Chapter 158 The Arrogant Mercenary Envoy
The white minister "Thomas" was completely indifferent to the anger of the princess knight "Alicia".
He habitually rubbed the few gemstone rings on his hands like a wealthy man, and said seriously in the tone of an elder: "Your Highness, now and then, the Kingdom of Seven Shields has reached the edge of life and death. What we need is something that can What's the point of a few useless civilians dying for a powerful warrior fighting those monsters?"
"Don't insult the title of warrior! Can a group of people who can swing knives at unarmed young and old be considered warriors? They are just a group of thugs with weapons!" The princess knight "Alicia" refused to give in.
"Okay, okay, you told me about thugs, then let's talk about thugs." Minister Bai "Thomas" sneered: "To be disrespectful to the past emperors, is the current annual sacrifice lottery like unarmed civilians wielding swords? ? But without this move, Your Highness, do you think you would have the opportunity to stand here and accuse me confidently, being the princess who loves the people like a son? "
"I……"
The face of the princess knight "Alicia" suddenly turned as white as paper. Although she clearly had a lot of truth, she was too weak to stand in the face of the bloody reality.
Seeing that he had the upper hand in words, Minister Bai "Thomas" couldn't help but show a touch of pride and contempt in his eyes, but his mouth still had that disgusting tone of relying on one's elders.
"Your Highness, you are still young and have not thought carefully about some things. That's why the late Emperor asked us veterans to try our best to help His Highness before his death... Alas, it is a pity that His Highness is a woman after all, and his mind is still weak. If His Royal Highness were still here, he would definitely agree with what I did. "
Luo Jie frowned slightly. Minister Bai was obviously poking at "Alicia's" scar.
In order to set an example to the people, kings in the past dynasties had to sacrifice their eldest son after having three children, and they also had to lead a team to defeat monsters.
The father of the princess knight "Alicia" led the team to death under the breath of the white dragon on the 55th floor, and her brother, the eldest prince in the mouth of the white minister "Thomas", passed the age of sixteen After the coming-of-age ceremony, he became a sacrifice to the monsters in the wild.
Coupled with the fact that the heartbroken queen has been staying at home for a long time and ignoring government affairs, now all the big and small things in the entire Seven Shields Alliance are actually pressed on the weak shoulders of this eighteen-year-old girl.
"Let...let me think about it again."
The princess knight "Alicia" sat back on the sofa slumped, weakly supporting her forehead with her hands.
However, Minister Bai "Thomas" obviously didn't want to give her the time to think about it, and pressed forward step by step: "Your Highness, time waits for no one. In less than half a year, the next round of sacrifice drawings will begin. You also Don’t you want to see your subjects being sacrificed in large numbers?”
"Can……"
It has to be said that Minister Bai "Thomas" has grown up watching "Alicia" after all, and he knows best what the inner weaknesses of this princess are.
"Your Highness, the envoys of the Black Beast Mercenary Group are already waiting outside. Do you want to meet them first and listen to their conditions?"
"What? You've actually been with them privately..." The princess knight "Alicia" was shocked and angry when she heard this. However, at this moment, she was unable to change anything. In the end, all her words turned into a long sigh. , said: "Forget it, just let him in."
Minister Bai "Thomas" subconsciously glanced at Luo Jie, who was sitting opposite and feeding snacks to the dog, who was still there. He wanted to remind the princess knight "Alicia" that there was an outsider here, but when he saw "Alice" at this moment "Thea" was in a depressed mood, and she was afraid that pushing too hard would cause His Highness to feel rebellious, so she simply pretended that Luo Jie did not exist.
Anyway, in his opinion, the other party is just an insignificant alien. If he threatens him back and gives him some benefits, he must not dare to tell anyone about what he saw today.
After the maid's announcement, the envoy of the Black Beast Mercenary Group quickly walked into the reception hall.
This is a muscular man, shirtless and wearing an open waistcoat, with a pair of iron fist gloves on his hands. His steps are steady and flexible. He looks like he should be a boxer or something good at close combat.
Well, in Luo Jie's opinion, this is just a popular NPC, and obviously it is not an important role even in the original work.
After the messenger gave the princess knight "Alicia" a nondescript breast-stroking ceremony, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and said proudly: "This is the condition of our boss. He said that as long as You agree, he will now mobilize his troops to fight against those monsters for Her Royal Highness."
Minister Bai passed the piece of paper to "Alicia", and her expression changed immediately after reading a few items.
"Don't go too far! It doesn't matter if you need money or equipment for the organization, but your leader actually wants my sister to marry him?"
The envoy grinned and didn't take the threat of the princess knight "Alicia" to heart at all. He said indifferently: "Our boss said that if we become relatives, we can better serve our Seven Shields Alliance... ...Of course, if His Highness feels sorry for His Majesty, you can marry our leader yourself. Well, then our leader should be considered the future king, right?"
"Bold!" The princess knight "Alicia" got angry and kicked over the low table in front of her. She gritted her teeth and said: "They are just a group of bandits. Do you think our Seven Shields Alliance is too weak to even send troops to attack? Have all the bandits lost their abilities?"
"Yes, you haven't." A sneer appeared on the envoy's face, "Your Highness, do you really think we don't know anything? There are currently less than 30,000 regular troops in the entire Seven Shields Kingdom, excluding the permanent troops stationed in each city. , you only have a maximum of 2,000 troops that can be mobilized freely, and most of them are female soldiers with low combat effectiveness... And our b1ack mercenary group is actually 3,000 strong men, and our group leader can go alone. A powerful being on the fiftieth floor of "Aincrad". "
Having said this, the envoy seemed to remember something and opened a large box he had brought in before.
A cluster of extremely beautiful seven-color flowers appeared in the hall, and a strange fragrance suddenly hit your nostrils.
"Florya?"
The princess knight "Alicia" couldn't help but change her expression. UU reading www.uukanshu.net
Floria is an extremely rare flower that can only grow in the "Flower Garden" on the 47th floor. Once transplanted, it can only survive for up to half a year.
It was obvious that the other party was demonstrating to her in this subtle way.
There was a hint of bitterness on the lips of the princess knight "Alicia". She knew very well the current financial situation of the Seven Shields Kingdom. Only by using all the strength of the country and mobilizing all the troops and generals could it be possible to attack the 50th floor or above.
However, a bandit leader reached the 47th floor alone. The gap between the two was clear at a glance.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the other party is willing to take the risk of being defeated, this group of bandits is strong enough to break through this royal city.
