The turning point came when after the initial friendly but meaningless conversation, Viscount Tatedu asked the so-called Director Shi Hongwei from the other world about the specific contents of the alliance signed between Earth China and Roman Tatedu.
Faced with the noble man's cordial inquiry, the short white-haired old man next to the throne replied bluntly: "Sir Viscount, we are just an inspection group with a diplomatic mission. In other words, the Chinese government has not yet decided whether to cooperate with Make a covenant with your territory.
Everything will have to wait until we return to China and submit the report of this inspection, and then go through the evaluation of the think tank before we can reach a conclusion. ¡±, which made the atmosphere in the stone palace suddenly become cold.
Ten seconds later, Mangel, the herdsman of Tate, who stood next to the viscount like a courtier, showed a cold smile on his stone-like face, and broke the dead silence around him, "From a foreigner." Guests of the world, you have happily concluded an alliance with the Silorians, the sworn enemies of 'Tatedu' and the source of all evil.
But now, in the face of the goodwill shown by the great ruler of the entire Tatdu territory in person, he dismissively shirks it. Is it because he looks down on us Tatdu people? "
"Ms. Mangel, the key to establishing diplomatic relations is mutual benefit, and the basis of mutual benefit is mutual understanding.
Do you think we know each other well enough now?" Listening to the female herdsman's unkind tone, the group leader also restrained his smile and said seriously, "As a senior cadre of Earth China, I lead more than 20 comrades, I have traveled thousands of miles to come to your Tatedu city to visit the Viscount. This in itself represents the sincerity and respect of the Chinese government.
If this is considered looking down on the Tatdu people, then what should we say that we, as diplomats, were attacked by Roman regular troops just outside your Lord Tatdu city? "
"Well" Although Mangel is knowledgeable and talented, he has a cold personality and lacks quick wit. When asked by the white-haired old man from another world, he opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing the herdsman officer's embarrassment, the chief staff officer of Tate's command on the side suddenly changed his expression and said, "Sir Shi Hongwei. But no matter how you explain it, the reality is that your country has never done anything before. Hesitantly formed an alliance with the Silorians, but now he is resisting our Tatdu people's request for an alliance.
??Perhaps you don¡¯t know, , captured the Middle Enite Plains of the Getre Territory, which was vassalized by the Silorians. Now the strength of 'Tatedu' is no less than that of the earldom of 'Siloria'. In this"
"Okay, Weimande. The distinguished guests from the other world did not reject my kindness, they just want to make a more careful decision," the chief staff officer from the territory said. Viscount Tatedu, whose face was livid, suddenly interrupted Wimande abruptly, "In fact, taking such a serious view of whether to form an alliance with 'Tatedu' shows their sincerity, doesn't it?
¡°It is you, as the chief staff officer who coordinates the military affairs of the territory, who actually allowed bandits to attack the diplomatic mission near the capital of Tate. Such dereliction of duty is what truly embarrasses me. "
"It is indeed my dereliction of duty to allow bandits to run rampant in the hinterland of the territory and to openly attack foreign missions, Lord Viscount." In the eyes of the lord, which seemed to emit flames, the chief staff officer of Tatedu lowered his head and struggled in pain. After a moment, he suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "For this reason, I am willing to retire and resign from my post to atone for my sins."
"Retire and resign to atone for your sins" Viscount Tatedu was stunned, and could no longer hide his anger and roared: "Okay, okay, I allow you to go back to your own manor and retire!
Guards, give me my order, start immediately, by, by"
"Lord Viscount, as your former teacher, I implore you to temporarily extinguish the fury of thunder." Sitting on the right hand side of Lord Roman, the great wise man of Tate, who is also the chief advisor, stopped his anger with an old and hoarse voice. "Although Grand Staff Officer Wimande has neglected his duty, his fault is not so great that he needs to retire to atone for his sins.
Since he has shown his repentance, I beg you to temporarily forgive his sins and allow him to personally lead soldiers to hunt down the bandits in chaos and make meritorious deeds. "
The fat body "Huh, Huh" panting heavily, trying hard to calm down his anger, Viscount Tatdu's face gradually returned to calm, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Wimande, since Teacher Etfugo is interceding for you, Then I will temporarily forgive your dereliction of duty.
General Haodende, immediately allocate ten air cavalry teams to our chief staff officer. I will temporarily grant him the title of 'commander' and personally lead the Tatedu soldiers to suppress the bandits. "
"Yes, Lord Viscount." General Tatedu, who was standing next to Chief Staff Officer Tatedu, bowed expressionlessly in response to the lord's order. Then he turned to look at his colleagues with a half-smiling expression. When Weiman De gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Viscountpeople. "After that, they left the stone palace together.
"I've made you laugh, distinguished guests from another world." Seeing the two ministers who had been loyal to him disappear before his eyes, Viscount Tatedu reluctantly smiled at the fake mission and said, "Fine wine, delicious food and The delightful song and dance performances have been prepared. If you have any other requests later, please feel free to ask.
"Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you in person because of my physical discomfort. Hedlund will entertain you well for me." "
"Then I would like to thank you in advance for your warm hospitality, Lord Viscount." The white-haired old man sitting at the bottom showed a sensible expression, bowed without any hesitation, and led the pretend delegation behind Lord Tatdu. , filed out of the stone palace.
After watching the guests from another world leave, Viscount Tatedu showed a tired expression and ordered: "I'm tired, you all can go down.
Teacher Etfugo, please leave it to me to read Holstein¡¯s battle report again to make me feel better. "
"Then we retire, sir." The other people in the stone hall looked at the lord with different expressions and saluted, and then they all exited the stone hall. They had just walked out of the door, and before the stone door could be closed again, Viscount Tatdu had already He beat the armrest of his throne angrily and shouted incoherently: "Even Wimande has betrayed me, even Wimande has betrayed me, teacher.
I saved the lives of both his father and son on the battlefield, I gave him honor and restored his 'family name', but now he has also defected to Holstein. The betrayal of others cannot make me so angry, but he, There's really no reason for him to do this to me, damn maggot. "
"It is precisely because he has lost his honor before and understands the hardship and misery of the life of an untouchable that your chief staff officer does not want to lose his 'family name' again," Etfugo said calmly as he waited quietly for Lord Roman to vent his anger. Said: "His betrayal is the most deserved, sir."
"But I am the lord of 'Tatedu', and now I have hope to stand up again and return to the battlefield. Why can't he wait any longer? He has been waiting for three years, why can't he wait any longer! "Viscount Tatedu roared.
"Because of your brother's miraculous victory in the Middle Enit Plain, the Tat leader had the opportunity to occupy the entire plain for the first time in 150 years," Etfugo said calmly: " This kind of martial arts is comparable to or even better than your bravery in hundreds of battles.
"If Wymand still sides with you at this time, then he will be completely disgusted by Sir Holstan. In this case, if you are really forced to abdicate, his entire family will suffer painful revenge. "
After hearing such a frank analysis and explanation from the great wise man Tatedu, Lord Roman could no longer get angry. His heavy body trembled a few times with his long breaths, and he said with a wry smile: "Teacher, you are really outspoken to me. Ah, since things have reached this point, why don¡¯t you simply side with Holstein?¡±
"The Etefago family has never held power by catering to the powerful," Etefago said calmly: "Speculation will never let a family in the Roman Continent, Tatedu, Avant, Ovik just to name a few. All ten lordships have members in high positions, and only wisdom, knowledge and loyalty will do."
"You were born in a great family, teacher, I made a mistake just now." Viscount Tatdu looked at the calm expression of the old man beside him, was silent for a moment, lowered his noble head sincerely, and then said bitterly: "Then What should I do next, is it really the end of the road?"
"If that alien mission had not appeared, I would have advised you to abdicate your throne tonight and follow me to retreat to the manor, sir," Etfugo said thoughtfully: "But now things have turned around slightly, although I hope It¡¯s not big, but you should be able to give it a try,¡±
"You mean" Viscount Tatedu's eyes lit up, and then he said hesitantly: "But wouldn't this be too hasty?"
"Now the situation in the territory has reached a point where there is no need to delay. There is no time for you to slowly complete the 'layout'." Etefango shook his head and said: "If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to fight hard, at most Twenty days later, Sir Horstein repelled the Silorians and rescued the army led by Gotre, stabilizing the situation in the Central Enit Plain.
When you return to the Tate capital as a victor who has expanded your territory, you will inevitably have no choice but to abdicate. "
"You're right, teacher," Viscount Tatdu's face turned green again. He thought about it carefully and nodded heavily, "I really don't have much time left.
Tonight, you will accompany me to meet with Shi Hongwei secretly"
"No, we should see that it is not the leader of the alien mission, but yours"?¡®Old friend¡¯ Zhang Bingqi. "A weird smile appeared on the corner of Etfugo's mouth, and he rarely interrupted Lord Tatedu's words and whispered.
