Chapter 230
Hearing this, Jedidiah burst into laughter as if he had heard some hilarious joke. “Your Majesty, how can you be so naive? You are an emperor!”
Emperor Grant froze in place, stunned by Jedidiah’s reaction.
After a few seconds, he stammered, “What must I do for you to spare Benson?”
“What must I do for you to spare Benson?”
Hearing this, Jedidiah chuckled and said, “Letting him go is possible. It mainly depends on what price you are willing to pay.”
“What do you want?” Emperor Grant asked cautiously.
“Half of Vyrdenia’s territory, how about that?”
These few words were like a bomb thrown in
the water, exploding with countless splashes.
“You are dreaming!”
Suddenly, Lorne’s firm voice resounded throughout the room. “You are dreaming!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Vyrdenian high–ranking officials echoed his sentiment.
A person said, “That’s right! Vyrdenia’s territory is sacred and inviolable!”
Another said, “Give up your wishful thinking! Vyrdenia will never cede territory, no matter what!”
Someone else said, “Even if only one Vyrdenian remains, we will fight to the death against the enemy!”
Hearing this, Jedidiah helplessly spread his hands. “In that case, there’s nothing more to be done.”
After speaking, he looked at Emperor Grant and sighed, “The Sunset Empire shows no mercy to captives. I suppose there will be another corpse hanging from the gates of the military tomorrow.”
Jedidiah’s words were like a sharp knife piercing Emperor Grant’s heart, making his already restless heart skip a beat.
