Chapter 213: Leave
Octavir certainly wouldn't easily change her habit of thinking first of all about the interests of her homeland, and she probably never will, but the interests that the girl had in mind were a little different from what the other Imperial higher-ups thought. Changing to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess before, she would probably not hesitate to agree with the current approach of Lai and the others, but now the girl will not think so, knowing Nangong Rong's plan and fighting the abyss in person, she knows very well that the current crisis is only a temporary solution, if she doesn't do anything, sooner or later the abyss will appear.
At that time, the invasion of the Razfield plane may no longer be a group of brainless ordinary miscellaneous soldiers, and it is likely to be the regular troops of the Abyss. I think it's okay to have a tall man on top of the sky when the sky falls, but why should the Alliance protect this world unconditionally? Yes, magic crystals are indeed produced here, but Razfield is definitely not the only one in the plane rich in various resources, what if the Alliance can't take care of it all?
Therefore, Octavir believes that the Empire must find a way to organize enough forces to deal with the Abyss without the help of the Alliance, and that unifying Razfeld is just the beginning, and they need to keep an eye on the situation in other planes around them. Otherwise, the Abyss could take over the surrounding positions and form an encirclement of Razfeld, and then there would be no more.
The alliance's reinforcements can't come in, and it's difficult for the empire to break through, and the power comparison with the abyss is still very different, so it's okay to vote.
To put it bluntly, it's as simple as that, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess knows very well that in the face of a powerful enemy of the level of the Abyss, if the empire blocks the borders and does not contact people from other planes, and immerses itself in the dream of being the only one in the whole world, it will only gradually be isolated, and if they want to continue to survive in the terrible threat from the abyss, they must give up this mentality of not allowing others to be strong, and instead seek cooperation everywhere to fight against the abyss.
When necessary, she even has to take the initiative to send troops like the Alliance to help the people of other worlds repel the abyss - thinking of this, Octavir has another headache, because she really doesn't know how to persuade the upper echelons of the empire to give up their plans to take advantage of those worlds, and the ambition of expansion will only grow rapidly to infinity after breaking through the shackles of the plane, and it is impossible to eliminate it.
Therefore, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess thinks that at this moment, she must stand up and help Nangong Rong leave, and must not let the technology of cross-plane teleportation fall into the hands of the empire, at least not yet, otherwise the empire will have a great chance of falling into the quagmire of war on a large-scale invasion of other worlds and cannot extricate itself, which is very dangerous when the abyss is eyeing in the shadows.
Even if Rogge leaves the Razfeld plane, the ordinary abyssal monsters that are raging everywhere in the alliance will not leave, and only when the empire that marches here for the cause of unification sees the terrible harm caused by the abyss, will the higher-ups realize how terrifying the abyss is, and such a terrifying existence is likely to ravage the local residents in the plane next to the home world, use the resources there to enhance their combat power, and prepare to launch a second invasion of themselves, and then have a strong sense of crisis.
At this time, the eldest princess had the opportunity to suggest to Lai and the others to seek forces in other planes as allies, even including Nangong Rong, who was out of the control of the empire.
So when the puppets in the smoke gathered cautiously to guard against Lin Weiyin's sneak attack, and the puppets outside were engrossed in paying attention to the movement in the smoke, Octavier decisively found Nangong Rong and his cheap sister, and then made a suggestion to send them away.
Lin Weiyin had already noticed the eldest princess approaching from behind through the radar, but since the other party always maintained a constant speed and did not make an attack posture, she did not intercept and planned to see what she wanted to do, but now after figuring it out, she turned her head to look at Nangong Rong next to her and asked, "Dear Ernie sauce, what do you say?"
"I think so, after all, if Octavir were on Ley's side, there would be no need to come over and set a trap for us, wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving to directly join the battle to expand the opponent's advantage?"
Octavier didn't answer Nangong Rong's question directly, but turned around and walked straight to the ruins of a nearby building, casually touched the ground twice with his toes and said, "Come and dig a hole, and remember to camouflage the hole at the end." ”
After a short while.
Old man Toronso, who was on the scene himself and was in charge of the operation, quickly found a way to deal with the smoke, he called a few magicians to blow away these obscuring things with wind spells, and then found the puppets that formed a circle of back-to-back with each other as if they were facing a great enemy. However, the most important Nangong Rong and Lin Weiyin disappeared without a trace, as if the magical professional named Ninja was abundant in a small remote country in the alliance camp disappeared from the smoke.
"My lord, there is no trace of a spell camouflage nearby, and every place has been carefully searched but nothing has been found, and the target is indeed no longer here. ”
The adjutant's report made the old man frown, thinking that it might be that the pair of righteous brothers and sisters mastered some kind of spatial teleportation technology so they could easily escape, and after being speechless for a while, he had to give up: "Forget it, we didn't think we would be able to succeed at one time anyway." As long as his countrymen are still gathering towards Dressppel, we can find him there. ”
This kind of spatial teleportation skill will definitely not be able to be used continuously, as long as the empire moves fast enough, it can be found before the other party completes the cooldown, and at that time, it doesn't matter whether Nangong Rong leaves or stays. Staying to protect his compatriots is not the condition to concoct a city-level puppet to fight against the imperial army, and if he gives up his compatriots and leaves alone, he will be at most a wage earner under Lin Weiyin's forces, and will not pose any threat.
It's a pity that the heart that the Duke has just put back in his stomach will soon be re-mentioned in the adjutant's next rambling report.
"That, that, there's one more thing...... Your Excellency, His Highness Octavir seems to be gone. ”
"Are you kidding me, a person as big as Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess will disappear under your nose!?" The old man suddenly had an urge to tie the adjutant to the back of the horse with a rope and drag it for ten kilometers, but that method is too outdated after all, maybe it should be more in line with the trend by replacing the horse with a tank, "What the hell is going on?"
Even if the adjutant couldn't guess what Toronso was thinking, he understood everything after seeing his terrifying eyes that were almost about to eat people, and he couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat and replied tremblingly: "Not long after Lin Weiyin emitted the smoke, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess entered the smoke. You know, Your Highness has a lot of strength that far surpasses that of ordinary masters, so we just thought she was going in to help the puppet, who would......"
The old man couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply, it was natural for the adjutant to think so, that level of battle was not something that ordinary masters could participate in at all, but it was not much of a threat to Octavier, so they naturally didn't think much about it after seeing the girl take the initiative to enter the smoke. As a result, after the smoke cleared, the eldest princess disappeared directly, what happened in between?
First of all, it is absolutely impossible for the girl to be defeated and taken away by Lin Weiyin, because the strength of the two of them should be equal from the point of view, then there is only one possibility left, the eldest princess voluntarily took the initiative to leave with the other party.
Could it be that he eloped with Nangong Rong? Toronso pursed his lips and always felt that what he thought was a little unreliable, but the girl had reached this age after all, who dared to guarantee that she would never do such a thing? If this was the case, the old man thought that it would be good to deliberately let the two of them go without working hard in the process of chasing Nangong Rong, anyway, the Han people who were re-commanded by the young man after they were together would definitely not come to trouble the empire again, and the two sides could even cooperate occasionally.
The effect is similar to marriage, and before the assassination of the Emperor, wasn't Octavir arranged to be used for marriage, but this time it was a different object.
The premise is that the eldest princess really eloped with the boy, but judging from the situation that the old man has so far, it should not be very likely.
So, was it the girl who took the initiative to let Nangong Rong go, and used the secret passage underground? After the old man recalled the topography of the passage and the floor plan of Taven City a little, he suddenly understood everything. However, he didn't plan to break it down and do something about it, it was a philosophical difference between Octavill and Ley, and the supporters behind the little emperor, and the Duke didn't plan to step in and pull the shelf.
After all, if the eldest princess didn't plan to elope with Nangong Rong, it would be no surprise that she would come back by herself after a while.
On the other hand, Octavier, who was remembered by the old man Toronso, was walking with Nangong Rong and Lin Weiyin in a black rumbling underground tunnel at the moment. Fortunately, Lin Weiyin's body has its own lights, otherwise the few people who failed to activate the overhead lighting because they had not entered the tunnel from the correct entrance would have to move forward completely in the dark.
"I didn't expect this secret passage to pass near us, and if you hadn't said it, I'd never have guessed that there would be a hole underneath the ruins. ”
Nangong Rong, who was dragged by Lin Weiyin to fly close to the ground, seemed to want to break the silence of the embarrassing cancer attack along the way, because the eldest princess and the cheap sister didn't seem to be going to speak. This definitely won't work.,It's always a fact that the other party helped him no matter what considerations he had.,Even if it's a three-no girl, you should say [thank you] here, right?
Octavier still had an expression on his face that he didn't want to talk more, but under Nangong Rong's gaze, he slowly spoke: "It's really a coincidence, but you were outside the inner city at the time, very close to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, so it's not that unexpected." Compared to this, Nangong Rong, how do you feel about the Empire's approach today?"
The girl's worries are not unreasonable, Ley's move to turn their faces directly without saying a word is really ugly, in case Nangong Rong is completely annoyed, and the opportunity to be an ally with the boy is secondary, if the other party intends to use his ability to create and strengthen puppets to constantly make trouble for the Razfeld plane, it will be a real headache.
Even what kind of ability Nangong Rong has, what kind of plan he has to gather his compatriots, how much role he can play in the fight against the abyss, etc., everything has not been investigated, just seeing that the young man's strength is too strong and not controlled by the empire, he hurriedly took action to kill the other party, the purpose is just to eliminate the threat that the eight characters may pose to the empire?
Octavir knew that this wasn't exactly what Rey—though the younger brother eventually nodded in agreement—and if it was possible, the eldest princess really wanted to pull those guys who were nominally advising the Emperor in front of her, grab them by the collar, and spew each other's faces, but the girl was more tired.
The Empire has been arrogant for too long, and some bad habits may not be able to be broken in a moment. Therefore, it is necessary to send Nangong Rong out today, and also to find ways to ensure that he leaves the Razfeld plane safely with his compatriots. After the empire has seen the horrors of the abyss on the side of the alliance, these guys who always think they are superior will really lower their posture and pull down their faces to go to other worlds to seek cooperation for their own lives, and only then will they think of begging Nangong Rong.
If they can't pull their faces, it doesn't matter, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is happy to let these people take their troops to the front line to have a good fight with the abyss.
"Well, in my opinion, it should be expected and reasonable, right, you've always been good at these, aren't you?" Nangong Rong shrugged his shoulders with his hands on his face full of indifference, so that the girl couldn't accurately deduce anything from his expression, "It's just that I didn't expect to do it so quickly, and if things such as poisoning food and drinks are exposed, shouldn't it be a royal plot?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know where to start. ”
Even though she said that, Octavir breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason. Because Nangong Rong may usually be indifferent enough to show a poker face, but when he is provoked, he never hides it in the slightest, and anyone can tell whether the young man is angry or not.
And now, it is clear that he is not angry, and the eldest princess still has a chance to redeem the last bad impression of the young man of the empire.
