Chapter 78 The clown is in place
"I've seen this face many times, but this is the first time I've seen it from this angle. It's surprisingly good."

Hasank and his men all knelt on one knee, and the old prime minister gave a respectful speech:

"I am honored to witness the return of a supreme being, Your Majesty!"

With a wave of his hand, one of the old prime minister's subordinates brought over an exquisite iron box.

"We have already got your potion for you."

The other party shook his head and said:
"There's no rush yet."

"His Majesty?"

The old prime minister was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to say much. He could only lower his head reverently.

He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the imperial capital and said:

"This little girl is quite courageous. Not only did she let hundreds of thousands of you in, she also watched all six northern dukes rebel."

"If we are not careful, we will end up with a tragic outcome of our country being destroyed and our family being ruined."

The old prime minister agreed and said:
"Yes, if she is not careful, she will lose everything. But now she has won beautifully."

"She took back the two fortresses that controlled the border. We, the Six Princes, became prey."

"And now even I don't know how many of the coalition forces are hers."

He smiled and turned back and said:

"The north is the territory of the Six Dukes. Although the Six Dukes' power is not as strong as before after being conquered by Trajan 20 years ago, the north is still theirs."

"Because Trajan knew that even in those few years he could not cut off the roots that had grown in this land for a thousand years."

"So he compromised. During the Great Purge, Trajan only removed the branches of the Six Dukes. Their roots are still deeply buried underground, and no one knows how deep they are."

Having said this, He leaned over and grabbed a handful of dirt.

The mud and sand fell freely from the gaps between the fingers, while the grass and roots remained on the palms.

"But what Trajan failed to do, he did by killing his young princess."

"In order to recover from Trajan's oppression and fight against the new emperor, they will desperately squeeze the blood and flesh of the people. Twenty years is really a good time point."

"Not only did they fail to fully recover the Six Dukes, but they also caused their subjects to deeply hate their lord."

"Then, the lord started a war and brought in foreign enemies, and their lives became even more difficult after they had barely adapted to exploitation."

Looking at the green grass with obvious roots in his hand, He said thoughtfully:

"With this, those six clowns have lost. And they've dragged you down with them."

"Ever since Trajan killed your crown prince and tore you apart, the only reason you have remained a whole is because you have been maneuvering in the middle."

"Then the old people from that time are still here, and there is still some affection between them. Plus, this time it is really profitable."

"So you can convince them to unite and want to swallow up this growing empire."

"Originally, as long as your supply lines were not cut off, you could have fought for several more years. With the independence of the southern part of Baratheon and the complete fall of the northern part, they could not outlast you."

"But now, you have completely lost contact with the mainland."

With a gentle blow, the grass in my hand was completely separated from the roots and broke into two pieces that fell to the ground.

"Without the supplies from the mainland, your military morale will plummet, and you will also face the biggest logistical problem." "The land of the Sixth Lord is indeed still in your hands, but at this point in time, let's not talk about whether you can still work together, even if the Sixth Lord is really willing to support you strongly."

"Can the land that they have exploited for twenty years still support your astronomical consumption?"

"In fact, the more this happens, the more difficult your situation will become, because you are standing on the opposite side of the land beneath your feet!"

"The people of the Six Dukes will only become more eager and welcome the Emperor's army, and will be committed to cooperating with them to eliminate you."

"This isn't a war. This is clearly helping the royal family gain support from the people and take over the land."

After clapping his hands, he looked at the ashamed old prime minister and said with a smile:
"The young princess only leaves you two options. Either you surrender immediately after seeing the situation clearly, and then accept the astronomical compensation or even the cession of territory, which you are most afraid of."

"Either you fight to the bitter end and let her consume all of you on this land. Then, she won't even have to take the initiative to attack, because you will definitely cause chaos among yourselves."

"Who made almost all of your main forces and famous nobles die abroad?"

As for the possibility of a last-ditch battle, He was too lazy to even talk about it. They hadn't fought well before, even with high morale and complete logistics, let alone the possibility of a decisive battle now.

The old prime minister bowed his head deeply, then he opened his hands slightly and said to Him:
"That's why I want to welcome your return, Your Majesty!"

The old prime minister had a rough idea of ​​the Queen's spies and preparations spread all over the place.

He knew that this time when he went south, he would definitely encounter a very unexpected situation.

So in order to ensure victory, he found a true collaborator - one or three Supreme Beings.

As long as their return is ensured, the old prime minister is confident that he can win.

It was also based on this that he had been carefully preserving the coalition forces' strength.

The Queen did give him an unexpected response, but as long as he returned successfully, it didn't matter.

The flaw revealed by the Queen in order to lure them into the trap will become a fatal omission - he still has hundreds of thousands of troops at the gate of the imperial capital.

Before, even if he had hidden the Iron Fist Haro, he didn't think he could use it to conquer the Imperial City and kill the Queen.

But now, as long as the Supreme One is willing to show mercy, even though He has not yet truly taken back the authority.

That's not something the Queen can handle.

At the same time, they will also become the first followers of a god.

This is the supreme honor and endless benefits.

He tilted his head and smiled:
"You still haven't figured out who you are working with?"

"Yeah, they both wanted this opportunity very much, but in the end I was just a little bit stronger!"

The old prime minister smiled respectfully and said:

"I am just a humble mortal. I don't need to figure out the Supreme Being. I just need to know that if I offer my loyalty, you will show me mercy!"

He smiled with satisfaction and said:
"You remind me of my former pope. He was pretty much like you, but unfortunately, he's dead."

The old prime minister just lowered his head, which made him curious and asked:
"You can't possibly not know what I mean."

"I just know that I am not a devout believer and I am not qualified to serve the gods."

"I like you more and more. Hassank Iman, right? I remember the name."
