Chapter 831: Meaningless War Broken negotiations

Tanan departed, taking the Ice Sword that Jian Chen had returned to him, and he was ready to find a secret place to seal what he thought was an ominous sword, and he had decided to make it disappear until he found the right way to destroy it.

He was so anxious to get this done, so he didn't stay in Novo Migburg, and after saying hello to his family, he would travel again for the time being.

However, before leaving, Tanan left another thing for Jian Chen.

He left the forbidden magic ball that he had always treasured to Jian Chen.

"I hope this treasure can replace the Ice Sword and help the great cause of the Entagri Empire!"

Tanan originally had no intention of giving out the forbidden magic ball, which was his talisman, but now, his mind had changed, and Jian Chen had completely convinced him.

This unexpected gift surprised Jian Chen.

He found that he really pretended to be right once he pretended B.

Although the Ice Sword is good, it is a dead thing after all, Chen Jian feels that such a dead thing is not as helpful to the Entagri Empire as the dedicated assistance of Tanan, a thousand-year-old demon, and he has already begun to think about how to exploit Tanan's labor force after Tanan comes back this time, not to mention, Tanan also gave him a forbidden magic ball similar to the effect of the Ice Sword.

This night, although he was a little sleep-deficient, Chen Jian's mood couldn't be better.

At the same time, Gru, who was in the southwestern part of Krurod and had to retreat in a hurry because of a failed night attack, was furious.

After Tanan opened the forbidden space, Gru didn't actually retreat immediately, although he ordered to stop the attack and created the illusion that he had already evacuated.

He quickly moved to another pre-arranged hiding place with the Guardian of the Jungle warriors, believing that the barbarians would not expect him to be so bold, and that he thought he still had a chance.

But what happened next was something he didn't expect, and before he could hide it again, the forbidden demon space suddenly disappeared again, and Tanan appeared and rebelled, killing Korg, taking the Ice Sword, and then using magic to escape.

Everything happened so fast that Rao was too late to react to a figure like Gru, and by the time he came to his senses, Tanan was long gone on the ground, leaving only the miserable corpse of Korg and the many barbarian soldiers who were at a loss because of the king's unexpected death.

"Tanan!"

Before leaving, Banjīng Ling gritted his teeth and squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.

Gru knew Tanan, and also knew that Tanan had joined the Entagri Empire, as early as when he had failed to ambush Alice and others, he had already linked the tall figure who rescued Alice with Tanan, and secretly did a lot of investigation for this.

Gru was really angry when he was ruined by Tanan twice in a row, and what made him even more angry was that Tanan was still helping the Entagri Empire, which meant that the Ice Sword had fallen into the hands of the Entagri Empire.

I never expected that the Entagri Empire would still have such a hand, Gru understood that his plan to destroy the world had suffered an unprecedented major setback, and it could even be said to be a complete failure, and the current Jīng Spirit Kingdom had no capital to fight against the Entagri Empire, and if the Entagri Empire knew about the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword, he would definitely take the Ice Sword properly, and he wanted to take the Ice Sword from the hands of the Entagri Empire, although it could not be said that it was as difficult as ascending to the sky, But it's not far off.

And without the Sword of Ice, he has no way to destroy this sinful world.

Jīng Xin has been planning a plan for so many years, and at the last minute, it turned out to be such a result, how could Gru not be angry.

After returning to his military camp with the magic scroll, Gru, who had always been sensible, still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart for a long time, and the blow of this failure was too big for him to bear - if he couldn't destroy this world with the Sword of Doom and the Sword of Ice, the half-jīng spirit felt that his life would lose its proper meaning.

As a result, his emotions began to be in a state of great unrest.

So the next morning, he did not give the order to raise the camp and continue the march, in fact he did not give any orders, he stayed in his tent, holding the blade of doom in his hand, and remained in a state of flux, with a change of expression on his face.

This situation naturally made his subordinates quite uneasy, and naturally made Magnus very puzzled, and he wrote to Gru to ask why he did not continue the march, but after waiting for most of the day without receiving any reply, he sent an emissary to Gru's military camp to contact, but was turned away by the Jīng spirits.

Magnus sensed that something was not right, and at this time, the scouts in front finally reported the news that Korg's army had been suddenly attacked last night, that Korg had been stabbed to death, and that the whereabouts of the Ice Sword were unknown.

Moreover, all kinds of signs indicate that it was the Jīng Spirit Clan who attacked the Korg army.

Magnus was furious.

The Immortal King, who didn't know what role Tanan and the Entagri Empire played in this incident, mistakenly thought that Gru had already snatched the Ice Sword first, although he was puzzled as to why Gru had such a strange performance after he succeeded, but Magnus was obviously not in the mood to pay attention to this kind of detail now, and he was very arbitrary that the reason why Gru didn't show up must have run away with the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword and continued to plot something, The reason why the Jīng Spirit Clan army is still here is probably just a trick by the Gru Envoy.

has been calculating how to get the blade of doom and the sword of ice together, but in the end, he found that Magnus, who had been greatly tricked by someone, jumped like thunder, he brazenly ordered the Bracada army to launch a full-scale attack on the jīng spirit king**, in the recent period, all kinds of unfortunate things have continued, and he has also accumulated a lot of anger, and now, he finally can't help but completely explode, and hit the jīng spirit army on the muzzle of his gun and close in front of him, Naturally, he became the priority object of his anger.

Magnus, who was so angry that he lost his mind, turned out to be very unwise, because Gru hadn't left as he thought, and Gru still had the Blade of Doom in his hand.

The attack of the Bracada army made the half-jīng spirit, who was already a little out of control, finally go berserk, and he ordered a counterattack, and personally used the Doomsday Blade.

A devastating battle unfolded in the southwestern region of Krurod, with both sides paying a heavy price for their impulsive actions.

The battle was heated at the beginning, and the sudden appearance of the Doomsday Blade made the angry Magnus ecstatic, so the Bracada Army's original military operation to retaliate against Xìng became a military operation aimed at seizing the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword, not knowing that the Ice Sword was actually not in Gru's hands, nor knowing that if the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword were in Gru's hands, his own move would be quite dangerous, Magnus was single-mindedly trying to grab these two artifacts through this battle, Under his command, the Bracada army went on the offensive like a cháo, with various pre-developed tactics taking turns.

Magnus wanted to seize the Doomsday Blade, and the Bracada army naturally prepared various ways to deal with the Doomsday Blade attack in advance, and there were many people, but the Jīng Spirit Kingdom was not weak, and Gru also made a lot of preparations, and the Doomsday Blade suppressed the other party, which was inexplicably attacked, and it was a little unprepared, but the victory was with the help of the Doomsday Blade, and the two sides fought a vicious battle, but in the end it ended up being a defeat for both sides.

By the time this farce finally came to an end, the Jīng Spirit Army that Gru brought to Krurod was already one of the ten, Gru himself took the initiative to flee the battlefield at the last moment with a group of henchmen, and most of the other troops of the Bracada Army were disabled except for the mage legion, and the nearly 100 flying ships that were finally saved were also lost in this battle, which could only be regarded as a crushing victory, and it was not as Magnus wished to intercept Gru and others who escaped with magic and snatched the Doomsday Blade and the Ice Sword in their hands, which was more than worth the loss.

This was originally a senseless war, but it had a profound impact on the situation on the continent of Erathia.

The Bracada Kingdom and the Jīng Spirit Kingdom broke up, and the complete collapse of the Holy Alliance was needless to say, after the already great loss of strength of the Jīng Spirit Kingdom, the main force Jīng Rui was almost empty, and this once old power is now getting weaker and weaker, and it can no longer send troops to fight abroad, so it can only be trapped in the place of Eri.

The Kingdom of Bracada was also devastated by this battle, Magnus regretted it and lost the strength to settle accounts with the barbarians, so he let Trossa lead his troops to the Titaria Marsh, but he himself took the rest of the troops to prepare to withdraw from Krurod and return to the Kingdom of Bracada.

After the death of King Krurod, the remnants of the Krurod Kingdom were also torn apart, and Krurod's third wife, Jiss, tried to reintegrate the barbarians, but was unable to convince the people, and died in the rebellion launched by her subordinates, and the forbidden demon cloak she was carrying disappeared, and her whereabouts were unknown, and the Krurod Kingdom as a separate force has existed in name only.

Coupled with the recent defeat of the Erathia Empire in the Krurod region, Catherine was busy with the cooperation between the Enlos Empire and the Entagre Empire, the Erathia Army has not made any major moves for the time being, and the Enros Empire has not yet recovered from the defeat of Ery, and is busy redeploying troops and adjusting strategic objectives. The rest of the continent of Erathia was suddenly much calmer.

This calm lasted for a while.

Then the time finally entered the winter of this year.

It was a very cold winter for the inhabitants of the Erathia Empire, and not long after the onset of winter, the Great Plains, which is located in the center of the continent, was snowing one after another, and many places were covered with snow, and even snow crushed houses.

The bustling imperial capital, Standwick, has finally lost its former hustle and bustle in the harsh winter, and the knee-high snow-covered streets are rarely seen, and most people are hiding in their homes around the fireplace to keep warm, or passing the time in places like taverns.

However, the atmosphere in Geffenhardt Castle did not seem to be affected by the harsh winter, and the envoys sent by the Enroth Empire and the Entagri Empire were in the special negotiation hall of Catherine in the castle every day.

Catherine, who acted as the arbiter, was physically and mentally exhausted.

Catherine is not stupid, like Jian Chen, she has also sensed that the Enlos Empire does not have much sincerity in this negotiation, but Catherine does not intend to give up, she thinks that she still has a chance to convince Roland, she firmly believes that she can do a little, she believes that as long as Roland finds out that the Entagrean Empire is far more powerful than he imagined, he will definitely realize how unwise it is to go to war with the Entagrean Empire, after all, a protracted war will not benefit all parties, The Enroth Empire is no exception.

Of course, Catherine also understands that her thinking is a bit naïve, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will not give up her efforts, three empires, one is the hometown where she was born and raised, one is the home of her husband, and the other is the ideal country that she once worked hard for and wanted to achieve, until the end, she does not want to give up any of them, and in this matter, she is extremely greedy.

What makes Catherine quite pleased is that compared to the lack of sincerity of the Entagre Empire, on the side of the Entagre Empire, Chen Jian gave her unreserved support, although Roland's attitude is a little ambiguous, but there has been progress, since the beginning of the negotiations, under her persuasion, Roland has agreed to give up more than a dozen cooperation terms that the Entagri Empire cannot agree.

Overall, things are still developing in the direction of good xìng.

On this day, Catherine was in a particularly good mood early in the morning, because just last night, she finally moved Roland to abandon the clause in the terms of cooperation that required the Entagri Empire to agree to let the Enroth Empire buy air warships.

This clause is the biggest obstacle in the negotiations between the two sides at present, because it is a matter of military secrets, and the Entagri Empire does not agree to such unreasonable conditions at all, and the Enroth Empire has been very tough on this matter, and the two sides cannot negotiate at all.

But now, Roland was finally willing to give in, which gave Catherine a boost of confidence, and she felt that she was not far from success.

Catherine happily finished her breakfast with a good mood she had never felt before, but just as she was about to get up and leave the table, bad news suddenly came.

An important emissary sent by the Enroth Empire to negotiate with Andrei. Stone, who was found assassinated in his residence this morning, and died in a tragic state that could not be resurrected by magic, and a badly killed Entagri Empire was also found at the scene, and a badge of the Entagrean Empire that seemed to have been accidentally left behind by the assassin was also found at the scene.

The news came to Catherine's ears like a bolt from the blue.

This time, among the envoys sent by the Enlos Empire, there were three envoys who led the negotiations, and these three envoys all had a high status in the Enlos Empire. Stone is one of them, it is worth mentioning that he is also a famous nobleman in the Enlos Empire, whose territory is located in the frozen plateau in the north of the Enlos Continent, and Anthony is a very important figure in the Enlos Empire. The eldest son of the Earl of Stone.

How could such an important figure be assassinated in Gffenhardt Castle at this critical moment when negotiations are about to make significant progress?

Catherine sat at the table, her eyes staring at the empty tray in front of her, and she felt only a chill all over her body.

In this moment, she figured out a lot of things.

Others may not know, but as the empress of the Enlos Empire, how could she, who had been helping Roland govern before returning to the Erathia Empire, did not know about Andre. Stone was the single biggest obstacle Roland encountered in the aristocracy when he introduced the New Deal?

And Andrey. Stone was his father's right-hand man, and both father and son had been Roland's heart problem during that time.

When she found out that Andrei had been sent as an envoy, Catherine already felt that something was wrong, and now that Andrei was suddenly assassinated, Catherine finally came back to her senses.

Some time ago, Andrei's father, who also led the army to participate in the battle against the Erimirin Forest. Earl Stone is said to have died heroically in the Battle of Wetland.

Now, the negotiation that had been planned to move Jiāo's hand in a few days was stabbed to death after returning to China to inherit his father's title.

Not to mention that Andre's assassination has obvious flaws, in the battle of Wetland City, Humphrey was able to escape with a large group of senior generals, and how could Anthony, who was only one line behind Humphrey's status, not be able to escape together, this incident is also very unusual.

Catherine even suspected that all this had been planned by Roland a long time ago, because no matter how you look at it, if these things were really premeditated as Catherine guessed, the ultimate beneficiaries were Roland, Anthony and his son died, Roland's resistance to implementing the new policy in China was greatly reduced, and the negotiations broke down because of the assassination, Roland was also on Catherine's side, anyway, even if Catherine knew that all this had nothing to do with him, he could be inferred that his subordinates made their own decisions, he didn't know, At that time, although the husband and wife will inevitably have some mustard, they can avoid many frontal conflicts, and at the same time, they can also indirectly hint to Catherine, so that she will retreat from this matter and no longer continue to entangle.

"Roland......" Thinking about these things, Catherine couldn't help but sigh deeply, and her heart was depressed.

"It's not a clever trick, but it's surprisingly effective!"

She knew that things would not turn any other way.
