(460) The Slave and the Emperor

"Very well, you did not shirk your responsibilities, which is the virtue of a leader." Sarantos looked at the remnants of the rebels behind Andy:

"Don't be discouraged, look at my disfigured face and broken arm, I've been in desperate situations many times in my life, and I haven't survived.

The huge slave population base of the Solan Kingdom is there, and everything can be started from scratch, Mr. Andy, you are the soul of the slave rebel army, and only you can be qualified to be the spiritual leader of the rebel army.

All you need to do is land on the territory of the kingdom and raise the banner of freedom again, and you will immediately gain the support of all the people, and the oppressed by the Faint King and the cult will once again rally under your banner. ”

Andy smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But it's hard for me to even protect myself now." ”

The Emperor stretched out his hand and pointed to the Imperial Night Owl flag on the flagpole:

"Valstad is willing to devote the whole country to sponsoring the actions of the rebels, including food supplies, intelligence, weapons, training and medical assistance, and of course, espionage agents and units, all of which are of the best level in the world."

Andy snorted and said indifferently: "There is no free lunch in this world, you just straighten it, what is the price?" ”

"It's very straightforward, I like to talk to people!" Salantos approvingly, then pulled out a young man from his staff:

"Introduction, this is the second in line to the throne of Solan, Prince Ingram Lafalit."

The short and fat Prince Ingram wanted to shake hands with the tall Andy, but was ignored by the other party.

An open fat hand hung awkwardly in the air, a fat face flushed, and secretly scolded in his heart:

(This damn slave bitch...... There was no one in sight! )

Salantos said: "Your Royal Highness, don't you prepare something, it's your own interests." ”

"I ...... Well...... I swear......" Prince Ingram stumbled, apparently reluctantly:

"I swear that if Mr. Andy's rebels can prop me up to the throne, I will abolish slavery and free all gladiators, serfs, and laborers."

Andy frowned: "Oaths are like the wind, and you're still an exiled prince, it's hard to hear, you're nothing now, and your promises are just worthless empty checks." ”

Hearing this, Prince Ingram felt disgraced, and his fat face was bruised, like a piece of pork liver that had been spoiled to attract flies.

At this awkward moment, the Empress of Salantos exited a round:

"Mr. Andy, you don't trust the promise of an exiled prince, that's fine, but what if you replace it with the leader of a powerful country."

"You?"

"Yes, if I personally promised to give you freedom after assisting the prince in seizing power, what would you do?"

Andy's expression was firm, and he said word by word: "What about me?" My answer is,

Take your liking!

The rebels are powerless to resist now, and can only be at the mercy of the foreign powers and used as gunmen. ”

"Are you here with me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, but everyone, I know in my heart,

No one is going to be true to us slaves for some kind of well-being.

I know that you are a good monarch, and you are willing to do everything for the sake of Valsta, but for me, there is no essential difference between you, Your Majesty, and King Solan, they are just cold-blooded and ruthless rulers. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding generals and ministers were angry:

"Bold! He even spoke disrespectfully to His Majesty! ”

More than a dozen Guards soldiers pressed their hands on the holsters of their guns or the hilts of their swords, and at the slightest command they would beat the impudent into a sieve and chop them into meat sauce.

The representatives of the slave rebels in the VIP seats were also gearing up, and a bloody conflict seemed inevitable.

The pampered Prince Ingram had never seen such a battle, and he was immediately frightened and retreated, and almost tripped over the steps.

A major grenadier of the Guards walked up to the emperor: "Your Majesty, just one word from you, this guy is dead." ”

"Relax, turn off your pistol safes, and don't go off." Salantos stopped his subordinates with the iron hook of his left arm and said to Andy:

"It's not very good, but it's all the truth, I want you to continue, I want our conversation to be equal."

Andy's emotions were a little excited, and he clenched his fists as he spoke:

"The equality of all beings is the most hypocritical lie in the world, and the fate of people is decided when they are born.

You are the princess of the Valstad royal family, the Midknight family, born with a golden spoon in your mouth, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you just need to breathe, you can chase your dreams with confidence and boldness, and you will have a large number of subordinates to share for you in trouble.

As for me, my ancestors have never been in the city for several generations, poor and lowly, no one cares, and when I encounter some setbacks, I can no longer get up, and I have become a slave in shackles. ”

"I don't have Sakura"

"When I was a trainee gladiator, I listened to a conversation between two Solan nobles, an old man and a young man, on the sidelines of the training ground.

Old nobles, children, how happy it is to be a Solan people, everyone can do what they love, horse racing, archery, painting, poetry.

The young nobleman looked at the sweaty laborers on the construction site of the training ground and asked, what about the workers, do they like to build walls and yard bricks?

The old nobleman made a contemptuous look and said, "No one likes to work as a coolie, and no one cares about the mood of the slaves, because they are not human at all." ”

Salantos listened patiently to the other before speaking:

"Andy Whitefield, your heart is full of anger, you think the world is unfair, you think you are the most wronged person in the world, right?"

"I didn't think of it that way, there were more people than I did."

"That's it, you can only represent yourself, have you ever felt the burden of the country's life?"

"I don't have that chance."

"Have you ever felt the difficult choice of sacrificing your daughter's happiness for the good of your country? Have you ever felt the despair of being betrayed by your own son? ”

"No, I don't have children."

"Well, that's it, Mr. Andy, you don't understand what it's like to be an emperor, just as I don't understand the hardships of being a slave, remember, no one in this world can really understand anyone else.

Since everyone has their own grudges, why not make everything simpler, let's just talk about interests, how about it? ”

"Makes sense, Your Majesty, I've heard that the Midknights value honor and integrity more than life.

My request is very simple, a treaty written in black and white, signed with your great name, if it can't be done, our cooperation will not be discussed. ”

"Presumptuous!" Generalissimo Neulai pointed at the tip of Andy's nose and scolded:

"Gringo, what the are you! Do you dare to ask for our benefits? Are you worthy of a treaty with our great emperor? Dare to talk nonsense again, see if Lao Tzu doesn't chop you! ”

"Shut up, Neulai, I agree to Mr. Andy's request, since it is a formal treaty, let the Royal Clerk draw up a draft." Sarantos Road.

At this time, not only the ministers of Valstad, but even Andy himself looked extremely shocked.

(What, she turned out to be ...... Really agreed? I'm not dreaming! )
