But since the call had come, he might as well answer it.
Shi Huaiya's voice came from the other end:
"Mr. Huang, Gaul's envoy came to Victoria to request an audience with the king and negotiate the signing of a non-aggression treaty."
The moment Huang Cao heard the treaty's name, a question mark unconsciously appeared above his head.
What treaty?
Of all things they could sign, they had to choose this one? The treaty's credibility was even lower than the promises made by the kid at the entrance to the neighboring village.
At least that kid could carry you to Diamond rank. When this worthless scrap of paper came time to fight, it would completely disregard everything—even using it to wipe your ass would feel uncomfortable.
So which country was now between Gaul and Victoria?
Wait, why had he said "now" again? Had some country picked up the wrong script?
...Forget it. It probably wouldn't change the outcome anyway. In the end, there would definitely be some unlucky bastard.
Huang Cao said to Shi Huaiya on the other end of the call, "This can go through the normal diplomatic channels. There was no need to call me about it."
"The problem is that those diplomatic channels were previously maintained by Aslan's royal family. We new nobles have no idea how to handle them, which is why we're asking for your instructions."
"The Aslan royal family has already been chopped down by us. We can't exactly send the only remaining princes and princesses to negotiate, can we? Those two aren't even six yet."
"As for King Aslan, we're worried he might use this opportunity to seek foreign assistance. Victoria would be in danger then."
The new nobles' actions were not without reason. They had never dealt with this sort of matter
