Kinuit opened his eyes and shivered. As long as he dared to say "no", his life would be lost.
He quickly said: "I, I admit defeat."
"Very good." Chris turned into a dragon-like form, put his palm on the opponent's head, and injected demon fighting energy into it, "I can't trust you, so it's not too much to take some precautions, right?"
Ginyut did not dare to answer. He felt hot in front of his forehead, like a ball of fire.
Chris threatened: "No matter where you are on the continent, as long as I have a thought, your head will explode like a watermelon. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Kinuit didn't dare to be arrogant anymore and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Chris injected his demonic fighting spirit into the opponent's head.
This restriction is very effective for low-level knights, while high-level knights can expel this demonic fighting energy from their bodies through their own methods, which can take as little as a few months, or as long as a year or two.
But Chris didn't care at all. By that time, his strength would be enough to make these guys willingly surrender.
Below, Festa, the Night Dog King, lowered his head.
It's over, everything is over.
I thought those two guys could give me some help to bring the situation back, so that I wouldn't have to become someone else's vassal state.
Unfortunately, the good expectations came to nothing.
Of course, this is all within reason. The three of them combined are no match for Chris, let alone one less person now.
Although the special effect of the Evil Tiger Shield somewhat restrains Chris, it cannot erase the strength difference between the two sides.
Reputation from Brent 5, Reputation from Lisa 13...
The army of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom generated a large amount of reputation points, totaling six to seven hundred thousand.
Chris landed and found Toronto among the ruins.
This guy was lying in the deep hole he had made like mud, dying.
Toronto was still conscious, but unable to move. When he saw Chris arriving, his eyes were filled with fear.
Chris stepped forward, used the same method to inject demon fighting energy into his head, and said the threatening words again.
After Toronto calmed down and accepted the reality, Kinuit took out several bottles of medicine from the space ring and poured them all into the former's mouth.
Chris finally understood why these two guys recovered so quickly. It turned out that they had taken magic healing potions.
"Ahem!" Toronto coughed twice and vomited out a pool of blood. After that, he got up with difficulty and his expression was complicated.
The war finally subsided and ended with Chris' victory.
The armies of both sides did not engage in a second war, but quietly watched the battle between the kings.
Chris returned to the army, first posed the same threat to Festa, and then released his fighting spirit seal.
Although this guy was free of restraints, he still didn't feel any relaxed emotions.
When you think about your own country becoming a dependent country of others, your life becomes gloomy.
Chris held Lisa's hand and flew to the palace of the White Tiger Kingdom. The next step was to negotiate after the war.
Toronto, Festa, and Kinuit followed closely.
They landed in the palace. There was only a white-haired old man wearing a crown sitting in the magnificent hall, and there were no servants around him.
White Tiger King Dorum was very decadent at this time. He witnessed the battle and knew the outcome of his country.
"What are you going to do with us?" Dorum asked dryly.
Chris stretched out a finger and said: "First, unblock the trade routes blocked by your three major countries against our Blazing Dragon Kingdom, and exempt all commercial taxes in my name."
The advantage of doing this is that you can harvest the reputation points generated by domestic merchants.
"Okay." The three kings nodded at the same time, which was not so difficult to accept.
"Second point, obey my orders. If the Blazing Dragon Kingdom enters a state of war, you must bring your army to fight with me."
"no problem."
In Dorum's view, the second rule is equivalent to none. The rule in the northwest of the continent is that except for the period of the Expansion Order, no intrusion into other countries' territories is allowed at other times.
And after this battle, no one who is short-sighted will dare to offend Chris again.
But they still thought too simply, and the second article was implemented not long after. Of course, this is all a story later.
Chris said solemnly: "Finally, the three of you countries must pay me a tribute of 1.5 million gold coins every year."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard bursts of wailing from the kings.
"so much?"
"How can our country have so much money?"
"You want too much, just kill me."
Obviously, Ginyut and others are completely unable to accept Chris's lion's big mouth.
Toronto begged: "Less, half a million gold coins, okay?"
"That's right. If I give you so much money every year, I'm afraid our country will be brought down soon."
"Okay, let's make it cheaper, 1.3 million." Chris didn't really want that much money, he just quoted a high price first to give them room to bargain.
No matter how low your quotation is, the four guys on the other side will try to slash the price.
"It's still too much. If I give you so much money, I will have to raise the taxes of the nobles. They will cause some trouble." Kinuit scratched his hair.
Dorum said: "That's right, I think 600,000 is more acceptable."
Chris raised his eyelids and said coldly: "When you hired the dragon slayer to assassinate me, you must have spent a lot of money, three million or four million? Can you get it now?"
"We jointly took the money, and each country had to pay one million gold coins on average. In fact, we have already made preparations to save money in the next few years." Kinuit said aggrievedly.
"I think you want to divide up my country after I die, right?"
None of the three kings answered. They really had this idea.
"The fixed price is one million per year. If anyone dares to bargain with me again, don't blame me for being rude!" Chris said with a hint of threat in his tone, appearing very dissatisfied.
This price corresponds to the labor cost of hiring dragon slayers in each country.
The three of them communicated with each other with their eyes, but in the end no one spoke.
Chris continued: "You don't have to worry too much. If you can't pay, you can provide goods of equal value. Every time you come to fight for me, you can offset 300,000 gold coins."
"Really?" The eyes of the three kings brightened. There was a lot of space for goods to be manipulated. For example, when certain domestic specialties are transported and sold abroad, the price may be seven or eight times higher.
Chris nodded: "Of course!"
The reputation from Kinuit is 445, the reputation from Dorum is 501, and the reputation from Festa is 530.
Asking them to pay and deliver the goods will also generate reputation points, which no one else can do.
