"Richard, you have won. You have conquered my capital. The winner can offer any conditions."

Listening to the voice of Nicholas II deliberately suppressing his anger, Richard did not mind. He stepped forward and said: "King Nichols, I only have one condition, and that is to take the large silver The mine is ceded to me. As long as you agree to this condition, I will not only return the occupied land, but also the looted population."

"Really?" Nickles II said solemnly.

"Swear in the honor of the Stuart family." Richard said. "Okay." Now that Richard had sworn with family honors, Nicholas II believed him. He nodded and said: "I agree to cede the large silver mines in the Sukenya region to your country, but In addition to the return of land and population that you just proposed, I have one more condition."

"Please tell me." Richard frowned slightly.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Nicholas II's impeccable behavior, for the sake of the overall situation, he still did not refuse. "After the silver mines are ceded to your country, I hope that your country can withdraw from the war and not intervene in the war between our country and the Rusino people."

Richard could clearly feel the unwillingness and resentment that Nicholas II concealed in his heart when he said this.

After thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Yes, respectable King Nickles, as you wish, I will not intervene in the war between the two countries."

...

At this time, Prince Du Bois, the commander-in-chief of the Russino army in the country of La Viejab, did not know that he was sold by Richard. He was besieging La Viebo with 2,900 soldiers under his command. Miegsburg, the capital of the country, was repelled from repeated attacks. Prince Du Bois had long been anxious. After he and his army invaded the country after the declaration of war, they were blocked outside the city of Migsburg. They did not dare to risk bypassing the city and marching north. Once this happens, the supply line is likely to be cut off, and his army may also be surrounded by Pravia's army. Therefore, he would never dare to take such a risk.

Looking at the city that had been besieged for several days, Prince Du Bois sighed deeply. He knew that the longer time passed, the more troops the Kingdom of Pravia could mobilize, and this would be beneficial to them. It is even more unfavorable. The only possibility that you can rely on is Winster's army who doesn't know how it is progressing.

However, soon he knew the progress of the Winsters.

A few days later, the news of the peace between the Kingdom of Winster and the Kingdom of Pravia followed in the footsteps of the messenger to the Rusino Kingdom Barracks outside Migsburg, and then the entire barracks was caused by an uproar.

"The Winsters betrayed us!"

"They swallowed the results, but let us face the enemy alone!"

"No! We should retreat. We can't beat the Pravia Kingdom alone!"

Questions, screams, and curses echoed in the barracks. Hearing the voices of the soldiers outside the camp, Du Bois looked ugly. The nobles and officers standing in front of him were also silent, afraid to speak, for fear of causing the kingdom. The anger of the heir.

However, this silence was quickly interrupted, and as an aristocrat broke in, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and then the faces of those aristocrats and officers showed relief.

The visitor was the left-wing commander of this army, and he was also the only earl of the Kingdom of Rusino, Mam Nidro.

When Mamm came, Du Bois's ugly face improved slightly, and he immediately asked: "Earl Mamm, I think you have heard the news that the Winsters have withdrawn from the war. Do you think we should next how to respond?"

"We should withdraw our troops, Your Royal Highness." Count Mam replied. Seeing Du Bois bewildered, he explained: "After the Winsters withdraw from the war, the Pravians will focus on In the war with us, if we were still in their homeland, we would most likely be surrounded by Pravia reinforcements, and there would only be a dead end by then."

"After returning to the country, we should organize a defense line to resist the counterattack of the Pravians. As long as they can't get the results, they will negotiate with us."

"But I'm really unwilling!" Prince Du Bois said bitterly. Richard's hand really caught him off guard. He also said that after the war, he divided up the output of silver mines with contributions. Richard asked for a share, but the other party would only refuse arbitrarily.

No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, Du Bois chose to follow the advice of Count Mam and ordered the entire army to retreat. However, in order to vent their hatred, the Rusino army set fire to the outer town of Megsburg before leaving, and will continue all the way. All the captured civilians were taken back to the country.

The defenders of Migsburg were in a disadvantaged position, so they could only stand on the wall and watch the invaders come and leave.

...

While the Pravia Kingdom and the Rusino Kingdom continued their war, Richard asked Magnus to return to the Osrita, and then he personally went to take over the large silver mine in the Sukenya. The silver mine is located at the bottom of a high mountain in the territory of Sukenya, and it is surrounded by dense forests, because of the medieval lords' ban (forests and beasts belong to the local lords, and no one can cut and hunt without the permission of the lords), Few people dare to go deep into this dense forest. If it weren't for an accidental discovery, the silver mine might continue to fall asleep.

When Richard arrived at the silver mine, it had been taken over by soldiers of the First Army (the army that bypassed the city of Tooth and marched southwest). The periphery of the silver mine was surrounded by a circle of wooden walls, with scattered pieces standing in it. The wooden towers are much higher than the wooden walls, and a few soldiers stand on each tower to guard the outside world.

The infrastructure of the silver mine is not perfect. In addition to the excavation and reinforcement of the mine, there is even no place to live. So when Richard arrived, he ordered the soldiers to cut down nearby trees to build barracks and other infrastructure.

What? Lord's ban? what is this? You want to use the laws of Pravia to slay my Winster's soldiers? After that, he left a group of dissatisfied heavy sergeants and a group of civilian archers to guard the silver mine, and then left with other troops. Suddenly there were nearly a thousand more soldiers, and the wooden wall surrounding the silver mine would naturally also expand outward, especially after the arrival of the miners, the available space in the log wall would be greatly reduced, and expansion became a necessity. .

However, this matter still has to be handled by the silver mine commander appointed by Richard. If he wants to sit on a mine, he will wisely build the expanded wall into a stronger stone wall.
