Troll King's City.
The faint light of dawn shone from the east, gently tearing away the darkness on the ground.
The hazy light shone on the snow on the ground, giving off a cold glow.
"Clop, clop, clop …"
The crisp sound of hooves quickly broke this tranquil and beautiful scene. Countless black shadows suddenly appeared on the horizon and continued to approach the Great Demon King's City.
However, when they were about ten kilometers away from the palace, the Black Guards stopped.
However, this almost tangible pressure still made the troll guards on the city feel suffocated.
Ever since the capital was moved, this was the first time an enemy had come so close to the heart of the Troll Empire.
Moreover, it was the Black Guard that instilled fear in countless trolls!
Not long after the arrival of the Black Guards, the south gate of the Great Devil King's City slowly opened.
King Modo II and Prince Moluwe walked out.
Behind them, a group of Wolf Cavalry guards were standing guard at the city gates. If anything happened, they would rush out of the city gates and bring their emperor back to the city.
At the same time, two figures walked out from the Black Cavalry.
The two sides slowly approached.
After walking for a while, King Modo II recognized Colin, but the guards beside Colin made him frown slightly.
"Moluwe, is the person beside Colin Charles St. Hilde?"
Prince Moluwe narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Your Majesty, it should be."
Following which, the Troll Prince revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "I heard that this brat was the one who leaked our plan. Hehe, we can kill him together with us later!"
King Modo II shook his head and said softly, "No, we can kill Colin, but it's best to capture Charles alive. We can use him to negotiate with the Duke St. Hilde. "
"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Moluwe nodded and reminded, "Your Majesty, when the fight starts, you can run back immediately. Don't worry about me."
King Modo II nodded and did not refute.
This troll emperor was not known for his strength and was only at rank 3.
In fact, this was a rather rare occurrence in the Giant Demon Empire where the strong were respected.
But there was a reason for this.
Unlike the inheritance law of the Radiance Empire, the inheritance law of the Giant Demon Empire did not use the eldest son inheritance system.
The successive Troll Emperors were usually the strongest members of the Troll Royal Family, the Volgin Family.
The most powerful person in this generation of the Volgin Family was undoubtedly the Paladin Prince of the North, Otto Volgin.
However, Prince Otto was famous for being a martial arts fanatic and had no interest in becoming the emperor.
Moreover, when he rejected the throne, Prince Otto said something that would deeply affect the ownership of the throne of the Giant Demon Empire.
"What the Empire needs now is an emperor with political wisdom, not a warrior with brute strength."
At that time, the Troll Empire had been suppressed by the Blackguards to the point of suffocation. Moreover, the previous Troll Emperor had his head chopped off in a duel with Duke St. Hilde. Such a blow caused many Troll nobles to reflect.
Was martial strength a requirement to become the Troll Emperor?
Under such circumstances, the words of the most powerful person in the Troll Empire, Prince Otto, had a decisive effect. Thus, the ownership of the throne of the Giant Demon Empire did not take martial strength into consideration.
It was also because of this that King Modo II, who had displayed great political talent, stood out and ascended the throne.
After ascending the throne, this emperor had indeed been diligent and had pushed for many reforms, allowing the Giant Demon Empire to regain its vitality.
If not for the Saint Hilde brothers putting on a show last year that caused the Giant Demon Empire's elite army of 300,000 to be annihilated, the Northern Frontier would have to face a gradually growing Giant Demon Empire.
Soon, the two sides met at the center of the Black Cavalry and the Giant Demon Empire's city.
"Your Majesty King Modo II, Your Highness Prince Moluwe, please allow me to bring the Duke Of St. Hilde's warm greetings to you!" Colin smiled and bowed slightly.
The corner of Modo II's mouth twitched. Perhaps he was displeased with Colin's "friendly greeting", but he still maintained his poise on such an occasion. After returning the greeting, he smiled and said,
After returning the greetings, he smiled and said, "Viscount Angley, welcome to the Royal City. Please also pass on my greetings to the Duke Of St. Hilde."
Then, he turned to Charles and greeted, "Your Excellency Charles, I didn't expect you to have such deep feelings for the Northern Frontier and your father!"
King Modo II thought Charles was playing the "spy", so he was obviously mocking Charles' betrayal.
However, Charles did not respond to Modo II's mockery. Even his expression did not change at all, as if he did not hear anything.
Colin smiled and continued, "Your Majesty, let's get down to business."
"Okay." King Modo II did not waste too much time on Charles. He nodded and said, "I wonder what Viscount Angley wants to talk to me about?"
Colin looked into King Modo II's eyes and said with a smile, "First of all, to thank you for agreeing to this meeting, I have a big gift for you."
"What gift?" King Modo II asked curiously.
Colin turned around and waved his hand behind him.
Then, more than a hundred troll captives were pushed out and walked toward the Royal City.
"Your Majesty, these troll captives are my big gift to you. They're all professionals in the army going south. I'm sure you don't want them to die under the blades of the Black Cavalry, right?"
King Modo II observed carefully. After confirming that the figures walking over were indeed trolls, he was relieved and asked, "So, you don't want a ransom?"
Colin shrugged and said generously, "Since it's a gift, why would I want a ransom?"
"Then I thank you for your generosity!" King Modo II finally showed a sincere smile. He then asked, "What happened to the other troll captives?"
"Killed them all," Colin said casually.
Prince Molvey's eyes widened. He could barely hide his murderous intent.
King Modo II's heart was bleeding, but he still kept calm on the surface. He continued to ask, "Okay, Viscount Angley, I'll accept your gift. Now, let's talk business. "
Colin nodded with a smile. "Okay. Your Majesty, I came to see you this time to make peace. "
"Make peace?"
"Yes. Continuing to fight won't benefit either side. So, why don't we make peace? "Colin paused and said," Of course, there are conditions. "
"Speak." King Modo II's tone turned cold.
Colin did not seem to notice it at all. He continued casually, "Your Majesty, as long as you agree to the following conditions, I'll immediately withdraw my army.
First, you'll personally apologize for attempting to invade the Northern Frontier.
Second, to compensate the Angele family for their losses in this war, the Troll Empire must compensate 18 million gold coins, which can be paid over five years.
Third, the Troll Empire must promise never to be enemies with the Northern Frontier again and disband their army. They can only keep 30,000 regular soldiers at most.
Fourth, the Troll Empire will send 200,000 young and strong slaves to the Northern Frontier.
Fifth … "
King Modo II's face turned pale when he heard Colin's first condition.
However, when Colin listed out more ridiculous conditions, King Modo II calmed down.
A cold smile slowly appeared on his face. He looked at Colin as if he was looking at a clown.
When Colin finally finished listing all the conditions, Modo II smiled and said, "I'm not going to give you a chance.
"Viscount Angley, we also have a condition for this negotiation."
"Oh? Your Majesty, please go ahead. "
"Our condition is …" King Modo II looked at Prince Molvey, who was already furious, "You must die!"
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Molvey charged towards Colin like an arrow released from a bow.
