Chapter 672: A Promise in the Shadows

Negotiation, the essence of which is a compromise, is an agreement reached by both parties to the negotiation after paying a certain price.

Therefore, in the negotiation, if you accidentally leak your own chassis, you have already fallen into passivity, and if you are stuck by the other party, it is natural to lose.

So when I knew Sandru's desires. When I begged, I was already destined to occupy the top of the negotiation, and when the chips in our hands were not equal, I would not be able to lose.

He needs my help, and I, with him or not, doesn't care about him, and the unequal negotiating position allows me not only to grasp the initiative, but also to make offers at will.

“…… At least I know that what Esso longs for is definitely not a kingdom of the dead, and he has spent so much effort to corrupt the whole of Baier, just to establish a kingdom where the kingdom of the living and the dead exist, and the pure kingdom of the dead cannot last long in the main plane. ”

The kingdom of the dead broke the cycle of reincarnation from the beginning, and even if the gods could tolerate it, the natural balance of the land would eventually collapse.

The Undead Emperor is a mage, they can't have studied this, even at the peak of the Tali Republic, they were not stupid enough to transform everyone into the undead, that would be equivalent to cutting off the future and hope of the entire country.

“…… Then, there is only one way for you to realize the revival of the Tali Republic, instead of working hard to lay a piece of territory, and then exchange countless years and goodwill for reconciliation with mankind, it is better to get on my ship directly, anyway, the Lan Alliance has already accepted the Xiluo Empire, why not have another Tali Republic. ”

Under normal circumstances, the revival of the Republic of Tali is first achieved in a holy war. Gain a piece of land in the vicious battle between the two factions of Order and Chaos. And then re-establish the state. After the founding of the country, it is necessary to consider the relationship with other races, and then it depends on the attitude of the new gods.

Thinking about it a little, it is an epic level of difficulty, the undead emperors are definitely not weak, those old guys are enough to deter the gods and the main god, the main god-level Heng is definitely not the most difficult to deal with the undead emperor, as far as I know, the Sandru in front of him is more dangerous than the ten Heng combined. But even if the Undead Emperors worked together, the most optimistic ones did not dare to say that they would definitely be able to win the Holy War.

The undead legion is very strong, to have a high level, to have a strategic weapon, to have a strategic weapon, cannon fodder is endless, their biggest weakness is the natural hostility of the living to the dead, they can't have a strong enough ally, the giants have to worry about being made into a bone giant, the dragon clan is naturally hostile to the undead because of the bone dragon. The gods are even more hostile to these immortals who break the cycle of reincarnation and waste their faith.

They don't have a stable position and are still in a weak position. The whole world does not pay enough attention to it, and even sees it as a pawn that can be used, and if it really occupies enough regions and fields to rebuild the great empire of the undead, it shows a trend of benign development...... The whole world will be their enemy!

At this point, the Xiluo Empire has the most right to speak, for so many years, they have not failed to say that any of their allies have not said it, even if the land is a desert and a swamp of death that is forbidden to the living, other countries are still full of hostility towards it, and they are always on guard, as long as they dare to attack any human country, they will definitely usher in a "righteous coalition".

This is not fair, but it is true, and the discrimination between life and death is justified and absolutely righteous compared to similar racial discrimination, and the historical actions of the undead and necromancers also give sufficient factual support to this discrimination and prejudice.

“…… Unless a no-man's land is found, it is impossible for the Republic of the Dead to re-establish itself. ”

I don't believe that a wise man who can become the Emperor of the Dead will not see this.

But to be able to break through the theoretical impossibility and become the existence of the Emperor of the Dead, he has found a way, yes, it is Esso.

Esso's plan is very thorough, he slowly laid it out, and then parasitized into a certain country like a parasite, taking advantage of the shell of the other party and the development of international relations, the living and the dead are mixed, and the dead gradually become the high-level backbone of the country, so that the country first acquiesces in the existence of the undead country, reduces the hostility procedure, and then changes the skin to a certain extent....... which seems to be very similar to the establishment of a puppet regime in the enemy country? It's the same thing when it comes to reducing hostility and reducing variables.

But now, it's no longer possible.

It can be said that the moment Esso fell, the undead invasion inexplicably failed most of it, and with the analysis of his memories and knowledge, I admired him more and more, and at the same time, I also understood his "intentions" for giving me these memories.

The one on the tower in the clouds of the Mage Nation aimed at the "nuclear bomb" of the Council of Truth, the alchemical formula that can undead the people of Bair, the control of Oros, and the list of spies among the high-ranking people of various countries who have been tempted by immortality to hook up with the undead, these things are all big killers, and it is needless to say what will happen if they fall into the hands of ambitious careerists.

For Esso, it's a gamble, a "There's no worse option anyway, why don't you throw the nuke button at another Undead Emperor and try it" There is a choice between winning and losing, if I were a normal Undead Emperor...... No, it only needs to be an undead monarch like Heloise, no, even an ordinary human being, what will he do after getting these chips is terrifying just thinking about it.

"I" took over Esso's intelligence network in Byr to carry out a nationwide undead process, use the control valve in my hand to control Oros the Great, directly control the entire Bair Kingdom, and by the way, I can finish off the top of the Mage Country with a nuclear bomb, and completely end the most dangerous external threat.

And then...... Then it was to wait for the Holy War to really come, one by one the undead emperors came, and the undead natural disaster came.

In this series of processes, "I" will gain a lot, and even master the strongest country in the entire continent and become the supreme king, but when the time comes, the Republic of Tali, which has a solid base, has successfully recovered most of it, and the republic has also obtained a golden start, and the Undead Emperors will not miss such a good opportunity, and the possibility of division has been greatly reduced, and Esso's ideal has also been realized.

This wasn't my random guess, and as the analysis of Esso's memories included, I was able to find the reason for the slow resolution process. I also found the key to the analysis set by Esso - "the emotion of the desire for greater power and power." ”

"Thirst for strength. Aspire to a higher status. I will give you the chips and the power to be supreme. ”

It sounds like a middle two, but this is the key that Esso has set, and when this treasure is in front of him, how many people can resist the temptation of instinct. Confuse.

The desire for power and more power is simply a biological instinct, and careerists will naturally use the chips they have when they get a step higher, and Esso's goal has been achieved.

Suffice it to say, if it weren't for me being a little freak...... Cough. I mean, it's different, I'm afraid it's really his way.

And if I don't have that ambition (which is incredible for an undead emperor) and the speed of analysis is naturally slow, then the nuclear bomb left in the Council of Truth is really likely to be detonated by his hind hand, and destroy the most likely and powerful threat to the undead emperor after the invasion of Bair, the human archmage group, in advance.

In the moment before he died, he completed the layout of this pair of human nature, no matter whether he won or lost, he could make money, and even if he perished, his ideals could be realized. Even though I have raised my evaluation of the Undead Emperor Esso countless times, I still have to say the word "service" in the end.

Cough. Far away, from another point of view, killing Esso at that time was really a blind cat and a dead mouse, and the fall of Esso also announced in advance that the recovery of the Republic of Tali had encountered obstacles.

The undead emperors can't be fools, on the contrary, they are definitely the pinnacle of the multiverse in terms of intelligence, and they are willing to agree to Esso's invasion, just because there is a possibility of success, and now the success rate has been greatly reduced, so naturally they have started their own small calculations, and the hearts of the people are scattered, not to mention that the team can't be brought, and they are directly dispersed.

Although they themselves knew that if they continued like this, they would each be divided and go home, but such an outcome seemed acceptable, at least better than gambling on a gamble with a low probability of winning and losing everything...... In fact, when I think about this, I feel that sometimes people are better to be stupid, and many stupid people finally rely on perseverance to achieve great feats that "smart people" can't do in a lifetime, while many "smart people" who could have done it feel "can't do it" and "waste their lives and time", and give up the opportunities that originally belonged to them.

But in a sense, the undead have little demand for the main plane, which is the root of their lack of fighting spirit, they are not like other plane invaders who are eager for the future of living space and race, except for a very small number of existences, most of the undead emperors only return to their hometown because of the honor of their homeland, and they will retreat and make small calculations when they encounter a slight setback.

Ahem, it seems to be off the beaten track again, so let's just say the conclusion.

Esso's unexpected fall made the original plan come to naught, and the undead emperors had their own ways to make a living, and the withered ones in front of me found me.

"What do you think of the Tali Republic? The revival you want, whether it is the inheritance of civilization or the return of the name of the country and the undead archon, is directly related to the possibility of our future cooperation. ”

In fact, what I asked was nonsense, if it was the latter, he would not come to me at all, let alone be surprised and shocked by the sight of the dead and the living getting along equally, what he wanted was the inheritance of civilization and culture.

But at this time, as long as he says it, it is equivalent to putting forward his own purpose in the negotiation in advance, then it is my turn to make an offer at will.

Sandru the Blighter's mouth moved, but there was no way out, and while I was wondering if he was going to bend up or a new negotiation skill, he jerked his hand, and the mummy translator jumped out again, and then he got stuck in his neck and gasped.

Then I understood, I didn't know how to use the voice too few times, and I couldn't speak in this excitement.......

In the past, he was probably used to giving orders in the language of the soul, but for an existence like us, which is the essence of the soul, opening one's soul at will is both a provocation and a high degree of danger, which can be avoided naturally.

"What Your Majesty desires is the inheritance of civilization, at least to let the history and culture of the Tali Republic multiply again on this land......"

Finally, this mummy is still sharp-tongued, and this supplement is still very timely.

I can understand this mentality, because this is also Esso's original goal, he originally planned to wait for the undead to take control of Bair, and then force the introduction of Tali's ancient language to the newborns, and force the study of necromantic magic, the history of the Tali Republic, and other courses, and then extend to politics, philosophy, art, and humanities, and then gradually realize the revival of the entire civilization.

And this, for other countries, must be premised on conquest, but for us, it is not very difficult to achieve.

The Ciro Empire originally had a mix of undead and humans, and they had no culture and heritage, so introducing the Ciro Empire could achieve some of the goals.

The Lan Alliance has made the practice of necromancy open and normalized, and even the Elven Empire can be revived, and it is not impossible to revive a Tali Republic, and only need to give up some resources from the Xiluo Empire, compared to the huge benefits that can be obtained, it is really not a thing.

Moreover, after the war, if Lan Meng can have the last laugh, then there will be a lot of open space, and there will be no resistance and hostility to the undead, so what is wrong with reviving a republic of the undead with a large number of living people.

“…… Lanmeng is the only continent that can accept you, and you have seen the popularity of undead and necromancy here, but how much you can get in the end depends on your efforts. ”

We have a lot of chips on our side, but we don't have much to pay, so no matter how you look at it, it's a business worth looking forward to.

To be honest, I think as long as the Sandru in front of him is willing to contribute, it is already worth the ticket price, not to mention anything else, at least in terms of combat power, this one is also the highest among the Emperor of the Dead.

Of course, I'm not going to tell the truth, reviving a country, this thing can't be a one-stop deal.

It is impossible for us to sign a written agreement this time, and on the surface, the undead emperors are still attacking Bayer, and after these messy things get out, it will not only shake the military morale and morale of the undead, but also make Lan Meng bear the stigma of colluding with the invaders.

At that time, not to mention international isolation, the Templar Church had a reason to carry out the Northern Expedition.

"There are some things that can only be done, not ......"

Since the Republic of Tali intends to be reborn in the Northland, then, after that, it will definitely send precious treasures such as personnel, magic materials, historical documents, etc., and the Northland will prepare space and personnel to accept these materials, and arrange for orphans and teenagers to learn the greetings of the Republic, and when the progress of the Republic's recovery is placed in front of the Emperor of the Dead, it will be a matter of course.

If they are satisfied, it means that they have recognized the new Republic of Tali, and whoever moves the Northland is equivalent to touching their lifeline.

As for the other undead emperors, we don't care, and the only one who has an alliance with me is Sandru in front of me.

Of course, these things must not leave words and evidence, as for the rumors that may result from the leakage of intelligence...... There have been a lot of rumors these years, and it's over if I don't admit it.

Isn't the privilege of a superpower just a professional foreign exchange hooligan, just talking empty words and denying some rumors, as long as it is not caught with ironclad evidence, it is simply too easy to use the propaganda caliber and diplomats of the Lanmeng.

Finally, Sandru opened his eyes, but there was a blank in them, but the outstretched arms and the smile that were squeezed out were undoubtedly a sign of "deal".

When the right hands of the dead and the living are held together, the covenant in the shadow is fulfilled. (To be continued.) )
