No, in fact, this is already an open and honest fact.

The Lion King and Alcoron's opposition colluded, cooperated internally and externally, and launched an attack together, which made Alcoron completely unable to fight back.

Although it is not known whether the two groups of forces have colluded for a long time, it can be judged that the Lion King's tactics require two necessary elements: his own strong force and the internal response of Alcoron's opposition.

Chapter 286: Side Quest Rewards

Cook has just explained that if the Lion King only acts unilaterally and wants to complete the conquest of Alcoron, he will definitely pay a huge price, and the risk of repeating the mistakes of the Lion King's father cannot be ruled out.

It is precisely because of the existence of traitors that reduce the risk of aggression that the Lion King is determined to launch an aggressive war.

The Lion King has been waiting for the moment when the opposition cannibalize the country with more holes.

In other words, Alcoron's traitor is the key to making The Lion King make up his mind.

So...what would happen to The Lion King's judgment if this key was removed?

Cook sorted out his thoughts, and looked at the Lion King and Max with loose shoulders again.

This time, Cook switched to a sympathetic tone.

"Sorry, those guys can no longer be His Majesty's cards."

After Cook finished speaking, there was another brief silence.

Max questioned Cook in a dismissive tone.

"What do you mean by...? Are you kidding me again?"

For Max's inquiry, Cook responded directly with a smile.

"Just like the literal meaning. Those guys that the prime minister gave you hope are finished. They can no longer be your majesty's fighting force... Or do you expect those guys to defeat the wise king? If you really think so , then your thinking is too simple. The title of Crown of Wisdom is about to be won."

Cook's words made Max, who had been expressionless, show killing intent. The red hair of the Lion King next to him stood up, and he stared at Cook with a fiery gaze that would have punched a big hole in Cook's abdomen if he could kill someone.

Because it was too scary, Cook looked away from him.

'Super scary.Just two people is so scary.Why do novelists have to deal with this.I just want to make some money, get ahead, and do something shameless and invisible in the dark house with Suxi in my arms.Why should these horrible things happen to novelists! ? '

Because this time the killing intent was not aimed at the envoys but only at Cook alone.This gave Cook the illusion of a sword being pressed against his throat.Cook, who felt a strong sense of suffocation, was about to pass out.

Still, this is not the time for a leisurely swoon.

If you faint, everything will be over.

Cook pinched his thigh, tears of pain rolled in his eyes.

Thanks to this, he recovered a little bit.

Licking his lips, Cook raised his voice again.

"The virtuous king... didn't take those guys seriously. When I was traveling, according to the virtuous king's plan, I solved some bedbugs."

Max, who couldn't understand the situation Cook said, let out a dry voice.

"solved?"

Cook nodded vigorously.

"The traitors' hands and feet have been broken. Now they are just cats without claws. You can kill them at any time, depending on the mood of the wise king. Although the traitors have not been eradicated at this moment, they have fallen into the wise king's trap. The trap has been controlled and can no longer cause trouble. The wise king only needs to tighten the thread in his hands, and they will be strangled to death. I believe...the traitors who are too busy to take care of themselves can no longer do their best for His Majesty. "

Cook glanced at everyone's reaction.He sighed and continued.

"The virtuous king doesn't like to kill people casually. He has his own ideas about keeping traitors. I don't know whether to squeeze them dry or instigate them for my use...just...after I leave Before, as a farewell gift, the virtuous king made some opponents turn against him just by moving his mouth. I think, now, there will be more rebels tamed by the virtuous king. So... those guys can't It worked...I really don't know why His Majesty and the Crown of Wisdom pinned their hopes on traitors. They can betray the virtuous king, so naturally they can also betray His Majesty. Speaking of the traitor's loyalty..... Not as reliable as a brat like me."

"How...how is it possible?"

Max screamed again in disbelief.

After the murderous look became smaller, Cook felt that he could breathe normally.Facing Max, whose face was originally ashen, Cook said generously.

"Your Excellency, don't you believe me? I'll present the evidence right now. Lord Roger...Where's the gift I gave you?"

When Roger's name was mentioned again, Roger, who had yet to recover, shuddered again reflexively.

Not only the Lion King, but all the heroes once again focused their attention on Roger.

Looking at Roger like that makes people feel sympathetic.

Roger showed a painful expression of 'Why is it me again...Cook, you tricked me'.He secretly glared at Cook in pain.

Regardless of Roger's obvious complaints, Cook continued to explain as if he didn't see it.

"Lord Roger, where is the gift I gave you? Show it to His Majesty and the Prime Minister to prove that I am not alarmist."

"Roger, do you have something? Bring it up, then."

The Lion King also ordered Roger to bring things up.

"Yes Yes."

Roger, who had already trembled and lost his heroic appearance, sighed, and sent a message behind him.Within a few minutes, someone brought the items.

It's a big cloth bag.The cloth bag smelled of blood and putrefaction.

The package was doubled, and the heroes who had fought on the battlefield many times immediately became vigilant.

As the package was opened, a large pile of spider-shaped Mithril coat of arms scattered out.Many coats of arms are still stained with blood.

Looking at a large number of coats of arms, the Lion King narrowed his eyes and asked Roger.

"This is?"

Roger's gaze also became serious, and he took a few steps forward to explain the Lion King.

"Report to Your Majesty. This is the coat of arms of the Poisonous Wolf Spider, which is the symbol of Alcoron's most famous assassination group. The assassins of that group will wear such a coat of arms and be proud of it."

Roger stopped talking and didn't continue.Because, the Lion King and Max already knew the rest of the information.

It is impossible to not even know the trump card of the person who cooperates with you.

Following Roger's words, Cook added

"A total of 200 pieces. It is for all the poisonous tarantulas. It was taken in one pot... Master Roger knows best. To deal with this kind of professional, without a detailed plan and deep strength, it is impossible to catch them all. .I, as an envoy, can't do it. The only one who can do this kind of thing is the virtuous king himself...... Is it understandable if I explain this way?"

After hearing what Cook said, Max looked at Roger again.

Although Roger looked reluctant, he nodded slightly.

"What he said is correct. And they also brought alive people. According to our investigation, they are genuine. What the prisoner said is consistent with what the envoy said. I also sent people to the 'Longkou Valley' to check... ..a large number of poisonous tarantula carcasses were found.”

"Your Majesty, do you need to bring anyone alive for confrontation?"

Chapter 287: Planting Trap Cards

The Lion King and Max looked at each other, then at Roger, and shook their heads.

"no need."

After getting the exact answer from Roger, both Lion King and Max looked ugly.

Unlike The Lion King and Max, Cook was relieved in his heart.

Cook only solved the poisonous tarantula. The poisonous tarantula does not represent the opposition, or in other words, it cannot even reach a small part of the opposition's strength.But at the current stage where there is no time to conduct detailed investigations, this alone is enough to shake Lion King and the others.

After making a big circle, the result of doing side missions appeared.

Cook is about to shout internally that he's 'planned'.

So far, everything is going according to plan, save for the hero's unexpected horror.

On the other hand, the Alcoron opposition, which had high hopes, was easily cut off. Disappointment is inevitable.

"My lord Max, the opposition you hoped for has fallen into a passive position and is on the decline. Therefore, if you want to cooperate, you must choose reliable people. Now, do you still think that annexing Alcoron is a very simple matter? ?”

Looking at Cook who was arguing with Max in front of him.

Behind Cook, Sylph, Nina, Sashi and Hall were all deeply moved.

One is because the Lion King that Cook actually said was speechless.As Cook's companion, there is an inspired sense of pride.

The other is to admire Cook's mouth cannon.That is, the novelist's ability to make things up.

It's not just a fabrication, it's also mixed with facts, making it irrefutable.

Cook made falsehoods, deliberately screened information, and turned black and white.Take your novel writing skills to the extreme.

Everyone thinks that Cook like this is very powerful.I couldn't help but sigh the same thing in my heart.

'Are all novelists like this? '

And Cook didn't mean to stop talking at all.

"Taking a step back, even without the support of the opposition, with the combat power of Dalabang, Alcoron can still be defeated. But the result is as predicted just now, both sides will suffer. Many people will die and huge losses will be caused. Just like The same as the invasion of Alcoron launched by His Majesty's father. I have no doubt."

Cook noticed the heroes whispering.

Although Cook was not born when the Lion King's father launched the Alcoron invasion. (When Cook was born, it was already the era of ritual wars) It is impossible to know the whole picture of that war.

But with the mind of a novelist, and referring to the documents that Hall found, he can probably make up the appearance of that war.

And some of the heroes should have participated in that war.

But even if I participated, I can't remember the details because of the long time ago.

And those who haven't participated are fine.Although you haven't participated in it, everyone knows the result. As long as Cook's description is true enough, he can make everyone feel that way.

To sum up, Cook only needs to give a long paragraph of vivid descriptions of the cruelty and negative effects of the battlefield, which can arouse everyone's emotions.

Still using the skills of a novelist to lead everyone into the world he created.

Just like "Unlimited Sword System", when Cook speaks, everyone has actually fallen into Cook's world.

Cook's description ended, and many people were shaken.

The noisy discussion among the heroes proved that Cook's words worked.

Cook curled his mouth in satisfaction.

"Then, let's think about the situation after Dalabon defeated Alcoron. Let's not talk about the casualties and economic losses that have been expected. These things will also trigger various chain reactions. The most obvious must be His Majesty His reputation will be damaged, and his sacred image in people's hearts will lose its brilliance and glory. The family members of the deceased will blame His Majesty, the opposition will also appear to tear down the stage, and various domestic problems will arise frequently. This directly depends on the current situation of our country That's it."

After describing the war, of course, it is necessary to explain the disadvantages of waging war again.As Cook said, he glanced at The Lion King and Max with a smile.

It is impossible for those who play war not to know the consequences of war.

Cook has always picked out what everyone knows, and what he said is reasonable, so the Lion King and Max can't fault it.

"The country will be in turmoil, and the unbreakable rule will have cracks. Just like Shaitan back then. This is an internal worry, and then there will be external troubles. Many countries that hope that Dalabengba's strength will weaken will take the opportunity to make some fuss. Your Majesty is marching south and north. After years of fighting, you must have made a lot of enemies. Those guys can't miss the chance of the lion being weak. And the remaining people of Alcolon will definitely take the opportunity to unite with your enemies and harass them from all angles. They will never forget the hatred between the country and the family. They will not give up. They will be like ghosts wandering in the night, making you tired of running around, giving you a headache, and eating away at your energy bit by bit... I know that some of the remnants of the tribes you conquered in the past are still resisting. . To the west of Dalabengba, some mountain peoples are constantly crossing the mountain passes to harass His Majesty's people. You have an army of hundreds of thousands, but you can't do anything with those guys. They have long become a stick that pierces your heart. Thorn, let you worry day and night.”

After Cook finished speaking, it was obvious that the Lion King's face became more gloomy.

Although I was tempting in front of the lion, if I wanted to provoke the lion to eat me, I could only play GG amidst the laughter.

Cook needs to come quickly to divert the hatred.

Cook turned to Max.

"Master Max...I'm right. Is there a problem?"

Max, who was named by Cook, immediately knew what Cook was thinking, and he snorted angrily as if glaring at Cook.

This is noncommittal performance, in fact, is the default.After all, if the content is the same as the facts, it is meaningless to criticize.So Max will definitely not make excuses.

And Max also admitted Cook, and the Lion King couldn't do it anymore if he wanted to be angry.

"What you said is correct. But the benefits of war may also be greater than the losses. Based on historical experience, the invasion of Alcoron will bring us greater benefits."

Max said coldly.

What a person who doesn't want to admit defeat.

"What you said is true. However, what I predict is not impossible. Especially when analyzing the current conditions, the probability of the outcome I predict will be better."

Max didn't speak this time.

"If it goes well, it will be a small profit, but if it goes wrong, the country will decline and collapse, and the king's reputation will be ruined, leaving a stigma in history... Risks and benefits are highly unequal... ...Whether it's worth doing this and whether it's worth taking the risk, I think...His Majesty's father has already given a clear conclusion. Then, Lord Max...in the end Knowing that interests determine your actions, what would you choose? Now that traitors are no longer a fighting force, and now that the ratio of risk to benefit has increased by [-]%, do you still think that invading Alcoron is a wise move?"

Chapter 288: My turn, launch skills - questioning

Cook spread his arms.

"Some things, once lost, can no longer be retrieved. I can lose, and Alcoron can lose, but what about your majesty? Lord Max? Lord Barton? Where are the heroes? You can take the whole Dalabang. In the future, will the glory of Dalabang be compared with the lives of the people? Can you give up the achievements so far?"
