The King of Knights in a Different World

Judging from the relationship between the two countries, if France were to choose, they would definitely hate Britain more than Rome.

It was seeing this that Lucretius spoke on this ground.

"You think I'm afraid of him! Speaking of which, if you dare to send envoys from Rome, you can't even deal with a little Britain."

Pepin is still very strong.

It was not easy for him to have the opportunity to hold the power alone, so he naturally needs to show his authority more.

Facing the eldest prince in front of him, Lucretius' expression became more...respectful.

He changed his angle and continued talking.

"Of course not, Your Royal Highness.

It's just whether your servants can be as brave as you.

Oh! I almost forgot that His Royal Highness Charlemagne in the north is your younger brother, he may be as brave as you, if you continue to fight, maybe you can win and let the whole country remember his name."

Since Britain has no effect for the time being, it will be replaced by Charlemagne.

Lucretius did his homework before coming here.

His words made Pepin fall silent.

"..."

That's right! He may not worry about Britain's problems, but he must worry about Charlemagne's problems.

The king's body has not yet recovered, and it may even be impossible to recover. He must consider the consequences of Charlemagne's power.

Otherwise, once Charlemagne has military power, even if he becomes king,

Thinking of this, Pepin began to seriously consider the possibility of withdrawing troops.

It's just that he doesn't want to withdraw the troops so simply, at least he wants to get some benefits, and even make people think they won.

After Pepin was silent, Bismarck came out.

"According to the information I have received, your country is already in a state of distress because of Lei Di's attack in the north, and the King of Britain has just defeated your Western Legion.

The present Roman terror is powerless to fight France again."

Bismarck spoke of Rome's current predicament.

From the current point of view, the situation in Rome is not good.

It may be an opportunity for France.

But Bismarck also agreed with Lucretius' initial statement that Britain was a great threat.

Rather than fighting to make Britain take advantage of it, it may be wise to take advantage of the truce.

"Your Excellency is too worried, let's not say that the north has already been conquered by the great emperor himself.

Speaking of the east, the King of Knights did not completely defeat the Roman legion, otherwise he would not have stopped there.

Not to mention, during that great battle, Marshal Boudica of Britain was injured and temporarily unable to march eastward.”

Lucretius responded calmly to Bismarck.

What he said was true, but there were some subtle changes in the way he said it.

"I don't doubt the determination of the French warriors, but if this war continues, we and the two countries will end up wasting their national power in vain, and finally let Britain take advantage of it.

Rather than a war between us, perhaps we can unite to limit Britain."

During the speech, Lucretius made a very tempting suggestion.

"That sounds like a good idea."

Pepin was moved for a moment.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Bismarck immediately reminded him.

"My lord, the truce between us and Britain has not yet expired.

The reputation of a country is no better than that of an individual, once it is lost, it will cause a series of adverse reactions, please be careful, Your Highness."

Countries and countries are not...individuals and individuals. Individuals who repent or others think this person is shameless at most.

But once the countries go back on their word, other countries may not have any peace treaties with you afterwards, because with the previous example, no one will believe that this country can complete the peace treaty.

On this continent, this kind of practice will not only discredit the king, but also plunge the country into the abyss of dishonesty.

Afterwards, even if you lose the battle, the other party may not even want to talk to you.

"I know, I know.

You're right.

It's just Britain, I don't need Rome, I can handle it by myself.

Britain, which is a great threat to you Rome, is nothing in my eyes."

Pepin's mind is still clear now, and he has not agreed to break the contract.

This inevitably made Lucretius feel a little pity.

Just when the topic seemed to come to an end, another nobleman stood up.

"My fellow citizens, I feel that the proposal of the Roman envoy may be seriously considered."

Marla felt it was time to do something of her own.

"This grown-up is"

Lucretius didn't know this...offline, so he asked curiously.

"Marla, count of Lorraine."

"Marla, tell me what you think."

Pepin thought for a while, and then spoke.

"Gentlemen, there is only one reason why I find Rome's proposal acceptable.

Because in my eyes, Britain is the... biggest problem.

Have you all forgotten the shame that the King of Britain sent troops to the south and made us panic?"

Marla began to use the previous events to bring hatred to Britain.

His words really resonated with many people. Thinking about it before, especially the nobles in the east, some of them were treated like monkeys and put in the circus for people to watch.

What Lucifer did before was tantamount to slapping them in the face, it was fine if they didn't say it, but once they said it, their hatred for Lucifer rose rapidly.

"We haven't forgotten, but that's a different story than now."

Bismarck responded calmly.

"The prime minister has a noble character, and I respect him deeply.

But it seems to me that it's the same thing, two years ago, he beat us, and a few months ago, he was still there: threatening us.

Now, he has defeated the legions of Rome.

It is conceivable that if there is no way to contain him, once he starts to attack again, we may face a huge trouble.

In other words, in the next two years, how many times we will endure the humiliation of the past.

We can no longer let the Britons have their way."

Marla raised her arms high, expressing her hatred for Britain.

He was originally a nobleman in the west, so it is normal to say that he hates Britain.

The others were also immediately brought into rhythm.

"Yes! Don't let: the Britons go on doing as they please."

"Yes! Britain is the enemy."

...Looking at the anti-British wave gradually forming in front of him, Lucretius smiled slightly. He suddenly felt that the plan seemed to be going smoothly by accident.

"There are many people in France who know how to organize, and it would be great to have such a thing, so to speak of the truce..."

However, just when Lucretius was about to say a truce, Marla continued to speak at this time.

"My lord Lucretius, the long-term war in the north is not what the king wants to see.

It's just that we have spent so much manpower and material resources, and now we are about to win, but you let us withdraw from the war voluntarily.

Don't you think it's very ridiculous?"

Speaking of this, everyone understands that it is time to negotiate conditions. If the conditions are well negotiated, everything is easy to talk about. If the negotiations are not good, they can also refuse smoothly.

They're just annoying after all.

Britain, did not agree to retreat.

"Not ridiculous.

Nor is it voluntarily withdrawing, France withdraws from the war for the friendship of the two countries.

To express our sincerity, we are willing to give up the land twenty miles south of the fortress, recognize it as a French territory, and pay 30,000 gold coins as a proof of friendship."

Lucretius made his own terms.

But it was immediately refuted by Bismarck.

"not enough...!"

"..."

"For the land ten miles away, pay 150,000 gold coins at the same time."

The Bismarck Lion opened his mouth wide and more than doubled his chips.

"Yes! Otherwise we will never take a step back."

Pepin also immediately echoed.

"..."

Just as Lucretius was thinking, Marla on the other side also said at the right time.

"No! There should be an additional condition attached."

"I don't know what conditions"

"France can withdraw its troops, but the premise is that Rome must go north afterward and defeat Britain.

No, forget it, it might be a bit embarrassing for you to say defeat.

But you will bring Britain back to Victory Keep, and our treaty will come into effect."

Marla's conditions made Bismarck feel bright.

This condition is equivalent to letting Britain replace France to fight a game, and now the benefits of France are also here.

"Um.

I agree with Marla's suggestion, first hand over half of the war settlement money, we will withdraw our troops immediately, and if the above conditions are not... met, the treaty will be voided."

Bismarck immediately thought it was feasible.

Of course, apart from these benefits, the biggest reason why he agreed was that he didn't want to see Lucifer's expansion.

According to the information he collected, this time Lucifer Leidi's cooperation is likely to expand the territory.

"...Master Prime Minister, you are the one who won.

I agree to this condition and can declare it on the spot now.

Presumably the King of France is not the kind of country that says nothing."

"of course not!"

This agreement on the truce was completed when both parties could accept it.

Bismarck does not want to see the expansion of Britain, Marra is the inner ghost, and Pepin does not want to see his brother make meritorious service to power, and finally Lucretius needs to liberate troops from the southern battlefield.

It can be said that each of the main personnel got what they wanted.
