Lord Highlander

Moyun Ridge North Pass, Aegrod tribe camp.

According to reports from the guards, an aristocratic lord has come outside the northern city wall, and he has already been invited in... Chief Logan thought it was Lord Suldak.

Then I heard the guards say that the person who came was not Lord Suldak, nor any officer under Lord Suldak, but a noble lord who had never seen it before, and they still couldn't understand Egger Rhodes, both sides can not communicate.

It was only because they were from the Green Empire that they were allowed to enter the Beishankou camp.

Chief Logan hurriedly asked the guards to invite the lord to the meeting hall.

He thought that he had received a call-up order from Suldak a few days ago, and that the Aigrod tribe had sent out 50,000 troops to walk west along the roots of the northern foothills.

At this time, another noble lord is sent, maybe the plan has changed.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

The situation on the Moyunling Highlands is changing rapidly. For the Allied Forces of the Aegrod Tribe, it is okay to rely on the city wall of the North Mountain Pass to block the retreat of the evil spirit army, but if they want them to send troops to attack the evil spirit camp in Mount Horsens It's a little risky.

There are also two tribal chiefs who are on duty at night in the meeting hall. They are keeping watch in the meeting hall to deal with emergencies at night on the northern city wall.

However, there has been a bloody battle since the northern city wall was first built, and there has been no more war since then, and the evil spirits will not be active at night.

The Aigrod Tribal Alliance Army is guarding the North Mountain Pass, and they have not seen the evil ghost army at all in the recent period.

Before leaving, Suldak left behind sufficient military supplies. After the bloody battle last time, the patriarchs of the various tribes suddenly felt that those evil spirits, which were more terrifying than scourges, were not so scary anymore.

When Patriarch Logan saw Marquis Heller, he felt that this noble lord was more imposing than Lord Suldak.

No wonder the guards reported that the person who came was a lord.

The meeting hall is the place where the patriarchs of the tribal alliance usually discuss matters. It is located at the front of several rows of small buildings built behind the north city wall.

The square building with masonry structure is quite in the architectural style of the Tarapakan area. There are two side rooms on both sides of the main hall, and a ring made of square rocks at the main entrance. under the ashes.

A group of patriarchs gathered in the meeting hall, and they were chatting with the Marquis of Heller.

They came here to exchange something with the lord from the empire.

Warcraft materials are also good,

Or magic herbs,

Now the evil ghosts in the northern mountains at the foot of Moyunling North Mountain have almost disappeared, and the hunters in the tribe can go hunting in the northern mountains.

Some materials that are useless to them are all good things in the eyes of this group of imperial people. There are many materials that can be exchanged, such as linen cloth, copper and iron utensils, food, daily sundries for daily life, everything can be used .

But the aristocratic lord sat in the conference hall with a sullen face all the time. He occasionally said something in the imperial language and found that everyone couldn't understand it, so he fell silent.

The walls around the hall are lit with pine torches. These woods are soaked in pine oil and can burn for a long time after being lit.

The room was filled with a strong smell of pine oil. The dome of the room was so high that the smoke drifted out through the transom windows in the roof, and the hall was filled with smoke and smoke.

Chief Logan walked in from the outside, and all the chiefs stood up to greet him.

Marquis Heller saw Chief Logan coming in and knew that this was the chief of the aboriginal tribe, so he nodded to Chief Logan and asked, "Can you understand Imperial?"

"I can understand a little bit, and we can have a simple communication." Chief Logan looked at Marquis Valentine Heller, and smelled the unique smell of imperial nobles from him, the kind of arrogance that came out of his bones. No matter how you do it, it's hard to hide it.

Marquis Heller said lightly: "I am Marquis Valentin Heller, the lord of the tundra in the west of Moyunling."

He felt that speaking to an aboriginal aborigine in this way was already giving him the greatest respect.

"..."

What Patriarch Logan originally wanted to say suddenly became speechless.

What is the tundra lord in the west of Moyunling? Shouldn't the entire Moyunling be the territory of Lord Suldak?

If not... the so-called transfer of Moyun Ridge to the Aegrod tribe as promised by Lord Suldak would be empty talk.

But if... what Lord Suldak promised was false, then he used so many weapons and equipment and military supplies to help the Aigrod tribe form an army of more than 100,000, wouldn't it be like throwing stones at them? own feet?

At this moment, he really wanted to ask Marquis Heller, isn't the lord of the Moyunling Highland the Earl of Suldak?

Suddenly he realized that the person sitting in front of him turned out to be a marquis, and the lord of Suldak was heard to be just an earl, and the rank of nobility was one step lower.

Chief Logan wanted to know more about the situation, so he leaned forward and said, "I'm Logan, Chief Chief of the Kurman Tribe of the Aegrod Clan. What's your business here?"

The series of titles made Marquis Heller dizzy, but he still heard the last sentence clearly.

Marquis Heller said directly: "We also just learned that the Aegrod tribe built a wall at the northern mountain pass of Moyunling. I came here to borrow money from the Hegui tribe to leave Moyunling."

"Leaving Moyun Ridge?" Patriarch Logan's expression changed slightly.

Further north is the northern mountain range, which belongs to the residence of the Aegrod tribe. Chief Logan thinks that they have no reason to leave. Even if they leave, they should leave through the South Mountain Pass. Now they leave through the North Mountain Pass. This matter It's a little abnormal.

The tribal chiefs sitting around saw the big change in Chief Logan's face, and they all looked at Marquis Heller in astonishment, and the meeting hall became completely silent for a while.

Now is the time for the Aigrod tribe and the imperial army to jointly resist the evil ghost army. Why would the imperial army want to detour and leave Moyunling at this time?

And the chosen road will pass through the settlement of the Aegrod tribe...

...

The Marquis of Heller had already keenly sensed some subtle changes in the atmosphere in the chamber. He guessed that if he borrowed the road to leave Moyun Ridge, these tribal natives would most likely not rest assured that the imperial army would enter their territory.

He then explained: "At present, my army is being bitten by an army of evil spirits, and the reinforcements from Handanar County cannot arrive in time, so we can only prepare for the worst and choose to withdraw from the northern tundra... ..."

"However, if we can find a strong reinforcement to help me block the attack of the evil spirits, then my heavy armored infantry regiment can hold the land here and wait for the reinforcements to arrive."

Then he stated the purpose of his trip:

"If your tribe is willing to send troops to fight against the evil spirits with us, I think it will be very beneficial to both of us, and as long as you are willing to fight against the evil spirits with us, the promise I can make is to give some compensation in terms of military supplies .”

He thought that if Chief Logan refused his proposal to borrow the way to leave, then he would most likely agree to his second proposal.

...

"Do you want us to join forces to resist evil spirits?" asked Chief Logan.

His suspicions about the identity of the Marquis of Heller became heavier in his heart.

Hasn't the alliance contract between us been signed a long time ago?

You come here... If you directly say that you have encountered the siege of evil spirits, please send troops to break the siege. I am afraid that the Aegrod Alliance Army is already on the road at this moment.

But why did Marquis Heller make such a big circle?

The biggest possibility is that the Marquis of Heller didn't even know about the signing of the alliance contract between Lord Suldak and the Aegrod tribe.

"There is indeed such a plan."

"I think the Aigrod tribe built a city wall here to resist the evil spirit army, probably to guard against the evil spirit army's continued northward invasion, so joining us together to fight against the evil spirit army is absolutely beneficial. A bad thing."

"As long as your tribe can help us solve this crisis, I can promise to wait for our supplies to arrive here, and I am willing to give some of them to our future allies for free."

The doubts in the mind of Chief Logan are even bigger.

Aren't you the one who gave us the supplies we're using now?

There must be some problems between the Marquis of Valentine Heller and Lord Suldak, but there is no one to discuss with them at this time.

Chief Logan thought for a while, and then said to Marquis Haile: "This matter cannot be decided by me alone. I need to discuss it with other tribe chiefs."

"Come here, take Valentine Heller and his party to have a rest."

The last sentence was spoken by Chief Logan in the native language. Immediately, two guards walked in and asked Marquis Heller to leave the meeting hall.

...

Marquis Heller didn't expect that he didn't say what supplies to give away!

He was actually invited out by this group of natives.

The Marquis of Heller suppressed the anger in his heart, and the only one who dared to treat him like this in Handanal City... was the Grand Duke Newman.

Although they know that this kind of discussion is necessary, it is not a good thing to enter the second round of discussions so quickly, because they did not listen to their own conditions at all.

Perhaps these natives might have better results when they heard the conditions they offered.

Marquis Valentin Heller led a group of personal guards walking on the cobbled streets in the residential area behind the city wall, thinking about how to impress the chief of the indigenous tribe.

He thinks Chief Logan looks easy to talk to...

Maybe provide some weapons, armor and horses to these tribes, and they will happily agree.

As Marquis Heller was walking, he heard the guards around him whispering:

"Why do the buildings here look a bit like the style of our Tarapagan area..."

"That's right! If I hadn't been sure that I was on the Moyunling highlands, I would have thought I had returned to a small town in my hometown..."

"..."

Marquis Heller felt as if someone had punched him hard in the heart.
