The war between Fang and the Principality of Momor lasted for too long, and countless people from Ceylon entered the battlefield. Whether it was Ceylon or Momor, the demand for manpower and minerals was huge.
Minerals can be used to make weapons and armor, which are the guarantee for soldiers to survive on the battlefield.
The fact is, as Galon said, there are indeed many ores in the desert that are not found in Ceylon. The desert is vast and in terms of area alone, it is not even close to Ceylon. However, because of the sparse population, it is unknown. . It is precisely because of these ores that the desert kingdom has strong capital to negotiate with Ceylon.
This time the news was conveyed very quickly. More than ten days later, a count who came from the royal city came to Falak City. He didn't even bother to rest. Under the leadership of the Lord of Elan, he came to the manor outside the city without stopping. .
Seeing Thunder, a young man who was already a legend in Ceylon, the earl, who was holding the Grand Duke's document, complimented him very politely. The host and guest took their seats, and then announced the Grand Duke's order: "Order the Marquis of Thunder to go to the desert as an envoy." Kingdom, and discuss a post-war agreement with the rulers of the Desert Kingdom.¡±
Lei Lei heard an evocative message from this order.
That means that in the documents, he is called a Marquis!
Last time, it was because he had "died" that the Grand Duke posthumously made him a marquis. However, he jumped out alive again, so whether he was an earl or a marquis has never been determined.
But now, it¡¯s confirmed.
"Congratulations, Lord Thunder." The count said with a smile on his face, "You may be the youngest marquis in the entire continent."
This is true. Only in his early twenties. He was actually awarded such a high title. It's really unbelievable. Thunder was not happy. The higher the position. The greater the responsibility. I want to get out of the muddy waters of war in the future. It's not easy.
Marquis. Within Ceylon. Second only to the title of nobility of the Grand Duke. It can be said that he is under one person. More than ten thousand people.
Although this title. It was Lei Ting who really earned it with countless military exploits. But there is no guarantee that some people will put their own shoes on. He is only a marquis in name only. But within Ceylon. But there are many in name and in reality. The powerful Marquis. those people. But they are all old men in their seventies and eighties. Compare the two. It is normal for them to be mentally unbalanced.
For the time being, abandon the tangled thoughts in your heart. Lei Lei asked the Earl in front of him in a low voice: "Is this all the Grand Duke has to say?"
"Yes." The earl nodded and smiled. Then he lowered his voice and said: "The Grand Duke asked me to accompany you. Although my title is not as good as yours, but people become better with age. Haha."
The earl laughed a few times. The subtext is that brother, I have more experience than you!
Thunder immediately felt much more relaxed. Whether the Grand Duke didn't believe him or he wanted to be lazy, as long as the Count followed him, he would be allowed to negotiate when the time came. My mission to the desert was just a name, to let the desert kingdom give Gaza his wish.
¡°Then please, Lord Earl, please give me some more advice.¡± Lei Lei said with a smile.
The matter was settled like this, everyone made preparations and set off the next day. On the Ceylon side, in addition to Thunder and the Earl, Pruden also brought a group of Blood Crusaders, posing as guards behind.
The girls all followed to send Thunder off, and they were not willing to go back until they were far away.
"Lord Lei Ting, I really admire you for not being a frivolous young man." The earl complimented. After a day of communication, Lei Ting learned that the earl's name was Nagel, and he was a very kind-hearted middle-aged man.
Lei Lei smiled slightly and did not answer any more.
¡°After all, I am a messenger like the clothes on a prostitute, dispensable and purely for decoration! Thunder is also happy. When we arrive at the Desert Kingdom, we can just leave all the negotiations to Nagel.
This time we were not in a hurry, unlike the last time we had to march in a hurry. Along the way we could enjoy the local customs of the desert, and the envoy Galong also treated us well. After walking for more than a month, we crossed the vast desert and arrived at Shabak, the royal city of the desert kingdom.
Looking from afar, this is a majestic and huge city. The whole city presents a beautiful earthy color. Unconventional buildings stand in the middle of the city, which feels a bit like ancient Egypt.
The weather in the desert is very hot, and it is precisely because of this that the desert soldiers guarding the city gate have a bad temper and shout at the passers-by.
When it was Lei Lei's turn to walk over in the dusty way, several soldiers quickly calmed down their arrogance and greeted Galong respectfully: "Sir, are you back?"
Galong ignored them and just turned around to look at Lei Lei.The man smiled slightly: "Everyone, please, this is Shabak."
Stepping into the city gate, noisy sounds suddenly hit from all directions. Lei Lei sighed slightly. It is indeed the royal city of the desert kingdom. Compared with the city that was captured by Kudes, this city is ten times more prosperous and the crowd is quite dense. .
Desert women are rather poorly dressed. They often only cover their breasts and part of their waists with clothing. Their long, smooth black hair hangs loosely around their shoulders, exposing their wheat-colored skin. Their waists are twisted like snakes, and they are slender. The smooth breasts and small and delicate navel were swaying in front of everyone's eyes.
A group of men from Ceylon, eyes flashing green.
Some girls also tied small bells on their wrists and feet. The jingling bells made a pleasant sound when they walked around.
"This is the style of our desert women, isn't it different from Ceylon?" Galong looked at everyone with a smile.
"It's very different." Lei Lei withdrew his gaze.
"If you are interested, I will take you to visit Shabak tomorrow."
¡°It¡¯s still business that matters. It¡¯s not too late to go sightseeing after we¡¯re done.¡± Nagel said with a smile.
"Well, please come with me." Galong nodded and led the way.
The size of Sabak was somewhat beyond Lei Lei¡¯s expectation. Everyone walked for almost an hour before they saw a huge and magnificent building appearing in front of them from a distance.
This building seems to be built on a huge high platform, overlooking the entire Shabak, with long stairs stretching up. Dozens of huge pillars support the weight of the building and accentuate its magnificence.
There is almost no need to guess, Thunder already knows that this is Shabak¡¯s palace.
At this moment, on both sides of the long staircase, teams of well-trained desert soldiers, neatly dressed, stood there quietly, without squinting. There was a calm but powerful look on the faces of these desert soldiers. These people are all soldiers who have truly gone through bloody battles. In terms of quality and strength, they should be not much different from the Blood Crusaders.
I have confirmed with the editor that the new book will be released on the 15th. I hope all brothers and sisters will support it.
???????????????????????????????????? When the little mage was writing in the later stage, Xiao Mo had too many things to deal with, so he felt very tired and unable to do what he wanted to do as he wrote. Instead of working hard to compile some plots that are not exciting, it is better to open another book to avoid wasting everyone's money.
The next new book is Xian Xia. I conceived it intermittently for three months. I revised the first draft three times and had to rewrite it once, so it shouldn¡¯t be too bad. Friends who support Xiao Mo, please remember to collect and vote when the time comes. Thank you!
