Chapter 425 The Promise of Sending Troops and Vassalage (1/2)

Not long after Fang Chang lived up to expectations and helped the alliance obtain a huge investment from the company.

Chu Guang, who took the Heart of Steel to Luoye City to inspect the work, finally met the envoy from the Honey Badger Kingdom.

obviously.

They were wandering in the flames of war and did not know that the Heart of Steel had been captured by the Alliance. Their understanding of the Alliance was still a few months ago.

Therefore, when they saw the majestic airship appearing in the sky, the guards were so panicked that they almost made a joke again.

But after seeing the airship, Summer finally got a vague answer to some of his confusion.

This airship was once the vehicle of General McClung.

There were rumors that the king of the Falcon Kingdom betrothed a member of the royal family to the general of the legion.

I just didn’t expect that the royal family member turned out to be the king’s princess...

The airship slowly dropped in altitude.

Chu Guang briefly asked Maban about the mission on the communication channel, and then readily invited the princes and princesses from afar to board his airship.

Including Princess Teresa of the Falcon Kingdom, Chu Guang also invited her up.

Two weeks have passed since she was put to work in a refugee camp.

He was a little curious about how the princess's transformation was going...

…

The bridge of the airship.

Summer, who had just taken the elevator onto the airship, was still a little uncomfortable. Perhaps he had never been to such a high place before, and his face turned slightly pale.

But after all, he was a person who had seen the world. This slightly immature young man still bowed slightly and bowed calmly.

"Hello, Mr. Dear Administrator, I am Summer Honey Badger, the acting king of the Honey Badger Kingdom. Next to me is Avni Honey Badger, the youngest daughter of the late king and my biological sister."

"Hello, Mr. Manager, you can call me Avni, or Nini." The little girl with slightly curly hair on the side also saluted and said in a clear and sweet voice.

When Chu Guang heard the word honey badger, he couldn't help but think of Brother Flathead's emoticon.

However, the two people in front of them both looked frail, and they didn't look like the kind of creature that was "either fighting or on the way to fight".

"Chu Guang, the manager of the alliance."

After introducing himself briefly and concisely, Chu Guang signaled Theresa that there was no need to be polite, and then looked at the little prince and princess in front of him with interest.

Although the age of the two people cannot be seen, it seems that they are not very old.

It is really not easy to travel through the entire war zone and run from Oasis No. 3 to here.

Just when he was about to say something, Avni suddenly blinked and spoke crisply.

"You are completely different from the manager in the painting."

"Painting?" Chu Guang raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Yeah!" Avni nodded, holding a picture album in her arms, "There are pictures about you in it."

When Summer saw the picture album, he immediately looked embarrassed and wanted to stop it.

However, Avni had already handed over the album in her hand and held up her skirt in a court salute.

"This picture album was bought from the market. I hope you don't blame us."

"Haha, how could it be?"

Chu Guang smiled heartily and motioned to Guard Captain Lu Bei to bring him the album.

Someone actually drew himself into a caricature?

interesting.

Chu Guang opened the picture album and wanted to see what the desert residents imagined him to be like.

However, as soon as he turned to the first page, his nose was almost turned off by the distorted style of painting.

Gan!

Which painter did this?

Paint me so ugly!

Although he did expect that the information would be distorted due to the distance traveled, he did not expect to directly give him a facelift.

By the way, when had he ever grown such a long beard?

And the power armor doesn’t have a helmet? Who would take off the helmet to fight?

What the hell are there 4 sons?

Chu Guang's first reaction was that some player must have started the rumor.

Immediately afterwards, the first suspect was the mosquito, and the second suspect was the tail.

But aside from the style of the painting, the content is quite interesting and has a "superhero" feel to it.

Just as Chu Guang tried to accept the outrageous painting style and continued to flip through it with interest, Summer nervously glanced at the sister next to him and communicated silently with his eyes and lip movements.

‘Are you crazy? Why did you give him that picture album? ’

'Calm down, brother, you are too nervous. Think about it carefully, he will always find out from others, why not take the initiative to clarify the misunderstanding. ’

Looking at the soft eyes, Summer took a deep breath and calmed down.

He admitted that the visual impact that the airship brought to him was too strong, and it did make him a little nervous.

'Okay...but I was careless and didn't consider that the intelligence deviation would be so big. The manager of the alliance is actually so young. Even if he has an heir, he may not have been born for a long time...'

'It doesn't matter,' Avni blinked and said with lip movements, 'I won't mind no matter what arrangement you make. ’

Summer looked at his sister in surprise.

There was no doubt in that look that she was ready to sacrifice herself.

He slowly closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and couldn't bear to look away.

Letting the manager's son marry Avni is the best choice.

If the two are of the same age, he will only be in his forties or fifties when their children reach adulthood. Even if he abdicates the throne, he can still be a regent prince and retain the power in the hands of the Honey Badger family.

By then, the aging managers will be in their twilight years, and the alliance will enter a chaotic period of power transfer, and will inevitably have no time to take into account the status of vassals.

Whether the alliance eventually falls apart or transitions smoothly, the honey badger royal family can take the initiative to advance or retreat.

However, what Summer didn't expect was that this adult was so young...

Whether it is marrying Avni to the administrator of the alliance or to his perhaps just-born son, it is definitely not a good idea.

An ambitious, energetic leader who is in his prime, even if he lives longer than him, he has no confidence that he can be this guy's opponent.

A person who can withstand the impact of the refugee flow in the chaos, unite the refugees who were frightened by the plunderers, and even lead them back to fight back...

This kind of person's methods are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface! Behind that father-like smile, there must be a ruthlessness and determination invisible to ordinary people.

He even couldn't help but began to suspect that his little thoughts might have been seen through long ago.

That's why the managers invited him to this airship, and the purpose was to show him the alliance's powerful military might, and to tell him that those little tricks were useless.

Is this an ultimatum?

what to do?

Thoughts were racing through Summer's mind, trying to stay calm and thinking about how to break the situation.

At this moment, the alliance manager finally finished flipping through the picture album in his hand and handed it to the guard captain beside him with a smile.

"The pictures in this album are really outrageous. I didn't even know I had four sons."

Summer nodded apologetically.

"It was our negligence to fail to clarify the rumors... After returning to the Oasis, I will issue an order to remove these albums from the market."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"That's not necessary, just let them draw it. If a new work comes out, remember to send me a copy."

Chu Guang nodded to Lu Bei and motioned for him to return the album to Princess Avni.

Then, Chu Guang looked at the handsome prince and said in a joking tone.

"You've also discovered that I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. I can't introduce your sister to someone who doesn't exist. And even if I have a child, I'm afraid I won't arrange a partner for him. He should learn to pursue it on his own. girl."

Summer was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the manager meant.

In other words, I didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Is this a hint to himself that the Alliance does not need a vassal of a non-existent kingdom?

Avni glanced at her brother and sighed softly in her heart, knowing that he had probably got into trouble again.

His second brother has been smart since he was a child and is far more thoughtful than his peers. It is probably because of this that his father passed the throne to him.

However, thinking too much is both his advantage and his disadvantage.

The person in front of him was not the powerful ministers in the palace, nor the kings of other kingdoms, but the leader who had just defeated the elite of the legion on the frontal battlefield.

When facing ants, elephants will not show off their muscles, let alone hint anything.

Its very existence speaks for itself.

If the lord wanted something, he didn't have to hint to them.

Or just say it.

Or reach for it.

In order to buy her brother some time to think, and to prevent the meeting from becoming cold, she blinked and took over the conversation from him.

"But as your son, shouldn't he think more about the alliance?"

This question is quite interesting.

Although Chu Guang doesn't have many memories of his parents, he only remembers his grandfather who raised him up, but he has thought about how he will educate his children after becoming a father.

Looking at the innocent Avni, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Yes, the manager's son should do this. If I had one, I would ask him to do it, but he can do it in other ways."

"for example?"

"For example, becoming a scientist, a teacher, a soldier, or an engineer... Whether he goes to a research institute, hospital, school, factory, construction site, farmland or the military, he can always find what he likes in so many professions. And it’s just what others need.”

A hint of surprise or confusion appeared on Avni's face.

"Is this enough?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"That's enough. The alliance in front of you is made up of these people. As a father, I think it's enough that he can live a meaningful life and not waste his time. As for anything else, it depends on himself."

Avni was silent for a while, maybe thinking of her childhood, and sighed softly.

"Then you must be a good father."

Chu Guang laughed.

"you flatter me."

Avni continued to ask curiously.

"Then you have a wife?"

"I haven't considered it yet, maybe after this battle is over."

Chu Guang made a joke.

He knew what the subordinates next to him were thinking.

Including old Luka who is not here, including Lu Bei next to him who has not yet grown all his hair, everyone is eager for him to quickly find someone to carry on the family lineage and find a little master for the alliance.

But precisely because they still hold such thoughts, this matter is inappropriate.

The alliance is an alliance for everyone. It is not just a slogan. They have been sinking for two centuries and must realize that what they need is never a savior.

They themselves are.

As a young man who comes from a civilized society and has received nine years of compulsory education, Chu Guang has never thought about being an emperor, although he has often played Sigma with his players.

It may be a bit idealistic to say this, but after all, he and everyone built the house bit by bit, so he still has some feelings for it.

He just hopes that he can live a peaceful life in his later years. It is enough that his house does not become a dilapidated house that can fall down if others kick it.

This place carries the emotions of too many people, and he sees everything that happens here.

Avni nodded thoughtfully.

She couldn't tell what those eyes were thinking about, but the blueprint he painted in abstract language was indeed very promising.

Although this is not the teaching of the Spirit of the Sand Sea.

But ancient advice told her that elephants don't lie to ants.

If he really thinks so, he shouldn't make it difficult for the people living on that land.

The Alliance is made up of everyone who lives there.

Just when Summer, who had been thinking hard, finally came up with an idea and planned to take over the leadership of the topic, something unexpected happened.

The little princess of the Honey Badger Kingdom suddenly lifted up her skirt and knelt on one knee.

"Can I do that?"

Expressions of surprise, surprise, confusion, and surprise appeared on different faces.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly on fire...

…

That should be considered a proposal, right?

Anyway, the laws of the Alliance only stipulate the age of marriage, and do not stipulate who must propose to whom.

If possible, Lu Bei really hopes that the manager can agree.

It doesn’t matter who it is.

It doesn't matter if you are a foreigner.

Even if he - well, unfortunately he is a man, there is no point in worrying.

Unfortunately, the manager did not accept the proposal of the exotic princess.

However, the prince of the Honey Badger Kingdom still got the promise he wanted.

"...I can't reveal the battle plan to you, but the Alliance will send troops to attack Legion and his servants."

"Both the residents of Oasis No. 3 and Oasis No. 2 will be finally liberated. We will not force them to give up their beliefs, but we will fulfill our obligations as a refuge, open schools there, and teach them the laws of science. , teach them to cultivate farmland, and even the desert spirits are not allowed to interfere.”

Summer said quickly.

"The honey badger royal family will cooperate with your work."

Chu Guang nodded.

He is not selfish, and any help comes at a price. Paying attention to the interests of his own people is the basis of unity, but he will choose a relatively mild method to collect rewards.

In the long run, education is the best way to eliminate ignorance.

When Luoxia Province has the foundation for reform, the people there will naturally follow the trend of history.

As for where the honey badger royal family plans to go at that time, that is their own business.

But it's too early to say this now.

When that day comes, maybe they themselves will ask to join the alliance.

After all, it's not just the residents of the desert who need to go to school, but also the royal family.

The thoughts that players bring from that world will have some impact on them.

After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Avni with a disappointed expression.

"If you really yearn for the world I described, just walk around and see more in the alliance's cities these days. I will arrange a guide for you."

He would not narcissistically think that this little girl fell in love with him at first sight, so he had no shame at all.

What she said in that situation had no reference meaning, whether it was what her brother taught her or whether it was her own decision.

If it was to save her home that was burned by the war, then she should use other methods.

After listening to what Chu Guang said, Avni shook her head gently, looked at him and said seriously.

"I don't need a guide. If possible, may I be allowed to follow you? I want to be your student."

student?

Chu Guang smiled, always feeling that the word was a bit nostalgic.

After all, he was sent here without any explanation just a few years after graduation.

"It's a pity that I don't teach, and I don't have time to teach you anything. But before going back to the desert, if you want to find a job to kill time, you can help me organize the books that I haven't had time to classify."

"There are many interesting books there, from a distant and prosperous era, which may give you some inspiration for the work you want to do in the future."

He had recovered a lot of books from the Yong family before and piled them all in the warehouse of Dawn City.

Currently, the Hong Kong Merchants Union is in charge of sorting it out, but there are not many manpower available.

As the fusion reactors are ignited and corporate aid equipment continues to arrive, the Alliance is full of vacancies, especially those with the ability to read and write.

Avni nodded meekly.

"I will complete the tasks assigned by you."

Chu Guang nodded approvingly and gave her an encouraging look.

Maybe his plan will go more smoothly than he imagined.

After all, only two hundred years have passed since the Era of Prosperity, so it is not too late.
