"Your Majesty Beluni. John II accentuated his voice, "Do you want some response and explanation for this?"

"Response, explanation, if you really need it, then okay. "Previously, due to some of my personal reasons, the affairs of our country have been in the hands of the Cabinet, maybe they have done something that I don't know," Beruni said. ”

Richard had heard about it a long time ago.

Since the king was addicted to beauty pageants and enjoyment, he never asked about political affairs. The Stuart ministers had to form their own cabinets and consult with each other to run the whole country, and it was said that they did not do a bad job, and it was even believed that this constitution should be retained for a long time.

"Rest assured, those mediocre people can't continue to make trouble. "I've regained my power, and when I return home, I can start reviewing it to see if they've done anything before." If I really used to secretly drive the undead, I would never hide it. ”

"Are you back in power?" the lord couldn't help but ask.

He felt that the performance of this product today was not completely brought down by the cabinet, which only showed that the cabinet still needed a mascot.

After all, those courtiers, once they have tasted the taste of power, where can they be willing to let go easily.

Beruni can still kill the cabinet, which really makes him feel a little puzzled.

"That's right, I killed them all. Belluni's tone was rather calm, but as soon as he finished speaking, all the Stuart envoys shuddered.

This kind of purely knee-jerk action is often very revealing.

"I hope you will be able to deliver on your promise soon. "Pope John II, as a religious leader, is not in a position to speak out more about political struggles.

"Isn't it time to talk about the legacies of the war?" said Prince Abel of San Jose.

"War, hey, war!" John II sighed, turned to the older nun beside him, and said, "Lady Theresa, please bring the map that has been prepared." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The black-clad monks held out a large roll of parchment maps and slowly spread them out on the table, gently brushing away non-existent dust with bristles.

This is not a complete map of the continent, but only parts of the northern frontiers of Pompeii and Stuart. Even from Richard's point of view, the accuracy is very good.

On it, he not only found the signs of the high mountain fort and the four or five pioneer collars nearby, but also saw a few country roads that he thought only the locals knew, which were also neatly depicted with dotted lines.

Human settlements use different symbols to indicate different hierarchies.

The lowest level of temporary residence is marked by a triangle, the higher level is circled, and the higher level is made of two concentric, three, or four circles......

Colin is a four-circle circle, and a flis is five-circle.

Most of the frontiers are triangular numbers, meaning that their fate is as shaky as duckweed in the waves to the cartographer.

The lord's sharp eyes saw that the symbol of the mountain castle was no longer a triangle, but two rings, which greatly satisfied his inner vanity.

The diminutive John II suddenly stood up and placed his hand on the disputed area of the map, "In the name of an ordinary follower of the Light, I implore you to look at the innocent civilians who have been displaced with a merciful heart before making any decisions. ”

"Amen. "The clergy who were present were one after another

, even Bishop Paul.

The envoys agreed happily, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that what was hidden under this pleasure was perfunctory.

Richard had watched John II for a long time, and he always felt that the old man did not look like a pretentious gesture.

"So, here we go. ”

"I'd better come first. Beluni picked up the quill and dipped it in ink.

"This is the border before Pompeii and Stuart. His hand was steady, and the wet tip of the pen moved across the map, leaving a clear and accurate path.

"And that's the actual boundary now. "The new line circles an area in the middle of the previous one.

This area once represented the northwestern province of Stuart, but now represents the occupied territory controlled by Pompeii.

Stuart has not reacted to the last war, and Pompey has inexplicably continued to take control.

"This place deserves to be returned to the Stuarts. Prince Abel said to himself.

But no one paid attention to him, and they were all waiting for Beruni's next step.

Even if everyone knew that he was crazy, as the king of Stuart, he had to keep the respect he deserved.

In this meeting, where the fate of countless people is at stake, the words of a madman are so important that I have to say that it is a bit absurd.

The quill continues to move across the map, leaving a new rounded curve behind the new border, encompassing the larger territory. Only then did Beluni stop and put the quill back into the inkwell.

This new line and the original frontier preceded a vast area of land equivalent to two and a half provinces, and one-fifth of the territory of the whole of Stuart.

Prince Abel looked at the line and vaguely felt that it was not good.

"Since our country has been defeated in fact, it is inevitable to cut the land. "As the ruler of Stuart, in order to prevent the hatred from deepening and the war from continuing, I have decided to give all these lands to Pompeii. ”

"Is that okay?" he cautiously consulted the others.

But for a while, no one spoke at all, and everyone looked at each other, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

If they heard me right, it seems that this mad monarch not only does not intend to claim the occupied land, but is ready to send more out of his own initiative!

Even the envoys of Pompeii had a ridiculous first reaction.

You know, when they discussed it internally, Prince Schmidt gave the bottom line that all newly occupied areas could be given up for the sake of peace.

In the blink of an eye, the transformation of hell and heaven can be so rapid.

"If it doesn't work, you can make it bigger. Beruni didn't wait for a reply, and tried to get a quill again.

"Absolutely not. Prince Abel's face changed drastically, "Your Majesty, do you know! There are the largest magic crystal mines and mythril mines in the entire Stuart!"

As a special envoy, he also came with a mission.

The best-case scenario for San Jose is for Pompeii and Stuart to continue to go to war and continue to bleed. It really can't be done, and it's not impossible to let both sides return to the original point and maintain the original situation.

According to Prince Abel's previous estimates, the final result should be somewhere in between, depending on luck and skill.

But in any case, it is absolutely impossible to accept the absurdity of Stuart taking the initiative to cut meat and feed Pompeii.

If Pompeii swallows these two semi-provinces, a behemoth will emerge in the north, replacing San Jose as the most powerful nation in the entire human world.
