Chapter 452: The Plenipotentiary Arrives
"Dingdingding......"
The rapid ringing of the bell at the mast lookout post alerted the human fleet coming down the river from the old Imperial City, and when something unexpected was ahead, a sailor jumped up the truss with a cable and shouted to his companions below:
"I saw the black flag, it was the goblin fleet."
"Tell everyone to be on alert, but don't make hostile gestures."
Alerted to the alarm, he hurried from the cabin to the stern deck, squinting at the goblin fleet that appeared on the river, and Luo Zhengdao prevented his men from overreacting. Humans and goblins have been at war for so long that the two sides reflexively want to open the film as soon as they meet, which is undoubtedly very discordant at the moment when the truce is signed.
The New World's agreements are so binding that they are far more powerful than the old world's powerful rubbish, whether it's the God's Witness Pact, which is backed by the gods, or the more terrifying Pact of Styx, which has extraordinary powers. The instruments are horribly binding on the Parties. Those who betray the alliance will not be able to die well with five labors and seven injuries, and at worst, their souls will be scattered and will never be reborn, how can a tragic word cover it? Those who dare to brazenly tear up the agreement, if they are not really brain-dead, then they must have the consciousness of death at the expense of going up the mountain of swords and going down to the sea of fire.
If you are not ready to break your bones, it is best not to try to break the covenant lightly, this danger is equivalent to the death of fireworks in the ammunition depot, and it is really not a heartbeat game that ordinary people can afford.
Also down the river from a port in the middle and upper reaches of the river, the human and goblin fleets were not far away, and the sight of each other looking at each other was about to overflow. However, under the strong constraints of the armistice agreement, no one dared to rashly take hostile actions, and could only try to kill the other party with hostile eyes, and this tense and slightly funny atmosphere was really subtle.
Noticing this strange atmosphere, the corners of Luo Zhengdao's mouth twitched a few times, and he told his entourage:
"Remember to signal the goblins not to do anything superfluous, tell our people to keep a safe distance, and accurately relay orders to the captain of each ship, and I want them to make sure they understand their duties."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The profession of the magic card master itself is a top master of playing with the law, otherwise there would not be such a rebellious thing as a card, a half-baked rookie like Luo Zhengdao is a big parallel commodity by the standards of the magic card master's profession, but a horizontal comparison with other professions can still crush the audience, and he knows better than anyone how sad the end of being eaten by the Styx contract is.
Now that he knows what is at stake, Luo Zhengdao definitely doesn't want to pay a painful price for the mistakes of others, maybe some people think that young people's reckless impulsiveness is a forgivable mistake, but the nature and consequences of some mistakes are too serious, there is no way to ignore them, just like a high-voltage line with electricity, whoever owes a hand and touches it will die. Luo Zhengdao, who felt uneasy about this, did not have the idea of tolerating and conniving, rather than being killed by someone inexplicably, it was better to directly kill those fools who could not see the changes in the situation clearly.
In the middle of the voyage, fearing that something would go wrong, he finally managed to see the outline of the city in his field of vision, and Zora Hegel, who was on the podium, laughed loudly and said:
"Dongning! We're finally here. ”
Although the area of Qiongzhou Island is not large, it can accommodate millions of people, and the other enclave islands under the name of the Kingdom of Light combined, are enough to cram all the human refugees who have escaped from the tiger's mouth.
It's just that the Second Goblin Empire is as tired as a dead dog for the overseas immigrants in the Star Sea, Luo Zhengdao needs a lot of time and energy to move these people away from the main continent, and the ten-year truce agreement concluded with the goblins is not only to give the opponent a chance to breathe, but also to find a buffer period for his own side. It's not a game, any operation can be done with just a click of the mouse, the refugees have to eat and live, and they have to try to heal if they are sick, and they can't be left alone in the wilderness.
Dongning and the Grand Canal City, which are only across the river, are no more than five miles away in a straight line, and the two banks of the great river, separated by the surging water, can be clearly seen with the naked eye in the morning and evening, not to mention the fleets and warships that shuttle back and forth on the river, often only a few hundred yards away, and the sailors can even see each other's faces clearly.
Despite this, the rivals on both sides are blind and completely ignore each other's existence, and each buries its head in the face and continues to live and work at its own pace.
The philosophy of this story does not need to be elaborated, the goblins and humans have to clean up their own mess first, and this matter must be much more important than going to someone else's house to kill people and set fires.
The armistice agreement between humans and goblins was not good news for the financiers, and even the bystanders who had nothing to do with themselves were stunned, and the stakeholders were even more stunned and angry.
Yaling has always been strongly wary of potential sea power challengers, although the elves seem to be very arrogant, in fact, they are also very shrewd in their calculations, and suddenly Luo Zhengdao put them silently, they are not annoyed before they have ghosts!
By the time the Great Powers received the news of 100,000 urgent, the marriage between the goblins and humans had already been cooked into cooked rice, and it was too late for them to intervene. After the human race temporarily pacified the goblin, the real demand for the gold owners has shrunk greatly, and even the stone pine powder trade, which is regarded as the most important weight by Yaling, is no longer the top priority of life and death when the war has subsided. Not only can Yaling not easily sanction the Kingdom of Light, in order to invalidate the armistice agreement in ten years, he will continue to encourage humans and goblins to sing against each other, and he will have to accompany the smiling face to provide a large amount of assistance, such a sour taste is really not enough for outsiders!
Yaling and elves can't say that they have suffering, it is common sense for the store to bully customers, and on the other hand, there is nothing to complain about when the customers are big and bully the store.
After years of development, Luo Zhengdao, the front desk agent, has long been full-fledged, and to break with him, the price paid by the financiers is not an understatement, this is a major issue that needs to be carefully examined.
In order to make up for the consequences of their previous carelessness, Yaling and the elves have chosen to send plenipotentiaries to the Kingdom of Light, or ambassadors in the Old World, who will follow directly behind His Majesty Will Needham, who has not yet announced the location of the capital. I don't want to have much control and influence over human beings, but I just want to avoid the recurrence of the bad situation where due to the remote space barrier cannot prevent a guy from going alone in time regardless of the overall situation. obviously has the strength to intervene, but because of distance and time, they can't reach it, and they have had enough of this grievance.
"Your Majesty the King, these two are ......"
Glancing at the other party, Luo Zhengdao, who had already guessed how annoyed the gold owners would be, waved his hand lightly, faced the two ambassadors and said:
"No introduction. I know that the Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation have sent you to give you a mission, and I don't want to interfere with the practices of my friends, so I ask you to respect my position. ”
Ambassador Yaling smiled at his elven companion, then he turned to Luo Zhengdao and replied:
"Your Majesty, the Empire has always attached great importance to friendship and good relations with you, and Her Majesty has entrusted me with a message that I hope Her Majesty will understand the interests of the Empire and refrain from acting in a manner that would damage the relationship between the two sides."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao smiled very mysteriously, and said to the elf representative:
"Your Excellency, do you want to say the same thing to me?"
The Elven Federation's investment share is less than that of Yaling, and his speech is not so hard at this moment, and the personable Elven Ambassador bowed his body and said humbly and proudly:
"Your Majesty, we admire your wisdom, and the Commonwealth respects the choice of our friends, and we hope that you will do the same for our opinions."
Relying on simple time difference tactics to make the two financiers cry and laugh, Luo Zhengdao has already gained a lot of benefits in this matter, of course, he can no longer sell his hatred without opening his eyes, he immediately turned around and made an inviting gesture, and said with a smile:
"Hehehehehe, okay! Your Excellency, Ambassadors, let's go in and talk again. ”
The welcoming ceremony cheered by the crowd can indeed make people feel the sincere joy of success, and they have stumbled all the way to this point, even Luo Zhengdao himself never thought that there would be this day. Bearing the relentless weight of the curse of the Aragami on him, he can't talk about any extravagant hopes for a better future, and the entanglement with the goblin is also like a monk hitting the clock for a day, such as a long-term plan for a grand cause or something, not to mention that Luo Zhengdao didn't bother to think about it at all, even if it was planned, what could it be? He doesn't even know if he can live to the day when he becomes famous, is it too obscene to imagine a better future in advance?
No matter how unhappy they were with the elves and Yaling, who had a lot of bad words about someone's style, they couldn't help but beat him up with words, but the two plenipotentiaries got down to business, conveying to him that cooperation and friendship are the main themes of diplomatic relations.
To say that as a-stirring stick, Will Needham is definitely a first-class tough, just look at his ability to turn the thriving goblin Second Empire into this virtue in just a few years, and the financiers behind the scenes are not satisfied with some of his actions, at least they have to give King Will Needham thirty-two likes in this matter.
The fact is obvious, the shrewd and capable agent is not a cabbage grown in the ground, as soon as the harvest can be stuffed all over the pit and grain, the obedient do not work, and the capable are disobedient, which is in line with common sense! Whether noble or dirty, all means serve the end, and the proxy wars planned by the financiers are no exception, and achieving the strategic goal of curbing the rise of the goblins is the first consideration. Compared with the brilliant results that have been achieved, the recklessness and self-centeredness shown by Luo Zhengdao have not exceeded the psychological bottom limit of the financiers
