Chapter 1651: Let's join forces to persuade us
As the foundation of the federal government, the Orso Sky District, as the name suggests, is "the crossroads of the sky". Since it is a crossroads, it means that the waterway is dense. Since there are many navigable passages in the sky, it means that there are many islands, and there are many islands that can live in people, can be tuntian, and can build cities. Therefore, the army of the Lundrons family and the Abbott family, who had already arrived in the northeast of the Orso Heaven District, could at least find a place to camp their troops. The soldiers of the two families combined, a total of 8,000 soldiers, did not need to live on the ship.
It's certainly not as comfortable to camp on the island at this time of year as it is to live in the city and bake on the fire, but anyway, it's okay to have a bunk on the ship.
Although it is already approaching winter, and the temperature in the sky is constantly catching up with the Arel Plateau in the north, there is a big sun today, and the warm sunlight is still very comfortable. So, the heads of the Lundrons family and the Abbot family also met together on this day.
The head of the Lundrons family is 48-year-old Alexon Lundrons, a maroon man with chestnut hair, gray eyes, a clear face, and a tough physique, who looks like a great man. He served in the Union Army for fifteen years, with the rank of Reserve Lieutenant General, and the personality of a three-star magician. Overall, the ability is not bad, although it is not a genius, but whether it is as an officer or a spellcaster, it still deserves a qualified evaluation. If it weren't for the fact that he pursued "true love" when he was young and vigorous, rejected the marriage of the Violet family with a very blunt attitude, and his old father died early and no one could control him, so he was jointly excluded by several wealthy families, and the current national center should have its place.
As for Hedos, the parent of the Aibo family, who is 3 years younger, does not look as aura as the former. He is a big fat man who is round and round, and he is not the kind of fat who has a kind smile and is very cute and simple, but he is the kind of person with a fierce face and a fierce face. Of course, it is indeed a bit difficult to describe that the head of the good Alpha family has a butcher appearance, but after all, he is also a serious magician who can receive more than a hundred gold coins every year in the Learning Alliance, and he can't judge people by his appearance.
The servants of the heads of the family set up a banquet on a hill with a vast scenery overlooking the sea of clouds and a dense floating islands in the distance, and when the two heads of the house were seated, they retreated. Of course, two people can't eat so much, but as the head of a family with a long history, this is necessary decency.
What's more, the territories of these two are in the western border of the Federation, and below the territory are the Falling Star Sea and the Four Kingdoms of the Thousand Islands, and they can still get a piece of the increasingly prosperous ocean trade, and the family still has a good foundation.
"I've inquired and the lord loves elven crafts and Auckland-style paintings. So a white jade statue of the 'Dancing Maiden' by the elven carver Rosaman of the last era, as well as the 'Parting Man' by the great Auckland painter Doran have been prepared. Hedos, a big fat man with a meaty face and a fierce face, said carefully.
"Well, the white jade statue is not bad, but what about Daolang's painting...... The lord did like Auckland oil paintings, but he preferred ornate court paintings and bright landscapes, and Daolang's style was too rural. It's better to do this, I have here a picture of the Sun King's spring day hunting, which is the work of Fending. The color is graceful and gorgeous, but it also has the brightness and elegance of landscape painting, so let's exchange it like this. Alexon, who is a few years older, said.
ββ¦β¦ That's a real bother. However, your side ......"
"Naturally, I was well prepared, even the ladies. Naturally, there is no way to reach the Yongchen Palace and Skyrim Castle, but Neosfia can think of a way. Of course, the contemporary king of the night sky is not easy to get along, but I heard that it is quite reasonable; In addition, Miss CΓ©chilean Moore's parents and siblings are also on vacation in Neosfia, and I have already arranged for someone to serve them, so I can earn some familiarity anyway. β
is also a sycophant, and the gap between this level and realm is suddenly revealed.
Hedos was stunned for a moment, wanting to praise sincerely, but he always felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm using the name of the two of us." Alexon said again.
This time, Hedos was really convinced, gave a thumbs up sincerely, and sighed: "You have done it to this extent, what else can I say?" If you need anything in the future, just tell me. β
The two looked at each other silently, and a thousand words flashed for a while. Originally, these two families were good friends, married from generation to generation, and cooperated together to engage in the Falling Star Sea trade, and now they have added the layer of difficult brothers and brothers, and they all feel that each other is more pleasing to the eye for a while. However, after half a minute of this emotional eye contact, both of them invariably withdrew their gazes, and they both felt a little tired for a while.
"I suddenly felt a little sad...... Alexon, who is also the head of the historic Offa Gatekeeper, is now like a third-line salesman from Neosfia, racking his brains to please his customers, counting on his little boon to leak through his fingernails to keep us alive. β
Alexon sighed silently: "So what? After all, we've already been on the wrong side twice, and there's really no way around it. β
"So, in the future, it will be the Sky Empire under the rule of the Colorful Rose, right? We have to bow down. But are you really willing? β
Alexon glanced at the other party, and found that the other party's triangular eyes, which were not beautiful or bright, were quite deep at this time, and he didn't know how many emotions and thoughts were hidden in them.
The dead fat man started pretending again. He thought.
"I'm willing." He said in a rather solemn tone.
The other party let out a noncommittal "oh", and there were no ups and downs in emotion, neither disappointed nor happy.
Alexon pondered for a moment, and then said: "Even if he really opens a dynasty and establishes a sky kingdom, can he kill the whole family of Wilambat, Dandy Lane, and Eurentian?" Although our big families are not as capable as those knight lords on the ground, there are also one or two thousand people in the side branches, so is it possible that they can't really be killed? Even if he built his kingdom on the ruins of the Azure Palace, he wouldn't need a noble lord? Even the most powerful emperors, such as Knous and Gaius, don't they all need nobles to govern the country? What's so bad about that...... Well, or rather, better. Won't our territory in the west become a legitimate prince's domain? In comparison, whether it is the emancipation of slaves, or the reform of the tax system, even if it is the disbandment of more than half of our private soldiers? Don't you see his ability to earn money? If we behave deferfully enough, no, if we can serve him in a down-to-earth manner and become his own people, are we afraid that we will not be able to drink soup after him? You won't fail to see how primitive Norda was before, right? Now, it's only been twenty years, and the wood elves of Noorda have the money to go to Twilight Island to buy the paintings of the noble ancestors of the fallen nobles of the high elves. β
The dead fat man was sluggish, probably because he didn't expect this guy's brain to be so bent, and the same problem would immediately become positive when thinking about it from a different angle. Their Lundrons family has been able to crisscross the changing continental pattern for thousands of years, and the history is still above the Wilambat family, probably because the previous family heads have such characteristics.
"Actually, I've thought about it, our group of Arcane nobles can't learn from the martial arts lords on the ground who have developed limbs and simple minds to be so rude, and the specific titles and titles must be different. For example, our long-established arcane family can be called the crown, representing the authority of the arcane crown; And then it can be called a color point or something. Well, it sounds more cultured than any prince and uncle, right? β
I don't think it's cultured, but it's something to think about. If we take out this set of noble statutes with distinct class personalities, and proclaim that man and his descendants as the eternal king of the sky, the king of the arcane law, then will not our position be guaranteed?
Thinking of this, Hedos showed a convincing and flattering smile, and his butcher-like fierce fat face was a little more amiable and honest at this time.
"I'm with you! If you need anything, just talk to me. The fat man said sincerely.
"Okay, I'll see little Belencas...... When we meet the adult, we can persuade them together. The previous system of rules and regulations should have been drafted by us together. Oh. But until then, it's better to make another contribution, so that you have room to speak in front of that adult. β
Although the two people often lose each other in their hearts, such as "weasel", "gray mole", "dead fat", "orc cook", etc., but in fact, the two families of the era of marriage are almost one, and the two heads of the family do have a rare relationship among the heads of wealthy families, which can be called "friendship", and of course they are willing to advance and retreat together at this time.
Now that the political philosophy of the new "Berencaster dynasty" has been determined, the next step is to study what is in front of us. So, Alexon spoke first, "So, what's going on over there with Elichar?" β
"Kyle Mencius has personally mobilized nearly 70,000 people and is now heading here." Hedos, who was in charge of inquiring about the situation, hurriedly said.
"Seventy thousand? Including the surrender of more than 30,000 troops from the First and Second Army Corps combined? β
"Natural."
"In other words, they still have nearly 30,000 people left in the city of Elichar."
"Yes, and the gendarmes, who are the most capable of fighting, have not been dispatched."
"The son-in-law of the Mencius family is a man of understanding, and as long as Halda Dandilaine and his 10,000 gendarmes are still in the city, Elichar will be able to stabilize for the time being." Alexon sighed: "It's just that their forces are really stretched, and they even used the first and second legions that had just surrendered, so they weren't afraid of defecting?" It was recruited and trained by Agroll himself. β
"Even if it was recruited by Agroll himself, they were all soldiers of the Orso Heavenly District, and they had not been trained for too long, and the officers from all walks of life did not have time to replace them with their own people. As long as he and the ordinary Russellite high-ranking people were killed or imprisoned, they could still be allowed to obey their orders. No matter how you can still catch them into battle. Otherwise, it would be a huge hidden danger to stay in Elichar and ignore it. Hedos had a different opinion.
"Of course, it's impossible to expect them to fight hard. Although theoretically, this group of people should be the last and most capable army under their command. He added.
Alexon said: "Yes, exactly. And I don't know what they are qualified to fight hard. Their main fleet has been destroyed, and with the ones they got back from Octalia, they can barely get together a dozen or twenty warships. How could these 70,000 flesh and blood alone stop that lord's fleet? Stay in the camp on the island and curse loudly as the warship passes over their heads? β
Speaking of this, Hedos suddenly sneered: "The old men have sent three batches of messengers to me, and their attitudes have become softer and softer each time, and their wishes have become bigger and bigger each time, and you are the same here, right?" β
"I've got four batches here." Alexon was also happy.
"But, fortunately, we're not stupid."
"yes, we're not stupid......"
The two of them were a little speechless for a while, they knew that it was not that they were not stupid, but because their parents died relatively early, and their ancestors were wrong several times, so they were a little marginalized in the circle of first-class giants. This is the qualification to disembark. As for those "old men", are they really stupid? It's not because there are too many entanglements with that big, gorgeous ship whose essence is already full of holes, and I can't get off even if I want to.
Thinking of this, the two of them were a little unhappy for a while. They looked at the series of islands not far away, and looked at the transport ships that were constantly transporting troops and supplies to those islands, busy like worker bees, but they all had a little sympathy for the death of rabbits and foxes.
"Hey...... Why bother? Be honest with us, be submissive, and know the times, and you will still be able to live a very free life in the future. β
"Yes, unless they can really build a wall to block the sky, forcing that lord to use no fleet, only one island at a time, and fighting a land war on one island, what's the point of such an effort now? Wait a minute...... What is that? β
"This, this...... Does Mencius have this ability? β
"He has the ability to challenge Orucello Berenkast a long time ago!"
"But it's not magic...... Wait, could it be that? β
As the heads of the wealthy family of Ofa, the two naturally know many secrets that mortals don't know. At the same time, they thought of the legendary thing, looked at each other, and for a moment they were shocked.
