In fact, the ransom book and the military uniform were still brand new when they were given to Matthew. He had specially processed them during the process, smeared them with his own blood, and then destroyed the clothes to make them look like they are now, in order to increase their credibility and avoid any flaws.
.
Facts have proved that this method is very effective.
The king itself valued Matthew very much and had enough trust. Domestic civil and military officials also had a good relationship with Matthew and tended to believe what he said.
In fact, the most important thing is the trust of the king and the prime minister. These two do not doubt Matthew, and others will not doubt him.
This is the reason why Renn chose Matthew. From what happened before, it can be seen that King Herman trusts him and he takes advantage of this.
After Matthew withdrew, the king immediately consulted with the prime minister and the officials present.
He himself was not very willing to pay the ransom, and he could not ignore Bernanto and others. On the one hand, these people were the pillars of Herman and the key to maintaining the stability of the major aristocratic forces in the country. On the other hand,
The loss of these elite generals, especially Bernanto, a top seventh-level powerhouse, would be a fatal blow to the Kingdom of Herman.
The most important thing is that regardless of whether Rennes really wants the hostages to be redeemed, the king's choice not to agree, which resulted in the death of Bernanto and the captured general, will seriously tear the relationship with the aristocratic forces behind them and make
The power that originally supported him disappeared, and even stood on the opposite side.
Even if there are a thousand or ten thousand people who are unwilling, after weighing the pros and cons, they find that it is impossible not to change.
But he could not pay directly from the treasury to redeem everyone, and the book stated that most generals were willing to let their families pay, but only Bernanto and a few generals had no attitude.
What the king has to do is to inform these families first and see what their attitude is.
Generally speaking, Bernanto and several stronger generals, their respective families will definitely not give up, and will be willing to pay even if the ransom is very expensive. Only a few of them can afford to use money from the treasury to ransom people, and they can still
Make these generals and their families more loyal.
The only problem is that this matter cannot be spread, otherwise the Kingdom of Herman will lose face and must block the news to ensure that others will not know that Bernanto and others were captured and that they were forced to pay to redeem their people.
The king discussed how to solve the problem. Matthew went to the church to find a priest to treat his injuries. After recovering, he returned home and thought about how to escape from the capital before Herman redeemed Bernanto and others and exposed his lies.
Use your connections to prepare a "gift" for Ren without the king's knowledge, letting him know that he is indeed useful.
Nangris, Silver Castle.
"Your Majesty the Demon King, there is news about the brave Julius!" One of the Twelve Demon Generals, the Bull Demon April Reed, reported to the Demon King through the demon clan's unique communication method.
There is a kind of demon called the eyeball monster, which looks a bit like a large bat, with a giant eyeball that is bigger than its body, which is very weird.
This kind of eyeball monster can establish contact with the same kind. Even if it is far away, it can see everything the other party sees, hear the sounds the other party hears, and project it through this eyeball, and at the same time present the picture the other party sees.
The eyeball monster on the Demon King's side projects the image of the Bull Demon Aibo, and the Bull Demon's image also projects the Demon King's image, which is as convenient as a video call.
If humans were unable to tame demons, any demon that appeared on the human continent would be surrounded and suppressed by the Church of the Light Camp. In fact, the development of this communication method is quite good, provided that you can ensure that you control the demon and prevent it from messing around.
The bull demon Aibo was sent to garrison at the northern border of Nangris. He received news about the brave Julius so quickly. The demon king was surprised: "Where did you get the news?"
"Your Majesty, I sent my subordinates to sneak into the Kingdom of Gersun in the north and get the exact information from the local nobles!" The Bull Demon Ai Bo respectfully replied, "The Sun God Cult has contacted the brave Julius and has determined that the brave is coming from the north.
Fight to the death with you!"
"Sun God Cult? They are involved. This news should be true." The Demon King nodded, "Well done! It was just a fluke that Julius defeated me a hundred years ago. This time, I want him to know what despair is! Give it to me.
Keep an eye out for any news related to Julius."
"yes!"
While he was speaking, the Demon King suddenly frowned, as if he sensed something.
The lich next to him observed what he was saying and quickly asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"Max, something happened to Phila!" the Demon King said in a deep voice.
"Lord Max, Lord Fila?" The Lich showed a puzzled expression, "How is that possible? These two adults are very powerful. They once accompanied you to conquer the Western Continent. What could happen if you go to the Warcraft Forest?"
The Demon King had a serious expression: "Max has been eliminated! His soul fire is on its way back. As for Fila, the connection with me has been cut off. I don't know whether he is dead or alive!"
"How is it possible?" The Lich was shocked, "Did those two adults meet the brave? But isn't the brave in the north? Could it be that the Lord of Warcraft..."
"It seems that the Warcraft Forest is different from before!" The Demon King narrowed his eyes.
"Your Majesty the Demon King, why don't I go to the Warcraft Forest to investigate? See what happened to the two adults?" The Lich volunteered.
The Demon King shook his head: "It's not necessary! When Max's soul fire returns here, I will resurrect him and understand the situation personally. The Kingdom of Herman and other surrounding countries will jointly attack Camelback City and will soon fight against the Lord of Warcraft
.They are restraining each other, so ignore them for the time being. For me, the biggest enemy is Julius. As long as I defeat him, no one can stop my army! By then, the Warcraft Forest can be easily conquered!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" the Lich flattered immediately, "Under your leadership, we will surely conquer the world!"
"How is the troop mobilization situation in Nangris?" the devil asked.
"The forces of Hope Castle, Copper Hammer Fortress and Star-Moon City have been successfully mobilized to guard the eastern and northern borders respectively. The new king Schneider is also working hard to cooperate under the control of the succubus, using domestic civilians to create more skeleton soldiers for us!"
The Lich replied proudly.
"Very good!" Hearing this, the Demon King nodded with satisfaction, "What's going on in the Andrea Empire?"
"The other party wanted to go south by sea, but was blocked by the sea tribe and had to give up the plan."
"I thought that the Andrea Empire could send troops to outflank the Kingdom of Herman, putting the Warcraft Lord in a desperate situation and having to seek refuge with me." The Demon King lowered his head and thought, "It's interesting that the Sea Tribe actually stood up to stop the Andrea Empire!"
"It seems that the Sea Tribe and the Warcraft Lord are on the same side," Lich said. "There is something wrong with Storm City. Although they have not refused to send troops to attack the Warcraft Forest, they have been deliberately delaying it. Do you want to..."
"Don't cause trouble before killing Julius. For me, Julius is the top priority!"
