Chapter 168: Why Is She Here?
To be honest, Prindon had a very bad impression of Herrington.
As Emperor Boon, who had held a high position for a long time and read countless people, he could see at a glance that the person in front of him was a hypocrite with a dirty heart.
If it were in normal times, Prindon would never give such a person a good look.
But now, it is the situation that forces him to deal with this kind of person patiently.
In fact, the Boon Empire, as a prestigious continental power, also has many of its own killer features.
It is not impossible to deal with a strong person whose level has broken through the upper limit for the first time with the strength of the whole country.
But in terms of the strength of the more than a dozen otherworldly heroes who are supported by heavy money, the Boon Empire has the capital to make Hairington jealous.
No matter how strong a person is, his magic power is limited.
As long as there is no absolute crushing of strength, in the face of the siege of many strong people cooperating with each other, even if Helrington has broken through the first level cap, he will eventually be defeated.
However, because the Otherworldly Heroes signed the so-called "Summoning Contract" when they were summoned, they could not be enemies of the gods for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the Holy Fire Cultists, who are the spokesmen of the gods, do not need to worry about the threat of the Otherworldly Brave at all.
Why didn't Prindon use the strength of the Boon Empire to deal directly with Camilla?
The answer is also very simple, Camilla, as the eldest princess of the Boon Empire, has been running her own power in the empire as early as the time of Emperor Lew.
The imperial power that she and Prindon's wields is largely intertwined.
As soon as Prindon makes a move, Camilla immediately senses it and takes countermeasures.
If he didn't rely on external forces, this "virtuous monarch" of the empire would never dare to attack his eldest aunt.
In this way, the contract that was held tightly in Prinzon's hand was extremely heavy.
"By signing this contract, the Boon Empire will become a vassal state of the Holy Fire Cult."
"If it weren't for the famine, the Boon Empire would need to provide a donation of 100,000,000 gold coins to the Church and an offering of 1,000,000 miles of Farwheat." (Rifar is the unit of weight used in the continent of Alpha)
"If the Church needs it, the Boon Empire is required to provide all due support to the Church army in time of war, including but not limited to military strength, food, grass, logistics, equipment, etc."
Looking at the conditions proposed by the sect, Prindon also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
A hundred million gold coins and a million miles of Farr in tribute were more than affordable for the wealthy Boon Empire.
Not only can it be bearable, but it is simply a lot better than Prindon expected before.
He had thought that the Church would make the empire pay no less than a billion gold coins, but now, this amount was only 100 million.
The same is true for other clauses in the contract.
All support in wartime was a logical request for Prindon.
Moreover, the Church did not write a clause in the contract to send the bishop of the prison state to the Boon Empire.
"Your Majesty, this clause is too lenient, isn't it? Why don't you sign it quickly? ”
Nelson's words made Pridon's face a little ugly.
He knew that his chief intelligence officer had completely fallen to the Holy Fire Cult.
But this blatant persuasion of himself to sign the contract of the subject country still made Emperor Prindon feel very unhappy.
However, if you are not happy, you will not be happy, and Prindon has to admit that the Holy Fire Holy See still shows full sincerity in the contract.
The series of negotiation tones he had prepared before seemed to be useless.
"How? We, Archbishop Latins, are generous with your country's conditions for converting to the Holy Fire Cult? ”
Looking at Prindon with a frown, Herrington asked with a smile.
"Your Excellency, let me take a closer look."
"Please."
Hrington wasn't worried at all that Prindon wouldn't sign the contract.
The difficulties faced by the Boon Empire, Latins, had already analyzed him thoroughly.
Forced by Camilla's Y-power, Prindon was forced to agree to join the "Anti-Flame Alliance".
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that at the moment when the Holy Demon Master Solomon has fallen, there is no force that can compete with the Holy Fire Sect.
The so-called "Triple Alliance" is nothing more than the remnants of the Great Magus of the Demon Wizard Country who are "dying and struggling".
As early as a year ago, the Holy Fire Cult had already asked the central powers to start preparing for war.
The reason why Latins has not yet launched a full-scale war against the Demon Guiding Country, in addition to the will of the "new main god" who came down from the divine realm, another important reason is that he is waiting for the submission of the Boon Empire.
After all, where there is war, there is attrition.
Although the strength of the Holy Fire Cult is strong, after unifying the human countries, the gods will also use humans to wage an all-out war against the demons.
Before the war with the demons, preserving the combat power of humans as much as possible is also the basic policy formulated by Lord Augustine and Archbishop Latins.
Therefore, in addition to the purpose of establishing a model of conversion to the Holy Fire Cult, it was also necessary to rebel against the Boon Empire, which was the strongest in China in the Triple Alliance, in order to reduce war losses.
"There is no problem with the contract, Your Majesty can use the identification magic to check it."
Seeing that Prindon was reluctant to sign the contract, Helrington also decided to put a little pressure on the young emperor.
"Your Majesty has always said that you want my Holy Fire Sect to show sincerity, and now the sincerity of my Sect has been written in the contract, but Your Majesty has not shown the corresponding sincerity, which makes us feel very confused."
"Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't want to submit to my sect?"
"If that's the case, then I'm afraid we'll only have to meet each other on the battlefield."
Faced with such a blatant threat from Helrington, Prindon also looked a little agitated.
Once you sign your name on the contract, there's no turning back.
In the end, it is better to become a subject country of the Holy Fire Cult so that the Boon Empire can survive better on the mainland, or to follow the Demon Guide Country with all its heart and never return on the road of destroying the country.
In fact, Prindon already had the answer in his heart.
"The Empire must not perish at my hands."
Fighting against the Holy Fire Cult is a dead end.
Rindon sighed helplessly, and took out a beautiful quill made of magic prism and phoenix tail feathers from his bosom.
Just as Emperor Prindon was about to sign the contract, a cheer erupted in the arena that suddenly interrupted his train of thought.
"What's going on?"
Glancing at the magic curtain beside him, Prinzon's body suddenly froze.
The screen shows a half-orc berserker winning the duel in the duel.
But instead of executing his opponent, he let him live.
Of course, the choice of releasing the opponent is not uncommon in solo duels, and the private slaves of some nobles do not belong to the arena, so the rule of being freed by twenty executions does not apply.
It's normal for them to be kind and let go of their opponents.
However, the most important reason why this duel attracted cheers from the audience is that the losing side is the "king of fighting" in the arena.
Prindon, who often came to the arena to watch the fights, of course knew this invincible king in the arena's "solo duel" performance.
This half-orc warrior, who had reached level 60, would have been free to leave the arena a long time ago.
But he never wanted to execute his opponents, and he never fought to the point and refused to hurt anyone.
Therefore, they have remained in the arena.
The fighting of the king with the "samurai" class is very spectacle, so he has also become the "star player" of the solo duel show.
His failure also surprised Prindon as well.
However, what really froze Prindon was not the outcome of this duel show.
Instead, through the magnification effect of the magic curtain, he saw a familiar figure in a double private room facing the royal box on the side, which made him have nightmares every night.
"Ka, Ka, Aunt Camilla......"
"She, why is she in the arena?"
The first thought that came to Prinzon was "there is an inner ghost, and the transaction is terminated".
Soon, though, he suppressed the urge to escape.
There are still three powerhouses of the Holy Fire Sect by his side, and if Camilla makes a move on him, these three people should not stand idly by.
Soon, however, His Majesty the Emperor of the Boon Empire rejected his optimistic expectations.
What does it really mean for Aunt Camilla to be in the arena?
Prindon, who began to think about this problem, was already wet with cold sweat.
