That's very badass

Chapter 136 Willingness to negotiate peace
"Okay, I understand what you mean. If any of you want to die, you can leave directly. I believe that the army of the Kingdom of Hastings will like such a person very much.

If we want to surrender, then everyone must at least maintain unity on the surface, instead of focusing on their own affairs like now.

In a state of disunity and without the protection of the army, do you really think that Sabotai dare not attack you? "

Seeing that these nobles were preparing to leave regardless, His Majesty Quesnel was obviously very angry. He no longer cared about the issue of face and directly told them what they might encounter next.

After speaking, he went directly to the door of the big tent, and lifted the curtain for everyone, as if asking everyone to do their own thing.

Looking at the opened door curtain, everyone felt embarrassed for a moment. They knew that now was not the time to fight inside, so they retracted their steps and silently came to their seats and sat down again.

Roland also sat down under the pull of Earl Brando, but he looked very irritable.

Seeing this, His Majesty Quesnel put down the door curtain, returned to his seat and sat up.

"Count Roland, I didn't say you, so you can't restrain your temper, no matter what you say, everyone is a whole.

As for the one who left, the young master of the Terry family, he is even more of an idiot, idiot, whoever will get him back, otherwise everyone should not think about peace talks today. "

His Majesty Quesnel originally planned to play [-] big boards on each side, but he changed his words when he found that Roland's face was not good, and then he realized that he was going to call that idiot back, so he ended the conversation hastily.

As long as the Hastings Wang Kingdom finds out that someone has left their army, they will know the fact that there is discord within the Rhodes Kingdom. It will be a dream to talk about peace at that time, and the enemy will definitely not give up this good teaching.

Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, the young master of the Corey family came back.

It turned out that he woke up as soon as he left, so he stayed outside the tent and did not leave, preparing to see what His Majesty would say.

After hearing those words, he struggled for a long time before preparing to come back. It was okay at first, because His Majesty was scolding Count Roland, but as soon as he came in, he heard the words calling him a fool.

He wanted to leave, but he didn't dare. He believed that the knights of the family would not allow him to leave the army like this, and there were several younger brothers under him.

They have coveted his position as the heir for a long time, and he doesn't want to keep this handle, which is why he is still standing here.

Looking at Master Corey standing there, His Majesty Quesnel only felt a headache, and he was caught calling someone stupid behind his back.

"Okay, just sit down when you get back. Regarding the peace talks, everyone is ready to express their stance."

There have been too many surprises today. His Majesty Knell simply stopped saying anything else and directly asked everyone to express their opinions.

Naturally, there were voices of approval, and even Roland agreed. He was greedy for the experience and reputation, but he didn't want to fight with a group of teammates who didn't want to fight.

"In that case, let's go, and I will arrange related matters."

His Majesty Quesnel left here directly after finishing speaking, and he became angry when he saw these people; what's more, it was in the king's interest that the nobles themselves had conflicts, otherwise they might unite to dismiss him.

Thinking of this, the annoyance in His Majesty Knell's heart disappeared. This Roland was really his lucky star.

After seeing His Majesty leave, everyone also felt bored, and left here one after another and returned to their respective tents.

"Count Roland, thank you for today's matter. If you hadn't arrived in time, maybe my old bone would have been thrown on the battlefield directly."

As soon as Roland left the big tent, he was followed by Earl Brando, who had been waiting for an opportunity to thank Roland.

"You're welcome, Count Brando. We're both from the north. This is just what I should do. What's more, didn't you help me just now?"

After speaking, Roland laughed and hugged Earl Brando, "Haha, well said, because we are both from the north, so we have to help each other."

After saying that, the two people left directly. They had no intention of drinking and celebrating, because they would still face blackmail from the Kingdom of Hastings.

After returning to the camp, Andal saw that Roland was a little unhappy, so he asked him what was wrong, and Roland immediately said that they were going to negotiate a peace, or surrender.

Andal was not surprised at all after hearing this, because he knew the character of these nobles very well, and he had already seen this scene before on the battlefield.

"This is normal. Judging from the battlefield, the coalition of nobles is not strong enough to resist the enemy's coalition. After Shabotai sent his royal army to prepare for the final decision, His Majesty also sent the royal army to fight.

It was just because the soldiers on both sides had to withdraw their troops due to exhaustion, this experience of hanging by a thread awakened everyone and let them know that they did not have the ability to fight the enemy.

His Majesty doesn't want to lose too much of his royal army to reduce his control over the kingdom, while the nobles see no hope of invading the enemy's country and plundering the land.

They have always been like this, otherwise there would not be conflicts in the kingdom. "

After hearing Andal's words, Roland understood the truth. In essence, the king is just a larger noble.

Whether it was the noble assembly before the war or the meeting preparing for peace, it represented that the power of this kingdom was extremely dispersed, and the king could not make any decisions based on his own preferences.

They depend on each other, supervise each other, manage the country together, and do things that are beneficial to the survival of the kingdom.

This is also the disadvantage of the enfeoffment system. Every noble is an independent individual, and they rule their own land separately. It is not so much that they are nobles, but rather that they are small kings.

The nobles can amend the laws in their own territories, and they are subordinate to each other. In theory, everyone is a subordinate of the king, but the king may not necessarily be able to command them.

This also caused them to swarm up to one thing as long as it was profitable, and scrambled to be the first.

But as long as they encounter a setback, they will naturally choose to give up because of their own interests, and even the king is not immune.

Because the most important thing for the king is the stability of his rule, and the royal legion is his greatest force guarantee, and it is precisely because of this far superior armed force that he can firmly control the kingdom.

Any major loss would expose him to challenges from within the family, and possible constraints from the nobility.

If he loses the royal legion that he relies on for survival, civil wars will be easy among the lords, and even between the royal family and the lords, and the kingdom will be divided.

The division of the First Empire was caused by the fact that the nobles were too powerful.

This is also the reason why the Royal Legion is generally used as the finale. If the battle continues, the Royal Legion will also cause large-scale casualties. This is the reason why His Majesty decided to negotiate a peace.

Of course, the nobles' emphasis on interests is also indispensable.

"This is also a good thing. There is nothing to be angry about. Our territory is far in the north, and we are still facing the threat of orcs at this moment. This is at least beneficial to us.

The kingdom has preserved most of its strength, at least it can make it easier for us to face the threat of orcs, can't it? "

"You are right, this may be the best comfort for now."

After saying that, Roland went directly into the camp and lay down on the bed. He felt very tired now. If there was anything more annoying than a pig teammate, it would be a group of pig teammates.

Hastings Kingdom camp, in the king's tent.

Similar to the situation in the Kingdom of Rhodes, their situation is not very good, because spies from the other two countries have discovered their true and false identities and learned that they are a group of new recruits at the border.

They can even imagine how happy the two countries will be after knowing this situation, but their army is currently dragged here by the Kingdom of Rhodes.

This is also the reason why His Majesty Shabotai was eager to make a final decision before. They are also facing a new crisis.

And the Rhodes Kingdom is not as weak as it looks, at least compared to the enemies in Fortress Lite, the enemies in front of them make them feel more troublesome.

It's not that they can't defeat the enemy, on the contrary, they can defeat the enemy, but it will take a lot of time, because the enemy's toughness is not much different from theirs, which can be seen from the fact that they both fought to exhaustion.

Even if they win, it will cause them quite a lot of losses. The so-called miserable victory is like this.

If the battle cannot be resolved before winter, then they are likely to be invaded by the coalition forces of the two countries. This is not allowed. After all, their land is much more fertile than that of the Rhodes Kingdom.

It is used for exchange, no matter how you look at it, it is something they lose money.

But they wanted to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Rhodes as an advantage, and they couldn't let go of this face. If they were asked to withdraw directly from here, they couldn't let go of the land they had already occupied, which made them in a dilemma.

Their monarchs and ministers are all sitting here, thinking sadly how to eat up the occupied land, but for the present, it seems that they can only continue to fight.

Fight until the Kingdom of Rhodes is willing to negotiate a peace.

And at this moment, the guards also reported that the envoys from the Kingdom of Rhodes were coming, which made them look at each other in blank dismay. Did the enemy already know their situation? Such thoughts lingered in their hearts and could not be dispelled for a long time.

"Did they already know our situation? Are they here to laugh at us?"

"No, it's impossible for them to get the information so quickly. The Rhodes Kingdom's spy power there must be inferior to the other two countries, and even the other two countries have just obtained this information.

It is obviously impossible for them to obtain it so quickly, and the other two countries will not spread such news to them. They hope that we will be held back by the Kingdom of Rhodes.

Only in this way can they encroach on more of our land.

According to my analysis, there is a great possibility that they came to negotiate a peace. After all, they are almost about to flee today. "

Listening to His Majesty Sha Botai's words, everyone instantly understood all of this, but they were still a little embarrassed about his last words. Yes, as long as they persisted, the enemy might be completely defeated.

It's just that war has never had ifs, it has only facts.

"Your Majesty Sabote, my lords, hello."

After the envoy arrived, he was the first to greet everyone present, and saluted them with a very low posture, which made their minds alive instantly.

"I'm just representing our willingness to discuss peace with you."

As expected, the envoy's next words made them immediately let go of their concerns.

They immediately showed joy, and quickly suppressed it, but the messenger kept his head down and didn't notice all this.

However, the real situation is that there are so many people in the big tent, how could it be possible not to see it? The Viscount Mandalay saw all this with just a short glance. This made him breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't show it.

"What the hell, how can there be peace?"

"We will be able to defeat you in no time, why do we have to leave so much land, and treat us as fools?"

"."

Accompanied by their ravings, the envoy lowered his head more and more. He kept cursing those damned nobles in his heart, but he was humiliated by his ineffectiveness in fighting.

"Okay, the visitor is a guest, and you don't want to be humiliated like this as an envoy one day."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, His Majesty Sha Baitai immediately stopped their acting, he didn't want to humiliate the enemy and fight them to the death.

"Humph, since His Majesty has spoken, forget it."

Seeing His Majesty Shabotai's appreciative gaze, the noble immediately straightened up, which also taught the other nobles to learn a trick.

And someone immediately asked, "Since we are here to discuss peace, have you brought our Count Bakar?"

It's just that these words quickly made the envoy speechless. The release of prisoners is generally not something to talk about after the war is over.

Seeing the envoy covered in cold sweat, His Majesty Shabotai glared at the idiot, and had no choice but to say: "Since you are here to negotiate a peace, what are the conditions you are preparing for? You can't just say nothing."

Seeing that His Majesty Shabotai finally brought the issue back on track, the envoy said: "We are willing to give up the land occupied by your country, and hope to use this as a boundary so that the two countries can rebuild."

"You don't have any sincerity when you say that, this is the land we occupied, why should you give it up, there is no sincerity at all.

In that case, guards, see you off. "

Hearing the words of His Majesty Shabotai seeing off the guests, the emissary didn't say a word, because he knew that this was just a test, to see the other party's reaction, and there was no possibility of reaching a condition.

He just came to convey his willingness to negotiate peace. The specific matters were originally for the kings of the two sides to discuss. To put it bluntly, he just came to test whether the other party was willing to negotiate peace.

"Then I'll take my leave, Your Majesty Shabotai. Since you have a desire for peace talks, I'd rather let you discuss the specific matters directly with His Majesty Quesnel."

Seeing that the envoy had comprehended his wish for peace talks, His Majesty Sha Botai nodded noncommittally, as he agreed to his words.
