Section 177 Exchanges (I)
Tristan's next words reverted to the previous obscure tone, but what he meant, Solomon could still understand, and Titania had decided to fight back.
However, it did not directly declare war on the Saxon kingdom, but aimed at the city-state alliance and the Eastern Beast Alliance.
The former is entirely guilty, the city-state alliance is quite commercially developed, and the financial industry is also starting to develop in the wake of Asturias, where the people are quite good at learning, and a company called the Bank of Milan is on the rise, which is said to have attracted the attention of the Rose Bank.
However, the city-state alliance did not have a strong army and a strong man who could suppress the state, and they were able to survive in the cracks because the powerful forces contained each other and could build a buffer.
And now Titania is ready to no longer want this buffer, but directly take it into its own hands, and take the commercial resources of the city-state alliance for itself.
As for the Eastern Beast Alliance, it is also a good entry point. The Eastern Beast Alliance is an unstable cause, they have worked with Titania, but more often with the Aurora Empire, which has also been distant and distant in recent decades.
Titania wasn't sure if the Church of Light and the Saxon Kingdom would intervene if they attacked the Aurora Empire, but if it was the Eastern Beast Alliance, it would be very likely that the Church of Light would sit idly by, because they didn't like orcs, and it was difficult for orcs to convert to the celestial faith.
But for Titania, this is a good test, if it is just the Aurora Empire to aid the Eastern Beast Alliance, Titania will never mind taking the opportunity to weaken the other party.
Tristan's purpose here is to implicitly reveal it to the Asturian leadership. Deliver informal messages. Titania did this based on its own needs. But objectively, it is also beneficial to Asturias, so I hope that Asturias will give up any plans to take advantage of the fire to rob or plot, so as not to damage the now precious "friendship" between the two countries.
Such assurances on the government, especially impossible, are not formal, and of course unreliable, even if they are formal allies, driven by interests. There are the same treachery, betrayal.
However, this does not mean that there is no need for such political negotiations at all, and it does not mean that there is no need for formal covenants or secret covenants at all.
Because at least the threshold for betrayal can be made a little higher, for example, in the absence of any in-depth negotiations, in the case that Asturias does not know the strategic direction of Titania at all, if there is a stalemate or some kind of unfavorable state in the war in Titania, it is difficult to say that no one will take action immediately, such as Thai Fadel?
It must have been a tragedy for such a thing to happen, because Titania was convinced that it would not fail, and the "stupidity" and impatience of the bystanders only caused passivity on both sides.
But if there is a clear understanding of the common interests beforehand, then the allies or some people who have common interests will be more patient. Don't make the wrong judgment that embarrassed Titannia and made the Church of Light happy as soon as there was a stir.
That's what Tristan really came for.
Solomon pondered for a moment. Then he also expressed Asturias's attitude in the same veil, to Tristan's general satisfaction.
Solomon's attitude means that Asturias will not be hindered in the strategy that Titania is about to start, and will not take the opportunity to seek benefits similar to that of Thai Fadel if Titania encounters resistance.
However, Solomon also put forward an unexpected condition for Tristan, that is, in the same way, if Asturias acted against some people who clearly violated the interests of the kingdom, he also hoped that Titania would not have any involvement in it.
The street leading from the dormitory to the National Academy of Wizarding had been pre-cleared, and the nearby streets were lined with patrolling soldiers, resisting civilians who were still curious and wanted to see the High Elves with their own eyes.
The members of the High Elf Legate stepped out of the house in the quarter, with the Elf King at the front, flanked by Maxim the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon Lady, as well as two High Druids.
After discussion, the envoys had unanimously agreed to follow Oliver's idea as an outline, and return to the Elven Court and their respective tribes.
A preliminary plan was drawn up to stay in Asturias for a few more days, firstly, to make a final effort to convince the Kingdom of Asturias, and secondly, to further investigate the strength of this kingdom.
The envoy would then go to the forest inhabited by the wood elves in the west under the pretext of visiting the elves of the Wรจn clan.
There, it will be the last stop of the envoys, and the Great Elf King has decided to play chess in advance before leaving.
For example, he will leave at least three hundred of the five hundred High Elves with him, and he persuaded the Golden Dragon Maxim and the Silver Dragon Lady to stay and help the Wood Elves defend, so as not to have an accident with the Wood Elves in the blank time when he and the others have left and the army of the High Elves has not come.
The two high-ranking druids also volunteered to leave one behind, and there were druids in the Far West, and if he stayed, he could also contact the remnants of the druids and the wood elves to help each other.
As for going to the National Magic Academy now, it is part of the envoy group to investigate the strength of this human state.
The army of Asturias, it is estimated that the kingdom will not let the envoys come into contact lightly, and rash contact is also easy to arouse suspicion and conflict between the two sides.
But asking to visit the other party's National Magic Academy is a legitimate reason, because the envoys of the High Elves have already expressed their worries about the magic path of Asturias, if they refuse such a request, the relationship between the two sides will only be further strained, and even break down directly, at this time, there is also the Duke of Alvarez sent by Titania to accompany it, and Titania's face is gone, so the High Elves think that Asturias will not be so unwise, and should agree to this request.
In fact, Solomon also immediately responded and agreed, the High Elves just wanted to understand part of the strength of Asturias, of course, the secrets of the kingdom in the Magic Academy would not be shown to them, but there was one thing that was shown to them.
That's the Elven Chess.
So the High Elf envoys were directly brought to the Academy's Magic Chess Department, and after the Academy of Magic became the National Magic Academy, the scale expanded a lot, and the Magic Chess Department also developed.
However, the High Elves could not tell the difference from the previous ones, because they were here for the first time.
Oliver sneered, the elven magic chess was originally learned by the human race from the high elves, and now it was actually shown in front of himself and others.
In the Emerald Continent, the leaders of the High Elves also have to learn the magic chess, because this can be used to simulate the battle, and in the elf magic chess, the High Elves also think that they are the most powerful.
Perhaps dissatisfied with Asturias' arrangement, Alfredo, the elf king who was a little less patient, proposed to enter the magic chess.
Alfredo, accompanied by the Duke of Alvarez, stayed in a chess room, while the rest of the legation continued to visit the chess department under the guidance of the mage in charge of the magic chess department.
After visiting for a while, Oliver took advantage of the time he had taken to accompany the mage to leave a little, and he stood in the window corridor on the floor, and sighed to Grace, "Along the way, I have to admit that they have taken a new path in architecture, manufacturing, magic, and education, but unfortunately this is based on the final destruction. โ
From the window, he looked at the blast furnaces in the distance, and the black smoke rising from the sky filled the suburbs, like monsters with teeth and claws, surrounding the city of Saint-Quentin.
Even in the process of development, Solomon slowly and consciously extended the industrial area outward, but the development of industrialization still inevitably pollutes the environment.
In the eyes of the High Elves, this is simply another heinous crime.
Grace nodded slightly, in terms of sensitivity to the environment, the Silver Dragon Clan's attitude was stricter than that of the Golden Dragon Clan.
They talked in a low voice, then returned to the chess room, only to find Alfredo in a state of excitement.
Alvarez smiled bitterly on the side, it turned out that the Great Elf King not only entered the magic chess, but also asked the magic chess management department for a temporary identity, and he personally left the game.
This would give a look at Asturias' military command capabilities, he said. Alevares said with a wry smile, in his opinion, this is a bit of a bully, that is a dignified elf king.
Oliver was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hehe, his temperament is like this, and he is also like this when he is on the Emerald Continent. The strength of the magic chess itself is not absolute, and with Alfredo's character, it should not take advantage of this. โ
Listening to Oliver's understatement, Alvarez was a little surprised, and he vaguely felt that Oliver seemed to be pushing the boat along the water, supporting Alfredo's "nonsense".
However, Alfredo did not take advantage of his own strength, he did not use the projection modeling of his own strength, but used a random elven hero model.
By the time the envoys returned to the chess room, Alfredo had already swept through the Lesser Arcana district, where the academy students usually stayed.
A new legend has been set off in this academy, reminiscent of the tyrant of many years ago.
In the sea of spirits in the magic chess, students and teachers are all asking about the origin of this elven hero, and they are all discussing, and the information of spiritual manifestation is flowing like a mass.
Instead of being angry, he began to call friends, calling players who were better than him to challenge this elven hero chess player that he had never heard of before, but the result was a fiasco.
Oliver watched with satisfaction as Alfredo defeated a Terran hero chess player who had been called again, turned to the mage of the Magic Chess Management Department who was in a cold sweat and said, "I know you don't want us to visit the rest of the academy, so okay, let's stay here, hehe, you can relay the news to Prime Minister Solomon." โ
Alfredo left a line in the Sea of Spirits, "I will enter the Greater Arcana district, welcome to come and challenge." (To be continued......)
