Chapter 148: Alliance Seminar (2)
The best way to convince others of your lies is to mix your love of painting with the truth.
Putting aside their father, who had already entered a state of bewilderment, the three sisters talked to themselves about the so-called alliance talks.
First, Alice's Chicken Soup for the Soul.
The political status quo of the Terrence Empire is a fact, it is even worse than the late Qing Dynasty, according to the history lessons learned in junior high school history class, Alice believes that this taking jujube pills, being broken through the borders by the coalition forces of N countries, signing various treaties of loss of power and humiliating the country, and staging a national tragedy is just around the corner.
Butβthis doesn't really have much to do with Celia, and I believe that no foreigner would have the leisure to deliberately cross the treacherous demon realm of the Fa Rilabis Mountains to attack this small peasant town that doesn't. And Lutga did not wantonly inflict tyranny on the people like the great nobles around the imperial capital.
In other words, as long as you don't hear anything outside the window, you can be alone. So, the reason why Alice came to have a whim to form an alliance was because of a trip to [Regeria].
For her, it was like reading Weibo in her previous life and seeing all kinds of unpleasant news. For example, bullying at school, beating one by one and forcibly stripping them naked and taking videos, their own children fighting over real estate and beating the elderly to kick them out of their homes, brutal men abusing and killing wild cats and roasting them to death with spray guns, and so on...... If such a thing of losing conscience happens in front of you, and you don't do chivalrous righteousness, how can you be worthy of the chivalrous heart of a person who practices martial arts!
Well, at the end of the day, she's just doing it for childish self-satisfaction.
Secondly, Arisel's scientific research report.
The natural environment of the empire was constantly deteriorating, and there was a scientific basis for this. After some research and analysis of the concept of sealing the magic dragon, that is, the 'illusory world' mentioned by Laqi, it was found that the space of this country is in an increasingly unstable and dangerous situation, and the frequent occurrence of demonic beasts is indeed caused by this, such as the foot of the dragon's lair, the demon realm that was hunted by himself.
By the way, as for the term 'Demon World', it's just a metaphor borrowed from Alice's biased comic book knowledge, after all, in normal times, the eldest sister Alice instilled many strange stories with flaws in the two sisters in order to explain the so-called concept of 'crossing over'. Although Aliezer herself can't understand it, it seems that for the people who live in this world, it is more common sense concepts in Alice's story than rigorous and realistic research reports, which are more understandable.
However, it didn't have much of an impact on the surrounding area of Silia, and after the seal of Raghi was lifted, the surrounding spatial conditions stabilized with the Fa Rilabis Mountains as the center. How it works...... Unfortunately, no one but Alize herself could understand.
In short, even putting aside the difficult theory of quantum mechanics, the existence of Laqi is enough to make Celia carefree, and don't underestimate the effect of "Longwei". The dragon clan standing at the apex of the creature, even if it is just basking in the sun and sleeping lazy, can also play a role in intimidating and warning all the weak demonic beasts within a radius of dozens of kilometers around.
The implication is that as long as he hides in the city and ignores the tragic scenery around him, then Celestia will soon break away from the magical worldview of the Middle Ages and develop into a kind of sci-fi futuristic city.
If she were to be asked what she thought of the plight of the poor and the current state of the Empire, she was not very interested. After all, she is a scholar who is loyal to herself, and she does not have the noble sentiment of worrying about the country and the people. At best, she can only fulfill her sister's wish by the way on the premise of satisfying her curiosity and desire to create.
Finally, Sophia's policy program.
Now, Sophia no longer makes any statement about the rationality of the tactical level, because her personal approval or disapproval is meaningless, and Alice has pushed the situation to a point of no return from the very beginning.
So, how to find the most efficient way to deploy in the current situation has become a job that she has to complete. To put it bluntly, it's to wipe her ass for her sister's whims.
However, Sophia didn't really object to her sister's approach, after all, what she heard and saw in [Enoses] also made her feel very uncomfortable.
At the slightest opportunity, it can be crushed in the turmoil called 'revolution'. However, Sophia did not want her relatives to be the trigger for this revolution. Because according to his many years of experience in the battlefield, no matter what the outcome of the struggle is and how society evolves, the culprit who initiated the revolution at the beginning is often burned by the fire he bought, and he does not have the opportunity to see the fruitful fruits of his own sowing.
Although mobilizing overall politics and macro strategy is not her forte, but at this point, she can only bite the bullet and do her best to lay out a well-thought-out plan so that her sister Alice's whims can develop in a good direction.
"Look at the parchment in your hand, which lists the details of the plan and some data materials. β
Waiting for the maids to distribute the parchment to everyone, Sophia continued: "In terms of assigning troops for defense, my father hopes that all the lords here, as well as representatives of other organizations, can hand over their territorial private soldiers, or combat units, to us for overall management and combat training before participating in the distribution of battles. β
According to the laws of the Empire, the private soldiers of the territory must of course be managed by the lord. Even if it's an alliance, you can't deprive us of our troops at will! As for the defense of our own city, please trust us to do it ourselves! Don't bother!"
Unexpectedly, some nobles immediately jumped up and said in disagreement, and he did not say this to Sophia, but directly in the direction of the lord who had been sitting upright from the beginning, with a solemn face, Count Lutga.
One after another, the scene soon boiled. The vast majority of lords, as well as representatives of the mercenary group, expressed dissatisfaction and difficulty in accepting this. After all, this is a bare demand for the surrender of military power, not to mention that it was a delicate girl who said this at the age of eight, and everyone naturally couldn't have a sense of trust. However, there are also those who are silent, such as the lords of [Aitania] and [Rededia], as well as representatives of the Adventurers' Guild and the Mage's Guild.
This is the difference between whether or not they have witnessed the power of the three sisters. Those who were silent knew that a mere thousand soldiers, no matter how well-equipped, would be on par with the herd of fifty or sixty C-rank demonic beasts, and they could not be compared to the three monsters in front of them wearing little girls' skins. If you can take advantage of this to obtain information on Silya's armaments and training methods, it will only be beneficial to the lords everywhere.
In this regard, Count Lutga did not express any opinion on this, and continued to preside over the topic with Sophia, the youngest daughter with two playful ponytails and a cold face, to calm everyone's emotions, "Everyone, please be calm, please take a look at the parchment of the equipment of our Silian soldiers. β
"[Luna Armor]...... That's ......"
Will, the lord of [Regedia], narrowed his eyes under the lenses of his glasses and muttered to himself meaningfully.
"No, I believe Earl Will, and Mr. Anderson's Guild Representative, are no strangers to this suit of armor. This is a single soldier equipment developed by Celia alone, which can not only exert the defensive performance of the heavy armor knight or above, but also improve the physical ability of the soldier to a strength that is enough to compete with B+ level monsters head-on. β
"What, what!?"
Compared to the lords and nobles who were not very familiar with the danger classification of Warcraft, the representative of the mercenary group was immediately dumbfounded by this statement, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense! B+-level Warcraft are all dangerous wurms that can easily destroy a town of your size! Even a mid-level warrior who has mastered the number of fighting spirits must be equipped with sophisticated equipment and bring dozens of experienced brothers to barely fight monsters!"
The mercenary is an expert in combat, and he has a lot of experience in judging the combat power of Warcraft, and at the same time, as a representative, he has outstanding strength and has also met many strong people, which is why he reacts violently to Sophia's words.
"You probably don't know...... Two days ago, ...... the [Carlricht] Warcraft rampage in the jungle?"
The representative of the Adventurers' Guild interrupted the mercenary's speech in a deep voice.
"Of course I do!"
"Then you should also know that on the outskirts of [Regeria] in the north, the total number of demonic beasts that have been overwhelmingly attacked is at least between five thousand and six thousand. Although the danger level is not high, there are many of them, and if the combat power is converted to B+ level, it can be up to seventy or eighty heads. β
"Well, so what!"
"At that time, there were only forty knights wearing this kind of armor who were facing the Warcraft Beasts in the suburbs. β
"Hah......!?How is that possible!?"
The words that completely shattered the worldview made the men of the mercenary group jump from their chairs.
"Count Will, you know this better than anyone else. After all, it's ...... seen with your own eyes."
On the other side of the line of sight, the Lord of [Regedia], that is, the Earl of Will, nodded silently: "That's right, the knights of Celestia have incredible strength, and the power of this armor is unheard of...... If the soldiers of my territory were to be managed and trained by them, and they could achieve such a level of combat power, then I would be happy. β
Benjue agreed. β
Following in the footsteps of Count Will, the most unexpected character, the lord of [Eitania], also agreed, you know, not long ago [Eitania] was still an entertainment city with a large number of slaves and prostitutes of the orcs to make profits. Originally, he would be there today to respond to the call of the Alliance, and it was already the sun coming out of the west. But then, this nobleman, who was more than half a hundred years old, used his own words to solve everyone's doubts, "A few days ago, my daughter was kidnapped by foreign human traffickers in [Regerdia], fortunately Miss Alice rescued regardless of her previous suspicions, and Miss Alize, who was able to save my Lingcheng in a crisis, to the two of them...... Ben was grateful. Other than that...... And Count Lutga, oh no, I should say the Lord of the Alliance...... Please forgive me for the previous offense...... Benjue may not dare to say that it has changed its face, but he is also determined to do his part for the territory left by his ancestors, and let's change this empire together......
As a result, once there was a leader, the atmosphere present changed in an instant.
