Vol 3 Chapter 452: .gift
Void Principality, since the blood-flag revenge more than a year ago, for many nobles in the Kingdom of Lane, it has a very terrible shadow. Especially those lords who live next to the Void Principality are even more frightened. As soon as they see signs of another major move in the Void Principality, they have not hurriedly sent envoys to communicate, and I am afraid that they will be accidentally caught by the Void Principality. The army was swept away.
This is the sorrow of the weak.
In fact, the common people are eager to become nobles and continue to work hard. But after becoming a nobleman, you will find that the so-called noble world is actually not as beautiful as they thought. It is still a game of big fish eating small fish, but compared to naked civilians, there will be at least more noble worlds. It's just a fig leaf. Of course, the game of big fish eating small fish among the nobles is more cruel than the bullying among the common people.
But the Void Duchy is different.
Sean’s code of conduct had never considered the so-called "figure cover", and he would not even care about the so-called "rules of the game among the nobles" at all. For the grand prince, what he did was all based on his mood-like revenge on the blood flag. Originally, this kind of thing could only be related to relatives or blood, but Sean was just because he had no blood relationship, and still The Northland barbarians who came from slaves did this, and many nobles were slandering Sean just because he wanted to take advantage of the fire.
But so what?
Shaun ignored those, he just wanted revenge for Anno, so he led everyone to revenge.
After this battle, the Void Principality was completely famous.
However, it basically made many forces feel full about the strength of the Void Principality-in addition to the secretly hidden Conviction Wings and the Silver Temple Legion obtained from the Wild Lands, the existing forces of the Void Principality , Legion designation, famous generals, famous powerhouses, etc., are all equivalent to being completely disclosed to the public.
This kind of thing has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that many nobles clearly understand the gap with the Void Principality before they reach this strength and foundation. Don't go to the Void Principality over your own resources, it is simply not an opponent they can contend with. And this is the reason why many nobles, after knowing that Sean is not in the Void Principality through their different intelligence channels, still did not provoke the Void Principality directly.
Just four words: not an opponent.
Of course, it’s not that no one wants to provoke those followers while Sean is away. Attempt to cause a civil unrest or usurp power. What can make all the nobles extremely helpless is. Those secret lobbyists sent out to provoke, but few can come back alive-Sean's followers simply don't bother to care about what these lobbyists want to say, or who sent them.
The better temper is to let them go.
And those with a bad temper, for example, Alfred and Abaza directly killed people.
Of course, he also responded with a smile, and then went back and uprooted the spies that these people had spent a lot of effort and cost to plant in the Void Principality. Typical representatives of this category are the three giants of the void, William, Neal and Hela.
But under this kind of thing. There are not no people who are not mindful. But they are basically small people at the bottom, who can't get through any storms. And the only person who can turn up the storm is Clover, but the object of his pledge of allegiance forever is Cecilia, who is the least likely to betray Sean, so it doesn’t matter at all whether or not to rebel against Clover, because Sean’s subordinates All the followers-even Clover himself knew very well that as long as he dared to defect or push the palace against Cecilia, Cecilia would dare to kill.
Faced with this kind of solid loyalty, no matter how powerful lobbyists are, they can paint the most perfect blueprint for the future. It is useless at all.
As for the disadvantages caused by the battle of Blood Banner's Vengeance, many big forces finally have more detailed updates on the information and materials of the Void Principality. This allows them to realize the gap at the same time. If you want to take action against the Void Principality in the future, there will naturally be more detailed and perfect combat plans and targeted actions. It can be said that this time the Void Principality has actively exposed its weaknesses.
However, this weakness has not been amplified by it.
Because in terms of intelligence investigation and counter-reconnaissance, the Void Duchy with the Void Realm is already at an imperial level.
So in addition to the information that has been exposed by the Void Principality, it is very difficult to obtain information about the Void Principality from other sources. Especially after experiencing the betrayal of Thain Hastings and the attack of William before, the Void Principality has strengthened its intelligence work at the grassroots level. Therefore, if you want to infiltrate the Void Principality to obtain information, you will not even think about it after more than ten years. gain something.
So in a sense, the Void Principality has always been in an invincible place.
Because of this, if there is any trouble in the Void Duchy, which is powerful, profound, mysterious, and powerful, the surrounding lords will learn the news for the first time, and make this matter the highest priority. They don’t want the territories that their ancestors struggled to gain so hard to lose in their own hands. Even though the Void Duchy now fights against the surrounding lords, the Void Duchy cannot invade the territory of the Kingdom of Line, but there is none. The nobles are willing to go through a war for no reason.
However, the work of external negotiations is not in the charge of Sean.
Diana’s role lies in this—Cecilia, the true head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nowadays, had already given up all the work to Diana long after Sean returned. Therefore, the task of receiving those envoys should naturally be taken care of and arranged by Diana, but the Marquis of Flores, who was a trusted member of the king, naturally, Diana could not be compared with others, but had to be treated extra.
This is also the first time that Diana has truly been solely responsible for receiving big figures like the Marquis of Floris.
However, as more and more senior figures of the Void Principality arrived at the Black Swan Castle, an extremely heavy aura began to permeate the sky of the Void Principality.
It's just about this meeting of the plan to rescue Reyes and aid Kazas, Sean did not attend. Because he felt that he really didn’t need to show this face, Cecilia and William were responsible for the affairs. Diana should have only attended this meeting, but it was caused by Sean’s return. There was movement, so Diana was going to deal with the envoys' problems.
This also means that Diana can finally remove the word “agent” from “the agent of the foreign minister”. It won't be long. The fourth tycoon of the Void Principality will soon become a person who must pay close attention to the forces of the Void Principality, just like William, Neil, Hela and others.
As for the battle plan, in fact, as early as the night William arrived at the Black Swan Castle, he had already negotiated a general framework with Cecilia.
In the meeting, William needs to do. But it was based on the information provided separately by Hasas. And fill in other details in this frame. Regarding these things, William's experience is definitely more abundant than anyone in the entire void duchy, so there is no reason for Sean to show up to point out.
Perhaps because Hasas attaches great importance to this operation, the negotiation of the plan went very smoothly, and all the details were finalized in almost one day. Of course, William will certainly not reveal the rescue of Reyes to Hasas, but because Shaun promised that Noro will definitely rendezvous with William and Kozilek's shot. Therefore, in the deployment of the strong. Naturally, William didn't bother with Hasas.
The Hasas side will send two sanctuary powerhouses to join the battle, but as he said, he is not good at military strategy, so apart from temporarily recruiting a corps that is almost equivalent to the level of the third-level army, there are no other extras. Replenishment of troops.
William also dispatched the Cecilia Guards led by Clover and Alfred’s Thunder Lion. In addition, he also let the Scarlet Knights follow in secret to be able to support at any time-this support. Not only against the Thunder Lion and the Cecilia Guards, but also against the covert operations team that rescued Reyce. And with the strong side of the army. There are also two sanctuary powerhouses fighting, namely Harding and Noro.
As for the secret operation team that rescued Reyce, it was led by Cecilia, with Rina and Kozile as the team members. It was originally intended to transfer personnel from the Wings of Conviction and the Scarlet Knights, but after a series of discussions and discussions, Cecilia finally gave up this method. The mobility and combat effectiveness of the team composed of strong men will be improved. Higher, especially the Wings of Conviction and the Scarlet Knights, they are good at military formations. If the number of them is not a certain level, they will obviously not be able to play a real role.
All actions were quickly finalized.
In the whole process, Xiao En did not show up, because he was constantly adjusting his sanctuary ability while also making some other preparations.
The floating library is a world located at an altitude of several thousand meters. Although it is protected by a magical shield, the fertility of the floating library is actually relatively low due to the pressure of the atmosphere at high altitude and many other factors. But in contrast, the residents living in the floating library have strong endurance, and the adaptability is much higher than that of any creature in the earth.
The training that Sean is carrying out is a set of adaptation training specially designed by Andrew for his physique to ensure that Sean can perform normally after going to the floating library.
So these days, Sean basically spends most of his time with Andrew, and Cecilia will come to accompany Sean for a while only when he is free.
"If it's no surprise, I'll leave tonight, won't you accompany the little girl?" Andrew asked Sean at the table while dealing with the food in front of him.
It was lunch time, but Cecilia and William had other things to deal with, so they didn't come to eat. Cecilia wanted to come to dinner, but William did not let anyone go. Considering the importance of Reyce to William, although Cecilia was a little reluctant, she still did not leave the meeting room after all, and the participants still There are Alfred, Dwight, Clofrina and others, so their lunch is naturally sent to the meeting room.
"When everything is done, there will be time to accompany you, so I don’t want to be in a hurry." Xiao En smiled, but looked openly, "...I'm sorry, it's a drag on your time."
"Don't care about these little things." Andrew chuckled and shook his head. "Take it as a gift from me."
"Okay." Sean smiled, and did not continue to say anything about this topic.
He and Andrew are both people from the same world, so in this lonely different world, there are some things that don’t need to be said clearly and understood. Just like what Andrew said about the gift at this time, although he did not clearly say what the gift was, Sean knew that it was Andrew’s upcoming gift—probably Andrew also wanted to get in touch with fellow villagers, because during this time , Sean discovered that what Andrew asked was about the Earth Age long ago.
Inferring from this point, Sean guessed that when Andrew left the earth, it was probably a certain day in 2016, but it was a pity that Sean could not infer the specific date. The time that Sean traveled was 2082, which means that Andrew left the earth sixty-six years earlier than him.
After that, the two chatted about other things very casually.
However, in general, they are basically around the earth, and only the two of them know about things-of course, for Sean, many of them are actually history or antiques. But fortunately, he has a wide range of interests, and he is also very interested in ancient history and modern history of the earth, so he can communicate with Andrew. Otherwise, the dialogue between the two will not know how many times it will be cold.
In this slightly lively atmosphere, Beth suddenly knocked on the door and entered.
"Come?" Andrew turned his head and glanced at Beth, only to see the latter nod slightly.
Sean's eyes showed some doubts. He didn't quite understand what Andrew meant by coming.
"Let's go." Andrew got up and smiled at Sean, "Let's go out and have a look."
"Look?" The doubt on Sean's face was even more obvious, but he did not reject Andrew's kindness. Instead, he got up and followed Andrew out of the Black Swan Castle. Of course, he was still a little curious and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Gift." Andrew smiled, "Basically, each of us has prepared a gift.... You have already received the gift from Enkos. And when I accompany you back, I will give it to you. Gift...Beth’s gift will probably take a while, and now this gift is given to you by Hercules."
"Hercules!?" Sean was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted.
His egg is still in Hercules' hands! (To be continued~^~)
