Arcane Lord

Having found a relatively credible key clue, Shado was not going to stay in Belluno any longer. There were still too many things waiting for him to deal with on land, so he informed the Queen of Tide of some of the information he had analyzed from Dali's memory.

"The details of Dali's collusion with the Illuminati will be temporarily handed over to Queen Tess for investigation, and the Alliance will settle accounts after the war, but please rest assured that although the Alliance will not let go of any Illuminati member, it will not wrongly accuse any irrelevant person."

"Thank you for the envoy's tolerance. Belluno will definitely investigate carefully and give the Alliance a satisfactory explanation."

"In that case, I will not stay any longer. Next time the Queen has a chance to come to land, I will definitely receive her in person."

After saying that, Shado stood up and prepared to leave, but at this time, Tess made a request: "Dali's betrayal was not my wish, but it did cause trouble to the Alliance. Can you allow us to remedy it?"

Want to remedy it?

Xia Duo immediately understood what Tess meant. He was probably still worried about what he said about the alliance not taking out its anger on other innocent people in Belluno after the war, and wanted to contribute to the war. As for whether he was thinking of backstabbing the alliance, this possibility was not high.

After thinking about it, he agreed to Tess's request and promised: "The Alliance is currently in a decisive battle with the Illuminati. If Belluno can provide a fresh force, the Alliance will definitely consider this factor when evaluating Belluno's joining the Alliance after the war, and I can also guarantee that the Alliance will not vent its anger on Belluno's irrelevant people because of Dali's matter."

After receiving a positive response from Shado, Tess immediately made a decision. She looked at the consultant Ira beside her with a majestic look: "Ira!"

"Your Majesty, I'm here."

"Choose one hundred land walkers from the Glorious Guard and the Explorer Corps, and you will personally lead the team to return to the land with the Shado envoy to support the Alliance's war."

"Yes."

Ira also knew the importance of this matter, and agreed immediately without any dispute. Then Tess asked Ira to assemble the team first, and she herself held the scepter and summoned the other three consultants with the power of the tide.

She first introduced three consultants to Xia Duo, and also explained the identities of Xia Duo and others, and then told the three consultants who had just arrived:

"Everyone! With the help of the Northern Alliance envoy, I found the traitor hidden around me, that is, Dali. Now I need your support to send land walkers to support the alliance war. Your answer is-"

"Your Majesty, is this a bit hasty? What does the land matter have to do with us, and you said Dali is a traitor. Is there a misunderstanding? Is it the land race that is alienating us?"

The consultant who spoke usually has a good relationship with Dali, but it is not bad either. It's just that seeing his companions who have been in consensus for a long time suddenly being named as traitors, he is somewhat difficult to accept.

If it were normal times, he might not say anything if the queen wanted to take down Dali, but now the queen's decision was obviously influenced by outsiders, which is also an important reason for his resistance.

"Although I am a little anxious, I will not act rashly. I have decided to lead Belluno to join the Northern Alliance. Now is the best time. Please believe me, as the Queen of Belluno, I will not lead Belluno to a dead end."

Tess used her reputation to guarantee this matter. Although this made the three consultants more confused, they did admit that the queen was the least likely to betray Belluno. After a moment of silence, they nodded with difficulty.

"What is your majesty going to do?" asked Solintas, one of the consultants.

"I have asked Ira to gather the team. I plan to send 100 land walkers to the land for support, led by Ira himself."

"Since your majesty has decided, then so be it! It's just that I still hope your majesty will think more about joining the alliance."

Solintas is usually the most hostile to the land, that is, because Shado is a human. If it is an elf, I am afraid that there will be conflicts. But even so, he has never looked at the land elves such as Tyron and Mela who came with Shado.

At this moment, he did not forget to question Shado: "I have heard of your name and the constitution of the alliance, but as a human, how much say do you have in the alliance where elves are the majority? If the alliance finally lets Belluno down, what will be your attitude?"

"Indeed, I cannot guarantee that Belluno will join the alliance, but with Queen Tess's attitude towards the alliance, I can guarantee that the alliance will not be angry with Belluno because of Dali."

Shado reiterated his attitude again, and also added, "If the alliance finally decides not to accept Belluno's joining, then I will seize a piece of offshore territory for Belluno in my personal name. Of course, this possibility is very small. The alliance is an inclusive and open alliance. It welcomes any country that agrees with the alliance constitution to join."

Promising a piece of offshore territory is nothing. There are so many unowned lands in the main plane that can be occupied at will. The reason why the northern countries do not occupy them is more because it is meaningless.

The territory that I have demarcated in the north has not been fully developed, so how can I open up new land in other places?

Furthermore, although anyone can occupy the unowned land in the main plane, there is still some legal basis to be considered. If a land country inexplicably claims a piece of land in the sea, it will most likely not be recognized, even within the alliance.

But if it is to help Belluno develop a coastal territory, then there is no problem. Marine races are originally mobile and rarely have fixed territories. It is reasonable for them to move to the unowned coastal sea today.

Even if they do not look for an unowned coastal sea, the narrow sea north of Netheril is so large that it can fully accommodate Belluno with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

The reason why this was not mentioned is mainly because Netheril may not be willing to give part of the inland sea to others. It has always been only Netheril that has expanded its territory, and rarely has it given its own territory to others.

So far, Netheril has only promised the dwarves to establish an independent country in the Yellow Maple Hills (within the Nether territory recognized by the Alliance) that Netheril has not developed. The independence of Langas is still under discussion, but it is generally agreed.

It’s just that the former of these two countries is still in preparation, and the latter has not even entered the formal procedure. Moreover, even if the dwarves of the Yellow Maple Hills and the Langas have established independent countries, they are still under the control of Netheril.

This powerful Belluno is fundamentally different, and after Belluno's magic system is improved, it is likely that no high-level wizard will appear, but the existence of archmages may emerge in batches.

In this case, it is difficult for Netheril to directly control the other party. If such a country is placed in the Narrow Sea, I am afraid that the Seventon Council will not approve it.

In addition, Belluno will probably not agree to move to the Narrow Sea. This situation of being almost dependent on others is acceptable for a short-term temporary placement, but if it wants to survive and develop for a long time, it is likely that various contradictions will arise.
