Chapter 221 What can I get
? The appearance of the elves caused a small ripple in the camp, which eventually calmed down.
After all, she was brought back by Hardy.
And Hadi's prestige in the army is extremely high.
Let alone bringing the elves back, even if they knew that Hardy was having an affair with Sissy Jeanne, they wouldn't find it strange at all. Instead, they would try their best to hide the matter.
After all, in the eyes of almost all the soldiers, Lady Jeanne and Hardy were so matched.
As for Madame Jeanne's unknown archbishop husband, they didn't agree.
After placing the elves, Hardy sat down and began to deal with military affairs.
Not long after, the messenger from New York City came down from the city wall in a hanging basket and came to Hardy to ask for an audience.
Hardy received him in his tent.
"Tea, please." Hardy was drinking tea. When he saw a guest coming, he naturally had to offer him a cup.
"Ah... thank you." The messenger felt a little flattered. He bent down slightly to take the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's really delicious."
This is what Philaire gave to Hadi not long ago. The tea tastes really good.
"Your Excellency Hardy, this time I have brought an order from the Senate." The messenger put down the cup in his hand and said: "They hope that you can withdraw the army five kilometers, open the city gate, and go to the Senate to speak in front of the Senate. The faces of all the senators prove their innocence, which means that you did not kill Blanche."
Hardy smiled: "Do you think it is possible?"
"Of course, this is an order on the surface." The interrogator continued: "This matter is up to you. You can find a few substitutes to solve the problem, we are just going through the motions. And Arianna Rommel wants to talk to you personally."
The same person was the messenger last time, and Hardy gave him a gold coin and asked him to Kamaz-Rommel's note was given to the Rommel family, and the man did so.
"Where to meet?"
The messenger subconsciously lowered his voice and said: "What Mr. Rommel means is that in order to show his sincerity, he is willing to disguise himself and come to visit you in person. The premise is that your army must open a city gate, otherwise he will not be able to get out. Come."
"This is easy to handle. I will ask Ximen's army to retreat in a moment." Hardy nodded.
If they want to talk, they can talk. It doesn't matter how they talk. Anyway, Hardy just wants to buy time.
He blocked New York City to buy time.
As for siege...impossible.
Such a big city needs at least two to three thousand defenders, and Hadi's about five thousand men cannot be defeated.
After the messenger finished delivering the message, he left happily.
Soon, the French army west of New York City retreated one kilometer.
But even so, the city gate did not dare to be opened at will.
In the evening, the city gate was finally raised, and after two people and two horses came out, it was quickly closed again.
The two men and two horses soon arrived outside the camp and were then taken into it by the soldiers.
Hardy sat in the handsome tent, looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him, and asked aloud: "I am Lord Hukaro Hardy, may I ask your two names."
"Arianna Rommel." The older one The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said.
"Tekli-Teutonic." The younger man smiled.
"Please sit down."
Hardy asked them to sit on the carpet and poured them a cup of tea.
Although the two were surprised by the taste of the tea, they also behaved calmly.
After they had taken two or three sips, Arianna said, "Sir Hardy, we are here just to talk to you."
"What to talk about and how to talk?" Hardy asked straightforwardly. "Your Excellency seems to have a lot of objections to our Council of Elders." Tekeli Teutonic looked at Hardy and said helplessly: "The Council of Elders just wants you to prove yourself and has no intention of harming you."
Hardy shook his head and said: "I came here with an army of five thousand, and you naturally won't and don't dare to harm me at will. If I really come here with only a few guards, then you will probably have that kind of mentality." "
No, no. Yes, we still want to save face." Tekli-Teutonic waved his hands vigorously.
Hardy smiled and was noncommittal.
Face is something you can only have if others give it to you. If they don't give it to you, that's it!
"Your Excellency Hardy, are you really unwilling to prove yourself?" Tekli Teutonic said: "The interrogator should have said that it is just a formality, and a substitute can be used. It will definitely not cause harm or danger to you."
Ha . Di smiled: "Self-proof? A cutscene? No matter if we are a substitute or not, as long as we prove ourselves, it means we are guilty. Madame Jeanne and I are indeed fine, but Francie's reputation is over, and the Jeanne family's Your reputation will also be ruined, you are so scheming!"
Seeing that Hardy was so young, the two of them originally wanted to bully him, but they were exposed directly, and they immediately felt embarrassed.
"You two, please go back." Hardy waved his hand.
"Your Excellency, we come with sincerity, please don't be impulsive." Arianna Rommel said urgently.
Hardy waved his hand and said seriously: "I can't see the sincerity, and there is also evil intention. Please come back, otherwise don't go back."
Looking at the angry Hardy, the two had no choice but to leave.
After the two left, Hardy showed a weird smile.
After the two returned, France's army once again blocked the west gate.
Hardy continued to handle military affairs, during which Madam Sissi also came over once. After the two got tired of each other for a while, she left again.
I have to say that the radiant Madam Sissi is charming and lovely.
Late at night, a man and a horse came out of the west gate, but Francis's army turned a blind eye.
Soon the man came to France's camp and met Hardy.
"Please drink tea, Your Excellency Rommel." Hardy placed another cup of tea in front of the other party and said with a smile: "During the day, please cooperate with me in my drama."
"It's okay, if it's not Trick - That guy Dun is here, why bother." Ariana shook her head and smiled: "Then we can talk about serious business."
Hardy nodded.
"You should know that in our Aijaka Empire, the Council of Elders holds all the power, but there are too many people in the Council of Elders, making it difficult to implement many government orders."
Hearing this, Hardy raised his eyebrows.
He vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say.
really!
Arianna continued: "I envy powerful countries like France and Kaldo, and I also hope that Ajiaka can have such a powerful royal family, instead of a group of flies sitting on it, arguing with each other. It's a waste of time and energy. I want Aijaka to become an empire in the true sense."
Hadi looked at Arianna, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and then asked: "There will be many elders, do you want How many families do you need to kill to do this?”
"Although there are many people, they are essentially broken down into eleven families, descendants, descendants, cousins, and cousins. The eleven families have divided up almost all the senatorial seats. I want to kill some and exile some. "
Arianna Rommel stared hard into Hardy's eyes, his body trembling slightly.
There is no way, this is a huge gamble.
But it's also the only chance.
Now... there are only two thousand defenders in New York City, and the city guards on the west gate are from Rommel's army.
As long as he wanted, the city would be undefended to France's army.
The air was stagnant, and Hardy lowered his head and thought for a long time.
Then he looked up and asked, "What can France gain, and what can I gain?"
