Chapter 1: Goodbye Old Friend
After becoming the Demon Emperor of the Abyss, Dick issued a series of orders to all the Abyss Demons, including not to invade the Miro Empire, to recuperate and prepare for war, and so on.
Then he used the magic power of the Holy Realm to sketch out the magic array of teleportation, and returned to the prince's palace in the imperial capital of Mirrok. He immediately recruited Pro, Gold, Landas, Sna and other cronies. Inquire about the current state of the empire and the situation on the mainland.
Prolo stood up from his chair, bowed slightly to Dick, and then said, "Lord Qiyu, in the past few days of your absence, the situation in the empire has been quite stable, and there have been no major incidents.
However, a major event has happened in the Theseus Empire, the Great Antonio has died two days ago, several princes of the Theseus Empire have each recruited their cronies and generals to start a civil war in order to compete for the throne, and the current Theseus Empire can be said to have been divided, among which the largest group of Shili is the eldest prince Daniel, who has the support of the Faun Empire behind him, and several other princes are being beaten and fleeing in all directions. ”
Dick immediately remembered that more than half a year ago, when the three empires held an eight-way competition, the great prince Daniel had sent an envoy to the Miro Empire to ask Edward VII to send troops to support, but he found a reason to refuse.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't borrow troops from Miro, so he turned his target to the Faun Empire.
However, Dick knows Yax's personality too well to be profitable. Even if Daniel succeeds in ascending to the throne with Faun's forces, he will be nothing more than a puppet emperor in the future.
Compared to these, Dick is still more concerned about McFarlane's safety.
Just then, Elf Landas stepped forward. He poured a cup of tea for Dick, and at the same time he gave Dick a wink. Dick was puzzled. But he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask.
Everyone expressed their views on the situation on the mainland and the rebellion of the Theseus Empire.
Sna took a sip of tea and said, "I think." Since the Faun Empire can openly support the Grand Prince Daniel, then I, the Miro Empire, can also intervene in this war. And it has to be fast! The situation is changing rapidly, and if you wait until the dust settles to fight for it, it will be too late. ”
"I don't think so. Gold stood up and said loudly, "My Miro Empire has experienced so many wars in the past year or so, it is really not appropriate to fight again, now should be the stage of recuperation, and the new emperor Mi Bixia has not long been on the throne." The people's hearts are undecided. It is really not suitable to send troops at this time. ”
Provo smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, can I tell me my opinion? The reason why the Faun Empire was able to send troops confidently was because they were famous in their divisions, and they had the prince Daniel, the eldest prince on the table, so they did not call sending troops invasion, but borrowed troops to rebel. If the name is not right, the word is not good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done. If we want to be involved, we have to find a suitable excuse. ”
Landas's words were the simplest: "My elven clan has suffered heavy losses in more than a year, and I personally do not approve of sending troops. ”
......
The meeting lasted several hours. Everyone has their own opinions and speaks freely. Dick listened to it, but he didn't say anything because he didn't know what was going on as a newcomer.
When the meeting was over, the crowd dispersed. Dick ordered Landus to stay. And they had no doubts, and went straight away.
"Landath, what do you mean by the winks you made at me just now?" In addition to being Dick's general, Landas was also his partner and friend. Comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side.
"Dick, this matter cannot be said for the time being. Therefore, I don't want anyone other than you and me to know, and I will wait until you understand the situation. Landas pondered his words.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Dick.
"You'll find out with me. Landas said.
The two of them quietly walked out of the prince's palace through the back door, without attracting anyone's attention, and Landas took Dick around the streets of the imperial capital of Mirrock, and walked for an unknown number of roads. All Dick knew was that they were now on the edge of the slums of Millrok City.
Dick couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to ask again, when Landas whispered, "It's here!"
His figure stopped in front of a deep, narrow alley. Dick followed him to the mouth of the alley, and he looked inside, but the alley was too dark and dark. The light of the street lamps was blocked by the heavy buildings. He doesn't see anything famous when he sees it this way.
Dick was wondering when he saw Landas step into the alley, and the sound of his footsteps echoing through the alley, adding to the darkness and gloom of the alley. Dick followed in and walked in after Landas. The alleys filled the alley with a foul stench mixed with the smell of alcohol, sweat, garbage, and grease. There are a lot of bricks on the walls on both sides that are loose and falling.
Landas led Dick all the way to the end of the alley, where there was a low door. A lot of the red paint on the door has peeled off, revealing the brown and yellow wood color, and there is a large hole in the door.
Landas walked over to the door and knocked lightly. "Who!" said a middle-aged man's voice.
"It's me, Landas. Landas replied.
A young man's voice sounded in the room again: "It's Landas! Thor, open the door and invite him in." ”
"Yes, follow your orders!" the door creaked open, and a middle-aged man and a handsome young man stood in the doorway.
"McFarland!" exclaimed Dick. Standing at the door were none other than McFarland and Thor, who had come to the Miro Empire with Hawke to protect McFarlane.
"Dick, I really didn't expect you to see me so down. McFarlane smiled wryly.
"Landas, how can you arrange for McFarlane to live in a place like this!" Dick said slightly angrily.
McFaran hurriedly spoke: "Dick, please don't blame him, this is my own request, there are many people in the upper class of Miro who know me, and living in the slums can save a lot of trouble." ”
Dick and Landas entered the house, and the four of them sat opposite each other and talked at length......
“...... I see," said Dick, "then, Antonio the Great's intention was for you to inherit the throne, but several of your royal brothers have joined forces to persecute you because of this. ”
Macfarland's eyes flashed with a little anger and helplessness, and said: "Actually, I am used to being free by nature, but I don't want to be bound by the throne. But the eldest brother he actually ...... He actually colluded with the foreign enemies of the Faun Empire! For this reason, he was angry and killed his father, this is absolutely unforgivable! He must pay the price for his actions!"
Dick pinched his chin and groaned, "McFarlane, I think I can help you." ”
McFarlane shook his head and said, "Dick, very much your kindness, but it's really hard for you to start a war because of my personal reasons." ”
"No, no, my friend, please believe that this will not embarrass me, for even if nothing happens to you, I will send troops to Xiusi. Dick glanced at McFarland. Then he briefly told the other three people in the room about Demichra.
“...... So, McFarlane, not only did you not cause me trouble, but you also gave me an excuse to send troops to the Empire of Hughes and attack the Church of Light. Dick said.
McFarlane smiled, "I'd love to see what kind of woman could make our Prince Dick fall in love with." As soon as he said this, the room burst into laughter. Dick blushed and said angrily, "McFarlane, shut up, we're talking about serious things!"
"Okay, I won't say it. McFarlane waved his hand, and after such a small joke, the dreary atmosphere in the room was swept away.
Dick spoke, "McFarlane, tomorrow I will take you to meet Mitt Bixia and ask him to send troops to the Empire of Huth. ”
"Dick, really you!" said McFarlane, sincerely.
Dick laughed, "Do we still want to talk like this between us?, well, since it has been decided, you don't want to live in this place, go to my prince's palace." (To be continued......)
