"Report!" A loud report came from outside the tent. The adjutant opened the curtain and walked in, placing a stack of documents in front of Lieutenant General Helter, "Sir, this is a document transferred from the Guards Command. I need you to
's signature."
"Get out." Lieutenant General Haiert took the document, looked at the royal liaison officer sitting opposite him, and continued to ask, "His Majesty the Emperor and the First Princess are really okay? Are evil spirits sneaking into the Holy City?
The matter is so big that even the residents here know about it.”
"His Majesty the Emperor and the First Princess are a little weak, but His Majesty asked me to tell the General that Your Majesty can still hold on. The General does not need to worry too much. The war here will continue according to the established steps in the past." Royal Liaison Officer
He replied: "As for the rebels in Riva and the situation in Sbia, the general can not give priority to it and just focus on dealing with the Demon Alliance."
"When you return to the Holy Capital, tell His Majesty that all plans are being carried out according to the steps. The previous two attacks by the Demon Alliance failed miserably." At this point, Lieutenant General Haiert frowned slightly, "But in this case
At this critical moment, they sent a woman to conduct peace negotiations. She was an extremely annoying woman. They only talked with her for seven days and had already quarreled more than ten times."
"Please be patient, General. I will return to the Holy Capital immediately and ask Your Majesty to send a diplomatic envoy for the General to handle the negotiations."
"That's not necessary. The so-called negotiations are just a break in the war. Diplomats don't understand military affairs, so it will be troublesome when they come." Lieutenant General Helter shook his head, "Even if she said it was fair and aboveboard, the information returned by the intelligence system
The information on demon war preparations is becoming more detailed day by day. They have heard about His Majesty's situation and are ready to do something big. They are just waiting to blame us for the failure of the negotiation."
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." The royal liaison officer stood up, "The situation is not very optimistic. General, please be careful."
Lieutenant General Helter stood up and escorted the royal liaison officer representing His Majesty out of the camp. He watched the cavalry team escorting him disappear under the horizon before turning around and looking at a small town not far away, frowning.
The frown deepened - this was a small town on the front line. Because it had no strategic value, it was not affected by the war and was used as a place for negotiations between the two armies.
This damn negotiation has been going on for half a month. Because the demands of both sides are too far apart and both sides lack sincerity, the negotiation is on the verge of a complete breakdown. The previous representatives of the Demon Alliance were all old men from the Demon Palace, except for the one-day number.
For the first time in front of Lieutenant General Haiert, he sung the praises of their eternally correct and great dark demons, and there was no more practical words in his mouth. The bored Lieutenant General Haiert could just roll his eyes and sit across from each other until it was time to eat... But
The situation has changed now. Those old men suddenly disappeared overnight and were replaced by a young princess from the Tulan Empire.
The Tulan Empire is located in a harsh cold zone, with rolling snow-capped mountains and boundless coasts. The living conditions are harsh, but the women who grow up in that land are more dignified and tough than those from any other demonic empire.
Don't expect to see debauchery on their pretty, cold and proud faces. Their proud figures are wrapped in simple yet generous and decent clothes, revealing only a little bit of their snow-white and delicate skin, their long and curved thin eyebrows, and their elegant appearance.
He spoke with eyes as clear as sapphires.
As the highest military commander in the occupied land, Haiert clearly knows that the current peace negotiations are nonsense. They are just taking this opportunity to rush to transport supplies, because of the locust disaster and gradual chaos that are gradually raging throughout the Demon Alliance.
The market price of goods seriously lags behind their war preparations. But when a princess who is extremely attractive to men sits across from him every day, treats fake negotiations as real negotiations, and fights with him carefully and carefully one by one, Haiert
But he had to deal with it carefully. But the anger in his heart was like ignited kerosene, burning blazingly - this is a fake negotiation, can you stop playing tricks?
"Sir, are you worried?" The attentive adjutant came up behind Lieutenant General Helter and said softly: "If you are worried about the negotiator, we can ask the other party to replace him and let the bitch pack her things and get out of here.
"
"It's easier to tell her to get out, but what about us? We become deserters. You have to know that you can't choose your opponent, and you can't escape the battle that belongs to us." Lieutenant General Helter looked at the sudden blue face in the town.
The banner of the empire shook his head, "A woman, no matter how powerful she is, is just like that. I have never frowned while killing enemies, so why am I still afraid of her?"
"Since I said you're not afraid, sir, please take today's negotiation documents!" The adjutant handed over the things in his hand with a smile, "It's already time for negotiation. If you don't enter the venue, you will be ridiculed by that bitch again.
.”
"I just...all the men with demon attributes are dead!" Lieutenant General Helter cursed, "Isn't it okay to be absent today?"
"But sir, you have been absent for two days in a row. If you are absent again today, I'm afraid that the other party's envoys will come directly to us to protest and name the sir."
"Tell someone to wear my armor!"
"Sir, have you forgotten? You were recognized last time." The adjutant wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, which made Haiert feel angry. "I think... let the other party replace him?"
Haiert walked towards his tent, "Who should I change? I already said I won't change, so I sent the order to get ready to go. Hasn't the information from the liaison office been sent back yet?"
When Lieutenant General Helter was dressed neatly and walked out of the camp surrounded by guards, the adjutant also ran out of another tent with a few pieces of paper in his hand. After getting on his horse, he came to Helter's side and softly reported to the other party's negotiator.
, the details of the young Princess of the Blue Empire - Mary Hogsanda.
A lieutenant general never fights an unprepared battle. He knows himself and his enemy and can fight a hundred battles without danger - this is what the boss said.
After hearing the adjutant's report, Lieutenant General Helter realized that the opponent who was giving him a headache was actually not a spoiled and good baby. Even if you look at the entire Demon Alliance, her abilities are considered to be quite outstanding.
When she was young, when her father was still the emperor, Princess Mary of the Tulan Empire was very famous. However, her father was short-lived. The emperor suddenly became emperor within a few days, and the throne was passed to her father's brother, who was also her uncle.
.Unlike her father, her uncle's reproductive ability was super strong. When he ascended the throne, there were eight sons and seven daughters in the family. After he ascended the throne, it became even more incredible. The harem could be said to be prosperous... In comparison, the daughter of the late emperor
It doesn't attract much attention and is gradually forgotten.
But Princess Mary is a woman with a character who refuses to admit defeat, and she is not a woman who can endure loneliness. In her words, she must be famous enough. If she is famous enough, her uncle, the emperor, will be in big trouble.
.
He practiced martial arts at the age of seven and practiced magic at the age of nine. At the age of fourteen, he changed into men's clothes and rushed to the Tulan Empire Royal Warrior School alone to fight with the young warrior class who would graduate that year and join the army. The fight lasted from noon to night.
The princess, armed with both long and short swords, trampled the entire group of young warriors under her feet and won all their mounts. In desperation, her uncle, the emperor, had no choice but to give her the title of warrior and let her return to the capital for easier control.
As soon as she returned to the capital, the princess began her magnificent career in the aristocratic circle. The specific circumstances are unknown. It is only rumored that she resisted marriage five times, at least two of which were due to her uncle's wishes... In the end,
She became a legend with equal emphasis on beauty and wisdom, popular among thousands of teenagers. With her extremely high reputation and charm, she defeated many of her uncle's daughters and won the reputation of "The Flower of the Blue Empire". Although she was only nineteen years old, she was already
I am a veteran who has experienced foreign affairs negotiations three times.
Even Nv Hong, who knew nothing about it at the age of sixteen, was already a master after just three months of study.
"What kind of monster is this?" Haiert thought to herself while listening to the information relayed by the adjutant, "How can this thing be so weird... This is a negotiation that obviously has no chance of success. If her empire really
He values her so much, why did he send her here? What’s the point? Do you want her to fail? This doesn’t do any good!”
Then he scrolled down and saw the detailed analysis of the princess by the intelligence system.
Princess Mary and her guards were stationed in the town. In order to reflect the principle of fairness, the negotiation location was located on the middle line of the two camps. Although it was a creek, both sides built wooden structures on one side.
The platforms are connected by a long table. Under the table is the flowing stream. If you pay attention, you will occasionally see fish.
In the previous boring negotiations, Lieutenant General Helter threw bread crumbs into the water to feed the fish.
"I don't want to boycott your behavior, because you may want to use such behavior to show the prosperity of the Sibia Empire." At that time, Lieutenant General Helter described the girl as "a girl who doesn't know what is thinking in her head."
They looked at Lieutenant General Helter with a "provocative" look and said, "But I just want to tell you that the fish and shrimp here do not eat bread crumbs..."
"The general is happy to do so, and I will feed him again today!" Thinking back to this, Haiert took a special look at his briefcase. In addition to documents, it was full of bread crumbs - even the lieutenant general in the Sibia army had
The daily supply is fixed, but Haiert saved half of his breakfast and spent a lot of time kneading these bread crumbs.
"Representative of the Sibia Empire, Lieutenant General Haiert has arrived!" The moment Haiert dismounted, an officer outside the platform announced and opened the white curtain.
Lieutenant General Helter maintained his usual stiff expression and walked in with his four negotiating assistants. These four assistants were carefully selected. In addition to general negotiation details, they could all remember Lieutenant General Helter.
The general's teachings must be implemented - never suffer a loss. If the other party pokes the map with their finger, they will slap the table with their palms. If the other party speaks louder, then they will answer excitedly and take advantage of the opportunity.
Spray some spittle at the other person.
In fact, their spat attacks caused so much headache for each other that everyone wore the veil.
Lieutenant General Helter's combat boots stepped on the wooden platform, making a heavy sound, startling Princess Mary who was looking down at something. She raised her head slightly, and the straight long hair on the back of her head fell from the diamond belt.
It flowed down softly, sliding over her delicate ears, covering her slightly raised eyebrows. When Lieutenant General Haiert sat down with an astonishing imposing manner, wearing dozens of kilograms of armor from the gods, her eyes were still
So business-like; when Lieutenant General Heldt unceremoniously slammed his helmet on the table with a "pang", her two fingers holding the paper did not even move.
"Representatives from both sides are here, let's start today's negotiation!" An elderly demon noble stood up and acted as the host, "I would like to remind you with good intentions that our negotiation is for the empires and people of both sides.
I hope everyone can start today’s agenda in an atmosphere of equality, harmony, reason and civilization..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful, General I will throw you out!" Lieutenant General Helter interrupted the old nobleman's words and slapped Princess Mary in the face with a cold look, "You, you are reading the novel, I am talking about you! You know the Holy City
What happened?"
"If you are talking to me, you need to address me as Your Highness the Princess. If you find it troublesome or really embarrassed, it is also in line with foreign affairs etiquette to call me Your Highness. You are General Sibia, and I am Princess Tulan. Their identities should be distinguished.
Be more clear. Also." Princess Mary looked at Geert and put the text in her hand on the table, "I solemnly inform you that this is not a novel, but the details of the negotiation terms, written on several pieces of paper.
It can only be the general principles of negotiation."
"Princess? As long as it's not Sibia's, I don't need to admit it, General."
"Since you don't seem to care, then what's the point in calling him by name?"
"I'm asking you, do you know what happened in the Holy City!" Haiert didn't want to dwell on what he was not good at, so he went straight to the point, and the look in his eyes became stern, "If you keep pretending to be confused with me, I will let you
You can’t eat and walk around.”
"I don't know." Princess Mary looked at him with a normal expression, "Do you have anything to tell me?"
"The Demon Alliance sneaked into the Holy City with undead." Lieutenant General Helter said: "During the negotiation, you committed such despicable acts, what else is there to talk about? Overturn the previous agreement, prepare for war!"
"Impossible, all the previous documents were signed by Your Excellency, and both the Demon Palace and the Temple have their own records. It doesn't just change." Princess Mary responded calmly, "I have never heard of the sneak attack, even if it is a fact
, one thing is one thing, the two sides can negotiate on the sneak attack in the presence of the Demon Palace and the Temple, and the two things cannot be mixed together."
Both parties participating in the negotiations have strong goals. The Demon Alliance still needs two to three months to prepare for the war, but the Sibia side wants to delay the other party indefinitely. If it is delayed for one more day, the other party's
The combat effectiveness will be reduced by one point.
From Princess Mary's perspective, if Sibia overturns the previous agreement, then the negotiation will take more than half a year to end. Although the launch of the war is not limited by the negotiation time, as the attacking party, if it launches during the negotiation
Attacking is not good for the morale of the people.
From Lieutenant General Helter's point of view, he can disrupt the opponent's war preparations with small-scale attacks at any time, but that will trigger the opponent's next attack that is more well-prepared, thereby endangering Sbia's series of strategies. Therefore, he
He also needs to delay, try to delay the upcoming war until four months later. For him, the way to delay is very simple, which is to keep disgusting the other party... It is best to make the princess unable to bear it and adjourn the meeting!
Therefore, both parties treat negotiations very carefully.
"Want to continue talking? Yes!" Lieutenant General Helter leaned back, "I heard that the Tulan Empire has beauties. As compensation and to express sincerity, please send one or two hundred of them first!"
"Two hundred, right? The Tulan Empire can afford it." Princess Mary, who had long forgotten her gender during the negotiation, took a pen and put it on the paper, then raised her eyes and asked: "What is it called? To whom? To whom? To whom?"
Emperor Sibia?”
"I've never seen you like this. Can't you find a reason to give gifts?" Haiert laughed, "Don't send them to the Holy City, send them all to this general. The night is long... I can't sleep alone."
.”
The pen in Princess Mary's hand sank involuntarily, breaking the tip of the pen, and she said in a deep voice: "Avoid."
The negotiation helpers looked at each other and stepped back tacitly - these two were about to start again.
"Your Excellency actually dares to publicly ask for bribes from me during negotiations?" When the people around her left one after another, Princess Mary glared at Helter with angry eyes, "What are you thinking? Do you want to tell others that my negotiation skills are still there?
Not worth two hundred slaves?"
"What a joke! If I don't openly ask you for a bribe, do you want me to write a short letter and stuff it under your door?" Whenever he saw Princess Mary getting angry, Haiert couldn't help but feel happy, and he took the words very cooperatively.
"Woman! You have to know that no matter how powerful you are, you are still just a woman. You cannot compare to the power of two hundred beauties. This is absolutely!"
Lieutenant General Helter's two fingers stretched out completely angered Princess Mary. As the intelligence said, this princess could endure everything, but she could never tolerate others saying that she was incompetent.
"Damn it!" The princess immediately slapped her palm on the table, "How dare you offend me like this!"
"Not yet! This general just stretched out his finger and didn't touch you." Every hair on Lieutenant General Haiert's body was filled with sincere joy. "Woman, be careful when you slap the table. You may injure yourself."
It’s not easy to show others your middle finger…”
"You are rude and mean!"
"How is it? You bite me?"
"There is no place on your body that does not stink. No one would have such a great spirit of sacrifice to bite you!"
"Let me tell you, General, this is the breath of a man!"
"The breath is real, I don't know if it's a man!"
"Aha! Challenge! I took off my shirt to show you, do you dare to see it?"
"Of course I don't dare. I'm afraid of hurting my eyes."
"You can't do it!"
"Of course I can't do such a stupid thing. Please stay away and don't infect me with your stupidity..."
"I'll just rely on it..."
Several assistants standing in the distance were chatting boredly, but the adjutant was calculating the time based on past experience. When he felt that it was almost time, he asked someone to pull the horse over. Sure enough, as soon as the horse was pulled over, Lieutenant General Haiert became very angry.
She walked out and shouted as she walked, "So what if she's a princess! You old witch who can't marry in ten thousand years! No one will want you! Tell me, what is noble blood? Absolutely no blood will be shed from the body."
Talent is noble, but it is worthless when it is shed on the ground. The Demon Alliance is bleeding like a river in front of this general, so what qualifications do they have to talk about being noble with me? Ignorance!"
"Sir, you look so powerful today." The adjutant gave a thumbs up, "She will definitely cry and her eyes will turn red tomorrow!"
"Go back and eat." Lieutenant General Helter, who had obviously suffered a loss, took the reins of the horse and said, "We will add more food today!"
"Can't we negotiate well? Don't let people think that the commander only knows war..."
Watching the Lieutenant General's walking away, a negotiation assistant babbled in confusion, but was immediately slapped on the head by the adjutant. The assistant looked at the adjutant's smile and became even more confused.
"When have you ever seen a commander be so interested in fighting with others?" The adjutant lowered his voice, "Do you think this boring negotiation and childish quarrel can keep the commander in high spirits? This is not the case.
fight."
"Yes! The noise is too childish... Could it be!" The assistant's eyes lit up, "But why do you go back angrily every time?"
"This is the world of the commander. It is not something we can understand. There may be some insurmountable obstacles! After all, the Empire and the Alliance are hostile, but the status of the commander has to consider more things... Otherwise, the commander will definitely
He just picked up the princess and ran away."
"Speaking of which, it is easy to carry it," the assistant replied, "if the other party is not willing, it will be troublesome to put it down!"
"Otherwise, why can you only be an assistant instead of an adjutant?" The adjutant smiled mysteriously, "How can the chief quarrel with such a childish quarrel and the other party not cooperate, and the quarrels turn upside down every time? You are so stupid.
Never been curious?"
"Could it be that the other party also... doesn't know how to do it?"
"No shit! Let's go back to eat!" (To be continued)
