Chapter 723: The Emperor Is Supreme
After some communication with the other party's envoy, Leiner unified the request to set the negotiation time in the afternoon.
After the other party's envoy left, the vassals under his command began to celebrate happily. Everyone was in an extremely bright mood. After nearly half a year of expedition, they were finally about to win.
They are all wondering what kind of benefits they can get. It is impossible to not give benefits to the enemy after being beaten like this. Now these lords have become the most steadfast hardliners, even if Reiner wants less I'm afraid they will all object.
The location of the negotiation was set within the outer city of Lu Gaoyin Fortress, on the square outside the inner wall. After enjoying a simple celebration banquet slowly, Leiner pursed his lips and told the lords to do a good job. Prepare.
"Haha! Those damned bastards, at least they can't hold on this time. If their blood vessels are not torn to bleed, my surname will not be Merland!" Earl Jorral had already begun to imagine, his loud voice even It was Rainer who could hear it from the tent.
He smiled helplessly, only to hear someone joking with him: "Maybe your surname is really not Molande! Hahahaha!"
The passage of time every minute and every second seems very long to the lords of the imperial army, and they can't wait to cut the flesh from the Jihad coalition army.
"The time is up!" Reiner stood up from the chair and said, "Now, let us get back everything including the principal and interest!"
Reiner is wearing an extremely gorgeous armor, which is much more decorative than practical, but it just fits his identity.
A group of lords followed Leiner with their personal guards. Following Leiner into the outer wall was the Scarlet Griffon Knights, which were extremely powerful in individual combat.
With them around, even if Leiner is surrounded, he is confident that he can break out of the encirclement.
A group of people marched into the outer wall of the Lu Gaoyin Fortress. The army under Leiner's command had already prepared tables and chairs for negotiations here, and the place was completely under his control.
Hundreds of elite imperial soldiers held spears and stood around the square. While ensuring the safety of Lena, they also brought great deterrence to the people of the Jihad coalition forces.
Reiner sits on the main seat of the long table with a big horse. According to the past custom, in the case of a peace and armistice, there should be two chairs at the main seat of the long table, respectively authored by the person with the highest status on both sides of the war. .
However, there is only one chair on the main seat of the long table.
This seat belongs to Lehner.
Not only did the lords of the empire not question Rainer's arrangement, but they overwhelmingly agreed with it. The supremacy of the emperor of the empire cannot be compared with anyone, not even Pope Rosa.
In this regard, Reiner loves the great old emperor to death. If there is no him, I guess he would be the emperor, which is similar to the previous Shenluo Caesar. Although he has the title of emperor, he can't actually achieve it. With an antenna in his mouth, what's the point of such an emperor doing it or not?
At this time, the empire, after the reform and management of the old emperor, not only reformed religion, but also established the tone that imperial power was greater than divine power, and emphasized the supremacy of imperial power.
As the emperor of the empire, he not only has the supreme status, but also has great rights in his hands. In addition to retaining his own territory, army and judicial power, the lords must obey the emperor's orders unconditionally. This is something that no kingdom can do. arrived.
Leiner had already simulated the negotiation requirements in his mind, and he was going to make a big opening. Anyway, he had never suffered a loss in every negotiation, and this time was no exception.
After a while, the lords of the Jihad coalition army arrived at the square with Pope Rosa and the kings, and they were accompanied by a large number of personal guards. Obviously, they did not trust Rainer's integrity.
When the kings and Pope Rosa arrived here, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, because they saw that there was no second chair on the most honored seat on the negotiating table.
Some of them were angry, some sighed, and their expressions were different.
This war has brought the authority of Rosa Church to the bottom, and the change of some people's attitude is the best proof.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Reiner raised his eyebrows and pointed to the twelve chairs in front of him and said to everyone.
The kings of the coalition forces and Pope Rosa looked at each other in blank dismay. They hesitated to speak, but they didn't say anything.
In the end, it was the general beside Pope Rosa who stood up. He was the one who had commanded the church army and the army of Reiner's headquarters on the frontal battlefield.
"Your Majesty, I think a chair should be placed beside you for the Pope, who is also supreme!"
"Oh?" Leiner's body left the back of the chair, leaned slightly to look at the general and said, "First of all, I would like to remind you that you should respectfully call me His Majesty the Emperor. Secondly, as the emperor of the empire, I really hate the feeling of looking up!"
Folding his hands across his chest, he said with a smile, "But I forgive you, the faithful deserve privileges!"
"But!" Lena's tone suddenly became cold.
"Be clear!" Leiner put down his right hand, tapped the table twice with his index finger, and raised his voice: "The emperor is supreme, unique, and the most honorable person in this world!"
"Understood?" Leiner's eyes swept across the crowd of the Jihad coalition army: "No matter who you are, no matter how noble your status is, you should bow your head in front of the emperor and be respectful!"
Finally, Reiner's eyes stayed on Pope Rosa.
Pope Rosa didn't have any expression on his old face, he half-opened his eyes as if he didn't hear Reiner's words.
"Damn it, how dare you ignore His Majesty's words, do you still want to fight again? I'm going to pull out your intestines and stuff them into your mouths!" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Earl Jollal suddenly became furious.
"That's right! Don't be too arrogant! Otherwise, we'll fight again!"
"See if I don't screw your heads off!"
As the winning side, the vassals under Leiner's command can be said to be arrogant, and their words also made the kings and lords of the Jihad coalition army very dissatisfied. The meaning of losing is not losing.
"Okay!" Leiner waved his hand, and the vassals under his command immediately shut their mouths, waiting for Leiner's speech.
The lords of the jihad coalition also stopped speaking, and they hoped to promote peace as soon as possible.
"Although my vassals are a little irritable, it's not without reason. I don't want my words to be unresponsive. What do you think?"
"Yes... yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!" A king said in a difficult way.
"Very good!" Reiner said with a smile: "Since you cooperate like this, the hope of restoring peace between us will be much greater!"
"So, what do you think? Dear Pope Rosa?" Reiner looked at the Pope in front of him with burning eyes, narrowing his eyes slightly.
