Chapter 583: Bargaining
"I don't know, what does His Majesty mean by the price of enough?"
His Holiness the Pope's voice, coming through the communication spell, seemed slightly distorted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, the warm feeling that touches people's hearts can still be felt easily.
Dane wouldn't eat this.
Since His Majesty the Pope opened his mouth and asked Dane to put forward the conditions first, he would not be polite at all: "First of all, all the murderers involved in this operation must be handed over, and we will judge them according to our laws." ”
Dane came up with the first one.
After such a long time, he also probably figured out who had attacked Dane's undead military camp before.
It was a young knight named Rick, a sub-head of the Templar Order, with a sixteenth level of strength.
His status is not low, but that is not the point. The main thing is that he is the chief of the Knights Templar, the grandson of Richard Paladin, hailed as the super genius of the Holy Empire, the pillar of the future Knights. This is the most important piece of information that the Black Hand Academy has obtained, and it is also a good weight that Dane feels can be used to test the attitude of the Holy Empire.
There were not many people involved in that attack, probably only about 300.
But all of them were members of the Knights Templar, and only an elite team like the Knights Templar could quickly complete the mission of annihilation in a very short time with only half the manpower of the undead camp.
The Knights Templar is known as the number one knight order in the mainland, and the total number of members is only three or four thousand, and the strength is quite strong. According to the assessment, these Templars would definitely not be able to beat Dane's champion knights in terms of the same number, but they would still be able to win against Dane's Templars.
As a result, Rick, who was not low in status and was special, and a group of more than 300 Templars, became a good weight for Dane to test the attitude of the Holy Empire.
Doesn't your Holy Empire want to settle things? Hand them all over and see if you dare.
The Holy Empire dares.
"I can grant you this request."
This was a little bit of a surprise to Dane.
His mind became active, since even these people can be sacrificed, it seems that the bottom line of the Holy Empire is very low.
"I want Changlu County, Apucat area, and Merlincha area." Dane opened his mouth directly.
Not to mention Changlu County, the Apcat region and the Merlincha region were once the territory of the Second Caesar Empire. Two or three hundred years ago, when the Second Caesar's Empire collapsed, the Holy Empire took the opportunity to swallow these two regions.
These are two quite large places, and combined, they are almost the size of the kingdom of Pudri.
If the Holy Empire were to hand over these two regions, it would almost mean that they would hand over a quarter of their existing territory for no reason.
"No way."
This must be unacceptable to the Holy Empire, and even if they really fight a full-scale war with Sindelare, they will never accept the condition of ceding a quarter of the land.
Dane said, "You say it's impossible? So what if I say I have to? Your Majesty, will you be able to hold back my army? ”
The Pope was silent for a moment and said, "Whether it can be stopped or not, if Your Majesty Dane, if you do not retreat on this request, then the Holy Empire will have to fight with war." ”
His voice was quiet, just stating a fact.
Dane said: "There is nothing to talk about in Changlu County, I must, the whole territory of Pudri must be under my control." ”
"Okay."
"I want the Apkat area, and I can give up Merincha."
"No, I can only give you the whole of Pudri at most, it is impossible for the Holy Empire to divide its own land and give it to other countries, this is also our bottom line."
Dane shook his head and said, "Don't forget, Apkat and Merlincha are not the lands inherent in your Holy Empire. That is the inherent territory of Caesar's Empire, a land that you have usurped two hundred and seventy years ago! I, on the other hand, am committed to restoring the glory of Caesar's Empire, and if I can regain the region of Apcat in a non-war manner, then I can accept it. But if your Holy Empire can't even agree to this, then you will have to fight each other. ”
"Your Majesty, don't be too aggressive! We just signed a contract a month and a half ago! At the beginning, we agreed to use Changlu County as the boundary, and after destroying the Cursed Church, we would not invade each other! ”
Now, His Majesty the Great Pope, unable to maintain his composure, his tone became slightly angry.
Dane scoffed.
Earlier, the agreement signed, in fact, he didn't take it seriously at all.
At that time, Dane wanted to deal with the Cursed Church first, and then restore stability to the Pudri area as soon as possible. Then, when he has the chance, he will definitely continue to attack the Holy Empire.
On the premise of having a huge military force, Dane still has the ambition of being crowned emperor, and of course he can't calm down.
It's just that no one expected that this opportunity would come so soon. I really want to thank Rick and the group of stunned young people he carried.
Actually, to be honest, the loss of more than 600 undead, Dane would not care about it at all. Taking advantage of the opportunity to press on the Holy Empire is Dane's goal.
However, of course, these words cannot be said on the table.
"You were the first to break the covenant. The bones of 600 of my men are still unburied in the camp. ”
"That's just some filthy undead creatures!"
"I respect you, His Majesty the Pope, but please watch your words. Those are my warriors, my subjects, and if you use the word 'filthy' to describe them, we will no longer have to negotiate. ”
In the entire continent, there are probably not many people who dare to speak to the Holy Pope like this. And in the last few decades, it is estimated that the Holy Pope has never seen it, and there will be someone who dares to face himself with such an attitude.
He was in a bad mood, but in the face of Dane, he still had to endure it.
"We're not going to talk about it anymore," he said. The Kapnos region will never be completely handed over to you, at most it will only give you the shores of the forest lake. ”
The shore of Linshui Lake is a part of the Kapnos region, which is not small in size and has fertile land, which is an excellent production area.
Being willing to hand over the shore of Linshui Lake has actually proved the sincerity of the Holy Empire in this matter.
But, how could the insatiable Dane be satisfied? If he doesn't get the entire Capnos region, he will not be reconciled!
