    Since becoming the Lord of Lovell, Thor has gone through many hardships to reach his current position. The various dangers during this period are beyond the imagination of outsiders.  Therefore, Thor has long developed a tough nerve. This person looks carefree and incompetent on the outside, but in fact he is far stronger than many people.  "Okay, I'm very happy." Faced with Thor's teasing, Leliana still looked calm and indifferent.  Although she agreed very casually, you could not feel a trace of debauchery from her words.  "Then, Lord Thor, can you let me talk to Lord Raymond?" Under Leliana's pure gaze without a trace of impurity, Thor felt like he had kicked an iron plate.  He put down Leliana's hand and said with a dry smile: "Of course, you guys talk, you guys talk, hahaha" Leliana asked for her by name, obviously not to express her admiration.  Raymond scratched his head, looked around, and then pointed to the fire: "It's right here." Leliana smiled slightly and sat down on the stone beside the bonfire gracefully, while Raymond sat cross-legged directly on her  opposite.  She did not ask to talk in private, indicating that the content of the conversation was not something that others could hear, so Thor also sat not far away, and at the same time feasted his eyes on the graceful curves of Leliana's body by the firelight.  Chipcrest and Bastet spread out intentionally or unintentionally, forming a defensive line against Gru. Once Gru made any move, the three of them could react immediately.  In response to this, Leliana looked calm, as if she had never seen him before.  Gru, standing in the shadow, remained motionless from beginning to end, as if he had turned into a sculpture.  After glancing at Gru, Raymond coughed dryly and said, "So, Gru is one of your people?" Leliana did not hide it, and admitted generously: "Yes, for some reasons, Gru is helping  Our sect is doing things. This matter is a secret, but in order to show honesty, I don¡¯t intend to hide it from you.¡± Raymond suddenly understood, and Raymond¡¯s past actions had a reasonable explanation.  It seems that the Sidonis sect has contributed a lot behind the scenes in disrupting the situation on the Veronica continent.  As if she could see what he was thinking, Leliana said: "Our sect and Prince Leonard had cooperated in the early days. Killing King Gaspard Fagana and Mr. Reiner had nothing to do with personal enmity, everything was for the benefit of the sect.  "If you can, please express my most sincere apology to Princess Sofia and Miss Lorna." Raymond couldn't help but smile bitterly. These words were really "official".  However, he was not qualified to take charge of her. In order to force Leonard back, he asked Chip to kill Leonard's father.  The current Veronica continent is like a chaotic chessboard, with all parties trying their best to swallow each other's pieces and strengthen themselves.  As Leliana said, all actions have nothing to do with personal hatred, but are only for one's own interests.  The Sidonian sect is like this, he is like this, and Leonard is like this too.  The only good thing now is that Lorna did not follow her, otherwise there would have been a fight when we met tonight.  Thinking of this, Raymond couldn't help but wonder: "How did you find us?" Leliana said: "Our sect has its own intelligence network. Two days ago, we discovered that your group left Ferelden City and went to a nearby village.  In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I did not follow you, but waited on the only way back to the city. " "Since you have something to see Raymond, why don't you go directly to Ferelden instead of running to this wilderness.  A place in the wild?" Saul couldn't help but ask.  Leliana lowered her head: "Because our sect had a hostile relationship with Headington, and with Gru, the hatred between the two sides has not yet been resolved. If Gru and I appear in Ferelden City, I'm afraid there will be a fight immediately.  There is no room for redemption at that time." "That's why I have the courage to wait for you here. I admire your magnanimity very much for Sir Raymond's ability to ignore the past grudges and agree to my request."  Fight, even if Raymond wants to fall out again, he will be embarrassed.  It can be seen that this girl with a pure and flawless appearance actually has considerable strategy and courage.  But this also shows that it is definitely not simple for her to go to such great lengths to see Raymond.  So, Raymond decided to get down to the topic: "So, what do you want to see me for?" Leliana stood up and said to Raymond very formally: "I am here on behalf of the sect this time, hoping to meet Lord Raymond.  , that is, cooperation with Headington. " "What?" Raymond was shocked.  The Sidonian sect hopes to cooperate with Headington?  This was something he could never have imagined.  After the original battle with the Ravit Federation, coupled with Gru's reasons, the two sides have developed a deep hatred, which is by no means something that can be resolved by just resolving it.The Sidonian sect knew this, but still made a request for cooperation. It seemed that the other party was very confident and was not afraid of not agreeing.  He asked: "About what?" Leliana said slowly: "Work together to eliminate the Necromancer." "Hmm" Raymond slowly narrowed his eyes, feeling reassured.  As expected, it was for the common enemy of both parties, the Necromancer.  In the last war, in addition to fighting Headington, the Sidonian sect was also plotted by the Necromancer. In particular, their fleet was destroyed by sea dragons and suffered heavy casualties, which directly led to their defeat and withdrawal.  It seems that even after all this time, they have not forgotten this grudge.  However, according to Freddy¡¯s information, the Sidonis sect is currently fighting fiercely with the military of the Croat Empire, and they have too much time to take care of themselves. How can they still have the energy to provoke the Necromancer?  If it is purely for revenge, it is obviously impossible.  After all, the Sidonian sect has to take great risks by getting involved in this war. If it wins, it will get revenge at most, but it will not get any benefits. It will only make Headington easier; if it loses, it is very likely to be  The Croat military took advantage of the situation and could never get over it.  You must know that the Sidonis sect is not just a simple religion, but has a strong military and expansion character. Raymond never believes that their leader would make such a stupid decision.     What?  Don't tell me that this is a religious dispute. The Sidonian sect cares about the common people, so it decided to eliminate those blasphemous undead souls at all costs.  That is the most unlikely reason.  Thinking of this, Raymond decided to get straight to the point and express his doubts directly: "I'm sorry, I don't see that this cooperation will do you any good. So, I can't believe you either." An ordinary person would be exhausted fighting the Necromancer  When a man suddenly comes over and says he wants to help you fight against the enemy, I'm afraid you don't know how happy you are.  However, Leliana was surprised that Raymond could be so calm, and she couldn't help but show admiration in her eyes.  She didn¡¯t answer, but lowered her head and was thinking about something.  Raymond didn't say anything, and folded his hands with a leisurely expression, waiting for Leliana's reaction.  The campfire was burning brightly, the crackling wood made crackling sounds from time to time, and the entire camp fell into silence.  Raymond and Leliana said nothing, and even Thor looked up at the night sky, wondering what he was thinking.  The atmosphere was a bit dull, as if even the passage of time had slowed down.  After a while, Leliana seemed to have made a decision, and she raised her head.  ***************************************************  **************** Taking a gentle breath, Leliana said slowly: "Although the Pope strictly prohibits revealing the ultimate goal of our sect, I think that in order to gain your trust,  It is necessary to explain to you the whole story. Therefore, the following is only my personal decision." Then, Leliana began: "Lord Raymond must also know that our sect has always been at odds with the royal family of the Croat Empire.  We have been fighting for control of the kingdom. " "Since the failure of the attack on the Lavit Federation, our strength has been greatly reduced. The emperor took the opportunity to stand up against us. Now the sect is in a very difficult situation. " Raymond can't help but feel even more difficult.  It's strange. It is said that the more this happens, the more the Sidonian sect should fight with all its strength. Why do they have to get involved in this war and provoke another enemy?  Leliana did not explain directly, but asked instead: "Do you know why our sect attacked the Lavit Federation in the first place?" Raymond originally wanted to say that it was for the Croat Empire to expand its territory.  But judging from Leliana's words just now, it seemed that was not the case, so he shook his head honestly.  Leliana said: "That's because the ultimate goal of our sect is to establish our own sect kingdom and no longer rely on others." These words made Raymond straighten up, with a look of shock on his face.  Even Thor, who was not far away, woke up from his meditation and looked at Leliana in surprise.  The Sidonian sect wants to establish its own country!  ?  Although the aggression shown by the Sidonis sect made them look more like a military group, their ambitions were still beyond Raymond's expectation.  Now he finally knows why the Sidonis sect cooperated with Leonard to disrupt the situation on the Veronica continent and attacked the Lavit Federation at all costs.  It turns out it¡¯s all for such a grand goal.  "It's just that the founding of a country is very difficult, and Raymond understands this very well.  Headington just grew up a little bit, even just showing off his reading ability, but he has gone through many hardships and dangers, and he is still trying to survive in the cracks.  If the Sidonian sect wants to establish a country, if nothing else, the Croat Empire will be the first to jump.Come to object.  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "Do you think the Croat Empire will agree?" Leliana nodded: "Of course we understand, so this is the top secret of the sect. If the matter is exposed, we will no longer have any secrets in the country.  Any space for survival." Raymond sighed: "So, you still want the land of the Lavit Federation?" Leliana said: "Yes, in fact, we have concealed this plan from Crowe.  Everyone, let them think that we attacked Lavit to help the empire expand its territory, in order to declare power after occupying Lavit, but failed to withdraw. " "Now the Necromancer controls the Lavit Federation, and the country of Lavit.  There is chaos and panic, and it is no longer the same as before. Therefore, the Pope believes that this is the best time to reoccupy Lavit. " "As long as we can drive away the Necromancer, we can take advantage of the chaos to take over Lavit.  Land and resources, so as to establish our theocracy. In addition, the domestic situation is very critical, so we decided to make a desperate move to find the last hope in the land of Lavit." "Well, I understand." Raymond touched.  Chin said.  Leliana¡¯s words should be true, because there is no point in deceiving yourself on this matter.  And revealing such a secret shows Leliana's sincerity and determination.  For Raymond, whether the Sidonis sect wants to establish a country has nothing to do with him, and there is no conflict of interest with Headington. The problem is the Clot Empire.  This is probably the premise for the Sidonis sect to believe that the two sides can cooperate with each other.  Although there is still some hatred between Headington and the other party, as Leliana said, with such a huge goal, it can be completely put aside.  So, Raymond said: "Okay, what are your conditions?" Leliana said: "We will cooperate to eliminate the Necromancer. Our sect can guarantee that it will only occupy the existing land of the Lavit Federation and will not invade you.  "And you promised not to betray the alliance afterwards, such as being tempted by the Croat Empire and attack us from behind, so as to give us a safe rear, because after the founding of the country, we need to deal with it with all our strength.  The attack of the Croat Empire sounds fair, especially when the coalition forces of Headington and Ferelden are currently struggling with how to deal with the undead army.  With the help of the Sidonian sect, the chances of winning would be much greater.  Seeing that Raymond didn't speak, Leliana thought that he was still hesitating, so she added: "Lord Raymond, you are a smart man. You should understand that this cooperation is not only beneficial to us, but also of great benefit to Headington."  "I know that you intend to help Princess Sofia regain her kingdom, so you are at odds with the Kingdom of Dilk. Although the Kingdom of Dirk is in civil strife, once Leonard takes the throne this is definitely inevitable, and he will definitely do his best to prevent you from regaining the kingdom.  Spard, until Headington is eliminated. " "Furthermore, the Croat Empire has also coveted Gaspard for a long time. It is only because of the internal struggle between the military and us that it has been unable to do so. However, once we lose power, the military will be unable to do so.  With the royal family back in power, the Crote Empire will be restored to that terrible war machine, and Gaspard will not be able to escape the fate of being annexed by then. " "So, assisting our sect in establishing the country is tantamount to giving help to the Crote Empire.  With this yoke, you no longer have to worry about the threat from the north, so you can fully cope with Leonard's attack. With this reason, do you think it is enough? "I have to say that Leliana is an excellent lobbyist.  The remarks were clear and coherent, analyzing the benefits of cooperation to Headington from an overall perspective.  In fact, Headington is currently in a lot of difficulties. He has both immediate worries and long-term worries. He has never been at peace for a moment.  The immediate concern is the threat of the undead army, and the long-term concern is naturally the Kingdom of Dirk.  It is not difficult to help Sofia regain her country. Gaspard is now distracted and Duke Charles is a waste. It will be easy to regain the country.  The real threat is the ensuing attack from the Kingdom of Dirk, so Raymond needs to end the war with the Necromancer as soon as possible and transfer all his troops to that side.  Not to mention that when fighting Leonard, he would no longer be able to withstand the threat from the Croat Empire.  The cooperation with the Sidonius sect solved these two big troubles in one fell swoop, and Raymond couldn't help but be moved.  No, it should be said that Raymond has no room to refuse at all!  ***************************************************  **************** From Raymond¡¯s expression, Leliana already knew that she had succeeded.  She confidently stretched out her hand to Raymond: "Lord Raymond, what do you think?" Raymond couldn't help but smile bitterly, can I still say no?  Then he also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Leliana: "IYou can agree.  However, I still need to get Sophia's opinion.  " Cooperating with the Sidonis sect means temporarily turning enemies into friends with Gru. Gru was the murderer of Sofia and Lorna's fathers, and was the direct trigger of Gaspard's civil strife. Therefore,  Raymond needs to take their feelings into consideration. Hearing this, Leliana smiled slightly: "I believe that Princess Sophia will put the overall situation first, especially if you come forward.  " There was something in her words, how could Raymond not hear it? He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It seemed that the rumors of his closeness to Sophia were probably known to the entire continent. At this time, Thor coughed: "  Ahem, sorry.  Although this matter has nothing to do with me, I would like to ask Miss Leliana to tell me, if your sect is really as critical as you said, why should you deal with the attack of the Crote Empire after occupying the Lavit Federation?  Not to mention, you have to face the rebels within Lavitt.  " "You know, once you fail, the Croat Empire may be angry with Headington because Raymond helped you. Then aren't we asking for trouble?  " Thor heard the conversation between Leliana and Raymond just now. At this time, he couldn't help but interrupt, just to remind Raymond not to be blinded by the beautiful prospects Leliana described, but also to see the truth behind it.  Danger. After all, he is his son. In the past, Raymond would have regarded this as a normal reminder.  , the meaning is different, it is the care from his father, which makes Raymond, who has not had father's love since childhood, feel warm in his heart. Therefore, he said to Saul very seriously: "Mr. Saul, thank you.  " "Ahhaha, no, no, just don't blame me for talking too much.  " Thor also seemed to sense that there was something special in Raymond's words. He was stunned for a moment and quickly covered it up. This little abnormality between the two was immediately caught by the keen Leliana. However, she didn't know it.  Naturally, she didn¡¯t take the whole story to heart. She said calmly: ¡°Mr. Saul¡¯s question is very good.  I can¡¯t say more about the specifics, but our sect is deeply rooted in Croat, so we naturally have our own ways to delay the military and royal family¡¯s response to this matter, thus gaining enough time.  " "Moreover, after occupying the Lavit Federation, a large number of loyal believers will migrate with us, which can quickly quell the opposition within Lavit.  So, are you relieved?  " Sol shrugged coolly, and then gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!  " Basically all doubts have been dispelled, so Raymond began to ask specific questions: "How does your sect plan to deal with the Necromancer?  " Leliana asked first: "Did you know that the Necromancer secretly built a fleet?  " Raymond nodded: "I know.  They have eliminated the pirates and controlled the sea dragons. Now there is no force on the sea that can compete with them.  " Somewhat surprised by the accuracy of Raymond's information, Leliana said: "This is what I want to say.  It is not difficult to deal with the undead army on land. Our sect has many priests. After working with you, we can form a huge advantage over the undead.  But the trouble is the opponent's fleet and sea dragon.  " "You also know that our fleet has been destroyed by sea dragons, so we cannot fight them at sea.  But if that fleet is not eliminated, even if the land battle is successful, it will be difficult to guarantee the continuation of victory. The undead army can use the maneuverability of the sea to regain its advantage.  " Raymond secretly thought that this woman was also good at strategy. In fact, he was also worried about this matter. He said: "I understand.  In order to destroy the Necromancer, their fleet must be destroyed, especially the sea dragon.  " Leliana said: "You think the same as me.  In fact, not long ago, I tried to send Gru to kill the sea dragon, but the battle in the sea was extremely unfavorable to him, so it failed.  This also made us fully realize that we would not be able to successfully deal with the Necromancer alone, so we made up our mind to seek cooperation.  " "However, if Gru can and your subordinates" At this point, she looked at Thor: "If Mr. Kress joins forces, it is possible to kill it, then the fleet will not be difficult to deal with.  "I didn't expect that she would make such a request. Not only Raymond and Sol were surprised, but Kress, who was on guard near the camp, couldn't help but turn his head. Gru was as silent as ever, as if he had known about Lei for a long time.  Liana¡¯s plan: ¡°Join forces to deal with Hai Long?  "Raymond glanced at Thor, who touched his chin. "Both of them have seen the power of the sea dragon. It can be said that it is almost invincible in the sea. Even from AilebeiNa Na learned how to deal with the sea dragon, but how to remove the Hades crystal on its head was still a big problem, and they also had a headache about it.  But if Kress can cooperate with Gru, there will be a great possibility of success.  Leliana's proposal is almost the only way to solve this matter.  She is really powerful, because Raymond found that every proposal Leliana said was irresistible.  It was obvious that she had been thoroughly prepared before coming. It was hard to believe that this impeccable behavior could come from this beautiful girl who was full of religious holiness.  (To be continued.)
