Chapter 46: Temptation
A few small talks are just two sides exposing some bottom lines to each other.
Soon, the topic was pulled into the right track.
"Distinguished guest, I wonder, why do we believe you?" Lune spoke publicly.
Kun Wu looked at him with a smile: "Because you are still alive now." I don't know if you have ever thought that my companions and I have more combat power than you can imagine. Even if you hide a five-star powerhouse and thirty or so four-star guards here, you won't be able to stop us! ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward.
Kungo was completely unaware of how amazing his words were: "Please believe me. If we are hostile to Mahan, then you cannot stop us from doing anything. So the fact that you are alive is the best proof of that! ”
"Arrogance!" One of the ministers let out a low snort.
This seems to be the Minister of War, and in the case of Valinor's betrayal, he is the first person in the military of the Mahan Kingdom - Prince Angmar is not as high as him in terms of official position.
Kungo nodded very seriously: "Yes!" ”
In the next moment, he disappeared in place.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The two ministers screamed.
But Kungo didn't make a move on Anto, and after a dense crash like a flying drum, Kungo reappeared in everyone's sight.
He carried a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was bloody.
Antosh et al.'s pupils constricted into needles.
That long sword was the saber of another five-star powerhouse in Mahan Kingdom.
"But I'm qualified to be arrogant, aren't I? Rest assured, he didn't die, he just fainted by me. Kungo casually threw the sword to Prince Angmar, "What else do you want to try?" To be honest, I don't have a lot of patience, so forget about these cutscenes! ”
He looked at Grand Duke Lune: "I know that you will say that everything is arranged by you, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty, and if I have a complaint, I will be angry with you." But you are the prime minister of this country, I can't really do anything to you, or else I will declare war on this country! ”
He smiled, his voice turning cold, "Guys, this kind of means is of little use to me. It's just a waste of time. I would like to stress once again that I have no hostility towards Mahan, I just want to settle the war on the Minas continent and then go to the Steam Empire! ”
"As for what I want to do in the Steam Empire, it has nothing to do with you, and it will not harm your national and personal interests. If you still don't believe me at this point, then I think I might have to change an ally! ”
The last sentence implied a threat, which made the faces of the three Grand Duke Lu change in unison.
But Kunwu's previous words were indeed their initial arrangement, and this feeling of being seen through at a glance also made these superiors quite uncomfortable.
Being in their position, all kinds of temptations, talking around corners and corners became almost instinctive, and it made them believe that Kungo was indeed impossible as soon as they came.
The reason why Kungo is so tough is that he doesn't want to waste time, otherwise he will be caught in this palace battle and cannot extricate himself.
He absolutely did not believe that Valino was the only one in the Mahan Kingdom who was a traitor, and how could only one person betray the country and plunge the country into a five-year-long war?
And betrayal is not necessarily overt, and many times that tacit "tacit understanding" is the real fatal thing.
To put it another way, it's more appropriate.
The scourge of partisanship.
Angmar gave His Majesty the King a helpless expression, as if to say, "I said it would be like this, but you don't believe it!" Then he cleared his throat and broke the awkward silence: "Kungo, I'm sorry. This is the fault of those of us who are in high positions, and I hope you will forgive me. I vouch for it with personality, this is definitely the last time! ”
Kungo shrugged and didn't speak.
Antosh also expressed his position, saying that this was the last time, and then he turned the topic to the real topic, "Angmar told me before, Your Excellency said that if Valino does not confess, you can help!" ”
Even if Valino is a traitor, he has an extremely deep background, and his family is a big family that grew up with the Mahan Kingdom, and like the family of the Grand Duke of Lune, it is the pillar family of the Mahan Kingdom.
For some reason, it was impossible for Antoshin to interrogate Valinor with a heavy sentence, but if he let it go and execute Valinor alone, Antoshin was obviously unwilling.
Then letting Valino speak for himself would be the best thing to do.
Kungo nodded: "I'll give me a quiet single room, and I'll be done soon!" ”
Antosh immediately proceeded to make arrangements, and then Kungo went to interrogate the prisoners so aggressively, leaving only the friends to stay here and stare at His Majesty the King.
His Majesty really didn't hold back: "Ladies and gentlemen, can you tell this king how strong you really are?" ”
"We're not strong, but we use a different way of fighting than you, so you think we're strong. Well, that guy is an exception, he's a special case! An Yang threw out the answer that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Then how strong is His Excellency Kungo?" Antosh asked again.
An Yang shook his head: "I don't know, he is getting stronger every day, I can't describe his strength in words that you can understand." If you have to quantify it, then there are more than five masters like Prince Angmar who can defeat him! ”
There was a gasp in the reception room.
Then there was a deathly silence.
Half an hour later, Kun Wu lifted out Valino, who was weak all over, as if he was carrying a sack: "You ask, now even if you ask him how many times he peeked at women taking a bath when he was a child, he would say it!" ”
Antosh showed an eager expression, as if he really wanted to ask this question, but in the aggressive gaze of the Grand Duke of Lune on the side, he still straightened his face: "Valinor, I want to know, why did you betray Mahan. What the hell are we sorry for you? Just because your son died on the front lines? ”
That's the only reason Antosh can think of.
A year before the invasion began, Valino's son was killed in a border conflict, and on that mission, Valino's son was posthumously named a national hero for keeping the secret of Mahan's steam cannon.
Valino was decadent for a long time because of this. The information from Groyin shows that it was after that Valino took the initiative to contact Jingta and provided a detailed border map, which made Jingta unable to fight back at the beginning of the invasion.
Why the betrayal is actually not important to the country of Mahan, but it is important to Anto, and he must know the answer.
