Chapter 4: The Flock of the Lion Cub (I)

"Your Excellency has said before that with your military strength, it will only take a month to destroy Menes. That being the case, it proves that the damage caused to you by our army is insignificant. For the sake of this insignificant war loss, we are actually asked to act as executioners to kill those who have shed blood for this land. Sorry, I can't!"

Ivan used his own blood to erase the fourth article directly, resolutely refuted the request, and then waited in silence for the other party to respond.

This is our Sun King!

The representatives of the Menis side held their breath and subconsciously raised their heads, only to feel the blood surging in their chests, and the figure of the young king in their eyes became taller and taller.

Renee looked at him in slight surprise, showing a moving expression, she didn't expect that the young man who was trembling with the armrest of the car just now would be so heroic at a critical time.

“......”

The wound on Ivan's chest was bleeding constantly, and the floor was already stained red, but he sat there motionless like a normal person, cold and hard as if he were a sculpture.

Of the treaty of surrender of the Hyperion trade consortium, Article 4 is the most inconsequential and the most outrageous.

The list is drawn up by the consortium - isn't it that they can kill whoever they want, and see who they don't like!?

The original inhabitants of the Menes Empire were forbidden to form or join any organization hostile to the Consortium, and those who violated it were to be executed—if they did, it would indicate that the Menes government had become an accomplice and minions of the Hybolen Trade Consortium, and that it would no longer have legitimacy.

Wherever an armed rebellion occurs, officials are immediately dismissed from their posts and never hired - this is forcing local officials to strangle the rebels, with sinister intentions and shamelessness!

Unable to resist the invaders, but turned around to liquidate the bloody and sacrificed warriors, who would dare to serve the country in the future, and what face did the Sun King have to sit in the position of ruler.

Just abdicate, don't be ashamed!

He knew very well in his heart that if this article was not deleted, he would never be able to wash it away, and he could only be abandoned as an outcast in the future. If you want to get rid of the status of the puppet now, you must work hard from now on, take the responsibility of the Sun King, and fight your opponent to the end for the sake of national interests. In order to win the approval of his subjects, it is possible to win over a group of supporters, and then control his own destiny.

"That being said, our warriors will have complaints. If their anger is not quelled, there is no guarantee that the tragedy just now will not happen on a large scale. ”

Keane propped his chin with his hands and said calmly.

At this time, he already vaguely felt that things were a little tricky, and when he met a king who regarded death as home, this negotiation might not be as smooth as he expected. Although there was a hint of jealousy in his heart, this man was still unfazed on the surface, and he was very shameless to make a fuss about the assassination.

"I will give you reasonable compensation. Even if it is to tear down the palace and sell the crown, it will not hesitate. Ivan said without hesitation.

“......”

Keane's eyes flickered, and he fell silent, then turned his head and exchanged glances with several of his peers.

In view of the intransigence shown by the other side, the Hyperion Trading Consortium decided to compromise, after all, this treaty is basically dispensable compared to the other seven articles. Being able to extort an additional amount of compensation is not a loss for them.

"If Your Excellency is willing to pay a price of 100,000 deben per person as compensation for our soldiers, I can consider calming their emotions. Keane bowed slightly, and said in a tone of charity.

"Mr. Lourdes, is the price of the compensation reasonable?"

Evan breathed a sigh of relief, keeping his attitude of treating death as if he were at home, while reminding his orators that it was time for them to appear.

"Minister...... Minister!"

Lourdes was not accustomed to the young king's voice, and was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly. Glancing at the red blood stains on the ground, the eloquent's expression suddenly became tragic:

"Back to Your Majesty, of course, it is unreasonable, and the subsidy should be given as appropriate on the basis of the amount of their pension. ”

"You discuss. ”

Seeing that he had a move, Ivan temporarily withdrew from the battle, looked at the rest of the treaty, and prepared for a second round of offensive.

In this confrontation, the momentum of the Menes Empire has become completely different, under the infection of Evan, they all left their lives behind, and there is an impassioned color between their tongues and lips.

The leading Sun King has put life and death out of the way, and their courtiers have nothing to fear, even if they break the sky, it will only be death at most.

Even Evan didn't expect that the eloquent on his side suddenly increased his combat power several times in the blink of an eye, and he was like the two sheep just now—this may be the effect of the lion leading the flock.

In terms of actual conditions, the bureaucrats of this surrender ceremony are similar to what happened to Evan, and they are all backstabbers who have been squeezed out. Coupled with the momentum of the defeated side, it was born to lose a cut, and it was not bad to be able to use five achievements with ten percent of the ability.

But at this moment, the biggest back-stabber man chose to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and he also fought a beautiful turnaround, and their group of empathetic people were naturally encouraged.

If you take a step back, you will be ruined, you will be infamous for all generations, and there will be a ray of light in the future, so why not work hard - even if you die at the negotiating table, it is better than being a traitor!

In the end, the eloquent scholars led by Lourdes fought for reason, and according to the federal bereavement plan, the compensation of 100,000 deben was cut to 65,000 in one go.

After successfully removing the contents of Article 4, Evan took advantage of the victory and proposed to amend Article 5 to remove the content that granted supernatural status to federal citizens, and other conditions were to retain it.

This is also a treaty of little practical significance, but very humiliating - the consortium that actually controls the Menes Empire, even if there is no such treaty, there are ways to favor their own people.

Due to the lack of meaning of the content, and the increasing blood loss of Ivan Ievan, the consortium could only pinch its nose and once again chose to compromise and abolish the relevant content according to their demands.

However, by this time, Keane, the head of the consortium, had clearly shown his impatience and warned them that he had made a major concession and a last mercy, asking the Menes Empire not to gain an inch.

"The content of article 6 is also subject to debate. ”

Evan directly took his words as a fart, and before Keane could finish speaking, he proposed to revise the content of Article 6. It is required that the mineral mining rights owned by the federal government be changed to preferential mining rights.

"Your Majesty the Sun King, you'd better not treat this place as your private villa. ”

Keane's face darkened under his mask, and he rebuked Menes for not being sincere in negotiations, mad and ignorant, unaware of his own identity as a vanquished, and relying on the tolerance of others as a means of acting arbitrarily.

However, the representatives of the Menes Empire, with Ivan as the core, have entered the hob meat mode at this time, and they can't be cut, cooked, or chewed - you can either watch the Sun King die, or revise the content of the treaty.

For this treaty, the consortium is reluctant to change it, and that is a country's resources. If it is modified, it means that those resources are still owned by the Menes Empire, but they have the right of first refusal to exploit them.

"Your Majesty Evan, I doubt that you really have the sincerity of peace talks!"

Another representative of the consortium seemed to be unable to stand it, stood up directly from the negotiating table, and threatened with menacing:

"If you are not willing to accept peace, then be ready to continue the war!"
