At this time, Hali Khan shrugged helplessly, and then shook his head imperceptibly, "Even if the Kingdom of Kruria collapses, we don't have the strength to rule the Eastern Continent, otherwise we will collapse immediately." ”

"What a depressing truth. Fang nodded instinctively.

The words of the two princes made everyone, including Shikan-Silver Axe, fall into thought, and the hall became extremely quiet for a while, making the sound of the bonfire "crackling" even more obvious.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Shikan-Silveraxe leaned against the armrest of the throne, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's talk about the problem we're facing... I still maintain my old view of the Undead Legion, and I will not cooperate with them. Of course... I don't want to go head-to-head with the Undead Legion too soon if I could, but the current situation has to make us decide in advance. ”

"The million-strong undead army is attacking Feld territory in the south, and at the same time, the undead army in the south of our territory is becoming more and more wreaking havoc. Shikan-Silver Axe said and sat up straight, "There is nothing wrong with the information shared by the Elven Kingdom, the undead legion will become stronger and stronger over time, and it can no longer be left to the undead legion to develop." ”

"Gather the warriors of the tribes. Peidi looked at the chief priest, "I need more than ten Banner Regiment soldiers, as well as enough logistics supplies for these soldiers to fight for more than two years in a row. ”

"Soldiers can be recruited in half a month, but supplies need at least three months. Fei Duo said a time, and after Shikan-Silver Axe nodded, he added, "But... Winter is coming soon. ”

"Then prepare supplies for a year first, and then figure out a way next year. Stone-Silveraxe didn't intend to dwell on this issue, and after he had given his order, he changed the subject, "Also, tell Ribalo that I agree to assemble a large army on the Suker Plains in the name of Pedi Regan. ”

"King Khan!" Hali Khan frowned, "by doing so, we are acknowledging the dominance of the Kingdom of Kruria in the trade circles..."

"Isn't trade now dominated by the Kingdom of Kruria?" asked Shikan-Silveraxe rhetorically.

"This..."

"We are indeed inferior to the Kingdom of Kruria at present, and only by admitting our own shortcomings can we progress, otherwise we will perish like the Empire. Niebel explained in place of his uncle: "In the war against the Undead Legion, we need the help of King Pedy Reagan, who has a more advanced logistics system than we do, and more powerful weapons, which we need." ”

"We only need to pay humility to get everything, why don't we do it?" Nibel looked around, "Look at the current Balu Kingdom, their kingdom has a broken arm, but the whole nation has stood up, I heard that the Balu Kingdom is even deliberating whether to become a vassal state of the Kruria Kingdom, in order to reduce military expenses and fully develop the national economy. ”

"Times have changed, folks. "Maybe in another ten to twenty years, our neighbor to the north will develop a strong autonomous state." ”

Nibel's words silenced everyone, including Feiduo.

The hall fell silent again.

Shikan-Silveraxe didn't want to wait any longer, and the princes remained silent and said, "I'll assume that you agree to this decision, so... I plan to meet with Peddy Reagan in advance, and in half a month I will personally go to the town of Kwyn, and after a short rest there to the city of Suke. ”

"Which of you would like to come with me?" his tone this time was not a consultation, but an order.

"King Khan, King Pedi Reagan has made it clear that he will formally invite us in half a year. Fei Duo took a deep breath and looked at the King Khan who was sitting on the throne of the high platform, frowning slightly. As the chief priest of the royal court, he had not prepared for these matters discussed this evening, in other words, the king had not consulted with him in advance, as before.

"If we had gone early, Pedy Reagan could have turned down your meeting, which," Fei said without saying the rest of the sentence, "and besides, we are in such a hurry to go to Suke City that it will make it seem that we are trying to curry favor." ”

"But as far as I know, the three goblin princes have already set off. Shikan-Silver Axe turned his head sideways and looked at Feiduo.

...

The former Prime Minister's official residence in Suker City, Peidi's temporary residence in Suk City.

The previous war had damaged much of the iconic building, but Pedi insisted on placing his resting place and office here.

On Pedi's orders, the bedroom on the second floor on the west side of the residence was converted into a temporary office.

In the past, Pedi liked this room very much, because this room has an independent balcony, standing on the balcony, you can clearly see the magnificent Divine Glory Grand Theater and the church in Shengli Square, but now the Grand Theater is in ruins, and the church has become uncared for.

Pedi's favorite thing to do for the past two days is leaning back on his balcony and looking out at the ruined Victory Square.

Early this morning, Pedi came to the office and sat down in a chair on the balcony, looking at the charming morning glow in the sky.

But he wasn't really in a daze, but thinking about something extremely important. The generals of the kingdom were urging him to be crowned emperor, and the nobles of the royal capital also wrote to express this wish.

The benefits of coronation are obvious, not only can you successfully claim the allegiance of the Twak Heights and the Mage Tower, but also can calm the turmoil caused by the war on the Suk Plains and the Iruk Territory.

But the throne of Emperor not only brings supreme power and glory, but also corresponding responsibilities, and Peidi fears that with the current power of the Kingdom of Kruria, it is simply not enough to rule the Twak Heights and the Mage Tower.

However, the throne of the emperor was so tempting that it made Peidi think about him day and night.

"If it were my father and brother, what would I do at this time?" Pedi stood up from his chair and looked at the files in his hand.

Now there is something more important than the coronation, which is to confirm the Suke City District Government Minister as soon as possible.

Pedi had two candidates in mind, one was his uncle Lundin Reagan, but his uncle had no experience in managing local administrations, and Suke City was so important.

The other candidate is the current Prime Minister of the Crown, Sir Bipp, but if he were appointed as the Minister of Sook City, it would be tantamount to demotion. So Pedi asked the MI to get some dossier documents to choose a more suitable candidate.

But picking and choosing, Pedi didn't pick out the right person.

Today, the MI is required to send files to the sub-level officials of the Kingdom, who are the Chiefs of the various regions of the Kingdom and the Under-Ministers of the Departments.

During the half-hour search, Pedi left behind the files of Baron Aemond, the Harons Highland Chief, as well as the Lord of Seka, Sir Fett, and the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, Baron Bavi.

Baron Aemond is valued by Petdy because of his extensive experience in financial management, his network of connections across the Eastern Territories can help Suker City recover quickly, while Sir Fett has the same resources as Baron Aemond, and it is time for Sekka Town to change its supreme governor.

As for the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, Baron Bavi, Pedi valued him for his rich diplomatic experience and familiarity with the foreign affairs of various countries, because the city of Suk would have to deal with relations with other powers for a long time to come.

Baron Bavi is a descendant of a military family, and his family is still just an ordinary military family for five generations. Prior to his transfer to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he served as a knight of the castle guard, deputy commander of the heavy cavalry corps, clerk of the town of Baran, and assistant to the chief of the tax department of the Clan.

This is undoubtedly a suitable candidate, but the other party's health is not very good, and he needs to be constantly conditioned with holy power and medicine, and the military intelligence department even gave him a comment that he can't work for a long time.

These three files were eventually left behind by Baron Bavi's, and after continuing to look through the archives, he left behind the current acting Minister of Finance, Darek Danny, and Crewe, a great nobleman.

But after reading all the documents, the morning glow on the horizon had become a scorching sun.

When he returned to the house, Pedi handed the three files to Secretary General Wolfma, "I need to talk to these three people as soon as possible." When Wolfma took the three files, he added, "Find Baron Bavi a bachelor of herbology and a paladin and mage who is proficient in healing." ”

Wolf Ma hurriedly took out a notepad to record, and then quickly left to do what the king had ordered.

"What am I going to meet next?" Pedi asked the other Secretariat officials.

"Brianne, the captain of the Elven Ranger that we rescued from prison, has been waiting outside for half an hour. Sir Abel Mara, the youngest son of Under-Secretary-General Saike Mara, who had just been transferred to the Secretariat, answered that question.

"What's the matter with her?"

"Didn't say, do you need to refuse this meeting?"

"Let our elven friends come in. Pedi shook her head.

"Yes!" said Abel Marat, acting cautiously, stepping back to the door, opening the door with his backhand and whispering a word to the officials in the small parlor outside.

Soon, Brian, a tall elven ranger, appeared at the door.

"Your Majesty, the original goddess of nature bless you and your people. Brian gracefully saluted the young king with the knightly salute of the human kingdom.

"Thank you for your blessings, Captain Brianne. Pedi stood up and walked over to the guest couch next to her, "What do you want to drink?"

"Clear tea. ”

Abel Marat, who heard the conversation between the two, immediately instructed his secretary to prepare tea, and the clerk in the corner immediately pulled out a new parchment to record the conversation between the two.

"I'm just representing myself at this meeting. Brian emphasized very seriously.

Pei Di was stunned for a moment and waved his hand to the clerk who was about to record the conversation between the two, "So, please take a seat... Beautiful lady. ”

"Thank you. ”

"You seem to be in a bit distressed. "Pedi is accustomed to taking the initiative in conversation.

Brian looked remorseful, "Yes, because two years ago I messed everything up and plunged the Suke Plains into a two-year-long turmoil, a war that should have been avoided, but because of my negligence..."

"The war has already had a result, and we don't need to mention it again. Pedi interrupted her.

"I—" Brianne's tone froze, "I'm sorry... I really didn't think of it...", she couldn't continue, her mood swings were complicated at this moment.

"Your emotions are very wrong. Peidi suddenly felt that the other party's life force was draining.

"I have gone through nearly three hundred years, I was born when the empire was just established, my research topic is the empire, or the study of the development of your human race, I have been studying the empire since I was an adult, I have witnessed how you have come out of the Suk Plain, developed your civilization to the east of the continent, and watched you build cities in the highland steppe step by step. Brianne didn't pay attention to her lost life force, "and eventually I witnessed her destruction with my own eyes." ”

"What do you want to say?" Peddy used the Holy Power to ease Brian's loss of life force, "What can I do to help you?"

"I want to stay in the city. Brianne said what she was going to do.

"The Kingdom of Krulia welcomes anyone who reciprocates kindness, including elves. Pedi and Brian looked at each other, "But where you are now." ”

"I will fall into a deep sleep, and in the meantime I will seek refuge in General Drahir. Brian stood up and bowed, "Thank you for taking you in, Your Majesty." She went to the middle of the room and saluted the king, "Allow me to take my leave." ”

By the time the steaming tea arrived, Brian had already left.

Pedi looked at the steaming tea and asked in a low voice, "What does she mean by coming this time?"

"No one can guess what elves think, I can't even guess what my grandmother, who is almost seventy years old, let alone elves. Abel Marat responded to the king's question with humor.

Pedi smiled softly, picked up the cup of tea in front of him and smelled the tea, it was very fresh, but in this room without a temperature control circle, he really had no interest in tasting it in this hot summer.

"Who else is out there?" asked Pedy.

"Dempto Bob, who we rescued from prison, and Lord Botlem, and Duke Andy Barrett. Abel Marat pulled out a list of names that he was dizzy to look at, and he only read out three of them.

"Show me that list. Pedi pointed to the list, and when Abel Marat was on the list, he added, "Let Lord Botlem in first." ”

There were more people on the list than yesterday, and Peidi rubbed his temples with a headache, "Looks like we have to prepare another banquet." He said to himself and then put down the list, "Let the secretariat arrange it, and I'm going to have a banquet at Lion Castle in three days." ”

"Yes!" said Abel Marat, solemnly stating the matter.

By this time, Botlem had followed a secretary into the office, "It's hard to see you now, Your Majesty Pedi. The old mage didn't go straight to the reception couch and sat down, picking up the tea that had been served to Brian, "It's not easy to rule this city. ”
