Chapter 178: New Allies (2)
After listening to Freya's explanation, Ryan couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand, if he knew what Emilia's actions represented at that time, he would definitely refuse at the first time, and there would not be such an embarrassing situation now, a human has accepted a blood servant?
"More on that later, Amilia, answer my second question first. Ryan pulled out two fingers and continued the previous topic: "Tell me, how do I explain this to others, and how do I convince others of all this? As we work together against the undead, there are undead allies in our camp, and this is still our new ally, and the relationship seems to be very messy......"
In the end, Ryan was confused, but his meaning was also undoubted, it was obvious that Ryan was very worried about Emilia joining, after all, a large number of Blood Clan warriors had chosen to stand on the opposite side of the human race, so how could they ensure that their kind, that is, Emilia and the not-so-strong forces behind her, were trusted by the human race and other allies? Not to mention, as long as Emilia and the others officially appear in the Holy Alliance sequence, the Undead Legion will not seize such an opportunity to spread rumors, and how can ordinary citizens among the human race distinguish whether all this is true or false?
Emilia didn't speak, she turned her gaze to the Elven Queen, and Freya spoke up in time to tell the two of them what they had discussed: "Actually, it's not a problem, Ryan. Because Emilia does not appear in the name of the Holy Alliance, just like the underground dwarf Mirรณ, she and her subordinates will become your personal subordinates, such as the Ryan Mercenary Regiment. โ
"Ah, you mean ......"
"At present, the foundation of the Holy Alliance has actually been shaken, and the dwarves, as one of the pillars, have suffered a devastating blow, and the main force of the alliance, that is, the human race, has had a separatist force, and until now it has not really eliminated that influence. So I had a new idea. When Freya said this, her tone paused slightly, giving Ryan a moment to think, and then continued: "Since this is the case, then it is better to re-form a new covenant, and the Imperial Capital, Mochizuki City, Free Heaven, Cassano, Magic Moon City, and Black Rock City will all become the main body of this new covenant, in this case......"
Before Freya could finish speaking, Ryan interjected, "The Council of Six?"
"Yes. Freya admits this very dryly, explaining to Ryan, "The Holy Alliance 200 years ago was a stopgap measure in itself, and in such an alliance, the human side was too strong to cause this covenant to be in great danger, otherwise we would not have been in retreat for so many years. Hundreds of thousands of years of history have proven the rationality and stability of the six-member council system, and any problem with any ally will not really affect the overall situation, and it is difficult for a particularly strong force to make the ally who was originally on an equal footing become vassals, so I, as the elven queen, propose to re-form a new alliance to fight against the undead legion. โ
Ryan listened to Freya's explanation, but instead of obeying her as before, Ryan fell into deep thought. In fact, Freya's words have been made very clear, the power of the human race itself in the Holy Alliance is too strong, and now the dwarves have suffered unprecedented suffering, and the forces such as Cassano on the human side have risen rapidly, if the alliance is still formed according to the previous structure according to the race, then the sparsely populated elves and dwarves will inevitably become vassals of the covenant, which is of course not in the interests of the elves and dwarves. Therefore, Freya will propose to reorganize the covenant at this delicate moment, and take a certain risk to pull Emilia and other marginal forces into Lane's camp through the necessary means to strengthen the strength of Cassano, because according to Freya's vision, Lane will become another force to contain the human imperial capital, but this also makes Lane and his wife Faras stand on some opposite side, which Lane definitely does not want to see.
Ryan rubbed his faintly swollen head vigorously, and he looked at Freya with a wry smile, not knowing what to say. Maybe it's the world, Ryan and Farath didn't have much time to get together after they got married, and after the undead legion returned to the mainland, there was no contact between them for a very long time, although a certain distance in a short period of time can increase each other's thoughts, but it will also inevitably bring a sense of strangeness, if something happens at this time that causes the other party to misunderstand, it will easily cause trouble, a big kind.
Ryan exhaled fiercely, he knew very well that from the perspective of interests, Freya's proposal was in the interests of Cassano, at least during the period of Cassano's rapid development, Cassano, Mochizuki City and Freedom Paradise and other southern cities already had some kind of tacit understanding, if it weren't for the different relationship between Ryan and the imperial capital, I am afraid that there would have been a large number of sayings similar to "the south is the south of the southerners" that have been circulated, what is the difference between this and what Senate did at the beginning?
"I'm sorry, I know this will make it difficult for you, but ......" Freya carefully organized the wording, she knew very well where Lane's bottom line was, and she also knew very well that no matter how close her relationship with Lane was, Lane would not betray his wife in the imperial capital, if this matter caused Lane's disgust, the latter would definitely not hesitate to leave everything in front of him, and then it would be really troublesome.
"In this way, Emilia can join the Ryan mercenary group and become the deputy leader, with the power to lead the team independently, of course, she can only organize her own forces, and she must not use such means as the first support. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the dark aura, Ryan finally chose a certain degree of compromise, he opened his mouth to accept the blood girl to join, but rejected the proposal to reorganize the Holy Alliance: "The Holy Alliance is based on the human race, Dwarves and elves are the main body, and now there is no one present on behalf of the human capital, so I don't want to talk about this anymore, in short, my opinion is one, the army of the undead is the public enemy of all creatures in this continent, and no matter what we do, we should work hard to defeat it, and nothing else. โ
For Ryan's answer, Freya was slightly disappointed, but this was also expected by her, if Ryan changed himself because of the expansion of power, then Freya would not be desperate to fall in love with this human being, at least from Ryan's answer, the elf queen Freya knew that Ryan was still the pure-hearted young man before, since he would not abandon the imperial capital today, he would not betray Faraz, then he would not abandon the elf in the future, and naturally he would not forget her Freya, which is enough for a woman.
"Well, congratulations, Amilia. Alendor opened his arms and hugged the blood girl warmly, and then said with a smile: "This is the tradition of our Lane Mercenary Regiment, welcome to join." Well, Ryan, do you think we're going to get all the other members together for a meeting? I remember that our mercenary group seems to have been inactive for a long time, and I don't know if it hasn't been written off?"
Ryan burst out laughing, of course he knew that Alendor was deliberately distracting by what he said, and he didn't want him to be affected by Freya's proposal just now, Ryan also asked about the affairs of the mercenary group before leaving for Seke City, he and Alendor both knew very well that this mercenary group, which had only 3 members at the beginning, has now become the largest mercenary group in the mainland, with three legendary powerhouses including Galib, and more than 500 elite members at the level of high-level occupations, Sophie, Bard and so on are all in it. As for the ordinary members, there are almost more than 3,000 people, most of whom are employees of the Chamber of Commerce to which Franner belongs, and his business now spreads almost all over the continent.
Being able to reach this point today, of course, has an inseparable relationship with Ryan's entry into Cassano, and now the Ryan mercenary group directly controls the entire Cassano economy, who let Franner, who controls the economic lifeline of Cassano, put all his industries under the name of the Ryan mercenary group? As for Barbara, Roger and other more powerful assistants were also pulled into the Ryan mercenary group by Alondo, and Vivian and Adela naturally became members of the mercenary group. In addition, Freya had arranged for many elven warriors to join Ryan's mercenary group, and these people still retained their identity until now, and the warriors they trained, that is, the most elite members of Cassano's three elite legions, were naturally attracted to join this organization. A few years ago, Ryan planted a small seed with his own hands, and now that seed has grown into a towering tree with the help of everyone, and it has become quite leafy.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about this later, I'll talk about what I saw last night, and then we'll look at how to deal with the undead legion's sneak attack on the dwarven Blackstone City, and how to send an effective rescue to the dwarven king Reynolds. Ryan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit around the round table in the council room, he drank a large glass of water brought by Vivien, cleared his throat, pointed to the map on the round table and said, "At dawn today, I probably found the undead team in this location, and I found ......"
