Chapter 718: Territorial Disputes

At this time, the Kingdom of Lorique was politically stable and peaceful, and Charlemagne stayed in the capital and did not return to Cerrienburg.

After all, he was going to marry Illya in two months, and the wedding date was coming, and no one wanted him to toss so much.

However, it is worth mentioning that Kanon's side has been having a hard time lately.

According to the testimony of the fighters in front, it was the patrol of the other side that crossed the border between the two countries and entered the territory of the Kingdom of Lorik, so this conflict occurred.

But it didn't matter to him who exactly crossed the border, he just wanted to know what the other side wanted to do.

With a grim face, he looked at the report in his hand, which recorded the course of the conflict and the casualties.

In terms of casualties on both sides, the patrols of the Kingdom of Lorik have the advantage, they are led by royal infantry, and the militia is the main patrol.

The other side was just some ordinary patrol soldiers, so after the conflict, the enemy was successfully repulsed and withdrew from the territory of the Kingdom of Lorik.

Kanoen looked at the diplomat in front of him and asked, "You should have been in contact with their people, what exactly do they want?" ”

The diplomat saluted, and then said, "That's your lord, I have had some contact with the diplomats sent by the Kingdom of Lillard, and their attitude seems to be very tough, let us be sure to hand over all the patrols involved in the conflict to the other party, and let us get out of that patrol area!" ”

The diplomat looked very angry, as an official cultivated among the natives of the Kingdom of Lorik, he still loved his country very much, and he was quite angry that the Kingdom of Lillard had done so much.

Kanoun frowned: "They are so tough? How could the other party be so confident to talk to us? ”

The Kingdom of Lillard is not a powerful country, even if the Kingdom of Lorik has transferred too many troops now, but the strength of the Kingdom of Lillard is about the same, why does the enemy have such a hard confidence to talk to them so much?

Canonon frowned and thought slightly, the meaning of the other party's words was no different from letting them cede the land and pay compensation, if he agreed, William would definitely hold him responsible.

This matter was obviously not something he could handle, even if he was the chief foreign minister of the Kingdom of Lorik, this matter was not something he could handle.

This has risen to the level of national strategy, although diplomacy is important, but the specific strategy has to be decided by William himself.

He sorted out the situation, took the pile of materials to the door of William's study, knocked on the door, and walked in.

"Your Majesty, this is the material of a diplomatic incident, this matter is very important, I don't dare to make my own decisions about how to deal with this matter!"

William raised his head from the desk, and took the materials prepared by Kanon with some curiosity, he had already granted the other party a huge diplomatic power, most of which he could accept with full authority, what was the situation that made him attach so much importance to it?

He opened the material and began to browse, and gradually, his brows furrowed, the Lillard Kingdom's approach was too much.

They actually crossed the border and clashed with the patrols of the Kingdom of Lorik, and the words of the other party clearly wanted the Kingdom of Lorik to cede the land.

William was furious when he saw this, he never imagined that his country would receive such a shoddy provocation.

Reparations for land cession, a term that William had never thought of since he became a nobleman.

He said to Kanoen strongly: "Reply to them, all their demands are very unreasonable, the Kingdom of Lorik will never agree to any of them, if they really want to use force to achieve their goals, then let them come!" The kingdom of Lorik is not afraid of any threat! ”

Although William sent a large number of troops, this does not mean that he will become weak in his diplomatic attitude, anyway, he has a large inventory of armor in his treasury, and there are more than 200,000 militia in the area of Dengrenberg and Issamdenburg, they can all be used as reserves for the regular army, and after wearing armor, they can become a regular army with good combat effectiveness.

The income from the porcelain, vodka, honey, and armor business is very huge, and last year's agricultural tax has just been received, and the three million commissions of the Kingdom of Arisella have also been delivered, at least if the Kingdom of Lillard really wants to go to war, William still does not have to worry about military expenses.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to carry out large-scale construction in the country first, so that the national strength could have increased exponentially while the size of the country remained the same, he would still have been able to expand the army a lot.

It really got to the point where he was ruined, he was really fearless, and hundreds of thousands of militiamen who admired him incomparably would become a nightmare for the enemy.

What he really didn't understand was why the Kingdom of Lillard would do such a thing when the church strictly forbade it, and the Kingdom of Lorik still had some strength.

Such a stupid act is not like what a king of a country can do, isn't this a slap in the face of the church and the kingdom of Lorik?

After receiving instructions from William, Carnoun personally met with the diplomats of the Kingdom of Lillard.

As an old enemy of the former Tskema Kingdom, the diplomat of the Lillard Kingdom often deals with the former Tskema Kingdom, and seems to be a very experienced diplomat.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I wonder what your country's attitude is? Are you willing to hand over the soldiers who patrolled and compensate us for the pensions of the fallen soldiers, and withdraw from the land? ”

The diplomat gushed as if they had won a major war.

Kanoen didn't say anything else, and said with a blank face: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Lillard, our country has rejected all the conditions put forward by your country, including indemnity, land cession, and the surrender of our loyal patrol soldiers!" ”

"In addition, His Majesty William, the great king of our country, has personally said that if the kingdom of Lillard wants to go to war because of this, then let them come, the kingdom of Lorik will never be afraid of anyone's threat, and will resolutely fight back against the invasion of the enemy!"

"Your Excellency, Diplomat! If you are really very unwilling, then you can declare war on our kingdom of Lorik! Our kingdom is not afraid of threats from anyone, any country! ”

Kanoen said righteously, and the foreign minister of the other side also had nothing to say, and after a long time, he said: "Well, Your Excellency, I will convey the meaning of your country to our Majesty the King!" ”

After saying that, he left here with his entourage, and it seemed that the Kingdom of Lillard would not make any major moves for at least a short time.
