Chapter 705: Revenge Is Just an Excuse for Greed and Plunder

Hardy naturally didn't know about Alusha's confusion.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

If it weren't for Ryan, Alusha would have been killed by Hardy long ago, and she wouldn't have lived to this day, so she wouldn't have been confused.

Hardy was getting up from the bed.

Last night, the elemental lady Anna came to see him.

Mrs. Anna thought she was alone, but as soon as she sat on the bed, she found that three women suddenly appeared in Hardy's shadow.

A succubus and two snake women.

She was a little embarrassed and was about to leave, but was dragged back by Sophie.

Then the five of them exchanged skills on how to fight in close combat.

Hardy was almost defeated, but fortunately, the blue dragon bloodline played an important role at the critical moment and maintained the man's face.

The next day, Hardy went to the court meeting with his waist pressed.

He hadn't felt weak for a long time, and this long-awaited experience came.

Hardy arrived earlier. There were only a few lords in the council hall, and Queen Sissi was not there.

Hardy's appearance naturally attracted the attention of the lords.

Among them was an acquaintance of Hardy, Lord Virginia.

"Long time no see." Hardy took the initiative to step forward and greeted with a smile: "Lord, you are here to join in the fun?"

Virginia was still fat. He smiled and said: "It's rare to have a business that is sure to make money. Of course I have to participate."

"Sure to make money? Lord, are you so confident about this war?"

"Because you are participating." Virginia patted Hardy's shoulder: "I will also join the expedition this time. How much meat I can get depends on you."

Virginia was excited when she spoke.

The other lords looked at Virginia with envy.

They also wanted to get involved with Hardy, but Hardy was an outlier among the lords. He didn't like to interact with other lords. He was a more "introverted" type.

People with this kind of personality don't like to socialize. If you rashly go up to talk, you will only make others unhappy.

"I don't have much confidence myself." Hardy spread his hands helplessly.

Because Lodo is a country of gems and spices, it is actually very rich.

But... Hardy is entrusted by the gods, he has to consider the overall situation, so he doesn't care much about the matter of "plundering".

"It's okay, I'll just stay with you when the time comes." Virginia looked at her body and said with some emotion: "I'm old now, and my body is not as good as before. At that time, I held a spear and stabbed dozens of people to death without breathing. Now I just sleep with a maid and have to sleep until the next day."

Hardy laughed. The other party could say such dirty words to him, which was essentially a manifestation of closeness to him.

"By the way, speaking of sleeping with women..." Virginia approached Hardy again and whispered: "I heard that the elves have a good relationship with you."

"It's okay." Hardy nodded. He had already vaguely guessed what the Virginia lord was going to say.

"I heard that the secret medicine of the elves is very effective, but it is too expensive." Virginia whispered: "Can you help me get a few copies of the most special secret medicine at a low price?"

"No problem." Hardy smiled and said: "When I return to Louisian County, I will ask the secret envoy to help you deliver the medicine."

"Thank you." Virginia patted Hardy's shoulder gratefully.

The two chatted for a while, and more and more lords and officials came to the council hall.

Not long after, Queen Sissi also came.

She sat on the throne, glanced at Hardy obscurely, then looked around and said: "It seems that all the lords should be here, and those who are not here probably don't plan to participate in this expedition."

As the queen's voice sounded, the council hall became quiet.

"Everyone should know the details. The experience of Princess Margaret Spencer, a member of the Cardo royal family, is deeply sympathetic." Queen Sissi's face was filled with grief and indignation: "Especially as a woman, I feel deeply chilled by such things. What is the difference between the actions of the Inrodo royal family and barbarians?"

No one spoke.

Most people could not empathize. For them, a princess' death was a death, and it had nothing to do with them.

But they still looked excited, for a simple reason, this matter could bring them great benefits.

"The Cardo envoy has arrived here. He hopes that we can lend a hand and conquer the Inrodo Kingdom with them."

There was a young man wearing a Cardo military uniform next to them, bowing to them to show respect.

"Because of this war, after the victory, we will divide the occupied land in half, but we have the right of first choice." Queen Sissi said with a smile: "And... the war reparations, 40% and 60%, we have 60%."

The parliament hall suddenly became noisy, and everyone talked excitedly.

Virginia leaned over and said, "Queen Sissi is becoming more and more like a king."

"It should be said that she is becoming more and more like a politician."

It is indeed amazing that they can negotiate a deal with the Kingdom of Cardo to this extent.

"The other issue is the issue of sending troops." Queen Sige smiled and said, "France will send 40,000 troops, and Cardo will send 60,000 troops. Each of us will be responsible for its own logistics. Do you have any opinions?"

Of course not.

Queen Sissi saw that no one opposed her, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "It's still the old rules. If there are soldiers, they will send soldiers, and if there are no soldiers, they will send food. The benefits that can be obtained will be determined by ability and materials."

Everyone still had no objection.

This set of rules has been in effect for hundreds of years, and every lord agrees with it.

"Then..." Queen Sissi looked at the beautiful boy mixed in the crowd: "Sir Hardy, you can't sit out this expedition."

Everyone looked at Hardy.

They all hoped that Hardy could participate in the expedition, even if he got more benefits.

After all, everyone knew that Hardy was not only the strongest military force among all the lords, but also the most capable fighter among all the lords.

With his participation, the hope of victory soared directly.

"As ordered." Hardy bowed slightly to show his loyalty to the beautiful queen.

No one found it strange. After all, Hardy was indeed a member of the Jeanne family, and it was reasonable for him to be loyal to the Jeanne family.

"Then next, let's discuss the details of the expedition." Queen Sissi made a gesture of invitation.

Then he leaned back slightly and let the courtiers talk.

The heated discussion lasted for several hours and ended only when it was almost evening.

There was no way... Benefits had to be fought for.

War could bring greater benefits. Sometimes, even a little concession on the map would be a huge loss.

However, after a few hours of fighting, they finally came to a conclusion.

Queen Sissi looked at the submitted forms and nodded with satisfaction: "Then we will implement this plan. Thank you for your hard work. The meeting is adjourned... Sir Hadi, please stay. I need your answer for important matters."

Everyone looked at Hadi with envy.

They had heard that Prince Abelon had been placed under house arrest because of his rebellious thoughts.

Now that Hadi stayed... it was probably a romantic affair.

Queen Sissi was so beautiful that any normal man would have some thoughts when seeing her.

It was just a pity that it was not their turn.

After everyone left, several maids closed the door.

Then they left in a hurry. There were only two people in the parliament hall. (End of this chapter)
