Chapter 2337 Dead End
The feeling of power is wonderful.
No matter old or young, no matter male or female, no one can escape from the quagmire.
Smart people will use roundabout tactics to not only make people hate others, but also make others surrender, such as Master Dewey.
As a member of the royal family, this old man did not use his bloodline to suppress others. Instead, he established an economic empire that spanned the entire Zephyr Continent and looked after all living beings.
Very few people know that he is an orthodox royal family, and even fewer people know that he voluntarily gave up the throne of the Goblin King and abdicated it to his younger brother, and then traveled to various countries as a commoner, visiting the mountains and rivers while doing business to make money.
Because of this, countless civilians in the Hefeng Continent regard him as a civilian idol and treat him like a god. His actions are also regarded as miracles by many businessmen.
Stupid people will only think of stupid tricks to coerce the emperor to control the princes, such as the old Duke after his ambition is exposed.
In fact, I do not mean to discredit this method. If the world is in chaos and the monarch is weak, and there is an urgent need for wise people to guide the people and resolve conflicts, then such a powerful minister will be needed to hold the emperor to the foundation of the country.
But is the Beastman King a foolish king?
Obviously not!
Now that you are holding the emperor hostage, are you not afraid of those who are loyal to the emperor, or people with ulterior motives who will stage a scandal for you?
He is probably not afraid. After all, with the military power in his hands and his aloof status, small fish and shrimps cannot make a splash in front of him, and the big nobles dare not easily rub his tiger's beard. As for those huge organizations hidden in the dark, Naturally, they do not want to get involved in political disputes, let alone be affected by them, which may lead to the loss of troops and generals, and only loss of strength.
At this point, although the old Duke has not yet revealed his intention to replace the royal family, he has also revealed his intention to use powerful ministers to eclipse the imperial power.
After chatting with me for a few more words, the Orc King unnaturally brought the topic to the point where he hoped that I would take the initiative to give in and send Kailan back to Dashai City.
The Orc King spoke very reluctantly, and my reply tone was very calm and straightforward: "Kailan did not make any mistakes, and besides, she is still my fiancée. It is impossible for me to hand over my wife to a group of people I don't trust. Every man has dignity, and I am no exception. Of course, some men may choose to abandon their wives and children in order to satisfy their desires, but I will not. I will use everything to protect my fiancée, my woman, and my wife. My family will even fight to the death with anyone who wants to destroy my family."
Maybe my words happened to scratch the orc king's itch, and his tone suddenly became relaxed, but the topic of conversation was still dry and unnatural.
After hanging up the call, I returned home, called Cagalli to me, and said to her: "If during this period, your father, the queen and the queen ask you to return to Dasay City, I advise you to refuse."
"Why?" Cagalli was a little confused. Even though she was so smart, she never imagined that the old Duke, who had always respected and loved him, would become a criminal and powerful minister who held the emperor hostage to order the princes.
I thought for a moment and said: "You may not believe this, but I still want to say that the old Duke you respect has probably deprived your father, queen and queen of their personal freedom, and any letters from them , phone calls, may all come from the old Duke’s instructions.”
Cagalli's beautiful eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "This is impossible! The old Duke is a veteran who has served three generations of monarchs. His family status is at the pinnacle in Dashai City, and he also controls his father, queen, and queen. Is it necessary?”
"That's true. But the old Duke is only a nobleman after all."
"It's impossible, I don't believe it." Cagalli shook her head repeatedly. She couldn't believe what I said, but she didn't know how to refute it.
The day after I reminded Cagalli, Dashai City contacted Cagalli through the call crystal, hoping that she could return to the country. It was said that the orc king and the orc queen missed her.
After learning the news, Cagalli immediately requested to speak directly with her father, queen and queen. Soon, the voices of the orc king and the orc queen rang out from the microphone, looking a little excited, helpless, and haggard.
Cagalli felt distressed and cried on the spot. She choked and hung up the call. Then she threw herself into my arms and cried sadly. She told me while crying that the voices of her father, queen and mother sounded very sad. They must have been affected by A great grievance.
Looking at Cagalli crying in my arms, the anger in my heart burned so high. At the same time, I felt deeply ashamed. As a man, I watched my own woman cry into tears but had nothing to do. It was simply shameful!
He slapped himself hard several times in the face and cursed himself for being useless.
Maybe because of his anger, he was a little too strong. Not only was his face swollen, but there was also blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
After slapping me a few times and cursing myself a few times, the unknown fire was finally extinguished. I wiped away the blood stains and waited for the swelling to subside a bit. Thinking that I wouldn't be discovered, I left the bathroom, but I was still careful. The hairy Phoenix noticed that she gently stroked my cheek with her white hands, her little face full of worry.
In the afternoon of the same day, Cagalli met the two queens with me. After I expressed my hope that Moonlight City would send troops to teach Dashai City a lesson, the Fairy Queen directly rejected my suggestion, but she did not scold me. He told us calmly that Moonlight City would not send troops, let alone interfere with the political affairs of other countries. This was a civil strife in Dashai City. Unless the Orc King personally sent a letter, imploring Moonlight City to send troops to assist, there would be no possibility of sending troops.
Then, she sighed helplessly and said: "This is written in the Zephyr Continent Convention. Even if I don't take the convention seriously, I still have to do enough superficial work, otherwise I cannot stand on the side of justice."
It seemed that there was no hope for Moonlight City, so I had no choice but to contact Master Dewey.
Opposite the microphone, Master Dewey listened to my story, remained silent for a moment, and expressed the same opinion as the Fairy Queen, that is, sending troops to other countries and interfering in political affairs is against the Japanese Continent Convention, although no one takes the convention too seriously anymore. Son, but after all, the convention was signed by the ancestors of each family. As long as each family's status in their own country remains, the convention will continue to be valid.
After listening to Master Dewey's words, I felt a little desperate. After all, behind me, two of the three forces that might finally suppress the chaos in Dashai City have rejected my suggestion. The remaining York City and Han City will probably also compete with Moonlight City. , give the same reply as Vicky Castle.
With desperate thoughts, I contacted Simmons Locke. After some conversation, I was not disappointed. Simmons Locke also refused to interfere in the internal affairs of Dasha City.
This killed all my hope.
My own strength is not enough, and the forces I belong to are unable to confront the country, but the forces behind me have rejected my suggestions one after another. What should I do?
Is it possible to choose to compromise?
Go to hell, rather than choose to compromise, it is better to fight to the end!
Then accumulate strength first, and when you have enough strength, you can launch a 'Qingjun side'?
But Cajiali is full of sadness and has not smiled for two days in a row. I am worried that if this continues, she will collapse.
Looking at the blue sky above my head, at the white clouds, and at the charming sunshine, for the first time, I felt deeply hesitant.
