Lord of War

v4 Chapter 72 - . Self-defeating

  Azik gestured to the side, and a young man in a dark black arbitrator robe stood up.

  After saluting everyone, he did not introduce himself or anything, but rather simply put a palm-sized disc on the table. As he fiddled with it, a light blue light burst out on the disc. After the initial blur, this light would soon show a map in miniature.

  The people present only glanced at it and knew that this map epitome was the land map of the entire Fascist kingdom.

  However, as the young man adjusted again, there were a few more areas on this map microcosm, which were the border area of ​​the Kingdom of Line that bordered the Kingdom of Fascism and the border area of ​​the Principality of Ekiri.

   Then soon, an area on the map was slightly raised, and it felt like this area was slightly enlarged, and the surrounding edge lines also glowed red.

  This area is the territory of the Fascist Kingdom completely occupied by the Kingdom of Line and the Duchy of Void at this moment.

  Shaun glanced at the map and the young man who was playing with the equipment, and then at Azik, who also looked at Shaun.

“Thanks for your hard work.”

  After taking a look at Sean, Azik quickly retracted his gaze, and then he stood up and said to the young man beside him. The young man replied and sat down. At this time, Azik glanced around at the people around him, and then said: “This red area is the territory of the Kingdom of Fascism that is now occupied by the Alliance of the Kingdom of Line and the Void Duchy.”

  As Azik’s words fell, a blush appeared in the territory in the southeastern region of the Kingdom of Fascism, bordering the Principality of Ekiri, including the Ellison region taken by Sean.

“And this…” When Azik said here, he looked at Sean specifically, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. That kind of smug smile made Sean want to punch him in the face. The Principality of Ekiri, which is severely persecuted by the Void Principality!”

  Sean yawned very cooperatively: “What about then?”

“Then?” Azik was stunned. He didn’t expect Sean to show such a reaction, but his long standing status still lets him know what to say at the moment. “Does Duke Sean want that? Is the entire Southern Continent into war?”

“I just told you that I had severely persecuted the Principality of Ekiri.” Sean shrugged, “Where have I been persecuted? … Besides, if I really persecuted the Principality of Ekiri, then today Why didn’t the people of the Principality of Kiri participate in the Libra Conference? Shouldn’t they be the one who should accuse them?”

  ”On this matter, the Principality of Ekili has entrusted our Peace Parliament Arbitration Panel with full authority to be responsible.” Azik said in a deep voice, “So regarding this matter, I hope that Duke Shawn can give you a reasonable explanation.”

   “Explain?” Sean looked at Azik, then smiled, “What’s the explanation?”

   “Why persecute the Principality of Ekiri? Why start this war? Why…”

   “How can there be so many whys.” Before this Azik had finished speaking, Sean had already ruthlessly interrupted the other’s momentum building.

  Sean, who is familiar with negotiation, of course knows why this Azik talks so much nonsense for the purpose of creating a kind of momentum, so as to completely control the rhythm of the entire negotiation, so as to form a suppression of Sean’s side. To be reasonable, Sean should naturally not interrupt the other party’s speech at this time, but should wait for the other party to finish speaking before answering.

  But, are you reasonable to Sean?

   “There is always someone responsible for what they have done before.” Sean said in a deep voice, “Some things will always be remembered as long as they have been done.”

  Sean’s words are obviously a pun.

  Azik’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice became much lower, “I don’t know what the matter is, Grand Duke Sean?”

  ”About an assassination conspiracy that year.” Sean and Azik looked at each other for a long time, then turned to look at one of the members of the Fascist Kingdom’s envoy, “Your Excellency Turin, do you remember that?”

  Everyone’s eyes immediately gathered on Turin Wiles.

  As the current patriarch of the Wiles family, Turin Wiles inherited the title of Duke of Platinum, which is a duke title of orthodox blood.

  In the circle of nobility in the Fascist Kingdom, the Wiles family is not the founding patriarch, but it is definitely a well-known old noble. This family has given birth to five dukes. It is not the kind of hereditary title that inherited the ancestor’s name. Instead, it branched out from the family and then relied on its own efforts to eventually climb to the title of duke. Although to this day, these four offshoot families only have the title of “Duke Yanliu” in the end, and the other three branches can only rely on these two families, but anyway, the title of Duke of Platinum remains in the entire fascist kingdom. It is a representative of a pivotal position.

  And Turin, inheriting this title and fame, naturally represents his status and prestige in the Kingdom of Fascism.

  Nominally, the head of the fascist kingdom envoy was someone else, but in reality, Turin Wiles was the real host of the envoy.

“I don’t know what Duke Sean are you talking about.” Turin, who had been closing his eyes and thinking, finally opened his eyes and looked at Sean, and then said, “What assassination plot? I don’t quite understand… and Now what we’re discussing seems to be why Grand Duke Sean you want to persecute the Principality of Ekiri, or even seize the territory of the Principality of Ekiri? What does it matter what conspiracy, assassination, etc. have to do?”

  A man with a clever tongue.

  This is Sean’s first impression of Turin.

   Just a few simple words, once again control the initiative of the negotiation-if it is a normal negotiation.

“You may think it’s okay, but I think it’s a big deal.” Sean smiled, his face also showing a bit of hideousness, “What are you doing when my sergeant is on the front line resisting the tide of undead death? Pull my hind legs! It is causing civil turmoil behind me! If I hadn’t arrived in time, the wild fortress would have been captured by the undead army at that time. What will happen then, you silly guys would not know?”

  Speaking of this, Sean looked at Azik again, and said coldly: “Or, do you think you are sure to form a larger army of undead after annexing the Wildlands?”

“It’s ridiculous, after you swallowed the entire wilderness, those tribal leaders were dissatisfied with you and decided to rebel. Can this kind of thing be blamed on other people?” Turin sneered, not loud, but still Filled with a contemptuous tone, “The rumored Lord Void, turned out to be such a **** that shifts the responsibility to other people?… Hey, Mr. William, I admire you very much. The lord you follow seems to be nothing. Good luck, it’s better to switch to me. My Wiles family and the fascist kingdom really need talents like you.”

   “Oh, take refuge in someone who wanted to kill me?” William squinted Turin, his eyes and tone of contempt, “I’m not that cheap yet.”

   “Mr. William, I don’t know what you are talking about.” Turin had a stunned expression, “A talent like you, it’s too late to welcome me, how could I want to kill you?”

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

“Enough, now I’m discussing the matter of the Void Principality invading and occupying the territory of the Ekiri Principality.” Azik said in a deep voice, “What is the feast between you? It is a matter between you. I represent peace. The parliament presided over this meeting of Libra to resolve the turmoil caused by the Void Principality and the Kingdom of Lane in the southern continent.”

   “So, how does the Peace Council plan to solve it?” Sean did not continue to haunt Turin. To be honest, he was really curious about what the Peace Council planned to do this time.

   “It’s very simple, the war stops.” Azik said coldly, his tone of voice has become unusually strong.

   “Is it just that the war stopped?” A smile appeared on Sean’s face.

   Azik glanced at Sean, and his instinct told him that the look that Sean showed at this moment was obviously malicious. But because of his duty, it is impossible for him not to answer at this time, so he can only nod and say: “Yes, the first is to stop the war. The armies of your two countries must withdraw from the land of the Fascist Kingdom within a week.”

   “So what about the currently occupied territory?” Sean didn’t mean to speak, so it was Arlan who spoke at the moment.

“Return all.” Azik glanced at Arlan before continuing, “This is not your territory, you are the invaders. Of course, the Fascist Kingdom, as the current defeated party, will also pay a certain amount of materials and resources. As a price to redeem this territory.”

As Azik’s words fell, the middle-aged man, who nominally represented the head of the fascist kingdom’s envoy, took the words with a smile, and then handed in a form to Arlan and Sean. The material resources of the so-called “redemption of territory” are listed.

  After reading this form, Arlan looked a little ugly.

   And Sean even let out a mocking sneer.

  According to the statistics in this table, they will pay a pension of ten gold coins for each of the war dead. In addition, they will pay 100,000 gold coins or equivalent materials as the redemption funds for the territory. Moreover, the statistics of the number of deaths are determined by the Kingdom of Fascism. That is to say, as shown on the form handed to Sean, Sean only killed about 20,000 people in the battle, including the ransom of 100,000 gold coins. The Kingdom of Fascism will compensate Sean for less than 300,000 gold coins.

  This is no longer a phrase “to send a beggar” to describe it.

   is totally bullying.

  ”This…” Arlan’s brows frowned, and when people like Old Hatch, Cos, Florence and others saw this form, the expressions on their faces looked very wonderful.

   “Are there anything dissatisfied with Your Highness Arlan?” The head of the envoy of the Fascist Kingdom still had a smile on his face and seemed full of sincerity.

   “It’s okay to ask me to retreat, but this compensation…” Arlan thought for a while, and said, “It seems a bit low.”

“We can discuss it again.” The middle-aged man said with a smile, “Our fascist kingdom and the Lane kingdom have always been friendly, so this time we suddenly sent troops to attack, of course, there must be some misunderstanding… In order to eliminate our misunderstandings and prove that our fascist kingdom is really sincere, we can triple the compensation.”

Hearing what this person said, Sean knew that the form that the other party handed to Arlan must be different from the one he had. Otherwise, the other party had no reason to just say that it was tripled, instead of telling more accurate compensation materials. .

   “So, what’s the answer from the Kingdom of Lane?” Azik spoke in a timely manner, exerting pressure on Arlan.

   Feeling the eyes of almost everyone in the conference room, especially the heavy pressure of the peace envoys, Arlan’s face was slightly pale, and fine sweat appeared on his forehead. How could Arlan, who is just an ordinary person, be able to withstand this pressure, and his heart also has deep scruples about the Peace Council. At this moment, the Fascist Kingdom is backed by the Peace Council, and they have indeed appeared extremely strong.

  So after weighing it up, Arlan finally gritted his teeth and nodded: “The Kingdom of Lane accepts this proposal, and we will immediately withdraw our troops and leave your country’s territory.”

“Your Royal Highness Arlan, please rest assured that we will sort out the relevant compensation resources soon, and you can bring them with you when you return home this time.” The middle-aged man displayed a very happy smile, “Then, I don’t know. Duke Void, do you have anything to say about this compensation? If you are not satisfied, I can also increase it three times… Well, or give a whole number, one million Pan-Continent gold coins, what do you think?”

   “Heh.” Xiao En laughed: It really is very different from Arlan’s compensation form.

   “Is it, the Void Principality is not willing to retreat?” Azik asked with a solemn face, matching his identity as a long black arbitrator, indeed a bit majestic.

   “Retreat? All right.” Sean nodded.

   “So…” The corners of Azik’s mouth raised slightly. Although it was not obvious, there was a bit of pride in his eyes.

It’s a pity that before he could finish his words, Xiao En had already smashed the so-called compensation form directly on the face of the middle-aged man from the Fascist Kingdom’s envoy.

  Shaun is really venting his anger this time.

  It’s just that he still deliberately left a bit of a point, so these hardened papers with Sean’s grudge did not directly explode the opponent’s head, but they also smashed the opponent’s face into bruises.

  The super strong man holding a long sword immediately looked at Xiao En, and his heavy aura pressed him over without mercy.

   But before this momentum was suppressed on Xiao En, it was like being blocked by something, and it exploded directly, exploding the improvised conference table to pieces. But the moment the wooden table was exploded, these wooden blocks had been directly turned into wood dust in the air before they were scattered all over, flying away completely.

  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 giant man who had been sitting in the corner of the temporary meeting room and the enchanting beauty also looked at Alexis at the same time.

  Heavy and terribly low air pressure began to permeate the conference room.

  Everyone felt a very strong and terrible pressure, which made their breathing harder, as if the oxygen in the air became scarce.

“Didn’t I tell you? I agree to retreat.” Sean laughed and broke the moment of silence. “But it’s not in accordance with your so-called compensation method…. It is very simple to ask me to retreat. The murderers who assassinated William and caused the death of my follower Anno must all be handed over.”

   “What does this conspiracy have to do with our fascist kingdom?” The middle-aged man who was bruised and **** could not help but roar.

“Because it is the Wiles family in your kingdom who is taking the lead.” Sean said in a deep voice, “but as far as I know, the people who are really involved in the action are 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 Kingdom of Fascism!” the middle-aged man shouted furiously, “You are scorning the authority of the Libra Conference!”

“Okay, if the Peace Council has this attitude, it would still be authoritative.” Sean curled his lips in disdain. Since it has completely erupted, then of course he has no need to continue to forbear, “compensate me for a million yuan. Mainland gold coins? I’ll give you two million. How about you give me all the territories occupied by the Kingdom of Lane and me? The cost of mobilizing my nation’s troops is more than that. Will you send the beggar?”

   “That was an invasion that 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 everything will be ignored.”

  ”Funny.” Turin Wiles finally said, “You keep saying that I am plotting, so what evidence do you have?”

   “I know that you are such a stupid. You like to deny it.” Xiao En suddenly showed a happy smile, “but don’t worry, I’m already ready….Magic boy.”

  As Sean clapped his hands, the door of the meeting room was finally opened again.

  One of the original members of the 13th Coffin of the Deadthorn who was dispatched by Sean to the Kingdom of Fascism to collect relevant evidence, Ghost Sword Demon Boy walked in slowly from the door.

“One of the thirteen coffins of the original Deaththorn, Ghost Sword. Demon Boy, don’t you need me to introduce it anymore?” Sean looked at Turin and said coldly, “Now it is my person, the execution of the Void Realm. One of the officials. I was arranged to come to the Kingdom of Fascism to collect your stupid evidence, so I have collected a lot of your actions against me. Otherwise, why do you think I was so against you? ?”

  Turin’s face changed slightly, and the aura of the whole person instantly became completely different.

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

   “Pop, papa.”

Sean clapped three times in succession, and it was still very forceful. Everyone’s eyes could not help being attracted by Sean’s actions again: “Sorry, I just like this kind of face-slapping behavior. You peace council is not 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 requirements, otherwise the war can only continue.”

   Azik glanced at Turin, the look on his face was not very good, but he still took a deep breath and calmed down before turning his head to look at Arlan: “What about the attitude of the Kingdom of Ryan?”

At this time, Arlan also knew that the scene of the war was not something he could intervene, and the loss during this dispatch was not particularly great for the Kingdom of Line—at least the kingdom’s army suffered little loss, but the real losses were on the border. Private soldiers of several lords.

   “The Kingdom of Lane has said before, we will retreat soon.” Arlan smiled and said, “This is the battle of Vengeance of the Void Lord, and it has nothing to do with me.”

  Shaun glanced at Arlan and didn’t say anything, but he also knew that the friendship between the Void Principality and the Kingdom of Lane was over. Because this time the Libra Conference was attended by Arlan on behalf of the Kingdom of Ryan, it also represented that the next king of the Kingdom of Ryan was the three princes in front of him. The choice Arlan made at this moment is naturally the future attitude of the Kingdom of Ryan to the Duchy of Void.

“I understand.” Azik nodded, and then looked at Sean, “Grand Duke Sean, do you insist on causing a war on the South Continent for personal emotional reasons? You know, now There is also the threat of death tide, if…”

“You also know that there is still the threat of death tide?” Xiao En’s face looked very contemptuous, which is a real disdain, “Since you know that my Void Principality is blocking the path of death tide south, then you Think I can tolerate someone pulling my hind legs?… I have already made it very clear that this is my condition, and there is no second choice.”

   “Does the Void Principality insist on not retreating?” Azik looked directly at Sean.

“Heh, the Peace Council? A fair and fair Libra Conference?” Sean raised the corner of his mouth. It was a complexion of contempt and ridicule. Will stop.”

  ”Do you want to start war on the four fronts?” Azik asked in a deep voice, “Even the seven 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 intends to join the fascist kingdom?”

   Azik did not answer, but looked at Sean quietly.

  In fact, even if Azik did not answer, Sean knew the threat in the Peace Council’s words.

  Lake’s death wave, the battle of the fascist kingdom, and the subsequent revenge of the death thorn. Even with the intervention of the Peace Council, it is actually only a third line. The real fourth line is the multinational coalition forces from the wild land near the entrance of the three regions on the western continent-and this is the important weight that the Peace Council intends to use to exert pressure and influence on Sean from the beginning. Code: As long as Shaun is willing to accept the arrangement of the Libra Parliament, no matter if the Peace Parliament does not take action, the multinational coalition forces here will definitely not be able to continue to trouble the Void Principality.

   But once the war between William and the Fascist Kingdom is stalemate, coupled with the indulgence 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 wars on both sides is also a huge test for the material consumption and supplies of the Void Principality. Once the Void Principality cannot support these two national wars, then let alone the Void Empire, can it? It is hard to say to keep the existing scale.

  Especially at this moment, the Kingdom of Lane represented by Arlan has officially broken with the Void Duchy.

  ”Also, please consider Duke Sean carefully.” Azik said with a calm expression.

  This look is almost as if he has eaten Sean to death—in fact, any person who is sane enough to face this kind of conspiracy-like threat can only choose to compromise.

  But unfortunately, Sean does not seem to be a sane person.

   “You guys, really…” Sean suddenly laughed, “I’m really looking for a dead end.”

   “What?” Azik still didn’t react.

“As long as you stay here in the Peace Council, how else can you support the Fascist Kingdom?” Sean laughed, “I know…. Your Peace Council, you 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 powerhouses to support in a short time, otherwise, there will be no two newcomers who have just entered the realm of super powers to follow. “

   Azik’s pupils suddenly shrank: “Are you… crazy?”

   “Do it!” Shaun ignored the other party, but shouted in a deep voice!

  But this anger did not speak directly, but an order issued in the soul contract.

  The next moment, a storm suddenly rolled up in this conference room.

  A touch of dazzling radiance instantly bursts brightly.

  The entire conference room was shattered by a powerful force at this moment, and it was far more than just the conference room, but also included a large building around the conference room. It’s just that the identities of the people in the conference room are too sensitive and noble at the moment, so even if there is a sudden burst of power, there is still a certain degree of protection for everyone in the conference room, but those people around the conference room are not so lucky. .

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

  Three superpowers from the Peace Council, protecting the five arbitrators, appeared in the garden outside the conference room.

Kristina protected the envoys of the Fascist Kingdom from the horror whirlpool in the meeting room, but Kristina was not too strong, so she could only protect two people, one of whom happened to be both. Ling Wiles, and the other three unlucky ghosts are not so lucky.

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

Elsie stood in front of Hatch Boulder. Even though Elsie had a lot of resentment towards his father, he was also his biological father anyway, so at this critical juncture, he still chose shelter. Even with this, Florence, who was sitting next to the old Duke of 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, it was on Sean’s side. Because there were three super powers, there was no damage at all. After all, this was Sean’s first move.

  After all the smoke and dust in the entire conference room diffused, Alexis had slowly walked out with a spear, her eyes firmly locked on the gray-haired middle-aged swordsman from beginning to end. Among the people present, only this swordsman can bring a strange feeling to Alexis-it belongs to the strong intuition. As for the other two who are both super strong, they are not worthy of Ali at all. Xis paid too much attention.

  However, with the explosion of this force, the twenty golden robe executives from the Peace Council have all gathered at this moment.

  As Xiao En expected, these golden robe executives were also strictly selected. Except for a few who only had the strength of the middle sanctuary, most of them were 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 high-ranking sanctuary and four middle-ranking sanctuary.

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

  As Sean said, if he can wipe out or leave all this force here, it will definitely be a serious blow to the Peace Council. At least, Sean is convinced that once the Peace Council is hit hard here, it will become more cautious about whether to continue to support the fascist kingdom-even if they still decide to support, they need to re-mobilize strength, and this will take time.

  Time is what Shaun lacks right now.

   “What a big feast.” Elsie smiled.

“Does the Twilight Church also intend to intervene?” Seeing Elsie and the three artifacts that Elsie had just released to resist the powerful explosive force, how could the Peace Council fail to recognize the identity of the person in front of him, “This is a royal power war. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with your theocracy, right?”

   “Hey, Sean, you want me to teach in your country when you turn around.” Elsie turned her head and looked at Sean.

   “Of course.” Sean said with a smile, “I will prepare several churches for you.”

   “Look, it’s not a royal dispute anymore. This is related to the faith cohesion of my Twilight Church.” Elsie smiled. (To be continued~^~)
