Chapter 177 Negotiations in progress
"It's time to talk about the main topic."
Under the leadership of Carl, the people of the Empire walked around Miluo Island.
The imperial inspection team led by Verion learned about the strength of Miluo Island and finally began to formally evaluate it.
"Please follow me to the main hall to discuss."
Carl brought everyone to the manor and invited everyone in the empire to say.
Verrien and others followed Carl to the manor. Passing by the large square of the manor, he saw Morina moving in the side courtyard.
"Is that the person from the Knights of Valkyrie?"
Verion pointed there and asked Carl, her tall and strong female figure was very similar to the body shape of the Valkyrie in his image. Combined with what Carl said before, the captured Nord Cavalry made Verion think of the Nord Valkyrie Knights, which is famous on the continent.
"Yes, that's Lord Morena of the Knights of Valkyrie."
Carl smiled and introduced, as if what he was talking about was just an ordinary knight.
As the leader of the Knights of the Nodride Knights, Morina's name was naturally circulated in the empire.
Verion looked at the other person, nodded and continued to walk towards the manor.
So what if you are the leader of the Valkyrie Knights? You are not a prisoner in the cage now?
Verion had already brought Miluo Island into the empire's power. Thinking that the empire had suppressed Nord again, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
He followed Carl's footsteps with his head held high, not knowing whether he was to show his imperial style or simply because he was proud of himself.
Morena on the other side naturally recognized this group of people. They must be representatives of the Imperial military in their imperial uniforms.
What is they coming here? Miluo Island wants to get along with the Empire? The Imperial Navy has pushed the power to the Golden Sea?
Morina, who was watching coldly, thought a lot for a while.
Nord and the Empire have been constantly chaotic on land. In recent years, under the restraint of Emperor Mallor, the borders between the two countries have been relatively stable.
At the sea, the two countries are separated by a golden sea, which originally acted as a buffer zone, but they are still peaceful.
But as the Imperial military personnel arrived at Miluo Island, Morena became alert.
As a senior executive of the Knights, she knew very well what this meant: Miluo Island is likely to cooperate with the Empire.
In this way, Miluo Island, located in the Golden Sea, will become an important accomplice of the empire here.
Morina, who has seen the strength of Miluo Island, has no doubt that they have the ability to dominate the Golden Sea.
After all, being able to defeat the Nord regular army at the same time on land and sea is not comparable to those pirate forces like stinky fish and shrimp in the Golden Sea.
Once her guess comes true, Nord will encounter more difficult problems than the failure of this expedition: the throat of the Golden Sea is in the hands of relevant forces in the empire.
Morena's face turned gloomy and she was thinking about a solution to break the situation.
.
"The title of Count, plus regular employment subsidies, Miluo Island will promise to advance and retreat with the Imperial Navy."
"What? Are you kidding?"
When Verion heard Carl's offer, he immediately refuted.
"How confident are you to say this condition? Victor Maré, the pirate king in the Golden Sea, has only obtained the title of viscount. Why do you think you can get higher conditions than him?"
Carl squinted his eyes, feeling a little tricky.
What this imperial naval envoy said is not without reason. He often speaks according to his fame. Although he shows that Miluo Island is now more powerful than Victor Maré, people have only heard of the reputation of the Pirate King in the Golden Sea in this sea area.
As for Miluo Island? Sorry, it seems that the nearby Kini natives are more famous.
"I believe that you should know better than me, the envoy.
These pirates are betrayal and will collapse when they fight. Apart from the battle of the battle, you can't expect them to have much positive impact on the Imperial Navy."
Carl spread his hands and commented disdainfully.
"Even so, I didn't see your sincerity in Miluo Island.
After talking for a long time, it was just your deputy who was negotiating with me. What about the real head of Miluo Island?”
Verion did not continue to discuss Victor Marre with him. As we all know, the Imperial Navy only took a fancy to his influence on a huge number of pirates in the Golden Sea.
No one would think that when the Snake Sect army came, these pirates who were afraid of life would really fight to the death for the empire.
"Smacking"
A clapping sound came from the side hall door, and a young man with a slutty face with his back and a slutty face came out.
Carl, who was originally sitting in the upper head, quickly stood up and stood respectfully behind the seat.
‘It seems that this is the Lord of Miluo Island.’
Verion looked at the overly young man, looking about the same age as Ashley.
But he would not underestimate that a force with such strength at this age either has extraordinary strength and skills or a strong background, which is worthy of his careful response in any case.
"Ashley, long time no see!"
Ashley did not respond to Link's slightly frivolous greeting, but rolled her eyes instead.
It's been a long time since I haven't seen each other in just a few days?
"Meet Link, Miluo Island."
Then, Link's face returned to calm and he greeted Verion in a faint way.
"Imperial Navy Special Envoy, Virion."
I did not hear the exaggerated introductions commonly used by pirates, such as "The Lord of Miluo Island, the Shelter of the People of the North, the Omen of the Wolf's Lifetime Enemy, and the Pain of Duke Louis' Breaking Wings", and Verrien's reflection on Link was quite good.
"So this time, I won't just use a little lord to send me away, right?"
Hearing Link's words, Verrien was stunned and turned around to look at his subordinates. Ashley approached and told him about Link's previous experience in Raven Island.
"This is our previous negligence, and this kind of problem will not occur again."
Verion thought for a while and then said:
"A viscount, the right of overseas lords to freely enfeoff, plus the permission to trade most of the arms supplies at a cost.
This is the highest bargaining chip I can give on behalf of the Imperial Navy.”
Verion did not go around in circles. Considering Link's previous experience at Raven Island, he thought it would be better to spread it out with the other party.
"Overseas lords freely seal off?"
Link was very satisfied with other conditions, but this item touched his blind spot in knowledge.
"Yes, you can freely enfeoff positions below the inner viscount of Miluo Island, and all of them are recognized by the empire."
Verrien explained patiently that in his opinion, this condition was completely icing on the cake, far less than the promise of the subsequent cost-price transaction.
"So, I can enfeoff my subordinates at will, even if there are dozens or hundreds of imperial barons, Lord?"
Link raised his eyebrows. This was the treatment that Tony and others longed for.
