Chapter 621 The New Order of the Continent
The state-level dinner with the fourth prince of the Empire, the fourth prince of the Empire, Midi of the Falcon Group, the Blue Gold Marquis, the Black Feather Marquis of the Demon World, and other groups as distinguished guests, ended successfully in an extremely pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.
With the end of the dinner attended by many important imperial officials and noble lords this time, coupled with the "retirement" of the second prince Philip and the "retirement" of the sword emperor Yuren, the war that lasted for more than a year between the Delos Empire and the Kingdom of Belmar finally came to an end.
The fourth prince Reinhardt, with the support of Midie, ascended the throne for granted and became the new emperor of the empire.
In Belmar, the Iron Blood Duke no longer stayed behind the scenes, but came back to the stage to start presiding over big and small affairs.
Now, the energetic appearance of this great duke has also made many people who are worried about his physical condition calm down.
In addition, since the demon Viscount Pofi was directly used as a scapegoat by the two marquises, a huge intelligence network he had worked hard to set up in the entire Arad continent in the past ten years fell directly into the hands of Midi.
After careful interrogation and sorting, Midie suddenly discovered that the many enemies he had faced before were actually closely related to this demon viscount.
For example, at the earliest, when Midi and Fina were tested, the "Blood Blade Thieves" that came to assassinate were part of the huge intelligence network under the Demon Viscount.
During the civil war between Belmar and Duke, the group of "disguisers" who took the opportunity to occupy the capital were even the direct subordinates of the demon viscount.
It can even be said that most of the demonic essences in the bodies of the "pretenders" were implanted by Bofie.
Not only that, in addition to these organizations that are eyeing Belmar and constantly infiltrating, there are also various foreshadowings laid by Pofi in other countries on the Arad continent.
It can be said that this demon viscount has stretched his tentacles into every corner in the past ten years.
When I learned about this, Midi, who originally wanted to kill Bofie with one blow, felt a little sorry.
After all, what Midi felt most angry was not the invasion of the empire, but the harsh tyranny of the people after occupying part of Belmar's territory.
As a ruler, you should look like a ruler, rather than exploiting the people.
This is the most taboo thing that Midie is.
And this just happened to have nothing to do with Pofi.
After all, he was just inciting war and trying to open a demonic passage. As for the specific situation of the war, the demonic viscount was not very interested at all.
As long as the "Sword Emperor" Yulun can provide more resources, no matter what the current territory of the empire and Belmar's territory are, in the end, aren't they all from the demons?
That's how Bofi thought.
Of course, this extremely beautiful idea has been shattered directly by Midi and it has been shattered into pieces.
However, even Midi, a genius commander, had to sigh after learning about what Bofi had done over the past decade.
"Either it's death or it's the contract of master and servant, you can consider it yourself."
Midi finally gave Pofe such a choice.
Three kinds of demon contracts, slave contracts, master-servant contracts, and follower contracts.
Midi would not consider the slave contract at all, because this contract would directly brainwash the object of the contract.
Once the demon is brainwashed, he will lose his sense of self and become a complete puppet, neither growing nor having his own ideas.
If I simply want a guard who can fight, Midie has it at hand, so I have no interest in this kind of puppet at all.
Therefore, he will only consider the two forms of "master-servant contract" and "accompaniment contract".
However, after all, the devil Viscount Pofi is the subordinate of the second apostle "Tear Eyes" Held. Even if he forces him to cut off contact with the second apostle, Midi cannot fail to leave any tricks to him.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to sign a loose "sentence contract" with Agares.
If you want to sign a contract with Rafi, there is only the kind of "master-servant contract" that is forced to be obeyed by the contract demon.
Once this contract is signed, although Rafi will not be brainwashed into a puppet and can have his own thoughts, his every move, and even the most important demon soul, will be controlled by Midi.
As long as Midi has a thought, even if he is thousands of miles apart, he can directly kill Rafi.
"I'm willing to sign a master-servant contract"
Rafi dared not hesitate at this time, and quickly replied.
He had already been discouraged and completely lost hope. Unexpectedly, there was still a way out, so he naturally agreed.
However, just as Rafi was preparing to make a contract with Midie, Midie shook her head.
"The object you want to contract is not me, but a powerful old man."
"Is Heidrich Hamilton, the Iron Blood Duke?"
On the side, "Sword Demon" Agares nodded thoughtfully.
Now, Midi has made peace on the Arad continent alone.
Whether it is the Delos Empire or the Belmar Kingdom, the rulers of these two most powerful countries in the Arad continent are closely related to Midi.
It can be said that as long as Midi comes out, the two countries will definitely execute this order without hesitation.
This is not only because Midi has high prestige and has given enough favors, but also because Midi's strength has sufficient shock.
However, Midi would not stay in Arad for too long. On the contrary, when the situation stabilized, he would soon leave here and go to the sky and sea of clouds.
Therefore, the biggest question is not whether the Arad continent was peaceful when Midi was here, but whether this peaceful and beautiful situation can continue to be maintained after Midi left.
The facts from the previous three months have proved that once Midi leaves, there will be ambitious people who are ready to move, which will lead to war.
Therefore, if we want to maintain peace after Midi leaves, the biggest key is "balance".
The reason why the empire launched an attack was related to Pofi's incitement, but the bigger factor was that the empire had the strength to crush the Kingdom of Belmar.
Even if Midi fought from Belmar to the Empire along the way, he annihilated a large number of elite Delos troops along the way. Since Belmar was also severely damaged, the Empire still had the advantage in comparison of actual strength.
Even if the current imperial emperor is the fourth prince Reinhardt, it may not be possible to guarantee that such a huge empire will maintain a unified voice.
For this reason, Midie thought of asking the demon Viscount Pofi and the Iron-blooded Duke Heidrich to sign a "master-servant contract".
In this way, if the Kingdom of Belmar mastered an intelligence network throughout the Arad continent, and there were even many powerful organizations to drive it, the gap with the empire would be greatly narrowed.
In addition, Reinhardt himself is not a pro-war faction, so it can be said that in this way, Midie can ensure the "balance" between the two sides.
What is maintained by Midie's majesty and deterrence is nothing but false peace. Only "balance" can bring true peace.
After Reinhardt ascended the throne, a few days later, after resettling the Viscount Pofe of the Devil and dispatching a large number of high-level potions and inheritances for the Falcon Group, Midie finally made the decision.
"I have been in Arad for three weeks, and it's almost time to leave."
Looking at the capital of the Kingdom of Belmar, the prosperous commercial capital of Hedonmar, Midi, standing on the hill, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
At this moment, it was early morning, and the golden sunset shone light on the rows of buildings. It looked like a golden sea made of bricks and stones, which looked particularly charming.
Midi watched quietly for a long time, without saying anything for a long time.
"Don't you say goodbye to them?"
Agares asked faintly.
Although Midi told Agares that he could return to the demon world and respond only to the summons of the "Minister Contract" if necessary, the "Sword Demon" himself was already determined to accompany Midi to the heavenly realm.
After all, he is not an ordinary demon, but a "sword demon", a demon who aims to pursue the strongest combat power.
Since he can achieve maximum growth in the shortest time as Midie can, he naturally has to follow Midie's pace.
Sometimes, Agares would even think secretly whether being able to sign this "membership contract" with Midi is considered a turning point in his life?
However, in the eyes of this demon, the environment in Arad continent is too superior.
Although these humans came into contact with Midi earlier than him and followed Midi, they were eventually left behind by Midi.
The levels of both sides will sooner or later reach an irreparable gap.
In fact, when Midi defeated the entire Delos Empire with one man, this gap had already emerged.
Now the "Sword Demon" is not saying that he suggests Midi to say goodbye, but rather that he is saying that he thinks it is time for Midi to part ways with ordinary mortals.
However, when Midi noticed Agares's thoughts, he laughed.
"Agares, do you know what to do to be truly powerful?"
Midi looked at the "Sword Demon" beside him and said calmly.
"I hope to hear the details."
Agares replied immediately.
"It's very simple, that is, no matter how strong you become, you always maintain a sense of modesty towards the world."
Midie said seriously, word by word.
There are even more powerful players. If you rely on force, one day you will definitely be crushed by stronger force.
Agares and Midi both advocate psychological control, because both of them understand that there is no end to strength, at least, before reaching the level of the supreme power.
So, since you understand that you are not the strongest, why do you have to be different from mortals?
Always maintaining awe and modesty towards this world is the endless motivation to keep getting stronger.
What's more, Midi never thought of leaving his hometown.
"Anyway, there is no need to say goodbye, because sooner or later, I will be back."
And, it was back with Fina and Alice.
Midie said in his heart.
The next moment, a glow had risen from the ground and led Midi and Agares to break through the air.
