Ten minutes later, Xi Fan flew down from the clouds.
The chest part of his magic robe was almost shattered, and a half-meter-long gash was torn out in his chest and abdomen, emitting a strong holy light.
Moreover, his face turned purple-black, and he was obviously seriously injured.
"Master Xifan, are you seriously injured?" the princess asked with concern.
"It's okay, just a minor injury." Xifan replied: "As for Madeline, she was hit by my [Shadow Madness]. In less than a week, her soul will split and die."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"All for the Empire."
Xi Fan turned into a black smoke and flew back into the carriage.
The princess sighed slightly and looked at Kelderon beside her: "As a team, continue to Maple Leaf City."
"As commanded."
Kelderon took the order and went.
Su Yu's mission log has also been updated.
"Ding! Your main plot has been updated! [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (11/100)]."
"Mission requirement: Continue to escort [Prince Alijie]'s convoy to Maple Leaf City."
"Task reward: experience value x300."
...
After the battle, the players originally wanted to follow Su Yu to Maple Leaf City.
But after hearing that it took three days to get to Maple Leaf City, which meant six hours of game time, the players returned to Plantagenet City one after another.
However, you can teleport to Maple Leaf City through the player's exclusive teleportation array, which will not affect your participation in the next battle.
In the end, only Su Yu followed the imperial convoy and continued to its destination.
…
The journey continued smoothly without any attacks.
Six hours later, the convoy arrived at its destination—Maple Leaf City.
At the gate of Maple Leaf City, Duke Anzu Seifer and his subordinates have been waiting here for a long time.
Anzu Seifer is a middle-aged man about 40 years old, with black hair and black beard, and a very mature and solemn face.
Now he was wearing black armor, riding a tall black horse, looking at the direction of the Royal Princess's motorcade.
There are more than a hundred strong men suspended in the sky above the city gate.
In the game, players and NPCs above level five have the ability to fly physically. These more than one hundred powerful players above level five are the direct subordinates of Duke Seifer.
At this time, these strong men appeared above the city gate, on the one hand to welcome the princess, and on the other hand to show their strength to the princess.
After the Royal Princess's motorcade arrived, Duke Seifer came over with his strong men.
"Dear Your Highness Alijie, Master Xifan, we meet again!"
Duke Cypher jumped off his horse and bowed slightly towards the princess and Xi Fan, with a warm smile on his face.
Xifan did not answer, but nodded slightly.
He looked at the more than a hundred strong men suspended in the sky, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
The princess slowly walked down from the carriage with her cat Chenxing in her arms, with a smile on her face: "Nice to see you again, Your Majesty the Duke."
The two came together and shook hands gently.
Although the two sides were life-and-death enemies on the battlefield, during the negotiations, everyone was quite calm and calm.
"Let's go into the city. I'll prepare a top-notch reception dinner for you. All the great nobles and high-level powerful people in the city will attend. I hope we can all have a pleasant night." Duke Seifer said gracefully.
"You took the trouble."
The princess returned to the carriage with the cat Morningstar in her arms, and Duke Cypher also mounted his horse again.
Led by the Duke, the motorcade drove into Maple Leaf City.
...
Maple Leaf City is a large city in the northeastern part of the empire, about the same size as Oran City where Tina is located, with a permanent population of about 400,000.
That evening, Duke Seve held a grand reception dinner for the princess.
Su Yu was not qualified to attend this reception dinner.
Su Yu's main plot requires him to report to the Duke's castle - Wolf Howl Castle the next day, which will not start until two hours later.
In the past two hours, Su Yu went to the leveling area outside the city to kill monsters and got through it easily.
Two hours later, Su Yu arrived alone at Wolf Howl Castle in the wealthy area west of Maple Leaf City.
The Howling Wolf Castle is a giant castle with four floors and nearly 20 meters in height. There are arrow butts and watchtowers above the castle, and there is a very wide moat below the castle. This is the home of Duke Sever.
Su Yu showed the badge given by the princess to the guard guarding the door and successfully entered the castle.
All the way to the conference room on the second floor of the castle.
In the conference room, the Royal Princess and Duke Sever were sitting on both sides of the long table.
Su Yu arrived in a hurry, so when he arrived, the negotiation had just begun.
Of course Su Yu was not qualified to sit on the long table.
He stood behind the princess and was considered an entourage.
After some pleasantries, the negotiations between the two parties got down to business.
The princess came here apparently for peace and a truce.
Therefore, not long after the negotiations began, Hill, the minister in charge of the negotiations, put forward his own demands:
"Your Majesty, my suggestion is that the Plantagenet royal family and Kallet rule along the Glow River, and both parties promise not to invade each other for 30 years."
The Glowing River is a large river that flows through the east-west central axis of the Plantagenet Empire. If both parties decide to draw the river to rule, then the split of the Plantagenet Empire into two will become an established fact.
Duke Cypher crossed his fingers to his mouth with a serious expression: "I agree with your idea, but I have a request - Plantagenet City must be ours."
"This is impossible, Your Majesty the Duke." Hill said hurriedly: "The Plantagenet City is a symbol of the royal family, we can't..."
"Wait a minute, Hill." The princess interrupted her foreign minister with a wave of her hand, and looked at Duke Severe calmly: "I can make the decision and give you Plantagenet City."
"Your Highness..." Foreign Secretary Hill was very reluctant.
"But I have a condition." The princess continued: "Duke Lantilus must also send a representative and sign the agreement."
"Lantilus..." Duke Cypher frowned.
Within Kallet, Duke Seifer has always advocated stopping to consolidate the results.
They already control half of the Plantagenet Empire. It is so huge that it will take a long time to digest and absorb it.
But Landilus always disagreed.
Lantilus was the main militant, and he advocated annihilating the Plantagenet royal family in one go, without leaving any chance for the royal family to breathe and make a comeback.
Both of them have valid ideas, but they have different opinions. It is really difficult to get Lantilus to agree to the current negotiation conditions.
"Your Majesty, Duke, to be honest," the princess said sternly: "If Duke Landilus does not agree to our agreement, even if we conclude the agreement, it will not have much effect, don't you think?"
Duke Cypher nodded: "What you said makes sense. Landilus is indeed a hurdle that cannot be overcome between us... Let's do this. I will send a magic communication to Landilus right now. His messenger should be able to do it tomorrow.
We will start formal negotiations among the three parties the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, Your Excellency, I hope we can reach an agreement as soon as possible." The princess stood up and shook hands with Duke Sever.
The first negotiation when the princess arrived at Maple Leaf City ended just like that.
