Chapter 409: Title-kun has been broken by me......
Sigma Washington.
The name stirred a wave in Mr. Ambassador's heart, a remarkable surname, and an even more impressive name—but he never imagined that the two would meet in such a situation.
A few years ago, this name not only resounded in the imperial capital, but also spread widely in the circle of the imperial aristocracy, openly challenging and defeating Her Royal Highness the Iron Princess, openly not giving face to the royal family in front of the arena of 10,000 people, so that His Majesty could not come to the stage...... His behavior back then was talked about by everyone, and almost all the upper noble circles of the empire were talking about it, some praised it, some were puzzled, some ridiculed it, and some were dissatisfied, but one thing can be agreed on - the behavior of this noble boy has added a strong touch to the crazy legend of the Reaper family, and the mad dog family has produced a little mad dog that is not inferior to his father and ancestor, and there will be a good show in the future.
However, soon after, another shocking thing came out, although the imperial officials intentionally or unintentionally covered up this information in order to reduce their influence, the nobles always had various sources of channels - the little mad dog of the Reaper family actually had a powerful necromantic talent, hit it off with the evil mage, and after graduation, he ran to the Death Realm in the southern frontier of the empire with a wild laugh, and excitedly started a new academy career.
It is said that he is like a fish in water in Atlas, and his eerie necromancy is completely compatible with his cruel and ruthless, decisive and decisive nature, and his magic cultivation has entered the realm in a thousand miles, completing all his regular studies in half a year, and learning all the cruel and bloody dark courses with hunger and thirst, he not only impressed the teachers and students of the academy with his cold personal charm and superb leadership, but also had countless adventures himself. Today I found a powerful mage who failed because of my reality and could only lodge his soul in a magic ring, and tomorrow I found a spell book left by a necromancer hundreds of years ago at the bottom of a cliff. The day after tomorrow, he accidentally subdued a young divine beast that had just been born and happened to have died of his mother, so his strength has increased by leaps and bounds. was appreciated by the legendary necromancers, and gradually grasped the voice of the entire academy.
Now he is dissatisfied with the gentle and conservative attitude of the necromancers, and has begun to implement an iron-blooded and cruel training program throughout the Death Realm, to train the entire group of necromancers into a cold-blooded and cruel undead army - the teachers and students of the academy are overwhelmed and flee one after another, trying to escape the clutches of this fang, but each carefully planned truancy is seen through by the more cunning Sigma, and every failure can set off a bloody storm in Atlas......
The above is the perception of the current situation of Sigma in the circle of the imperial aristocracy.
Although it is a slight exaggeration, it should not be a big difference. Although the gossip circulating among the nobles is mostly boring rumors, there are descriptions of Sigma from various sources such as the Reaper family, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, and even the Dead Realm, and they are certainly not so boring as to discredit their own family members like this - do you know that the outflow of false information is often an attempt to cover up more far-out-than-the-truth than this kind of news?
Then His Excellency realized that sitting in front of him was the Great Demon King, who had made a name for himself in the Realm of Death.
This realization made him both discouraged and excited—a few years ago, in front of a beautiful lady at a ball. This young man who made waves in the imperial capital was also evaluated by him as "a young man who was young and vigorous, and did not know how to advance or retreat", and now this young man is enough to make him look up, and his words can even determine his own fate.
And what excites him a little is...... Since the other side is Sigmar Washington, his promise obviously carries quite a lot of weight. He had heard the paladins talking in private, and in the past few days, there was a necromancer active in the Holy See, who had helped the Holy See a lot. It seems to be Sigma no doubt, if it is his request. I believe that the Holy See will certainly consider it carefully, that is to say...... He was able to get out of here as much as he could. Stay out of danger!
But the next moment, his heart became heavy again...... Sigma wanted him to bring a message to the Emperor, thinking of the bad relationship between the nobles and the royal family, and considering Sigma's even worse personal relationship with the Emperor, the message that the necromancer commissioned him to bring was certainly not a good word...... The price of freedom is obviously not so easy.
There was a look of struggle and hesitation on his face, and after a moment, he said slowly, "What message do you want me to bring?" ”
Sigma remained silent and said calmly: "Please tell His Majesty the Emperor that the people in Cloud City who are threatened with their lives at this moment are not only the believers of the Holy See, but also his people, please have mercy and protection on his people as a king." I hope he will be able to send a loyal legion to Cloudsdale to assist in matters of assistance......"
The ambassador was stunned and said, "It's that simple? ”
It's not just simple, it's stupid...... Among the nobles of the empire, even the most unscrupulous fools knew how jealous His Majesty was of the priesthood. That holy supreme longs that the whole city of Cloudsdale will be blown into powder, and all the priests will not even have scum left, even if the hundreds of thousands of people in the whole city are all buried with them - the city in the clouds is threatened with destruction, and His Majesty can't wait to beat gongs and drums to celebrate, who dares to mention that yì will send troops to help, and see that the emperor will not be old enough to scrape you.
Therefore, in this case, most of the people who will sincerely write to ask His Majesty for assistance are fools who are far away from the inner circle of imperial power and do not want to be promoted for the rest of their lives, and even rookies who have just been involved in officialdom know how stupid this request is...... Mr. Ambassador lowered his eyelids, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control his eyes, and the disdain in his heart would be revealed, it seemed that the rumors were wrong, this so-called genius was actually a stupid and naïve fool, could it be that the cultivation of necromancy burned his head? He's a political idiot......
He was full of insults - but if this was the case, it would be wonderful, this kind-hearted young master felt the predicament of the Holy See at this time, and was ready to use his sincerity to influence the kings of all countries and ask them to send righteous assistance, it was really touching the spirit of selflessness of the Great Duke, hahahaha......ha But it's a pity, although Your Majesty will be moved by your kindness, but because of the army's funds, troop movements, barbarian invasions and other problems. I couldn't send help, so I had to support me mentally hahahaha......
That's when it happened. Sigma's voice continued: "Of course it's more than that...... You also by the way to tell the emperor if the empire because of various difficulties. For example, if it is impossible to send troops for various problems such as military spending, troop transfer, and invasion by the northern dynasty, then the Dead Nation will do the work for you. We will mobilize enough manpower and material resources to go to the Holy Sword Province, but at that time, the army will pass through the aisle, which may scare His Majesty's naïve subjects, please don't mind. ”
Don't mind...... Don't mind a fart! You mean Necronomicon is coming? Rushing all the way from Saber Province to Holy Sword Province? Said it was for rescue? Everyone will think that this is a natural disaster invasion, ahhh What the hell do you want to do? Where is this political zhì idiot, obviously it is a political thug, the soul is light! Going to flip the table so soon?
He didn't know what to do, but before Sigma could finish speaking, the necromancer held up a finger. Pointing at Mr. Ambassador, "Ah, you have to tell the Emperor one more thing." If he refuses to send reinforcements, then after the matter is settled, I will personally go to the imperial capital and ask His Majesty for an explanation. The thunderclouds above the city in the clouds seem to be familiar, what is going on, His Majesty knows what will happen if I say it out loud. Majesty xià is also clear. No matter how much His Majesty has a thousand reasons and excuses, it will never satisfy the nations, because sometimes. What we need is often an excuse rather than a fact, and that's politics. ”
"...... "the hell, the hell, the it, it, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy. Oh my God, what the hell is going on?
Mr. Ambassador instantly sweated like a pulp. He wanted to immediately reject Sigma's request, but in the face of the other party's cold and indifferent eyes, he really didn't have the courage to refuse...... Thinking of the other party's profession and the code of conduct of the nobles, he didn't know what was waiting for him after he refused, so he cried and said tentatively, "Your Highness Sigmar...... In fact, after the speech of His Majesty Clement, the Reich will certainly respond. Rather, the speech of His Majesty Rément was brilliant and beautiful, putting the Holy See in the position of a victim - once they began to evacuate the civilians, then the empire had to settle and respond reasonably, otherwise the prestige and popularity of the country would decline...... Because since the speech and decision to tell the truth under the crown of Créman, too many eyes have been on Cloudsdale......"
"So......" Sigma's smile was like crying, "so there is no need to send troops at all, the Empire will definitely make support, why do you have to send troops?" ”
Sigma smiled meaningfully, "Do you want to know why I have to have an army here?" ”
His Excellency the Ambassador's hair stood upside down with his keen sense of smell, and he instinctively shook his head and said, "I don't want to know!" ”
"So, your task is simple...... By Advent Day, I would like to see a fully formed, first-line Imperial Legion near Cloudsdale, with legionnaires of great prestige and dominance, a group of officers from the Empire's elite, and well-trained and well-educated citizen soldiers...... All of them are indispensable. ”
The ambassador's expression became more and more ugly, and he was almost about to cry: "But if I truthfully relay these words to His Majesty, no matter what the inside story and truth I know, I will be silenced by His Majesty!" In that case, it would be better to stay in Cloudsdale and pray and wait for my turn to evacuate, in that case, the chances of survival will be greater......"
"Hmm...... This is indeed a problem. Sigma's smile slowly became warmer, and he smiled and said, "So, I want you to secretly find Princess Lyudmila of the Iron Bear Legion before escaping back to the imperial capital, and tell her all the words I asked you to tell the emperor." Then tell her a word......"
A soft expression appeared on his face, his eyes were full of remembrance and warmth, and he lowered his voice and whispered a word that the Imperial Ambassador could just hear.
Then, Mr. Ambassador raised his head in horror, although this sentence was said implicitly, but the meaning is not difficult to guess, at a time when several excellent successors of the empire are about to start the official competition for the crown prince, Sigma's words simply mean a huge storm of clouds and rain, because he represents not a person! Rather, the inclination of a terrible force!
And, and doesn't that mean......
"Well, it's a nice gift, Mr. Ambassador." Sigma said indifferently, "I've read your resume, are you willing to spend this life like this?" was assigned to this kind of place as a so-called ambassador, with unflattering idle duties on both sides, there is nowhere to display his talents, and his ambitions are reduced to empty talk, even if he escapes and goes back this time, do you think that he will be reused? ”
The other party's breathing suddenly became rapid, and it was obvious that a great gift from heaven fell in front of him, full of opportunities...... and the crisis. But since ancient times, the weak want to get more, all by hard work, in front of him is an opportunity that makes countless people crazy, once successful......
In a moment, countless things flashed in his eyes, thinking, struggling, hesitating, and finally turning into calm determination.
After thinking about the cause and effect, he nodded heavily: "I'll do it." I will go to find Her Royal Highness, and then try to convince her, and then play the value and role that I have to ......"
Sigma nodded in satisfaction, "You're a smart man." ”
He stood up and smiled: "Then hurry up and pack your things, I have already greeted the Holy See, and by the way, I will send you two powerful guards to ensure the safety of your life." ”
The other party smiled bitterly a few times - guarding and monitoring were originally the proper meaning of the question, and they were taken for granted.
The necromancer stretched out his hand and patted Mr. Ambassador's shoulder, I don't know if it was an illusion, His Excellency felt a slight chill on his shoulder, as if something had seeped into his body, but he didn't have time to think about this slight discomfort, so he listened to Sigma ask: "Finally, just make sure, you know what you are going to do." ”
"Hmm...... Go to Her Royal Highness the Princess and persuade her to stay with me, survive, show her worth, and be loyal to the new Lord......" A look of determination appeared on Mr. Ambassador's face, "Then make a precise plan, use a qiē method, slowly infiltrate, and finally, tie my family to Her Royal Highness's chariot!" ”
Sigma nodded.
Looking at her departing back, Quinn said leisurely: "When he came in, his soul was confused, full of fear and cringe...... Now after the horror and hesitation, it is actually full of fanaticism and determination, power is such a thing, it can really change a person. ”
The necromancer smiled: "Don't be sour, let's go...... Let's go to the next one. ”
