With a faint smile on the corner of Link's mouth, he watched the scene with his coffee.
The macaw with his hands on his hips, his fat belly looked majestic and mighty because of its violent inhalation, the eyes of millet grains stared like copper bells, and the temperament of the whole bird was like a goddess.
The Duke on the opposite side of the sofa was also holding coffee, but his eyes met Link, and he didn't care about the macaw's glare.
"That's all I have to say, General Lin can think about it." The Duke said, although his face did not change, but he was still very worried. You must know that the Wasteland Gang had joined forces with the Mechanical God Cult and approached Shadu, which caused great pressure on Link. Moreover, I just ambushed Link some time ago and returned without success...
In just two days, he came to seek peace, and with the wasteland to help the current chaotic situation, as long as Link was willing, Esiah was at his fingertips. If you are yourself, I am afraid you will not agree to this request for peace.
Before Link could speak, the macaw couldn't help it, with his hands on his hips aggressively: "Oh, you really have a good abacus. The previous ambush failed, and then he went back and was done by Sang Kun again. Now the Wasteland Gang After the great chaos, I found that the troops were insufficient and faltering, so I turned my head to ask for peace? If you can't fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you will surrender. Are you a flower of Esiah, why do you think so beautiful?"
The Duke was silent for a while, and decided to make the last fight: "Yes, you are right, but..."
"I agreed."
The Duke's stiff face finally squeezed out a shocked expression. Although his eyes and pupils were 30% larger than usual, Link keenly caught the change.
The Duke thought he would have to spend countless more words, but he didn't expect that he was just brightening his purpose. Link directly agreed, and he didn't say a word that had left him brewing for a long time.
Is this promise too fast?
Is there a fraud?
Link saw the duke's doubts and explained: "Of course, my agreement is also conditional. First, there is no so-called wasteland gang from now on, and Esiah will be ruled by the Shadu; second, full openness. The trade port between Shadu and Esiah is taken over by the Shadu official; third, Daotuo is allowed to have private soldiers, but the number must be controlled at 10,000. The Shadu military will be stationed in Esiah daily, but will not intervene in daily management ; Fourth, the rule and management of ordinary times, the sand is not enough, but all major policy guidelines, Esiah must unconditionally cooperate.
As long as you agree to these four requirements, then I welcome the integration of Esiah. "
The Duke did not respond immediately, but lowered his head in thought and carefully considered these four requirements.
To sum up, it is to send troops to guard against rebellion and not interfere in daily rule, but in general, we must listen to the call of Shadu to open up commerce and strengthen ties.
At first it sounds like the requirements are very strong, but after thinking about it, it feels very reasonable. Every step is just in front of the bottom line of Daotuo and the Duke.
"Okay, I agree." After thinking about it, the Duke finally agreed to Link's terms.
The Shadu Army, the fearsome wolf cavalry, and the special forces, all Chen Bing are located five kilometers away from Esiah. The Duke also knows that many Saudi Teko intelligence personnel have also lurked in Esiah, and they are now employed by Daotuo. In the pawn. The most frightening thing is that there are more foreigners in Shadu, like a locust entering, where no grass grows.
Although Esiah also has strangers, the number is nothing compared to the sand.
These "immortal" aliens are still strong, if Link gives an order, I am afraid the entire Esiah can let them vacate.
Esiah is at a disadvantage in all aspects. If he refuses Link's condition, then he and Daotuo will only have a long way to go. What's more, Link's conditions are not aggressive, and Daotuo is emptied. The rule of Esiah is still in their hands, and it is more like an autonomous region under Shadu.
The macaw, who was brewing more intense speech, was dumbfounded when he saw the two who shook hands and made peace. When he got stuck in his throat and wanted to say something, there was a 180 degree drift at the last moment, with a beautiful five consecutive After the hairpin, he blurted out: "He who knows the current affairs is a brilliant man. It is really a wise move for the Duke to join Saduna. The people of Esiah are protected from the suffering of war and have immense merit. I have long heard that Commander Dao is upright, and he refused to be a mechanical god. He was framed and imprisoned by the villain Sang Kun and Yiganren. This time he came out of the mountain and took control of Esiah. This is the blessing of the people of Esiah!"
The corners of the duke's mouth twitched, and the speed of this macaw's face change was amazing.
I was glaring at him a second, and then he could say such nasty words with a squinting face.
Looking at Link's expression again, it seems that he has long been used to it, without any fluctuations.
Next to Link is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...
After finalizing his intention to submit, the Duke brewed for a while and continued: "The above is the official business that my father asked me to talk about. Now the talk is over. Next, I want to talk to the general about a little personal matter."
Link raised his hand and motioned the Duke to continue.
"Thank you, General Lin, for letting me make a living in the desert, and thank you for telling me about my life, so that I can reunite with my family without continuing to recognize the thief as my father. To show my gratitude, if the general is useful to my place in the future, even if I speak, I will definitely go through fire and water. Repay the kindness." The Duke of Destruction had firm eyes, although he later wanted to understand that Link's "righteous act" on the battlefield might only be to provoke discord and cause chaos in Esiah. But it did save him and his father Daotuo without causing a tragedy.
The Duke took a deep breath, as if he had made an important decision.
"I know that the Platinum Hotel has issued the most wanted order against General Lin, and now Esiah is under the rule of Shadu. As a subordinate, I will draw a line from the Platinum Hotel. Later, I will go to Shadu Platinum Hotel to apply for retirement. Withdraw from the list."
On the surface, Link was as unmoved as an old dog, but he was already delighted in his heart.
The three major "generals" of the Platinum Hotel are the Shining, Nightmare, and Duke.
Now the Duke's Golden Basin washes his hands and turns around to join Shadu, which is not a big blow to the Platinum Hotel.
This is equivalent to digging a wall in front of you.
"Well, I'm actually not that kind of stingy person. You see that the Platinum Hotel has issued a most wanted warrant for me, and I am still in Shadu doing it well. There should be no psychological pressure on this kind of thing, everything can be done from the heart..." Link Said leisurely.
The Duke nodded firmly: "I have decided, General Lin does not have to persuade me. I can take responsibility for my actions."
This kid is pretty good~
After the Duke left, Link's Voice Worm called Penguin Penney and asked it to be responsible for the handover of the Esia staff who was staying in Shenmu City.
The macaw stretched its neck out of the fat with difficulty, leaned close to the window to see the Duke leaving, rushed to Link's side, and asked puzzledly: "Why did we agree to his request? In West Asia, isn't it better to let us control the construction?"
Link glanced at the macaw. Although this guy saw the wind change the rudder's face quickly, he didn't think about the key reason.
"It's okay to take Esiah directly under our control, but this is not the best way." Link pointed to the direction of the door. "Now the Duke who is ranked third in the Platinum Hotel standings takes the initiative to withdraw, and the Platinum Hotel loses a member. Do you think this is a loss?"
The macaw suddenly realized: "Boss, are you planning to take action against the Platinum Hotel?"
Link looked at the door and said confidently: "Look, it's not that simple for the Duke of Destruction to quit the Platinum Hotel. Think about John back then..."
The macaw immediately became energetic, the eyes with big rice grains turned back and forth, strange and strange, and seemed to be ready to join in the fun.
The macaw patted his forehead suddenly: "Well, I suddenly heard that I have an appointment with a silver hand today. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first~"
Link picked up a newspaper on the table: "Well, go, there's nothing wrong with me."
As soon as the voice fell, the newspaper was picked up by a gust of wind, the door creaked, and the macaw had run away without a trace.
The corners of Link's mouth rose slightly, with a tricky expression.
He knows that macaws usually like to join in the fun, and if he said that, macaws will definitely follow. Moreover, the macaw and the silver hand "father and son" are inseparable, and silver hand is absolutely indispensable in this wave. Silver Hand, because it is a clone of John, activated the subconscious mind when getting along with John, that is, the memory of John before, including the platinum hotel.
Tonight, just wait for a good show!
With a smile on his face, Link glanced at the newspaper again, his face flushed.
Ya'eryo, the newspaper was turned upside down.
After leaving the Howling Castle, the Duke couldn't help sighing.
The biggest task of coming to Shadu this time has been completed, and joining Shadu smoothly is the best ending.
The duke felt cold sweat on his back, and his shirts were soaked.
In the last ambush, the Duke just felt Link's strength, and every move was a big move, and it was hard to guard against.
But this time, his trepidation and fear were even worse.
After the most difficult day, he led Daotuo's guards and mercenaries, successfully defeated other remnant warlords, and won all and sole control of Esiah. While in the basement, the Duke and Daotuo talked openly. Daotuo learned from the Duke that Link had told all this, and after the Duke confirmed the truth of this matter, he could no longer mention anything about him. Overcome the mind of confrontation.
Link's horror is simply the power of ghosts and gods.
Whether it is knowing secrets or strength, it's as if this guy knew everything in advance. How to contend in this situation?
What's more, Link has grace with him, which makes the Duke of Destruction unable to think.
So he told Daotuo his thoughts, Daotuo also inherited Link's love, and this time he was jointly ousted by other warlords, and he learned about the destruction of Mechanical God. Now the Wasteland Gang is in such a mess. He also faded his thoughts about hegemony, and simply let the Duke decide for himself. That's why today the Duke came to the Howling Castle to say.
Along the way, the Duke was even more emotional when he saw the prosperity of Shadu.
Once upon a time, Shadu, under the notice of Alonso, was synonymous with chaos and disorder. Except for the drunken dignitaries, the slums are no different from the slums of Esiah. There are violence and crime everywhere. But coming back this time, it seemed like a different world, if it weren't for the buildings in the slum area, the Duke thought it was the Upper City.
The streets are full of people coming and going, full of vitality everywhere.
In the past, the sluggish streets and closed-door merchants are in sharp contrast to the current situation where the crowds are crowded and crowded.
With such a city with a population of 45 million as the logistical foundation, Link's road to dominance has become more solid.
Shadow Alley, the entrance to the underground black market.
As soon as the Duke arrived, the beggar who collected the gold coins stood up in fear and knocked on the door to the underground black market for the Duke.
Just entering the underground black market, the Duke's brows instantly frowned.
The dance floor music in his memory shook the sky, and people swayed on the dance floor, releasing hormones.
But now, the dance floor in front of me was empty, with all kinds of flashes on, without any music, and there was a smell of death. There is only one bartender on the side bar, wiping the bar boringly over and over again, his eyes numb.
The Duke did not stop, and continued to walk in.
In the underground black market and the abandoned subway station, the original lively event no longer exists.
Many shops were closed tightly, and a thick layer of ash fell on the tarpaulin, which seemed to be left unattended for a long time.
In sporadic shops, the owner yawns idly, and the huge red-bottomed discount card is full of the words "50% off", but even so, no customer can be seen on the whole street .
The Duke did not expect that the previously prosperous underground black market is now deserted!
The store yawned and saw someone approaching, without raising his eyelids, he said mechanically: "Buy something, now it's 50% off, buy two pieces are 40% off, do you need..."
The Duke stopped, UU reading www.uukanshu.com stared at the store and asked, "Why did the underground black market suddenly become like this?"
The store sneered, and immediately looked up and saw the Duke, shaking all over.
"Duke, Lord Duke... why are you here."
The shadow of the famous tree of man, the Duke ranked third in the platinum hotel standings, known as the waste Saturn.
"answer my question."
The store sighed softly: "Since General Lin became the leader of Shadu, and his reputation has become more and more prosperous, there are fewer and fewer people in the underground black market. Platinum Hotel has issued the most wanted order, and the underground black market is the owner of Shadu Platinum Hotel. "Good old man" Derek's industry, people are afraid of Derek, but they are even more afraid of General Lin, who is in full swing, for fear of being retaliated against, so they all left with excuses."
"Then why don't you leave?"
The uncle of the store smiled: "I have been setting up a stall here for almost 20 years. I have feelings. Where do I go? I think that even if General Lin and the Platinum Hotel are facing each other, it will not be difficult for me as a common man. "
If the Duke nodded deeply, "Indeed, he will not embarrass you."
"Then borrow your auspicious words~" The boss smiled.
The Duke still didn't say the second half, and he didn't embarrass me.
"I want these two things, here is the money, no need to look for them." The Duke picked up the two things casually and walked towards the Platinum Hotel.
