Chapter 446: Reconciliation

Since he learned that the two thousand troops of the Wells Legion and the Longsha Legion had arrived in Diguan Town, Count Kodor could not sleep or eat. He did not expect that the enemy would advance so quickly. As soon as he stepped into the gate of Kodor City, he followed.

"Report!" Just as Count Kodor was paced back and forth in the lord's hall, the messenger came to report.

"Is it about the Wells Legion?" Earl of Codor turned and walked towards the messenger at the door.

"Reporter, it is the special envoy sent by the Earl of Bernard of the Thorne court."

"What? Special Envoy?" Earl Kodor was surprised and did not immediately call the messenger to call the envoy sent by Thorne's court, but slowly turned around and sat on the large skinned chair in the lord's hall and closed his eyes and pondered.

At this time, the old man Bernard sent a special envoy to come here. If it were in the past, Count Kodor would have asked someone to prepare wine and take out gold and silver to entertain the people sent by Bernard. After all, at that time, Bernard was extremely powerful and had a good relationship with the palace, and he would have to do his own good in the future. These small gifts were regarded as paving the way for the future.

However, now the world has changed, and the Thorne court represented by Bernard has successively retreated in the north. In contrast, the Restoration Army of Dongjing is pressing forward step by step, and has been unstoppable, and has successively conquered and occupied many towns and strategic areas in the eastern part of Thorne Province. The Thorne court is facing a situation of being completely suppressed and shrinking step by step.

At this time, the external situation also reversed fundamentally. The principality, which originally supported Thorne's court, turned against him and changed his mind. The Kingdom of France and the Paris Church firmly supported Flanders' side.

As far as Thorne's court was concerned, Count Kodor also received secret information. Seeing the Principality that originally supported Thorne's court transferred the army on the border, some powerful ministers and nobles who supported Bernard had already begun to waver, secretly venting with the Besanson court and intending to make peace. Now those who fully support Bernard are his confidants. Although he knew that some guys had been scared by Dongjing and were ready to move, Bernard still dared not attack those people. Because he still needed those people's wallets to serve him, if those people were cleaned up too early at this time, it would inevitably cause resistance. This would undoubtedly add insult to the injury to the Thorne's court, which was already in turmoil.

After a thorough consideration, a thought flashed in Count Kodor's mind: make peace. Before Flander completely occupied the province of Thorne, he swears allegiance to the new king. Otherwise, when the Thorne court where Bernard is completely defeated by Beverland, the new king will definitely raise the sword in his hand to cut out his heart.

It is not too late to make peace at this time. As an old-fashioned powerful minister in the Belarus country, he has been in charge of the province of Cordore for decades and sworns allegiance to the new king. Flander will definitely be open to himself. After all, it is much wiser to have more ally than an enemy, and Flander will not not understand this principle. He can respond to the battle of successors, even get the support of Paris and his loyal followers like Att. Flander is by no means lucky.

But in order to find out the purpose of Bernard sending the special envoy, Count Kodor still planned to meet this guy.

"Bring that guy here." Earl of Codor ordered the order against the messenger who had been standing outside the door for a long time.

"Yes, Lord Earl."

Soon, the envoy sent by Thorne's court had already arrived at the entrance of the lord's hall in the city of Codor.

"Sir Earl, the special envoy of Thorne's court is here." The messenger reported outside the door.

"Come in." Earl Kodor's tone was less enthusiastic than the past. If it were before, he would have been waiting outside the door.

Since the envoy had been waiting outside the Earl's mansion for a long time, the envoy's face looked a little ugly. Hearing the summons from Earl Kodor, the envoy strided into the lord's hall.

Seeing Count Kodor sitting on a large skinned chair in the lord's hall, the special envoy walked straight towards Count Kodor.

"Sir, I~"

"Let's sit first." As soon as the envoy spoke, Count Kodor casually interrupted him. The envoy of Thorne's court had to walk towards the seat on one side.

After a while, Earl Kodor looked at the guy with his eyes open. I remember that the last time the envoy of the Thoren court came, he informed Earl Kodor that the Thoren court had obtained the support of the principality, and his attitude was very arrogant, and he even ignored Earl Kodor. Before leaving, Earl Kodor asked someone to prepare a large amount of gold and silver for this guy, hoping to show goodwill to the Thoren court.

Now, the guy sitting in front of him no longer had the arrogant and arrogant face as before. He just waited silently with a calm face, and didn't even dare to show off his anger.

Seeing the change in the attitude of the special envoy before and after, Earl Kodor had guessed seven or eight points about the purpose of the visit of the special envoy of Thorne's court.

"Cough cough~" Earl Kodor, who was already lying on a large skinned chair with some back pain, pretended to cough twice.

"Sir, you are awake." The envoy quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Oh, the envoy, you're laughing. I've been doing a lot of business recently and I'm quite tired. I fell asleep when I was not careful," explained Count Kodor.

"Sir, you are responsible for the important task of the Kingdom of Neptune, so you must be careful of your health." Seeing Earl Kodor walk down the steps, the envoy quickly got up and reached out to support him.

"Come here, prepare wine for the envoy as soon as possible." Earl Kodor ordered the servant in the side room, while leading the envoy to his seat.

"I wonder if the envoy has any instructions for coming this time. Is the Principality ready to send troops?" Earl Kodor tentatively took out some useful information from the envoy's mouth.

"Hehehe, Count, the Principality has long announced its support for Thorne's court, and it is a matter of time to send troops." The envoy said with a smile. "There are two things that the Thorne's court sent me here this time."

"Oh, please let me know." Earl Kodor showed an expectant look and leaned his body slightly towards the envoy. The envoy looked at Earl Kodor, then turned his head to look in the inner castle~

Of course, Earl Kodor knew what this guy was thinking. In the past, every time the envoy came, Earl Kodor would first ask the servants in the inner castle to prepare a bag of jingling "gifts" as the envoy's "hard work fee". I hope to get as much useful information from this guy's mouth as possible, and I could also use this guy's mouth to speak a few good words for myself in front of Thorne's court.

But now the situation has changed, and the Earl of Kodor is no longer willing to reward the wealth he had worked hard to manage Kodor for several years to this greedy guy in front of him.

"What are the special envoys looking inside?" Earl Kodor asked pretended. The special envoy turned his head slowly, and saw that the smile on his face had disappeared.

"Oh, nothing, nothing, Lord Earl." The envoy replied quickly.

"Didn't you just say that there were two things in the Thorne court who sent you here? Tell me."

Noting the change in Earl Kodor's tone, the envoy dispelled his thoughts just now.

"Sir, Earl Bernard asks me to tell you that the rear of the army that attacked Fort Marcie has been destroyed by the people sent by the Thorne court, and they will not last long. This is the first thing. In addition, Earl Bernard asks you to resist that army. The Thorne court has sent people to the Principality and urged them to send troops to Besanson immediately and encircle and suppress the Restoration Army with the Western Army. It is a matter of time before the recapture of the East Jing. You are a meritorious minister of the Bo Kingdom, and the new court will definitely not treat you badly."

"Oh, by the way, Count Bernard has a private letter to me to pass it to you." The envoy said, and took out the letter from his waist and put it on the table.

Earl Kodor looked at the letter on the table and did not rush to open it. Instead, he touched his chin beard, thinking about the secret letter he had just obtained from his two friends. It was not what the lip service guy in front of him said. The reason why the Thoren court sent a special envoy came was simply to comfort him and work hard for the Thoren court. He was not a fool.

Now, he will never be led by the old man Bernard. He promised him to surrender and support the court of Thorne because Bernard promised to divide half of the territory of Lucesen to himself after the situation was fulfilled. Now the situation is over, and he has to consider his future and destiny. Before the big cake that Bernard painted for himself was touched, he had already lost half of the territory of Kodor Province, and at the same time he lost countless money and troops, which was not worth the loss.

Earl Kodor thought for a while, picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine and said to the special envoy of Thorne: "How did I hear people say that the Principality recently sent someone to Besanson to talk to Flanders about supporting the Restoration Army to unify the Belgian state."

"This~" the envoy was shocked, his body was already trembling, and his eyes also moved away from Count Kodor.

"Boe~ Count, this must be the rumors spread by the rebels in Besanson to destroy your friendship with Count Bernard." The envoy quickly explained.

"Hmph! Friendship? When will that old guy hide it from me?" Earl Kodor looked disdainful to the guy in front of him who was talking nonsense.

"Sir, please pay attention to your words!" The envoy heard that Earl Kodor was disrespectful to his master and stood up to remind Earl Kodor.

"You bastard, you dare to show off your power in front of me when it's time!" Earl Kodor cursed.

"You!" At this time, the envoy's face turned pale, but he did not dare to attack.

"Do you think I don't know? Because of the pressure from the Kingdom of France and the Church, the Principality had already withdrawn the troops on the border. It also sent people to show goodwill with the Besanson court, hoping to renew the covenant again." Earl Codol said loudly, and the spit in his mouth kept flying towards the special envoy's face, which was so scared that the special envoy covered his head and retreated.

"You are here just now. I'm worried about not taking the 'gift' that I can take." Earl Kodor smiled with satisfaction.

"What gift? For whom?" The envoy seemed to understand the murderous intent in the eyes of Count Kodor.

"You! Do you dare to collude with the rebels?" The envoy pointed his finger at Earl Kodor and asked.

"Collectiveness? How can this be said to be collusion? This is called peace of mind." Earl Kodor finally revealed his plans.

"You~" As he spoke, the envoy ran out of the lord's hall...

"Catch him!" With the order from Count Kodor, the guards outside the door grabbed the envoy who had just run to the door and fell to the ground.

"Let me go, you two bastards!" the envoy shouted, struggling.

"I'm still useful to take the envoy down and lock me up."

"Yes, Lord Earl."

"Molmon, you are treason! You traitor, you have to think clearly. Earl Bernard will not let you go. You are going to the execution platform..." The envoy was dragged out of the lord's hall by the guards, and cursed~

"Come!" After the special envoy's voice disappeared in the lord's hall, Count Kodor called the messenger over.

"You leave the city immediately and take my secret letter to go..." Earl Kodor looked around and lowered his voice and said to the personal guard.

"Yes, Lord Earl."
