Chapter 220: Busy Man
In Diefend's palace, a six-hour marathon of negotiations is nearing its end.
"Then, the next negotiation is expected to be in six months, please be sure to prepare the mineral samples and duty-free list before then, and we will strive to complete a comprehensive commercial agreement in the next meeting."
"In order to show the importance of the next negotiation, Queen Gelina will come to sign the contract in person, and I hope that you can give you the same standard of reception. Of course, the propaganda work will also be handed over to you, after all, they are people of the same culture and race, and it is a great time to bring the two countries closer together, and such a good propaganda opportunity cannot be wasted. ”
"Is there a reception of the same standard? I know, I'll tell Her Royal Highness Princess Renee, but when the time comes, it may be Her Majesty Queen Renee. ”
"Hehe, that's better, it's not too early, then I'll take my leave first.
Wende, the young envoy who had sent away Sluwell, looked out the window at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, but Eliza, who was still in a hundred spirits just now, sighed, and there was a little more worry on her seemingly plain face.
"It's been so long since I couldn't get in touch, I hope nothing happens, no, since the connection of the entire plane has been broken, then something must have happened, I can only hope to return safely."
"Don't worry, those two naughty little guys I watched grow up, and they don't look like short-lived people." Kelly smiled, her words full of pride, but was there really no problem in calling Roland a little one.
"Maybe it's not them who should be worried, it's the one named Earm or something. Don't look at Roland's seemingly calm appearance when he left. In fact, the more angry he became. The calmer the appearance. He's definitely holding a grudge now, and according to what I know about him, if he's in a bad mood, he'll try to make other people feel worse, so it's the other person to worry about now. ”
In a sense, it was the wood elf in front of her who watched Prince Roland's growth, and she made a prediction based on her instincts. But it is getting closer and closer to the real situation.
"They have their battlefields, and we have ours, but we can't let them come back and look down on them, work hard, little Eliza."
In the background of the speech, it was the busy administrators, who just left for a while, and the documents and letters waiting to be processed were piled up.
"Of course, I still need Sister Kelly's help, I still have a lot of things I want to ask Sister Kelly for advice."
Eliza smiled and nodded. Kelly, who has assisted more than ten generations of the Arashi royal family, is simply impeccable in terms of administrative ability. The hundreds of years of administrative experience are truly amazing, and she has benefited a lot.
When Roland became the shopkeeper again, and Renee also set off, all the government and military affairs of the Principality of Donglan were lost to Eliza and the others who stayed behind.
The military affairs are good to say, there are those knights with Crimson Hounds, the formation and training of each legion are very smooth, and there is no need for any important changes in the overall planning.
But on the other hand, government affairs related to people's livelihood are very fatal, and they can't be delayed for a day.
Although it is not as heavy as the post-war reconstruction of the Kingdom of Sluwell, just the settlement of a large number of gray blood elves who have migrated over has made all the administrative officials rack their brains, and in order to increase the living space, the construction of new cities and the transformation of old towns are all in the forefront.
In addition, there are also annual tasks scheduled for the New Year, such as the expansion of the Difende urban circle and the sowing of new crops, the former is related to the living environment of nearly 30% of the people, and the latter is related to the rations of the next year.
Recently, a more important event has been pressed on everyone's burden, and the Donglan official, which has been tense to the limit, has been overloaded again, and in just one week, the staff who have been sent to the hospital for recuperation due to overwork have exceeded double digits.
The big thing that caused a headache but had to be dealt with with with all its might was the establishment of the Lan Alliance.
This is undoubtedly a good thing, or a good thing that just the news spreads and makes the whole country rejoice, after all, when the banner of the Lan League is erected, it is quite a matter of the Lan people coming together again, and in a sense, the destroyed Lan no Country is rebuilt again.
However, these things came too quickly, and according to the usual practice, it would take several months to complete just one trade negotiation, and a military alliance could not be won in one or two years, and such a major event as the establishment of a common comprehensive alliance would require unified coordination in the economic, military, political, agricultural, and diplomatic fields, and finally reach an outcome acceptable to all countries, which was absolutely not an easy solution.
Ten years, twenty years? I'm afraid that it is the most realistic to achieve it within ten years, but the time limit given by Roland in the end is a short two years, and as the core two countries of the Lan Alliance, the Duchy of Donglan and the Kingdom of Sluwell, must complete the integration of all aspects within a year, and the heavy work is enough to send hundreds of administrative officials to the psychiatric hospital.
The chief lady of the court and the princess's personal tutor, although the name is not right, Kelly is indeed the core of the new Donglan, even if the wood elves are extremely physical, but they are tired enough by the recent heavy work.
"Bang bang."
Kelly clapped her hands lightly, attracting the attention of the busy staff, and then, looking at the tired crowd, made a decision.
"It's almost dinner time, everyone rest early today, don't work overtime, and continue tomorrow."
"But the work is not finished yet, tomorrow the chauvinists are coming, the new contract has not been prepared, and the report from the intelligence department has not yet arrived"
"The combination of work and rest can last, I don't want to see everyone in the hospital anymore, no matter what kind of work there is, I will do it tomorrow! This is an order, is it possible that Renee and Roland are gone, and you will not listen to me? ”
In the eyes of everyone, Kelly who was smiling coquettishly at this time was a little scary, but this seemingly arrogant order was full of concern and heartwarming.
"Hehe, even if Renee and Roland are here, they probably won't be able to help, they will only cause trouble."
Eliza's words made people laugh dumbly, but it was true, if Renee was there. That is, there is an extra rubber stamp. I also have to send someone to find her who is skipping work. If Roland is here, it will probably be the same, but there is no need to send someone to look for it, because as long as Roland does not travel by himself, others will definitely not find it.
"They're only so similar when they're causing trouble."
"Hmph, when he comes back, he must compensate us well"
While complaining, the two began to take over the work, and they were not mortals. The physical condition is quite good, and it seems that I can't escape from working overtime at night.
Far away on the battlefield in a foreign land, it is impossible for me to know what happened in my hometown, and I don't even have time to think about it, after all, the powerful Earth Yuan God is always a huge pressure on my head.
Some time ago, it was clear that the war was imminent, but I spent my precious preparation time in the library, which naturally had a reason.
Knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, if even Om Di Roken has any hole cards. Naturally, it is impossible to prepare measures to deal with it, and if it is finally filled by human life. No, you lose the advantage of taking the initiative.
As the oldest elemental god, even if there is a record of making a move, I am afraid it was thousands of years ago, although the two elemental gods on our side provided some information, but I am afraid that it is outdated, not to mention, in fact, it has not forced him into a desperate situation, and naturally I don't know if he is still hiding something.
However, with the help of several top archmages and hundreds of students, we consulted countless classics and exchanged combat experiences of various genres, as long as all the ones linked to earth magic were counted, we summarized hundreds of rules, common methods, and high-level extensions of the use of earth elements.
In the end, there were thirty volumes of the plan, which filled a bookshelf, not only including the plan for Om Di Roken, but also the general outline of the use of earth magic, which was of great significance for guiding the cultivation and research and development of earth magic.
And in the wizarding world, there is an old saying, "How much strength a mage can show depends mainly on how long he has been prepared." If the preparation time is long enough, and the preparation is sufficient, it is not impossible to kill the gods. ”
"If you take the initiative to come to the door regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, wouldn't it be like a warrior who thinks with muscles." If Margaret hadn't deliberately glanced at me out of the corner of her eye when she said this, and obviously meant something, I would have agreed with it
Determine the target, observe the opponent, collect intelligence, determine the countermeasures, the profession of mage, except for a very small number of people who are not good at close combat, never face the hard knock is a matter of course, we were forced to face many situations before, and the preparation was not sufficient, but this time, we have relatively sufficient time, and the battlefield deduction and preparation are enough, otherwise, we will not come to attack the opponent's lair.
"Sure enough, it's a shrunken turtle, this turtle shell, tsk."
As seen in the main plane, the basic form of Om Di Roken, who finally came forward, is still a rock giant, but compared with the tangled form of the main plane, the current Om Di Roken makes people feel powerless just by seeing his appearance.
Different from the pitch-black shell on the ground, the giant's body was made of precious white jade, which seemed so delicate that it could be shattered by touching it at will, but the power of creating a subsidence just by stepping on it undoubtedly showed that the quality of the gorgeous white jade armor was absolutely terrifying.
The fluctuation of the forbidden spell continued, and this guy rushed out like crazy, and all obstacles along the way were smashed into the air, spells and bows and arrows were ignored by it, just a preliminary estimate, I knew that the giant in front of me was probably an absolutely invulnerable hard pole.
But this is also to be expected.
When his charge has been determined, it is natural to trigger the trap that has been prepared for a long time.
"The realm of flowing water."
After sufficient preparation to meet the conditions for the construction of the territory, the god of the water element unfolded his own divine domain, and the river that fell from the sky suddenly descended, and the rolling flood swept the land with mud and sand.
The sediment and water are combined into a mudslide, which is like steel and soft, and this flowing sand and gravel is far more difficult to cope with than a flood, and once you fall into it, even if you have a thousand pounds of strength, you will have nowhere to use it.
This is a trap created by nature, and it has nothing to do with magic resistance at all, and it is also a death trap created for the unparalleled brute strength of Omdi Roken, who fell into the mudslide and struggled at first, but after finding that the soles of his feet suddenly turned into muddy water with no place to use, he gave up resistance and was dragged away by the mudslide.
Although he was in a predicament, his eyes full of battle intent seemed to be telling a word.
"Even if you can trap me for a short time, what can you do?"
That is the defense of one's own physical body, in fact, it is exactly the case, in our deduction, the physical defense of the tempered elemental god is basically unsolvable, which is very headache.
The realm of the water elemental gods is limited, and mudslides quickly lose momentum, but for us, it is enough.
"Winter Glacier!"
The arrival of the cold ice turned a river into a river of ice in an instant, and the frozen ice directly froze Omdiroken firmly in it, and then, the remaining demon legions had already begun to attack, and all of a sudden, those who rescued and tried to pick up cheap gods to kill gods all came to meet them.
"Om Di Roken, die!"
The roaring god of the wind elementals, Kamdil, has transformed into a storm giant, intending to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Omdiroken and reenact the battle of the underground labyrinth.
"Roar!"
Before he arrived, the frozen Omdiroken broke free, and faster than roaring, it was the giant white jade fist.
"Boom!"
There was no brilliant magical color, just a blow infused with all his strength, but Kamdi'an had already been shattered! By the time he gathered the smoke from a short distance again, he was already one size smaller, and he was obviously not lightly injured.
The Lord of the Storm overestimated himself, and in the main plane he could still live two tricks with Omdi Roken, but in this world, he was weakened again, and the Lord of the Earth Element used his true body, plus the bonus of the rules, his strength increased again, and the gap between the two sides has been stretched far away.
And the Storm Lord, who is a part-time spellcaster, actually took the initiative to fight hand-to-hand combat with the pure warrior Omdi Roken, which is another reason why he was killed in seconds, in the final analysis, it was the Storm Lord who underestimated the opponent and measured the opponent's strength with past experience, and suffered a big loss as soon as he fought.
For me, none of that was the most important thing, I didn't have the possibility of killing Omdiloken head-on from the start, but trapping him was enough.
"Sad wind, it's your turn, dig up the other party's ancestral grave for me, and don't leave me even a single tile."
As soon as the words fell, the sad wind replied that I felt uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, with me on the scene, I guarantee that not a single mouse or a Xiaoqiang will be left!"
I've been thinking about why it's normal to let him say it makes people uncomfortable.
At this time, the giant sandworms that fled outside the battlefield were all stopped, and the smiling half-dragon hunter had already used his extraordinary charm ability to target specific objects.
Soon, the restless beasts began to obey the wind's commands, only because he told them that there was something that would set them free and become stronger.
"Our goal is"
"No tooth decay!" Adam was in turmoil
"No, it's the Elemental Throne, dig it up for me! At least for 2,000 years, there will be no more Earth Elemental Gods! We're going to make this bastard lose his roots and be homeless. ”
Looking at the battle in front of me, I let out a roar of rage and drew my sword. (To be continued......)
