The King of Knights in a Different World

In this plan, the generals are only their own obstacles.

I need them to die to realize their value, but not to live.

Having said that, Aristotle finally realized that he still underestimated the... young king in front of him.

Or in other words, at the age when he could almost be Lucifer's grandfather, he never really faced Lucifer.

"I understand.

Kill them at that time, and you will lose one bargaining chip in the subsequent armistice agreement.

You are weak there, thinking about how to preserve your strength, so they can survive.

I underestimated you."

There was a sigh in Aristotle's words.

He used to think that the minds of people of age are the least...mature and the best to control.

But now it seems that he has seen the wrong object at all.

No matter what other people are doing, he is at least sure that this...the king is not like this.

It is kind on the surface, but it is not soft when it should be cruel. This decisiveness is daunting.

"It should be said that my age makes you never see me clearly."

With that, Lucifer included the other kings and sages.

Everyone feels that this king, who is just over twenty years old, is still too young, lacking experience, and will make mistakes in judgment.

But it is this superiority that comes from age that gives them a fatal weakness.

"After seeing your actions before, I subconsciously thought that you were too kind to be king.

This decisiveness turns out that you already have it, but we haven't found it yet.

Whether it's me or the king, or Seneca, or even Caligula."

Aristotle also looked squarely at Lucifer as the old fox his counterpart.

"It's just that a person who is too perfect as a knight can't become a king. You should see this earlier.

Let's talk about your conditions.

Hope it will satisfy me."

Lucifer did not continue this topic, but went directly to the topic.

"Macedonia stepped back from the front line, surrendered the fortress of Tecris and the territory of a surrounding earl, and recognized all the power of Britain in the Papal State.

But this treaty can only be signed in secret."

Aristotle confidently stated his conditions, and he believed that Lucifer would not refuse this attractive condition.

However... "Is it just that?"

Lucifer said with a smile.

no.511 Don't be too greedy

The sudden rhetorical question made Aristotle stunned, and he began to feel whether his purpose was seen through by Lucifer.

In fact, his condition looks very good, and it can even be said that he gave a big bargain for nothing, but there is an unknown sinister intention hidden in it.

The surrendered fortress is different from the territory and France.France has disappeared, so Britain has become the real ruler and no one opposes it.

But Macedonia has not disappeared, and people living there will still miss the King of Conquerors.

In addition, if Britain is stationed here, more supplies will be a problem, and less is not safe.

This will become a problem.

Even Lucifer has a large number of troops stationed here, when Macedonia uses the advantages of Renhe, it can also pit Britain.

Therefore, this free land is actually a bomb.

Because of Lucifer's current strength, it is not easy to garrison if he wants it.

Even after he was ready for Lucifer to agree, he would find a way to leave the fortress to the back door or something.

However, Lucifer didn't seem to have much interest at this time.

"This is not satisfactory to your majesty, and your majesty is too greedy."

Aristotle said so on the surface, but in his heart he was ready to continue digging for Lucifer.

However, just when he thought Lucifer was not satisfied, Lucifer said something that shocked him.

"Are you greedy?

To be honest, I never conceal my liking for the things I love, and I desperately want to hold the women I like in my arms.

But this time, the sage misunderstood me."

"misunderstanding"

"Macedonia has been defeated three times. If you still use this method to force you to vacate the fortress and even the land next to it, it would seem to me that I am a little uncomfortable.

Other kings might think I want to kill them all."

Lucifer smiled and deliberately said words that were very consistent with his benevolent monarch.

Be happy, be joyful.

Hope you can still laugh after a while.

"Your Majesty means."

At this time, Aristotle thought that Lucifer was really a chivalrous spirit, and when he was about to give him a great kindness, Lucifer continued.

"Fortresses and land are spared.

In exchange, Macedonia paid money equivalent to the fortress and the land as a ransom.

Things remain the same in the Papal State.

Even I myself will publicly declare my misunderstanding with Macedonia to show my sincerity.

Under this condition, will the sage think I am greedy"

On the surface, Lucifer's words are indeed a favor.

Using money to redeem land is not uncommon in this era.

Faced with the choice of land and money, most nobles and kings would choose land instead of money.

After all, taxes can be collected if money is gone, and land is really gone if there is no land.

However, this is contrary to Aristotle's ideas.

"This... Your Majesty, there is not so much money in our treasury for the time being."

Aristotle's joy gradually became cold.

On the contrary, he is a little unclear whether Lucifer simply loves money or sees through his secret scheme.

If he simply loves money, he feels a little different.

He has investigated Lucifer's life, and although he usually doesn't mean to be frugal, his life as a king is indeed the most ordinary of the seven kings.

But if you don't love money, the other party seems to like money more than land.

"no problem.

Without money, I also accept other people's substitutes, such as food, or magic prisms, magic iron ore and the like, um, blood clotting plants and other medicinal materials are also good.

But these things are not as shiny as gold coins after all, so an extra layer is needed."

Lucifer gave out some supplies at random.

These materials all need the very important kind..., the magic prism is related to the magician, the ore is a necessary product for casting high-quality weapons, and the last blood clotting plant is the supply for making potions.

Macedonia has just finished a game now and needs these things.

"Your Majesty doesn't think his request is too much"

Aristotle said directly to Lucifer.

"Excessive? It seems that we have not reached a consensus."

"Consensus is based on a range acceptable to both parties, but your majesty's conditions clearly exceed this range."

Aristotle could not accept such conditions.

"Is that right"

Lucifer asked with interest.

Then got a pretty certain.

"Yes!"

"The sage just tried to calculate my tricks and said again.

Originally, I thought I was tolerant and ignored the sage's secret calculations, and the sage would understand his gaffe, and then repay my kindness.

Now it seems that I will be wrong."

In a smile, Lucifer naturally revealed the cautious thinking in Aristotle's condition.

Lucifer's words made Aristotle completely silent.

"..."

He really saw it through! The voice in his heart sounded, and sweat began to appear on Aristotle's forehead.

"Well, it was my mistake.

Maybe I shouldn't expect to solve the immediate problem peacefully.

Compared with the reminder of words, sword and blood are the lessons that people will remember."

In the words, Lucifer had a gesture of going to war again.

The rain outside the tent was getting heavier, but it was not as cold as Aristotle's heart at this time.

"Your Majesty is pressing so hard, don't you worry that Macedonia will fight to the end?

Your Majesty’s support will not be able to arrive at that time, and the Lyon garrison can’t stop the Roman army.”

Having said that, Aristotle has completely abandoned his disguise.

"You are threatening me"

Lucifer's face still has a bright smile.

You are not qualified to threaten me.

Not only is not enough...qualified, but the ability is also a bit weak.

Now that people have seen through the careful thoughts in their hearts, Aristotle no longer hides his thoughts.

He switched to a more radical diplomatic approach.

Mild methods are useless, and at this time it is the turn of fierce methods to play.

This has been deeply understood in his long life.

Generally speaking, if a king does not like to listen to soft words, he may like to listen to hard words.

Of course, this kind of like may also be worry and fear.

"Dare not, I just want to remind your Majesty that the truce between the two countries is good for us.

With a truce, the two countries will go to war with each other in peace, and both countries will face losses that cannot be...accepted."

Aristotle put away the face of his benevolent old man at this time, and behaved more radically than Bismarck before.

Of course, this is also his diplomatic method, not his nature.

Facing such a tough Aristotle, Lucifer still didn't change his face.

"Is it really"

Lucifer asked rhetorically.
