The nobles of the Almani Federation were not injured, but they experienced death. They felt that some vital part of their bodies had been severely damaged - cut, pierced, and cut into pieces! Even though Hestein had put away his sword, even though they had found that their bodies were intact, the feelings of pain and fear still filled their brains, hearts, muscles, and bone marrow, which could not be dissipated for a long time. Their hands and feet were trembling in the strong fear, and they could not even get up.

"What's wrong? I can't stand up before my sword touches you?" Hestein looked at the fallen nobles of Almani with mocking mocking, "How can such nobles protect the territory of Almani? It seems that the Almani Federation is not far from the demise of the country."

There was no rebuttal. The nobles of the Almani Federal who were still immersed in the fear of death had no spare time to have the idea of ​​rebuttal.

"It seems that you are neither friends of the Kingdom of Heroes nor opponents worthy of the Kingdom of Heroes. You are only suitable as hostages in our hands." Hestein said, "But I will give the King of Sweden another face and give you a second chance to show your value. Pack up your weapons and luggage, and follow me to fight against a group of bold pirates tomorrow. You have no right to refuse - unless you really want to be raised by me as pigs."

After saying that, Hestein turned around and was about to leave.

Eber finally made a voice from struggle and pain: "You can't treat us like this...we... are just students who come to learn."

"It's good to learn how our Hero Kingdom fights, right?" Hestein said, "After all, if the Allmany Federation is unwilling to stand on our side, it will soon become my next target of attack."

——"Hestein! What did you do to Amy!"

Ella blocked the stairs aggressively and stopped Hestein, who was about to walk down the wall.

"What did you do? Didn't you do anything?" Hestein replied lightly, "As you can see, I did not attack with magic, nor pointed my weapon at her, but just waved a sword below."

"She is now in pain and slumping on the wardrobe!"

"I didn't ask her to see me and swing my sword. She wasn't hurt either, right? It's okay if you rest for a while. Next time, let her have a better memory and close her eyes in time."

Hestein pushed Ella away and walked forward. But Ella took a few steps quickly and blocked Hestein again angrily. Looking at Ella's appearance, Hestein had to stop and asked helplessly: "What's wrong? Scipio? Are you dissatisfied with my handling today?"

"How could you be satisfied! What are you here for today? Are you really here to attract allies?"

"What about that?"

"Terror first, then beat him. Is there any way you can pull allies?"

"I duel with Ragna, and then I joined him. Bjorn and I duel, and then I became his lord." Hestein said lightly, "Sepia, demonstrating force is an important part of diplomacy. Only by letting the other party clearly understand the gap in force between the two sides can the other party be afraid and obedient. Fear will not take hostile actions against us; obedience will make things develop in the direction we expect."

"It's completely pirate logic! Obeying will resist at some point; fear will push the other side towards our enemies and to the Tianfang Empire!"

"What do you think you should do?"

"Of course, it is to use more moderate diplomatic means..."

"A gang of pirates robbed my cargo ship. It was filled with gold my merchants earned from Aztland. The amount was large enough to form a fully armed army of ten thousand people from scratch. Can you get the money back with gentle diplomacy?"

A sudden change in topic surprised Ella: "What's the relationship between this... what's the relationship between the two?"

"Don't you find it strange? Pirates! We are the kingdom of pirates, and I am the supreme king of pirates! There will be pirates robbing my goods? If it weren't for other forces supporting me, this wouldn't have happened!"

Speaking of this, a sharp light shot out from Hestein's eyes.

"I have found out that behind this group of pirates is the Duke of Normandy of the Almany Federation. Attacking the strongholds of these pirates is just a demonstration, giving the Almany Federation a chance to buffer. If the Almany Federation is unwilling to return the gold and hand over the Duke of Normandy, the Kingdom of Heroes and the Almany Federation will immediately go to war. I have already greeted the Knights of Britain. Once we send troops, his army will follow. Do you understand? It is the eve of the war now!"

"On the eve of the war?! Hestein, the Almani Federation is a loose federation! The political tendencies of each lord are different! You can't take action against other lords friendly to us just because the Duke of Normandy supports pirates, right?"

"Too for tooth, eye for eye for eye, this is the tradition of the heroic kingdom. If you don't accept it, then Scipio, would you try to solve it with the 'diplomacy means' you said? Before I attack the Almani Federation?"

Hestein looked at Ella coldly and said.

"Return the gold, give compensation, and execute the relevant responsible persons. If your 'diplomacy' can do these three things, I will stop hostile to the Almany Federation and assist you in the diplomatic work with the Almany Federation. If you can't do it, please shut up honestly and not block my way."

"Then you have to give me time too! I have never seen the face of the Duke of Normandy now!" Ella shouted, "How could such an important negotiation be negotiated within a year or two!"

"A year and a half? Do you have so much time now? I heard from you that in the past two years, the Tianfang Empire may take major military actions at any time. Do you plan to take more than a year to deal with the incident caused by a small Duke of Normandy?"

Ella was shocked by Hestein's words. She took a long breath and calmed herself down.

"You're right, Hestein. So, how much time do you give me?"
