Chapter 732: Turning Enemies into Friends
"It seems that they have no intention of doing it today. ”
Semiramis was standing on the balcony of the castle, bowing his head slightly, watching the end of the auction in the distance, where Decalion made a deal with Alice, and the two of them completed the deal in full view.
Cheers rang out like a torrent, the dragons in the sky let out a roar of excitement, and after the auction was over, it was time for the celebration of the performances, and the actors who had been prepared for the show put on their costumes and performed opera in the streets.
All the bards received invitations from the Empire, and they were paid handsomely to tell the stories of heroes as much as they could, where the crowds gathered.
The taverns in Jutland have set up tables and chairs in the streets, like an assembly line, and all kinds of delicious food and drinks have been placed on the tables, which are at the mercy of the crowd, and of course casual waste is not allowed, even for foreigners, who must abide by the customs and regulations of the Baltic Empire.
The carnival banquet does not mean the invalidation of habits and regulations, and here in the Baltic Empire, these two things will not fail at any time, whether it is for the nobles and commoners at home, or for unfamiliar outsiders.
Today, all the expenses are paid for by the Empire, and people need to open their stomachs and enjoy these delicacies, entertainment and conviviality, which is a unique feast of the Northland, and it is the favorite program of the Northlanders.
In a grand festival, after a victory, or just find a reason of whatever, the people of the Northland can hold a banquet, but usually the banquet is only small-scale, and it is the first time that the whole city has fallen into a carnival banquet like today.
Outsiders are very new to such feasts, and occasionally feasts are held in their countries and tribes, such as on the occasion of great victories or on important festivals.
However, there will be no such entertainment everywhere, and free drinks everywhere that can be used at will, which is an extremely difficult test for every country, and the rulers and kings of other countries will never spend so much money to make the people happy.
They preferred a banquet in the royal palace where relatives and nobles were gathered for the purpose of a political task, rather than simply to celebrate something or to have a happy revelry.
Of course, the army of the Baltic Empire is still on alert, and the more times like this, the more vigilant it becomes, and the strength of the Baltic Empire in the north has given it countless enemies.
Maybe they don't dare to engage in a head-on conflict with the Baltic Empire in normal times, but at such a time, it is okay to create some contradictions and carry out some small damage, and it is difficult to detect and track down.
No one noticed that some of the people who conducted the auction had been buried in this land forever, but because of Hassan's disguise, especially the one who was able to separate hundreds of clones and change his face.
After that, it is estimated that it will create some contradictions, and the Baltic Empire will take the initiative to create attacks, take the initiative to create contradictions, and then sweep some hostile people into it, and control the dangers and contradictions in their own hands.
The other Hassan is also hidden in all corners of this banquet, and they will secretly take action to solve some possible accidents, without being discovered and not affecting the progress of this banquet.
"Semiramis, that's not necessarily. ”
Alice was next to Semiramis and said, Alice is not very optimistic about this matter, this is determined by her character, she is a cautious person, no matter what kind of things are, she likes to think about the worst, to conceive, to prepare.
This is her second doppelganger, and the other one is still presiding over the celebration below, as the master of the Baltic Empire, only she can calm the scene at this time and let this banquet go smoothly.
Because this time she needs to receive, but Pharaoh Tutankhame and the Divine Son of Dicalion, two guests with similar status and status to her...... The premise is that Tutankhame can't see through her disguise.
No, even if Tutanka Meng saw through her disguise and found out that she was the enemy she had been looking for, she would not have exposed Alice's identity at this time and this place and attacked her.
Her attack here will indeed affect the carnival of the Baltic Empire, which is celebrated to celebrate the smooth holding of the auction, but on the other hand, she needs to deal with all the armies of the Baltic Empire, which are mixed with unknown legends
Yes, she is indeed very strong, with the title of the strongest pharaoh, but she is not stupid, so she directly faces a powerful country, all the strong people, and it is still on the opponent's home turf.
How stupid it would be to make that choice
"Tutankhamen and Deutcarion, they didn't come at the right time. ”
"However, when they came here at this time, they were attracted by our auction, but it was an auction that could speed up the completion of our plan, and even the Pharaoh and the Divine Son were attracted to the auction, and there will be more people with this status in the next year's auction. ”
In the original plan, there were no characters like Tutankhame and Deucalion, and without their interference, this auction held by the Baltic Empire had Alice's finale, and in any way, there could be no surprise.
Pharaohs like Tutankhame are no longer ordinary kings, they are characters who can stand in the same position as Alice in status, and the son of Prometheus, Decalion, is not much inferior.
"Tutanka Moe's purpose was clear from the beginning, she would not be our enemy until you were exposed. ”
Semiramis added.
"Don't be so optimistic, Semiramis. ”
Alice shook her head, a rare melancholy on her face, as if the moon was hidden by dark clouds.
"Have you forgotten what happened in the Assyrian Empire, and she was the same then, and didn't she participate in the attack on us?"
Alice had to admit that the blue rock giant summoned by Tutankhame was a huge trouble, and the existence called the giant god soldier was definitely not inferior to the trouble of the Beamon giant beast
If it is thrown into the battlefield, it is almost equal to no solution
"It was a different time than now, when she was on the side of the Assyrian Empire, there was some agreement between Egypt and the Assyrian Empire, and Egypt did not want to see Assyria simply decline. ”
"Egypt is more worried about the rising Persia and Uruk than about the unsettled Assyria, whose civil strife has not yet completely subsided and has no way to deal with external threats. ”
Semiramis is analysing the previous situation.
"Now this is the Baltic Empire, which belongs to us, and because of geography, we will not have any conflict with Egypt, on the contrary, Egypt, weakened by the civil war, needs our cheap goods to cope with the war, and at the same time they need to open up new markets to consume the spoils of war. ”
"Tutankhame's arrival here is a good thing for us. ”
"She is the pharaoh of Egypt, and she is the strongest pharaoh of our time, and she has a very important voice in Egypt, and we can sell goods to Egypt through our contact with her. ”
Semiramis calmly analyzed that after removing the possibility that she might become an enemy, the arrival of Tutanka Meng could give the Baltic Empire a lot of benefits and open up a market for the ongoing war.
Although the Baltic Empire had a large number of profitable goods, the real pillar industries were weapons and equipment, as well as consumables for war.
The industrialization of the country has made these outputs redundant, and the wars in the Northlands are no longer able to consume the output of the Baltic Empire, and in the rest of the main plane, there are no brutal battles at this stage.
Therefore, Egypt, which is still engaged in civil war and is still preparing for more brutal wars, has become a very good trade object for the Baltic Empire, or a pasture for dumping products and shearing sheep.
With the methods of the Baltic Empire, or more precisely, the trade methods that Isemiramis learned from Alice, and the blue means of trade, the rulers of Egypt would have waged even more brutal wars with the high-quality weapons they had bought cheaply from the Baltic Empire.
Just like the various small-scale wars that are taking place in the Celtic Isles now, even if Ulster seems to be not far from the death of the country, in fact, with the participation of the Baltic Empire, the country of Ulster will continue to breathe, leaving the last breath and not swallowing.
Because if Ulster simply dies like this, then these weapons and equipment of the Baltic Empire and the consumables of the war will not be easy to sell, and if there is no war, then the Baltic Empire will not have so much income.
As the saying goes, if there is no war, then all arms dealers will go bankrupt
From this point of view, the Baltic Empire is a warmonger specializing in war trafficking, and in order to be able to dump goods, he will do everything he can, and almost all the wars in the North are related to this country.
"Don't think of Tutanka as an idiot, she was able to become the strongest pharaoh of our time, not only because of the favor and gifts from the gods, but also because of her wisdom. ”
Alice was silent for a moment.
"She has been wandering in the main plane for a long time, has traveled many places, and has seen many countries and peoples, but you can see that she rarely comes into conflict with others. ”
"An impulsive and arrogant king, even in someone else's land, will never put away his arrogance, and will inevitably have irreconcilable contradictions and violent conflicts with the equally arrogant king. ”
That's right, although Alice didn't name or emphasize it, but the impulsive, arrogant, and arrogant king she was talking about at this time was referring to the king called Gilgamesh, who had seen and had a fierce and violent conflict.
It is an absolute tyrant, a tyrant who is centered on his own consciousness, never considers the feelings of others, and relies on his own powerful power to implement his own consciousness.
"I understand, I'll pay attention to that, she's the strongest Pharaoh anyway. ”
Semiramis nodded, agreeing with Alice's statement and admitting her mistake.
"What about Decalion, it seems that his arrival is not as simple as we imagined, the task given to him by their gods, he has no intention of acting. ”
"That's why he's more troublesome, his father's name, Prometheus's name, is indeed not very loud among the gods, not a powerful god, but definitely not a god to ignore. ”
Alice, who had heard of Prometheus, had heard of it, but it was a very plain and simple, wise and prophetic deity.
Such an evaluation should not appear in the body of a god, and it is still a god who can survive the purge of Zeus without being affected in any way, no matter how you think about it, it will make people feel amazing.
In the end, he should have reached some agreement with Tutankhame, otherwise Tutankhame would never have given up the clay tablet like this. ”
Semiramis mentioned the last auction, and the two communicated directly.
"Well, there must be some kind of communication. ”
After all, the clay tablet was related to some gods in the Nile god system, and Tutankhame had no reason to give up the opportunity to get the clay tablet because of Deukalion's words.
"There is no connection between Decalion and Tutankhame, their background, status, and past situation do not show that there is a relationship between them. ”
Alice said with a deep groan.
"Tutankhame and Deutcalion should not be our enemies. ”
Alice came to such a conclusion.
Semiramis didn't ask why, because she felt the same way.
At this moment, a strange look suddenly appeared on Alice's face, and she turned to look at the place where her other body was, where Tutankhame and Deucalion found her at the same time.
"What's wrong?"
Semiramis asked strangely when he saw that there was something wrong with Alice's face.
"Deutcarion and Tutankhame found me. ”
"It seems that they can't wait a little bit. ”
