Chapter 442 Even the Prince Has to Compromise

I don’t know if they were afraid of their bad reputation from time to time. Anyway, although some of these nobles shouted a few words, it was insignificant and they soon shut up honestly.

And this matter was quickly sent to the capital. Keya, who was fighting with the eldest prince, smashed a decoration he liked very much into pieces on the spot after receiving the information from the border.

After Keya calmed down, he summoned all the officials in the capital. If there are familiar people here, they must be able to see that some officials have been replaced, but those important officials are still the same.

Keya, who wants to sit firmly on the throne, must use these important officials. They are not just a position, but also have powerful families behind them. Besides, in order to stabilize the capital, he dare not replace these people now. He even made many promises in private, otherwise they would not work together to help Keya.

"Everyone has seen what happened in Remas. That abominable half-elf actually dared to occupy the Blackstone Fortress. What do you think we should do about this matter?" Keya suppressed his anger.

"This kind of thing must not be tolerated. This half-elf actually dared to destroy the agreement between the nobles. If he compromises this time, then where will he attack next time? There is no precedent for inter-provincial territories."

Many people nodded. What Chi Nan did was really challenging their psychological limits.

But at this time, the commander of the Royal Capital Army shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, in this situation, I'm afraid we really can't do whatever we want. Originally, our strength on the front line is not as good as those rebels. If there is trouble in the rear, it will definitely tie up a large number of our troops. It is difficult to deal with Hongshaling by relying on the two provinces of Karas and Chaos."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Hongshaling is already very powerful. Our Griffin Knights were defeated by them. If there are more airships of that kind, our losses will be greater if we deal with them."

It was not easy to finally mobilize a hundred Griffin Knights to stabilize the border this time. If they could conquer Hongshaling and obtain a steady supply of resources, their strength would be even stronger.

But now they have failed, and most of the griffin knights have been lost. Only a dozen of them have escaped back. Among these dozen people, there are three people who are disabled and have lost the opportunity to continue fighting.

The loss of these griffin knights has made them more passive on the front line. Moreover, the strength shown by Chi Nan has already had the foundation to fight against them. Even if they have many masters, they will suffer heavy losses before they can win in a head-on confrontation. It is not known how much power Chi Nan has hidden. At this time, they dare not act rashly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I suggest that we use appeasement. We can slowly negotiate the conditions, appease them first, and then solve this matter after the kingdom is unified."

Gradually, everyone's opinions are almost unified. The only dissatisfaction is the senior officials of the Noble Council. They manage the relationship and coordination between the nobles. Once this opening is opened, it will be more troublesome to manage in the future. It's not that they can't see the current situation, but it's not good for them, but they can't speak now.

If they speak, whether they oppose or agree, it will not be good for them. Keya's face was also full of anger: "Are we just going to let it go and let them continue to be arrogant?"

"Your Majesty, it's not about letting it go, but temporarily appeasing them. Moreover, we may be able to put forward a condition and let Hongshaling provide us with some plant weapons, so that we can be more relaxed on the front line."

They all saw how powerful those plant weapons were. If they could get a batch, not to mention being more relaxed, even defeating the eldest prince would be easy. This is what they thought.

"Plant weapons, plant weapons again, don't you know that as long as Earl Chi Nan controls that kind of plant weapon, it can make the weapon ineffective or backfire on itself." A noble raised an objection.

The Minister of Finance came out and said, "But we cannot deny the power of plant weapons. And after our research, those plant weapons can only be controlled to be ineffective if they are within a certain distance of Earl Chi Nan. We just need to know where Earl Chi Nan is. This is not a difficult task for us."

"Then in the future, the army that uses plant weapons will be restrained by Hongshaling."

The Minister of Finance continued, "You are right, but as long as we can conquer the kingdom first and unify the kingdom, those masters who have remained neutral before will join us, and the Mage Association will also provide us with strength."

Everyone laughed. Yes, as long as the Mage Association provides them with strength, a mere Hongshaling is nothing. Don't look at those plant weapons so powerful, but facing a truly powerful mage, they are nothing at all. Throw down a few large magics, and those plant weapons will be destroyed. The only trouble is the airship.

The airship flies in the sky, and it is not easy to shoot it down with magic. Of course, there is no need to be afraid of the king. The king has a gold-level mage and a mage tower. As many airships come, as many will die.

"Then let's forget about it for now. Everyone, how are we going to appease that half-elf now?"

Everyone could see the anger in Keya's heart. He finally became the king, but he was not recognized by most people. Not only that, there were always people who made trouble for him, and now there was such a person behind him.

If it weren't for the front line tying up his troops, Keya really wanted to go back and get rid of Chi Nan first.

"Confer him a title, and upgrade his title, because of the military merits he has gained on the front line. Blackstone Fortress will be managed by him in name, and he will provide us with plant weapons. In addition, he will secretly support other nobles in Remas and sow discord between them. According to internal information, the nobles in Remas are now very disgusted with Earl Chi Nan."

The military merits gained by Chi Nan on the front line have never been used and have been suppressed. Originally, he was going to use them to win over Chi Nan after Chi Nan joined him, but now he can only use them as an excuse.

A group of people gathered together to discuss what to do, and Chi Nan had already begun to transform Blackstone Fortress. Although Blackstone Fortress is a fortress, it is not a border after all, and the population here is large.

In addition to those armies that cannot be controlled or even trusted, Chi Nan is very envious of the large number of civilians around him. The total population of a mere Blackstone Fortress is not less than that of Hongshaling.
