Chapter 207 The King

Chapter 207 The King
After saying hello to the guards guarding the city and telling them to be vigilant, Tang Zhao turned around and entered the city, ready to have a good chat with the envoys who came.

In fact, Tang Zhao's worries were a bit superfluous. The number of guards brought by the other party was large and the quality was also high. After approval, he began to replace the heavily attrition city defense army to carry out city defense work.

First, the ambassador stepped into the city hall as a base, and Tang Zhao watched the entire team carefully from a commanding height, which further strengthened his mind.

The equipment level of these people is a bit too high. They are all wearing heavy armor and equipped with long knives as backup weapons. They basically have mounts. Although most of them are just ordinary war horses, the cost of high-quality war horses is not low at all. , It can be called an expensive thing, especially those war horses are covered with shining makai, and their movements are still fast and coherent, obviously high-end goods.

A man stepped down from the dragon beast carriage at the end. He looked not young, and he was very luxuriously dressed, wearing a purple to reddish purple robe.

Inheriting the clothing habits of the Ostians, purple clothes are still a symbol of status, not to mention that not all minor nobles can use them. As far as Tang Zhao knows, there are only a few Nairn nobles who can use purple clothes.

Watching the other party approach the building, Tang Zhao slowly went downstairs, ready to formally meet the other party.
-
"Chengdi Mother Goddess Hong En, the Grand Duke of the entire Grand Duchy of Nairn and its territories, the Earl of Vincent, the Supreme Head of State, and the most honorable Lord of the Splendid Knights..."

The attendant, who looked funny to Tang Zhao, loudly announced the long title of the person in front of him, announcing the arrival of this distinguished person.

Tang Zhao did not expect that this time the king came in person.

He made a simple bowing ceremony. After all, he was not the other party's vassal, so there was no need to bow his knees. Then he raised his head and looked at the other party openly.

Among the people Tang Zhao had met before, the highest status was probably the dwarf supreme king candidate or the princess of a country, and the elf mage who healed him before probably counted, but this was the first time he saw a real king.

The appearance of the other party is actually in line with Tang Zhao's imagination of the existence of the king──middle-aged man with a beard and decent appearance. He looks quite a bit of royal majesty, and his strength should not be underestimated. It is said that the other party has at least a fifth-order mage The ability, no matter where you put it, you will be an outstanding talent.

Tang Zhao was actually not too impressed with the other party, because the governors under him were a little too active, which in his opinion was a sign of inability to restrain his subordinates. It was okay to do this in a small settlement, but when he grew up, he could only say that there were no rules. Not square.

At the same time, the king was also observing Tang Zhao. He waved his hand lightly, indicating that the people on the left and right can retreat. Before Tang Zhao issued an order, these troops belonging to Nairn left the hall, leaving only A small number of elves, they seem unrestrained, because no matter how powerful the human king is, they see it as a short-lived human being, and it is difficult to be seen seriously before they do something that makes them respect.

The king didn't seem to care about the existence of the elves, but Tang Zhao wisely let them all leave the scene, leaving only Tang Zhao and the king himself.

[I am really flattered to see His Majesty the King. 】

"I don't need the polite words. I've heard and said too much in my life." Tang Zhao was stopped by the other party: "I'm a quick-tempered person. I like to ask questions directly. I don't like probing and guessing, so Let me just say it straight, you are the lord of a territory, it is said that there are thousands of people of all races there, and they are quite harmonious, how did you do this, I want to hear your experience."

I didn't expect the other party to ask this kind of question, but after all, it doesn't involve any secrets, so Tang Zhao told the truth after thinking about it carefully.

[Emphasis on commonality, weakening differences, plus an external threat that is strong enough to unite everyone. If these conditions are met, I don’t think it is very difficult. After all, the various races are not bloodthirsty and warlike lunatics. Fundamental conflict of interest. 】

"It's the same, but have you ever considered that now you are acting as the glue, what will happen after you die? Fall apart or stay safe?"

[Frankly speaking, there is a high probability that it will be the former, and now they are just a combination that they have to carry out after facing pressure, just like you and the elves, but we have to go deeper, we haven't accumulated enough trust with each other, and there is no neutral one For the mediator, the result will definitely not be better. 】

"You are honest, but the longevity species also has the benefits of longevity. A generation has hundreds of years for you to adjust and adjust, and the number of people is much smaller. Humans can't do this. Everything is procrastinated, which is not efficient at all. .”

Tang Zhao listened silently and did not express his views.

After getting the answer from Tang Zhao, the king continued to ask for information related to the battle situation.

"Lynn is leading people to confront at the front line, is that so?"

【The battle is very fierce. The wounded and the dead will be transported here every day. The governor's army has lost a lot. 】

"That's it, it's such a headache..." He showed a talkativeness that didn't match his appearance: "In short, do you have the energy to go to the front line to see the situation? It's fine to have my people stationed here, and I will also send troops from my subordinates with you."

Tang Zhao is now a person who obeys orders. Lin En's position is lower than that of the king, so there is no need for him to resist Tang Zhao's order. He immediately agrees and prepares to leave Deep Water City.

"My royal engineer and military chief should really want to see you, but it's a pity that I left them in the royal capital to preside over the overall situation. After the war is over, I think we can talk about more in-depth cooperation, such as the dwarves. Nirn people like weapons and equipment and elf art specialties very much."

[This is no problem, it would be better to say that it is an honor. 】

……

Lena and the elves stayed in Waterdeep City, saying that they wanted to discuss some details of the agreement with the king. It stands to reason that such matters should be handled by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but the king of Nairn is also an unusual way.Ignored the rules generously and met elves from foreign countries.

As for Tang Zhao himself, he took [-] elite troops to Lin En's side that night, preparing to meet him.

When dispatching troops to the military camp, Tang Zhao also took the opportunity to learn some internal news about the Nairn people.

Originally, they planned to bypass Waterdeep City directly and take over from Lynn's troops in front. In name, they wanted to let them take the rest, but in fact, they wanted to prevent Lynn from continuing to make contributions. They wanted a balance between several governors, and no one had the strength to do so. It can't be too powerful and conspicuous. Now Lynn's position is a little subtle and too prominent.

But this proposal was directly rejected by the king, saying that he would wait until the end of the battle.Tang Zhao also silently kept this information in his heart, and then left Deep Water City with a large army.
