Because in the eyes of his own people, the invaders have been eliminated, so these things should be ended. War is the most harmful to one's own country. But now it seems that King Gryphus does not want to stop this war because he wants to become an emperor who will be remembered for generations.

So he had to expand.

So he had to use lies once again to deceive his own people, mobilize their enthusiasm, and then make them follow him to defeat the Kingdom of Nord.

"So, Your Majesty, are you moved?" Francine seemed to be very good at observing people's expressions. She could tell at a glance what King Graves was thinking now. She wanted to complete the task assigned to her by Sultan Hakim.

So at this time, she was very happy in her heart, but on the surface, she still did not show any excitement. Keeping her expression unchanged was her specialty, otherwise, she would not be valued by Sultan Hakim.

"I still need to discuss with the lords about joining forces with Sultan Hakim."

King Graves knew that these lords were his meritorious followers. If he wanted to fight, he had to establish good relations with these people.

If he did not do this and they betrayed him, then his plan would be in danger of failure. At this time, King Griffith gave his lord enough face.

But at this moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The reason was of course very simple. No one could have imagined that at this time, just when the war had just ended, the envoy of Sultan Hakim would come out.

This was really sudden for them. They all thought that this was not a good idea and that the war should be stopped temporarily, so they had no idea what to do.

However, every country has its own staunch supporters of the king, and those lords who firmly support King Griffith stood up at this time.

They seemed to have guessed Graves's thoughts long ago, and they all came out to say that they should unite with Sultan Hakim.

However, there were still some lords who had not reacted at this time. In their opinion, they should wait for their strength to recover instead of fighting another battle. But after seeing those staunch supporters.

They began to hesitate. They were all King Griffith's confidants, and their opinions were largely the same as King Griffith's. King Griffith also saw these hesitant lords.

He cursed these idiots harshly in his heart, and he had to change his facial expression a little at this time, so as to hint to his lords how they should answer this question.

The lords saw a smile on King Griffith's face, and that smile seemed to make them understand how they should respond at this time.

But Francine also saw this change in expression. In Francine's opinion, King Griffith was simply a cunning man who was hinting at his lord.

Most of the lords present were lords who followed King Graves. At this time, someone came out and said that he agreed to unite with Sultan Hakim. After hearing this, King Graves' smile became even wider.

Everyone knew what King Graves was thinking now, so they quickly began to unite with Sultan Hakim. Everyone felt that the Nordic Kingdom was very powerful, and it would be easy to have an ally to fight against the Nordic Kingdom.

As the white fog on the road gradually dissipated, a majestic city appeared in front of Wals, Viruga, a city located in the mountains, surrounded by woods, and a green area set off by the clear sky.

This was not the first time that Wals had come to this city. He now came as the lord of the Nordic Kingdom to visit King Gryfus of the Rhodok Kingdom.

Seeing the Rhodok soldiers who were completely unguarded on the city wall, Walls sighed that this group of Rhodok people were too lax. If they were in their previous combat state, this group of Rhodok people would never have encountered such a situation.

All this only happens when the war is over. The residents of Rhodok have already believed that the war is far away from them and there will never be another war, so they are jubilant throughout the country and are obviously relaxed towards the enemy.

If this situation continues, the consequences will naturally be disastrous. Calradia is a war-torn continent. If there is any slackness at this moment, even a nap, it is likely that the next moment it will be reduced to ashes.

Wals carried the flag of his own family, which was a unicorn flag. A white unicorn with a purple background appeared in the center of the flag. The unicorn stood tall, looking strong, powerful, pure and holy.

The soldiers on the city walls and the soldiers guarding the city gates had never seen such a flag. Was this the flag of an emerging family?

Such a question appeared in everyone's mind.

One of Wals's guards strode forward.

"We are envoys from the Kingdom of Nord. Now we are following the orders of King Ragnar to meet with King Gryfus, the ruler of the Kingdom of Rhodok. The envoy this time is a lord newly appointed by our King Ragnar.

He is the master of Suno and all the villages around Su Luo, Lord Wals, and his flag is a purple-based white unicorn. "The guard briefly and succinctly explained Wals's origins, which immediately surprised everyone in the city. Suno is located in the Kingdom of Swadia.

Now the city has fallen into the hands of the Nord Kingdom. Judging from the current situation, this city's occupation will be rewarded to those who have made great military achievements. After hearing the name of Wals, whether they knew it or not, they were secretly surprised in their hearts.

Wals's reputation had already spread far and wide. Most of the Rhodok people had heard of Wals's name from the soldiers returning home. He was a man with extremely strong tactical command talent. At this moment, when they heard that such a big man had arrived, they immediately became excited.

However, some experienced old soldiers could not get excited at this moment. They were a group of peace watchers who were looking forward to the arrival of peace. Lords like Wals who were rewarded for their military exploits were not welcome by them. Somehow, they seemed to feel that the arrival of Lake Wals was not information worth rejoicing about.

Soon, King Gryphus gave Wals to a neighboring city according to etiquette, as he was grateful for such a new young hero who could defeat a great hero of the Swadian Kingdom like Hosbens in a great battle.

And he could get a city as his fiefdom after the war. Anyone would respect him. The Rhodok Kingdom occupied Uxhall in the south.

As a city, Uxhall is probably the smallest of the four major cities in the Kingdom of Swadia, and King Gryphus of the Kingdom of Rhodok obviously does not like this city.

But they would not give up what they could get. Uxhall was a small city, but the cost of conquering it was extremely small.

Wals and his servants entered the city together, and soon they entered the lord's hall. At that time, a banquet was being prepared in the lord's hall. Wals and Aileyon could see King Gryphus sitting at the highest seat at a glance.

This was the purpose of their visit. Next to King Zaigrefoss sat Count Leland, one of the most powerful lords in the Rhodok Kingdom.

But today, Wals discovered something strange. On the other side of King Gryfus sat a graceful woman with a veil on her face. Although her face could not be seen, judging from her figure, she must be a peerless beauty.

Who is this woman? Why is she sitting next to King Griffith? Wals was full of questions, but in order to maintain his etiquette, he still walked forward respectfully and bowed to King Griffith.

"King Griffiths, I am a noble who has recently received the favor of King Ragnar. I am now the master of Suno and the villages near Suno. This flag with a white unicorn on a purple background is my family emblem."

Wals introduced himself to King Graves in a dignified and humble manner. This was the most basic etiquette. While speaking, Wals' eyes kept looking at the woman sitting on the top, and the woman kept looking at Wals.

The subtle differences between the two people were naturally discovered by those observant nobles. Only a few nobles knew this tiny detail, but none of them pointed it out.

It seemed that some of the nobles already knew the purpose of Wals's visit. They were full of ulterior motives and would not say a word. Everything depended on King Griffus's will.

“废话就不多说了，你直接来说明拉格纳国王为什么派你过来，我觉得不仅仅只是为了向我报道他最近新封了一名领主而已。

我早就知道了你的名声，你能够有这样的封地作为你的奖赏，我也没有觉得任何的吃惊。”葛瑞福斯国王的语气当中带着一丝冷淡，和之前的态度差了一大截，不知道是因为什么原因才导致了他现在的这般模样。

沃尔斯看向了坐在最上面的那个女人，或许就是因为他的出现才导致了现在的这样局面，格瑞福斯国王或许已经有了自己的计划。

“是这样的，拉格纳国王觉得我们应该继续联手，对抗来自东边的敌人。”沃尔斯开始大声的说道自己到来的原因。

声音洪亮，让在场的人都不禁钦佩起来，在这里的人们都是整个罗多克王国最有权势的人，在这样的一群人之下还能够大声的说话而不顾其他人的威压，的确是一个厉害的家伙。

“东边的敌人？那么你倒是说一说，在罗多克王国的东边到底有什么敌人？”

你格瑞福斯国王反而问道。他脸上的表情带着一丝冷漠，沃尔斯和他的侍卫们都没有分辨出来这个家伙到底在想着些什么。可是格瑞福斯国王的侍卫和他手下的领主们都已经知道自己的君主到底在想着些什么。

他已经和南边的萨兰德苏丹国联合在一起了，哈基姆苏丹现在成为了他的盟友，现在唯一东边的敌人只有库吉特汗国。

“维吉亚王国的亚罗格尔克国王和库吉特汗国的塞加可汗。”

尔斯还是不紧不慢的说道，这句话现在看来是如此的可笑，维吉亚王国是出在诺德王国的东边，但是，维吉亚王国至始至终都没有和罗多克王国接壤，因此在领土这样的纷争上面。

维吉亚王国是无法对罗多克王国造成实质性的威胁。而库吉特汗国，有了和萨兰德苏丹国的联手，相信一个库吉特汗国是兴不起什么风浪的。

相反，现在罗多克唯一的威胁到来自于北边的诺德王国，诺德王国在和斯瓦迪亚王国的战斗当中，取得了最大的利益，在四个国家当中。

诺德王国侵占的地盘是最大的，他也因此成为了整个大陆上面实力最为强大的一个王国，如果自己和诺德王国联手，一时半会儿诺德王国是绝对不会来攻打他们的，但是谁能够保证，这一个强大的国家在吞并完其他的国家之后会不会来攻打自己的国家？

答案当然是肯定的，格瑞福斯国王用自己的脚趾头都可以想到拉格纳国王的那个脾气，他怎么会放过自己？

倒不如自己先和萨兰德苏丹国先联手，一起区落在北边的诺德王国，自己成为卡拉迪亚大陆上面的霸主有什么不好呢？

坐在上面的格瑞福斯国王冷笑了两声，他觉得还是不要对沃尔斯遮遮掩掩了。

“沃尔斯先生，正如你所看到的，坐在我身边的这名女子就是萨兰德苏丹国的使者，对于处在南边沙漠深处的萨兰德苏丹国，我知道沃尔斯先生你一定有所耳闻。”

在听见这一句话之后，沃尔斯立马一惊，想不到位于大陆南边的萨兰德苏丹国也开始插手这里的事务。想来也是正常的，作为在大陆上面占据一席之地的王国，他能够单独和大陆上面的任何一个国家较量。

当然了，这是指大陆最初的局势，也就是斯瓦迪亚王国没有被消灭的时候。现在诺德王国的领土是整个大陆上面最大的一个国家，论起实力，诺德王国应该是大陆上面最强大的一个国家。就算萨兰德苏丹国也无法凭借着一己之力对抗诺德王国。

“那么按照国王陛下你的意思来说的话，你已经和沙漠地区的萨兰德苏丹国联合在一起了，你们已经组建成了一个联盟的吗？”

“是的，正如同你所看到的那个样子，我已经和萨兰德苏丹国的使者好好的谈了一下，现在，我们已经组建了一个坚定而又稳固的联盟。”格瑞福斯国王直截了当的说道，把沃尔斯的颜面全部都扫光。

“可是，现在使者不是还没有回到哈基姆苏丹的身边吗，也就是说那一份联盟协议以及还没有得到双方的确认，我觉得我还是有这机会的。”沃尔斯继续说道。

根本没有对这一个消息而感到吃惊而影响自己的心情嗯，他的语言还是那样流畅，没有丝毫的停滞，从他的语气平淡。

在这一个时刻，在场的那些大臣们都是惊讶的看着眼前的沃尔斯，这个人的心理素质简直好得不能够再好，确实是从战场上面拼杀而来的。

“虽然说我们还没有得到双方的确认，但是……”葛瑞福斯国王的话还没有说完，就背在一旁的弗朗辛给打断了。

“国王银币以下，刚才你和我交谈的时候已经累了，现在这种小事就有我来处理吧，你就在一旁暂时的休息一下吧。”

弗朗辛对着葛瑞福斯国王说道，格瑞福斯国王在听见了弗朗辛这样说之后，自然而然就退了下来，确实，她觉得自己并不是一个合格的辩论高手，这种辩论的事情就要弗朗辛这样的专业人才去做吧。

沃尔斯这个时候才把自己的眼睛完完全全的看向了弗朗辛，作为一个女人此时在沃尔斯的眼中已经变得高大起来的，沃尔斯对于弗朗辛已经起了警惕之心。

“虽然说，我们两个国家没有把联盟的协议递交上去，但是格瑞福斯国王说话算数，他是一国之君，在这样的场合之上是绝对不会开玩笑的。我也是奉上萨兰德苏丹国的哈基姆苏丹来这里办事情的，联盟协议已经达成了，我觉得哈基姆苏丹是不会反悔的。”

弗朗辛站起来说道，他那特有的女性声调，让沃尔斯的心再一次绷紧了起来。

如果说现在沃尔斯和弗朗辛开始争辩，那么最后的结果一定得不到好处，所以说沃尔斯只有将自己的矛头对准格瑞福斯国王才行，至于说弗朗辛，能够不和他说话就不和他说话。

“葛瑞福斯国王，我觉得这一场联盟协议，里面一定有着萨兰德苏丹国的阴谋，试想，这一个处在大陆南边控制着沙漠地区，他们已经有很长一段时间没有出现在这里了，更没有干预大陆中心上面的局势。这一次突然来和你们联盟，难道国王陛下你就不怀疑一下他们的做法吗？

他们是在利用你，利用你做萨兰德苏丹国的盾牌，让罗多克王国充当进攻诺德王国的先锋军，只有和我们诺德王国联合一起，你才能够在这样的战火纷飞当中的年代保正整个国家的完整。”沃尔斯避开弗朗辛，直接对格瑞福斯国王说话。

弗朗辛看了看沃尔斯，就知道这个家伙正在避开自己，所以他在格瑞福斯国王还没有说话的时候就自己先张开嘴继续说道。

“沃尔斯先生，萨兰德苏丹国的哈基姆苏丹是带着诚意而来的，诺德王国是现在大陆上面最强大的国家，如果说你说和诺德王国联手才是最好的方案，那么我想问一问，在诺德王国消灭了其他敌人之后，难道他不会对罗多克王国动刀子吗？

况且，联盟的协议是由我们两个国家的君主来共同协商的，你要是这样说直接插手两个国王的事情恐怕不妥吧。”

“国王陛下，居然说是两个国王之间的事情，那么你为什么要让旁边的一位大臣来参与这件事情，况且他还是萨兰德苏丹国的人，根本就不是你们罗多克王国的人，他为什么要向罗多克王国靠拢？他的所作所为，难道都是为了帮助罗多克王国吗？

不，不会的！他只会帮助他的国家，萨兰德苏丹国的哈基姆苏丹，他只会帮助萨兰德苏丹国。”沃尔斯依然不和弗朗辛正面对决，直接将矛头对准了格瑞福斯国王，他知道。

葛瑞福斯国王自己还是有着几分把握可以说服的，但是这个从萨兰德苏丹国而来的弗朗辛，一眼就可以看得出来他是一个真正的外交官，他觉得有着胜于自己的辩才，自己绝对不可以和他正面交锋。就算自己勉强胜过他，最后还是失掉了时间。

在做一个时刻，沃尔斯的话显然是触动了葛瑞福斯国王，格瑞福斯国王在这个时候正要张开嘴巴，他也觉得弗朗辛不是自己的人，怎么会尽心尽力的帮助自己的国家。

要是说萨兰德苏丹国有什么阴谋的话。那么自己也是吃不了兜着走，虽然说自己和他们都是各自心怀鬼胎。

但是要和谁联合在一起，就还是一个问题。如果说和诺德王国联合在一起能够获得更大的利益，他自然是愿意和诺德王国联合在一起。不过正在渐渐壮大的诺德王国实在是罗多克王国的心腹大患。

"Your Majesty, please do not believe what he said. Although I am a diplomat of the Sarand Sultanate and I am helping the Sarand Sultanate, our country has already given sufficient benefits for this alliance. This is also a representation of our sincerity. We unite to gain greater benefits. Don't you think so, Your Majesty?"

Francine had noticed the change in King Griffus' facial expression. Although the change was very slight, Francine, who was good at observing people's expressions, could still see it, so she quickly turned her spearhead to persuade King Griffus again. As for Wals who came out to disrupt the situation.
