After handing the blueprint to Ruba, Nalant walked around the territory again.
As reported by Mario and others, the relationship between the Storm Territory and the Bach Empire has been temporarily stabilized, and a group of caravans from the Principality have headed to the Storm Territory again.
After all, wine and white sugar and brown sugar are very scarce goods, and they have a very large market in various principalities and empires.
After confirming that the Storm Territory's business had returned to normal, Nalant went to the city wall construction site again.
With the continuous efforts of the goblins during this period, half of the city wall has been completed.
In fact, you can still see the city wall even when you are standing in the town, but when you get near the construction site, the wide city wall becomes even more impactful.
"Goblins are indeed the master builders of fantasy worlds. They are perfect for moving bricks!"
If ordinary human serfs from Nalant were used, the construction progress of this city wall would definitely not be that fast.
Just an inner city would take three to five years to complete.
Although Goblins are not good at fighting, they still have extraordinary strength, and their talent in this area cannot be underestimated.
After completing the inspection of the construction site and wandering around various workshops for a while, Narant returned to the castle.
In the next few days, things were calm in Nalant's Storm Territory.
The subordinates are also training hard, preparing for the dark abyss that is getting closer and closer.
And more than ten days later, Narant finally waited for the Bach Empire's envoy.
This time the mission was no longer led by Duke Michel.
After all, the two parties have already negotiated the exchange and only need to complete the remaining handover.
The person leading the team this time was an honorary marquis of the Bach Empire and a diplomat of King Bach, named Du Li.
"Meet Baron Narante!"
This Du Li is very sensible. He didn't show any arrogance after coming to the Storm Territory. I don't know if he received instructions from Duke Michel.
"Well, you're welcome, Mr. Du Li, let's sit down and talk!" As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, Narant also asked him to sit down in a friendly manner.
Immediately after he sat down, he asked: "Sir, have you brought the deeds for the three earls of Northbury and the transfer letter from your king?"
"Baron Nalant, I have brought all the contracts, but I don't know Duke Piccolo and others..." Upon hearing this, Duke immediately took out a few pieces of parchment from his arms.
However, he also needed to confirm the status of Duke Piccolo and others first.
After all, the number of prisoners mentioned by Nalant before was all said by Nalant and the young nobles who were released.
"Haha, since I brought the contract, I must let you meet Duke Piccolo and others first!"
With that said, Nalant waved his hand towards Quik who was standing aside.
"Go and invite Duke Bik and the commanders over and tell them that the Bach Empire's envoy has arrived!"
"Yes, sir!" Quick took the name immediately and headed out of the hall.
"Baron Nalant's Storm Territory is indeed unique. Although it is located on the edge of the Black Rock Plain, I can see an endless stream of caravans on the road!"
"Speaking of which, my previous impression of the Black Rock Plain was that there were only ferocious orcs. I heard that the orcs often harassed the borders of the Black Rock Plain, causing the nobles on the border to suffer miserably."
Taking advantage of the moment when Quick left, Duke looked around the hall and spoke to Nalant.
Speaking of which, he really didn't expect that the Storm Realm would be so prosperous.
Although the number of people is completely incomparable to that of King Bach, the caravans coming and going are rare to see even in some principalities.
"Haha, I have to thank all countries for their unique love for me, the Storm Territory!"
Narant was very modest and answered with a smile.
"Haha, Baron Nalant's specialty of the Storm Territory is popular enough. Wine is in short supply even in our Bach capital."
"It's a pity that your wine, Baron Narant, is not sold directly to our Bach Empire. I don't know if Lord Narant wants to change this decision."
"Actually, our Bach Empire is also a very big market!"
At this time, Duke finally revealed his purpose. It turned out that he wanted Narant to open trade with the Bach Empire.
In the past, due to the bad blood between the two sides, Narant had cut off the supply of the Bach Empire's caravan when the supply of wine and sugar exceeded demand.
This meant that if the Bach Empire wanted to obtain wine and sugar, it had to obtain them from caravans from other empires and principalities.
Many nobles even secretly came through their connections and pretended to be teams from other principalities in the city.
But even so, it was only a drop in the bucket, making wine and sugar an absolute scarcity in Bach's empire.
When Duke came this time, he also received private requests from many nobles to see if Nalant could change this restriction.
"Haha, Lord Duke, wine and sugar are the biggest sources of income for me in the Storm Territory. I will naturally make money if I can."
"It's just that for the time being, my supply of wine and sugar cannot satisfy the purchases of all the caravans, so if the Bach Empire wants to purchase them, they still need to wait a while!"
Although Narant likes gold coins, he doesn't like the Bach Empire.
Therefore, even though the Bach Empire has a large share, Narant is unwilling to give them a drink.
After hearing Nalant's words, Duke suddenly showed a disappointed expression and was about to say something, but Quick came back outside the door.
"Sir, the commanders of the Bach coalition forces have all been brought!"
"Okay, bring them in!"
Immediately, Duke Bic and several other commanders were brought in.
"Duke Piccolo, are you okay?" Upon seeing this, Duke did not say anything about trade, but quickly stood up and walked towards Duke Piccolo.
"Duke, did His Majesty send you here this time? I'm fine!" Duke Piccolo responded with disdain when he saw Duke.
At this time, Duke looked at the coach on Duke Piccolo's feet and immediately frowned.
"Duke Bic, please sit down first. Duke Michel has already reached an agreement with Baron Nalant. We will make the delivery immediately!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Duke Bic sat down, the Duke quickly handed several pieces of parchment to Nalant.
"Baron Narant, this is the territory deed and transfer letter you need. Check it out. If there is no problem, please remove the shackles of Duke Bick and all the commanders."
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Nalant took the parchment and started reading it directly.
The territory contract is similar to the land contract in the previous life. The scope of the territory is marked on the top, and there is also the steel seal of the Alliance Council. Every earl has one copy, which means that there is a three-point territory contract.
Such a contract is also to avoid disputes within the alliance, so the alliance parliament will provide proof.
Then there is a transfer letter, which states that the Bach Empire transferred the three earls of North Burley to Narant, and it has the signature and seal of King Bach, so Narant now has these three earls.
It's completely legal.
As for what means the Bach Empire will use to regain these territories if they want to make small moves in the future.
In fact, it is very simple. In the face of absolute strength, these things are actually useless.
Just like it is clearly a washing powder, but it can also be said to be a weapon, all it takes is an excuse.
Of course, if Nalant had the ability, he could teach the Bach Empire a lesson and ask him to pay corresponding compensation afterwards.
Well, of course, Nalant doesn't need to worry about this now. He is ready to sell this enclave. By then, there will naturally be several other empires competing with the Bach Empire.
"Quick, hurry up and unshackle Duke Piccolo and others. Why are you so ignorant? I just said to invite some commanders over. You should unshackle the commanders!" Put some parchments on them!
After folding it up and putting it in his arms, Nalant pretended to be scolding Quick.
"Yes, sir, it was a small mistake!" Quick was very sensible and recognized it immediately, and then led his men to shackle the Bach coalition commanders.
"By the way, Your Excellency Duke, the remaining extraordinary knights of the Bach coalition are outside the castle. There will be no shortage of them. I will take you to see them now?"
Nalant then spoke to Duke again.
Duke looked at Duke Piccolo.
"Go and take a look immediately, confirm the number of people, and we will return immediately!" Duke Piccolo did not want to stay in the Storm Territory for a moment longer.
Because it was so embarrassing, he, the mighty Bach God of War, was captured by Narant and held captive for several months.
Moreover, he was fed up with this guy Narant. The previous shackles made it sure that he had not explained anything in advance, but now he could seem to blame his subordinates.
"Okay, Baron Nalant, let's go check it out immediately!" Duke heard this and naturally followed Duke Bick's arrangement.
Immediately, everyone headed out of the castle under the leadership of Nalant.
At this time, Duke Bick specifically walked behind with Duke, and then asked in a low voice, "Duke, this time our Bach Empire did not spend any other money except the three counties of North Burleigh in exchange, right?"
"Duke Bick, although Baron Nalant was a lion at first, fortunately, Duke Michel personally negotiated with him, and in the end, except for the exchange of three counts of North Burley, there was no more
Pay for the rest!" Duke immediately answered truthfully after hearing this.
"That's a little better, but even so, it still makes a lot of money for Nalant. Those are three very safe grain-producing areas!"
"Duke Piccolo, there's nothing we can do about it. Baron Nalant is threatening a group of prisoners from the coalition forces, and the price he's asking for is really... really..."
"Let's put it this way, when Baron Nalant was negotiating, it seemed that even the daily meals of the Duke and the commanders were included in the gold coins!"
Duke originally wanted to say that Narant was really greedy, but in the end he was worried about being noticed by Narant, so he changed his explanation.
"What, even our daily meals have to be counted as gold coins?" Duke Piccolo's eyes widened. He had never seen such a shameless nobleman before.
"Yes, I heard that when Baron Nalant asked for a price, Duke Piccolo and several commanders were charged a thousand gold coins per day for food, while other ordinary extraordinary knights were charged ten gold coins per day for food.
.”
"Baron Nalant also said that if our Bach Empire does not redeem the Duke and other coalition members as soon as possible, the gold coins will be stacked every day..." At this point, Duke stopped talking, because he saw
By the time Duke Piccolo arrived, he had already clenched his clenching fist.
He was very worried that Duke Bic would not be able to bear it and start a fight with Nalant now.
It would be easy to say if we win.
But if it fails, then the previous negotiations and investment will be in vain.
Therefore, what he hopes most now is to immediately bring Duke Piccolo and others back to the empire safely and complete this mission safely.
Fortunately, Duke Piccolo has already seen Nalant's power, and he knows how to exercise more restraint than Duke thinks.
Although Duke Piccolo wanted to yell at the shameless boy and then go up and hammer Nalant to pieces, unfortunately he still held back.
I still remember the way Nalant brought food during those days when I was captured.
At that time, the most common thing Narant said was, 'Everyone, you are welcome, you are just a guest. Although the relationship between us is somewhat different, it is actually the same...'
'I, Nalant, am the most hospitable, so I will provide these fine wines and delicious food to you every day to ensure that I fulfill my previous oath to give you enough dignity.'
At that time, Duke Piccolo and other commanders looked at Nalant with a high regard, feeling that this boy still maintained some chivalry.
But now I realize that this is not a chivalry, it is simply a profiteer with a dark heart.
The commanders who were following Duke Bic also heard it clearly. Their faces were full of strange expressions at this moment. They really didn’t know how to evaluate Nalant.
"Duke Piccolo, and everyone else, over there is the camp where all the captured subordinates are. I will send someone to call the captain here. You can confirm it after asking!"
Narant actually heard what Duke said, but he pretended not to notice at all.
Just kidding, Narant's face has been developed in this other world, and he can naturally keep his face calm when facing such things.
And now that the contract is secure, it doesn't matter what they think.
Immediately, Nalant had someone call out the captured captains.
As several commanders inquired one by one, the specific number of prisoners was almost confirmed.
"Baron Nalant, since the number of people is correct, we are ready to set off and return!" After Duke asked Duke Bick for his opinion, he immediately came to Nalant and prepared to say goodbye.
"Is it so soon? Why don't you all stay in my Stormland Territory for one more night? After all, it's already afternoon!" Nalant said with a smile.
Still staying?
Duke Piccolo and others felt like they wanted to yell loudly when they heard this.
One thousand gold coins a day, even in the capital of Bach, they had never been so extravagant.
Of course, although it is very likely that we will not charge money now.
But when they thought about being tricked by Nalant some time ago, they lost their appetite.
"No, no, thank you to Baron Nalant for your kindness. Our mission has brought the food this time. You can just eat it on the road!" Upon seeing this, Duke immediately waved to Nalant.
"Well, in that case, I hope you can come to Stormland again when you are free. I welcome you at any time!" Nalant nodded with a smile.
Immediately, Nalant called Quick to open the gate of the camp and let the Bach coalition prisoners begin to evacuate.
