Chapter 49 Negotiation

Derrick accepted the mission, and he certainly knew the dangers and difficulties involved.

This so-called hero, in the eyes of the great men, might be a more valuable chess piece.

Putting it in the Holy Maitreya Province would just stop the counterattack of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

If it succeeds, of course everyone will be happy.

Failure is no big deal, it's better than just finding a waste.

Derek understood that he was willing to be this chess piece.

Arrogance and contempt just gave him the opportunity.

The so-called baron viscount, although it looks the most precious.

But what he cares about most is the position of the head of the Holy Maitreya Corps.

Perhaps this is a pity for cannon fodder, but for Derek, it is the most important.

Righteousness, reputation.

The Holy Maitreya Corps, in name, can operate in the entire province and can be stationed anywhere.

And it is far away in enemy territory, no one will give orders.

As for the limit, it is a joke.

"Sooner or later, you will regret it."

Derrick took over the new Saint Maitreya Legion with his men, and all the soldiers were good players drawn from the Second Legion.

In this regard, Count Pereira was very generous and did not get some militia to fill the numbers.

Although it was inevitable to plant private goods, it was much better than the ideal state.

Derek had power and naturally planted his confidants.

As for how to judge, open the panel and take a look. Those on it may not be 100% loyal, and those who are not on it are definitely not loyal enough.

While others were still preparing, Derek had completed the initial running-in and quickly set off.

During this period, the letter from the Ferreira family finally arrived. A group of cousins ​​came to seek refuge and brought news about Baron Ferreira.

"Granddaughter of Count Pereira?"

When Derek learned the news, he finally understood why Count Pereira was so generous.

After only thinking for a second, he agreed instantly.

What the hell love, it doesn't exist in this era.

As for the skinny civilians, he is even less likely to be interested.

In fact, even if political factors are not taken into account, his choice of wife is very narrow, unless his taste is special.

"Tell my father that I agree, but the marriage will be postponed for a while, at least until the Saint Maitreya Province is stable."

Derek replied to Baron Ferreira, and personally visited Count Pereira before leaving, expressing his intention implicitly.

Then, he took away a batch of military equipment and food.

This marriage is not a loss.

...

In the Saint Maitreya Province, the barbarians are taking action.

This time, the southward sneak attack is not difficult to win, but the difficulty is to keep the results.

In fact, with the current strength of the three southern countries, the Barbarian Kingdom will definitely be hung up and beaten.

When the military machine starts, it is not so easy to stop.

But the barbarians can't grow wretchedly.

With the expansion of population and strength, the barbarians need more trade and foreign resources.

Small-scale smuggling can't meet the needs of a country at all.

And the best way to gain recognition is, of course, to show off your muscles.

From the beginning, the Holy Cross Kingdom was the focus of the attack.

Because of smuggling, the corrupt church and nobles of the Holy Cross Kingdom will be the best business partners.

However, the two countries established diplomatic relations, and the kingdom, which was rigid and adhered to the name of holiness, would never agree easily.

The only thing that was unexpected was that the Locke Kingdom turned the tables.

So the plan had to be revised in a hurry.

According to the original plan, the barbarians should resist the first wave of attacks from the Holy Cross Kingdom by themselves, and transfer a large number of people and materials back to the country during the period.

Then in winter, the Holy Mile Province will be handed over to the Locke Kingdom.

Let the two countries that have completed the war mobilization bite each other.

The gap left in this way can greatly increase the strength of the Barbarian Kingdom and make it more confident.

But the plan changed and had to be changed.

The population and materials plundered were only one-tenth of what was imagined, and the loss of the army was not small at all.

And if the Locke Kingdom, which preserved its strength, entered the Holy Cross Kingdom, would it lead to a one-sided situation?

These are enough to give the Barbarian think tank a headache.

But they dare not delay any longer, otherwise it will lead to attacks from the two kingdoms, and the losses may be greater.

The frontline generals who knew about this plan complained about the incompetence of their companions in the Locke Kingdom while rushing to transport people.

However, they still underestimated Derek's speed. Just at the border of the Holy Cross Kingdom, the new Saint Maitreya Corps intercepted a team of barbarians.

"What are you doing?"

The barbarian officer was very nervous. He had never heard of the Saint Maitreya Corps, but the other side had more people than him.

Simon personally took the document attachments exchanged between the two countries and almost threw them directly in the other side's face.

"Half a month ago, the Saint Maitreya Province was handed over to our Locke Kingdom.

Now that the two countries have established diplomatic relations, do you want to break the covenant?"

The barbarian officer did not expect to encounter such a situation.

He replied with a sullen face: "I am just following orders. If there is any dispute, please go to our commander-in-chief."

"Haha!" Simon waved his hand: "Take him down."

What a shitty barbarian, he is not afraid of it.

It's just a stray dog ​​that he is chasing after.

The barbarian officer never thought of taking action. Although he brought his men with him, he was easily captured by the well-prepared soldiers of the Saint Maitreya Corps.

Even the guards who resisted were hacked to death in front of him.

"You...you are destroying the alliance between the two countries."

The barbarian officer was shocked and angry.

"I am cleaning up the slave-hunting team that is trafficking in human beings. There are witnesses and evidence. What else do you have to say?"

From a legal point of view, it is natural, but how can you say that?

The incident quickly became a big deal, and the barbarian army, which was busy transporting supplies, stopped at once.

Several nearby barbarian armies quickly approached, but the Holy Maitreya Corps was very tough and directly raised the double-headed dragon flag, and even arrested people in front of the thousand-man team.

When the barbarian commander arrived, the atmosphere was like a powder keg.

Derrick finally showed up and met with the barbarian commander Wilson.

"Viscount Derek, do you want to provoke a dispute between the two countries?"

As soon as the other party met, he showed his power.

But Derek was not a pushover, and he directly fought back.

"Then start a war. At worst, I will be stripped of my title."

Wilson's momentum was instantly suppressed. Of course, he didn't dare to start a war now, otherwise it would be a waste of effort.

"This is your fault. Let my people go first."

"No, you violated the covenant. According to the covenant just signed by the two countries, you have no right to touch any grass or tree in the Holy Maitreya Province, and you can only withdraw after our army officially hands over.

Now, I have caught some of your scums. You should thank me, or... is this the official order of your Barbarian Kingdom?"

Wilson certainly did not dare to admit that the covenant was just a piece of paper to wipe his ass, but that was for the strong party.

Coincidentally, the Barbarian Kingdom needed help from others, and Derek also had a psychological advantage and was not afraid of the barbarians at all.
