Negotiation and Miracle

Keosius nodded slightly in greeting.

But he looked beyond the envoy to the dozens of boxes of gold behind him.

The strong Ogres were struggling to carry the box and transport it to the Steam Engine Car who had been waiting for a long time - this new type of transportation has been used in many places.

Even Ogre felt the heavy weight in the box and vaguely guessed that these were gold, but the presence of Red Dragon dispelled all their delusions.

"Not bad."

"It is indeed two million Gold Coin. It seems that your sincerity is more than I imagined."

Sassise took out the silk scarf and wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised the scepter again and bowed.

"Of course, His Majesty attaches great importance to your empire, and he also hopes that we can achieve peaceful and friendly relations, so he sent me here this time."

"This is the sincerity of the Thrace Kingdom and the sincerity given by His Majesty Wilhelm."

Before he finished speaking, Sassise took out a parchment scroll that had been prepared from the interlayer of his robe and slowly unfolded it.

Engraved on it are lines of magical Common Tongue text, the general content of which is: Thrace Kingdom and Embers of the Burned Empire have concluded a peace treaty and will not invade each other within one year.

However, Keosius's eyes darkened, and the dragon power around him dispersed as if it were real.

"Fraud on the contract—I'm afraid that's not a good thing, right?"

"As a descendant of Aragon I, don't you even have the most basic integrity?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Sassise's hands were shaking like chaff, and sweat was falling continuously.

He secretly blamed their king for being so smart that he thought of this way to protect the kingdom's territory.

"Where is the Katpa Hills I want?"

Keosius asked bluntly.

Sassise barely stood up straight and replied, "Your Majesty, Kattepa Area is too barren and desolate to deserve this great contract. We may be able to use other methods to make up for it."

"That's enough."

Keosius said coldly.

"You think I care about the land?"

"Embers of the Burned Empire cannot be choked by any country."

"If Thrace Kingdom is unwilling to hand over Kattepa Area, then I would rather form a military alliance with the Kassand Kingdom and take this land back from your hands!"

Keosius's tone paused, and he slowly stood up from the venue, showing a ferocious smile.

"At that time, you will not only lose Kattepa Area, but the two-thirds of the territory north of the Radiant Mountain Range."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, calm down!"

The hurricane formed by the dragon's power surged in, Sassise fell backward with a plop, and the contract in his hand suddenly dimmed, and then turned into ashes.

"You, you misunderstood. This is really a misunderstanding. This is not the final contract, it is just one of the proposals proposed by the Thrace Kingdom!"

He hurriedly took out another parchment scroll from his arms, raised it high, and hurriedly unfolded it.

This time the contract finally clearly stated:

"Thrace Kingdom will donate Carter's fear area to the Embers of the Burned Empire."

"Signed by: Wilhelm. Aragon"

"Your Majesty, this is our Thrace Kingdom's real contract!"

It turned out that although the ministers of Wilhelm and Thrace Kingdom did not value the barren Kattepa Area, they were not willing to hand it over easily.

This not only damages the majesty of the kingdom, but also makes Embers of the Burned Empire a greater threat to them.

Therefore, they made different contracts, allowing Sassise to argue with each other and strive to preserve the territory of the kingdom, allowing them to continue to control the throat leading to Anzeta Great Wasteland.

Now, seeing no hope of persuasion, Sassise took out the last contract.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Not very good."

Keosius sneered.

"As expected of the former Fadlanites, he is really arrogant and arrogant to the core. He made so many contracts to deceive me - do you really think that the empire does not dare to go to war with you?"

Sassise quickly defended, "Of course not, Your Majesty, we always uphold the principles of peace and integrity, and treat you and"

"Haha, do you really think I don't know the situation in the south?"

Keosius interrupted him again and walked forward step by step.

"I heard that the situation on your front line is very bad. Your army retreated hundreds of kilometers north under the attack of General Kassand Kingdom Temur. You lost several cities one after another, and even the royal capital was threatened."

"So"

A huge shadow shrouded Sassise.

"Thrace is already in such a mess, who gave you the courage to bargain with me?"

"."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sassise lips trembled.

After a long time, he struggled to get up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and asked carefully, "Then, what else do you want?"

Keosius said calmly:

"However, you are really lucky. Although I am dissatisfied with your arrogance, I don't want Kassand Kingdom to win."

"You should thank me. My request may even be beneficial to you."

Sassise was a little confused and could only shut up and wait.

Finally, the voice of Keosius sounded.

"In addition to the ownership of the Carter fear area required in the contract, you also need to purchase weapons from the empire."

"When the transaction is completed, I will naturally sign the contract."

Before he finished speaking, the contract flew up from Sassise's hand and landed in front of Red Dragon.

Immediately afterwards, under the escort of Tiefling's personal guards, Sashisai and his envoys were invited outside the venue.

"Please go this way, His Majesty has made arrangements."

Strangely, the guards originally stationed at the altar lined up and left.

Walking on the road, Sassise was still frightened by the power and aggressiveness of that Red Dragon.

But he was still a little strange and asked Dayev beside him, "Why did he let us buy weapons?"

"I thought——His Majesty would directly ask us to hand over Gold Coin."

Dayev was silent for a while, then tentatively replied, "Maybe."

"Does he really want us to win?"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet shook violently.

There was a muffled sound from the ground, smoke and dust billowed in, and another long roar of a dragon came from mid-air.

Sassise turned his head subconsciously and saw that the place where Istaria Great Altar originally existed was shrouded in dirt and dust, but a huge black shadow actually appeared in the smoke.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, an even more incredible sight appeared -

The ground in the distance suddenly rose nearly a hundred meters, forming a tall mountain platform that lifted the entire altar into the air, allowing anyone in Istaria to look up and admire the pyramid.

And Keosius stood at the top of the altar, looking down at the earth indifferently, as if he had just done an insignificant thing.

At this moment, it was like a miracle.

"Long live Your Majesty Keosius!"

"Long Live the Empire!"

"This is your Majesty's power!"

"What the hell? This Faction Leader can still do wonders with his bare hands?"

The humans, monsters and players in Istaria City looked up at the spectacle of the "air altar" and shouted loudly.

Sassise looked up at the spectacular scene with a dull expression.

As a mage, he naturally understood that the shaping environment of this scale was at least Ninth Circle Spell - but the emperor displayed it so easily, without even much consumption.

This is the ultimate individual power.

"On Amanata."

"Fortunately, fortunately we concluded a peace treaty."

After a long silence, Sassise patted his chest with lingering fear, involuntarily feeling grateful that he had not acted recklessly just now.
