Dicar II glanced at Adlem standing beneath the throne with a suspicious gaze, and if it weren't for Aderum's statement that he had figured out how to deal with the Palci Mission, Dikal would not have wanted to see the general, who was twelve years older than himself, because Dikal always had an indescribable sense of displeasure in front of this pampered man, and he felt that his kingship seemed more humble than that of the general, although it was entirely his personal imagination.

After Adlem gave a general account of Brooks' visit, Dikal frowned and said, "As Qing said, Palci's attitude is very tough, and he will force the widow to submit even at the cost of a fight. ”

"On the face of it, Your Majesty."

"Surface? Qing means ??????"

Adrim cleared his throat, and then said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, in fact, Palchi is not ready for war with our country, if they can really attack immediately, I am afraid they will not send this mission." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence analysis that Wei Chen knows. Although Li Tianhao, the prince of Dils, who held the real power of Palchy, had the ability to govern the country and was an excellent military commander, he rarely used diplomacy, or there was such an element of unwillingness to compromise in the spiritual realm of this person, so he instinctively resented using diplomacy to solve problems. Since he had raised his army in Dils, apart from the initial diplomatic formation of the Bandit Alliance, his only diplomatic move was to marry Princess Parci, now Her Majesty Queen Alfrite. It can be seen that this person is unwilling to use diplomatic means to solve the problem unless it is absolutely necessary. The reason behind this is either that he is confident in his military capabilities, or that he hates compromise and negotiation. Therefore, Wechen has reason to believe that this mission to our country is also based on unavoidable reasons, so it is nothing more than because Palci has just seized the land of Yaki and still needs to recuperate, and there is also the fact that the opinions within Palci may not have reached a unity. Their hard-line posture was only an attempt to force His Majesty to make a choice, so that at least he could force a consensus within Palci. ”

Dikar nodded, "Makes sense. ”

Adlerham continued: "Then there is really no need for our country, for our own position, to dance in the footsteps of Palci. ”

"The widow also wants the best of both worlds, but the reality is that one or the other must be chosen."

"That's not the case, Your Majesty," said Adlem with an imperceptible smile under his beard, "Wechen found one of the solutions from the last time he met with Marquis Brooks. ”

"Oh? So what is it? ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen has noticed that the expectation put forward by the Marquis of Brooks is for His Majesty to abandon his intention to continue to shelter His Highness Gilmus, rather than for His Majesty to hand over His Highness Gilmus."

"Does it make a difference?"

"Absolutely, Your Majesty. It is well known that Prince Dils has a personal vendetta against the royal family of Yaqui, and therefore he will want to get rid of His Royal Highness Gilmus as soon as possible. On the surface, if His Majesty gives up sheltering His Highness Gilmus, then His Highness Gilmus will become a helpless and lonely person, but this is completely different from asking His Majesty to return him. ”

"Does Qing mean to let the widow send him to another country for refuge by other kings?"

"Your Majesty has misunderstood what Wei Chen meant. If His Majesty sends His Highness Gilmus to another country, it will not only damage His Majesty's prestige, but also be equivalent to throwing this issue to other countries, which will probably offend this country. What we mean by this is that we can accede to this request of Palci and end the asylum of His Highness Gilmus, so as to show Palci that our country is sincere in maintaining friendship with Palci, and that Palch has no reason to be an enemy of our country. ”

"Isn't that the same?" Dicar grunted.

"But His Majesty can also present his views to Palci. Because if Gilmus were to be sent back to Palchi, he would be greeted with only a dead end. However, His Royal Highness Gilmus is still a child who has just turned six, and killing a young child may not only not relieve Li Tianhao's hatred, but will bring him an eternal infamy, and by doing so, His Majesty will invisibly become an accomplice to this act, and His Majesty will not do such a cruel thing. Besides, survival is a righteous act that embodies the benevolence of the king, and for the sake of His Majesty's reputation and the preservation of the reputation of Prince Tiers, His Majesty naturally cannot do such a thing. Your Majesty, do you remember the fortress of Baroud built by the coast of Diqil to prevent the invasion of the Yaki navy? Why don't Your Majesty lend this fortress to His Highness Gilmus to live in, so that His Highness Gilmus can escape from Your Majesty's protection and live a self-sufficient life, and Arubania can live in peace with Palci. ”

Dicard blinked, for a moment he didn't quite understand Adelim's intentions.

Seeing this, Adlem continued to explain: "Your Majesty, please think that you have leased your own land to an exiled prince, which is an act of righteousness for survival, and no one can find fault with you; At the same time, you accepted Palci's request, reflecting your desire for peace between the two countries, and it would be Palci's fault if Palci still wanted to provoke war; If Palch were to point his head at His Highness Gilmus, and that the Baroud Fortress would be separated from Palchi by the land of our country, Palch would have to attack from the sea, and the main function of the Baroud Fortress would be to defend against attacks from the sea, and it would be impossible for Parch to launch such an attack from the current armed forces in the Diqiel Sea. Wouldn't that be the best of all three worlds? ”

Hearing this, Dikal finally understood, and nodded again and again: "Okay! In this way, we will only have to settle Palci's conditions in the negotiation with the word lifting the asylum of Gilmus, and we will have the initiative! ”

"Your Majesty, we are deeply pleased with the well-being of the people of Arubania."

"But the widow leased the land to the Akinians to live in, and it seems that there is still a suspicion of shielding them, so this will not fall into the hands of others, right?"

Adrim immediately understood what he meant, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty need not worry about this, you have leased the territory from them, not ceded it. As long as there is a clear lease period and sufficient amount of collateral, I believe that no one dares to put a beak. ”

"Collateral?" Dikar's eyes widened, he knew that Gilmus and his people even relied on their own food and clothing, where did they get the collateral.

Adlem smiled slightly: "Sulla, the mother of His Highness Gilmus, seems to be a hostage of enough weight, and her detention in Baslardy City should be enough to deter His Highness Gilmus. ”

Dikar nodded with satisfaction, to be honest, this is the most satisfactory result for him, saving face, and not allowing Adlem to regain military power, and more importantly, Sulla stays by his side, then he can enjoy Sura's body to the fullest. (To be continued.) )
