Chapter 2170: Starting Point City (Part I)
Although the various legions within the empire began to come into frequent contact, because they lost a person who could lead the overall situation, and the other legion commanders were not convinced by anyone, even if they had an advantage in total strength, the legions that were still waiting and watching still did not make any moves, neither showed their loyalty to the new emperor, nor withdrew from the lords who had agreed to assign to other countries, and the attitude was ambiguous, which also made the situation in the empire a little more uncertain.
But in the imperial capital, Shelley's mood has calmed down a lot, or he has been confidently sure, these days he has been discussing with the new forces of the military department led by Dino about the strategy of using troops and the personal information of the commanders of each legion, these are possible opponents in the future, and on the other hand, the imperial assassination force with the emperor as the only boss is also in a hurry again, and Shelley uses them to cut off the connection between the legions.
Although it is a bit of a suspicion of overkill, but Shelley did not care at all, coupled with the backing of the empire's science and technology, the war has not yet started, it has already shifted towards the side of the imperial power, and everything looks at the eyes of the Wu enemy, that is the best proof that "those who have attained the Tao have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help", the people of the empire still trust their emperor, and the royal prestige has not been affected, so after the dragons have no leader, this situation is also normal.
And the attitude of other empires also shows this, whether it is out of the momentum of the empire that has accumulated power for a long time, or eager to recuperate, the rainbow alliance and the Truss empire behind him and a small group of countries have accepted the conditions put forward by the empire, and a few small countries that have complained have not made any remarks, but on the side of the empire, they have also helped many people who have been destroyed to rebuild their own countries, which has won a lot of praise.
And Wu Di also put forward his own proposal two days ago, he wanted to establish a neutral city in the territory ceded by the empire, but Shelley had his own considerations, he first wanted to seal Wu Di a piece of land, and how to use it, it was all up to his own opinion, according to his will, Wu Di's merits were enough to obtain higher honors.
But to everyone's shock, Wu Di actually refused this rich reward, "I am not a person of the empire, what I do is only for my own consideration, and it cannot be regarded as noble, so Your Majesty wants to give me such a generous gift, it will make many people unconvinced, for the sake of Your Majesty's prestige and the harmony of the Empire, I still implore Your Majesty to grant my previous request, let me choose a desolate planet as my starting point." ”
Of course, Wu Di understood Shelley's considerations as an emperor, he wanted to tie himself to the chariot of the empire in this way, and he had a vague feeling that the new emperor had begun to try to use power, that is, he had already regarded himself as a new threat, maybe the fact that he could defeat Rose finally made him alert.
Originally, if he followed the practice of normal smart people, he would not be able to disobey the will of the people in power at this time, and then find an opportunity to disappear from the other party's field of vision, but Wu Di had to do this, because he was not only representing himself, he also had his own forces, and the earth behind him, no matter what unpredictable things happened in the future, he had to withstand all the pressure, until another person who could share the pressure for him appeared.
Shelley naturally didn't want to let go of Wu's enemy, but what he said had to be considered, and now the situation has not stabilized, he has to consider the thoughts of his subordinates, so he had to agree to Wu's request, but as for where the place he wants will be located, it can't be decided by him alone, it will have to wait for this war to subside, and then it will be decided by the countries after they agree on the land agreement.
"Master, do you think the little emperor will really let us go?" I always felt that his gaze became sharper and sharper, almost like a wolf's. At this, the queen shook her head.
Wu Di stood in the courtyard, looking at the orchid tree with purple flowers in the courtyard, sighed and said: "Of course he doesn't want to let us go, but this matter doesn't depend entirely on his personal intentions, he is also afraid that I will be forced to be anxious, I will flee to other countries, so instead of offending us, it is better to befriend us, this is the mind of an emperor, I didn't expect him to be an emperor for a few days, there is such a city." ”
"It's not necessarily all his own thoughts, I just saw the old men who came with us, going in and out of the little emperor's tent every day, and it seems that they have a lot of ideas!" Huo Yu said disdainfully.
"This is natural, but anyway, we can't be idle in the future, there are still a lot of things to deal with, the little emperor said that the place we want must be agreed with the monarchs of other countries, I think it is a false promise, but for the sake of the future, we are now going to send people to start contact with politicians from other countries, and it is best to let them all make some concessions. Wu Di said what he had been thinking about recently while looking at the old tree spirit.
"You mean, we're going to make them feel that it's good for them to befriend us?" said the old tree spirit, stroking his beard.
"That's right, although the timing is not yet certain, but the next few empires will enter a period of relatively peaceful development, and we and we had better take the opportunity to establish a strong relationship between them, and this relationship must be based on trade, so it is better for us to get a place close to the three empires. ”
"Master, isn't there a teleportation array, is the location of the city really that important?" asked Huo Yu puzzled.
"This is natural, the teleportation array also consumes energy, and it is proportional to the weight and distance of the teleportation, so although the empire's wealth is very abundant, but only in emergency war periods, the teleportation array will be activated, and it is usually used by means of transportation, and civilians have to pay money to use the teleportation array!" Shadow patted Fire Feather's head.
"But we've never paid for the teleportation array!" said Fire Feather, holding his head.
"Haha!" everyone was delighted when they heard it.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Think about the time we have passed through the portal in the normal way, even the guards of the teleportation array have been beaten away by us, who else will collect money from us?" the snake opened his mouth for a rare time.
"That's right!"
"Okay, that's the end of the gossip, Shadow is right, since we want to make a living through trade, we must first have a good relationship with the surrounding forces, so the most important thing in the long term or in the immediate is to send people to get in touch with various countries, and it just so happens that the people of the Rainbow Alliance, we have also met some before. ”
