174: Chapter 174 Unexpected Visitor

"Distributing salaries now is an opportunity, so the salary must not only not be less than normal, but also doubled, understand?

Also, all the kingdom's money is with me, so it will be troublesome for you to do anything in the future. Here's a billion; come find me when you've used it up!"

With that, Arthur handed over a space ring.

Arthur was somewhat afraid that France would come up with some other trick, so he used a commanding tone for the rest of his words!

Hearing this, France was first a little aggrieved because Arthur had rejected her proposal.

Then she became excited again because the reason Arthur rejected her decision was to give them double their salary!

This made her gaze towards Arthur even more fervent!

Seeing this, Arthur couldn't quite bear it and quickly waved his hand:

"Since it's decided, go implement it quickly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although she still wanted to stay with Arthur a little longer, under Arthur's command, France immediately left with a hundred Earth Element Masters.

Arthur finally had some free time!

With nothing to do, he could only go find Karona, Olivia, and the others... A few days passed.

These few days were peaceful, except that due to Arthur's preparations to wage war on the Orc Royal Court, armies began to continuously move north.

Arthur had wanted to solve the orc problem and unify the Doreen Peninsula for a long time; even the navy was established for this reason. Now it was time to put an end to it.

In fact, the outcome of the war could easily be decided by the Lionheart Kingdom's current high-end combat power.

Just send two Legendary figures.

But Arthur also wanted to occupy the north, so things were not that simple. Many troops would not return after reaching the north; they needed to be stationed there for construction.

In addition, many miscellaneous tasks required soldiers to handle, such as capturing the remaining orcs to send them to the mainland, and plundering scattered valuables.

Just as all preparations were complete, and even Dragon Joao was dispatched by Arthur to the northern front.

An unexpected visitor surprised Arthur.

"You said the Orc Legendary Gajulas has come to the Royal Capital and requested to see me!"

Arthur looked at France, who was reporting to him, with a surprised expression.

If anyone else had said it, Arthur wouldn't have believed such an absurd piece of news, but France was summoned by him and wouldn't lie to him.

So it was true!

With many thoughts in his mind, Arthur finally agreed to Gajulas's request.

"In that case, bring him over. I want to see why Gajulas has come at this time!"

Someone had agreed, but the cautious Arthur, while France went to call Gajulas.

Called over the other two Legendary figures who were still openly in the Royal Palace, Elwin and Melita.

When France brought Gajulas to the main hall, this was the scene he saw.

Arthur sat in the center of the main hall, and the two Legendary figures of the Lionheart Kingdom, Elwin and Melita, sat to Arthur's lower left.

They looked ready for battle.

Gajulas was not surprised by this scene; after all, according to normal developments, the two countries would definitely break out in a major war, and it was normal for them to be unfriendly towards him.

On the other side, Arthur was also quietly observing Gajulas: a tiger head on a human body, nearly three meters tall. He seemed to be a Tiger-headed Human!

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought!"

"Hmm, thank you for your trouble!

Legendary Gajulas must be here to discuss state affairs. France, as Chancellor, please take a seat on the left!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Only then, sensing the time was right, did Gajulas pound his chest with his right hand, performing a human courtesy!

"King Arthur, Legendary Elwin, Legendary Melita, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time!"

After Arthur and the others nodded in response, Gajulas continued:

"I presume you all know who I am, so I won't introduce myself further!

My purpose in coming here is only one: I hope you will stop the war against the Orc Royal Court. Our side is willing to pay any price!"

Speaking of which, Gajulas's visit to the Lionheart Royal Capital was also out of necessity.

In the past week, the Lionheart Kingdom's troop movements were obvious to anyone with eyes, and the Orc Royal Court, which had always paid attention to the Lionheart Kingdom, was naturally no exception.

They knew that the Lionheart Kingdom intended to launch a war.

In the past, facing the Kate Kingdom, the Lionheart Royal Court would naturally not be afraid.

But now they were facing the Lionheart Kingdom, a powerful nation that could be annihilated by Water Element Dragon Joao alone. Naturally, there was no talk of fighting back.

On the other hand, the fact that Gajulas could establish a nation in such a remote place as the Doreen Peninsula also indicated that he had no significant background, so even if he wanted to ask for foreign aid at this time, he couldn't get any.

Gajulas realized that if things continued this way, not only he but the entire Orc Royal Court would be annihilated, which was unacceptable to him.

Of course, there was another option, which was to flee.

Gajulas could certainly flee, and even take some people with him, but how many could he take? A few hundred or a few thousand? It would be useless.

If Gajulas were heartless and unrighteous, he might have fled with a few people himself, but he couldn't abandon the Orc Royal Court that he had personally established.

So Gajulas came to the Lionheart Royal Capital to visit Arthur, an almost suicidal act, but it was also out of necessity, or rather, the only option to preserve the Royal Court.

On the other side, Arthur's only response to Gajulas's words was:

"Are you sure it's any price, including your own life?"

Hearing this, Gajulas knew that Arthur had no intention of negotiating with him!

After all, if there was an intention, why would he demand his life right away?

With a glimmer of hope, he slowly scanned the expressions of Melita and others, finding that they all had no objection to Arthur's words.

Seeing this, Gajulas's heart sank, knowing that the situation was not optimistic.

He forced a smile on his face:

"Your Majesty is joking. Without me, the Orc Royal Court would not be able to survive on the continent!

Can Your Majesty change the condition?"

To this, Arthur replied with slight impatience:

"In my plan, the Orc Royal Court will be wiped out in the next few days, and the Lionheart Kingdom will rule the entire Doreen Peninsula.

At that time, everything of your Orc Royal Court, whether it be wealth, land, or population, will all be controlled by the Lionheart Kingdom.

Tell me, what condition could you offer that is better than this?"

Hearing these words, Gajulas was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Arthur's determination to wage war to be so strong. His face turned pale, and he couldn't help but ask himself:

"Yes! What condition could he offer that is better than this?"

Thus, Gajulas stood there silently for a long time!

Arthur did not disturb him.

Because Arthur didn't have many things to do every day now, besides soaking in dragon blood, reading books, and spending time with Karona and the others, he just decided on some strategic directions.

He was relatively idle, so he was willing to give Gajulas some time.
