Chapter 1,053 Adding Insult To Injury
"These greedy guys!" The King of the Holy Spirit Empire slammed the table angrily in the palace, "They are trying to push us to a dead end!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" the ministers asked anxiously.
The King of the Holy Spirit Empire frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "We cannot compromise easily.
If we agree to their conditions, the country's dignity and interests will be seriously damaged.
We must be ready to fight. "
The ministers nodded in agreement.
They knew that in the face of the aggressiveness of the coalition forces, the Holy Spirit Empire had no way out.
The King of the Holy Spirit Empire immediately ordered the mobilization of the empire's five High Level knights to go to the border for defense.
These knights are the elite forces of the Holy Spirit Empire, and their joining will greatly enhance the border defense capabilities.
"Your Majesty, in accordance with your order, the five High Level knights of the empire have begun mobilization. They will go to the border as soon as possible for defense." Ten ministers came to report.
"Very good." The King of the Holy Spirit Empire nodded, "These knights are our elite, and their presence will intimidate the coalition forces."
"At the same time, preparations for peace talks are also in full swing." Another minister added, "We have sent a mission to coalition camp 557, hoping to resolve this crisis through diplomatic means."
The King of the Holy Spirit Empire took a deep breath: "Peace talks are our first choice, but we must also be prepared for the worst.
Tell the Knights to prepare for battle. We will never let the coalition succeed easily. "
On the other side of the palace, the leaders of the five High Level knights gathered together to discuss plans and strategies for heading to the border.
"This mission is no small matter. We must go all out." The leader of the First Knights said solemnly, "We must pay close attention to the movements of the coalition forces and we must not let them take any opportunity."
"Yes, we have a heavy responsibility." The leader of the Second Knights said, "The security of the border is left to us. We must work together to resist foreign enemies."
At the same time, in the coalition camp, generals from various countries were also discussing countermeasures.
"The Holy Spirit Empire has begun to mobilize their knights. We must act as soon as possible." A general said eagerly.
“We cannot allow them time to strengthen the defense of the border.” Another general added, “We should launch a surprise attack (bjai) while their foothold is not stable.
However, some generals held different opinions: "We should still proceed with caution.
The Knights of the Holy Spirit Empire are not that easy to deal with. If we act rashly, we are likely to get into trouble. "
"Moreover, we cannot ignore the possibility of peace talks." A more rational general reminded, "If the peace talks succeed, we can avoid a bloody war.
While the two sides are making intense preparations, the peace talks delegation is also negotiating intensely.
"We hope to resolve this dispute through peaceful means." The members of the Holy Spirit Empire's mission said sincerely, "The war is not good for both sides [Song and Jin will bring endless pain and losses."
However, representatives of the coalition forces did not seem so friendly: "Your current situation is very clear.
If you do not agree to our conditions, we will have to take military action. "
"Our conditions have been very clear." The members of the Holy Spirit Empire's mission responded firmly, "We are willing to conduct peace talks on the basis of equality and respect, but we will never accept any unreasonable demands."
The progress of the peace talks is slow and difficult, with both sides testing each other's bottom line and intentions.
However, as time goes by, border tensions continue to escalate.
The soldiers of the Knights are ready for battle. They are in full formation and are always ready to welcome the coalition's attack.
The atmosphere on the border is becoming increasingly tense, and a war seems about to break out.
In this tense atmosphere, the progress of the peace talks has become even more critical.
Both sides understand that if the peace talks fail, a bloody war will be inevitable.
However, just as both sides were preparing for a possible war, an unexpected thing happened.
In the coalition camp, a young soldier hurriedly broke into the generals' meeting tent.
"Report to the general!" the soldier said breathlessly, "Our spies have discovered that a secret force from the Holy Spirit Empire is approaching us!"
"What? A secret force?" a general asked doubtfully, "Are you sure it's not their knighthood?"
"Definitely not." The soldier replied affirmatively, "This unit moves secretly and does not look like a regular knights."
The news caused an uproar among the coalition forces.
The generals began to urgently discuss countermeasures. Some people thought this was a trick of the Holy Spirit Empire, trying to distract their attention; others thought that this might be an important action of the Holy Spirit Empire and must be taken seriously.
In the Holy Spirit Empire Palace, the king was listening to reports from ministers.
"Your Majesty, the coalition forces seem to have learned of our secret operations." A minister said worriedly, they may be wary of our plan. "
"This is inevitable." The King of the Holy Spirit Empire said calmly, "But no matter what, we cannot give up this opportunity.
Tell the secret troops to keep going and keep going no matter what the odds. "
At the same time, on the border, the knights of the Spirit Empire also learned the news.
They began to strengthen patrols and alerts to prevent sudden attacks by the coalition forces.
The entire border was enveloped in a tense and dignified atmosphere.
The atmosphere in the peace talks conference room became increasingly tense.
The representatives of the coalition forces looked arrogant, while the members of the Holy Spirit Empire's mission looked solemn.
"We have given the final conditions," the representative of the coalition said coldly. "If you don't agree, then don't blame us for being rude."
The chief negotiator of the Holy Spirit Empire took a deep breath and tried to sound calm: Your conditions are too harsh.
To cede so much territory and pay such huge compensation is unacceptable to us, the people of the Empire of the Holy Spirit.
"Huh, unacceptable?" The representative of the coalition forces snorted disdainfully, "Then get ready to welcome our army!"
There was a long silence.
The representatives of the Holy Spirit Empire looked at each other, their hearts filled with helplessness and anger.
They know that the coalition forces are taking advantage of the situation, but the Holy Spirit Empire currently does not have enough power to fight against the coalition forces.
"We...we need time to think about it," the chief representative of the Holy Spirit Empire said in the end. .
