"Your Excellency Wren, you don't seem to be in a hurry to go back?", on the train, across from Wren sat a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was not an aristocrat, had no illustrious background or surname, and did not even have the slightest connection to the powerful. It is said that this man was just an ordinary citizen who entered the palace by chance and became one of the celebrities around Empress Pars.

said that he was a celebrity, with two points, the first of which was his appearance. It is undeniable that when we often discuss the true intrinsic value of a person, we deliberately ignore that the physical appearance actually has a much higher value in the application of society than imagined. Men and women who are good-looking, handsome or beautiful can always get more opportunities and higher positioning. On the contrary, if there is a deviation in appearance and is not loved by the old man of the Father, then even if he has the ability, it will be difficult to display the ambition in his heart.

When human beings, or most living beings, have eyes, in addition to providing people with vision and a more intuitive way to feel the world, they will continue to confuse human beings themselves.

This young man is very good-looking, with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge and black hair, which makes his first impression excellent. In addition, his conversation is not like the little people in the market who always say things in the clouds, and his humorous conversation gives him a high score. Anyone who chats with him face-to-face for the first time will feel that this is a person worth associating, at least they won't hate him.

Wren didn't hate him either, Wren felt that this guy named Erkus must be educated, and it was difficult to find the philistine, timidity, and inferiority of the common class from him.

The second point is that Elkus is said to be able to perform magical magic tricks, and his magic tricks are different from those that are full of magic today, relying purely on a technique, or by changing the audience's attention to achieve the purpose of "magic". Many people enjoyed watching him perform magic tricks, which was the most important thing for him to survive in the imperial capital and be favored by the nobles and the Empress of Pars.

After combining the two points, he naturally became a celebrity, a star in the imperial capital, and one of the courtiers in front of Empress Pars.

When the Empress of Pars wanted to find a way to solve her troubles, she would call some courtiers to entertain her.

The reason why Erkus followed Wren to Bell Province was also at his own request. In his words, he is a Desi of pure blood, so it is natural to be obliged to dedicate some of his own insignificant strength when the empire is attacked by the outside world. Not only can he do magic, but he is also a sixth-level swordsman and has a certain amount of combat power.

Wren scoffed at this.

War has never been a breeding ground for individual heroism, not before, and never will be. On a battlefield where thousands of warriors are attacking each other, even if you are a sixth-level swordsman or a seventh-level swordsman, what if you have the slightest pause, it is very likely that an ordinary, only second- or third-level warrior will be able to stab the long sword in your chest.

The heroes who have existed in the legends of the past are actually non-existent, and the reason why they exist again is because the rulers need them to exist. For example, in a difficult battle, both sides suffer heavy losses, which is a crushing defeat for both the own side and the enemy. But the commander who commanded the battle, or the ruler who approved the battle, would not accept such an outcome.

Defeat is not just a defeat in a battle, but also a defeat at a higher level. So they need to make up a tragic hero, on the one hand, to divert people's attention from themselves, and on the other hand, to prove from the side that their actions are not at fault, even if they fail.

Heroes are more like a political means, a way to play, rather than a real thing. If there really are heroes, then everyone is a hero, even the dogs who go out with the army, they are heroes.

With the help of this, Empress Pars was actually beating some nobles in the imperial capital, as well as some wealthy people in the empire. Even a courtier who has gained prominence by pleasing the emperor knows how to contribute to the country, and you, the true rulers and owners of wealth, should also dedicate your own modest strength?

Elkus's behavior was set up by Empress Pars as a rallying cry to join the resistance against the invasion.

There will be no only such exemplars, but many of them, who, under the official hype of advertising and examples, attract enthusiastic patriots to join the army or help the empire.

Wren flicked the cigarette ash, the windows opened, and the wind blew in and blew away the ash that had not yet landed. He glanced at the smiling Elkus and nodded, "Even if I appear in Ortrenburg right now, it won't change anything." The Giant Legion will continue to attack the Iron Wall Pass, and they will not take the initiative to back down because I am here. All I can do is provide more systematic help, supplies and necessary soldiers. ”

"Even if I'm not there, I'm sure Joberg will do well, so like you said, I'm not in a hurry to go back. He raised his hand and took a deep breath on the cigarette holder between his fingers, exhaling a faint smoke, "I hope to solve this war fundamentally than to rush back." ”

The Orlando Empire and the Byron Empire were on a relatively equal footing because of the existence of the Weimar Corridor. It's not easy for you to beat me, and it's not easy for me to beat you, which is the main reason why we have been able to maintain peace for so many years. If the border between the Orlando Empire and the Byron Empire had not had such a natural danger as Salmer on the western front of the empire, the three countries would have been inextricably linked.

This also provided another opportunity for the Orlando Empire, a possibility of peace.

Wren did not want a large-scale national war to break out, because all foreign wars were often an opportunity for the imperial power to reach its peak. Once a large-scale war breaks out, all the nobles will put aside their prejudices and rally tightly around the royal family to resist the invasion from Full Moon and Byron. In such a special time and circumstance, it would be easier for Empress Pars to gain more power and allow her to accomplish all the plans and goals she wished.

This is not good news for Wren, he doesn't want to wait for decades for such reasons, waiting for those nobles to sleep with the royal family again and stand up against the royal family, he can't wait that long. By that time, perhaps all ambitions have been sharpened into indifferent dust and sprinkled all over the ground over the long years.

Erkus had an expression of amazement, and he couldn't help but slap his hands and exclaim: "In the end, it is the Marquis of Rennes, who really has the country in his heart." ”

This sentence was very fake, Wren could hear it, but he didn't expose it, but nodded again with a smile, "This is what I should do as a golden nobleman, it is my responsibility, and it is also my obligation." ”

"And what are you going to do?", Elkus looked curious, "If it's a confidential matter, please don't tell me, I'm just curious." ”

Wren smiled, this guy was a little talkative, "It's not a secret, I plan to negotiate with Emperor Byron, I believe that negotiation is the most convenient way to resolve this crisis, and it is also the most likely to be effective." ”

Yes, that's really Wren's truest thoughts.

In fact, the Byron Empire launched this war of aggression in a bit too haste, and they themselves were not prepared. The Crusade Mission was still raging in the hinterland of the Byron Empire, forcing a large group of people to chase after the Order and eat ashes, and they couldn't catch up, and they couldn't let it go, and the Order had already involved a lot of energy in the Byron Empire. At the same time, the cross-sea landing seems to be a very beautiful combat method, and it is also a very peculiar and advanced tactic in this world, but under the premise that the technology cannot keep up, this kind of cross-sea landing is just an attempt and a joke.

Landing legions that lack supplies will soon find themselves in a difficult situation, they are unfamiliar with the environment, the terrain is not familiar with the terrain, and even a large number of fighters will lose their combat effectiveness due to the problem of water and soil adaptation. Without food or food they are not used to, and lacking the necessary strategic supplies, every battle means that they are one step closer to death.

That's the best bargaining chip, and what is needed now is an opportunity for both sides to sit down and negotiate.

Opportunity can't rely on other people's handouts, and the Byron Empire will not necessarily give such an opportunity, they are still dreaming of invading the Orlando Empire and carving up the Orlando Empire's territory with the full moon, the only way is to slap them hard, wake them up, and make them realize that the outcome of this war is definitely not as good as they imagined.

Only then will they consider whether to sit down at the negotiating table and decide the final course of the war through diplomacy.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to fight, and the other party who wants to fight does not dare to approach the Iron Wall Pass again, or even dare to enter the Weimar corridor, and even fight to the Byron Empire!

The train's destination was Ortlenburg, and after a pause in the capital city of Millin, Joberg stood on the platform like a humble sycophant and waited for Rennes to arrive. According to the rules of the empire, his governor expires this year, and the imperial capital will decide whether he can be re-elected according to his performance during his tenure, or discuss where he will go next, or directly let him go back to the imperial capital to report on his work, and then let him become a rich man with a little position, and mediocre old people die in the imperial capital.

He didn't want to go back, not at all, though his governor's prestige and power in the province of Belle were probably the lowest of all the governors, but he was at ease. Yes, there are many related households with Rennes, and he doesn't dare to provoke them, but in Milin City, because of Renne's support, he is equivalent to a little emperor. In the past, when you wanted to do something, you also had to think about whether it would cause bad effects and bring danger to yourself.

And now, as long as he doesn't provoke Rennes, he can do whatever he wants, and even the clerk doesn't dare to report what he has done to his superiors at will, and he has to discuss it with him.

So he now wants to use Wren's relationship with Empress Pars to find a way to serve another term here.
