Phil is in a bad mood, and it should be said that he hasn't been in a good mood since he declared war on Jason.

But even the collapse of the northern front a few years ago was not as bad as he is now, because the supply of food and grass for his front-line army was cut off, and an army of only more than 10,000 people was rampant in the hinterland of the kingdom of Lopez, more than a dozen cities fell one after another, the transportation channels were cut off, and the 100,000-strong army fell into a dilemma where it was impossible to advance or retreat.

Now he misses the time when Sandra was still by his side, and whenever he encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, she was always able to come up with a solution.

Even the Marquis of Bode, the important minister he now relies on the most, was persuaded by her, but unfortunately, this amazingly talented alien woman was broken in the north because she went deep behind enemy lines, which was equivalent to breaking one of Phil's arms.

"Your Majesty, we must withdraw our troops, otherwise sooner or later our army will be defeated due to lack of food. A nobleman sat in Phil's tent with a worried face, and said with a little pessimism.

Although it was impossible for Richard's army to cut off all the main routes for transporting food, the food transported from other regions could not supply the daily consumption of the entire army.

For a maximum of three months, the military rations they have hoarded behind the front line will also be depleted.

All they can do is retreat, or fight Jason to the death, but if they want to retreat, will Jason agree? I'm afraid that as soon as they show this tendency, Jason will directly attack and bite them to the death.

"Your Majesty, maybe we can go and have a good talk with His Royal Highness Jason, the Susin Kingdom doesn't know who it has received, and now that it is making a big attack, I think His Highness Jason will understand the stakes. A nobleman said with a sad look on his face and a dodgy look in his eyes, but in an instant, he was echoed by all the nobles.

At this time, these people stopped calling Jason by his first name, and gradually began to add honorific titles to him.

It's just that their words made Phil instantly face like the bottom of the pot, and he couldn't wait to draw his sword and cut down this group of bastards immediately.

He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Jason doesn't know what price he paid to get the help of the Lion Kingdom, do you think he will quit the army so easily? Even if he agrees, that woman from Gwendrin has finally let her army enter the hinterland of Lopez, will she nod and retreat so easily?"

Hearing this, everyone was silent, Phil did not speak, but continued to sneer and look at everyone, he wanted to see what strange reasons these people had to use to refute themselves, after being silent for a long time, another nobleman actually spoke, this time it was a white-haired old man who spoke: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Jason He can't watch the kingdom fall into despair, talk to him, at least it's just to pay some price." ”

Seeing Phil's gradually dissatisfied expression with the killing intent, the old man was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak: "Moreover, if the 100,000 army in the north is liberated and united with His Royal Highness Jason and Duke Asa, we may not be afraid of the Lion Kingdom and the Susin Kingdom. ”

Indeed, if the kingdom of Lopez had not been divided, its overall strength would still be able to dominate the northern kingdoms, and neither Duke Asa nor Jason would have been incompetent, and these territories had reached their greatest height in history under their rule.

After the old man said this, Phil fell silent, he knew that what the old man said was indeed reasonable, his side was indeed about to be unable to support it, not only the north was dragging his main force, but the western kingdom of Dolan also showed some signs of restlessness, but would Jason really be able to agree to his request so easily?

It's impossible to think about it.

Seeing that Phil fell silent, the old man felt that he had already moved him, his eyes flickered and he continued to speak: "Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness Jason is unwilling to withdraw his troops, we can promise him the three provinces of Eastern Brown, Blue Jade, and Gu'an. ”

"Presumptuous!" Unexpectedly, Phil was furious when he heard this, and even drew his sword to kill the old man on the spot, but he was finally persuaded by the surrounding nobles.

"Viscount Frey, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, you and your family will go to the western mines to eat ashes!"

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Viscount Frey didn't have the slightest timidity, but saluted very calmly and said: "Your Majesty, although we don't want to admit it, but now the four northern provinces have indeed completely fallen into the hands of His Highness Jason, but the northern administrative center that he called Francis City is thousands of miles away from the three eastern provinces, and it will take more than a month to come and go, but is he really willing to give up such a piece of fat?" This will inevitably disperse the power under his command, and these three provinces have just experienced the war caused by His Highness Jason and the sack of the black demon, and they have become dilapidated, and if we make some small moves in the dark, these three provinces will not only not be his help, but will also become a burden to his development, right?"

With Viscount Frey's words, Phil's originally angry expression gradually calmed down, and finally fell into deep thought.

Although after several humiliating land cession sued, Phil once vowed never to do the act of land cession again, but I have to say that Viscount Frey's plan did move him, and if it works well, it may even drag down Jason at a small cost!

"So...... Viscount Frey, how about you go and negotiate with Jason on my behalf as an envoy?" After figuring it out, Phil still felt very uncomfortable, so he directly handed over this very dangerous task to him.

Hearing this, Viscount Frey stood in place and was silent for a while, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Then let's discuss how this matter should be executed. One last glance at Viscount Frey, Phil turned and sat down in his place.

That night, Viscount Frey dragged his tired body back to his tent, after all, he was still old, he didn't need to use this war, but his son "died" in the battlefield of the Morning River in the north a few years ago, and fell into the Morning River.

When he returned to his tent and was about to take off his robe to rest, he suddenly found a man standing in the shadow of the tent!

Viscount Frey, who faced Phil today without changing his face, had a slight fluctuation in his eyes at this time, silently exited the tent and confirmed that there was no one around before he walked back, and looked at the black shadow for a while before he spoke: "You...... Why are you here?"
