Rise of the Empire Total War

Young was the first impression Jacob Herceg, the head of foreign affairs of the Principality of Lasik, saw when he met the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Winster.

But then, this impression was changed, because he found that the king in front of him was not only young, but also full of heroism, exuding the coercion of a superior person, which made Jacob feel very depressed-this feeling, It will only appear when facing His Royal Highness.

Swallowing the saliva secreted by nervousness, Jacob didn't know why he was nervous. The age of the foreign ruler in front of him was only a few years older than his son. Perhaps, it was because of his young age. Just be nervous about the achievements you get.

You know, the young king sitting in front of him, although he was in exile when he was young, led the tiger and wolf army to kill the enemy six years later, regained the kingdom that should belong to him, and defeated the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms by himself , annexing a country and vassalizing another country, forcing the last country to take the initiative to seek peace.

Taking a deep breath, Jacob calmed down the tension in his heart, opened his mouth, and said respectfully: His Majesty King Winster, I am Jacob Herceg, Chief of Foreign Affairs of the Principality of Lasik, and I respect you. By order of the Grand Duke, I have come to offer you a peace treaty.

After the words fell, he added: It's time to end the war. This war has made our people miserable. Countless soldiers died on the battlefield. For the sake of the people of the two countries, please end this war. Damn, Another paragraph is missing! , update the latest chapter as soon as possible!

Hearing Richard's words, Jacob broke out in a cold sweat. How could he not know what his country had done before, whether it was the rebellion against King Alfonso seven years ago, or Richard's support for Ukraine after the restoration? Rif led to independence, and there were them and the Cunya people among them. Now that the Cunya Republic has collapsed, only he, the decimated Lasik Principality, is left. Richard really has no reason to agree to negotiate a peace.

However, he still wanted to fight for it, for his own country. After thinking about it, Jacob came up with a countermeasure, and he said, Your Majesty the King, I deeply apologize to you for the hostile actions that we have participated in against you. You are an enemy, but the Republic of Cunha insists on being hostile to you, as an ally, we can only participate.

Oh? Is that so? said Richard, with no expression on his face, so that Jacob could not guess what was going on in his mind.

That's right. Jacob said without changing his face, Your Majesty the King, in order to express our apology, we are willing to compensate your country for all losses and sign a peace treaty with your country for ten years. Day, I can't watch it and I'm missing a paragraph! Remember for a second, ().

Jacob's face was full of embarrassment. He couldn't hear the meaning behind Richard's words, but he couldn't help it. Although his Grand Duke wanted to negotiate a peace, he didn't want to pay too much. The miserliness was brought into full play by him.

Seeing Jacob's expression, Richard vaguely guessed something, he sneered, and continued: It's very simple to negotiate a peace, first, pay 50,000 silver coins to make up for all our losses, and of course, redeem you The prisoners of war have to pay additional funds; second, cede Odell Fort east of the Luoba River. These are the two conditions.

You just call it that? Jacob complained secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it on the surface. He just showed a embarrassed expression and said, Dear Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can't meet such harsh conditions. accept.

Since you don't accept my conditions, let's continue fighting. Richard did not give him a chance to bargain, and said decisively: The army stationed on the west bank of the Luoba River can cross the Luoba River at any time and fight Lead to your country, if you want to see the flames of war raging in the country, then continue to fight!

Hearing this, Jacob's face changed greatly, and he said quickly: No, Your Majesty, please give us some time to think about it.

I will report this to His Royal Highness.

Okay, I'll give you time. If I don't get the answer I want before September, my army will cross the Luoba River! Richard said firmly.

Giving a deadline was naturally thought of by Richard in order to prevent the Lasik people from delaying the time. Although he was very confident in victory, he did not want to cause unnecessary casualties.

After the negotiation ended, Jacob left quickly. Of course, this departure was not leaving the city of Plange, but returning to the residence of the mission arranged by Governor Marek. Not long after returning, one of the mission members rode He got on a fast horse and left the city. Judging by his appearance, he was returning to the country to report the results of the negotiations to the ruler.

...

Ten days later, the courier sent by Jacob finally rushed back, and he also brought back the answer from Felicias, Grand Duke of Lasik. After receiving the answer, Jacob hurriedly met again through Governor Marek. See Richard, explaining to the latter the Grand Duke's reply.

Your Majesty the King, I have received the instruction of His Royal Highness. Jacob said, The compensation of 50,000 silver coins you proposed is really beyond our acceptance, but in order to express our country's sincerity, His Royal Highness is willing to give When his princess marries you, the two countries will become allies, and at the same time give your country 20,000 silver coins, cede Odellburg and its affiliated territories as a dowry...

???

Richard was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Jacob with an expression that didn't look like he was joking, swallowed, and said, Minister Jacob, I have to remind you that I have already met Stephen from the Kingdom of Ravana. Queen Ni is engaged, it is impossible to marry the princess of your country again.

I thought that Jacob, who was politely rejected by Richard, would change his words, but he said solemnly: Your Majesty, according to our Lasik tradition, a nobleman can have several wives and concubines while having a legal wife. .For the sake of the friendship between the two countries, His Royal Highness is willing to make the princess your wife and concubine.

...

Richard was speechless for a moment.
