The situation in the land of mercenaries, which is always the darkest before dawn, seems calm, perhaps this is the calm before the storm, and the people of White Mountain City are very fortunate to witness an unprecedented celebration, Beeri held a canonization ceremony in place of Yoland, officially canonizing Anthony as the Duke of the Empire. [No pop-up novel network]

The canonization ceremony is not uncommon, it is rare that eight peak powerhouses gathered in Baishan City, it is not too much to describe this scene as unprecedented, and carefully calculate with their fingers, even if it is the three major powerhouses on the big 6, the high-end strike force is nothing more than that.

Anthony was deeply glad for the choice of the day, a long time ago, when he married Nizheva, the princess of the side chamber of the Allison Empire, the scene was far less grand than now, and every peak powerhouse represented a glory, which was no longer a matter of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but gratitude.

Anthony has always been a lonely loner, of course, this is inseparable from the national policy of the Alison Empire, and the two are indeed allies, but the Allison Empire does not want to see Anthony have too strong forces, because an ally who is too strong will become disobedient, why does the great magician Mike dare to ask Anthony to give up his grudge and cooperate with the Tiger of Theo mercenary group instead? With Anthony's obedient attitude, with Anthony's strength that is neither strong nor weak, if Anthony really defeats the other three mercenary groups and becomes a mercenary country, will he still be respectful to the Elison Empire?

Anthony knew all this, so after he became a great swordsman, he did not work hard, but chose to cultivate behind closed doors.

Because of the established national policy, Innheim, Mike and others did not want to have a deep friendship with Anthony. And because of his position, it is even more impossible for other powerful forces to become friends with him, and Anthony has always been lonely.

The happiest person now is undoubtedly him, although it is the first time they have met, but Beeri and Steig are used to seeing all kinds of scenes, and quickly adjust the atmosphere, Sean and Dalma Wangsha are very humble and polite. Although Ernest is very arrogant, it is not malicious, and he will say a few words from time to time to talk to these people about their experiences, experiences, experiences, and feelings, and Anthony feels very happy.

Ampaire did not attend the ceremony. Beerry and Anthony were the masters, and he stood at the window of the town hall silently looking at the crowd surging below, and suddenly said, "Alice, there is something I don't quite understand. ”

"What is it?" Alice looked up. casually handed a volume of copywriting to Hui Wei, signaling that Hui Wei could go out.

"Since Marshal Beeri is ready to fight a big battle, why don't you want to hide your strength......? It seems that there is no need to be so grand, and His Excellency Marino was very low-key when he received the fief. ”

"Anthony and Marino are different, and they are and they are different. Alice smiled, and then flipped through the list of numbers and looked at it carefully. Compared to the vast majority of girls. Alice is an incomprehensible alternative, and she will always put herself in the second place compared to politics, even though the person who is talking to her now is An Fei. She couldn't stop what she was doing.

"What's the difference?" Anfei asked, turning around.

"Marino had long since moved closer to the Mao Empire, but Anthony had always been on the side of the Elison Empire. Alice said as she flipped through the number watch in her hand, "I guess Your Majesty wants to set an example, don't underestimate the power of example." It's time for a critical moment. It often works wonders. ”

"What else?"

"At that time, the situation was not very clear, but now. Your Majesty has expressed her determination that the Shining Sand Empire is to the east of us, while Sejialan is leading the army to retreat to Blackwater City in the northwest, and she has also expressed her uncompromising attitude, and many people know that war is difficult to avoid. ”

"I'm asking Marshal Béeri why he doesn't hide his strength, and I can understand what you say, but ......"

"There's no way to hide it. Alice rubbed her eyebrows, she was not tired of dealing with political affairs, but it was very hard to do two things, she had to close the number watch, and raised her head: "The three great powers have been facing each other for hundreds of years, and no one can tell how many spies are lurking around them, if it is one or two people who plan carefully, it is okay, Your Majesty has already used it this time, and it is already regarded as the power of the country, what can you hide? If you are Sejialan, what would you think when you hear the news that the peak powerhouses of the Ma Empire have disappeared en masse?"

"In that case, of course, I have to show my strength in a high-profile manner. Alice stood up with her head and skirt in front of the round mirror on the table: "Anfei, will you have an estrangement with Chris Ling because of something?"

"I don't, Chris is not that kind of person, even if something unpleasant happens, we will put it out and make it clear. ”

"Does that mean you're genuinely willing to serve the Mao Empire?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"In other words, we can twist together, but do you think they can?" Alice smiled, "The situation in Sejialan is too complicated, there are the army of the Shining Sand Empire, the army of the Holy See, plus the Tiger of Theo in Blackwater City, the mercenary group of elves, and the allied army of the druids...... If there are more half-orcs and barbarians, all races on the big 6 will be almost complete. ”

Alice walked over to An Fei, looked down at the crowd, and continued, "The stronger we show our strength, the more afraid they will become, and the more suspicious they will become. In addition to destroying the enemy, the purpose of war is to do everything possible to preserve one's own living forces, and to die together, no matter for anyone, it is not a good result. ”

"I kind of get it. An Fei nodded slowly.

"Segaran wants to destroy the Death Roar Legion, she wants to destroy Bellery, and she wants to destroy us, but is she willing to wipe out all the troops of the Shining Sand Empire for her own goal? No, she won't!" Alice showed a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth: "In the same way, the Holy See will not elves and druids, who doesn't like to take advantage?" What they hope is that the allies will bear all the costs, so that they can easily pick the fruits of victory, and the price paid by the allies is of course the bigger the better, and it is best to fight with the enemy, and then only one of them will be the winner." ”

An Fei sighed softly, and the human nature that Alice spoke about seemed to be an inevitable and irreparable fatal wound of Sejialan.

"Although Sejialan is a natural commander, she has no power to change anything, unless she is willing to let the Shining Sand Empire bear all the losses, since she can't do it herself, what right does she have to ask others?!" Alice sneered: "I can imagine the scene at that time, the colorful coalition forces put on a formation, the two armies faced each other, and other wars really broke out, and the so-called coalition forces fought to preserve their strength, and the odds of Marshal Beerry, who couldn't do it, naturally greatly increased." ”

"Let's talk about Sejialan. An Fei whispered, "You know her well?"

"She's ......," Alice was stunned for a while, revealing a bitter smile: "I used to think she was a very withdrawn person, and later I learned that she was much smarter than me!"

"Why do you say that?" An Fei asked interestingly.

"Biting dogs usually don't bark. Alice said slowly, although her tone was calm, the metaphor of Segaran to a dog was enough to prove the hatred in her heart: "She does not like to talk, whether it is a banquet or any other occasion, she always sits alone in the corner, like a mural. And I'm like a fool, and I love the feeling of being the center of attention wherever I go. I spare no effort to promote my own ideas and comment on the gains and losses of current politics, even if it involves my father, I will not shy away from it. Compared to me, a lot of people know what I like and what I hate, but no one has ever understood Seja. ”

"I've heard people say more than once that Sejialan is a natural commander, but I don't believe it. An Fei smiled: "Maybe she is a qualified commander, but she must have put in a lot of sweat and effort before this, but others don't know it." Are there any people around Alice who look unusual?"

"Anomaly, what do you want to know?"

"I wonder who taught Segar these things. ”

Alice shook her head: "I don't know, with her character, it's impossible for others to know." ”

"And Segarlan actually trained an army privately, so she could become famous in the suppression of the rebellion, the question is, how can she train those soldiers? It shouldn't be possible with the support of Chieric alone, right?" An Fei said slowly: "There are still many doubts, even if Sejialan succeeds, but in the military world of the Shining Sand Empire, Sejialan is still just a newcomer, how can your father rest assured that the fate of the entire country will be entrusted to her? Beeri introduced that this time the reinforcements brought by Prince Chieric actually had three squadrons of griffon knights!"

"You're talking about what happened after I left, how can I know?" said Alice with a wry smile.

"Analyze all the information together, when Sejialan entered the country of mercenaries, your father did not approve of it, so Sejialan forcibly broke through the level and set foot on the land of the country of mercenaries. Later, it is said that after Prince Chieric's maneuvering, your father reluctantly accepted the fait accompli, and at Prince Chieric's request, sent more than 100 griffon knights to Segaran. Now three squadrons have been sent out at once...... "An Fei said softly: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" asked Alice, surprised.

An Fei only shook his head and didn't speak, indeed, on a large level, his analytical skills are not as good as Alice's, so he just asked Alice for questions, but when studying a person or a subtle thing, he is much more sensitive than Alice. Alice's father's character has long been set, it is impossible for an old man who is stingy, timid, and unambitious to suddenly become a gambler!
