Chapter 63: A Letter in Reply
The magic that Xiao Chen cast already has a bit of the meaning of "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll". This is the latest result of his research with Xiao Dui, he named it Fantasy Invitation, a magic that brings people into his mind through the medium, in which he added the techniques of the original world film editing, plus the use of some psychological hints in the color tone and perspective, the effect is much better than the simple scene reproduction. In the end, the effect of this magic is not inferior to the magic inherited from the Tower of Dreams. In the eyes of the parties, it is even more miraculous.
Although this magic itself has no offensive power, it can be used for display and persuasion, but it is beyond the reach of those combat magic.
In the eyes of Viscount Jossa, Olgas was stunned when he saw the letter, this strange scene lasted for about twenty minutes, and he even began to worry about whether Xiao Chen had cast any curse on the earl, so anxious that sweat began to appear on his forehead. Just when he couldn't resist touching Count Olgas, the other party moved.
"It's fine. The Count glanced at him, "It seems that you do not know the contents of this letter. β
"I, I really don't know. However, please believe me, His Excellency Xiao Chen has no malicious intent. Viscount Josa said hurriedly.
"I know, Josah. I know. The Earl's voice dragged on slowly, and it was obvious that he was still thinking about something in his head, "I have a question, what do you think the Chinese really want?"
Viscount Josa was stunned by his question, and then he himself fell into thought, he understood that the Chinese want territory, people, and power, which are all obvious things. However, all of this seems to be a tool for them to achieve a deeper purpose. Whether it is judgment or redemption, it is only a process to obtain that purpose.
Recalling some of the words that Xiao Chen had said to him all the way, a spiritual light flashed out of his mind: "I think they want to change this world and make it what their original world is. No, not the way it was, but the better it was!"
"Hmm...... Is that really the case?" the Count put his hand on his chin and thought for a while, then took out a piece of paper from the drawer, wrote a paragraph on it, and then put it in Xiao Chen's envelope, handed it back to Viscount Josa and said, "You go back." Help me and His Excellency Xiao Chen, this is a chance for me to give him, let him prove it to me. He should understand. β

Two hours later, in a makeshift camp two kilometers from Kurokikik.
The letter was spread out on a folding table, and Shi Hao, Xiao Chen and the others surrounded the letter, their faces were a little strange.
"Prove that we are really going to fight the Empire and are determined to keep them out of the Blackwood Pass?, so let's transport the pneumatic cannons to the checkpoint and bombard the outpost camp of the Purple Eagle Empire on the opposite side?" Shi Hao glared at Xiao Chen, "Where did he get the confidence to put forward such a condition? Are you sure you showed him all the scenes of our bombardment of Suero?"
"Of course. Do you want me to let you feel it too?" Xiao Chen pouted, "That's really an epic blockbuster effect." β
"I never thought they could make such an outrageous request. Shi Hao slapped on the table, "He wants to see it, I can show him a good look, but it's not the Imperial People, it's his Heimu Pass." β
"Hey, Grand Master Shi, dissipate your anger and speak well, don't grow your temper with the official rank. Xiao Chen said.
Shi Hao was about to refute, but Xiao Chen raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, I thought about it, these people's thinking is different from our era." We cannot interpret this issue in terms of modern people, especially disputes between modern states. If you follow their customs and habits, you will find that his request is not all vexatious, but on the contrary, it shows that he has a certain sincerity. β
"Okay, okay, you say, you explain one to me. Shi Hao sat down and looked at Xiao Chen, ready to listen to how he explained the matter.
"This thing, to put it simply, is a vote. Xiao Chen said.
"Petition for nomination? Is he taking refuge in us, and actually asking us to give us a petition?" Shi Hao asked rhetorically.
Xiao Chen explained, "We have to prove that we are indeed not on the side of the Empire. This Olgas may really be a 'good' general who cares about the border. What such a person is most worried about is that on the one hand, he has just handed over the Heimu Pass, and we will let the Imperial people in there. β
"How could we possibly do such a thing. South of Kuroki Pass is the territory we aspire to take. Shi Hao said.
"You know, but he Olgas doesn't know. If we were a very short-sighted regime, we might not have made the choice of letting the Empire in and letting them fight against the kingdom's army, so that we could defend our own acres and thirds of land, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The pressure of all kingdoms' counterattacks will be shared by the Empire. β
Huang Zheng nodded and said, "Such concerns are not unreasonable. Didn't you notice? According to Count Carlos's original alliance plan, the strategy of the battle was this idea, and the empire was originally a hungry wolf that they put in to grab meat together. According to your analysis, Olgas does need to worry that we are just tricking him into giving up Blackwood Pass, in fact, to open the way for the 'our ally' Empire. β
Xiao Chen said: "And to prove that we are not with the Empire, there is nothing more convincing than shelling the Empire's camp." β
Huang Zheng said: "Moreover, we have just leveled a camp of the Empire, and even if we have any ideas later, it will be difficult to stand on the same side as the Empire." Everyone knows that we are outsiders, and we have nothing to do with the empire or the kingdom, and this battle is forcing us to stand our ground. β
"It turned out to make us make a feud with the Empire. Shi Hao thought for a while and said, "Isn't this too naΓ―ve? β
Huang Zheng said: "It will take time to reconcile, now he just needs to create enough distrust between us and the empire." In this war, both we and the Imperials are short of time. β
"So, instead of setting up a trap for Olgas to capture our people and deceive us with weapons, is it the most important thing to be wary of?
Xiao Chen said: "Yes, what can he do if he cheats a small number of cannons? Even if we destroy some of our cannons, how about holding out longer? Unless ......"
"He also took refuge in the Empire!" Shi Hao said, slapping the table.
