Chapter 1223 - Borrowing a Knife to Kill Plan
Hundreds of people from the No. 51 formation stayed in the outer courtyard, accompanied by the Creteno clansmen to eat, drink and play, and several high-ranking people led by Qin Yan stayed in a heavily guarded inner courtyard, accepting a banquet from the second-in-command of the Creteno clan, waiting for the arrival of the patriarch by the way.
Before the fiefdom sent a fleet to take Pada over, Pada had already sent a message to the clan land, and it didn't take long to come here from the imperial capital.
"That's a coincidence."
After listening to Padda's story, the old man couldn't help laughing, took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said: "I didn't expect you to be Padda's life-saving benefactor, this affection is owed to you by my clan - I respect you!" ”
only talked about feelings and didn't talk about business, Qin Yan didn't take the initiative to explain his intentions, and the old man didn't take the initiative to ask, because the patriarch hadn't arrived yet.
"Who is who's savior? Let's hear it. ”
"Grandpa!"
With a deep and heavy voice sounding, the old man in brocade clothes walked straight into the spacious hall with two entourage.
Pada hurriedly got up from the last seat and flew up to meet him: he had not been clear in the message before, and he had to explain it in detail to his grandfather immediately, so as to save the previous situation from happening again-just like his uncle, he was angry that the other party was arrogant and angry, and he lost face.
"Your Excellency is really as strong as Pada said?" After listening to Padda's story, the old man walked over and stared at Qin Yan with blazing eyes.
"Why don't you try it, Patriarch?" Qin Yan frowned.
"Big brother!"
The old man, who was drinking with Qin Yan just now, quickly got up and said, "I advise you not to try, this gentleman's strength is ...... All the top masters in the empire will definitely not find anyone to be worthy of. ”
"Oh?"
Filo couldn't help but freeze in his heart, directly pulled out a chair and sat down, looked directly at Qin Yan and said, "Your Excellency wants to see me, and now that I'm here, ...... Let's get straight to the point, what is the purpose of your lordship meeting me? ”
"You go down." Qin Yan glanced at the entourage brought in by Philo, and then looked at the maids around him.
"Go down."
Philo commanded the maid, and in turn said, "Your Excellency may rest assured of the absolute loyalty of my retinue. ”
When all the maids went down, and only the core layers of the two sides were left on the scene, Qin Yan said lightly: "I only want to ask you, do the Creteno want to be in charge of the Alpha Empire...... Oh, and of course, if all goes well, the Alpha Empire will be renamed the Kritno Empire. ”
"You ......" The middle and high-level members of the clan led by Filo changed color.
"Want, or don't want to, in a word."
Qin Yan didn't seem to see his shock, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all: "As the second largest family in the Alpha Empire after the royal family, the Klitno clan is my first target, but it is by no means the only target, the second is not much different from the third, fourth, and fifth, you should understand what I mean, right?" ”
Although he had long guessed that the arrival of this group of Tianqin people would definitely not be malicious, because the Tianqin Empire, a dignified seventh-level civilization, could not spend so much effort to send people of this level to frame one of the races under the jurisdiction of the sixth-level civilization - there was no need for this.
Although Filo had long guessed that the other party's trip was to make some kind of deal, he could not have imagined that it would be such an amazing event.
"I'm not a very patient person."
After drinking all the wine in the cup, Qin Yan stood up on the spot and put the wine glass on the table: "I think, there is no need to continue the conversation, let's go." ”
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Qin Yan was about to leave, Philo suddenly stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency has infiltrated the Alpha Empire and tried to subvert the interior of the country, so you are not afraid that I will deal with you on the charge of subversion?" You know, if you are accused of infiltrating and subverting, even if I kill you, the Lyra Empire will not be able to say anything in a grand manner. ”
"You think you have what it takes to deal with me?" Qin Yan laughed.
"Your Excellency seems to have forgotten that this is the fiefdom of your own clan, and there are hundreds of millions of elites of your own clan here, and you are less than four hundred people."
"Why don't you give it a try?"
“……”
Looking at Qin Yan's calm expression, Filo hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said: "Please answer my two questions, first of all, how sure are you of it?" Secondly, what do you want? ”
"I'm 90% sure, as for what I want to get...... Why do you think I'm here to do this, as a member of the Lyra? ”
"Your Excellency wants to ...... Make the Alpha Empire a vassal state of the Lyra Empire? ”
"Vassalage to the Maglen Empire and vassalage to the Lyra Empire make no difference to your country, but to the Cretnos...... The second largest family? Hehe, I don't need to say more about this, right? ”
"yes."
Of course, Philo understood what Qin Yan meant, and he smiled bitterly: "It sounds good to say that it is second only to the Alpha Clan, but the second is the second after all, and the gap between the second and the first is far more than the gap between the second and the third and fourth, the second is the minister, the first is the king, how can it be the same?" ”
Merely......
Since vassals are free to choose their overlord, it's not uncommon for a powerful state to use this rule to try to replace a certain ethnic group and change its overlord.
However, the percentage of success is not high.
The reason is simple.
First of all, other countries must not be directly involved in this kind of internal strife, otherwise it could easily be perceived as aggression, and the suzerainty of that country will certainly intervene immediately when it learns about it.
Second, in the absence of the direct participation of other countries, it is difficult to confront a powerful royal family with the strength of a certain subordinate family.
In the end, even if the royal family is really taken down, the family will suffer great trauma, and in the end, it will be difficult to support the overall situation due to the great loss of strength, but other families will take the opportunity to take the position and make wedding dresses for others.
"Why do you think you are so sure?" Fillo got to the point.
"Borrow a knife to kill." Qin Yan smiled.
"Oh? How to kill people with a knife? Fillow asked.
"The third largest race in the Alpha Empire, if there is a conflict with the royal family and a killing spree, what will happen to the other races?"
"Of course, it's a wait-and-see, expecting both sides to lose, so that other ethnic groups have hope of ascending."
"That's right."
"But you can't help it, let the third major race fight the royal family."
"Is it my business, you just need to give some help in this fight, according to my plan, and finally take their place, and fulfill the agreement with me - when the Klitno take power, they must become a vassal state of the Lyra Empire."
Hearing Qin Yan's words, Filo was silent.
He was analyzing the other party's plan, whether there was some kind of trap against him, and how much risk the Cretno were taking.
As for the non-fulfillment of the agreement after success...... He's not stupid at all!
If the other party can provoke civil strife and create an opportunity for the Cretno to seize the imperial power without the help of the Cretno, it means that the other party has the ability to play this kind of thing again, but the object of destruction next time will become the Cretno.
"What exactly do I need to do if the plan is implemented?" After a moment of thought, Filo asked.
"The first thing is to bring me and my subordinates into the imperial capital from the many levels of the imperial defense circle."
"And then?"
"When the conflict between the third major ethnic group and the royal family broke out and entered a white-hot state, the Klitno tribe mobilized their forces in advance to ambush outside the defensive circle of the imperial capital, and waited until I gave the order to directly carry out the final devastating blow to the two clans."
"How do you guarantee that in that case, the two clans will not join forces to fight back, and will not inflict a devastating blow on their own clan?"
"When I gave the order, it was also when the two clans were almost exhausted, and it was impossible for the two clans at that time to compete with you."
"I'll keep an eye on all of this in the imperial capital." Fillo was clearly still not convinced.
"No problem."
"So ......"
After thinking about it, I felt that the other party was not very likely to lay a trap against the Creteno in this plan, the key was that the other party had no reason to calculate the Creteno, and the most important thing was that in the entire early and middle stages of the plan, he did not need to invest any combat power, and there was no risk component.
In the end, Fillo, who hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand towards Qin Yan: "Deal!" ”
"When His Excellency the Patriarch sits on the throne of God, it will not be too late to shake hands with me." Qin Yan said lightly.
"Well, when is the move going to begin?"
"What do you think of now?"
"What? Right now? You...... You're not going to plan it in detail? Fillow was shocked.
"It's just killing, why plan?"
"Good!"
Philo nodded and said in a deep voice, "When will the centaurs of the Lyra Empire arrive?" ”
Qin Yan looked at him with strange eyes and said, "Do you think that your country will send a large group of people over?" That's aggression! ”
"Is it possible...... You want to rely on such a small number of people? ”
"I'm not directly participating in the war, but provoking a war between the two races, what do you want so many people for?"
"There's nothing else to prepare?"
"If possible......"
Qin Yan took a deep breath and said, "When the battle breaks out, strengthen the jamming device in the area of the Imperial Capital's defensive circle, so that all warships lose the ability to jump in wormholes. And lay an ambush on the periphery of the imperial capital's defense circle to prevent the royal family from taking the opportunity to escape - cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, I don't think Your Excellency wants the Alpha Imperial Family to make a comeback one day in the future, right? ”
The conspiracy to usurp the throne of a country's royal family was not discussed for a long time as expected, and even made precise arrangements, and the two sides reached an agreement in a short period of time.
On the other hand, Qin Yan was not worried about Philo changing his hexagram.
It's the nature of intelligent beings.
Fundamentally, although the Cretno and the Alpha belong to the same empire, they are not the same race after all, and who doesn't want their own race to hold the imperial power?
What's more, he has already left the other party the information that he is a core member of the Tianqin royal family, and the key Creteno clan does not need to invest in combat power in the early stage, and there is not much risk.
Under the constraints of various factors inside and out, unless Filo has a problem with his brain, he will reject the covenant he proposed: there will be no loss if you lose, and if you win, you can win the imperial power, where can you find such a good thing?
