Chapter 154 Chapter 150 Three Chess Players and Pieces, Master and Gouzi
In the afternoon, the door of the meeting hall finally opened.
With a creak, a crowd of people filed out.
From time to time, someone turned their heads and saluted into the hall.
"In that case, I'll leave it to Mr. Tonios!"
"Yes, thank you Lord Neos!"
"Where, the next step is to rely on the help of the leaders."
Nios stood at the door, clasped his hands and smiled: "Besides, Issini has no conflict of interest with the major tribes. This alliance is too late on our side."
I don't know what was discussed in the hall, but at this moment the leaders all have a respectful and humble attitude, wishing to stick their heads in the ground.
Anya was standing behind the master at this moment, still unable to stop being startled.
I have heard my master say before that words are like knives and words are terrifying, but this time I have truly seen what it means to be swayed.
Just relying on a word of mouth, let these turtles stand up against Rome. In short, those who have soldiers send troops and those who have money pay money, and no one can stay out of it.
"Amazing, master!" Anya couldn't help but admire.
"What's so great about it, it's just bullying."
Neos smiled: "You must know that a sharp long sword is always better than a sharp speech. Justice and truth only exist within the edge of the sword."
Anya looked serious and nodded: "Understood."
Nios: "It's good if you understand, go beat the drums and tell the queen that you can withdraw your troops and come back."
"Okay!" Anya left.
There was long applause in the hall.
"You haven't left yet, Mr. Epos?" Neos took a deep breath, but didn't look back.
"You are negotiating with us while smiling, but you are sharpening your sword behind your back, Neos, you really are a monster."
The voice of the old man behind him was hoarse and low: "I was thinking, if we refuse to send troops to help, will Boudica bring the troops from the morning over the next moment?"
"how come?"
Nios turned around quickly, squinted and smiled: "As long as you help me, they won't refuse."
The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes collapsed, and he smiled helplessly: "So, did you guess from the beginning that I would be on your side?"
"No, you're not on our side."
With the same jaw of Neos, he said firmly: "You are just standing opposite the Romans, or to be more accurate..."
He smiled dangerously: "You are standing opposite Gatus!"
Epos stared at Neos's expression, with a trace of fear in his eyes: "So you already know, do you know the purpose of my coming to you this time?"
"I invited Gatos and you, but Gatos didn't come, but you came. This has already explained a lot."
Neos glanced at him: "So I guess, you want to borrow troops from us to fight Nagatos?"
Epos was startled, couldn't help taking a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Oh, let's be like this!
But it was you who asked me to take refuge in him, how did you know that there would be conflicts between me and him? "
"If you don't have conflicts, why should I bring you together?"
Nios looked at him and smiled: "A Roman who has no bargaining chip and wants to clear his guilt and return to Rome;
There is also a tribal leader who has some chips in his hand but has lost one after another.
Although you both want to make a comeback, no matter how you look at it, you shouldn't be together. "
Seeing this smile, Epos shuddered all over, and an absurd sense of fate being manipulated enveloped his whole body.
Neos turned his head to watch the flag raised on the roof, and said casually, "So since you came alone, it means that your strength and power have almost been robbed by Gatus."
All, all hit!
Epos smiled wryly, and his whole body collapsed, as if he had aged ten years instantly: "Ah, thanks to you, after I was attacked by Paulinus in London last time, Gatus deprived me of my military power."
Nios nodded lightly: "I know, I revealed the location of your ambush, and Paulinus thought it was me."
"really......"
Epos resigned to his fate: "Since you know that I will ask you for help when I come here, what's your answer?"
"I'm just a military adviser. Whether I will send troops to help you or not depends on the Queen's decision." Neos said.
Epos crossed his eyes at him with "you're kidding me" eyes: "Do you think I don't know, you are the operator of everything?"
Neos raised his eyebrows: "Then let's pretend that Her Majesty the Queen is willing to lend you troops."
Epos finally breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked deeply: "Then, thank you Queen."
"Don't rush to thank you."
Neos raised his hand: "My Lady Queen will not lend you troops, horses and provisions for nothing."
"I have realized this for a long time."
Epos' face turned serious: "What...what does Her Majesty the Queen want me to do?"
"Not much, just two points." Neos raised two fingers.
"Two o'clock?" Epos frowned.
Neos nodded: "One, the soldiers and horses borrowed from you will not come from Issini, but from the covenant just now."
Epos was taken aback, slightly surprised: "Do you want me to control the army of the tribal alliance?"
"That's right, after all, those leaders seem to recognize you as an experienced veteran more than the queen." Neos shrugged.
Epos pondered for a moment: "What about the second point?"
"Second, after you take those rebels and take Gatos down,"
Neos paused for a moment: "I want you to lead the troops to attack the Roman army."
"Hit, hit Rome..."
Epos blinked his eyes: "That's it?"
"Of course it's more than that,"
Neos lowered his head and rubbed his fingers: "After all, I just signed an alliance with Rome in London not long ago. On the surface, Issini is still an ally of Rome."
Epos suddenly realized: "You want us to be the first birds, and then you hide behind and stab the knife?"
For this kind of rough talker, Neos gave him a blank look.
Coughing twice, he put his middle and index fingers together, waved his right hand, pointed at the old man, and said, "Anyway, after the sacrificial ceremony ends tomorrow, I will let the queen take you as the head, and call those leaders to gather under your command."
Epos was silent for a moment, his expression slightly excited: "But...you, aren't you afraid that I will betray the same as last time?"
Neos glanced at him lightly: "Do you dare?"
The old man shut up for a moment.
After a long silence, Epos sighed in a low voice: "But I always feel that you let me get the military power so easily, wouldn't it be that simple?"
"Of course, after driving away the Romans, if the Queen wants to unify Britain, you will be the first to face her."
Neos nodded: "So this time, I want you to weaken Rome, and Rome to weaken you."
Ah this...
The corner of Epos's mouth twitched: "Hey, is it really okay for you to just tell me like this?"
"So what if I tell you, anyway, you can't refuse." Neos smiled contemptuously.
Epos was about to refute, but suddenly stopped and fell silent.
"The game of thrones is only about life and death, and now there is no possibility of relaxation between you and Gatos."
Nios said: "So after he completely swallows your chips..."
"...He will definitely kill me." Epos took his words and said in a low voice.
Neos smiled: "Smart!"
"Smart?"
The old man laughed at himself, "Whether you stayed in London back then, or you pushed me to Ilchester, or joined Gatus, I have always been nothing more than your pawn.
He looked at Neos, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness all over his body: "It's a pity that I didn't realize it until now."
"That's why I said you're smart, and you can't tell if you're not," Nios said.
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Epos's old face changed back and forth, and finally collapsed: "Anyway...thank you."
"Don't thank me, thank the queen." Nios waved his hands, rolled up his sleeves, wiped his body, and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
Just as he was stepping out the gate, he suddenly heard the old man asking a question, feeling extremely lonely.
"I want to ask, why did you choose her when you were in London?"
Neos stood still and remained silent for a long time without looking back.
"A shriveled old man with a bad personality, a pretty widow with red hair and big breasts, and a precocious and well-behaved little daughter, do you still have to ask which one to choose?"
The old man was stunned for a long time, and gently pulled the corner of his mouth: "Do monsters like you have desires?"
Nios turned around and smiled.
"Of course, I'm just an ordinary person after all."
