Chapter 52 Balance Is Paramount

Philindil, who sent people to attack the Great Demon King of Hargros, naturally had their own plans, and this plan was nothing more than profit.

As mentioned before, Philindil and Marilyn are now divided into two parts, the new faction and the old faction of the Temple of Light. Both sides are fighting arduously against each other for their legitimacy. Although it seems that the strength of the two sides is basically the same now, if you study it carefully, you will find that the strength of the two sides is actually hugely different.

Philindil now occupies the temple, the headquarters of the Temple of Light in the past, and has a lot of material resources under his control, which means he has a lot of money and a solid foundation. However, Philindil's qualification to compete for the goddess of light is actually weaker than Marilyn's. The reason why Philindil was able to become the goddess of light was actually entirely because there was a large group of elders in the Temple of Light at that time. These guys are very powerful in the Temple of Light, and together they can even influence the goddess's decision.

After the problems occurred in the Temple of Light, the elders also wanted to gain some benefits from it, such as expanding their scope of power. However, an orthodox and tough goddess would definitely not give them these powers. Therefore, they united to deliberately resist Marilyn, the actual orthodox heir, and pushed out the weaker Philindil. When you think about it, it feels a lot like the battle for the throne in ancient times. The eldest prince is the orthodox heir, and a powerful man is also smart. However, the veterans in the court wanted to retain more power, so they deliberately boycotted the eldest prince, and then put the most cowardly and incompetent prince on the throne. In this way, the court became their own boss. never mind.

The situation in the Temple of Light was the same at the beginning. Those elders thought that Philindil had no foundation, so they thought of making her a goddess. However, although Philindil does have no foundation, she is not stupid. On the contrary, she is a powerful person with abilities above average. After inheriting the throne, she not only used the conflicts within the elders to break up their alliance, but also used her tactics to nibble away at these elders one by one. Although this move is played beautifully, don't forget that these elders themselves are part of the strength of the Temple of Light. Philindil killed them all. But her own strength has also declined. Therefore, although Philindil's power was much stronger than Marilyn's when they first split, it has become a tie now because the power in Philindil's hands was not originally hers and was consumed during the integration process. a lot of.

Compared to Philindil, Marilyn's strength was weak at first, but she went out on her own to set up her own business. And those who can follow her are those who really support her, so the unity is definitely much stronger than that of Philindil. But Marilyn was kicked out in the first place. So it’s almost like leaving home cleansed. I didn't take anything with me. The initial capital for the subsequent development was all raised by the people who followed her, and life was tight.

Because of the historical issue of the split of the Temple of Light, the current situation is that Philindil is short of people and Marilyn is short of money. Because of this desire for profit, Marilyn has been taking advantage of various resources recently, and it seems that she has also started a business recently, based on the reputation of the Temple of Light. Vigorously develop the economy, work hard to make money and develop your own strength. And relatively. Philindil, who was short of people, started poaching people everywhere, let alone heretics. Now, as long as they are not undead, Philindil dares to pull them into his temple. Don't look at the fact that Philindil's people go around fighting under the guise of eradicating the heretics when they have nothing to do. In fact, they are just recruiting strong men. They just hope to increase the number and overall strength of their men as soon as possible.

Based on this situation, it is obvious that Philindil went to find the Great Demon King Hagros and the others. She just hopes to bring this force into her own camp, so that she will have one more bargaining chip against Marilyn. However, compared with the support of our Frost Rose Alliance, although the strength of the Great Demon King Hagrolos is very eye-catching, it is still not enough.

With the support of the Great Demon King Hargros and the others, Philindil may not be able to defeat Marilyn right away. No, I should say definitely not. However, if they offend us, as soon as our support tilts, they will immediately be suppressed by Marilyn's people. You must know that having no money is much better than having no one. As long as you have the ability, you can make money very quickly if you don't have money, but you can't do it without anyone. If you want to train ordinary people into masters, it is a marathon project, and Philindil can't wait at all.

"President Ziri, I'm sorry, it seems we had a misunderstanding before. I didn't know those were your friends." Felindil had to be as humble as possible after determining his priorities. "I'm going to ask them to retreat now. What do you think?"

I nodded and agreed with her decision, which was what I meant. The man next to him didn't have to wait for Philindil to give the order again. He had listened to what he just said and turned around to recall the troops.

Although this matter has been resolved, I can't just slap my butt and walk away. Even if they are affiliated with our Frost Rose Alliance, they are still independent organizations. Besides, even if you open a company and ask others to work for you, you still have to pay them wages. This is equivalent to cutting off people's financial resources. If they take the initiative to give in, it will be regarded as a good thing. Of course, I can't help but express it.

"Are you short of people?"

As soon as Philindil heard what I said, she immediately knew that I wanted to give some compensation, so she immediately nodded and said: "You also know the situation here, everything is there, but this person is really... "

"I also know your difficulties, but the people over there really can't help you. And you should actually thank me for this matter."

"Ah?" Philindil didn't expect me to say such a thing out of the blue, which made her very confused.

I glanced at Philindil, and then asked: "How did you know about the other party's situation?"

"Well, it was said by an adventurer. He said that there are many pagans living there, and our Temple of Light should let God's glory shine into those dark corners."

"Huh? Adventurer?" To be honest, I was also surprised. At first, I always thought that the news about Philindil was leaked from the Dark Temple. Just now, I planned to use this to go to the Dark Temple to sell it to Ditans. Unexpectedly, it was not what I thought.

Philindil knew from my tone that I seemed to know nothing about this matter, so he said: "He is just a very wretched-looking guy. His flattery makes me feel sick, but now that I think about it, he is not here at all. Our Temple of Light. That guy must have a grudge against your friends, so he came to me to inform."

When Philindil said this, I already guessed who did it. Needless to say, I don’t think twice except for Ice Boxing. This guy had monopoly on the information about the magic pastry chef from the beginning. After I took control of Louise away, he started to work against me. This association must have known that it couldn't handle me, so it was looking for a third party to cause trouble for me. But it's a pity that his level is too low and he can't understand the communication side of high-end weapons like ours. Whether it was the Temple of Light he was looking for or the Great Demon King Hagros who was attacked, they were all power groups that he could not mess with, but to me, they were just a small group that was not as powerful as our Frost Rose Alliance.

"I probably know the person you are talking about. That guy must have told you the news in order to take revenge on me. But what you may not know is that they are actually from Ditans."

"What? Are those guys from the Dark Temple?" Philindil was obviously very surprised.

If there was only one Temple of Light before, Philindil knew that the other party was from Ditans. That definitely means killing the other party no matter what. After all, the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness were mortal enemies. What's more, the other party's behavior is actually infiltrating the sphere of influence of the Temple of Light. To put it seriously, this is an invasion, but it is not made public. But, that was before. Now that the Temple of Light is divided into two, this force is a bit complicated.

Think about Japan’s invasion of China during World War II. Why did Chiang Kai-shek hesitate to fight against Japan? Aren't you afraid that Taizu Mao will take advantage of you if you use up all your strength? Philindil and Marilyn are in similar situations now. Do you think they have a good relationship with Ditans? Definitely not good. But if you want them to deal with Ditans now, that's simply impossible. Both sides are holding back their energy and want to deal with each other. At this time, as long as Ditans doesn't take the initiative to provoke them. They will never provoke Ditas, because Ditas is much stronger than them now. If either of them goes to deal with Ditans, then the final goddess of light will definitely be the other one.

When I think about it, I almost stabbed a hornet's nest. Philindil now wanted to tear the adventurer who reported the news to him alive. Unfortunately, he was not French, and he had already run away when the news was delivered. It's a trivial matter for the Protoss to arrest someone within their own country, but going abroad is a big problem. Speaking of which, the system's definition of the Protoss seems to be a bit like the country's army. When a foreign army invades, the home army can come forward to stop it, but the army cannot interfere with local affairs in peacetime. Moreover, if the person you want to arrest goes abroad, the army cannot chase him out, because that would be considered an invasion of another country.

Of course, there are differences between the Protoss and the army. At least the country's army can invade foreign countries, but the Protoss cannot. Even if they want to expand, the Protoss can only use faith to expand, and cannot conquer by force. The only thing that can conquer by force is the external war of the player guild, but the Protoss can help guard the occupied area afterwards.

Seeing Felindil thinking there for a long time, I knew that she must have figured out all the key points. At this time, I said again: "Since you are short of people, I can help you think of a way."

"Do you have any idea?" Philindil is short of people right now, so I said I could give it to her. Of course she was very excited.

I nodded and said: "There are too many and I can't help it. If it's just a small part, I do have the ability."

"It doesn't matter, I'm thirsty for talents right now, and I'll take any one I can." Philindil is not picky about food.

I nodded and said, "You know that our Frost Rose Alliance just had a divine war against the Olympus Protoss, right?"

Philindil nodded. "We originally proposed that you help us deal with the Olympus Protoss, but we didn't expect you to do it so thoroughly! By the way, when you talk about this now, are you planning to give me the people from the Olympus Protoss? "

I smiled and shook my head, then nodded again. Looking at Philindil's confused look, I explained: "The people are from the Olympus Protoss, but they are not the people you think."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"How should I put it? These people are indeed the genuine Olympus Protoss. Some of their strengths are strong and some are weak, but they are all relatively marginalized people in the Olympus Protoss. These guys chose to follow us in the first place. They left the Olympus Protoss just because they couldn't stand the oppression of Zeus, but they actually didn't want to join the Chaos and Order Protoss of our Frost Rose Alliance."

"You mean to give these people to me?"

I nodded and said: "Although these people didn't say anything, our Frost Rose Alliance emphasizes a high degree of subjective initiative, and we don't want to force people to come in. The Frost Rose Alliance has not reached that point yet. Most of these people are interested in the guild gods. There is a feeling of contempt, and I feel as if my entire godhood has fallen when I stay in the Chaos and Order Protoss. Your Temple of Light is a genuine protoss after all, and you have had dealings with the Olympus Protoss before, and they all know yours. The strength is not weak. As long as we let them come over, they will no longer feel that they have fallen."

When Philindil heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "This is a good idea. Give them all to me. I am short of people, so I don't mind having too many people."

As soon as I heard this, I muttered in my heart: "You don't mind the crowd, but I have to dare to give it. It's okay if you are an honest and responsible person. After being pushed to the stage, you turn around and manipulate yourself." The gang of senators took care of him, how cruel is this?" It can be said that Philindil is a careerist. Once the strength in his hands exceeds a certain threshold, this girl will definitely become a more powerful person than Hitler. Fight all over Europe and have ambitions around the world. Philindil can definitely do it.

Precisely because Philindil is not a law-abiding person, people can give. But the speed must be controlled.

In fact, my desire to compensate Philindil was not a temporary move. But Rose and the others had mentioned this matter to me before, but they didn't find the time to implement it before, so now it's just a matter of convenience.

In fact, before the battle against the Olympus Protoss began, Rose and the others had already considered enhancing the strength of the Temple of Light.

If the Frost Rose Alliance wants to be the world's police, it must master the balance like the Yankees. The forces in a region cannot be completely intimate. If you are all intimate, how can we get along? Of course, it's not okay to be in a mess, as that would only lead to destruction and no production. We can't get anything good out of it. So, get benefits from a certain area. First of all, there must be a generally stable environment here so that society can develop. but. On the basis of stability, local conflicts cannot stop. If the world is unified, we can't expect anything else. We must create confrontation and tension so that we can have an excuse to intervene. The old Americans did this in the past, and our guild is just using it now, and it is not a special invention. But I have to say that this trick is really easy to use, and it can be said that it works every time.

Originally, the situation among the European gods was stable and in line with the interests. However, we saw benefits from the Olympus Protoss, so we extracted some of these benefits. The result was that the Olympus Protoss was greatly weakened.

Without the restraint of the Olympus Protoss, the forces in Western Europe began to become somewhat complicated. The Dark Temple is no longer a threat. They may be able to stay calm in a short period of time, but over time, the Light Temple will definitely be in trouble.

Jehovah, that crybaby guy, is not a good man. The Olympus Protoss has a joint defense agreement with our guild. Of course, the Holy See of Jehovah doesn’t know about this yet, but as long as they invade the Olympus Protoss, we will Send troops, they will definitely know when the time comes.

If you can't chew it from the east, then go to the west. The Temple of Darkness is too hard, and if you can't bite it well, your teeth will easily break. The Temple of Light is now split into two, which is like holding up a sign that says "I am a soft persimmon." Therefore, whether it is the Dark Temple or the Holy See, they will eventually target the Light Temple.

I have said before that regional stability and local conflicts are the key to our prosperity. Therefore, the Temple of Light cannot be eliminated, otherwise it will not be regional stability but regional melee. Therefore, the strength of the Temple of Light must be increased, and at least it must be able to withstand the offensive of the Temple of Darkness and the Holy See, so as to return to the basic state of regional stability. However, strengthening the Temple of Light is actually increasing the Temple of Light, and this speed must be mastered. Just inject some blood to make the Temple of Light stronger and block the two powerful enemies. If you accidentally add chicken blood, that would be a bad thing. Once the strength of the Light Temple exceeds that of the Dark Temple and the Holy See, they will not dare to touch the Light Temple. So the European gods will become like the nuclear powers, everyone has nuclear weapons. No one dared to touch anyone, they could only scare each other. In this case, local conflicts will no longer exist, and no one will rashly start a fight because no benefits can be gained. However, if they don’t fight, how can we mess around?

Therefore, enhancing the strength of the Temple of Light was our plan when we attacked the Olympus Protoss. It's just that it's started now. However, the amount of blood transfusion must be controlled well, so that Philindil and Marilyn cannot be too strong. Another point is that the balance between Philindil and Marilyn must also be controlled. Although this time it is a gift to Philindir, I have already planned it. Most of the staff will be given to Philindil, but when things are done here, he will immediately take a detour to see Marilyn. At least a few people will be given to her, and some funds will be provided to her. In this way, the strength between them can be leveled again, and the balance cannot be tipped anyway. It's easier for us to control if both sides don't touch the ground, right?

My plans have been made for a long time. It's just that I don't have a specific plan. I'm just talking to Felindil about my intention. I have to go back to Essinger and discuss the matter with Rose and the others. But Philindil knows that people like me can't lie. If I didn't want to give it, I would have just not said it before. Now that I have said it, I will definitely give it to her. Therefore, even if I have to go back, we will discuss it first. She also thanked her very happily.

After briefly talking to Philindil about the general situation, I left here. When I returned to the Great Demon King Hagros and his friends, Louise was the first to rush up and wanted to see how the situation was. So I told them about it. Of course, I didn’t tell them the specifics, I just told them that the other party was from Philindil. And I have obtained Philindil's promise to give up attacking here, so they are completely safe.

After the matter here was settled, the Great Demon King Hagrolos wanted to stay with me for a meal to celebrate, but now I was anxious to deal with the situation in Europe, so I left the valley and flew to Tianyu City with Louise.

Tianyu City itself is not small in area, but because the city structure is a three-fork shape like the Mercedes-Benz logo, it doesn't feel that big in the city. However, Louise was very curious about Tianyu City, touching here and there to see the posture of a curious baby. It's right to think about it. Louise has never left the Fairy Tale Forest since she can remember, so she is very curious about things in the outside world. Besides, Tianyu City uses completely Chinese-style architecture, with cornices, carved beams and painted buildings. The whole city is antique and has the feel of a Jiangnan water town. This kind of architectural style may not be noticed by anyone in China, but it is definitely an eye-catching design in Europe. It is said that foreign monks can chant sutras and people like different things. We built Chinese-style buildings in Europe and European-style buildings in China. This idea is absolutely correct. Anyway, it seems that the effect is very good now. Foreigners like Tianyu City's design style, and Chinese players also like Essinger's design style very much.

"Wow, is this the city of your guild? It's so big!" Louise shouted excitedly while walking on the street.

I corrected me seriously: "It's not you, it's us. You are now also a member of the Frost Rose Alliance. Remember, this is our city."

"Yeah, I didn't get used to it for a while." Louise said and suddenly ran towards Yichu shop again, and then shouted to buy some herbs, saying that she didn't have enough materials.

I directly grabbed her and said: "Our guild has its own supply channel. The medicines here are sold outside, and the level is relatively low. You are joining the guild this time, not a cooperative relationship, so the materials for making medicines are The guild will provide it. Just make an order for what you need, and someone will prepare it for you, ensuring that they are all of the highest quality."

"Wow, free materials?"

"certainly."

"Hahaha, I'm so happy. In the past, I had to spend money to do experiments. Although Sister Hagros and the others often gave me some magic coins, many medicinal materials were still not collected. As a result, the taste of the candies I made was inconsistent. bad."

"Don't worry, this kind of problem won't happen again in the future. Now follow me and don't get separated. I will take you to the headquarters of our guild."

"Headquarters? You mean that Essinger? Isn't it here?"

"This is Tianyu City, the forward base of our guild in Europe, and Essinger is in China!"

"Where is China?" Louise's words knocked me down completely. There's no way, this person doesn't know anything. If you explain the location of China to her, pairing will involve more geographical issues, so I decided not to explain it to her for the time being, and I'd better go back and find someone patient to explain it to her first. Let’s talk about popularizing basic knowledge! ! ! !
