Age of Apocalypse

Yes, what kind of important transaction is it that allows him to work day and night to volunteer and come forward when Count Iris's six or seven letters for help are ignored?

I don't believe it myself.

Faced with Count Iris's questions, probing eyes, and slight smile on his lips, Perth quickly calmed down, adjusted his mentality, and decided to take advantage of the situation.

But Perth also didn't want to suffer a loss in this game, and then smiled and said, "Your distinguished Earl, I admit that my purpose of coming here is not simple. But how do you know that I will not be helpful to you?

?

On the way back, I saw a lot of misfortunes and saw villages turned into scorched earth and deserted towns. At the same time, I also thought.

If the Tulip collar faced such a disaster, how could I quickly make a better and more acceptable decision for the residents who unfortunately lost their homes or even became homeless?

After all, rebuilding a territory requires a lot of money and time.

And if any residents or serfs rebel during this period, or are taken advantage of, it would be a disgrace to you as the lord, are you right?"

"This..." Count Iris, also known as Count Fit, couldn't help but start to hesitate again after hearing Perth's words, sitting on the chair a little at a loss.

After all, although he did not want to give up these people, if he did not give up part of it, the Iris Kingdom's finances at that time would not be able to bear the huge and heavy reconstruction work.

Moreover, many people there are supporters of his sister Elizabeth, and he will never allow such a thing to happen!

Sensing Count Iris's wavering, Perce continued to speak harder, "In addition, for territories that are in urgent need of restoring food supply after the war, vast farmland can attract many serfs and refugees.

After all, the most indispensable thing in any place is residents and serfs, what do you think? Smart Lord Iris."

But even so, Count Iris, who can resist Aragorn's aggression with his declining body, is obviously not a character that is easy to fool.

Although what Perth said was very reasonable, Count Iris still asked, "The brave and just Baron Perth, please tell me how you can guarantee your victory? And you haven't told me what your deal is.

.”

It has to be said that Count Iris experienced a sudden burst of blood, which also made Perth understand what Count Iris needs most. That is to expel Aragon's "slave-catching team" and solve the current territorial crisis.

Perth was not worried about this, and said confidently, "You know, our whereabouts are extremely confidential. In order not to be discovered by the enemy, we even pretended to be refugees all the way. So you don't have to worry, for Aragon's

I have a plan for the invasion, and I have already implemented it before entering the fortress. I think you will hear exciting news soon."

After saying that, he raised his wine glass to signal Count Iris and Elizabeth, and took a big sip of the crystal clear and mellow Jin Cui wine.

Count Iris also raised his glass in return. While he was looking forward to what kind of surprise Perth could bring him, he was also unsure of what Perth was going to do.

After a while, the count's butler came over happily and said something in Count Iris' ear.

The Earl of Iris couldn't help but look at Perth meaningfully, couldn't help laughing and said, "It's so exciting to have your Baron Perth. It's been a long time since I was so happy, haha!"

When Perth saw this, he was convinced.

Keith Lanchester, who was on the side, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He said in his heart that God had blessed him. Fortunately, the potion that Old Chuck gave to Mr. Perth worked.

It turned out that Perth had already made a plan before setting off. He even asked Jack Shorten to stay in the Iris Territory as a spy and pretend to be a refugee when he was caught, and asked Jack to promise the spy his wealth and the Tulip City Hall after he succeeded.

Quota for official recruitment.

At the same time, on the way here, he directed the accompanying knights to sprinkle the "turkey fat" obtained from Old Chuck into the forest where the poisonous scorpions were entrenched, killing as many poisonous scorpions as possible or making them unconscious.

Crush the corpse of the poisonous scorpion, allowing Jack Shorten's inner spirit to poison the Aragonese's diet at the right opportunity. Although these toxins cannot kill the strong knights, they can also weaken them and reduce their weight.

Fighting strength, even chaos.

But even though it was exciting news, Count Iris's deteriorating body prevented him from getting too excited. He gradually calmed down and the abnormal flush on his face gradually subsided.

Then he took a sip of Jincuijiu, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I never expected that Felusius III could be so heartless and crazy.

But thanks to you, the clever Baron Perth, you actually used the scorpion's poison to put into the diet of Aragon's "slave-catching team" to make them disorderly.

Haha, I wonder if Ferucius III and his "aragonese fools" know the story of "the farmer and the snake"."

Even Elizabeth had to say that this was a brilliant strategy, and there was nothing more satisfying than letting the enemy reap the consequences.

After several glasses of wine, Keyes, receiving a meaningful look from Perth, put down his glass and said, "I think tonight, we can launch a night attack on the Aragonese slave-catching team."

The slightly tipsy Earl of Iris was a little dizzy in the face of the crisis that was about to be solved. He looked at Perth and said, "Thank God, those stupid and vulgar mercenaries are simply incomparable to you!"

So now, please tell me what you need from me?"

Perth knows that the real negotiations and games have finally begun!

So he did not directly state his purpose, but continued to lay out his plans and increase his leverage. He also said, "In fact, you know very well that the homeless refugees after the war are extremely unstable factors for the weak territory.

.

Moreover, when you shrink your people and most of your resources into the "Mountain Fortress", I think you know very well what kind of destruction the forest land where the Iris family has raised iris doves for generations will face. And I just helped you solve the problem of the forest land.

Destroying it can even save a lot of trouble and investment in manpower and material resources in subsequent forest reconstruction.

Of course, I never doubt that you still have a large number of iris doves in your hands. After all, the Fusimela family is a noble family that has been associated with iris doves for generations.

But we all know that without a forest habitat, the iris bird would not be able to continue to secrete the saliva that nurtures the marigold iris flower."

The Earl of Iris naturally knows this. Even if there are no iris birds that live in the forest, they will become violent and secrete venom because they have nowhere to fly!

But in the face of Perth's talk, the weak Earl of Iris obviously saw Perth's intention, but he was unwilling to admit it.

Instead, he pretended not to care and said, "But that didn't happen, did it?"

Upon hearing this rather shameful tone, Keith felt a little angry and immediately wanted to question Count Iris about his rogue behavior.

But when Perth saw this, he stopped the angry Case with his eyes. He also said indifferently, "I don't know that turkey fat is not enough to kill all venomous scorpions."

But for the sake of our friendship, I have asked my knight to hide the remaining unconscious and disgusting poisonous scorpions while the enemy is weak.

But I can’t guarantee whether they have been negligent. After all, no one can say whether things will happen in the future. Are you right?”

The implication was that he, Perth, could not guarantee that those poisonous scorpions would not run around. Especially Perth spoke in a nonchalant tone and nonchalant manner, but this unintentionally irritated Count Iris even more.

I just heard him say angrily, "What do you mean?! Don't forget, this is Marigold Iris' Panshan Castle!"

Elizabeth almost laughed out loud, but seeing Count Iris' furious look, she quickly stopped her and said, "That's enough, Feit Fusimera!"

And turned to Perth and said, "Baron Perth, why don't you tell us what kind of deal you want to make with us besides the reward?"

Elizabeth, who was wise and capable at this time, looked absolutely beautiful and charming, Perth thought to herself.

And beauties, especially smart beauties, always have some privileges. So after hearing her words, Perth finally revealed his purpose, "I heard that in the Marigold Iris Castle, the family treasure of Fusi Mela is hidden.

In the room, there is a collection of the fallen "golden feathers" of the iris-dove king.

Of course, if your lordship is willing to give up your love, and on this basis, you can give me some seeds of marigold iris, a marigold elf bug, and a pair of iris doves, I will not only help you deal with most of the useless things.

Refugees and serfs who could return home, as well as mercenaries stranded after the war.

On this basis, it will even reduce the amount of money you should pay to fund the construction of your territory after the war."

Elizabeth said in her heart, what you think is really wonderful, but the current situation requires her to accept it. Just when she was about to say something, she was interrupted by the excited Count Iris.

"Perce Medici, you are taking advantage of the situation! Cough cough!....Cough cough cough!" Count Iris said excitedly, his violent coughing almost making him unable to sit on the large and comfortable sofa.

In this regard, Elizabeth looked at Count Iris with disappointment and said, "Brother, you have to think clearly, Baron Perth is the only nobleman who lends a helping hand. And I think you should be very clear. If other noblemen come, I'm afraid they will ask for help."

More."

Then he looked at Perth meaningfully and said, "Okay, you win, Perth Medici - Tulip Baron of Florence, I will do as you say."

After hearing what Elizabeth said, Count Iris had obviously realized that this was the best outcome.

A bitter smile of frustration and decadence appeared on his pale face, and he sighed, "Okay, you win, Perth Medici - the Tulip Baron of Florence, I promise you."

After listening, Perth nodded with satisfaction and said, "I promise, you will not regret your decision, Your Excellency, the wise Earl of Iris."

After finishing speaking, he drank the last sip of Jin Cui wine from the cup and said, "I think you may be tired too. After you get what I need, you will hear the sweet triumphal horn echoing in the "Mountain Fortress" tomorrow morning.

Under the city wall."

"Thank you for your concern, but it would be better for me to take you to the family treasure room in person." Count Iris refused with a stiff face.

The group of people walked out of the reception room. On both sides of the wide corridor were portraits of the owners of the Fusimela family. One could tell at a glance that this was a family with profound heritage.

Unlike the Medici family, although they claim to be descendants of Averardo, the Sky Knight, the "Giant Skull Crusher", they actually have been lonely for more than a hundred years.

Even the first generation of nobles with the title of Feileng Cui in the Kingdom of York was just a leather shoe merchant at first. It was not until more than 300 years ago that he regained his noble status by funding the expedition of the then king.

It took several generations of hard work and management before Perth's grandfather obtained the status of Earl of Feilengcui and the fief of the Earl of Nanshan.

This is also the reason why Perth's father, Count Feilengcui, would rather be ridiculed by other nobles than choose the more powerful Moxxi Medici as his successor.

After all, the Feilengcui family in Nanshan Earldom does not have the solid foundation of rule passed down by the Fusimela family for thousands of years.
