Arthur breathed a sigh of relief when the topic of marriage was over.
I don''t know if it''s the reason why I laughed at Leah yesterday. This will happen today.
Arthur had no interest in that miss yville, and he didn''t care at all whether the other party was as rumored or as Sir fellers said.
Sympathy, excuses, but all out of aristocratic hypocrisy. In Arthur''s heart, the other party was not even as good as a slave in his territory.
The failure of the marriage was clearly not in Sir fellers''s plan.
In their anticipation, Lingfeng Castle should be glad to accept the olive branch thrown by the Barrett family. As for the marriage with their Barrett family, Arthur tustra should be ecstatic.
Because, no matter how they think about it, Lingfeng castle will make more profits when their two families marry.
As he just said, as long as they have the support of the Barrett family, Lingfeng castle can not only alleviate the threat brought by Warcraft, but also do not have to worry about the pressure of other nobles.
Arthur tustra could not have known what danger he would face when winter came, sitting in an iron mine.
At this moment, nothing can be more surprising than making a strong ally.
In addition to the kewilt family, is there a stronger family than the Barrett family in the whole North?
——No!
The old jazz thought, he really didn''t understand what the boy opposite thought. He clearly showed his willingness to cooperate, but he refused the natural marriage.
He doesn''t believe in the stupid words of "feelings". Even if there are, nothing is more important to the aristocracy than the safety of the family!
And is there any better and stronger way of cooperation and alliance than marriage?
Looking at Sir fellers frowning and thinking, Arthur picked up his glass and waited quietly. He knew that the other side was considering new cooperation plans and wording.
"Your Excellency," Sir fellers said, "it''s a pity that you can''t see yvia''s child become your wife with your own eyes. I hope it won''t affect our cooperation."
Arthur nodded noncommittally and motioned him to continue.
Looking at him, the old Sir smiled again and said, "I''m here on behalf of marquis Ted Barrett. I hope you can agree to three things."
"First thing: our Barrett family hopes that in the next three years, Lingfeng castle will provide us with 200 sets of armor and weapons for knights every year."
"Second thing: we heard that you used a powerful bow and arrow that can be used on horseback in the war to defeat the Green family. Our Barrett family hopes that you can provide us with 100 pieces of this bow and arrow every year."
"The third thing: Marquis Ted Barrett hopes that the Barrett family and the tustra family will form an alliance and help each other."
……
After hearing the other party''s three demands, Arthur was shocked and his eyes showed a flash of shock.
"My Lord!" cried bachelor Boye. He wanted to remind Arthur not to promise.
Arthur raised his hand to stop the bachelor first, looked at the old Sir across the table and said, "provide? Do you mean to give you the Barrett family free of charge? Do you know how many gold coins are worth in the east?"
Sir fellers smiled and said, "Lord count, how can this be said to be given to us? You forget, this is the condition that Lingfeng Castle must meet to obtain the support of the Barrett family."
Lion''s big mouth is a common routine for quotation at the beginning, but the other party''s requirement of 200 sets a year has completely exceeded the scope of the routine!
You know, with the current production capacity of the forging factory, only seven or eight hundred sets of armor and weapons can be made every year. These output needs to be supplied to some nobles in the East, the God of light, the king''s collar and the nobles in the north.
And now, the old guy actually asked him to give him 200 sets a year!
Where is the lion''s big mouth? This TM is clearly daydreaming and delusion!
Also, the Barrett family wants so many armor. What do they want?
"There are few things that gold coins can''t do in this world," said Arthur blandly. "Two hundred sets of armor and weapons. Such gold coins are enough to let a thousand mercenaries sell their lives for Lingfeng castle for one month - every year! Sir fellers, do you think your Barrett family can let a thousand soldiers fight for me for one month every year?"
Sir fellers smiled: "Lord count, mercenaries won''t help you resist Warcraft. You tustra family should know this very well. Although we Barrett family can''t provide you with 1000 soldiers, 200 Armored Cavalry willing to fight Warcraft should be able to do it."
Arthur smiled contemptuously and said, "have you seen Warcraft? Are you sure that the 200 knights in armor will be braver than the 200 mercenaries who take 100 gold coins a month? Also, I should never have said that you Knights of the Barrett family need to make trouble in the sharp blade fortress?"
"You..."
Hearing the speech, the old Sir''s expression changed, and his questioning was almost blurted out.
After calming the surging blood slightly, sir fellers said again: "Sir, Warcraft will come every year, but you can''t have good luck every year. As a family count and river Lord, you can''t rely on luck and luck for the safety of your family and the peace of the north."
"It doesn''t bother you. It''s really troublesome. Lingfeng castle and Shanghe take the lead. Maybe Warcraft will have a full stomach and spend the winter in Lingfeng castle. In short, Shanghe collar doesn''t need your help to resist Warcraft - I think I should have the right to make such a decision!"
Fellers put away the smile on his face. Arthur''s sudden sharp change made him realize that in the case of marriage failure, the talks on cooperation and alliance were not as easy as he thought.
"You are the Lord of the river Lord, and you naturally have such power," said Sir fellers, "But Lord count, have you ever thought that the biggest enemy of Lingfeng castle is not Warcraft, but those who covet Shanghe''s wealth? It''s really great that you took back the iron mine and let it earn more gold coins, but at the same time, you also recruited a group of robbers for yourself and made Shanghe''s in danger."
"You may be able to resist Warcraft, but when the winter is over and your knights and soldiers suffer heavy losses and are exhausted, can you still resist a group of ferocious robbers? For example, the Green family alliance not long ago."
"Count, I think at such a moment, you will want to have a good neighbor and strong strength. And our Barrett family is your only and best choice!"
Arthur nodded.
It has to be said that compared with Vernon and milt in the past, sir fellers, who is old and prudent, is much better. In a paragraph, he not only directly hit the key of lingfengbao crisis, but also carries a threat.
