Chapter 640 Desert Negotiations
Shangguan Xue told Perseus all the information she knew, and Perseus was not a person who broke his word. He didn't let go, and allowed Shangguan's siblings to stay in Twilight City and follow Kino. If you continue to make meritorious service in the next war, you will be rewarded again at that time.

This result undoubtedly made Shangguan Xue heave a sigh of relief, now at least he doesn't have to worry about the issue of ownership, and can fully focus on the war.

This war involved three parties - the Kingdom of Dogland, the Far Eastern Dynasty, and the forces of the desert.

The Far East Dynasty wants to use the name of revenge for the emperor's grandson Ye Lingchen to raise troops to annex the desert and form a strategic suppression on the border of Doguland.

Dogrand hopes that the desert will maintain the status quo, that is, it will not be recovered by the Royal Army, nor will it be occupied by the Far Eastern Dynasty, but will exist as an independent force and become a buffer barrier for the defense line of the eastern border of Dogrand.

In this kind of game, the desert forces caught in the middle became the key, and whichever side they fell to would have a non-negligible impact on the other side's strategic goals.

Therefore, when Perseus decided to raise troops to meet him, he had already sent envoys to the desert in advance to invite the leader of the desert forces, the "Holy Lord of the Desert", to come and discuss.

On the fifth day after the kingdom's army entered Fenghuo Province, a desert mission entered the border of the kingdom and rushed to Dusk City where Perseus was located in the starry night.

The woman at the head of the mission is the Holy Lord of the Desert who has occupied the desert for many years and gathered all the nomadic tribes, Huerlit.

Huerlit is wearing a desert robe full of exotic styles. The top only covers the chest and neck, and the waist and abdomen are vaguely covered by light gauze. The curves are hazy, and the sleeves and skirts embroidered with gold patterns are extremely long. , the fiery red silk hood half covered the jade face, only those beautiful eyes full of determination could be seen.

Perseus and the leader of Huerlit did not bring too many people with them, only Bolton and Kino, and Huerlit only brought two tribes, Dadan, with them.

When several people met in the conference hall, the atmosphere seemed a bit delicate, especially Bolton and Huer Lite, the two fought in the desert last year and formed a blood feud, wishing to eat each other alive, and now they want to eat each other again. Sitting down calmly and discussing cooperation, this change is somewhat embarrassing.

The embarrassment didn't stop there. A dadan next to Huerlit stared at Kino, eyes full of hatred, and said viciously: "It's him! Kino van Helsing! He killed me! I lost my elder brother Shan Ule! That is my dear friend, brother and sister!"

Kino suddenly felt a little helpless, the world is big and small, and the bandit Dadan named "Dan Ule" he just came to Xilin Town and planned to kill had such a younger brother , and happened to meet at this meeting. What should I say, Yuanjialu is narrow?

Perseus's reaction was very calm. He should have expected such an indescribable situation a long time ago. He raised his hand, and the imperial guard brought up a box. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of precious jewels. He said flatly: " What happened in the past is already in the past, how about writing it off?"

That Dadan saw so many jewels, his eyes were straightened, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He forgot whether he was a big brother or not. However, he still had a sense of mastery and subordination, and he didn't make his own decisions. , but secretly looked at Huerlit, waiting for her reply.

Huerlit didn't look at the box of jewels, and said coldly: "If you want to use a box of jewels to resolve old and new hatreds, King Perseus is too hasty in thinking about things. Of course, I agree to temporarily turn over the past." article, because now there are more difficult things to deal with."

"Doguland and the Far East Dynasty started a war. On the surface, it was because of the death of the emperor's grandson, but secretly they were fighting for the important land of the desert, and the desert forces under my command are the targets of both of you. Who will you fall to? took the initiative.”

"I don't like to beat around the bush, so we might as well get straight to the point - you want the desert forces to side with Dogrand in the war, so here comes the question, what chips can you give me?"

Perseus said slowly: "I don't think I need to provide any bargaining chips, because the Thousand Miles of Desert itself is the bargaining chip - if Dogorand doesn't send troops, the desert will fall into the hands of the Far Eastern Dynasty, and you, the Lord of the Desert, will become a bereaved dog. Are you going to sit back and watch this happen?"

Huerlit narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a little sneer in her voice: "King Perseus is really old and slow-minded, he would take it for granted. Do you think you are the only one trying to win me over?"

Huerlit took out a silk brocade document on a jade scroll from her arms with her backhand, and spread it out on the table. This is indeed the imperial decree of the Far Eastern Dynasty!

Huer Lite sneered and said: "The Far Eastern Dynasty is obviously more sincere than you. Before you sent a messenger to the desert, the Far Eastern Emperor had ordered someone to send an imperial decree, promising that as long as I am willing to surrender to the court, I will be able to join the "Four-Clawed Golden Dragon" Robe", lands seal borders, and foreign lands seal kings. "

Before Perseus could speak, Bolton rolled his eyes and couldn't help cursing: "You stupid woman, can't you see that this is a tactic to delay the attack? This is an old routine in the Far East, promise first Feng Wang, recruit you to the imperial court, wait for the situation to stabilize, and then find a reason to depose you and give you to death. They are planning to sell you, and you are still proud of yourself here!"

Huer Lite didn't feel annoyed at all. She can become the Holy Lord of the Desert and gather so many tribes. Her judgment on the situation can be described as extremely sharp. How can she not see things that can be seen by an upright general like Bolton? come out?
However, Huerlit still deliberately sneered and said: "At least the court has shown me enough sincerity, how about you? Bring a box of jewels, who are you fooling?"

Perseus stretched out his hand, signaled to stop, and said silently: "Huerlit, Dougland and Damo have been in constant disputes before, but your power has always stood firm, which is enough to prove that you are a smart person."

"No matter how you resist, you can't deny that the desert was once the territory of Doguland, and the blood of the kingdom's people flows in your body. History has proved countless times that you would rather fight your former compatriots to death than Don't favor a foreign race whose heart must be different."

"This time the Far Eastern Dynasty's large-scale invasion is not only threatening your power, but also threatening the regime of Doguland. You seem to be able to mediate on both sides, but in fact you have no choice at all. You can only stand on the side of the kingdom, and it is inevitable. On the side of the kingdom."

When Perseus said this, he spread his hands and said in a very frank tone: "Of course, everyone is fighting on their own, and I don't want to just tell you some empty truths. It's unrealistic to ask you to help us for free. Yes. Let's be honest with each other—you set conditions, and I will meet them if they can be met."
