Section 43

The more than 300-year-old hatred between humans and orcs is not something that can be completely eliminated in just a few years and a few commercial trades. The most important thing is that in the War of the Three Clans more than 300 years ago, the empire was not decided on a frontal battlefield, but relied on 'betrayal'!

Now, although the relationship between the two sides has been initially repaired, and they have not had to draw their swords as they met before, they are not good enough to trust each other. Today, humans and orcs are still wary of each other, and the orcs are afraid that the humans will suddenly attack after the end of the war with the undead legions, as they did more than three hundred years ago, and the humans are not afraid that the orcs will follow what they did three hundred years ago.

However, the future war with the undead legions is not a problem that can be solved in a short time. Pedi is no longer the lord of Crewe City, as the ruler of the human world, he no longer needs to use intrigues to divide anyone, what he needs now is... Unite.

Similarly, Shikan-Silveraxe is fed up with mutual deception, and he wants to build an alliance he can trust, and end the invasion of the undead army as soon as possible to get everything back on track, rather than wasting a lot of time in endless suspicions.

For this reason, Shikan-Silver Axe personally went to Suk City with the dignity of the Khan King, such a move was originally with sincerity, and Peidi could only welcome his arrival with sincerity.

"I really want to be able to live in peace with the orcs. Pedi took a deep breath, "Five years of war, from the division of the empire to the invasion of the undead legions, have caused us all to suffer, and I have seen too many hellish scenes during this time, and I hope that in the future my subjects can enjoy peace and every family can live in peace." ”

"Your Majesty is merciful. "Bavi sincerely admires that a diplomat was born and spent most of his life in lies and deception with all nations, and he did all this precisely for peace!

"I'm just too tired to fight anymore. Pedi chuckled under his breath and filed the file on the table in front of him.

Bavi looked at the filed documents and knew that the king didn't want to continue the issue. So, he was silent for a few seconds in a pensive manner, and then said, "Your Majesty, there is also news from the Misha Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom that their envoys will also arrive in Suke City in ten days. ”

"Huh?" Peidi knew very well that Bavi would not specifically bring out this reported matter, and he waited for the other party's next words.

"Last night, General Dori came to my office and he told me... Will the city of Sukh welcome the arrival of General Sethrandil?" Baron Bavi subconsciously kept his words low.

"General Thrandil?" he was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to say something, he turned his head to look at the clerk and asked the clerk to stop recording and stood up, "General Thrandir visiting Suke City?"

"Yes, General Dory's language is almost explicit. Baron Bavi replied firmly.

Pedi walked to the window of the office and looked at the hot Suke City under the scorching sun, "What do you think General Thranduil is planning to do?" The meeting that is about to begin, its predecessor is actually the 'summit' initiated by Pedi a few years ago, and the elven kingdom at that time was in the absolute leadership position of the continent, and more importantly, after this 'summit', Pedi will hold a heavy coronation ceremony.

It's not that Pedi doesn't welcome General Thrandil, but he is a little surprised by General Thrandil's arrival, and his mind will subconsciously think about the purpose of his visit.

"The Elven Kingdom is different from all the other power kingdoms, they originally had the opportunity to unify and integrate all the regions of the Eastern Continent except for the Kru Territory and the Highland Steppe Accident, and threaten the Kruria Kingdom with this. Baron Bavi told him about the history of the elves over the past few years.

Pedi nodded thoughtfully, at the time of the fall of the empire, his coronation was more to deal with the possible attack of the elven kingdom, and the military department urgently formulated several sets of plans to defend against the invasion of the elven kingdom.

"Since the undead legion ravaged the continent of Alan, the elves have taken the initiative to lift the state of war between our two countries, quickly signed an alliance agreement with us, and also sent General Drahir to help the kingdom deal with the undead legions. Baron Bavi said slowly: "The friendship between our two countries has been tempered by war and time... In the past few years, the Elven Kingdom has spared no effort to meet our requirements. ”

"However, there is only a temporary alliance agreement between our two countries, more precisely a 'coalition agreement'. "Now, General Thranduil intends to come to Suke City in person, in addition to the upcoming decisive battle with the Undead Legion, and probably to sign a formal diplomatic document with us, so that the friendship between our two countries can be confirmed in writing. ”

Although the relationship between the elven king and the kingdom of Kruria has been good in the past few years, as Baron Bavi said, there is only high-level exchange, and there is no binding treaty between the two countries, which causes almost no low-level communication between the two countries, and even now the kingdom of Kruria can only smuggle the goods of the elf king and the kingdom of Misha, rather than real commercial trade.

Over the past few years, Pedi has tried to formally negotiate a treaty with the Elven Kingdom many times, but every invitation he sends out has been ignored by the Elven Kingdom, and every time he asks Drahir, the reply he receives is... The Elven Kingdom is not in the habit of alliing with other nations.

"The Empire had always wanted to conclude a treaty with the Elves, but in the end it had only signed a trade pact fifty years ago. Bavi looked extremely excited, "And now, the Elven Kingdom has taken the initiative to come to the door and want to conclude an alliance with us. ”

"With the alliance treaty with the elves, we will have an absolute advantage in the diplomatic situation of the entire continent. Bavi, who was born as a diplomat, was genuinely happy about the matter, but regretted that he could not personally participate in the subsequent negotiations.

"Are you sure that the elves won't sign the same covenant with the orcs?" was Pedi's concern.

"No!" Bavi said firmly.

"Why?"

"What the elven kingdom wants is the stability of the continent, and we are the key to the stability of the continent. ”

"You didn't waste that much time in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Pedi grinned.

Bavi smiled modestly at the king's compliment.

"Half a year after the port of Yekjar, the original intention of the Danediv family to build this port can finally be realized. Pedi smiled slightly, "We should welcome General Thrandil's arrival." He turned his head to look at Baron Bavi, a sincere smile on his face, "You go talk to General Dory again, no... You contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly to send an invitation to General Thrandier. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The smile on Baron Bavi's face was even more pronounced.

Pedy's mood changed for a better moment, and he returned to his desk and pulled out the cigar in the drawer, looking at Baron Bavi, "Don't divulge this until you have any definite information." ”

"Understood!"

"After General Thranduil's official reply, you can send someone to the Elven Kingdom to contact them first to confirm their plans, remember... Early contact with you represents the city of Suke, not the entire kingdom. ”

"Understood!"

"Once you have settled on it, you immediately hand it over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Pedi's face suddenly became serious, "After that, you have to do everything in your power to spread the word that General Thrandir is about to arrive in Suke City." ”

Baron Bavi replied for a few seconds this time, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Pedi clearly sensed Baron Bavi's unwillingness, but he didn't explain much, "If there is nothing else, you go down and get busy first, remember... The meeting in Hattis and the arrival of Thrandir are your next priorities, and you'll have to make sure there are no surprises. ”

"Yes!" Baron Bavi took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the disdain in his heart, bowed and slowly retreated, and soon exited the office.

Pedi looked at Bavi as he left, and didn't withdraw his gaze until the other party had completely walked out of the office.

"The war in Felder Territory is really interesting. After muttering to himself, he picked up the ignition stick and baked the cut cigar.

After a few comfortable puffs of his cigar, Peddy had to refocus on the piled up papers on his desk and take out the top one from it.

This is a case report from the police headquarters, looking at the seal of Baron Hannina on the cover of the document, Pedi guessed the specific content of this report, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily appeared a small smile.

Pedi didn't open the document for the first time, he moved his eyes to the other documents piled up next to him waiting for him to flip through them, and as expected, the Baron Hannina's report was followed by a government investigation document.

"Click" Pedi crushed the seal on the seal of the government investigation document and took out some of the thick documents inside.

At the front of the document is a file, the file of Baron Hanina, and the contents of this investigation report are about the police station!

In the year following the rebellion in the royal capital, the prestige of the police station within the kingdom grew. Especially in the minds of the lower classes, Baron Hanina's personal prestige surpasses that of the royal family.

Although Pedi was keen to believe in Baron Hanina's loyalty, he believed in the more straightforward investigative report.

As the economic power of the royal capital became stronger and stronger, the middle class increased, and the number of commoner tycoons increased rapidly because most of the nobles were suppressed last year. These people, who became rich, began to be dissatisfied with their current social status in the kingdom, and took out their tax records to apply to become the new nobles of the kingdom.

For this reason, the prime minister's government has raised the threshold for becoming an aristocrat five times in the past six months.

Contradictions arise naturally!

With the crackdown of last year, and the spread of the kingdom's laws among the middle class, wealthy commoners suddenly realized that there was nothing to fear from aristocrats.

The coercion and mystery of the aristocracy had been lost, and the status of the courts and police stations had risen dramatically over the past year.

At the very end of this report, there are two very special magical photos.

In the first photo, Hannina is holding a bloody war hammer aloft with countless nobles lying in pools of blood at her feet, and behind her are countless excited police officers. The second photograph is of the main street in the outer city, where the protagonist is still Hanina, sitting on a war horse with a smile on her face, surrounded by countless citizens who have bowed to her and saluted, with smiles and humility on their faces.

Seeing these two photos, Pedi suddenly remembered the words of a nobleman who was executed by him: When the commoners no longer fear the nobles, your reign will also come to an end.

"Royaltyβ€”" Pedi's newfound good mood vanished as he gently rubbed his swollen and aching head. Although he now has supreme royal power, he can suppress the power of the nobility and also suppress popular discontent, but he cannot be an enemy of all the people in the kingdom.

The new law of the kingdom is to serve the rapid development of the trade economy, and the rapid development of the trade economy will certainly stimulate the people's minds, and most of the social wealth will definitely flow to the hands of the people at the bottom.

This is something that cannot be avoided in the development of the kingdom, and if you want to avoid it, you can only suppress social progress!

Thankfully, this is only happening in a few big cities in the royal capital and Crewe, but Pedi won't let it continue.

"Sir Bipp is out there, right?" said Peedy, looking up at his Secretary-General, Wolfmar.

Wolf Ma subconsciously looked at the magic clock in the room, "Sir Bipp has spoken to you now. ”

"Let him in. ”

"Yes!"

When Wolfma went to open the door, Pedi opened the report that Hannina had submitted.

As he expected, the report was a case file for Daisily Pombo, detailing how Daisily Pombo used his power to embezzle military funds and participate in smuggling during the Orc War and as Prime Minister.

At the end of the report, Baron Hannina even pointed out that Daisily Pombo had been involved in the rebellion of the royal capital and had plotted with Duke Andy Barrett to conquer the eastern territories of the kingdom.

Reading the report, Pedi felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a rotten egg.

"This Marquis of Pombo, his courage is really great. Pedi looked up at Sir Bipp, who was already waiting at his desk.

"I didn't expect Marquis Pombo to do this, he was so proud and so righteous before. Bipp seemed to be saying nice things about his old boss, but when he listened closely, he felt sarcastic.

"It's a good thing there's Baron Hanina, otherwise we'd all be deceived by him. Pedi smiled and pointed to the chair in front of his desk, "Sit down. ”

Bipp sat down slowly and said: "Yes, the police department, under the leadership of Baron Hanina, supervises the crime problem in the entire kingdom, and no one can escape the law, let alone touch the bottom line of the law. ”

"You're right... But I don't think Daisily Pombo's case is that simple, and I will order Baron Hannina to continue the investigation of this case, and the Prime Minister's government will do everything in its power to assist Baron Hanina. ”
