Chapter 838 Secret meeting ([-])

The weasel of the Duke of Hemmings swept his eyes and smiled, "The Duke of Humington's strategy is quite good, but if everyone here underestimates the Duke of Stoke, I can guarantee that you will suffer a big loss!"

Duke Terry's face darkened, looking at Duke Hemmings, his tone was obviously a little unhappy, "Stoke is now clinging to his own piece of the goddess's heart, which is as small as a bullet, and he has nothing to do. He is now like a turtle The mad dog in a hurry, was so eager to stand out from the surrounding situation that was not conducive to him, so he couldn't wait to participate in this competition, trying to return to the glory of his sword that shocked the entire Eagle Empire. Don’t you know that the world has changed now, and it’s no longer his turn to fight for supremacy with his crappy swordsmanship!”

The Duke of Hemmings gave Duke Terry a disdainful look, "In fact, if the Duke of Stoke wants to use the swordsmanship competition to recover the negative impact caused by the bankruptcy of the economic empire, it is absolutely possible, and his swordsmanship, too. It is true that the nobles of the Eagle Empire are number one. In fact, with the progress of the times, the nobles of the Eagle Empire no longer pay attention to the practice of swordsmanship. , if there was not a four-yearly swordsmanship competition, it is very likely that the current nobles of the Eagle Empire would have forgotten their swords long ago.

"The Duke of Hammings originally had a typical businessman's cunning appearance, but when he talked about this incident, he suddenly expressed emotion, "Since the Duke of Bamar won the championship with a single sword 16 years ago, it has been 16 years , the level of each swordsmanship competition is constantly decreasing. The ranking of the nine nobles 16 years ago has never been shaken. The ranking of the nobles is not as good as the last. Swordsmanship is not like science and technology. It will always develop with the progress of civilization. In fact, with the progress of the times, these things are gradually fading out of the historical stage, so 16 years ago The swordsmanship competition of the Eagle Empire represents the highest level of swordsmanship in the Eagle Empire, and since the Duke of Stoke is the number one swordsmanship, wouldn't it be easy for him to win the next swordsmanship competition? It's ridiculous that you think he just doesn't I have seen his swordsmanship on the Goddess Heart, even if it is Newton, I have to avoid it for the time being. It is conceivable how his swordsmanship will reach the pinnacle. No one can be his opponent!And you guys don't want to attack him by means of assassination. You must know that assassinating a duke is not a joke. When the Military Intelligence Department investigates, I'm afraid no one will be spared! "

Every sentence of the Duke of Hammings is loud and reasonable, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The seven dukes on the scene are all people who dominate one side. There are many capable men under their command, but they want to find someone To ensure that the Duke of Stoke can be completely defeated in the swordsmanship competition, this is basically impossible to find. Even if you invite a master in martial arts, a master in martial arts does not mean that you are also a master in swordsmanship , You must know that a good swordsman does not lie in how powerful his skills are or how outstanding his abilities are, but his feeling of being integrated with the sword is what makes him truly powerful. Every sword , the weight of the sword body, length, pros and cons, quality and other small differences determine its uniqueness, and only its owner can understand its performance, pros and cons from getting along gradually. Swordsman, what he learns is not the method of using the sword, but the method of integrating the sword with himself. Only when the sword is one, can the swordsmanship be brought into full play.

A master like Newton may be able to draw with the Duke of Stoke with bare hands, but if he uses a sword instead, it will only become a burden and obstacle for him, and he will be killed by the Duke of Stoke instead, so I think It is almost impossible to defeat the Duke of Stoke from swordsmanship.

However, for the seven dukes at the scene, this is absolutely necessary. Almost half of their underground trade is smuggled arms or drugs, and the Royal Manchester area of ​​the Eagle Empire, in layman's terms , is the largest outlet for the Eagle Empire’s trade, and the Duke of Stoke has the administrative power in the Manchester area, so it limits the development of the underground interests of the seven dukes. The reason for the Duke of Stoke, among them, the Duke of Benjamin and the Duke of Barhammer, was the best friend of the Duke of Stoke back then, and was called the Duke of the "Iron Triangle" by the Eagle Empire, but 16 years is enough to change a People's beliefs, not to mention friendship, when there is a relationship of interest between people, those emotions become no longer important.

This is also the reason why Duke Benjamin joined the fight against the Duke of Stoke at the same time. His underground military factory will bring billions of benefits every year, but because of the strict import and export customs in the Manchester area, his benefits have been reduced to one-tenth. , in order to open Manchester’s passage to the international black market, he had to be an enemy of the Duke of Stoke. As long as the Duke of Stoke is overthrown, the Duke of Humington will have a way to obtain administrative rights in Manchester. At that time, it is equivalent to establishing the A set of international underground shipping channels will bring a mountain of gold and silver that can never be dug out.

"Duke Hemmings is right!" The Duke of Humington nodded to Hemmings, "That fellow Stoke has superb swordsmanship and is indeed difficult to deal with, but it does not mean that there is no way to deal with him. If he goes out personally this time ,hehe."

The six dukes around heard that there was already a way to deal with the Duke of Stoke, and they all became energetic. They originally felt that the analysis of the Duke of Hemmings was difficult, but they did not expect that the Duke of Humington had already prepared a method. All of them pricked up their ears.Benjamin asked suspiciously, "Humington, what method do you have to defeat him head-on? It is definitely not easy to rank first among the nine nobles of the Eagle Empire. I also know Duke Stoke's swordsmanship. If you say Someone in the Eagle Empire can beat him, I doubt it."

The Duke of Humington waved his hand and laughed, "Stoke's swordsmanship may be well-known in the Eagle Empire, but he is not invincible. At least I know one person whose swordsmanship is definitely not inferior to him!"

The six surrounding dukes raised their heads, looked at the Duke of Humington, and asked in unison, "Who?"

"Hehe, Poseidon, the French sword god, has ruled the world of swordsmanship for 20 years. Most of the sword masters of the younger generations in the world are his apprentices. He is 60 years old, and swept the French swordsmanship world at the age of 40. After meeting internationally renowned masters of swordsmanship , was named the God of Sword, so counting, the Duke of Stoke is still his descendant, is such a person more than enough to deal with the Duke of Stoke?" The Duke of Humington stroked the finger on the finger and laughed.

"What!?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

"Sword, sword god. Poseidon will go out in person.?" Duke Benjamin opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it anymore.
