Lord of War

Ards gestured to the side, and a young man in a dark black arbitration robe stood up. Huo Ran???? Text ?`

After saluting to everyone, he didn't say anything like self-introduction, but simply put a palm-sized disc on the table. As he fiddled with it, a light blue ray of light soon bloomed on the disc, and after passing through the initial blur, this ray of light would soon show a miniature map.

The people present only glanced at it, and knew that this miniature map was the land map of the entire fascist kingdom.

However, as the young man adjusted again, there were several more areas on the miniature map, which were the border area of ​​the Ryan Kingdom bordering the Fascist Kingdom and the border area of ​​the Principality of Ekiri.

Soon, an area on the map was slightly raised, as if this area had been slightly enlarged, and the surrounding edges were also glowing red.

This area is the territory of the Fascist Kingdom that is completely occupied by the Kingdom of Ryan and the Principality of the Void at this moment.

Sean glanced at the map and the young man fiddling with the equipment, and then at Azik, who happened to be looking at Sean as well.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After Azik glanced at Sean, he quickly looked away, and then he stood up and said something to the young man beside him. The young man replied and sat down. At this time, Azik began to look around at the people around him, and then said: "The area marked in red is the territory of the Fascist Kingdom that has been occupied by the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Ryan and the Principality of the Void."

Following Azik's words, a blush also appeared in the southeast region of the Fascist Kingdom, bordering the Principality of Ekiri, including the Erison region that was captured by Sean.

"And this..." When Azik said this, he took a special look at Sean, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The smug smile made Sean want to punch him in the face. The Principality of Egiri, which is severely persecuted by the Principality of the Void!"

Sean yawned cooperatively: "And then?"

"Then?" Azik was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Sean to show such a reaction. However, his status and status for a long time still let him know what he should say at this moment, "Is Grand Duke Sean really wanting the entire southern continent to be plunged into war?"

"I'm just targeting you for saying that I severely persecuted the Principality of Ekiri." Sean shrugged, "Where did I persecute? ...Let's talk about it.

If I really persecuted the Principality of Ekiri, why didn't the people of the Principality of Ekiri participate in the Libra meeting today? Shouldn't it be up to them to sue? "

"Regarding this matter, the Principality of Ekiri has entrusted our Peace Council Arbitration Panel with full authority." Azik said in a deep voice, "So regarding this matter, I hope that you, Grand Duke Sean, can give a reasonable explanation."

"Explanation?" Sean looked at Azik. Then a smile appeared, "What explanation?"

"Why did you persecute the Principality of Ekiri? Why did you start this war? Why..."

"There are so many reasons." Before this Azik finished speaking, Sean had already mercilessly interrupted the opponent's momentum building.

Sean, who is familiar with negotiation science, of course knows why Azik said so much nonsense, it is to create an aura, so as to completely control the rhythm of the entire negotiation, so as to suppress Sean's side. To be reasonable, Sean naturally shouldn't interrupt the other party's speech at this time, but should wait for the other party to finish speaking before answering.

But, are you reasoning with Sean?

"There is always someone who needs to be responsible for what they have done before." Sean said in a deep voice, "Some things. As long as they are done, they will always be remembered."

Sean's words are obviously a pun.

Azik's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice couldn't help but lowered a lot: "I don't know what you are talking about, Grand Duke Xiao En?"

"About an assassination plot back then." Sean and Azik looked at each other for a long time, then turned to look at a member of the Fascist Kingdom's envoy, "Your Excellency Turin, I wonder if you still remember it?"

All eyes immediately focused on Turin Wiles.

As the current head of the Wiles family, Turin Wiles inherited the title of Duke of Platinum, which is a duke title belonging to the orthodox bloodline.

In the aristocratic circles of the fascist kingdom. The Wiles family is not the founding father family, but it is definitely a well-known old aristocrat. This family has successively given birth to five dukes, not the kind of hereditary title that inherits the name of the ancestors, but branched out from the main family and relied on their own efforts to finally climb to the duke position. Although today. In the end, only the title of "Duke of Yanliu" survived among the four offshoot families, and the other three branches could only rely on these two families, but no matter what, the title of Duke of Platinum held a pivotal position in the entire fascist kingdom represent.

Turin, having inherited this title and reputation, naturally represented his status and prestige in the Fascist Kingdom.

In name, the head of the Fascist Kingdom's envoy was someone else. But in fact Turin Wiles was the real host of the mission.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Grand Duke Sean." Du Ling, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes at this moment, looked at Sean, and then said, "What assassination plot? I don't quite understand it. ... And , What we are discussing now, seems to be why Grand Duke Sean, you want to persecute the Principality of Ekiri, and even seize the territory of the Principality of Ekiri, right? What does it matter about conspiracy, assassination and other things?"

A man of eloquence.

This is Sean's first impression of Turin.

With just a few simple words, the initiative of the negotiation is once again in his hands - if it is a normal negotiation.

"You may think it doesn't matter, but I think it has a lot to do with it." Xiao En smiled, and his face showed a bit of ferocity, "When my sergeants were fighting against the death tide of the undead on the front line, what were you doing? Pulling my hind legs! It's causing civil strife behind me! If I hadn't arrived in time, the wild fortress would have been captured by the undead army at that time, and what will happen then, don't you idiots know?"

Speaking of this, Sean looked at Azik again, and said coldly: "Or, do you think that you are sure to drive back the larger army of undead that formed after annexing the wild land?"

"It's ridiculous. After you annexed the entire wild land, those tribal leaders were dissatisfied with you, so they decided to rebel. Can this kind of thing be blamed on other people?" Du Ling sneered. The voice was not loud, but it was also filled with a contemptuous tone, "The rumored Grand Duke of Void, so he is such a waste who puts the blame on other people?... Hey, Mr. William. I appreciate you very much , the lord you follow seems to be of little value, why not switch to my side, my Wiles family and the fascist kingdom need talents like you very much."

"Heh, to take refuge with someone who wanted to kill me?" William squinted at Du Ling, his eyes and tone were equally contemptuous, "I'm not that cheap."

"Mr. William, I don't know what you're talking about." Du Ling looked stunned, "It's too late for me to welcome a talent like you. How could I want to kill you?"

This time, not only William, but even Sean sneered.

"Enough is enough, now we are discussing about the invasion of the Principality of the Void and the occupation of the territory of the Principality of Ekiri." Azik said in a deep voice, "Whatever is wrong with each other is a matter between you. I represent peace The Council presided over this Libra meeting to resolve the turmoil caused by the Void Principality and the Ryan Kingdom in the southern continent."

"So, how does the Peace Council plan to solve it?" Sean didn't continue to pester Turin any longer. To be honest, he was really curious about what the Peace Council planned to do this time.

"It's very simple, the war stops." Ards said coldly. The tone has become extremely strong.

"Is it just that the war has stopped?" A smile appeared on Sean's face.

Azik glanced at Sean, and his intuition told him that Sean's expression at this moment was obviously malicious. But because of his responsibility, it is impossible for him not to answer at this time. So he could only nod and said: "That's right, first stop the war, and the troops of your two countries must all withdraw from the territory of the Fascist Kingdom within a week."

"Then what about the territories that have already been occupied?" Sean didn't intend to speak, so it was Arlan who spoke at this moment.

"Return them all." Azik glanced at Allan before continuing, "This is not your territory in the first place. You are invaders. Of course, as the current defeated party, the Fascist Kingdom will also pay certain material resources. As a price for the redemption of this territory."

After Azik's words fell, the middle-aged man who nominally represented the head of the Fascist Kingdom's envoy accepted the words with a smile, and then handed over a form to Arlan and Sean respectively. The material resources of the so-called "redeemed territories" are listed.

After reading the form, Arlan's expression turned a little ugly.

And Sean let out a mocking sneer.

According to the statistics in this form, they will pay a pension of ten gold coins per person for the war dead, and in addition, they will pay one hundred thousand gold coins or materials of equivalent value as the redemption funds for the territory. Moreover, the statistics of the number of deaths is determined by the Fascist Kingdom, that is to say, as shown on the form handed to Sean, Sean's side only killed about 20,000 people in battle, including the ransom of 100,000 gold coins, The fascist kingdom will compensate Sean for less than 300,000 gold coins.

This is no longer a phrase "beating beggars" can be described.

It's just too much deceit.

"This..." Arlan's brows were tightly frowned, and when people like Old Hutch, Coss, Florence and others saw this form, the expressions on their faces were also very exciting.

"Is there anything dissatisfied with His Highness Allan?" The head of the envoy of the Fascist Kingdom still smiled, showing sincerity.

"It's okay for me to retreat, but this compensation..." Arlan thought for a while, and then said, "It seems a bit low."

"We can discuss it again." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Our fascist kingdom and the Ryan kingdom have always been friendly, so of course there must be some misunderstandings about the sudden invasion this time.... Let's do it, In order to eliminate the misunderstanding between us and prove that our fascist kingdom is indeed very sincere, we can increase the compensation by three times."

Hearing what this person said, Sean knew that the form he handed to Allan must be different from the one in his hand, otherwise the other party would have no reason to just say that the increase was tripled instead of giving more accurate compensation materials .

"So, what's the reply of the Ryan Kingdom?" Azik spoke at the right time, putting pressure on Alan.

Feeling the eyes of almost everyone in the meeting room, especially the heavy pressure of those peace envoys. Arlan's face was slightly pale, and fine sweat appeared on his forehead. How could Arlan, who was just an ordinary person, be able to withstand this kind of pressure, and he also had deep scruples about the Peace Council in his heart. At this moment, the fascist kingdom was backed by the Peace Council. They have indeed appeared extremely strong.

So after weighing it, Allan finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "The Kingdom of Ryan accepts this proposal, and we will immediately withdraw our troops and leave your country's territory."

"Your Highness Allan, don't worry, we will sort out the relevant compensation resources soon, and you can bring them with you when you return to China this time." The middle-aged man showed a very happy smile appropriately. "Then, what do you want to say about this compensation, Grand Duke Void? If you are not satisfied, I can also increase it three times... Well, or give a whole number, one million pan-6 gold coins, you What do you think?"

"Heh." Sean laughed: It really is completely different from Alan's compensation form.

"Could it be that the Principality of the Void is not willing to retreat?" Azik asked with a solemn face, matching his identity as the chief arbitrator in a black robe, he was indeed somewhat majestic.

"Retreat? Yes." Sean nodded.

"Then..." Azik's mouth slightly raised, although it was not obvious. But there is indeed a bit of complacency in the eyes.

It's a pity that before he could finish his sentence, Sean threw the so-called compensation form in his hand directly at the face of the middle-aged man from the Fascist Kingdom's envoy.

Sean's shot this time was really venting his anger.

It's just that he deliberately kept a little bit of sense, so these hardened papers that had endured Xiao En's fighting spirit didn't directly blast the opponent's head, but they also smashed the opponent's face with bruises.

The super strong man holding a long sword immediately looked at Xiao En, pressing down mercilessly with a heavy aura.

But before this aura was suppressed on Xiao En, it exploded directly as if being blocked by something, and shattered the improvised conference table. But the moment the wooden table shattered. These pieces of wood have not been scattered and splashed out, they have been directly turned into wood dust in the air, and they are completely blown away.

At this time, the super strong man holding a long sword looked up at Alexis who was leaning against the wall: "Kill Wu Ji!"

The burly man who had been sitting in the corner of the temporary conference room, and the beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure also looked at Alexis at the same time.

A heavy and terrible drooping air pressure. began to permeate the conference room.

Everyone felt a burst of extremely intense and terrifying pressure, which made it difficult for them to breathe, as if the oxygen in the air had become scarce.

"Didn't I say that? I agree to withdraw." Sean laughed and broke the momentary silence, "But...it's not in accordance with your so-called compensation method... It is very simple for me to withdraw. All the murderers who assassinated William and caused the death of my follower, An Nuo, must all be handed over."

"What does this conspiracy have to do with our fascist kingdom?" The middle-aged man whose face was covered in bruises and blood finally couldn't help roaring.

"Because it was led by the Wiles family of your kingdom." Sean said in a deep voice, "But as far as I know, the people who really participated in the operation were not only the Wiles family, but also several other families. … ...Well, and the leader of the wild tribe who managed to escape after creating the rebellion, you must also hand it over."

"You are slandering the fascist kingdom!" The middle-aged man shouted furiously, "You are contemptuous of the authority of the Libra meeting!"

"Okay, if the Peace Council has this attitude, it's still an authority." Sean curled his lips in disdain, and since he has completely exploded, then of course he has no need to continue to endure, "Compensate me one million pan Continental gold coins? I will give you two million, how about you give me all the territory occupied by me and the Kingdom of Ryan? The cost of mobilizing my entire country is more than this, are you beggars?"

"That was an invasion you provoked without authorization!"

"Invasion?" Sean sneered, "How about I just invaded? I made it very clear that I can retreat and hand over all the murderers, including Turin Wiles, otherwise nothing will be discussed."

"Ridiculous." Turin Wiles finally spoke, "You keep saying that I'm conspiring, so what evidence do you have?"

"I know you're a fool like to deny it." Sean suddenly showed a happy smile. "But don't worry, I've already prepared it.... Devil boy."

With Sean clapping his hands, the door of the meeting room was finally opened again.

One of the original members of the Thirteen Coffins of Deaththorns sent by Sean to the fascist kingdom to collect relevant evidence, Ghost Sword Devil Boy slowly walked in from the door.

"One of the original death thorn thirteen coffins. Ghost sword. Devil boy, don't I need to introduce you?" Sean looked at Turin and said coldly, "Now he is my person, the executive of the void realm. One of the officials. I arranged to come to the Fascist Kingdom to collect evidence of you idiot. So I have collected a lot of your actions against me. Otherwise, why do you think I targeted you so much? ?”

Du Ling's face changed slightly, and the whole person's aura instantly became completely different.

At this moment, even Azik, the chief arbitrator of the Peace Council, looked a little ugly.

"Papa papa."

Sean applauded three times in a row, and it was still very forceful. Everyone's eyes couldn't help being attracted by Sean's action again: "Sorry, I just like this kind of face-slapping behavior very much. Isn't your Peace Council Ask me why I started the war? Now I have made it very clear that it is revenge. If you want me to retreat, you can do it according to my request. Otherwise, you can only continue the war."

Azik glanced at Turin, the expression on his face was not very good-looking, but he still took a deep breath and calmed down before turning his head to look at Alan: "Then what is the attitude of the Kingdom of Ryan?"

At this time, Allan also knew that he could not get involved in the drama of this war, and the loss during this dispatch was not particularly large for the Kingdom of Lane—at least the royal team did not lose much, and the real loss was on the border. Private soldiers of several lords.

"The Ryan Kingdom has said before that we will retreat immediately." Arlan said with a smile, "This is the Duke of the Void's revenge battle, and it has nothing to do with me, Ryan."

Sean glanced at Allan. He didn't say anything more, but he also knew that the friendship between the Void Principality and the Ryan Kingdom came to an end. Because this time the Libra meeting was attended by Arlan on behalf of the Kingdom of Ryan. Then it means that the next king of the Ryan Kingdom is the third prince in front of him. With the choice made by Allan at this moment, it will naturally be the attitude of the Kingdom of Ryan towards the Duchy of the Void in the future.

"I understand." Azik nodded, and then looked at Sean, "Duke Sean, are you determined to cause a war of devastation in the southern continent because of personal emotional factors? You know. Now There is also the threat of death tide, if..."

"You also know that there is still the threat of the death tide?" Sean's face was very contemptuous, which was a kind of real disdain, "Since you know that it is my Void Principality that is blocking the way of the death tide going south, then you Do you think I can tolerate someone pulling my back?... I have made it very clear that this is my condition and there is no second choice."

"Is the Principality of the Void determined not to retreat?" Azik looked directly at Sean.

"Heh, a peace council? A just and fair meeting of the scales?" Xiao En raised the corner of his mouth, his face was mixed with contempt and sarcasm, "Don't just make people laugh. If the man behind the scenes is not handed over, then the war will be over." will stop."

"Do you want to fight on four fronts?" Azik asked in a deep voice, "Even the Seven Great Empires dare not be so arrogant, let alone you should know the result of refusing to accept the arrangement of the Libra Council."

"Four lines? Which four lines?" Sean asked back, "Oh, do you mean that your Peace Council plans to join the fascist kingdom?"

Ards didn't answer, but just looked at Sean quietly.

In fact, even if Azik didn't answer, Sean knew the threat in the words of the Peace Council.

Rick's tide of death, the war in the fascist kingdom, and Deaththorn's next revenge. Even with the intervention of the Peace Council, it is actually only the third front. The real fourth line is the multinational coalition forces from the barren land near the entrances of the three regions on the western continent—and this is exactly what the Peace Council planned to use from the very beginning to exert pressure and influence on Sean. Weight: As long as Xiao En is willing to accept the arrangement of the Libra Council, then regardless of whether the Peace Council makes a move, the multinational coalition forces here will definitely not be able to continue to trouble the Principality of the Void.

But once the war between William and the Fascist Kingdom is stalemate, coupled with the laissez-faire of the Peace Council, then the multinational coalition forces here will definitely not give up this opportunity to take advantage of the fire. Even with Hela's overall command, the development of the war between the two sides is also a huge test for the material consumption and supplies of the Principality of the Void. Once the Void Principality is unable to support these two national wars, let alone the Void Empire, it is hard to say whether it can maintain its current scale.

Especially at this moment, the Kingdom of Ryan represented by Allan has officially broken with the Principality of the Void.

"I ask Grand Duke Xiao En to think about it carefully." Azik said calmly.

This look. It was like eating Sean to death—in fact, any sane person could only choose to compromise in the face of this conspiracy-like threat.

But it's a pity that Sean doesn't seem to be a rational person.

"You guys. Really..." Sean laughed suddenly, "You're really looking for your own death."

"What?" Azik still hadn't reacted.

"As long as you keep the members of your Peace Council here, how can you support the Fascist Kingdom?" Sean laughed, "I know that. . . . Your Peace Council just experienced a civil strife , even if you really want to intervene in the war here, there is no way to send so many top experts to support in a short period of time, otherwise, there will not be two newcomers who have just entered the realm of experts to follow. "

Azik's pupils shrank suddenly: "Are you... crazy?"

"Do it!" Xiao En ignored the other party, but shouted in a deep voice!

But this roar. But he didn't speak directly, but an order issued in the soul contract.

The next moment, a storm suddenly rolled up in the meeting room.

A flash of extremely bright light exploded instantly.

The entire conference room was torn apart by a powerful force at this moment, and it was not only the conference room, but also a large area of ​​buildings around the conference room. It's just that the identities of the people in the conference room are too sensitive and noble at this moment, so even though there is a sudden burst of power, there is still some protection for everyone in the conference room, only those people around the conference room. Not so lucky.

These people were directly torn to pieces by the powerful force.

Three super powerhouses from one side of the Peace Council protected the five chief arbitrators and appeared in the garden outside the meeting room.

Christina protected the envoys of the fascist kingdom from the horror vortex in the meeting room, but Christina's strength was not too strong. Therefore, only two people can be protected, and one of them happens to be Turin Wiles, while the other three unlucky ghosts are not so lucky.

On the Ryan Kingdom side, Fanny protected Arlan and Kos who was sitting next to Allan.

Elsie stood in front of Hatch Boulder. Even though Elsie had a lot of resentment towards her father, this man was still his biological father no matter what. So at this critical juncture, he still chose asylum. Even Florence, who was sitting next to the old Duke Hatch, was also sheltered—his two sanctuary guards had no time to react, so when the power of the explosion came out, they could only protect themselves.

On the contrary, on Sean's side, because of the existence of three super powerhouses, there was no damage at all-after all, it was Sean's side who made the first move.

When all the smoke and dust in the entire meeting room dispersed, Alexis walked out slowly with a spear in hand, her eyes were firmly locked on the middle-aged swordsman with gray hair from the beginning to the end. Among the people present, only this swordsman could bring a strange feeling to Alexis—that was the intuition of a strong person. As for the other two, although they were both super strong, they were not worthy of Ellie's feelings at all. Kexis too much attention.

However, with the explosion of this force, the twenty gold-robed executives from the Peace Council all gathered at this moment.

As Xiao En expected, these golden-cloaked executive officers were also strictly selected. Except for a few who only had the strength of the middle sanctuary, most of them had the strength of the upper sanctuary. Even, five of them are legendary powerhouses, including Atana, who had a relationship with Sean in the Forest of Sighs, together with Christina, the peace council actually dispatched three super powerhouses this time , six legendary powerhouses, eleven upper sanctuaries and four middle sanctuaries.

This huge force, even if it is the Peace Council, is definitely a great underlying force, and it may even have reached one-third or more of the current Peace Council.

As Sean said, if he could wipe out or keep this force here, it would definitely be a serious blow to the Peace Council on a large scale. At least, Sean is sure that once the Peace Council is severely damaged here, they will become more cautious about whether to continue to support the Fascist Kingdom—even if they still decide to support, they still need to mobilize their forces again, and this will take time.

Time is exactly what Sean lacks right now.

"What a feast." Elsie smiled.

"Are you Twilight Church also planning to intervene?" Seeing Elsie and the three artifacts that Elsie emitted just now to resist the powerful explosion force, how could the Peace Council fail to recognize the identity of the person in front of him, "This is a royal war, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with your divine right?"

"Hey, Sean, you want me to teach in your country later." Elsie turned to look at Sean.

"Of course." Sean said with a smile, "I will prepare a few churches for you."

"Look, it's not a royal dispute anymore, it's about the cohesion of my Twilight Church's faith." Elsie laughed. (To be continued.)

...
