As far as Anrui knows, Croft is a valiant and warlike king, a beast-language warrior by profession, who can communicate with and subdue beasts and monsters, and in some ways resembles a dragon warrior. Croft has suppressed several rebellions, fended off a foreign invasion, and used force to maintain the stability of the entire country.

Now, the time has come to test the dwarven king.

Croft looked at An Rui, his eyes were deep and determined, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go in and talk to you, I hope that after the talk, I can still come out of it." ”

"Don't worry, no matter what the outcome of today's negotiations is, I won't hurt you. Negotiation is just negotiation. Anrui reassured with a smile.

There is no such thing as a golden mouth in this world, but what the king says still carries a lot of weight, and the king's reversal will cause many people to slander and lose his majesty and reputation.

Anrui walked ahead and stepped into the chamber, taking a seat on a chair on the north side, and squeezing Croft from his seat. In the world of the Seven Seas, the north side is where the leader sits, and the throne has always been on the north side. Anrui sat on the back, meaning that his status was higher than that of Croft.

Croft walked to the south as if he didn't take it seriously, he found a wooden chair and sat down, facing Anrui from a distance, with a large table in between.

The door was closed, secluded, and it became an enclosed space, and although the windows were open, the sound could not be heard outside.

"King Croft, first of all, thank you for all the gifts you have worked so hard to prepare for our country, even though we have not yet received them. But we have already felt this heart in advance. An Rui said with a smile.

"Gifts? What gift? Croft asked rhetorically.

"The waters of calamity." Anrui smiled and said the name of the poison, waiting to see Croft's expression.

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Croft's eyes. But he immediately regained his composure, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this kind of thing, and I don't plan to give any gifts to your country, you probably misunderstood." ”

An Rui secretly scolded the old fox, and was so calm when the conspiracy was broken.

"You've been buying up medicinal herbs lately, which are used to refine the waters of calamity. Stop quibbling. Whether there is such a thing or not, you and I know it. Anrui further pointed to the right path.

"We do buy medicinal herbs, but that doesn't mean anything. What we are refining is not a water of calamity, but a different kind of potion. What exactly is the water of calamity? I've never heard of it? Croft pretended.

"Since you won't admit it, forget it." An Rui waved his hand, unwilling to continue pressing. "I didn't even want to blackmail you with this. If I want to make a fuss about this, I will definitely collect a lot of evidence, and I will say it directly without preparation. ”

"Of course I won't admit that there is nothing at all." Croft was adamant and refused to let go of his mouth.

The dwarven king knew very well that if he admitted it, he would be as mentally and morally inferior as a criminal confessing his crime.

"That's good. Let's talk about it differently. This time I'm here to persuade you. I hope you can surrender the whole country and turn the White Bear Ancient Kingdom into the territory of the Nova Empire. Anrui said lightly, as if it were just a very common topic.

Croft couldn't keep his composure anymore this time, his brow furrowed slightly, and he said roughly, "This is not a funny joke, King Anrui, watch your words!" ”

"This is not a joke, I am negotiating with you very seriously. Your White Bear Ancient Kingdom, I want it. ”

"Impossible! I can't give you the White Bear Ancient Kingdom so easily, this is a country, a country that has gone through more than a dozen dynastic changes, not a dish or an apple! ”

"Of course I didn't expect you to give it to me easily, in exchange for some conditions. This is a negotiation, and of course there must be conditions for negotiation. Hopefully, today we will be able to reach a consensus on a peaceful deal. ”

"This is my country, it was left to me by my ancestors, and I can't trade this country." Croft's tone was resolute, glaring at Anrui opposite.

"There is nothing impossible, many wise kings in history have rationally chosen to surrender to the great powers in view of the irreversible shape, so as to save themselves and thousands of civilians and avoid rivers of blood." An Rui calmly persuaded Croft, "You should know very well how powerful I am personally and the Nova Empire, and the White Bear Ancient Kingdom is not our opponent at all. ”

"There are many countries in the world that are stronger than the White Bear Ancient Kingdom, is there such a country that comes here to talk about it, and I want to send the whole country out? If you want to take down the country with your mouth, there is no door. Croft lifted his fingers, which were as thick as ham sausages, and shook them three times.

"There are indeed many countries that are stronger than the White Bear Ancient Kingdom, but most of them are far away, unlike the Nova Empire, which is only a sea away from you. Moreover, those people are not as ambitious as me, and their attitude towards doing things is not as resolute as mine. I put my words here today, and within a month, I will definitely take down your White Bear Ancient Kingdom at any cost. If you surrender now, I can guarantee your interests and safety, so that you can continue to live comfortably. If you refuse to surrender, one day of the month will be your death date. "Anrui's attitude is just as resolute and extraordinarily aggressive.

This is no longer a discussion, but an outright threat!

"An Rui, since you want to fight, then fight! I know you're strong, but I'm not afraid of you. Even if I pay with my life, I will defend this country that my ancestors have passed on to me. Our family has ruled the country for hundreds of years and has great prestige in the country. If you kill me, you will stir up the hatred of the people, who will hate you and fight to the death against your army. Even if you take possession of this country by force, the people of this country will not recognize you, but will only think of you as a brutal aggressor. Croft slapped the table and struck a posture of looking at death.

"It's a pity," An Rui shook his head slightly, "I didn't expect the people of this country to submit to me sincerely, as long as they were superficially obedient to me." What I need is this country, this territory, whether it's a whole country or a country full of holes. Since you have decided that you want war, then I can only send you war. I will give you three days to escape back to the Imperial City, and after three days, I will personally lead my troops into battle and let you know what despair is. The history of your family's reign is coming to an end, and it's a red one. (To be continued......)
