“Miss Nilu has done a great job today. It’s good that she was able to let Master vent his anger. After all, Julianus’s conditions were too unreasonable. If Master doesn’t calm down, we can’t discuss the next strategy.”
Hearing Ningguang say this, Joel didn't quite agree. Was it really appropriate to measure a person's value entirely by such a business logic? No wonder when he occasionally had tea with Shizuku Misato, she said that she didn't like Ningguang very much.
Instead of showing her dissatisfaction with Ningguang, Joel carefully lowered her body and used her small mouth to clean Niu Zida's huge member. Niu Zida also began to thrust in Joel's small mouth, taking the opportunity to play with the beautiful woman's snow-white breasts.
"So, what are Ningguang's opinions on the negotiations?"
"I think we can agree to Julianus's conditions."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing Ningguang's words, Niu Zida stood up in surprise, forgetting that his enormous member was still inside Joel's mouth. It instantly shoved into her throat, causing the beautiful woman to cough painfully a few times. She hurriedly patted Niu Zida's thigh with her small hands, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.
"Ah... I'm sorry, my wife Joel..."
Niu Zida realized he had made a mistake and hurriedly put his huge thing into Joel's small mouth. Joel lay on the bed gagging, and a lot of saliva was brought out with the huge thing, making her throat a little swollen.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, are you alright?"
Niu Zida looked at Joel with concern, quickly patting her beautiful back while apologizing. Joel shook her head and said:
"I am okay……"
"Don't get excited, Master..."
Seeing Niu Zida's disheveled state, Ningguang couldn't help but smile. Niu Zida said with dissatisfaction:
"You're making sarcastic remarks. It's all your fault for suddenly coming up with such a shocking suggestion."
“My suggestion is quite reasonable. Since they want Altaïr City, we should just give it to them.”
"you say
Chapter 872
"That's easy. If I give it to him, then I'm basically working for him!"
Upon hearing Ningguang's statement, Niu Zida responded irritably...
Chapter 597 Agreement Reached
Chapter 597.
“Master, you misunderstood me. Even if we occupy Altaïr now, the most likely outcome is that we will be hostile to the lords of Altaïr, whether they are nobles or royals. It would be better to give Altaïr to the Kumani family. That way, they will occupy Altaïr, and we will leave you with room to negotiate with the princes and nobles within Altaïr.”
Seeing Niu Zida's displeasure, Ningguang quickly explained her words, which made Niu Zida realize his mistake. However, he was still somewhat unwilling and said:
“Ningguang, I understand what you mean. What you say makes sense, but we’ve worked so hard to conquer this city, which is also the capital of Altaïr, and we’re just going to hand it over to that brat Julianus like that…”
“Master, don’t worry about the gains or losses of a single city or place. What’s more important now is to control the entire Altaic region and win more support from the nobles. Even if we take Altaic City, if the nobles in other parts of Altaic not only fail to gain support from us, but instead all turn to the Kingdom of Fortini, our strategic situation will actually be more dangerous.”
Ningguang's words brought Niu Zida to his senses. He had previously thought that as long as he could occupy Altaïr City, he could control the entire Kingdom of Altaïr. However, he had forgotten to consider that the lords in various regions had a strong degree of autonomy. If someone used his goblin identity to their advantage, the Kingdom of Fortini might even take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
"Has Julianus turned this into an opportunity for me to retreat in order to advance?"
"Yes Master."
Seeing that Niu Zida had also figured this out, Ningguang nodded with satisfaction. Below, Joel was also using her small mouth to continuously suck and lick Niu Zida's huge member, causing Niu Zida's brain to start working at high speed:
"Perhaps the Kingdom of Fortini also realized this, which is why they began to prepare for war, in order to take advantage of the situation."
"Yes, Master. So taking Altaïr is just the beginning. Even if we disrupt Altaïr, we may not necessarily be the ones who benefit the most in the end. Master should still make long-term plans."
Ningguang's words made Niu Zida realize that his previous idea was to besiege Altaïr without attacking, and if he could weaken the pro-war nobles of the Kingdom of Altaïr, he could directly control Altaïr City. However, he had overlooked the movements of the Kingdom of Fortini. Moreover, now that he was besieging Altaïr City, what was the point of him defending the isolated city if many of the nobles of Altaïr, even if they were not pro-war, did not cooperate with him in the future?
After Ningguang's analysis, Niu Zida remembered the Hou Jing Rebellion in the Southern Dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period before he traveled to the world. Hou Jing besieged Taicheng, and the surrounding Southern Liang armies were negligent in their rescue efforts, allowing Hou Jing to capture Jiankang and control the central government. This situation was very similar to the strategic situation he was currently facing.
Hou Jing thought he had gained power, but after he installed a new emperor, he not only failed to gain the support of powerful families, but also became the target of everyone's attacks. In the end, after eliminating the emperor, he also died in the siege, giving Chen Baxian and others the opportunity to rise. He should be calm now and not do the work for others.
"You're right, it seems I need to think this through more carefully."
"By giving Altaïr to Julianus, the master will control the Altaïr royal family, using the emperor to command the princes. In turn, we can gain the support of the Altaïr royalists and even command some neutral nobles. Next, we still have to deal with the Kingdom of Fortini."
“You’re right, but will my identity be recognized by many nobles in Altaïr?”
Niu Zida knew that although he was nominally Viscount Karlsten, many nobles in Altaïr would not acknowledge his identity, which he had obtained from the Duchy of Heatherlink.
"Therefore, after we take Altaïr, we need to cooperate with the nobles within the city, especially the royalist nobles, to gain their support. Then, we need to put Altaïr under the control of Julianus, making him the target of the Altaïr nobles' hatred. We only need to control the Altaïr royal family..."
"Huh? There are people like that?"
"Of course, the Kamisato family."
Ningguang's reminder brought Niu Zida back to his senses. Right, he still had the Kamisato family to contact. But would that little Linghua really be willing to help him? She had been ignoring him when he tried to form an alliance with her before.
Thinking of this, Niu Zida thrust his penis forcefully at Yoel's small mouth a few times, and said to Ningguang:
"But, given Ayaka Kamisato's attitude towards me, do you think we'll cooperate well?"
"Given the current situation, she has no other choice. After agreeing to Julianus's request, the master should take advantage of the time difference during the siege to form an alliance with the Kamisato family."
Upon hearing Ningguang's strategy, Niu Zida was finally satisfied, and his doubts were largely dispelled. He had been somewhat reluctant to give up Altaïr City, but after Ningguang's analysis, he felt that relinquishing Altaïr City would be even more helpful to his future strategic development.
Having figured things out, Niu Zida felt much better. He held down Joel's head, thrusting forcefully for a while before ejaculating into the beautiful woman's mouth, shooting all his semen inside her...
Early the next morning, Niu Zida, accompanied by Joel and Ningguang, negotiated with Julianus again. This time, the previous conditions were brought up once more. Niu Zida feigned helplessness and said:
"Is there really no way to back down?"
"Your Excellency, this is my bottom line."
Niu Zida certainly wouldn't readily agree to Julianus's conditions, otherwise who knew if Julianus would continue to make excessive new demands? So, Niu Zida's strategy for this round of negotiations was to pretend to be helpless, or even forced into a corner, before agreeing to the conditions. This is also an art of negotiation.
"Okay, I'll think about it some more... This is too difficult for me..."
"It's nothing. I've said before that the Viscount can stay here as long as he wants. You are a friend of the Kumani family forever."
Julianus seemed unhurried, displaying an air of confidence and concern for his opponent.
After dragging his feet for about three or four days, during his third negotiation with Julianus, Niu Zida finally said with a sigh:
"Is this condition really impossible to change?"
“Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Altaïr is already under your control, so what difference does one more city make?”
"This is no ordinary city."
"Alliance always requires sincerity."
Julianus smiled and said, as if he felt he had Niu Zida completely under his control. Seeing Niu Zida's worried look, he put on a big profit expression, thinking that this time he could definitely make Niu Zida bleed a lot.
“There’s no other way. If you really insist on this, then fine… But… Lord Julianus, in order to show our sincerity, could you send some people to help me besiege Altaïr? The troops can be under the command of Surya.”
Niu Zida feigned extreme distress and reluctantly agreed to Julianus's conditions, while also trying to secure Julianus's support for his frontline operations. Seeing Niu Zida's distress at agreeing to his conditions, Julianus generously said:
"Of course, if we can sign an alliance, I can send you 1000 soldiers to support your frontline operations."
"Okay... sigh, this time I'm really going to bleed a lot."
"Don't say that. We've also sacrificed a lot to support you."
Hearing Julianus's sarcastic remarks, Niu Zida deliberately put on a bitter smile, as if he had suffered a loss.
Chapter 873
.
As previously agreed, Niu Zida and Yulianus signed a secret agreement. Niu Zida obtained the right to military passage through the territory of the Kumani family and the right to procure provisions. Yulianus would send 1000 men to support the front-line battle, with command of this force in the hands of Sulia. In return, Niu Zida ceded the territory from Tras Town to Altay City, and control of Altay City would be handed over to the Kumani family.
"Is Julianus sending 1000 men more likely for the purpose of being the first to take over Altaic City?"
After signing the secret agreement, Niu Zida and Julianus held a simple dinner before leaving Kuyelburg. On the carriage, Niu Zida couldn't help but complain about Julianus.
At Ningguang's suggestion, it was best not to make the secret agreement between the two sides public. Julianus agreed, feeling it was better not to let outsiders think that he had taken Altaïr from someone else for free, especially from goblins. After all, he always considered himself a knight and valued his reputation highly. Even without being told directly, Niu Zida knew that Julianus still had a sense of superiority over him.
"But we've achieved our goal, so that's good."
Ningguang hugged Niu Zida, kissed him on the forehead, and continued with a smile:
"Furthermore, after the Kumani family's army arrived this time, my suggestion was to place this force under the command of Surya and have it engage in more battles with the Altaic nobles. This would allow the Altaic military nobles to transfer their hatred towards us to the Kumani family as much as possible..."
"Wouldn't this harm Su Liya?"
“Master, what’s the big deal? Even if the Kumani family has declined, Sulia will still be your slave.”
Ningguang's plan was essentially a golden knife strategy, designed to exploit Su Liya's dual identity for her own use. Niu Zida also understood that although this would harm Su Liya, it would make it easier to control her in the future.
"Never mind, Julianus forced me to do this."
"Moreover, if the master wins, Julianus, as an ally, will still gain significant political benefits. It is quite reasonable to let the Kumani family share the master's burdens now."
