Lord of Lowland

Chapter 521 Conspiracy
Thinking of this, King Rex slowly said to the great priest Clifford: "If you want to negotiate a peace, you must cede a province in the east to us, otherwise, the peace negotiation will be out of the question!" King Rex Although he spoke slowly, his tone was unmistakable.

Clifford, however, knew that King Rex needed the Eluk Empire to make a final compromise on this issue, and give him some face, otherwise it would be a shame for him to give up under the pressure of such a large army. Psychologically, I can’t get over it. In fact, the province that King Rex wanted in the end was not only extremely small, but also deserted and uninhabited. It was of no value at all. The reason why King Rex wanted him was entirely out of face .He knew that this was a condition acceptable to the Eluk Empire, so he dared to propose it. In fact, this was the final mutual compromise between the two parties.

Priest Clifford smiled and said: "Okay, there is no problem. If this is the case, I can make the decision. Our emperor has given me the right to dispose of it before I leave the imperial capital, including the cession of land. Besides, we are defeated now. I don't think there will be any opinions within the empire if we ceded such a piece of land, if the king has no opinion, can we sign the contract?" After finishing speaking, Clifford slightly raised his hand, and the light contract appeared In front of King Rex's eyes.

The signing of the contract should have been done in a formal hall, and then the supreme commanders or representatives of both parties would lead a formal delegation, hold a grand ceremony, and then sign the contract, but the current King Rex obviously no longer has such a mood Well, the matter of Cecil made him worry a lot, and there was nothing to be happy about this kind of victory. He looked at the contract disheartened, and then signed the agreement directly.

When High Priest Clifford saw that King Rex had signed the contract, a big stone fell from his heart. His current troubles were not much less than that of King Rex. After all, Cecil was directly targeting them, Eru. In the Ke Empire, after so many battles, the prestige of the Dawn Temple in the upper echelons of the Ailuk Empire has fallen again and again, and it has simply hit the bottom.What's more important is that after this incident, Prince Maisar seemed to have completely lost confidence in himself. Regardless of the huge gap between him and Cecil, or the fact that he relied on his sister to hand over the artifact to save his life, it had a huge impact on his self-confidence. After a series of failures, this proud man almost lost confidence in himself.

Now the depressed prince drank his sorrows with wine every day, and was drunk day by day. Facing the decadence of the prince he supported, a small group of nobles who originally supported him had all taken refuge in Prince Mengshua.Priest Clifford is also very anxious. It's not that he hasn't thought about supporting Prince Mengshua again, but it's too late for you to change the court now. For Prince Mengshua, your position is almost too late. There is no room for you to live at all, and even though Prince Mesar is so decadent, Emperor Roland does not seem to change his support for him, and now Grand Priest Clifford is also in a dilemma.

After signing the contract, King Rex waved his hand to signal High Priest Clifford to leave, but the High Priest showed no intention of leaving. King Rex couldn't help but become alert: "I don't know if the High Priest is still here." Is there something wrong? Isn't it rude to me that you, a great priest, want to become an assassin today?"

Clifford, who asked this question, couldn’t laugh or cry. After all, Clifford is also the number one person in the Temple of Dawn on this continent. In terms of power, he may not be much worse than the king, but he was called an assassin by King Rex , This in itself is an insult to the great priest, and even an insult to the Temple of Dawn and the Lord of Dawn.But Clifford didn't pay attention to these, he blurted out a question he cared about: "I don't want to leave because I want to ask His Majesty the King, after we reconcile, how do you plan to treat Earl Cecil? Don't forget what we just said Talking, Earl Cecil now belongs to the kind of person whose ambition does not match his strength. But compared with the extremely difficult to increase strength, a person's ambition is extremely easy to breed, especially when he has strength, there will be various Therefore, it does not take too long for ambition to match strength, but where will you go after King Rex? Is it to pass your king's seat to Earl Cecil?"

King Rex was stunned for a while after hearing this sentence. The reason why he reached an agreement with the Aluk Empire so easily was that he was afraid that Cecil would occupy the entire Eluk Empire all the way. Although he only has two knights in his hands.But those undead troops are endless.This kind of power is something that King Rex never dared to imagine.But even if Cecil is brought back now, can they really solve Cecil's current terrifying strength?King Rex had thought about countless solutions in his mind just now, but none of them seemed to really solve the problem.After all, Cecil is strong in strength, and in the face of absolute strength, any clever plan seems a little hopeless.

Seeing that King Rex didn't say anything, the priest Clifford said leisurely: "This is the reason why I stayed, the powerful power of Earl Cecil is no longer a headache for you alone, His Majesty the King. , and our empire also feels very headache. This is the most important reason why we don't hesitate to cede territory for peace. He is already our common enemy, and his strength is too strong, so we don't have any good means, but It’s not that there is no way at all, but it must be implemented step by step, and the help of His Majesty the King is needed, this is the value of this contract.”

King Rex's eyes lit up when he heard that Clifford had a way to deal with Cecil.He looked eagerly at the great priest.

The High Priest Clifford saw the eagerness of the king looking at him, smiled and said: "The strength of Earl Cecil is not only due to himself, but also because he has two powerful allies by his side, but He and the necromancer are just using each other. According to the reliable information obtained by the empire, after they each achieved their goals, the necromancer has nothing to do with him, so we only need to deal with him and the dragon vein warlock. .”
