Qin Huaidao shook his head: "No need, we should proceed according to the original plan."
"We want that canyon. Once the king of the Byzantine Empire dies, the nobles will be leaderless and it will definitely become a mess."
"They will definitely fight for the king's position in the future. We will wait for them to have civil strife and then attack to reap the benefits."
Hearing this, Luo Wu's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly.
"His Majesty has a clever plan!"
…
At this moment, in the Byzantine Empire.
After the nobles escaped back, they still couldn't calm down for a long time!
They were confused. They did not expect that after this battle, not only several nobles died, but even the king died!
How could His Majesty's weapon be so powerful?
One noble looked panicked and shouted anxiously: "Don't hesitate, we should run away now. If we continue to stay here, there is no guarantee that we will not be killed by His Majesty's mysterious weapon!"
"Why are you such a coward? We just need to stay far away, and they can't fight us!"
There were also several nobles who looked hesitant and didn't know what to do. They could only look panicked and remained neutral.
At this moment, a soldier rushed over with a panicked expression.
He gasped for breath and shouted urgently: "It's a letter from His Majesty, saying that it must be handed over to all the nobles!"
Several people looked at each other, took the letter hesitantly, opened it and took a look.
When I saw what was written in the letter, I immediately became angry!
"His Majesty's attitude is too bad. He immediately asked us to surrender!"
"Yes, we are a mighty Byzantine Empire with so many troops. Could it be that if he told us to surrender, we would surrender!"
Several people whispered hesitantly: "But... His Majesty's weapon was so powerful that he killed our king virtually. Do you think we have a chance to defeat him?"
"Yes, I'm afraid that if we can't even touch him, he will kill him directly. That kid is really scary. I really don't dare to be his enemy!"
A few people who remained neutral never expressed their opinions, but looked at them in panic, hoping that they could give them a solution to the problem.
The faces of several nobles were very solemn.
After they thought for a moment, they said in a deep voice: "I have an idea!"
"any solution?"
Several nobles looked at the person who spoke and asked.
"We vote to surrender or to fight!"
"..."
The final result of the vote was that the majority of the nobles chose to surrender.
The nobles saw with their own eyes the power of Qin Huaidao's weapons, so they dared not continue to confront Qin Huaidao head-on. They could only tremble and surrender and beg for mercy.
"But I'm still worried that that boy will cheat, otherwise let's do this!"
One of the nobles thought of a solution, immediately picked up a pen and paper, and started writing a reply!
Soon, Qin Huaidao received a reply.
When he opened the letter and read it, he immediately laughed.
The nobles of the Byzantine Empire agreed to surrender, but they did not dare to talk to them in person, so they decided to use soldiers and fast horses to send them a message!
Qin Huaidao also wrote a reply and agreed to this method of communication.
Early the next morning, the two armies gathered under the city gate again.
Qin Huaidao stood on the city wall with his hands behind his hands, looking at the nobles of the Byzantine Empire in the distance with a smile on his face.
I saw them hiding in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by soldiers holding shields.
They glanced around fearfully, not even daring to show their heads, for fear that if they did show their heads, they would be blown up by inexplicable firecrackers!
Seeing this scene, Luo Wu burst out laughing.
He pointed at the group of nobles in the Byzantine Empire and taunted loudly: "You guys are really as timid as mice. I have seen it today!"
Several people were really frightened and refused to come out no matter how much Luo Wu ridiculed and scorned them.
Qin Huaidao sent someone to deliver a letter to them. Soon the nobles got the letter. They opened it and took a look and found that the letter said that they should hand over the three nearest cities!
Hand over three cities and I will spare your life. You can continue to rule Byzantium and be your nobles. As long as you make offerings to me on time every year and bow your head to me.
Looking at the contents of the letter, the expressions of several nobles suddenly became ugly.
They looked extremely dissatisfied, frowned, shook their heads, and said coldly: "I'm afraid it won't work. We only have eleven cities in total, and he took away three. What do we have left?"
"But, he said this is a condition. If we don't give it, he will definitely attack us on this ground. I don't want to be hit in the head by that mysterious hidden weapon!"
The faces of several nobles were full of nervousness.
After thinking for a long time, they finally made up their mind: "Why not, just give him one!"
"One? You're not joking. One is too little. Can His Majesty agree to it?"
"Then what do you think? Why don't you give up your royal city to that majesty? Are you willing?"
"I... of course I don't want to, but there is no other way!"
"Forget it, let's see if he agrees first. It would be best if he agrees. If he doesn't agree, it's not too late for us to think of other ways. Anyway, he won't do anything to us for a while!"
"Okay, then ask him if he agrees!"
Soon, letters from the nobles of the Byzantine Empire were delivered to Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao glanced at the letter, agreed, and immediately wrote back: "One is fine, but I want you to be in the city closest to us. There is no room for negotiation!"
The letter also attached a map of the nearby area, asking the nobles to circle the cities they planned to give to them.
The nobles received the letter and immediately began to divide it, dividing the Horzi King City to Qin Huaidao.
When Qin Huaidao read the letter sent back and discovered that the canyon was also in King Horz City, he immediately agreed.
As soon as the nobles heard that Qin Huaidao had agreed, they obediently withdrew their troops and emptied the nearest royal city, Horz City, allowing Qin Huaidao to occupy it.
Qin Huaidao led Luo Wu and his party and directly occupied the King of Horz City.
After being stationed, Qin Huaidao immediately arranged for all the people to be heavily guarded and guarded here.
Qin Huaidao took the map, glanced at the location of the canyon, and said softly: "Now that we have obtained King Horz City, we should go and investigate this canyon."
