The major clans were also famous figures in Ewentra Archipelago. One of them was Connar, the head of Rainard Clan in Arkray Island; the other was Brightman, the head of Willis Clan in Gantiadu Island.
Both of them were over sixty years old. In this era, this age was the golden age of many men's lives.
If Zhang Tie did not appear, both Connar and Brightman would be popular candidates for the president of Ewentra Archipelago Parliament. Connar, the head of Rainard Clan was the most important driving force of Ewentra Archipelago Parliament.
At the sight of Connar, Zhang Tie glanced at this guy seriously for a short while — — greyish brown hair, high hooknose, deep eye sockets and strong chin. At the sight of him, Zhang Tie knew that he was not a simple figure.
Compared to Connar, Brightman, the head of Willis Clan in Gantiadu Island was like a pampered engineer — — in glasses, he looked gentle and almost harmless.
Of course, Zhang Tie would not treat Brightman as a harmless engineer — — Willis Clan in Gantiadu Island was still the ally of Spencer Clan in Ewentra Archipelago. The relationship between the two clans was very close. Of course, those clans who were qualified to be the ally of Spencer Clan were not ordinary.
"Your Excellency Peter, this is the condition that all the major clans in Ewentra Archipelago have reached. If you agree with this condition, we will carry it out. If not, we will fight Ice and Snow Wilderness in order to defend the interests of our respective clans in Ewentra Archipelago at a great cost! " Connar said as he put a document with the signatures of all the participants in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie opened the document politely. Actually, he had long known the contents of the document. As the owner of Navyblue Castle and the coordinator between Zhang Tie and the major clans of Ewentra Archipelago, Ms. Olina had long contacted the representatives of the major clans in Navyblue Castle for many times over the past 2 days. Ms. Olina had long figured out the bottom line of these major clans in Ewentra Archipelago.
This document was the condition and bottom line of these major clans across Ewentra Archipelago. If Zhang Tie didn't agree with it, over 70% of the major clans would evacuate from Ewentra Archipelago and establish the exiled parliament of Ewentra Archipelago on the Western Continent. They would constantly bring troubles to Ice and Snow Wilderness. He was wasting time with himself. This was indeed very difficult to deal with.
He proposed to form an exile parliament overseas to drag it out with him. It was Connell, the head of the Reynold Clan.
"1/2 of North Wind Fleet and the same number of allied fleets of Ewentra Archipelago will decide the future of Ewentra Archipelago. If North Wind Fleet wins, all the clans and islands of Ewentra Archipelago will submit to me unconditionally. If the allied fleet wins, all the other islands of Ewentra Archipelago will remain unchanged except for Saint Herner Island. Ice and Snow Wilderness will not seek to annex the other parts of Ewentra Archipelago anymore." Zhang Tie glanced at the contents of the document. Then he raised his eyes to look at Connor and Brightman, "These are your conditions! It had to be said. You're really considerate! "Zhang Tie revealed a smile, not knowing whether it was an agreement or an irony.
Although this condition seemed fair, it was actually unfair to the North Wind Fleet. Honestly speaking, the North Wind Fleet, which had been established for less than 5 years, was inferior to the Ewentra Archipelago Alliance Fleet in terms of the quality of its personnel, which had been established for less than 5 years.
This condition was carefully prepared for the consequence of North Wind Fleet's failure. Firstly, if Zhang Tie failed, Ice and Snow Wilderness would only lose half of North Wind Fleet. Secondly, Zhang Tie could keep his control over Saint Herner Island. In this way, Zhang Tie could step down "decently"; instead of taking risks out of anger.
"This condition is to have a duel between fleets without the participation of knight-level powerhouses of Ice and Snow Wilderness!" Connell said frankly, "Ewentra Archipelago is a place that worships the sea. Each one here has a special feeling about the sea. They would also admire the real brave who could conquer the sea. If Ice and Snow Wilderness wants to annex Ewentra Archipelago, unless Ice and Snow Wilderness shows us its power on the sea, we will not really yield to it. If they want to conquer Ewentra Archipelago by pure force, they could only leave Ice and Snow Wilderness in ruins! There's a long-lasting proverb in Ewentra Archipelago. I think you've heard it, Your Excellency! "
"What proverb?"
"Knights could conquer the land; however, they could not conquer the sea!"
Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile. It was indeed true for common knights. In this world, the sea was much wider than that of the land. Even though knights could fly, their flight ability would be greatly reduced on the sea. Because most of the knights could only fly over 1,000 miles. On the contrary, fleets had greater maneuverability and concealment ability on the sea, which was a greater deterrent to the traffic lifelines and other ships on the sea. Therefore, this proverb was widely spread in Ewentra Archipelago. Of course, it was also a self-comfort of an archipelago which lacked knights. As for Zhang Tie, this proverb was just a joke.
Facing this joke, Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he didn't care about it. Neither did he want to argue with it. Zhang Tie just threw a glance at Brightman, "Does Willis Clan also think so?"
"Besides the interests of Ewentra Archipelago, this bet is more important for the dignity of Ewentra Archipelago. If Your Excellency could have all the clans on Ewentra Archipelago lower their heads towards you in a dignified way, I think it would be a good result for all of us. If we use force to the end, both parties would suffer losses!"
"Dignity?" Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "Fine. I agree. I promise that neither I nor the knights of Ice and Snow Wilderness will join the battle. Let the two fleets have a duel in front of everyone. The fleet that survived at sea would be the winner! However, I have a condition... "
"What's the condition?"
"I hope it's the fleet of Rainard Clan that could fight half of North Wind Fleet. I know that Rainard Clan could participate in such a bet due to its scale and battle strength!"
Connor's eyes lit up, but he still maintained a smile on his face. "I agree! But I have to warn you, Your Excellency. In order to guarantee the fairness of this bet, all the major clans on Ewentra Archipelago have already joined hands to pay 200 million gold coins as the deposit of this bet. We invite Golden Roc Bank to be the guarantor of this bet! "
After hearing this, Zhang Tie felt that these major clans on Ewentra Archipelago were really f * cking rich. In order to prevent Zhang Tie from being cheated, these guys even paid 200 million gold coins as the deposit of this bet. They even got Golden Roc Bank to be the guarantor of this bet. Zhang Tie was indeed scheming. It seemed that he was sure to win the bet. If Zhang Tie won the bet, Golden Roc Bank would also supervise these major clans on Ewentra Archipelago to fulfill the bet.
Generally, Golden Roc Bank would not intervene in such a battle between territories and forces. However, if it was a contract, it would be different.
However, such a contract was definitely a big bet.
After thinking about it with a solemn look, Zhang Tie replied, "No problem, I agree!"
After hearing this reply, Connar couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. Even Brightman's eyes contained something else, which was more like a faint sigh about Zhang Tie's age, wisdom and judgment.
Not until Connar and Brightman left the room did Zhang Tie reveal a faint smile, which gradually turned brilliant...
'If you want to play, let's play a bigger one! '
Zhang Tie's eyes turned extremely profound at once...
...
A side door of the room was slowly opened while Ms. Olina in black skirt walked towards Zhang Tie with a bit worried look. Just now, she was listening to Zhang Tie on one side.
"This bet is very dangerous!" Ms. Olina told Zhang Tie.
"Is this your office room in Navyblue Castle? It's nice." Zhang Tie looked around the room as he changed the topic.
Ms. Olina's face blushed as she asked, "Don't you worry about that at all?"
"Why should I worry about that?" Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he faintly put his arms around Ms. Olina, "Do you want to make money? Make a lot of money?"
Ms. Olina became stunned as she didn't understand Zhang Tie's meaning, "What did you say?"
"Hmm, now that I'm the boss, you're my beautiful secretary who wants to seduce me. As a commercial spy, if you want to know such important business information from the boss, what do you think you'll do?" Zhang Tie said with a solemn look as he sat down on the chair casually.
Ms. Olina's ears turned a bit red as her eyes gradually turned watery and enchanting …
...
Two hours later, Elder Turin and Elder Gouras stood in front of Zhang Tie with worried looks. Zhang Tie told the two elders, "I will not explain anything. I just want to tell you that from now on, you should try your best to make money in the name of huge bear tribe or iron bear tribe. Get as much as you can in gold coins, loans, mortgages, financing or the right of taking delivery of gold. As long as there's a chance to make a fortune in front of you, it depends on how much you could make. I promise that you could at least double the amount of money in 10 days."
The two Elders were stunned ….
...
On October 2nd, the moment the news about this bet spread, it shocked the entire Ewentra Archipelago and the entire Ice and Snow Wilderness. Everybody was guessing whether Ice and Snow Wilderness or Ewentra Archipelago would win this bet...
On October 3rd, Golden Roc Bank started to be the banker in Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago and started to accept bets from all parties...
