Lord of War - v4 Chapter 230

  Tult and Elom, the two truly well-deserved masters of the underground world gathered at the portal, and soon spread like wildfire in the underground world.

All ethnic groups in the entire underground world, whether it is the six major ethnic groups or other order races, whether they are intentional or unintentional, and regardless of their true inner thoughts, everyone’s eyes are involuntarily looking at this very May change the future place of the entire underground world.

   Surrounding the entire portal, the Void Empire has built a simple defensive base in the past seven days.

Although    is just a simple defensive base, there are still a series of facilities that should be provided, but it is relatively simple.

  But if you look carefully, you can see that all the related facilities of the entire defense base are built with unique molds. This method of mold assembly is an architectural idea that Sean came up with five years ago. After the establishment of the void empire, it was built after the unremitting efforts of William and the craftsmen who developed the impact shield. And now Has been officially sent to the assembly line industry.

Although the assembly line manufacturing of these molds can only be completed with a high-power magic power engine, in a true sense, it can also be regarded as the first truly local industry of the Void Empire today-in the entire Marvel Continent, currently only Only the military factories of the Void Empire can produce these molds. As long as they are built correctly, these molds can be assembled into corresponding fortifications in a short time.

  Compared with the traditional fortification construction mode, this new type of fortification construction mode has the characteristics of fast construction speed, stronger sturdiness, higher construction concealment, and less manpower consumption. But the shortcomings are also obvious. The first thing is that the cost is too high-the same basic fortification building, the cost of this mold is twice that of the traditional model, and the second is the problem of transportation costs-short-distance transportation. Fortunately, if long-distance transportation is required, the cost is not as convenient as obtaining local materials.

   Therefore, the new model of fortification construction can only be applied to relatively special environments—for example, it is used to establish outposts during a raid on an enemy country, or it is used to establish an emergency frontline position during a raid.

  This time through the portal to invade the underground world, in addition to finding Sean, another purpose is to test this new fortification construction mode. ,

  Only the current information feedback, the effect is obviously surprisingly good.

  It’s just that the cost is a bit high.

  At this moment, there is a huge tent in the center of this base—about thirty meters away from the portal.

  At present, in the entire base, only the relevant fortifications are built with unique solid molds, but the soldier’s barracks and other places are still constructed using conventional camp tents and other methods. And this huge tent, which can accommodate about twenty people together, is the temporary command center and commander’s resting place for the entire base-Kozilek, Imoku, and Sean are temporarily living here.

  However, there are now two new guests in this tent.

  Turt and Elom.

  Elom only arrived here yesterday, and he was in a state of malaise. Although after a night’s rest, the mental state is slightly better, but it still looks like a blue nose and swollen face-the place that has been beaten by Alexis is obviously not so fast, but compared to the way behind Turt With terrifying and hideous scars, Elom was undoubtedly lucky.

  At least, he was not beaten so badly by Alexis, and the battle lasted only five days before it was over.

  Today is the eighth day of the underground world being invaded by the Void Empire.

Unlike Elom who just arrived here yesterday, Turt has been in this base for six days. It can be said that except for the initial transportation part he did not see, the construction of the entire defensive base was witnessed by his own eyes. Expanded under. For this “neighbor” who has completely controlled the only regular access channel in the entire underground world, it is impossible for Turt to say that he is not vigilant, but the situation is better than others, even if he is dissatisfied, there is no way. What to toss out.

  At this time, there is more than one army stationed in the underworld.

In addition to the Conviction Wing, which was trained by William at the beginning according to the standards of other empires’ trump cards, the steel wings known as the Void Shield and the Cecilia’s Guards, which are now known as the Queen’s Guards, have all entered The underground world. And in order to welcome the return of Sean, even the Black Swan Guard that was originally stationed at the Black Swan Castle, which is now the Void Crusader, also entered the underground world at the same time.

  Void Crusader, although the title has the word “legion”, in fact, this unit is far from the size of the legion. The predecessor of this force was the Black Swan Guard. In the three years since Sean’s disappearance, William expanded and reorganized the entire force. It can be said that in addition to retaining the spirit of the Black Swan Guard’s original ideological program, the entire force has been lost. Then there was the original guard stationed at the Black Swan Castle.

   But in contrast, this legion is also the only legion in the entire void empire that has reached the eighth level of combat power.

The entire Void Crusade is composed of all golden realm powerhouses. Two of the deputy commanders of the legion are still legendary powerhouses-and because of this, the 500-man troop can reach the level of the eighth-level legion. . In the face of the Sixth-level Legion such as Conviction Wings, Steel Wings, Jet Black Wings, and Queen’s Guards, the Void Crusaders can do 10 Very high winning percentage of eight victories.

  Of course, even if the commander participates in the war, the enemy will still be able to maintain a winning rate of nearly 70% when the scale of the hostility does not exceed 10,000.

  But in fact, everyone in the entire Void Empire knows that the meaning of the formation of this army is actually more of a spiritual symbol. After all, the Void Empire has now reached the level of an empire, and it is impossible to justify it without a high-end army. And in view of Sean’s frequent disappearances, if there is such an army to accompany him, many people can be at ease.

   “Unexpectedly, the surface world should have such a powerful empire.” Elom rubbed Wu Qing’s left eye, then sighed, “I am not dead, do you have any ideas?”

   “No.” Turt is so simple that it can even be said to be free and easy, “If these people really want to unify the entire underground world, you and I will have nothing to do.”

  Hearing Turt’s words, Elom thought of the black-haired woman who was very glamorous with a smile, but she shuddered as soon as she shot it. The facts are indeed what Turt said, if this void empire really wants to unify the entire underground world, even if he and Turt join forces, they will never be opponents of the other side, and the other side only needs to survive. After these two ancestors of the ancestors fell, no one in the entire underground world could stop the empire’s military front.

  It can be said that the opponent wants to take the entire underground world, it is only a matter of time.

  And different from the Void Empire, once the underworld war fails, the opponent can withdraw to the surface. The underground world is the last habitat for all of them, and if the war fails, they will have no way out. Especially now that the two races of dark elves and blood elves have obviously taken refuge in each other, and the entire underground world can no longer unite.

  ”Guess that person…their emperor, what do they want?” Elom asked again.

  Turt did not answer, but slanted his eyes to look at the werewolf ancestor who had fought with him for a lifetime but was still invincible. In a sense, Turt is envious of this stupid big man-Elom’s body is more burly and strong than Turt, and he is nearly forty centimeters taller than Turt.

“This kind of power tricks and tricks are good in your field.” Elom knew what Turt’s eyes meant, but he is now in a broken state, so he despises his IQ for Turt. The problem of inadequacy is completely ignored.

“Sigh.” Turt sighed, “I don’t know…. To be honest, I don’t even know what the other party wants, and I can’t speculate on the other party’s behavior logic. Many times, the other party’s behavior looks like It’s totally purposeless and meaningless, but my instinct tells me that if I think so, then I don’t even know how I died in the end.”

  Elom seemed to want to say something, but after his ears quivered slightly, the conversation turned: “Someone is coming.”

  A light footstep sounded.

   Then, a black-haired young man opened the curtain of the cloak and walked in hastily.

  Elom and Turt glanced at each other, their eyes were bright for a moment, but they soon calmed down.

  The person who walked into the camp was no one else, but Sean, who had been wandering in the underground world for three years.

  Elom and Turt can feel that Sean’s strength is not strong, at least there is a very obvious absolute gap with them. No matter which one of them, they can easily take down the black-haired young man in front of them, not to mention that both of them are gathered here now.

  It’s just that the unique and majestic awe-inspiring temperament of Sean also made them understand that even if the young man in front of him could be subdued, it would be meaningless to the current situation in the entire underground world. Therefore, the brilliance in the eyes of the two of them was fleeting, and they gave up this tempting idea by coincidence. Of course, a bigger reason is that neither Turt nor Elom can guarantee that when they do it by themselves, Will the other stop it?

“Very good, I’m glad you two didn’t rush to me.” Sitting on one side of the round table in the camp, Xiao En’s face showed a smile. His smile was sunny and sincere, at least it seemed to be full of friendliness. “Because my time is tight, I will make a long story short…. Oh, yes, as a pre-order etiquette, let me introduce myself first. I am Sean, Sean Connery, from the void empire on the surface. Hmm. …Can be regarded as the emperor for the time being.”

   “Temporarily?” Turt raised his eyebrows and keenly caught the subtext in Sean’s words.

“Well, the void empire was only established three years ago, but I was on your side at that time, so it is my…sister who has been in charge of all the affairs of the empire for several years.” Shaun thought about himself and Sisi. Leah’s relationship, and then he said, “In a sense, the void empire can continue to run like me or me. However, just a few days ago, my sister… Has returned to me.”

  Elom and Turt looked at each other again.

  This time, even if Turt didn’t say it, Elome understood the meaning. Of course, he also understood the crucial point: he could not understand the logic and patterns of behavior in this empire. Because according to the normal form, if a person like Sean with the status of the orthodox emperor of the empire disappears, then the successor will definitely not want to get him back. Of course, if he is a relative, he may still try to get it back, but It would never be possible to surrender all the power.

unless……

  Turt looked up and down Sean. From his unabashed look, Turt saw only fatigue and anxiety. The other party seems to be forcibly suppressing a certain emotion in his heart, trying his best to maintain a certain calm state and emotion to communicate with them – or, to negotiate.

“One thing, I can’t understand.” Turt said, “Why do you have to have such a face-to-face meeting with us? … If you eliminate us, then the whole underground world will not become you. Your back garden?”

  ”In terms of short-term benefits, it is indeed very rewarding.” Sean avoided this question in a more ingenious way.

  He can’t say that unifying the entire underground world goes against the dominant spirit of the will of the world, right?

  The underground world is part of the plane of miracle, so it is actually a part of the world’s will.

As a person involved in the world, Sean can interfere with some process changes in the world, but as a whole, he must lead the whole world to a prosperous and colorful course, instead of bringing the whole world under his control. Among. Of course, if he can ensure that the whole world is under his control and can make the whole world more colorful, then the will of the world also allows Sean to do so.

  Only in this way, Sean’s identity will be transformed from a world-involved person to a monitor.

   Just as Jibril liberated the entire world from the gods back then, he suddenly changed his identity from a world-handler to a watcher—this is what Sean heard from Jibril. The biggest difference between a monitor and a world-involved person is that the monitor can no longer interfere with the operation of the entire world. He must remove his own existence from this world and can only look at the world as a bystander.

  Turt doesn’t quite understand the meaning of Sean’s words. After all, in his opinion, how can there be any long-term and short-term benefits in unifying the entire underground world? But this question, he will not continue to ask, because it would appear that he is a little ignorant-especially in front of Elom, Turt is more reluctant to show ignorance, so he chose to be silent, and also revealed The look of thoughtful thinking.

  Only speaking, Turt is indeed much better than Elom, because after hearing Shaun’s words, Elom showed a dazed look.

   “What do you need?” Turt asked.

“Well, Serena…know?” Sean asked. Seeing Turt shook his head blankly, Sean sighed helplessly: “This is the direct blood after the first generation you don’t know. At the time when I was in trouble, I made an agreement with her, and I am very committed to commitment, so Serena Resenba will become the new head of your Resenba clan.”

   “No problem.” Turt nodded and agreed without hesitation.

  A direct descendant of his own clan, the so-called purebred blood clan, this did not cause any loss to Turt. After all, with his current status, it is impossible to continue to manage the entire clan, so no matter who is the head of the Luxemba clan, it is not a problem, let alone one of his own.

“Well, there is another person named Kane, who has just absorbed the pure blood of the Giovanni clan recently. If not surprisingly, in a few days, he should officially become a member of the Giovanni clan’s blood.” Sean After thinking for a while, he said, “There is no one to support the Giovanni clan now. I know that although you are not a member of the Giovanni clan, your influence is still somewhat deterrent to the Giovanni clan. I hope this One can become the head of the Giovanni clan.”

  This time, Turt did not promise to be so refreshed, but after a moment of hesitation, he still nodded and said, “Yes.”

  ”Very well, you see, we have now established a very friendly foundation.” Xiao En smiled, “Then, we can talk about a…more ambitious blueprint plan.”

   “A more magnificent…blueprint project?” Elom frowned. “What do you mean?”

   “I need you to recognize the legal status of our Void Empire in your underground world.”

   “Hmph, do we admit that there is any significance?” Elom sneered, “Your Excellency has the strength to occupy a territory here.”

“Whether you admit it or not is very important to me.” Sean doesn’t mind Elom’s hostility. On the contrary, Sean prefers fighting with Elom’s kind of force compared to Stewart’s calm attitude. Send communication, because this kind of people often don’t like to use their brains, so it is easier for Sean to control the topic of negotiation.

   “It’s because of identity.” Turt said, although he used interrogative sentences, the words were full of affirmative statements.

   “Whitewashing?” Elom was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood the meaning of it, “It’s a good calculation to change from the identity of an intruder to that of a legal resident.”

“You are not at a disadvantage, are you?” Sean continued to smile, and did not show any dissatisfaction. “First of all, I can assure you that our Void Empire will never be in the underground world. When launching any aggressive action, what is the old pattern of your underground world like and what it is still like, we will not interfere in this, the only thing we need is a territory, a…legal territory.”

  ”What price do we need to pay?” Turt continued to ask.

“You don’t need to pay anything, as long as you recognize our legal status.” Sean continued, but his tone was full of provocative tone, “As long as you don’t offend my territory and authority, then neither will I Will provoke your authority…. You see, we can all coexist peacefully with each other.”

  ”What about the allocation of resources?”

“In the form of trade.” Sean obviously has considered everything and perfected, so he has not been made difficult by Elome’s problem. “Your underground world also has a fully mature trading mechanism, whether it is currency trade or exchange of goods. We can all follow the rules established in your underground world.”

“I’m afraid it’s more than that.” Turt’s heart was suddenly taken aback, because he had realized what Shaun said at the beginning “In terms of short-term benefits, it is indeed a great harvest”. “Your Excellency. It’s a good calculation….deserving of an empire’s emperor, no…it should be said, worthy of being a person who can immediately regain the decision-making power of the empire after three years of disappearance.”

   “What do you mean?” This time, Elom was really uncomfortable.

“If our black-haired emperor unifies the entire underground world, he can indeed plunder a large amount of resources in a short period of time, but the method of harvesting these resources is a one-time, because he can’t reclaim the entire underground world, the same It’s impossible for the residents of our entire underground world to completely obey his rule.” Turt, which is rare, did not mock Elom’s wisdom, but opened his mouth to explain, “But once we recognize his legal resident status, Then the inhabitants of the underground world will be less repelled by him, and through this he can obtain a large amount of resources in our underground world…. By way of trade, he can obtain a long-term and stable resource chain.”

“You didn’t lose, did you?” Sean was not dissatisfied with Turt’s true purpose easily. “It is true that as you said, to unify the entire underground world, I can only get one need. The wasteland that took hundreds of years to be cultivated may be amazing enough in return, but it is not in my interest…. But if I form a partnership with you, or a trading partner, then I will Can quickly exploit the resources of your subterranean world. Similarly, your subterranean world can also achieve a period of rapid development, and its achievements and development will definitely not be limited to the current situation.”

   “Sounds… it seems very good?” Elom frowned. “But I always feel… there seems to be something wrong.”

“Because of the lack of intelligence.” Turt said in a deep voice, “Trade is based on demand. We don’t know what the price of these resources is in the surface world, so the pricing of resource trade is entirely up to the other party. Forget it, so we will suffer anyway.”

  Sean squinted his eyes slightly, but soon laughed again: “You are a very qualified politician, very keen.”

  Turt did not answer, in fact he also had a doubt in his heart.

  Intuition tells him that what Sean wants is not such a simple thing. It can even be said that this trade negotiation is just a foreshadowing and a prelude. What the man wants in front of him should be a deeper meaning hidden behind this.

  It’s just that Turt can’t figure out what it is.

   “Well, well, I take a step back.” Sean shrugged, “I allow you to have the right to free trade, how about?”

   “Free trade?” Elom glanced at Turt.

  ”It means that we can freely choose trade partners, not just the other party’s family.” Turt explained, “This method is indeed more fair, but the portal is in your hands…”

“You know, I can’t give up the portal to others.” Sean smiled. On this issue, his position was extremely firm. “I allow anyone who wants to trade with me to pass freely. Portal, conduct price surveys, and then determine the price of your resources…. But as a price, I will charge a certain fee for any materials that pass through the portal, and it does not include transportation services.”

   “Then what if the trade is done on the side of the underground world?” Stewart asked.

   “Then I want to slaughter you, naturally.” Sean shrugged, “However, any goods that enter my territory will also be subject to tariffs.”

  Turt did not speak, he just glanced at Elom, and then Sean felt a burst of spiritual power.

  He knew that this was a spiritual exchange between Turt and Elom, and out of courtesy, Sean did not touch the mental fluctuations of the two, he just waited patiently for the other’s reply.

  A moment later, Elom took the lead to speak: “Your Excellency, I’m very curious, what will happen if we don’t agree?”

“Then I have to solve both of you.” Sean said half jokingly and half helplessly, “But then, I am afraid it will take longer to stabilize the entire underground world…. So you guys Look, you two still have great importance.”

   “How much territory do you want?” Turt said.

“With the portal as the center, within a radius of five hundred kilometers.” Sean knew that when Turt asked this question, it meant that they had reached a consensus, and what was left was some offshoots of the contract. It’s the last quarter, but Sean doesn’t intend to participate in this point. He decides to let Diana take care of this issue.

  After temporarily reaching an unanimous consensus, Turt and Elom also left first, and they needed to convey this decision to the residents of other underground worlds.

  After Elom and Turt left, Alexis walked into the camp.

“I didn’t see it before. You actually have such a cunning side.” Looking at Sean, Alexis looked up and down like he had never known Sean. “If you can dig up the trap so much. deep.”

   “It’s just a small technique for distraction,” Sean said.

“The two guys…well, let’s not talk about the old wolf, but the vampire, who made such a careless mistake, will probably be his lifelong shame.” Alexis curled his lips. ” I’m really curious what kind of face he will show when he learns about the decree you are about to issue in the underground world.”

   “I can arrange for you to deliver the letter at that time. You can enjoy it up close.” Xiao En said.

   “Good idea!” Alexis’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded excitedly.

  As one of the closest people to Sean, Alexis naturally knows what Sean really intends.

  Fair trade with the entire underground world is just a bait. Sean’s real goal is to completely open up the entire underground world so that people in the entire underground world no longer hate the surface inhabitants. After that, Sean intends to use the residents of the Underworld as the reserve force of the Void Empire. He will carry out a series of conscription measures here to let these militants in the Underworld—especially the spiders. The demon army has all joined the void empire.

  And as long as those who are sent to the surface world to investigate prices come back to describe the beautiful surface world, Xiao En believes that there are absolutely not many people who can resist the temptation of “going to the surface world”. At that time, it will only be more convenient for Sean’s conscription plan, and limited by the fact that “cannot offend the ruling authority of the void empire”, even if Turt and Elom learn such news, it will not help.

  As for the Void Empire, after launching such a new type of legion, whether people from other countries on the surface will imitate this system is beyond Sean’s control. But one thing Sean can be sure of is that the portal is in the hands of the Void Empire after all, so the Void Empire naturally has such a huge advantage-other countries want to form an army composed entirely of the inhabitants of the underground world. More than ten years is simply impossible.

  This is the huge advantage that Sean has.

Even in the blueprint for the future, Shaun has already thought about what the five major races in the underground world can be responsible for: the demons can obviously arrange to enter the realm of the void; the arachnid army can be used as a fortified force; the blood race and the dark The elves can be used as highly mobile troops; the werewolves are very suitable for combat in terrains such as mountains and jungles.

  This kind of huge gain is far greater than Sean completely conquering the entire underground world.

  This is the long-term benefit that Sean desires.

“Dianna will be here in a few days, and I need you to stay here at that time.” Sean looked at Alexis, and then said, “Only you can suppress those two guys. “

   “I see.” Alexis nodded, “Then when are you going back?”

   “Immediately.” Sean said, “Hitley told me that she has prevented Cecilia from forcibly passing through the portal almost a hundred times.”

   “Well, then I will be responsible for the rest of the work.” Alexis nodded, “You go back first.”

   “Then please.” Sean said, then immediately got up and left.

  Beside the portal, Kozilek and Imoku have already been waiting here, and besides these two, the Void Crusader and Cecilia’s Guards have also assembled. The defensive base of this underground world was officially handed over to Levi for overall management yesterday, and Abaza was the deputy commander of this base, and all related defensive work was transferred to the two units of Conviction Wings and Steel Wings. .

  After completing the urban-scale expansion of this underground base, the management of the entire underground city will be transferred to Alyssa. Levi and Conviction Wings will continue to stay in this underground world, responsible for the defense and security of the entire underground city, and Abaza and his steel wings will also return to the surface world at that time.

  It is not that Sean does not trust steel wings, but Abaza is really not suitable for managing a city, especially a trading city type city that is destined to occupy an extremely important position in the void empire in the future. And throwing the steel wings known as the Void Shield into the underground world, this made Shaun feel a little wasteful.

   Standing at the portal, Sean took a deep breath: “We… go home!”

   Then, he stepped into the path of the abyss that has now been completely stabilized.
