"I heard that His Excellency Finn Sterley brought a letter?"

The King of Grona did not exchange pleasantries with the messenger.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked straight to the point with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, the slightly obese envoy carefully opened the rune beast skin bag straddling his side.

Solemnly took out a thick letter with fire paint printing from the mezzanine.

On the cover of this letter, there is the golden deer emblem of the Sturley family.

After taking out the letterhead, the messenger held it in both hands and officially handed it into the hands of the King of Grona.

I took the thick letter casually.

King Grona did not break it up immediately, but handed it over to his henchmen scouts who were on standby behind him.

I saw that the scout's eyes lit up red, and he glanced at it carefully, nodded before handing it back to Grona, the necessary inspection process was essential.

After confirming that there was no problem, King Grona personally unveiled the fire paint seal.

The cover was opened, and several sheets of letter paper were poured out of it.

Without any scruples, I looked directly at it on the spot.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly raised his head.

The content of this letter was basically what he had expected.

Finn Sterley, the old fox, was the first to send him a sincere greeting.

Then get straight to the point.

He expressed his desire for a close alliance between the House of Stelee and the Lodbroke royal family.

The so-called blood alliance is not insignificant.

It is considered to be a high-level and more formal type of alliance among the major forces on the Naroa continent.

The Blood Alliance requires the allied forces to be united in attack and defense, and to advance and retreat together.

In other words, if the King of Grona agrees, then the Lodbrock royal family must firmly support the Strean family from now on.

The armies of the Nord kingdom are also obliged to participate in a possible war between the Sterry family and the Grey royal family of the Virginia kingdom.

Such a move will definitely cause cracks in the seemingly solid relationship between the five countries.

Most critically, the "Day of Destruction" is current.

Not to mention the alliance to support the Sterley family, it is difficult to even form a proposal to form a crusade coalition.

However, the letter mentions the benefits that the Lodbroke royal family can get.

In return for your support.

The wealthy Steli family is willing to pay the royal family of Lodbroke a large amount of money, weapons, ordnance, magic scrolls, and magical equipment.

The total is staggering.

Its value translates into armament and training costs, which is probably enough for the Lodbroke royal family to build at least 15 million more elite troops.

But as soon as you accept this benefit, you must make a covenant with your soul.

Naloya's contract was originally extremely binding.

Violators are bound to be severely punished.

Moreover, the process of concluding such a covenant is very complicated.

It is not simply a contract, but also an oath in the name of the ancestors.

The ancestor worship plot makes the Terrans of Naroa attach great importance to the honor and oath of their ancestors.

If the King of Grona had really agreed to Finn Sterley's request for an alliance.

This meant that in the event that the Sterley family was attacked by the Grey Clan, the Lodbroke Royals would have to send the Nord Army to their aid.

In this case, in a short period of time, King Grona's internal defense plan can only be put on hold.

So the choice is a big question.

Nominally, the territory of the Sturley family borders the northeastern part of the Nord kingdom.

In fact, beyond the border between the two countries, there is a buffer zone that spans tens of thousands of kilometers.

The nearby Nord Warfort was simply not enough to accommodate the massing of tens of millions of troops.

In order to communicate between the two places, a large long-distance transmission channel was also laid.

At present, all of Naroa's teleportation skills are obtained from the ruins.

It's not easy to prepare.

The most critical thing is.

The strength of the Gray royal family is strong, and if it really starts, the loss will not be much lower than facing the demon disaster.

This made Groner a little entangled.

It's all to blame for the internal contradictions in the Kingdom of Virginia at this time.

We can't wait until after the "Day of Destruction" has passed!

Thinking of this, King Grona was both entangled and a little complaining in his heart.

Because no matter what he chooses, the civil strife in Virgia is a foregone conclusion.

Whether or not the Nords help the Sturleys, this incident will affect the outcome of Doom Day.

It seemed to see his tangled thoughts.

The fat messenger sitting opposite spoke cautiously.

"Sorry to bother you."

"Master Finn has a few messages for me to relay to you personally."

When the envoy said this, his expression became solemn.

Then he added implicitly.

"You alone know about this."

Hearing his words, King Grona clapped his hands.

The attendants who stood next to them left the parlor without hesitation.

As the king's close men, they knew very well what to listen to and what not to hear.

After the waiters had left, there was a slight silence before the messenger spoke.

"Lord Finn says he has a way to help you master the Twin Axe Realm in the Nord Kingdom."

"As long as you completely control the Holy Realm, you will receive the legacy and power left by the ancestors of Nord."

"With this power, the Nord Kingdom will be able to survive the demon calamity more easily."

"The premise is that you agree to an alliance with the Sturley family."

"In addition to the first condition, the land that was later taken from the Tress family."

"A quarter will belong to the Nord kingdom forever."

The messenger said in a low voice.

These two additional conditions suddenly made King Grona's ass unable to sit still.

He rose to his feet, like a startled lion, and stared at the messenger in front of him with blazing eyes.

And the chubby messenger looked him in the eye without fear.

The eye contact lasted only a few seconds.

After a little thought, King Grona made a decision.

Abandonment of the idea of forming a coalition army.

The idea was originally to reduce the difficulty of the Demonic Calamity from the side.

It does not help to expand the territory at all.

Now that Finn Sterley has promised better terms.

King Grona naturally has no reason to refuse!

The most important thing is that the Twin Axe Sacred Realm is very important, it is a precious treasure left by the ancestors.

All major kingdoms have ancestral secret realms, and even many ancient families have them.

Those secret realms retain the wealth of the time when the demon plague has not yet appeared.

But it is full of strange prohibitions and restrictions of small dimensional rules, and it is not easy to completely attack it.

For so many years, none of the five kingdoms has been able to completely conquer the Ancestral Secret Realm.

But every time there is progress, the gains brought can greatly improve the strength of the kingdom.

Sometimes a powerful rune, sometimes it's some strange and efficient magic breathing technique.

The list goes on and on.

Therefore, for the major kingdoms, the ancestral secret realm is an out-and-out treasure trove.

If you can completely attack the Ancestral Secret Realm, then you have a chance to reverse the situation.

As for whether Finn's old fox would lie, King Grona wasn't too worried.

First of all, before getting the benefits, he and the Lodbroke royal family would never make a rash move.

Secondly, both parties have contractual restrictions, and he does not believe that the other party dares to challenge the contract.

However, the King of Grona was very curious about what Finn Sterry could do to help him completely conquer the Twin Axe Realm.

It doesn't sound like the usual approach.

The Kingdom of Grona didn't have a clue about this.

After getting up and pacing for a moment, he suddenly stopped and said earnestly to the messenger.

"Go back and deliver my words to Lord Finn."

"The Lodbrock royal family is willing to form a bloody alliance with the House of Stelee."

"But he has to live up to what he promised."

Hear King Grona give an affirmative answer.

The fat messenger suddenly smiled in his face.

The fat on his face trembled, and he bowed excitedly.

"I'm glad you're allied with the Sturley family."

"This decision is beneficial for both parties!"

"Actually, Mistress Finn knew you would agree before I left."

"So he asked me to tell you."

"After seven Naroya, you can meet in the Wild Bee Village outside the Miles Snow Forest on the border between the two places."

"That's the territory of the Snow Barbarians."

"But the Sturry family has a very good relationship with that snow barbarian tribe."

"As long as you show the twin axe marks representing the Nord Kingdom, those barbarians will not dare to stop you."

King Grona regained his composure and only nodded slightly.

From the outside, he doesn't seem to care about Finn's thoughts.

Seeing his expression, the fat messenger did not dare to say anything, and bowed and bowed.

When the fat messenger left.

In place, Groner narrowed his eyes again.

He had to admit that Finn Sterley was indeed a clever and cunning fellow.

He had already expected before he sent the messenger that Groner would simply reject these offers.

Therefore, the meeting place of the two sides will be set up in advance.

This determination made him feel very jealous.

Working with the old fox is a dangerous thing.

There may be a conspiracy behind the gains.

"Cunning fox."

King Grona couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.

It is well known that a shrewd businessman never trades at a loss.

In every respect, the request for a bloody alliance seems to have been taken advantage of by the Lodbroke royal family.

But is that really the case?

The Kingdom of Grona has reservations about this.

But in any case, the other party did offer a price that he couldn't refuse.

This made him even if he was faintly vigilant, he couldn't refuse at all.

The temptation of the Raiders Double Axe Holy Realm to him was huge.

So far, we can only remain vigilant and take one step at a time.

He wanted to see what poison was in Finn's gourd.

As for the supplementary plan of the Kingdom Alliance, it is only temporarily shelved.

While maintaining foreign relations, it is necessary to ensure internal defense, and it is necessary to spare a tight force to support the Steli family in the kingdom war.

This must have left the Lodbrock royal family extremely empty.

Therefore, how to arrange it has become a very important science.

He sat quietly in the parlor for a long, long time.

Knowing that the morning bell had struck the rising sun, King Ragnar suddenly got up.

He returned to the chamber.

The energetic ministers were still arguing fiercely.

King Grona, however, intends to withdraw the issue.

His private contacts with the Sterley family have not yet been made public.

Because perhaps one of these ministers who have been delegated is from the Kingdom of Virginia in the north.

Although this probability is relatively low.

But it cannot be directly ruled out.

He was going to meet with Finn himself first.

Then make the final decision.

Aware.

King Grona immediately reverted to his previous energetic and heroic appearance.

……

In addition to the major Terran kingdoms.

Many alien races, as well as large and small alliances, have also become chaotic.

The news of "Doom Day" quietly spread in the upper echelons.

Everyone is like a great enemy.

The usual friction between forces has become more acute.

This made the atmosphere of the entire Naroa continent gradually become unusual.

And in the Misty Mountains, Chen didn't care about everything.

His principle is still that the car will block and the water will cover the earth.

It doesn't matter what the fight looks like outside, he just needs to take care of his own affairs with peace of mind.

Right now, for example, he was driving in a Gass half-track, leading the expedition to the last marked point in the Misty Mountains.

The six-pointed star is marked with a warning of "Extreme Danger".

This made Chen Xuan vigilant and decided to try his best to be careful about dealing with possible crises.

The strategy process of the previous elemental strange land was certainly smooth.

But that was by no means a reason for him to let his guard down on the six-pointed star marker.

Staying in awe is also his way of survival.

From the misty forest at the foot of the mountain back to the mountain path.

After spending more than two water clocks before and after, he finally vaguely saw his destination.

At this moment, the darkness in the sky is fading and the sun is rising, so it is not too bright.

The destination is a valley.

It was shrouded in an extremely thick mist.

The fog was eerie, and when he looked at it, it was as if his spirit was being attracted.

It was as if there was some kind of spiritual vortex there, which could pull his spirit wantonly.

To be on the safe side, he stopped the gas half-track truck five kilometers away, and maintained a wait-and-see attitude, while everyone took out their energy to replenish their exerted physical strength.

In caution and awe, he did not rush closer.

Instead, a large drone was removed from the storage compartment.

The drones are both five meters long, comparable to a small car, with rotors on both sides.

The front end is oval-shaped, and it is a rainbow series of rabbits.

It's just a relatively low-end Rainbow-3 integrated drone.

But its low end is only relative, knowing that Rabbit has been invested in drones for more than two decades.

The level is considered to be the first-class Blue Star.

Even if the Rainbow-3 is a low-end model of the foreign trade model, the function and quality are still not bad.

Relying on the temporary base point, under the condition of satellite positioning, it can only be said that it is overkill to reconnoiter the valley five kilometers away.

It was far stronger than the two small civilian drones that Chen Xuan had brought with him when he first came to Naroya.

It took more than half an hour to level out the runway of the drone and lay the base points.

Zong Shen sat in front of the small console and personally controlled this Rainbow-3 Chada integrated drone!
