Section 28 Gambling Warfare

"Takeshi Sanada, the envoy of the Eastern Kingdom of Monrok, and Natsuyanagi Oda, the only son of the Emperor of Kyogo Province...... Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Free Empire!" the members of the emissary group only bent slightly and bowed. A kind of 'attendant' behind them all knelt on the ground and held the gift box in their hands high.

"Bold! When the envoys of the subject countries came to see His Majesty, they dared not kneel!" En' Bo Li shouted angrily.

"Forty years ago, I, the Oriental Kingdom, broke away from the status of a subject of the Free Empire. If our two countries are on an equal footing, how can we come to see us? At the behest of His Majesty the Emperor, we have come to establish friendly and cooperative relations with the Empire of Freedom. Of course, you don't have to bow down to your emperor!" said the dwarf-like Sanada Takekuchi with his head held high, and he defended in a hearty manner.

Beside him was a slender young man with dark eyes, and the whole group of emissaries was led by the two of them. Then this young man must be Prince Oda Natsuyanagi.

"Hmph! You Oriental countries have always been vassals of our Free Empire, how can you ever have any equal relations?" Bernard stomped his foot and walked out of the queue angrily. It seems that this time the envoy of Monrok did not come with friendly intentions, but also wanted to establish himself as a king of an island country!

"Then I would like to ask this lord, is there a subject country that can not be seen with tribute for forty years?" Sanada Takechi, apparently 'confident', replied proudly.

"Since the founding of my own empire, you Mengrock Island Country has taken the initiative to bow down. My founding emperor remembered that it was not easy for you to wait on the island, and I didn't want to embarrass you. In the past forty years, you have not come to pay tribute without permission, and my emperor is merciful, and he does not 'want' to hold you and others accountable, but this does not mean that you can get rid of your vassal status!" Berner retorted unceremoniously.

"There is some truth in what this lord said, in the past, my Oriental Kingdom was indeed a subject of the Free Empire. Sanada Takechi was not in a hurry, but Prince Oda Natsuyanagi on the side snorted coldly.

"But the relationship between the master and the client is not something that cannot be changed after it is reached. Before, our Oriental country was small and weak, and it was natural to bow down to your free empire......" Before Sanada Takeshi finished speaking, En'bo' Li in front of the stage couldn't hold it anymore and interrupted:

"Could it be that today your Oriental Kingdom is considered a country and a strong people?"

"Although our country's territory is far less vast than that of the Free Empire, if you want to talk about strength, you and others are not inferior!" Sanada Takeshi looked around arrogantly, and said loudly in a very arrogant tone: "I heard that the Free Empire has a so-called 100-person battle list, and we in the Oriental Kingdom also have a secret list of 100 people! In my opinion, your battle list masters may not be as strong as our secret list! Although you and other soldiers are numerous, but we have the protection of the strait, if your country really wants to go to war with us, it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be said!"

These words can be described as extremely arrogant, and they have already 'provoked' the anger of everyone present. Many members of the Knights stepped forward to draw their swords and teach this group of emissaries of the island country who did not know the height of the sky.

"Stop!" said Niland, who said in a low voice, obviously furious at the sight of his ugly face. However, in order to maintain the majesty of the emperor, he asked quietly for the time being: "Could it be that your emperor sent you and others to declare war?"

"My Majesty the Emperor remembers that the two countries have always had good relations, so I do not want to embarrass the Empire of Freedom. As long as you agree to the few conditions put forward by our country, then we will refuse the alliance request of the Holy Light Empire, and if necessary, we can resist the attack of the Holy Light Empire for the Free Empire in the East China Sea!" Sanada Takechi was triumphant, and his mouth was full of spittle.

He's prepared for it. He also knows a little about the history of the 'war' between the Free Empire and the Holy Light Empire, it has always been the invasion of the Holy Light Empire, and he has never seen the Free Empire take the initiative to attack. If you think about the Free Empire, you must be afraid of the Holy Light Empire. After hearing this news, the emperor of the Free Empire must have been very afraid!

They are tired of dealing with a Holy Light Empire, and with the army of our Oriental Country, the Free Empire can't resist it!

However, helping the Holy Light Empire invade the Free Empire did not do the Oriental Kingdom much good. The terms they promised were too far away to know if they would actually destroy the empire of freedom. That's why His Majesty the Wise Emperor sent us to the Free Empire to see if we could get more benefits in exchange...... On the condition of the alliance, presumably the free empire must compromise with us!

And if the two countries fight to lose, they can also take the opportunity to choose some cheap. Rather than sending an army to participate in the war, it is more comfortable to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight......

Niland's face twitched on the high platform, and the news really surprised him.

It seems that as Harry predicted, within five years, the Holy Light Empire will definitely make a big move. If Monrok was still as strong as before, he could ignore them, and only needed a deterrent 'sex' force to defend the East China Sea.

However, judging from the current situation, for some reason, many masters have suddenly emerged from the people of Monrok Island! The strength of this envoy group alone should not be underestimated, and it is believed that Monrok sent them to demonstrate!

The other party seems to have been planning for a long time, and this time he summoned himself to deal with it carefully......

"Do you think your little island nation is qualified to negotiate terms with me?" said Niland, holding back his anger.

"Eligibility...... In order to prove that our Oriental country is qualified enough for your country to make concessions, why don't we make a bet?" Sanada Takechi said with confidence: "This time we have come to envoy your country, and ten of them are famous masters of our country's dark list. Presumably, there are also many masters from your country present, so we will both come to have a competition, and if you lose, then you must agree to our conditions. ”

"Hmph, what's the condition? Let's hear it!" Nilander pondered for a long time, if the Holy Light Empire really prepared to invade, I am afraid it would not be as easy to deal with as before. At such a time, it is indeed inappropriate to have a 'relationship' with Monroc. If they really have the same strength as the masters of the battle list, they may really have to make some concessions. As long as the conditions are not too excessive, you can consider it!

"First of all, the area of eight hundred miles in the interior of the East China Sea is divided into the concessions of our Oriental Kingdom......" Sanada Takeshi said a lot, but the face of Niland above had already changed drastically, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Generally speaking, Monrocti's condition was that a large area of the East China Sea should be designated as a dependency of the Oriental Empire, and although it was still nominally part of the Free Empire, the Free Empire had no right to administer it. Moreover, the Free Empire also has to provide a large amount of food and materials to the Oriental Kingdom in the name of trade every year, in exchange for some sea specialties that are not rare in the Monrok Island Country, such as pearls, agate, coral, etc., even if these specialties are converted according to the price of luxury goods of the Free Empire, they are definitely not as valuable as the items taken out by the Free Empire.

In addition, if the Orientals enter the territory of the empire, they must enjoy the VIP treatment. If there is a crime or violation, it must also be 'handed over' to the Oriental Kingdom for disposal, and the Free Empire is not allowed to dispose of the Oriental people without authorization. It means that the Free Empire is fully open to the Oriental Kingdom, and the Oriental people enjoy higher treatment in the Free Empire than the residents of the Empire, but Monrok Island has added many restrictions to the residents of the Free Empire.

"Hubris!" Nilander finally couldn't take it anymore.

"These conditions are not difficult for Your Majesty to achieve...... Once His Majesty the Emperor decides to join forces with the Holy Light Empire, the Freedom Empire will only lose more!"

"Just now you just said that if we lose, we will agree to your terms. And what if we win?" Berner is relatively calm, there are countless masters present, although the top few are not here today, but presumably there should be no problem dealing with the so-called dark list masters of Monroke!

"Your chances of winning are almost zero!, but if you really can win against our Dark Warriors, we'll turn around and go back to Monrok and refuse the invitation of the Holy Light Empire!" replied Sanada confidently.

Although it is not clear why the Orientals are so sure, Berner is also calculating. He laughed sarcastically: "How do you 'want' compete?"

"We each sent a couple of people on the pitch for a one-on-one fight. There is no limit to the number of battles each person can fight, but once they lose, they must be eliminated. The winning team is reserved and can participate in the later matches. In short, whichever side loses first, the other side wins!" Sanada Takechi's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, as if some 'yin' plot was brewing.

However, Berner was also happy to hear it. Harry is currently in the Imperial Capital, and with him, even if the rest of the people lose, he must be able to turn the tide. Compared to one-on-one battles, this kind of game is more valuable to Harry's strength.

Bernard and Nelander discussed it carefully, and then made a decision!

"How many men will we send from each side?" asked Nylander.

"Since we have proposed the way of the game, the number of people will be determined by you!" Sanada Takeshi replied generously, seeing the reaction of the Monrok mission, Berner was very keenly thinking, it seems that the other party must also have a killer feature!

However, Harry was already the second best player in the empire after Grom at this time. Grom can't represent the Free Empire in the Oakland Mountains at the moment, so he can only count on Harry. I believe he shouldn't lose......

Bernard and Nilander sent men to the Earl's Court to invite Harry to come and deliberate.

"Harry doesn't know when he'll be here, and before that, we'll need to send a few masters to fight each other. I weighed the number of masters on our side and felt that it was most appropriate to send five people to fight. Berner suggested.

"The strongest ones here are probably En'boli, Caesar, Kiru and Kerr, and on the magician side, there are Madiwen and Master Alan, as well as His Royal Highness Ashley, but without 'figuring' the other party's reality, it is not too suitable for all of them to participate. Leave three buffer places, and when the time comes, it will be temporarily adjusted, and the certainty will be greater. Berner analyzed slowly.

"But how do you decide on a quota of five people now? You can't just apply for eight people and replace them temporarily, right?"

"We can use the excuse that there are still no experts coming, and we are not sure of the quota for the time being. I see that the other party has a 'chest' and will not refuse our request. Bernard said confidently.

"That's it!" Nylander nodded.
