Chapter 27: Ocard's Reincarnation (Part II)
"I'm so sorry to have you come here. Everything is from the order of the Speaker, and I hope you Haihan. The silver-white masked man spoke. His wording was very strange, and his tone was so flat that one could not help but speculate that his lingua franca was actually extremely bad, and that what he was talking about now was the result of a translation spell.
"We're just on the orders of the Speaker to know about our recent relationship with Erios." An elderly lawmaker said.
"yes, what's the situation?" The fat councillor asked urgently.
"Everything is as you think," said the masked man in his unchanging tone, "the five regiments of soldiers sent by the Speaker to hunt down the traitor Victoria Douglas in Elrios, including the lawbreakers, have all been killed by the daring Elrios. The five sets of equipment of the Spellbreaker all fell into the hands of the French power of Elrios. ”
There was a commotion among the members of the House of Representatives. The Spellbreaker Force is a very precious special force, and there are only more than a hundred people in the whole of Okad. Moreover, sending soldiers to secretly infiltrate each other's territory would also be a huge damage to the relationship between the two countries.
"We have to make up for the loss." The old councillor said.
"yes!" The fat councilor shouted loudly, "How many lawbreakers are equipped in total?" I lost five sets at once. The Errios have got our hands on us. ”
"What did Erios offer?" A young MP asked.
"50,000 gold coins, plus an additional trade tax payment of 5 percent per year for the next three years, or a public apology plus 5,000 gold coins and an additional trade volume payment of 1 percent per year for the next three years, and so on." The masked man said unhurriedly.
"It's too much!" One councillor yelled, "Why didn't he grab it?" "With the power of the Okad Federation, 50,000 gold coins is not a lot of money, but now that it is rebuilt, any gold coin must be spent on the cutting edge, and the five percent trade tax is beyond the limit that the Federation can tolerate; As for the other plan, although the loss is small, such a loss of power and humiliation of the country is also something that the Okadians will never accept.
"They sit on the ground and pay back on the spot." A middle-aged congressman said. The deputies nodded their heads.
"They need trade with us more than we do. Even if we do nothing, we are just condemned by them. A female parliamentarian also said.
The Okad Federation is not afraid of the Erios Legacy. However, the Federation, which had consumed too much of its national strength in the civil war, was undoubtedly at a disadvantage in dealing with foreign countries.
But the fat congressman apparently had something else in mind.
"The Speaker didn't call us here just to give bad news, did he?" He raised his voice, "The speaker won't summon us in a hurry without even coming up with a solution to the problem, right?" ”
So far, even the stupidest parliamentarians can see that something is wrong. No one looked at the fat councillor with the eyes of a fool anymore, and everyone looked at him with awe.
This guy ...... I've been yelling and yelling.,Dare to love the childcare of the speaker!
"When did this bastard become the Speaker's confidant?" Someone cursed in his heart. But right now, people have to watch them finish the double reed.
"Dare to ask Mr. Congressman, what is the basis for the victory or defeat in the contest between countries?" The masked man asked slowly.
"It's power, sir!" The fat councillor exclaimed, "As long as we have the power to shut up the Elrios, they won't say anything more!" ”
"That's true."
"Can you show us, sir? We've just lost five Spellbreakers. The Spellbreaker is Ocard's most valuable power. ”
"It's all up to the Speaker to calculate. Come with me. ”
The masked man walked towards the basement of the armory. The basement door was locked, but when the masked man pushed the door, it opened automatically. The four generals followed, followed by a line of parliamentarians.
"It's cold in here." Someone complained.
But then, when the councillors saw the scene in the basement, their eyes widened one by one, and no one cared about the temperature anymore.
What catches your eye is a jungle-like sea of armor and shields. When was the basement expanded to this size? The crowd didn't know. But...... Perhaps while everyone was in the midst of all the noise, there was enough armor to arm an army.
"The gods are above," a middle-aged councilor stroked one of the shields for a long time, "and an anti-magic field has been applied to this shield. ”
"Every shield is, all of them are, and the armor is made according to the standards of the lawbreakers," the old councillor stared at the forest of equipment in front of him, "and these equipment are enough to arm a legion of lawbreakers." Pregnant...... With these ......"
The councillor excitedly observed the equipment in front of him. Could it be that the great speaker has discovered an ancient treasure? All the equipment looks brand new.
"Two thousand anti-demon shields, two thousand delicate heavy armors," the masked man's voice sounded, "This is a gift from the Speaker to you." ”
"With these, we can launch a surprise attack directly! The Errios were absolutely unstoppable. A young lawmaker excited.
"Don't be stupid," the old councillor glanced at him, "Errios has been a country for a thousand years, has deep roots, and has a lot of hole cards...... But that alone is enough to make the arrogant Elrios mages jealous. ”
"I see, this is our plan," the fat councillor said with a "suddenly realized" expression, "Next, we just need to rely on our connections to accidentally 'leak' this news to the Errios......"
"They will understand what we mean," said one female MP, "and we will get the negotiations back on track in our favor......
The four generals monitored all this. From beginning to end, they didn't say a word.
-----------------------
In the cemetery.
General Joel fell into deep thought. Speaker Nicholas waved his hand, and the scene in the armory vanished before the eyes of the two of them.
"It's almost over," said the Speaker, "what do you think?" ”
"Very good, my lord," Joel said sincerely, "There is no such thing as an army of 2,000 lawbreakers in the history of the continent. It's just that there is one thing that his subordinates don't understand, and he asks Lord Nicholas to make it clear. ”
"Please."
"Why show such a valuable resource to these unsuccessful guys? The so-called hole cards are called hole cards because they are hidden. Even if we don't compensate the Elios for a single gold coin, the well-pampered Elios will not dare to wage war against us, and there is no need to intimidate them with an army of would-be lawbreakers. Why bother scaring the snake? ”
General Joel did not ask about the origin of the equipment. If it is an ancient treasure excavated from the ground, it is just a matter of luck after all; But if Speaker Nicholas already has the ability to mass-produce anti-magic equipment in large quantities...... That's terrible.
"That's a good point. Anything else? ”
"Having enough equipment for spellbreakers doesn't mean you have an army of spellbreakers. Qualified law breakers require rigorous training. With all due respect, those in our army who are immediately qualified to break the law are selected among the best, and they are not more than ...... Eight hundred. ”
"You said a lot. However, I would like to use one sentence as an answer to all your questions. ”
"Please."
"This is just the beginning, General," Speaker Nicholas Best said calmly, "and in my plans, these spellbreaker gear are only insignificant. ”
The general was stunned. He stared into the Speaker's eyes to make sure he wasn't lying. But the general knew it in his heart...... The Speaker doesn't lie.
Nothing that Nicholas Best promised could not be fulfilled. Even these spellbreaker gear, which made the councillors ecstatic, were just an ordinary hand card for Nicholas.
"A dear friend of mine told me that a true mage ends a battle before it even begins. You understand what I mean, General. The Speaker looked at the general.
General Joel knelt before the Speaker. He was disappointed that he had speculated about the intentions of the Speaker. Mortals should not speculate on the will of God, and the Speaker is the omnipotent god of the Okard soldiers.
And Nicholas's gaze swept over the endless tombstones. Under each tombstone, there is a life that was once loyal to him.
This was just the beginning, the Supreme Leader of Okad silently thought. Even if it's over, it will start over.
