Chapter 558: Persuade

"...That's probably the way it is."

In the room that had become a mess during the fight, Colin told the Marquis Garcia and Queen Midella about the agreement he reached with the Duke of Saint-Grian.

"I think this is the best solution right now!" Queen Midella said immediately.

From the very beginning, she disagreed with forcing Gregorian to abdicate, thinking that this would cause a huge disaster, and then decisively left the Dragon City and prepared to avoid this seemingly unavoidable storm.

But now, the early intervention of the Duke of St. Grianan has given things a turn for the better.

However, the Marquis Garcia was obviously not satisfied with this condition, and at this time he was still cold and silent.

Obviously, as the father of Vera, Marquis Garcia is more determined than anyone else to avenge his daughter.

"Garcia!" Queen Midella once again persuaded upon seeing this, "We are only temporarily letting go of Gregorian. The Duke of Saint-Grian has already promised that as long as the orc empire is defeated, the current problem will be solved. In an urgent crisis, she is willing to work with us to liquidate Gregorian!

So, for the sake of the overall situation of the empire, can't you endure more time? "

The Marquis Garcia finally raised his head, looked at his sister, and said, "If I say no, do you think I am not rational enough?"

Queen Midella wanted to avoid this question, but after thinking about it, she said frankly:

"Garcia, you are really not rational enough in this matter. You must know that the core of politics lies in compromise..."

"I really don't know much about politics." Marquis Garcia interrupted faintly, "but years of experience in the battlefield have taught me a truth-fighters are always fleeting. If you miss it this time, you may lose it completely. Chance to defeat the enemy."

Queen Midella defended: "The political arena and the battlefield are not the same..."

"How many differences can there be?" Marquis Garcia retorted firmly, "Can you guarantee that the Duke of Saint-Grian will fulfill his promise in the future?"

Even if she is willing to fulfill her promise, how can you know if she will die in this war?

Even if she is not dead, she is willing to abide by her promises, but after this battle, the West is bound to be overwhelmed. Is she still able to help us again?

The East is now on our side, but what about after this war?

The power of the lords will be hit hard in this war, but the church will not lose much, and even Gregorian will take advantage of the time when the lords are overwhelmed in this war to expand the power of the church.

At that time, the situation in the empire will completely change. Are you sure you can liquidate Gregorian smoothly?

Moreover, if we reach a reconciliation with the church now, we will no longer be able to use this reason to attack Gregorian again.

Missing this great opportunity, perhaps we will never miss the best time to defeat Gregorian.

I really don’t understand politics, but I know that wasting fighters on the battlefield is equivalent to giving up hope of victory, because the enemy will not wait for you to find a fighter again. They are also constantly looking for your weaknesses and waiting for them. When you find it, you won't be merciful! "

Queen Midella opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to refute the Marquis Garcia for a while.

Upon seeing this, Colin sighed secretly.

He knew that the only thing that could make Marquis Garcia change his mind at this time was the news that Vera had already awakened.

Therefore, Colin had to speak:

"His Royal Highness, Lord Marquis, I have actually kept a message from you..."

"what?"

Colin touched the tip of his nose and said frankly: "The Duke of St. Hild has actually awakened..."

"what?!"

The Marquis Garcia and Queen Midella screamed in surprise, and at the same time looked at Colin with piercing eyes, trying to make sure that he was not joking.

Colin smiled with some guilty conscience, and explained: "Of course I didn't intend to conceal the two of you. It's just that when Lord Duke wakes up, we have declared war on Gregorian. At this time, if this news is made public, then the North Territory Wouldn't the breath that I had just raised it completely vented?

We also have no reason to unite with the lords and people of the North, and there is no reason to force the church to make concessions.

Therefore, all things considered, I concealed the news.

I am very sorry for the trouble this has caused you..."

After speaking, Colin bowed deeply, but even if he lowered his head, he could feel Marquis García’s hot gaze shooting straight into the back of his head, as if to burn a hole in it...

Queen Midella giggled: "Earl Anglia, you are really beautiful with this hand!"

"Where, where..." Colin said with a smile, "I am also preventing the situation from getting out of control. This news can also restore it.

Now that the army of the orc empire has officially sent troops, it is not appropriate for us to entangle with the church.

And with the mediation of the Duke of St. Grien, I think we should indeed change to a more peaceful strategy..."

"Indeed." Queen Midella swept away the gloom before, and the whole person became energetic, "Garcia, since Vera is okay, you don't need to avenge Gregorian in such a hurry, right?"

The Marquis of Garcia glared at Colin, and did not answer Queen Midella's question, but the aura of the whole person had been reduced a lot, and the silence he showed at this time was actually a kind of acquiescence.

Colin quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, this time we are also forced by the situation. Let Gregory go for the time being, but we will definitely have to settle this account with him in the future."

Queen Midella put her cheek in her hand and added after hearing the words: "However, I think Garcia, your point of view just now makes sense. Even if we let Gregorian go for the time being this time, we can't condone him when he is about to explode. During the Orc War, I took the opportunity to develop the power of the church, and even deliberately sabotaged it."

Colin thought for a while, and said: "We can also pull the church into this war. For example, the Knights Templar can ask the army controlled by this church to follow the imperial army to the west to support it."

Queen Midella frowned and said with some worry: "This is a good way to bring the church down, but the question is, this time the Northern Territory has offended Gregory so much, will he be so embarrassed that he will make the Templars angry? Did the regiment make some irrational behaviors at critical moments?"

Colin smiled faintly, showing eight snow-white teeth, and said: "Don't worry, as long as the Knights Templar marches out, I will be able to deal with them!"

Queen Midella looked at the confident Colin and smiled: "Well, you are an expert on the battlefield, so do it. For this condition, the independence of the Northern Diocese should be no problem. Even if Gregorian is unwilling, he can only pinch his nose to agree.

But asking him to apologize publicly is probably difficult. After all, it will have a devastating blow to his personal authority and even the prestige of the church.

Therefore, when we wait for the formal negotiation, we can replace this condition with the Knights Templar marching with the army, presumably Gregorian should not object. "

"Okay." Colin nodded, and then realized something again, and said, "His Royal Highness, it looks like you don't plan to return to Winter City, right?"

"Not going back." Queen Midella gave Colin a cross-eyed look, "Since Vera has woken up, I don't need to look after her."

Colin smiled and complained secretly in his heart——

You feel that the danger has been relieved and you are reluctant to leave the political center of the empire.
