Chapter 364 Declaring War
"Marshal!" As he was walking towards the living room of the elves over there, Dimatri, the acting foreign minister, walked over from the side and said, "I'm sorry, Marshal, the reception time is too short. I didn't expect the other party to come so early. An ambassador would be sent out, which caught me a little off guard, and we didn't know about it until they arrived at the gate of the city."
Dimatri was also recruited by Li Huailin from the Second Army. He didn't pay attention to diplomacy for the time being, so he didn't set up a foreign minister at the beginning, but he set it up after McCann's reminder. He took office for the shortest time, basically He didn't even take over the business, so Li Huailin didn't blame him.
"Why are the elves here?" Li Huailin asked.
"I guess I came to see your plan, Marshal. After all, the two sides are adjacent. I want to find out your attitude towards the elves." Di Matri said.
"Attitude, I'm looking for them." Li Huailin said.
"Marshal, do you really want to meet the elves in person?" Di Matri said suddenly.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked strangely.
"In fact, according to the regulations, I should be the one to meet them, and then bring them to meet you." Di Matri said, "If you go to meet them in person now, there will be some self-deprecating elements in it." .”
"Damn it, why didn't you say it earlier? Forget it. It's not for peace talks anyway. It doesn't matter who sees who." Li Huailin said, spreading his hands.
With Foreign Minister Di Matri and Hongchen Misty Rain, Li Huailin and others came to the living room on the right side of the Duke's Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw several of their own soldiers standing there, and there were some elves wearing green cloaks beside them. The soldiers here are all women, and they look like elite soldiers just from their spirit and spirit.
Did the human guards next to them secretly watch them. After all, I have never seen such a beautiful guy, and the elf soldiers here are so arrogant and unruly, they have never looked at them directly.
"Stand still, the Duke is here to meet the elf ambassador in person." Di Matri stepped forward and said.
The soldiers here immediately stood up, and the elf guards over there also immediately looked over. Seeing such a young duke, all the soldiers were taken aback.
Soon, as soon as the door opened, Li Huailin and the other three walked in, while all the other soldiers stayed outside the door. There are two elves inside the door, and they saw Li Huailin come in. The two people here were taken aback for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, the one in the front immediately stood up and said, "Grand Duke Aquitaine, nice to meet you."
Li Hualin looked at the two elves,
The one at the front is wearing a bright silver armor and a green cloak behind his back. In addition, the face of the elves already has extra points. This woman is definitely the one with the highest rating that Li Huailin has seen so far. Li Huailin paid attention to the other party's name, Sarina. Cuifeng, I don't know why I think It sounded familiar, but I didn't remember it for a while.
The other one is slightly weaker than Sarina, after all, if Selina is such a beautiful woman standing in front. It is difficult for the people behind to be very conspicuous. Li Huailin thought that she should be Sarina's adjutant or something, and the name he looked at showed Winnie.
"I'm Sarina, captain of the Silverwind Guard, and this is my adjutant, Winnie. I'm very happy to be the ambassador this time." Sarina introduced proactively.
"Silverwind Guard?" Li Huailin felt a little familiar again, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"Silverwind Guard?" Di Matri here immediately responded, and said a little surprised.
"You know?" Li Huailin asked in a low voice.
"Of course, Marshal, the Silverwind Guard is the most elite force of the elves. The number of legions is 100,000. Each soldier is basically an elite selected from among the elite." Dimatli also replied in a low voice.
"Is it the elite army of the elves?" Li Huailin touched his head and said. "Is the station close to us?"
"It's not too close, and it's not too far away. They are stationed near the main city of the elves." Di Matri said.
"Is that Captain Sharina? What is the main purpose of coming this time?" Li Huailin got a general idea of the information, so he turned his head and started talking to Sharina.
"This time, the Grand Duke of Aquitaine was entrusted to the Lancaster region, bordering on the border of our elves. Her lordship Queen's intention is to inquire about the future policy of the Grand Duke of Aquitaine towards the elves, whether the two sides will continue to trade, Whether the scale of trade should be expanded or reduced, or whether to form a military alliance, if one party is attacked, the other party must send troops to assist, I don’t know what the Duke thinks.” Serena here is very polite She said that although she was polite, she was not flattering at all. She was negotiating on behalf of the elf queen, and she couldn't lose the aura of the elves.
"Oh, these are all easy to talk about, but we need to solve a big problem first." Li Huailin said.
"Please speak." Sarina said immediately.
"The problem in the Kamle area." Li Huailin said lightly. The Kamle area is the problem that Li Huailin saw before with the dotted line marking the sideline. I heard that mining there is simply another money grab. Naturally, Li Huailin wants to make a profit. , not to mention the current situation, the farmers in their old capital are all empty, and they have no money, so they quickly recruit them to work as miners. Isn't this everyone's happy?
"What?" Serena here was immediately surprised. The Kemler region is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two. About a hundred years ago, about 30 years after the establishment of the empire, the 30-year war between the empire and the elves finally came to an end. It's over. The two sides divided the territory with each other. Basically, there was no problem. Only the Kemler area has not been settled.
There are about 6,000 elven civilians living in the Kemle area. This has been their territory for generations, and they are unwilling to leave, but in fact, this place was the territory of humans in ancient times, and humans have built cities on it. But now it is deserted, and people like elves moved here later and settled down here.
Soon this place became the trigger for the two countries to go to war again. Humans wanted the mithril mine inside, while elves wanted the land, and the two sides confronted each other.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the human king Resal realized that both sides could no longer fight, and if the fight continued like this, the fisherman of other countries would benefit, so he voluntarily gave up mining. In the area of the human race, but there are actually people of the elves living there, and the laws of the elves are also enforced, and the taxes paid are also for the elves.
In fact, this question was raised by the minister of the human race a long time ago. Can we just go to mines and not live here, but negotiations with the elves have no results. Because the other party opposed such acts of destroying nature, and thought it would affect the local residents, their attitude was very tough. Once again, the human race was pushed to the point of going to war, and then the human race shrank for the second time.
After this time, no one has mentioned this matter for nearly a hundred years, and the situation in the Kemler area has become the default. Selina here has never thought that the Duke of Lancaster here has just taken office. It's only been a few days, and I dare to mention this matter.
"The Duke of Aquitaine wants to mention the matter of the Kemle region? This is not very good." Selina here is not as happy as before. The problem of the Kemle region is a fundamental problem. The elves It is impossible to hand it over.
"Not so good? In fact, I just want to inform you. Don't say I didn't remind you. Three days later, I will directly find someone to mine in the Kemle area. The Kemle area is already within the scope of my fief. I don’t need to tell you, but considering that there are some people from your elves, in order not to cause any serious problems, I will notify you in advance, and quickly pull everyone away, so don’t make trouble for me.” Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Not a big deal? Looking for trouble?" Sarina snorted, "I don't know what the big deal the Duke is talking about."
"It's nothing, it's the same as you think." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Grand Duke of Aquitaine, you have to think about it carefully. If you continue to hold on to the matter in the Kemle area, something serious may happen. It is impossible for our elves to retreat in this regard. If you continue to do this If we persevere, we may face...war." Sarina said.
"So that's how it is." Li Huailin nodded, "Well then, on behalf of the Principality of Lancaster, I officially declare war on your elf kingdom."
"What!" "What!" "What!"
Not only Sarina, but even Hongchen Misty Rain and Di Mattelli on her side were stunned. What's going on? Why did the two sides declare war in less than ten minutes?
"Grand Duke of Aquitaine! Are you serious?" Sarina stepped forward and asked.
System prompt: You have declared war on the kingdom of elves, Lorien, on behalf of the Duchy of Lancaster. Are you sure?
Warning: Confirming the declaration of war will cause a lot of irreversible situations. During the war, you and Lorien, the country of elves, will be in opposing camps until the end of the war. Please consider carefully.
"OK." Seeing the red prompt box, Li Huailin still clicked OK.
System prompt: The Principality of Lancaster officially declares war on Lorien, the country of elves.
System announcement: The Principality of Lancaster has declared war on Lorien, the country of elves.
system notification:……
system notification:……
In an instant, the color of Sarina and the person who asked your name turned into a hostile red, and Sarina immediately waved her hand and said: "The Grand Duke of Aquitaine behaved like this, then wait to accept our elves The anger of the country." After saying this, Sarina was about to slam the door and leave.
"Captain Sarina, let me say it again for the last time. I really don't like to beat people to death with a stick. If you don't want to make a big deal happen, just do what I say obediently. Otherwise, I will give you the final result." No one can afford it." Li Huailin stood up and said.
"The Grand Duke of Aquitaine is so confused, let's see you on the battlefield." Selina here obviously didn't listen, and slammed the door and left.
"It's really..." Li Huailin raised his forehead, "A major event is about to happen again." (To be continued.
