"So, we now have a new ally?"

In the Castle of Fog, Buckler yawned lazily.

After tossing and turning all night, no one expected that the final result would be like this.

Frankish Crown Prince Richard Kleiman confirmed that Sisserda Danielle had been with him that night. As for why they are together, Hue explains that it was actually at the behest of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness the Princess hopes to communicate more with Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince about marriage, but it is obvious that she herself is not suitable to come forward, and there is a lack of people around her who can "trust", so she entrusts herself with a very important matter. So Siseda Daniel and Prince Richard got together smoothly.

This reason can be confirmed by Princess Avril herself.

She did entrust Young Master Siseldardanelle with something to do—to get Prince Frank to accept a stand-in, and all they needed anyway was an excuse to cede the land and appease the anger of the people.

Of course, neither Thu himself, nor Princess Avril Lavril nor Prince Richard will say what they are talking about, and when it comes to political decision-making, everyone will not bother to ask.

And so the lie came to fruition.

In turn, the nobles of the upper class, who had always been sensitive, heard something.

One, Her Royal Highness the princess values this young master Dardanelle very much. Second, Her Royal Highness the princess is dissatisfied with the people around her. Because she lacks people she can "trust". The phrase apparently meant something else, and everyone thought of Padget.

It seems that Her Royal Highness is very dissatisfied with her own bodyguard.

In addition, Prince Richard seems to admire the young master of the Dardanelles very much, and praises him. From this point of view, this also means that Her Royal Highness the princess's commission seems to have been completed by the little heir of the family who has been trying to break into the upper circle.

In other words, after tonight, the Dardanelles family has officially risen to the upper echelons of the Reims Empire.

There is no more support than that of Her Royal Highness the Princess, isn't it?

As for Raschel, there is no denying that he is indeed very capable.

But he still suffered a great defeat - he failed to capture Huigler, but he lost his troops and suffered numerous casualties. The palace has been attacked, the princess has been kidnapped, and now an attempt is being made to "frame" a small heiress of the family who "has no background".

It looks like he's not going to get any better in the days ahead.

If before tonight, the Department of Justice valued him, Huey ignored him. Then after tonight, it will be Xiu Yi who values him, and the empire will ignore him.

Only Hue Igler himself and his friends know how difficult Raschel is to deal with an old fox.

With only a little clue, he found himself out, and with only one shot, he forced Xiu Yi to mess up and almost ruined the good situation he had so far.

But it was because of this that Huey realized that he needed to make a change.

Obviously, Xiu Yi has gone one step further than when he just left Purgatory Island.

He became more steady and planned. Because he has already understood a truth.

"The world is not an island. On Purgatory Island, I can only move forward, not backward, I have no choice, once I lose, it will be death. But in the whole world, sometimes we have to prepare for failure. The world is very big, even if we fail, as long as we don't hurt our vitality, we can make a comeback. This is my biggest realization since I left Purgatory Island. Huey sighed and said, "I'm glad we were able to find someone to save everything in time this time, otherwise our best outcome now would have been to kill Winrington all the way." ”

"When did Richard Kleiman contact you?"

"After I send Avril back......"

That's when Huey began to talk about his birth that night.

—————————

After Avril returned to the Royal Garden, Xiu Yi had already planned to set up a teleportation circle, and was ready to flee as soon as it was revealed. The reason why he wanted to see Avril once first, in addition to needing her to pass on the word, was also an important reason that he hoped that she could understand his plight, so that when they escaped, it would be relatively easy if Avril had Avril's covert help.

But what Huey didn't expect was Chakle.

In the battle of Clear Water Street, although Xiu Yi failed to eliminate the opponent as planned, he finally succeeded in helping Chaklee escape. Chakra was able to escape, on the one hand, because Raschel could not detain him on the spot in the absence of evidence, so that he maintained the opportunity to use force, on the other hand, because of Xiu's action, and on the other hand, there was also an important reason that Raschel and others immediately paid less attention to Chakra after Xiu Yi appeared.

But what no one expected was that while these two parties were wrestling, there was also a star-level powerhouse hidden behind the scenes.

This person was the sword-wielding powerhouse Bihavic, one of the two star warriors of the Frank Empire, who had followed the girl Emilia at the beginning.

Richard Kleiman is going to come to the Reims Empire to marry Avril, and it is naturally impossible for him to be guarded by a strong man by his side. Bihavic is the most important protector, responsible for defending the crown prince and clearing all possible potential threats. It's just that he is not only shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the crown prince, but also has a task even more than protecting the prince, which is to find Xiu Yiglaire.

For the Frank Empire, the Reims Empire, which was once militarily ordinary, has developed rapidly and powerful militarily in recent years, and half of this is due to the fact that they have a large army of puppets. These puppet legions have excellent combat capabilities, and they have little need for logistics, they are not afraid of death in battle, and they are absolutely obedient to command, not necessarily the most fearsome troops on the frontal battlefield, but they must be the best troops. The appearance of the Demon Spirit Legion as an assassination corps, with low cost, poisonous means, strong force, and ability to avoid vindictive search, once set off a bloody storm in the Frank Empire, killing countless middle and grass-roots legions, and also brought great trouble to the Franks.

The middle and grass-roots regiments are the link between the generals and the soldiers, but they do not have guards around them like the senior generals, and once they lose a large number, it will cause the inflexibility of the command system during the operation.

Two legions, one strengthened the frontal battlefield of the Reims Empire, and the other weakened the enemy's strength, and the Frank Empire was forced to retreat one after another.

They also tried to find the mysterious origin of these two legions more than once, but to no avail, until the appearance of Huy Gler, rumors began to spread, and the secret gradually surfaced.

For any country, whoever can have Huyiglare will be able to increase its military power.

Thankfully, the Reims Empire has clearly made a big mistake on this issue. They misassessed the gravity of the situation, believing that it was impossible for Huigler to escape the Empire's pursuit, and that if they found him, they would be able to recoup all their losses.

So at first, they were not willing to negotiate with Huey.

Of course, it is impossible for any country to negotiate with a fugitive in the first place, and negotiation is always a mere means to be used when force fails to achieve the intended goal.

As a result, they were hit by one blow after another.

Huey's outstanding performance was seen by the Francks, who were very clever in adjusting their tactics, and did not intend to forcibly kidnap Huey, but decided to use the method of co-opting and buying.

It was under this premise that Frank ceded the three groups of land by intermarriage, otherwise how could they so easily agree to the Reims Empire to take the three groups of land like this?

To negotiate with Xiui, it is necessary to have domestic heavyweights come forward to show sincerity.

And it is very difficult for such a person to walk freely within the boundaries of the enemy country, and to keep it completely secret, and the best way is to intermarry and then appear openly on the territory of the enemy country.

So Richard came, with a special mission.

Even before he arrived, Emmelia, the famous master of the Frank Empire, came to the Reims Empire with Bihavic to search for Huy Glare.

When they learned that Hue Igler had publicly threatened to go to Winrington, they could imagine the joy in their hearts.

When Hue attacked the palace, Richard Kleiman immediately ordered Bihavich to find a way to contact Huey. As an outsider, Bihavic clearly saw that Huey's attack on the palace could only be a cover, and he was not so capable of assassinating Emperor Stricker. In fact, it wasn't just him who could see that Huey's attack on the palace was pointless, but the problem was that it was impossible for all the Reims people except the Franks to say it. On the contrary, they want to take the opportunity to show their loyalty, so even if they see it, they will only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

That was why the Director of Justice, Marquis Lentino Jacobs, had agreed to bring back Raschel's men at once – he did not want to be told in the future that the palace was under attack, and that his men were close at hand, but they would not come to the rescue. The reason is because of the ridiculousness, and it is likely that Huigler is planning to divert the tiger from the mountain.

That would be a bargaining chip for his political enemies to attack him.

Whether it was Huey, Marquis Lentino Jacobs, Bihavic, or whatever, the vast majority of aristocratic officials were well aware of this. This is a willingness to fight, a willingness to suffer, Xiu Yibu has a scam, the other party is willing to be fooled, and if he sees through it, he will be fooled, then no one can do anything, the unlucky one is only Raschel, and all his plans have been hit hard.

After Marquis Lentino Jacobs ordered Raschel to return to the palace, Bihavic immediately realized that Raschel's troops were probably the real target of Huey, although he did not know why. But with this guess, he immediately went to find Raschel's men.

Then he witnessed with his own eyes the battle on the streets of Shimizu.

With his identity as a star powerhouse, he wants to hide, even if he is also a star powerhouse, Hampton, he can't think of showing the other party.

So when Chakra fled, he finally understood what had happened.

When Chakra escaped, he even secretly helped, but no one saw it.

When Chakra was out of danger, he wanted to find a place to rest and wait for Huey to find him before thinking about what to do next. It was at this time that Bihavic appeared, took Chakle on the spot, and took him to meet Richard Kleiman.

After assuring Chakle that the Franks had absolutely no bad intentions towards Hueyglare, Chakra took the initiative to contact Hue and make an appointment with Huey for Richard Kleiman.

The rest of the matter began to fall into place.

Richard Kleiman hopes to cooperate with Huey and buy some alchemy and special resources from Huey.

"So you promised him?" asked Lilith nervously.

"Nope. To Lilith's surprise, Huey shook his head, "Lilith, I'm not a fool, I know what that means. My revenge may bring some trouble and pain to the Reims Empire, but at least it's not a complete disaster. If the Francks become stronger, the nature of things changes. They will enter the Reims Empire, destroy the country, and enslave the people here. The prince seemed to be a shrewd figure, but that didn't mean he had a good heart. Although I will kill some people, it does not mean that I will drag all innocents into the abyss of war. Especially...... I have not forgotten what you came to assassinate me for. ”

He looked at Lilith and smiled, "Do you think I'm going to do anything that disappoints you?"

Lilith's face flushed, but her heart was full of sweetness.

Yes, despite being a robber, Lilith is also a Lance. She doesn't have much affection for the royal family of the Empire, but she doesn't intend to sell her country.

It is one thing to take revenge on oneself, but it is another thing to collude with foreign enemies, which are completely different in nature and cannot be compared.

"Then why would he help you?"

Huey replied, "I don't support the Franks coming in, and I don't support the Lances coming in." For me, it would be a good thing if these two countries could maintain a balance in military power. So I won't give them technology, but I may give them some formed puppets that will help them neutralize the advantages of the Reims Empire. Of course, Prince Richard may not be happy with this result, but it is much better than me giving nothing. In particular, he has something to ask of me now. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Three groups of land. Xiu Yi said very seriously: "You don't really believe that the Franks will willingly hand over the three groups of land, right? Even if there is an excuse for a wedding, how many people can really be deceived? If they can, they don't want to hand over an inch of land." In contrast, marrying Avril is not at all in the eyes of the Franks. There will never be a beauty in this world who deserves so much land, even if she is an imperial princess. ”

"I see. Buckler nodded: "So today, he helped us ......"

"One, I helped them force the Reims Empire to give up their territorial claims, of course, they also needed their own cooperation, as well as Avril's cooperation. Second, I only have scarce resources at hand, but very few ordinary resources. They provide a huge amount of ordinary resources, I provide scarce resources and technology, and we work together to produce puppets. Half of the puppets produced belong to them, and half to me. Third, the Frank Empire will be our greatest backing from now on, and if one day, we fail and have nowhere to go, we can flee to the Frank Empire. There we will be true aristocrats, with all that we want to have. That's what I said earlier...... A retreat, a retreat prepared for failure. ”

"I don't want to go to Frank. "Lilith.

"No one wants to have a way out, but no one doesn't want to have a good way out. ”

This made sense, and Buckler nodded: "I think that's good." Francos are able to provide us with many resources, wealth, and conditions that we do not have. If you grasp the art of alchemy and only provide the finished product, they will always need you and will not betray you. But how are you going to force the Reims Empire to give up the three groups of lands?"

"It's very simple, I gave Richard Kleiman a space ring with the deadline engraved on it, it's this year. Xiu Yi said with a grin.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Many things can be very simple, just whether you want to do it or not.

What is the Lance Empire most afraid of? It's not that he won't get what Xiu Yi has, but that he will give it to other countries.

A spatial ring can say a lot of things, such as that Huy Gler has become good friends with the Francks.

In this case, Xiuyi's value has really been reflected, and the Reims Empire, which was originally invincible, was furious to capture Xiuyi and snatch everything back even if it suffered a big loss, this time I am afraid that it will really panic and be afraid.

In this case, many things are really no longer negotiable.

If the three groups of territories are abandoned, it can be guaranteed that those resources and alchemy will not fall into the hands of the Franks, and they may really agree, and Avril's crisis will be solved.

In fact, at this very moment, Richard Kleiman was already in the palace.

He was playing with the ring, which was, in Christine's words, ugly and tasteless, and flaunting it in front of Emperor Stricker.

Of course, he didn't say that it was a gift from Huey, only that it was given to him by a golden boy who suddenly appeared before he came to Winlington.

This is enough for His Majesty the Emperor to vomit blood.

Of course, negotiations will not be immediately fruitful, and political matters will always have to go through a lot of back-and-forth. Xiu Yi will work hard at the right time and put forward some conditions that belong to him. Anyway, everything started to turn for the better.

"So, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before the Reims Empire will revoke your arrest?" asked Lilith. She didn't know if this was good news or bad news.

"Yes, but it should be a secret. Huey said: "On the surface, it will still be maintained. This is what Richard told me, he was the crown prince and understood political needs better than I did. Some things never fit on the table. ”

"Then you're not going to continue your revenge?" Buckler was still sensitive to the problem.

Xiu Yi sighed: "Where is the so-called revenge? All actions are just catharsis." The Battle of Clearwater Street taught me many things, in this magical world, only power is eternal. I should continue to pursue power, not simple intrigue and killing. It's been a year, and I'm a little tired of it. To be able to shake the Reims Empire, to be afraid, to spit out all the spoils in a war that is sure to be won, I should also be satisfied. ”

"Then those conditions ......"

Xiu Yi's face turned pale: "There are some principles, I will not change." ”

"But they wouldn't agree to officially announce the matter of Purgatory Island, even if the whole world already knew that it was another matter for them to admit it publicly. ”

"I know, as we said, there are some things that can never be put on the table. But I don't need to worry about headaches anymore. ”

"Why?"

"Richard Kleiman told me one thing. ”

"What?"

"Stricker's body is dead, he's dying. Xiu Yi said very seriously.

All of them are the same.

Xiu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm not interested in killing him, I just want them to admit their mistake and apologize." While Stricker was alive, this might have been impossible, but after his death, it became easy. The Francks will help me do this, that is, all the troubles will no longer be troubles, it is only a matter of time. So, you see, it's as simple as that. All at once, everything was settled. ”

"So ...... the Dardanelles"

"It doesn't matter anymore. Xiu Yi shrugged his shoulders, "It's ridiculous, isn't it, it took so much effort to keep the family we've worked so hard to build, but in the current situation, it really doesn't matter if it can still be used." It has fulfilled its mission by helping us to reach out to the most important goals and to know enough information to seize the opportunity to fulfill our needs. So it doesn't matter if it's still here to stay. Of course, for now, it also has a very important practical value, which is the alchemy factory jointly built with Dodge and San Marino Comptoirs. It will be the source of our wealth and the source of our strength. I'm going to secretly produce the puppets we need there, and really wield the value of the alchemist. ”

"You want to build an army of puppets? You've given up on revenge on the Empire, what do you want the legion to do?" Lilith wondered.

Huey blinked, "It's a big world, Lilith. On the path to the strong, never feel like your strength is enough. Let alone...... The battle is not over. Negotiations have only just begun, and I am still a wanted criminal. Even if the negotiations are successfully completed, I will not be without enemies for a long time to come. ”

As he spoke, he took out the brilliant sword and said meaningfully, "Maybe a more powerful enemy, of course, there are equally powerful allies. ”
