Happy people from Blue Star

More and more players have realized that the upcoming new version may be very wrong.

Some people are more sensitive in foreseeing the situation, while others are slower.

But no matter what, the flow of information between players is actually very fast.

In less than ten days, almost all players had realized that the 'new version' might be a large-scale battlefield, so they began to stockpile resources.

Players began to purchase food, dry food, daily necessities, etc., all the supplies that humans need.

All of a sudden, prices all over the world were raised.

After all, it has been three years since the game was launched, and most of the players have made a lot of money in the game.

Of course...this worldwide price surge has little impact on Hardy's territory.

Because Tiana had already prepared for this and carried out strict market control.

France was not greatly affected. Hardy had conveyed his judgment to the lords with whom he had a good relationship a few days ago.

As for the French royal family, with Nicai and Alice by Queen Sissi's side, the spread of information will naturally be faster and more convenient.

So Francie's problem isn't that big.

It is very troublesome for other countries. After players purchase a large amount of resources, the first thing they do is to put them in the system backpack, and then find a hidden place to store them.

It's almost impossible to 'get' it back.

As for the use of force, it is even more impossible.

Due to system restrictions, players cannot actively attack NPCs, otherwise they will be marked as "red".

But if the NPC attacks the player for no reason, they will be very happy.

Because it means that you can break free from your shackles and do something great.

As other countries were in chaos, Hardy welcomed an unexpected guest.

Queen Ye Jieka.

Hardy didn't want to see this woman at first, but he really had nothing to do recently and was just waiting for the "collision" of the two worlds. It was a bit boring, so he let her in.

He wanted to see what shocking words this queen, who had stabbed him in the back, would say!

A woman in a gray hooded robe walked in. As the door behind her closed, she lifted the cloth on her head, revealing her true face.

It's still a beautiful face, even younger than before.

Because she had also eaten the petals given by the World Tree, her age was just that of a young woman.

But as the year went by, her temperament became even more charming.

"Long time no see, Mr. Hardy. I didn't expect you to look the same as before, without any change."

Hardy is now a legendary professional. His life span has reached over 200 years, and his adolescence will be very long.

I guess his appearance won’t change much in another twenty years.

After Hadi gestured for her to sit down, he said, "Your Majesty the Queen is still as radiant as ever. I wonder what you would like to ask for advice this time?"

Ye Jieka sat on the chair opposite Hardy, and the two looked at each other across the long dining table.

She thought for a while, then pursed her lips and said, "I came here in person this time to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Hardy looked at the other party.

"If you send me some food, we can form an alliance and my army can become your mercenaries and fight for you." Hearing this, Hardy smiled.

It turns out that Ye Jie Ka has reached the end of her rope.

This woman is very proud. To her, men are just embellishments to show off her status and strength.

Moreover, she has a strong sense of self-esteem and will not allow herself to be stepped on by a man.

So the fact that she appears in front of Hardy now and is willing to turn her army into mercenaries shows that she is really almost desperate.

It seems that her brother, Prince Vasily, put a lot of pressure on her.

It is estimated that the sudden purchase and hoarding of goods by the players also caused great damage to the economy of her territory.

Seeing Hadi's smile, Ye Jieka was very angry inside, but she didn't show it.

Hardy only laughed for two seconds, then stopped and said, "Sorry, I can't promise you this."

"Why, this is a win-win deal." Ye Jieka looked at Hadi with a frown: "You get the army, and I can relieve some of the pressure."

Hadi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am not that stupid. I do not want to support your army. You should understand what I mean."

"Sir Hadi, you should reconsider it." Ye Jieka stood up and put on his hood again: "I will stay here for two days. I hope to hear good news from you."

After that, she left.

He left very cleanly.

When the door closed again, Sophie walked out from the shadows beside it.

She said indignantly: "She is almost out of ammunition and food, but she is still so... proud. Is she mentally ill?!"

"People who are used to being strong are like this." Hadi looked at Sophie: "You should be responsible for the information about Ye Jieka. How is she doing now?"

Because Ye Jieka has been fighting for territory with her younger brother Vasily, the internal friction between the two will cause both sides to become weaker and weaker.

This matter was secretly promoted by Hardy Louisian County. Hardy did not want to see a warlike and crazy force growing bigger and bigger next to his territory.

"Now her territory only has three cities left, and there is no strategic depth." Sophie laughed: "In comparison, Prince Vasily's strength has increased a lot, and he can now suppress his sister and beat her up."

"That is to say, Ye Jieka is actually here to admit defeat to us!" Hadi nodded. "With her intelligence, she should be able to guess that we are secretly helping Prince Vasily. But this person is clearly here to admit defeat, but why do I feel that she is even more arrogant than me? Personality is really hard to describe."

Sophie also laughed: "Will you see her again later?"

"No, next time she comes to see me, just say she doesn't have time."

“Then how about…” Sophie made a throat-slitting gesture.

Hadi shook his head. "That's not necessary. I have worked so hard to build up my credibility. If you do this, all my efforts of two to three years will be wasted. Ye Jieka obviously doesn't get along with me, but she still dares to come to negotiate with me in person. She simply believes in my credibility. This is a rare political asset that cannot be easily lost."

Sophie thought for a while and said, "That makes sense. Let's just ignore her."

In the next two days, Ye Jieka was very angry because she didn't receive a summons from Hadi.

But thinking of the outrageous prices in her territory and the almost empty granary, she could only swallow her anger and wanted to meet with Hardy again and again.

But all were rejected.

After staying there for nearly seven days, she finally couldn't wait any longer and rode back on her horse with two trusted men.

As he rode, he cursed Hardy.

But she never expected that she had been targeted by a team of five players. (End of this chapter)
