Section 441 Planning for the future
The position of the seventh princess in Vanna is very embarrassing, although she is superhuman in wisdom and has a heavy army, but it is precisely because of this that she is deeply suspicious of King Vanna and the second prince of the first line of succession. The expedition to Kasia, which fell short at the last moment, can be said to be entirely the result of this gathering. In the later battle of the orcs, the Seven Princesses were almost given to the orcs as a gift by the king's faction.
I remember that after being rescued by me, she once said to me in a miserable way that it was time for enlightenment. However, in the face of her begging mother, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she still couldn't take this last step after all! The cruel reality once again taught the Seventh Princess a heavy lesson. The butcher's knife raised by the king and the Holy See at her made her finally realize one thing completely - on the throne of royal power, there are no flowers, only blood!
It was a nightmare night that the Seven Princesses will never forget, she and her most respected swordsmanship teacher, the Wind Sword Saint Ricardo, were ordered to enter the palace together, but outside the king's bedroom, they were attacked by a large number of masters, first a surprise cold arrow, Ricciardo was shot and wounded, and then an endless number of men in black appeared, and carried out a crazy siege on the two people.
Ricardo was the focus of this siege, and under Bata's constant sneak attacks with the artifact Silver Moon Bow, he was quickly cut down to the ground, and although the Seven Princesses themselves were good, they were too young to be captured alive in just a few rounds.
Then the Archbishop of Vanna stood up and persuaded the princess to surrender, and told him the whole plan. And promised that after the deed is completed, she will be raised to become the Empress of Vana, and Kasia will be given to Vanna!
After years of conquest, the Seventh Princess has been able to develop the temperament of not being alarmed. After carefully studying the situation before her, she certainly saw that the Holy See's trick was coming. It's true to ask her to kill Long Qingtian, but it's definitely fake to call her Empress Vana, otherwise how would she kill Rika?
As for the purpose of the Holy See, the Seventh Princess knew it very well. If they can kill Long Qingtian, the Holy See will earn it, and when the time comes, they may release the Seventh Princess, so that she and the Han can fight to the death, or they may be afraid that the Seventh Princess will retaliate against the Holy See for the sake of Ricardo, so they will directly kill the Seventh Princess, anyway, there will be no Long Qingtian. Vanna's life or death doesn't matter. If he hadn't been able to kill Long Qingtian, the Holy See would definitely have killed the Seventh Princess and then blamed the Great Han.
In terms of the prestige of the Seven Princesses, the Vana army will definitely seek revenge on Long Qingtian. This created a big problem for the Cult of Nature to enter Vanna, and also avoided the unfavorable situation of the Seven Princesses being used by me. After all, if a peerless general like Valkyrie can't be used by the Holy See, killing it is undoubtedly the best choice. This plan of the Holy See can really be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and it will not succeed in taking advantage.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, the Seven Princesses decided that there was one thing, that is, with the current power of Vana, it was absolutely impossible for them to be the opponent of the Great Han, Kasia, Boraz, or even the Beast Alliance. Kasia's naval blockade could completely cut off Vana's supplies, and Mei'er's military talent was no less than her, and the strength of the Dragon Legion and the Blue Dragon Rider was also recognized by the world. And Long Qingtian's prestige is there, once he dies, how crazy the revenge of his subordinates can be, who can imagine? Once this battle is lost, the entire Vana will definitely be turned into a scorched earth.
Under such circumstances, the Seventh Princess finally made the decision to sacrifice herself to save me. Such a heroic decision. That's why she happily agreed to the Holy See's request on the surface and promised to cooperate fully. Of course, in order to reassure the Holy See, she had to eat the poison given to her by the Holy See, and was also cursed by the Holy See's people, and since she never saw King Vanna appear, the Seventh Princess had completely lost her heart to her father.
The rest of the story has been made clear, in order to protect Vanna's people from the revenge of powerful surrounding forces such as the Han Dynasty, the princess finally chose to protect me with death, and, in order to prevent the Holy See's conspiracy to sow discord succeeded, she also left the letter to her subordinates, the meaning is obvious, Vanna is the time to perish.
However, it just so happened that Poor Dao relied on the magic of Jin Dan to relieve all the threats of the Seventh Princess in one fell swoop, and now she is not only alive and well, but also her strength has changed by leaps and bounds, presumably these are not the Tao that the Holy See can imagine!
"Things are really tortuous, the Holy See is really worthy of being an expert in playing conspiracy, such a strange plan has come up with it, it is really convincing him!" Poor Dao said disdainfully: "It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven! They are too naΓ―ve, do they think that they can really shoot me to death with this sneak attack?" Since we were talking about confidential matters, Elena had already consciously gone out to guard the door, and we two old acquaintances were talking, and everyone was a little less restrained.
"Hehe, general, don't underestimate them!" The seventh princess smiled: "When you fought with the demon sword, the fact that you were wearing high-grade inner armor was guessed by others, in fact, the trump card of the Holy See's assassination this time is here!" As she spoke, the seventh princess took out a scroll from the space ring on her hand and shook it at me.
It was a strange scroll, without any magic fluctuations, and the divine sense only detected that there was a powerful and strange energy in it, I really don't know what it was, but it was familiar, Poor Dao suddenly remembered, and also took out a similar one from his ring, and said with a wry smile: "Time stands still in the Great Prophecy?" The scroll in my hand was knocked from the Pope after I destroyed the Papal Palace.
"Yes, I didn't expect it!" the Seventh Princess said with a smile, "Ebata's ability to shoot through the general's head in a few seconds when time stands still is too easy. You can even save the Demon Blood Soul Chasing Arrow!"
"Hehe!" Poor Dao smiled bitterly, "Pope, this old bastard, he really has enough bad moves, but I'm curious, how can Bata shoot so accurately through the wall?"
"He has several observers, and he can see you from several places outside to watch your every move, and he keeps gesturing to Bata, and there is obviously a tacit cooperation between them. Because after a few glances, Bata will be able to know your position and movements well. Isn't it time to shoot as much as you want?" the Seventh Princess explained, "These are the conclusions I observed when we rehearsed in advance. I heard that this was Bata's proud invention, and it was through this that he made many great contributions to the Holy See, and was finally promoted to the position of deputy commander. β
"Talent!" said with emotion: "Compared with him, we are not professional!"
"Hehe, Bata has thought it through very well this time, he has calculated all your possible reactions, he himself is ambushed on the high ground outside the town, so it is difficult for you to turn around and run even if you dig out the ambush. With the Silver Moon Bow Breaking Method, it is useless for you to be protected by the magic wall of the Earth Bear, and with the Demon Blood Soul Chasing Arrow, even if it shoots your limbs, it can kill you. The Seventh Princess smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, with his archery skills that can easily shoot ants from 300 meters away, I don't even have confidence in whether you can avoid this assassination!"
"Hehe, fortunately, I am lucky in the world, and I am really grateful to have a princess to rescue me!" said with a smile. To tell the truth, the chances of success of this assassination by the Holy See are amazing, if it weren't for the temporary defection of the Seventh Princess, I'm afraid my body would really not be able to be saved. No matter how big Elena is, it's unlikely that she will demobilize her rotten watermelon-like head!
"The general doesn't have to be polite!" The seventh princess smiled: "I'm also forced to do it, hmph, the seventh princess is not a person who is at the mercy of others?" This shows that the Valkyrie is very angry, and the consequences are very serious! It is estimated that once this lion, who has completely broken free from the shackles, sets foot on the land of Vanna again, it will immediately set off a bloody storm!
"By the way, can you know how the princess came in?" Seeing that her face was not good, Poor Dao hurriedly changed the topic and asked the doubts I had hidden in my heart for a long time, in fact, for this assassination, the most important thing I am about is not that the Holy See took the Seventh Princess to make a move, but why is the location here?
You must know that the Seventh Princess and they came here from Vanna, and they had to pass through the defense area of the White Tiger Legion and the defense area of the Royal Guard. The national mobilization order has not yet been lifted. The tense atmosphere is just a little relaxed, in the two war zones, it can be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, especially near the royal capital, where the safety of Kyoto is in danger, and the defense is particularly tight, how did the seven princesses and her party come here?
At least I'm not breaking it up, in this particular time of war, deserters are being caught everywhere, and men in the prime of life will be suspected as long as they walk on the road, and once one is caught, they must all be brought out? So, I very much doubt that someone helped them.
"We all came all the way by a token from Bata!" the Seventh Princess glanced at me and said softly, "Although I don't know the internal secrets of the Great Han. However, in my guess, it should be the pass token that the king of Dahan is qualified to issue. β
Poor Dao's face suddenly turned cold, how many years have the seven princesses been plotting against the Great Han? Can you not know some things inside the Great Han? Besides, such tokens are available in all countries, but the styles are different. I thought it was the Ishihara family who was making a ghost, but I didn't expect the idiot king to be involved, hmph, I really don't know whether to live or die.
"I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. Poor Dao sneered: "Since the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, then I am no wonder!"
"Hey!" the seventh princess also sighed, the two of us can be regarded as sympathetic.
"By the way, what are the princess's plans for the future?" asked Poor Dao casually, putting aside these worries.
"Me?" the seventh princess was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "I wonder if the general plans to unify the continent in the future and ascend the throne?"
"I'm not interested!" said disdainfully: "The throne is just a fart in my eyes!"
"Is the general serious?" the seventh princess blushed at my foul words, but she was a little more surprised.
"Of course, I am in such a family, and I have no way to embark on the road of conquest, in fact, I prefer to live like idle clouds and wild cranes!"
"That's good, Vana has finally been saved!" The Seventh Princess's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said arrogantly: "After I go back, I will immediately set myself up as the king, since the corrupt Vana nobles are unwilling to accept my gentle transformation, then I have to give them a chance to be reborn!"
"Hehe, then I'll see Her Majesty first!" said Poor Dao teased.
"The general said with a smile!" The Seventh Princess blushed, and then said with a straight face: "Now that the mainland has formed a situation of East and West competing for power, although the Holy See has suffered successive defeats and suffered heavy losses. But after all, with a strong foundation and the support of the Heavenly Realm, it is not easy to destroy them, I wonder how the general plans to deal with it?"
"Inside, I will do my best to develop the Cult of Natural Deity, and I will not hesitate to use iron-blooded means, and within two years, I will make it cover all the human settlements of the entire western continent in one fell swoop. At the same time, I will unite various human countries, repair trade, and make full friendly contacts with the Orc Empire, the Elven Kingdom and other alien races, and unite their forces against the Holy See and the Heavenly Realm. Outside, I will add some trouble to the Holy See's holy war army, and make sure that they will consume as much strength as possible, and finally forcibly occupy the Wa Island, so that the Holy See will work hard in vain! At the same time, I will spare no effort to stir up contradictions between the three major empires and the Holy See, so that they will deviate from morality and harbor their own evil intentions. Poor Dao then smiled and asked, "Princess, see if there is anything missing?"
"The general's deployment plan is good, but it may be difficult to implement it concretely!" The seventh princess asked unceremoniously: "Just now, how do you plan to deal with the Han royal family?
"Hehe, now that the Han royal family has heavy troops, the key is that there are still many supporters, even my family is opposing my rebellion, once it breaks out, it is likely to be a civil war, and the Holy See will be cheapened for nothing, so it is inappropriate to openly pull him off the horse now!" Poor Dao immediately sneered: "However, fortunately, I still know a trick, which is called 'Narrow Heavenly Son to Order the Princes'!"
"The Son of Heaven is the order of the princes?" The Seventh Princess's eyes lit up, and she said: "It's really clever, why didn't I think of it? As long as the real power is in hand, whatever you do can play the banner of the king, isn't it justifiable? Moreover, this situation only needs to be maintained for decades." I'm afraid we won't have to worry about anything. The guy who can be taken care of by us should have been eliminated a long time ago, right?"
"Hehe!" Poor Dao smiled and nodded: "In fact, you don't have to be like this, you have pure royal blood, and there are many people who support you, just ascend the throne yourself!"
"Otherwise!" the Seventh Princess smiled bitterly: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and our Carter's royal tradition may be affected by endless wars, and it is more patriarchal." Even if the king has no son, the heir is chosen from among the nephews, and the princess will not be allowed to be the princess, and I went back this time, originally planning to ascend the throne by provoking a civil war. But I've listened to you and been inspired, what should I do now?"
"Hehe, it's simple, how old can you find a child to ascend the throne and become the princess of the prison country yourself, won't everything be solved?" said with a smile. Although these are not rare on earth, they are still relatively advanced ideas here!
"Ah, yes, my second brother has a son who is only one year old!" the seventh princess smiled, "I think he is the most suitable candidate to be the king of Vana!"
"That's right!" said Poor Dao with a smile.
"Then there is one more thing that needs to be solved!" The seventh princess blushed, but pretended to be serious: "Your Excellency General, how to solve the matter of you taking advantage of others?"
"I!I~" Poor Dao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly quibbled: "It's in a hurry, even you say you don't care!"
"Hey, fool!" The Seventh Princess scolded helplessly: "I have completely offended the Holy See this time, and I have a very unpleasant quarrel with Kasia, and the White Tiger Legion stationed on the border of Vana by the Han Dynasty does not seem to be very friendly to me." I'm a person who annoys my neighbors. The large amount of food that Kovana needs to import has to be bought from its neighbors, so do you think I should improve relations?"
"As long as I say a word, your things will not be missing!" Poor Dao hurriedly said.
"This is different, on our side, there will only be three countries in the future, Dahan, Kasia and Vanna, if I want to completely integrate into this ***, I can only choose one way, that is, the one chosen by Princess Helen, if it were my man, I would not hesitate to dedicate my suitable blood relatives to you, but now, I don't have a suitable one, and the most suitable one can only be myself!" The seventh princess blushed and said: "We all have no choice!
"Of course not!" Poor Dao hurriedly said: "No one dares to force you, don't worry, the cooperation between the three countries under my auspices will definitely be a bowl of water!"
"But will your subordinates do the same?" said the seventh princess, "You and Helen are husband and wife, so your people help her to fight from all over the world, and they also shoot prey from me, what price do you sell her weapons?" This is still before, if in the future, when the three kingdoms are united, because of your relationship, on many occasions, there will be a situation in which Kasia and the Han will unite to suppress us. You should know that, huh?"
"This!" The Seventh Princess is right, when the three countries are united, it is inevitable that there will be disputes over the distribution of interests, and at this time, because of my relationship with Helen, the people of the Han Dynasty naturally feel that they are closer to Kasia, and it is almost certain to unite to suppress Vanna. Occasionally, it naturally doesn't matter, but if it is a few decades, Wanak will lose too much, and there is even a danger of being wiped out at any time, which is why the seventh princess is so nervous.
"You said you wanted a bowl of water, do you want to go back on your word now?" the seventh princess said with a red face: "Helen may not be stronger than me, right?"
"This, she and I are husband and wife in name!" said with a wry smile: "It's just a name." β
"If you want to be serious with me, I won't object!" The seventh princess lowered her head, her fingers kept twisting each other, and whispered shyly: "I actually have you in my heart for a long time!"
