Chapter 1683: Knocked Out Teeth and Swallowed Them

"You are the Prime Minister, my personal Prime Minister. If I really have the intention of throwing you away, there is no need to hold you in such high esteem, or even deliberately mold you into a civilian Prime Minister who can rise to the top in one step."

The Orc King's eyes were scorching, like concentrated light, which stung my face.

After pondering for a moment, I said: "Since your majesty said this, I dare you to ask your majesty, how did you instruct the old Duke on the matter of mixed-race children?"

"Why is it related to the old Duke again?" the Beastman King asked unexpectedly.

"The old Duke is loyal and loyal, and he will always follow His Majesty's lead in everything. He will definitely not make decisions on such a major event after discussing it with the ministers and a few others. If my guess is correct, the old Duke will definitely I will also compile a letter and submit it to His Majesty, waiting for the Holy Judgment."

The Beastman King was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, punched the wall beside him, and said loudly: "Old Duke, what you said is indeed right, this boy is so cunning!"

Along with the laughter, a secret door opened in the wall, and the old Duke walked out with a smile on his back, his hands behind his back.

I crossed my arms, saluted him, and said, "I have met the old Duke."

"You are quite courageous, kid. You dare to question His Majesty's thoughts." He chuckled and said, "You are indeed somewhat similar to me back then, but you think more and are much more cunning than I did back then."

"Thinking too much is an occupational disease as a wandering adventurer, but when it comes to cunning, I have a hard time disagreeing."

"How can you not be cunning?" The old Duke chuckled and said: "The principle of 'flying birds are gone, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, lackeys are cooked', is just revenge for your dissatisfaction with His Majesty for forcing you to tell the other two countries' views on this matter. , and then implicated me, forcing your majesty to tell you the conversation with me. You clearly wanted to retaliate against him. You knew that with your status, your majesty could do nothing to you, but you For doing such a wanton thing, boy, do you really think that there is no one in Dasai City who dares to deal with you? Believe it or not, I beat you so hard that your adopted father wouldn't even dare to complain?"

"I believe it." I nodded and said, "Since the first time I dealt with you, I specifically asked my adoptive father about your deeds. He was full of praise for you."

"That guy Dewey has some knowledge," the old Duke said with satisfaction.

The Beastman King coughed lightly, interrupted our chat, and said, "Now that the matter is clear, Xiaoyi, you won't be passive and evasive this time, right?"

"Of course not." I bowed and said, "Please obey my orders."

Two days later.

The three countries of Moonlight City, Fort Vicky, and York City gathered a hundred thousand troops with such ferocious momentum that they approached the city. They were so shocked that several cities in York City closed their gates and trembled in fear.

Simons Locke, the Lord of York and Seoul, was deeply dissatisfied with this joint action of the three countries. For this reason, he sent a representative to the coalition camp to ask why they wanted to jointly attack York and Seoul.

Our representatives directly carried out the rescued female slaves, as well as the first article of the Japanese Continent Convention, "All living beings are equal," in order to respond to the doubts of the York and Hancheng representatives.

The representative of York Seoul said that the female slaves were fake and were an excuse for the three countries to jointly attack York Seoul.

As soon as this statement came out, we knew that the York and Hancheng representatives planned to deal with us in a perfunctory way.

The conversation ended, the representatives returned to the city, and we returned to the temporary camp.

Then at noon the next day, another 900,000 troops came one after another from the three directions, southeast and west. At the same time, they brought letters from the monarchs of the three countries.

The letter made it very clear that if York and Seoul continued to prevaricate in a nonchalant manner, the three countries would unconditionally launch an attack on York and Seoul.

This time, Simmons Locke was really shocked.

Although the previous dialogue was very solemn, it was at best a dialogue between representatives. But it is different now. The letters from the three monarchs represent their will. A slight neglect will cause a war!

Although millions of troops cannot shake York and Hancheng for the time being, who knows whether the three countries will gather tens of millions of troops or even hundreds of millions of troops to encircle and attack it.

If that time comes, it will be a disaster.

Among them, the most troublesome part for Simmons Locke was the female slaves.

The emergence of female slaves means a challenge to the 'equality of all living beings'.

The challenge to the Peace Continent Convention means that it is very likely that it will face a joint crusade from other countries, and it will be a crusade with a spirit of justice and a cloak of morality.

This kind of crusade is fatal.

If you win, no one will say good things about you; if you lose, everyone will blame you for bringing it upon yourself.

In short, regardless of whether the female slaves were real or fake, Simmons Locke had to swallow it with all his teeth. After all, there were indeed foreign female slaves in York and Seoul, and there were quite a few of them.

Regarding this, the Lord of York Han City said that his brain hurts.

The deadline specified in the letter was before sunset of the following day.

After twenty-four hours of consideration, Simmons Locke finally gave the answer before sunset.

"I agree to donate minerals and other resources as compensation," the representative of York Seoul said in a grand voice: "I also agree to the policy of replacing resources with female slaves."

When the representative spoke, he was full of momentum. He didn't look like a prodigal dog reciting a humiliating treaty, but more like a victorious general returning in triumph.

"Xiaoyi," Cagalli echoed, "Do you think people in York and Hancheng are all vain?"

"Why do you ask that?" I asked puzzled.

"Obviously it is a document that humiliates the country. It should be recited in a lower and sad tone, but this representative is better. He reads it with grandeur, like a victorious rooster."

"Maybe only one representative is like this?" I asked.

"No, this is definitely not the case." Cagalli shook her head and said, "If you were the Lord of York and Han City, if you sent someone to recite the document, what kind of person would you choose?"

I thought about it and said: "I should choose the most middle-of-the-road kind of people. After all, the more moderate the person, the more ordinary their posture is. They will neither feel sad because they have lost their power and humiliated the country, nor will they feel sad because they have lost their power and humiliated the country." The master of virtue is triumphant, but he has lost his bottom line."

"This is the crux of the problem," Cajiali said: "This representative is too proud. If such people are all mediocre people in York and Han City, then I am afraid that there are definitely not a few people in York and Han who love vanity and stick to face. .”

"It may also be a trick of Simmons Locke, who deliberately selected a guy with a proud personality to read the document in order to paralyze the three monarchs."

"You are the only one who would have such an idea." Cagalli rolled her eyes at me and said, "It's too arbitrary and unstructured."

"Isn't it good?" I smiled slightly and said, "This is very freeing."
