After hearing the report from the guards, a noble lord came outside the north city wall, and he has been invited in now... Chief Logan thought it was Lord Suldak.
Then I heard the guards say that the person who came was not Lord Surdak, nor any of the officers under Lord Surdak, but a noble lord whom they had never seen before, and they didn't understand Egg.
In Rhodes, neither party can communicate.
It was only because they were from the Green Empire that they were allowed to enter the Beishankou camp.
Chief Logan quickly asked the guards to invite the lord to the meeting hall.
He thought that after receiving the recruitment order from Surdak a few days ago, the Aegrod tribe had already sent out 50,000 troops, heading west along the roots of the mountains in the northern foothills.
Another noble lord was sent at this time, perhaps because the plan had changed.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my steps.
The situation on the highlands of Moyunling is changing rapidly. For the Aigrod tribe coalition, it is okay to rely on the wall of Beishan Pass to block the retreat of the evil ghost army, but if they want them to send troops to attack the evil ghost camp in Horsens Mountain, this is
It's a bit risky.
There are also two tribal chiefs who take turns at night in the meeting hall. They keep vigil in the meeting hall to deal with emergencies on the north city wall at night.
However, there was a bloody battle when the Dabei City Wall was first built, and there has been no war since then, and the evil spirits will not be active at night.
The Allied Forces of the Aegrod Tribe are guarding the North Mountain Pass. They have not seen the Evil Ghost Army at all in the recent period.
Surdak left behind plenty of military supplies before leaving. After the last bloody battle, the clan leaders of each tribe suddenly felt that those evil spirits that were more terrifying than the flood beasts were not so scary anymore.
When Chief Logan saw Marquis Heller, he felt that this noble lord was more imposing than Lord Suldak.
No wonder the guard said the visitor was a lord when he reported.
The meeting hall is where the clan leaders of the tribal alliance usually discuss matters. It is located at the front of several rows of small buildings built behind the north city wall.
The square building with brick and stone structure is quite similar to the architectural style of the Tarapagan area. There are also two wing rooms on both sides of the main hall. The main entrance is made of square rocks and is filled with firewood.
All the ashes are falling.
A group of patriarchs gathered in the meeting hall, and they were chatting with Marquis Heller.
They came here to exchange something with this lord from the empire.
Warcraft materials are also good,
Magic herbs are also good,
Now that the evil spirits in the northern mountains at the foot of the North Mountain of Moyun Ridge have almost disappeared, the hunters in the tribe can go hunting in the mountains further north.
Some materials that are of no use to them are good things in the eyes of this group of imperial people. There are many materials that can be exchanged, such as linen cloth, copper and iron utensils, grain, daily necessities for daily life, anything can be
.
But this noble lord was sitting in the meeting hall with a sullen face all the time. He would occasionally say something in Imperial dialect and then find that everyone couldn't understand him, so he would remain silent.
The walls around the hall were lit with pine torches. The wood was soaked in pine oil and could burn for a long time after being lit.
The room was filled with a strong smell of pine oil. The dome of the room was very high, and the smoke drifted out through the transom windows on the roof, so the hall was filled with the smoke of fireworks.
Chief Logan walked in from outside, and all the chiefs stood up to greet him.
Marquis Heller saw Chief Logan walking in and knew that this was the leader of the aboriginal tribe. He nodded to Chief Logan and asked, "Can you understand Imperial Language?"
"If you can understand a little, we can have a simple communication." Chief Logan looked at Marquis Valentin Heller and smelled the unique smell of the imperial aristocrats from his body, the arrogance in his bones no matter what.
Even if you do it, it’s hard to hide it.
Marquis Heller said calmly: "I am Marquis Valentin Heller, the lord of the tundra in the western part of Moyun Ridge."
He felt that speaking to an aboriginal in this way was already giving him the greatest respect.
"..."
The words that Chief Logan wanted to say suddenly became unspeakable.
What is the western tundra lord of Moyun Ridge? Shouldn’t the entire Moyun Ridge be the territory of Lord Surdak?
If it weren't for... Lord Surdak's promise to hand over Moyun Ridge to the Aigrod tribe to live and live, wouldn't it be an empty talk?
But if... what Lord Surdak promised was false, then wouldn't he have shot down a stone by using so many weapons, equipment and military supplies to help the Aigrod tribe form an army of hundreds of thousands?
My own feet?
At this moment, he wanted to ask Marquis Heller if the lord of Moyunling Highlands was not Count Suldak?
Suddenly he realized that the person sitting in front of him turned out to be a marquis, and Lord Suldak was heard to be just an earl, which was a big gap in the noble hierarchy.
Chief Logan wanted to know more about the situation, so he leaned forward and said, "I am Logan, the chief of the Cullman tribe of the Aegrod clan. What do you want to do here?"
The string of titles made Marquis Heller a little dizzy, but he still heard the last sentence clearly.
Marquis Heller said directly: "We have just learned that the Aigrod tribe built a wall at the northern pass of Moyun Ridge. I came here to borrow money from the Hegui tribe to leave Moyun Ridge."
Further north is the northern mountain range, which is where the Aegrod tribe lives. Chief Logan feels that they have no reason to leave. Even if they leave, they should leave through the South Pass. Now they will take a detour and leave through the North Pass.
It's a little abnormal.
The tribal chiefs sitting around saw the great change in the face of Chief Logan, and they all looked at Marquis Heller in astonishment. For a while, the meeting hall became silent.
Now is the time when the Aigrod tribe and the imperial army are uniting to resist the evil ghost army. Why is there still an imperial army taking a detour to leave Moyun Ridge at this time?
Moreover, the path chosen also passes through the settlement of the Aegrod tribe...
…
Marquis Heller has keenly sensed some subtle changes in the atmosphere in the meeting hall. He guessed that if he said that he wanted to use a road to leave Moyunling, the indigenous tribes would most likely not trust the imperial army entering their territory.
He then explained: "Currently, my army is being bitten by an evil ghost army, and the reinforcements from Handanar County cannot arrive in time, so we can only make the worst plan and choose to evacuate the northern tundra...
…”
"But if we can find a strong reinforcement to help me block the attack of the evil spirits, then my heavy armored infantry regiment can hold the land here and wait for the reinforcements to arrive."
Then he stated the purpose of his trip:
"If your tribe is willing to send troops to fight with us to resist the evil ghost army, I think it will be very beneficial to both of us. And as long as you are willing to fight with us to resist the evil ghosts, the promise I can make is to provide certain compensation in terms of military supplies.
.”
He thought that if Chief Logan refused his proposal to leave via a road, then he would most likely agree to his second proposal.
…
"Do you want us to unite to fight against the evil spirits?" Chief Logan asked.
He was a little more suspicious of Marquis Heller's identity.
Hasn’t the alliance contract between us been signed long ago?
Come here... If you directly say that we are under siege by evil spirits, please ask us to send troops to rescue the siege. I am afraid that the Aigrod Alliance Army is already on the road at this moment.
But why did Marquis Heller go in such a big circle?
The most likely possibility is that Margrave Heller did not know about the alliance contract signed between Lord Suldak and the Aigrod tribe.
"There is indeed such a plan."
"I think the Aigrod tribe built a city wall here to resist the evil ghost army, probably to prevent the evil ghost army from continuing to invade the north, so it will definitely be beneficial to unite with us to fight against the evil ghost army.
A harmful thing."
"As long as your tribe can help us solve this crisis, I can promise that when our supplies arrive here, I will be willing to give some of them to our future allies for free."
Chief Logan had even greater doubts in his heart.
Aren’t the supplies we are using now originally provided by you?
There must be some problems between the Marquis Valentin Heller and Lord Suldak, but there is no one to discuss them with at this time.
Chief Logan thought for a while and then said to Marquis Heller: "This matter is not something I can decide alone. I need to discuss it with other tribal chiefs."
"Come here, take Marquis Valentin Heller and his party to have a rest."
Chief Logan said the last words in Aboriginal language. Immediately, two guards came in and asked Marquis Heller to leave the meeting hall.
…
Marquis Heller didn't expect that he hadn't said what supplies he would give away!
He was actually invited out by this group of natives.
Marquis Heller suppressed the anger in his heart. The only one who dared to treat him like this in Handanar City was Archduke Newman.
Although they know that this kind of discussion is essential, it is not a good thing to enter the second round of discussions so quickly, because they have no conditions for listening to themselves.
Maybe these natives may get better results after hearing the conditions they set.
Marquis Valentin Heller led a group of personal guards on the stone road streets in the residential area behind the city wall, thinking about how to impress the leader of the indigenous tribe.
He thought Chief Logan looked easy to talk to...
Perhaps if you provide these tribesmen with weapons, armor, and war horses, they will happily agree.
As Marquis Heller was walking, he heard the guards around him whispering:
"Why do the buildings here resemble the style of our Tarapagan area..."
"Yes! If I wasn't sure that I was in the highlands of Moyunling, I would have thought I was back in some small town in my hometown..."
"..."
Marquis Heller felt as if someone had punched him hard in the heart.
