It is precisely because the goal will never be achieved one day that the inferiority complex arises spontaneously.

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

The princes who tried to compete for the throne were all called the best hypocrites, and the two of them, who were still relatives of the elder brother and brother a minute ago, had just given the order to spy on each other, which may be the purest explanation for the 'most ruthless imperial family'.

It's just that the other two princes' spies lurking outside Prince Philip's mansion were really all wiped out by the black-clothed guards under Prince Philip's command? The answer is naturally no, there is no shortage of spies from other princes in Prince Philip's mansion.

At about the same time that Prince Philip and Prince William were having a secret conversation, the Eighth Prince Prologis and the Fourth Prince Harry were also sitting in the same secret room, a secret room in the mansion of an Empire earl, who was not loyal to any of them.

Prince Harry, who was invited by Prince Pross, walked into the secret room under the personal guidance of the Earl, and shook his head and smiled bitterly at Pros, who was drinking tea: "Little Eight, your secret flag is really cleverly arranged; ”

"Fourth brother, Count Yadunis is the famous 'Iron Ore Count' in the Empire, where does the younger brother have the ability to make His Excellency the Earl show his loyalty, it's just that the younger brother's ally Bai Feng happened to rescue the eldest son of His Excellency the Earl, which allowed the younger brother to borrow the secret room smoothly. ”

"Really?" Prince Harry, with an exaggerated expression, deliberately pretended to be surprised, and asked Count Yadonis, "Your Excellency, as far as I know, shouldn't your eldest son be operating in the southern part of the empire?

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, my eldest son, Steve, was once canonized as an Imperial Baron by His Majesty the Emperor, and served as the captain of the city defense army in the southern province of Alberta; ”

In the face of Count Yadonis's frank answer, Prince Harry, who had recently lost a lot of strength, suddenly turned ugly, and his tone became stiff: "The eldest son of His Excellency the Earl is lucky, and he happened to meet the great hero of the empire. ”

"Luck is important, but ability is also essential!" Seeing that his fourth brother was deliberately embarrassing Count Yadunis, Prince Pros hurriedly changed the topic with a smile: "Now Steve, that's a wing captain of the Feather Forest Legion!"

Earl Adonis, who was still a little dissatisfied, heard the beautiful words of Prince Pross, and said goodbye to the two princes with a smile and left the secret room.

"Xiaoba, you first got more than 200,000 troops from the military in the east of the empire, and then you got Count Yadunis who controlled the iron mines of the empire in the imperial capital; ”

GLP, who was shocked in his heart, still looked like nothing had happened on the surface, and he was still answering the question: "Fourth brother, four of my purple-clothed guards were killed outside the fifth brother's mansion tonight, I don't know if any of your silver-clothed guards were killed, fourth brother?"

"Hmph, your fourth brother and my forces have almost all been destroyed by the grassland barbarians, and your fifth brother, who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, is naturally impossible to form any alliance with me; ”

"Whether it is an unexpected betrayal or a reasonable betrayal, the betrayal of an ally is always so unacceptable, especially if this ally, or his own brother, this betrayal is simply the most unacceptable of all betrayals. ”

"Hmph!" Prince Harry, who was pale, suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes glowed red, and he roared like a wounded beast: "If this is the purpose of your call for me tonight, then our negotiations are over!"

"Fourth brother, never let anger blind you, Fifth Brother's choice is indeed wise, but not necessarily correct, since he has formed a new alliance with the eldest brother, should we also form an alliance to deal with them?"

"Let's form an alliance?" Prince Harry, who looked disdainful, refused bluntly: "Even if I have lost the qualification to compete, I will not be your vassal;

"Fourth brother, the alliance between us will be an equal alliance, and you will never become my vassal, I can guarantee you this, even if I do become the victor in the future, you will become the second only existence in this empire to me. ”

"Hachi, do you think I'll believe your nonsense?" Prince Harry, whose eyes were slightly condensed, stood up directly the next moment and walked towards the door of the secret room.

"Fourth brother, this is the last chance you can choose for yourself, once you get out of this secret room, there will be no possibility of an alliance between you and my brother, I hope you can think about it more. ”

"Hachi, I thank you for your good intentions, but I have my pride, and I hope you will not show mercy in the future. Faced with the retention of his eighth brother, the stubborn and arrogant fourth prince strode out of the secret room without looking back.

Looking at Prince Harry's distant back, Prince Pros sat motionless in his seat, until Count Adonis returned to the chamber again, and he smiled and asked Count Adonis:

"Yadonis, I intend to build a military fortress for the Blue Bird Swordsmen in Perpignan Province that is the same as the base of the Wind Thieves, how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources do you think it will take to build it?"

"Your Highness, I don't think you need to waste these resources at all to build a base for the Blue Bird Swordsmen in Perpignan Province; ”

"Yes, no matter how well the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment develops, it is impossible to surpass the current Wind Thieves Regiment, and compared to the more than 200,000 troops under Bai Feng's command, the Wind Thieves Regiment is vulnerable. Then tell me, how should we build the army under Bai Feng's command?"

Count Yadonis, who has been in the imperial political arena all his life, naturally would not make such an obvious ****, and he replied very humbly: "Your Highness, the minister is only good at taking care of the family's minerals, and he doesn't know anything about building an army, so he really doesn't know how to build it." ”

"Really?" Prince Pros, who is well aware of the mentality of Count Adonis, does not intend to expose the other party to his face;

"The weapons and equipment built by the Imperial War Department are not of good quality, and they have always been prioritized to supply the armies in the north of the Empire, so I think it is possible to build a weapons and equipment forging center in Perpignan Province to produce high-quality weapons and equipment, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, the Chen's family can provide this weapon forging center with the same amount of iron ore as the Imperial Military Department every year, and the minister also knows some aristocratic families who are proficient in weapon and equipment forging, and they are all willing to serve Your Highness. ”

"Since you all know these aristocratic families, I will leave the matter of building a weapon and equipment forging center to you, and I will give you three months, and after three months, I will see the first batch of finished weapons and equipment. ”

"No!" Count Adonis, who lowered his posture, immediately complied.
