Chapter 11 The Conversation Between Men

Sane did not make any move when he returned to the mansion. Reggie, who had found nothing, returned to the bedroom, steeling himself and waiting for news about Tell.

"Lord," Tyr finally came back, and Reggie waited for him for three hours.

"The woman did leave the city and headed for the enemy camp. The militiamen were very defensive, but the woman seemed to have magic. I watched her pass through the wall with my own eyes..."

"Very good, it's good to know that she is out of town." As a highly educated engineer, Reggie would not believe such nonsense. "Are you sure your whereabouts have not been exposed?"

"Don't worry, sir, she can't find me." Tyr was unusually confident in his tracking ability. "I went back to where she lived and waited until she came back."

"She's back?" Reggie said with a surprised look on his face, "How do you know she's definitely coming back?"

"This is my intuition, sir. From the time she left, I could feel that she would definitely come back tonight."

Reggie didn't care about Tyr's intuition, but two things were beyond his expectation. First, he didn't expect a woman to be able to get in and out of Broken Snow City so easily, and second, he didn't expect the prince to be so quick.

's response.

What answer will the prince give?

He probably accepted his surrender without hesitation.

"Tiel, take a rest first and find a reliable partner to take turns monitoring the woman's movements with you."

Taylor put his left hand on his right shoulder, performed a standard military salute, turned and left the bedroom.

Reggie opened his eyes and persisted until the moment Tyre disappeared, then fell on the bed and fell asleep.



At dawn the next day, a frustrated Sarn brought bad news.

"Let me surrender in the city? Does he want those crazy militiamen to kill me?" Reggie, who had just woken up, roared angrily, "I won't go to their camp! They will take off my clothes,

Shave my hair and cut me into pieces with a knife, Sannoffbich, if you still have any conscience, you won't deal with me in such a vicious way!"

Sann was also a little annoyed. After receiving the news from Sophia, he almost didn't sleep all night.

"Lord, I am not dealing with you, this is the condition they set! I know this is unacceptable, so I came to talk to you. I hope to fight for more power for you, but I also hope that you

I can make some concessions as a bargaining chip for me to negotiate with the other party."

Reggie thought for a long time and said: "I can destroy all the weapons. They can send people to check, but the number cannot exceed twenty. I can let their catapults advance another three hundred feet from the hillside. God, in the

In that place, his catapult can even directly attack my castle!"

"I believe the prince will not do that," Sann took out the parchment and said, "Please write another letter, and I will bring back the prince's news before sunset."

Reggie picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and said: "This is the last concession I can make, and Prince Sean must pardon me in public and canonize me as a viscount in public!"

The news was delivered to Sophia, and Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't even bother to take a second look.

"Either surrender in the city or in the prince's camp, there is no other choice!"

The anxious Sane and Sophia argued for a long time, but did not achieve any substantive changes. After lunch, he told Reggie the result. The furious Reggie drove Sane away and threatened to have sex with Sean.

The prince fought bloody battles to the end. He also threatened Sarn: "If I can't leave Broken Snow City alive, you won't be able to leave alive either! In the face of life and death, there is not so much reason to talk about."

Returning to the Administrative Officer's mansion, he soon discovered that the lord's guards appeared in front of the mansion. It seemed that Reggie was going to take action.

Some things can only be negotiated directly with the prince. Although this will offend the princess, at least he can save his own life.

Sarn wrote a letter and gave it to a waiter. The waiter disguised himself as a civilian and carefully climbed outside the city wall.

He escaped from the militiamen on the top of the city, but what he didn't know was that there was a guard watching him closely behind him.



Reggie was even more anxious than Thane, he was worried that Prince Sean might see through his plan.

What surprised him was not only the other party's tough attitude, but also the identity of the woman.

After he handed the second letter to Sarn, he immediately sent Tell to follow Sarn. Sarn went to the woman's residence. Unexpectedly, within an hour, Sarn brought back the news that the other party rejected him.

.

"Tiel, are you sure that woman never left her residence?"

"I am very sure, Lord," Tell said, "I followed the Administrative Officer according to your order. He went to the woman's place and only stayed for a while before leaving. During this period, no one came in or out."

Sarn went to find the woman to deliver the letter. According to the normal order of thinking, the woman should go out of the city to find the prince, hand the letter to the prince, and then bring back the prince's news.

But she refused Sarn's request without leaving her residence.

In an era before telephones and radio communications, it is difficult to imagine how they got in touch with the prince.

Homing pigeon? Crow? Or some other animal?

It shouldn't be animals, animals can't be that efficient.

The most likely scenario is that the woman made the decision directly.

She is not just a spy, as Thiel said, she is a big shot with decision-making power.

Maybe she should be captured and used to blackmail the prince.

But what if the prince was not threatened, but angered?

Hundreds of questions ran through his mind. This was the difficulty of decision-making. Just when Reggie was hesitant, Jiawen brought bad news again.

The soldiers became very irritable. They heard the news that the lord was about to surrender, and they wanted to fight the enemy to the death.

"This damn group..."

I really don’t know how to describe them, this group of lovely and stubborn soldiers.

The anxious Reggie cursed, took Erwin and ran to the city wall.



In the enemy's camp, Prince Sean received a message from the auxiliary minister.

"Let me push forward another three hundred feet!" Sean laughed loudly, "In that case, my black powder can attack any corner of Shattered Snow City."

"That's not all. Reggie Victor allowed us to send a team of twenty people to the city to inspect to confirm that all his weapons have been destroyed."

"Who cares about his weapons, just make sure he doesn't hide any stones!" Sean patted the auxiliary minister on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I don't trust others, so I can only help you this time."

"I am happy to serve you," the assistant minister lowered his head, "but as far as I know, your sister has rejected the other party's request."

Sean sneered and said: "It seems that some people can already make decisions for me."

The assistant minister whispered: "Maybe I shouldn't say more, but your highness, we have lost more than 130 infantry and 90 cavalry, and more than 20 people were killed by black powder."

Archer, if the casualties continue to increase, even if you finally capture Broken Snow City, I'm afraid you won't get the praise of His Majesty the King. By then, your sister will probably still..."

"I'm afraid that I will be scolded in front of my father," Sean asked someone to bring a quill and parchment. "Ignore that woman. The battlefield requires dialogue between men. Tell Reggie Victor that I

I am willing to accept his surrender. Before sunset tomorrow, I will hear the bells of Broken Snow City to remind him to wash his tongue. I will let him lick my boots and lick my horse's hooves clean."
