King Rex's uncertain face Clifford Archpriest saw it completely, he looked at King Rex's gradually gloomy face when he watched the crystal ball, but he couldn't gloat in his heart, because the pressure he faced was as strong as King Rex, and the opponent in front of him was too strong, so strong that he even had to use the opponent's monarch to curb the momentum of the opponent's advance.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Archpriest Clifford spoke: "Now His Majesty knows why Count Cecil was able to make an unexpected breakthrough from the central front so easily, right? His Majesty the King is right, with the strength of Count Cecil, if you want to break through to our Yaml City, it will not be a big problem, but I think that it is the Count Cecil or His Majesty the King who occupies Yamlit City, you should know in your heart, with this kind of strength, I am afraid that the nobles of the entire Iruk Empire will surrender to the wind, but whether they surrender to Count Cecil or the King You, I think you and I know better. It is indeed not a good thing to have such a strong subordinate. Archpriest Clifford spoke with a mockery in his mouth.

King Rex was still very stubborn: "Count Cecil is a very loyal man, he has never violated my will, I think you will not be able to stop his attack, and then come to sow discord between our kings and ministers." The Count of Cecil has been with me since I fought against my father, and there were not many people with me at that time. I have made great contributions on my way to the throne, so I am extremely relieved of my loyal vassals. ”

King Rex was categorical, but Clifford was so good that he didn't believe King Rex's words. He gave a curtsy to King Rex, smiled and said: "The king is a smart person, he should be able to understand the truth, to see whether a person is loyal or not, how important is his character, but the most important thing is his strength, when the strength is not enough, no matter how strong the person is, he will choose to be loyal, when the strength is enough, even the most loyal and benevolent person will not be able to maintain loyalty, a monarch, once reduced to relying on the loyalty of his courtiers rather than his own strength to maintain the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Then the relationship between the monarch and the minister is extremely unstable and too easy to break. ”

Hearing this, King Lexa was silent, the reason why he didn't say anything was because what the Clifford Grand Priest said just hit him in the heart, Cecil's powerful strength really made him too uneasy, plus the little girl beside him and the necromancer who repeatedly appeared to cooperate with him, I didn't expect that through the power of the crystal ball, the three of them were already so powerful, and now when I think of the three of them, King Rex can be said to be big.

Archpriest Clifford smiled and said, "How is the King?" Is it now a treaty that promised me peace? In order to express the sincerity of our Elok Empire, our Elok Empire is willing to cede the two provinces in the western part of the empire to the Kingdom of Thoroland, but it requires Count Cecil to withdraw from the province of Mancini that he now occupies, so that his majesty can not only make your majesty prestigious, but also erase the credit of Count Cecil. ”

This condition has obviously made King Rex excited, although the two provinces that the Elok Empire is willing to cede are barren in land, and the two provinces together are far less rich than the Mancini Province, but the Mancini Province is now under the occupation of Cecil, not only is it not meaningful to him, but it may strengthen Cecil's possibility, and those two provinces are different, it doesn't matter whether they are rich or not, this is equivalent to proving to the people of the entire kingdom that they have done what their father did not do, He defeated the powerful Elok Empire, which was great news for himself who came to power by usurping the throne.

But there is one thing that King Rex must face, even if he agrees to negotiate peace with the Iruk Empire, then Cecil's current strength will obediently obey his orders to withdraw his troops? Even if he no longer marches into the hinterland of the Eluk Empire, as long as he does not spit out the newly acquired province of Mancini, it will be a great threat to himself. If he had such strength, he would never listen to the king of the royal capital pointing fingers at him again.

Perhaps sensing King Rex's concerns, Archpriest Clifford said to him, "Your Excellency, is the King worried that Earl Cecil will no longer obey your orders and refuse to withdraw his army?" ”

King Rex glanced at Clifford unexpectedly, he didn't expect this Clifford to see through his heart at once, it seems that this famous Archpriest is definitely not a simple character, don't blame Archpriest Alonso has fought with him all his life but has always lagged behind. This person's scheming is really unfathomable, and he can see what he is worried about at once.

The Archpriest of Clifford continued to say disapprovingly: "The Earl of Cecil is indeed very strong now, this is his greatest reliance, but it is also his weakness, according to my observation, the growth of his ambition has not kept up with the growth of his strength, we will fight a time difference at this time, maybe it is possible to succeed." ”

King Rex immediately understood the words of Grand Priest Clifford, there are two kinds of people in this world, those with great ambitions and those with low ambitions, and people without ambition do not exist in this world, maybe there are, but they are fools or mentally abnormal. Ambitious people generally have ambition before the growth of ability, and if you have 1 point of ability, you want to do 5 points, and the emperors and generals of the ancient times are all careerists of this type of person, and King Rex himself is this kind of person. This is not the case with those with small ambitions, their ambitions tend to grow with the growth of strength, and even lag behind the growth of strength, that is to say, the Grand Priest of Clifford thinks that Cecil is a person with less ambition than strength, at least for now, although he has that strength, but he has not replaced Rex's past ambitions, so if King Rex asks for the withdrawal of troops now, Cecil will never refuse. Now must be the time to make up his mind, Cecil's ambitions are smaller than those of King Rex, but as long as he is not a fool, his ambitions will always grow as his strength grows, and the occupation of the territory of the Illuk Empire will strengthen his ambitions, and now this is Rex's past nightmare, and he must prevent this from happening no matter what.
