"You actually took the opportunity to knock on ......"

When Deputy Envoy Riglot heard my speech, he was about to get angry, but he was stopped by the envoy's outstretched hand.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean by this?" said with a calm expression, "The foreign minister is stupid, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to speak clearly!"

"Then let's make it clear!"

I said with a smile.

"As the fourth brother said, it was only a matter of time before General Heloster captured Chijin City. ”

"As far as I know, from the Red Gold City to the City of the Underworld, even if you ride a horse, it will take at least two months. And from Yinhui City to Chijin City, it was only half a month. ”

"No matter how you look at it, the Empire is willing to send troops, and it is estimated that when he arrived, General Heloster was already picking his teeth with King Etheldor's bones!"

"Dragon ......"

When Aika heard my words and was about to have a seizure, Shirley shook her head at her and signaled her not to worry.

"Mr. Envoy, the Deputy Envoy said just now that if the Empire does not send troops, the Duchy of Rigelot will give Red Gold City and half of the territory of the Kingdom of Etheldordo in exchange, right?"

I asked.

"Yes!"

The envoy nodded.

"There is no basis for your words, Mr. Zhengen!" I changed my words, "why do you say that after your country conquers the Red Gold City, you will keep your promise?"

I couldn't be clearer about what I meant by this, which was to tell the envoy that it was time to give the price.

Of course, there is another meaning to this sentence: only if the price given by the Duchy of Riglot exceeds that of the Kingdom of Aceraldo, the Empire will make a guarantee that it will not send troops.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Etheldordo, how much are you willing to pay?"

I don't know if Aixiang is stupid, sitting there for a long time without reacting, stunned, I couldn't help but remind her.

"Oh, oh!"

As a result, the ninth sister and Shirley quietly explained to Aixiang, and Aixiang turned the corner.

So Aika came to the Emperor and knelt down, lowered her eyebrows, and lightly opened her lips.

"The Kingdom of Ethelaldo is willing to recognize the Taknes Empire as its suzerain, and the people of Ethelaldo have sworn to follow the Taknes Emperor forever. ”

"And, I, Aika Ethelaredo, am willing to marry the crown prince of your country!"

Aixiang's words are neither humble nor arrogant, full of true feelings, resolute and modest, anyone who listens to it will be moved by her sincerity.

"It's your turn to bid, Mr. Envoy!"

The price given by Aika just now can almost be said to have put the entire Ethelador Kingdom into the hands of the Empire. And Aika also made it clear that she was willing to marry me, which made her add a lot of leverage in the negotiations.

As I understand it, the Duchy of Riglot can't afford a higher price than Aika.

However, I was wrong.

"The Duchy of Rigolot is willing to give up all the 'Blood Lotus' flower fields!"

He said this without blinking his eyes.

As soon as the words fell, the King of Hong, the King of Eagles, and the five generals of the Immortal Dragon stood up almost at the same time, and then knelt down in front of the Immortal Emperor at the same time.

"Erchen agrees with the proposal of the envoy of Riglot!"

King Hong and King Eagle said in unison.

"The ministers seconded it!"

The five generals of the Dark Dragon also said in unison.

"The old minister also thinks this plan is very good!" Even the state minister, who had been silent, spoke, "Old minister, second!"

The words of the Riglot envoy made the situation extremely unfavorable for us all of a sudden.

Why?

This has to start with what is a "blood lotus".

The blood lotus is named because it is bright red like blood, as if soaked in blood. Bloodlids are mainly grown in the south-central part of the Selpion continent, and because of their special preference for cold and low oxygen, most of them grow on the snowy mountains of the Duchy of Riglot.

When the blood lotus blooms, the entire snowy mountain becomes red and gorgeous, which is very spectacular.

King Hong: They are so excited, not because they like to enjoy flowers, but because the blood lotus has the same function as blue medicine.

To put it simply, the blood lotus can be used to replenish the spirit of the person.

The craftsmen of the Tacnis Empire discovered early on that swords made of cold iron were not only durable and sharp, but also had few procedures and low costs.

But what really fascinated them was that Red Cold Iron had a property that all other metals didn't have.

Ordinary swords made of metal can't hurt the Dragon Swordsman and the Dragon Spirit Contractor, but a sword made of red cold iron can.

This gave ordinary people and people who were naturally lacking in spiritual strength a chance to challenge the Dragon Spirit Contractor or even the Dragon Swordsman.

In Selbiang's long history, there are many people who are strong in martial arts but are unable to get ahead like dragon swordsmen and dragon spirit contractors due to their lack of natural spirit.

Just when people were worried about making up for the lack of spiritual energy, the blood lotus was discovered.

As long as you drink a small amount of tea made from blood lotus, even ordinary people can use swords made of red cold iron for a long time.

On the battlefield, both sides of the war will have at least one Dragon Swordsman or Dragon Spirit Contractor.

If the soldiers are equipped with weapons made of ordinary metal, once your Dragon Swordsman or Dragon Spirit Contractor is killed, the battlefield will instantly turn into a one-sided slaughter of your side.

However, if your own soldiers are equipped with Red Cold Iron Swords, even if your own Dragon Swordsman or Dragon Spirit Contractor is killed, the soldiers can rush up and slash the opponent's Dragon Swordsman or Dragon Spirit Contractor to death, which is the so-called indiscriminate punch to kill the master.

By the way, the Taknis Empire has two special units that are all armed with the Red Cold Iron Sword, one is called the Red Killing Regiment, and the other is called the Suiying Pavilion.

Envoy Riglot's offer was quite tempting.

If you can get the Flower Field of the Blood Lotus, you can earn a lot of money second, and the most important thing is that you can increase the combat power of the Empire's troops by several grades.

And there is also a great benefit: controlling the flower field of the blood lotus is equivalent to slapping the criminals who smuggle the red cold iron and the blood lotus.

It was a moment of disappointment for me.

"Erchen is against it!"

Just when I was embarrassed, the ninth sister spoke.

"The flower field of the blood lotus is located on the cliff of the Lauren Snow Mountain, and there is no city around it except for Yinhui City!"

"If your country really has the heart to exchange, then please hand over Canghui City to us as well!"

Shirley took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a smile.

"You!!"

I wanted to go crazy, but I held back it.

This can't be blamed on the lack of concentration, after all, being asked to give up the capital is unacceptable to anyone.

"Moreover, your country has sent troops to negotiate with us!" "Shirley said a little provocatively, "If you don't agree, the empire can immediately send troops to exterminate your country's troops~!"

“......”

When he heard this, he bit his lips and clenched his fists, and he was silent for a long time.

"It's impossible!" Alice played duplicity with her sleepy eyes half-open, "The Imperial forces don't have enough time to assemble!"

Alice, as a civil official, is obviously nosy and has nothing to do when she says this.

But that's also where Alice is most embarrassed.

As the granddaughter of the state leader, she can't stand in opposition to her grandfather, she must support her grandfather, but she doesn't support allowing the Duchy of Riglot to attack the kingdom of Etheldordo, otherwise it will be a betrayal of her friend. When you come to the reception room, you can't help but talk. Alice had no choice but to play duplicitous. It's really hard for her.

"This is not difficult to do!" the ninth sister brushed her black hair, "Although the empire does not have enough time to gather troops, as long as this king gives an order, the jade army can directly attack Canghui City!

After speaking, the ninth sister came to the Hades Emperor and knelt down.

"Father, we are running out of time, and I respectfully ask you to make a decision immediately!"

The ninth sister arched her hand and said.
