Prince Philip continued: "Since we have always had a strong relationship, why not join forces to deal with our common enemy first?"
Roland waved his hand: "You have said so much, the more curious I am about Lu Yi. What did she do to make the Emperor of Judah so afraid? Do you want to get rid of her first even if you join forces with outsiders?"
Prince Phillip was about to speak when he was interrupted by Roland: "Well, your Excellency, don't speak for now. Let me make a guess. Has Lu Yi bribed most of the nobles in your Charles Empire? Oh, don't get me wrong. What I mean by 'bribing' does not mean buying with money, but refers to all aspects of daily life, such as the food you eat, the clothes you wear, etc."
Roland looked at Prince Philip with a strange look on his face and continued: "Even the delicacies and toys from the most distant places can be obtained in just a few days by paying enough money. I think even as a member of the royal family, you can get them in just a few days." Your Highness Philip, have you also enjoyed the high-quality services provided by the Lulan Chamber of Commerce? Nobles like you must not put it down for this kind of service that can not only reflect your power but also enjoy convenience."
Prince Philip nodded helplessly: "You are right, Mr. Roland. Now the Lulan Chamber of Commerce has penetrated into every corner of Charles's empire. According to the investigation, both nobles and civilians are inseparable from the services provided by the Lulan Chamber of Commerce." Convenient service. This is why my father is so fearful and wary of Lu Yi. You are also the ruler, so I think you can understand my father's mood when facing an organization like the Lulan Chamber of Commerce."
"No, this is far from enough to make Lulan Chamber of Commerce a thorn in the side of Emperor Judah." Roland showed a smile and looked at Prince Philip with a relaxed expression: "If this is the case, Emperor Judah can send assassins silently. Just assassinate Lu Yi and then support a puppet under his complete control to take over. In this way, the Lulan Chamber of Commerce can become something of your Charles Empire royal family without anyone noticing."
"I have also told Lu Yi about this. In this world where one's personal strength can be cultivated to the point where one person can destroy a city alone, one cannot control an organization for a long time just relying on money and power. One must pay equal attention to kindness and power. So she He must have bribed a lot of down-and-out masters and provided them with resources for practice or taken care of their families, right?" Roland shrugged: "Most warriors are simple, and whoever treats them well when they are down will do the same. Repay with your life, not to mention those warriors who still have lovers and relatives. Although this power is not enough to overthrow your royal family, it is enough to cause violent turmoil in the Charles Empire."
"But that's not enough. These warriors bought by Lu Yi will not be able to deal with the army of the Emperor of Judah after all. As long as you can be ruthless, you can still eradicate Lu Yi and her gang members. The result is just the death of some civilians and small nobles. , this is not an unbearable price for you.”
Roland looked at Prince Phillip who was trying to keep his facial expression calm and said, "There is no need to make such an expression in front of me. In the end, Lu Yi just stole my attention. I can basically predict what she will do."
After saying that, Roland leaned his upper body towards Prince Philip: "She put her hand into the army of your Charles Empire, right?"
"Did you teach her this method?" Prince Philip's handsome face finally couldn't help but ask.
After getting the answer he wanted, Roland sat back in his seat, picked up a cup of warm tea and said while drinking: "So, tell me in detail, Lu Yi is in your Charles Empire Military Headquarters How much influence does she have? Does she control the production line of your army's weapons and armor, or does she control the source of your army's food and grass? I remember that one of the soldiers of the Charles Empire I captured mentioned that the food and grass for that expedition was Provided by Lulan Chamber of Commerce.”
"Except for whether the generals who can fight are Lu Yi's men, this woman can't control all other aspects now, right?"
Prince Philip, on the other hand, remained uncharacteristically silent and just replied with silence: "..."
Roland's expression also froze. He looked at the silent Prince Philip with unbearable eyes: "Where did Emperor Judah come from?"
Chapter 126: The author is resurrected
"Where did the Emperor of Judah come from?"
Roland looked at Prince Philip's acknowledgment that he was right, and almost choked the tea he was drinking because he couldn't control his words.
After hearing Roland's words, Prince Philip felt a little uncomfortable with his father's behavior, but as a member of the royal family, he still needed to maintain the dignity of the Emperor of Judah in front of he looked serious and said righteously: "Sir Roland, I need you to correct your unreasonable words towards my father."
Roland didn't care about him at all, but looked at a fool: "What the Emperor of Judah did makes it impossible for me to change my words about him. As the ruler of a country, he would let a businessman intervene in his own army. Not only In this way, you also let Lu Yi control the two most critical things in the army."
Prince Philip suddenly stood up: "Sir Roland, if you still have such a disrespectful attitude, I think there is no need for us to continue talking."
Roland waved his hand: "Well, let's go. By the way, tell the Emperor of Judah that I hope that when I enter Weiner, the white-walled capital of your Charles Empire, what I will encounter is not just the Lulan Chamber of Commerce logo embroidered on the armor. The army, and the woman sitting on the throne deep in the palace is not the woman I hate from the bottom of my heart."
"Hmm." Ethanton, who had been standing behind Prince Philip with his thick hands behind his back, coughed lightly.
Prince Philip's face turned blue and white. After hearing Ethanton's cough, he pulled back his chair and sat at the conference table again with a bad expression.
Naturally, the small actions between Ethanton and Philip could not escape Roland's eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the so-called "bodyguard" in Prince Philip's mouth again without any trace.
Roland had been able to guess the identity of the other party through the dragon aura emanating from Ethanton just now and the dragon's vertical pupils that stood up.
Could it be that the speaker of the Charles Empire’s mission this time was not Prince Philip, but this dragon in human form?Roland thought in his mind.
Prince Philip took a few deep breaths, tried hard to calm down his emotions, and then forced himself to say to Roland without being dissatisfied: "Continuing to say useless words will only waste both of our time, Your Excellency Roland."
"Okay, then let me ask another question." Roland said: "Where are the demigods of your Charles Empire? Do they just let Lu Yi reach into the army at will?"
Instead, Prince Philip asked unexpectedly: "Why does Mr. Roland think that those great demigods care about such trivial things?"
"Little things?" Roland raised his eyebrows.
Philip said matter-of-factly: "As long as it is not something that will destroy Charles' empire, it is insignificant in the eyes of the demigods."
Roland frowned, then relaxed.
So why were the demigods not liquidated for their usurpation of the country by the ancestors of the emperors of Judah?Because the Charles Empire not only did not decline due to the usurpation of the ancestors of Judah, but instead became stronger and stronger, and its territory expanded to an extent second only to the Holy Empire of France.
In other words, if Lu Yi follows the example of Judah's ancestors, as long as the Charles Empire can continue to exist, won't those demigods go to liquidate Lu Yi?
While thinking, Roland's eyes turned coldness in this was not only for Lu Yi, but also for the demigods.
Roland already understood it the final analysis, the demigods only guard the concept of the "Charis Empire". They don't care at all who the ruler of the Charles Empire is, nor do they care what happens to the people living in the empire's territory.
"I see." Roland nodded: "That's why the Emperor of Judah came to me in such a hurry. Without the demigod with the highest combat power, he really can't do anything to Lu Yi, who has almost completely controlled the army."
Prince Phillip nodded with an ugly expression: "Well..."
Although Prince Philip nodded, Roland still felt that the situation was not as simple as he said.
At least the intelligence returned from the faded ones who followed Feiya showed that Judah was at least cooperating with a race that had never appeared in the Salid continent, and the one who suddenly attacked his own people when he attacked Morn City before. Dragon Knight also has tricks.
"The manufacturing sources of armor and weapons are controlled, and the production sources of grain and grass are also controlled. So it is conceivable that the middle and low-level generals in the army of your Charles Empire are or have been bribed or successfully bribed by Lu Yi." Roland shrugged. She shrugged and said, "If she really listened to everything I said before, she would definitely do this. Unless she is a fool."
Prince Philip frowned: "The low-level generals are easily bribed by money and other temptations. I think it is impossible for Lu Yi to bribe the middle-level commanding generals. Because the generals who can hold command seats are loyal to Charles's empire. Geng Geng nobles, they are full of honor and faith, and have seen more of the world than those mud-legged generals who have finally climbed up. Lu Yi's desire to bribe them is simply fantastic."
Roland curled his thought that if those nobles were really loyal, then your ancestors would not usurp the country so easily.
However, Roland did not intend to expose the other party. He knew that a member of the royal family who talked about "honor and faith" like Prince Philip would not believe what he said.
"Okay, you are right." Roland followed Prince Philip's words: "So how do you plan to cooperate with me to kill Lu Yi? I know that His Majesty Judah's purpose of asking me to cooperate is to make Lu Yi The reason for Yi's death is left to me, so that he can accept the 'legacy' and 'resources' left by Lu Yi openly. But I'm afraid that even if your Charles Empire only mobilizes a small army now, it will soon be destroyed by Lu Yi. Does Yi know that?"
Prince Philip replied: "My father still has Shadow Thorns in his hands that Lu Yi can never get his hands on. In the early spring of every year, Lu Yi will go with the headquarters' caravan to various countries to personally understand what products the locals need most. Shadow Thorns will I unknowingly inquired about Lu Yi’s departure time and route in early spring this year..."
"Then tell us this information about the Golden Dynasty and let us get rid of her?" Roland sneered: "Emperor Judah is really scheming. If I really send someone to kill Lu Yi, Judah will not only eliminate a henchman, You can also take the opportunity to slander our Golden Dynasty. I just intend to admit that I killed Lu Yi, and I do not intend to damage the reputation of the Golden Dynasty."
Chapter 127: The editor has been alerted to ask me what happened.
Roland saw through the hidden thoughts of Emperor Judah.
Where in the world is there a free lunch?He would not think that the Emperor of Judah would tell him the coordinates of Lu Yi's trip so simply and could be sure that as soon as he sent people to attack Lu Yi's caravan, the Charles Empire would strike back and point all the contradictions caused by Lu Yi's death at the Golden Dynasty, turning internal turmoil into external factors.
This will not only make it easier for him to take over the power after Lu Yi's death, but also create public opinion in front of other countries.
It can be said that the Golden Dynasty is currently flourishing on the Sarid continent. Roland himself knows that resisting the attack of the Charles Empire actually accounts for a lot of external environmental factors, as well as the opponent's miscalculation of the Golden Dynasty's combination of all these factors has created a situation where Roland is now confident in confronting the Charles Empire and the Holy Empire of France.
But other countries don't know that. In their eyes, the Golden Dynasty is a rapidly rising and highly offensive force. This time, many countries were invited to participate in the founding ceremony with the intention of taking the opportunity to learn more about Roland and the forces behind him. thought.
In other words, there are countless countries on the Salid continent waiting for the opportunity to make trouble for the Golden Dynasty. You must know that anything the Golden Dynasty inadvertently reveals is enough to make them jealous for a long time.
Roland can be 100% sure that as long as the Charles Empire blames all the reasons for Lu Yi's death on the Golden Dynasty and takes the lead, other countries will not refuse to take a share of the pie.
The most important thing is that there is a high probability that the Charles Empire will join forces with the Holy Empire of France to deal with it.
Anyway, it's not the first time they've done he hadn't happened to encounter the undead natural disaster when he was in Leiden City, Roland would have used clever methods to occupy Leiden , the hundreds of soldiers he brought with him at that time may not be able to block Wylis's army and the hidden Holy Wings Legion.
Still the same sentence: There are no eternal allies, only eternal mind that the Holy Empire of France is currently fighting to the death with the Charles Empire, but maybe the top leaders of both sides will collude in the next second.
Prince Philip's repetition of what Roland had said made him more vigilant.
After listening to Roland's words, Prince Philip finally stood up and said: "I have been bothering Mr. Roland for a long time, and it is getting late now. I want to retire to the embassy to rest. As for our cooperation in resisting Lu Yi, I I will come to discuss with you tomorrow and will definitely give both of us a satisfactory answer."
This phrase sounds familiar. Could it be that I said it and then you used it?Roland thought calmly, and then stood up and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture.
"Prince Philip is also asked to go back and have a good rest. If you need anything, please tell the guard at the door directly. As long as the request complies with the laws of the Golden Dynasty, we will satisfy you." Roland said: "Of course, if Prince Philip wants to visit Stonewell City, Please feel free to do so, but please be sure to inform us and travel with the company of our personnel. Don’t get me wrong, I’m just worried that you will encounter the mission of the Holy Empire of France. If our personnel are there, even if you meet the other party It can also avoid some verbal conflicts.”
Prince Philip paused for a moment, and then asked: "Can I know who the envoy from the Holy Empire of France sent this time?"
"It's okay to tell you this. Anyway, you will know it at the celebration in a few days." Roland said in a relaxed tone: "The Holy Empire of France has sent their second prince, third prince and fifth princess. I hope that your Excellency will be with these It would be better if the three of them don’t have any deep hatred.”
Prince Philip bowed slightly to express his gratitude to Roland, and then said: "Don't worry, Sir Roland, there is no personal grudge between us and we will not cause you any trouble."
Then Prince Philip walked out of the room where Roland was handling government affairs, followed by Ethanton. However, when he went out, he looked back at Roland and asked abruptly: "I have a question that I am very curious about, and I would like to ask Lord Roland to help solve it." Confused."
Roland replied: "You tell me."
"Many dragon knights from the Charles Empire died in battle within the borders of your Golden Dynasty before. I want to know how you disposed of the corpses of those dead dragons?" Ethanton's dragon pupil pressed on after asking this question. Looked at Roland closely.
Roland was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would ask such a question.
So he thought carefully and said, "Unfortunately, the corpses of those giant dragons were directly destroyed in the battle. If you don't believe this, you can ask the merchants or bards who witnessed those wars."
"Is that so?" Ethanton nodded and prepared to walk out the door.
At this time, Roland continued: "But there was a dragon knight who was not killed by us, but was killed by Daphne, the legendary ice mage of the Arcane Council."
"Some young dragons can't control their tempers, especially those with fire attributes. It's really easy to attack friendly forces if they get red-eyed on the battlefield. It's understandable that Master Daphne would kill them. "Original. On the contrary, are you telling me this because you want to provoke a conflict between the Charles Empire and the Austrian Parliament?" Ethanton turned around, closed the door, and said in a calm voice.
Roland shook his head innocently: "No, but you don't have to pretend to be from the Charles Empire. I guessed it right. You should be the transformed dragon from Dragon Island, right? I've never seen it before. A giant dragon that can transform into human form."
"You guessed it right." Ethanon admitted openly when his identity was revealed.
Roland smiled and said: "Perhaps you, Dragon Island, should check if anything has happened within the Charles Empire, because the flame dragon that attacked Daphne once roared the word 'traitor' in the sky. Maybe it was." Maybe it discovered some secret of the Charles Empire that made this young flame dragon so furious?"
Ethanton's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded slightly and replied: "I understand."
Then he opened the door and walked out of the room, but the cracked marks on the door handle showed that the other person's heart was not as peaceful as it appeared.
After Prince Philip and Ethanton walked away, Roland breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair.
"How about it? Can you defeat the opponent now?" Roland looked at Malkit and asked.
Malkit nodded with a relaxed expression: "It's just a giant dragon that can transform. It's not like we haven't seen it in Rodel. Roland, don't worry, I won't let this giant dragon have a chance in Stonewell City." Wild."
"Then I'll beg you more," Roland said.
At this time, the system suddenly prompted in my mind.
[Relevant events have been detected, the Latarn Soldier has been unlocked, and the Red Lion Knight has been unlocked. 】
When Roland heard this prompt, he stood up directly with a look of disbelief on his face.
"real or fake?"
Chapter 128: Bernal
What happened, system?How could the Red Lions be suddenly unlocked?Roland asked quickly after being briefly surprised.
The system calmly replied in Roland's mind: [It should be that the person you summoned encountered related events, so the system found that the unlocking conditions were met and unlocked it. 】
Roland nodded slightly to show that he knew. Malkit saw Roland suddenly stood up and stood still and asked, "Well, is that person called 'System' communicating with you?"
Roland came back from his mind, and after hearing Malkit's words, he said to him: "Well, just now it suddenly reminded me that I unlocked the Red Lion Army."
Malkit looked over with golden eyes, her expression slightly moved: "Red Lion Army? Is it General Latarn's Hundred-War Army?"
"If there is no second army called the 'Red Lion Army' at the border, then it must be Latarn's army." Roland shrugged.
Malkit said: "In the second battle to defend Rodel, even if they were enemies, I have to praise Latarn's army for being really brave and good at fighting. Even the soldiers under [Valkyrie] Malenia's command The Corruption Knight is also a little behind. If there were not problems within the coalition forces, the royal city of Rodel might really be in danger."
No, no, no, you are too long as you are here, the coalition forces will not be able to penetrate at complained in his mind.
If the Second Battle of Rodel could be described in simple terms, it would be: the bad omen kills people crazy.
Roland still remembers the scene in the oil paintings of the opening CG of the game, in which Malkit, the evil omen demon, holds a magic staff and suppresses a figure who looks like General Shattered Star, Latarn, under his body. .
"Anyway, with the help of the Red Lion Legion, we will have a much easier time in war matters in the future." Malkit said to Roland.
Roland replied: "Speaking of which, I have always had a question. Compared with the Red Lion Army and the Rodel Knights, which one is more powerful?"
"Of course it's the Knights of Rodel." Malkit answered without thinking, then looked at Ikosela, the Knight of Rodel who had been loyally guarding Roland in the office, and said, "Isn't she just a Rodel who has restored his honor?" Knight Del? But her strength is at the bottom of the real Knights of Rodel. You will understand what I am saying when you summon the real Knight of Rodel."
Ecosela was not angry when faced with Malkit's comments. Instead, he said in a ashamed tone: "I'm very sorry, Lord Roland, but my strength is indeed far inferior to that of the seniors in the Knights. If I was in Duogu City at that time, If the person facing those Pegasus knights is a real Rodel knight, they may not be able to get close to the city wall without being torn apart by the terrifying thunder gun."
Roland waved his hand to signal Ikosela not to take it too seriously and comforted him a few words.
The amount of ether points required to summon a Latarn soldier is 110, which is double that of the Exiled ether points required to summon a Red Lion Knight are 450 points, which is three times that of the Gray Knight.
Just from the amount of ether consumed, you can see how powerful the Red Lion Knight is.
However, although Latarn's army was unlocked, Roland did not have enough ether to summon the established Red Lion now, he still has to prioritize summoning Lani's army, so that he can unlock Lani's summons faster and protect her safety.
Moreover, Roland now has four night cavalry waiting in line to be these powerful warriors, Malkit can successfully carry out his plan in the Salid continent.
"The founding ceremony of the nation is the day after tomorrow. There must be a lot of gangsters sneaking into Stonewell City in the past few days. The security of the city will be troublesome for you and Greg." Roland stretched slightly and said to Malkit.
Malkit showed a confident smile, but this smile looked very ferocious to said: "Don't worry, if someone really dares to do something detrimental to the golden tree under my nose, I will let him use his soul to remember what [evil omen demon ghost] is."
A few minutes earlier on the other side, Bernal, who was wearing a gorgeous poly-beast armor, was slowly arriving at a restaurant run by the residents of the border area while the surrounding passers-by looked at him.
"I'm sorry, the restaurant is not open yet... Ah, it's Mr. Bernard. What would you like to eat in the restaurant?" The owner of the restaurant is a young man. At this time, he is in the small restaurant in person with Hired waiters wipe down tables together.
Bernal took off his beast-gathering helmet, revealing his weathered face. He sat down at a clean table, put the helmet on it and said, "Just have some of those snacks that Roland often talks about."
The young male boss nodded quickly and went to the kitchen to prepare the meals Bernal mentioned.
"I want it for two." Bernal reminded aloud.
Although the male boss didn't understand why Bernal wanted two portions for one person, he still prepared it dutifully, assuming that Mr. Bernal had a good appetite and could eat well.
At this time, Bernal looked out the door and said: "You have followed me all the way, Miss Elf of the Glen Alliance. But your invisibility trick doesn't work in front of the torch at the door, so I think it's better to invite you in directly. .”
At the door of the hotel, Qian Zhuola's slender figure appeared there. The arm that Bernal had originally stood on now grew back with the help of someone unknown, but it was obvious that the new arm was still very fragile. , the sense of strength is somewhat lacking.
