Chapter Ninety-Six: Negotiations
"Alva, the Thief Guild of Mochizuki City, pays a visit to Lord Sennat." A man of about thirty years of age, with a shrewd and capable face, bent his waist deeply, and on the high throne opposite him sat none other than Senate, who was fighting against the Empire.
Senat with a slender body can no longer find the slightest color on his face, after raising troops to announce his departure from the imperial rule, Senat and the other seven small lords who declared independence together united to form an alliance, and now Senat is equivalent to the supreme emperor in this so-called alliance sphere of influence, not to mention what he has to endure again, now no matter what he wants to do, he only needs to show a little, and naturally someone will do it properly for him.
"No need to be polite!" Senat replied with a wave of his hand. Although Senat dreamed of restoring his ancestor Morlor Empire, his current strength was not strong enough to control the situation of the entire continent, so he had to continue to endure it, which is why he only formed an alliance with his vassals and did not establish a new country, so his current identity is still just a lord, a lord who has broken away from the rule of the empire.
"This time, on behalf of our six-member council of Mochizuki City, I am here for peace. Ignoring the dozens of guards armed with sharp swords on both sides, Avar spoke eloquently to Senat: "I have brought the friendship of the Council of Six and prepared a rich gift, and I believe that the future of the southern part of the continent will be written by Mochizuki City and Seke City together." ”
"Hmph, this is just a small trick for you to deceive your lord. Senat did not speak, but a man standing beside him stepped forward and said loudly, "What peace, friendship? You are simply trying to curry favor with both sides, and you may even plan to unite with the imperial capital against us." If you really mean that you are ready to ally with us, then why do you want to send an exchange group to the imperial capital?"
"Who is this lord?" asked Avar, with an unchanged face.
"Heyman, a loyal servant of your lordship. ”
"Oh, so you're one of Lord Senate's four most capable subordinates, Mr. Heyman, who is good at government affairs. Avar looked the other man up and down, and said, "You look so much younger than I thought, no wonder I didn't recognize you at first sight." ”
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, how do you explain it?"
Avar knew that Sennat had four of his most powerful assistants, and according to the information collected by the Mochizuki City Thieves' Guild, one was responsible for protecting Sennat's security, one was responsible for intelligence gathering and assassinating enemies, one was in command of the army, and the other was Heyman, who was good at handling government affairs.
If you want to convince Senat, you must first convince Hayman, how could Avar not know before he came? He said this just to buy himself time to think about the wording, and Hayman also knew this, and did not give Arvaldo this opportunity at all, and urged again and again.
"It's not as simple as it seems. Avar said, "There has always been a battle between the magicians of Mochizuki City and the magicians of the Imperial Capital, such as the magic exchange students between the two magic academies. However, in the last few encounters, we have been at the bottom of the list, not only in the high-end magic field, but also those low-level magicians. ”
and Senate glanced at each other, they had already understood what happened to Ryan in Mochizuki City through the scouts, and naturally understood what Avar meant by what he said, as for that high-end magic field, it was nothing more than Victor's forbidden spell magic "Thor's Fury".
"In this case, if we don't fight back, it will inevitably greatly weaken our morale, and more importantly, it will make us lose confidence in the future of Mochizuki City's magical realm. Therefore, Master Blair personally led the team to form this exchange group, just to save a little face. ”
"Hmph, have you ever fought 'Thor's Wrath'?" Hayman said softly sarcastically, but Avar listened unheard, and continued: "Since it is an exchange, of course the two sides will not fight to the death, we have concentrated the superior forces of Mochizuki City this time, in order to win more than few! Who else is the magician of the imperial capital besides Victor?" There are a few people in the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, that is, Minsk, who are still a little strong, but this time we have dispatched 11 magic masters, 3 grand magic masters, and a number of senior magic masters, I don't believe that the imperial capital can resist such a strong lineup. ”
"Well, even if you make sense, how is the friendship of Mochizuki City expressed?" Senat said softly, "Let's get straight to the point, I'm listening." ”
"It's very simple, first, please let go. This time, our goal is the imperial capital, which is consistent with you, my lord, and there is no need for unnecessary internal friction between our various cities in the south. Second, we have prepared a generous gift, hoping to sign a non-aggression pact with you, and as long as you do not take the initiative to attack Mochizuki Castle and the surrounding territories, then we will be the most loyal allies in the rear of your lordship. ”
Senat did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought, and the whole hall immediately fell into silence, and after a long time, Senat spoke: "You will not just use a little gift to divert our spearhead, will you? ”
"Haha, I think the adults must have misunderstood. Avar was told by Senat about the true purpose of Mochizuki City, but he laughed out loud, and Hyman shouted angrily, "Damn, you actually laugh at your lords, but you want to try the power of the Lord's Guards?"
"No, I'm just laughing at the fact that the Lord knowingly asked. Avar shook his head and said, "If the adults must storm Mochizuki City, it is not impossible, but the adults must be sure that they can attack it? Although Mochizuki City does not have the 'Wrath of the Thunder God', it also has the wrath of the magicians! Once the adult's attack is frustrated, will the imperial capital still give the adult a chance to recover his vitality? I am afraid that the adult will lose his current advantage at that time." ”
"You have magicians, don't we have them?" Heyman asked rhetorically, and Avar replied next, "I absolutely believe that there are capable magicians under your hands, but what about the number? The only one who can form an army of magicians on the entire continent is us Mochizuki City, and these magicians are the accumulation of the magic cultivation system that we have built in Mochizuki City for three thousand years. ”
Senat is actually facing an embarrassing situation, he now looks infinite on the surface, but in fact it is not the case, in Senat's original expansion plan, to the east to seize the sea breeze city at the mouth of the sea, to the south to annex the free heaven, as a result of these two actions failed, if Senat and the southwest of Mochizuki City alliance non-aggression, then he can really only go north to the imperial capital, this must be unwise.
