One sentence was like a thunderbolt hitting these people's brains directly. This group of people seemed to have entered Tongliao's designated dragon field to gain enlightenment. They instantly understood what Zhou Li meant.
Let Zhou Li establish the country.
"You see, Twilight Forest was originally the territory you wanted to give me."
Zhou Li leaned on the podium and said with a chuckle: "If I help you resist the Twelve Hours as a Duke, then I am the only one fighting against the twelve religions. But if I, as the leader of a neutral country, resist the Twelve Hours , then the twelve moments must first pass the rules they set themselves."
"You yourselves know in your hearts that there are only those livable places in Dusk Forest. Even if I build a country, it will only be a small country. To put it bluntly, once I die or die in a disaster, then the country I established will be able to sustain How long? Can it be longer than Gula?"
"So, does my proposal of founding a country have some rationality?"
With a teasing tone, Zhou Li asked these congressmen who cared about Magnum a fatal question.
Yes, is it too much to ask him to build a weak country?
These people, driven mad by despair, finally couldn't resist the temptation and reached out to grab the barbed vines.
If at the beginning, Zhou Li had not canceled the Duke's award, but had made this suggestion as he did now, the answers from this group of Magnums would have been surprisingly unanimous.
Magnum will not allow other countries to appear in its territory.
But now, this group of congressmen, who have been pressed by Zhou Li step by step and are just one step away from despair, can no longer think about that. Now, there is only the all-pervasive black fog in their minds, and the whispers that are constantly eroding their souls. They couldn't stop themselves from thinking about their huge investment in the war, and they couldn't think about the negative impact Zhou Li's founding would have.
The current group of lunatics only know one thing - Zhou Li founded the country, the war started, and we collected money.
"Yes, we must unite as one."
The man who had used the law to remind the members to resist suddenly stood up and shouted impassionedly to the members: "We must unite as one!"
"Our group of people, plus the energy of the brave man, will definitely make the king agree to let the brave man build the city!"
"But, that is Magnum III, he is the emperor." The woman on the side frowned, and her long-preserved reason allowed her to speak: "Are we... going to go against his will?"
"Don't you fucking understand yet??!"
This man who was always gentle and polite suddenly slammed the table and roared angrily:
"We have no way out! The people sitting here now have devoted their lives to this war. Which of the colleagues present is not blocking everything, just to advance to another level?"
He panted heavily, not hiding his sinister eyes like a wild wolf, "Now, once the war cannot proceed, Magnum will not give us a way to survive! We have always used parliament to divide his rights. Guess, if half of our net worth is gone, will he compensate us, or will he directly erode everything we have? Don't you know?"
Clear, very clear.
Everyone present knew that Magnum III was both one and the same as himself. They need to support each other, but once each other's flaws are exposed, the hands supporting each other will definitely clenched the dagger and stabbed them fiercely. They once stabbed Magnum II to establish the House of Commons when he was weak, so Magnum III would definitely not mind stabbing him at this time to happily send away the group of MPs who divided his power.
"Yes...he's right."
The middle-aged man lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "We have no retreat. The brave man must build a country."
There was suddenly no sound in the main hall. The group of people frowned, with very contradictory expressions on their faces, as if they were fighting with themselves. After a long time, a man raised his hand and said to Zhou Li:
"Please be brave enough to build a country, and we will give you our fullest help."
"Oh?" Zhou Li raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Are you begging me?"
"Yes." The man replied very readily: "We ask you to save us, and we also ask you to build a country."
"Uh-huh." Zhou Li shrugged, and then asked very casually: "Do you all agree? I am personally more democratic. If everyone doesn't want to, I can turn around and leave now."
"I agree with the founding of the country, Lord Brave."
The middle-aged man immediately raised his hand, and one after another, other people began to raise their hands and made their voices heard.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"If Magnum III doesn't give us a way to survive, we have to fight for a way to survive on our own! I agree!"
When the last person voted in agreement, Zhou Li smiled in front of the enthusiastic and dizzy congressmen. Then he arranged his clothes, turned around, and walked towards the door.
"Agreed, come with me, let's go talk to Magnum III."
Zhou Li's voice was very calm, with no ups and downs or passionate emotions, only the truth that hit this group of people most directly.
"I build the country and you live it. I hope you can understand."
*************************************
The people of Magnum saw a scene that had never been seen in a century today.
Zhou Li's rejection of the Sword of Pioneering Legion has not yet spread, and people don't know. They only saw Zhou Li and Eluma, escorted by thirteen knights, walking into the parliament hall. After a while, he walked out with the same calm attitude.
But the difference this time was that Zhou Li was followed by sixty-one people. This group of people are well-dressed, upright and have very decent etiquette. They followed Zhou Li and saluted the crowd.
After a while, the Magnum crowd finally saw the identities of these sixty-one people. When a scholar discovered the beautiful woman behind Zhou Li, she was Christine Elsa, known as Lady Rose.
"A congressman?!"
Doubts and doubts spread among the crowd. According to imperial law, after the duke investiture ceremony has been approved by the parliament, he needs to go to the palace to receive the emperor's commendation and decoration. According to common sense, these members should not follow and can only stay in the parliament to wait for the ceremony to end. However, what they saw now was Zhou Li and Eluma walking towards the palace with sixty-one members.
What is this going to do? Dinner?
People didn't understand, and they just watched the group of people walking towards the palace in confusion. But at this time, Azi, Linghai, the Ivey brothers and sisters, and Don Quixote who were mixed in the crowd seemed to notice something. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
"No, he really did it."
Ah Zi stared at Zhou Li's back, her pupils shaking. Don Quixote on the side pursed his dry lips and wanted to say something. He opened his mouth, but there was no sound.
They all knew what Azi was talking about. Of course they will never forget the seemingly impossible words Zhou Li once said.
"I want this group of people to beg me for the founding of the country."
