Volume 7 The Ferryman of the River Styx Chapter 54 The Ancient Arena

During the duration of the battlefield, Isaac once again threw out what Wang Wei had stated - the Ancient Arena was Isaac's territory, and Hugo was not allowed to set up a stronghold in his territory, and Hugo should immediately withdraw from that stronghold, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Hugo naturally scoffed at this statement, although he knew that the man might have been involved with some of the lords in the Ancient Arena, but that didn't mean that those lords were really representative, there were countless big and small lords in the entire Ivanses, who could you represent?

However, the day after Hugo refuted Isaac's arguments at the Far Mountain Council, Hugo's entire frontier camp in the Ancient Arena disappeared overnight. According to some of the people who got back, during the night, a giant with a castle-like crown on his head claimed to be the lord of Evanses, and he led a large group of creatures to attack the camp, trampling everything in the camp, and all those who escaped were alive, and those who did not return were all executed by the giant.

Hugo did not say anything about it for three whole days. He couldn't blame Isaac, because to blame Isaac was to show that Isaac had really joined forces with the lords of the Ancient Arena to expel outsiders. And he couldn't help but be silent.

So, just three days later, Emperor Hugo made a lengthy statement through his representative in the Far Mountain Council.

The statement was read for more than an hour, but it was very little. The main thing is to condemn Isaac's wishful thinking in dealing with the Ancient Arena, the reputation of the Ancient Arena is basically shared by Hugo and Verne, and anyone who tries to get their hands on the Ancient Arena is a vicious thug, and Isaac is dreaming out of thin air. At the same time, Emperor Hugo also announced that in order to protect the Ancient Arena, Hugo and Verne would form a strategic alliance to jointly defend their land.

For this statement, any country on the mainland feels as if it lacks a sense of confidence. After all, immediately after Isaac's announcement, the Ancient Arena Lord's defeat of the outpost occurred. When it comes to the ownership of the Ancient Arena, any country in the world knows that it doesn't belong to another country, but Isaac and Hugo are different.

The man was not assassinated at the time, and what he announced was, 'The lord of the Ancient Arena has declared the Ancient Arena to be incorporated into the Isaac realm.' ’

What Hugo announced at this time was that it was originally the common territory of Hugo and Verne. ’

Although everyone knew that the Ancient Arena had always been between Hugo and Verne, they had never dared to say such a thing in all these years. And the map they gave to other countries did not indicate that it was their territory.

At this time, after some people's intentional or unintentional reminders, people finally remembered. When Wang Wei raised the question of the ownership of the Ancient Arena, he was immediately attacked.

You know, Verne never made any expeditions to the Ancient Arena due to the inconvenience of entering the Ancient Arena, and Hugo always treated it as if it were his own backyard.

If Verne sent it at the moment, who would believe it?

-=-

The war between Isaac and Verne seems to have been endlessly stalemate, and the whole process of transformation from the close attention of the continent at the beginning to the current resigned to it is very delicate. Isaac's new Crystal Cannon began to be mass-produced at Isaac's military factory, and began to equip the troops. A series of tests on the battlefield have made countries around the world realize the advantages of this new low-cost crystal-burning cannon. Some countries began to hand over the original orders for the crystal-burning cannon to Isaac, and compared with Hugo's twisted and pinched production method, Isaac's crystal-burning cannon seemed to be produced very quickly, and soon some orders received samples one after another, and after the trial, it entered the mass production stage without any problems.

So, Hugo's most pillar money bag was once again put into a hand.

Hugo has always controlled the production of crystal-burning cannons, he said that the production is as fast as it is, and he says that the production is slow, and few people dare to have any opinion on their approach except for the big countries. After all, the process of production of such weapons seems to be a secret in many countries of the world. With the exception of Tolkien, a country that has the production technology to buy from a foreign country, few countries are willing to pay for it.

Thus, this time Isaac's open competition was tantamount to giving Hugo a big mouth, and the largest order Tolkien placed an order for a thousand guns almost on the day of the artillery's presentation. And with this world big brother taking the lead, other countries are naturally very relieved.

Tolkien wanted to buy these crystal-burning cannons to put on his new battleship, and for a long time, the ship's guns rarely used crystal-burning cannons because of the cost. In a naval battle, hundreds of shells were almost fired, and if they really used the Burning Crystal Cannons to fight each other, it is estimated that few would be able to withstand it. But once the costs fall, then a large country such as Tolkien will surely benefit the most. Because even this level of cost cannot be afforded by small countries.

On the one hand, it was Isaac who held back the entire 2 million coalition troops in Verne with a mere 300,000 troops. On the other hand, Verne had to pay extra for the whole million extra army for no reason, including food and supplies.

Ever since Isaac restricted Verne's food supply, some of the country's common people or merchants became dissatisfied with the state. Some public opinion even believes that it was the Emperor Verne who blindly obeyed the words of Emperor Hugo, which led to the deterioration of relations with Isaac, and finally led to a series of conflicts with Isaac. Guided by some clouds that came out of nowhere, the populace began to tend to think that this was Hugo's invasion of Verne. Hugo is a bastard country, their emperor is also a bastard, as soon as Verne invaded Isaac, Hugo was behind the ghost, and that time Hugo used strategic magic was also Hugo's conspiracy, in order to weaken Verne's power. And this time it was the assassin sent by Emperor Hugo, in order to achieve the goal of controlling Verne, Hugo has been trying to weaken Verne.

And this time, after provoking the war between Verne and Isaac, Hugo came to Verne but did not help Verne to fight, but always hid on the sidelines to watch the play, which shows the ambition of Emperor Hugo, in fact, he is the real careerist. And Isaac is not!

I don't know where this statement came from, but the head of it is the Tao, combined with what Emperor Hugo has been doing, it sounds and looks like that. And some of the methods of Emperor Hugo are indeed suspicious. Ordinary people do not understand national politics, and the two issues they are most concerned about are food and clothing. As long as they are well fed, clothed, and have money to spare, they don't care about anything else. National events are far away from them. What they need is a day of peace, not war.

Although the man named Kane was portrayed as a demon from the beginning, under the guidance of some public opinion, Isaac was associated with peace, prosperity and elegance in the minds of some people. This is not unrelated to the luxury represented by the Gray Dragon Castle and the nobility and elegance represented by the Elf Kingdom promoted by Wang Wei. Anyone who thinks of Isaac immediately thinks of these two places, not anything else.

The forgetfulness of the common people is very great, what they need is to live, and public opinion is the easiest to pass in the good days.

At first, the Emperor of Verne simply let this statement go, after all, he thought that he could still grasp Valjean's train of thought, and by then he found that he had become more and more suspicious of the development of such things.

He signed the Mountain Alliance, indicating that he was tying himself to Hugo, but he was responsible for other countries behind his back for something he had never done! The Emperor Verne realized that he had taken the wrong medicine, and he really signed at that time?

Clearly, Valjean that madman is looking for a back!

Emperor Verne increasingly felt that this might be the case.

For the rumors of the people, now it is more and more reasonable!

Ever since he was tied to Hugo, Verne had never received any benefit. If the conflict with Isaac at the beginning was self-inflicted, then everything that has happened since then has been caused by Hugo. In the confrontation with Isaac, Hugo did not get any benefit, and Verne was also implicated!

There are no absolute friends or enemies between countries, some only have absolute interests, and what countries need is not war, and even if they start a war, what they need is the benefits brought by war.

"Perhaps, I should go see the little empress?"

The Emperor Verne felt his heart pounding, and he seemed to have planned something very remarkable.
