Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 420 Negotiations
The voice was very familiar, but Stannis couldn't remember who the speaker was for a moment. He nodded to Charlie, indicating that he could let the messenger come over. He wanted to hear how Duke Garcia would be dying.Although the troops were prepared to capture the royal city, the sudden arrival of the messenger made Stannis stop dispatching troops. He wanted to know what important matters Duke Garcia had to tell him when the city was broken.

However, the knight who came to negotiate is very courageous. Both sides have already been beaten to death. He dared to come and say that he wants to negotiate. Could it be that he doesn't know that even though Stannis is angry as a king, he can't lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles? , but beheading a knight was easy and pleasant.

Robert thought further, and he leaned over to remind him in a low voice, "Be careful of fraud."

Stannis nodded, of course he thought of this, so when he went to see the envoy again, he deliberately opened the black armor to put on himself, and at the same time did not let his younger brother attend, so as not to be caught in the same place. After taking these precautionary measures, Stannis, accompanied by Anya, went to meet the knight who still refused to take off his helmet.

"You want to see me?" Stannis walked out of the tent, and a group of soldiers surrounded the tall knight. They pointed their spears at him in fear, obviously they had heard about the reputation of the Black Watch and did not dare to act rashly.

Stannis signaled his subordinates to put away their weapons, and then stepped forward. Anya on the side had gathered her magic and started to guard. A purple mist lingered around her fingertips. If the knight did anything wrong, she would kill him immediately on the spot.

The knight who had been silent since entering the barracks finally lifted his visor, and the people present all exclaimed in unison, because they were all very familiar with the knight who came to negotiate.

He was the eldest son of the Garcia family, Sir Junian, who had been disappearing for a long time and was rumored to have been killed by his younger brother!
"Junian Garcia." Seeing this face, Stannis couldn't help but subconsciously froze for a moment. He also thought that this exemplary knight had died in a power struggle and was used disgracefully by his younger brother Pedro. means to kill.

"Why do you..." Stannis organized for a long time but couldn't think of anything to say.

On the contrary, Junian smiled and helped him continue, "Didn't I get killed by my brother?"

Stannis nodded, indicating that was exactly what he wanted to say.

"We all have the blood of our father. He will not be so ruthless. It's just that I have voluntarily given up my right to inherit the title. Now I have become a vassal under my brother and swore to serve him."

Stannis gave Charlie a strange look, and the latter shook his head incomprehensibly, because Hunian was notoriously violent in the Principality, and when he got angry, he would not listen to anyone except his father, let alone his younger brother. How dare you detain yourself!But now, the heir to the duke who has shocked the world has become as docile as a female cat, and even voluntarily gave up the duke position. Stannis wondered if he was brainwashed by his younger brother.

Although he felt very strange, Stannis continued to ask: "Then what news did your father Garcia bring me?"

Stannis no longer calls Duke Garcia His Highness, which shows that he has completely broken away from the Duke's rule and is no longer his vassal.

If it was the usual Hunian, if anyone dared to disrespect his father so much, he would have punched him, but this time he was surprisingly good-tempered, thinking that it was a trivial matter.

"My father offered you a truce condition. He expressed his understanding of your request for the throne of Tanis, and he also expressed that he can let you go, but you must ensure that the Garcia family still maintains its rule over the western region."

Stannis had already thought of countless possibilities for Duke Garcia to send someone over to negotiate, from assassinating himself to delaying time, from scolding to begging to retreat in a shameless manner, but this time, he said something from the mouth of the Duke's son. Conditions that he couldn't even imagine.

Duke Garcia actually took the initiative to surrender the throne!
I am not dreaming!Stannis pinched his ass when no one was paying attention. After confirming that it was in reality, Stannis still didn't believe it. He felt more that the Duke sent someone to tease him.

"You mean, Garcia voluntarily abdicated and only wanted to be a guardian?"

Junian nodded, and continued: "Of course, he never wanted to be a duke, but the emperor of the empire forced him to sit in that position to supervise the country. Now that someone more suitable has appeared, he is of course willing to hand over the rule. Abdicate and let the virtuous."

Fortunately, Stannis didn't let Robert attend this meeting, otherwise his little brother would have to fight Hunian desperately if he heard such hypocrisy and nonsense with his eyes open!What does it mean not to be a duke?Garcia worked hard, hibernated for decades, wiped out dozens of families, slaughtered tens of thousands of people, and even said that he didn't want to be a duke at all!Turning black and white upside down, Stannis' ability to talk nonsense only obeys the guy sitting on the throne. Sure enough, no matter in that world, the face of politicians is comparable to the existence of dragon scales.

Stannis felt that his self-cultivation had improved a lot, otherwise he would have laughed out loud on the spot, but he still raised the corners of his mouth to show a disdainful expression, "It seems that we have all wrongly blamed the Duke, he is really loyal and sincere what!"

Junian didn't seem to hear the irony in his voice, so he nodded in approval.

Suppressing his nausea, Stannis also showed his consciousness as a veteran in the political arena, "Then Garcia can't bear to see the loss of life so much, and insists on making me the new king, then can he quit this city?"

"Of course!" Junian agreed.

Stannis was completely confused. In order to seek peace, Garcia could even abandon the lair that he had worked so hard to manage for more than ten years. What kind of medicine was sold in his gourd?

Just when he was in confusion, Hu Nian continued: "It's just that there is a premise for all of this, that is, you have to go to the city to interview my father in person. He wants to see you again and make sure that he is not trusted by someone."

"Oh~~" Stannis instantly understood that it turned out that Garcia wanted to play the white wolf with empty gloves, first trick him into the city with an undeniable condition, and then close the city gate and hack himself to death. Once the leader of the rebellion is dead, the rest of the people are of course safe, which is really a good idea.

What a ghost!Even a primary school student can figure out this trick of inviting you into the urn that everyone knows with his toes, but Garcia even pretends to be serious and expects him to be fooled. Is Xilu's scheme at the kindergarten level!
