Lord of Lowland

Chapter 520 The King's Decision

King Rex's cloudy and uncertain face was completely noticed by Clifford the Great Priest. He looked at King Rex's gradually gloomy face when he was watching the crystal ball, but he couldn't gloat in his heart, because he The pressure he faced was as strong as that of King Rex, and the opponent in front of him was so powerful that he even had to use the opponent's monarch to contain the opponent's momentum.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Priest Clifford said, "Now His Majesty knows why Earl Cecil was able to get an unexpected breakthrough from the central front so easily, right? What His Majesty said is right, and in the following Earl Cecil's strength, if you want to break through to our Yamlit city, it's not a big problem, but I think you should know whether it's Earl Cecil or His Majesty the king who occupies the city of Yamlit. With this kind of strength, I am afraid that the nobles of the entire Eluk Empire will surrender when they hear the news, but whether they surrender to Earl Cecil or the king, I think you and I know better. With such a strong attribute This is indeed not a good thing." When High Priest Clifford spoke, his mouth was full of sarcasm.

King Rex was still very stubborn: "Earl Cecil is a very loyal person. He has never violated my wishes. I don't think you can stop his offensive. After that, you will come to provoke conflicts between our monarchs and ministers." Relationship. Earl Cecil has been with me since I fought against my father, and there were not many people around me at that time. He has made great contributions on my way to the throne, so I am extremely relieved of my loyal vassal .”

King Rex said it firmly, but the priest Clifford is so smart that he doesn't believe what King Rex said.He curtseyed to King Rex, smiled and said: "Your Majesty the King is a smart man, so he should be able to understand the truth. It is important to see whether a person is loyal or not, but the most important thing is his character." It is still his strength. When the strength is not enough, even those who are rebellious will choose to be loyal. When the strength is enough, even the most loyal and kind person will not be able to remain loyal. Once a monarch is reduced to relying on his courtiers If one maintains the relationship between the ruler and his ministers through his loyalty rather than his own strength, then the relationship between the ruler and his ministers will be extremely unstable and easily broken."

After hearing these words, King Rexxar remained silent. The reason why he had nothing to say was because what Clifford said just hit his heart, and Cecil's powerful strength really made him too embarrassed. Uneasy, plus the little girl next to him and the necromancer who appeared to cooperate with him many times, I didn't expect the three of them to be so strong through the power of the crystal ball, and now I think of the three of them coming to King Rex. Said the head was big.

Priest Clifford smiled and said, "How is your lord? Are you agreeing to my peace treaty now? In order to express the sincerity of our Eluk Empire, our Eluk Empire is willing to cede two provinces in the west of the empire." To the Kingdom of Soroland, but Count Cecil needs to withdraw from the province of Mancini currently occupied, so that His Majesty the King can make you famous, and you can obliterate the credit of Count Cecil, wouldn’t it be a multiplicity of actions?”

This condition is obviously enough to make King Rex's heart move. Although the two provinces that the Eluk Empire is willing to cede are barren, the sum of the two provinces is far less rich than the Mancini Province, but the Mancini Province Now it is under the occupation of Cecil. Not only is it meaningless to me, but it may strengthen Cecil's possibility. However, those two provinces are different. It doesn't matter whether they are rich or not. People have proved that they have done what their father did not do, and defeated the mighty Eluk Empire. This is simply great news for himself who came to power by usurping the throne.

But there is one thing that King Rex has to face, even if he agrees to negotiate peace with the Eluk Empire, will Cecil's current strength obediently obey his orders to withdraw troops?Even if he no longer marches into the hinterland of the Eluk Empire, as long as he doesn't spit out the newly acquired Mancini Province, it will be a great threat to himself.If I have such strength, I will never listen to the king of the capital to tell me what to do.

Perhaps seeing King Rex's worries, High Priest Clifford said to him: "My lord is worried that now that Earl Cecil has grown up, he will no longer follow your orders and refuse to withdraw his troops?"

King Rex glanced at Priest Clifford unexpectedly. He didn't expect this priest to see through his heart. It seems that this famous priest is definitely not a simple character. I fought with him all my life but was always behind.This person's scheming is really unfathomable, and he can see what he is worried about all at once.

Priest Clifford continued to say indifferently: "Earl Cecil is indeed very strong now. This is his biggest reliance, but it is also his weakness. According to my observation, the growth of his ambition has not kept up with With the growth of his strength, we will make a time difference at this time, and it may be possible to succeed."

King Rex immediately understood what Clifford said. There are two kinds of people in this world, those with big ambitions and those with small ambitions. People without ambitions do not exist in this world. Maybe there are, But that's stupid or insane.Ambitious people generally have ambitions prior to the growth of abilities. If they have 1 point of ability, they want to do 5 points of things. The emperors, generals, and ambitious people in ancient times are all this type of person. King Rex himself is this type people.This is not the case for people with low ambitions. Their ambitions tend to grow with the growth of their strength, and even lag behind the growth of their strength. That is to say, the High Priest Clifford believes that Cecil is a person with less ambition than his strength , at least for now, although he has that strength, he has not yet replaced Rex's past ambitions, so if King Rex now asks to withdraw his troops, Cecil will definitely not refuse.Now must be the time to make up your mind. Cecil's ambition is smaller than that of King Rex, but as long as he is not a fool, his ambition will always grow with his strength, and occupy this place. The territory of the Luke Empire will strengthen his ambitions, and now this is the nightmare of Rex's past, and he must prevent this from happening no matter what.
