Chapter 462 I Don't Carry This Pot
In the camp, King Nord and the young emperor of the empire sat at a square table facing each other, and other nobles from the two countries sat on both sides of them.
Rhodes sat on King Nord's right hand, opposite him was Duke Elvis, and on King Nord's left hand was Duke Winter of Winterfell.
Even though they hadn't slept all night, the nobles of the two countries sat at the square table in high spirits.
After seeing that the seats were all filled, Duke Went picked up a pen and drew a stroke on the map in the middle of the square table, and then he said: "All the places north of the line I drew belong to our Nords. Shouldn't there be any comments?"
Rhodes glanced at the map. The line drawn by Duke Winter is near the south of the Canyon Fortress, that is, all the land including the Canyon Fortress north of the Canyon Fortress. King Nord must have communicated with Duke Winter in advance to make this decision. We have discussed it.
King Nord's refusal to speak in person must be due to his considerations, and Rhodes can't think of the reason yet.
"You are delusional. If that person hadn't intervened at that time, your entire army would have been wiped out." The emperor sneered. Judging by his current appearance, he must have forgotten his embarrassment just now.
He stood up, picked up the pen on the table and drew a line on the map at the south of Winterfell Fortress, stared at Duke Winter and said, "I think this line is similar. The north side of this line belongs to you, and the south side of the line belongs to you." belong to our empire."
The tent was very quiet, and the nobles of the empire were silent and did not speak. They were very clear that such an idea was unrealistic, and seemed to be still thinking about how to get more benefits from Duke Winter's proposal.
The emperor of the empire was very upset when he saw that no one paid any attention to him. He stood on his seat and said to himself, "Think about it carefully. It is very generous of me not to ask you for compensation."
Rhode couldn't help smiling after hearing this. Although the young emperor of the Roman Empire was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was spoiled too much since he was the only son of the previous emperor.
Therefore, his mind is not very mature, and he feels like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager who is in the rebellious period and always wants to show his sense of existence, but Rhodes doesn't even know his name now.
"What are you laughing at?" The Emperor asked with a frown. He noticed the smile on the face of Rhodes who was sitting diagonally across from him.
"Are you talking about me? What? Don't let me laugh anymore?" King Nord asked loudly. He was also amused by the emperor just now.
"No, I'm talking about him." The emperor pointed at Rhodes and said, from his eyes, it can be seen that he is still a little afraid of King Nord.
"What's your name, please?" Rhodes asked after hearing it.
"You don't even know my name? You are so ignorant, how can you have the right to sit in front of me?" The emperor sneered.
"Sorry, I don't know your name." King Nord smiled.
"Me too, I only know the Duke of Elvis next to you." Duke of Winter nodded seriously.
"Okay." Duke Elvis held back the emperor who was about to get angry: "Now let them remember you."
After the emperor sat down, he took a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in his heart, and said, "Remember, it was Mario Lionel who defeated you yesterday."
After Rhodes heard the name, he remembered a very old game.
"Hahaha, do you still have the nerve to mention this kind of thing again? You burned your own people to death." King Nord laughed.
"It's just some untouchables. They must be honored that their death brought about such a brilliant victory." Mario said flatly.
After saying this, Duke Elvis glared at him.
"You should have killed more people than us, right? You mean that our Nords are worth more than the lives of your empire?" Rhodes asked with a smile.
Just as Mario was about to speak, he was stopped by another middle-aged nobleman next to Rhodes who looked familiar to him. The middle-aged nobleman said, "We need to discuss it now, please give us some time."
"Okay." King Nord nodded, and then he closed his eyes and began to rest.
"Thank you very much for your understanding." The middle-aged nobleman replied politely, and then he winked at a young nobleman sitting next to him.
The young nobleman would take it easy. He stood up and walked to Mario, and whispered next to his ear: "Your Majesty, let's go out and get some fresh air. Don't you think it's better to be with these barbaric and rude Nords?" Is it a very uncomfortable thing to stay in the same tent? I can't stay for a second."
"I think so too." Mario nodded, he stood up and left the camp with the young nobleman.
After the middle-aged nobleman saw Mario being taken away from the camp by the young nobleman, he whispered to Duke Elvis and the others and said, "Okay, let's continue the topic just now."
"We agree to your request, but we still have one condition." Duke Elvis said.
They have just reached a consensus that it is impossible for King Nord to give up the captured cities and castles in the north of the canyon fortress, and the canyon fortress that has been reduced to ruins is not so important to them.
This time there will be a truce for at least five years, and they will have enough time to build another pass in the south of the canyon fortress, relying on the Misty Mountains.
They don't need a castle, a thick city wall is enough, and it still has no gates. When they have the strength to counterattack in the future, they can slowly smash a hole in the city wall.
"Come on, what's the condition?" King Nord asked.
"We hope you can declare to the entire continent that you set the fire in the canyon fortress." The middle-aged nobleman said.
"It's such a request..." King Nord tapped his finger on the table.
"In this case, I don't even need the canyon fortress. It's better for you to do it yourself. It's not a big deal anyway. Isn't it just a few untouchables who died?" He said with a sneer.
"It's really nothing. At most, the civilians in your country will not trust you after knowing it. Even if someone will rebel, just send troops to suppress it. If you have soldiers who are not afraid of being burned to death by you, we will not help you with this pot." back." Rhodes echoed.
If the Nords set fire to the canyon fortress, no one would think that the Nords were too much. After all, in this world, after capturing a city, it often happens that the whole city is slaughtered.
And if the fire was set off by the emperor of the Roman Empire, and if it was set off without the knowledge of all the civilians in the fortress, it is estimated that people in their entire country will fall into panic of the collapse of order.
At that time, most of the ordinary soldiers in the canyon fortress didn't know that they were abandoned bait when they died. Many of them might be willing to be this kind of bait, but only when they knew it.
But they didn't know it at the time, what is the difference between the actions of the imperial nobles and betraying them?
