In the imperial capital of the Rock Empire, the news of the defeat in the frontline war has been brought back here by Kuai Ma. Also arriving with Kuai Ma was the Imperial General Fokke who was defeated again.
In the palace of the imperial capital, the Emperor of the Rock Empire, who had learned that the front line had collapsed, that several cities had changed hands, and that his empire was in danger, was pacing back and forth in his palace.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and asked: "Is the front line really unable to support it?"
"Yes! Your Majesty! Our army's front line has collapsed. It only takes less than a day for the opponent to attack a city..." Fokker replied with a frustrated look.
He really couldn't think of any army that could last a day under such an attack.
The opponent did not send out ground troops to charge immediately after the attack, which was the only reason why he could withdraw from the front line and return to the imperial capital.
"If... I recruit more troops... is it possible to re-establish a defense line near the imperial capital to stop the opponent's advance?" The emperor of the Rock Empire asked unwillingly.
At this moment, he really wanted to hear some satisfactory news from Fogg's mouth. Unfortunately, the answers he heard made him even more desperate.
Fokker shook his head in embarrassment and said to his Majesty the Emperor: "We were unable to stop the opponent's advance. The opponent attacked Soth City without using its main force, and then defeated our attacking troops near Soth City.
The main force has not been used, and their combat effectiveness is beyond our estimation."
As a former general of the empire, Fokker felt ashamed of his answers. He had no way to stop the enemy's attack, and he had lost all the courage to even try.
"Why...are they hiding their strength...damn it!" The emperor of the Rock Empire snorted unwillingly and looked at another minister aside: "Is there no room for change?"
The minister was also a little helpless and replied: "When Lu Man came to persuade us to surrender, if we had not refused so simply, maybe we would still have some room for change now."
Suddenly, the emperor of the Rock Empire seemed to have thought of something, and quickly asked: "Tell me, if I am willing to sacrifice a princess, or two... pseudo...will the gods be willing to forgive me for my previous recklessness?"
He has several daughters, the youngest is thirteen years old, and the oldest is already married at thirty-three. However, there are two princesses who are just sixteen or seventeen years old, which are just the right age and are very suitable for the marriage policy.
Before, he was not willing to let his two daughters marry into the Flame Empire or the Storm Empire to become princesses or crown princesses, but now he was furious. It was definitely a good deal to give up a princess in exchange for an empire.
In the eyes of the Emperor of the Rock Empire, no one is not lustful, and no one is not greedy for money. As long as the chips are enough, there is nothing in this world that cannot be exchanged.
The minister couldn't believe his ears, but he still quickly replied: "Well... Your Majesty, in this situation, unless the gods have no ambitions, they will not... give up attacking our Rock Empire."
As soon as the Ilanthil Empire came to this world, it showed its ambitions. The other side would not allow a second empire to exist in this world, so the Rock Empire's desire to use a princess in exchange for peace was obviously a bit whimsical.
.
The emperor of the Rock Empire also felt that if it were him who had an absolute advantage, he would not easily accept the peace conditions of other empires. The idea of just taking out a princess in exchange for a chance to breathe is a bit too naive.
.
So he paused, and then continued to ask: "If I am willing to offer two princesses, and am willing to give up the throne, and downgrade the Rock Empire to a Rock Kingdom...will they withdraw their troops?"
"This..." Several ministers, including Fokker, all looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
They really didn't know if the emperor in front of them was really willing to make such a huge concession, whether the gods who came from afar would really give them a chance.
"If I am willing to offer two princesses, a hundred beauties, and 100,000 gold coins, will they let me become a king and continue to rule the rest of the country?" The emperor of the Rock Empire continued to ask.
Without waiting for his minister to answer, he continued: "However, I hope the gods will give me a guarantee, a guarantee that they will never invade my kingdom!"
"This... Your Majesty is willing to contact us. I think that if Your Majesty is willing to give up the title of Emperor and is willing to offer treasures and beautiful women, then the gods may not agree to your request." Fokker gritted his teeth and told himself
The emperor promised.
The emperor of the Rock Empire looked a little better, waved to Fokker and said: "Okay! I know that General Fokker is still loyal to the empire! Go! Go and talk to those gods, have a good talk!"
Nowadays, the Rock Empire has no room for resistance. The eldest prince has been a little crazy since he returned to the imperial capital.
He was frightened out of his wits by those terrible gods' weapons, and even his dreams were nightmares of having his head shattered by tracer bullets.
Every night he was awakened by nightmares, screaming and jumping out of his bed, shouting garbled words, which frightened the chamberlains and didn't know what to do.
Even holding a woman in his arms could not soothe his broken heart. He often drank heavily during the day, so drunk that he could not recognize his father even when the emperor came to see him.
As the great general of the empire, Fokker has long since lost the courage to fight. Obviously, he would rather be an envoy to seek peace than fight to the death with a long sword in the Ilanthil Empire.
There is no other way, because even if he risked his life to fight to the death with the Elanthir Empire, he would only die and not even create the slightest tragic atmosphere...
What he didn't know was that someone had already gone to the Eilanhill Empire to sue for peace faster than him. The frontline commander of the Rock Empire, who had been greeted by a cluster bomb, sent several teams to try their best to destroy themselves.
A message of willingness to surrender was brought to Burleson's headquarters.
At the same time, Chris also received a report from his clone No. 01 on the Eternity, the flagship of the Sky Fleet of the Airanhill Empire.
The royal flag of the Elanthir Empire has been hung on the Holy See Castle in the Holy City!
