The Original Vampire
Chapter 579: Negotiation (Part 1)
"What do you think of the Troll Emperor's proposal for cooperation?"
In the study, Colin was still sitting in his original position, drinking coffee, but the person opposite him had changed from Okamoto to Bachelor of Dawn.
Maester Dawn drank the coffee in the cup, then frowned and fell into deep thought.
Colin didn't urge either, and waited patiently.
After not seeing him for a long time, Colin suddenly realized that Bachelor Dawn had a lot of white hair on his temples, a lot of haggard face, and thick dark circles under his eyes. At first glance, he lacked sleep for a long time and was overworked.
Actually this is not surprising.
Colin has been running around all this time, and the government affairs in the north are actually the responsibility of the Bachelor of Dawn, so hard work is inevitable.
However, Maester Dawn worked hard and even had a bit of fun, and never complained to Colin.
However, Colin was thinking about calling Aemon and Quincy from Ice Rock City to help Maester Dawn share some government affairs.
It is said to be sharing, but in fact it is also a separation of powers.
After all, Bachelor Dawn was born in the Scarlet Flames. Although he has never broken his oath, he has helped Colin a lot from the standpoint of the North, but Colin still feels that he should take precautions before it happens.
After all, people's ambitions often change with power.
At first, Cao Cao only wanted to be a loyal minister to revive the Han Dynasty, but after he unified the north, the expanding power made it impossible for him to respect Emperor Xian.
Therefore, Colin also wants to prevent similar things from happening to Master Dawn. This is actually for him, lest he face the temptation that he should not have.
I believe that with the intelligence of Bachelor Dawn, he can also understand Colin's thoughts.
"Lord Earl, His Majesty Okamoto is really sincere this time." Bachelor Dawn finally said, "First, I agreed to let Prince Gondwala stay in Winter City as a pledge, and then I sent a very blasphemous oil painting. With determination, I also agreed to give such favorable conditions..."
"So, do you think I should agree to his cooperation proposal?"
The Master Dawn shook his head and said, "It is precisely because the Troll Emperor's attitude is too sincere and the conditions are so good that I think there may be a problem."
"What's your reasoning?" Colin smiled and pointed at Bachelor of Dawn with his finger, teasing, "The more sincere the attitude of others, the more suspicious you will be?"
Bachelor Dawn also smiled and said, "Lord Earl, since you asked me to inquire, you must have doubts in your heart?"
Colin laughed, nodded candidly, and said, "That's right. I do have doubts. You know, when I proposed the conditions for exempting tariffs and allowing the Church of Glory to preach on the ice field in the sky, it can be said that the lion opened his mouth, but he didn't. Thinking of it, Okamoto actually agreed to do so."
Bachelor Dawn also had an expression of deep approval and said, "Yes. This is what surprised me too.
The reparations for the last war of the Troll Empire have not been settled yet, and the domestic economy has been seriously affected. This time, it is a reward of more than one million gold coins, and it is exempted from customs duties. Isn't Okamoto afraid of the Troll Empire? Has the economy completely collapsed?
And allow the Church of Glory to go to preach... Isn't he afraid of the angry White Wolf believers launching riots? "
Colin's fingers tugged lightly on the armrest of the seat, and asked, "So, you also think this is a trap?"
"90% yes." Bachelor Dawn nodded and asked again, "Lord Count, has the Troll Emperor made a specific plan to assassinate Squinn?"
"He did come up with a plan." Colin took a sip of coffee and continued, "He said that he would invite Vera and me to return to the Troll King City, and allow me to lead the blood cavalry army. Wait for the blood cavalry army to enter the Troll King smoothly. After the city, it is not difficult to launch a surprise attack and kill Squinn."
After listening to it quietly, Bachelor Dawn pondered: "It sounds like a very feasible solution. After two tragic defeats, the Troll Empire has already lost all its old bases, and it can't draw any decent army at this time.
As long as the blood cavalry army can successfully enter the Troll King City, let alone killing a Squeen, it is an easy task to completely destroy the political center of the Troll Empire. "
Colin looked at the bloodthirsty light flashing in the eyes of Maester Dwayne, and licked his lips involuntarily.
That's right, if the blood cavalry army can really enter the troll king city and swept away the troll high-level, maybe the troll empire will fall apart.
Valley </span> In this way, unless the troll clan can be reunited, they can no longer pose too much threat to the north.
Such a temptation, even though he knew it might be a trap, made Colin unable to resist the urge to take chestnuts out of the fire.
But soon, he forced himself to calm down.
Okamoto may be cowardly, but he is not stupid.
How could it be possible to present such an excellent opportunity to Colin, so that he could easily subvert the troll empire?
Colin took another sip of coffee and asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you think is the killer move of this trap?"
Bachelor Dawn pondered:
"The Troll Empire no longer has an army that can fight the Blood Riders, but don't forget, they still have a paladin!
So I guess that Okamoto wanted to use Squinn as bait to introduce you and the Duke into the Troll King City, and then let the paladin Prince Otto take action..."
Colin nodded expressionlessly, not surprised by this, perhaps thinking of this, he hesitated whether to accept the Troll Emperor's request.
"So... I should reject Okamoto?" Colin asked.
Maester Dawn did not answer immediately.
Because, he could hear the unwillingness from Colin's tone, and he also understood that since Colin invited him to discuss, he definitely wanted to know if there was a way to break this trap.
If it was just to see through the tricks of the Troll Emperor, Colin had already done it himself, and there was no need to invite Master Dawn to waste time.
Maester Dawn picked up the silver kettle on the desk, filled himself with a cup of coffee, and drank it again.
The bitter taste stimulated the tired nerves, and Bachelor Dawn's brain started to run fast again. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Colin didn't speak either, waiting quietly.
Exactly.
He did know that Okamoto had bad intentions for a long time, but he was really unwilling to simply refuse it like this.
With such a great opportunity, if the threat from the north can be completely resolved, then the strategic space in the north will be much more abundant all of a sudden.
He doesn't need to be distracted by looking north anymore, he can calmly plan a strategy to the east, or even to the south.
Moreover, ever since Bailucheng was "hearted by a black tiger" by Mr. Ho, Ke Lin has always been extremely afraid of the Sanctuary's combat power.
He is now a sixth-order knight, and he is stuck on the threshold of the sanctuary. Although he is invincible under the sanctuary, when he really faced the sanctuary, Colin found that he was almost incapable of resisting.
Colin didn't want to repeat what happened to Bailu City back then.
Therefore, he must become a paladin as soon as possible, or have a blood slave that rivals the strong in the sanctuary.
The paladin Otto Volkin may have regarded Colin as his hunting target, but Colin also regarded the troll paladin as his prey.
"Lord Earl, maybe we can change our minds." Finally, Bachelor Dawn spoke.
Colin was refreshed and said:
"Please speak quickly!"
