King’s Kingdom - Chapter 257
“I see…” Theodosius nodded and said, “I see, do you two have anything else to do?”
“Of course, we had planned to have a conversation with us, and it was just a coincidence that this happened!”
“If you have something to say, please!”
“It’s like this, the power of darkness is gradually recovering. The dark creatures have accumulated enough power for more than 800 years, and will soon launch a counterattack against the human world. I hope your majesty can give up among other monarchs. The hatred and desire of the people, use all the power to fight against the dark creatures that may come, and don’t cause loss within human beings!”
Theodosius nodded noncommittally and said, “I understand what you mean, I am happy to put down the sword and stop the war. I wonder if you have persuaded other monarchs, Frode, not to start a war?”
When Theodosius asked such a question, Frode’s expression became embarrassed, and he said with a lack of confidence: “Not yet, but I am doing my best to do it!”
Theodosius showed a clear expression on his face, and said helplessly: “Actually, I am really a peace-loving person. From the time I inherited the throne to the present, I have never initiated any war on my own initiative, and it has always been me. When being attacked by others, you have to defend hard!”
“So, if you want a truce within the human race, you should persuade other monarchs, not come to me!”
“However, there must be a real example to stand up so that others can understand that it is possible for humans to stop killing each other.”
“So what? I’m going to be the first person? I’ll just wait here silently while other countries are trying to increase their strength, and then wait for other countries to get stronger and destroy me?”
“Sorry…I can’t do it, I have to be responsible for my people, and also for the nobles in our country, for my relatives, and for the sake of my wife and mother. If I lose, they will lose like me. everything!”
“Oh, with all due respect, Your Majesty, I think you are different from other monarchs. Those people are greedy, short-sighted, and have no mercy, and you are a wise and wise king, so our attitude towards you is It is completely different from other monarchs!”
“For those incompetent kings, we turned against their vassals. Now that many nobles have joined the anti-war camp, you definitely don’t need this approach. Am I right?”
Gerente had always had no good opinion of monarchs and kings, and this remark of Theodosius was half soft and half hard, and it was not particularly disrespectful.
But this remark seemed to Theodosius, but it seemed strange, so he was also a little annoyed.
He laughed and said: “To tell the truth, I don’t worry about you using such means against me at all, because I trust my nobles very much, they are only loyal to one person, that is my king, and you may not You know, in the Church of God of War, it is very important to use your own hands to win wealth for your family!”
Theodosius also turned back, he was really not afraid of these two people inciting the nobles he accepted.
Not to mention that the nobles of the Lanyin Kingdom believed in the Church of God of War, even if they were really incited by them, it would not make any waves.
The nobles of the Lanyin Kingdom are essentially military nobles. They serve in the army. As long as less than half of the people are bewitched, it will not affect the overall situation, because they only have the command of the army, and they have no training and internal affairs. right to interfere.
Moreover, the monks of the Church of God of War gradually joined the army, and the leader of the Church of God of War in the Rhine Kingdom was the king of Theodosius.
Even if the nobles who have no soldiers and no territories are brainwashed, what effect can they have? Those words Jarante said really annoyed him.
Gerante was speechless when he was choked by Theodosius, and Frode’s expression was also very embarrassing.
He didn’t know what to say.
Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Theodosius smiled and gave the two of them a step down: “Actually, I really love peace, even if it is to start a war, it is a last resort!”
“I can’t put myself, my family, and the safety of the whole country on others!”
“And you also said that most of the other monarchs are incompetent, so how can they protect the commoners in the midst of a demonic disaster?”
“I will take their land and people by means of last resort, gather together to exert a stronger force, and protect this land and even the entire human race. Wouldn’t it be a better choice?”
“This……”
Frode clearly felt that Theodosius was quibbling.
In fact, this is quibble.
However, he did not find a loophole for a short time.
But soon, Jarant reacted.
“Your Majesty King Lanyin, I have to say that you are an excellent leader. Your words seem to make sense, but you did not actually respond to our request!”
Frode understood at once. After all, he was a guide who had read so many books. Although he was relatively young and had insufficient experience, Jarante had grasped the problem as soon as he said it.
“That’s right, Your Majesty, no matter whether other monarchs are stupid or not, there is one thing that will happen when humans start a war, and that is death!”
“We don’t want human attrition, but you only use these words to prevaricate, isn’t it a bit inferior?”
Theodosius sighed, he was still full of respect for the guide, but these two were really not good.
“I have already said that I must take everything into my own hands, and now my strength is not enough to control my own destiny, far from enough!”
“So, I have to get stronger! Get stronger! So do other monarchs~www.mtlnovel.com~ They have the same mentality as me!”
“And I never deny my greed! There is no king who is not greedy! I am very greedy! I want more land! More people! More wealth! More armies!”
“I want to unite people, shape a stronger country, build a stronger army to protect this land, protect my family, and protect my family for generations to come!”
“It’s not just me, all human beings think this way, as long as there is a chance, even a slave will do it, so don’t be harsh on me, I can only do what I need to do!”
“…”
Frode looked at Theodosius in disbelief.
Because the word greed has no good connotations, almost no one would be willing to use greed to describe themselves.
And before, none of the kings they had met dared to directly admit their own thoughts and selfishness in their hearts.
The words “king” and “emperor” are given so much beauty that people forget that this is actually an authority established through violent means.
