Data Wasteland

Above the clouds, one old and one young stand opposite each other.

Under their feet is a semi-transparent disk, and countless golden Sanskrit scripts are flowing, retrograde to each other, layered on top of each other.

Chen Xing lowered his head, looking at the Sanskrit flowing under his feet. This was the first time he saw the legendary "Golden Compass" up close, and he was very curious.

"Commander Chen..." Ramsden's voice pulled Chen Xing back to reality.

"You have been getting better these days, but can you still feel uncomfortable with the marks of the abyss?" Ramsden asked caringly.

"It's okay." Chen Xing nodded and replied, but he was a little nervous, because the other party was obviously reminding him, "I helped you last time, do you remember?"

"It's okay, it's okay..." Ramsden repeated, and then as if thinking of something, with a kindly smile, he said, "I remember you are a disciple of Fo Yongqi, and you can come back when you have time. Move around the college more..."

"Next time I come back, I will come to our Dean's Tower for tea, do you think?" Ramsden threw out an olive branch.

"Master Dean has everything to do with every day, time is precious, students dare not harass at will." Chen Xing said, he will never be bribed by a bowl of tea.

"Student Chen, you must help me with this matter today!" If the hint is not possible, it will be straightforward. As the guardian of the world, Ramsden's efficiency has always been very high.

"This..." Chen Xing scratched his head vigorously. "Commander Chen" has become "Classmate Chen", this is to suppress him with nepotism.

But no matter what, he has also been favored by others, and he can't be ungrateful. He immediately held his fists and saluted, and said solemnly, "As long as the dean needs it, the students will do their best, but..." He paused. " The students are light-hearted, don't know what can help the dean?"

"Hmm..." Seeing that Chen Xing's attitude was correct, Ramsden nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Today's matter, let's discuss the matter."

"The Principality of Silver Claw unilaterally sabotaged the Glory Battle. It is indeed a serious mistake."

"However, it's a bit too much because of doing one thing wrong and leading to extinction."

"Sentencing and conviction is a manifestation of legal civilization. It's like a person stealing an apple, not hanging."

"The Principality of Silver Claw, after all, is a small and medium-sized country with a population of more than 30 million. It would be against the principle of fairness if the entire collapse was caused by the mistake of a single individual."

"The original intention of the King's Declaration is to treat everyone as fairly as possible under the disparity of individual strength."

"The existence of supreme force will not cause ordinary people to lose their social value."

"The Principality of Silver Claw made a mistake, so they were punished and paid the corresponding price. The price could be several times or even ten times that of the mistake, but it is not directly sentenced to death regardless of all objective reasons."

"Did you say so, classmate Chen?" Ramsden asked, looking at Chen Xing.

"Well, the reason is the reason..." Chen Xing's answer was a little perfunctory, because Ramsden was well-founded and he could not refute it, but his position did not allow him to agree with the other party's point of view.

Obviously, Aaliyah wanted to use this matter to bypass the King's Declaration and directly use her supreme force to conquer the Silverclaw Principality, and he could also reduce the casualties of his subordinates and avoid a fierce battle.

"Four years ago, the devil princess was promoted to the throne in order to avenge her mother. A short thought burned the Crow City, causing more than 100,000 people to die directly and millions of people to be displaced..."

"If you are really good for your Lord, you should persuade her to save her life and self-denial and reshape the image of a benevolent monarch." Ramsden said.

"What you said makes sense, but look at me..." Chen Xing pointed at himself and said helplessly, "I am a soldier under her, so what can I do?"

"No, you can convince her!" Ramsden said very positively, and then paused. "Perhaps, you are the only person in this world who can convince her."

"It's true, why don't I know it myself." Chen Xing was full of disbelief. although

He is the owner of "Blood Demon One Blood", but he is not arrogant yet, and feels that because of this he can control a supreme powerhouse.

"I have seen many people and many things, and there are people's eyes." Ramsden said, "I don't know your specific relationship, but I can feel from her eyes that you are right For her, it is a special existence, different from anyone around her."

Ramsden stretched out his hand and gently pressed Chen Xing's shoulder, "As long as you can persuade Aaliyah to give up attacking Yinclaw, even if I owe you a favor."

"Ah!" Chen Xing was taken aback, then hesitated.

One of the favors of the guardians of the world, I have to say, is very tempting.

If one day, he wants to build a nation with mercenaries and can get Ramsden's support, the score will definitely be more than doubled.

Of course, this premise is not to offend Aaliyah. Because Aaliyah is his real backer, everyone else is just a help, not a core support. He sees this very clearly.

But it is true that as Ramsden said, the most important thing for Aaliyah now is to reshape the image of Renjun and to play down the impact of the Crow City fire. If she kills again, she will only be a tyrant everyone is afraid of, and it will be difficult to rule for long.

Throughout the ages, how many tyrants have been able to end well?

The answer is no.

The people can carry or overturn the boat.

No matter how powerful Aaliyah is, she is also a body of flesh and blood, not immortal. She also wants to eat and drink Lazarus, to sleep, and if the people betray their relatives, the assassin will have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

What is a king?

If the people's aspirations are, the whole world is one, and that is the king.

But, can he really convince Aaliyah?

He was hesitating, and Ramsden suddenly said, "Don't think about it anymore..."

"You have successfully convinced her."

"What!" Chen Xing was stunned.

"Watch it for yourself."

Ramsden waved his long staff, and the golden compass lowered the clouds.

Looking around, it was empty everywhere.

The Legion of Destruction that had been crushed by darkness and surrounded the silver eagle in an impenetrable manner had all been lost.

Aaliyah and Lacey were not in their original positions either, and they seemed to have been away for a while.

Chen Xing quickly dialed the voice communication, "You, how did you go?"

"That old man talked to you for so long, isn't it just for you to persuade me to leave? Stupid!" Aliyah cursed.

"Ah..." Chen Xing was a little speechless. The five flavors are mixed in my heart, and I don't know what it is like.

The voice over there suddenly became soft and soft, "You are my general, I believe you."

A moment of tenderness made Chen Xing feel that his whole person was about to melt. This is an indescribable joy, as if the long-term efforts have finally been recognized and rewarded. He couldn't help feeling the emotion in his heart, and said, "I really want to kiss you now."

"Haha~" There was a silver bell-like laughter, and then lowered the voice, and said with a little threat, "Now I am really courageous~"

"I have always been brave, okay?" Chen Xing said.

"Okay..." There seemed to be sighing, and then changed a languid tone, "Put the silver claws, and I will reward you when you come back."

"What reward?" Chen Xing asked.

"Why should I tell you, hum!" There was a groan, and the communication was hung up with a snap.

Looking at the dimming screen and recalling the girl's charming words, he was a little dumbfounded for a while.

"Classmate Chen, Commander Chen..."

After Ramsden called out several times, Chen Xing came back to his senses.

He suddenly felt like a world away, as if everything around him was familiar and unfamiliar.

"In this way, you put forward a condition, and I will communicate with the silver claw side." Ramsden said.

Chen Xing thought for a while and asked, "Why is there only one condition?"

"Because they only made one mistake." Ramsden replied.

Chen Xing thought for a while, and asked, "Am I okay with all conditions?"

"Yes, but only if they can do it." Ramsden replied.

"I hope they surrender." Chen Xing said.

Ramsden's gray beard trembled, "What's the difference between this and just now?" In order to avoid Chen Xing's random request, he reminded, "You can ask for monetary compensation, material compensation, territory compensation, or propose a connection. Favorable conditions for the coming glory decisive battle, such as restricting some of their behaviors, restricting certain equipment or personnel from participating in the battle, and so on are favorable conditions for you."

"You just said to restrict certain personnel from participating in the war?" Chen Xing grasped the point.

Ramsden nodded.

"Okay, I understand." Chen Xing took a deep breath and said, "The condition I mentioned is..."

He threw a loud voice, "Wei Tianyu, don't participate in the war!"

Excluding a small king-level opponent from the Glory Battle is the biggest benefit he can think of.

When the time comes, Duke Zilan will sit on the battlefield, and with Silver Claw's current strength, this battle will be stable. Although it is possible for the opponent to invite the Lords of Red Rock, Cold Ridge, and Black Spear to help in the fight, the premise is that they are not afraid of their own country being breached.

Because the Red Dragon and Black Feather armies are crushing the border, if the owner of the country runs out to participate in a decisive battle in another country, they will definitely launch an all-out attack.

The three principalities of Red Rock, Cold Ridge, and Black Spear are not as good as the two principalities of Red Dragon and Black Feather in terms of land and population, because Red Dragon Principality is the largest principality in the north of the Ambergris River, with the largest territory and occupying most of the northern part. In the wilderness, the monitor lizard city is also known as the third imperial capital. The total population of the principality is close to 80 million, which is equivalent to two and a half silver claw principalities.

Ramsden communicated for a while and then returned, telling Chen Xing that the other party had agreed to this condition.

Chen Xing couldn't help but wonder, why did the other party agree so easily? Wei Tianyu's inability to participate in the war meant that they would undoubtedly lose.

Compared with the Silver Claw First and Second Group Army, the city defenders led by the Silver Eagle are not at the same level in terms of equipment and personnel quality. Encountering an expeditionary force is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone.

Qin Wu fled, Wei Haitang was beaten and disabled, the ghost servant of the national teacher Li Zhi was not good at frontal combat, and none of the other lord levels was particularly powerful, which is not to be afraid.

It seems a little weird...

However, the words have already been said, and I can no longer regret it, even if it is a loss, I have to admit it.

"Student Chen, once again sincerely, thank you for your cooperation." Ramsden nodded slightly towards Chen Xing.

"You owe Wei Tianyu favor?" Chen Xing suddenly asked. The other party risked being accused of stealing and breaking the rules of the world, and came to mediate the contradiction of a small and medium-sized principality. Obviously, there was a last resort.

Ramsden was shocked, then smiled, "You are such a clever boy."

Chen Xing couldn't help feeling a little bit. The guardian of the world is really a good man. In order to pay back one favor, he owes another favor.

I was originally a free volunteer, and I owed favors everywhere, which is really embarrassing.

"My favor, you have already paid it back." Chen Xing announced.

Ramsden was stunned again.

"You rectify the name of my brother Tienuo, this is your favor."

After speaking, Chen Xing summoned a goblin fighter and left in the air.

He needs Ramsden's favor, but he needs to face his inner pride even more. He is Tieno's brother, a young man recognized by Shad Sinclair, and they must also not want to take such a small advantage.

Looking at the distant back, Ramsden couldn't help touching his gray beard, and gradually smiled.
