However, what King Peacock didn't know was that the last hope left in his heart to open the tomb did not exist from the beginning.
The three high-ranking priests far outside the royal capital were actually protected by a group of mysterious people from the very beginning. When the news of the great change in the royal capital spread, the three of them were also escorted by mysterious people, and they had already left the realm of the Peacock Kingdom before the Peacock royal family had control of the overall situation.
Although Peacock and the empire are not adjacent to each other, they are separated by Gupta, a divided country.
But as long as the three high-ranking priests entered the territory of Gupta, even if the Peacock royal family had mastered domestic power, it still could not extend the influence to the territory of Gupta.
There is no doubt that those mysterious people with secret identities are naturally the dark guards of the empire who have entered the peacock.
Although the dark guards did not play a substantial role in the fierce battle that night, in fact, their best method was not to mention the collision of the frontal battlefield.
Yang Zimu was extremely gentle, and invited the three priests to ride in a horse-powered carriage and head towards the empire with great fanfare, neither evading more official powers nor concealing the rest of the eyeliner.
This blatantly took away the last three keys that could open the tomb of King Daming.
Just as the relationship between the Peacock Nation and the Federation is actually derived from the mediation of the Siam Nation, today's Gupta is almost half surrendered to the empire.
As long as it enters the country of Gupta, the power of the Peacock Kingdom will naturally not be able to continue to extend.
At the same time when Yang Zimu and Imperial Dragon Cavalry began to contact the sacrificial society, they had actually done a good job of retreat from failure, and they would never let themselves truly gain nothing.
"As long as the key is still in the hands of the empire, even if the Federation will obtain the alliance of the Peacock Nation, the empire will still have room for negotiation after all."
Yang Zimu was sitting in the carriage of the Qi-powered carriage, with some palpitations thinking about Su Mu's strength, but there was still no sense of frustration in his heart.
After all, the one who has the last laugh... is the winner of the entire continent!
…
In the next few days, the royal family and the envoys of the other two kingdoms continued to exchange their own interests and opinions.
The interests of each individual have been written in the form of the national letter, and then they have been jointly established by the three parties.
So far, the only condition that has not been promised by the royal family seems to be the question of the ownership of the sacrificial altar. At this point, the royal family is still slowly delaying.
However, as time passed bit by bit, it seems that even the unknowing party of the Papal State has also vaguely sensed something wrong.
It also began to be like a federation, and the same lion opened its mouth and gave new requirements.
"My lord, the papal kingdom suddenly pointed out in today's negotiations that the maintenance cost of their Lijiao Divine Machine Camp is high. Now that they are entrusted to fight in the capital, this cost should naturally be borne by the kingdom."
This request of the Papal State seems to be extremely reasonable.
But the cost they really gave is obviously an extremely terrifying figure.
"The papal state needs the funds provided by the kingdom, which is two million gold coins, which is almost equivalent to the income of the kingdom's finances for a whole year."
The respondent was extremely disturbed, carefully looking at the man on the throne who had regained power.
It seems that it is extremely fearful that this vicious extraction of the Papal State will turn the face of the man on the throne in annoyance, thus offending the Papal State.
However, contrary to the imagination of the respondent, after hearing the exaggerated asking price of the Papal State, the Peacock King did not have the slightest anger on his face, but seemed to be thinking about the reasonableness of the asking price.
So much so that in my thoughts, I forgot to reply to the respondent.
It's just a very careful consideration... Since even the Papal State has noticed that matter, I am afraid that the kingdom can no longer continue to delay it.
"Your Excellency Su Mu of the Federation and His Royal Highness of the Papal Kingdom, please come to Cuiyu Hall and the widow for a while, and say that the widow still has places to ask about the future of the kingdom."
After a while, a slightly depressed voice finally rang from the throne.
At the time of the third day after the great change in the capital, King Peacock was still unable to remain silent after all, and had already planned to face the absurd ending straightforwardly.
…
Both Su Mu and Maggie were obviously already waiting for King Peacock's summons.
As this long-awaited message finally came, the two naturally re-entered the Royal City in a tacit understanding with each other, and went directly to the highest-level hidden conference hall in the Royal City... Cuiyu Hall!
"The Cuiyu Hall was the center of the former empire's cabinet, but with the division of the empire, this place has gradually reduced to a display that has no practical effect."
"But now it seems that since what we are going to discuss next is still the most important thing in the kingdom, naturally it is still the most suitable in Cuiyu Hall."
As soon as King Peacock spoke, he directly explained the purpose of convening tonight.
Now that the sacrificial meeting has been completely destroyed, the most important thing in the kingdom is naturally the grand meeting that will begin to enter the tomb of King Daming.
Although the observers who were once selected by the sacrificial society naturally did not dare to have any more opinions before the royal family.
But the two big countries today still stare at this cake with enthusiasm.
"The royal family has no way to open the tomb again. As you already know or guess, when you killed almost all the high-level members of the sacrificial society, the last key was taken by the empire."
"So don't say it's you now, even the kingdom itself... also can't get any legacy in the tomb, and can only wait for the meaning of the future empire to release!"
The words of King Peacock, naturally a little unbearable anger.
After all, from the point of view of King Peacock, Su Mu was very likely to have this kind of speculation in advance, so he asked the mission to directly put forward such a harsh request.
Regarding this, Su Mu did not explain.
It just remained silent, waiting for King Peacock to give the true ending.
Although King Peacock was angry, he was able to regain power in the kingdom after all because of the existence of Su Mu and Maggie, so the necessary price was still an inevitable he could not ignore.
"The materials accumulated by the sacrificial society can be handed over to the federal ambassador to keep for three years. But after three years, the Federation must return all these materials to the kingdom, and you must not take any of the materials privately in the meantime."
The first condition promised by King Peacock was naturally the request made by the Federation.
And this result is a pretty good answer for the Federation.
Even Adrian did not really want to completely occupy these materials, but just needed to convert these resources into federation's nourishment as soon as possible.
After the Peacock King finished his reply to the Federation, he immediately turned to look at Maggie, the saint of the Pope Kingdom, and then the same strong man broke his wrist and replied:
"It is indeed too much to give out two million in one breath. Today's royal treasury is not sufficient and cannot fulfill your requirements immediately. Therefore, the Kingdom hopes that in the next three years, in the form of one million gold coins per year, Three million gold coins worth of national debt will be returned to your country in three years."
"If the two countries don't have any opinions, the following conditions... will be included in the credential agreement between the three countries!" ()
