Chapter 294: Missed Target

The place where the Tucker Undead Envoy was received was in an open space outside the Dream Forest, after all, sometimes diplomatic envoys are basically the same as diplomatic spies, and I don't want to show them even if they are not secrets.

"....... Haru Twelve? It's a strange name. ”

"Your Majesty, we have our own way of naming it, which may be a little strange among the foreigners, but it represents our lives."

The diplomatic ambassador sent was a marquis-level vampire, white, handsome, tall, wearing an old black dress and a black cane, speaking slowly and logically, but his grammar was very old and outdated, although he looked young, he still had a bit of an old aristocratic taste.

As for him calling me His Majesty, there is no restraint from the top to the bottom, and it is actually just an honorific title for the demigod undead by the undead...... It seems that the other party has already seen through it, in fact, I have long been enlightened, some things are difficult to hide from those who have a heart, if I myself am the expelled Emperor of the Undead, I will also be very interested in this only descendant in modern times, and I want to try to get all his information.

Even if he went deep into the enemy camp, Haru XII, as an ambassador, was still personable, his skillful diplomatic rhetoric was full of enthusiasm in rigor, and his demeanor revealed the elegance that can only be created by the years, but the etiquette of the other party was impeccable, on the contrary, we were a little rude on our side, and we didn't even let the other party in the door, so we found a small wooden stool and let the other party sit down.

"Let's be straight, what are you going to do, I don't have time to play a clichΓ© game with you."

Even though I was so polite, this undead of the Marquis, who was at least a Saint Rank Blood Clan, still had a smile on his face. Instead, he nodded slightly.

"Yes, we will not waste your Majesty's time with some miscellaneous matters, the purpose of my coming here, in addition to bringing the greetings of the emperors to you, is really a small matter, may I ask Lord Golia......"

Not looking for me, but looking for Golia? I almost guessed something, and soon the other man said his goal, proving my guess.

"Alliance with the Ciro Empire?"

In a sense. The Ciro Empire, which is also the land of the dead. It is also the only possible ally of the Republic of Tucker in this world.

And don't look at Golia's unreliability in front of me, but as the former fourth consul, after the first and second consuls were deposed, and the third consul Helloise "disappeared". She was indeed the first person below Omar. Even Reinhardt, who has now become the chancellor of the Reich, must take her opinion very seriously.

I glanced back at Gloria, who was standing behind me. She gave me a slight look, and then stood behind her with her head bowed slightly, apparently handing over the control to me.

"I was able to talk to you in person. It's even better. Seeing this, Haru was still smiling and not the least surprised, as if he had known this.

In a sense, the Xiluo Empire has become the most important piece of the future Lanmeng's strength map, and it is impossible to hide who is really standing behind him.

But in a sense, this is also a kind of diplomatic temptation, testing whether the Xiluo Empire is still under the control of the Emperor of the Eternal Night, but in front of the treacherous and cunning diplomatic veteran, Golia, who is accustomed to thinking about problems in terms of war, suddenly leaks the bottom.

"Alliance? Do you think it's possible? ”

It is not easy for the Ciro Empire to be accepted by the northern countries, and now the Republic of Tucker, as a dimensional invader, has almost become a public enemy of the whole people, and once the same undead country allies with it, it is estimated that it will be regarded as the same kind, and all the hard work after that will be in vain.

"As an old undead soul who has been away from his homeland for a while, we are very fortunate to be able to see another country of the dead in our hometown, and we are even more happy to see the balance and harmony that the Siro have achieved in their relationship with the living. We can understand how difficult it is for your country to be the enemy of the world, but at least it gives us an outlet to express our goodwill and keep the spark alive for future possibilities. ”

The tongue-twisting words are very incomprehensible, but in the vernacular, it shows that "business is not benevolent, we can't talk about it now, and this time it's a Lala relationship." Attitude

It seems that this Haru is indeed a master of diplomacy, and from the beginning of the meeting, he did not say any nonsense that "there will be no war with the wood spirit", nor did he say stupid words such as "the fall of Esso the Great will not happen", and went straight to the point.

This kind of honesty makes me feel a little good, after all, due to the special geographical location, the conflict between the wood spirits and the undead is simply inevitable, and the fall of Esso the Great is definitely not a trivial matter that can be touched on the other side, and it is natural to count it on our heads.

Since conflicts and even wars between the two sides are inevitable, the tacit lie of saying that "there will be no disputes" is simply an insult to the intelligence of both sides, and many modern diplomats always like to show off all kinds of cleverness, turning their eyes open and talking one thing after another, not only not fooling the other side, but on the contrary, it is extremely disgusting.

But if it was just to express the goodwill of the same undead, there was no need for the Marquis of the Blood Clan in front of me to come in person, and I didn't ask any questions, just quietly sipping tea and waiting for him to speak.

Finally, Haru couldn't bear it anymore, and there was a little more hatred and gnashing disgust in his words.

"....... Grikasio, only his head, our Tucker Republic is willing to pay a lot, even willing to give up this forest and even the surrounding area."

Well, you should have guessed it a long time ago, and that's the crux of the matter.

I can understand the anger of the other party, for the great cause of the republic, Esso the Great chose to sacrifice himself in the face of a strong enemy, which is also the glory of a warrior, insulting a strong enemy is to pollute Esso himself, Haru can also show enough respect to me, and there is a kind of person who cannot be forgiven in any way - a traitor!

Grikasio has been gifted by the Emperor of the Dead, and has pried open the steps to the demigod undead, which means that it is time for Grikasio to fulfill his promise and dedication, and the Emperor has not given him many restrictions, and the reason is out of trust in his strength.

The undead are the embodiment of obsession, the top undead have their own pride, strength is the best business card, the top undead with obsession have their own pride and dignity, the demigod undead may be crazy, may be stupid, may be despicable, but it is impossible to be without dignity and principles, in a sense, this has become a consensus among the undead.

But this time they encountered an exception...... Perhaps, Gricasio's obsession itself is the pursuit of immortality, as long as he can survive, he is willing to do anything.

Although the other party's request seemed reasonable, I didn't even think about it, and shook my head directly, which didn't need to be considered in the first place.

As if expected, Haru nodded.

"We can understand your protection of him, but tell him that we will not die with him, and that the day he leaves this forest will be when it falls."

The meaning is obvious at the moment, although it is not a full-scale war, but as long as Gricasio appears, it will be a siege against him, and to crusade against an epic ancient bone dragon, I am afraid that the undead of Tucker are mentally prepared to pay a huge price.

"You can't do it."

"Hmph, even if it's you, don't underestimate our determination to get justice for Emperor Esso......"

In the middle of the sentence, I politely stretched out my hand to interrupt, after all, no matter what they said or how heartwarming the promises they made, it was meaningless.

"Your declaration of nirvana has failed, it's not that I'm sheltering him, it's that he's not in the Dream Forest at all now!"

Well, in an instant, Haru's handsome face was distorted, and the expression on his face full of incredulity to the point of dislocating his jaw was still very creative.

"How is that possible? Isn't he under your protection? Where will he be able to go?! ”

"No, no, he went straight back to Ciro that day, leaving a note." Your Majesty, I suddenly feel a little sick in my stomach, please let me return to the Xiluo Empire first and wait for your good news. 'Oh, the undead can have an upset stomach. So, Haru XII, in a sense, I want to kill that old slippery head more than you do. As long as you catch him, even if you beat him to death, don't give me face. ”

How could Grikasio, the old slippery head, not know that the Tucker Republic would definitely not let him go, and how could he entrust his safety under my protection, on the day of the battle, he did not hesitate to leave a letter, in order to avoid being blocked, the bone dragon lord at the peak of the epic epic, actually took advantage of the night to quietly dive into the sea and escaped, it was shameless to the limit.

As for whether to return to the Xiluo Empire, I think most of them are going back, after all, it is the safest place now, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and he is indeed taking refuge in my big tree now, of course, as in the past, he is also a trustworthy subordinate, a complete wall-to-wall grass.

"So, he's already gone, and it's pointless for you to tell me this."

Well, the distorted face of Haru's departure in the end is very surprising, although the process is very difficult to evaluate, but in a sense, when the diplomatic envoy leaves like this, the relationship between the two sides is already doomed.

At the very least, we and the Republic of Tucker will be enemies for quite some time.

And when I watched Haru XII disappear into the horizon, an unexpected visitor arrived.

"Want to hitchhike?"

The people of the Vicky Chamber of Commerce are still in Rainy Night City, and because of our existence and because of the change in shape, the officials of Rainy Night City are not too embarrassed for them, but they are very uncomfortable staying in the enemy country like this, so they asked the Dragon Knight to leave with us.

I hesitated for a moment, this kind of favors can be done, maybe I can still use the other party, so I agreed to it, and when the various projects of the Dream Forest are on the right track, it is time to prepare to go. (To be continued......)
