Although he came from the Spartan Kingdom, he could still feel the firm conviction and confidence in the national power of the Lolan Empire from the words of King Kyle.
Was this the attitude of a true king?
He had fallen in love!
Puye immediately bowed to Kyle.
His tone was sincere and he spoke with admiration in his eyes. “I am truly deeply intrigued. I deeply feel that His Majesty is mighty and unstoppable.
“It was just as the King of Spartan said, a sudden disease is nothing more than a small stumbling block for greater progress.
“However, in the face of the incomparable power of the Lolan Empire, they will have no other effect than being crushed or kicked away.”
The King of Lolan’s answer was the true answer to show his status to the world. His humble subject was extremely impressed and could only gawk at him in admiration.
As he spoke, Puye took out the previous document written by Marcus.
“I will only present this document to his majesty. On behalf of the Spartan Kingdom, I am a man of my word and have long since come to a conclusion.
“The Spartan King has admired the culture of the Lolan Empire for a long time. He also has great admiration for the strength of the Lolan Empire and the wisdom of the monarch.
“Now, all three questions have been answered perfectly. I implore His Majesty to accept this document. After I return to the country, a new diplomatic mission will immediately come to the Lolan Empire.
“However, this time, the mission of the diplomatic mission is not to hand in the letter of friendship between the two countries, but to truly worship the Lolan Empire as the suzerain country, paying tribute every year and greeting each other every year respectfully.”
Looking at the document that Puye held in his hand again, Kyle did not immediately send someone to receive it. Instead, his expression changed.
Based on how he saw it, this progress was too fast, and a little too smooth. This caused Kyle to have some doubts in his heart. It was not a simple matter to treat another country as the suzerain country, and it should not be decided by a few questions.
The Lolan Empire had a lot of vassal countries. Most of them were weak, and their territory was not big. However, even these small countries had gone through a process when they treated the Lolan Empire as the suzerain country.
On the contrary, a Spartan Kingdom seemed to be a little reckless and willful.
This was not a trap, right?
The Lolan Empire had answered three questions perfectly, but for some reason, Kyle felt that the Spartan Kingdom seemed to be brewing something he did not know.
It was as if they were expecting the Lolan Empire to solve three questions and quickly become the suzerain of the Spartan Kingdom.
It was as if they would not be able to gain it if they were too late.
Could it be that the Spartan Kingdom was in a hurry to recognize the Lolan Empire as the suzerain so that they could take the hit for any troubles they caused soon?
Kyle could not help but have such doubts.
After all, it was not easy to accept underlings. The underlings would have to worship the person in power, and they would have to listen to the person in power’s orders.
In that case, once the underlings have problems and are met with danger, the person in power would definitely have to lend a hand.
There might be some conspiracy hidden behind something. Kyle was somewhat hesitant because of this. After thinking about it for a while, Kyle still gave a slight signal to Abner.
Abner immediately walked over and took the document with both hands. The meaning of taking it this time was different from the last time.
Last time, he was checking the content to verify it. This time, taking it meant that he had agreed to the request of the Spartan Kingdom to treat the Lolan Empire as the suzerain.
Therefore, before Kyle made a complete decision, he could not take it over by himself. He could only let his ministers take it first.
“Envoy Puye, regarding the matter of your country treating the Lolan Empire as the suzerain, we can not make a hasty decision.
“I still need to discuss it with the ministers. Let’s call it a day. You should go back and wait for the news.”
Although Puye was a little anxious, he knew that the more urgent the matter was, the worse it would be. So, he could only bow to Kyle and then leave carefully.
After Puye left, most of the ministers also left. Only Rosen and the others remained by Kyle’s side.
When everyone left, Allen said anxiously, “Your Majesty, you shouldn’t have said so easily that we want to destroy the Bora Kingdom in three years.
“I dare guarantee that today’s matter will only take a month at most to travel to the Bora Kingdom. At that time, the people of the Bora Kingdom will definitely be on guard against the Lolan Empire.
“If that’s the case, it will probably be much more difficult for the Lolan Empire to destroy the people of the Bora Kingdom in one go.”
However, Kyle directly waved his hand. He was still very confident about this problem.
“As I said just now, the people of Bora are just a bunch of useless chickens and dogs. As long as the Lolan Empire’s strong soldiers arrive, they will collapse and disperse in an instant.
“Lorne told me this himself. He said that the Lolan Empire has an incomparable crushing power against the people of Bora. They will be able to fight a war of national extermination within two to three years at most.
“Under such circumstances, is there any difference whether or not they are on guard in advance
“They have already reached the stage of a war of national extermination. No matter how they fight, it will be the same outcome. That is, our Lolan Empire will crush them directly!”
Kyle’s words revealed a high-spirited aura. After listening to it, Allen could not help but fall silent.
Regarding the comparison of strength between the two countries, he was confident. After all, he had always been in charge of the Ministry of War aspect.
Moreover, even Lorne had also said the same thing, with the young man’s judgment, Allen knew that that man had no wrongs.
However, he still dared not say anything, so Rosen immediately took over the conversation.
“Your Majesty, even if that’s the case, we shouldn’t say it directly in front of that foreign envoy.
“On the surface, he may be asking a question, but in reality, he is stirring up trouble. He is deliberately stirring up a war between us and the Bora people.
“And to do such a thing intentionally, I would never believe that the Spartan Kingdom does not have any other ideas.
“If we openly express our attitude in this hall, wouldn’t it just cause more trouble?”
When Kyle heard Rosen speak so solemnly, he could not help but hesitate.
This third question was the only one that he did not consult Lorne in the tavern with.
Could it be that he had made a mistake on this question?
That would be too embarrassing.
However, when it came to governing a country, one needed to be careful. It was impossible for him to just wave his hand and do nothing about it after he so brazenly told others of his plan.
Therefore, Kyle still asked with some worry, “In Rosen’s opinion, what should I do next?”
Rosen gestured with his hand, then, he replied, “The good thing about today’s matter is that His Majesty has not personally received that document. This means that the Lolan Empire has not officially accepted the Spartan Kingdom as a vassal state. There is still room for improvement in this matter.
“I suggest that Your Majesty, you might as well go to that tavern and ask Lorne about it. Perhaps it’ll have an unexpected effect in terms of how he sees it.
“We only need to know what the purpose of the Spartan Kingdom’s actions is, and whether it’s necessary or not to accept them as a vassal state.
“As long as we know this, we’ll know what to do next.”
