The Human Emperor Chapter 1164: Anger of Caliph!
Chapter One hundred and sixty-four
Boom! The Caliphate aristocratic voice just fell, and suddenly a golden boot protruded from the throne. In the awe of everyone's eyes, Moutassem III suddenly stood up from his seat. At that moment, it was shaking and the whole seat was magnificent. Baghdad City seems to be unable to withstand this force, and violent shocks.
"I will never be threatened by anyone! Even if all the cities of the East are destroyed and all the people are slaughtered, I will never be blackmailed by a lunatic in the East! Let him do it for one billion!朕 Even if he pays half of the city, he will have to smash him by himself! "
Moutassem III is irritated. His eyes are like thunder and lightning. He emits a horrifying light. In the face of the anger of Caliph, everyone trembles and no one dares to speak.
In Caliphate Empire, Caliph said the same thing. Once he made a decision, no one could stop it, and he dared not defy it.
"If I am Your Majesty, I will send out one billion taels of gold now!"
Just as the atmosphere dropped to the freezing point, a sound suddenly, hoarse and mysterious came from outside the hall and sounded inside the hall. Hearing this voice, everyone is covered with severe shake.
Caliph said no one, but no one expected that someone would be angry at this time.
However, the next moment, when everyone was horrified by the other's boldness, buzzed, the light flashed, and a slanting shadow suddenly projected from outside the hall.
It's just at the entrance of the main hall. I don't know when, there will be a tall figure all over the black robe. On the black robe, the mysterious rune was embroidered with gold.
"Large, High Priest !!!"
Seeing that figure, a big nobleman of Caliphate Empire was shocked and his eyes widened sharply. No one thought that this mysterious man who dared to collide with Caliph at this time was actually the most mysterious Empire High Priest in control of the divine power.
This is definitely the most surprising guest of Imperial Palace.
As the legendary existence of the entire Empire existence for hundreds of years, although few people have actually seen High Priest, everyone recognizes the special Sun God robe and the knotted black Temple scepter.
High Priest A skinny palm, like a bird's claw, sticks out of the cuff, grasps the authority of the black scepter, and the rolling black mist constantly grows from his sleeve.
His long hat hangs down, completely covering his face. I just stood there quietly, but there were so many governors, generals, and Aristocratic Family nobles in the hall, and no one could feel the depth of his cultivation base.
Although he really appeared in front of everyone, in everyone's perception, nothing but Talas, just like the knotted black scepter, seemed like nothing.
"wēng!"
Only a moment, the High Priest robe wobbled, and immediately in the eyes of everyone, crossed the threshold and walked in.
"High Priest, why are you here!"
Unexpectedly, it was also furious, and immediately went crazy Caliphate Caliph, Moutassem III, like a broken ball in an instant, all the anger disappeared completely, not only did not get angry, but surprised , Boom Boom, the excited hall quickly walked down and personally went to meet.
Caliph's attitude towards High Priest, the whole Caliphate is well known. But until this moment, everyone felt how much His Majesty valued him!
"Talas was defeated, Qutayba was killed, Eastern Tang People soldiers came to Khorasan and deterred Baghdad. How could I not come to such a big thing?"
High Priest indifferently said, slowly moving forward while talking. When he walked, the air seemed to turn into water waves, and the circles of transparent ripples visible to the naked eye spread from his feet to the surroundings, as if walking in water.
More than that, when High Priest walked forward, even his figure became faint, transparent water waves, as if passing by the crowd was not a real person, but a faint water wave. general.
Wow!
In an instant, everyone retreated to both sides, and even the governors bowed their heads involuntarily to make their debut.
—— The governor ’s cultivation base also has high and low. With their ability, even Aura, which High Priest breathes, can't feel it, only feeling a thick darkness, it seems to devour everything, it is frightening. Fearing.
Only for a moment, High Priest stopped in front of Caliph. There was no salutation and no respect for the courtiers, giving people a feeling of transcendence to the rights of Empire.
—— In a way, this is an offense, offensive to Caliph!
But if you look at the meaning of Caliph, you don't care at all. Instead, Caliph looks more respectful of High Priest.
"High Priest! You are here just right, there are so many military force(s), so many generals, don't tell me will still be beaten by a teenager in the East? Caliphate survives in war, there are no survivors, 朕There is still half of the land and millions of elites. Will don't tell me succumb to this eastern Tang People? "
Caliph strode to High Priest and said.
"A billion taels of gold only! Is your Majesty don't tell me short of this money?"
High Priest didn't answer, but asked another thing.
"This ..., although there are billions and billions, the savings of Empire for hundreds of years can still be obtained."
Caliph raised his head slightly, his eyes narrowed, and his face arrogant.
One billion taels of gold is a huge astronomical number for many dynasties, kingdoms, and even those big Empire. Wang Chong requested Royal Court to support Talas's War, and the ministry only gave 20 million taels of gold. At the time Royal Court already felt a lot. And one billion taels of gold, this number is fifty times the finances figure of Talas's War that Wang Chong originally launched, which is enough to buy several cities.
But for Caliphate Empire, this is not an unbearable number.
—— This is the advantage of being a predator, every time you defeat a country! In this respect, Great Tang, which is bound by etiquette, cannot be compared with it. However, with the power of only one country, the wealth created can be compared with Caliphate, which is also something that only Central Plains can do.
"I can take one billion taels of gold, but ask me to accept the conditions of these Oriental people, to yield to them, absolutely can not do it!"
Caliph has a sharp eye and a sharp cut.
This already is not a matter of money or money. Accepting the conditions of Tang People means giving in, insulting. As Supreme Commander of Empire, this is absolutely unbearable for Caliph.
"It's just a billion taels of gold, how can you yield, and your don't tell me is ready to fall without a fight?"
High Priest indifferently said, with a calm expression, dare to speak like this in front of the supreme Empire Caliph, and it still looks like it is overriding the imperial power, but Caliph does not blame it, I am afraid that this can only be achieved by High Priest
"How is this possible?"
Caliph was for a while, and then vetoed it without thinking:
"I still have a large number of troops, southern theater, western theater, and other theaters, all of which can be dispatched. It's just District II hundred thousand Great Army. Wait until Your Great Army assembles, waiting for them will be a dead end! "
Caliph clenched his fists tightly, his voice was killing qi. Caliphate is the country of battle, he is also the king of battle, which is why he is so angry. The Oriental Great Tang was called Wang Chong's Commander-in-Chief, and actually sent a letter to yell at them. They did not reply within three days, compensated one billion taels of gold, and immediately continued to move east to occupy more cities. This has always been known for being tough and deeply influence. For all generals' Moutassem III, it is simply a blatant provocation and shame.
This is why Caliph is so angry.
Although Qutayba and Ali Bakar were killed in battle, they only damaged the top two teams. The entire Caliphate still has a large number of top combat capabilities.
"That's it. Now that your Majesty still has a large number of troops and is preparing for a larger war, how can it be counted as surrender? With His Majesty's ability, gold and silver should not be placed at all. In the eyes, one billion taels of gold is only used to appease these Tang Peoples. It is said that the Great Tang is known for its kindness. They will honor the promise when they receive the money. His Majesty only needs to temporarily appease them and wait until Great Army arrives. Keep the city west of Tigris River from their attack, and can also break through Khorasan, destroying Tang People and the rebels in one fell swoop. And you can also retrieve those golds at the same time.
The lips of High Priest move, and the husky and deep voice reminds everyone's ears:
"One billion taels of gold is not a small number. Even if they are fast, they will not be able to run too far. When they break Khorasan, His Majesty sends Heavy Cavalry to chase. It can still be recovered. Moreover, His Majesty has not been looking for those conquering countries all these years Survivors and insurgents, but have n’t gained anything? "
"Just use these Tang Peoples to attract all the insurgents. Isn't it enough to do more than just kill them all?"
"wēng!"
Hearing this sentence, Caliph looked shocked and looked up abruptly. He was furious with the compensation of one billion taels of gold, and eagerly, never thought of anything else. Yes, the remnant and the insurgents of various dynasties have always been Caliphate's heart disease. For more than ten years, the entire Empire does not know how much energy has been spent in pursuit of these rebellious trails.
Behemoth Legion, Mamlik Legion, Zhendan Legion, and even Caliphate War God, such as Qutayba, were sent out by the Moutassem III to encircle the uprising. But each time these insurgents and dynasty remnant looked like gophers, Great Army came, they hid and couldn't shrink. Great Army had just left, they all came out again, chaos everywhere.
Without calming down these rebellions, Empire will never be able to calm down and truly control these areas.
