Second, when the king was writing the letter. Chen Jianzheng and Catherine are together. They negotiated with the emissary of the Elemental Clan, the Fire Elemental Monarch Fera.

The negotiation process was uneventful, and both sides had already agreed on temporary cooperation, and the two sides had formed an offensive and defensive alliance before defeating a common enemy.

Of course, Catherine carried out this in the name of the Empire, which was also agreed by the Empire, although the alien race is excluded, but let the alien dog eat the dog, Kendall is obviously quite willing, and these things are Catherine's worries, he is just sitting back and enjoying the results, and it is beneficial and harmless to the Empire, if he does not agree, it will be quiet.

But this alliance is limited to the limited cooperation between the two sides on the battlefield, and does not involve other aspects, at this point, the elemental clan is unexpectedly tough, but because she only has the intention of using the other party, Catherine is not too forceful, anyway, after defeating the Cregans, the empire and the elemental clan are afraid that they will not be able to coexist harmoniously.

Maybe when the time comes, the Empire's butcher's knife will take the initiative to raise it against the elementals, and under the leadership of Kendall, plus the temptation of the moving elemental castle, this possibility is quite high.

Now Catherine has to think about how to make the most of the Elementals on the battlefield in order to achieve her strategic goal of defeating both the Elementals and the Kregans.

Before leaving, she hopes to clear some more obstacles for the Empire.

After the negotiation was over, on the way back, Jian Chen asked Catherine to pick up the sorceress.

In Jian Chen's opinion, his task should be considered complete, the covenant has been reached, and the Fire Elemental Monarch has also accepted the magic letter teleportation array given by Catherine for communication between the two sides, and the two sides can contact directly in the future, and there should be nothing to do with themselves, but what annoys him is that Catherine doesn't think so.

"Now the cooperation between me and the elemental clan has just begun, maybe there will be some problems in the future, maybe you will need to help coordinate at that time, and when I am sure that there are no problems, I will return Master Temple to you in good health, you don't have to worry about this! Speaking of which, you seem to be very valued among the elemental clan, the little Hammondale Alliance can make them so courteous, I thought you took refuge in them, but now it seems that I have misunderstood, and it seems that you are only in a relationship of equal cooperation, I really don't understand, how did you do this? With the weak power in your hands, there's no reason why they would pay so much attention to you, right? ”

Seeing that the other party rejected his request, Chen Jian was disappointed, of course, he didn't have a good face, he snorted coldly and said: "I'm just convincing people with virtue, not everyone is the same as you, just use strength to measure whether the other party is worthy of cooperation."

Catherine's face changed slightly with this obviously very targeted sentence, and she sighed and said, "You don't have to use this kind of talk to squeeze me, I know how despicable and shameless what I do in your eyes, although you don't want to understand my distress, but I don't mind, the thing has been done." I have to do it to the end, all for the future of Apple! ”

"The future of the Empire?" Jian Chen sneered, "Even if this decaying empire has a future, how many people will know what you are doing now?" How many people will know how much sacrifice you have made for this, the Empire? How many people will know how much you have done against your will for the sake of the Empire? For the sake of this empire, will you not hesitate to live in the condemnation of your conscience in the future? ”

Catherine asked lightly, "I didn't do anything unreasonable to Master Temp, why was I condemned by my conscience?" ”

Chen Jian said in a cold voice: "Tens of thousands of imperial soldiers who are loyal to you alone, I think it will be enough for you to have nightmares in the middle of the night in the future."

Catherine was stunned when she heard this, and then her face changed greatly.

Her plan Even Christine and other senior generals didn't notice it, but they didn't expect Jian Chen to guess it.

These tens of thousands of soldiers have always been a pain in Catherine's heart.

In Catherine's eyes, these soldiers are the most loyal guards of the Empire, they can understand their own thoughts, and they are willing to fight for the tomorrow of the Empire, but now, they have to be counted as well.

Catherine didn't want to do that, but what could she do?

Leaving them in the Erathian Empire would only be a source of civil strife, but Catherine couldn't take them all to Enroth.

Although she has the ability to use magic to use magic to reach Enroth like Jian Chen, the important thing is that even if she arrives at Enloth, it can't change the fact that they are the ** team of the Erathia Emperor, and this is still an army that is only loyal to her Catherine, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as arrogant soldiers.

Her husband, Roland, is the ruler of Enlos, right. It's not wrong that she is the queen of Enlos, but the queen is not the emperor after all, so what is the matter with bringing so many troops to Enlos from her mother's family? And those nobles and ministers under Roland, who looked at themselves first?

Even if he only brings a few capable subordinates, such as Christine and others, how to settle them after returning is a problem, as outsiders, they will definitely be favored by everyone, and the power struggle has always been cruel, when the time comes, I am afraid that Christine and others will never have the opportunity to show their talents, at most they will only be an obscure and nominal aristocratic lord

And he has been away from Enlos for so long, and he has become the empress of the Erathian Empire, which is already very criticized in Enlos, and many nobles of Enroth think that their power is too heavy, and if they go back with their soldiers, and ask Roland to arrange for their mother's family to enter Enlos's army, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Roland has been hard enough over the years, plus he has not reigned for so many years, there must be a lot of troubles after he goes back, how can he still make trouble for him at this time?

It's better to find a way to deal with your own affairs and leave, Catherine doesn't want to annoy Roland for her own reasons

Whether it's for the sake of the Erathian Empire, or for the Iron Fist of Enroth, or for Roland, this army must find a way to deal with it.

And war is undoubtedly the best way to make an army disappear, and this is still a war against the Kerrigans, and Catherine has a reason to settle accounts with the Kerrigans, both in public and private.

With the Kerrigan people, the excuse is a cover, and the image she has always had, not many people should be able to guess what Catherine thinks about herself, but now, the meaning revealed in Chen Jian's words faintly shows that he knows his thoughts.

What would be the consequences if this news was spread in this army? Will they become suspicious and betray themselves, or even openly turn hostile to the Empire in anger?

If this happens, then all your plans will be broken up and all your previous achievements will be lost.

Thinking of such consequences, Catherine's heart fluttered at once.

She didn't understand how Jian Chen guessed her thoughts, and she didn't understand what kind of purpose Jian Chen had in hinting at this time.

Now that he had guessed what he was thinking, if he wanted to do it, he could have done it a long time ago, why wait until this time?

Was he trying to threaten himself so that he could release the sorceress?

Catherine peeked at Jian Chen, but unexpectedly found that the other party was also observing herself, and now Catherine finally confirmed that the other party was Xuanyi who said so.

Catherine was suspicious here, but Jian Chen secretly regretted it

He didn't say it premeditated, as Catherine thought, but he was just a little angry and unscrupulous.

As soon as the words came out, Jian Chen began to regret it.

If Catherine were to kill in anger, she would be in big trouble.

He had also thought of using rumors to break the morale of Catherine's army, but after much thought, he gave up on this idea.

At this time, it is not good for him, a relatively stable environment is more favorable for him who wants to leave Hammondale, without Catherine, he is afraid that the Imperial side will be unfavorable to him.

However, now that the alliance between the Elemental Clan and the Empire has been reached, Catherine has already had a prerequisite for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

He didn't expect that Catherine was actually worried and jealous.

And Catherine didn't kill him now, in fact, because of Jian Chen's stimulation on her in several things, she didn't want to do anything to disturb her conscience.

After that, neither of them spoke again, but Catherine deliberately slowed down her horse and walked slowly, and she walked three times longer than usual in the short distance from the Elemental Clan's garrison to the outside of Hammondal.

Because she needs time to think about countermeasures.

Jian Chen didn't understand Catherine's intentions, and he was very uneasy in his heart, so he had to be secretly on guard.

But no matter how slow Catherine was, the road quickly came to an end, and when the group reached the outside of Hammondale, they had to part ways to return to the castle, and Catherine had to rush back to the barracks.

At this time, Catherine finally made up her mind, she raised her head to stare at Jian Chen's eyes, and suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Originally, I always thought that no one in this world would understand what I am doing except Roland!" As a result, I just found out that you can understand me, but I didn't expect you to see me so thoroughly, it's really surprising, if it weren't for so many messy things, I think we could have become very good friends, and even create the greatest empire in the history of Erathia together! What a shame! I think this will be the biggest regret of my life! ”

"I just realize now that if I could have trusted you unreservedly all the time, and consulted you on some important matters, I probably wouldn't have gotten myself to such an embarrassing point now, thinking about what you've done for your territory, for your subordinates, for your people, and then thinking about everything I've done myself, I'm really ashamed, if it's me in the predicament you're facing, I think I won't be able to support it until now!"

Jian Chen looked at Catherine inexplicably, not understanding why she suddenly became so emotional, and the bright smile on the other party's face that he had not seen for a long time made him a little distracted.

In this smile, Jian Chen felt that the other party had a kind of pleasure after relief. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the state, more chapters, support for it
