Chapter 518 Rejecting the Invitation of the Restoration King Dastam

"Your Excellency Earl Zhang Qiang, the speed of your rise is impressive. Your bravery and wisdom have already spread throughout the continent of Calradia. Although the Kujit Kingdom and your territory are at war, I hope that my visit will You were not inconvenienced at all, . . . I came with good intentions, you know."

Dastam said to Zhang Qiang very humbly.

Zhang Qiang looked at him, "I know why you are here, but, Your Excellency Dastam, do you know that all the current kings of Calradia don't want to hear his subordinates and you claiming that they should be on the throne?" You will cause me a lot of trouble if you contact the King of Restoration, if it is inconvenient, then since you stepped into my territory and wanted to see me, it will be very inconvenient for me."

Dustam smiled apologetically, "I apologize to you, but you have to listen to me, you know, compared to your current little inconvenience, it is completely disproportionate to what you get in return, I think you should know , Helping a king who restores the country, as a hero from the dragon, what power and status can he get.

You are now a powerful but inexperienced ordinary earl. I think King Harlaus doesn't want you to go one step further, although you already have the same right to participate in the kingdom's affairs as those great nobles, and you can on some major issues.

For example, the newly conquered territories, the internal distribution of some territories, and the competition for the positions of nobles in some kingdoms all have the right to speak, and you can fight for it, but in fact, you have not obtained these rights, you are just an ordinary Earl, if on that day, the relationship between you and King Harlaus becomes unfriendly, he can accuse you of colluding with the enemy, engaging in treasonous activities, confiscate your territory, and confiscate your hard work. The spoils won in battle, so what else do you have besides exile? "

After finishing speaking, he smiled and looked at Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang was also thinking about these things in his heart. He hadn't been in contact with King Harolds for a long time. He didn't quite remember what Harolds looked like. Most of them are the orders, letters of appointment, and canonization letters issued by King Harolds to him. It is so businesslike. I believe that the mutual favor between the two of them has dropped a lot.

In this way, it is difficult to guarantee that the things that Dastam said will not happen, and he did not participate in the game of power in the kingdom. He was still excluded from the game of power. The reason why Si's relationship is not very strong is also because he doesn't see each other often, and he doesn't follow him to fight in the north and south.

Seeing Zhang Qiang's silence, Dustam thought that Zhang Qiang was tempted, and continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"As long as you help me restore the throne, I think I can guarantee these rights of yours. I only want the throne, and you are responsible for the specific affairs. The military power is also yours. You are the most powerful person in Kujit. Now Kuji The Special Kingdom was defeated by you and has no strength to fight with you, but some people still want to cause trouble for you as always, I think these people should let you deal with them, and I will support your decision."

Zhang Qiang is still undecided. What he is actually thinking about is whether to support the King of the Restoration of the Kingdom, to be a powerful cabinet minister, or to be the king on his own. The Kingdom of Swadia contends.

In that case, the Kujit people will be crippled and divided from left to right, unable to become prosperous again. I will choke their kingdom by the throat. As long as I don’t say let them develop, the prosperity of the Kujit kingdom will only be achieved. It is deformed. Now the cities of Dherim and Halma they occupy are left alone. They can make money and have prosperous business, but they don’t have enough sources of lords and soldiers. The largest source of soldiers is in their own territory, followed by the valley The Kujit Grassland inside has these shortcomings, and he has nothing to worry about when he establishes himself as the king on their territory that was originally theirs.

"I will guarantee your lord's rights and treat each of you nobles fairly." Dastam continued to lobby Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang continued to bow his head in silence, weighing the timing and conditions for himself to become king in his heart. At present, it may be the best time, but the conditions are not enough. The strength of the army and the strength of the lord, in his heart, his lord It's just generals who can lead troops one by one.

These are not enough to compete with the current Kingdom of Swadia, because they also own Fort Lunvadia and Fort Dremag. These two castles have always been the bridgeheads of the Kingdom of Swadia to defend against the Kugits. Although the border town is no longer worthy of its name, because of the fall of Dherim City, these two military towns were separated far away from the Kingdom of Swadia. Leburg and Uxhall are the frontlines against the Kingdom of Kujit and the Kingdom of Sarande.

But after all, it is still someone else's castle and territory, and he did not say give up, and he is the lord of the Kingdom of Swadia.

If you stand on your own, then you are a rebel of both the Kingdom of Kugit and the Kingdom of Swadia.

It will be attacked from three directions, one direction is the hinterland of the Kujit kingdom, Turga and Echemore; the other is the city of Halma and Dherim. If it is also defeated, then it is a posture surrounded by a circle, but the Kingdom of Swadia can send its lord to expedition to its own territory.

From the highlands of Megren Village, through the canyon in the middle of the Deherim Highlands, from Fort Dekios or directly from the wasteland, avoid Kujit's rangers, and directly attack Fort Lunvadia.

It's a headache.

Zhang Qiang didn't want to be attacked from three directions at the same time, and once he became self-reliant, he would be a street mouse that everyone on Calradia except Pearl Light Avar could beat, rebels, right?

In that way, the relationship between all countries and their newly established kingdom will instantly drop to indifference, and the Kingdom of Kugit and the Kingdom of Swadia will become enemies with themselves, and they will attack themselves whenever they have a chance. There is no such thing as a truce. Although the rebellion of the lords of Calradia is commonplace, but the rebels are not what every king sitting on the throne wants to see. Maybe because he is busy with other things, his relationship with himself will not deteriorate for the time being, but neither Will be friendly with myself.

Once they all freed their hands, they would be attacked by the six kingdoms. Imagine how terrifying it would be to be overwhelming with enemies one after another.

So now, the time for self-reliance is not very ripe.

But he also didn't want to help others restore the country, and he firmly believed in his heart that there was only one way for him to become king himself.

Therefore, he said to Dastam very tactfully: "At any time, even if there are enough reasons to give up your allegiance to someone, you should consider it carefully, because there is a bad reputation for easily changing hands. If I listen In your words, you have betrayed the Kingdom of Swadia, and the price I pay for my reputation will be quite expensive."

Zhang Qiang sat up straight, staring at Dastam, "Given the above reasons, I think I should carefully consider every decision I make, especially your proposal, I'm sorry, I can't convince myself to give up on Halaus The loyalty of the king," Zhang Qiang looked to the left and right, and the guards of the Swadia Kingdom standing beside him, "They will not agree to my betrayal of the Swadia Kingdom, and I will do it for their lives and their families. For the sake of my life, I cannot grant your request."

Dustam was very helpless, and sighed with some disappointment, "Even you won't help me, it seems that I have to continue in exile, waiting for the arrival of the warrior who wants to help me restore the country, well, I have interrupted today That's enough, goodbye."
