Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: It Won’t Cost You Anything (4)
Gan Yuan settled into the chair that Huangfu Jue pulled out, and Huangfu Jue also took his seat. Once the two of them were seated, the others returned to their chairs.
“Before the eting starts, let announce so good news.” Gan Yuan smiled as she looked around. “General Yuri of the Blood Shark Legion has just arrived at the Royal Palace, and the navy is already on its way to the Northwest.”
The councillors present all showed expressions of surprise.
Being in the political arena of F Country, they were far more familiar with these legions than Gan Yuan, and of course, they were well aware of what kind of person Arthur was.
Previously, that General always found various excuses to delay and refused to deploy troops. Now, he’s so proactively coming to the Royal Palace to express his sincerity to Gan Yuan—surely sothing has happened.
Of course, no one asked further.
Because everyone knew the reason that so things should not be questioned.
The reason didn’t matter, nor did what actually happened. What was important was that the young Princess in front of them had strength far beyond what they had imagined!
“Alright, let’s begin the eting!” Gan Yuan raised her right hand. “This is the Northwest Region. Now we already have the air force and the army, and the navy is about to be in position. Next, it’s ti to reclaim the lost territories! What are your thoughts?”
“Now our military strength exceeds that of General Barton. As long as Her Highness gives the order, the Northwest will be ours. However…,” Senator John’s gaze swept over to Huangfu Jue, “at this mont, going to war is not a wise choice. War ans casualties, and ultimately, the people will be the ones most affected. Moreover, once a war begins, it ans massive consumption of resources. Therefore, I suggest negotiation!”
“Negotiate?” a young senator sitting across the table spoke indignantly, “Do we intend to actively compromise with Barton?”
“Exactly!” Another councillor chid in, “We have been weak for too long. This ti, we absolutely mustn’t be weak again. General Barton’s declaration of independence is treason; soone who has betrayed the country cannot be tolerated!”
Senator John remained silent.
“No, we will not compromise.” Gan Yuan tapped her fingers lightly on the table, “I don’t want this country and its people to be hard, so… I demand Barton’s surrender!”
If Barton is willing to voluntarily surrender, that would indeed be the best scenario.
But, would he?!
Surrendering would an giving up everything and becoming Gan Yuan’s captive.
Dolly took a deep breath, “From what I know of General Barton, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be willing.”
“It’s not a matter of his willingness.” Huangfu Jue squinted his blue eyes, his tone arrogant, “He will soon realize that it’s his only choice!”
“Do you an… war?” Senator John asked cautiously.
Huangfu Jue’s tone was calm, “If necessary, we cannot rule out that possibility.”
No one dared to oppose him; they just directed their gazes towards Gan Yuan.
“I’m not the one to initiate war, but I agree with Ajue’s observation. This ti with Barton, I will show no rcy. Otherwise, who knows, there might be another Barton tomorrow, and that’s sothing I absolutely cannot tolerate.” Gan Yuan pressed her hands against the table and stood up. Her gaze slowly swept over everyone present. When she spoke again, her voice was cold and severe, “I want Barton and everyone to know that there are only two paths before him now: either die in battle or surrender!”
