Chapter 155: Combining vertical and horizontal lines

"Bang!" After hearing his subordinate's eager report, Philip, who was frowning, stood up as if he was twenty years younger in an instant. With his eyes shining, he took a step forward, grabbed the soldier's collar and asked, "Did you just say the truth?" "Yes... yes." The soldier said tremblingly with a look of fear on his face. : "The Grand Duke Victoria led the lords to the camp gate and set up a white flag." Without hesitation, Philip shook off the soldier and walked out of the tent with flying steps, followed by several knights who followed him. After being protected and going outside, I immediately saw the Grand Duke at the front and the white flags waving in the hands of the knights beside him!

"Hahaha, your Majesty Enos, your mercy and kindness make me burst with gratitude!" Philip suddenly shouted in ecstasy. But the next moment he returned to calmness, squinting his eyes and saying with a smile: "He can't surrender, it should be a peace or armistice... Victoria, your evaluation in my heart has gone up a notch." After saying this, Philip suddenly He straightened up, grabbed his sword, got on his horse without looking back, and said, "Tell Lex and tell him to catch up." After that, he rode away on his horse Juechen.

Not long after, the door to the military camp burst open. The leaders, Philip and Lex, were wearing luxurious leather coats and armor, and ran out with a large number of knights. "Are you going to surrender, my dear Grand Duke?" Lex, who had just arrived in front of him with the crown, said with a sarcastic expression. However, the Grand Duke had no intention of paying any attention to the child. He looked at the real leader of the war, Philippe, from beginning to end. But he saw Philip bending down on his horse very solemnly. He expressed his respect for the Grand Duke, and then said calmly: "Dear Your Excellency, do you want to negotiate for peace?"

"No, it's an armistice. Your Majesty the King." The Grand Duke replied calmly. But faced with such an answer, Phillip nodded naturally. He just glanced at General Mabulu who was being held hostage somewhat strangely, and then said: "Excuse me, Your Excellency the Grand Duke. In the current situation, you only need to unite with General Mabulu to surround us. It will not take more than ten days. , I can only kneel down in front of you and surrender. Why should we cease the war? This will not be of much benefit to you." Who knew that after hearing Philip's words, the Grand Duke suddenly laughed and said helplessly:' General Mabru also told me these words. Indeed, the current situation is indeed beneficial to us. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Lex, who was standing aside, immediately refused. He gently brushed the purple hair in front of his forehead, played with his beautiful face, and retorted very uncomfortablely: "Losing? We still have more than 20,000 people, and besides the Knights of Nubia, you, There are less than five thousand people left. How to fight us?" But the funny thing is, as soon as Lex finished speaking, a white snowflake fell gently on Lex's head like a mocking smile. On the gauntlets.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky. But I saw snowflakes falling one after another at this moment. Not long after, the land was covered with a layer of silver. "It seems that Enos is also in favor of ending this war." Philip said this with a sarcastic tone, ignoring Lex, who was sullen and silent. The Grand Duke pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "A protracted war will not do us any good. Let's cease the war. The Kingdom of Malta has no grudges against our Principality. After this is over, let this massacre be completely wiped out."

After listening to these words, Philip glanced at the gloomy General Mabulu with an understanding, nodded and said: "When our side was at a complete disadvantage, Grand Duke, you were able to ignore the past grudges and cease the war with us... You won me over. my respect and the friendship of the Kingdom of Malta. I hope that after the war is over, you will accept my personal gift. Three hundred loads of raw silk and twenty thousand gold coins. And five hundred swords and shields as an apology."

Hearing this, the Grand Duke knew that the matter had been settled, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Don't be so polite. I heard that you have several sons, and I also have a daughter. I believe that the two countries will form an alliance and maintain our friendship with each other. Even better. Of course, trade between the borders is naturally essential." "Hahahaha, Grand Duke, you are the cutest person I have ever seen!"

Ever since, this war that suddenly started and suddenly disappeared came to an end. Although many soldiers were lost, the national strength was greatly damaged. However, with the assistance of the overlord Engelland Empire and the interpersonal relationships with the Grand Duke in the empire, we were able to obtain some emergency supplies. Let the principality, which was caught off guard by the sudden cold winter, gradually settle down. On the other hand, Lex returned to Aixinche with his soldiers in anger. After General Mabulu returned to Nubia, the Nubian king immediately tore up the trade and alliance with the principality. Instead, he had a close relationship with King Lex of Aixinche, who had just suffered a defeat.

What’s funny is that when the Grand Duke formed an alliance with Malta, opened trade routes, and sent his daughter to the Kingdom of Malta, the friendship between the two countries suddenly became extremely strong. It actually took the form of besieging the Ai Xinzhe Kingdom. King Lex was secretly worried, and his connection with Nubia became closer.

These are all things for later, not long after the war ended. After the Grand Duke solemnly held the funeral of the Marquis of Camon, he elevated the son of the Marquis of Camon to the title of marquis and assumed the position of Minister of Finance. It can be regarded as fulfilling the last words of Marquis Camon. On the other hand, Alfred, the clone who returned to the fief, has a closer relationship with Olina, who has been through life and death together. He even blatantly entered and exited Olina's bedroom. The rumors below became more and more rampant. People secretly despised Alfred for abandoning his knightly honor.

And Donald rushed back to the Kingdom of Malta with the noble knights. Although after some encouragement, he gained the right to rule the kingdom in one fell swoop. However, when Philip hurried back to the kingdom at an unexpected speed, all his nobles rebelled, leaving only the doppelgänger Donald in a miserable state. Philip, with contempt on his face, sat on the throne and waved his hands like he was shooing away flies: "Put him in a prison and hang on the gallows one day. An idiot who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

Paladin decisively gave up his clone Donald. After cutting this line off. When he returned to Adley, he suddenly heard that the lovely bishop had died of illness in bed. There is no surprise, Paladin deeply understands this truth. If a large dose of lethal rain cannot poison an old man to death, then dark alchemy is a complete joke.

As expected, when Salil returned to the church, he heard that Bishop Adley had died of illness. He immediately wrote his resume and documents, and Paladin became the bishop of the diocese in a flash. After the news came, the other archbishops who were still worried about the people under their command had just received the news.
