Lord of War

  Since the end of the first meeting, Cecilia really spent several days of relaxing and happy time.

  And Thea has been by Cecilia's side these days. On the one hand, it was because of Cecilia’s profound knowledge and strong strength, and on the other hand, because Thea had no friends who could talk to her since she was a child. I felt the meaning of the word "friend" for the first time.

  As the most legendary magician of the Maggie Empire, Thea Maggie has always been highly anticipated by the entire empire, and the royal family has cultivated her as the heir of Saibal. If Thea does not fall in the future, she will definitely become the next dean of Maggie Empire Mage Academy and the owner of one of the Twin Star Mage Towers.

  In this way, Thea will never have friends who can be regarded as "close".

  Even the word "friend" has become a luxury.

All of this stems from Thea’s amazing magical talents and powerful strength. Since three years ago, Thea defeated another genius magician who has always been as famous as her. The legendary name became a symbol of the Maggie Empire. Saibal also directly asserted that Thea's future will never stop at the ranks of the 16th-order super powers, and is definitely expected to break through the 18th-order traditional limit.

   Given such high hopes, Thea's pressure can also be imagined. She spends almost all of her time learning magic.

  To some extent, Cecilia defeated Thea head-on in public, in fact, to a large extent, it was the relief of Thea-this is naturally due to Thea's subtle emotional intelligence and self-esteem. If it’s the magic genius who was defeated by Thea three years ago, it’s probably “I’ve tried so hard but I can’t beat you, a woman who has been sleeping and unconscious for a long time!”, “Do you know how hard I have worked all these years? "Such extreme ideas.

   And Cecilia also asked Thea, don’t you hate her? In front of so many people, defeated her.

In this regard, Thea’s answer was: "Why should I hate you? You defeated me upright, which proves that my strength is indeed inferior to you. It also allows me to clearly see the gap between us and let me know. I still have a lot to learn on the path of pursuing the truth of magic."

  It is precisely because of this sentence that Cecilia truly became friends with Thea.

  In a way, Cecilia thinks Thea is much cuter than Angel. And when she thought that Angel, the guy who made her hate, was actually in the royal capital of the Void Empire, Cecilia felt unusually dissatisfied.

  It’s just that, as the friendship with Thea deepens, Cecilia’s guilt for Thea grows deeper.

   After all, Cecilia had impure motives for the Maggie Empire from the beginning.

And in recent days, according to the news from the rupiah, although Albares has not been closely watched and monitored, the chances of meeting have been greatly reduced. Celia and William were naturally unwilling to expose the piece of Albares. Therefore, this has naturally increased the difficulty of the progress of the work of Ruby, Elickett, Hebrew and others.

  However, this question did not bother Cecilia and others for long. On the ninth day after the end of the first meeting, the Maggie Empire held a second meeting.

Originally, Cecilia and others thought that after Cecilia took control of the pace of the meeting for the first time, the second meeting should be held within three to five days, and the Maggie Empire would definitely be more prepared. Ways to overwhelm Cecilia's strength. And William even gave Cecilia an idea for this, so that she must cooperate with the preparations of the Maggie Empire and make some appropriate steps to stabilize the Maggie Empire and buy more time for Ruby and others. .

  As a result, the second meeting was held later than Cecilia and others had expected. This undoubtedly made Cecilia and others feel very puzzled, and it is even possible that the originally prepared plan would be aborted.

  So, when this second meeting was held, Cecilia, William and others were all ready for the tug-of-war.

  Unexpectedly, at the second meeting, the Maggie Empire did not have any greetings and politeness at all, and went straight to the topic.

  Moreover, this topic is quite different from the content of the first meeting.

  The theme of the first meeting was basically around the alliance and cooperation between the Maggie Empire and the Void Empire and the issue of ownership of the Duchy of Lumber. However, during the second meeting, the content was directly changed to "to discuss together the possibility of cooperation on the Magic Technology project."

  This is really a surprise for Cecilia.

"This one is the latest scientific research project of our empire, the Magic Nuclear Energy Project." The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Auburn directly handed over a dozen drawings to Cecilia's hands. His expression was frank and sincere. Obviously, I really intend to study this project together with the void empire represented by Cecilia. "According to our evaluation and testing, once this project is successfully studied, it is conservatively estimated that the current magic power machine should be improved by five times the power performance. ."

  Cecilia didn't reply, but looked down at the dozens of drawings in front of her.

As a magician, Cecilia can naturally understand the contents of these drawings very clearly, and with her current level of intelligence, she can quickly complete the magic construction directly in her mind based on the data listed on the drawings. mold.

  But in fact, Cecilia doesn't need to complete the modeling of this magic model in her head.

She knew that the "Magic Nuclear Source Energy" project was naturally not an accident, but what the Heerson Institute told her-no matter what the price is paid in Ceciliati, the subterranean fortress must be made After the path of the abyss successfully resumed the plan, the Heerson Institute did spend a lot of effort to finally develop a new type of magic power machine.

  In terms of conception, the performance of this new type of magic power machine is about five to eight times stronger than that of the magic power machine that has been popularized on the Marvel Continent. If it can achieve the maximum boosting power effect, this new magical power machine can basically meet the requirements of Cecilia, and can at least ensure that a hundred fully armed soldiers can be sent to the underground world in each cooling cycle.

  And this cooling cycle, according to the results of multiple tests, is estimated to be about five to seven days.

  Although Cecilia is slightly dissatisfied with this result, it is still acceptable.

  Only when the research and development work on the new magic power machine was halfway through, it had to be stopped. The reason is simple, because one of the core components of the magic power machine-the power source cannot meet the power output of the magic power machine. In other words, it is completely unable to reach the expected level of five to eight times, and can only double the level of the first-generation magic power machine at most. This means that it is not only impossible to send one to the underground world every five to seven days. A hundred soldiers, even the transportation volume of soldiers has to be reduced.

  If you want to overcome this problem and make the second-generation magic power machine reach the corresponding level, then you must redevelop the core components that provide power. This process is likely to take three to five years.

  This made Cecilia unacceptable.

   At this time, the Heerson Institute received a message indicating that the Maggie Empire had secretly developed a brand new power source for more than ten years. Although no more information has been circulated, judging from the existing intelligence clues, the power source developed by Maggie secretly matches the second-generation magic power machine to a very high degree, and the increase ability can exceed the original second-generation power source. The idea of ​​the magical power machine is fifteen times astonishing as the current first generation.

   Therefore, Cecilia will immediately leave the Maggie Empire.

The purpose of    is to get this drawing.

  But now, when this drawing is really in front of her eyes, Cecilia's face doesn't look good.

  The reason is simple.

  Everything is exactly as the other party said, this is an unfinished work, not even a semi-finished product. Judging from the data and conditions listed on the drawing, everything shows that this power source is still at the stage of material review and processing, and even the model machine has not been produced.

  Noting Cecilia's face, William next to him looked curiously at Cecilia. Although he was also a little puzzled in his heart, why did the Maggie Empire propose this cooperation agreement at this time? Could it be that the Maggie Empire discovered their little actions? But in any case, William of course will not show it at this time, after all, his current status is just an entourage.

  On the contrary, Ulamo picked up a drawing and looked at it.

  As a magician, Ulamog naturally understands these contents, and his calculation ability is undoubtedly better than Cecilia. Even from these drawings and data, he has found two errors, and as Ulamog who understands that the Void Empire is now developing the second-generation magic power machine project, he also knows the magic core in the hands of the Maggie Empire. If the source energy plan is really successfully developed, it will definitely not be as simple as the other party's claim that it can increase performance by five times.

"It's really a great plan." Cecilia put down these drawings. She can see the sincerity of the Maggie Empire, so her attitude is much more sincere. "But I don't understand why you should be at this time. Proposed."

"To be honest, with the current scientific research capabilities of the Magi Empire, it is difficult to develop successfully in a short period of time." It was the current emperor of the Magi Empire who spoke. The experience of the magical power machine, and it is said that you are also involved in the research and development project of the teleportation magic circle, so I thought of this."

  Whether it is the first-generation magic power machine or the teleportation magic circle, it is actually the result of scientific research by the Heerson Institute.

  But there are some things, just know it well, and there is no need to make everything completely public. The Maggie Empire is clearly aware of this, so it is said that the Void Empire has experience. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Helson Institute is basically the research department of the Void Empire, and all of this is naturally due to some ideas that Sean has put forward continuously, and these ideas alone are enough for Helson to study He served for the Void Empire for hundreds of years.

  Although no one knows how Sean has such advanced knowledge and technology, the Heerson Institute is not disgusted with solving these scientific research problems for Sean.

"I believe that your country will not make such a huge concession of benefits for no reason." Cecilia took a deep breath, and then slowly said. At this moment, she has regained the supreme queen temperament. "In my opinion, if this plan is completed by your country, it should be able to occupy a great position of interest. But now, you have proposed to cooperate with me and give me the initiative. I really want to I know, what are the reasons why your country is willing to make such concessions?"

  The emperor of Maggie Empire did not immediately reply, but reached out and tapped on the table in the conference hall.

  The entire conference hall fell into silence for a while.

   And Cecilia did not urge at this time, but chose to wait quietly.

  She and Thea are now considered close friends, but this is only because of her personal relationship. If it is from the perspective of the interests of the Void Empire, Cecilia’s first consideration must be the Void Empire. This is why it is clear that she and Thea are already friends, but they still did not let Ruby and others stop stealing the magic core. The plan of the source energy blueprint is all because the Void Empire needs this blueprint.

  So now, the Maggie Empire suddenly made this blueprint completely public and expressed its intention to cooperate with the Void Empire, so Cecilia must figure out what caused the Maggie Empire to have this intention. And this kind of result caused by this intention, is there any danger to the future of the void empire?

  These are all things that Cecilia must figure out.

   "The expeditionary force of the Void Empire came for the Duchy of Lembel, right?"

"Yes." Cecilia nodded. The movement of the Void Empire Expeditionary Army was too great to hide it at all. Even the arrangement of the reveal of the supply is already a well-known thing. "The Principality of Lumber It is my hometown, but since the current Grand Duke Lembel brutally murdered my parents, it is no longer my hometown.... Before I was unable to avenge my parents, but now I have this. Ability, then I must avenge my parents."

  "Then, may I ask the Queen of Phoenix, what do you plan to do after retaking the Duchy of Lumber?" The emperor of the Maggie Empire asked again.

  And this question also happens to be the question that Cecilia has not been able to discuss results with William and Hela so far.

  In a strategic sense, the Principality of Lembel has nothing to do with the Void Empire except for a symbolic meaning. On the contrary, because of an extra enclave, it will diminish the military power of the Void Empire. After all, if the garrison force in the Duchy of Lembel is weak, then the Saint-Joles Empire can be conquered by force at any time, but if the garrison force becomes strong, the force of the void empire will definitely be weakened. This is necessary at the same time. It is naturally unfavorable to guard against the void empires of multiple countries.

  Especially, after losing the natural buffer zone of the Kingdom of Fascism, the Chenas Empire and the Void Empire are already neighbors to each other.

  In the face of this extremely powerful military empire, the Void Empire does not trust how charitable they are. The reason why there is no aggression against the Void Empire at the moment is only because the Void Empire has not exposed any weaknesses, but once the weaknesses are exposed, neither Hela nor William or Neil will believe that the Zenus Empire will give up such a good invasion. opportunity.

  So how to deal with the enclave of the Duchy of Lembel has become a difficult problem for Cecilia, Hella, and William.

"Queen Phoenix, since you used to be a member of the Duchy of Lembel, you should know the importance of the Duchy of Lembel on the northern continent." Without any oblique temptation, the emperor of the Maggie Empire said straightforwardly. "Then I have a proposal here. I don’t know if Queen Phoenix is ​​willing to listen."

   "Of course I would like to listen to the teachings from the elderly." Cecilia said with a smile.

"The retaking of the Duchy of Lumber is a burden for the Void Empire, because it is the result of the geographical location and cannot be reversed." The emperor of the Maggie Empire said in a deep voice, "Moreover, the Duchy of Lumber is now Lean towards the Empire of St. Joles, so once your army of the Void Empire launches an offensive, the army of the Empire of St. Joles will definitely intervene, and a larger war will inevitably break out at that time, which is likely to cause your hometown. An irreparable devastating blow."

  Cecilia didn't speak, because these results were already in their expectations.

"In fact, as the Queen of the Principality of Rembel, you should also know that our Maggie Empire and St. Joel’s Empire have always been at odds with each other. So if we both form an alliance, then I can even send troops to help you. Stop the reinforcements of the Saint-Joers Empire, thereby confining the war in the Duchy of Lembel to your personal affairs."

"Do you mean that the Void Principality and the Maggie Empire form an alliance?" Cecilia frowned. Although from the very beginning, Hela led the expeditionary force on the expedition. He had also thought about this plan, but this is for As far as the Maggie Empire is concerned, there is no interest at all. After all, the most important reason for forming an alliance is the unification of interests. Therefore, Hela and William did not let Diana go to the Maggie Empire, if it were not because of the magic nuclear energy project. , Cecilia will definitely not come to Maggie Empire, "But this is not good for Maggie Empire, right?"

"It's no good. The geographical location of the Duchy of Lembel has always been a bridgehead. No matter which side our country and the Saint-Joles Empire have, it will pose a large threat to the other." Maggie Empire The emperor replied directly, with a very frank attitude, "As long as the Queen's policy is biased towards our Maggie Empire after retaking the Duchy of Lembel, then this is a very big advantage for us.... And, if it were us As an ally, then our country can also send some troops to assist you in your defenses. In this way, the Void Empire does not need to deploy too many troops in this enclave. Isn’t this two birds with one stone?"

  Hearing this, Cecilia finally knew what the emperor of Maggie Empire was making.

  After thinking about it for a moment, a smile appeared on Cecilia’s face: "I have better suggestions here. I wonder if you want to hear it?"

"I listen carefully." The emperor of the Maggie Empire was stunned, but Xuan even nodded with a smile, because as far as he was concerned, he was afraid that Cecilia would not speak, and as long as Cecilia was willing to speak, then Things are easy to talk about.

"I can sell all the territories of the Duchy of Lembel to the Maggie Empire." Cecilia said with a smile that made the emperor of the Maggie Empire and all the important officials of the Maggie Empire in the conference hall feel A frightening sentence. (To be continued~^~)
