After waking up

One morning in early October, Mulan was summoned to the palace. When he arrived, he found that there were quite a few people. In the queen's office, several big shots from both the military and political parties were present, and Nishelli You haven't come yet.

"Oh, Lord Jonest." "Jonest."

"Mu Lan is here too!"

"Hello, Sir." "Hello, Your Majesty."

Mulan is now a well-known figure in the aristocratic circle. The queen is not here, but she still greets everyone present. Especially the smooth implementation of the restructuring of the Black Castle makes everyone at least superficially harmonious.

Then several more people arrived, and some asked about the situation.

"Everyone is here, what happened?"

"I don't know, His Majesty hasn't come yet." "Maybe Lord Jonest knows something. After all, the Queen favors him very much."

"No, no, I don't know. I've only been here not long."

When Mulan waved his hand, another door on the inside was opened, and Nishelil walked out surrounded by guards and two ministers.

"I have met His Majesty!"

"Um."

When everyone looked up, Nishelir had already reached the edge of the seat, looked at the people present and nodded with satisfaction.

"I came to you temporarily because there is one thing we need to discuss. The secret envoy of the Ilhan Kingdom has arrived. In order to keep it secret, it was not publicly summoned."

"Ilhan?"

Everyone present frowned. Dilga's current impression of Ilhan was not very good.

"Yeah, Ilhan."

Nice Helier smoothed the hem of her skirt, looked at the people present, and finally rested her eyes on Mulan, who also asked at this time.

"Then, Your Majesty, why did Ilhan secretly send an envoy to visit? The troubles in their country are not enough for us to interfere, right?"

The uprising of the Workers' Party and the current turmoil in Ilkhan can still be noticed by those who are interested.

"Well, the Ilkhans noticed that Basman showed signs of sending more troops to the border between their two countries, and their domestic affairs seemed to be no longer a small problem. They believed that the Basman provided the Ilkhan Domestic Workers' Party with Weapons and medicines were provided and all kinds of support were provided.”

"Do the Basmans want to declare war on Ilhan? Ilhan is not Goldspeare. He has strong troops, equipment, and excellent generals."

Mulan looked at the minister who was speaking. The latter seemed to realize something and quickly added.

"Even if the conditions are the same, it is impossible for Basman to replicate the glorious results of our advancing army that nearly destroyed the country with one army. They need to mobilize a very powerful military force."

Mulan then looked away and spoke.

"As Lord Cui Yiman said, according to common sense, Basman cannot easily launch a war. Basman people are very smart, unless they think that there is a high possibility of success and sufficient rewards. ."

The military general on the other side frowned.

"Do they have so much faith in the Workers' Party's abilities?"

Most of the people present were capable ministers. Naturally, they could not fail to see that if Basman really planned to start a war, it would definitely be because of the civil strife in Ilhan caused by the Workers' Party.

Nishelir glanced towards the window.

"I'll talk to you guys first, and I'll have Ilhan's envoy come here to explain in detail later, but in principle, we won't send troops to fight Basman. The empire is now in the stage of recuperating. We are accelerating industrialization and cannot fall into the quagmire of war."

"But if we do something, Basman people will definitely not dare to gamble."

By saying this, Nishelir has set the tone. The principle will give Ilhan some support, and it is best to go to war with Basman.

"Then everyone, take a rest for a while. I will have envoy Ilhan come over in a moment."

Ten minutes later, in the Queen's office, several Ilhans, led by the chief envoy, followed the palace attendants and walked into the office through the main entrance.

As soon as he opened the door, Ilhan could see many people standing on both sides of the desk. It was obvious that it was a secret meeting.

The envoy must have done some homework before coming, so he caught several key figures with just a few glances. His eyes swept over the military and political leaders and Mulan, and soon fell on the queen. He did not dare to look directly at the queen. Nice Helier, who was too stunned, quickly bowed her head and saluted.

"Special Envoy Ilhan, pay homage to Her Majesty Queen Nishelil!"

"Ilhan people, I heard that you want us to go to war with Basman?"

A military general asked directly when the Ilhan raised his head.

"No, we just hope that Dilga can put pressure on the Basmans."

"Pressure? Once the empire takes action, especially against Basman, all parties will become nervous and it may trigger a world war."

"In the last war, Ilhan did not help the empire."

"True, so the Ilhans don't deserve help!"

The bad guy kept saying this one sentence after another, and Messenger Ilhan suddenly felt like he was covered in sweat.

"In the last war, Ilhan wanted to help very much, but Basman had already deployed heavy troops on the border in advance, and there were also some opponents in the country, so the time was delayed. But we were actively preparing for war and preparing to send troops, but the war ended later. "

"Huh, you've been preparing for the war for several years, right?"

Seeing that the Ilhans couldn't resist, the finance minister jumped out.

"My generals, after all, Ilhan is a traditional ally of the empire, and they have indeed restrained Basman's forces. If the heavy troops on Basman's border also joined the last war, the situation would be even worse."

The Chancellor turned to Envoy Ilhan.

"But the empire also has difficulties. In the last war, the agreement we signed with Basman required our two countries to maintain non-aggression. Then we experienced the Kingspea War and mobilized military forces to encircle and suppress pirates. The empire experienced Several battles were very costly.”

The special envoy spoke quickly.

"Yes, we understand, we all understand that if the empire is willing to put pressure, Ilhan is willing to fully assist the empire's industrialization facilities. Our technology is not inferior to the Basmans in some aspects, especially precision bearings and parts."

"The industrialization of the empire is on the right track. Will we go to war for some parts?"

Without losing their own interests, the empire's ministers put great pressure on the envoy. From the beginning to the end, Nice Heliel didn't have to say anything, she just sat in her position and listened gracefully. With.

When the time was almost up, Nishelil raised her hand, and the imperial ministers who were arguing all stopped.

"Messenger, Ilhan wants us to contain the Basmans, and he also hopes that we will provide some effective support. So what good can the empire do? Don't talk to me about traditional allies. In the last war, you also paid for the weapons you provided. , and the price has been increased.”

The messenger faced the Queen respectfully.

"Your noble and beautiful Majesty, Ilhan can agree to whatever conditions the empire wants, as long as they are not excessive."

Nishelil smiled. This smile made several Ilhans temporarily absent-minded, and then they quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to look again.

"I want all the things you just mentioned. Then, I will have the right to garrison troops at Tilia Deepwater Port, and Ilhan will have full authority to ensure the supply of the port."

Messenger Ilhan looked shocked, but he only hesitated for a few seconds before gritting his teeth and raising his head.

"I can agree to this request on behalf of His Majesty the King."

Nishelir opened her eyes slightly. Although she didn't show anything on the surface, Mulan could see her micro-expression, and he should have said in his heart: 'Is this okay? ’

The Ilhan people agreed so simply that it was difficult for Nishelil to say the rest. She looked at Mulan, who got the look in his eyes and spoke tactfully in front of the messenger for the first time.

"The Basmans haven't taken action yet. Has the situation in Ilhan's country gotten this bad? It's probably just a riot by some workers and untouchables. With Ilhan's military power, can't it be suppressed?"

Messenger Ilhan looked at Mulan solemnly. The rumored Queen's guardian knight spoke, which meant that the Queen had half agreed.

"They are indeed a group of untouchables, so you should also be able to imagine that if they can mess up our country and make Basman ready to take action, things will never be simple."

"On the one hand, the Workers' Party leads this group of untouchables. Their brainwashing makes these untouchables fearless of death. On the other hand, there is a mysterious and evil supernatural organization that helps the rioters. These people are the real trouble."

"Oh? Can it compete with Ilhan's official power?"

"We mobilize extraordinary power to encircle and suppress them, but they are always able to avoid it. Their power is strange and terrifying. His Majesty the King is afraid of being assassinated and has strengthened his defense forces. We hope that Dilga can send strong men to help us solve the problem. That group of people.”

"Cult?"

The messenger glanced at Mulan and continued.

"No, it's not a cult, because they don't develop followers, and they obviously have a deeper purpose. As far as I know, one of the leaders of that group of evil wizards is good at terrifying dark power, which requires powerful light power to compete. It's a pity that our country has the same holy power. The relationship between the two has never been good."

Indeed, there are not many churches in Ilhan, so it is strange that the relationship is good.

The words of the messenger, the workers, the extraordinary people behind them, and the dark power, made many Dilga people present, including Nishelil, think of something.

Nishelil looked at Mulan, who nodded slightly with a solemn expression.
