Chapter 762 It's up to anyone

"I don't have confidence in myself?"

Recalling Moryl's words, Jian Chen was thoughtful.

"Subconsciously, you always think you're inferior to Catherine, don't you?" Morriel pointed out the biggest problem of Jian Chen now.

"That's why you're so out of shape after you know Catherine's return, because you find out that in the current situation, Catherine is likely to be your enemy, so you're anxious, so you're upset, because you think you're not Catherine's opponent and you're scared, my husband"

"That's why you think that as long as Catherine takes action, Christine and the Angels will turn their backs on you, but is that really the case? No, it's definitely not like that."

Morrill pointed to a map of the continent on the wall that was exactly the same as the one in Jian Chen's study, and said softly in a rather proud tone: "Look at it, my husband, the empire you created single-handedly, how amazing the territory is now."

"It has always been a lord divided, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Negan undead creatures that have never been successfully invaded by outsiders are rampant, and Bairders, who no one wants to touch, hangs alone overseas, the foundation of the Evermont Islands Cregan nation, and it is also their base camp The Ofer Elf Kingdom has been firmly occupied since the beginning of the country, and the Tularian Forest, which has never been lost in the past thousand years, and the Hammondale region that has been thrown by the Erathian Empire with hundreds of thousands of troops and will not abandon it, before you, Whoever wants to succeed in occupying one of them will have to pay a huge price for it, and it may not be able to succeed, but now? These areas are all owned by our Entagre Empire, and we have also extended our influence to the oceans, and even the Rigner pirates, who are known as the Endless Sea Empire and have dominated the seas for hundreds of years, will also shy away from us at sea."

At this point, Moriel's emotions couldn't stop getting excited: "And it only took us two years to accomplish all this, just two years, when we left Hammondale, how many troops did we have?" How many people are there? But you took us to sweep Negan, trampling many Negan lords under your feet one by one, you took us to rob half of the elven kingdom like this, so that they even had to give up the country, you also took us, gave the strongest country in the continent the heaviest defeat since the end of the last war, you led us to create this miraculous powerful empire Today, we have a huge territory of more than one-third of the continent, and countless races are united by you around us, We're strong enough to make any power on the continent fearful."

"With these miraculous achievements, how can you not compare to Catherine, who can't even fully control her own destiny and has to give up the throne against her will? My husband, you are far more capable than you think, you are no worse than anyone else, in fact, you are now a great being beyond the reach of no one, how can you be so unconfident in yourself? How can you be so unconfident in the amazing cohesion and sense of belonging of the powerful empire you have single-handedly built? The way you look, but I'm quite disappointed."

At this time, Jian Chen was already stunned by Moryl's words.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"I suddenly found that I was really powerful because of you" He touched his nose, and his face showed a rather obvious triumphant look - in front of his wife, he never deliberately disguised himself, "I never seriously thought that I was a great person who had made so many amazing achievements"

His vanity made Esrena, who was in a good mood because of Moryl's words, who was intoxicated by her husband's brilliant deeds, couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

The corners of Moriel's mouth also curled slightly, and she knew that she didn't need to say anything more.

And Jian Chen didn't ask Moryl for any more advice, he already knew what to do.

After returning to his study, he asked Acerena to forward the news of Catherine's return to Christine and the others.

At the same time, he also asked Acerena to handle the news in the normal process.

"Is that good?" Esreina was a little worried, because Jian Chen's decision was tantamount to making the news of Catherine's return public in the Entagri army, and then, of course, this news would spread among those Cather's old tribes, and it would also spread to the angel clan through those angel warriors.

"Nothing bad"

After finding his problem from Moryl, Jian Chen looked back at Catherine's return and had a completely different feeling.

"Catherine's return will of course make Christine and them have some ideas, but the more times like this, the more I should show them my attitude, because my attitude will greatly affect their final decision, and now, my attitude is, use no suspicions, no suspicions, and I have promised them that when there is news of Catherine, I will tell them"

"Just because of some uncertain possibility, I have suspicion of Christine and them, and even hide the news from them, and secretly prevent it, will only make things go in a bad direction, on the contrary, if I am open and give them enough trust, they will think of my good, invisibly increase my weight in their minds, and influence others through them, which can actually be regarded as a strategy of retreating"

"And what Morriel said is not wrong, the Ntagrei Empire will not stop moving forward because of such a news, not because of the appearance of a certain person, or because of the departure of some people, on the contrary, this is a great opportunity for the cohesion of the Ntagri Empire to be improved again, I believe that after this incident, if Christine and the people they brought at the beginning, if they did not choose to leave, they will be more loyal to me and the Ntagri Empire, even if they choose to leave, This attitude of mine will also minimize the losses we have incurred as a result. ”

But even if Jian Chen said this, Aisrena was still not at ease: "But there is always a certain risk in this, if you just do nothing......"

Chen Jian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he interrupted Esrena's words: "I also had such concerns before, but Morriel is right, if I don't even have the courage to take such a little risk, then I am too unresponsible, wait and see, we still have time, if there is really a need, then take the necessary measures." ”

Seeing that Jian Chen had made up her mind, Esreina didn't say anything more about this matter.

She moved on to another topic.

"What are we going to do with the Erathia Empire?"

"Let's wait and see," Jian Chen said lightly, "Catherine's attitude will determine my attitude, until then, I won't do anything to keep the status quo."

So, under the control of Acerena, the news of Catherine's return soon spread among the Ntagrean army.

Christine, who was presiding over the situation in the Turalone Forest, was sailing to Sylvia in the waters near Krurod with the First Fleet, Eldrid, who was busy with Negan reorganizing the Tetalia Liberation Army into the regular army of the Ntagri Empire, and the husband and wife duo of Ryan and Adela who were stationed in the Negan Suppression Scene, all received the detailed report on Catherine's return from Skynet that Chen Jian specially forwarded to them at the first time.

Without exception, the hearts of the five people were all in a mess because of this sudden news.

Catherine was a special presence for them.

Had it not been for Catherine's abdication, they might still be part of the Erathian Empire today.

If it weren't for Catherine's arrangement, they wouldn't have followed Jian Chen and helped Jian Chen lay the foundation of the Entagri Empire.

Like Jian Chen, they never thought that Catherine would come back one day.

And it was also a critical moment when the Entagri Empire was already at war with the Erathian Empire.

Will Catherine's return ease the relationship between the two countries, or will it ......

All five of them thought of a possibility.

No one dares to ignore this possibility.

"Life, life, real bastard" has just laid down the Tulaone Forest for the Entagri Empire, and Christine, who is in high spirits, has a rare black face and is extremely entangled.

"How did this happen?" At sea, Sylvia has also lost her cheerful smile.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you really shouldn't have come back" Adride didn't change on the surface, but in his heart, he kept sighing.

On the other side of the "......", Ryan and Adela were speechless at each other, but both could see the deep melancholy in each other's eyes.

"What the hell is going to turn out of?" This thought was turning in the hearts of the five people.

"I hope that that situation doesn't really happen," the five of them were secretly looking forward to this, "Your Majesty Catherine's words, you must soon send an envoy to get in touch with Your Majesty Chen Jian to discuss the affairs of peace talks, right?" And His Majesty Chen Jian, presumably he will also agree to the peace talks, right? ”

They followed closely the further development of the situation, but to their disappointment, the emissary of the Erathian Empire, which they had been waiting for, did not show up for a long time.

In fact, it was not only them, Catherine was also very disappointed at this time.

Catherine, who was forced to return to the throne without knowing much about the actual situation of the Erathia Empire, never imagined that she would encounter such great resistance in the matter of promoting peace talks between the Erathia Empire and the Entagri Empire.

Her attention to the Erathia Empire almost stopped after Roland asked her to help govern it, so although she knew a rough idea of the series of battles between the Erathia Empire and the Entagri Empire, she didn't know too many details, so she didn't realize that under all kinds of ghosts, the relationship between the two countries had long been on the same footing.

In particular, the Erathian army, including Catherine's faction, strongly opposed Catherine's plan.

Successive defeats, the destruction of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the loss of Hammondale caused the entire Erathian army to accumulate a deep resentment against the Entagri Empire.

They longed for the day when they could go to the battlefield again under Catherine's command to fight the Ntagrean army, and not shake hands with the Ntagrean army.

This attitude of theirs makes Catherine a big head.

The public is angry, and no matter how clever Catherine is, in the face of such a situation, she can only cry out in vain.

Of course, she couldn't use the power in her hands to force this forward, but she didn't want to do that.

Although she used her extraordinary skills to successfully stabilize the situation in a very short period of time, won the support of the vast majority of people, and made people recognize her re-ascendancy, Catherine also knew that the current Erathian Empire has not really stabilized, and when the people's hearts are not stable, if they insist on going their own way and ignoring the will of the people, no one knows what kind of results will happen, Catherine can't afford to take such a risk now.

Under Kendall's toss, the Erathian Empire is now too weak.

So Catherine had to put the matter off for the time being, and instead focus on the battle that was still going on in the Tytalia Marsh.

In Catherine's opinion, this war has no longer made any sense to the Erathian Empire.

Even if it wins, what other benefit can the Erathian Empire do to grab such a dilapidated swamp with little population left, except for adding to its own already unbearable burden?

She didn't know what the necromancer and Magnus were fighting over in that swamp, but she thought that no matter how crazy things were, it wasn't worth the amount of manpower and material resources that the Erathian Empire had invested in fighting for, and the price was too great, and it was the smartest choice to stay out of the war in the swamp like the Entagri Empire, and quietly reap countless benefits.

So Catherine meant to withdraw her troops from the Tytalia Marsh and give up the fight for that swamp.

But the idea has also met with a lot of resistance.

Although many military generals, led by the Catherine, were in favor of this proposal, there were also many voices in the military who opposed the idea.

This is also something that cannot be helped, for this war, the Erathia Empire has invested too much, and it ended dismally, many people are unwilling, in their opinion, maybe as long as they work harder, they will be able to pick the fruits of victory in their hands.

"Your Majesty has returned, hasn't he? With her here, our odds are greater, and lately the necromancers have begun to show signs of defeat and just give up, it's a shame."

Even some of the Catherine generals wanted the war to continue.

"There have been too many defeats, and it would be a good thing if Your Majesty could use this victory in the swamp to boost the morale of the empire."

These arguments made Catherine feel both annoyed and sad.

These people irresponsibly sat back and watched Kendall's misdeeds, so that the Erathia Empire, which she had worked so hard to run for many years, turned into the mess it is today, and seeing that it really can't be done, and getting her back to clean up the mess, these are already annoying enough, and now they dare to jump out and point fingers at her decision.

It seems that she has been away a little too long, so these people have forgotten her methods.

At this time, Catherine missed her former group of capable generals infinitely, but now, these people are gone, Christine and the others went to Chen Jian's side, and most of the other sober-minded people were also lost in Kendall's action to eradicate dissidents.

The current Erathian Empire has zero talent.

However, just as Catherine decided to show her thunderous tactics again, forcibly retreating from the Tetaria Marshes, and sending a secret envoy to contact the Entagri Empire first, a diplomatic letter from the Kingdom of Bracada was handed to her.

The letter was written by Magnus, the immortal king of Bracada.

In the letter, the leader of the Bracada magicians made one thing very clear.

He wants to reorganize the Holy Alliance.

Magnus said that although the Holy Alliance had long since existed in name only due to Kendall's unfriendly attitude, the Holy Alliance had not been officially terminated, and now that Kendall was no longer and Catherine was back, he was happy to work with Catherine to reorganize the Holy Alliance.

At the same time, Magnus also said vaguely that if it weren't for Kendall's perverse behavior, the relationship between the three countries of the Holy Alliance would not have fallen to the point it is now, and the Erathia Empire and the Elven Kingdom might not have fought a big fight.

"Now is the time to restore the tripartite relationship and restore peace to the people of the tripartite party."

This sentence is written very sanctimoniously, but it is also in line with Magnus's image of a good old man for many years.

It's just that Catherine, of course, will not be confused by these words of the other party.

She knew very well that Magnus was not a good old man, she had sensed the great ambition of the Immortal King, and she knew that Magnus was only willing to be a good old man because he thought that being a good old man would bring him enough benefits.

If there is no interest, he will immediately tear off his good old man's disguise.

This point, since Catherine's departure, a series of actions of the Bracada Mage Kingdom has been well reflected.

But even so, Magnus's proposal still appealed Catherine.

The current Erathia Empire is in need of a stable external environment, and Catherine hopes to reconcile with the Entagri Empire, and of course she is not willing to make enemies with the Bracada Kingdom.

She wanted to reduce the enemies of the Erathian Empire on the continent as much as possible, and the Erathian Empire needed time to recuperate now.
