Chapter 539: Uninvited Guest
King Rex very politely sent Cecil's messenger out of the palace hall, and at the same time conveyed a cordial greeting to Count Cecil, and promised to give Count Cecil reinforcements to make him act cheaply, just after the messenger walked out of the palace hall, King Rex angrily slammed the crystal wine glass in his hand to the ground.
But angry is angry, King Rex is still a very pragmatic person, Cecil's affairs can be talked about later, although I don't know how he won the victory, but for now he can still make good use of it. He had just ordered Cecil to quickly march to Yamrit City, the capital of the Iruk Empire, Cecil was weak, and the imperial capital of the Iruk Empire happened to be strong at this time, so that after they were defeated, they could even take down the Elok Empire, although the possibility was very small, but at the worst they could also take advantage of the chaos to occupy a large part of the territory of the Elok Empire, and then their power would reach the peak of the Sauroran Kingdom, At that time, if he wanted to be crowned emperor again, I was afraid that the damned Grand Priest Alonso had no reason to object anyway, thinking of this, the king's dissatisfaction with Cecil was reduced a little, after all, compared to his own imperial business, the unruliness of a nobleman was nothing. Later, I will find a way to adjust it slowly. He found another glass, poured it with the mellow wine, and tasted it again, already imagining Cecil marching into the city of Amrit and dying with the Griffin Holy Knights.
"King Rex is in good spirits, and this season is indeed the time for fine wine." When King Rex was leisurely trying to taste the wine, a voice suddenly entered Rex's ears, our king's surprise is not trivial, although the palace is eventful, but it is also heavily guarded, several of his own powerful henchmen are guarding nearby, and the strength of King Rex himself is also extraordinary. But being sneaked in so easily, then this person's strength must be extraordinary, King Rex turned his head, only to see a black-robed man standing on top of the main hall, and then looked closely, the guards around him all fainted on the ground, it seems that all of them have been manipulated.
The black-robed man's face was not hidden, and King Rex saw an old countenance. Although he doesn't know what the origin of this person is, King Rex believes that this person is not here to assassinate him, otherwise he will not talk to himself, if he assassinates himself directly just now, as long as he blows lightly, I am afraid that he will be seriously injured if he does not die, and it will be difficult to escape alive in the end. But he asked himself out loud, obviously not intending to murder his life.
"Who are you, why did you sneak into the palace, and what is your purpose?" King Rex was not in a hurry to call the guards, he knew that it was useless to shout at this time, and the other party must have been fully prepared to appear here calmly. It's definitely too late for me to hold on to my feet now, so it's better to calm down and listen to what he has to say. The other party, an old man with such a high skill, came here alone to see him, and he definitely didn't come for trivial things. So King Rex also assumed the king's style and began to inquire about the comers.
"Hehehehehe, worthy of King Rex. There aren't many people in this world who can be so calm in the face of such a situation, at least not your timid father and your unruly brother. When the old man saw King Rex's attitude, he said to King Rex with a smile.
"You didn't answer my question, sir, who are you? What's the matter here? King Rex ignored his compliments and asked what he wanted to know.
The black-robed man heard Rex's past questioning, smiled and said: "It seems that the king is really an anxious son, okay, let me explain my intention, my name is Clifford, I am the great priest of the Dawn Temple of the Elok Empire, the purpose of coming here is very simple, now the war between the two countries has greatly consumed the manpower, material and financial resources of the two countries, the soldiers of the two countries died on the battlefield, and the lives of the people were devastated, and it is not a way to fight like this, and the emperor of Roland of the Elok Empire is willing to negotiate peace with your country, And willing to return your brother Prince Lucas, who is hiding in our country. I would also like to ask for your understanding of Japan's position and the possibility of agreeing to this peace talks. With that, Archpriest Clifford stopped talking and looked at King Rex quietly.
King Rex was taken aback when he heard this, the Grand Priest of Clifford was a famous figure in the entire Lovalan Continent, and his fame was still above the Grand Priest Alonso of his Soloran Kingdom, King Rex had heard of his name for a long time when he was a prince, but unfortunately he had never had the opportunity to meet, but he didn't expect to meet in this situation, and the dignified Grand Priest sneaked into his palace like an assassin King Rex never expected. The majesty of the High Priest in the temple can be said to be more dignified than that of the Emperor and the King, because he represents the gods, and he can almost be said to be the earthly agent of the God of Dawn. A person in such an important position must consider the dignity and glory of God in everything he does. It seems that the Elok Empire has really reached a very critical moment, otherwise the dignified Grand Priest would not be like this. Thinking of this, a sense of superiority rose in the heart of King Rex. I didn't expect that I would force the dignified Arrow Empire to such an extent, and the great priest of the Dawn Temple was forced to dress up like this to secretly sue for peace with him, this kind of achievement can really be said to be intoxicating.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to negotiate peace, if Clifford came to negotiate peace with him a few days ago, and opened this condition, then he would have to be happy, but today is different, Cecil has achieved an unprecedented victory in the middle, and the front has been directed at the hinterland of the Iruk Empire, as long as it crosses two provinces, it can directly hit the imperial capital of the Elok Empire, Yamrit City, and even the emperor of Roland may become his own prisoner, in this case, What to return to Prince Lucas, isn't it a joke that the two sides negotiated such terms? King Rex would never agree to such a condition as long as his brain was not broken.
King Rex glanced at Clifford Archpriest arrogantly: "As a slave of the Lord of Dawn in this world, the Archpriest of the Dawn Temple should be dedicated to God, I wonder why the Archpriest is in charge of the affairs of the world?" ”
