A few days later, the news of the fall of Balemburg followed in the footsteps of refugees to Dukang, the capital of the Kingdom of Derj. For a while, the city was shocked, and King Mariano of Derj paled in shock and could not speak directly. Come, you must know that the main army of the kingdom is stationed in Balem Fort. After this army is eliminated, the kingdom will not have many soldiers to participate in the war.

Mariano originally wanted to take advantage of the Winster's multi-line combat situation, to enter the Cunha area, grab money and people to grab food, and if lucky, occupy a few Governor's districts. But he did not expect that the Winsters actually stationed a standing army in the Cunha area, and directly defeated the army he sent out. If it was only defeated, it would be fine. More importantly, the walls of the Balem Fort were actually Unable to stop their pace, they fell...

"We should send envoys to seek peace from the Winsters." Mariano looked at the courtiers in the court and said, "No matter what the price is, we must let the Winsters withdraw their troops, or the fate of the country will be subjugated. Come on everyone's head!"

"But Your Majesty, we don't have enough chips to persuade the Winsters to withdraw. You know, without the army, we are like a beast without sharp teeth, which can be slaughtered..." a courtier said, his words were quick It was approved by others.

Mariano knows this truth well, but he still retains a trace of illusion in his heart. Maybe the Winsters will really withdraw their troops?

At this time, the diplomatic officer in the crowd came out. He spoke a little hoarsely and said: "My king, if I want the Winsters to retreat, I have an idea, but it will cost us a lot. cost."

"What?" Mariano asked.

“Ceding several countries to the Winsters and paying a large sum of money at the same time, this may be able to appease the Winsters." Diplomat Crowley said, and then he explained: "The Winsters are now facing In multi-line operations, you must fight the coalition forces of nine countries at the same time in the west, and the Kingdom of Ramirez in the southeast. The northeast is also at war with us. There will be insufficient troops. After discussing peace with us, they will be able to Take out your hand to deal with the coalition forces in the West or the Kingdom of Ramirez in the southeast. Instead of continuing to fight with us, it is better to get enough benefits and then withdraw. I believe that any smart person will make the right decision."

After Crowley finished speaking, the murmurs of courtiers rang out in the palace. They discussed with each other the proposal of the Diplomat. Many people thought it made sense, but there were also people who opposed it. Only one of them walked away from the crowd. When he came out, he first saluted the king and then the diplomat, and then said: "Your Majesty, the diplomat, I think that although the proposal of the diplomat is very reasonable, if it is really implemented, it may be catastrophic to our country. Blow."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "There are only six of our country, including Cooley. If the territory is to be ceded to the Winsters, Cooley will naturally not be counted. Dukangling, where Dukang is located, cannot be ceded, so there are only four countries left. The Winsters have an advantage and they will definitely open their mouths and ask for the cede of two or even three countries. If we agree to their request, our country’s national strength will suffer a heavy loss. It has just escaped from the danger of extinction by the Winsters, and we will welcome the coveting of surrounding countries..."

He didn't finish the rest, but everyone present could understand what he didn't finish.

As soon as they think of this, people's expressions change drastically. Yes, the threat of Winsters is far greater than the threats given to them by other countries, so they subconsciously forget the surrounding countries. If they have suffered heavy losses because of this war, It is guaranteed that the neighboring parliament that had good relations in the past will not take advantage of the fire and directly annex them.

"Then what should we do?" King Mariano asked anxiously. He looked at the talking young courtier hopefully. If he remembers correctly, this courtier fled from there after the fall of the Republic of Cunha and went to him. of.

"Surrender to the Winsters, voluntarily become a subject of the Winsters, and join the Winsters against the coalition forces." The courtier said firmly, his tone of voice couldn't be heard.

"what?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at the courtier incredulously. The latter quickly explained: "According to the usual style of the Winsters, they will not easily annex a country, just like the kingdom of Ramirez, once defeated. Yu was still in the hands of Richard, the Earl of Cuban in the Kingdom of Ravana, but Richard did not show much demand for land. He just asked the Ramirez to abandon their legal claims on the occupied areas and ceded away from their capital. A castle fifty miles away, as a surveillance. When fighting with my home country, the Republic of Cunha, they forced the Principality of Western Konakhta to surrender. The Republic of Nigeria and its allies declared war.

There is also the Principality of Lasik, I won’t go into details. Everyone knows that the strength of the Winsters is far higher than that of the Lasiks, and they didn’t choose to continue the war~lightnovelpub.net~ but just let La The Sikhs ceded a country and signed a contract. Doesn't this explain? "

Speaking of this, some people in the crowd raised questions, and he asked: "Damian, your home country, the Republic of Cunha, was annexed by the Winsters. How can you guarantee that they will not treat the Republic of Cunha? Treat us the same?"

"This is not comparable." said the courtier named Damian. "The Republic of Cunha was the main promoter of the Jutian rebellion. How could the hatred of the Republic of Cunha let King Richard easily let it go? But We are different. We have never had much intersection with the Kingdom of Winster. This time the war was only provoked by the Kingdom of Pravia. As long as we put all the responsibilities on the people of Pravia, we would then offer generous rewards. Apologize, I believe the Winsters will not hold us accountable anymore."

Listening to Damian’s words, King Mariano was a little moved. He glanced at the Minister of Foreign Affairs and then at the cabinet members in the front row of the crowd. Seeing that they had no objections, His Majesty the King coughed slightly, yes. The young courtier said, "Damian, I appoint you as a messenger to negotiate peace with the Winsters. As long as you can persuade the Winsters to retreat, I will reward you generously."

Damian, who was suddenly appointed, was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I will try my best to persuade the Winsters to retreat."
