219 Chapter 221
“Welcome, the lackeys of mage academy.”
The voice of the Aston King on the throne was as loud as the clock of an ancient temple.
He looked at Andrew with his sharp eyes. Every cell in his body seemed to be interpreting the word arrogance.
“Well, I’d like to hear what kind of conditions you have brought.”
Andrew stepped forward and started to negotiate with Rowling according to the conditions provided by the student union.
“Dear Aston King, nice to meet you. I’m here to officially negotiate with you according to the student union of the Law School belonging to the magic association.”
“Our request is very simple. We hope that the Iron Pagoda empire under your leadership can stop being hostile to the magic association.”
“The purpose of the magic association was that all the countries in the world could work together to explore the abyss of the devils under the leadership of the magic association.”
“Your current tough foreign attitude and high hostility to foreign countries have seriously hurt the relationship between the magic association and other countries.”
“Please think twice and stop this meaningless war and toughness. If you have anything, you can discuss it with the magic association and other countries equally.”
Andrew said in a sonorous voice.
Of course, this line was not what he thought, but a statement specially provided by Rowling and the student union.
Generally speaking, it was a formal speech.
On the throne, Aston closed his eyes and yawned in boredom.
It was not until Andrew finished his words that he opened his eyes again and said in a condescending tone, “You’re right. The so-called world is united and made progress together. There is no dispute. We work together. I all agree.”
“But I have one thing to ask you.”.
Andrew said, “Please go ahead.”
Aston smiled slightly and said, “Since we want the world to be united, we should work together.”
Then why did we have to be led by the magic association instead of the Iron Pagoda Empire?”
Andrew frowned and couldn’t answer.
Because the speech did not contain such an answer.
Aston continued, “The magic association is cheating the world.”
“You can do whatever you want to other countries just because you have absolute power. It’s none of my business.”
“However, if you wanted to force me to surrender in the same way, I could only say, “Nonsense!”
Andrew said, “If you are willing to declare a truce and put down a meaningless tough posture, the magic association can promise to build a mage academy in your territory, which is as well-educated as the four major schools.”
“The association will pay the necessary funds and materials, and the school will pay a high fee to you.”
“At the same time, the magic association will provide a large number of precious materials and props for you to enhance your national strength.”
“Please think twice.”
“The price is that the magic association can infiltrate every corner of my territory and gradually isolate me, right?”
Aston King seemed to have lost his patience.
He straightened up and said indifferently, “I don’t think it’s necessary to say such boring official words. Andrew, how about talking to me in your attitude?”
Andrew was stunned and shook his head helplessly. Then he took a step forward and said, “Since you said so, I’d rather accept it than be respectful.”
“Aston King, let me tell you frankly if the magic association is serious, it can destroy your Iron Pagoda Empire at any time. So you’d better be obedient.”
“As an emperor, wouldn’t it be good for you to live a peaceful life?”
Hearing this, Logan and Bingo burst into laughter.
Even Aston King stood there, laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
Andrew was confused by their smile.
After a long time, the three of them finally managed to stop laughing.
Next to him, Bingo stepped forward and said, “Puppy, did your master teach you this?”
“It’s a funny thing that you can destroy the Iron Pagoda Empire at any time.”
Aston King laughed as if he was going to collapse. He sat back on the throne and said, “You little dog, isn’t it a little inappropriate for the magic association to threaten us?”
“What do you mean?” Andrew asked.
Logan stepped forward and said, “According to our statistics, there are a total of 1,660,000 members of the magic association. What about our Iron Pagoda Empire?”
“The number of mages might not be as many as it was. There were only over 800,000. There were more than one million cavalry and more than 80 million troops in total.”
“When necessary, we can also use the war plan. The total combat effectiveness of all the people is more than 200 million.”
“You can’t win us at all. “
Logan added confidently, “Our country has already set up four state-owned mage schools. It won’t be long before the first group of students will graduate.”
“At that time, we can continuously send mages to our country. The advantage of mages, who the magic association is proud of, will also disappear.”
“Yes.”
“With the help of tutor mages, the Iron Pagoda Empire will soon surpass the magic association and become the number one in the world.”
“No, father!”
Finally, Signa couldn’t help but step forward and said, “The quality of mages is the competition, not the quantity.”
“Moreover, the requirement for the members of the magic association was to reach the holy mage or above. From this point of view, 1,660,000 mages were not something that could be shaken by the number.”
“Shut up!”
Aston snapped and changed his attitude quickly. “As my daughter, you try to persuade me to surrender from the perspective of the magic association. I haven’t gotten even with you yet.”
“Now you dare to call the Iron Pagoda Empire, your motherland!”
“Signa! You’re depraved!”
“No, father.”
“The magic association is ready to fight. If you don’t surrender, the Iron Pagoda Empire will die.”
“Please think twice for the sake of your people,” Signa said.
Aston looked at his daughter with disappointment.
Hearing this, Andrew roughly understood what was going on.
‘I have 200 million soldiers, a lot of mages, and some cavalry, but your magic association only has 1,660,000 mages.’
‘Even if you have a high level of mages and our number is 100 times more than yours, there is no reason for me to lose.’
‘Even if I lose, you will suffer a serious loss.’
Yes, it made sense.
But only those who knew mages knew it.
This logic didn’t make sense.
The number of mages was not equal.
Otherwise, each country could just count the number of mages in the country, and add up the magic power of each mage. It would be easier to measure the national strength with the total magic power?
Aston King patted the armrest and said coldly, “The magic association has come to persuade me more than once. Why?”
“Because they were afraid of the power of the Iron Pagoda Empire.”
“Otherwise, why should you persuade me to surrender instead of fighting me directly?”
His words rendered Signa speechless.
She knew her father was wrong, but she was too stupid to retort.
Aston continued, “Signa, my daughter if you turn back now and return to the side of me, just like your brother Logan, you will wholeheartedly assist me and become the power of me.”
“Maybe I can let go of your behavior of defecting to this boy.”
“Don’t let me down again.”
His words made Signa tremble.
She and Jessica had been abandoned by Aston abroad since childhood because of their poor talent.
It was not easy for her to be admitted to the four major schools through hard work, but Jessica became the woman of the Isco.
With Andrew’s help, Signa entered the Law School.
However, the number of magic power, which was only 720, could not stand out in a place like the Law School as a grade two student?
Indeed, Signa had also thought about quitting her identity as a Law School student and returning to the Iron Pagoda Empire.
But…
“Oh, I see.”
At this moment, Andrew suddenly stepped forward and said, “Aston King is an idiot.”
“Kaleb died a good death.”
“With such a father, the upper limit of his intelligence was naturally limited.”
Hearing this, Bingo, Logan, and Aston all cast furious eyes.
Andrew sneered, “How? Are you not convinced? Then I want to ask you a question. Since you are so confident, why don’t you send mages to recover the Iron Mysterious Door land?”
His words seemed to have hit a soft spot, and the faces of the three changed drastically.
