After the minister finished speaking, the whole place fell silent instantly.

Even the business alliance can't mediate, and their last hope is gone.

Lu En, who was sitting on the throne, also turned pale at this time.

Is Gray Iron City about to be destroyed in his hands?

He has only been in this position for a few months.

"How is that possible? Don't they accept our compensation?" Luen asked hurriedly.

No one below answered.

In fact, at this point, things are already obvious.

The Merchant Alliance must have known which force the undead belonged to.

Otherwise, it would not be said that the other party does not accept compensation.

Obviously the undead have the upper hand, so how can the other side end the war so easily?

Seeing that no one was speaking below, Lu En suppressed the anxiety in his heart and continued: "Is there any other solution? Countless soldiers die in this war every day, who can tell me how to end it.

"

There was still silence below.

The ministers who were active in the past and rushed to show their talents in front of Luen all became mute in an instant.

All of them looked nervous and their eyes were wandering.

Who else can do anything but find a way out for themselves in their hearts.

They don't want to be buried here with this city.

"Speak!" Luen roared angrily.

Everyone looked stunned.

A minister took a step forward and said tremblingly, "How about continuing the negotiations with the commander of the undead? They can set the conditions themselves. We must first keep the Gray Iron City."

As soon as this was said, many people loudly agreed.

If they don't like the conditions offered by their side, then let them have their own say.

Whatever you want, as long as they have it, just give it to them.

Hearing everyone's discussion, another minister on the side sneered and said, "Go and talk. I'll see how you can get in touch with the other party's commander during a battle."

Ah this…….

The ministers fell silent again.

Even if there is a secret passage out of Gray Iron City, no one can get close to the opponent's commander.

If you have this ability, you can directly assassinate him, so why negotiate?

"Is there any other way?" Runn continued to ask.

The minister who had just retorted took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, if we can't negotiate, why not give it a try? I heard that the Faceless Man's hut provides assassination missions..."

He did not continue, but everyone knew what he meant.

The Faceless Man's hut is needed and rejected by every city.

The need is to inquire about information, and the rejection is due to the fear that one's information will be leaked.

Many cities have begun to clear out the faceless men, and the same is true for Gray Iron City, but it seems that they have not been cleaned up yet.

Roen hesitated, "The faceless men in the city have been cleared."

"My lord, don't worry about this. I know a friend who can contact the Faceless Men. It depends on whether Your Majesty will consider it or not." The minister said very carefully, looking directly at the aloof Lu En.

Everyone felt that something was wrong with this minister.

This state, this tone.

The faceless person you can contact is you!

Lu En turned his eyes and snorted coldly, "Humph, the faceless men are the common enemy of all races, as hateful as the undead. There is no need to mention this matter again. I will never ask them for help."

Being scolded, the minister did not say anything and stepped back.

The rest of the people also said a few words each.

Basically, there are only a few tricks that I have tried over and over again, but there is no effective method.

The discussion was fruitless and the discussion ended after a short wait.

…

And after everyone left.

In the study room of the palace.

Lu En didn't wait long before he saw an attendant leading a minister come in from the back door.

"Your Majesty." The minister saluted.

Luen nodded and said softly: "Do you have a contact channel regarding the faceless men?"

The minister did not hide it, "Yes."

Runen took a deep breath and continued: "How much money is needed to assassinate the opponent's commander? All the money we have is used to purchase supplies, so there is not much left."

The minister smiled and said softly, "Your Majesty, a faceless person doesn't want money."

Lu En frowned, "You don't want money? What do you want?"

Now he can be sure that this minister is from the Faceless Man.

But now I can't touch him, and I still have to count on him to save Gray Iron City.

However, not asking for money is more serious than asking for money.

"The Faceless Men want your Majesty to join the Faceless Men and become one of them. Accordingly, the Faceless Men will help you solve the problem, assassinate the opponent's commander, and even investigate the person behind the scenes, and then kill him too," the minister said.

Calm and confident.

Roen felt a surge of anger instantly.

This was naked coercion, forcing him to join the Faceless Men.

After he became the Faceless Man, the entire Gray Iron City and the dwarves were in the hands of the Faceless Man.

Damn reptiles like the Faceless Men, they have such great ambitions.

Lu En was so angry that he was about to strike, but his hand fell again.

What can he do now?

If Gray Iron City is occupied by the undead, is it any better than joining the Faceless Men?

At least the Faceless Men can still talk about it. The undead will chase you and fight until you die.

There was silence for a long time.

As the sun sets, the luminous stones illuminate the room.

Luen said nothing, and the minister waited silently.

Two or three hours passed.

Luen finally sighed, like a deflated rubber ball, without the previous energy and energy.

His tone also showed exhaustion, "I can promise you, but our deal will only be established after killing the other party's commander."

The minister smiled, "Of course, Your Majesty, but before taking action, we can sign a contract first."

After saying that, he took out a scroll from his arms.

Roen's pupils shrank.

He was ready, the Faceless Man had calculated everything, but as a king, he became the most powerless person.

The content of the contract is very simple, that is, after killing the undead commander, Rune will become a member of the Faceless Men.

Runen picked up the pen and signed his name on it.

Once the contract is reached, it disappears instantly.

Lu En continued: "Okay, I hope you can see the results in these two days. You don't want to die in the city."

The minister nodded, "This is natural. The higher-ups will arrange manpower to solve this matter."

"Huh, that's best."

"Then, Your Majesty, please rest and I won't disturb you."

After the minister finished speaking, he exited the study directly.

Luen was left alone, sitting at the desk, looking out the window dully, with the sound of gunfire ringing in his ears.
