This Holy Knight is So Despicable!-Chapter 376 - 317: Who Wants to Be the Next Dish?

Previously, the surrounding Holy Countries were indeed all in a state of observation.

After all, the war between the Empire and the Elves was fought quite strangely.

Any decent person could see that there was definitely a deeper level of game behind this war, but for now, it was still a bit murky.

Such matters concerning the life and death of the entire nation naturally required a clear understanding before taking a stand.

Unfortunately, Lette did not intend to give these people so much time.

After occupying these ten cities, he sent invitations to the surrounding Holy Countries, inviting them to witness the ceremony.

This was forcing the other party to take sides.

Want to be a fence-sitter and bet again when the situation stabilizes?

The ideal is plump, but the reality is bony.

The invitations Lette sent to these Holy Countries were all given with very tight timings, to the point where there was simply no time to hesitate, and one had to rush with all effort to arrive.

He didn’t want these guys weighing any pros and cons, nor did he want them to perform any more tedious probing.

The rotten egg issue made him involuntarily want to speed up the Empire’s conquest pace.

"Ten cities, including six border cities, you can choose by yourselves."

Lette raised his hand and slowly opened the map.

The representatives of various Holy Countries sitting in the negotiation installation looked at these fertile lands, their eyes turned green.

"But there’s one thing, these cities are not for free."

And Lette’s one sentence gradually calmed these people down.

Yes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, especially not in the hands of this well-known Holy Sin.

To take advantage? Not losing is earning big! If one can tie, that’s enough to write an autobiography and let the Minstrels sing it.

"These cities need national religious co-governance. That is, the highest decision-maker in the city is changed from the City Lord to the City Guard and City Pastor.

Both parties have jurisdiction, and matters requiring cooperation are negotiated by agreement between the two parties.

The specific political power division and the basic structure of the updated city leadership team are all written in the handbook before you.

As I said, staying or leaving is all up to you willingly.

I have plenty of cities, plenty of land.

If you don’t do it, there are plenty of people who will."

Lette knocked on the table: "If you’re willing, you can come over and sign the agreement with me now.

Today, you can have your country’s garrison troops and administrative team dispatched to station in the chosen city to start normal defense and management.

A golden opportunity once missed is gone forever, you won’t find this kind of offer anywhere else."

Hearing Lette say this, most people were still very hesitant.

After all, for them, a new management model meant that they had to be subject to others.

They have management rights for these cities, but no actual ownership.

The City Guard and City Pastor, two decision-makers, two governing teams, mutually restraining and promoting each other, sounds good, but who knows if there will be any trouble afterwards?

Just when they were wavering, one of the envoys stood up directly.

"Holy Sin Lord, our Holy Karotti Country is willing to accept these terms. If you agree, we can take all 16 cities!

I will send a magic transmission to our Monarch immediately; the team can set off now!"

Lette looked at the speaking envoy: "What’s your name?"

"I am called Rosena, Holy Sin Lord."

"You, are quite remarkable. I’ll allow you to choose three cities." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Thank you!"

Rosena immediately left his seat and rushed to Lette’s side, quickly picking three border cities.

"Oh?"

Lette looked at the envoy with surprise: "Aren’t you choosing these ten fertile cities?

The border city has already been devastated. Although being rebuilt, it will take some time to develop and prosper again."

Rosena smiled slightly: "With the great Holy Sin Lord here, I believe the border city will surely prosper sooner or later.

Our Holy Karotti Empire isn’t that far from here, so the border city is more appealing.

Moreover, we also hope to establish long-term cooperation intentions with the Elf Empire!

We ask Lord Wright to please introduce us at that time!"

Those who could serve as envoys present here certainly weren’t any ordinary talents.

After listening to Rosena’s words, they suddenly came to a realization.

After the war ends, the Elf Clan will usher in a leap-forward development.

Or in other words, the Elves’ leap-forward development has already become a foregone conclusion. Whoever gets the border city gets a head start, an advantage to ride this fast-moving cab.

"I can only give you two border cities, choose one more from the remaining ten cities."

Rosena felt a bit regretful, but two border cities were already a big fat chunk.

"What, unwilling?"

"How could that be, Holy Sin Lord. This is a blessing, purely granted territory! We take it without any troop effort, what more to complain about?"

Rosena’s words immediately awakened the other delegation members in the conference room as if from a dream.

Indeed.

This is purely granted!

Why are they still thinking whether it’s worth it, utterly like being possessed!

A foolproof deal where not earning is the biggest loss.

Sixteen cities were chopped to three in one go, leaving thirteen remaining, even giving one per person isn’t enough to share.

By that time if didn’t get one, could only watch others feast, unable to even sip a drop of soup.

When going back, wouldn’t their Monarch just chop them off right away?

The envoys immediately rushed over without caring about any dignity, crazily squeezing forward.
