Chapter 128 The Tragic Earl of Beach

In just one night, Sophia completely controlled Silver Pine City, including the army, officials, and all the food, gold coins and other resources in the city.

Sophia held an emergency meeting early in the morning, and Reggie was placed in the second seat after Sophia, but he chose another seat, one next to his old friend.

"Baron Sarnoffbich," Reggie said with a smile, "It's been a long time coming."

Sarn was very embarrassed. He had been avoiding Reggie since he came to Hanmaple Fortress, but today he couldn't avoid him no matter what.

Sophia could understand Sann's embarrassment. Although she was grateful to Reggie, she didn't want to embarrass Sann too much.

"Viscount Victor, Count Beech is an official of the Bayer Kingdom. I hope you can give him the respect he deserves."

"Of course I respect him very much. The Earl's status is higher than that of the Viscount, so I should respect him," Reggie smiled and patted Sarn on the shoulder. "I am really happy for him when I see my old friend flourish."

Before the meeting officially started, Reggie kept chatting with Sane.

"How's it going, Earl Beech, how are you doing in Bayer Country?"

"not bad."

"The salary they give you must be much higher than that of Shattering Snow City, right?"

"I don't need a salary. Soon I will have my own fiefdom."

"Sorry, I was rude. I miss your days as a political officer too much."

Sarn bit his lips and whispered: "I did betray you and also betrayed Suixue City, but if you want to retaliate against me, please choose a more appropriate time. If you want to humiliate me, please choose a time."

A more appropriate occasion. Now that you are an ally of Bayer Country, I think you should at least leave me some dignity and dignity."

"You misunderstood me, Earl Beech," Reggie whispered, "You are indeed the sinner of Shattering Snow City, but personally, I don't hate you that deeply, and you bought it with gold coins.

My own life, from a business perspective, you and I owe nothing to each other, so I really just want to catch up with you and have no other meaning."

"Thank you for your tolerance, Viscount Victor."

"Of course, this does not mean that the past has been wiped out. You still cannot step into my territory, including the future Hanfeng Fortress. Outside my territory, we are friends. On my territory, I will immediately

Hang you."

Sann gritted his teeth and said, "Please don't step into my territory. I swear I will be more cruel than you."

The meeting started. Knowing that Reggie hated meetings, Sophia tried to simplify the meeting process.

First, Salah reported the results.

Silverpine City's status in Bayer Kingdom is similar to that of Broken Snow City, and it is basically on the verge of being forgotten by the kingdom.

The entire city has a population of more than 3,000, but more than 5,000 soldiers are stationed there.

Reggie's previous inference was very accurate. As the king of Bayer, Sean's appeal was very terrifying. It took him less than ten days to once again accumulate an army. Now all of this army has fallen.

In Sophia's hands.

Counting Salah's remaining soldiers, the defenders of Golden Light City, and the troops from several surrounding towns, Sophia now barely has 10,000 troops.

This means that, on an order of magnitude basis, she already has the capital to fight against the Lion Country.

In addition, there are 200,000 pounds of food in Silver Pine City, which can sustain the army's consumption for half a month. Sophia is confident that the siege of Golden Light City can be lifted within half a month.

The main task now is to formulate tactics. This time, Sophia wants to listen to Reggie's opinion first.

The conference hall was filled with lords loyal to Sophia. In addition to Salah, there were also lords from surrounding towns and villages, and even the lord of Silver Pine City who had just been captured.

This is a war in Bayer Country, and Reggie is really embarrassed to speak out, but Sophia thinks that Reggie’s ideas should determine the direction of the meeting. If she could do this before, she wouldn’t have to lose nearly two thousand yuan in vain.

soldier.

After pondering for a long time, Reggie finally said: "Your Majesty the Queen, do you really want to use war to solve Golden Light City?"

Sophia looked at Reggie in surprise and asked, "Do you think there is any better way?"

"For example...diplomatic approach."

"Diplomatic channels?" Sophia asked in surprise, "Are you talking about diplomatic relations that use letters and negotiations?"

Reggie nodded: "Your understanding is very accurate, Her Majesty the Queen."

Sophia smiled, and many lords also laughed.

"What should I tell them?" Sophia asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Tell them that I like your Golden Light City very much, give it to me?"

Reggie shook his head and said, "It's a bit stiff to say give it away. You can try borrowing it."

"borrow?"

"Yes."

The scene was filled with laughter, but Salah did not laugh.

"Your Majesty, I think Viscount Victor's words are very reasonable," Salah said. "The Kingdom of Lane has already dispatched the Golden Lion Army. If we continue to fight hard, both sides will lose."

The lords were very dissatisfied with Salah's attitude, and the venue immediately became excited.

"No one is immune to death in a war. Although we lost a lot of troops, the Lion Country also suffered a big loss."

"Many of the Cambrian Knights died, but more than half of the Golden Lion Legion died as well."

"Do you want us to surrender to the weaklings of the Lion Kingdom?"

"Do you want us to be like a resentful woman, crying to them every day?"

"We still have soldiers and good men in our town, who are always willing to fight for the queen!"

It took Sophia a while to maintain order in the venue. Salah's reaction made Sophia a little confused. He had always regarded Reggie as his enemy, but today he supported Reggie's idea.

Is Reggie's idea correct?

But this is really ridiculous. The Lion Kingdom has been besieging Golden Light City for more than a month. Can they be made to retreat with just a few words?

"Viscount Victor, I believe you must have thought carefully before making your suggestion. Do you think the diplomatic method is likely to work?"

"It's difficult, but this is the best choice at the moment," Reggie tried his best to keep a gentle tone. He didn't want to be attacked by the lords. "Marquis Salah's words are very appropriate. Both sides will lose. This is the worst result.

!We shouldn’t fight with our allies and lose both sides. We should join forces with our allies to deal with the robbers. In my impression, the Lion Country should obey the Bayer Country, isn’t it?”

Reggie's talking skills improved, and he specifically pointed out the status between the two countries, which made the lords present feel proud.

"Those weaklings are like our slaves, they can do whatever we ask them to do!"

"You can ask them for food, you can ask them for gold coins, you can even ask them for a city!"

"We also let them fight our battles for us!"

"But they just want to fight for Sean..."

A lord said something inappropriate, and the scene fell silent instantly.

Sophia looked at Reggie and said, "He is right, the Lion Country is only willing to fight for Sean."

Before Reggie could speak, Salah spoke again: "The Kingdom of Ryan is not fighting for Sean, but for King Beyer."

Sophia looked at Salah and said: "But they think Sean is King Bair!"

Reggie said: "Then let them understand that you are the real King Bayer."

When Sophia looked at Salah, Reggie was talking.

When Sophia looked at Reggie, Salah was talking.

The tacit understanding between them made Sophia feel very strange.

But the atmosphere at the scene was ignited by Reggie. A lord stood up, drew his sword, and shouted: "Queen Bayer!"

All the lords echoed: "Queen Bayer! Queen Bayer!" The fanatical shouts were deafening.

Reggie didn't shout along. As an outsider, he must understand his identity.

He looked at Salah who was shouting and gave a friendly smile at the tacit cooperation just now.

Salah raised his sword and shouted while avoiding Reggie's eyes. He still didn't want to look at Reggie again.

After the atmosphere calmed down, Sophia, who was blushing, looked at Reggie and said, "Who do you think is more suitable to be the messenger?"

"I think we should find a minister who understands the government procedures and etiquette and customs of Lane Country and has good foreign affairs literacy to serve as the envoy."

Sophia nodded and said: "What do you think of Love Ralph? You have met him!"

"Yes, I have seen it. He is an excellent messenger, but I think there is a better candidate."

Reggie set his sights on Count Sarnoffbich.

Sann's clothes were instantly soaked with sweat.

"Viscount Victor, when did you become so vicious?" Sarn whispered, "You just said you would not retaliate against me."

Reggie responded in his ear: "I lied to you. I always wanted you to die again, and I was always vicious. You found out too late."
