"Of course, the disadvantages are not only that" I sneered, "If a mere letter with a threatening tone can coerce Moonlight City, what will Yorkham City think, what will Ari City think, what will Dasai City think, and what will Vechborough think?" What continent's second-strongest country is just an empty name, any threat can make them tremble, is it possible to gather forces and attack casually, and Moonlight City can be completely captured? I think that by then, there will be no shortage of countries that will be able to think like this. ”

"Presumptuous!" Elder Prisla said solemnly, "As an elder of a foreign race, how can you look down on your country so much! ”

"Your own country?" I shook my head and said, "Why should I be loyal to a country that even my fiancée can't protect?" ”

"Don't forget your identity, you're an elder of the Moonlight City Alien Clan!" Elder Prisla righteously said, "As an elder, you must have the spirit of dedicating everything to your country!" ”

"If the country can protect me and protect my family in times of crisis, then even if I am allowed to go to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will be duty-bound, but if the country abandons me and my family in order to protect its own interests, why should I pay for it?" Shaking my head, I chuckled, "Also, please don't restrict me with the title of Elder of a Foreign Clan, because the person who gave me the title is not you, but the Empress, of course, if you think that I am not suitable for the position of Elder, you can appeal to the Empress and ask the Empress to strip me of my name." ”

"Two elders, please calm down," the Elven Empress said in a flat tone.

I shut up and looked at the Elven Empress, and saw that the Empress did not show any anger, presumably the argument I had with Elder Prisra just now was a political disagreement.

After a moment of silence, the Elven Empress said: "I probably understand the meaning of the elders, among them, Elder Prisla said it very well, she clearly pointed out a route for Moonlight City to obtain allies, and also explained that the shortcomings of Moonlight City are that there are no strong allies. ”

Elder Prisla's expression was indifferent, but there was always a smug look in his expression.

I was upset and wanted to interject, but when I saw that Elder Sonoda Mai, who shared my political views, still had a flat expression, I stopped my urge to speak and continued to listen to the Elven Empress's summary.

The Empress continued: "But, Elder Prisla, you have inadvertently made an omission, and that is that the allies we need are not obtained by pandering, but by the kind of allies who respect each other, treat each other with sincerity, and fellowship on an equal footing, and it is clear that Yorkham is not. ”

Elder Prisla lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty has taught you a lesson. ”

The Empress nodded, turned to Elder Sonoda Dance, and said, "Elder Sonoda Dance's speech is to the point, and the position of Moonlight City and York Hancheng is very well stated, Bai Yunying is not at fault, and there is nothing special, and she has stepped down as the president of the Silver Wing Guild, and her current identity is only settled in Moonlight City, Elder An Xiaoyi's fiancée, if you say it seriously, any issues related to Bai Yunying should be directly told to Elder An Xiaoyi, instead of threatening us with a piece of paper, As there is a saying of truth in the mainland, 'Moonlight City's strength ranks second among the five great powers', we don't provoke anyone, but we are also not afraid of anyone. ”

The empress spoke as the truth, and the entire side hall was silent, and no one had any objections

The empress's meaning is already clear: Bai Yunying is impossible to hand over, and the letter will be regarded as a document with a sense of challenge, even if a war is really launched in the future, this letter can put us on the side of justice.

I sneered, first forced Bai Yunying away, and then fell into the handle, really worried about the intelligence of the city lord of York City.

The Elven Empress summed up, and the meeting ended.

After the meeting, I hurried to the dungeon and started my day's mob farming trip.

When we got home in the evening, the elven queen was there, and we said hello to the empress, and the empress said that she was just coming to see her sister, and that she didn't have to be formal, just as usual.

While the proprietress and Florence were cooking, the Elven Empress suddenly gave me a look, and I understood, and followed her upstairs into the place where she had once worked.

As soon as he closed the door, he heard the elven queen sigh: "This time we are completely in trouble with York Han. ”

"Just because of one person?" I shrugged: "They're narrow-minded enough. ”

"It's not just because of Bai Yunying's problem," the empress said, "This letter from York Hancheng is to test our attitude towards him, I choose Elder Sonoda Mai and your side, and ignore York Hancheng, with the past style of the city lord of the country, he must have a grudge." ”

"The old style?" I wondered, "Didn't York City always practice seclusion, and how did you know the way their lord behaved?" ”

"Even if you close yourself off from the country, there are still some things that you can't hide if you want to," the empress said, "I don't need to know directly, I don't need much communication, I only need to rely on the intelligence of some of the informants mixed in to know everything." ”

I suddenly said, "It turns out that we also have informants in ambush." ”

"You should have known this for a long time," the empress said, "Not only us, but several other towns also have their own informants living in each other's towns, and obtaining information anytime and anywhere is a tacit matter for the city lords of the five major powers." ”

"That's right," I nodded, "Then the Empress, did you come to me just to tell me that we have one more hostile country?" ”

The empress smiled slightly: "Yes, it is true that there is more than this matter, but it has nothing to do with this matter, you know, the main reason for this matter is your fiancée, and what we did, on the one hand, is to protect the status of Moonlight City in the Zephyr Continent, on the other hand, it can be regarded as protecting your family's reunion, in the previous meeting, you said such a sentence 'When the crisis comes, the country protects you, so even if the sword is a mountain and a sea of fire, you are willing to do it for the country', am I right?" ”

"Uh...... That's right. ”

"That's good," the Empress smiled slyly like a fox, "I don't need you to go to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, you just need to help me pull an ally that is strong enough to fight against Yorkhan." ”

A country that can stand up to Yorkhan?

In terms of the strength of the five major powers, Dasai City and Eri City and York Han City must be on par, but I am not familiar with the city lord of Dasai City, and Ari City is in chaos now, and even if it is not chaotic, the city lord of Ari City does not bother to see me as an ordinary person, so the meaning of this is obvious, and the country that can confront York Hancheng is also the country where I can speak, and there is only Vicky Castle.
