Age of Arcane

Pan couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Yin, you go out first!"

Yin didn't dare to disobey his brother's order, so he saluted Luke and left the room.

After the door was closed, Pan said to Luke: "According to what Yin said, the appeal of the Moonlight Royal Court is handed over to the Shuojin Elder's House for decision. But I remind you not to hold out too much hope, and don't anger the Shuojin Civilization." , the strong will not bow to the weak."

Luke said indifferently: "Then wait for the reply from the Elder's House. Before that, I will not disclose any information about Moonlight King's Court and World Tree to Shuojin Civilization."

After listening to Luke's words, Pan found that his prediction was too accurate. The first step of this seemingly simple task hit the wall.

At the same time, Pan also realized that his real appeal for coming here might not go well.

But... always give it a try.

Pan said: "After I go back, I will report to the elders' house immediately. I have another matter this time... It is reported that Rage City is building a fleet and will soon launch an attack on the Leo Navy. "

"How is this possible!" Luke opened his eyes and said nonsense: "The Golden Shield Empire and the Leo Republic are friendly neighbors, and the two sides are important trading partners to each other, so how could we take the initiative to attack the Leo Navy?
What's more, the empire not only had to wipe out the rebels in the Tedgar Hills, but also had to face the invasion of the Art County United, so it really didn't have the energy to provoke another enemy.

Prince Pan, where did you get such absurd information? "

Pan didn't expect Meteor to deny it.

Look at the coast of Rio, it's almost taken over by pirates.The Rio Navy made several raids to encircle and suppress the pirates. Either they encountered an ambush on the Brilliant Island, or they were "accidentally injured" by the patrolling cape anti-smuggling fleet.

The generation difference of warships makes the No. [-]-class warship a floating war fortress on the sea, an invincible existence.

Now the Raging Waves City Navy and the main force of the Cape Anti-Smuggling Fleet are gathering together to practice large fleet operations every day. The types of exercises include sea encounters and shelling of coasts with complete defense systems.

The false target of the exercise is the Rio Navy.

Now everyone knows that the fleet of Raging Waves City is about to launch a sea attack on Leo, how dare you admit it as the Governor of Raging Waves City!
"Governor of Meteor...Even if you don't admit it, I know what you want to do. Taking advantage of Leo's puppet council being restrained by the Watchmen's Restoration Army, Rage City's navy defeated Leo's sea power in one fell swoop, and since then it has monopolized this sea area. Rio became a landlocked country.

When I succeed in restoring the country, Leo's ship must go to sea with your consent.

I warn you that you are seriously draining the trust we have built between us, and you are making yourself a formidable enemy. "

"Pan, are you talking about the future Leo Kingdom, or the current Shuojin civilization?" Luke leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, and said with a sneer, "If it's the Leo Kingdom, it's my job to weaken a potential opponent." Work; if it is the Shuojin civilization, you are just an elder candidate, and you have not yet sat in a position that can affect the decision-making of the Shuojin civilization.

What right do you have to threaten me? "

"Meteor!" Pan stood up angrily, but he quickly calmed down and sat down again: "I apologize for the offense I said. But I am the future king of Leo Kingdom, if my allies attack Li Oh, I cannot explain it to my subjects.

I can sign a secret treaty with you. After I take back the country, I will abolish part of the Leo Navy and strictly limit the size of the future Leo Navy.

I guarantee that the Kingdom of Leo will not pose any threat to the Golden Shield Empire. "

Luke said: "I hate unequal treaties, so I will not sign treaties that are unilaterally beneficial. This attack is only aimed at Leo's maritime forces. Even if the Marine Corps has a landing operation, it will be destroyed after the strategic purpose is completed. Retreat immediately.

Not a single inch of Rio will be occupied.

After that I will do everything possible to limit the size of Leo's navy.If you can successfully restore the country, you can also try your best to break free from the shackles I gave you.Of course... If you fail to restore the country, you are not qualified to fight with me. "

Luke made his attitude clear, that is, to disarm Leo's maritime force and potential.

Without the treaty, Leo would not be protected by the treaty, and Rage City could do whatever it wanted.

Pan felt that the anger in his chest was like a backlog of volcanoes, and he wanted to erupt but he couldn't vent it here.He has already put all his eggs in one basket for the restoration of the country, putting all his family fortune and loyal supporters on the watchdog restoration army.

Now the watchers have established a firm foothold in Leo, and there is an endless stream of people who hear the news and come to vote. It seems that the day to restore the kingdom is at hand.At this time, the support of Raging Wave City is absolutely indispensable, otherwise, if it fails, there will be no people from the Prince Kingdom in Leo.

But Meteor chose to attack Leo at this time.

Although the Leo Navy belongs to the Pseudo-Parliament, the Raging City Fleet is a foreign army after all, and it is an invasion of Leo!

"Is there really no room for negotiation? I can give money, or something."

Pan's attitude is very humble.

Luke was unmoved: "If the army of Raging Wave City wants to go northward along the coast, the Leo Navy is absolutely not allowed to exist.

This is related to the survival of the empire, and it is also related to the survival of Raging Waves City, so I have to let you feel wronged.

After this war is over, Rage City will increase its efforts to support the Watchers.Strategic-level weapons, including war fortresses, are allowed to be purchased by lookouts. "

Luke didn't overly stimulate Pan, and a slap still needs a sweet date.

In the past, in order to take care of the diplomatic relationship between the Leo Republic and the Empire, Raging City did not provide some heavy weapons to the Watchers.This time I fought the Rio Navy, so there is no need to care about the feelings of the Rio Republic.Weapons like the War Fortress can greatly enhance the offensive capabilities of the Watcher's National Restoration Army, and also make money for the Haijiao District Machinery Factory. Why not do it.

Through Luke's words, Pan figured out the strategy for the next stage of the Golden Shield Empire.If the Golden Shield Empire goes northward by sea, lands from the northern coast and threatens the Yate County Union from the flanks, it must suppress the Yate County Union's navy at sea.

At this time, the hidden danger of the Rio Navy must not be left behind.

It seems that whether it is for the short-term strategy or the long-term strategy, Raging Waves City must fight the Leo Navy.

Pan can only accept this fact.

Fortunately...Raging Waves City opened up more weapons to the Watchers, so there must be gains and losses.

Everything can be discussed after retaking the country. Only then can we be qualified to talk about grievances and enmities.

"If there is nothing else, I will go back." Pan tried his best to keep calm, he stood up and said: "There is one more thing to inform you... In view of the outbreak of war between the Golden Shield Empire and the Art County United, the World Bank has decided to temporarily suspend the cooperation with the two country cooperation program.

Previous cooperation projects will not be affected, but Rough City will not be able to obtain new loans and investments from the World Bank until the end of the war. "

The World Bank does not intervene in political disputes, and the war between the Golden Shield Empire and Art County United has no ambiguous space to operate. Therefore, Raging City lost the World Bank as an investment source, which was expected by Luke.

Fortunately, Luke, who predicted that the war would break out, borrowed all the money he could borrow from the World Bank before the war broke out, and signed all investment projects as quickly as possible.Therefore, the decision of the World Bank does not have a big impact on Raging City. Luke has a lot of money in his hands that can be used for urban development and army formation.

"During the war, it was enough for us to implement the previously negotiated cooperation and then make a profit. After the war is over, Raging City and the World Bank will have the next round of cooperation.

I wish you an early enthronement! "

Luke stood up and shook hands with Pan farewell, and then he felt that Pan's hand was very strong, as if he was about to break his own bones.

But this guy had a smile on his face.

Luke thought to himself, if I was held by you like this before, I would definitely be embarrassed, but now... your governor is not the former inspector.

Luke tightened his grip, for his lava golem blood gave him extraordinary strength.His hand was like fine steel, and the hand holding Pan squeezed inward.In the beginning, Pan was still able to keep his smile and he tried his best to deal with it, but gradually his smile changed, and the pain appeared on his face.

Pan realized that he had miscalculated the strength of Meteor... He didn't seem to be so strong before?

In order to show off his individual strength and make Meteor feel scruples in the future, Pan An secretly uses his power as a golden man.Golden light burst out from his hands, and the increased strength made him start to fight back.

Luke also exerted his strength again.

The red light of the flame emerged from between his fingers, and the dragon pattern on the back of his hand was even more radiant.

With the help of Taotie, Luke instantly had an overwhelming advantage over Pan in terms of strength.The sudden severe pain caused Pan Xia to withdraw his hand subconsciously, and then tried his best to restrain his expression and salute Luke: "Goodbye, Governor!"

Luke didn't make things difficult, he withdrew his strength and broke free.

"Goodbye, Director Pan."

Pan left the reception room, he raised his trembling right hand, with red palm prints on it, and heart-rending pain inside.

Sitting waiting on the bench in the corridor outside, Yin stepped forward and asked with concern when Pan came out: "What did you talk to Governor Meteor? Why are you so angry? I have never felt such anger from you!
what happened to your hand? "

"Nothing?" Pan put his hands in his pockets, secretly used healing magic to ease the damage to the bones, and then said to Yin: "It's all because of the World Tree. Governor Meteor's stubbornness will arouse the anger of the elders' house. For him and the Moonlight King Court brings disaster.

You stay here to talk to him, try to persuade him not to hold the Shuojin accountable for the war thousands of years ago, he should listen to you. "

"Okay... But Meteor is a very assertive person, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince him."

Pan said: "The House of Elders will definitely help the Moonlight Court, but it cannot be compensation. Too many creatures were affected by ancient wars thousands of years ago, and the House of Elders will never set a precedent for compensation for the Moonlight Court. the dignity of civilization.

Do your best to enlighten him.

I want to leave Raging Waves City and go to the headquarters to report the affairs here to the Elders' House. You are in charge of talking with Meteor about the cooperation between the World Bank and Raging Waves City. "

"I see, leave it to me here."

"Um……"

After Pan walked away, Yin knocked on the door of the reception room, then opened the door and walked in.

Luke was standing at the window looking out at the square in front of the government affairs hall building. Many civil servants took a lunch break to walk in the square, or buy a cup of coffee from a small vendor and taste it slowly.

Yin walked to Luke's side and looked at the scene on the square together.

The emotional training of Shuojin people makes Yin's temperament like an elegant orchid.She has a gentle temperament, considerate, and has no competitive heart.Intuition told her that Meteor needs to be quiet, so she stood silently by the side.

"Did Pan send you to find me?" Luke asked Yin after a while.

He didn't turn his head, his eyes were still looking at the square.

"Yes... Pan said that he had a big fight with you because of the World Tree, so let me persuade you. Although I support your point of view, the ancestors of the Shuojin people did commit crimes against the World Tree, but what Pan said It also makes sense...

The Shuojin people's elders' house is full of high-ranking old guys, and they will take the Moonlight Royal Court's accountability as an offense to the Shuojin civilization.

If no guilt is mentioned, they will compensate the Moonlight Royal Court. "

Luke asked, "Will you support me if I insist on holding the Glittergold accountable?"

Yin thought for a while: "Of course I will support you. But..."

Luke asked again: "If the Shuojin People's Elder's House takes their anger out on me, and even lists me as an enemy, will you still stand by my side?"

Yin thought for a while: "You are not wrong! What was wrong was the ancient war that shouldn't have happened. Of course I will stand by your side. Pan and I will argue with the elders' house. If we make a mistake, we must bear the responsibility. .”

Luke couldn't help but smiled, he turned his head to look at Yin.

"Just this sentence for you... In the future, if something happens to you, no matter what you are facing, I will protect you."

When Yin heard Luke make such a promise to himself, his face turned red.She avoids Luke's gaze, trying not to smile.

"Why do you say such things? You may be in trouble now, and I'm helping you. I'm a Shuojin man and I don't need your protection."

Only then did Luke realize that Yin had misunderstood his promise just now.

It's all for Pan's anger.

In order to deceive himself, he pushed Yin over.

Luke didn't know how to explain to Yin, he couldn't say that your own brother wanted to harm you.

There is no persuasion without evidence.

Luke had no choice but to say: "It's the Jin people, so no one dares to harm you? Angels, dragons, demons, and shadows are not afraid of you Jin people. The world will be very chaotic in the future, so you must protect yourself."

Luke's forceful explanation seemed to have the opposite effect, Yin's face turned redder, she lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, I will protect myself, and you should also protect yourself. You said before... When you can disclose your identity, you will tell me your real name as soon as possible.

Is now the time? "

At the moment Luke is a little dizzy.

"Right now my real identity is still a secret, and it needs to be kept secret for some reasons. Sorry, I can't tell you my real name for the time being.

When it can be made public, I promise to tell you as soon as possible. "

"Ok, I will wait for you!"
