Vol 4 Chapter 45: New ally

"So, do we have another new ally now?"
In the Hidden Castle, Buckler yawned lazily.
After tossing all night, no one expected that the final result would be like this.
Frank Empire Prince Richard Kleman confirmed that Cissedadanier had been with him that night. As for why they were together, Xiu Yi explained that this was actually the intention of Her Royal Highness. Her Royal Highness wanted to communicate more with Her Royal Highness about her marriage, but obviously she was not suitable to come forward, and she lacked someone who could "trust" her, so she entrusted a very important matter to herself. So Sisada Daniil went to Prince Richard with ease.
This reason, Princess Avril herself can be confirmed.
She did entrust Master Sitherda Danil to do something for Prince Frank to accept a substitute, anyway, all they needed was an excuse to cede the land and calm the anger of the people.
Of course, neither Xiuyi, Princess Avril, or Prince Richard would say what they were talking about, which involved political decision-making, and no one would go without asking.
So the lie was naturally completed.
In turn, the nobles who have always been sensitive to the high society have heard something.
First, Her Royal Highness valued this Master Dardanelle. Second, Her Royal Highness was dissatisfied with the people around her. Because she lacked someone to "trust". This sentence obviously means something else, and everyone thinks of Padgett.
Her Royal Highness looked very dissatisfied with her guard.
In addition, Prince Richard seemed to appreciate the master of Dardaniel's family and praised him. In this respect, it also means that the commission of His Royal Highness seems to have been completed by the little family heir who has been trying to break into the upper circle.
In other words, after tonight, the Dardanelles family has officially risen in the upper circle of the Reims Empire.
There is no more support, it is more important than Her Royal Highness's support, isn't it?
As for Raschel, it is undeniable that he is indeed very capable.
But he still suffered a big defeat. He failed to catch Hugh Iglell, but he was damaged by soldiers and wounded. The palace was attacked, the princess was hijacked, and now attempts to "frame" a "little background" family heir.
It looks like he can't get through the next few days.
If it is said that tonight, the Legal Affairs Department valued him and Xiuyi ignored him. Then after tonight, Xiuyi will value him, and the Empire will ignore him.
Only Hugh Glair himself and his friends knew how difficult it was for Raschel to deal with an old fox.
With only a few clues, he found himself out, and only took one shot to force Xiuyi into chaos, and almost ruined his good business so far.
But it was because of this that Xiu Yi realized that he needed to make some changes.
Obviously, Xiuyi has gone a step further than just leaving Purgatory Island.
He became more stable and planned. Because he already understood a truth.
"The world is not an isolated island. On Purgatory Island, I can only move forward, I ca n’t go back. I have no choice. Once I lose, I die. But in the world-wide operations, sometimes we have to prepare for failure. The world is big Even if we fail, we can make a comeback as long as we do n’t hurt our vitality. This is my biggest comprehension since I left Purgatory Island.
Xiu Yi sighed and said,
I ’m very fortunate that we can find the people who saved everything in time, otherwise Our best result now is to kill Winington all the way. "
"When did Richard Kleman contact you?"
"After I sent Avril back ..."
Xiu began to talk about what happened that night.
When Avril returned to the Royal Garden, Xiu Yi had already planned to arrange a teleportation array, and she was ready to escape as soon as she was exposed. The reason why he had to see Avril once before, in addition to requiring her to communicate, was also an important reason to hope that she could understand her pains, so that when they ran away, it would be much easier if Avril secretly helped.
But what Xiu didn't expect was Chaclay.
In the battle on Qingshui Street, although Xiuyi failed to eliminate his opponent as planned, he finally succeeded in helping Chakrae escape. Chaclay was able to escape because, on the one hand, Raschel could not hold him on the spot in the absence of evidence, so that he maintained the opportunity to use force, on the one hand, because of Xiuyi's shot, and another important reason was that La After the emergence of Shuyi and others, Sher and others immediately reduced their attention to Chaklay.
But no one thought that while the two parties were wrestling, there was a star-level strong man hiding behind the scenes.
This man was one of the two star warriors of the sword-bearing biharwich Frank Empire who followed the girl Amelia.
Richard Kleman is coming to the Lance Empire to marry Avril. Naturally, there cannot be no strong guard. Biharovic is the most important protector, responsible for playing for the prince and clearing out all possible potential threats. It is just that he is not only responsible for protecting the prince, but also has a task even more to protect the prince, that is, to find Hugh Iglell.
For the Frank Empire, the Reims Empire, which was once ordinary in military strength, has developed rapidly and powerfully in recent years, and half of this is because they have a large army of puppets. These puppet armies have excellent combat capabilities, and have little need for logistics. They are not afraid of death in combat, and absolutely obey the command. They may not be the most terrible arms on the battlefield, but they must be the best. The emergence of the Devil's Legion as an assassination regiment has low cost, poisonous means, powerful force, and can avoid the search of vindictive spirits. It once caused a storm of blood and blood in the Frank Empire and killed countless grass-roots legions. It also gave the Franks Bring a lot of trouble.
The mid-level and grass-roots regiments are the link between the generals and the commanders. They do not have escorts like senior generals. Once a large number of them are lost, it will cause inconvenience to the command system during combat.
Two legions, one that strengthened the frontal battlefield of the Reims Empire, and one that weakened the enemy's strength. The Frank Empire had huge national power but was forced to retreat.
They also tried more than once to find the mysterious origins of the two legions, but they were inconclusive. It was not until the appearance of Hugh Iglell that the rumors began to spread and the secrets gradually surfaced.
For any country, whoever owns Hugh Iglell can increase their military strength.
Fortunately, the Lance Empire apparently made a big mistake on this issue. They mistakenly assessed the seriousness of the situation, arguing that it was impossible for Shuigler to escape the empire's pursuit, and as long as he found him, he would get all the losses.
Therefore, at first, they did not have the will to negotiate with Xiuyi.
Of course, it is impossible for any country to negotiate with a fugitive from the beginning. Negotiation is always a means used when the force cannot reach the intended goal.
As a result, they were successively hit by Hugh Iglell.
The excellent performance of Xiu Yi was seen by Franks. They were very clever to adjust their strategies. They did not intend to forcibly tie Xiu Yi, but decided to use the methods of pulling and buying.
That is to say, under this premise, Frank people use intermarriage to cede the three groups of land. Otherwise, how could they so easily promise the Lance Empire to take away the three groups of land in this way?
In order to negotiate with Xiuyi, domestic heavyweights must be present to show their sincerity.
It is difficult for such a person to walk freely within the borders of the enemy country, and to keep it completely secret. The best way is to marry, and then appear in the territory of the enemy country.
So Richard came with a special mission.
Even before his arrival, Emily, the well-known Dark Lord of the Frank Empire, came to the Reims with Bihavici first, and looked for Hugh Iglell.
When they learned that Hugh Iglell had publicly threatened to go to Warrington, the joy in their hearts could be imagined.
When Xiu attacked the palace, Richard Kleman immediately ordered Bihavic to find a way to contact Xiu. As an outsider, Biharic clearly knew that Xiu's attack on the palace could only be a cover, and he was not so capable to assassinate the Strike emperor. In fact, not only did he see it, too many people could see that Xiuyi ’s attack on the palace was meaningless, but the problem was that all Lances could not say it except the Franks. On the contrary, they want to take this opportunity to show loyalty, so even if they see it, they will only pretend to be deaf.
This is why the director of the Legal Affairs Department, Lentino; the Marquis of Jacobs would agree to immediately transfer Raschel's people back. He did not want to be described as attacking the palace in the future, and his people were close at hand. Just don't rescue. The reason is because of that ridiculous, Hugh Iglell is likely to be a plan to adjust the tiger to leave the mountain.
That would be a good bargaining chip for his political opponents to attack him.
Whether it's Xiuyi, Lentino; Marquis of Jacobs or Bihavici or anyone else, most noble officials know this. This is a willing fight, one willing to suffer, Xiu Yibu put down a scam, the other party is willing to be fooled, and seeing through to go fooled, then it is really no one can do anything, the unlucky thing is Raschel, all his plans therefore Suffered a major blow.
But after Lentino; the Marquis of Jacobs ordered Raschel to return to the palace, Bihavich immediately realized that Raschel's troops were probably the true goal of Xiuyi, although he didn't know why. . But with this speculation, he went to find Raschel's men for the first time.
Then he witnessed the battle on the streets of Shimizu.
Hidden as his star power, even Hampton, who is also a star power, would never expect to find each other.
So when Chakli ran away, he finally understood what happened.
When Zachary ran away, he even secretly helped, but no one could see.
When Chakley was out of danger, he wanted to find a place to take a good rest, and after Xiu Yi found him, he thought about what to do next. Bihavicz appeared at this time, took Chakra on the spot, and took him to meet Richard Kraeman.
After assuring Chaklai that the Franks had absolutely no bad intentions with Xiu Yierai, Chaklai took the initiative to contact Xiu Yi and interviewed Xiu Yi for Richard Kleman.
The next thing started to be logical.
Richard Kleman hopes to work with Xiu Yi to purchase some alchemy and special resources from Xiu Yi.
"So you promised him?" Lilith asked nervously.
"No." To the surprise of Lilith, Xiu shook her head: "Lilith, I'm not a fool, I know what that means. My revenge may bring some trouble and pain to the Reims Empire, but at least It ’s not an outright disaster. If the Franks become strong, the nature of things will change. They will break into the Reims Empire, destroy this country, and enslave people here. The Prince Richard looks very A savvy character, but that does n’t mean that he has any kind heart. Although I will kill some people, it also does not mean that I will pull all innocents into the abyss of war. Especially ... I do n’t have Forget what you used to kill me for. "
He looked at Lilith, smiling, and said, "Do you think I'll do something to disappoint you?"
Lilith blushed, but her heart was full of sweetness.
That's right, despite being a robber, Lilith is also a Lance. She did not like the royal family of the empire, but did not intend to sell her country.
It's a matter of revenge yourself, and collusion with foreign enemies is another matter. The nature is completely different and cannot be compared.
"So why would he help you?"
Xiu replied: "I do not support the Franks to come in, nor do they support the Lances to fight. For me, it is a good thing for these two countries to maintain a military balance. So I do n’t Will provide them with technology, but may provide them with some formed puppets to help them just offset the advantages of the Lance Empire. Of course, Prince Richard may not be satisfied with this result, but it is better than nothing. Much stronger. In particular, he now asks me. "
"whats the matter?"
"Three groups of land." Xiu said very seriously: "You will not really believe that Franks will willingly hand over the three groups of land, even if there is a wedding as an excuse, how many people can you really deceive? If you can They don't want to deliver an inch of land. In contrast, marrying Avril is not in the eyes of Franks. There will never be a beauty in this world, and it is worth going to so much land, even if she is an imperial princess. "
"So it is." Buckler nodded. "So today, he helped us ..."
"First, I helped them to force the Reims Empire to give up territorial claims. Of course, they also needed their own cooperation, as well as the cooperation of Avril. Second, I only have scarce resources, but ordinary resources are very small. They provide a huge amount I provide scarce resources and technology, and we cooperate to produce magic puppets. Half of the puppets produced are owned by me and half by me. Third, the Frank Empire will be our biggest backing. If one day, we Failed. When there is nowhere to go, you can escape to the Frank Empire. There, we will become true nobles, have all we want. This is what I said earlier ... a retreat for failure Prepared retreat. "
"I don't want to go to Frank." Lilith.
"No one wants to use a retreat, but no one doesn't want to have a good retreat."
This makes sense, Buckler nodded: "I think it's good. The Franks can provide us with many of the resources, wealth and conditions we don't have. You grasp the alchemy and only provide the finished product, they will You are always needed and will not betray you. But how are you going to force the Reims Empire to give up three lands? "
"It's very simple. I gave a space ring to Richard Kleman, with the production deadline engraved on it, this year." Xiu said with a smile.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Many things can be very simple, just because you want to do it.
What is the fear of the Lance Empire? Not that Xiu Yi could not get the things in his hands, but that he gave them to other countries.
A space ring can tell a lot of things, such as Hugh Glair and the Franks have become good friends.
In this case, the value of Xiuyi was truly reflected, and it was impossible to live with it. Even if it suffered a big loss, it was full of anger. It was necessary to catch Xiuyi and regain everything from the Reims Empire. , Scared.
In this case, many things are really no longer negotiable.
If you abandon the three groups of territories, you can guarantee that those resources and alchemy will not fall into the hands of the Franks. They may indeed agree, and Avril's crisis will be resolved.
In fact at this moment, Richard Kleman was already in the palace.
He was tinkering with that ugly and tasteless ring, in Christine's words, showing off in the presence of Emperor Stricker.
Of course, he did not say that it was a gift from Xiuyi, but only that it was given to him by a blond boy before he came to Warrington.
This is enough for His Majesty to vomit blood.
Of course, negotiations do not result in immediate results, and political things always go through repeated rumors. Xiu Yi will increase his strength at the appropriate time, mentioning his own conditions. In short, everything started to turn for the better.
"So, go on like this, it won't be long before the Lance Empire will withdraw your wanted?" Lilith asked. She didn't understand whether it was good news or bad news.
"Yes, but it should be secret." Xiu said: "It will still be maintained on the surface. This is what Richard told me. He is a prince and understands political needs better than me. Some things can never be put. On the table. "
"So don't you plan to continue with your revenge?" Buckler still sensitively recognized the problem.
Xiu Yi sighed: "Where is the so-called revenge? All actions are just venting. The battle on Shimizu Street made me understand many things. In this magical world, only power is eternal. I should continue Pursue strength, not simple conspiracy and killing. A year ago, I was a little tired. I was able to shake the Reims empire, be afraid, and spit out all the spoils in a winning battle. I should be satisfied. "
"Then those conditions ..."
Xiu Yi's complexion was complete: "Some principles, I will not change."
"But they won't agree to officially announce Purgatory Island, even if the whole world already knows that their public admission is another matter."
"I know, as we said, there are some things that can never be put on the table. But this thing does not require me to worry about headaches."
"why?"
"Richard Kleman told me one thing."
"what?"
"Strick's body is dead. He is dying." Xiu said seriously.
Everyone was frustrated.
Xiu shook his head with a bitter smile: "I'm not interested in killing him. I just want them to admit their mistakes and apologize. This may be an impossible condition when Stricker is alive, but after he dies, it becomes easy and simple. The Franks will help me accomplish this, that is, all the troubles will no longer be troubles, it ’s just a matter of time. So, you see, things are so simple. All of a sudden, everything is solved Now. "
"Then the Dardanelles ..."
"It doesn't matter anymore." Xiu shrugged. "It's ridiculous, right? It took so much care to keep our hard-built family, but in the present situation, it really doesn't matter if it can still work. .It has completed its mission to help us reach the most important goals, understand enough information to seize the opportunity, and fulfill our needs. So whether it still exists, it is no longer important. Of course, just At present, it also has a very important practical value, that is, the alchemy factory jointly established with Dodge and San Marino. It will be the birthplace of our wealth and the birthplace of our strength. I intend to be there The secret production of the puppets we need to really bring out the value of the alchemist. "
"You want to build a legion of puppets? You've given up revenge on the empire, what else would the legion do?" Lilith was puzzled.
Xiu blinked: "This world is big, Lilith. On the road to the strong, never feel that your strength is enough. Besides ... the battle is not over yet. The negotiations have just begun, and I am currently Still a wanted man. Even if the negotiations are successfully completed, I will not be without enemies for a long time to come. "
Then he took out the glorious sword and said meaningfully: "Maybe a stronger enemy, and of course, there are equally powerful allies."
Let me tell you something. Today, several friends applied to join the group, but the group is full and no one can join.
Add friends to the second group.
I was ill some time ago, but I could n’t write more, and I could n’t break out last month. I tried to get more code points this month. I would read messages on qq every day, but I basically did n’t speak. You have to work hard to catch the manuscript, and it will be easy to get rid of the owed manuscript. Then I will return to the group and chat with everyone.
Well, talking about things like that is the mood. When you feel relaxed, you can talk. Codeword task is not completed, how can I chat. Ha ha. !! ~!
