Chapter 1809 Stabbing Sword

“If a lot of people die is considered a gray industry, then isn’t war the biggest gray industry?”

Princess Analita said calmly and surprisingly.

The others and I couldn't help but look at each other, we were right, so right, but...

"That's true, but so what?" Cagalli took a small mouthful of rice and said slowly: "War is the strongest way to make huge profits. Look at the results of the recent invasion of York and Han City. The annual comprehensive reserve economy increased by one-tenth."

Princess Analita looked at Cagalli with a smile and said, "What you said is a bit revealing about your father. Aren't you afraid that he will spank you?"

Cagalli gave Princess Analita a disdainful look and made no reply.

Are you kidding me? It's too late for the orc king to pet her. Will he beat her? Let's first ask the Queen Mother if she agrees.

Princess Aurora, who had been in onlooker mode, swallowed the food in her mouth and whispered softly: "War is not entirely a gray industry. Anti-aggression war is a just act."

At this point, she seemed to think there was something wrong with her words, and suddenly closed her mouth and glanced at me nervously.

I smiled at her and nodded, telling her to go ahead.

Princess Aurora then whispered again: "The reason why the troops came to York and Seoul was because York and Seoul sent troops first, but the compensation later was a bit exaggerated. My father said that Xiao Yi's move directly increased the cost of the entire castle. One-twentieth of the annual mineral reserves. He also said that Xiao Yi is a hero of Fort Vicky and the person who brings happiness to Fort Vicky."

I was a little embarrassed to be praised like this by Princess Aurora.

"But..." Princess Aurora lowered her face slightly, and while secretly observing my expression with her big bright eyes, she said, "We are happy, but the people of York and Han City will probably suffer."

"Well, I agree with what Princess Aurora said." Yula said with deep understanding: "I have always felt that the huge compensation Xiao Yi asked for is indeed a bit excessive. You are not asking for compensation from the royal family of York and Han City, but It’s asking for money from the poor people.”

Barbara, who was one person away from her, put down the fish bones in her hand, twirled her cat ears, said hello, "Why is this?"

Yura glanced at Barbara, twitched the corner of his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Those royal nobles will not live a tight life just to pay compensation. They will only use the authority in their hands to make greater efforts. They squeezed innocent civilians, took part of the money extracted from them and counted it as compensation, and the rest was divided and squandered by them."

"Well" Barbara said with a righteous face, waving her little fists, "They are so abominable, Xiaoyi, you are too gentle, you should teach them a lesson more fiercely, for example. For example..."

"Spank their butts!" Princess Analetta suggested from the side.

"Yes, spank them!" Barbara said with a fierce look.

"Maybe spanking is really a good choice," Lillea said with a twinkling starry eye, "At least if you do this, only the nobles and royal family will hate Xiao Yi, not the common people."

"Why do they hate brother Xiaoyi?" Lily pouted and asked in confusion, and then she turned her eyes to Loki.

Loki was listening with great interest when he suddenly noticed that Lily turned her gaze towards him and quickly buried her face in the bowl, pretending to concentrate on eating.

All of this was clearly seen by all of us. Yura grinned and said, "Don't embarrass your Loki. This is a political method and he doesn't understand it."

Lily nodded a little disappointedly, and Loki subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Yula explained: "Placing blame on others is the most common method used by most royal nobles. This can win people's hearts and shirk responsibility. Xiaoyi cheated York Hancheng hard before. In order not to If the interests of the royal family and nobles are harmed, Simmons, Locke, and the others will not only increase the overall taxes in York and Han City, but will also throw the blame on Xiao Yi, saying that if he does not press harder, domestic taxes will also increase. If we don’t improve so much, then the common people and poor people in York Han City will naturally transfer their hatred to Xiao Yi.”

After saying that, she looked at Bai Yunying who was filling her mouth with rice in a daze, and asked: "Little sleepy boy, do you think what I said is right?"

"Hmm." Bai Yunying nodded vaguely.

"Xiaoyi" Emily put down her empty rice bowl, looked at me with burning eyes, and said, "Have you exercised in the past half month?"

"Of course," I said confidently, "Not only did I train, but I also participated in several battles, many versus one, and I was the one."

Emily nodded and said: "After dinner later, let's spar with me. We haven't sparred for a few days, so I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

I took a look at the sky outside the window. It was getting a little dark. I was planning to postpone it until tomorrow morning, but in the end I couldn't resist Emily's sincere and urgent gaze, so I had to nod and say: "Okay."

After the meal, I took Xi Lan's demon knife and entered the backyard.

Emily looked at Tai Dao a little surprised and said, "The new knife you bought?"

"No." I raised the sword in my hand, looked at the moonlight, and said, "It was given by someone else."

She nodded, her eyes a little lost, and after a while, she asked again: "Male or female?"

"An old man," I said, "My ancestor is a certain legendary hero."

She nodded again. This time, she was no longer in a trance, but looked at me with stern eyes, exuding a strong fighting spirit.

"Don't use the power of degeneration," I reminded: "The backyard can't bear it."

"I know."

A voice as light as catkins floated into my ears, and then Emily turned into a shadow and walked straight towards me.

Looking at the series of neat afterimages left behind her, I couldn't help but secretly feel alarmed: She has become stronger again.

Spotting the point where she was stabbing with her sword, I swayed and dodged to the side. At the same time, I drew my sword out of its sheath and greeted her with a set of Xilan sword techniques.

Xilan's knife technique and my own knife technique have something in common, that is, they don't follow the path of normal knife techniques. The knife goes off the edge and is hard to guard against.

The tip of the tachi did not aim at Emily's vitals immediately, but instead aimed at the sword body and slashed hard.

Emily let out a sigh, turned her sword, and avoided the thunderbolt of the knife. Then she drew her sword again, stabbing me in the lower abdomen at an even faster speed.

I held the sword in front of me and blocked the tip of the sword very accurately. The blade of Xi Lan's demon sword, which was slightly thicker than paper and the narrow blade, was not broken by Emily's powerful thrust!

This made me refresh my view on Xi Lan's demon sword.

This can indeed be regarded as a magic weapon, at least much stronger than ordinary enchanted weapons - I have heard that Emily's stabbing sword once stabbed the enchanted long sword in a certain Zephyr Championship. The sword shocked everyone present.
