Cassius nodded slightly in greeting.

But his eyes passed over the envoy and looked at the dozens of boxes of gold behind.

The strong ogres were struggling to carry the boxes and transport them to the steam locomotive that had been waiting for a long time nearby - this new means of transportation has been used in many places.

Even the ogres could feel the heavy weight in the box and vaguely guessed that it was all gold, but the presence of the red dragon dispelled all their delusions.

"good."

"It is indeed two million gold coins. It seems that your sincerity is greater than I thought."

Sahise took out a silk scarf to wipe the sweat from his forehead, raised the scepter and bowed again.

"Of course, His Majesty attaches great importance to your empire, and he also hopes that we can establish a peaceful and friendly relationship, so he sent me here this time."

"This is the sincerity of the Thracian Kingdom, and also the sincerity given by His Majesty Wilham."

Before he finished speaking, Sahise pulled out a parchment scroll that he had prepared long ago from the interlayer of his robe and slowly unfolded it.

It was engraved with lines of magical common language characters, the general content of which was: The Thracian Kingdom and the Burning Empire concluded a peace treaty, agreeing not to invade each other for one year.

However, Cassius' eyes darkened, and the dragon power around him dissipated as if it were real.

"Cheating on a contract - I'm afraid it's not a good thing, is it?"

"As the descendant of King Aragorn I, don't you even have the most basic integrity?"

"Your Majesty, you mean..."

Sahise's hands were shaking like a sieve and sweat was dripping down.

In his heart, he secretly blamed their King for being so clever and thinking of this way to preserve the kingdom's territory.

"Where is the Caterpa Hills I want?"

Cassius asked bluntly.

Sasisa barely stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, the Katep region is too barren and desolate to be worthy of this great contract. Perhaps we can use other methods to make up for it."

"enough."

Cassius said coldly.

"You think I care about the land?"

"The Burning Empire cannot be strangled by any country."

"If the Thracian Kingdom is unwilling to hand over the Cateppa region, then I would rather form a military alliance with the Cassander Kingdom and take this land back from you!"

Cassius paused for a moment, then he slowly stood up from the meeting room with a hideous smile on his face.

"By then, you will not only lose the Kateppa region, but also two-thirds of the territory north of the Glorious Mountains."

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The hurricane formed by the dragon's might came, and Sahise fell backwards with a thud, and the contract in his hand suddenly dimmed and then turned into ashes.

"You, you misunderstood. This is really a misunderstanding. This is not the final contract. It is just one of the proposals put forward by the Thracian Kingdom!"

He fumbled, pulling out another parchment scroll from his arms, held it high, and unfolded it hastily.

This time the contract finally clearly stated:

"The Thracian Kingdom gave the Carterpa region to the Burning Embers Empire."

"Signed by: Wilham Aragon"

"Your Majesty, this is the true contract of our Thracian Kingdom!"

It turned out that although Wilham and the ministers of the Kingdom of Thrace did not value the barren Cateppa region, they were not willing to give it up easily.

This would not only undermine the dignity of the kingdom, but would also make the Burning Empire a greater threat to them.

Therefore, they made different contracts, allowing Sahise to fight for his rights and try to keep the kingdom's territory, so that they could continue to control the throat leading to the Anzeta Wilderness.

Now, seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, Sahise took out the last contract.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"not so good."

Cassius sneered.

"As expected of a former Fadlan, you are so arrogant that you created so many contracts to deceive me - do you really think the Empire dare not go to war with you?"

Sashi quickly defended himself, "Of course not, Your Majesty, we always uphold the principles of peace and integrity, and we are very kind to you and..."

"Haha, do you really think I don't know the situation in the south?"

Cassius interrupted him again, walking forward step by step. "I heard that the situation on your front line is very bad. Your army retreated hundreds of kilometers northward under the attack of General Taimur of the Cassander Kingdom, and lost several cities in succession. Even the capital is threatened."

"so"

A huge shadow loomed over Sahisa.

"Thrace is already in such a mess, who gave you the courage to bargain with me?"

"."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sahisa's lips trembled.

After a long while, he finally got up from the ground with great effort, straightened his clothes, and asked carefully: "Then, what else do you want?"

Cassius said calmly:

"However, you are very lucky. Although I am dissatisfied with your arrogance, I don't want the Kingdom of Cassander to win."

"You should thank me. My request is even beneficial to you."

Sahise was a little confused and could only shut up and wait.

Finally, Cassius' voice rang out.

"In addition to the ownership of the Carterba area required by the contract, you also need to purchase weapons from the Empire."

"Once the transaction is completed, I will naturally sign the contract."

Before he finished speaking, the contract flew from Sahise's hand and landed in front of the red dragon.

Then, under the escort of the Tiefling Guards, Sahisay and his delegation were invited out of the venue.

"Please come this way. His Majesty has made arrangements."

Strangely, the guards originally stationed at the altar left in a line.

Walking on the road, Sahise was still frightened by the power and aggressiveness of the red dragon.

But he was still a little surprised and asked Dayev beside him: "Why did he ask us to buy weapons?"

"I thought that His Majesty would directly ask us to hand over the gold coins."

Dayev was silent for a while before answering tentatively:
"Maybe."

"He really wants us to win?"

"boom!"

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet shook violently.

There was a rumbling sound from the ground, smoke and dust rolled in, and then a long dragon roar came from mid-air.

Sahise turned his head subconsciously, and saw that the place where the Istalia Altar was originally located was covered with mud and dust, but a huge black shadow appeared in the dust.

When the smoke and dust cleared, an even more unbelievable scene appeared -

I saw the ground in the distance suddenly rise nearly a hundred meters, forming a tall platform, lifting the entire altar into the air, so that anyone in Istalia could look up and admire the pyramid.

Cassius stood at the top of the altar, looking down at the earth indifferently, as if he had just done something insignificant.

At this moment, it seems like a miracle.

"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"

"Long live the Empire!"

"This is your Majesty's power!"

"What the hell? This faction leader can even smash wonders with his bare hands?"

The humans, monsters, and players in the city of Istalia looked up at the wonder of the "altar in the sky" and shouted loudly.

Sahise stared up at the spectacular sight with a dazed look on his face.

As a wizard, he naturally understood that environment shaping on this scale required at least a ninth-ring spell—and yet the emperor performed it so easily without even much energy consumption.

This is the ultimate individual power.

"Amaunator, above."

"Fortunately, fortunately we have concluded a peace treaty."

After a long silence, Sahise patted his chest with lingering fear, and couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't act rashly just now. (End of this chapter)
