The charming serenade echoed in the hall of the palace. In the banquet hall of the palace, many men and women of the royal family invited by the king were dancing to the music - the identity of Count Rody, the special envoy from the Bright Continent, has been officially revealed. Anyway, he was ready to break up with the temple, so there was no need to do things like peace talks secretly.
Roddy and Miaosi did not dance, they just stood on the sidelines. Miaosi's hand clasped Roddy's arm calmly, but her eyes looked at the dancing crowd around her, and she was vaguely eager to try.
Rody glanced at Miaosi and laughed in a low voice: "What's wrong? Have you never danced before?" After saying this, Rody immediately realized that he had said something stupid. Miaosi used to be a saint in the temple. As a practitioner in the temple, how could she have the opportunity to live such a noble life
Thinking of this, Rody smiled slightly, stood in front of Miaosi, gently stretched out his arms, and made the most standard posture of an aristocratic man.
"please."
A strange color flashed in Miaosi's eyes - even Heisha, who remained calm in the face of thousands of troops, now showed a bit of panic in her eyes. But he bit his lip and put his hand on Roddy's palm.
"You follow me and I will dance with you."
As a result, the most dazzling couple in the audience finally stepped onto the dance floor.
It's true that Miaosi is not good at dancing, but Roddy doesn't seem to be much better than her. Rody's dance steps were specially trained at the Tulip Duke's Palace, and he only knew the simplest techniques. However, in this faint music, the two of them hugged each other gently, with their eyes facing each other. Tenderness can replace everything.
Coupled with Rody's special status, the two gradually became the focus of the audience.
"What? Are you jealous?" Seth pursed his lips and smiled, and couldn't help but glance at Nidis beside him.
As expected, Nidis glared at Rody fiercely, looking like she was gritting her teeth. Hearing this, he gave Seth a fierce look and said coldly: "Are you trying to anger me? Is it good for you to anger me?"
Seth immediately closed his mouth.
Speaking of which, Seth has met his nemesis.
Originally, the proud playboy didn't think highly of Rody. Even if Black Sha dealt with him so miserably, Seth always believed that Miaosi was just relying on her strong strength to force him to submit.
But Nidis, who came back with Roddy this time, made the playboy hit the wall!
In fact, ever since he learned that he was going back to the Empire of Light, Seth had thought of several ways to escape, but in the end, it was not Roddy or Black Sha who ruined his good deeds. But this cunning woman, Nidis!
The night before yesterday. Seth once climbed down from the window in the middle of the night. He originally tried to get a little bit of the spice of the Dark Orchid, which could hide people's whereabouts and even bewitch them invisibly. Although this kind of spice is useless to masters like Roddy Black Sha, it is enough to deal with the royal knights guarding outside the palace.
But Rody had promised from the beginning that Seth could not be allowed to run away. Nidis paid some attention, and she noticed it as early as Seth secretly went to the garden to collect dark orchid spices. But she didn't say anything, but did a little bit...
"Actually, it's not a very complicated thing." Nidis explained to the surprised Roddy and Shasi afterwards: "I just added a little something special to the dark orchids in the garden to attract worker bees. Just spices…”
In fact, Seth, who touched the spices that day and was about to run away, was chased and stung by a large swarm of Mayan poisonous bees, a specialty of the Sauron Kingdom, as soon as he ran into the garden. Among the buzzing swarms, our "Miss Nicole" "The long sleeves are fluttering, how spectacular!
Fortunately, the powerful magician Miaosi existed, and the red envelopes on Seth's face were cured, but it was just a lot of physical pain for him.
After Seth recovered from his injuries, he hatched another escape plan that night. However, he was too conceited, and even if he left, he would seek revenge from Nidis first—and that was the end of it.
Nidis' cunning level is almost as cunning as Seth's. She had already calculated that Seth would definitely run away again, and she would definitely seek revenge on her before she ran away, so she had been on guard.
Unfortunately, it seems that God is not helping Seth. Seth was so stubborn that he managed to get some low-level magic gems and summoned a few black bats...
The result can be imagined, who is Nidis? He is a real vampire! The black bats brought by Seth were waved by Nidis, and she ordered them to rush back to Seth. As a result, our playboy not only received countless red envelopes again this time, but also lost a lot. Blood... You know, the black bat is a "cute" little animal similar to a vampire summoned by dark magic!
After these two experiences, Seth had basically given up on escaping, and even regarded Nidis as a powerful enemy in his life! However, although Miaosi could heal Seth's injuries, the lost blood could not be replaced, so Seth, who had lost too much blood, could not escape even though his body was weak.
Seth secretly looked at Nidis and saw that there was nothing unusual about the expression on her face. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took a few steps away from her.
The song in the field has ended, Roddy is still hugging Miaosi, and both of them seem to be a little intoxicated. Then the music changed to a cheerful rhythm, Miaosi's cheeks were flushed, and she was panting slightly. She didn't know whether it was because she was tired or because she was emotionally moved. Rody even used a pair of strong arms to tightly wrap Miao Si in his arms.
Nidis almost gritted her teeth at the sight, finally sighed, turned to Seth and said coldly: "Hey, shemale, do you want to dance?"
"Huh? What?" Seth's face immediately showed some vigilance.
"I asked you if you want to dance!" Nidis glared at Seth.
Seth curled his lips and whispered: "I'm wearing women's clothes now. Isn't it interesting for two women to dance?"
At this time. I saw Princess Ruolan striding in from the edge of the hall.
The princess still had that shocking energy tonight, deliberately wearing a men's warrior uniform, looking majestic and majestic - but she dressed up like this. He really looks like a man.
Princess Ruolan's eyes were seen scanning the whole place. Seeing Miaosi and Rody dancing happily in the field, her eyes showed a bit of disappointment, but then she saw Seth, her eyes lit up again, and she strode towards here.
Seth reacted very quickly. He had already seen Ruolan when he was still far away. When he saw Ruolan's red eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He quickly said to Nidis: "Do you want to dance?" ? Let’s dance now!”
"Huh? You're not..." Nidis smiled evilly.
"Dance, just dance, where does all this nonsense come from!" Seth said quickly, then grabbed Nidis's hand and ran into the field.
As the two stunning beauties walked into the venue hand in hand, they danced to the music. The people around him couldn't help but be a little surprised. Fortunately, these people probably had their nerves strengthened by the princess's unusual actions, so they didn't react too violently.
Only Ruolan saw that "Miss Nicole" ran away first, with a bit of anger on her face, and she glared at the people present unwillingly.
Halfway through the song, the style of the dance music suddenly changed again. As the dance steps changed, people in the venue began to exchange dance partners according to the dance music. Originally Roddy and Miaosi were a pair, and Nidis and Seth were a pair, but after the change, Nidis had already rushed to grab Roddy, trying to throw Seth to Miaosi. But in the rush, he pulled the wrong person, and when he pulled him over, he realized that the person in front of him was Miao Si!
As a result, it became Seth and Roddy, two men holding hands in an ambiguous posture...
The dance music is still going on, and according to etiquette, it cannot be stopped immediately. However, Seth was dressed in women's clothing at the moment. Roddy had no choice but to suppress the urge to laugh wildly in his heart. He took Seth's hand and let him spin in circles under his arm... and then spun around...
Nidis next to her calmed down after a brief surprise. Her original first goal was to separate Rody and Miaosi, who were in love. Although there was a slight deviation, the basic goal was achieved. But Miaosi didn't expect that much, she just watched Rody pulling Seth to dance with a helpless expression. Seth, however, had to pretend to be a sweetheart...
Two women were dancing and laughing next to each other...
Finally, when the song ended, the two men separated at lightning speed, and Roddy's body had quickly ran towards the outside of the hall. The speed of his movement was almost faster than when he fought with the Dragon Warrior. A few minutes faster - his goal was obvious, to wash his hands in the sink outside!
Seth also seemed to have a bitter look on his face and couldn't help rubbing his hands together.
"I wonder if there is a magic that can cut off your hands and regrow them..."
Rody stood by a pool outside the palace. He had washed his hands several times, but he still felt a chill in his heart. Suddenly a rich voice came from behind.
"Excuse me, are you Count Rody of the Empire of Light?"
Rody turned around and saw a tall middle-aged man standing not far behind him.
This guy has a square face, and the look in his eyes is a bit firm and military-like. And the dress he wears shows that he must be a noble of high status - unlike those nobles who wear colorful clothes, this man's dress is obviously very simple and very straight!
The middle-aged man had already approached Roddy, with a slightly stiff smile on his face. He stretched out a hand and said in a deep voice with his pleasant and rich voice: "My name is Tiger, and I am from the Kingdom of Sauron. The commander of the cavalry. He is also the commander of the Roland coalition in this war!"
"Oh?" Rody was slightly surprised.
It is somewhat incredible to say that the two of them had each commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in the last war between the two continents and fought for such a long time, but the two of them had never really met - even after the Roland coalition surrendered, Roland Dee also did not attend the surrender signing ceremony.
At this moment, I didn't expect that General Tiger would be released so quickly. They must have returned home with the first batch of released prisoners of war.
Rody still did not look down upon his opponent who lost to him on the battlefield. In fact. If it weren't for the many internal conflicts and inconsistent orders among Roland's coalition forces, it would still be very difficult for Rody to defeat his opponent. And it seems from many signs. This General Tiger is indeed an experienced general.
Think of this. Rody also stretched out his hand, shook it with the other person, and said with a smile: "Yes. I am Rody. General Tiger, I am very happy to see you. When did you return to China?"
"Three days ago." Tiger's face became more natural: "Three days ago, the first batch of 100,000 prisoners of war returned home."
Rody nodded and smiled slightly.
Tiger seemed to hesitate. He whispered: "Your Excellency Count Rody, I heard that you were once under the command of Duke Tulip. I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
"What?"
Tiger took a deep breath and said loudly: "This time I was defeated and captured in your country. Although I was defeated, I am convinced of the command and strategy of His Excellency Duke Tulip! The only regret in my heart is that this time in I did not have the opportunity to meet His Excellency Duke Tulip in your country. I would like to ask you that if you meet His Excellency Duke Tulip after returning to your country, please convey my respect for me! As a soldier, you can encounter such a person on the battlefield! It’s an honor for me to be such a powerful opponent!”
"Oh?" Rody was slightly surprised, but he still felt a little ashamed. Unexpectedly, his defeated general would praise him so much, and said sarcastically: "General Tiger doesn't have to be like this. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Why should you be discouraged by a failure? I hope to see General Tiger inspire his military power again. , and made great achievements for your country on the battlefield... Moreover, you must be aware of the situation in your country first, and I think the king still needs you to serve the country! "
There was a sparkle in Tiger's eyes, and he couldn't help but say: "Winning or losing is a common thing for a soldier... This is so good! Your Excellency, Count Rody, your words are so exquisite!"
Rody smiled bitterly and didn't answer - I originally saw this sentence in Dandong's notes. I thought it made sense, so I accidentally said it here.
Seeing that Rody was silent, Tiger laughed loudly and said: "No matter what, after this defeat, I have great admiration for His Excellency Duke Tulip. He is worthy of being a legend in your country! So please accept my request." Help! If I can’t show my respect to this contemporary god of war, I won’t rest in peace!”
Rody quickly agreed: "Okay, I will help you convey this matter."
Tiger seemed to be very grateful. After a pause, he continued: "You once served under the Duke, so you must have experienced it personally during this war?"
"Yes, I was once an officer in the Thunder God's Whip and the captain of Duke Tulip's personal army." Rody used this rhetoric again.
Tiger immediately stood in awe: "I have fully experienced the elite of the Thunder God's Whip this time! I am shocked that your country can have such a powerful army!"
Then Tiger seemed to have a lot of questions in his mind - in fact, after his defeat, he also studied his experience of this defeat and summarized a lot of things. At this moment, I finally met a general who had experienced the same war as myself, and was also a subordinate who defeated his opponent with his own hands. I couldn't help but express some of the questions in my mind that I couldn't figure out.
Roddy seemed to have a good impression of General Tiger. As a defeated general, General Tiger could ignore his so-called face and show respect to his opponent. That was already a big ambition. At this moment, he could still Ask for advice humbly, I think you are a real soldier.
The two talked for a while - for that war, it can be said that no one is more clear about the situation inside than these two people. One was the commander-in-chief of Roland's coalition forces, and the other was the commander-in-chief of the Bright Empire. The two communicated for a while, and General Tiger couldn't help but sigh: "If this is said, then my questions from the beginning will be even more puzzling."
"Oh?" Rody smiled.
Tiger said solemnly: "In fact, from the beginning, I thought this war was very strange! No matter what the conditions are, our Roland continent is far from the strength to conquer your country! But we took the initiative to start this obviously destined war. It is a war that will fail... Although the duty of a soldier is to serve the country, I still can't understand it even though I know that I am going to die. Now after listening to your analysis, I am even more certain that this war was doomed from the beginning! We will fail!"
Roddy naturally knew the answer to Tiger's doubts. All of this was the temple's plan - or that Kara's plan. But after all, due to their respective identities, it was not easy for Rody to say these words, so he just smiled and said: "General Tiger, you and I are both soldiers. Since we can't figure these things out, then let's not think about them at all - these It’s not the responsibility of the military, it’s the responsibility of the politicians.”
Tiger said seriously: "Yes, your words make sense! I have a feeling that major changes will happen in Roland Continent, otherwise His Majesty would not be so anxious to exchange us back - and it still cost 800 warships!" "
Rody nodded, "After you return to China this time, I guess His Majesty the King will definitely put you to good use, and there will definitely be room for your abilities to be used."
Tiger shook his head and said: "Although I am a soldier, I am not a war fanatic. Things like war should be avoided if possible. Once a war occurs, it will cost countless money, food, and human lives."
Rody was in awe and said seriously: "I didn't expect you to have such a noble idea."
Tiger smiled bitterly, seemed to look around, with a somewhat hesitant expression on his face, and whispered: "Your Excellency, if I am not wrong, then His Majesty must have changed us back in such a hurry this time. We are preparing to fight against the temple! You must know this... But from your point of view, can we win?"
Rody couldn't help but smile and said, "General Tiger, it seems inappropriate for you to ask me this question, right?"
Tiger smiled faintly, "There is nothing inappropriate. Anyway, everyone knows this matter, and I also have some ideas in my mind. However, our Kingdom of Sauron currently lacks talents. It is rare to meet someone who knows the military like you. Naturally, I can’t help but ask you for some advice.”
Rody's heart moved and he couldn't help but smile: "General Tiger, these words of yours must have been asked by His Majesty the King to ask me, right?"
"That's right!" Tiger didn't mean to object at all. "Although I don't understand what His Majesty meant, he actually asked me to come to you to talk about these things, and he valued you very much in his words. I was a little confused at first, but After talking to you just now, I discovered that you do have extraordinary insights into these matters. If I came to you just now based on His Majesty's order, then I ask these questions now entirely out of my personal respect for you. !”
Rody squinted his eyes and looked at Tiger for a while.
Although he didn't have a good impression of the king, it was obvious that the king was planning to use him for the last time and dig out the last bit of use value from him before leaving. However, the General Tiger in front of him did make Roddy feel somewhat fond of him. This guy dares to speak and act without any hypocrisy. He is exactly the kind of person Roddy admires.
After thinking about it, Roddy sighed, forget it, for Tiger's sake, I won't embarrass him anymore.
"General Tiger, if you must listen to my opinion..." Rody said seriously: "To be honest, I think that even if more than a dozen countries in Roland unite to fight against the temple this time, they may not be able to win! "
"Oh?" Tiger just raised his eyebrows, but didn't show too much surprise.
Rody nodded and said: "To put it more clearly, the quality of the army is an issue! I admit that if more than a dozen countries in Roland unite, you will naturally have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of armies! The sanctity of the temple The Knights, no matter how much they expand, can only number 200,000 people. If the dozen or so countries in Roland Continent really work hard, it will not be difficult to piece together an army of more than one million people... However, The combat effectiveness of an army does not lie in its large numbers, but in its elites!"
"Not bad!" Tiger sighed: "If we only rely on quantity to compare, then we will not lose to you. I later learned that your Thunder God's Whip had just been reorganized before the war. That war Among them, your Central Cavalry Corps only has 50,000 people on the battlefield. But these 50,000 people, combined with your Northern Army Corps, can actually defeat our huge army of 800,000 people."
"Yes, the combat effectiveness of the Holy Knights is no less than that of the Thunder God's Whip, and more importantly..." Rody thought for a while and said: "It's the people's support! The temple has ruled the Roland continent for too long, whether it is among the nobles or the people. At that time, almost most of them believed in the temple. Even if the king ordered a war, the people would still have two opinions when the time came! I even doubt that after the war begins, the people in the rear will riot before your frontline retreats! "
"Yes." Tiger's face looked a little melancholy, "This is also a concern in my heart. The temple has won people's hearts in a religious way! A war will be terrible if we cannot win people's hearts."
Rody smiled slightly and said: "However, it is not impossible to defeat the temple. It's just..."
Tiger raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "It's just what? You don't have to worry about it, just say it."
Rody looked at Tiger with a smile and said slowly: "I'm afraid that if I say these words, you will think that I have selfish motives."
Tiger immediately said proudly: "You don't have to do this. Besides, I'm not a fool. If you really have bad ideas to harm me, wouldn't I be able to tell?"
Rody smiled lightly, then put away his smile and said seriously: "My method is to delay!"
"drag?"
"Not bad!" Rody's eyes flashed: "Delay! The longer the war is delayed, the better! It is best to fight for three to five years, or even longer, and it is nothing to fight for ten to eight years! "
"What?" Tiger finally showed a surprised look in his eyes, "Wanting for ten or eight years? Do you know how much damage such a war will cause to Roland Continent?"
Having said this, his eyebrows showed a bit of anger, and he looked at Roddy fiercely.
"I know!" Rody said coldly: "The longer the war drags on, the more people will die, and the vitality of Roland Continent will be greatly weakened..."
"Since you know this, you gave me such a suggestion!" Tiger narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Does your Bright Empire hope to lead the Thunder God after our Roland Continent is devastated? Come across the sea with a whip?"
"Hahahahahaha..." Rody laughed wildly, and his laughter was a bit shocking, which made Tiger couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"General Tiger, I just said that you may not be able to listen to my suggestion. In that case, I will just stop here."
Tiger's eyes showed a complicated look, and he seemed to hesitate for a while before he bowed, raised his head and said seriously: "I am too impatient. Please continue talking."
Rody looked at Tiger coldly and said calmly: "Don't you doubt my intentions?"
Tiger said: "Doubtful! But I think more."
After a pause, the number one general of the Kingdom of Sauron said seriously: "Based on the discussion I just had with you, I can tell that your talent is extraordinary. Even if you want to plot against us, Xiang Bi will never say such a thing. It’s a plan that people can see through, so I think you must have a deeper meaning!”
Rody narrowed his eyes and stared at Tiger, and suddenly there was a feeling in his heart - what if...
If the Roland coalition had not been internally disunited and had inconsistent orders during the war, then it might not be that easy for me to defeat this guy!
Rody finally withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "Okay... General Tiger, in your opinion, you must have analyzed the war between your country and the temple. What weaknesses do you think the temple has? What can be used?"
"This..." Tiger just hesitated for a while, and then said: "I think the biggest weakness of the temple is that their army is too small. Although the Holy Knights are powerful, if we take advantage of the number of people and compete with them, , there may not be a chance..."
"Hahahaha..." Rody deliberately laughed coldly a few times, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Are you telling me lies? If your knowledge is only this, then I really doubt that the so-called number one in the Kingdom of Sauron is How come the commander-in-chief, General Tiger, only has so little knowledge!”
Tiger's face turned red before he gritted his teeth and said, "I...well, my opinion is that the temple lacks a foundation!"
"Oh?" Rody was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that this pure soldier would actually see this!
Logically speaking, the temple has ruled the Roland continent for thousands of years! Its history is even older than that of many small kingdoms, but Tiger just said that the temple lacked a "foundation"!
Rody sighed: "I didn't expect you to have thought of this."
After a pause, Rody decided not to talk in circles with him anymore, and said seriously: "If you want to hear my opinion, then I will speak out!"
Tiger nodded, looked around again, and then took Rody to the edge of the pool and sat down.
Rody pondered for a while and then spoke slowly.
"Although the temple is extremely influential in Roland Continent, it has one of the most fatal weaknesses! It does not have its own territory! It can be said that even the weakest country on Roland Continent has its own territory and its own The people have their own grain fields and land, but the temple does not have these!”
"In other words, the temple has always relied on its own prestige to rule Roland Continent. Its financial revenue only relies on the offerings from various countries in Roland Continent, as well as various religious taxes among the people!"
"You also know that in wars, you fight for money and food! Without territory, there is no money and food! Its Holy Knights are an extremely elite army, but the more elite the army, the more terrifying it is to spend money. … Hum hum…”
"At the beginning of the war, the temple may still have a lot of money and food that can be used, but it is impossible that these money and food will never be spent. And in terms of financial resources, the dozen or so countries in Roland Continent combined are stronger than the temple. Right? Huh, I think that at the beginning, the temple may be able to defeat you with its powerful army... But as long as you can lead the army to fight steadily and delay the opponent... "
"The temple will definitely feel that it cannot hold on! Once the war starts, the countries in Roland Continent will no longer continue to tax the temple. The temple will lose money and food and become a big tree without roots!"
"Why can the temple win the hearts of the people now? I think the worship of gods or the blessings of gods are all fake! I don't know if you know? According to my understanding, currently, the average family in Roland Continent has a year's income share If it is ten percent, four-tenths of it must be paid to various national taxes, and only two-tenths of it is paid to the temple! The rest is actually not much for ordinary people. Many people think that the temple’s taxes are low and the kingdom’s taxes are high, so in their minds, the temple is better than the kingdom!”
"If it were me, I would immediately lower the kingdom's taxes before the war begins! To a ridiculously low level! Then after the war begins, at the beginning, you will definitely lose first and lose some territory. But in order to gain the temple, With the support of money and food, it will definitely start to collect taxes... In this way, no matter how much taxes it collects, it will definitely lose the support of the people! According to my guess, the temple's current financial resources can only sustain the war in the face of a full-scale war on the entire continent. Half a year to a year. When it runs out of money and food, taxation is inevitable. In this way, the tax collected by the temple will inevitably be higher than that of the kingdom, because if the tax is lower, it will not be enough at all. The temple!"
"But… "
Rody smiled and said: "People's hearts are selfish! If you ask an ordinary family to hand over 20% of their income every year to worship the temple and believe in the gods, maybe they can accept it; but if you ask them to hand over half or even more than half If you use your income to worship gods, then many people will not be willing... Facing such big things as survival and eating, faith and religion become insignificant! "
Rody smiled deeply: "I know that maybe some religious fanatics may even donate all their property. But those kind of lunatics are in the minority after all. It would be great to have one religious fanatic among a thousand people!" The majority, um, no, it should be the vast majority of people, are very ordinary people. In this way, things will become much simpler. The temple has lost the support of the people. As long as you persist long enough, the final victory will not be. There is no hope."
"Another important point is that there are only 200,000 Holy Knights in the temple. Their only way is to defeat your main force in a big battle as soon as possible. Therefore, you might as well give up some territory and avoid each other. . If the temple wants to occupy those territories, it can only divide its troops to guard them, making their already numerically disadvantaged troops even weaker... You don't have to worry about the issue of troop strength, just let it occupy the place, and wait until they divide their troops to guard it before going. Just take it back. No matter how elite the Holy Knights are, those small local defenders will not be able to resist them! In short, the purpose is to prevent them from receiving money, food and taxes smoothly!"
Rody sighed: "Actually, the most difficult thing about this method is the early stage of the war! Those guys in the temple are not all fools. There will always be people who will think of this and will definitely try their best to end the war as soon as possible - so in the early stage of the war, You will be under great pressure! Therefore, persistence is the only way! If...if you are not defeated by the temple within two years, the situation will get better after two years!"
Tiger took a deep breath, as if trying to digest Rody's words. He then smiled bitterly and said: "What you mean is that in the early stages of the war, we were asked to lower taxes to win the hearts of the people, but our huge army also needs money to support..."
Rody sneered and said: "With the financial resources of more than a dozen countries in Roland Continent, it will definitely last longer than the temple! Even if you can't financially support it in the end... Humph, then has the king forgotten that there is a dwarf country behind him! There is a dwarf country behind him! People are not from the Roland continent, so they can levy high taxes at will! The dwarves don’t even have their own army now, and there is an inland sea in between! Do you think the temple can reach the dwarf country? And how much does the dwarf country do the ironwood trade? It’s been a hundred years, and they are very rich!”
After a pause, Rody said cautiously: "Even if you still can't support it in the end... Our Bright Empire can consider funding you with some money and food at the appropriate time... Of course, in order to ensure our position and not to make you uneasy, we will not We will send troops directly across the sea!”
Tiger smiled bitterly and said: "This plan is too weird... But now that I think about it, it is the only way. However, I am really not very proficient in finance... "
Rody was heartbroken, and he simply came up with another bad idea, "There are so many kingdoms in Roland, so many nobles, and their families are often filled with slaves. They are as rich as the country. If you are really short of money and food, you might as well attack these nobles! Conquer their homes. Hasn’t the king done this before
Tiger's face turned pale with fear and he couldn't help but said: "This is not okay..."
Rody looked calm, "When things reach a critical moment, everything can be changed! If you can't figure it out, then the king must be able to figure it out!"
Tiger's face was uncertain, and he seemed to be a little hesitant. He finally gritted his teeth and said in a solemn voice: "I thank you in advance for your advice! Although I have some reservations about your opinions, I must I will convey these words to His Majesty the King...and..."
Tiger seemed to have finally made up his mind and said: "I admire you very much. I wonder if Mr. Earl is interested in staying in Roland Continent and helping me? I will definitely convince His Majesty the King to give you the best treatment... I think... "
Rody smiled faintly. Tiger didn't know his identity, but the king knew it. He simply refused. Tiger still refused to give up and even came up with the idea of using the relationship between the two parties as an ally to invite Rody to help him as a military advisor, but Rody also refused.
Finally, the commander of the Kingdom of Sauron sighed and said slowly: "Unexpectedly, Duke Tulip of the Bright Empire has so many talented people. Although I have never seen the strength of the earl with my own eyes, after talking about it today, I was impressed. !”
After a pause, Tiger sighed: "It seems that in my life, I will never have the chance to compete with Lord Tulip Duke again on the battlefield! I am convinced by your country's powerful army and talents!"
The general finally bowed to Rody and then walked away proudly.
Rody breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn back to the hall when he heard Nidis' voice next to him.
Nidis laughed sharply: "You Roddy! I didn't expect that you had such sinister intentions and gave the Roland people such a desperate idea! If the Roland people listen to your nonsense, even if they finally defeat the temple, I am afraid that the entire There is no one in Roland Continent who can’t breathe for a hundred years!”
