The Amber Sword - 618. Chapter 618 Act Three Hundred and Forty Seven Under the Abyss VI

The invasion of the devil quickly became the most serious situation at the moment, and everyone knew the weight contained in the news.

Wood hoped that the princess would first return the prisoners of the Temple of Flame, and let the Konoria fleet at least recover a certain amount of combat power to deal with the next war with the devil. But Brando did not immediately respond to this request. Time is running out, but it does not mean that he needs to give up his previous results.

The battle is a little over, and both sides need to rest. It is impossible for the devil to appear in front of them immediately. These creatures from the river of sulfur will be hindered in their actions under heavy rain. Before that, even the worst estimate, he had more than ten hours to negotiate with the Cruz people. .

Brando’s request is very simple, but also a bit of a lion’s mouth.

The northern coalition forces should return all the prisoners belonging to the princess, which naturally includes the little prince.

Afterwards, the Temple of Flame will bear all the losses caused by this war, because Brando believes that the northern nobles initiated the war under their instigation-he does not care whether the truth is true or not.

This includes indemnities and trade compensation agreements.

Of course, the compensation is done privately, in order to take into account the face of the Cruz people. Brando can still meet this small requirement, after all, he only focuses on practical benefits.

The Trade Compensation Agreement is Brando’s compensation method, which is a trade preference of the Cruz Empire for the Eruin Empire on the surface. But in fact, there are many detailed conditions, including two important technology transactions.

The blueprint of the magical transmission device and the manufacturing technology of the empire’s Dreadnought Class 1 battleship.

This is simply blackmail.

Seeing these two conditions, the expression on Wood’s face was as black as a dark cloud off Ampersel, and he walked away without saying a word.

Then an envoy was sent to negotiate with Brando.

The envoy simply declared that if Brando did not cooperate, the Temple would abandon Eruin, and the Cruzes would lose face at best. But waiting for Eruin’s best end is also a serious injury, and the worst end is undoubtedly destroying the country.

These words would undoubtedly be a huge bomb if they were put in front of other Eruin nobles, even the princess would be shaken by it. But Brando only smiled after hearing this, and directly asked Mordeface to throw this guy out of the camp.

joke.

He knew the weakness of the temple well, the Cruz people probably didn’t just want to keep their face, but more importantly, the secret of the flames must never fall into the hands of all things. He knows that there are several immortal flames in the Cruz Empire. Once the secret of the flames is leaked, he is afraid that the empire will become another gateway from the river of sulfur to the surface world from now on.

Knowing this secret, Brando will naturally not compromise easily. But he was also uneasy. If the old fox Wood really dared to stand still, in the end Brando was afraid that he would really take the initiative to compromise.

Because only he, Antitina and Freya knew that Roman was still in the port of Amperisel.

And once the Cruz people have the initiative, I’m afraid Eruin will let them peel off their skin. Brando clenched his teeth for an hour and a half, and finally Wood couldn’t help but approached the door first. After all, the high priest didn’t have any news that was enough to make him feel at ease.

Brando breathed a sigh of relief when Wood came.

Cruz was softened.

But in a mere half an hour, Brando signed a temporary peace agreement with Wood, taking advantage of the momentum of the Cruz’s softness. Brando did not hesitate, in addition to the superficial agreement, the two sides signed a secret agreement temporarily.

The Temple of Flames privately acknowledged the right of the Corcovado royal family to pursue the crimes of usurping by the main leaders of the northern aristocracy in the future. This includes the right to dispose of the Grand Duke of Westfah, the Marquis of Baltar, the Earl of Vitogin, and the Marquis of Youxi.

However, this second provision did not come to light. First of all, now is not the time to shake the confidence of the northern nobles. Secondly, the chief priest has long discovered that the Grand Duke of Westfah, the Marquis of Baltar, the Count of Vitogin, and the Marquis of Youxi are missing. Presumably, Prince Haruze may also fall into the hands of all things. .

Therefore, even if the temple side wants to fulfill this provision, it has no such ability for the time being.

After fulfilling all the requirements, Brando naturally agreed in principle to return all the prisoners of the Flame in his hand-including the seven Templars, the White Wing Knights, and the other prisoners of the Konorian fleet.

After all, these people will have to play their role in the war next, which can be regarded as Brando’s coolies. Although the Cruz people don’t necessarily think so.

At the same time, in exchange for a second, more important agreement. Brando also backed down on the original technology transfer agreement and changed the latest magic transmission device to a drawing that was no more than ten years behind. The battleship manufacturing technology was also changed to the frigate manufacturing technology.

But even so, Brando still left a trap. Because his original target knight was exactly the design of the new frigate of the Cruz Empire, the Cruze’s battleship pursued firepower and armor, which was heavy and unpleasant. What he prefers is the new battleship of the wind elves, but the new frigate of the Cruz people is a design stolen from their old enemy Hazel, but it is extremely clever. After all, the Hazel is the world of Vonde. One of the best magic masters.

It is a pity that although Wood is a respected chief priest and the most talented senior in the Temple of Flame, he is not a technocrat. Most of the nobles in the Temple of Flame are unlikely to bring a master craftsman level. So when everyone didn’t know the trap inside, Brando naturally pitted them cleanly.

In the end, the two sides exchanged prisoners, and a preliminary settlement was reached. Brando didn’t intend to let the two armies that had killed the red eye only a few hours ago merge to fight the devil. This is undoubtedly a fantasy. Therefore, he simply asked the northern coalition forces to stop in Bunoan, while the princess’s army and Lantonilan’s army were stationed directly in the Mar Heights.

This proposal has also been approved by everyone, anyway, the northern nobles are not necessarily willing to stand in the same trench with Her Royal Highness.

Brando then blocked the news of the demon invasion, and did not let any rumors circulate among the ordinary soldiers, only telling them that there may be an alien army from Qiaogendigang invading Ampersel. Although it is frustrating to say that you have won a big battle before you have time to celebrate and return to the battle, it is better than immediately producing a large number of deserters.

He has seen similar scenes, abounding in the second and third Black Rose Wars. Both Ouding and the nobles of the royal party agree with this, and they know the virtues of their men.

Although the royal party parted ways with the princess earlier, the princess has already said that he has not blamed the past, and the two sides temporarily returned to a chariot. Due to the existence of Brando and Eco, Princess Griffin’s status has improved a lot.

But the morale of the soldiers is still a problem. Brando threw the problem to the Cruz people and asked Wood to persuade the aristocrats of the northern coalition to mobilize supplies from near Bunoan. At least let the troops under Lantonilan and Count Oudin do well. Celebrate a victory.

“As long as there is hot broth, ordinary soldiers can still be satisfied even in this spooky weather.” Before evening, Brando had begun to dispatch scouts to the periphery to obtain intelligence near the port, and Did that port fall into the hands of demons, and the number of demons?

However, considering that the inhabitants of the surface world know little about the underground world, Brando decided to go personally to find out near Ampersel. His adventurous action was naturally strongly opposed by Antitina, and even Princess Griffin disagreed with it, but he rejected all the arguments and decided to go.

But I didn’t expect that Her Royal Highness could not stop him from taking risks and insisted on staying with him. She ordered Overwell to stay to pacify the soldiers, then put on a knight uniform, mounted a war horse, and joined his team, and Earl Odin walked with her.

Brando was naturally unable to stop what the princess wanted to do. Fortunately, he hadn’t planned to do anything with the devil in the first place, he just investigated the situation on the front line, and he was able to let her temper.

Brando would naturally not be passionate and think that His Royal Highness is very concerned about him. Perhaps there are reasons for this. However, he saw a half-elf girl with rainy and bright silver eyes on several occasions, and he thought to himself that she must be unsatisfied. The identity of one’s own woman.

Indeed, she is actually far more suitable for the throne than her brother.

“I just don’t know if those cavemen will give us a night’s rest.” Earl Odin replied a little uneasy.

Brando can understand Odin’s uneasiness. Events such as the invasion of the devil can be large or small, and are happening on the surface world all the time. Events such as the evil warlock summoning a demon and making a contract with it, or occasionally a fierce beast from the river of sulfur escapes to the surface, these events are of no importance.

But once there is a situation like the present, and the devil has mastered one or more large portals, it is a terrible incident. Because the demons themselves also master the production technology of the portal, if the local lord does not react to quickly extinguish and eliminate the portal, the biological army in the bottom world will grow rapidly like a snowball.

There have been several incidents of annihilation of the country in history. The earliest example was in the year of the Golden Hoof. Later, the Glory Year happened again. The hapless Principality was very close to Eruin, near the Principality of Antobro.

“I’m afraid not,” Brando replied. Demons are not like Eruin’s dragon cavalry, they can also march well at night, but the heavy rain will also hinder their actions.

The hillside in the black pine forest became slippery and difficult to navigate under the heavy rain, and the sky and the earth became a boundless line at the end of the pole. Fortunately, Brando was very familiar with the terrain in this area. A group of people walked around a few low hills, and then a majestic peak appeared in their field of vision.

This is Brando’s goal.

Under the escort of the knight, he and the princess and Earl Odin climbed the highest mountain in the rain, and then looked down from the top of the mountain. The direction of the port was completely dark, which was the worst sign. one. He raised his head and a few dark clouds floated from the north. Then he discovered that they were all Harpy-they were close relatives of the Sirens, but were expelled during the’Kilano’ War and later hid in the underground world. middle.

Brando put down the telescope in his hand and couldn’t help taking a breath of cold air. He turned his head, and the princess’s face was pale. Sure enough, as Wood expected, there was already an army from Qiaogendigang in Port Amperexel.

The three of them were silent for a while.

“Those do not seem to be demons?” the princess asked.

Brando nodded. He glanced at the other two, but found that they didn’t seem to realize there was a problem. The demons are mixed with Qiao Gendigang’s army, which is not a good sign.

The inhabitants of the underground world are not only cavemen, but most of the surface dwellers are collectively referred to as cavemen. Few of them can distinguish the relationship between the devil and Qiao Gendigang’s other forces, so it is understandable to show such an attitude.

But Brando knew that Qiao Gendigang was actually a collective term. The bottom crisscrosses and connects many areas, such as the Mushroom Field and the Abyss of Eternal Darkness, and the River of Sulphur, where the devil lives, is actually the lowest layer of the inner world, isolated by the elemental borders of Vaughan. The first to find them was the dark elves, who built a city on the lava plain, Scorching Hot Tip. Due to the influence of the dark magic power, the city’s high-level nobles quickly degenerated and destroyed the seal of the elemental boundary. The demons broke out and the dark elf empire also perished.

After that, the dark elves retreated into the abyss of eternal darkness and held fast. The demons quickly occupied a piece of land and became one of the aborigines of the underground world. However, the underground residents are hostile to each other, and the Qiaogendigang Empire controlled by the black dragon is absolutely impossible to succumb to the devil. How did the two races mix together?

Brando remembers that the first time in history that Qiao Gendigang invaded the surface world would be pushed to the beginning of the Second Age, after the second Black Rose War. That is the fourth chapter of the game “Eternal Darkness”.

Is there any unknown change in the world underneath? No, Brando doesn’t think that his changing history has affected Qiao Gendigang so quickly. A sword of the earth is already a coincidence among coincidences.

In any case, the real problem still needs to be solved urgently.

“Mr. Brando, what should we do now?” Princess Griffin asked. There were so many harpies in the sky like a dark cloud. She never dreamed that it would be near Ampersel in just one day. Gather an army of this size. The number of demons on the ground can be imagined. This is only a force that Lantonilan’s army and the northern coalition cannot resist.

Brando also watched this scene and was silent for a moment.

“I can’t do anything.”

“Mr. Brando, can’t you…?” Princess Griffin could hardly speak.

Brando nodded, and the move of turning everything into one was indeed greatly out of his expectation. The demon army at the moment is almost more than the previous temple of flames and the northern coalition combined, and he has no ability to start the cycle of adversity heaven again in a short period of time.

Summoning the Temple of Life, the Trojan Horse of Adversity, and all the pre-cycles, he must accumulate elements for a long time. No more consideration for at least a week.

He pressed his lips tightly, and for a moment his mind was full of thoughts about the current situation.
