Section 29
Hearing what you just said, I now have some suspicion that the dwarves have already reached some kind of agreement with the undead legion. The sarcasm in Ribalo's language is palpable, but more of a feeble whisper.
"We don't have any information about it. Fei Duo answered his question very seriously.
"Hah," Ribalo chuckled, "then do we have to thank the Beast God for not letting the dwarves fall like Penny Reagan?" β
"Dwarves don't believe in beast gods. "Khalikhan's treatment was like a joke.
No one heeds Khalikhan's jokes, and Feiduo immediately wants to explain: "Penny Reagan's rule over the Sukh Plains does not mean that our war against the undead legions has cut off aid from the Kingdom of Kruria..."
Ribalo still didn't have the patience to listen, "Do you expect Penny Reagan to help us in turn, or can you expect her to let her brother's army gallop across the Suker Plains? Even if she ends up on our side, can you trust someone who has worked with the Undead Legion?"
"There is no such thing as trust in foreign relations, only interests. Fei Duo's two patient explanations were interrupted, making his face not look very good, and the tone that had just eased down became stiff and indifferent again, "Three years ago, how many humans we killed in this city, and our hatred with humans was almost irresolvable at that time, and now... If you go to our coastal towns and towns, humans and orcs can now drink at the same table and fight pirates back to back at sea... Even, there are some human beings who have migrated to some of our tribes, and we have people who have migrated to human cities. β
"But the undead legions, unlike humans, are devils..."
"A long time ago, we saw humans as more evil beings than the devil. β
"Chief Priest Feiduo!" the abrupt voice of the fangs interrupted the argument between the two, he first bowed to the stone can-silver axe, then looked at Feiduo and said, "Prince Ribalo means that your ideas and practices are very dangerous, and given the current situation, there is no need for us to take any risks. β
"The ambitions of humanity are more dangerous than the wreaking havoc of the undead legions. "Feiduo is very stubborn," and Pedy Reagan's burning ambition could ignite the entire Eastern Continent, and if we don't stop him, his fires will soon burn here. β
"We built the highest levee enough to extinguish the fires that Pedy Reagan carried. Fang's momentum was obviously stronger, he glared at Feiduo, "Trust is mutual, what you are doing now will destroy the trust of the Kruria Kingdom in us, and destroy the alliance relationship between us, and now the alliance between us and the Kruria Kingdom is not just as simple as an 'ally', it is the most critical foreign affairs relationship for the clan to achieve permanent peace." β
"I hate working with humans, but I have to admit that we need to keep trading with humans, and if I had to choose an ally between humans and the undead, I'd rather be humans. Ribalo seemed to be expressing a certain attitude, and although he said this to Feiduo, his eyes were always constantly looking at the stone ridge next to him-silver axe.
"I've stressed countless times that the cooperation with the Undead Legion is only temporary, and only once. Feiduo's voice was raised high, with a certain sharp harsh feeling, "Moreover, this is just a combination of interests, not cooperation." β
"Your so-called 'union of interests' will lead our war with the undead in unpredictable directions, a war that was already on the verge of victory, and now it will be difficult because of what you call 'cooperation'. Ribalo's voice was even louder: "This is a war for survival, a war of life and death, you actually use your deception in such a war, do you want to destroy the entire clan?"
Ribalo at this moment is like an angry lion on the steppe...
There is actually a reason for his anger, in the previous civil war between the three major tribes, although Ribalo chose Shikan-Silver Axe at the beginning, but this does not mean that he is indifferent to the death of the old chief, he has always thought that the mastermind of all this is Feiduo, but he does not dare to show his dissatisfaction with Shikan-Silver Axe, and Feiduo naturally becomes the object of his resentment and curse.
The escalating argument with Feiduo made the suppressed resentment in Ribalo's heart explode at this moment, and the combination of bloodshot eyes and his hideous face, as well as the unreserved killing intent, made everyone's eyelids jump unconsciously.
"Calm down, Prince Ribalo. The fangs beside Hali Khan were also startled by the other party's sudden burst of killing intent, and he pressed the other party's hand to pull out the saber at his waist at a very fast speed, "Are you crazy?
The crook of his friend was like a bucket of cold water poured on the top of Ribalo's head, and the coldness on his neck made him subconsciously look at the stone ridge-silver axe next to him, and what he saw was a pair of eyes that were so cold that people felt chills in their hearts.
"King Khan, Prince Ribalo is just a little excited. Surprisingly, the first person to open his mouth to intercede was actually Feiduo, who lowered his head so that people could not see his expression at the moment, and his tone of voice was formulaic and stereotyped.
"King Khanβ" Both Fangs and Khali Khan subconsciously saluted to Shikan-Silveraxe, wanting to say something. Barillo himself was already on one knee, looking like he was at his disposal.
Shikan-Silveraxe's gaze glanced at the three princes, then at Feiduo, and then silently poured himself a glass of milk wine with a tin can. This glass of milk wine was poured into the stomach in the blink of an eye... Then, he repeated what he had just said when he drank the milk wine: "Sure enough, our milk wine tastes the best." He looked down at the tin can of wine and shook his head again, "However, we still have to burn our own porcelain jars to keep the original flavor." β
Fangs and Halihan frowned when they heard these words, looking at each other, a little confused. And Ribalo, who is a person in the game, did tremble, and his head was unconsciously pressed lower.
"The tin can is the easiest vessel to carry on the march because it is not easily broken. Nibel's slightly younger voice took over Shikan-Silveraxe's words, it was the first time he had spoken on such an occasion. His joking words immediately attracted the sideways glances of the three princes, and Fei Duo gently raised his head to look at his student, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
Shikan-Silveraxe's gaze lingered on his nephew for a second, then looked at the three princes, and whispered, "I don't want to see a powerful empire appear in the Eastern Continent again, at least not yet. That's why I'm rooting for Penny Reagan, but that doesn't mean I'm going to turn a deaf ear to the undead legion. His tone was simply without any emotion, "I have only one attitude towards the Immortal Legion, and that is to never die!"
"Butβ" Fangs wanted to say something.
"I know what you're worried about, but rest assured that if Pedy Reagan doesn't take Tyre in a short period of time, his war with his sister will be forced to the negotiating table. Shikan-Silveraxe sat down again as he said this, "The elves supported Pedy Reagan for a short time, and their purpose was also to eliminate the undead legion as soon as possible, once the civil war of the Reagan family fell into a protracted confrontation, the elves would be the first to sit still, and they would force Pedy Reagan to come to the negotiating table, and then we could unite with the Highlanders as mediators, and I believe Duke Andy would be happy to accept this." β
"What if Pedi Reagan doesn't accept compromise?" Harry Khan frowned, "I don't think he's a compromisemaker, and he can even go to war with his own sister for the sake of the Sukh Plains." β
Shikan-Silveraxe grinned and asked, "Is Pedy Reagan smart?"
"Although I hate to admit it, but... Yes, he has the ability to think like a wise man. β
"Then he won't turn us down!"
...
Drake City, the most magical city in the entire continent except for the elven forest city, she has many titles, such as: the gathering place of the wise, the place of magic, the place of the gods and so on.
Not so long ago, the legendary city of the human world experienced a rebellion. But soon, the chaos wrought by the mad rebels and the undead was quelled by the Council with thunderous power, and the brilliant magic once again radiated a mesmerizing brilliance in the city.
Wealthy merchants and nobles of all nations who came on vacation still enjoy the city day and night, countless mage apprentices with dreams get up early and follow their mentors every day to study magic and explore the fascinating truths in it, and the most knowledgeable magic professors in the continent still wake up every day and start their new experiments.
It's a peaceful and all-inclusive city...
On the top floor of the Mage Tower, in the enlarged conference room next to the chairman's office, Turlock invited all the remaining directors to hold a meeting just after dawn today.
The mages don't like to meet very often, and the Council doesn't usually have any important meetings, but the meetings have been so constant these months that the trials in the hands of the Council members can't be sustained.
So, at the beginning of the meeting, the directors complained about the mess.
The formal meeting did not begin until Tlock had exchanged two pots of tea, and the topics of discussion naturally revolved around the accession of the Kingdom of Kruria to the Sook Plains and the civil war between the Reagan siblings.
There are those who support it, and there are many people who oppose it.
The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and they quarreled for most of the day and still did not see any results from the discussion.
"The Mage Tower doesn't need a powerful empire, just an ally that can be interdependent. Andor said while biting his pipe and constantly "ba-la-la-la" in his mouth, "After Pedy Reagan is crowned emperor, the position of the Mage Tower will become very awkward, and you must not forget why we call ourselves 'Eternal Wings'. β
"Your ideas are too selfish. Cornelia immediately retorted, "We, as representatives of ordered life, have a responsibility to build a vast empire that can unite everything. Moreover, we need such an environment to study magical knowledge, and the Empire is the foundation that underpins this environment. β
"You're dreamy, ma'am. Elder Krilanfu's voice immediately came, "There is no possibility that the Elan Continent will be ruled by one person, let alone a stable environment, so we can only put our own interests first, rather than pursuing the great unity of the void." β
"You're too extreme in your own thinking. Cornelia didn't say her words tactfully because of the other party's age, "It is because of your selfishness that the originally stable Alan Continent will be in chaos, and the undead legion will also appear because of this." β
"Yes, I am selfish, but without the selfishness of those of us, you would still be trembling under the imperial power, and you are so afraid that you would not even dare to hold a funeral for the death of our own chairman. Krilanfu's tone was even worse.
"Knock knock" Turlock said as he tapped his fingers lightly on the conference table, "Today's discussion is about the Reagan family's civil war, not ideals... It's not like that. β
The argument between the two came to an abrupt end with Tlock's slightly warning words, and the noisy conference room immediately became a little quieter.
After a long silence, Director Duquesne coughed lightly and said in a chatty tone as calm as possible: "Peddy Reagan has done a great job so far... Look at the people around him now, there are not only orcs, but also elves and goblins, which means... Peddy Reagan is a king who can tolerate everything, and I feel like we should give it a try, and we should try to believe in him. β
He looked around at all the councillors present, finally fixing his gaze on Turlock, "Besides, Erin Phill will guide him to the right path." β
"I admit that Pedy Reagan is a great king, and he may lead humans and other races to build an empire like never before, but can you guarantee that there will be no problems with his successor?" the pipe in Andor's hand rang the ashtray, "The Locke Empire has encountered many great emperors in the past three hundred years, but there are also stupid and incompetent people, and if a huge empire falls into the hands of incompetent people, it will be a disaster for the entire Elan continent. β
Laubert Danediv is proof of this. β
"The fall of Locke's empire had nothing to do with the reign of Laubert, who, though not a good ruler, did almost no wrong during his reign except for his extravagant life. The expression of Director Zibbot, the leader of the magical warriors, was serious, "The fall of the empire is due to the corrupt aristocracy that rots to the roots. β
"Isn't it because of the incompetence of the rulers that the aristocracy is corrupt?" retorted sharply, "Pedy Reagan concentrated all power in him as a king, and if his successor was an incompetent man, the disaster would be greater than the dissolution of the Locke Empire." β
"Then try not to make his successor become incompetent. Cornelia's high voice echoed through the hall, "You always think of yourselves as the wisest, always call yourselves wise, but can you do what a wise man should do?
