Volume I, Chapter 89

On the pirate ship, Kane returns to find that Ella has disappeared, and she should have arrived home at this time.

In the evening, with a gentle breeze, the Messianic night is very noisy, but it has a different tranquility than the north.

"A night with stars and cicadas is a good time to sort out your mind. "What's the matter? Sorrowful little prince, I see that you have been in a state of distraction for the past two days. Ante walked to the top of the deck before Kane knew it.

Kane's furrowed brow didn't stretch, but continued to stare at the quiet night sky.

A clanging sound shattered the silence on the deck once again.

Looking at the gold coin in front of him, Kane turned his head to look at Ante next to him: "It seems that you are still a trustworthy person." ”

"What I promised may be late, but I never break my promise. "And you're wanted by the Federation, I'll figure out how I can help if I can do anything." ”

"Is there really a way?"

"Try it to find out, isn't this why you saved me?"

"What are your plans?" said Kane, dropping the gold coin on the ground and staring at the night sky.

"I'm leaving tomorrow!" "But I'm going to take one more person with me." ”

"Nicole's captive, the guy named Samier?" Kane turned his head to look at Ante next to him.

"Yes, isn't she a pacifist? she should know very well what it means to capture a federal dignitary. "The ambitious federal ruler of the Rhône Empire has been expecting something out of the ordinary in the South. ”

"It's really a headache political scheme, what good is it for him to start the Civil War, to displace the people, and let the children lose their parents, just to satisfy the ambition of unifying the world. "Kane has always had a bad aversion to scheming.

"You're right, it's to satisfy his ambition to unify the world, so that he can sit on the only throne forged by the Seven Great Powers. ”

Kane and Anteqi turned their heads to look at the people walking behind them.

"Nicole, I thought you were resting. "You used to go to bed very early. Kane said as he looked at the tall woman walking towards them.

"yes, you remember that was before. ”

"Looks like you haven't had a good rest in a long time. Kane looked at the girl whose temperament had changed drastically, and even though she was still the same person she used to be, it felt so strange now.

"It's been a long time, but I'm not here tonight. Nicole turned to Ante, who was narrating, and said.

"Lord Gaia, or Lord Nicole, I don't know what to call you. Ante said as he looked at Nicole.

"In your presence, I will always be Gaia. ”

"Okay, Lord Gaia, do you have any advice?" "Your Southern plan should be completed here this time, right? ”

"You federation don't want to suffer this dumb loss this time. ”

"Oh?

"Of course, the second prince of the Uldaman Empire, His Royal Highness Ante Norrison!"

When Nicole's words fell, Ante's pupils suddenly constricted, "What are you talking about? ”

"Don't play dumb, Ante Norrison, do you think your Uldaman arrangement is seamless?"

"What do you want to say?"

"When you were eleven years old, you quietly entered the federal army under your father's arrangement, and no one in the army knew your identity, and you lived in silence for eight years, and when you were thirteen years old, you finally changed from an obscure private to a non-commissioned officer and became a corporal, and at the age of fifteen, because of your excellent military talent, plus a little merit, you became a second lieutenant under the arrangement of some people, and at the age of eighteen, because of your outstanding merits, you were directly promoted to colonel in charge of the military power of the sixth district, this matter can be hidden from your Federation, but not from me。 ”

"Oh, Lord Gaia's spies are so deeply buried. How can I say it, it's really powerful. After Ante was recognized, he simply stopped pretending to be stupid.

"I don't care what you Odamane Empire are going to do to let you enter the federal army, but now I want to make sure that your federation will not tear up the peace agreement and start a war against the Southern Alliance without authorization because of this matter in a short period of time!"

"Hehe, our ship is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" Kane, who was listening carefully from beginning to end next to him, said at this time, but Kane's words did not attract the attention of the two.

"Then what is Lord Gaia going to do now? Capture me and expose my identity, and then negotiate terms with our Federation? I don't think you can have much information about our Uldaman, you can only make the old men of the Council of Light think that we Uldaman have bad intentions, and besides, who in the three major empires of our Federation can say that they are innocent? It's just that our Uldaman's outstretched hand may be a little deeper. ”

"Oh, do I need to get the word out that you Uldaman has been hoarding troops on the border line of Manro, and that you have been hoarding a large number of spar weapons at Fort Reef in St. Paul?" "Oh yes, and the latest hedron technology that you Uldaman has secretly researched has not been reported to the Federation, but has taken out the research from a few years ago to fool the Federal Assembly. What would happen to Uldaman if I told all of this? I guess the grumpy Dwarven Empire councillor would propose to remove you from the Federation, and the ambitious Rhône Empire would soon find an excuse to eliminate you Uldaman, right?"

"Uldaman has no grievances with you, why are you doing this?" Ante's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Why do you do this? Of course, for the sake of peace, sacrificing the interests of your country of Uldaman, in exchange for peace between the north and the south, so as to save more lives. "Even when you have a certain level of internal strife, our Southern Alliance may not be able to unify the North! When the Union is destroyed, it will be a longer peace in exchange." ”

"You can guarantee that your Southern Alliance is an iron bucket and there are no ill-intentioned people?"

"As long as the Great Lords of the South are around, no one will openly break the peace of the Alliance!" Nicole said categorically.

"What do you want me to do?" said Ante, looking at Nicole in silence, now he couldn't afford not to compromise.

"It's very simple, take your people back, go to the dungeon of your Federation, use your Uldaman's rights, open the seventy-second dungeon of the Federation Empire, let one person out, and then help him escape smoothly. "I believe that you Uldaman Empire can do a good job. ”

"Do you want to cause unrest within the Rhône Empire? and then make them tired and have no time to worry about the South?"

"The more prisoners who escape, the better it will be for you Uldaman, isn't it?" "After all, the more chaotic it is, the less likely it is for them to notice what you're doing, isn't it?"

"Who is locked up in the seventy-second dungeon?" Ante looked at Nicole suspiciously.

"You'll understand when you release him, now you just need to know that if you get him out, there will naturally be chaos within the Rhône Empire. ”

"What if Odamane is discovered?" said Ante in a deep voice.

"When the time comes, you can contribute your latest research weapons to Uldaman, and then put the blame on us in the south. "I believe that the first thing the ambitious Rhône Empire will do after getting its hands on new weapons is to start a war against the South, rather than holding you accountable. As for the Dwarven Empire, they didn't want the Northerners to kill each other, after all, their population was not large compared to the other two empires. ”

"Isn't the war between the North and the South still going to be waged in the end?" said Ante, looking at Nicole puzzled.

"When the time comes, we in the south will naturally have a way to deal with it, so you won't have to worry about it!" said Nicole in a daze.

"Lord Gaia seems to have forgotten something. ”

"You're trying to say that you don't have the right to make decisions for Uldaman?" Nicole said, and casually threw a magic crystal into Ante's hand.

"Your father will naturally agree with everything I have to say. Nicole said as she looked at Ante, whose mouth twitched at this time.

"Lord Gaia's plan is really meticulous! "How long have you been planning in the South?" Ante asked with a self-deprecating smile before looking at Nicole.

The Lord Gaia in front of him didn't mean to reply, and Ante continued: "In the end, you are just delaying for a while for the Southern Alliance on the eve of starting a war, I always thought that you were a peace-loving person, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to start a war!"

"War is only for a longer peace!"

"You can only see what's inside the crystal once!" Nicole said as Ante turned to leave.

"Hehe, Lord Gaia, you really don't believe in me!" Ante faded away in a self-deprecating voice.

Looking at the figure of Ante leaving, Kane turned his head to look at Nicole next to him: "Lord Gaia's methods are really amazing, I calculated a circle, but I didn't expect that even the underworld group was the fuse for you to start the war from beginning to end, and it was the victim of your provocation of disputes." ”

Looking at Kane with an angry face, Nicole opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

"I didn't expect you to become like this after you left, to become a conspirator who manipulates power and calculates others. High up in the sky, Lord Gaia!"

"No, Kane, you listen to me explain, it's a pure accident that the Black Thieves will take over this mission, I never wanted to harm everyone, the Black Thieves are a second home for me, everyone is my relatives, I won't harm you no matter what. ”

"Accident, but that's true, isn't it?" "Yes, you won't harm everyone, so you appeared in Ruhr City disguised as a black-robed man and reversed the direction of the mission. But what if it's someone else who takes over the task? Are you just going to let them go according to your plan and then fall victim to you, step by step!"

"This move you made to deal with Ante is also a recent plan, right? If you hadn't found out that it was our black thieves who took over the task, you wouldn't have done it again, would you?
