Chapter 48: The Last Knights (3)

caught a "runaway" saintess, Zhang Shixin thinks that such a thing is not a good thing.

At least, several generals of the Kapani Kingdom, after knowing such a thing, rejected Zhang Shixin's proposal to throw this hot potato to them.

It's not that they have any opinions on Zhang Shixin's suggestion, but they can't afford this big trouble.

After placing those people, Zhang Shixin could only have a telegraph meeting with Fei Lei and the others.

……

"Philet, what do you think I should do if I say that I have taken the Holy Maiden of the Papal States captive?"

Firay, who was holding this telegram, subconsciously sprayed the sip of black tea he had just drunk on Dress's body.

"I'm sorry." Firay could only say sorry to Dress, who was a little stunned, but now he could only wipe the traces of tea on his body with a handkerchief.

The latter shook his head and said understandingly: "It's okay, it seems that the news of the telegram surprised you." ”

"Well, take a look." FerrΓ© handed the message to Dress.

The latter held a teacup in one hand and took the message in the other and carefully skimmed through it......

Fortunately, Dresser didn't lose his temper too much this time, but he was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and said to Firay: "The boss is amazing, such things can happen." ”

"He's so magical, but I think the boss doesn't want us to judge what he's going through, he wants us to come up with a solution for him."

Firay continued, and said thoughtfully: "Dress, I think you also know very well that we will inevitably encounter a problem in this war with the Papal States, that is, the religious influence of the Papal States has a considerable impact on the common people in many regions. Therefore, we must deal with such things in order to maximize the benefits. ”

"I know this, but this situation is not easy to change, after all, the boss and the Kapani army have already fought against the army of the Papal States, I am afraid that the so-called heretical verdict will soon fall on the boss and the elven dragon security company, this name is not a problem for a country. But it's not a good thing for us. At the very least, in many areas, we will inevitably encounter resistance from die-hard believers, even overt resistance. ”

Dressy frowned and voiced his concerns.

However, he saw that Firay didn't seem too worried about the situation, and instead thought about something with a rather relaxed expression.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking...... This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our boss and our Elven Dragon Security Company. Firay pointed to the telegram in Dress's hand, and then uttered something quite meaningful.

Dresser shook his head in confusion, and then he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Firay in surprise: "Do you mean...... Let the boss ......! ”

"That's right, don't you think it's in our interest to do something like this? Although the boss will not agree to our request, compared to this situation, the boss has the opportunity to do so, and this is our chance, Dress. Firee smiled slightly.

"You're crazy! Not to mention whether you can succeed in doing this, just because of the pressure of the two countries, the boss has to worry about it. Dressy voiced his concerns.

"Your worries are not unreasonable, but this matter can still be done. Her Royal Highness Princess Hailey of the Gultoka Empire, the boss and her children, if nothing else, should in fact be regarded as the most favorable successor to the boss's fiefdom and the Elven Dragon Security Company, of course, such a thing is still far away. However, our established policy is to let you publicize that your boss is about to get married, which has made the top brass in both countries relax their guard against us. It can be said that the current existence of the boss has become the biggest reliance of the Elven Dragon Security Company. ”

Fei Lei paused, walked to the window and looked at the scenery of Zhang Shixin's fiefdom on the steaming day, and said, "Before you joined, we continued to work hard for this land. There is our sweat, our efforts, and of course, there are some small actions that are not worth letting outsiders know. It can be said that this is our home. No matter what happens to this land, I can't let it be lost in my lifetime. ”

Firay turned around and said to the silent Dressers: "So, the boss has become the biggest guarantee for this land. What we can rely on is what the boss himself brings. Whether it's force, influence, or ...... Marriage. ”

"Since ancient times, such things as marriage can be said to have become a means, but we can say here that many of the effects brought by the boss himself are the result of his marriage with the two countries. You may be able to say that the boss's own military exploits are brilliant, and naturally he is worthy of the two countries' vigorous efforts, but you may not know that if the boss had not had such a relationship with His Majesty De Perry and His Royal Highness Haley, it can be said that we would not be in the situation we are in today. ”

"The boss is very capable and has a lot of luck, so we can't expect anything from the boss because we are able to talk here now and the boss is a great deal. What we can do now is to help the boss as much as we can, protect the boss and do what we can for the boss. ”

"You may look down on me in this regard, but I don't mind, even if the boss orders me to be executed because of what I have done, I will not change my face. So, I hope you can help me this time. ”

Speaking of this, Firay looked at Dress, who was now in charge of the external publicity department of the Elven Dragon Security Company, and waited for the other party's decision.

After a while, Dressy said slowly: "Say, you miss me...... How? ”

This sentence is already a statement. If it weren't for the fact that Dressy had been with Firay for a while, knowing that this person would never betray Zhang Shixin, I'm afraid he would have turned around and left this office.

"For example...... The boss is getting married, and there will be a few brides like this. FellΓ© smiled and uttered the rather terrifying words in Dress's ears.

"If something goes wrong, I'll take you to hell with me." Dresser took a deep breath.

"It's okay, when the time comes...... Maybe your sister will be one of the boss's brides. FilΓ© uttered the words that made Dresser smile wryly.

He is not stupid, he can still feel his sister's feelings for Zhang Shixin.

However, he could not dissuade his sister, because such a thing was no longer something that he, a man who already had nothing, could grasp.

Dresser looked at FerrΓ© one last time and said something that made FilΓ© take for granted: "You'd better not forget what you said today." β€œ

"Don't worry, I'm not a man of my word." Firay smiled merrily.

After Dressy went down to attend to some business, Firay looked out the window and smiled.

"When everything can begin, I will make you the most honorable person in this world, and don't let me down. My boss. ”

Fei Lei knows very well that Zhang Shixin has potential that many people do not have, although he does not know the things of the system, but the power of those Orientals alone is enough to show that Zhang Shixin's status is quite high.

He is not worried about how he will die, because he knows very well that this world can do without him, but he can't lose someone like Zhang Shixin, whose influence is constantly expanding and he doesn't know it.

It's like a person who has become a billionaire without knowing it and thinks he is an ordinary person, in this case, someone needs to talk to him.

Firay knew very well that he was the one who needed to be explained, but there was something different, that is, he wanted to make the rich man's money even more.

There are many reasons why many things need to be done for a valid reason, but is it more direct and effective than using such means as marriage?

Zhang Shixin's strength is not weak, it can be said that in Fei Lei's eyes, Zhang Shixin wants to change the current situation, not more about how to exert his influence ability, but how to open up a new situation.

In fact, Ferrey also has a certain understanding of Graylian's affairs, it can be said that Fairey's plan is quite huge, and he doesn't mind using semi-"coercion" means to make Zhang Shixin, the person he is loyal to with his life, become the king of marriage, because Zhang Shixin, who has a presence in more countries, will be the most powerful backing of the Elven Dragon Security Company.

It can be said that the alliance of the two countries now values the Elven Dragon Security Company, although there are factors that are becoming stronger and stronger, but on the other hand, if the Elven Dragon Security Company loses a leader like Zhang Shixin before it has enough self-protection ability, the possibility of being carved up by the alliance of the two countries is quite high.

It can be said that Zhang Shixin is the founder, leader, and most solid backing of Elven Dragon Security Company.

And they are Zhang Shixin's subordinates, and they and Zhang Shixin are no longer simply subordinate relationships, but both prosperity and loss.

Straar and the others themselves did not agree with the plan that Fei Lei had revealed to them, but after thinking that they had left Zhang Shixin and the Elven Dragon Security Company, they could be said to be really homeless. In this case, they could only hide from Zhang Shixin and carry out Fei Lei's plan.

Now, there is a new group of members who have joined the "thief ship".

Firay didn't know what these people were thinking, but if he interrupted his plan, he could laugh it off, but if these people had rebellious intentions, even if it was Strall, Firay could calmly let the housekeeping team kill him.

It is true that Zhang Shixin knew that Fei Lei had the skill of "conspirator", but Zhang Shixin did not know that Fei Lei's conspirator also had his own bottom line, that is, himself. It can be said that if Zhang Shixin asked him to commit suicide, he would not say a word and do what Zhang Shixin ordered.

Fire, he didn't mind doing something for Zhang Shixin that he didn't want to do.

Because since Zhang Shixin helped him avenge, his life is Zhang Shixin's.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Shixin held a telegram of Fire's reply in his hand, and looking at the reply that made him cry and laugh, he had the idea of beating Fire.

So what exactly is the reply?

"Boss, if possible, please try to befriend that Holy Maiden, maybe she can reduce the resistance you encounter to the point where we can bear it alone."

Whether looking up or down, left or right, Firay's telegram is quite in line with Zhang Shixin's situation.

Making good use of this holy woman, as Firay said, can indeed make the influence of the Papal States fall apart, because he learned from Dimitri and several generals of the Capani Kingdom that in the Papal States, the position of the Holy Maiden is no less than that of the archbishop in terms of influence, or even second only to the Pope.

It can be said that the saint can also be regarded as the vice-pope, although this statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed quite close to the truth.

It's a pity that what makes Zhang Shixin cry and laugh is the so-called friendship......

Well, Zhang Shixin knew the subtext of Fei Lei, the chief subordinate: "Boss, soak her, I guarantee that you have no problems at all in this battle!! ”

Zhang Shixin looked at this telegram and was quite depressed in his heart.

Because for him, is it good or bad to have such subordinates???

Finally, Zhang Shixin took a deep breath and then lit the telegram with a lighter.

……

Ten minutes later, Zhang Shixin took Dimitri and Vatujing to the tent where His Excellency the Holy Maiden was under house arrest.

Seeing the various security measures in this area on the tactical map, where even a mosquito is unlikely to fly in, Zhang Shixin nodded to Vatujing.

Then, after taking a breath, he walked into the tent with a serious face.

Although it was said that the saintess and her guards would be separated, Zhang Shixin still let the other party keep all the luggage and selected two female knights as guards.

It can be said that there is no precedent for Zhang Shixin to give such treatment to personnel of hostile forces.

After the two female guards saw Zhang Shixin and the two people coming in, there was a hint of hostility in their eyes, but they still didn't come out.

They themselves are curious that this "hungry wolf of Capani", who treats them very politely, is not a cold-blooded killer who can only kill and war, as rumored to be.

However, this does not prevent them from having a bad feeling for Zhang Shixin.

Zhang Shixin asked the two female guards: "Two knights, I don't know if the holy woman has time now, I have something I want to communicate with each other." ”

When the two female guards heard this, they looked at each other, and one of them said, "Your Excellency, may you wait here for a while, and I may ask Her Highness for her opinion." ”

Zhang Shixin said lightly: "I'm tired." ”

Half a minute later, the female knight led the holy woman wearing a cross embroidered with many gold threads in the front area of the tent.

Zhang Shixin stood up and said, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, I came this time mainly to inquire about one thing. ”

"Your Excellency the Duke is polite, what do you need my help with?" The saint said this lightly, but Zhang Shixin still felt that this girl's spirit was not very good.

However, Zhang Shixin didn't have the heart to say more polite words, but said directly: "I don't know if Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden can make a deal with me?" ”

"Your Excellency the Duke, please speak."

Although she did not know the darkness of the Papal States, the good education she received showed that she was not a simple vase.

It can be said that this saint is a person of considerable ability in the Papal States. Of course, all this time, she never had a time when she needed to solve the problem on her own.

But that doesn't mean that this saint doesn't know how to deal with such a situation.

Zhang Shixin pondered for a while and said, "Before that, I want to know whether Her Highness thinks that the Papal States has the need to start this war. ”

"I ......" the saint opened her mouth, but she found Zhang Shixin's question really difficult for her to answer.

Zhang Shixin didn't speak, he had been waiting for the frowning girl to say her answer.

After a while, the saintess shook her head, and she said something that made Zhang Shixin stunned: "Your Excellency, I wonder if Binion can believe you?" ”

The saint looked at Zhang Shixin's face, waiting for Zhang Shixin's answer.

Zhang Shixin came back to his senses and thought about what he should do.

Whether to tell the truth, or perfunctory.

It's just that when he looked at the clear eyes of the saint, Zhang Shixin said what he thought was the most direct stupid sentence in his two lives:

"I don't know if I should believe you or not, but I hope you believe me."

It can be said that this sentence is equivalent to not saying it, and a certain elven dragon with a hidden body type rolled its eyes at Zhang Shixin.

It's just that after being stunned for a while, the saint couldn't help but bow her head and smile.

The two female knights were surprised to see that the saint had such an expression.

In their eyes, the noble saint was not smiling, but they really had never seen a saint show such an expression.

After a while, the holy woman said to Zhang Shixin: "Your Excellency Duke, do you know? Ever since I saw what was really going on, I wondered if my faith still made sense. However, I have found that those who speak ill of you describe you as a heinous demon, and they are saying that you are in a different situation than the real you. Of course, I don't know if I should trust you, but I think that trusting a stranger is more worthy of my trust than many people in the Papal States. ”

"I don't know if I should help you or not, because I can't betray him in the Papal States no matter what. Not only because of who I am, but there are many good people in the Papal States, who should not have died in this war that should not have happened. ”

"Captain Gillias told me that there was no need for the Papal States to exist, but I knew that the Papal States still had a foundation that had to exist. That's one of the reasons why you didn't make a big move. Although I don't know anything about military affairs, I know very well that with your troops' equipment and military strength, it can be quite easy to defeat those knight forces, but you and your allies are still in a stalemate, mainly because you don't want to fall into some kind of crisis. ”

"I can help you with this, although I can't guarantee the results. But I'm still going to do my best to help you. ”

"On this premise, I have one condition."

Zhang Shixin listened to the words of the girl in front of him, looked at the other party's rather calm expression, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, please speak." ”

"I hope that the state of the Papal States will continue to exist as a purely religious state."

Zhang Shixin looked at this girl in surprise, because he didn't expect the other party to say this sentence at all.

Admittedly, there are still many meanings that need to be expressed in this sentence, Zhang Shixin was silent for a while, and tentatively said a sentence: "For example, give up most of the troops that exist in the name of the Knights?" ”

The saint nodded. But Zhang Shixin saw a flash of gloom in the other party's eyes.

Zhang Shixin was also thinking about whether he should agree to this condition, because he couldn't lie to the haggard girl in front of him.

However, he still made his own promise: "Let's not talk about the outcome, I can promise you to communicate with the relevant countries and influence their decisions as much as possible." ”

……

After Zhang Shixin left the camp, he looked in the direction of the east, and there was a trace of killing awe-inspiring light in his eyes......
