Otherworld Qin

Chapter 442 Temptation 467

Seeing the memory crystal that Shengxuan took out, a strange gleam appeared on Julio's face, obviously he had recognized that it was really a soul spar, but in the blink of an eye he smiled wryly again, "I didn't expect you, brother, really Some of them have soul crystals, but unfortunately I don't know the great mage of the spiritual department."

Just as Julio finished speaking, Gleason, who had never said a word, said coldly, "If you want to retrieve the memory of the necromancer, you can do it!"

As soon as these words came out, Julio's expression changed immediately, and the pupils of his eyes shrank. After looking straight at Gleason, he couldn't help laughing, "I don't even have a chance to meet the Necromancer. Does this friend Is it possible to choose someone you know?"

Although he concealed it very quickly, Sheng Xuan still saw a clue. I'm afraid there is some secret hidden behind this Grand Duke Julio, but who can not have a little secret?As long as it doesn't affect the cooperation with each other, he doesn't bother to care about him.

Next, Shengxuan and the two began to carefully study the current situation of Omar and how to mobilize the few troops in their hands. It is inevitable that there will be some bargaining. Gleason got up and said, "There is some anger in the room." Bored, I want to go out for a walk, please ask the Grand Duke to find someone to guide me."

Julio looked at him meaningfully again, secretly guessing in his heart that this person's cultivation base was terrifying, and he was not easy to offend, so he was stingy when he sent someone to lead the way, and then he said with a smile, "You are brother Shengxuan's friend, When you arrive here, you are at your own home, you can play around in the mansion, but my mansion is a bit rough, I'm afraid it will delay the elegance of this friend."

"No, how can there be nothing worth admiring in the Grand Duke's huge mansion?" After finishing speaking, he walked out of the hall, but every sound of footsteps falling on the Grand Duke's ears was like a clanging drum, making his voice tremble. His eyes narrowed deeper.

After Gleason walked out of the hall for a long time, Julio finally looked away and said with a slight smile, "Your friend is very interesting, with a straightforward personality like the cedar of Calais."

Sheng Xuan couldn't help but secretly startled. Although Gleason changed his attire, and his accent was very standard Oma, and even had a taste of a royal capital, this shrewd Grand Duke still guessed his identity. identity.

But even if he knows, it doesn’t matter, Chengxuan couldn’t help but smile slightly, “He’s a sweetheart, don’t be offended, Grand Duke!” Julio laughed, “I appreciate his character very much, so why would he be offended? Well, let’s still Let’s get down to business.”

The two then found a map, and began to choose a route while analyzing the current situation. This would eventually be an extremely difficult battle. When Julio marked the distribution of the seven duchies and the general strength of their troops, Sheng Xuan's expression changed. It's getting darker.

Never think that the enemy will give you time to accumulate strength, and what they are most worried about now is the lack of time. Although it seems that Shengxuan is already a party, but to gather the scattered power in the Great Swamp, I am afraid that at least It would take ten days, but it would take less than half a month to reach the Principality of Julio.

It is a month before and after, how much change should there be in this month?The flame of hope that Julio had just ignited dimmed again, and he habitually picked up the wine bottle and wanted to take a few sips to express the anger in his chest, but at this moment he suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't help showing a smile on his face. Mysterious smile.

As for what it was, he didn't say anything, and Sheng Xuan didn't notice the change in his expression, let alone guess what was going on in his mind. He was still studying the map carefully, trying to find a reasonable route.

However, surrounded by the seven duchies, the capital is almost out of reach. It is unrealistic to attack by force. It is almost a war with the whole of Omar, and you have to win to enter the capital of King Qin. How huge the consumption is, it is impossible to achieve what you want in terms of time alone.

"Hey, this is a fucking dead end, no matter how I look at it, I have no chance of winning!" Sheng Xuan slumped down on the chair, then looked up at Julio, "How long do you think the capital can last? "

"At least three months!" Julio said confidently, but Sheng Xuan was puzzled, "How is this possible? The Calais army is approaching the city, and Gatialo has united the seven duchies , so many people can’t win a small capital in three months?”

"You underestimate the background of the royal family too much, or you are too unfamiliar with Omar." As soon as these words were spoken, a decadent and self-abandoned Grand Duke disappeared, but a shrewd and wise Julio returned, and then he will be a wonderful one. Sheng Xuan couldn't stop nodding when he heard the analysis.

"According to what you said, the royal capital has a natural geographical advantage. Even Calais' elite can resist for three months? Although Gatiaro united the seven duchies, he opposed the war on the grounds that he did not Don't you dare openly send troops to approach the royal capital?" Sheng Xuan put his hand on his chin and thought, "In this way, he must have secretly reached an agreement with Calais, and he wants to use Calais' knife to kill the royal family. It's a pity that he I don't know that this knife is always in the hands of the people of Calais, who can guarantee that the royal family will stop after killing the royal family?"

"And Gatialo overestimated his prestige too much. He thought that he could summon the seven principalities to overthrow the royal family with a single call, and then he could usurp the throne. He thought too simply. How can we be in the same heart with him? Otherwise, the army has not acted until now, so it can be seen that most of them are just holding a wait-and-see attitude and want to gain some benefits from this coup."

"Yes, there have never been eternal friends, only eternal interests. These duchies are not fools. Who would help an outsider to take the risk of treason? I just don't know the key to their interests, otherwise this matter will be more serious Simpler." Sheng Xuan thought about it.

"This sentence is good. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. I guess, what is promised to Calais must be the mines outside the mercenary city, and the gains of the principalities are to divide the territory. If Gatialo If it succeeds, I’m afraid that in the future, Omar will not be thirteen duchies, but only seven will remain, who can’t be tempted by such a temptation?”

"Aren't you tempted?" Shengxuan said afterward, but Julio's expression suddenly changed, "Hey, so what if I'm tempted? My family and Gatiaro,,,," said Here he stopped suddenly, knowing that he had almost revealed a deeply hidden secret of the family unintentionally.

"My family has always been loyal to the royal family, so why would we come together with Gatialo? Besides, it's such an evil thing to seduce foreign enemies and harm the people of our country!" Julio changed his words in time, but he also knew the reason for such far-fetched Xuan Ding did not believe it, but it was not a serious problem, after all, the other party was not from Omar.

Shengxuan secretly laughed in his heart, this Grand Duke Julio is really worthy of the name of little fox, his mind is turning very fast, who doesn't know that his family has always been hovering between the royal family and the temple, wanting to not offend both, but not both Trust me, otherwise he wouldn't be in the current predicament.

"In this way, we should have enough time. It's just that our tens of 10 troops will be exhausted before reaching the capital. How can we lead troops to serve the king?" Sheng Xuan continued the previous topic and raised the question in his heart. question.

"We don't have to go to the capital at all, as long as we put on a posture and raise the banner of King Qin, and if necessary, give the Charlotte and Harris coalition forces a painful blow, and we can give those hesitant principalities a warning, as long as the fight is enough to hurt the two The principality is bound to ask for help, and then it is time to really distinguish the camp, but it is my little Julio principality that is dealing with it. This will inevitably cause their division and disintegrate their alliance from the inside, which will also play a role. The role of King Qin." This is not just a battle, but a contest behind the scenes.

Shengxuan never knew much about this kind of things involving political conspiracy, but he knew that he might not get any benefits from this alone, but Julio made a lot of money, not only weakening the power with his own hands. The two powerful enemies who have been looking around all the time have also expressed their loyalty to the royal family. As the saying goes, icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. How important is loyalty to the royal family at this time?
The ones who sacrificed were their own soldiers, but the benefits were obtained by others. Cheng Xuan was unwilling to intervene in such a matter, "If it's just like this, I'm afraid it's okay if I don't send troops. Although the two duchies have millions of troops, how could it be you?" opponent? You still have at least 60 troops in your hands, and your equipment is far superior to your opponent's."

Regarding the strength of the Principality of Julio, Shengxuan still knows well. After all, this large amount of weapons and equipment have passed through his hands, and it is impossible for Julio to let these equipment forged under the guidance of the dwarves go to the front line of the empire. What's more, the equipment he exchanged for is even less likely to be rusted in the warehouse, so after careful measurement, he can know the approximate strength of his troops.

"Brother, you can't withdraw the ladder at this time and let it go. Didn't we agree? You sent troops to help me in the name of the mercenary group. Why have you changed your mind now? Although I still have an elite army of more than [-], But most of them are stationed at the front line of the Dark Canyon, you can't let me completely give up the defense of Gonzas City, and instead deal with the two treasonous duchies." Julio was also surprised by Shengxuan's sudden change, but With his mind, how could he not know what the other party was thinking, so he knew it was time to cast the bait, and immediately said, "Do you know that there is another old opponent of yours beside Gatiaro? Gomos!"

Hearing this name, Sheng Xuan was startled. Although many people knew about the hatred between him and Gomos, it was not enough to attract the attention of a Grand Duke, unless he was paying special attention for other purposes, " Are you secretly investigating me?" "Don't be nervous, brother, how can this be considered an investigation? It should be said that I really care about you. The reason why I said this name is to remind you that there is still darkness involved in this matter." One of the elves, and Gomos is the head of an SS mercenary group, and he secretly controls several elite small mercenary groups. His strength should not be underestimated. Mine, it is said that the country is already rich, but why did it get involved in this matter? What do you think his purpose will be?"

Shengxuan couldn't help shrinking his pupils, putting aside his personal hatred with Gomos, the mithril mine alone is enough to make the other party try everything, if he is really allowed to collude with Gatiaro, once the latter succeeds in usurping the throne He is a great hero, and when the time comes to use the latter's power to lead an army to forcibly attack, the Mithril Mine may change hands, and his friends will suffer heavy casualties. This is the last thing he wants to see.

"Tell me, what benefits will I get from helping you!" Sheng Xuan didn't want to make any more detours, so he directly proposed, "In addition to the mage's food and grass, I, as the Grand Duke of the Principality, will personally give you a big gift, what do you think of Mercenary City? ?” I have to admire Julio’s shrewdness. A mercenary city seems very tempting, but if it really loses, there is nothing. However, even if there is no mercenary city, Shengxuan must not look at Gatia If Luo usurps the throne, not only is it not beneficial, but it is a huge threat. Maybe he will have to face the two huge empires of Calais and Omar, which he absolutely cannot allow.

"Mercenary City?" "That's right, the fat in the eyes of others is actually a cancer in my opinion. Those mercenary regiments are all backed by forces behind them. They are rebellious and unruly on weekdays, causing trouble. It took a lot of manpower and financial resources to manage it, and the tax money collected was not enough for his own expenses, so I wanted to cut him out a long time ago, but I am really unwilling to let it fall into the hands of others. You will not refuse to push it to you at this time Accept it bravely, when you really sit on the position of master of the mercenary city, we are still brothers, I don’t want any tax money there, I only hope that you can give me a reasonable price for the mines produced.”

"Hahahaha!" Sheng Xuan thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "The Grand Duke really has a good plan, doesn't this mean that I cut off the cancer for you, and also helped you control the mines?" Let's put it this way, the reason why I said the pros and cons without concealment is that I am afraid that you will be overwhelmed, but I still say it because I know that the location of the Mercenary City is important to you, and I am afraid that you will have more benefits than me Be clear, how can you say that I have a good plan?"

"If there are not too many things involved and it is inconvenient for me to make a move, I really don't want to watch you swallow this piece of fat. Maybe this is fate. The Mercenary City should be yours!" Julio obviously He is very confident in the bait thrown, he knows that once the bait is thrown, it will be difficult for Sheng Xuan to refuse, and the benefits he gets from it are huge, no one can refuse such a win-win situation.
