The Journey of the Demon Hunter
Chapter 1150
How can a mob leader understand politics.
Sdennis thought resentfully.
Saqiya is just a puppet of a witch!
Suddenly, Sdennis' eyes and Radovide's eyes met. The latter nodded nonchalantly.
Sdennis suddenly opened his eyes, and then looked away again. He lowered his head, as if suddenly interested in his boots
Saqiya seemed to be unaware of what was happening nearby, and her voice was righteous. "King Hensett died on the battlefield, but in the peace treaty signed by the group representing Kodwin and me, the seals of thirteen barons and 27 court knights were all stamped on it. The seals of all of them and The messengers can testify, or they would rather give up their reputation than deny the peace treaty? Then I will use my power to get back what should belong to the people of Frjan. Maybe your Majesty, you can ask the representative of Kodwin here, His badge imprint is also on the peace treaty. Ask him if he wants to deny the treaty's terms again and start a new war?"
With that said, Saqiya looked at the representative of Kodwin.
*****************************************
"What's his name?"
Zelin looked at the sheepskin rolls spread on the slate table, and his eyes quickly scanned the strange names.
"Baron Dart of Lutonsky, his territory is close to the Kesto Mountains. I investigated him. He has no real power, and it is precisely because of this that he can survive the purge of power in Hensett." Tishaya's Press your finger on an inconspicuous corner of the parchment. "He did not participate in the peace meeting in the city of Fjian. He arrived in the city of Lomugne four days ago. He spent most of the four days in the casino or flirted with the maid."
"But actually this is the smartest thing to do, everyone...cough cough." Kedinger covered his mouth and coughed twice. The detective's face was a little pale, and the black eye sockets outside his eye sockets made him look like a vampire. "The two political cleansings in Kodwin did not affect him. Hunsett would not care about a waste who only likes wine and women. Whether he is really waste or pretending to be, many are more than him. Power, status, and ambitions of the nobles have lost their rich fiefdoms on various crimes, and can only go to the frozen ground under the Dragon Mountains to dig potatoes. Therefore, this time the summit will be sent by the Kodwin Regency Council. Come to Lomune."
"Because no matter what he said at the summit, the noble alliance of Kodwin can announce that he has nothing to do with them, but is a small country lord, and Kodwin will not admit any promises he made in the summit. "Tishaya snorted coldly. "Ada Emin is right. The Kodwin people are like someone making pigs wear clothes and teaching them to walk on their hind legs."
Zelin looked at Tisaya suspiciously.
"What's the matter?" Tisaya raised her eyebrows. "I know Ada Emin. When I was an apprentice, she was a famous Blue Mountain sage. As a student, I will know every magic master as much as possible, including their famous aphorisms."
"This is not the time to discuss famous and prophecies, two." Curdin's fingers slid down the parchment. "I think the political situation of Kodwin should now be controlled by the Marquis of Mansfield of Akaled. He is the military commander of Akaled. As everyone knows, King Kodwin is the Grand Duke of Akaled. So this marquis is both the governor of Kodwin and the leader of the spy force."
"I remember him. During the last North-South war, he led the Kodwin army to invade Aden, and divided Aden with Marshal Menor Kochlen of Nilfgaard." Zelin nodded. "But regardless of whether they admit it or not, the most important thing is that this baron who may have been pretended to be real and hollowed out by alcohol, will he announce that he will recognize the establishment of the Warlock Order on behalf of Kodwin?"
"He will." Kedinger said confidently. "He will definitely. No matter what kind of person he is, he will not openly oppose the mainstream opinion. Your Excellency Kaduin put the signing of the treaty in the first process of the summit. This is good, but the purpose is too obvious. Someone will find a way to prevent the declaration from taking effect."
"This declaration has made a great concession to the kings, what else do they want?" Tisaya's voice remained calm, revealing a little dissatisfaction.
Curdin stretched out his finger and shook it. "As long as the king does not sign the document, the so-called newly born sorcerer order will always be an illegal organization in the north. No matter what Ladovide intends to do in Redania, other kingdoms have no reason to oppose, and the warlocks did not apply to other kingdoms. The conditions of asylum, his soldiers can catch people who want to arrest all over the world. Therefore, Ladovide, he is still delaying time."
"What good is it for him to delay?" Zelin asked rhetorically. "The representatives of Aden, Frjan, and Tamoria will not dance to his rhythm. It is impossible for this summit meeting to discuss for a whole day without reaching any conclusions. The situation in their country does not allow the king and the regent. Stay in the ancient city with nothing to do."
Whether it’s Tamoria, Aden or Fjian, when the domestic situation is unstable, the best result is to reach an agreement that is beneficial to you as soon as possible, and then return to the country with the agreement to stabilize the situation and frighten those who are ready to move. The enemy. Radovide wanted to drag him down in Lomugne, but he couldn't find a suitable ally. Maybe Baron Dart of Cordwin would be happy to leave the lifeless fief, but he could do nothing at the summit.
"So the form is very clear... heh heh! heh... damn, the doctor told me that breathing fresh air is good for my body, and I have been breathing in Lomugne for half a month without any effect. Quack!" After coughing several times, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. "Ladooved will not drag on. If, if we assume that he is using Nilfgard, Radania’s agents must have sources of intelligence in Nilfgard. He most likely knows that the empire is going to be in August. Send troops to the north. I have a few friends in Tritog’s Farmers’ Association. They told me that the Redanian army had purchased food four months earlier than before, and the amount was large. The regiment stationed at the Kerviel border is working Move to the southeast. Oh, some of my coachman friends told me that they all happened before I came to Lomugne."
"Well... Ladovide is already preparing for war."
"Therefore, it is impossible for Radania to leave Ladovide and sit in town. He will not rest assured that he will hand over the army to his generals. He will take command in person." Kording took a deep breath. "It will take at least a week to return from Lomune to Tritog. This is the amount of time wasted because of the turmoil that caused the blockage of the river."
"I understand." Zelin nodded. "Ladooved intends to resolve everything today!"

Chapter 1921: Bloody Prey
"Perhaps you can become a king, but don't be happy too early, woman. You have separated the most important part of Aden, but as the most important member of the front line against Nilfgaard, Aden must be compensated accordingly." Radovide looked at Sdennis, and the corner of his eye glanced at Ambassador Hillard. The latter closed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something. "During the last war, Aden lost the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and now he has lost the land along the Ponta River. As a king, we cannot support blatant secession, otherwise anyone will try We bite off a piece of meat."
Sdennis nodded in agreement. Natalis did not express any objection, and Baron Dart seemed to only nod his head and did not speak.
"Francisco from Baihua Valley granted permanent duty-free privileges to Aden's commodities, and the grain shipped from Baihua Valley to Fangebao was three stories lower than the price on the market." Sdennis said loudly. "So my father kindly agreed that she and her family were independent in the desolate and poor valley, and Aden’s finances and income were not compromised. My father was also worthy of his kindness and responsibility as a king, and I also It must be so. Otherwise, I am sorry for the crown on my head."
"I can give the same conditions. Aden's goods can circulate freely in Frjian. I can even sign a treaty with Prince Sdennis so that the residents of the two countries can communicate freely." Saqiya said confidently. "For the rest, if His Majesty Sdennis has any needs, he can come to Fojian to discuss with me personally. But he doesn't need to worry, Fojian promises not to threaten his throne."
"That's not enough." Sdennis held out a finger. "You have taken away the most important land of Adenian soldiers. Fujian must sign a defense agreement with Aden. If Aden-or my throne-is threatened, Fujian must send an army to help me quell the rebellion."
Radovide was expressionless, he looked at Sdennis and nodded in support.
He knew that Aden’s troops were Gureta and Esteberg, not the Upper Aden area. Everyone here knows it, but it doesn't matter. Sdennis wanted to get more benefits in the hands of Fujian, otherwise everyone in history will remember who on earth let Shang Aden out of the rule of Van Geborg. Unless Sdennis can prove that under his leadership, Aden will be stronger than when he had the upper Aden area in the past.
Seeing with satisfaction that Sdennis and Saqiya bargained, Ladovide put his right hand behind him. A man with a headscarf sitting in the noble’s gallery stood up. He pulled his collar, bent down, squeezed his body, squeezed past the surrounding audience, and walked to a side door behind him.
The path outside the side door was overgrown with weeds, and two beggars lay in the rubble in the ruins, basking in the sun. One of them was asleep with his face covered in a sack, while the other dropped his eyes, kneeling on the ground, holding both hands, waiting for passers-by's charity. A man wearing a headscarf strolled down the street, stopped for a few minutes in front of a beggar, dropped a Ducat, and walked away slowly.
The beggar hid Dukat in his arms. After a few minutes, he stood up, patted the dust on his body, and walked away quickly.
In the camp of the Knights of the Flame Rose, Yada put her long hair behind her head, weighed the weapons placed in front of her, and finally chose a handy dagger. The guard of the dagger was decorated with a poisonous snake. , As if this sword is the fang that will take the lives of others at any time.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, we should go!" Sir Kerm put on his helmet as he walked towards Yada's tent. The knight looked at the queen's tent with a little greedy gaze. Many people have heard the rumors about Yada and her disdain for traditional rules.
"What's the matter?" Yada turned her head, her brows filled with confusion. "Is anyone in Lomune making trouble? Need to send a knight? What are the guards in the city doing?"
"The messenger didn't say that in accordance with your majesty's order, we must go to the summit venue as soon as possible." Sir Kerm opened his hands. "Your Majesty must have reasons for your Majesty. If there is no danger, your Majesty cannot summon the Knights suddenly. Lomune is not safe. Your Highness. A few days ago, Nilfgaard’s special envoy, Hillard, was attacked by a monster near the sewer. The guards were all. The army was annihilated, but fortunately, he was rescued by a passing demon hunter. At that time, his majesty sent an envoy with a handwritten letter to express his condolences. Now his majesty is calling us to protect the ring arena, so as not to be caught after the sun goes west. Monster attack."
"Don't monsters appear in the evening?" Yada asked strangely.
"How come, Your Highness, you live in the palace all year round, you may not know much about this kind of thing. The monsters in the story wait until dark before coming out, but in fact, as long as the intensity of the sun declines, these filthy ones Things will crawl out of the nest and endanger the world." Kom explained. "But don't worry, your Royal Highness. We knights not only know how to fight cunning gangsters, but also how to fight these inhuman monsters."
"I understand too." Yada snorted and put on her helmet. "Assemble the staff and set off."
Sixty-three heavily armed flame rose knights, holding shields, holding spears, or carrying crossbows, lined up and walked out of the camp. Yada and Kemu walked in the forefront.
On an abandoned high tower, a shameless man stretched out his hands wearing leather gloves, struggling to climb up the most collapsed stairs, he walked up carefully against the wall, lest he stumbled and fell. The pattered gravel fell with his footsteps, and finally, he climbed to the top room of the tower, and then climbed along the cracks in the outer wall to the top of the tower, which was half collapsed.
Taking a deep breath, he took off the gloves that protected his fingers and took out the longbow that was behind him. Stroking the bowstring lightly, the bowstring is waxed to prevent it from losing its elasticity due to moisture. Take out the bow, then take out the arrow and place it at the foot.
He is the most famous hunter near Akalide, able to shoot down sparrows on branches on horseback. Until two weeks ago, several anonymous people with weapons found him. Tell him that next he only needs to hunt again, no longer need to have a skill, but can only stay in the remote village to live a life without a meal. Then he agreed, because the letter on the person who came to him was stamped with the king's seal. It is the dream of many people to be able to work for the king by his own ability.
The hunter took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, and stared at the street, looking for the most precious prey in his life.
The first thousand nine hundred and twenty-two chapters are pressing for time
"This matter is not over yet, everyone. The last time Francesca established the Kingdom of Dole Bretanna, it was because Hundred Flowers Valley originally belonged to the Elf Dominion, and they were bought for freedom. But Fujian is different, Fu Jian has been one of the indivisible territories of Aden since ancient times."
"No, Your Majesty Sdennis, you were wrong about this matter. Frogian itself belongs to the city of dwarves, but when the Adenian army arrived at the gate of Frogian City, the Mayor of Frogian chose to bow and bow to Fanger. Fort offered tributes and taxes. This is an act of coercion. In the hundreds of years of surrender, in addition to taking away a large amount of iron ore, gold and silver mines from Fujian, Vangeburg demanded Fujian in the name of paying taxes. Apart from tributing four hundred pieces of excellent armor and weapons to Van Geborg every year, Fogenco once received even a trace of assistance from Van Geborg when he was in danger?"
Saqiya and Steennis are arguing over specific items in the agreement.
Natalis declared that no one can trade the sovereignty of Pontal Fortress, and that the Temorian army will strictly guard the land in the Ponta Valley, including the floating port. Baron Dart took out a letter of refuge from Bennard Rolledo, the commander of the floating port garrison. The letter said to Bennard that because Foltest was unable to preside over government affairs, Tamoria would soon fall into chaos, so In order to protect the residents of the floating port, he asked the Kodwin army to enter the floating port to maintain order.
"Bannard is a traitor to Temoria, and the Temorian army has sentenced him to death according to the law and executed it. His letter cannot explain anything, otherwise a traitor in Akalide wrote a letter, It is hoped that Tamoria will take over Kodwin. Should the Tamorian army enter the territory of Kodwin, and should the soldiers of Kodwin lay down their weapon handover positions?"
"The owner of this letter is dead?" Baron Dart asked in surprise.
"You go to the floating port now, maybe you can still see his corpse that is not completely decomposed. According to the law, he will be hung outside the city until it becomes a skeleton." Natalis has a stern face and no face. Said with an expression. "There are two hundred heavily armed crossbowmen stationed in the floating port. They can leave any enemy who tries to force through the swamp in the swamp."
The kings were arguing over different regulations, the warlocks in the audience wiped their sweat lightly, and the people in the aristocratic auditorium listened to the conversations of the kings and whispered underneath. These nobles from the Union of Hidaris, Verden, and Humphus straighten their necks, wanting to hear every word and description in the words as much as possible, and try to figure out their relationship in different attitudes. After years of war, there are only these three small countries in the north. The others will either be destroyed or become vassals of other kingdoms. So at this summit, they had to come.
Suddenly, the side door was pushed open again.
