, "The empire needs me" Chen Jian looked at the two letters from his hand and sneered, the old me, or does I need Hammondal? Or maybe maybe it's an alliance between me and the elementals

These two letters were delivered to Castle Harmondale last night and this morning, respectively, by two griffon knights who had set out from White Cliff Pass.

Empress Catherine's sudden overtures made Jian Chen disdainful.

If it weren't for the luck of the elemental clan appearing in time, he would have died under the long-handled scythe of the Krigan demons.

Again, if it's not for luck. The elemental clan blocked the road between Harmondale Castle and Fort Werning, and used a huge force to deter the emperor, so that the emperor did not dare to act rashly, and Hammondale Castle may have been trampled by the iron hooves of the emperor.

Now Catherine even dares to say to herself that everything is just a misunderstanding?

Yes, it was a misunderstanding. But this misunderstanding will kill you!

Jian Chen didn't want to put his life threatened again because of such a misunderstanding.

The feeling that someone above his head could decide his life and death at will made Jian Chen super unhappy.

He is not like the half-elf Pete or the big-eared monster Orison, who grew up in this world, and is willing to swear allegiance to those who have the grace of knowing them under the influence of this world culture.

He is from another world. His cultural education made him unable to accept what was going on with him.

Moreover, the rotten ship of the Erathia Empire that was about to sink, there was no need for Chen Jianjue's self to stay any longer.

While the ship is not completely sunk. Hurry up and build yourself a brand new lifeboat

。

Even if this self-made lifeboat is a small raft, it will eventually sink in the ocean of the continent of Erathia, but at least I have worked hard, instead of sitting on the rotten ship that is destined to sink and passively waiting for death.

It is always better to control your own destiny in your own hands, relying on the mountains, relying on everyone, and relying on your own best.

Leave your fate in Catherine's hands. Wouldn't it be fun to let her fate change with her ups and downs?

But for now, Catherine's overtures, Jian Chen is still happy to accept, no way, who makes the empire's fist bigger than his own?

Although a big fist can't solve all problems, a big fist can solve a lot of problems.

Jian Chen was very eager for his fist to grow bigger as soon as possible.

But it takes time, and it's not a short time.

So Chen Jian wrote a reply letter in a very sad and angry tone, and handed it to the griffin knight who had been lying in Harmondale Castle.

This griffin knight was ordered by Empress Catherine to obtain a reply from Jian Chen no matter what, before he could return to White Cliff Pass.

In the letter, Chen Jian said that after the incident at Fort Werning, he felt quite disappointed in the empire and the empress, and also questioned whether his personal safety in the empire could be effectively guaranteed in the future, so he couldn't decide what he should do now for a while, and asked the empress to give him a little time to think about it.

This is not an excessive request. Jian Chen believed that Catherine should agree.

After sending this griffin knight away. Chen Jian fell into deep thought.

The plan he had drawn up on the spur of the moment had so far gone well, or rather, it had been better than he expected.

Through the information brought back by the scouts and the information from the dwarf king Hesfa, Chen Jian surmised. There is currently a rather delicate state between the Empire and the Elementals.

It was clear that the Empire did not want to provoke the Elementals, and the Elementals did not seem to want to deal with the Empire, but there was a faint hostility between the two sides.

Therefore, Chen Jian deliberately told the false news that he had formed an alliance with the Elemental Clan in front of Mrak, in order to make the Empire and Catherine afraid of the Elemental Clan, and not dare to easily attack himself and Harmondale City because of their fear of the Elemental Clan.

At the same time, he also asked the soldiers to deliberately say something favorable to him in front of Mrak, hoping that these words would reach Catherine, and then see if they could use this to slightly influence her and the Empire's attitude towards him.

Originally, Chen Jian just wanted to use this to delay time so that he could make the next step more calmly.

But to his surprise. For this reason, Catherine actually wanted to pull herself back to the side of the Empire, and then use her alliance with the Elemental Clan to try to establish a good relationship between the Empire and the Elemental Clan.

Not to be stunned, Jian Chen admired Catherine's bearing, although his act of kidnapping Mlak could be said to be a last resort, but the matter of snatching the equipment of Danion's army could have been avoided.

What's more, he also spread the remark that he had formed an alliance with the Elemental Clan and was going to conduct a military operation against the Emperor, although this was to intimidate Catherine and the Empire and achieve the purpose of increasing the weight of his chess piece in this chess game, but this kind of behavior is undoubtedly a naked rebellion.

In this way, Catherine actually endured it, but lowered her posture and begged to show favor to herself.

She can endure what others can't endure. Or do you really want to return to the empire on your own?

Chen Jian can't be sure, and he doesn't want to be sure, he thinks that now, he shouldn't let this kind of thing shake his determination.

Now on the empire's side, I don't have to worry about it for the time being, it's old for a short time, and I said, the emperor ** should no longer be unfavorable to himself. Now we need to solve the relationship between the Shame and the Elemental Family.

As long as you can form an alliance with the elementals, you can rest easy.

Anyway, now that the goal of the Cregans is no longer on their own, I think they should not work hard to break through the blockade of the Emperor ** and the Elemental Clan, and then attack the city of Hammondale that seems to have no meaning to them.

Unless they really want to attack the empire from this ark.

for how to deal with elemental families. Jian Chen already has a draft.

The so-called Hammondale Union. He knew that he would definitely not be able to hide these elemental people for long, and he knew with his toes that Edmund would definitely find a way to find out the details of the Hammondale Alliance in his mouth after he returned, and then he would decide his attitude towards himself.

So he moves very fast. The next day, he had already started to implement his plan.

Now that there were no major problems on the Empire's side, he decided to test the elementals' reactions now.

This is considered a failure in the negotiation with the elemental people, and Jian Chen doesn't care.

The worst-case scenario is just the same as before, being besieged by the Elemental army again, and the result is no different anyway. Jian Chen was also out of the way.

Taking out the Earth Elemental Crystal that Earth Elemental Monarch Edmund had left for him, Jian Chen poured all his insignificant magic power into it.

With an infusion of magic. The Earth Elemental Crystal emitted a dazzling yellow glow.

Then a voice suddenly came out of this spar: "Your Excellency Chen Jian, it's you."

"It's me, Lord Edmund!" As Jian Chen replied, he marveled at the magic of this earth elemental crystal in his hand, what is this? The otherworldly version of the fixed-point call spar phone? This thing is better than that. The time-consuming and laborious Magic Letter Teleportation Array is much easier to use.

The identity of the other party was confirmed. Edmund smiled and said, "Your Excellency Chen Jian, don't you know what is the matter with me?" I'm so sorry. My people and I are still discussing an alliance with you, and you may have to wait a few more days! ”

Jian Chen also smiled and said, "I'm not looking for you for this matter, but there is something I think I should talk to you first!" ”

"What's the matter?" Edmund was a little puzzled, this Chen Jian was looking for a self-bow, not for the sake of an alliance, but for what else?

Chen Jian said lightly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to tell you, I just reached a reconciliation with the Erathia Empire, and now the Erathia Empire and my Hammondale Alliance have temporarily ceased war, although it has not been officially proposed, but the Erathia Empire seems to have the intention of forming an alliance with me, and they seem to want to join forces with me to fight against the Cregans and you elemental clans!" In a few days, they will send official envoys to my side to negotiate, and I hope you will get your soldiers to release them and not embarrass them! By the way, these envoys seem to be angels, don't be mistaken. ”

"What?" Edmund, the Earth Elemental Monarch, was startled, almost not thinking that there was something wrong with his hearing, "Your Hammondale Alliance has made a truce with the Erathian Empire?" ”

"Yes, there's nothing surprising about that, you know, our Hammondale Alliance, though it's just been formed, isn't that easy to bully! They won't be able to take advantage, and I'm afraid that I'll join forces with the Krigan or you elementals, so it's normal for them to have such a reaction! ”

Jian Chen continued to blow nonsense.

After listening to Jian Chen's words, Edmund couldn't help but be silent.

This Jian Chen actually reached a reconciliation with the Erathia Empire, and the Erathia Empire still wanted to form an alliance with him?

What kind of powerful force is his Hammondale Alliance? Not only can it compete with the Erathian Empire, but can it force this powerful empire to have to ally with them?

In the past two days, Edmund has been trying to inquire about the Hammondale Alliance, but there is not a single civilian in the Hammondale area except for Chen Jian's Hammondale City, and the iconic appearance of the elemental people doomed him to be unable to send people to secretly infiltrate other places to find out the news, so Edmund had to risk his idea to hit the head of the Emperor ** team.

He wanted to take a few Imperial soldiers back and ask about the Hammondale Alliance.

But the scouts of the emperor ** are basically griffin knights, and it is impossible to catch a living griffin knight, and whenever there is no hope of escape, these griffin knights will not hesitate to end their lives with the only dagger.

Although Edmund has done some historical research on the Erathian Empire, he doesn't know anything about this tradition of griffin knights, and after a few misses, the emperor ** also discovered the anomaly, and began to send a large team of men to patrol and reconnoitre, Edmund can no longer find a chance to start, and almost clashed head-on with the emperor.

For this reason, Edmund had to ask the other three Elemental Sovereigns who were fighting elsewhere to help him find out the news, but the Elemental Sovereigns, who had always been at odds with each other, ignored this request, and they were more keen to fight the Kerrigans.

As a result, the time dragged on for two days. Before Edmund could figure out the details of Chen Chuang, Chen Jian had already found him and broke out such a surprising news to him.
