The knight king of the otherworldly moon

From the perspective of the relationship between the two countries, if France were to choose, they would definitely hate Britain more than Rome.

Seeing this, Lucretius said this as a reason.

"You thought I'd be afraid of him! Speaking of which, you Rome dared to send messengers over, and you couldn't even handle a little Britain."

Pepin is still very strong.

He finally got the opportunity to be in power now, so he naturally needs to show his authority more.

Facing the prince in front of him, Lucretius' expression became more and more...respectful.

He continued speaking from a different angle.

"Of course not, your valiant highness.

It's just whether your servants can be as brave as you.

Oh! I almost forgot, His Royal Highness Charlemagne in the north is your brother, and he may be as brave as you, and if he continues to fight, he may be victorious and his name will be remembered throughout the country."

Since Britain has no effect for the time being, it will be replaced by Charlemagne.

Before coming here, Lucretius had done his homework.

His words made Pepin fall into silence.

"..."

That's right! He may not worry about Britain's problems, but he must worry about Charlemagne's problems.

The king's body has not yet recovered, and it is not even possible that he will recover. He must consider the consequences of Charlemagne's power.

Otherwise, once Charlemagne's military power is in hand, even if he becomes king, that's fine.

Thinking of this, Pepin began to seriously consider the possibility of withdrawing troops.

It's just that he didn't want to withdraw the troops so easily, at least to get some benefits, or even make people think they won.

After Pepin was silent, Bismarck came out.

"According to the information I have received, your country is already devastated by Thunder Emperor's attack in the north, and the King of Britain has just defeated your Western Legion.

The present Roman terror cannot afford another war with France."

Bismarck speaks of Rome's current predicament.

So far, things are not going well in Rome.

It may be an opportunity for France.

But Bismarck also agreed with Lucretius' initial statement that Britain was a big threat.

It might be a wise choice to get a truce to gain the benefits, rather than their war to make Britain take advantage of it.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has been thinking too much, let's not say that the north has already been conquered by me and the great emperor.

In the east, the knight king did not completely defeat the Roman legion, otherwise he would not stop there.

Not to mention, in that battle, Marshal Boudicca of Britain was wounded and temporarily unable to advance eastward."

Lucretius responded calmly to Bismarck.

What he said was the truth, but only with subtle changes in the way he said it.

"I don't doubt the determination of the French warriors, but if this war continues, both countries will waste their national power in vain, and finally make Britain cheaper.

Rather than a war between us, perhaps we can unite to restrain Britain."

Between the words, Lucretius made a rather tempting suggestion.

"That sounds like a good idea."

Pepin was instantly moved.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Bismarck immediately warned.

"Your Highness, our truce with Britain has not yet expired.

The credibility of a country is no better than that of an individual, and once it is lost, it will have a series of adverse reactions, please be careful, Your Highness."

Country and country are not...individuals and individuals, individuals who repent or something, others think this person is shameless at most.

But once the countries backtrack, other countries may not have any peace with you, because with the previous examples, no one will believe that this country can complete the peace.

On this continent, this approach will not only discredit the king, but also plunge the country into the abyss of dishonesty.

Afterwards, even if you lose the battle, the other party may not even want to talk to you.

"I know, I know.

exactly.

It's just Britain, I don't need Rome, I can do it by myself.

Britain, which is a great threat to you Rome, is nothing to me at all."

Pepin's mind is still sober now, and he has not agreed to break the contract.

This inevitably made Lucretius feel a little pity.

Just when the conversation seemed to be about to come to an end, another nobleman stood up.

"My compatriots, I think that the advice of the Roman envoy can be seriously considered."

Marla felt it was time for her to make a contribution.

"This man is"

Lucretius didn't know this... he went offline and asked curiously.

"Marla, Earl of Lorraine."

"Marla, tell me what you think."

Pepin thought for a while, and said.

"Gentlemen, there is only one reason why I find Rome's proposal acceptable.

Because in my eyes, Britain is the...biggest trouble.

Have you forgotten, the shame of Chen Bing, the former king of Britain, that made us panic."

Marla began to use the previous incident to draw hatred for Britain.

His words really resonated with many people. Before thinking about it carefully, especially the aristocrats in the east, some of them were played like monkeys, and they were even put into the circus for people to watch.

Lucifer's previous actions were equivalent to slapping them in the face. It was fine if they didn't say it, but as soon as they said it, their hatred for Lucifer rose rapidly.

"We haven't forgotten, but it's a different thing from now."

Bismarck responded calmly.

"The Prime Minister has a noble character, and I deeply respect it.

But it seems to me that... one thing, two years ago, he beat us, a few months ago, he was still: threatening us.

Now, he has defeated the Roman legions again.

It is conceivable that if we can't find a way to contain him, once he starts to attack again, we may face a huge trouble.

In other words, how many times of past humiliation will we endure in the next two years.

We can no longer allow Britons to do whatever they want."

Marla raised her arms high and spoke her hatred for Britain.

He was originally from a nobleman in the west, and it is normal to hate Britain.

Others were immediately brought into rhythm.

"Yes! Can't let: the Britons go on doing what they want."

"Yes! Britain is the enemy."

...Looking at the anti-British voice that gradually formed in front of him, Lucretius smiled slightly, and he suddenly felt that the plan seemed to go well unexpectedly.

"There are a lot of people in France who know how to sort things out. It's better to have such a truce..."

However, just when Lucretius was about to say that he could truce, Marla continued to speak.

"Lord Lucretius, the war that I have been trapped in the north for many years is not what the king wants to see.

It's just that we spent so much manpower and material resources, and now we are about to win, but you asked us to withdraw from the war.

Don't you think it's very funny?"

Having said this, everyone understands that when it comes to negotiating conditions, if the conditions are good, everything is easy to say, and if the negotiation is not good, they can also smoothly refuse.

They just hate it after all.

Britain, did not agree to retreat.

"It's not funny.

Instead of withdrawing voluntarily, France withdraws from the war for the sake of friendship between the two countries.

To express our sincerity, we are willing to give up the land twenty miles south of the fortress, to recognize it as the domain of France, and to pay thirty thousand gold coins as proof of friendship."

Lucretius laid out his own terms.

But it was immediately refuted by Bismarck.

"not enough...!"

"..."

"For land ten miles away, pay 15 gold coins at the same time."

Bismarck's lion opened his mouth and more than doubled his chips at once.

"Yes! Otherwise we would never take a step back."

Pepin also immediately agreed.

"..."

Just as Lucretius was thinking, Marla on the other side also said in a timely manner.

"No! There should be an additional condition."

"I don't know what conditions"

"France may withdraw, but only if Rome will then go north and defeat Britain.

No, forget it, it might be a little embarrassing for you to say defeat.

But you will bring Britain back into the Victory Fortress, and our treaty will take effect."

Marla's condition made Bismarck feel bright.

This condition is equivalent to letting Britain play instead of France, and now France's benefits are also coming.

"Um.

I agree with Marra's suggestion to hand over half of the war settlement money, we will withdraw our troops immediately, and then if the above conditions are met ... the treaty will be voided."

Bismarck immediately thought it was feasible.

Of course, besides these benefits, the biggest reason why he agrees is that he doesn't want to see Lucifer's expansion.

According to the information he has collected, the alliance of Lucifer the Red Emperor this time is likely to expand the territory.

".... Prime Minister, it is you who won.

I agree to this condition and can now declare it on the spot.

Presumably the King of France is not the kind of country that goes back on its word."

"of course not!"

This contract on the armistice is completed when both parties can accept it.

Bismarck didn't want to see the expansion of Britain, Marla was an insider, and Pepin didn't want to see his younger brother take power, and finally Lucretius needed to liberate his troops from the southern battlefield.

It can be said that the various key personnel got what they wanted.
