Although the speed of the Qi Power Feather Ship is not said to be faster than that of the beastly horse, it is difficult to compete with the real powerhouse.

However, the absolute superiority of the volley, as well as the inherent magic circle that never tires, still determined that this was the most efficient mode of transportation on the entire continent.

Only a few days later, the feather ships that Su Mu and Lu Xi were riding had already entered the territory of the empire.

Regarding the return and arrival of Su Mu and Lu Xi, the imperial side naturally already knew the news.

And the current situation on the mainland obviously determines the importance that the empire attaches to this matter.

Therefore, it was when Su Mu and his party had just entered the territory of the empire.

An imperial dragoon that not only contained a greeting gift, but also contained a faint vigilance, also appeared in front of Su Mu and his party.

The cavalry general at the head of this trip is naturally Sun Lan, who has met with Su Mu and others several times.

Although in the incident of the Peacock King Capital, Su Mu and Sun Lan at that time were obviously in an opposing position, and even Sun Lan returned in vain because of this.

But at this moment and then, the empire and the confederation, which were then competing against each other by the fanning of the Papal States, were now forced to embark on the road of union.

Therefore, as imperial soldiers, the caracal winged dragoons naturally need to show their sincerity to Su Mu again.

I saw that as Su Mu and his party entered the territory of the empire, the dragoon detachment led by Sun Lan was always guarding the surroundings of the Federation Feather Ship.

He did not interfere with the actions of the Federation and his party, but he never left the line of sight of the feathered ship.

Apparently enough...... The posture of the guards!

And for such behavior, of course, Su Mu did not stop it.

After all, it now seems that the mutual cooperation between the empire and the federation has long been an inevitable end. Therefore, whether it is Sun Lan or Su Mu, they actually hope that they can get the final result faster.

Because the flames of war on the continent have long been blazing at both ends of the world at the same time.

If the Empire and the Confederation cannot reach a cooperation as soon as possible, I am afraid that the ambition of the Papal States to annex the mainland will once again surge and directly force the Empire and the Confederation to be unhindered for the time being.

......

"What do you think is the bottom line on the part of the Empire?"

In a high-level reception room inside the feather ship, Su Mu and the three of them, as the top managers of the group, were reading the information from various sources to each other.

Together, they studied what kind of outcome the discussion would end into.

The questioner at this time was naturally Su Mu, who was faintly the main among the three.

Although in terms of status and strength, even Su Mu, who has become the fifteenth seat of the academy, still has a huge gap compared to Lu Xi, who has already touched the edge of the big character level.

And when it comes to the level of understanding of that secret force, Hubert, who personally participated in the establishment of the army, is obviously above Su Mu, who has just returned to the mainland.

But there is no doubt that neither Lu Xi, who only has the identity of the academy tutor, nor Hubert, who is simply the commander of the Hanging Mountain Corps, cannot have the compatibility of Su Mu at the same time.

Today's Su Mu, although nominally as an envoy to the fifteenth seat of the academy.

Even in the official diplomatic rhetoric, he is only called a deputy envoy to assist Lu Xi.

But even so, everyone understands:

The one who can really communicate with the Empire on an equal footing, and at the same time does have the ambition to be promoted, and has even faintly formed a federal force...... It is still the "Federal Future" called Su Mu.

So at this moment, in the face of Su Mu's casual questioning.

Today's Hubert, however, has already put his identity very seriously, and has replied very respectfully:

"Regarding the exchange of the movements of the main military forces of the two powers, this is the least controversial link at the moment. After all, even if the two sides do not need to explain to each other in a military movement of this scale, the other side will be able to know about it sooner or later through the intelligence system. ”

"The issue that is currently being debated between the two sides is actually about the contradiction between the two sides' war goals. ”

"The present empire clearly wants to counterattack in one fell swoop, so that the momentum of the Papal States will be greatly damaged from the beginning. And they forcibly sent troops into the territory of the Rakshasa country, in fact, they followed this logic. ”

"But the Confederation clearly can't really agree with the Empire's policy. After all, the internal situation of the federation has actually determined that the federation must not act too rashly. Therefore, in terms of the urgency of the war, the Federation obviously has the opposite attitude to the Empire, and does not want a full-scale counteroffensive to start too soon. ”

Speaking of this, Hubert specifically pointed to the material that Su Mu had just put down.

Then based on that material as an argument, he finally concluded:

"The Empire can't be unaware of the state of the Confederation, so I don't think they're out of room for concessions, but they're waiting for the Confederation to pay the price. ”

"As for what this price is, judging from the current information, I am afraid that this is exactly the purpose of our trip...... That hidden force that exists outside the Empire and the Federation!"

......

The information that Su Mu had just put down was naturally the minutes of the negotiation that had been sent back through the alchemy communicator.

From that material, in fact, everyone can clearly see:

The current imperial side obviously did not intend to make a decision immediately, but deliberately delayed the speed of the negotiations, waiting for Su Mu and Lu Xi to arrive.

That is to say, they are obviously not satisfied with the conditions given through Su Tong now.

And from the perspective of the empire now, the person who can really give enough benefits is Su Mu, who has just returned from the abyss and will definitely take care of the matter of the joint forces.

"Actually, we don't have to think too much about this. ”

"After all, the current intelligence is limited, and we don't know exactly what the Empire has in mind. So instead of spending time speculating on things that will never lead to results, it is better to study the composition of that secret force in more detail. ”

In the middle of the conversation between Su Mu and Hubert, Lu Xi, who had not spoken before, took over the conversation lightly, and took the opportunity to unfold some extremely secret information on several cases.

As Lu Xi said, since it is now uncertain what kind of sincerity the empire wants, it is naturally difficult to predict the subsequent negotiations.

Rather than that, it is better to simply abandon this illusion.

Instead, he wholeheartedly went to study the hidden force that was about to be taken over by Su Mu and Lu Xi.

If this secret force is in itself, it will indeed become a capital for dialogue with the Empire...... Then a deeper understanding of it is also an indispensable part of the discussion!
