Chapter 345: Infighting
"You see, these guys won't be loyal to me at all, they're just driven by profit on my side!" Ticillis sat in her private study, facing Ryan and Faras and said, "Ryan, you know best, tonight's gambling game, let them be exposed in front of you, these mercenary guys, it's disgusting!"
Ryan and Faras sat across from Theselis, and Faras had already learned about the gambling match at tonight's banquet from Theseiris, and she comforted Theselis, saying, "Actually, this is normal, since they are not really loyal to you, then most of them are not really loyal to your sister, and from this point of view, the two of you are still on the same starting line."
"No, as long as these families don't turn against me in a real and complete way, then the situation will definitely be against me. Tixilis said with a wry smile: "Actually, at the beginning, so many of our sisters were divided into various places, and I was not favored by anyone, of course, at that time, I was just a small lord, and in the entire eastern region, there were at least a dozen sisters like me. I'm still a little lucky, since I was a child, Sadurilna has always been my mother's favorite daughter, and if I had been with her in the West, I would not have been able to resist her invasion no matter how much I tried. β
Remembering the bleak experience, Tisyris slowly said to Ryan and Faraz, "No one thinks of me, and I have only a few loyal servants around me, Alexno, Dinein, Ryaud, Zaknavan and a few others. Together, we slowly plotted against other competitors, expanding our territory step by step, and after going through a lot of things, I eventually became the master of the entire eastern region, but the original 13 servants finally survived to the present, only 4 of them, so they are the ones I trust the most in this fortress. β
"I still don't understand why Zaknavan betrayed me, but maybe he wasn't really loyal to me from the beginning. Ticylis said, " I have been thinking back to the original experience over and over again in the past few days, and I suspect that Zaknavan was specially arranged by my sister, of course, I should not have been so honored to receive such treatment, so I estimate that all our sisters have chess pieces arranged by her, but in the end, I am the only one who has become her opponent, and Zaknavan has also played the biggest role, if it wasn't for Mr. Galib who invited me to the growth of all things, then my sister should have eliminated all the opponents. β
"Why do I take the risk of dealing with the other sister, knowing that there is some risk to it? Because I know very well that my sister will have a real advantage because of my mother's preference, even if they are outwardly evenly matched, I have to take the risk of eradicating the other sister, and then take the opportunity to accept her power, which will cause the miscalculations of the wall-to-wall grass to converge on me. Although this is only a superficial situation, and does not fully represent the real strength, it can allow me to take advantage of the situation. Ticillis smiled at this, changed the subject and continued, "Well, now there is no need to worry about these things, because with your help, I already have the strength to truly compete with Shadurella. Ryan, Fani, this time Divog not only brought the order for me to send troops to quell the commotion in the submarine plains, but also brought a secret letter from Her Majesty the Empress, my sister seems to have taken it anymore, the time of the New Year's sacrifice has been confirmed, after the New Year's sacrifice, there will be a grand battle of life and death, and the winner will become the next Empress of the Empire. β
"Oh?" Ryan and Faras, who heard the news, were in good spirits, and they looked at each other, and then Ryan asked, "How long do we have left?"
"5 months. Ticylis replied, "Except for the half month of traveling with the teleportation magic array, we still have five months. β
"And what about the thing about you quelling the riots under the sea?" Faras suddenly thought of the key point, and asked as well.
"Well, that's my mother's eccentricity. With a look of disdain on her face, Tixilis explained: "In a secret letter written by herself, Her Majesty the Supreme Empress asked me to quell the entire riot within five months, and then rush to the imperial capital to attend the New Year's sacrifice with the good news. β
Faras immediately guessed the Empress's intentions, and she spoke, "That is, if the submarine plain did not return to its original order when the New Year's sacrifice began......"
"It's very simple, I will automatically lose the last power!" Tixilis replied with a sneer: "Five months is not short, but it is not long, without using the main forces in the eastern region, as long as those rebels organize and circle with us, then this riot will not really be quelled." If you think about it with the tail fin, you can know that Shadurellna can drag me to the bottom of the sea plain with a little effort, hehe!"
"And what are you going to do?" Ryan asked, "We can't be led by others, can we?"
"Naturally, we can't be led away!" Tixilis's voice gradually became indifferent: "I can do the same thing that the Concubine Lingcui family did in the past, but I won't be so ruthless, I will issue a law to divide the entire submarine plain into several areas, but give them a certain amount of time to quell the riot on their own." If we fail to do so after this time limit is reached, my army will be mobilized to turn it into ruins again!"
Ryan opened his mouth, wanting to oppose Tisilis's barbaric and bloody plan, but in the end he still didn't make any sound, he is not a holy knight with absolute justice in his heart, naturally he will not oppose Tisilis's plan on the grounds of so-called non-slaughter of civilians, when Shadurilna's soldiers are under the sea wind city, if it is not for the human army to fight hard, then it is the civilians of the land world who are slaughtered.
Moreover, the purpose of Lane's trip is to resolve the clouds of war hanging over the land world, if Tyrielis does not quickly get rid of the current crisis, then the power of the Naga Empire in the underwater world will most likely transition peacefully, and when Shadurilna successfully ascends to the throne, the next unlucky ones are most likely to be Lane's relatives and friends, just for this alone, Lane will not make childish moves, not to mention that although Ticialis's plan is violent, it will take some time to implement, if you can come up with a way to get the best of both worlds before then, it may not be impossible to save the lives of those innocent civilians in the submarine plainγ
ββββββ*ββββββ*ββββββ "Bastard!" Ogoros smashed a set of crystal artworks to the ground, a set of 50 million crafts completed by the most famous carver in the history of the Naga Empire, and in this way, it was reduced to countless pieces. After breaking the gift that Ticilis had given him in return, Ogoros's anger seemed to be vented a little, and he stared at his little son standing in front of him with angry eyes, and wanted to strangle him to death, but in the end Ogoros restrained his temper, and he commanded: "Prepare it for me at once, and set off tomorrow immediately, and go to the west overnight......"
"Father!" retorted Ogoros's youngest son, Kurodut, with some dissatisfaction, "why do you have to go to the west, isn't it just what they want when the woman sent by that bastard has cheated us, and we still have to send it to the door......?"
"Shut up!" Ogoros's roar not only interrupted his youngest son's defense, but even spread directly to the courtyard outside the study, making the servants who were themselves cautious become frightened, they knew that their master would have a great temper when he came back tonight, but they did not expect him to be so angry, if possible, these servants naturally wanted to hide far away, but unfortunately they did not dare to leave without permission, so everyone was terrified, lest they become the unlucky bastard of the head of the family to vent his anger.
"What do you know!" Ogoros scolded loudly, "Teclius, that woman has always been good at scheming, she was only a humble little lord at the beginning, but now she has defeated many competitors and become the master of the entire eastern region. β
"Then since she has this strength, it's not too late for us to turn to her!" Kulodut interjected.
"Shut up! I'll strangle you if you talk again!" Ogoros's eyes were about to bulge, and his expression was so terrifying that Kurodut closed his mouth tightly, and Ogoros picked up his favorite crystal ornament on the table, and once again turned it into pieces, and then said: "If we Obiduch family want to stand forever, we must always follow Her Majesty the Empress." Although Ticilis is very strong, she is not the heir in the eyes of Her Majesty the Empress, otherwise how could she not even have a legendary powerhouse by her side, this time it is rumored that she is unwell, in fact, it is simply ......"
Speaking of this, Ogoros lowered his voice and said: "Actually, she was injured by Shadurilna's subordinates, and then died in the world, I originally thought that she would die this time, who knew that she would come back with her life, and she also met a legendary powerhouse of the Tieflin people by accident." Hmph, did she really think that just one Tieflin could change her situation? There were as many as 5 or 6 legendary powerhouses around Lord Shadurella alone, and 2 of them were from Her Majesty the Empress's team of completely legendary powerhouses, not to mention that Lord Shadurirona was also a powerful legendary mage herself. Based on this alone, the future inheritance of the empire is already doomed, if Ticialis is smart, she will immediately surrender, and maybe there will be a chance to control one side in the future, otherwise with her little magister level, sooner or later there will be no place to die!"
After saying all this, Ogoros once again set his eyes on his youngest son, he slapped him on the shoulder a few times, and then said: "Go and clean it up at once, that woman you must not only not scold her, but be doubly good to her." Well, by the way, when you leave here, remember to go to the outskirts of Etiresac City first, and bring your sister with you, she will be your biggest support in the west, so remember to take care of it all the way, understand?"
