58. Sortie

"Guys, what do you think?" A middle-aged man wearing a crown handed a letter to everyone present with a tired face.

The letter was on a large number of pages, at least more than 20 pages, but more than 10 pages of it were negligible because they were claims. The content of these more than ten pages will only make sense after the outcome of the compensation has been decided, otherwise the content of the paper is nothing more than nonsense.

What really matters is the detailed listing of the facts of the crimes committed in the principality.

Of course, for the Principality of Equiri, the so-called criminal facts are nonsense, and these so-called facts are merely a description of the cooperation between the Principality and other countries. Although these matters are extremely beneficial to the future development of the Principality of Ekriri, they do damage the rights and interests of the Void Principality, and it is understandable that the Void Principality is looking for trouble now.

After all, no one would have thought at that time that the secret alliance of so many countries would actually fail.

At least, no one thought that the Void Duchy would be able to stop it until this conspiracy to incite the rebellion of many tribes in the wilderness broke out. In their assessment plan, it is inevitable that the Void Principality will be overwhelmed, and will even provide them and their partners with extremely favorable conditions for invasion.

But the result?

The Void Principality wiped out all the rebels with great cleanness and swiftness.

Everyone who saw the contents of this letter invariably thought of the terrifying news from the front before, and everyone was silent for a while.

"Everyone, let me know what you have to say."

"I don't think we should just promise the other side compensation." A young man stood up and saluted the king sitting on the throne before speaking, "The claim of the Void Principality is too rude! If we say yes, then they will ask us for tribute every year. So how do we deal with it? ”

"I think Ai Geqing's words are very reasonable." A middle-aged man wearing monocyclic glasses also stood up and said, and the named young man saluted to thank the middle-aged man, who returned the salute before continuing, "This condition is a temptation, if we are too weak." Then what awaits us is a bottomless pit of demand. And one day, if we can't be satisfied, we can imagine what will happen to us. ”

As the middle-aged man's words fell, there was a commotion in the venue.

Many people agreed and approved of the middle-aged man's words.

"The letter also said that if we don't give it, then the other party will have to take it himself." An old man with gray hair opened his mouth to ask, although he did not stand up, but no one accused him of rudeness, "We." What to resist? ”

"We still have our army!" The middle-aged man replied in a deep voice, "It is their duty to protect their family and defend the country!" ”

"You're right, their duty is indeed to defend their families and the country, but if they are sent to death, I don't think it makes sense at all." The old man shook his head, with an expression of "you are still too young", which made the middle-aged man's face show an unhappy look, "If you only talk about the military strength of our principality. I believe that they are much more powerful than the barbarians in the wilderness. But...... You should have read the information fed back by the intelligence gathering department, right? This time, it was one of the four giants of the Void Principality who led the army. At that time, the Void Principality was just a group of sheep that no one cared about, but under his command, it also grew into a group of lions. Right now...... He is leading a group of tigers, so what do you think these already fierce and abnormal tigers will become under his command? ”

"No one knows the result if they haven't been beaten!" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Marquis Dipole, your current remarks can be regarded as treason!" ”

"Treason?" The old man sneered, and the expression on his face showed an extremely clear look of contempt. "You're closer to the people of the fascist kingdom, aren't you? The main person in charge of the previous plan to assist the Fascist Kingdom in launching a plan to destroy the Void Duchy's Barbarian Lands is also you, right? Even now, you still want to exonerate yourself, if I were you, I would have been so ashamed that I would have crashed to death. ”

"Marquis Dipole! You! ”

"Don't you, you, me, me. It is now clear to us that we do not have the ability to fight the Void Principality. The old man glanced around at everyone present before he said in a cold tone, "Although they are also the names of the principality, we all know the situation of the Void Principality, and this is a country with the reality of an empire. They want to become the eighth empire, that is because they already have this strength, the last time Count Royce proposed that battle plan, I had already opposed it, but you were blinded by the immediate interests, you must provoke the Void Principality, and now that people have come to the door, do you plan to make a mistake again? ”

There was silence in the room.

"Let me just ask, even at the army level, we can win the Void Duchy that is not the main army this time, even if we assume that we also have ten general-level generals in command, what about the super strong?" The old man named Diber said in a deep voice, "Do we have the strength to stop the super strong?" Don't say it's a super strong, is there a legendary powerhouse in our country? Our Zhenguo powerhouse is just a powerhouse of the middle sanctuary! ”

The atmosphere in the conference room was almost suffocating.

"If the Void Duchy is really at war with us, it is impossible for our overlord to ignore our situation." The middle-aged man with monocyclic glasses, Count Royce, was still trying to fight for it, "We...... We only need to block the first wave of attacks at the beginning, and when the reinforcements from the suzerainty arrive, we will not be able to lose if we unite with the reinforcements of the fascist kingdom. And...... At the same time, so many countries are at war, even the Void Principality must have a few points of scruples! ”

"I really don't know how you became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs." The old man sneered with disdain again, of course, his words were indeed a naked mockery and slap in the face, because everyone present knew that this Count of Royce was able to get into such a position of real power because his sister was the favorite concubine of the current king, "You really think that the Void Duchy set off with an army of 300,000 this time. You're coming for us? They didn't take us seriously at all. …… Don't you understand the truth that a weak country has no diplomacy? ”

"Grand Duke Sean is a person with mixed reviews from the outside world, but on the whole, he is still a person who keeps his promises." Another man spoke, he was young, but he exuded a cold temperament. Apparently specialized in some dark work, "He said that as long as we compensate for these things, the matter will be stopped, and I believe it should be true." ”

"But he still has the Erlisen region in the list of claims, if this gate is also handed over, we will all be in the shadow of war in the wilderness in the future, and we will always be passive!" Count Royce also had a rare moment of soberness, at least he said a more critical place, "Other reparations." We can get the countries involved in this to help out as well, and ......"

"You'd better shut up." The old man said, "I've said so much before, and you idiot still don't understand a word?" What did William of the Void Duchy do with an army of 300,000? The goal is obviously to come to the fascist kingdom, and the fascist kingdom is now too busy to take care of itself, how can it have time to pay attention to us? The calculations you made in the previous years were completely ruined, and because of you, we have also come closer to the fascist kingdom in recent years. If the suzerainty uses this as an excuse to make trouble, we still have to find a way to solve the problem on the suzerain's side. ”

"As for the Erlisen region. The attitude of the Void Principality is obviously coming towards this area, and they will never let the entrance and exit of the Savage Land fall into the hands of others. If the other three regions don't take advantage of the emptiness of the Wild Land to send an invasion but adopt defensive tactics, the Void Duchy may not have much to do, but once it dares to invade, then the invasion will fail. These three areas will definitely fall into the hands of the Void Principality as well. ”

When people get older, they will have a lot of knowledge.

The Marquis of Diber, one of the three major marquis of the entire Duchy of Erquiri, is also the old man of the father's generation of the current Grand Duke of the Duchy of Erquiri.

At this moment, Archduke Equili only regretted that he had been deceived by a little interest. Didn't listen to the old man. So after a moment of helplessness, the Grand Duke sighed, and then said, "If you don't have any other opinions, then let's negotiate with the envoy of the Void Duchy about compensation." …… Let's try to solve this problem today. ”

……

Just after the Principality of Equili decided to make reparations, several mysterious people in different robes gathered somewhere in a forest.

"The Void Duchy has really sent troops." A silver-robed executive sighed, "It looks like Arbitrator Fanny has failed. ”

"That's not a negotiation at all." An executive officer in a gold robe said in a cold tone, "Sean doesn't have any intention of negotiating at all, he is trying to disrupt the world pattern!" This time, we must sanction it! ”

"With what sanctions?" Another golden-robed executive officer also spoke, "At most, we can only provide some intelligence information, and if we intervene in person, then we will be punished for violating the contract." …… The life of the messenger is not allowed to be used for jokes and temptations. ”

"Maybe, this battle won't be fought?" Another silver-robed executive spoke, and from the sound of his voice, he could clearly tell that it was a woman, "Perhaps, the Void Principality is just putting on a show, venting its inner dissatisfaction." I've heard that they have sent a letter of claim to the Duchy of Erkiri, and the 300,000 troops may just be used to cooperate with the threat, and even if the claim is not successful, if there is a real fight, we can intervene appropriately, as long as we don't shoot directly, there should be no problem, right? …… I mean, no violation of the content of the agreement. ”

"It's a risky temptation!" The golden-robed executive with a tough attitude spoke again, "As I said, the life of the messenger is very important, and we must not use it for any temptation. ”

The silver-robed female executive did not speak, but turned her head to look at the only person in the room who was also wearing a gold robe, but the robe was embroidered with a more brilliant golden texture to show that her status was more valuable. In the face of the highest-ranking person present, the silver-robed executive bowed humbly, a look of genuine convincing respect, not a pretense: "Lord Christina." What about your opinion? ”

"I've been in contact with Sean a lot of times, and I know better than you all about what kind of person he is." This high-status member of the Peace Council is naturally Christina, who has now been promoted to the status of a peace messenger, her voice is low, but there is also a confusion in her tone. It's just that no one but herself can hear this confusion, "Since he has let William lead his troops to attack, it is obvious that he really has plans for war." …… He thinks differently than we do, or rather, differently from many people. What seems to us to be hopeless, but he can grasp the glimmer of hope that makes the impossible possible. ”

The two gold-robed executives and the two silver-robed executives looked at each other. I don't know what to say.

"This time, only the seven empires that can stop William's army are the seven empires that are also at the imperial level." Christina said in a deep voice, "The fascist kingdom is absolutely unstoppable, the only problem is that I can't understand Sean's determination. …… Is he going to destroy the fascist kingdom, or is it just for a revenge action? ”

"Revenge?" The female silver-robed executive said suspiciously, "Revenge on what?" ”

"A lot." Christina said in a deep voice, "Arbitrator Fanny has failed. It was long since I had expected it, since it was our Peace Council that violated the agreement first. Then Sean will definitely not give up, he has always been such a person. …… But this time, if it weren't for the fascist kingdom, Sean might have taken another way to claim compensation, but unfortunately it was the fascist kingdom that took the lead...... No, it should be said that whether or not the fascist kingdom takes the lead. As long as the fascist kingdom is involved, Sean will send troops to attack the fascist kingdom. ”

"Why?"

"Because one of Sean's subordinates died in the conspiracy trap of the fascist kingdom. …… This is just a follow-up to the previous Blood Banner revenge. ”

"So what are we gathered here for?"

"Guarantee the stability of the power structure. If Sean really intends to destroy the fascist kingdom, then we must take action. Even if it costs me my life, I have to put an end to Sean's ambitious plan. But if the royal blood of the fascist kingdom is not severed, then there is no need for us to act. ”

"Everything is as you tell you, Lord Christina." The four executive officers bowed.

"But is it only our Peace Council that will suffer retaliation?" The female silver-robed executive keenly noticed the key words mentioned by Christina, "Isn't Deaththorn also violating the content of the contract?" Did they make some secret deal with Sean again? ”

"Judging from what Arbitrator Fanny heard at the time, there shouldn't be." Christina shook her head, "If anything was left out of what Arbitrator Fanny repeated, then from what I know about Sean, the liaison at Deaththorn offended Sean again. …… Not only did it not calm Sean's anger, but he even set it on fire again, if it weren't for the fact that I had reminded Judge Fanny before, Sean probably wouldn't have simply sent troops to attack the fascist kingdom this time. ”

"What could that be?"

"I don't know, that lunatic Sean can theoretically do anything. …… But I guess there's a lot of panic on Deaththorn's side right now. ”

……

A young woman dressed in highly revealing light armor and holding a sword-bladed spear stepped out of a torn crack in the void.

Behind her was a dragon knight dressed in armor that was as red as jade.

The black Imperial Dragon shook its head, and the direct void shuttle obviously made it feel a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the sudden arrival of two people and a dragon on the ground, several people who had already put on a defensive appearance were holding weapons against this group of enemies who appeared directly from the crack in the void. The leader shouted in a deep voice, "Who are you?" This is private territory, you ......."

Before the man could finish speaking, the young woman who had walked out of the void crack had already spoken, "This is the nest of death, right?" ”

The leader's face changed: "Who are you!?" ”

"Me?" The young woman smiled lightly, "I'm Alexis, my current identity is a messenger from the Void Principality, in view of the great gift you sent to the Void Principality before, this time it is my turn to send you Deaththorn to the Void Principality, Grand Duke Sean's warm greetings." ”

With that, Alexis swept away the sword and spear in his hand, and the few guards who were on guard in front of him didn't even know what was going on, and they had already found that their perspective had completely changed, and the head flying in mid-air could only see their headless corpse slowly kneeling on the ground.

Immediately afterward, the entire base instantly sounded an alarm bell.

The thick black smoke quickly spread out, as if it were obscuring the sky.

"You're on the side, let's take a good look at how I made a move." Alexis said to Rena without looking back, "A mere barrier of fog like this shouldn't be something that stands in our way. ”

The bladed gun in his hand stabbed forward again, only to hear a terrible howl, and then all the smoke completely broke through.

A tower more than ten meters high and more than thirty meters in diameter was exposed to Alexis and Rena. (To be continued.) )
