The seats of the nobles in the north and south are also clearly distinguished.
Many southern nobles were sitting on the left following Salamanda. Most of them were gorgeously dressed and either thin or fat.
The northern nobles, whose number was only half that of the southern nobles, sat on the right. Most of them were wearing armor or half-body armor, and looked powerful.
The two nobles glared at each other, as if no one was convinced by the other. If they were outside the hall, the two parties might start fighting.
"See His Majesty the King."
Ryosuke Kawakami, who was in charge of leading the team this time, took a step forward and bowed to salute. He did not turn back until his body was parallel to the ground.
"The purpose of our visit this time is to clear up the misunderstanding with you and conduct business and trade with you."
King Diablo put his right hand on his cheek, put on a faint smile on his face, and stayed for a moment on Akiko Koyama, who was wearing samurai armor.
After hearing what Ryousuke Kawakami said, Diablo first asked the opinions of many nobles, "Trade? To resolve the misunderstanding, what do you think?"
"Misunderstanding? What's the misunderstanding?"
A man stood up among the northern nobles. He was quick-tempered and quick-talking. He was tall, wearing fine armor, and had a stern face.
"Oh, it's like this. Baron Qin Feng killed many of us because of business issues. Although our Lord Guan Bai was angry about this, he still forgave Baron Qin Feng for what he did. This is all for
The friendship between our two countries.”
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Feng, who was sitting on the right. He was eating and drinking without any scruples, not caring about everyone's eyes at all.
He casually explained the word "misunderstanding" and said, "Yes, at that time, they purchased the magic core at a very low price. I stopped trading because I couldn't stand it anymore.
Unexpectedly, they had the audacity to attack me, so I killed them all, but I suddenly remembered that I am a noble of the Bahuo Kingdom, so I generously let you go.
I didn’t expect you to be unrepentant and slander me in front of His Majesty. I don’t think there is any need for us to do business. You should just pay the tribute. How about 10 million gold coins a year?”
10 million gold coins is all the income of a strong country without any investment, which means that it cannot upgrade the national army and improve economic vitality. If things go on like this, even a strong country will become a weak country in just one or two years.
Qin Feng is quite aware of the potential of the Kingdom of Crane. The army they can mobilize can definitely exceed 200,000, and due to equipment and systems, the combat effectiveness of their low-level army is much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Bahuo.
Their only shortcoming now is that they don't have enough high-end combat power, or they don't have strong high-end combat power.
For example, if a master-level warrior like Farut has no countermeasures, their army commander will be beheaded until the entire army collapses.
Now the Kingdom of Bajo has noticed the Kingdom of Crane and their trade with Misty Town.
Originally, the Crane Country wanted to wait and see quietly for the time being, but when they discovered that the Bahuo Kingdom was recruiting, arming, and training soldiers, they looked like they were fighting, so they immediately came to test it.
"Haha, this is good. If you don't pay, we will fight..." All the northern nobles cheered loudly. These bellicose northern nobles just hope to use war to solve everything.
But the southern nobles opposite didn't want to let the other party get what they wanted.
Although the war cannot be fought at all, and the Bajo Kingdom cannot support a two-front war, due to their position, they want to go against the northern nobles.
"A bunch of reckless men, war is of no benefit to anyone, we should trade." Prime Minister Salamanda and the northern nobles loudly objected and insisted on trade.
"Good war, plunder directly, we have more land, humans and nobles." Earl Garrid, the leader of the northern nobles, shouted directly to the southern nobles.
Gared's son is Lancelot, who killed Elizabeth last time. No matter who was right or wrong in that matter, Gared believed that his son was framed by the other party, so that his prestige was greatly affected.
of losses.
The nobles from both sides immediately started arguing, filling the hall with noisy noises.
"Quiet……"
The unbearable King Diablo patted the armrest of the golden chair hard, and there was a crisp sound between the gauntlet and the armrest, so that the nobles who were still arguing had to restrain themselves and let their voices sink into their throats.
.
Diablo looked at the performance of many nobles with satisfaction, which was all the result of him killing Prime Minister Salamanda's personal army.
Thinking of this, Diablo glanced at Qin Feng, who was carefree, and Falut, who was sitting upright next to him. These people had formed a small circle and were tending to expand.
Diablo's head ached a little when he thought about this. Fortunately, Falut's territory was in the far south and he didn't have much contact with other people, which would invisibly weaken his influence.
"Okay, don't start wars all the time. This is not good. Trade exchanges are also a very important part."
King Diablo looked at Kawakami Ryosuke again, "We will trade with you, but what can you trade? I heard that your weapons are good, long-range combat power is very strong, and melee weapons are very sharp."
Ryosuke Kawakami's breath suddenly suffocated. What they had experienced was actually known to the other party. It was obvious that the other party had a strong control over the country.
"Yes, Your Majesty, although our weapons are very strong, their output is very low."
"Then let us trade these weapons with you. How about one silver coin each?" Diablo directly determined their prices, and such prices can only be comparable to ordinary weapons.
"This is really shameless." Before Kawakami Ryosuke could speak, Koyama Akiko stood up and said angrily:
"Our country has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, rich products, and the lords and the people are united. You are the weak country. You should be lucky that we will not bully you. The trade between us should be fair."
Diablo sat up straight and looked at Ryosuke Kawakami with some dissatisfaction. Ryosuke Kawakami sighed inwardly and took a step forward to stop Akiko Koyama to prevent her from further irritating the country.
"Your Majesty, this is the princess of our country, Akiko Koyama. I came here this time just to see the beauty of your country."
Kawakami Ryosuke then changed the subject, "But Your Majesty, the trade between us is a bit unfair and the price is a bit low. But for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, we agreed."
The Crane Country's concession made Diablo curl up his lips. He had now determined that the Crane Country was not a powerful country.
"By the way, Your Majesty, we also have some products that I think you will like more." Kawakami Ryosuke took a bag from the samurai behind him and slowly opened it, revealing the white grains of sand inside in front of everyone.
