My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1240 1238. In this regard, Lord Pluto's decision is. - Monthly ticket plus [610]

Aunt Marian's earnest words undoubtedly angered Effie.

Murphy could tell Ms. Effie's character from the deadly hunt for the Witch Cult over the past period of time.

She couldn't be the kind of coward who would abandon her hometown in an emergency, but the problem was that Aunt Marianne's mature and prudent advice also pointed out the most fatal problem of the Helms people.

The former Traitor Island was simply a place where people resisted power and wanted to maintain their independence. However, after the establishment of the Plantagenet Kingdom thirty years ago, the Isa exiles who were unwilling to obey the new regime fled to Helms, and the two once hostile forces underwent a rather strange "ecological reaction".

Not only did they complete the merger, but they also combined the Helms people's simple goal of striving for independence with the restoration of the Kingdom of Isa.

This is truly a move that couldn't be worse.

Especially under the premise that King Louis's diligent efforts in the past thirty years have continuously improved the national strength of the Plantagenet Kingdom and promoted productivity reform, those exiles who still tried to restore the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Issa became absolute clowns, and the number of people who originally supported them in the society has decreased rapidly.

As Professor Chen, a foreign friend of Sister Marian who did not want to reveal his name, summed up the matter:
This is just the historical cycle of kingdom changes!
And when King Louis had proved with thirty years of achievements that the Plantagenet Kingdom he had established was better than the former Kingdom of Issa in every aspect, it was only natural that those extreme forces eager to restore their country were abandoned.

It is under this premise of decline and gain that the Helms people made this extreme move. I think they have also realized that if they continue to use the current system, failure is only a matter of time.

Therefore, this matter is actually the most standard "gamble on the country's destiny".

However, such an important operation was carried out by the Helms fleet alone. What's worse is that it failed. This in itself represents a series of major flaws of the Helms people at the political and systemic levels that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, when Ms. Effie was cursing Aunt Marian as a traitor in all kinds of "Holmes dialect", Murphy had actually made his own decision in his heart.

He did promise to cooperate with the Helms in the fight against King Louis, but at that time Murphy's understanding of the Helms was not as deep as it is now. For a leader, making a promise does not mean executing it. This is the basic rule of politics.

"You promised us!"

Mrs. Effie's scolding did not elicit a direct response from Sister Marianne. She was busy with her trip to Glamour Island. How could she have the mood to discuss these things that could not be explained in a few words with an overly impulsive junior?

Therefore, when Ms. Effie's violent output reached the third minute, Aunt Marian became annoyed and simply turned off the communication, which made Ms. Effie very angry and turned to look at Murphy.

She said loudly:

"During the war on the Genoese Peninsula, you promised me that you would help the Helmsmen gain independence!"

"My original words at that time were that we could cooperate in the fight against King Louis. Ms. Effie, please don't misinterpret my meaning."

Murphy shook his head and said:
“I personally have a great deal of liking for the absolutely elite force of the Helms Rangers. However, after carefully understanding the current situation of Helms Island, I found that your problem is more complicated than I thought.

Especially since this matter involves the restorationists of the Kingdom of Isa.

You see, I have nothing in common with them and I don't want to have any. Even I, the governor of a remote area, know about the horrific things these guys have done in the past thirty years. Therefore, as the chosen one by the Creator, I cannot stand on the side of those ambitious people who try to go against the laws of history.

As far as the present situation is concerned, I agree with Sister Marianne's assessment.

I feel that the simple and honest Helms people have been kidnapped by those bad guys.

They tied you to their chariot, and tainted the Helms people's vision of maintaining independence with too many filthy desires. In other words, your goal of independence was no longer justified when you joined forces with the remnants of the Isha Kingdom.

I cannot participate in something that is neither bright nor just nor has any chance of victory.”

"But you promised!"

Ms. Effie was a little desperate. She said:

"Without the support of the Transians, Hermes Island would not have been able to hold out for long under the pressure of the Plantagenet Kingdom's army, which was carrying out a full-scale war. The Elders were completely unprepared for this sudden war, and the occurrence of this incident even exceeded the black witches' predictions for the future.

I admit that we were taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

But that's no reason to kill all the Helmsmen now."

"Then let us hear what the Transian Archon will say."

Murphy said:
"I am only the spiritual leader of Transia. Political decisions have always been made by Miriam and her officials. They represent the will of the Transians."

He made a gesture, and Adele immediately placed the computing orb that could contact Miriam on the table. As the orb communication was activated, the Scarlet Archon's tired face appeared in front of the two.

It can be seen that Miriam, who had just returned from the Songhai Empire, could not even get a good night's sleep because of the Helms people's outrageous actions. In the background behind her, Transian decision-making officials were compiling the minutes after the meeting.

Obviously, they had just completed a discussion and decision.

Miriam didn't need Murphy to explain the current situation to her. After seeing that Ms. Effie's communication was also online, the Scarlet Archon understood and said in a serious tone:
“The Scarlet Keep has made its final decision, Your Excellency the Governor.

We will not participate in the war between the Helms and the Plantagenets, even though this can help us effectively consume the war power of the Plantagenet Kingdom. However, after comprehensive consideration, we still made this decision.

Ms. Effie, Ranger Helms is a friend of the Transians.

We will be happy to provide you with refuge if things get bad, but other than that we will not get involved in this war."

"Why? This is obviously in your favor!"

Effie wanted to fight for it again. She said:

"As long as Helms Island survives, King Louis' army will be pinned down here. You can take this opportunity to launch a war to retake the border! And the war you launch will in turn help relieve the pressure on the Helms people.

Even in the most optimistic scenario, the merger of the two sides could directly shake King Louis' rule!
Isn't this bad?

We can both benefit from this.”

"Indeed, the many strategic advantages made General Maxim support the armed intervention plan during the discussion just now. However, the timely reminder from Professor Malcolm, the ambassador to the Jackal Kingdom, made us realize the extreme consequences of supporting the Helms at this time."

Miriam explained patiently:
"Transia is also facing similar hidden dangers as the Plantagenets and the Helms. If we choose to support you rebels at this time, then when similar local separatism appears in East Prussia and Saxony in the future, what reason should we use to suppress them?

You see, when it comes to maintaining territorial integrity, we, not any sensible national power on this continent, have common interests with King Louis.

We cannot side with the dividers.

More importantly, the attitude of the foreigners
Transia's most important foreign ally currently has similar problems. If we choose to support you, it would be tantamount to provoking them on the bottom line. I don't want to see the foreign heroes rushing into the Scarlet Castle with weapons in anger and hanging me and Governor Murphy on the gallows.

The political attitude of foreigners in this regard is worth learning from.

Transamerica will not actively interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, so the issue between the Helmsmen and the Plantagenets can only be resolved through coordination between the two sides. "

"You are crazy! Have you forgotten that it was King Louis's army that occupied your Saxe, East Prussia and Cato regions in the past ten years!"

Effie felt a little unbelievable. She said:
"Just for such a name, you actually chose to stand with the invaders who brought you suffering?"

"Of course, this title is important, sir."

Miriam's tone became more serious, and she said:

“Only with the reputation of justice in hand, when Transian soldiers go out to retake their homeland, our soldiers and our people will not have to bear the moral pressure!
It is precisely because we support King Louis' firm stance on unifying the country that when a border conflict breaks out between the two countries in the future, he will realize how stupid the mistakes he and his country have made in the past ten years were!
What the Transians have lost will be taken back by our bravest soldiers with their own hands. The humiliations of the past will not force us to go to extremes, but will only make us more brave and determined when we decide to launch a just war.

I have asked the Transian Ambassador to convey the same reply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Plantagenet Kingdom.

We don't covet a single blade of grass or a single tree in the Plantagenet Kingdom, but King Louis had better honestly return the things that belong to us Transians!
That’s not just a statement, that’s a proclamation!
Our legitimate demands can be resolved through peaceful means, or we can resort to war. The 70,000 soldiers of the People's Army are ready to fight at any time. However, when both sides of the territory are facing the threat of war, we really do not have the extra strength to support you. "

Miriam's answer completely revealed Ms. Effie's despair. She realized that Terancia really would not intervene in this conflict, so she cut off the communication in an angry manner, leaving Murphy helpless.

"Master, this outstanding hunter does not seem to understand the subtext of you and Archon Miriam, even though you two have hinted so clearly."

Adele next to him said helplessly:

"It seems that the rumors that the Helms are irritable and not good at thinking are true. She didn't realize that you have been talking to her as the 'Governor of the Transians'. In fact, you have multiple complex identities, and you can naturally make different decisions under different identity positions."

"She'll know. Effie is a good girl, but when she gets too angry her brain gets tangled."

Murphy shrugged and said:

“She and most of the Helms people were simply deceived by the Isha Kingdom’s restorers. They did not realize that the demands of both parties were only consistent on the surface, but in fact they were poles apart.

But I believe that if the black witch of Astor City can really foresee fate as the legend says, then their elders will make the correct response in time before the problem gets out of control, and as the King of Hell, I will also be happy to see it happen.

How long will it take us to reach the Great Reef Province?

I must immediately complete my discussions with Governor Hood regarding the 'Sea Abyss Celebration' and then go to Gramay Island in person.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

That place is very important for the expansion of the underworld. If everything goes well, the problems of the Helms people may be properly solved.

And Miriam."

Murphy turned his head to look at the computing orb that was still operating in front of him, and said to the Scarlet Archon:

“The priests of the Church of the Dead Moon brought by His Highness Khufu will assist Xike City in completing the construction of the Gate to the Underworld. You must urge Count Xikemaier and his wife to accept the call of the Underworld as soon as possible. The central part of the continent represented by Transia must also have its own Underworld.

This is very important for the fulfillment of the Creator's blueprint and for Transia's national defense and security."

"I am personally in charge of this matter, Governor, and I will have news back soon."

Miriam responded:

"But I was not trying to evade Ms. Effie just now. Recently, our 'friends' in the east have been very restless. Marshal Heraclius in the Kavhoka region has been provoking us more and more frequently. He may feel that his army has been integrated and we are busy with territory construction and have slowed down the recruitment of troops, which makes him feel that he has a great advantage."

"Ok?"

Murphy raised his eyebrows and said:
"But didn't Boss Huo and Brother Crow come up with a business plan to cut off the source of income?"

"That's the problem."

Miriam sighed and said:

"They revised their plan and decided to try something bigger, something that would shake the foundation of Nordtov's rule. I had no reason to stop them, because part of the Transian Treasury's reserves were also used in that plan. More importantly, Marshal Heraclius seemed to have invested part of the soldiers' allowances in it. The huge profits he had made in recent times gave him the confidence to start a war.

What a dark humor.

The most terrifying thing is that last night, a group of dwarf followers of the God of Wealth from the Brass Ruins suddenly visited us and brought us a terrifying amount of gold in the name of the God of Wealth. Do you know what this means? Murphy. "

"Ms. Dutna decided to take action herself?"

Murphy said:
"So, the God of Wealth also feels the joy of financial games?"

“Ms. Dutna wants to publicize her own majesty and establish her authority. She wants the whole world to see the power of wealth. What terrifies me even more is that the Goddess of Wealth wants to establish her own church in Transyahu. The first suggestion that Brother Crow and Boss Huo submitted to the Goddess of Wealth was to issue a currency in the name of God that can be circulated throughout the world and to establish the Goddess of Wealth’s central bank.

Can you guess where he's going to put the mint?"

Miriam rubbed her eyebrows and said:
"The one-hour conversation with Crow last night kept me awake all night. The benefits that the seigniorage would bring to Transia alone made my brain wail, not to mention the proposal to shape the world economic system with Transia as the center and then reap the benefits crazily.

I can't understand what that guy is going to do, Murphy.

If you can, can you 'kick' the crow down?

His every step frightened me. I felt that the threat posed by all the gnolls in the Black Plague combined was not as great as his. "

"Are you kidding me? How can I arbitrarily deprive him of the right to log into the game when he has not made any mistakes?"

Murphy shook his head and said:
"Everything that Crow does is in accordance with the Player's Manual, isn't it? Oh, what a genius at finding loopholes."
-
"Damned Forsworn!"

In a village on the border of the Kingdom of Castile, Ms. Effie was so angry that her brain was about to bleed.

She was angry that Murphy was not going to follow through on his previous promise of assistance, and she was also terrified that under the current circumstances, the Helms would have to fight the wrath of King Louis alone.

Of course, as a good hunter, Effie also looked down on her side's attempt to kidnap Princess Bridget to threaten King Louis. She could not imagine how stupid a person would pin their hopes of restoring the country on such a thing.

If King Louis' political IQ was higher than his feet, he would never give in because of such a thing. Otherwise, his family would face endless harassment and entanglement in the future.

However, things have come to this point, and no matter how reluctant Effie is, she must immediately lead the Helms Rangers back home to prepare for the battle. No matter who is right or wrong, she must ensure that no terrible massacre will occur on Helms Island in the war.

But just as she walked out of the room, she saw several familiar voices descending from the sky on skeleton Pegasus.

The leader was none other than his golden-level ancestor.

Effie was stunned for a moment.

She felt a flash of lightning passing through her mind, allowing her to vaguely understand Mr. Murphy's true meaning.

"We come in the name of Hades and we want to follow you back to Hermes Island!"

The golden undead said in a hoarse voice:
"The King of Hell must ensure that no disasters that threaten the sacred cycle of life and death occur on this continent. The dead on Hermes Island must also obey this supreme will from the will of Hades!"

"this!"

Effie was so excited that she almost jumped up. She praised Mr. Murphy's kindness in her heart and asked:

"So, Grandfather, will you also participate in the war to defend Hermes Island? But didn't those two say..."

"No, we will only protect the Helms people, and His Majesty Pluto and the Scarlet Archon will never support the current foolish and incompetent elders, just as an old lion cannot lead a lion group. However, this does not mean that Master Murphy's promise to you will be betrayed."

The golden undead said coldly:
"The politics of the living world have nothing to do with us dead people, but you, Little Effie, as a reserve member of the Elders Council, must recognize and fulfill your correct 'duty' at this time. If the cycle of life and death is threatened due to the mistakes of the living, then don't blame the dead for raising a raging rage to teach you a lesson."

Her ancestor had made it so clear that even though Effie was not good at thinking, she understood it.

Her breathing paused for a moment.

The good news is that she really has the potential to win an army large enough for the Helms to defend their country.

The bad news is that this army will only be activated when she becomes the leader of the Helms. Ah, not only are all the cunning descriptions of the vampire governor on the continent true, but those damn rumors are not even half as cunning as Murphy in reality!
This is a trap.

The problem is that the prey walking into the trap knows there are risks, but still has to jump in.

Oh my god.
