"My king, you are wise! We decided to send troops to the north, not just from you..."
The high priest was outspoken and confused, so he planned to ask Xia Zhe back.
In his opinion, the attack on Metalli was ordered by the king himself. Why did the king say this now?
The high priest couldn't understand!
"High priest, please be patient! You have already retired and have no secular official position. You are just presiding over the temple now. You don't understand these state affairs, so you'd better say less!" The Prime Minister spoke hurriedly, interrupting the high priest.
Now it is the royal court meeting, with many people and eyes, not just three or five people chatting privately with the king in the study.
Some things really shouldn't be said casually.
Treye's messenger is still there!
Speaking of which, Achilles and his men were too ruthless. They actually wiped out tens of thousands of Treae's guards.
How can we let the king take the blame now in front of the envoy?
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, the high priest turned around in surprise and saw the Prime Minister winking at him.
The Prime Minister's right hand, hidden in a hidden place, was pointing to the messenger from Treae.
The high priest suddenly realized.
yes.
Originally, they had agreed that after Achilles and Odysseus returned from Nessus, they would take the rare spoils and report to the king.
Unexpectedly, the envoy from Treae arrived first and formally requested a meeting with Xia Zhe.
As a result, Xia Zhe found out that several of his men had acted on their own.
The Treae envoy came here not just to protest!
After all, the Maitali region is no man's land.
Everyone grabs it based on their ability!
Since Treyer didn't win the fight, he wouldn't be stupid enough to come to Stoby to complain!
Everyone knows that the dispatch of troops must have the king’s approval!
Before figuring out what the people from Treye wanted to do.
It’s better to say less!
"Messenger, if you have something to say, please speak frankly! My king and all the ministers are here. I wonder what brings you here?"
When the high priest understood his hint, the Prime Minister turned to speak to the Treae envoy.
Upon hearing this, the Treae envoy took a deep breath, glanced at the Stobi officials, turned to face Xia Zhe, saluted, and spoke.
"Respected King Stobi! I have brought a proposal from my king! My king hopes to exchange the three cities in the southwest of our country, close to Stobi, for your newly occupied empty city of Nessos. What do you think?" said the Treae envoy.
Change city?
Upon hearing such a shameless suggestion, all of Stoby's ministers, including the Prime Minister, showed contempt on their faces.
Are we fools?
It is true that Nessus was temporarily destroyed, but it is still the largest city in the northern barbarian area!
The area of the city is more than twice as large as that of Stobi, which has been expanded ten times!
With a little repair, Nessus will soon be restored to its former glory!
And the three cities southwest of Treae.
Although both are agricultural-based cities, they also border Stobi.
However, there are too many mountains around, which severely restricts its development.
Even if they were added together, they wouldn't be worth half a Nessus!
What's more, everyone knows Tre's purpose of obtaining Nessos!
All because there is a discovered iron mine in Nessos!
Although the reserves are not large and are only poor iron ore, it can still be used to smelt iron equipment!
This kind of city with scarce strategic resources will not be given to us even if you exchange it for six or nine cities, let alone three cities!
You can't win with force, and you want to fool them with words. Do you really think the leaders of Stobi City are all good-for-nothings?
"Everyone has misunderstood. My king certainly knows the terms of this exchange. Stoby is at a disadvantage. So, I have an extra bonus!"
Seeing that the Stobi ministers had unfriendly expressions, the Treae envoy had no choice but to quickly propose a new plan.
"As long as you are willing to exchange, I can provide you with a powerful weapon for defending the city! This weapon comes from Syracuse, a powerful country across the Ionian Sea, and it is called Greek Fire!" said the Treae envoy.
Powerful city defense weapon?
Syracuse?
Greek fire?
Has anyone heard of this?
The ministers looked at each other, all with confused expressions.
Everyone thought that this was probably just another piece of nonsense from the Treye messenger!
Obviously, Trey couldn't offer anything of equivalent value in exchange.
Therefore, the messenger had to make up a bunch of nonsense to try to get away with it!
How could anyone with normal IQ fall for his trick?
The country of Syracuse!
Greek fire!
Xia Zhe, who was already in a bad mood, was shocked when he heard these two terms.
None of the ministers had ever heard of the country of Syracuse.
But Xia Zhe knew that this name was not made up by the messenger.
It is a country on the Sicilian mainland, across the Ionian Sea.
Although it is not on its own continent, it is also a branch of Pan-Hellenic civilization.
Greek fire, this name Xia Zhe is more familiar with.
When he first played the game, Greek fire was always the technology he prioritized researching!
Because this high-tech weapon can greatly improve the city’s defense!
If Greek fire is placed in the four directions of the city.
Any army that dares to attack will suffer heavy losses!
Even the Silver Shield Spearmen, known as the strongest in the Great North, are no exception!
When Xia Zhe suddenly heard about this thing in reality, he of course wanted to get it.
If he really had Greek fire, Stobi would be able to defend against Macedonia's sneak attack! He wouldn't need to dig a tunnel!
Before the get out of class ends, keep your life safe!
In fact, even without the bonus of Greek fire, Xia Zhe had wanted to change cities a long time ago.
Nessos, that is the first city in the northern barbarian area!
