Lord of War

Vol 3 Chapter 448: Hasas Zoanton



  Hassas's brows were always frowning.

He looked at Cecilia's gaze very calmly. Even though he had some appreciation before, and then turned into admiration because of his appreciation, at this moment, the two sides at the negotiating table have completely different identities and positions, so it is naturally impossible to Some slack. Basically, the children of elite aristocrats from a large family like Hasas is absolutely impossible to cede a large margin because he loves the other party. Even if he likes Cecilia, his first principle must be ensured. I can reap the core benefits.

  Of course, this does not prevent him from admiring Cecilia's talents and abilities very much.

  Especially at this time, the more calm Hasas is, the more he can see Cecilia's potential and talent.

  In the Zoanton family, people with fighting talents will not be included in the evaluation of the family heirs. The only thing they need to consider is continuous practice to hit the legendary realm at the fastest speed. Because in the Millennium Covenant Empire, the powerful and powerful nobles are not limited to the Zuandun family. Even if they are now completely shuffled due to the civil strife, the old nobles like "survivors" have truly powerful backgrounds and strength-if you say , If the family itself can be regarded as the realm of strength, then these families must at least be close to the super power level.

The Zoanton family can stand for thousands of years in the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire. The **** and cruel battles here are naturally indispensable. It can be said that even under the leadership of the new emperor, there are still many emerging nobles and many survivors and old nobles. It is the enemy of the Zoanton family.

  This kind of enemy is not simply a political enemy. Many of them are enemies of interest. What's more, it is the family that was once used as a stepping stone by the Zoanton family, but some families have fallen and perished, some families have become loyal dogs of other powerful families, and even more families are experiencing After various ups and downs, it rises like a comet in an instant.

so. In order to ensure that the Zoanton family can continue to prosper, the family motto of the Zoanton family clearly stated that geniuses with fighting talents are not allowed to participate in the family's internal affairs. In the same way, those members of the Zoanton family who have no fighting talents but have other talents must provide all guarantees to these geniuses after taking charge of the family. So that their path of cultivation can be smooth. Become the guardian of the Zoanton family.

  Hasas, from an early age, has shown an excellent political sense and overall economic outlook. But unfortunately, he was unable to practice martial arts due to his weakness, and his magic talent was even zero. Because of this, he will become one of the candidates for the future successor of the Zoanton family, and even more because of this, so he learned about Cecilia's situation. I will appreciate her more and more.

  Cecilia not only possesses the same excellent political sense and judgment as him. She also possesses very good diplomatic methods. Although she is inferior to him in terms of the overall economic and trade construction, she relatively possesses military and strategic capabilities that Hassas does not possess. And more importantly, Cecilia is still a strong man in the sanctuary-she can still step into the sanctuary even when she has a lot of government affairs. This talent is no longer a simple "genius". can explain.

  According to the intelligence of the Zoanton family, if Cecilia does not fall due to an accident in the future, stepping into the legend is definitely a sure thing. As for the level of impact on the super power. No one dared to make any assessments and predictions.

  It can be said that Cecilia has the talent and ability. Enough to make anyone envy.

  This is also the real reason why Hasas can stay in the Void Duchy to pursue an offensive against Cecilia, while the Zoanton family has no intention of interfering. As long as Hasas can marry Cecilia, before his brother can find someone who is more talented and talented than Cecilia, he will be the first heir to the Zoanton family. . As for his sister, unless she gave up her candidate status as the successor of the Zoanton family, she would not be able to marry—the Zoanton family never let the position of the patriarch fall into the hands of other bloodliners.

  But it was different from what the Zoanton family expected.

  Hassas himself is very clear, how can Cecilia, who possesses such an outstanding talent and talent, be willing to accept others. He originally thought that the marriage should be regarded as a strong alliance, and Cecilia had no reason to refuse it. After all, the structure of the Void Principality was too small. In terms of Cecilia’s future potential, it was impossible to continue to stay in this Principality. Unless the Void Principality intends to continue to be upgraded to an empire.

   But this idea was quickly overthrown by Hasas.

  Void Duchy wants to be upgraded to an empire, not to mention whether the Millennium Covenant Empire will agree, but the Chenas Empire, which is only two neighbors from Void Duchy, will definitely be the first to stand up and oppose it. The reason is very simple. If the borders between the two empires are too close, the small country next to it will become a buffer zone between the two countries, and it will be the object of both parties to fight for. In this way, the interests of the empire will be fundamentally affected. Shock.

  Given the strength of the Zenus Empire over the years, Hassas does not believe that the Zenus Empire will allow the Void Duchy to rise to an empire in a leisurely manner.

  Unless, the military **** is dead.

  But when he wanted to kill the miracle army god, Hassas laughed when he thought of this at the time.

  It’s just that, with the contact these days, Hasas discovered that Cecilia really didn’t take her identity and status into consideration. She can communicate with herself, but this premise is based on a certain interest relationship. In addition, Hasas can see that Cecilia doesn't want to have any contact with herself at all. Especially after he showed his love, Cecilia was not even willing to maintain the exchange of interests. Recently, Diana has always been in charge.

  And today’s meeting is also the last fight that Hasas is making.

  He knew that what he was plotting was too big for Diana to be the master.

  And why is this not a kind of compromise from him?

It’s just that Hasas found that he underestimated Cecilia too much after all—or, he did not expect that Cecilia’s will would be so firm, and he also possessed an amazing acumen in evaluating the value of benefits. And accuracy.

   Judging from the current results, if he no longer makes compromises, then this negotiation will probably end in failure.

  Hassas has been watching Cecilia, trying to find some emotional details in her facial expressions. But the result still disappointed him. Because Cecilia's face did not change the slightest from beginning to end, Hassas had no way of judging Cecilia's thoughts at this time, and he did not dare to gamble.

  He can become the third heir to the Zoanton family because of his complete control of the situation. Even if it is to give up some benefits and pay the price. He also wants to keep the situation firmly in his own hands, and will never allow any mistakes. Of course, because he has always been cautious, so far he has not left any handle, let alone put himself into any dangerous situation.

   sighed lightly, Hashas smiled bitterly and said, "I lost it."

  Cecilia kept a calm and indifferent look, and finally raised the corners of her mouth slightly. A smile appeared. Hasas saw Cecilia who was smiling. There was such a momentary loss of consciousness, and even an impulse to take Cecilia as his own recklessly appeared in my mind, but soon this kind of ** was quickly extinguished by Hasas himself. , A lonely wry smile appeared on his face naturally.

"Mr. Hasas will not regret today's decision." Cecilia said softly, as if she hadn't seen the moment of loss of Hasas at all, "Then...the details will be discussed later. Mainly. For the question of direction, let’s negotiate directly while both of us are here."

   "Yes." Hasas constricted his mind. Then he said in a deep voice, "In addition to what I said before. I don't know what else the Void Principality requires."

   "There are two more requests. If you can agree to it, then we will not be rude." Cecilia pretended to think for a while, and then pretended to communicate with Diana in a low voice, actually just acting.

   "Please speak." Hasas nodded.

"I heard that your grandfather once had three battles with the undead in the black soil of southern Xinjiang, and he also sorted these three times into relevant battle report data. All members of your Zoanton family can read it at will. I don't know if it's true?" Cecilia asked.

  Hassas was a little confused and didn’t know the meaning of Cecilia’s words, but he nodded: “It’s true.”

"I need these information." Cecilia paused for a moment, then said, "Complete and detailed, including the topographic map of the black soil and the information about the undead that have appeared. Basically about this black soil. I want all the information in the land.... Please don’t get me wrong, this is my private thought, it has nothing to do with the Principality of Void, it is just a use of my fake public for personal gain, after all, I don’t want to make the void because of my personal behavior. The intelligence personnel of the Principality were sacrificed for this."

"If it's Miss Cecilia's personal request, then I can give it to you on my own terms, and it doesn't need to be a transaction condition." Although Hasas retained considerable thoughts regarding Cecilia's statement, But he will not say anything about it.

"It's not the same." Cecilia shook her head. "I know very well that if it is a personal gift from you, there will be no detailed battle report data and terrain survey maps of the Black Earth, at most some are in that piece of information. The information on the undead found in the black soil is nothing more than... But what I want is all the data in the black soil. This is probably only after you become the Patriarch of the Zoanton family, you have the qualification and ability to send the data to Me."

"Although I don't want to admit it, but...I understand." Zoanton is a smart man, he immediately paid attention to what Cecilia meant, so he did not continue to say anything brave, but agreed. This trading condition.

Of course, this is actually a good thing for him. After all, this intelligence data is not classified as confidential. The only topographic map that is classified as confidential is probably the topographic map, but if the Void Principality is willing to sacrifice manpower as the premise, it would be true. Able to survey a topographic map. With this as a trading condition, Hassas actually took advantage, but the more so, the more Hassas would guess what Cecilia wanted to do, because in his cognition, Cecilia Not like such a foolish person.

   "So, what about the second condition?" Hasas asked.

"I hope that Mr. Hasas can, as the Patriarch of Zoanton, sign a ten-year trade contract with the Void Principality." Cecilia said, "I think Mr. Hasas should also be aware that now he dares to make peace. There are almost no chambers of commerce in the Principality of the Void. Even some lords have given up trading with our Principality for various reasons, so I need a stable and normal trade that will not be affected. Trade route."

  Hassas did not reply immediately, but let the knuckles of his right hand tap the tabletop, which was a subconscious action when he was thinking about a problem.

  Dianna glanced. But he quickly retracted his sight. She found that many people have this kind of subconscious thinking action. William has it, Hela has it, Cecilia has it, and Neil has it, and now she sees it in Hashas, ​​she has some doubts whether the guys with higher IQs will have this kind of subconscious percussion on the desktop. Look for a sense of rhythm to stimulate the movement of your mind.

   "Yes." Soon, Hasas made a decision. "This is a win-win situation. I didn't have any losses.... But I have an idea on this proposal. I hope Miss Cecilia can also listen to my opinion."

   "Please speak." Cecilia said.

"I heard that the Void Principality has several very good alchemists. This allows you to guarantee that one or several pieces of bronze enchanted equipment are produced every month, and sometimes there are even silver enchanted equipment, and the quality has always been high." Hasas opened his mouth and said, "I hope that while we are trading, I will be able to allow me to purchase magic equipment at a discount of 20% lower than the market price. Of course, in return. I will also provide lower prices for the Void Principality. 30% of the market price."

  A discount of 20% lower than the market price, this sounds like a loss for the Void Principality.

  Because the market for magic equipment has a very large profit margin. In particular, no one can guarantee a shipment of magic equipment at all, basically it is only two or three times before it is possible to forge a magic equipment. Therefore, the calculation of costs, labor, sales channels and many other expenses is the real reason for the high price of magic equipment. Even though the trade of magical equipment during the honeymoon period between the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce and the Void Principality has been controlled by hunger sales, it still has a shocking impact on the entire Southern Continent’s magical equipment market to a certain extent.

  However, Cecilia, who knows the assembly line forging process of the Void Principality Armory, knows very well that Void Principality has far fewer problems in making magic weapons. If Hassas can stably provide the Void Principality with various materials and materials that are 30% lower than the market price, this will definitely benefit the Void Principality without any harm.

  In this regard, Cecilia almost didn't need to think, and agreed to Hassas's proposal.

  It can be said that this time the negotiation between the two parties is a perfect end.

  As for the subsequent detailed exchanges, that is about Hasas and Diana, and Cecilia will only make the final decision.

Before leaving, Hasas finally couldn't help but ask Cecilia about the most critical purpose of the transaction: "I don't know, which army will Cecilia send to support this operation? "

"On the details of the march, Your Excellency William will be fully responsible, so I can't guarantee which legion will be dispatched." Cecilia smiled, "But if I can promise, there will definitely be actions this time. Two or more elite legions are dispatched, so you can rest assured about this.... As I said, I will never let you down. You will find that this sale is definitely worth the money."

   "Indeed." Hassas was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. He already understood it at this time. Even without the additional conditions behind, Cecilia will agree to his action, but there will be no such a luxurious lineup. It is probably the dispatch of a legion, and it does not necessarily guarantee the success of the action. Of course, Hasas didn't feel deceived, but as Cecilia said, he was full of confidence and expectation for this action.

After Hasas left, Cecilia exhaled slightly, and then rubbed the slightly tired eyebrows: "Notify William, tell him about the content of the negotiation, and let him and Reina set off to the castle immediately. Here....In addition, send a letter to Hela, asking her and Harding to return immediately. The Void Principality needs her to sit here, and at the same time ask Harding to come to the castle to report. By the way, give Ruby and Xuefanio also An order was sent to tell Ruby to conduct a more concealed investigation. If necessary, the investigation can even be suspended temporarily and tell Xuefanio that the Void City needs her to protect Hela."

  Listening to a series of orders from Cecilia. Diana looked horrified.

  Nowadays, the representatives of the top combat power of the Void Principality are Noro, Rena, and Xuefanio. The second step is Harding, Rorty Kabas and Cecilia herself. However, currently Noro and Rotti Kabas are not in the Void Principality. Among the remaining four, Cecilia sits in the Black Swan Castle, and Rena sits in the Void City and protects William. Harding is responsible for protecting Hela from going to the Wild Federation to implement the Nether Empire plan. And Xuefanio and Ruby went deep into the Kingdom of Fascism to prevent a possible attack by the mist spirit.

  But now, except for Noro and Rorty Kabas, who are temporarily unable to contact, Rena and Harding have been dispatched back, and depending on the situation, Xuefanio will definitely be involved in this action. With the combination of the three sanctuary powerhouses, Diana absolutely does not believe that this lineup is just for this action. Therefore, when she negotiated with Hasas before, she had a certain degree of secretly returning to the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire. Understanding.

It can be said. As long as any one of the three elite troops of the Void Principality is dispatched. Adding a Rena is definitely enough. How could it be necessary for William to take action personally, and even dispatch three sanctuary powerhouses and two elite troops.

   But since Cecilia gave the order herself, Diana could only send the order immediately even if she was shocked.

  ……

   On the other hand, Hasas, who had left the Black Swan Castle, did not know the series of orders Cecilia was issuing at this time.

  He only knows that if there is no other external force to interfere with the plan this time, the future Patriarch of the Zoan Dun family must be him. If there is any regret, it is probably that Cecilia is destined not to be his woman-he has already seen that Cecilia really does not have any good feelings for him, this is something that will never belong to him Woman. It is better to be a community of interests instead of continuing to entangle yourself in a situation where you will end up just taking the humiliation or even turning your face.

  At this point. Hasas is indeed a person who can afford to let go.

   "Master Hasas, we are not the only ones who receive information, your brother..." A knight of the Zoanton family who belongs to the mother of Hasas reminded in a deep voice.

  He is slightly older than the other knights accompanying him, but these are just his appearances. This family knight also has another identity, that is, the uncle of Hasas. However, in his mother's family, his uncle is an illegitimate child, so he is not treated much. It can be said that if it weren't for Hasas' mother, his uncle would have died long ago.

  So, Moro is really grateful for the mother of Hasas who brought herself to the Zoanton family and gave him all the opportunities to practice.

  Because of gratitude, Moro is not like Hasas’ uncle at all.

  Of course, in terms of strength, Moro is indeed very good, and it is now a high-level sanctuary. On the Southern Continent, this strength, except in some large foreign countries, is basically a rank that really can be regarded as walking sideways. But I don't know why, the feeling that Void Principality gave to Moro was very dangerous, especially Rina, who had a relationship with one side, felt extremely dangerous to Moro, so he did not presume in Void Principality.

   "I know." Hasas sighed, "I can only hope that William of the Void Duchy is really as godly as the rumors, and even the **** of war praised him."

"If you can really marry Miss Cecilia..." Moro frowned, then said in a low voice, "Although the Void Principality feels very strange to me, it also makes me realize the danger, but if If you're more careful, I'm still sure to stun Cecilia and bring it out, as long as..."

Before Moro could finish speaking, Hasas raised his hand to stop: "Then what? As long as I dare to use strong against Cecilia, then I can only kill her, because a woman like her recovers sober. I will definitely kill me as soon as I am in action.... And I only have to kill Cecilia, huh... The blood flag of the Void Principality before revenge, I think you should know about it, uncle."

   "I'm the one who made a mistake." Moro said in a low voice with a look of shame, without any pretensions to be an elder.

"I know Uncle doesn't want to see me so lost." Hasas shook his head, and then his face returned to smile, "I admire her, so I like her from the heart.... But I also belong to For my mission and family glory, I don’t need to do it. It’s good as it is now. I can draw on Cecilia’s power. As long as I have a choice, I will never stand against her. "

Having said that, Hasas stretched his waist and showed a vigorous and confident smile: "It's a pity that I didn't see the legendary Grand Duke of the Void at the wrong time. His sister is already so good, and he follows Every one of them possesses enviable talents and talents. Even if the Grand Duke is not in the Principality, the operation of the Principality is in order, and no one wants to rebel and seize power. I really want to see it. See, what kind of talent can gather so many geniuses around."

   "Master Hasas, you are no worse than him." Moro said.

   "It's different." Hasas shook his head, "He... is much better than me." (To be continued~^~)
