Chapter 117: Silence is better than sound
Now that the words had been spoken, Klocodahl wasted no more time, but cast a clear look at Robin, the secretary standing beside him.
Robin immediately and thoughtfully laid out a map of the Kingdom of Alabastan on the table:
Alabastan is a large island, and the Sandora River, which rushes down from the lofty mountains in the center of the island, is the source of life for the country and the natural boundary between the east and west of Alabastan.
"To the west of the Sandora River, including the most economically developed desert cities, the Rainlands."
Klockdahl tapped the map on the table with the golden hook of his prosthetic leg on his left hand, and his voice was full of the majesty of a generation of heroes:
"As long as you agree to cooperate, this half of the country can be used as your fief!"
Galen still couldn't react, but Weiwei's face changed suddenly:
She is a princess of Alabastan, and naturally knows how lucrative and attractive the conditions proposed by Klockdahl are:
The vast land on the west bank of the Sandora River is home to the most elite oasis of the Kingdom of Alabastan, the more prosperous half of the Kingdom.
Don't underestimate the land of this half of the country:
Unlike the small states on the seas that dare to call themselves kingdoms with only one city, Alabastan has an extremely vast land area;
Moreover, Alabastan has always maintained a standing army of 600,000 men in accordance with historical traditions:
The fact that such a large army can be maintained without being a reckless force means that the total population of Alabastan is definitely a terrifying number in the tens of millions.
Half of Alabastan's land, more than half of its population, and its economy are countless times richer than the families Galen had worked so hard to save.
And in order to reach a cooperation with Galen, Klockdahl actually gave up such huge interests and directly threw out such tempting conditions.
Despite Vivi's willingness to believe in Galen's qualities, the lure of such a large profit inevitably makes Vivi nervous about Galen's possible change of attitude.
Vivi looked closely at Galen, who was next to her, and a few hints of hesitation and fear quietly rose between her slightly frowning eyebrows.
She was able to hold on to her worst enemy, Klockdahl, thanks to Galen's promise to her.
And this promise is all based on Galen's "zeal" as a knight of justice, and when you think about it, it is as shaky as a castle in the sky.
Once Galen was seduced by Klockdahl's conditions, the so-called heart of justice was blinded by interests ....
Without the only support, Vivi's entire world is on the verge of collapse.
In the face of Vivi's nervous gaze and Crockdahl's expectant look, Galen did not respond, just looked at the unfolded map of Alabastan without knowing what he was thinking.
The tension and fear in Weiwei's heart gradually climbed to the extreme, and a pair of moving eyes were already faintly filled with crystal tears.
The glorious image that Galen had always left in Vivi's heart gradually became a little distorted and gray under the test of interests.
Finally, as if she had finally made some difficult decision, Vivi said to Galen beside her:
"Galen! You can't promise him! ā
"Conditions like that..."
Vivi paused, but still said those words that made her feel heartbroken:
"My father can give it too!"
"No matter what, Alabastan must not fall into the hands of a pirate!"
"Huh?"
Galen was slightly stunned before he came back to his senses from the map.
But Klockdahl's face sank, and he finally discovered Galen's "true purpose" for bringing Vivi over:
This is simply to find another No. 2 buyer who competes with him to raise the price!
So, the sand crocodile, who was in a bad mood, shouted at the restless Princess Vivi:
"Shut up!"
"How could your father have come up with my terms?"
Then he said to Galen:
"My sincerity has been placed here, do you still have to believe the empty words of a yellow-haired girl?"
"Uh..."
Galen looked slightly stunned, and opened his mouth to make a stand.
The smile on Klockdahl's face grew more and more wanton, and a rough laugh interrupted Galen's unspoken words.
He stared at Wei Wei tightly, and he did not hide the malice in his words:
"Woman, what right do you have to speak in our negotiations? You don't represent your father yet! ā
"And your stupid father will never have the courage of mine!"
Wei Wei's face froze, and her heart became more and more flustered:
Klockdahl is right, he is not distressed about robbing other people's things, and he will give them away;
But do you want her kind and old-fashioned father to give in to the thieves and give up half of the country? That's absolutely impossible.
So Klockdahl's promise may be hidden and ill-intentioned, and her offer to redeem Galen is absolutely a blank check.
The conclusion of who should be chosen in comparison with the two is self-evident.
Wei Wei rubbed her hands tightly on the corners of her clothes uneasily, and the uncontrollable strength in her hands pressed the pale cyan blood veins on the white skin of her arms, and her whole body trembled slightly unconsciously.
Seeing such a nervous Vivi, Galen couldn't help but be a little amused.
Galen gently put his hand on Vivi's tense arm to comfort her, but instead provoked Vivi, who was like a frightened bird, to tremble.
Wei Wei suddenly turned her head to look at Galen, the expression on her face was extremely complicated, and the entangled emotions in her eyes made Galen completely unable to guess.
Galen had no choice but to return a kind smile to Vivi, and opened his mouth to make his position clear, and then put Vivi at ease.
Again, however, he was interrupted.
I saw that Weiwei suddenly sighed, and said to Galen in a resolute tone:
"I have a way!"
"I have a way to guarantee that my conditions are not empty words!"
Galen is the only lifeline that can be grasped for Vivi at this moment, no matter what the cost, Vivi can't let him slip out of his hands.
"Huh?"
Galen continued his usual state of dazed state during the heated negotiations.
Wei Wei suddenly grabbed Galen's outstretched thick palm tightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Galen, if only you can help me protect Alabastan from pirates..."
"IāI can..."
Wei Wei gritted her silver teeth and said a terrifying ultimate condition: "Marry you!" ā
She recalled what she had seen and heard in the East China Sea Galen territory, and her confused eyes gradually became firm:
"As long as you marry me, then sooner or later this country will be in your hands."
"If it were you, at least the people of Alabastan would not suffer..."
"What?"
Galen looked confused.
Klockdahl was even more disgusted, he didn't expect that the yellow-haired girl who was not in his eyes would come up with such a killer idea:
The partition of Alabastan with Klokdahl is a game of tyranny, and high returns are also high risks.
But if Princess Vivi agrees to marry Galen...
Vivi is the only daughter of King Kobra and the sole legitimate heir to the Kingdom of Alabastan.
If you marry her, you will marry the whole country.
Not only does it gain both people and money, but it also steals the country and steals the country in a justifiable, reasonable and legal way, which is simply a huge pie falling from the sky.
Seeing such a bizarre development of events, Klockdahl couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred for Galen, who was still "pretending" to be innocent:
He was so busy infiltrating the army, bribing officials, creating droughts, inciting rebellions, and buying people's hearts and minds that he had been busy for several years that he had not succeeded in the two or three months of work that the other party had spent on that Vivi Princess.
How could such a good thing not fall on one's own head?
Even with the heroic mentality of Klockdahl, he had to develop a grudge against Galen, who had won the fruits of his victory.
But if you think about the difference in age and appearance between the enemy and us, Klockdahl also understands that Galen's routine he can't imitate.
Klockdahl suddenly thought of one of the points mentioned in the intelligence:
Galen was able to gain control of the kingdom of Goa because he had a loyal subordinate who married the only daughter of the old king and became the new king of Goa.
What a familiar routine, what a means of damage!
I heard that the Nande Canette princess was also a noble-born and beautiful lady, and she was well-known in the aristocratic circles of the entire East China Sea.
Klockdahl was still a little curious before, why didn't Galen play in person with such a good thing of both people and money, but instead wanted to indirectly control the Goa Kingdom through his subordinates, it turned out...
So he's waiting here!
Klockdahl viciously glanced at Galen, who was still "pretending" in front of him, and scolded Galen countless times in anger.
And Galen, who is still a little dizzy, uses a vivid expression to explain what is a "black question mark .jpg":
From the beginning of this negotiation to the present, he has not said a word.
How did this happen?
