Under everyone's attention, Nalin, the special envoy of the Red Dragon Palace who seemed to have no idea how attractive she was, twisted her waist slightly and sat down opposite the ordinary-looking black-haired young man. An Keluo, the head of the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department, placed a black man on the table. On the table, he indicated that he had checked it, then turned around and made a gesture behind him, and the intelligence department personnel who had been arranged quickly cleared the place. Ankoluo walked to the door, and finally closed the door from the outside. In the silent air, there was only a man and a woman sitting opposite each other. Na Lin glanced at the empty library all around, her pretty face carefully stared at the stern silhouette of the black-haired young man, and sighed, "Your Majesty, do you know that even in the Red Dragon Palace, I, Na Lin, stand against going to war with the empire?" Otherwise, someone else would not have arranged to send me the drawings last time. In fact, many people at that time thought that His Majesty would force Nalin to stay because of his lust. However, no one thought that His Majesty not only did not keep me, but also really The main force of Aden's navy was severely damaged in Mars Crescent Bay, and this made the high priest completely determined to force the Aden royal family to enter the palace! "The black-haired young man looked calm and silent. "We didn't expect that His Majesty would really believe that drawing, and we I just think that the empire has the blueprints, and it should be able to fight with the Aden Navy. Originally, the biggest goal was to temporarily delay the royal navy, but the fact is that the empire navy won a great victory, and the main force of our Aden navy was lost." Na Lin is beautiful Staring at the black-haired young man, her eyes were full of admiration and a bit of shock. She was different from others. As the core figure who personally participated in the private transaction, she knew better who was commanding the empire thousands of miles away. The main force of the navy, who used those hands known as the number one in strategy in the mainland, to lay a decisive blow to the main force of the Aden navy, known as the maritime hegemon, in the Mas Crescent Bay thousands of miles away. In that battle, the Aden navy not only suffered losses It was so simple and tragic, but it changed the situation from the entire Gulf of Aden to the sea area of ??more than 2,000 miles in Central Asia. But what is really shocking is that the influence of this battle for Aden can be described as being cut in half. Mars Crescent Bay, not to mention losing control of most of the sea areas, even the Nanxi area that has been suppressed is now ready to move. This mission to the empire is not only to cease the war, but also to hope that the empire will not interfere in this incident. fighting! "You gave us the battleship blueprints, didn't you just want to trick the Aden Navy?" The black-haired young man said calmly. Unmoved by the beauty, he stretched his body, sat comfortably in the chair behind him, and glanced sharply. Looking out the window to the street, although the light reflected in the quiet room shines on Nalin, she looks like a completely flawless statue. Only four words can describe her beauty and beauty, but the black-haired young man knows that the red The leader of the Dragon Palace's dedicated assassination force is this woman. Is this why birds of a feather flock together? The full-time assassination managers of the three descendants of the Holy City are all women, and Felan's own bodyguards are also women. There was a drizzle falling outside the window for unknown reasons, but it did not affect the flow of people on the street. "This is the drawing of the Holy City. In addition to this gift, we also hope that Your Majesty can just watch with cold eyes." Nalin stretched out her hand , placed a black box on the table in front of the black-haired emperor. The material of the box was very strange. It was engraved with unknown patterns. It looked like a kind of metal, but under the light it looked brighter, as if It is able to absorb all the light and prevent any trace of it from overflowing. You can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary. "Is this it?" A coldness flashed in the eyes of the black-haired young man. In fact, he was sure at the first glance that this box was from the Holy City. thing, the spiritual energy scattered on the box is like a thin layer of mist, "The drawings of the Holy City have been through for hundreds of years, and were partially shattered when the Holy City collapsed. Even I, the Red Dragon Palace, can only use this kind of It can only be preserved in a special box, and this box is also a relic of the Holy City. It is a free gift from us to His Majesty." Nalin quickly said hoarsely in her sweet and seductive voice, "We know that someone in Nanxi is looking for the Empire, hoping to be able to communicate with you. The empire is joining forces to attack our Aden, but I hope that your majesty can handle this matter calmly. Our Red Dragon Palace will give you a heavy gift afterwards. " "Someone in Nanxi did come to the empire, but it was just normal trade. What is the point of handling it calmly? "What do you mean?" The black-haired young man put his hands on the brown wooden table. His eyes seemed not to be interested in the black box. Instead, he looked away from the street far outside the window with an indifferent expression and asked in a deep voice. "Getaiya is the Holy City." The largest transfer station for goods in the empire outside the city, the carriages rushing back and forth never stop. The cruelty of the war has gone far away. Even the broad area outside the city is full of simple wooden houses. These wooden houses look very new. , although the structure is simple, it is painted in mottled colors such as blue, green, red, and yellow. From a distance, it looks like wild flowers all over the mountains and plains, giving people a pleasing feeling, like seeing a flower bed in the mountains. This?They are all houses that originally lived in the mountainous areas of the southern part of the Order. Although they left the southern mountains, they still maintained the romantic style of living in the southern mountains. The Order State once spent great efforts to move the southern population to the Holy Capital Plain in the north, but in the end it forced the southern indigenous residents to rebel. These southern indigenous people would rather be killed by the Order State than move to the Holy Capital Plain in the north. In the northern parishes, the brutality of the Martinites easily accomplished this. Most of the people who stayed in the south were either killed or sold into slaves. The southern indigenous people had to be frightened and migrated north. The final result That is, the total population of the Order State has lost one-half, but the population of the Holy Capital Plain of the Order State has not decreased but increased after the war, from the original population of 1.4 million to 3 million. This formed a An interesting phenomenon is that the Laxiu River that crosses the southern region of the Holy Capital of the Order State is used as the dividing line. On one side are large new towns that have sprouted up, and on the other side are the ruined mountains. Although the Martin Liga people have withdrawn. The territory of the Order Kingdom was recovered, but those southern natives who wanted to return to the south found it difficult to leave, because their wives and children needed to eat, provide supplies, and work, and these could only be achieved in the Order. Only in the northern part of the Tuan Kingdom. With the entry of a large number of imperial chambers of commerce, a large number of commercial workshops have also been established, which just absorbs this huge population of labor force. If these natives return to the south, they will only face ruins. The war has destroyed everything. , swept everything away, and most of them will starve to death before this autumn comes. The black-haired young man has long discovered a secret, which is also the secret why the empire can quickly build a new order on the ruins, that is, war is The best catalyst for the production of industrial workers, although it sounds cruel to say so, is the reality. The booming development of imperial commerce, the employment of countless commercial workshops, and most of them are the destruction of local agricultural production by interest wars, forcing Most farmers have transformed into industrial workers! According to statistics from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire, the current number of industrial workers in the empire is more than 30 million. "I hope that your Majesty can deny this arms transaction with Nagaland State in Southern Asia. As far as we know, Nagaland State is the Representatives of the thirteen-nation alliance have submitted an agreement to open arms trade to the empire. This agreement includes 10,000 sets of imperial infantry armor, 2,000 war horses and 15 imperial thunder gods, which will eventually appear on the battlefield." Na Lin's pretty face hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "The emperor's attitude towards the black box made her unsure. She originally thought that the emperor would agree to meet because he must be determined to get the drawings of the Holy City, but now it seems that this is not the case. The flash of mockery in the emperor's eyes made the chief drawing paper of the Red Dragon Palace feel piercingly confused. Could it be that the previous guess was wrong? The emperor has no interest in the Holy City at all? So why did the emperor agree to this meeting? The situation in front of her made Nalin feel that the cards in her hand seemed meaningless, and her tone softened a lot. Although the Nanxi Continent did not have a unified royal power, it had many kingdoms. It had always been because of the sea corridor of Mars Crescent Bay that Aden Due to control, any Nanshan ship that wants to pass through Mas Crescent Bay must pay heavy taxes, which has always been burdened by the Aden Navy. At this moment, the Aden Navy was defeated miserably in the Battle of Mas Crescent Bay, and Mas Sin The control of Yuewan Bay has changed hands, and the Nansi forces no longer have control. In addition, the main force of Aden's army is not in the country. Several critical states among the Nansi countries are already mobilizing their forces, intending to take the opportunity to take back the Snari area controlled by Aden. , Aden's 30,000 garrison in the Snarli area has entered into intense combat readiness, and the war is about to break out! Without Mas Crescent Bay, the main force of the Aden Army was completely shelved in Zhongbia, thousands of miles away. The conflict between the royal family and the Red Dragon Palace caused by the rise of the royal family in Aden finally broke out. Without military support, the Red Dragon Palace The Dragon Palace successfully forced the Aden royal family to abdicate. From the moment it lost Mars Crescent Bay, the once powerful Aden completely fell. This is the sword of God! The Kingdom of Aden has a vast territory and its power spans three continents. It is the most powerful in history. With an army of one million, even the Eero Empire has been defeated. It is only one step away from being called an empire. It can make Aden fall in one battle. Yes, only the man in front of him, with his clever and ruthless choice of battlefields and fighter planes, made Aden, who was at the height of his power, completely wilt with a single blow, and even more firmly established himself as the number one military god in the mainland. Nalin was even guessing in her heart whether the Red Dragon Palace's initiative to propose a truce was all part of this man's plan. Otherwise, why would the other party's expression be so calm? It didn't look like a cold negotiating opponent at all, but more like waiting. Those who surrendered submitted a letter of surrender. This person is the most powerful person in the sky. Even the prophet Ferran a hundred years ago seems to have no such ability. Sitting in front of such a figure, who dares to say that there is no trace of conscience.The repression of Na Lin is that she is also outstanding, but in front of this person, who dares to claim to be outstanding, her heart can't help but sink secretly. This time, the Red Dragon Palace suddenly succeeded in forcing the royal family of Aden, and suddenly took control of the domestic power in Aden, but It is absolutely impossible to say how firmly the Red Dragon Palace can control it. However, the reputation of the Aden royal family has been weakened due to the series of defeats some time ago, and the military power that the Aden royal family relies on most is now cut off thousands of miles away. Only the Red Dragon Palace can temporarily take over power in the name of religious leaders. However, if the Red Dragon Palace cannot produce convincing results in a short period of time, the Red Dragon Palace's attempt to force the palace will definitely be a disastrous defeat. Although there are clouds of war in Nanxi, , but let the senior officials of the Red Dragon Palace take it into consideration that the Nanxi people have never been united. Although there has been a strong era, it is already in the past. The one who really points to the Gulf of Aden now is the empire! The imperial army is gathering in the southern part of the Gulf of Aden. Countless supplies and weapons are pouring down the southern coastline of the Gulf of Aden along the Elero River. Nalin has been verified at the southern estuary. The last time there was only 20,000 imperial troops, which can only be regarded as a test. Just let Aden's nearly 200,000 troops be defeated. This time the emperor of the empire personally sat in the southern part of H¨¦rault. When the imperial cavalry came out again, it was a time when the country was in ruins. Even in Aden, there was general pessimism. The last time there were 20,000 troops. If you don¡¯t win, how can you fight this time! Everyone knows that the emperor is a military god. The emperor alone can equal an army of 100,000, and even the most powerful Guards Corps of the empire participates in the battle. People in the Gulf of Aden are already panicking, and no one is optimistic about Aden. , even in the prosperous Gulf of Aden area, a large number of Aden nobles' carriages and horses are constantly migrating to the east day and night, hoping to avoid this war catastrophe. Since the Aden royal family is unreliable, it does not matter who comes to power at this moment. If The Red Dragon Palace can withstand the empire's military front, so everyone will support the Red Dragon Palace! If the aristocracy of Aden had not lost confidence, how could the Red Dragon Palace succeed in forcing the palace? In any case, it is the first priority of the Red Dragon Palace to make the empire cease war. Gritting her teeth, Nalin straightened her towering chest and said, "As long as your majesty refuses this transaction, your majesty can impose any conditions." At this moment, Nalin instead She hopes that the black-haired emperor will be as lustful as the rumors say. She believes that her beauty is not inferior to anyone else. If beauty can be achieved, she will not hesitate. "It is not my style to make money without making money. Now that the empire has opened If you want to do business with us, the empire can't refuse it without justifiable reasons." The black-haired emperor picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. He smiled coldly in his heart. Sure enough, the other party was not negotiation material, and the blueprint of the Holy City was what he must get. However, he didn¡¯t want the Red Dragon Palace to know how much he valued the items in the Holy City. Otherwise, the Red Dragon Palace would use this to make the lion¡¯s mouth open in the future. It would not be so easy to lower the price later. What he was worried about was the entire Red Dragon Palace. In fact, judging from the current situation, the interests of the Red Dragon Palace have been invisibly tied to the interests of the empire, but this woman has not realized it yet. The empire does not want the Aden royal family to come back to power, nor does it want the southern states to be involved in this war. Winning in the sea will further affect the empire's commercial monopoly on the sea. Therefore, the empire will not let Nansi win in this battle! The arrogance of the Nanxi people was clearly reflected in the reports sent from the Imperial Navy. They had just seen the disastrous defeat of the Aden navy, and they immediately killed the Aden officials stationed there, and quickly started to fight back against Aden. A person's calculation is easy, but when it comes to the sword, he still hesitates. Before the war started over there, they were already arguing over the distribution of benefits. The lords of the two states even started fighting on their own. , causing more than 3,000 casualties. I have never seen such an idiotic and funny thing! The Nansi people are lax and rude in style, short-sighted, and treachery is commonplace. Treaties negotiated on the same day will be broken on the same day, and they are completely untrustworthy. Navy Minister Dostronkai has a very poor evaluation of the Nansi people, but it is no wonder. After the negotiation between the Imperial Navy Minister and the Nanxi people about the purchase rights of Mars Crescent Bay lasted for a month, even this well-known and polite military minister in the imperial army could not stand the Nanxi people's lax and arrogant style. Leaving the negotiations to his subordinates, he simply went to Central Asia to relax. "Your Majesty, if the war in Nanxi fails again, the Red Dragon Palace will not be able to calm the situation. At that time, it will not be a good thing for the empire." Na Lin Seeing the black-haired emperor's face of determination, he couldn't help but said eagerly, "Oh, what do you mean?" The black-haired young man said with a half-smile, "Your Majesty, don't forget, Aden still has an army of 300,000 in Central Asia. Failure, and the road back to Aden is completely blocked. The 300,000 Aden troops can only open a way out by attacking the empire's area in Central Asia with all their strength." Nalin said in a deep voice with a pale face, "I know that your majesty is not afraid of war. But there is no need to face the 300,000 Aden army who are determined to die. As long as Your MajestyPromise to watch with a cold eye. Regardless of whether this battle is won or not, our Red Dragon Palace will order the troops from the Central and Asian sides to withdraw into the country and hand over the occupied areas to the management of the empire. In this way, Your Majesty can easily obtain the territory of Central and Asian countries without spending a single soldier. Wouldn't it be better to have control? " "If this is the case. . . . . Okay, I'll let them refuse." The black-haired young man's face sank slightly, and he seemed to be hesitant. In fact, he was just acting. The Red Dragon Palace is really not a political person. Religious organizations should just serve the gods properly. Run away What kind of game of nations are you here to play? With just a little explosion, the final trump card was revealed. Being able to come up with such conditions was already a trump card. He was afraid that if he continued to refuse, the Red Dragon Palace would think that it was hopeless to control the situation. Under such circumstances, he chose to step down in advance. When the royal family of Aden is around, it will definitely not be a good thing for the empire. After all, the Red Dragon Palace is just a religious organization. Just facing the mess that is riddled with holes in Aden is enough to be devastated. , and in terms of political skills, he is even more of a rookie. This situation is an excellent opportunity for the imperial influence to intervene in the Gulf of Aden. How could he let it go! "So His Majesty agreed! "Nalin's eyes were bright and frightening, and her pretty face was slightly red with excitement. "This matter related to the life and death of the Red Dragon Palace was solved so easily? Even she couldn't believe it. She had to know who the man sitting in front of her was. Just the reputation of strategizing the world is enough to make any negotiating opponent feel a lot of pressure, but what she saw was so ordinary. The other party was as honest as a dull little apprentice, so much so that she wondered if it was a fake. Yes! Na Lin couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in her heart. Many big figures have substitutes, mainly to face various dangerous scenes. This is not a secret that needs to be concealed. It is normal for the emperor to have seventeen or eight substitutes. "Sorry. I take the liberty to ask, are you really His Majesty?" Nalin stood up with a nervous and red face, and clenched her fingers even more. The black-haired young man smiled at the corner of his mouth, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. "Don't worry. "The conditions have been agreed. I am not a substitute. You can go back." "Your Majesty, this box is a relic of the Holy City. It needs the key of the Red Dragon Palace to open it." Nalin looked decisively at the black box on the table and said coldly. He said, "Treasures like the Holy City Blueprints cannot be simply put in a box. This is the key box of the Holy City. It is extremely strong and can only be opened with a special key. If the opening or opening method is forcibly destroyed, this box It will explode on its own unless His Majesty can prove it. . . . . . Otherwise I won't." But before she finished speaking, she saw the black-haired young man pick up the box on the table and turn his left and right hands casually. The light outside the window fell on his stern face, and his black eyes were as bright as stars. ¡°You mean this thing is going to explode? "The black-haired young man asked, looking interested in the lines on the box and groping along the lines with his fingers. "Yes! Nalin's voice trembled slightly, "Has anyone opened it before?" "The black-haired young man was unmoved, and continued to touch the lines on the box. The suction force from the box was greedily absorbing the spiritual energy in the black-haired young man's hand. "No, since the prophet put it in the box, there has been no one else. It has been opened, but it is impossible to open it except for the secret key, absolutely impossible. . . . . Your Majesty, please stop." Nalin's eyes were full of anxiety. This thing can really explode, and it is very powerful. Similar accidents have not happened in the Red Dragon Palace. Then she saw a silver light in the black box in the hands of the black-haired young man. The threads are connected and spread out into countless silver threads. If the method is wrong, it will spread There was a sound of a buckle being opened, but at this moment, suddenly, a shadow appeared out of thin air on the black box. These silver threads finally formed the outline of a city, and then she saw this silver thread made of The shadow, as the black-haired young man pulls his fingers up and down, becomes larger and smaller at one time. The sharp needles of the dome that are dozens of meters high are undoubtedly indicating the identity of this outline. "This is the Holy City!" "Nalin was already dumbfounded, her eyes blurred and shocked. The Holy City from a hundred years ago is actually in this box? "It turned out to be a base" The black young man looked slightly stunned. The thing that could open the box was naturally spiritual energy, and the key Na Lin still held in her hand was actually a piece of God's Eye. After seeing the Temple of Heaven, Behind the huge base screen below, the projection was no longer enough to shock him. What moved his expression slightly was the voice that sounded in his head, "The first-level construction drawings of Lingcheng Base were found." The keyboard I had been waiting for for six days finally arrived. ,,,, Yunda Express, I remember this name, I would never use this express. . . .
