Earl Fores also said coldly: "The same goes for Luming County! Moreover, Gu Laota will patrol wherever he wants!"

But the Duke of the North, who had the most authority to speak, said nothing at this moment and just stared at Kessel V.

People in the hall with different expressions all looked at the Supreme King.

"Nunn, Nunn," Kessel stared at the steps at his feet with a calm expression, as if what happened was an insignificant thing: "Exter wanted to use a dead prince in exchange for our seven counties.

, too greedy."

Russell raised his head and stared at Kessel, saying without any sign of weakness: "What Exeter has lost is not just a prince, but also our glory!"

"I sent an envoy with good intentions, but I was treated like this! Who will wash away Exeter's shame? Who will appease the dragon's anger?"

"Moreover, Stars! What you have taken away is the only son of a father!" At this point, Russell gritted his teeth with anger and said: "The only legitimate heir of King Nun came to the Kingdom of Stars with friendship and peace, but he failed.

Died by a despicable assassination!"

"King Nun lost his blood relative, his only son, and his only heir! Exeter lost the next Grand Duke of Dragon Sky City and the future hope of the Walton family!"

In the end, Russell simply shouted:

"Under such a blow, King Nun did not raise an army in anger, but put forward conditions - isn't this the most restrained and rational choice?"

The hall was filled with the sound of the nobles' unwilling intake of breath.

Kessel's tone was still calm, but full of unquestionable meaning: "The first three items can satisfy you, but the fourth and fifth items..."

The king's voice sounded coldly in the hall: "The stars will not cede our land, nor are they prepared to hand over resource quotas - if I say this, what are you going to do?"

Val frowned slowly.

Duke Cullen sighed deeply, and Falkenholz laughed ugly.

Lyanna and Jayne both pursed their lips and said nothing.

Thales lowered his head bitterly: Is war still inevitable?

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty Kessel," Russell laughed angrily: "When we came to Yongxing, we also brought the requests of King Nun and the nine Grand Dukes, but King Eddy also rejected us.

"

"What happened next?" Russell spread his hands and looked around the hall.

Many of the older lords, nobles and officials present looked tense.

"Yes, we sent troops 'generously'."

"For what it deserves," Baron Russell's breathing quickened, his face grew colder, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"The dragon will get it himself."

Everyone in the big meeting hall began to think deeply about the consequences of this sentence.

Twelve years ago, the wars and disasters that affected most of the planet are still vivid in our minds.

"If justice cannot be served, fairness will unfortunately be in trouble."

Russell raised his right hand with a strong sense of oppression, and then slowly squeezed it: "Of course Exeter can only choose to use war to safeguard our honor and His Majesty's dignity."

Just listen to him threatening word by word:

"At that time, it will not be a problem that can be solved by a few counties or some eternal oil."

"enough!"

Kessel seemed to be full of meaning when he said:

"In your opinion, and in King Nun's opinion, is there no other way to resolve this matter honorably between the stars and the dragon?"

"Do you really want to see the citizens of the two countries bleed on the border?"

"War or peace, it depends on you, Your Majesty," Russell responded quickly: "Would you endure humiliation and show compassion for your subjects, or would you raise troops and go to war at all costs?"

He glanced coldly at the Xingchen ministers, especially Count Zemuto, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Especially, your northern border is not even strong enough to defend the Broken Dragon Fortress in front of the Black Sand Duke's army.

When the troops are strong.”

The Duke of the North clenched his fists.

"During the Year of Blood, the Northern Territory faced Exeter's most powerful army and suffered huge losses, second only to the Blade Territory in the southwest." Gilbert sighed in Thales' ear: "Once upon a time

There was a time when there were more widows than children in the North."

"You want me to make such a difficult decision?" Kessel snorted coldly: "Why don't you just let the stars be replaced by a king?"

"Your Majesty, you are the supreme king of the stars, and you are destined to shoulder such a responsibility." Russell raised his head and smiled softly:

"If you can't do it, then as you said - among the nobles in the hall, find a more responsible person to lead the stars. Exeter is also happy to see it happen."

The whole meeting hall was in commotion!

Many people yelled and cursed!

But Exeter's emergency envoy wasn't done yet!

"Anyway," Russell said viciously: "The next king of the stars is destined to no longer be named Canxing, isn't he?"

Many nobles looked at Kessel with strange expressions, and even more looked at Thales.

This envoy doesn’t know about the national conference?

Thales' brain suddenly clicked!

Sure enough, the envoy was assassinated, the lord forced the palace, the dragon came - all of these were connected. If he had not appeared, this would have been a carefully planned series of plots. As Gilbert said, in the stars and Aix

With the tacit understanding of each other's dedicated people, they intend to own the throne of the stars after the Iron Fist King.

But why did Kessel, his father, bring the conversation here?

The words that came to his ears made Thales tremble with fear:

"So, Exeter, or the nobles of Exeter," in the surprise of everyone in the hall, Kessel raised his head and looked at Russell coldly: "I prefer a certain star.

Noble, to be the supreme king of the stars?"

"With all due respect," Russell smiled contemptuously: "None of you here meet our expectations."

"The people of Exeter only admire heroes on the battlefield - even our enemies."

"Can any of you achieve such conditions?"

"Yes, my vassals are either too far away or unwilling to send troops," Kessel sighed inexplicably: "Those who can gain prestige and recognition on the battlefield..."

"The only one left is the one who has to fight for his own territory, right?"

The whole hall suddenly fell silent because of the king's incomprehensible words.

Russell realized something. He looked at a person and gradually showed doubts.

wrong.

King Kessel...

He is...

When everyone was confused, the fat Duke Cullen realized something. He sighed deeply and looked at the man with a look of pain on his face.

In Thales' surprised gaze, Gilbert let out a low cry as if he suddenly realized something, but then he gritted his teeth and sighed.

Amid the doubts and surprises in the hall, King Kessel V took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said:

"I see."

The king said silently:

"From colluding with careerists in Exeter, assassinating missionaries, and provoking conflicts."

"State the possibility of war in front of me and propose the issuance of a general edict."

"Then I instigate the lords who are ready to make a move, force me to appoint an heir, and watch us fight among ourselves with cold eyes."

"Until the Exeter envoy in front of me forced me into a dilemma, no matter which step I took, it would be the biggest blow to me."

"In the end, you succeeded in provoking a war and colluded with Exeter. Of course, you can easily gain prestige on the battlefield and force me to abdicate."

"For this reason, we even sacrifice our own land, our own people, and our own country."

"Yes, traitor."

The words of the High King are more frightening than the others.

Thales' breathing quickened as he listened to all this.

I saw the Iron-fisted King, Kaiser V, opening his eyes lonely and looking towards the side of the hall, a person who had been silent for a long time.

The king's eyes were filled with darkness at this moment:

"It is you."

He said slowly:

"The mastermind of all conspiracies."

In a low and turbid voice, the king spit out a name that no one expected:
Chapter completed!
