Chapter 261 (2/2)

The Northwest actually had such a grand city?!

Though the rumor of the ”three month build one city” spread quite quickly, but this world nevertheless had no television Whether it was true or not, it certainly left those that didn't witness it first hand with some doubts

And now that Haot the chance to see this city in person, he really had to gasp at the sight: ”Is this city really built in three months?”

”Humph … … I bet it wasn't actually three months Roland People are known to be deceitful”

While Hauarded by soldiers, it wasn't hard for hi from the people's eye

”Hmm … … If the people are like this then the leader shouldn't be too far off”

Hamuye didn't take it to heart over the civilian's attitude because hiswhat kind of attitude should be appropriate when ressive?

Finally, his convoy arrives in front of the Duke's castle with both sides of the street heavily blocked off by soldiers With his carriage stopping in front of the suspension bridge, Hauards before taking a closer look at the officials that careet him

Wearing his official outfit, Dadaneier caht up to introduce himself: ”Emissary, please come with me”

At the reception, Haoing to coreet him, they should at least send a deputy and not a simple leader of the city defense What, is he deliberately doing this to spite him?

Following Dadaneier into the castle, Haht into a luxurious reception roo forward tohis opponent that looked down at hi that welcomed him when he pushed the door open was…

A forth rightful looking fatty

When the two ave Ha like they were close friends

“What a pleasure to have an old friend co to visit! It's a shaood horse milk wine for entertainment!”

Ha After taking a step back, he ure out who the fatty was: “Oh … … Why isn't it General Longbotto! I heard you joined the Tulip faotten to know each other if not for our fights!”

Longbottoed Hamuye into the reception hall Once seated, Ha: ”May I knohere the Duke is?”

“Oh, our Duke's been busy since last night on a new set of ic equipment Therefore, he told hed wholeheartedly: ”Friend, you know our Duke is a ician so it's natural he would have odd habits Don't worry, we are old friends, feel free to speak your mind!”

Bri with displeasure, Haht as well go back to rest When the Duke is free, we’ll sit down and talk”

“Don’t rush, don’t rush!+” Longbottorinned and pulled out a document from inside his robe Wrinkled and smelly, it looked like it was drenched in shen placed atop of the table: ”His Dukeshi+p already mentioned this Despite the friction between the empire and the people of the prairie, the friendshi+p between our people is too deep to be tarnished by a siood friends, why not sit down and talk?”

”Now that'sat the cru smell, Hamuye frowned

“This is our Duke's first draft of the agreeet this littleproblems should turn into s Friend isn't supposed to care about these things”

“Agree the ireelance, he ibotto with me here!!”

”It's clearly written here in this “agreeator of the tension between both parties, the prairie must compensate the empire: 30,000 horses, 50,000 cattle, slaves 5,000, and the cost of rebuilding Anglia City…”

“Longbottoer: “It seeh to have our peace talk In that case, there's no reason for me to be here and endure this farce!”

Longbotto from his face: ”Hamuye, have you ever seenso many years in the Northwest?”

With that, he stood up: “I' as I was ordered My job is done If you must leave then I won't keep you… But the Duke did say Lord Ha into account the friendshi+p between both sides, I' isn't set in stone We can always talk things over… Why don't you take this with you and look it over tonight… Whatever you don't accept, you can take it up with the Duke when you two meet”

Hamuye's mind suddenly calms down … … ”Humph, this Duke Tulip looks to be in the pro-war faction with a strong stance… Whatever, a strong stance is also a otiation”

Think up to here, he instead started to laugh: ”Fine then, I'll keep this for now When tos over”

With that, Ha smile on his face: ”Then please excuse ; ht?”

Longbottohed: “Old friend, our Duke is a hospitable person and would never snub a friend! Arrangements are in place and will definitely please you!”

With that, this fatty personally led Hah the backdoor and into the ”specially prepared” resting location

Originally Hamuye could still endure the humiliation, but the second he laid his eyes on the Duke's so called “hospitality”, he nearly lost it!

“Longbottom! you……”

Longbottom continues on with his warhtiness of the prairieinside a building; therefore, we racked our brains out and cahest level in entertaining a guest is to ht at home Don't you think this method is perfect? Old friend, can it be you're not happy?”

Right before the two in the back of the castle grounds, a bunch of tents were erected on the plain hard ground Looking at how poorlyair…
