Then he had every reason to start a war, but he deliberately humiliated them in this way.

That's a signal he's sending to us."

When Bismarck heard the news, he was not flustered.

Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Lucifer didn't declare war immediately, it proved that he didn't want to fight a lossy battle either.

That being the case, there is still room for a turnaround in terms of diplomacy.

"Say something in one breath, Bismarck."

"Yes, he is waiting for our second batch of messengers.

If we also admit that the people we sent earlier were monkeys, then we can use the second batch of messengers as the official messengers, and then negotiate with him.

It's just that this time the price may be a bit high."

Bismarck made his guess.

If there is no second batch of messengers, Lucifer will definitely go south after that.

No matter when....

Whether Lucifer attacked or traveled, they had to continue to increase their troops to the west.

If there are too many troops drawn, there may be no one to suppress the rebellion in the country.

The only good news in front of him is..., Lucifer is more inclined to recuperate rather than start fighting directly.

If there is a real fight, there will be losses on both sides, but the situation on the French side will be even worse.

"If he doesn't send a second batch of messengers, he will officially attack with this.

do you mean this"

"Yes! Britain's southern legions have been assembled, and now only one supreme commander is needed.

If your Majesty does not want to accept it, then you can only withdraw from the north and make peace with Rome, and then do your best to deal with the threat from Britain."

Bismarck's words made Pepin think.

The option of withdrawing from the north did not exist from the beginning. Now that the war has been going on for almost three months, Charlemagne seems to be only one step away from occupying a large area of ​​Rome. Withdrawal at this time means that the previous efforts will be in vain.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Pepin originally had the idea of ​​using the war to divert domestic conflicts. Now that the withdrawal of the army, domestic conflicts will arise again, and even the people will be disappointed with him as the king.

After all, he has lost quite a few times in the past two years.

in spite of....

Whether it is from the national situation or the individual, Pepin will not easily withdraw his troops from the north, and he must win enough victories to withdraw.

But when he thought about the problem of the west side, his head was a little too big.

"He's threatening me."

Pepin murmured, finally understanding what Lucifer meant.

"He has been threatening France ever since he let that demon go south.

But this time our messenger screwed up and sending his troops could increase rapidly."

Bismarck has a headache.

If they dared not gamble before, they dare not gamble even more now.

To bet on whether the current military strength in the west can stop the majority of the round table plus the military strength of the two marshals and Lucifer himself, he felt that it would not be possible.

Just when both of them had a headache, another nobleman stood up.

Since the three princes have their own affairs, they did not appear in the hall at this meeting, and the nobles also began to find a sense of presence.

"It turns out that we shouldn't have sent an eastern nobleman there.

They were too arrogant and didn't understand the situation at all."

Count Marla's words were contemptuous.

His words were recognized by many people, most of them were Western aristocrats.

"Count Marla, what do you mean"

The Marquis Nosla of Eastern Purcell responded sternly at this time.

"Isn't it clear what I mean? You guys screwed up.

If someone else went there at the time, maybe it wouldn't have turned into this bad result."

Marla continued.

"The Marquis of Rolle took the initiative to ask Ying, and his courage is worthy of admiration.

Unlike you cowards, who dare not even go."

"But he obviously has a bad mind.

Moreover, we have already admitted that we cannot defeat the King of Britain, and going there will only deepen the contradiction between the two countries."

Marla continued sarcastically.

The nobles in the west had seen this before.... The people in the east were very upset. If this incident happened, he would naturally fall into trouble.

"In the end, it wasn't because of the loss between you that it became what it is now! If we were to go to Britain, we would have already surrendered."

Nosra was very angry and began to change the subject.

And his statement intensified the spear in front of him even more.

"Look, it's just...the marquis of Rolle speaks astonishingly.

Even the Thunder Emperor in the north took the initiative to marry Britain, but you still think others are as fragile as before."

"you......"

Seeing that there might be a quarrel between the east and the west, Pepin stopped them decisively.

"Enough! The solution I want to hear now is not to hear your quarrel."

The king's words made both sides quiet, but at this time Marla felt that her chance to make a contribution had come.

He continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has already explained the solution, and I will follow it. I think the key lies in the selection of the new envoy.

This time, it must not be like before, the candidates must have a certain amount of weight, and they must be smart.

The most important thing is to make the King of Britain feel pity and not take the initiative to humiliate that person."

His words made sense to everyone else.

After all, with the previous matter, they didn't want to make trouble here, it didn't mean that Lucifer wouldn't make trouble.

Bismarck looked at this... Count with a rare look, and he suddenly felt that there was finally one or two characters in the group of pig teammates that he could lead.

"I agree, Count Marla.

If you can think about this step, you must already have a candidate in your heart, Earl."

At this moment, Bismarck asked directly.

"Say!"

The king also gave orders.

Marla enjoyed this feeling very much at this time.

He feels that if this event is successful, the future should be bright.

"Princess Mary."

He named a candidate.

The moment the name was uttered, the hall fell silent.

"..."

Some nobles who knew the inside story began to look at the... earl's death with a subtle look.

Most of them knew Mary's position in Louis' heart, and making this suggestion at such a time would mean offending the third prince.

Marla has also heard some rumors about this, but he is not panic at all.

After all, the prince has three 3s, so it is not too dangerous to offend one.

Moreover, under the aristocratic system, even the king would have to work hard to move him, let alone the prince.

"As the most beautiful princess in France, her status is enough.

The most important thing is that her beauty makes people move, no matter how dissatisfied the king of Britain is with France, he will not embarrass a woman, especially a beautiful woman.

Let Princess Mary bring the indemnity, or even add some money, maybe the King of Britain will be happy to transfer the ice-blood demon back."

On the surface, what this Earl said is very reasonable, at least at present, there is no more suitable person than Mary.

However, this candidate has more implications.

"His Majesty!"

Bismarck recalled what Pepin had said before, and did not immediately make a statement.

Pepin also thought deeply about this decision for a long time.

Finally decided to agree to this decision.

"The suggestion of the Earl of Marra is very reasonable, and I will send Mary as an envoy to Britain.

But the extra part of the extra compensation..."

In terms of candidates, Pepin didn't think there was a problem, anyway, it was an ambassador and not a marriage.

The key is money, if he is asked to pay this extra pen, he will definitely be heartbroken.

But if the country is allowed to go out, the war ahead is still tight.

As for letting the nobles out, they were even more pressing than his... king.

Marla had already thought of a solution to this matter.

"Your Majesty, now that the national disaster is at stake, I think we can mobilize all the nobles to contribute together.

As long as each noble gives ten gold coins, it is a lot of money, and I believe that everyone present will not be unable to come up with ten gold coins."

This time, even Pepin thought this guy was a genius.

In this way, he will not only not lose money, but also take the opportunity to make money.

"Okay! That's it."

Pepin agreed immediately.

After the French court meeting was over, the nobles gradually dispersed.

During this period, many people looked at this... the earl from the west.

They hadn't seen it before, and they've only discovered now that this guy is a manufacturable talent.

Marla happily returned to the study in his mansion, he unbuttoned his collar, picked up a glass of red wine and enjoyed it.

Today's events make him enjoy being the center of attention.

At this moment, a man with... short white hair who appeared to be in his 30s suddenly appeared here. He picked up a book on the bookshelf and said softly.

"Looking at your appearance, you have gained a lot"

The owner of the voice was named Horace, a member of the Roman emperor's counselors.

"Thanks to your idea this time, I finally compared those... savages to the east."

Marla was delighted to pour another glass of wine, and he raised the glass and put it in Horace's hand.
