Chapter 1701 The Fisherman Gets a Profit

No matter which country is preparing for war, all countries are doing it, but the monarchs of each country never talk about it. They use the slogan that only when the world is peaceful can the country be rich and the people strong, to fool the people.

This is a means, a political means.

Therefore, when I heard the old Duke ridiculing this matter in a rather surprised tone, I couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this normal? Monarchs all have ambitions. When they are ambitious, they want to strengthen the country, expand, and plunder land. , and to achieve all of this, the most basic element is the army, so it is not unusual to station troops to prepare for war."

"It's natural to station troops and prepare for war, but the partner Simmons Locke found for cooperation surprised me very much." The old Duke chuckled: "He actually chose a guy who is darker and more sinister than him. If you become an ally, you may be used as a gunman in the future without even knowing it."

I curled my lips, pondered for a moment, and said, "Perhaps he has been used as a gun by Carter Horton."

"Huh?" The old Duke said with a smile: "Tell me, what do you think now?"

"As we discussed before," I said, "I always feel that this mutation was caused by Carter Scott. In order to cover up the truth and divert attention, Carter Horton just agreed to my request. , brought the Knights of the Round Table to the forefront, and after the battle between the two parties, the people who came to destroy me were not Carter Horton's people, but Simmons Locke's army. From that moment on, I had a feeling that this Simmons Locke is afraid that he has fallen into Carter Horton's trap and become a sword that he uses at will. Since the war failed and the three countries demanded compensation, Carter Holden has successfully used Simmons Locke's sword. The anger was transferred to us, putting him and us in an incompatible situation. Combined with Simmons Locke's stubborn and stubborn personality, I am afraid that from now on, whenever there is a dispute or war, Simmons Locke will Carter Horton’s strongest ally.”

After hearing this, the old Duke chuckled and said calmly: "Your analysis is right. Carter Horton is really cunning. Not only did he not lose anything, he also gained a tough ally."

"Yeah, it's a clever plot to gain allies without losing anything."

The old Duke waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "But that doesn't matter. After all, our relationship with York and Seoul has long been on the same level. Even without this incident as an introduction, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along with each other."

The old man is right.

There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only permanent interests.

The reason why the city of Dashai and the city of York and Han are in the same situation is simply because the two countries share the same land, and they compete with each other, and no one is willing to give in.

Although the reason is clear, it is impossible to untie this knot.

After all, we are all monarchs. If you want to occupy more land, so do I.

The king of Airey City is like this, the king of Yorkhan City is like this, and the king of Dashai City is also like this.

Speaking of which, when all three parties are greedy, they should be able to maintain a delicate balance, support each other, and check and balance each other.

But who would have expected that the monarch family of York and Han City is a family with high aspirations and looks down on any other race except the human race.

Whether you are a powerful orc, a dwarf as strong as a barrier, a talented goblin, an elf who is the son of the forest, or an elf who is the proud son of heaven.

As long as he is a foreigner, his family will look down on him.

Because of this, the city of York and Han actually had an ambiguous relationship with the city of Airui, which coexisted on the same continent.

Although the two countries are still in opposition, once it comes to matters related to Dashai City, York and Hancheng will adopt double standards-focusing on fighting against Dashai City and other matters as a supplement.

To this day, this relationship has lasted for nearly a thousand years. Dasai City and York Han City have long been two incompatible countries. Only because of the constraints of the Zephyr Continent Convention, they have always been in a stalemate.

Now, the stalemate that has always been maintained has finally been broken, and this continent may be in trouble again.

I couldn't help but feel worried and said: "I'm afraid this compensation has touched Simmons Locke's bottom line. With his character, I'm afraid he won't be able to swallow this tone. What are your plans for this?"

The old Duke chuckled and said: "In the past, our country, Dashai City, resisted the armies of the two countries, but it is different now. Because of this compensation, Moonlight City and Fort Vicky cannot escape their resentment and want to continue to maintain a stable life. , we can only unite to fight against the enemy. I guess, right now, His Majesty is discussing this matter with the monarchs of the two countries."

I kept the old Duke's words in mind. In the middle of the night, when everyone was resting, I contacted Master Dewey and inquired about the situation.

Master Dewey's answer confirmed the old Duke's suspicion.

As of this time, the two kings of Fort Vicky, the Fairy Queen and Elf Queen of Moonlight City, and the Orc King of Darsay City have been negotiating the current situation for six hours through the call crystal.

Although the conclusion is still far away, what is certain is that the three countries have reached a consensus on jointly fighting against York, Hancheng and Airui City.

After listening to Master Dewey's words, I was silent for a long time, sighed softly, and said, "I always feel that it is because I insist on having my own way that I drag you into the water."

"You are overthinking this, kid." Master Dewey chuckled and said, "We already know about the kidnapping of foreign girls as slaves in Seoul, but we are limited by the Peaceful Continent Convention and have never been able to find a suitable solution. Excuse, and your matter can be the link for us to take revenge on York and Hancheng."

"Uh" I was a little speechless. It turned out that I was just the link being used.

Master Dewey said: "Xiaoyi, don't blame your adoptive father. It's just because your revenge coincides with what I'm planning, and I don't want to waste this opportunity."

"No, foster father," I said, "I don't blame you for worrying too much, I just feel a little surprised."

"That's good." Master Dewey's tone became slightly calmer.

"By the way, foster father," I said, "What do you think of this mutation?"

"Human blood will not mutate due to death," Master Dewey said: "At least the current level of science and technology can determine this."

"That means"

"Skatha and Bone Hell Breath, their bodies have been tampered with."

"No wonder," I said thoughtfully, "otherwise, how could a dead person mutate into a blue-skinned zombie? Skasa was even more exaggerated, turning into a living ice dragon. Although his physical strength seems to be Even worse than a baby dragon, but it’s still a dragon!”
