God saw Lauren standing in front of the gate of Marton River City, accompanied by Duke Andeff.
The city that was burning with smoke not long ago was now under their control. Master Masaphi followed Lauren. This old man held a shield with a snake-hunting gryphon painted on it. .
Prince Androff took the king's document from the attendant and handed it to Lauren.
The god saw Laurent and Master Masaphi, the two leaders of the Leydon people, in great spirits.
However, unlike Mr. Masafe, who looked happy, Laurent was surprisingly calm from beginning to end.
Even the well-informed Duke Androff could not help but admire the prince's determination.
"Lord Laurent, managing this city is not easy." Duke Androff said.
Lauren said nothing.
The foehn wind flew from the meadows, mixed with mud and leaves, and was unbridled. There were no mountains or forests to stop it.
Seeing that Laurent did not reply, Duke Andev took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty asked me to tell you privately that as long as you are willing to convert to our Lord and swear allegiance to the noble Him, then Your Majesty is willing to be you and yours." My protector and patron, after the war is won, you will be granted the title of Duke."
Lauren raised his eyes, turned around, and saw the proud king sitting on a white horse, standing on the hillside, while Camillian's army seemed to be preparing to retreat.
The third prince did not answer Duke Andev's words, but asked: "Your Excellency, the city of Marton River has just been captured. Doesn't the king have time to celebrate the victory for a few days?"
"It depends on your identity, Lord Laurent." Duke Androff said with profound meaning.
How could Lauren not understand what Duke Androff meant.
As long as Laurent leads the Redon people to convert and swear allegiance to King Camillian, the king will stay to assist them in guarding the city of Marton River.藲忿尛螞网
After all, once Lauren is loyal, the Marton River City and the Earldom of Myrne will belong to the Kingdom of Camillian, and the Griffin Clan will provide tax revenue and military service to the king for generations to come.
Mr. Masaphi next to Laurent heard what Duke Andeff meant, and he glared at the third prince impatiently.
The Leyton people have never been willing to grovel, and none of their ancestors has left such a tradition.
When they faced the Shaqipo people, the old enemy of the late king, and the Redonian butcher Gary Hatt, the major clans made a decisive decision to put aside their estrangements and even their feuds, and united to form a kingdom to resist foreign enemies, instead of surrendering their territory to the enemy. and slaves.
Laurent felt Master Masaphi’s gaze.
The third prince himself had no intention of showing weakness.
He looked directly at Duke Andev and simply said: "I can only swear to be friends with Camillian from generation to generation and never abandon my covenant with you."
Prince Androff was startled, and then smiled.
There is no doubt that Laurent's conditions did not satisfy the king. Prince Androff knew this all too well.
"Then the king has to rush back to organize the next attack, Lord Loren."
Prince Androff stared at the magnificent city gate. The arrows left by the siege were squeezed into the gaps between the stone bricks.
"How sure are you that you can completely incorporate this place into your country?"
"It may be difficult for us to defend this place alone." Laurent said bluntly.
Duke Andev glanced at Laurent and said, "Your Majesty does not want this place to fall into the hands of the Fordusans in vain."
Luo Lun heard something and immediately said: "You mean?"
"Your Majesty wants me to convey to you," Duke Andeff turned around and bowed to Lauren, "I, Andeff of Andeff, will personally lead the troops and stay to help you defend the city."
Laurent was immediately overjoyed. The fall of the iron ore-rich Marton River City was an unacceptable loss for the Kingdom of Verdusan and its affiliated kingdoms. The third prince had already thought of seizing the city the night before the attack. After entering the city, what kind of onslaught will they face?
"It's not without conditions." Soon, Lauren regained his composure.
"Sir Lauren, I have never met anyone of your age who is easier to communicate with than you. You know, most young people of your age are impulsive and think that they are always protected by the Lord."
Duke Anderf was stroking his long beard as he spoke, and then conveyed King Camillian's request:
"His Majesty asks you and your warriors to provide unconditional protection to us Camillians at the end of the war until his children return to the Lord.
Moreover, as the patron of all Camillian true believers, His Majesty also requires you not to demolish a church, let alone build a temple to his god.
In addition, 70% of the tax revenue of Marton River City for the next six years must be handed over to the royal family. His Majesty promises that it will be used for the royal family’s military supplies.
As for the iron mines, at least one iron mine in the city must belong to Your Majesty. The pig iron produced and the money derived from it will belong to Your Majesty. "
"In exchange for the Duke's garrison?" Laurent asked after listening to the harsh conditions.
"Yes, Lord Laurent." Duke Androff replied.
There is no doubt that such harsh conditions are forcing Lauren to choose to be loyal to King Camillian.
However, Luo Lun just showed a little wavering on his face,
Mr. Masaphi's eyes were like needles piercing Lauren.
It's like being reminded of Lauren's identity - you are a Laytonian.
It was as if Lord Masaphi represented all the Leydon people who had wandered to the southern land, reaffirming that they would never tolerate the tradition of groveling.
"I am willing to accept such conditions in exchange for your garrison." Luo Lun finally said solemnly.
As a Redonian, Laurent could not ignore the traditions of the Redonian people.
"I accept your decision." Duke Androff smiled.
The raised voice of Master Masaphi quietly lowered his voice. He puffed up his chest and inadvertently raised the war shield in his hand higher.
Prince Androff stepped aside slightly, leaving the empty city gate to Lauren.
"Hang it up, Laurent. Hang up your war shield and the Griffin clan's war shield." Master Masaphi said in a loud voice.
Lauren nodded solemnly, turned around, took the shield from Master Masaphi's hand, and pinned it on a spear.
On the meadow, the blood has dried up and will soon be buried in weeds. The scattered swamps are filled with blue-gray water. All kinds of arrows, swords, battle axes, spears, etc. on the ground have been Cleaned up by the military.
Foehn wind swept across the meadow, and the Garda warriors fell into a revelry because of their victory. They drank wine, ate meat, and loudly sang songs in praise of the warriors.
Laurent hung the war shield on the city gate.
This means that from now on, from the moment the war shield bathes in the foehn wind, the city of Marton River in the Kingdom of Fordusan is protected and ruled by Laurent, the leader of the Griffin clan.
