By this time, everyone saw the "ferocious" true face of Special Envoy Sibia. He killed four other envoys from the six countries with lightning speed. Every word he spoke was like an unsheathed sword.
Every attack is a clean and direct attack on the weak points of the envoys of other countries, with deep scheming and clever techniques, making it difficult for people to find excuses even if they want to defend themselves.
To be fair, there is no shortage of eloquent figures among the ministers of Riva, and Cohen's words are not watertight and unable to be counterattacked. However, the left prime minister died mysteriously last night, and the emperor was present here. In such a complex and complicated situation,
In a confusing situation, who doesn't think more about his own life, and who dares to talk too much in a meeting where the situation is unclear?
Cohen's previous momentum to steal two Riva officials was also an important reason. The ministers would not easily stand up to oppose such a strange and powerful figure as Special Envoy Spiat before they fully understood him, lest he be punished.
Nobles cannot afford to lose face if they are bitten back and humiliated by other people's words.
Among the people in the crowd, the only one who was secretly happy was His Highness the Crown Prince, who knew nothing. When Cohen dominated the crowd, he kept cheering for Cohen. As for the old Emperor Riva, he still half-closed his eyes and didn't say anything.
Man knows what he is thinking.
With a sincere smile on his face, Cohen slowly walked through the long envoy's seat and stood in front of the envoy of Bense. With a victor's posture, he looked down at Prince Bense. The prince felt strong pressure.
, and knew that he had to fight alone now, so his eyes flickered and he coughed a few times unnaturally.
"Everyone knows that the Bansai Empire is very prosperous. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the nobles are content and live a happy life. At this point, the Sibia Empire still has to work hard. Our country's current fiscal revenue is probably only
Two-fifths of the Bansai Empire." Cohen put away his smile, "Especially since the suitors recommended by the Bansai Empire this time have no shortcomings at all. Presumably the Bansai Empire has prepared huge funds for the little princess's wedding, right?
"
Hearing the nice words spoken by Special Envoy Spiat for no reason, Prince Bense acted extremely cautiously. He thought carefully before replying: "Yes, because the whole country attaches great importance to this marriage, so we have prepared certain arrangements."
We have used a lot of funds to organize this wedding. Calculated, it is about two to three million gold coins. This proves our prudence in this matter."
It was because he knew that the Sibia Empire was poor and miserable that Prince Bense revealed this amount. He had already determined that he would not be able to get the money used for the wedding even if he killed Cohen Keda.
"It's really a huge amount of money, but at this point, I want to explain a little more." Cohen turned around, "Yesterday I said that the names of suitors in our country must be kept secret. Everyone still remembers it, right?
?Just when I was about to reveal a very important piece of evidence, the Left Prime Minister suspended the meeting."
"Yes, we remember." The Minister of Ceremony nodded and replied, "The special envoy can still tell the evidence now."
"Actually, the great and wise Gods of Light know everything about this suitor. In response to the suitor's dedication, the Gods of Light have blessed this marriage." Cohen dropped a very weighty sentence.
He said, "Everyone, everything you have heard now is the truth, and the Sibia Empire is not going to talk nonsense on this matter."
"Since the special envoy has said so, of course we believe it." A voice came from Minister Riva's seat, "But the words are unfounded. Please ask the special envoy to prepare a letter. I will send it to the Temple of Light for verification. As long as I get a clear
That’s the answer.”
"This gentleman is really good at joking. The matter has to be decided today. Is it too late to write to the temple now?" Cohen flicked his fingernails and blew a breath, "Why don't I get something that can explain the problem better?
Let’s show it to everyone!”
Bai Ying, pretending to be an assistant, immediately handed over an envelope sealed with fire paint. Cohen reached out to take it, held it high, and came to the high priest of the Liva Temple. "Master Priest, you are the only one here who has the closest relationship with the Light God Clan. Please
Just open the envelope and read it!"
The high priest looked at Emperor Riva and saw that Emperor Riva nodded lightly. Then he picked up the envelope, carefully opened the varnish, and took out two pieces of paper. It was better not to look at it. After looking at it,
The high priest's eyes widened and he could not speak for a long time. It was only after Cohen urged him repeatedly that the high priest spoke.
"Everyone, there are two pieces of paper here. One is an official document sent by the Cardinal Court of Paradise Island Temple to the Sibi Empire. It also talks about this proposal. The cardinal priests of the Cardinal Court have blessed Sibi in advance.
The marriage between Ya and Riva." The high priest sighed, "The second one is a detailed list of allocations. The amount allocated for the wedding is... ten million gold coins."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent. The intention of the God Clan to act like this was already obvious.
But no one knew that the 10 million gold coins allocated by the Cardinal Court were used to pay for the wedding expenses of Cohen's two brothers, Prince Lek and Prince Shifta. After Cohen returned the little princess, Prince Visu
I personally wrote a letter to the Council of Cardinals, saying that the last official document was not formal enough, and that the weddings of the two princes were held together. I devised one text trap after another, and finally got this formal reply. Those who read the letter
How could the high priest think so much? When he saw the wedding written on it and then looked at the amount at the back, his head was already dizzy.
As for the letter expressing blessings, of course Cohen got it by blackmail from the eldest princess of the Light God Clan.
Cohen took back the letter, put it back in the envelope, and walked back to Prince Bensai with a smile. Prince Bensai did not have the blessing of the Light Gods, and it was impossible for Prince Bensai to spend 10 million gold coins to arrange the marriage. He sighed helplessly, stood up and asked Riva
The emperor bowed and withdrew from the proposal. Fortunately, he lost openly and did not lose face.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Tansi Empire envoy for a moment, but the former commander-in-chief of the Divine Alliance was sitting leisurely, as if he did not feel the almost suffocating pressure at all. Until
Cohen stood next to him, and a faint smile appeared on Prince Ulysses' face.
"Your Highness the Prince." What is even more surprising is that Cohen's attitude has reversed. "Before coming to the Liva Empire, His Majesty Emperor Cohen Keda of our country once issued an order saying that His Highness the Prince was his former commander and had taught him
There are many things, so I cannot say rude words to His Highness the Prince under any circumstances. This proposal depends entirely on your wishes. If you want to continue, I will try my best to win. If
You have generously fulfilled the Sibia Empire, and this country will be very grateful."
"The special envoy is too polite. How can I deserve the praise of His Majesty Al Qaeda?" Prince Ulysses maintained the smile on his face and said softly: "However, before I came to attend the meeting, I received a piece of news.
I would like to confirm it with the special envoy. I don’t know that it is not convenient for the special envoy to answer under the current circumstances.”
"Excuse me, Your Highness." Cohen nodded and said, "I will tell you everything I know."
"I heard that Sibia's 100,000-strong army has marched to the dividing line between gods and demons a few days ago and is preparing to launch an attack on the demon empire." The prince put away his smile and asked seriously, "Is this news accurate?"
"Your Highness the Prince is right. Although I don't know the reason behind this, it is an ironclad fact that the Sibia Empire sent troops to the demon genus." Cohen replied sternly, and his loud voice echoed in the conference room, "
Judging from the time, the army of the Sibia Empire has entered the Demon Alliance Wells Empire today."
Prince Ulysses looked at Cohen and suddenly laughed, very heartily. The old Emperor Riva, who had not moved until then, tilted his body. The rest of the people were in a daze, no one excepted.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Prince Ulysses said three good words in a row and slapped his palm on the table. "At this time, Sibia actually has the feat of commanding his troops to enter the Demon Alliance. Just with this
I admire you for your heroic spirit. I hereby announce that the Tanxi Empire has withdrawn from the marriage proposal and sincerely bless this marriage."
"Thank you, Prince, for making it happen." Cohen bowed, giving Prince Ulysses enough face.
After that, the two people kept saying polite words. Seeing that the important matter had been decided, the Minister of Ceremony looked at Emperor Riva and asked for His Majesty's opinion.
"Before coming here, I thought I could see a wonderful scene." Emperor Riva slowly stood up and opened his mouth, "I didn't expect it! All the empires have withdrawn one after another. Until now, you all have a look at this scene.
How deserted.”
"Well...what does His Majesty the Emperor think should be lively?" Cohen complained feeling very uncomfortable, but the smile on his face was very bright, "I will try my best to satisfy His Majesty the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, you smile so happily." Old Emperor Riva was unmoved, "Do you think I will marry my precious daughter to a suitor whose name I don't even know?"
"Well..." Cohen knew that the old emperor was deliberately making things difficult for him, "His Majesty, please be considerate."
"Be compassionate, now you are the only one with the envoys from the Seven Kingdoms, and with the blessing of the God of Light and the funding from the Temple of Light, how can I not be compassionate?" Old Emperor Liva snorted coldly, "What the Liva Empire said must be true.
It will come true. My little daughter will definitely marry Sibia, but..."
The old emperor had whetted Cohen's appetite enough, and the ministers were relieved to see the anxious look on Ambassador Spiat's face.
"As I just said, my daughter must not marry someone whose name is unknown. So! Everyone is preparing for the wedding, waiting for when Sibia can reveal the name of the suitor, the little princess of the Liva Empire
Just get married anytime."
"Your Majesty, have mercy..."
"I have decided." The old emperor interrupted Cohen, "I still say this even when the matter is brought to the Paradise Island Temple."
Of course, Cohen knew how to give up when it was good, so he accepted the old emperor's decision with a "face of frustration". The minister of etiquette wrote the letter of credence on the spot, and Cohen took out his seal and stamped it, and the matter was decided.
At this time, a minister of Riva stood up and loudly suggested: "To celebrate this happy event, how about His Majesty the Emperor having a drink with everyone?"
This proposal was of course approved by everyone. Cohen turned to look at the eldest princess and found a cold expression on her face, with a slight panic and guilt in her eyes. He thought: It turns out that although the left prime minister is dead, the rebellion plan has not
There was no stopping... Seeing the old emperor taking over the special gold cup from the attendant, Cohen's successive glances were ignored by the old emperor. He couldn't help but feel anxious, and almost wanted to snatch the old emperor's wine glass and throw it away.
The old emperor smiled and clinked glasses with the envoys and ministers from various countries. When he was almost in front of Cohen, he turned around and went to the prince's side. Cohen's eyes almost burst out of anger.
"I am very happy that your little sister's matter has been decided today." The old emperor raised his wine glass and came to the eldest princess, "You must be very happy too, right?"
"Yes, Father." The eldest princess stood up and touched the silver cup in her hand lightly with the old emperor's golden cup. The silver cup trembled slightly, giving up the last chance to save the old emperor's life. "I am very happy.
"
"You have been willful since you were a child. I didn't expect you! You are still so naughty today. Of course, there are my reasons for this. I shouldn't dote on you so much." The old emperor looked at the wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice: "
Who suggested drinking just now?"
There were all smart people present. As early as the old emperor was halfway through his pun, everyone fell silent. As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, dozens of shadow warriors appeared in the conference room. They were supposed to be stationed outside.
The female general Winterhal Rennie had already occupied the gate with her guards. The man who proposed drinking was caught by the shadow warrior and knelt at the feet of the old emperor.
"Do you like drinking?" The old emperor said lightly: "Then drink this drink for me!"
"Your Majesty... I... shall be punished by death!" That person's body had already shaken away.
"Emissaries, this is ridiculous." The old emperor turned to Cohen and others and said, "The Liva Empire is going to take care of some housework. Please go ahead. I will host a banquet for you in the palace tonight."
No one is a fool. Of course, the envoys who are still present will go as far as they can. Cohen estimated in his mind that many people may lose their heads... I didn't expect it! The real old fox is Emperor Riva.
I didn't expect him to get a big deal. This old boy was not here to preside over the marriage proposal. He was clearly here to exterminate the rebels...
"Why did His Highness quit at the end?" Prince Tansi got on the carriage, and the adjutant asked with a puzzled look, "If we fight with all our strength, with His Highness' ability, Tansi will not necessarily lose!"
"You should know!" the prince replied softly, "Sibiya is fighting demons."
"I know! Does it have anything to do with the proposal?" The adjutant became even more confused.
"This marriage is not very important to Tansi. The reason why the king was so insistent at the beginning was to use this matter as a bargaining chip, because... I think this envoy is disguised as Cohen Keda." The prince
Turning his head, he looked at Special Envoy Sibia who was still talking to others on the steps, "But when I heard the news of the war, I realized that I was wrong. This war is very important to Sibia, so Cohen
·It is impossible for Al Qaeda to come to Riva at this time, he must be personally directing this war."
"That's right..." The adjutant nodded, "Because of this, are we withdrawing?"
"Of course not." The prince smiled slightly, "If this special envoy is played by Cohen Keda, I will fight until the last moment, and he will have nothing to say if he loses. But it is different now. If I win this special envoy,
Cohen Kedar will think that I am holding him back, and he will hold a grudge against me. Do you know how troublesome it is to be hated by Cohen Kedar? So far, no one has escaped his revenge."
"So that's it." The adjutant smiled, "Father, I understand."
"Call me Prince." The Prince glared at his son, "Do you know the difference between the Tansi Empire and the Sibia Empire?"
The prince's beloved son shook his head.
"The Tansi Empire not only has a wise emperor, but also has a lot of fierce generals. If there is a war, any general he sends can take charge of it alone." The prince turned to look at Special Envoy Sibia, "And when it comes to fighting, Sibia
But only the emperor can take the stage, and the remaining generals cannot be reused. Yes, they have fought many victorious battles, but each battle requires the emperor's personal presence."
"So in this war, Cohen Keda will personally command, otherwise it will fail!"
"Yes, now you know the benefits of being born in Tanxi, right? A long-established military power naturally has great advantages." The prince stretched out his hand and patted Aiko on the shoulder, "Sibiya is very strong.
But if he wants to truly be on an equal footing with Tanxi, he has to work harder."
At this time, Cohen, who had taken care of everything, was standing on the steps of the Interior Building. Although people were coming and going around him, his eyes were looking far into the horizon, at the line dividing gods and demons.
"Helter, you have already stepped onto the stage." Cohen said in his heart: "Show your talent well!" (To be continued)
