Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 150 Eight Strong Conditions

A week later, a team escorted by dozens of knights and warriors appeared outside the city of Thrall. 【】

This is the first batch of guests from the outside since Saar received the Collingworth family for several weeks.

At present, the incidents of disguised horse thieves attacking business groups are intensifying, and the impact is getting bigger and bigger. The Colinworth family can hardly bear the pressure from all parties.

Viscount Mailer couldn't argue against the hard facts. It couldn't be said that the knights of the family and the soldiers of the territory guard suddenly went crazy and ran to kill horse thieves.

So the appearance of this group of visitors did not surprise Leon at all.

To be precise, he was waiting for the arrival of the other party.

What Leon didn't expect was that the leader of this team was Earl Astin, the chief executive of the Grai region!

Earl Astin came to Saar City as a mediator, and this was his first visit to New Saarland in person.

The earl's intentions are very clear. He hopes to calm down the situation. After all, the fight between Thrall and Colinworth and the scandal that broke out in the Colinworth family put the earl under great pressure. .

He also came to Sal City with Christina, the priestess of the temple undoubtedly came to support Leon, even though he did not ventilate beforehand, Leon still easily showed approval from the eyes of the swan priest and support means.

Catching traitors, catching thieves and catching stolen goods, Leon led the Thunder Beast Battalion and almost wiped out the so-called horse bandits. Not only did he break the predicament and the rumors against Thrall in one fell swoop, but he also gave the Colinworth family a heavy blow. one strike.

This is definitely good news for the Grai Church, which has always supported Leon. At least their investment in Thrall Land will not come to naught.

And through this incident, Leon also strongly demonstrated his ability to his supporters.

The business group was held in the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion.

Earl Astin was also very straightforward, straightforwardly asking Leon the conditions of the Colinworth family.

With 50 gold coins plus [-] premium wildebeests, the Collingworth family promised that there would be no further trade against the Thrall Territory in the future, allowing business groups and mercenaries going to the Thrall Territory to pass freely in their territory.

As a condition, the Collingworth family hopes that Leon will give up his appeal and release all the prisoners to calm the situation.

"That's not enough..." Leon said without hesitation: "Compared to Colinworth's despicable actions against Thrallland, if you just pay such a price and want to cover it up, Earl Astin, please forgive me Fa promises!"

joke!Leon is not so stupid to think that a mere 50 gold coins will turn into a big deal, and he doesn't want to sell Earl Astin's face either.

Leon's refusal made Earl Astin's expression a bit difficult, but this was also within his expectation.

Earl Astin didn't like what he was doing at all. He had a very bad impression of Leon. If it wasn't for Viscount Mailer's relationship and the pressure from the upper echelons of the province, he would definitely not be interested in taking this trip. .

"Baron Leon, I hope you can understand that if this matter really becomes a big deal, it may not be of any benefit to you..." He said with a straight face: "But I can listen to your thoughts, and I am willing to act as an impartial As a mediator between your two domains."

This is pure nonsense, and it is really going to make a big fuss, and Earl Astin himself will not be able to eat it.

Of course, Leon would not expose this point, he asked Qiangwei to bring a map and spread it on the table.

This is a large map of the Gray region. Territories such as Thrall Territory and Colinworth Territory are all clearly drawn on it. Leon took a quill and circled it on the Collingworth Territory. a place.

"I don't need gold coin wildebeest, and I don't need any promise from the Colinworth family, because I don't believe in their promise..." Leon showed the map in front of Earl Astin: "As long as the Colinworth family Ceded this piece of land to Thrall, and this matter is over!"

Ceded the territory!Earl Astin was startled, and his eyes immediately fell on the map.

The dark red ink drew a shocking figure on the map, one end of which was connected to the Thrall Territory, bloodyly cutting the northern territory of the Collingworth Territory!

Although the area of ​​this territory is only one-seventh of the territory of Collingworth or even less, it is adjacent to Ironforge in the north and the city of Grae in the east, so its location is very important.

Earl Astin instantly understood Leon's thoughts, just as Leon himself said, he didn't want to believe the promise of the Collingworth family at all, and asked the Collingworth family to give up a passage.

If this territory belongs to the Thrall Land, it will be impossible for the Collingworth family to try to repeat the same tricks in the Thrall Land in the future!

"It's impossible, no lord will cede his territory!" the earl couldn't help but shouted.

For a noble lord and his family, nothing is more important than his own territory, and the sacred and inviolable rules of the autonomous territory are also clearly recorded in the kingdom's legal code.

In the past, it was not that no lord was forced to cede his territory to Nai, but this was often the beginning of a family's decline, and once a cession was made, there would be a second one. Earl Astin really couldn't think of a reason why Viscount Mailer could agree to this condition.

"Then change to another lord..." Leon knocked on the table and said lightly: "If I submit an appeal to the Ugru Senate for arbitration, based on the evidence I have so far, I think the elders will definitely be willing to hold a council of elders to decide the fate of the Collingworth family."

"Earl Astin, since you are the mediator, please convey my request to Viscount Mailer. I regret that he cannot come in person."

Originally, this kind of negotiation could not be attended without the presence of Viscount Mailer, but Viscount Mailer hated Leon to the bone, and was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and become completely deadlocked, so he handed over the disposal to Earl Astin.

Leon's words hit Earl Astin's vitals, or to be precise, the lifeblood of the Collingworth family. Only the Council of Elders has the power to deprive a lord of his territory.

Once this matter got to the Council of Elders, Earl Astin could only stand aside.

It is foreseeable that in the end, Leon and Thrall will have absolutely no trouble as the victim, but the fate of the Collingworth family is unpredictable.

"This territory is not very big, I think Baron Leon's request is very reasonable..." Christina, who had been sitting beside the bustle, suddenly poked her head over and looked at the map and said, "Earl Astin, you can definitely let Colinworth The family thinks about it."

Only then did Earl Astin realize that there was still a temple watching over him, but Leon had brought the matter to Tormund, and there was High Priest Fearns in Ugru to support him.

Leon can be said to have the ability to pierce the sky!

Thinking of this, Earl Astin's mood immediately became much calmer, he nodded and said: "Okay, then I will convey Baron Leon's request to the Collingworth family, and they will make the final decision! "

Old friend, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that you really did a terrible job this time!The count thought silently in his heart.

Leon, it's really ruthless!

For the first time, Earl Astin felt jealous of Leon in his heart.

On that day, Earl Astin temporarily stayed in the city of Saar, and he didn't plan to go back until the matter was resolved.

Three days later, representatives of the Collingworth family arrived in Sal City.

After receiving the news from Earl Astin, Viscount Mailer finally vomited three mouthfuls of blood, and was so angry that he almost smashed all the things in his study to pieces, yelling that he would fight Leon to death.

But when the Viscount calmed down a bit, he sadly found that he had no choice. If the matter was not quickly subsided, if the Ugru Council of Elders really got into trouble, the price he would have to pay would probably be more than just such a territory.

After a night of painful thinking, Viscount Mailer finally made a decision and agreed to Leon's request.

And the person he sent to Thrall was his second son Zok, and only the Viscount himself understood the meaning it represented.

Under the auspices of Earl Astin, with Christina's priest as the co-witness, Leon and Zok formally signed the territory transfer agreement. From then on, an important territory in the Collingworth Territory was assigned to the Thrall Territory.

As a result, the Saarland obtained a fertile grassland area and the most important passage to the outside world. From then on, the Collingworth Territory could no longer conduct commercial trade with the Saarland Territory.

As a condition, Leon released all the captives and returned all the remains of the war dead, including their weapons and equipment. This storm of horse thieves officially came to an end.

It's just that for the Colinworth collar, their troubles are far from over. The business groups and mercenary unions that suffered losses also need to make compensation and negotiate.

But that was off with Leon.

After the calm, the merchants and mercenaries returned to Saar City one after another, and all the closed shops reopened, and Saar City quickly returned to its original bustle and bustle.

Just when Leon was about to leave for the Great Swamp, the business group he sent to the north to open up business routes more than a month ago returned smoothly!

The general manager of the merchant group, Ranieri, and [-] elite guards are all safe and sound. They successfully opened a northward passage in the northern part of the Saarland, not only entering the Western Border Province, but also arrived at the capital of the Western Border Province.

It's hard to describe the hardships of this journey back and forth in a few words, and I have lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot, but the whole person looks energetic and energetic, and his eyes reveal a confident look.

All the goods he brought were sold out, and he brought back a full 150 tigons for Thrall!
