The knight king of the otherworldly moon

In this plan, those generals are only their own obstacles.

I need them to die to be of value, not to live.

Having said that, Aristotle finally realized that he still underestimated the... young king in front of him.

In other words, at the age when he could almost be Lucifer's grandfather, he never really looked at Lucifer.

"I understand.

Kill them then and you'll have one less chip in the armistice later on.

Where the weak you think about how to preserve your strength, so they can survive.

I underestimated you."

There was a sigh in Aristotle's words.

He used to think that age people are the least... mature and best controlled.

But now it seems that he is completely wrong.

No matter what other people are like, he is at least sure that this... Wang is not like this.

He is kind on the surface, but when he should be cruel, he will never be soft-hearted. This decisiveness is daunting.

"It should be said that my age makes you never see me clearly."

Saying that, Lucifer included the other kings and sages.

Everyone thinks that this... Wang who is only over 20 years old is still too young, inexperienced, and will make mistakes in judgment.

But it is this sense of superiority that comes from age that gives them their fatal weakness.

"After I saw your actions before, I subconsciously thought that you were too kind and did not have the decisiveness to be the king.

This decisiveness turns out that you already have it, but we have not found it.

Whether it is me or the king, or Seneca, or even Caligula."

Aristotle also looked at Lucifer as his equal old fox.

"It's just that a person who is too perfect as a knight cannot become a king, you should see this sooner.

Tell me about your conditions.

I hope it will satisfy me.”

Lucifer did not continue the topic, but went straight to the topic.

"Macedonia stepped back from the front, ceded the fortress of Tekris and the surrounding territory of an earl, and recognized all British power in the Papal State.

But this treaty can only be signed in secret."

Aristotle confidently stated his condition, he believed that Lucifer would not refuse this attractive condition.

However... "is that just the way it is"

Lucifer said with a smile.

no.511 Don't be too greedy

The sudden rhetorical question stunned Aristotle, and he began to wonder if his purpose was seen through by Lucifer.

In fact, this condition of his looks very favorable, and it can even be said that he has given away a big bargain, but there is an unknown sinister intention hidden in it.

The ceded fortress is different from the territory and France, France has disappeared, so Britain has become the real ruler, and no one objected.

But Macedonia has not disappeared, and the people who live there will miss the conquering king.

In addition, if Britain is stationed here, more supplies will be a problem, and less will be unsafe.

This will become a problem.

Even with a large number of Lucifer garrisoned here, Macedonia can take advantage of the people's advantages and be able to pit Britain.

So, this free land is actually a bomb.

Because with Lucifer's current strength, it's not easy to guard it even if he wants it.

Even after he was ready to agree with Lucifer, he would find a way to leave the fortress to the back door or something.

However, Lucifer seemed to have little interest at this time.

"This does not satisfy His Majesty, and His Majesty is too greedy."

Aristotle said this on the surface, but in his heart he was ready to continue digging holes for Lucifer.

However, just when he thought that Lucifer was not satisfied, Lucifer said something that shocked him.

"Are you greedy?

To be honest, I never hide my liking for what I like, and I desperately want to hold the woman I like in my arms.

But this time, the sage misunderstood me."

"Misunderstand"

"Macedonia has been defeated three times. If you still use this method to force you to give up the fortress, and even the land next to it, it will seem a little inhumane to me.

The other kings might think that I want to kill them all."

Lucifer smiled and deliberately said words that were very in line with his benevolent monarch.

Be happy, be happy.

Hope you'll be able to laugh after a while.

"Your Majesty means."

At this time, Aristotle thought that Lucifer was really a chivalrous man, and when he was going to give him a great favor, Lucifer continued.

"Fortresses and lands are free.

In exchange, Macedonia paid a ransom equal to the fortress and the land.

Things remain the same in the Papal States.

Even I will publicly declare my misunderstanding with Macedonia to show my sincerity.

Under this condition, will the sage think that I am greedy?"

On the surface, Lucifer's words were indeed a gift.

Using money to redeem land is not uncommon in this day and age.

Faced with the choice between land and money, most nobles and kings would choose land over money.

After all, if the money is gone, taxes can be collected, and if the land is gone, it is really gone.

However, this is contrary to what Aristotle thought.

"This..., Your Majesty, there is not so much money in our treasury for the time being."

Aristotle's joy gradually turned: cold.

Now he is a little unclear whether Lucifer simply loves money, or whether he sees through his secret scheme.

If he simply loves money, he feels a little different.

He has investigated Lucifer's life, and although he doesn't usually mean to be frugal, his life as a king is indeed the most ordinary of the seven kings.

But if you say you don't like money, the other party seems to like money more than land.

"no problem.

If I don't have money, I also accept other people's substitutes, such as food, or magic prism, magic iron ore, etc. Well, medicinal herbs such as blood clotting grass are also good.

But after all, these things are not as shiny as gold coins, so they need an extra layer."

Lucifer randomly said some supplies.

These materials all need the very important kind... The magic prism is related to the magician, the ore is a must for casting high-quality weapons, and the final blood clotting grass is the supplies for making medicine.

Macedonia has just finished a game and needs these things.

"Don't your Majesty feel that your request is too much?"

Aristotle said directly to Lucifer.

"Excessive? It seems that we have not reached a consensus."

"The consensus is based on a range acceptable to both parties, but His Majesty's conditions clearly exceed this range."

Aristotle could not accept such conditions.

"is that so"

Lucifer asked rhetorically with interest.

Then got a pretty positive one.

"Yes!"

"The sage just wanted to plot my tactics and said again.

Originally, I thought that I would be tolerant and ignore the sage's plot, and the sage would understand his gaffe, and then repay my kindness.

Now it looks like I'm going to be wrong."

With a smile, Lucifer naturally dismantled the careful thinking in Aristotle's conditions.

Lucifer's words made Aristotle fall into complete silence.

"..."

He really saw through it! The voice in his heart sounded, and sweat began to appear on Aristotle's forehead.

"Well, it was my mistake.

Maybe I shouldn't expect a peaceful solution to the problem at hand.

Compared with the reminder of words, sword and blood are the lessons that make people remember deeply."

In his words, Lucifer had a gesture of fighting again.

The rain outside the tent is getting heavier and heavier, but it is not as cold as Aristotle's heart at this time.

"Your Majesty is pressing step by step, don't you worry that Macedonia will fight to the death to the end?

At that time, your Majesty's support will not be able to arrive, and the Lyon defenders will not be able to stop the Roman army."

Having said that, Aristotle has completely abandoned his pretense.

"You are threatening me"

There was still a bright smile on Lucifer's face.

You are not qualified to threaten me.

Not only is not enough...qualified, ability is also a bit poor.

Now that he has been seen through the careful thoughts in his heart, Aristotle no longer conceals his thoughts.

He switched to a more radical approach to diplomacy.

Gentle means are useless, and it's time for drastic means to play.

This was deeply experienced in his long life.

Generally speaking, if a king does not like soft words, he may like hard words.

Of course, this kind of love may also be worry and fear.

"No, I just want to remind Your Majesty that a truce between the two countries is good for both of us.

The truce, the two countries are at peace with each other, and the two countries face an unacceptable loss."

At this time, Aristotle put away his face as a kind old man, and behaved more radically than Bismarck before.

Of course, this is also a way of his diplomacy, not nature.

Facing such a tough Aristotle, who seemed to be trying to break the net, Lucifer still didn't change his face.

"Is it really"

Lucifer asked rhetorically.
