Chapter 220: The Landscape of the Empire (Part II)
"Do you really want to negotiate with the Marquis of Timos in person?"
Thanks to the permission granted by the Marquis of Timos himself, Robin and O95 were allowed to leave the underworld and ascend to the surface of Brady Planet. However, on the way to the surface by the elevator, O95 has been worried, constantly questioning whether Robin needs to be involved in the negotiations.
"Do you think there's anything wrong with that?" Robin turned his head to look at O95 and asked indifferently.
"I think you should understand that the Barnard system you got belongs to the Marquis's domain, and although the Marquis doesn't really value this remote territory, you have offended the Marquis in this matter. So......" o95 pondered his words and shouted in a low voice, "So I think it is necessary for you to take care of the face of the Marquis, for a big man like them, face is more important than profit in many cases. ”
"So...... You think I shouldn't go? Robin smiled, noncommittal.
"Yes, you should give me more credit, and I promise to get the most out of my negotiations with the Marquis. You really don't have to risk angering the Marquis to participate in this negotiation, which will have consequences that we cannot afford. ”
O95's sentence is more serious, which can be seen that in the matter of negotiations, he is very opposed to Robin's participation, and even thinks that Robin's participation will play an extremely bad role in the negotiations.
"Really?" Robin raised an eyebrow and reminded, "But he already knows that I exist, that I am here." If I don't show up for this negotiation, I don't think he's snubbing him. ”
"I have a good degree of confidence that the Marquis will deliberately ignore this, after all, ignoring your presence can cover up the shame of his territory being taken by you. You must know that in the current situation, the Marquis of Timos and the Earl of Huggins have secretly declared war. If Earl Huggins knew that you were the one who had dishonored the Marquis, and that he had been able to identify himself in front of the Marquis, he would have made a big deal about it, in order to gain the support of more nobles. The Marquis would never allow such a thing to happen, so if you did appear in front of the Marquis of Timos, he would never allow you to walk out of his Marquis Tower alive. O95's voice began to become very urgent as the rail elevator was close to the ground, hoping to convince Robin to give up the crazy idea before he died.
Robin glanced sideways at O95 and asked, "You want me to show weakness to him?" ”
"Yes, in due time, showing weakness is not something intolerable, I think ......"
"No, I'm not going to show weakness, especially in the beginning." Before O95 could finish speaking, Robin interrupted him in a cold tone: "In many cases, the first impression becomes the final impression. I don't want to intervene in the empire as a weak stance, and only by taking the lead in establishing my position with a strong posture can I break the impasse of the empire and seek a place for my survival. ”
"You're on an adventure! ~”
"Yes, I'm just taking an adventure. But if I don't take the risk, how can I break this impasse and really intervene in the aristocratic power of the empire? ”
"Your survival rate is not even ten percent, and you can't pin all your hopes on the mercy of the Marquis."
"I am not prepared to press the Marquis of Timos as a merciful man, you see, I have been prepared." Robin pointed to Zhuo Luo, Xia Zuo and the others who were sitting below him.
This time, in order to deal with the ultimatum of the Marquis of Timos, Robin mobilized almost all the elites in the Tiger Battalion, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a dump.
In the list of those who followed Robin to visit the Marquis of Timos's mansion, in addition to Robin, Leona, and O95, Zolo and Xia Zuo also led their newly formed special forces and followed Robin to participate in this visit in full gear.
This special team was specially instructed by Robin to be formed by Zhuo Luo after he officially took charge of the Tiger Battalion, and its combat power can be called the elite of the elite.
In addition to the three fixed iron triangles of Zhuo Luo, Xia Zuo, and Lee, Barrett? Taber and Barrett? The Taber brothers are also included. In addition, some of the elite fighters from the original Tiger Battalion were recruited to form this infantry special force with a size of between 10 and 15 people.
Among the recruits, -651 and -1279 are both old faces who participated in the Battle of Planet Wendini. After surviving the Battle of Planet Wendini, the two replicant warriors have grown by leaps and bounds, surpassing even the Tabel brothers in individual combat. And in addition to them, the most conspicuous are the two faces with blue skin and red skin.
Among them, the tall, thin, blue-skinned blue man named Luther came from the distant galaxy Centaur Spiral Arm. He has all the traits that he has as a blue race, and although he has only just opened up in terms of special abilities, he still received a + combat expertise evaluation when participating in the Hoffman Empire's genetic assessment, and in terms of individual combat, it is already comparable to most of the Empire's trainee knights.
The burly, red-skinned man was named Mario. Mario's name means belligerent in Latin, and Mario's xìng case is a fitting fit for his name. Not only is he hot-tempered and unusually belligerent, but he is also far superior to the ordinary red people who have long been known for their explosive power in terms of explosiveness, and even Zolo was almost seriously injured by surprise in the combat power test conducted by the selected personnel, which alone can reflect his strong individual combat ability.
This time, Robin came out with this Einsatzgruppen armed to the teeth. With this kind of combat power, even if it is a face-to-face hard shock of the Twin Star Knights, it is completely enough. And the preparation that Robin said is also here.
But in the eyes of O95, such a special team does not give him much security.
Although the combat power of this Einsatzgruppen can be ranked among the top in the same number of levels, and it is not far behind the elite guards in the hands of the great nobles in terms of individual ability, you must know that this is not a republic, not a federation, not the Kingdom of Thunder, this is the Hoffman Empire full of knights, even if Robin's Einsatzgruppen can be called an elite, it is difficult to hide the fatal flaws of this Einsatzgruppen.
With the exception of the two top-notch replicant warriors, -651 and -1279, everyone else is non-renewable, which means that the Einsatzgruppen cannot afford any casualties. The guards of the nobles were different, and their guards were in no way inferior to the regular knights in terms of combat power, and even comparable to those barons and viscounts themselves. They can also withstand far more casualties than Robin's Einsatzgruppen of natural persons, which is a disadvantage that Robin cannot compensate, and in terms of numbers, the gap is even greater.
In O95's opinion, Robin was completely carried away by the strength of this Einsatzgruppen on paper, so that he could not see the insurmountable gap between himself and the Marquis of Timos.
"Robin! ~ If you think about it carefully, do you want to wipe out the Tiger Battalion? The anxiety in their hearts made O95 can't help but let out a loud roar, but just then, the elevator stopped, which means that their current altitude has left the underground world and reached the surface of Brady planet.
"I'll admit I'm taking a risk, but a lot of times, taking a risk is the only shortcut to success!" Robin took a deep look at O95, resolutely put on his helmet and opened the elevator hatch.
Looking at Robin's stubborn ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
