Nathaniel looked at the trembling Iron Mask with admiration on his face, and said with a solemn expression: "Lord Iron Mask is really a role model for us, but you still have to pay attention to your body." Iron Mask coughed even more when he heard this, and even left a 'moved' tear in the corner of his eye.

Wang Yong almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but in order to cover it up, Wang Yong hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I think so, if Your Highness Nathaniel is willing to stand up to the Luz Empire, I will try to minimize the killing and capture all those who are qualified to inherit the throne, and of course, your father." And you, you have to take on the responsibility of the emperor, make the right choice, and then lead the subjects below to live a happy life. Nathaniel did not reply, and bowed his head in silence.

Wang Yong knew that it was taboo to kill his father and seize the throne, even if this Nathaniel was stupid, he would not risk the world's great inaction, so Wang Yong explained: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your father, just invite him to come and live for a few days, and I won't embarrass him, and when you completely control the Luz Empire, if you want, you can also take him back to fulfill your filial piety." ”

Nathaniel did not have the last psychological burden, raised his head and said to Wang Yong: "I understand what you mean, I can guarantee that if I inherit the throne, our Luz Empire will definitely make friends with the Aier Empire and the Coastal Province, and will never become enemies." However, even if I return to the empire and take over the imperial power, it is not something that I can do overnight to get the officials and nobles below to obey my orders, after all, I have no merits before, and it is difficult to convince the public. ”

Wang Yong smiled and said, "You can rest assured of this, I will help you." As he spoke, he took out the map and spread it on the bed and said, "Your Luz Empire borders the Reis Empire, and you have a lot of military strength and a lot of air troops, if you succeed to the throne, you can take your army to occupy part of the land of the Reis Empire." Isn't it a great achievement to expand the territory of the Luz Empire?"

Nathaniel frowned and said, "The current pattern of the continent, if it can be expanded, it will definitely be a great achievement. However, the strength of the Reis Empire is no worse than our Luz Empire, and they are an unbreakable offensive and defensive alliance with the Roy Kingdom and the Scott Empire, and there is no chance of winning with our strength. ”

Wang Yong didn't expect this Nathaniel to know so much about the affairs between the major empires, although he was a little surprised, but he still explained: "I can tell you part of our plan, our coastal province will send 3,000 special operations soldiers. It's the kind of troops you saw at the beginning, attacking or capturing the heads of the three countries of Lacey, Roy, and Scott, and destroying their border forts. If so, are you sure you will occupy part of the Lacey Empire?"

Hearing this, Nathaniel looked at the map seriously, and then nodded for a long time and said, "If that's the case, I'm confident that I can expand the territory of the empire, but what about the territories of Roy and Scott?"

Wang Yong smiled slightly and said, "I said Nathaniel, don't be too greedy, from the geographical location." The territory of the three countries is occupied by your Luz Empire, not to mention whether other countries agree or not, but when you talk about the form of your empire, it will be difficult to defend. How many troops do you have to recruit to defend the borders? Also, you have to leave some favor for others, right? Otherwise, how can you silence the countries that can't get a bargain?"

Nathaniel smiled and said, "Hehe, it's me who is greedy, with the strength of our Ruz Empire. At most, it can digest half of the land of the Lacey Empire, and if it is more, it will cause a drag on the mainland. ”

Wang Yong nodded. However, he suddenly reacted, how could this second lord know so much about the affairs of the Luz Empire, and he still said the truth? Wang Yong now has some doubts about whether this Nathaniel is really a careerist who is obscure? Through his divine sense, Wang Yong asked Tie Mian: "Old Tie, am I looking away, is this guy really hidden?"

Iron Mask said uncertainly: "I don't know either, but you also heard the evaluation of the two alchemists just now, this thing is definitely an uneducated and lustful scum in their empire." ”

Wang Yong sighed and said: "Alas, forget it, there is no other way now, whether it is good or bad will be clear after he inherits the throne, it's a big deal, let's have another beheading operation." ”

Seeing that Wang Yong looked at him for a long time without speaking, Nathaniel asked curiously, "Lord Ivan, is there anything wrong?"

Wang Yong laughed, patted Nathaniel's shoulder and said, "No, what you said is very good, I'll just say it, you are definitely a very talented person, and now you can't fool me anymore." Nathaniel's face was flushed by Wang Yong's words, it was not that he deliberately concealed it, but that he had not thought about it at all, and those words just now were just a casual sentence from him, he didn't expect the seaside lord to praise him so much, and his heart was naturally a little unnatural.

Nathaniel was about to explain, but Wang Yong waved his hand and said: "No need to explain, explanation is a cover-up, I don't care if you pretend to be stupid in front of others in the future, but don't pretend to be stupid in front of me, otherwise you won't treat me as a friend." ”

Nathaniel blushed and nodded, then suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief, "You treat me as a friend?"

Wang Yong showed a kindest smile and said: "The so-called things gather by like, people by groups, and people like us can naturally become friends." However, what made me decide to be friends with you is that you have the responsibility to stand up in times of the Empire's troubles, and you have a kind heart, remember which two elves you captured? They told me that they would have been embarrassed if you hadn't asked for your help, and that if you hadn't followed them all the way, maybe they would have been humiliated, and from that point on, you would have been my friend, of course, this is just my wishful thinking, it depends on your intentions. When Nathaniel heard this, tears welled up in his eyes.

Nathaniel was born in an imperial family, and lived in an intriguing environment since he was a child, and there could be no real friendship between those half-brothers and sisters, and when he grew up and lost his mother's care, he had nothing to do all day, and went out to do nonsense with a group of fox friends and dog friends, and there were a lot of friends who drank and meat, but most of those people were around him because of his identity, so to speak, Nathaniel never had even a real friend since he was a child.
