Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Diplomatic Disputes
"Your work really values luck. What is the name of Benny, the man with centipede scars on his face before? He wore my lucky rabbit feet and dug such a big treasure chest the next day at the Felstone Farm!"
To prove that his gift was valuable, the salesperson gestured to the shape of a box as tall as a barrel.
"Oh! Thank you! I understand!" The mercenaries hurriedly thanked. They were actually a little superstitious about doing this kind of work of licking blood from the knife. Many times, they would rather believe it than trust it. It is better to carry it than not!
Unconsciously, a relevance proposition between treasure and metaphysics began to spread within a small range of the Western Plagueland.
Some people say that if you use two front teeth to blacken your door, you will dig a treasure. Some people say that you must first step on your left foot to find the treasure. There is even a saying that you leave a hand without washing when taking a shower. Anyway, you have everything you say.
Just like the Gold Rush Age in the Americas, with a large number of mercenaries coming to the Western Plagueland, the economy of this area actually developed in a deformed way.
In March 21, in addition to the coronation and the development of the Western Plagueland, Vanessa spent the rest of her time doing one thing, that is, expanding the army.
The First Legion had always had a full 8,000 troops, which was the old army that was most loyal to Vanessa. She drew some elite troops to join the Second and Third Legions, and then filled some new recruits, which was considered to add all three main legions to the full 8,000 troops.
However, the Second Legion's cavalry regiment is still not enough, and now it can only be half of the cavalry and half of the infantry.
Vanessa appointed Vadmal, the commander of the Fourth Legion, as the supreme commander of the defense force of the King of Lordaeron, who will be responsible for the security of the capital from now on.
In order to distinguish the rest of the troops, the armor, boots and hand armor of these soldiers are black. When the soldiers are on duty in the city, they will wear thick wool and are specially dyed into golden robes, so they have obtained the common name of "golden robes" among citizens.
The Golden Robe is responsible for the security of the royal capital, and the number is maintained at the level of 4,000 people.
The Fifth and Sixth Legion were supplemented, with 1,500 new recruits each joining each, and the soldiers of both legions reached a scale of 7,000.
The Seventh Legion, transformed from the original Silver Dawn soldiers, proved its loyalty, replenishing one thousand soldiers, reaching the full eight thousand men.
At this point, Lordaeron's official soldiers reached 50,000.
If we count the semi-independent Eighth Legion and Navy of Duke Lavenhold, Lordaeron's soldiers would be nearly 60,000.
In early April, something turned Vanessa's eyes away from the military. She received Rona Crore, the daughter of Dalius Crore, and Liam Gremann, the prince of Gilnis, in the palace.
After talking to the two for a long time, Vanessa drove them away. The two children were not qualified to talk to her, Lord Lorderon, for your father!
In fact, the so-called "two children" are older than her, but it has nothing to do with age, it has something to do with position! She can be the first to be a senior now. If you have the ability, don't come. You can keep fighting behind closed doors!
After exploring it twice and sending some envoys to discuss specific defense measures, on April 9, 2021, the king of Gilnis, the old and stronger Gene Greymann, came to the capital of Lordaeron.
"Even Terenas II dared not order me like this!" The old man was dressed in military uniform, with heavy swords and muskets hanging around his waist. His hair was a bit gray and his expression was grim. As soon as the two sides met, the old man showed an aggressive edge, which was not consistent with the inherent rumors about him being cowardly and timid in the league.
He originally wanted to speak harder, but for some reason, he felt a little panicked when he looked at Vanessa's smile-like expression. He would never admit that he would be afraid of a junior who was not as old as his son, but the trembling feeling was still very clear.
He had no brains, otherwise he would not have ruled Gilnis for so many years, nor would he send a signal of peace to the rebel lord Dalius Crore on the premise that he had already gained an advantage. He wanted to end Gilnis' civil war, which was meaningless, especially after he heard that Lordaeron had recovered his country, he strengthened his determination to have a full truce.
Lordaeron and Gilnis were too close to each other. The two countries were never allies. They often fought wars before the opening of the Black Gate. After that, the relationship between the two countries was slightly better, but they were definitely not good-for-all.
"I am very frank, your Majesty King, you have some traits, very interesting traits."
Vanessa didn't say much, just pointed it lightly, then changed the topic. After the normal welcome ceremony, she even rode a horse with Gene Greymann around the city.
The next day, Dalius Crore, the great lord, as the leader of the rebel army, also arrived at the capital of Lordaeron. Today, eight months after the war between the two sides, they used Lordaeron as an intermediary to start a peace talk.
The great lord Dalius Crore would not have fallen to her because he had made several transactions with Vanessa, and he bowed to him. From then on, he was the leader of the horse and was the lackey of Lordaeron. He was a Gilness, and he would be the same in this life and the next life. It had nothing to do with whether he was a civil war or not. Even when he came to Lordaeron today, he would have the intention of forcing Vanessa to make concessions with moral and public opinion pressure.
The three parties closed the door and talked secretly. Gene Gremaine didn't say anything, but Dalius Crore, the former ally, fired at Vanessa first.
"I think Lordaeron should return the land of Silver Pine Forest to the Crore family."
Vanessa looked at the two of them strangely, and she quickly understood that the two of Gilness should have had some kind of communication, which is bullying her young and forcing her to be a ward.
After a few seconds of silence, she thought about several possible situations, and then she snorted softly: "When the undead was there, you hid behind the wall and shivered. Now the undead was destroyed by me, so you jumped out and said you want to recover the lost land? The great lord is really a veritable Gilnis tiger general!"
Dalius Crore was so angry that he clenched his fists: "Do you dare to humiliate me?"
"Yes, I'm just humiliating you, what's wrong? Where did you get the courage to ask Lordaeron for the Silver Pine Forest? We have defeated the undead and the Forgotten One, are you still afraid of you Gilness? Your supplies are about to be exhausted for so long in the civil war, right? How many soldiers are there on both sides? Is there 30,000? How much steel do you have? How much sulfur do you think it will take Lordaeron to destroy Gilness?!"
Vanessa slapped the table and stood up and scolded the two of them angrily.
The two people on the other side also stood up with the same hatred, and the trilateral talks became tense as soon as possible.
