Chapter 221 The Queen's Private Order

"Edmund, if you want, I can order the Hurricane Knights to directly enroll students in Conton without waiting for regularization. However, the number of students in Conton has been declining year after year, and I can't guarantee the effect of this."

Hearing this, von Riedermann frowned, but he didn't speak.

Edmund glanced at the queen, thought for two seconds and replied, "This will increase the training cost of the hurricane."

"I know, so I'm just proposing. But the overall cost of doing this is the lowest, you can think about it."

"Okay, thank you Your Majesty, I will consider it."

"Then, let's call it a day." The Queen got up and announced the end of the meeting.

The next day, the queen summoned the head of the Royal Knights and several captains to the palace in the name of holding a tea party.

"The result is as I expected." The Queen said while drinking tea, "They will only protect their own interests."

"Your Majesty, you should find a group of gamblers to enter the Senate. Because only gamblers don't count as a success rate." Louis said lazily, holding a teacup, "Those old guys don't do business, but they are better than any businessman." Shrewd. They want a return on every penny they spend, even if it's just a 1%. If something doesn't pay off, or even wipe out the principal, then they will never take that bet. "

"According to you, am I a gambler?" The queen smiled wryly.

"Of course you are. You can gamble the life of the entire Federation, and all of us, without caring about the outcome. So, you are a gambler, and the craziest gambler ever."

"You are right, this is a crazy gamble." The Queen put down her teacup and sighed, "The loser will be smashed to pieces."

"The problem is, we didn't initiate this gamble, it was those guys from the west." Louis pointed to the rear with his thumb, "All creatures on this continent will be forced to participate in this gamble, using their lives as chips. I admire What's more, you have seen this gamble a long time ago, and you are actively preparing chips, while those old men in the Senate...they naively thought that as long as they said no, they could refuse to participate."

"Henry, I don't have any chips in my hand yet." The queen shook her head.

"You will. In fact, you invited us to drink tea today, isn't it just to use us as chips?" Louis said as he put down his teacup.

"Will you be my bargaining chip?" the queen asked with a smile.

"I do it all the time. Glad you finally remembered to ask my wishes today." Louis shrugged.

"Okay. Next, I want Hurricane and the Royals to join forces." The Queen said seriously, "I don't expect the Senate anymore, so I can only use all my own property to fight for it."

"You should have done so."

"The only thing I can control is you. If it's not a last resort, I really don't want to bet all my money on it."

"I like gambling." Louis said indifferently, "The higher the ratio, the better. Your Majesty, let's gamble together!"

After speaking, Louis raised his teacup, made a gesture of toasting, and then drank it down in one gulp.

After the tea party, the royal knights rose to take their leave.

When Felton reached the door, the Queen stopped him, and he hurriedly turned and walked back.

"Felton, how is your father?" the queen asked gently.

"Thanks to you, it's always been fine," Felton replied politely.

"That's good. The tea he sent last time was delicious. Go back and thank him for me."

"If you like it, I'll bring some over next time."

"Then please." The queen smiled.

"Happy to serve you." Felton saluted, turned and left.

After reaching an agreement with the Royal Knights, the Queen summoned Edmund again.

"I'm glad Louis is willing to assist us, but it's a bit obvious to do so." Edmund said after hearing the queen's plan.

"Listen, Carl. We're running out of time. In fact, the knives have been drawn on both sides, and it's just a matter of who makes the first move. I don't want to be the first one, but if necessary , It is not impossible to preemptively strike."

"What is my mission?" Edmund didn't say any more.

"investigation."

"Which side?"

"Both sides. You focus on the West, Lewis and others focus on the 'East'."

"Honestly, I really want to switch." Edmund made a rare joke.

"Our biggest problem now is that we don't know anything about the enemy. If we don't know the opponent's ability and fight blindly, we will undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg. Therefore, we must know detailed information and make some sacrifices if necessary." The Queen gave He gave Edmund a meaningful look.

"I understand, I will arrange it." Edmund immediately understood what the queen meant.

The next day, Edmund took Chico to a theater, and they didn't come out until more than an hour after the ballet ended.

"Are you really going to do this?" Chico asked.

Edmund didn't answer, he stopped and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, he snuffed out the cigar in his hand on the railing, then threw it into the trash can, turned around and got on the carriage.

Chico looked at Edmund, then looked back at the theater. In the room on the third floor, a woman with long black curly hair was leaning against the window and watching them.

The woman was wearing a black suspender dress, revealing a white chest, holding an exquisite ladies cigarette in her hand, under the thick eyeshadow, a pair of black jewel-like eyes flashed slyly like a cat.

"Is this really okay?" Chico murmured looking up at the woman.

The woman caught Chico's gaze but didn't return his gaze, her eyes were fixed on Edmund in the carriage.

Three days later, Edmund left Sky City.

After that, the Hurricane Knights stayed in Lagrange, and worked with the Silver Knights to clean up the night demons and purify the land.

Because there are no new combat missions, everyone rarely enjoyed a while of leisure.

But this leisure only belongs to the team members. The five captains, Edmund, and Chico have never shown up, and they don't know what they are busy with.

Cang Ling asked Lyudmila, but Lyudmila didn't answer, but only told Cang Ling to do his daily work.

"Sifley, let's just let it go? Don't attack it?" Cang Ling asked.

"It's not the time yet," Lyudmila replied.

"It's so good, it's been good for a while, but now it's blocked again." Phoebe sitting in the back said angrily.

"Everyone is on duty with peace of mind, there will be new missions soon." Lyudmila hurried out after speaking.

"Time is really not enough." Cang Ling sighed and looked up at the sky, "Every time we took a small step forward with difficulty, when we looked up, we found that the opponent had already stepped over our heads. What is this game about?" When will it end?"

"Only when one of them is dead." Kali replied while wiping the knife.
