"Father, who are you? I will not leave you and run away!" Nalant hadn't answered yet, but Stella on the side couldn't listen anymore.
"Stella, now is not the time to be willful. My father regrets that he could not leave you the earldom and let you live a happy life. However, I know Stella that you don't care too much about this aspect, so if this time it really
Defeated, father only hopes that you can survive safely!" Bernard's attitude this time was unprecedentedly tough.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Stella to continue speaking, he looked at Narant and said: "Narant, although your wedding to Stella has not yet been held, the engagement ceremony has been completed under the witness of all vassals.
Stella will be your wife from now on, and her safety will be left to you later."
Obviously, Bernard knew that Stella would not easily choose to escape alone, so he gave this task to Nalant.
When Narant heard this, he looked embarrassed.
Although he, Nalant, had already planned that if he really couldn't defeat him, he would definitely run away.
But Bernard can't just say that now.
He makes himself look like a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
At the very least, you have to wait until you have made two rounds, and then run away when the situation is over. That means you are forced to run away, which is not particularly embarrassing.
"Look, look, what's going on over there at the church?"
However, just when Nalant was thinking wildly, an earl suddenly pointed at the pursuers behind him and made a surprised sound.
Everyone who heard this looked around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a red robe, guarded by more than twenty Warcraft knights, leaving the team and coming to the center of the two sides.
"They want to talk to us?" Everyone is familiar with such pre-war talks.
Although he didn't know what the church's plans were, King Culver decided to go and have a look.
After all, in a noble war, as long as one party takes the initiative to initiate talks, even if it is a life-and-death enemy, there will still be some gentlemen before the war to complete the show.
"Come on, let's go over and see what the church wants to do!"
Immediately, King Culver led a group of counts and headed towards the red archbishop.
Narant was also curious when he saw this.
He was the only one present who knew that it was absolutely impossible for the Church to coexist peacefully with the Agate Principality, or even the entire Glory Continent.
Therefore, he now also wants to hear what conspiracy the church is up to.
"King Culver of the Agate Principality? We finally meet!" When the two parties approached, the red archbishop spoke first.
"Are you the Pope of the Church?" Although the Church has existed in Glory Continent for decades.
But the only people who appeared in people's field of vision were the three thousand paladins headed by Bishop Meyer, so King Culver didn't know much about this red archbishop.
"Haha, Lord Culver, I am not the pope, but a cardinal. However, in this continent, I am in charge of all matters of the church!" the cardinal replied.
"Sir, I wonder what you want to say when you propose this meeting?"
"Everyone, you should all be the great nobles of the Agate Principality. I think you have already foreseen the current situation and are preparing for the final resistance!"
"However, after all, our church believes in the gods of the heavens and only wants to spread the glory of God throughout the continent. Therefore, I am meeting with you this time to give your Agate Principality a chance to live in peace."
"Opportunities for peaceful coexistence? Is it the same as the Northern Principality?" All the earls immediately looked at each other with different expressions.
"Yes, it is just like the Northern Principality. You have also seen what the Northern Principality is like now. It just gives some benefits to our church. Why wouldn't you do it? This is better than losing everything."
"Whoever believes in it is finished!" After hearing this, Nalant felt the hypocrisy of this church from behind the crowd.
The main purpose of the church is to bring dark creatures to this continent. How can it possibly live in peace with the nobles?
Of course, he was a little confused as to why the Church was going to go all the way to make things like this when it was clear that it was going to win the war immediately.
"Your Excellency, your meeting this time may not be that simple. Can you tell me about any other matters or conditions?"
King Culver did not comment on what the church said about peaceful coexistence and did not express his position. He just continued to ask questions calmly.
"Yes, before we can live in peace, I do have a small request that all nobles need to satisfy our church!" The red archbishop nodded.
Then he set his sights on Nalant, "As long as you can hand over this young man to us, then we can swear to the gods that we will never renege on what we promised you before, and the church will live in peace with all the nobles in the future."
"Narant?"
"I?"
The conditions proposed by the red archbishop surprised everyone present.
Even Narant himself was a little confused as to why he cared about such a small person as himself.
"Yes, this young man has a potion that can lure monsters. We are very interested in it, so as long as you hand him over, your sincerity has been proven!"
The red archbishop is very smart. His words are half true and half false, but they are enough to win the trust of everyone in the Agate Principality.
Otherwise, if you say that Narant is a blasphemer or make up other reasons, it will make everyone suspicious.
"Impossible! Your Majesty, they are using a trick!" Although Bernard couldn't guess what the church wanted to do, he always felt that there must be a trick involved.
More importantly, he already regarded Nalant as his daughter's husband, so how could he hand him over.
"Everyone, and the King of the Agate Principality, the sincerity of our church has been stated here. It is up to you how to choose, whether to choose peace or choose to fight with our army!"
The cardinal smiled slightly.
The reason why he played in such a place was because he was worried that the owner of the flying bird would be harmed by the rebel army. Originally, he did not know who the owner of the flying bird was, and he needed to inquire and ask the Agate Principality to hand it over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Nalant stepped forward directly. He had already seen the bird hanging in his pocket, and now he needed to catch the person in his hands.
Once this person falls into his hands, the killing will begin after he turns around.
As for what was said before?
Since you believe in the Dark Abyss, what other oath do you need to abide by?
Facing the archbishop's smile and looking at the covetous army behind him, which was several times the size of his own, some of the great nobles actually started to feel faintly moved.
Of course, the two Counts Rakov and Bartmann are indispensable among them.
"Sorry, Your Excellency, as the king of the Agate Principality, I reject your proposal!" What was unexpected was that King Culver immediately expressed his stance and rejected the church's proposal without hesitation!
"Really? Do all the great nobles think so too? Do you all want to hit an egg against a stone?" Upon hearing King Culver's rejection, the red archbishop did not get angry, but looked at the other earls.
"I'm going to suffer!" Nalant frowned when he saw this.
The last-ditch battle has not yet begun, but the team has faint signs of internal strife under the opponent's few words.
"Your Majesty the King, gentlemen!"
Narant knew that he could no longer remain silent.
It's not that he is worried about being handed over. Since the king has expressed his position, then this matter is almost impossible.
In addition, with Bernard's support, other counts would not dare to have an attack. Otherwise, if Bernard goes all out, guys like Lakoff will not be able to stand it.
"Don't fall for the church's tricks. The church will never be able to live in peace with our Agate Principality."
"Even the Northern Principality or the entire Glory Continent is like this!" Nalant looked at the crowd and said.
