Chapter 240: The King's Ambition
In the morning, Seth and Old Mark looked at Roddy Mioss with a somewhat ambiguous look in their eyes. Last night, both of them knew that Roddy had gone to Miaosi's room later, so their eyes seemed to contain infinite reverie......
Myoss seemed a little embarrassed, but Roddy was calm—he had only talked to Myosi last night almost until dawn, and the conversation seemed a little heavy in his heart, so he had no time to care about the ambiguous thoughts in other people's hearts.
The only important thing to do during the day today is to go to the palace and officially sign the peace treaty!
This peace negotiation involves most of the kingdoms of Roland 6, after all, the price of the peace talks is shared by these kingdoms, so this signing is also very large-scale.
Representatives of the ten kingdoms, including King Sauron, signed an agreement for peace talks. The content of the agreement mainly includes two points. First, of course, the ten kingdoms jointly exchanged 600 warships for the return of hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war. And the second one, an armistice!
Originally, the diplomatic envoys of those other kingdoms originally had different thoughts in their hearts - although the main premise was that peace talks were definitely going on, but about the conditions of peace talks, everyone had evil intentions.
After all, everyone expected that the Empire of Light would definitely come up with a big price, and such a price would be apportioned among so many kingdoms, and almost every kingdom hoped that they could pay as little as possible.
And in the same way, there are also one or two kingdoms that actually came to the land with the attitude of seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and they saved a little bit of luck in their hearts, wanting to see the limelight before deciding. But Roddy's contest at the Crown Prince's Palace last night ...... It also somewhat made these guys who were still wavering in their hearts make up their minds!
One of the earls of the family is already so powerful, not to mention the legendary and extremely powerful Duke Tulip! At this moment, everyone is facing the crisis of being swallowed up by the temple, and at this moment, it will definitely be of great benefit to make such a powerful foreign aid!
The peace talks continued very smoothly, and the distribution of 600 warships was quickly negotiated. The Kingdom of Sauron has faintly become the leader of the Roland 6 side of this peace negotiation, and has taken on the share of two hundred warships alone - such a decision may make His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, unhappy again.
The old right minister was still present at the signing, and when Roddy signed his name on a contract on behalf of the Empire of Light, as was customary. Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and the old right minister stood quietly beside Luo Didi, and said in a low voice: "Congratulations, Lord Earl, you have fulfilled your mission!"
Luo Di had long been wary of this old right minister, and replied lightly: "A strong national strength is the guarantee of diplomatic victory." The right minister's compliments to me personally. I'm ashamed!"
It is worth noting. Of the thirteen kingdoms of Roland6, only ten kingdoms participated in the peace talks, and three kingdoms did not.
The three kingdoms were, in order: the Kingdom of Gordon, the Kingdom of Teuton...... The other one is the Eight Clans of the Dwarves!
The Kingdom of Gordon and the Kingdom of Teuton have always been the most staunch forces on the side of the Temple, especially Prometheus, the Elder of the Temple of the Temple. In that year, he traveled thousands of miles to pray in a drought rarely seen in the history of the Kingdom of Gordon, and finally moved the gods to rain, and since then he has been called "the one chosen by the gods".
And the Teutonic kingdom. It is also because Promethean showed great favor in a plague disaster that swept through the Teutonic kingdom, and finally even paid the price of being blind in one eye, in exchange for the title of "one-eyed saint", a household name in the Teutonic kingdom.
In these two kingdoms, the authority of the Cult of God is the greatest, so it has always stood firmly on the side of the temple - or rather, on the side of Prometheus!
As for the kingdom of the dwarves, the position is somewhat ambiguous.
As we all know, the topography of Roland 6 is like a white paper with a big hole dug in the middle, and there is a huge inland sea in the middle of the big 6, and the inland sea leads directly to the Thundering Strait along a large river.
The kingdom of the dwarves is a large island or a small one in the middle of the inland sea.
Because of the different races, the dwarves rarely interact with the many kingdoms of Roland 6, and in the history of Roland 6, there have also been several wars between the dwarves and other countries of Roland 6. Later, the dwarves surrendered to the temple and expressed their willingness to believe in the cult, and were officially recognized by the temple as a member of the 6 kingdoms of Roland.
And more importantly, the Eight Tribes of the Dwarves control a very important strategic material......
Ironwood!
Ironwood to make the sturdy Roland warship!
Perhaps because of the special climate brought about by the special terrain, the Ironwood Tree grows abundantly on the huge island where the Dwarven Kingdom is located. The ironwood resources of Roland 6 Ten ** all come from the dwarf kingdom. And ironwood is indeed an indispensable resource for Roland 6 - without ironwood, it is impossible to build a strong Roland warship, and without a strong Roland warship, it is impossible to defend the Thundering Strait! If there is no powerful navy, the thunder whip of the Bright Empire would have struck hundreds of years ago!
For these reasons, the Dwarven kingdom has always occupied a special place among the many kingdoms of Roland the Great 6. On the one hand, the Roland people don't seem to like that strange race very much, and on the other hand, they can't avoid the need for each other's ironwood.
"They're waiting for a price!" After the signing was over, Roddy stayed in the palace and mentioned the three kingdoms that did not participate in the peace talks, especially the kingdom of the dwarves, and the king made this assessment.
Because today is the official signing, Roddy came alone, and did not have Mioss and "Miss Nicole" with him - after all, this is a world where men are inferior to women, and the aura of the eldest lady of the Tulip family may win a lot of respect, but there is still no room for women to attend this kind of formal state signing.
Roddy thought for a moment and spoke, "Is Your Majesty worried about how to win over the dwarves?"
The king shook his head: "No. I don't want to win them over. ”
At this moment, only the king and Roddy were left in the hall, and even the right minister was not allowed to participate in the conversation between the two.
The king clapped his hands lightly, and immediately entered the palace from behind the side door, and several of the palace attendants held a large cloth scroll aloft in the air, and then placed it on the ground and slowly unfolded it.
This is a topographic map of Roland 6, with different colors and markings indicating the territory, mountains, rivers, and seas of the many kingdoms of Roland the Great 6.
Roddy looked at the map slowly unfolding. Eyes lit up.
The king had stepped down from his throne, and he walked up to Roddy's side and stood side by side with him: "Your Excellency, please see, this is what I have spent several years trying to gather information. Baby!"
Roddy squinted. Tentatively: "Such a thing." If it is in a time of war, it will be a priceless treasure that can turn the warplane! Your Majesty is not afraid that I, a soldier of the Bright Empire, will look at such a thing?"
The king laughed, patted Roddy on the shoulder, and strode over to the map.
The huge map was spread on the ground, and it was about a dozen square meters in size. The king stood in the middle of the map, which was clearly the territory of the dwarven kingdom above the Inland Sea.
"This is the precious resource of Roland's 6th Land: the land of ironwood!" the king's face was heavy: "I don't need to say it. The Earl also understands the importance of Ironwood to the Rolanders!"
The scepter in the king's hand pointed at the map: "The kingdom of the dwarves is not large, and the entire kingdom of the Eight Clans is only three cities, which are promulgated on the top, middle, and bottom of the island. The rest of the land is full of forests and mountains, dotted with villages and small towns. Hundreds of years ago, during the war between the Dwarves and the Rolands, the Dwarves relied entirely on the favorable terrain and the natural checkpoints of the mountains to deal with us. ”
Roddy's heart moved, and he noticed that the king was talking about "us"!
"The dwarves control two-thirds of the iron wood produced by Roland 6! In some ways, they even control the lifeblood of the Roland people!" The king sighed: "Our kingdom of Sauron is known as the strongest kingdom of Roland, but even we dare not offend the dwarf race! Because if we offend the dwarves, we will face the inability to get ironwood! Ironwood is ridiculous! We are at the southernmost point of Roland 6! We almost bear the threat from the bright 6 alone!" We need a strong navy to protect ourselves, so we don't dare to offend the dwarves!"
Luo Di said coldly: "Then didn't the Roland people never think of conquering the dwarf clan and firmly controlling the resources in their own hands?"
The king shook his head: "We have missed the best time!" he said slowly, "In the war hundreds of years ago, the Soft Rolanders had the opportunity to do it, but the dwarves surrendered to the temple and obtained the recognition of the temple. So the war was forced to stop. And they agreed to make a deal with the Rolands, and the kingdoms of Roland the Great 6 could buy ironwood from them. ”
Luo Di frowned: "If you buy it with money, wouldn't it still be in the hands of someone else?"
The king sighed: "The funny thing is that our predecessors actually agreed, in their eyes, they only see the temporary solution of the problem, but they do not see the long-term!" He paused for a moment and continued: "Because of this unique resource, the dwarves have gathered a large amount of money through the ironwood trade through hundreds of years! I can say without exaggeration that although the kingdom of the dwarves is the smallest of the thirteen kingdoms of Roland, they are the richest!"
Roddy sighed deeply - this kind of unleashed attempt to show the strength of the enemy was too stupid.
"The gold coins of Roland Da 6 continue to flow into the pockets of the dwarves, and they have the money to build strong walls and equip elite armies, I can say that today, if you conquer the dwarves head-on, it is no longer possible for any kingdom of Roland Da 6 to do it alone - except for our kingdom of Sauron, of course!"
The king used his scepter to draw a circle over the dwarven lands and smiled, "Each of us understands that this is a huge cake! will be able to grasp the lifeblood of Roland Big 6!"
Luo Di smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you never thought of eating this cake? Other kingdoms may not have this kind of strength, but the Kingdom of Sauron always has land, right?"
"I've thought about it! I've thought about it many times!" the king sighed, "Actually, before I had inherited the throne. I thought about it. ”
"Then why ......"
The king seemed to be smiling bitterly: "Because I don't dare!"
"Don't dare?"
The king sighed, "This is a tempting piece of cake, but at the same time, it is also a rope! The other end of the rope tugs at the sensitive nerves of the other kingdoms!" His scepter paused heavily on the floor, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone wants to get a piece of this cake, but no one wants to see anyone take this cake alone! Besides, the dwarves and the kingdoms of Roland6 have been trading for hundreds of years, so there are always a few close customers, right?"
"I understand. Luo Di nodded: "If the Sauron Kingdom gets involved in this cake, then it will become the public enemy of Roland 6! After all, letting the dwarves occupy valuable resources can also make the other kingdoms of Roland 6 reluctantly accept, because the dwarves are not strong enough after all." does not threaten their position. But if Sauron, the number one power in Roland, takes possession of this piece of cake, I am afraid that the kings of other kingdoms will not be able to sleep at night.
The king smiled, seemingly awkwardly.
Luo Di narrowed his eyes, stared at the ambitious king in front of him, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty let me see such a map today, and said so much to me, what is the purpose of the matter? I can't guess the subtle things, Your Majesty should say it directly!"
The king took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with something called "ambition", and he said in a deep voice, "Now is the best time for the kingdom of Sauron to occupy this cake field!!"
"Oh?" Roddy's eyes lit up.
"The ambition of Promethean has bound the ten kingdoms of Sauron. Whether we like it or not, we're all in the same boat now! I think, now if I reach for this cake. I'm afraid that even if you are unhappy in your heart, you won't really turn your face against me!" the king smiled slyly: "After all, the threat of the temple is the most important thing!"
Roddy remained silent, and looked at the king quietly.
The king's face seemed to glow, and the scepter in his hand gently pointed out a location on the map: "After this peace negotiation, we have sent hundreds of warships to your land that will gather from this port of the Kingdom of Sauron, and then go down the inland sea, from the great river to the Thundering Strait, to the Empire of Light......"
The king's scepter slid down the map, but when Roddy saw it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the king's meaning.
The king smiled sinisterly: "After the port is out, our fleet will be divided into three groups, and the hundred warships of the Sauron Kingdom will be the last group, and the route is ......" He pointed on the map: "It will be 'dropping' by the island of the Dwarven Kingdom, about fifteen nautical miles!"
"Then the army suddenly turned around and attacked the kingdom of the dwarves with lightning speed, striving to conquer the dwarves in the shortest possible time...... Your Majesty means that, right?" Roddy suddenly glanced at the king and said in a deep voice, "Sneak attack...... Hmph, is it possible to sneak attack a country and then want to conquer the entire territory of the other side in a short period of time? Is Your Majesty so sure? If the war does not go well and falls into a stalemate, I am afraid it will be very dangerous. ”
The king looked solemn and said slowly: "I have three reasons! First, I have this map, which records in detail most of the military strongholds of the Eight Tribes and the distribution of their troops! If the commander of the army is used properly, it can completely defeat the opponent's army in the shortest time! Second, it is the timing! All along, no one has touched the dwarf race, because the other kingdoms have a subtle psychology, and everyone is deliberately protecting the dwarf race from any country! And now the situation has been broken! My army went to sea in the name of transporting warships to the Empire of Light, and before the other forces could react, they had already boarded the 6th to start the war! There is no better time than now! Third ......"
The king seemed to glance at Roddy, and said slowly in an unusually strange tone: "I happen to have a peerless famous general, I believe that under the command of this invincible general, this plan will be realized!!"
Luo Di frowned: "Peerless general, are you talking about General Tiger of your country who once commanded the 'Holy War'? I have also heard of General Tiger's ability, but I didn't expect you to trust him so much......
The king interrupted Roddy: "No, I am not talking about General Tiger, but another! I believe that the commander is ten times more capable than General Tiger! for as far as I know, the commander almost never loses a war! he has great courage and great strength, and has the mind of a brilliant military strategist...... These advantages have made him invincible and invincible since he stepped onto the battlefield!"
Luo Di gradually felt that something was wrong, but he still pretended to say: "What is Your Majesty talking about......"
"It's you, Your Excellency the Earl!" a smile appeared on the King's lips, and his gaze was like a blade, almost as if he were going to see through Roddy......! Your Excellency Duke Tulip?"
The curse of the "Divine Record" in Chapter 241 of the Blasphemy Volume
The king's last words rang in Roddy's ears like a thunderbolt, and before the words fell, the country's sharp gaze was already firmly fixed on Roddy's face.
"Hahaha......" Luo Di suddenly smiled lightly, his face did not have the slightest look of shock, he still had a calm and calm demeanor, and said slowly: "Your Majesty seems to have misrecognized my name." I'm the commander of the Imperial Royal Guard, Count Roddy, the First Count of the Empire! ”
The king sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, why do you continue to hide it like this? ”
Luo Di smiled slightly: "Your Majesty must have misunderstood, Duke Tulip's demeanor is a household name in the imperial capital of the Bright Empire, and many people have seen his appearance, how can you suspect that I am a duke?"
The king squinted his eyes, making it impossible to guess his thoughts from his gaze, and then heard him slowly say, "Although I am not on good terms with the temple, there are always some sources of news from the Cult. The Black Veil Sage has firmly rejected the marriage contract of the Fielding Paladin since he returned from the Great Moon Kingdom, and it has long been rumored in the temple that this matter may have something to do with the Duke of Tulip! And under the Thundering City, the matter of the challenge of the Fielding Paladin and His Excellency the Duke, hundreds of thousands of people have seen it! Isn't it still proof that yesterday in this palace, the Black Veil Sage was by your side, and I can already confirm the reason for her apostasy just by the way she looked at Your Excellency!"
Roddy smiled and glanced at the king casually: "Is it just based on this guess that Your Majesty will actually think that I am Lord Tulip? This is too ......"
The king laughed loudly, and laughter interrupted Roddy's words: "Hahaha...... That alone makes me a little confused, but I don't really think about it. It's just that I happened to get two messages last night...... These two pieces of news naturally make me doubt your identity. ”
Roddy looked at the king quietly, he was already a little shocked in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface, waiting for the king to speak.
"Your Excellency Luo Di, I also received news from the contest you had with the crown prince last night! Others may not know the strength of Thunder Roar, but I know it! Thunder Roar was originally a member of the Royal Knights, and I naturally know in my heart what level his strength has reached! You can easily defeat Thunder Roar, and the last move, 'Condensing Qi into Form', is clearly reaching the realm of your country's Sword Saint Warrior!" The king's tone became slower and slower:" Your Excellency Roddy, although I am far away in Roland6, but in view of the previous relationship between your country and us...... Hehe, I'm not ignorant of the affairs in your country! With the strength of your Sword Saint Warrior, it can be said that it is rare in the Empire of Light! But a master like you, why have I never heard of your name before?"
Luo Di still shook his head: "It's just chasing the wind." Guangming Da 6 has a vast territory, and I don't know how many high-ranking hermits, not all powerful people have a prominent reputation!"
The king's face remained unchanged, and he continued coldly to say another sentence: "And coincidentally, just last night I received a secret letter from your country, and Duke Tulip has already recovering from his injuries and has not appeared in front of anyone for a long time!
Roddy couldn't help frowning secretly, he wasn't worried about anything else, it's just that the king got a secret report from the empire so quickly, don't forget it, it's just that Nicole is still in the country, so I'm afraid Seth's identity will be suspected.
Sure enough, the king continued to smile and said: "What is even more puzzling to me is that the secret report actually says that Miss Nicole is still in the country, and she is in the fiefdom of the Tulip Family at the moment! Of course, I will wonder, since the eldest lady of the Tulip Family is still in your country, then who is the 'Miss Nicole' you brought? And what puzzles me is that, according to my information, this Miss Nicole you brought is extremely imaginary in appearance with the eldest daughter of the Tulip Family mentioned in legend!"
The king sighed, looked at Roddy and didn't speak, smiled deliberately, and continued: "Since there can be two 'Miss Nicole' at the same time, then His Excellency Duke Tulip incarnated as Count Roddy and brought his sister to visit Rolanda secretly, right?"
Speaking of this, the king seemed to admire: "You have put your sister on a show to attract the attention of others, and you have become a little earl, Your Excellency the Duke of Tulip, your means are really clever! It's a pity that you didn't expect my news to come so quickly!" The king's tone gradually became solemn: "I don't hide your Excellency, your country is powerful, and it has always been a thorn in Sauron's side and a thorn in the flesh! How can I not pay close attention to the movements of your country?" From the messenger eagle in your country, it only takes four days to cross the Thundering Strait to deliver the news to me!"
Speaking of this, the king finally closed his mouth, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, and quietly looked at Roddy in front of him.
Roddy took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, looking at the eyes of the king, Roddy suddenly laughed out loud. His long smile filled every corner of the hall, and in the laughter, Roddy shook his head and looked helpless.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" Roddy stopped laughing: "Your Majesty, I have to admire your guess very much! If it is really according to what you say, even I can't help but feel as if I really can only be Duke Tulip...... It's a pity that it's very ......" Roddy pointed to his nose and shook his head, "I'm not!"
The king looked at Luo Di coldly: "Your Excellency Duke, do you still refuse to admit it?"
Luo Di deliberately smiled bitterly: "Duke Tulip is famous all over the world, and everyone has attracted attention! To be honest, I myself hope that I am, but I am not, that is also a fact!" There was a bit of a sarcastic smile in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you severely punish your secret agents in our country!"
"Oh? Why?"
Roddy pretended to sigh and said, "Because although it is true that you reported that Duke Tulip was recuperating from his injuries and was not seen at home, he seems to have missed a piece of news!"
Looking at the king's puzzled eyes, Luo Di said slowly: "Of course, this may not be to blame your spies, after all, they will only pay attention to those important movements according to your orders, and will not care about me as a little person!
Luo Di pointed to his nose and smiled, "I, the commander of the Imperial Royal Guard, First Earl Luo Di." At the same time, I am also the lover and fiancé of Miss Nicole, the eldest daughter of the Tulip family!Although not many people know about this matter, as long as you order a little visit, it should not be difficult to get the news!" Roddy smiled even more happily: "If I were Duke Tulip, how could I be a couple with my sister?"
The king finally couldn't hold back a little, and frowned, "The fiancé of the eldest daughter of the Tulip family......?" I really didn't get that news...... It's just ......" The king suddenly looked at Roddy coldly: "So, what is the explanation for the appearance of two Miss Nicole here and in your country at the same time?"
Luo Di said lightly: "Your Majesty, although this matter has nothing to do with you, but in order to understand the doubts in your heart, I might as well tell you frankly: Miss Nicole came here with me this time, and she was doing it in secret! In fact, it is not suitable to come to Roland University with her identity...... After all, you and I have just experienced a war, and Miss Nicole is a noble person, so naturally she can't come rashly. His Majesty the Emperor also rejected her request. It's just that she insists on going her own way, and she must come with me, which can't be persuaded, and the Duke has been obedient to his sister since he was a child, and Miss Nicole's intentions, even the Duke can't object...... Therefore, we had to get a stand-in in the country, just to hide people's eyes and ears, so as not to be punished by His Majesty the Emperor. ”
The king frowned, and his face finally changed a little. It seems to be pondering Roddy's words.
In the king's mind, although Roddy's explanation seemed reasonable, he always felt that something was wrong......
Luo Di bowed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the current situation is pressing, Your Majesty is so deliberately tracking down my identity, it is inevitable that he will be a little sacrificing!"
The king thought for a moment, squinted at Roddy, and seemed to whisper, "I still believe that I can't be wrong!" Then the king of Sauron shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Whether it's a duke or an earl, since Mr. Roddy is unwilling to delve into this matter, then we might as well put it aside!"
He absolutely insisted on his own guess in his heart! According to his own observation, this "Count Roddy" in front of him felt that the other party had an extraordinary bearing, and his expression and demeanor were extremely general-like, such a talent could not be just an obscure guy in the Empire of Light! Just seeing Roddy's reasoning and explanation, the king couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart.
What's more, even if the other party is Duke Tulip, since he is trying so hard to hide his identity, why do he have to tear this layer of fig paper?
There are some things that everyone understands in their hearts, and if they hide some of them, maybe the effect will be better!
Thinking of this, the king laughed and said loudly: "What Lord 'Earl' said is reasonable!" After a pause, he turned his gaze to the map under his feet again, and said lightly: "Since Lord Count seems to have some troubles, then we might as well continue the topic just now, this dwarf cake ......"
Roddy smiled reluctantly, as soon as he heard the king's "bitterness", he understood in his heart that this king of Sauron was suspicious by nature, and since the other party was suspicious of himself, it was absolutely impossible to completely dispel the other party's doubts with his own words. But since he was willing to skip the topic, Roddy was naturally in the right place.
"Okay, aside from the question just now, I'll just ask you one thing!" The king is indeed a veteran of politics, his face changed very quickly, and in a moment, he has regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Roddy, are you willing to help me and seize this 'cake'?" After speaking, the scepter in his hand paused heavily on the ground, and it was inserted in the center of the dwarven kingdom on the map!
Luo Di didn't answer immediately, he seemed to look at the king carefully for a while, and then said lightly: "Your Majesty, do you think I should help you?" His gaze was fixed on the king's face: "Getting this cake will naturally benefit the Sauron Kingdom immensely! It's just that for our Bright Empire, it doesn't seem to make any sense, right?"
The king smiled lightly, and there was a hint of a blade in his smile: "If I am not mistaken, your country did not actually have any noble purpose in agreeing to this peace talks! Your country's plan is nothing more than that you don't want the temple to really unify the entire Roland Empire! A divided Roland 6 is much less threatening than a unified 'Roland Empire' with a temple! Your country promised to send back those hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, just hoping to make the battle between our Roland Kingdom and the temple happy!"
Looking at the king's sharp gaze, Luo Di did not give in, and said lightly: "Yes and what? Not, so what?" He seemed to sneer: "I have just learned a sentence recently: There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world! Your Majesty! Now our peace talks are just the needs of both sides! As long as it is in each other's interests, what is the point of saying so much?" Luo Di's tone gradually showed a bit of mockery: " If according to His Majesty's statement, then it doesn't seem noble that your country secretly funded the Great Moon Kingdom to oppose our country at the beginning!"
"Hahahaha!" the king burst out laughing a few times, and exclaimed, "Well said! Good one: there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies! I will only ask you one thing, if your Excellency will help me!"
Seeing that Luo Di smiled silently, the king immediately understood, and said in a low voice: "The matter of the current peace talks has been decided! The face tearing with the temple is right in front of you! The dwarf kingdom not only has a large area of iron and wood resources, but also hundreds of years of trade, which has allowed them to accumulate a lot of wealth! As long as we get this wealth, it will naturally be of great help to our next confrontation with the temple......" Speaking of this, the king smiled and looked at Luo Di with deep meaning: "With you" Experienced in a hundred battles, we should understand that the so-called war is actually the consumption of money and food!"
Roddy nodded.
The king continued to say loudly: "I don't know what method that old fellow Promethean used to get the help of the dragons! Although the dragons have never participated in the affairs of Roland 6, they are willing to help the temple this time, this matter always makes me feel uneasy! The enemy's strength has increased by one point, and the threat to us has increased by one point! As long as Sauron gets this piece of cake, then those other kingdoms must obey me! Gather all forces together to resist the annexation of the temple!" In this situation, as long as it can be beneficial to us, do you have any hesitation?"
Luo Di was secretly shocked by the king's ambition and boldness, and couldn't help but say: "Eating this cake may allow Sauron to consolidate the leadership position in the Roland Kingdom, but at the same time, His Majesty doesn't seem to have considered another possibility...... "Luo Di looked into the king's eyes and said slowly: "Sauron is likely to provoke other kingdoms and become everyone's public enemy!!"
The king didn't care about the sarcasm in Luo Di's words, and said lightly: "I don't care so much!" He showed an extremely confident smile on his face: "I have never believed that there is any absolutely perfect plan in this world! Things are man-made! Now the situation is forced to do so! I have to gamble once! If I win the bet! I can rely on this piece of cake to coerce and lure, firmly pull the power of other kingdoms in my hands, and let a plate of loose sand become a condensed fist! Such a temptation, how can I not be tempted?!"
Bet!
Roddy's gaze suddenly contracted, looking at the King of Sauron in front of him, and he couldn't help but have some complicated feelings in his heart.
This guy is so ambitious that he actually devised such a bold plan! If you succeed, you will reach the sky, and if you fail, you will be destroyed!
A careerist with a gambling mentality!
Luo Di actually had a feeling of admiration in his heart, let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "In that case, what else do I have to say? It's just that Your Majesty must help me, but I can't think of what kind of help I can give you!"
The king smiled: "I will personally command the army in this sneak attack!" I hope that His Excellency Luo Di will go to sea with me...... Hehe...... I hope you will give my armies wise command!!Lead them to victory!" The king smiled as if he were a little cunning: "I believe that such a matter will be of great benefit to both you and me, and you will not object to it!"
Luo Di frowned: "You actually trust me so much, and persuade me to take command of the army?"
The king shook his head: "Naturally, it can't really be handed over to you. After all, you are not from the Kingdom of Sauron, but this time I will personally command the troops! Your Excellency Roddy's orders will be conveyed through me......" As if seeing Roddy's doubts, the king smiled lightly: "I believe that with your brilliant achievements, you should not have the hope of disappointing me!"
Knowing that it was useless to say anything now, Roddy gave the king a deep look, then bent down and bowed, and took his leave.
Seeing Luo Di go away, the door of the main hall slowly closed, the king suddenly let out a long breath, his face showed a little tired, he slowly walked back to his throne, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly whispered: "What do you think?"
In the shadow of the corner, the voice of the Sith master came out: "Suspicious! This Roddy is absolutely suspicious!" The leader of the Roland Big 6 Magician Association sighed: "I have carefully observed him, but with my strength, I can't see his depth! My detection technique is completely ineffective against him!"
The king shook his head: "Then it is certain that he must be the man!"
After a moment of silence, Master Sith suddenly spoke, "You, have you really decided to gamble?"
"Yes!" replied the king at once, "I will regret it if I miss this opportunity!"
Master Sith suddenly chuckled in a low voice, his old voice seemed to carry a bit of sharp sarcasm: "You want to fight the dwarves so hard...... Is it for those iron and wood resources, wealth, or ......" His voice gradually became a little ethereal: "Or is it to seize the 'divine record' that was legendary hundreds of years ago, and the dwarves possessed?"
The king suddenly stood up, and Huo Ran changed color and said, "Master Sith, have you also heard of the 'Divine Record'!!"
The Sith's voice seemed to be a little cold: "The Wizards Association has a history of hundreds of years, and I always know something about those ethereal things...... His tone gradually became sharper: "In order to deal with the temple, don't you ignore the curse of the 'Divine Record'!!Even the Divine Temple, at the beginning, was afraid of the curse of the 'Divine Record', and had to order to stop the war with the dwarves! I warn you, the 'Divine Record' must not appear on this big 6, otherwise, it will not only bring disaster!!"
The king laughed, and his laughter was a little arrogant: "Do you mean calamity, or destruction?? If the temple succeeds, I will be the first to be destroyed! If I am destroyed, then I will not mind dragging everything with me to destroy!!"
Seeing that the king was laughing wildly, Sith's gaze revealed a somewhat complicated meaning, as if he was just talking to himself, he lowered his voice and said slowly: "Curse of the Divine Record: Invisible sky, invisible earth, invisible people...... Alas, back then, the dwarves threatened to destroy the Divine Record, and the jade was burned, and even the temple didn't dare to make a mistake, I think you guy, you're really crazy!"
"The king has murderous intent on you!" After listening to Roddy's account of today's experience in the palace, Seth said lightly.
Miao Si frowned, as if she was a little puzzled: "Killing intent, even if the king doubts Roddy's identity in his heart, he won't be stupid enough to turn against the Bright Empire now, right?"
Seth shook his head, his tone calm: "If what Roddy said is true, this King Sauron is an extremely adventurous person! Duke Tulip is important to the Empire of Light, a three-year-old child knows it! If you can take this opportunity to kill Duke Tulip in one fell swoop, then for the Kingdom of Sauron, is there a better chance than this?"
Miao Si still didn't believe it: "Although this temptation is great, but now the Kingdom of Sauron needs to cooperate with the Empire of Light! He will not be stupid enough to offend such a great enemy in the south while facing the threat of the temple!"
Seth glanced at Miaosi and said coldly: "A woman is a woman, and you can never understand the beauty of politics!" Seeing Miaosi's eyes, Seth hurriedly continued: "Since Roddy bites himself to death and is not Duke Tulip, then the king might as well be willing to continue to pretend to be stupid...... Anyway, when Roddy was really killed by him, then it would only be a 'count' who died. Just find a reason, just say that he was assassinated by the temple. Even if the empire doesn't believe it, there is no evidence! Besides, even if the empire really turns its face, will he be afraid of the Sauron Kingdom?" He smiled and said: "What the Sauron Kingdom needs is only those hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war! After the hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war are in hand, even if it turns against the Empire of Light, so what? Anyway, with the Thundering Strait blocking it, the Empire of Glory can't fly over, right? Even if the Empire of Light can fly over, it's not that I speak badly—does the current empire have the ability to start a large-scale war?"
Miao Si said coldly: "Then you might as well give it a try! With our strength, even if the king has murderous intentions, can he help us?"
Seth was not annoyed at all, but instead smiled and said lightly: "I know that you are all strong, one is a great cultivator, and the other is a realm powerhouse, but no matter how strong you are, you are still human! As long as you are human, you must have weaknesses! A realm powerhouse is not an immortal body, right?" Seth suddenly sighed leisurely: "Everyone has weaknesses, and no matter how strong a person is, he can't get rid of this! In the muddy waters of politics, anything despicable, shameless, and unsightly can be done!"
He suddenly looked at Roddy and frowned, "Did you tell the king that you are Miss Nicole's fiancé?"
Luo Di hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, that's how I explained it." ”
"You've explained this well, but I'm afraid you've made me miserable!" Seth sighed, with a somewhat strange expression on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Then listen well! From now on, you have to spend more effort to protect me! The king can't kill the powerhouse in your field, won't he use his brain anywhere else? Fool! My current identity is none other than your fiancée, 'Miss Nicole!!"
Old Mark and Miao Si rolled their eyes at the same time, and the same thought flashed in their hearts: "You guy, you still need someone to protect you, thank God you don't provoke others!"
Roddy, who had been pondering, suddenly had a somewhat strange expression on his face: "Seth, what you just said suddenly reminded me?"
"What?"
Luo Di suddenly smiled, he gently touched his chin, and smiled: "Didn't you say, 'Anyway, with the Thundering Strait blocking it, the Bright Empire can't fly over?'
Sai nodded: "Yes, what's wrong with that?"
Luo Di stood up and said with a shallow smile: "Fly over the sea...... Well...... It's not impossible......"
