Chapter 19 Purpose
"Okay, let her down!" Dikao waved his hand, "If the hostage dies, what else can I use to negotiate with Casger?"
"What qualifications do they have to negotiate with you?" Alisa let go of her hand and threw the princess down, "You can directly hit the enemy and trap them in the city. We will definitely..."
"Okay, if this method really works, the human empire will not stand for so many years." Dikao twisted his neck, "Anyway, this hostage is very important. You must keep her intact with me!"
"As for order!" Alisa and Carita lowered their heads and agreed.
"Okay, Your Highness Princess!" Dikao smiled at the princess who rubbed her neck and gasped, "You can call me the Demon King, you can call me Dikao, tell me your name."
"My name is...Asilia."
"Well, Acelia," said Dikao. "Alisa will arrange your room for you. Your activities with me will not be restricted. If you think you can walk back to Casger alone, you can try it. Others, you can do whatever you want."
"..." Acelia didn't speak, and she herself knew that she was now subject to others and was not qualified to negotiate conditions.
"Okay, then take a break early today, good night!" Dikao waved his hand, "Alisa, you heard what I said."
"As for order!" Alisa nodded and agreed, then turned her head to look at Alicia, "Come with me."
Acelia was obviously a little afraid of her about what had just happened, but thinking that Dikao's orders were issued, she shouldn't do anything to herself anymore.
…………
Dikao, who returned to the room, also began to think. Now Selena's plan is very clear. In order to allow herself to dominate the world as soon as possible, she must take advantage of this period of time to improve her strength.
I have to say that finding an ambitious girlfriend is a good thing, but it’s a little tired.
But since you agree, you always have to do what you should do.
Dikao stood up and opened the map, intending to see how his territory should be expanded better.
There are a total of five human empires around his territory. Except for Casg, three of the remaining four cannot cause trouble for themselves.
Because the brave men of these three empires were killed eight years ago, it also takes time to cultivate new brave men.
The rest is only the Blos Empire that needs to be paid attention to, but according to Dikao's own calculations, it is unlikely to cause trouble.
Because of the Blos Empire, the Kroger Mountains and the turf of Dikao are just squeezed together to form a triangular camp.
Dikao usually did not have a criminal record of actively attacking the human empire, so the Blos Empire did not have much military force at the border.
In order to prevent the beast tide that once a year on average, most of the military forces of the Blos Empire were close to the Kroger Mountains, including the brave men of their country.
As for the other three empires, Dikao didn't care much. The empire without the protection of the brave cannot pose too much threat to itself.
Then the next thing to do is very simple. The first thing is to find a way to sell the mined ore. After you have money, you can hire technicians to smelite, and then make products and continue selling...
However, the people below must be controlled to not hurt others at will. There must be a clear and standardized system to confirm the safety of commercial personnel.
Secondly, people are needed. Although there are necromancers here, strictly speaking, necromancers are no longer considered complete humans because of their practice of black magic. Necromancers are creatures between demons and humans, especially advanced necromancers.
So first of all, people must be able to do it on your territory, not just humans, but all races must have it, so as to form an effective economic ecological chain.
Dikao thought about writing and drawing on the paper. When he realized that, the table was full of words and drawings, and the horizon began to turn white.
"Damn, time passes so quickly!" Dikao shook his head and went to bed.
………………………………………
On the other hand, Selena also got up early, looked at the bandages wrapped around her shoulders, and moved her arms casually, but it still hurt a little.
While having breakfast, maybe when I saw my daughter being injured, Burton didn't say a word, but just went out after eating expressionlessly.
The elder brother Palos and his mother Layla asked about the reason and whether the injury was serious. Selena shook her head and said it was okay.
Now that my shoulder is injured and I can't practice swordsmanship, I went to the Alchemy Guild to chat with Nitia after breakfast.
In Casg, Nitia and Selena are each other's only friends because they can't tell their secrets to outsiders.
Perhaps because of this, two people can only show their true side in front of each other.
Of course, Selena now has one more Dikao.
"How do you think the emperor is feeling today?" Netiya asked nibbling a biscuit.
"It's definitely not that good." Selena sat beside the bed and looked at the scenery outside. "The princess of a country was kidnapped in person, and it was undoubtedly slapping him in the face."
"My father said that the emperor had the intention of borrowing people from him yesterday, and he should have wanted to attack the Demon King." Niteya said.
"Whatever he wants to fight, no matter if he is me or someone else leads the team, he will definitely lose a bad game." Selena picked up the water cup, "If nothing unexpected happens..."
"It shouldn't be a fight in a short time," Nitia thought for a while, "You are injured at home now, and there is no other person in the empire who can compete with the brave."
"The premise is that he does not ask the church for support from the advanced knights and magicians." Selena said.
"He wouldn't do that unless he had to." Niteya shook her head gently, "The same thing, as the emperor, he wouldn't even if his daughter died, because once he asked for help from the church, the price he lost was much greater than losing a daughter."
"Then what do you think I should do next?" Selena asked.
"Recover your injuries on the surface and practice not to let go." Niteya said, "Just eat, drink and have fun in secret, and enjoy the holidays."
"Yes, it's just a matter of taking advantage of this time to do something that I didn't have time before," Selena twisted her neck and made a "gabagaba" sound, "I've had a lot of time recently."
"Be careful about the rhythm, don't go too far," Nitia looked up at her, "Once you are discovered, you will be doomed."
"I know."
"You don't know!" said Nitia. "Since you became Dikao's fiancée, you have become much more arrogant and not as able to endure as before."
"Don't teach me a lesson, okay?" Selena was a little impatient. "I just want to speed up..."
"You know this is too urgent!" Niteya leaned on the back of the chair. "What we are doing is not as simple as subverting an empire. We are enemies of all mankind!"
"I'm not like you, I didn't think of this matter as great as I think!" Selena still looked at the scenery outside the window, "I just wanted to achieve my original goal."
"Let go of greatness or not, our purpose is the same!" Niteya stared into her eyes and said, "That's why we become friends, aren't we?"
"..." Selena was silent for a moment, "I know, I will pay attention."
…………
Palace Hall.
Abigail sat on the throne, looked at the ministers below, and finally spoke after a long silence.
"Now the brave are injured, can no one lead the troops to attack the Demon King on her behalf?"
No one speaks, everyone knows that the emperor is in a bad mood, and no one will choose to stand out at this time.
"Andrew!" Abigail began to call out, "Tell me what you think."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there's really no way!" Andrew stood up and said, "Unless there are people who can accept the blessings of the gods, no one can fight against the devil!"
"Can't Netiya?" Abigail asked.
"Your Majesty, Miss Lanters is an alchemist!" Lyon responded from the scene, "Alchemists are good at making magic scrolls, potions, and various props, but they are not suitable for going to the battlefield."
"Then you come and think of a solution," Abigail's voice revealed helplessness. "A princess in a country has been kidnapped. Can we finally surrender indifferently? Today he can kidnap the princess, and tomorrow he can kidnap me?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has the blessing of the gods. If he touches you within the empire, he will be..."
"Then I will never be able to leave the empire in my entire life?" Abigail asked, "Don't Casg have to establish diplomatic relations with other countries?"
"Your Majesty, you only need to wait patiently for a while," Lyon's tone was slow, and echoes came from the empty hall, "When the brave men recovered from their wounds."
“…”
Abigail now wants to curse, is there no way to deal with the Demon King without the brave Casger?
But in the end he didn't say it, because he knew that it was the case, at least for now, there was no brave man, and they really had no hope of fighting against the Demon King.
"It's all gone!" Abigail waved his hand, "I'll discuss it later..."
After the ministers left, Abigail looked at the empty hall on the throne alone, and sat alone for a long time...
Finally, it seemed as if he had thought of something, and waved his hand to call the maid, "Go to the Alchemy Guild and ask Nitia to come and see me!"
…………
After receiving the message, Nitia was not surprised and smiled at Selena who was staring out the window in a daze, "What do you think is his purpose for meeting me?"
"It's probably for that scroll..." Selena said, "After all, that's the only thing that can threaten the Demon King."
"It depends on who is using it and how it is used." Nitia stood up and smiled, "No one can destroy the Demon King with this thing."
"Hmph..." Selena also grinned, "At least his people are not good!"
