Chapter 160: Expedition to the Abyss
"Hehe, Marquis of Vismar is really an impatient. Princeton smiled flatly, then nodded, "In that case, let's start talking about going out to the abyss."www.biquge.info ”
"Going to the Abyss, why are we provoking the Abyss?" Princeton could finish before one of the orc lords of Sunset Territory questioned angrily.
"Okay, Viscount Ahan, your brain can't be flooded?All the obsidian temples in the entire Blanca continent have almost been captured by the abyss - the war has broken out!"
"What's the matter with me? Hey, according to me, if you want to blame those people in the Star Soul Hall for being so incompetent! Even the vital temple was attacked by the demons of the abyss, and now they still have the face to stand up and yell at us?" The orc named Ahan glared at the viscount who belonged to Lei Man's territory with a sneer, his rough face full of disdain.
"Although the Obsidian Temple really has little to do with you orcs, and it doesn't have much to do with us dwarves, don't forget that we are also a member of the Federation! When facing foreign enemies, we should advance and retreat together!" At this time, a dwarven viscount in the Chiyan Territory also stood up, his voice was loud, his face was red, and he looked like he was blushing and his neck was thick.
"Well, what is the noise. Seeing that there was a tendency to become more and more noisy, Stader spoke up, his voice calm and imposing. And when Stade spoke, whether it was the orc lord named Ahan, or the other human lords and dwarf lords, they were all silent—the strong are always awe-inspiring, especially the top powerhouses like Stard, who are in a high position and have outstanding military achievements******
"The Abyss has ill intentions towards our Federation, the Valley of the Dawn, and the entire continent of Blanca, that is a given. We are gathered here today to discuss a solution to the demons of the Abyss, and as for the expedition to the Abyss, that is also within the scope of our discussion. When he looked around, whenever he saw Stade looking at him, most of the councillors couldn't help but bow their heads slightly, as if they didn't dare to look directly at him; when they looked at Leech, they saw the young man staring at him calmly, and Stader smiled rarely, and said, "This must be the Viscount of Black Wind, right? I wonder if Viscount Black Wind can tell me what he thinks?"
Being named by Stader in public, to be honest, Leitch was really a little stunned, but he was also surprised, and then he slowly straightened up and considered: "As the Grand Duke said, the Abyss has ill intentions towards us, this is certain, and the capture of the Obsidian Temple is only the first step in their plan, they must still be brewing some big moves." And I think there is probably a black hand hidden behind this, this black hand comes from the layers of the abyss, and what is the ultimate goal, we don't know these things, so I think we should be cautious. And I also feel that we have to guard against the Karachi in the north and the Roland in the south,"
Leitch's words are not very clever, but they are also realistic, and he has pointed out some key issues, and he really puts the question of how to deal with the abyss on everyone's table.
"I agree with what Viscount Black Wind said, in the case of the enemy in the dark, we should not take action lightly, at least we must first find out what the enemy's purpose is. Grenor, Marquis of Sunset, glanced at Leitch and grinned.
"The old man also thinks that we should be cautious and should not use swords and soldiers. Oban of the Marquis of the Stars opened his slightly closed eyes and spoke.
"What's there to be cautious about? Since those demons have provoked us, of course we have to fight back! Are we going to be laughed at by those abyssal scum as shrunken turtles? Hey, or are you orcs all cowards?" said Visma, Marquis of Chiyan, after taking another sip of ale, glaring at Grenor defiantly.
"Hey, do we have any orcs, your relatives Storm Dwarves know best!" Grenor glared back at Wismar with a weird smile - to be honest, when Grenor laughed, it was a bit of a horror******
"Your whole family is related to those storm dwarves!" "Vismar glared at Grenor angrily, as if he was still on the urge to smash the metal goblet in his hand at the orc marquis. However, realizing that what was in front of him was only a magic projection after all, Wismar finally didn't really throw the wine glass out.
Orcs and dwarves are not in harmony, there is a consensus on the continent, especially the storm dwarves and the orcs of the realm of the Seven Kings, it is normal to pinch them as soon as they meet- The orcs in the realm of the Seven Kings are undoubtedly very aggressive, but because of the strange geography of the Blanca continent, for the orcs in the west, the Dawn Valley in the eastern continent is too far away, and the nearby Bird Swamp and the blood-colored wasteland are almost the same as the forbidden land for them; 。 However, if you want to break through the city of the Storm Dwarves, the difficulty is not much lower for the orcs in the realm of the Seven Kings than gnawing on the turtle shell*******
"Since we disagree on this, let us vote in a way that is acceptable to all -- those who are in favor of going out to the abyss with their left hand, and those who are not in favor of raising their right hand. As he spoke, Stadder raised his left hand.
Voting may seem like the most primitive and fair way of doing so, but in reality it is not, because the votes here are not counted by head - 1 for the baron, 5 for the viscount, 10 for the count, and 100 for the marquis and duke!
In other words, once more than eight of the Ten Lords reach a consensus, then a decision is made, and the Ten Lords also have a veto power, which means that even if all the members of the Council except the Ten Lords want to pass a decision, as long as one of the Ten Lords is not happy, then the proposal will still not pass - it can be seen that although the Dawson Free Federation claims to be "free", it is actually far less free*******
The final result of the vote was - Marquis Grenor of Sunset, Marquis of Starpicking Auburn, and most of the councillors of Sunset Territory and Starpicking Territory voted against, Leitch also voted against, Marquis of Giant Wood Christina abstained, and the remaining lords and councilors voted mostly in favor - that is, it was imperative to go to the Abyss******
Things eventually went in a direction that Regge didn't expect - for several human lords to have the intention of going to the abyss, this is understandable, after all, the Obsidian Temple is indeed the most important thing for humans, and those abyss demons want to capture the Obsidian Temple, that is, they want to destroy the foundation of the future of mankind, so it is natural for the major human lords to want to return the color.
However, the Red Rock Territory and the Silver Sail Territory also voted in favor, and the meaning of this is worth digging into - to put it mildly, the quality of the Obsidian Temple really has no effect on these dwarves and the Sea Clan, and the Red Rock Territory is easy to say, because the dwarves in the Red Rock Territory have a faint posture of advancing and retreating with the Wind Capital Territory, so it is not surprising that they are now on the same side as Stad.
But the attitude of the Silversail Territory is strange - to be honest, as far as Leitch knows, the attitude of the Adelaide family towards the human lords of the Federation is really not cordial and friendly, so the only thing that drives the Marquis of Silversail to make such a decision is the profit - the real purpose of going out to the abyss must not be as simple as it seems.
Grand Duke Stader of Fengdu and Princeton of Thunderman are both eloquent and strategic, and they must be able to see clearly the risks implied by going out to the abyss -- the expeditionary force is going deep into the abyss, and there may be no return, and there are Karachi Empire and Holy Laurent Empire around the Federation, but they still choose to take this risk in the end, so there must be huge interests in this that drive them to do so! As for what the "benefit" is, it is not for Leitch to know******
In fact, although Leitch voted against, this only expressed his attitude, once he really wants to go to the abyss, the Black Wind Territory will definitely participate, which not only involves fame and prestige, but also the attitude of several major lords towards him, and the abyss also has what Leitch pursues - the heart of the demon abyss!
Orfina had already informed him that in order to create a Black Iron Grade Stone Man Golem, a Level 3 Abyss Demon Heart was essential. If Ricky wants to make hundreds of stone man golems, he has to gather at least hundreds of third-level demon hearts! And it is not an easy task to get so many abyss demon hearts in the Blanca continent, not to mention the high price, and it is very likely to attract the attention of people with a heart. But once the war with the abyss starts, it will be easy to get more demon hearts.
"Hehe, in fact, you don't have to be so dignified. Although those Abyss Demons are not easy to deal with, the current situation in the Abyss is still favorable to us. Seeing that most people's eyes were focused on him, Princeton smiled faintly, "The undead witch moon has been restored." ”
It was undoubtedly like a thunderclap that exploded in the crowd, and most of the lords had a look of joy on their faces, even the Marquis of Sunset and the Marquis of Pick-up Auburn, who were in disagreement, were surprised and hesitant.
