The St. Joels Empire is a theocratic empire, and the biggest feature of this country is that it is "a country of believers". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so it is almost impossible to infiltrate and rebel against this country, even their old rival Maggie Empire, at most it can only influence the lower classes of people and merchants to a certain extent, so the information obtained is usually extremely limited.

In other words, it is often only when the St. Joels Empire makes some large-scale moves that the Maggie Empire can get some information and respond.

The turmoil and fall of the Duchy of Rumber and its defection have been a great disgrace to the Maggie Empire for thousands of years.

Because they hadn't received any news of the St. Joels Empire's actions beforehand.

But after this, the Maggie Empire naturally learned to be smart.

The annual expenditure on intelligence accounts for almost one-third of the military department, which undoubtedly greatly exacerbates the difficulty of the Maggie Empire's annual balance. Therefore, Albarez's defection will be particularly important, and even the Maggie Empire did not spend much energy and time to study its origin in detail, so it directly became the hottest celebrity in the entire Maggie Empire in just a few months.

Of course, that's another story.

The benefits of such a huge investment in the Maggie Empire are naturally also huge, and the result is that the Maggie Empire knows the results of the major battles related to the War of Destiny, which makes the Maggie Empire have the upper hand in the battle with the St. Joels Empire in the past few years since the end of the War of Destiny. But this kind of superiority does not bring greater advantages and rights to the Maggie Empire, and it is probably just a few mouthfuls of sulking that have been held in my heart for a long time.

So, the Maggie Empire received information that the St. Joels Empire had sent a secret force.

It's just that more information about this force is no longer available to them.

But it is precisely because of this that the Maggie Empire attaches so much importance to Cecilia's arrival, and even does not hesitate to send a huge and grand greeting scene.

And all this, naturally, was also seen by the St. Joels Empire, which naturally led to the pressure of Bai, who was going to the God of War Mountain to negotiate with Emily: his mission was a negotiation that would not allow failure. If they can't get the support of the God of War Kingdom, although it will not lead to the destruction of the Saint Joels Empire, in the long run, they will fall into a situation of great vitality.

This long-term future does not refer to more than a decade or a few decades, but hundreds or even thousands of years.

This was exactly what the St. Joels Empire could not allow.

In the Northern Continent, two empires are enough to share all the benefits, and there is no place for a third empire to step in.

However, at the same time that a fierce battle broke out in the God of War Mountain, a meeting had just ended in the Maggie Palace.

The door to the Great Council Chamber, which had been closed for hours, was opened by two guards, and Cecilia left with Kokire, Alexis, and two of her attendants calmly. There were no less than ten Imperial Ministers standing nearby, and each of them paid their respects to Cecilia as she passed by—not only for Cecilia's identity, but also for Cecilia's strength, for just yesterday Cecilia and Thea had a friendly magical match.

The competition consists of three items: Theory of Knowledge, Magic Analysis, and Practical Magic.

In addition to the theory of knowledge, Thea and Cecilia are on par, and the other two projects ended with Cecilia winning. In particular, the magic analysis is known as the main event - the Maggie Empire has high hopes for Thea in this regard, because magic analysis has always been the most important knowledge ability of magicians, and it has a crucial influence on the rule analysis.

And Thea is also the youngest generation of Maggie Empire, with the most outstanding magic analysis ability, even compared to many old legendary magicians.

Thea's highest record is to successfully resolve a key node of level 7 magic in three seconds and disable the active magic - this is also the most common method of warfare used by mages, especially on the battlefield. After all, it takes a long time and a lot of magic to activate any large-scale magic at the battlefield level, and whether a magician can quickly and successfully analyze the key nodes in it, forcing the magic to fail and self-detonate and backlash can almost be said to be the key to a war.

But in the end, it was Cecilia who defeated Thea by a strong margin of nearly a second.

As for the actual combat magic project, the Maggie Empire never expected Thea to defeat Cecilia from the beginning. After all, Cecilia activated the phoenix bloodline, and the Maggie Empire has not heard of the famous forbidden bloodline magic such as Solomon's Seventy-two Flames, and it can even be said that it was once fortunate to fight side by side with the magicians of the Lombel family who awakened this bloodline, so the royal library of the Maggie Empire has a secret file about this aspect.

It is no exaggeration to say that the royal family of the Maggie Empire probably knows better than Cecilia the terrifying and powerful Seventy-Two Flames of Solomon.

Defeating the Maggie Empire in the proudest area of the Maggie Empire is nothing like this, and the people of the Maggie Empire feel the great disparity of power.

So, the name Cecilia, in just one day, became a saint. Maggie's most influential legend.

As a result, Cecilia was able to control the rhythm of almost the entire meeting in the previous meeting earlier today.

With Cecilia leaving, the important ministers who were guarding outside the hall were finally summoned by King Maggie.

The atmosphere in the council hall was a little dignified, and the important ministers of the empire who were seated one by one did not speak for a while.

"Queen Phoenix didn't accede to our request for an alliance for the time being, but she didn't say anything about it either." After a moment of silence, the current emperor of the Maggie Empire was the first to break the silence, and then spoke, "The hope of forming an alliance with the Void Empire is still very great. ”

"What does the Queen of Phoenix want?" Someone spoke.

"She didn't say it." The answer was an important minister of the empire who was fortunate enough to be able to participate in the talks, he was in charge of the diplomatic work of the Maggie Empire, and this was his ticket to enter the conference hall to participate in the talks, but unfortunately, this important minister's performance today did not satisfy his emperor, "But I guess it should be related to our energy project." ”

"Energy?"

Several important ministers in the conference room looked a little surprised.

"There's one thing I have to bring up here." A man who was standing tall even on a chair spoke in a deep voice, although he was already half white and his hair had turned gray, but his momentum was awe-inspiring, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, "Recently, I have received some reports from the intelligence department, and recently some people have begun to inquire about the news of the magic nuclear source energy project. …… Although they are very stealthy and difficult to catch, no intelligence spy can be kept absolutely secret. ”

"What do you mean......" the Emperor who sat at the head of the seat frowned slightly, "Queen Phoenix is here for our Demon Core Source Energy?" ”

"I'm not sure, but if Lord Auburn's speculation is true, then I have to doubt it." The old man, who should be the Minister of Military Affairs, spoke in a deep voice, "I have heard that the Void Empire has the most powerful and outstanding intelligence department in the entire Southern Continent. What if the Queen of Phoenix wasn't just the five people she seemed? ”

"This energy plan is just an unfinished product, not even a semi-finished product." Another gray-haired, feeble-haired old man frowned, "We've been working on this project for twenty years, but we've made very little progress so far. Even...... If it weren't for that Sean, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to make a phased breakthrough, why would the Void Empire want this thing? You must know that now those guys at the Hytham Institute are basically standing behind the Void Empire, and they already have the most advanced research capabilities in the entire continent. ”

The old man's doubts seemed to have become a fuse, and the entire conference hall soon became noisy.

"Quiet." It seemed that he had a headache because of the argument, and the emperor angrily reprimanded, "Everyone, don't you think that the topic of your discussion has been deviated? ”

"Your Majesty, but if the Queen of Phoenix is really here for this research, then we may be able to use this as a bargaining chip." The Minister of Foreign Affairs suddenly spoke, "Judging from the current progress, without foreign assistance, it will probably take a very long time for us to completely complete the Demon Core Source Energy." However, if the Void Empire is also drawn into it to cooperate with us in research, then we can not only obtain the scientific research power of the Haltham Institute, but also be able to form an alliance with the Void Empire, which is a plan that can only benefit us and not do any harm. ”

"I think this plan is viable." Soon, a major minister spoke.

And with the first one, naturally there were second and third important ministers who spoke up to support it, and in an instant, more than half of the people in the conference hall supported this plan.

"Then here's the problem." Sebal, who had been silent, finally spoke at this time, "How can we be sure that Queen Phoenix is here for the Demon Core Source Energy?" What if that's not what she wants? ”

"Then we have nothing to lose, but we will be able to strengthen the friendship between us and the Void Empire." The Foreign Minister named Auburn spoke again, "We just need to pay attention to the wording and invite the Void Empire to join us in the name of collaborative research." ”

"Good." The emperor of the Maggie Empire was finally somewhat satisfied with his foreign minister, "Just do what Auburn says." ”

"Yes." (To be continued.) )
