Reggie looked at the surrounding environment. Although he was ready for battle, this location was not suitable for infantry combat. The surrounding snow was deep, making it difficult for infantry and artillery to move, but the werewolf cavalry occupied a large area.
The big bargain had rushed to Reggie in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Benwolf and Reggie had fought before, and they knew how powerful guns and cannons were, so they did not dare to get too close. A big lord walked up to Reggie and shouted: "Master of Broken Snow City, why did you break in?"
The territory of the Benlang Kingdom!”
Judging from his appearance, this great lord should be considered a reasonable person.
Reggie shouted: "I didn't want to trespass on your territory. I received a document from the Bayer Kingdom and they ceded Golden Light City to me."
"Documentary?" the great lord frowned, "Do you want to trade a piece of paper for a city?"
"I don't think this is a good idea either." Reggie looked at Romell, who lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Golden Light City now belongs to the Wolf Kingdom," the big lord shouted. "If you want to fight, the Wolfmen are willing to fight with you. If you want peace, the Wolfmen will not invade your territory unless they receive a request from the Wolf King."
Order, otherwise I will never come close to Broken Snow City, or even close to the Lost Mountain!"
"Thank you very much for your kindness," Reggie grabbed Romell's collar, "There are some misunderstandings between the Bayer people and I, but these misunderstandings have nothing to do with you. Are you the master of Golden Light City? Can I tell you?
Name?"
The big lord responded: "My name is Magnev, and Golden Light City is my territory. I admire your character very much, but what you did today is very dishonorable. If you want to fight, please send me a letter of challenge."
Let’s fight fair and square, I am a subordinate of the White Wolf King, and unlike those dirty guys from the Gray Wolf Clan, I am willing to fight with decent people, and I am also willing to make friends with decent people!”
"Hope we can be friends!"
Reggie led the soldiers back to Broken Snow City. On the way, Romell said to Reggie: "Don't believe what Magnev said. The white wolf clan is even more filthy than the gray wolf clan."
Reggie touched Romell's bald head and whispered: "Before I beat you, you'd better stop talking. I may beat you to death at any time, and I'll whip you to death after that!"
After returning to Broken Snow City, Reggie really couldn't contain his anger. He beat Romell severely. While beating him, he cursed: "Shameless old bastard, how dare you cede to me a city that doesn't belong to you!"
"Golden Light City belongs to us, the shameless werewolves are plunderers!"
"What's the use of talking nonsense? You don't have any leverage, but you want to defraud me of 10 million pounds of grain!"
After the war between Reggie and Charlemagne, the defeated Charlemagne did not pay enough compensation to the Wolf Country and the Bayer Country. As compensation, Charlemagne ceded the Golden Light City to the Bayer Country, but completely ignored the Wolf Country.
country’s protests.
But after Sophia fell into a bitter battle, the Benlang Kingdom struck a knife from behind and snatched the Golden Light City from the Bayers in just two battles.
After losing Golden Light City, Sophia planned to cheat Reggie out of 10 million pounds of grain with nothing but two documents, but Reggie was almost fooled.
"Now go back to Bayer Country immediately and tell Sophia that the relationship between me and her is completely over. Let me never see her again, and I will never see you again!"
Romell wiped the blood on his face and sighed: "I am the prime minister of a country. Considering that I have been beaten so many times, give me at least 100,000 pounds of food."
Reggie suddenly admired this old man. To a certain extent, his actions were in line with Reggie's values. If it was really for something meaningful, giving up dignity under certain circumstances would not be a shameful choice.
"Okay, I'll give you 100,000 pounds of grain, take your people and leave, and you're never allowed to step into my territory again."
"In Silver Bear City, hundreds of people starve to death every day. The hungry people even eat their own children," Romell sobbed. "I know there are some misunderstandings between us, but these civilians have done nothing wrong.
, they have never plundered your territory, nor have they harmed your people."
"They have nothing to do with me!" Reggie looked at Romell indifferently, "Save your tears for your queen."
"I just want to give them a little more hope of living."
"If you don't get out, you won't even be able to get those 100,000 pounds of food."
Romell shook his head in frustration. Just when he was about to leave the castle, he suddenly turned around and said to Reggie: "What should I do in exchange for your help?"
Reggie thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "I want Silver Pine City. If your queen is willing to cede it to me, I will send you 10 million pounds of grain."
"But, that's the land of the Bayers..."
"Besides land, what other bargaining chips can you exchange?"
"The friendship between us..."
"Do you still want me to beat you again?"
Romell stood at the door for a long time, his face almost twisted with tangled emotions.
"Okay! I will inform Her Majesty the Queen of your request, but if we want to exchange for Silver Pine City, I'm afraid we will need more than 10 million pounds of grain."
What a greedy person, Reggie said patiently: "What else do you need?"
"We need weapons that can defeat the Frost Demon. You said that you defeated the Frost Demon on the Mountain of Death!"
Reggie pursed his lips. This was not an excessive request. In the long run, if Sophia could not resist the freezing demon, Shattered Snow City would be the next one to suffer.
But putting weapons in the hands of Sophia is also a dangerous thing. This capricious queen is likely to use Reggie's weapons to give Reggie a fatal blow.
"How can I trust you?" Reggie looked at Romell helplessly, "Don't talk to me about documents and contracts. I have suffered too much from you."
Romell was silent for a moment and gritted his teeth: "From Silver Pine City to Han Maple Fortress, there are four small towns in between. These four towns do not belong to any city, but together they are even larger than the territory of Silver Pine City.
What if the Queen is willing to give you all four towns?"
When helping Sophia retake Silverpine City, Reggie had fought in these four towns. He knew the value of these four towns, and such a bargaining chip was worth the risk.
"Eat dinner first, have a good sleep, and then hit the road tomorrow morning," Reggie said with a smile. "By the way, bring a cloud cotton robe as a gift from me to Her Majesty the Queen."
“Thank you for your generosity!”
Romell had a good meal, but he did not stay overnight in Suixue City. That night, he left the port in a warship. He first sailed on the sea for seven days and then trekked on land for four days. Finally, on the Lunar New Year,
On the eve of , we arrived at Silver Bear City, the royal capital of Bayer Kingdom.
New Year is the most important festival in Bayer Country, and even the only real festival. Even the poorest families have to find ways to get a meal of meat on New Year's Eve.
But today is an exception. Even the palace's granary has bottomed out. Sophia gave all the food to the soldiers, but this little food was of no use. Now her soldiers are eating the corpses of their companions on the top of the city. In the face of hunger,
, morality and human ethics seem worthless.
When she learned that Romell had only brought back 100,000 pounds of grain, Sophia was furious. She scolded Romell in the most vicious human language. She didn't care where the 100,000 pounds of grain came from.
Nor would she know that Romel had sacrificed all his dignity to get it from Reggie in a way that was close to begging.
"I don't care what method you use, you must get 10 million pounds of grain from Reggie!"
"Your Majesty, there is no way out," Romell whispered, "Reggie Victor has already made a price, he wants Silver Pine City."
"What did you say?" Sophia clenched her fists and came to Romell's side, "Louder, I didn't hear you!"
Romell took a deep breath and replied loudly: "He wants Silverpine City, and he also wants four towns outside Silverpine City. If we agree to his request, he will give us 10 million pounds of grain, and will also give us
We have enough weapons to defeat the Frost Demon!"
"You shameless idiot!" Sophia waved her fist fiercely. Romell closed his eyes and waited for the beating, but did not feel any pain because Salah rushed up to block the blow for him.
One punch.
Sophia looked at Salah in surprise: "What do you want to do?"
Salah turned around calmly and said to Sophia: "Your Majesty, this is not the Prime Minister's fault!"
Sophia sneered: "I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again!"
"This is not the Prime Minister's fault. He has done everything he can!" Salah showed no fear. "Agreeing to Reggie's conditions is our only choice!"
"It seems that you are also crazy!" Sophia gritted her teeth, "You actually want to sell the kingdom's land, you actually sold the dignity of the Bayer Kingdom for a little food!"
"We are not qualified to talk about dignity!" Salah pointed to the door and said, "Soldiers are eating the corpses of their companions, and civilians are eating their own children! We are still talking about dignity without shame, don't you think this is too stupid!
