The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 885: Ransom (First)
“How dare you! ”
King Eagle did not wait for the knight to read the official letter and interrupted it brutally because it was simple. It was a ransom negotiation letter sent by Lester through the official channel of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, which sent King Eagle to the Greymouth Iron family to negotiate the ransom payment.
The absence of diplomatic channels between the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and the Grand Duchy of Grey Iron, coupled with the remoteness of the Principality of Grey Iron, prevents the direct sending of negotiating letters.
So Lister opened his brain hole and let King Eagle turn it over.
It was also a minor humiliation.
Dare to wage the Battle of Dragon Slaughter. Lester will not let go of this hatred easily. Disgust the King of Eagles first, wait for the pioneering order, then cut the meat no later.
“Your Majesty, this letter…” warned an aristocratic minister.
The King of Eagles stared into his eyes, bitten his teeth, and finally said indifferently: “Seal the official letter and send it to the Principality of Grey Iron... Gentlemen, you are the minister of the Kingdom, the Principality of Grey Iron has lost the Grey Iron Dragon because of the dragon slaughter war waged by the Kingdom, how can we solve this problem? ”
A moment later, a minister replied: "Your Majesty, the loss of the Grey Mouth Iron Dragon is a great loss to the Principality of Grey Mouth Iron, but the Duke of Pierrot cannot fail to redeem it, and the Kingdom should have come forward to preside over this ransom deal and even make up for the losses of the Grey Mouth Iron family. ”
Listen to him. The ransom should be paid for by the Kingdom of the Eagle.
However, the Minister turned his head: “The Kingdom should help the Greymouth Iron family to claim the Greymouth Iron Dragon, but the Duke of Piero was ambushed after the Battle of the Dragon, and the ransom had to be raised by the Greymouth Iron family itself. ”
“The Duke of Piero has been captured and the ransom must be paid, but have you ever wondered how the Grey Mouth Iron family would stand on their own if the Principality of Grey Mouth Iron lost its dragon as a reliance?” Another minister shook his head, "I thought the Grey Mouth Iron family might take an extreme attitude. ”
“What extreme attitude?” King Eagle seems to ask knowingly.
“As far as I know, the son of the Duke of Pierrot is thirty years old, in his prime age, suitable for the inheritance of the Grey Mouth Iron family, and perhaps he is unwilling to redeem his father… Even if he did, the Grey Mouth Iron family would not be able to bear the enormous ransom of a Duke. ”
Usually the captive Viscount, a Pokémon; the captive Count, two or three Pokémon; the captive Marquis, who needs a Pokémon; and the captive Duke, three or five Pokémon, are essential.
But unlike the Duke of Piero Greykou, he is the Duke of the Dragon Family, or the Greykou Iron Dragon, which produces iron ore in metal dragons. The family's wealth is too much higher than that of a duke without a seal, and the status is equal to that of a Grand Duke, who must at least pay the Dragon Pokémon as ransom.
Lester also suggested in his letter that the Dragon Pokémon must be the tone of the negotiations - he believed that the Principality of Grey Iron was richer than the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and that there would never be more than one or two Dragon Pokémon. Taking out one as ransom does not hurt the muscles, but rather “reduces the burden” on the family.
Without dragons, the family should no longer occupy so much resources, or sooner or later there will be trouble.
“Are you suggesting that the Greymouth Iron family might not pay the ransom and instead push the redemption of the Duke of Piero to the Kingdom?” King Eagle frowned.
“Yes, Your Majesty. The Duke of Pierrot is not a Dragon Knight. Now that the Greymouth Iron Dragon has been lost, the Duke of Pierrot, who lost the Dragon, will be held accountable within the Greymouth Iron Family, which is an irreparable mistake.” The Minister replied - nobility is not premature, what is affection compared to interest?
Besides, the Duke of Piero loses his dragon and loses his family's future.
I'm afraid his son expects the Duke of Piero to die soon.
Another minister said: "Your Majesty, if the Grey Mouth Iron family does not want to pay the ransom, will the Duke of Piero give up like this? ”
“It is inappropriate, Your Majesty, to redeem the Duke of Pierrot in any event. The battle of the dragon slaughter was waged because of the kingdom. If the Duke of Pierrot was abandoned, not everyone in the kingdom would feel the cold. The eagle kingdom is hundreds of years old, now there are countless embraces, the heart of the knight cannot be abandoned! ”
“Yeah, the Duke of Piero has to redeem it anyway. ”
“If the Grey Mouth Iron family is unwilling to redeem it, the Kingdom should redeem it, so that the Duke of Piero may turn his heart more towards the Kingdom. ”
The ministers spoke up and some argued that it was a private matter for the Principality of Grey Iron itself; others argued that the kingdom must come out, otherwise the followers would be chilled. Of course, more ministers believe that official correspondence should be sent to the Principality of Grey Iron before a decision is taken on the reaction of the other party.
King Eagle's temple burst and his heart was upset.
He is familiar with the son of the Duke of Piero, a standard nobleman, whose interests are always paramount - refusal to pay the ransom and to impose responsibility on the Kingdom of the Eagle - something that the other party can do absolutely and will do 100 per cent.
This way.
The ransom will have to be paid by the kingdom, otherwise the royal family will lose the loyalty of more followers - don't look at some ministers urging him to dump the pot on the Principality of Grey Iron, and once he has done so, these ministers promise to create the first thoughts of betrayal.
Half a mile later.
He coughed softly to stop the noisy quarrel in the lobby: “Send official letters first to clarify the attitude of the Grey Mouth Iron family. If Pitford really ignores Piero's death, then the Kingdom will negotiate to redeem Piero... the royal family will not abandon any loyal follower! ”
“Your Majesty, have mercy! ”
“Your Majesty is steadfast, we stand ready to fight for the royal family! ”
“The knight is honored, the Duke of Pierrot will be His Majesty's most loyal shield! ”
“May His Majesty have a long gun in his hand! ”
The ministers met and kissed their asses, expressing their loyalty to the King of the Eagle.
Therefore, the letter, written by Lester himself, was immediately carried by the Eagle Knight and quickly flew in the direction of the Principality of Grey Iron. Meanwhile, news of the Greymouth Iron Dragon being ridden by Lister was also passed on by the Eagle Knight to the Dragon Knight, who guarded the town.
The kingdom's internal affairs are generally administered by kings and ministers, but when it comes to information such as diplomacy and dragons, all dragon knights need to be consulted and executed.
At the end of the meeting, the ministers left, and King Eagle was still sitting on the gorgeous throne.
Haven't been up in a while.
Just look at the stone columns engraved with the Royal Eagle badge in the palace lobby, with emotional disturbances such as sadness, resentment, loss, hatred, etc.
“Alonso, you disappoint me repeatedly...”
“Flame Kingdom... Without suppressing the rise of Lester, the domination of Eagles, Iron Ridge, Blast Furnace Fort in the northeastern corner of the legendary continent will change heaven and earth... Perhaps Osborne and Haider will respond to my plan, and the presence of the Holy Dragon will inspire their desires! ”
Osborn Platinum, King of the Iron Ridge Kingdom.
Haider Gold Crown, King of the Blackburn Kingdom.
The King of the Eagle's eyes glistened with cold eyes and plotted plots and tricks. Without knowing anything about it, Lester is still busy searching for the Cannibal Dragon Elf.
