"I am here on behalf of King Gravel of the Kingdom of Northland, and I have come with great sincerity. If the Kuruth Kingdom is not willing to coexist peacefully with us, then I will leave immediately. "Haibull looked at the generals of the Kuruth Kingdom with contempt and said coldly.
His words angered many of the fierce generals, but before they could retaliate, the robed minister spoke first, "We have always abided by the treaty, and peace is what we desire. However, our treaty seems to have been signed with the German Empire, not the Kingdom of Northland."
"The Kingdom of Northland is now the only legitimate regime in the North." Haibull argued.
"Although the Kuruth Kingdom lost the treaty back then, we still have tens of thousands of cavalry ready for battle." The minister flaunted his military strength and threatened Haibull.
In his view, the Kingdom of Northland was the best target for plundering. They had salt, cloth, ironware, and all sorts of other wonderful things. If he could snatch these things, it would greatly alleviate the poverty of the Kuruth Kingdom.
Haibull smiled and asked, "Then, if one day the Kingdom of Northland came to the grasslands to hunt, would the Kuruth Kingdom welcome them?"
"How dare you!" A general wanted to step forward with his long sword, but he was stopped by the minister with a look. The other generals who wanted to step forward saw the expression on the minister's face and suppressed their urge to go on a rampage.
After the minister stopped the general who stepped forward, he took two steps forward and looked at Haibull, "Actually, I really want to know, on what basis ….. you dare to cross the mountain range and talk about the treaty with us."
Hearing this, Haibull grinned. He looked at Seru Khan who was still sitting on the throne and requested, "Since you want to see our strength, I will first bring up the gift our king gave to Your Majesty."
The minister frowned, then nodded and agreed to Haibull's request. Soon, two soldiers of the Kingdom of Northland carried a small wooden box and walked to Haibull's side.
They opened the wooden box and revealed a long object inside. No one present could recognize this object, but it had a famous name in the Kingdom of Northland, Glory's Fury. This was a crossbow that the Kingdom of Northland had copied from the crossbow seized from the German Empire.
Haibull reached out and took out the brand-new crossbow from the box. He pulled the bowstring clumsily and put a crossbow bolt into the groove. Then, he aimed at a pillar in the distance and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" After a crisp sound, all the guards and generals were so frightened that they drew their swords and wanted to stop Haibull who was holding a dangerous weapon.
However, Haibull put the weapon back into the box and looked contemptuously at the generals of the Kuruth Kingdom who only knew how to show off their bravery, "This is the Glory's Fury developed by the Kingdom of Northland. The king asked me to give it to Your Majesty."
As Haibull spoke, he pointed at the crossbow in the box and said, "If the Kuruth Kingdom is willing to form an alliance with us, then whether it is iron, cloth, salt, or the like, we will provide you with sufficient supplies. We will not skimp on them."
"If the Kuruth Kingdom insists on fighting with the Kingdom of Northland, then the soldiers of the Kingdom of Northland equipped with this weapon will welcome Your Majesty's brave warriors!" After saying this, Haibull waved his hand. The two soldiers of the Kingdom of Northland put down the box and turned to leave. They did not even look at the sharp swords around them.
The strong Seru Khan finally stood up from his throne. His body was as burly as a wall. He stepped on the soft wool carpet and walked to Haibull's side before saying, "You had the chance to kill me just now."
"If Your Majesty insists on becoming enemies with the Kingdom of Northland, there are too many soldiers of the Kingdom of Northland who can shoot better than me." Haibull did not back down. He stared into Seru Khan's eyes and retorted.
Seru Khan bent down and took out the crossbow from the box. He handed it to Haibull and said, "One more time. I was too far away to see clearly."
After taking the crossbow from Seru Khan, Haibull pulled the bolt and reloaded it. He then handed it back to Seru Khan.
The burly Seru Khan took the loaded crossbow and listened to Haibull's explanation. Then, he raised his rifle and assumed a shooting posture. He pointed the black muzzle at Haibull, who was still standing there. "Pull this thing called the trigger and you'll die?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. If you pull this trigger, I will die." Haibull nodded. He felt a very dangerous aura. It was the aura of a ruler that made people tremble.
Seru Khan succeeded the throne when he was seven years old. In the past 20 years, he had built the Kuruth Kingdom into the strongest kingdom in history. He relied on ruthlessness and killing.
Now, he wanted to kill, so the aura he emitted was so dense that it made it difficult for people to breathe.
"Bang!" Seru Khan pulled the trigger, but he was not aiming at Haibull. He shot the general who was yelling about robbing. The crossbow bolt easily pierced through the general's armor, leaving a small hole that was not as big as the arrow.
However, the general was in a much worse state than being shot by the crossbow bolt. He widened his eyes and tried to cover the wound on his chest, but he found that he could not even lift his arms.
He struggled to stand on the spot, but he staggered and fell backwards. It was not until he was lying on the ground with his back drenched in blood that he realized how powerful the weapon in Seru Khan's hand was.
"Ugh …" He wanted to say something, but he only let out a muffled groan and closed his eyes forever. Around him, the group of generals who didn't dare to move looked at the corpses on the ground and swallowed their saliva before calming themselves down.
"The decision has been made! Kuruth and the Kingdom of Northland … Peace! "Seru Khan put down the crossbow." This is good! I like it very much! "he went on, laughing heartily.
