Chapter 156 Prelude to the Storm
"Of course not!"
After saying this righteously, he faced the questioning gaze of the Lord of Liuyue City.
Anthony was a little embarrassed and said:
"Of course I can't say it's not the case at all! But I assure you, that goal is just incidental and dispensable!"
After hearing what Anthony said, the Lord of Liuyue City looked seriously and raised his big sword. He placed his tip down on the ground, and after thinking for a while, he reluctantly nodded in approval.
Then, he asked: "But how do you expect me to believe you? You guys fought all the way to the gate of Liuyue City in such a fierce manner, it doesn't look like they are here to negotiate!" Anthony smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this
, We can write the obligations that both parties need to fulfill into the contract. In this way, you don’t have to worry about me lying, right?" The Lord of Liuyue City thought for a while,
then nodded and said:
"Okay, but then you will recruit in the chaotic area. I think we still need to talk about the soldiers!"
Seeing that the negotiations had made initial "progress", Anthony pointed to the rain of arrows that were still flying in the distance and said:
"Please ask your subordinates to stop attacking first. The legion has not counterattacked. If the fight really breaks out later, it will be very troublesome to stop it. After all, the matters we negotiate cannot be put on the surface." ...Brand's side, he was originally in the logistics
department
. The "injured seat" of the army observes the overall situation.
However, I watched the soldiers of the Sixth Infantry Regiment and the bandits from Liuyue City confront each other outside the city.
With his eyes open, Anthony was also negotiating with the city lord of Liuyue City to "fight the match-fixing".
Looking at Liuyue City in the distance with its gates wide open.
Brand changed his mind and "set off" with Catherine.
But only two steps have been taken.
Yersin, who had been paying attention to Brand, also followed up openly.
After being discovered, without waiting for what Brand wanted to say, Yersin said first,
"Take me with you, I also want to go to Liuyue City to see more!"
After hearing what Yersen said, Brand felt helpless. .
There are times when Yersin’s perception is particularly acute!
He only glanced at the gate of Liuyue City for a few times, and now he guessed what he was going to do.
Although it is not a big problem to bring one more person, there are still some things that must be agreed upon first:
"I can take you there, but you can't compete with me for the spoils!"
After hearing what Brand said, Yersin's eyes brightened.
Based on his understanding of Brand, since Brand said so, there is a high probability that there is really something good!
Of course, Yersin had no intention of grabbing his brother's spoils.
After all, this time there was a high probability that he was just going around for a while without any contribution, and he was too embarrassed to share the spoils!
After seeing Yersin nod in approval, Brand said no more.
After leading the two of them to the blind spot of others' vision, the magic power in his body rushed towards the bracelet on his wrist that Celine had given him.
Then, waves of water surrounded the three of them.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared under the sunset.
At this time, the three people were in sight.
They are surrounded by a changing layer of transparent spherical partitions.
Brand reminded aloud: "Be careful not to stay too far away from me, otherwise the concealment effect will disappear!"
...
The sun has gradually set.
Although Anthony and the city lord of Liuyue City seemed to be still fighting.
The ground would shake from time to time.
But the bandits and the soldiers of the 6th Infantry Regiment had already retreated and started to light a fire to cook.
Not to mention that this time is not a good time to fight.
In addition, both sides are also psychologically unsure.
The Sixth Infantry Regiment lacks the powerful combat force of Brand.
The bandits suffered a huge defeat just yesterday.
Although compared with yesterday, the bandits had an extra Liuyue City to rely on.
But who knows if the terrifying mage will use some terrifying spell to directly raise the city wall?
——The fragile balance has been maintained for the time being.
...
Brand's side.
After driving the concealment barrier and taking Yersen and Catherine to avoid the bandits under the city, they walked into Liuyue City.
Walking on the streets of Liuyue City and looking at the various buildings around them, they couldn't help but be a little amazed.
If it weren't for the armed bandits who often walked around the streets, they seemed to be in a city in a certain kingdom.
You know, many cities in the Kaya Empire are just like this.
This time when he sneaked into Liuyue City, Brand mainly wanted to find out who the city lord of Liuyue City was "relying on", and also to find the treasures of Liuyue City.
So after briefly scanning the scenery in the city, Brand led the two of them towards the castle in the center of the city.
——If you want to say where there is treasure, the most likely place is undoubtedly the castle in the center of the city.
This castle is not very big and can only accommodate a few hundred people inside.
When they came to the edge of the castle and saw the materials used in the castle, Yersin was a little amazed at the wealth of the Lord of Liuyue City.
——The materials used to build this castle are all tougher stones!
Although it is not as good as the enchanted stone commonly used by domestic nobles to build castles, this type of material is considered to be of a medium level in many kingdoms.
After hearing Yersin's "popular science", Brand became even more excited about the purpose of the trip!
...
Anthony's side.
After the city lord of Liuyue City secretly gave the bandits of Liuyue City an order to temporarily stop attacking, they began to discuss the details of the contract.
What worries Anthony is that the progress of their negotiations is relatively slow.
The two had great differences regarding the next actions of the Kaya Empire's Sixth Infantry Regiment.
The city lord of Liuyue City expressed great dissatisfaction with Anthony's attempt to plunder the population.
Like a speaker, he used various theories to criticize the shamelessness of Antony's behavior.
When Anthony was forced to respond with "You are bandits, you rob caravans, you are the most shameless!"
The Lord of Liuyue City informed Anthony of his intention to establish a country on this land.
Then, he sighed again:
"I am indeed a bandit. I don't deny this, but bandits can also have dreams! Dreams can change a person, and dreams can bring order to this land..." After making so much sense, Anthony couldn't bear it
. Zhu interrupted and asked: "How can it be so easy to found a country? If nothing else, how do you solve the problem of gender balance?" The
Lord of Liuyue City smiled and stroked his beard and said: "I have already thought about this problem..."
Although it feels like Something was wrong, but Anthony still had the patience to continue "negotiating" with the Lord of Liuyue City!
...
During the fierce negotiation between Anthony and the city lord of Liuyue City.
The three Brands have already walked around the castle, but unfortunately, they have not gained much.
I found a lot of supplies, but as for treasure, I didn't see any.
Considering that the secret of the Lord of Liuyue City might be related to magic, Brand also specially sensed it in the castle, but did not sense any magic aura.
When he was looking a little worried, Yersen suddenly suggested:
"How about you use your eyes of insight to see where there are the most guards?
It's like the treasure house at home. Although there are no guards on the surface, there are many people secretly arranged.
Last time I passed by, a lot of people suddenly appeared, which shocked me!"
