"So, we have another new ally now?"

In the Mist Hidden Castle, Barkler yawned lazily.

After a night of hard work, no one expected that the final result would be like this.

Richard Lehman, the prince of the Franck Empire, confirmed that Siser Dardanell had been with her that night. As for why they were together, Soui explained that this was actually from the instruction of His Highness the Princess. His Highness hoped to communicate more with His Highness the Prince on the marriage, but obviously she was not suitable for her to come forward, and there was also a lack of people around her who could "trust", so Siser Dardanell entrusted a very important thing to herself. So Siser Dardanell successfully got together with Prince Richard.

Princess Avril herself can confirm this reason.

She did entrust Master Siser Dardanell to do something to get Prince Franck to accept a substitute. Anyway, all they need is an excuse to cede the land and calm the anger of the people.

Of course, neither Sue Yi nor Princess Avril or Prince Richard would say what was going on. No one would have thought about political decisions without thinking.

So the lies were naturally perfected.

On the other hand, the nobles of the upper class who have always been sensitive have heard something.

1. His Highness the Princess attaches great importance to this young master Dardanell. 2. His Highness the Princess is dissatisfied with the people around her because she lacks someone to "trust". This sentence obviously means something else, and everyone thinks of Padgett.

It seems that His Highness the Princess is very dissatisfied with her guard commander.

In addition, Prince Richard seemed to admire the young master of the Dardanelles family very much and praised him. From this perspective, this also means that the commission of His Royal Highness the Princess seemed to be completed by this little heir of the family who had been trying to enter the upper sphere.

In other words, after tonight, the Dardanelles family has officially risen in the upper reaches of the Lance Empire.

There is no more support, it is more important than the support of His Royal Highness, isn’t it?

As for Raschel, it is undeniable that he is indeed very capable.

But he still suffered a big defeat. He failed to catch Shuegray. Instead, he suffered losses and suffered numerous casualties and injuries. The palace was attacked and the princess was kidnapped. Now he tried to "fraud" a family heir who had "no background".

It seems that he will not be able to live up to the next day.

If the Law and Political Department valued him before tonight, Xiu Yi ignored him. Then after tonight, Xiu Yi valued him, and the empire would ignore him.

Only Shuiglair himself and his friends knew how hard Raschel was to deal with an old fox.

He only used a little clue to find himself, and with just one move, he forced Xiu Yi to ruin his situation and almost ruined the great situation he had managed to do so.

But it was precisely because of this that Xiu Yi realized that he needed to make some changes.

Obviously, Xiu Yi has already made a step further than just leaving Purgatory Island.

He became more steady and planned. Because he had already understood a truth.

"The world is not an isolated island. On Purgatory Island, I can only move forward, not backward, I have no choice, and once I lose, I will die. But in the entire world's planning, sometimes we have to prepare for failure. The world is very big. Even if we fail, as long as we don't hurt our vitality, we can still make a comeback. This is my greatest understanding since I left Purgatory Island." Xiu Yi sighed and said, "I'm glad that we can find the person to save everything in time this time, otherwise our best result now is to fight out of Winlington all the way."

"When did Richard Lehman contact you?"

"After I send Avril back..."

Only then did Xiuyi start to tell what happened that night.

After Avril returned to the Royal Garden, Xiu Yi had already made plans to set up a teleportation array, and was ready to escape immediately once it was exposed. The reason why he wanted to see Avril first was that in addition to needing her to pass the message, another important reason was that he hoped that she could understand her own difficulties. In this way, if Avril secretly helped them when they ran away, it would be relatively easier.

But what Shuyi didn't expect was Chaklay.

Although Xiu Yi failed to eliminate his opponent as planned in the battle of Qingshui Street, he finally helped Chaklay escape. Chaklay was able to escape because of lack of evidence, Rasher could not seize him on the spot, which allowed him to maintain his chance of using force, and on the other hand because of Xiu Yi's actions. In addition, there is another important reason that Rasher and others immediately paid less attention to Chaklay after Xiu Yi appeared.

But no one expected that while these two sides were fighting, there was a star-level strong man who was invisible behind the scenes.

This person is one of the two star warriors of the Bihavich Frank Empire who followed the girl Emilia.

Richard Lehmann is going to come to the Lance Empire to marry Avril, so it is naturally impossible for him to be protected by strong people. Bihavich is the most important protector, responsible for fighting for the prince and clearing out all possible potential threats. However, he shoulders not only the important task of protecting the prince, but also a task even more on protecting the prince, which is to find Shuiglair.

For the Franck Empire, the Lance Empire, which once had an ordinary military strength, has developed rapidly and has strong military strength in recent years. Half of the reasons are because they have a huge legion of puppets. These legions of puppets have excellent combat capabilities and have little need for logistics. They are not afraid of death in combat and absolutely obey command. They may not be the most terrifying group of soldiers on the front battlefield, but they must be the best ones. The emergence of the Demon Spirit Legion as an assassination corps has low cost, poisonous means, strong force, and can avoid fighting spirit searches. It once caused a bloody storm in the Franck Empire and killed countless middle and grassroots legions, which also brought great trouble to the Francks.

Middle-level legions are the links for generals to command soldiers, but they do not have guards around them like senior generals. Once they are lost in large quantities, they will cause inconvenience in the command system during combat.

Two legions, one strengthened the front battlefield of the Lance Empire, and the other weakened the enemy's strength. The Franck Empire had huge national strength, but was forced to retreat step by step.

They also tried to find the mysterious origins of these two legions more than once, but there was no result. It was not until the emergence of Shuiglair that rumors began to spread and the secret gradually surfaced.

For any country, whoever can own Shuiglair can greatly increase his military strength.

Fortunately, on this issue, the Lance Empire obviously made a big mistake. They mistakenly evaluated the severity of the situation and believed that Sulliar could not escape the pursuit of the empire, and that as long as he was found, all the losses could be recovered.

Therefore, at the beginning, they had no intention of negotiating with Xiuyi.

Of course, no country can negotiate with a fugitive at the beginning. Negotiations are always a means that only when force cannot achieve the predetermined goal.

The result was that they suffered consecutive blows from Soiglair.

Xiu Yi's outstanding performance was seen by the Francks. They cleverly adjusted their strategies and did not intend to forcefully kidnap Xiu Yi, but decided to use the method of winning and buying.

It is under this premise that Franck talents used intermarriage to ced three groups of land, otherwise how could they have agreed so easily to the Lance Empire to take away three groups of land?

To negotiate with Xiuyi, there must be heavyweights from home to show sincerity.

It is difficult for such a person to walk freely within the enemy's territory. The best way is to intermarry and then appear openly on the enemy's territory.

So Richard came with a special mission.

Even before he arrived, Emilia, the famous leader of the Dark Hall of the Frank Empire, came to the Lance Empire with Bihavich, looking for Shuiglare everywhere.

When they learned that Souigray publicly threatened to go to Winlington, the joy in their hearts was imaginable.

When Xiuyi attacked the palace, Richard Leman immediately ordered Bihavich to find a way to contact Xiuyi. As an outsider, Bihavich clearly saw that Xiuyi's attack on the palace was only a pretext, and he did not have that great ability to assassinate Emperor Strick. In fact, not only he could see that Xiuyi's attack on the palace was meaningless, but the problem was that except for the Francks, all the Lances people could not say it. On the contrary, they had to take this opportunity to show their loyalty, so even if they saw it, they would only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

This is exactly why the Director of the Law and Political Department, Lentino; Marquis Jacobs, would agree to transfer Rasher's people back immediately, and he did not want to be said to be attacked in the future. His people were close at hand, but they just didn't rescue him. The reason was that it was ridiculous that Shuiglare was probably a plan to lure his tiger out of the mountain.

That would become a favorable bargaining chip for his political enemies to attack him.

Whether it is Shuei, Lentino, Marquis Jacobs, Bihavich or others, most noble officials are very clear about this. This is just one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. Shueibo made a scam, and the other willing to be fooled, and if he sees it through, he will be fooled. That is really something that no one can do. Rasher is the one who is unlucky, and all his plans have been hit hard by it.

And in Rentino; after Marquis Jacobs ordered Raschel to return to the palace, Bihavich immediately realized that Raschel's troops were probably the real target of Shuyi, although he did not know why. However, after this speculation, he immediately went to find Raschel's men.

Then he witnessed the battle on Qingshui Street with his own eyes.

As his identity as a powerful star, he would not be able to hide it. Even Hampton, who is also a powerful star, would not be able to discover the other party.

So when Chaklay ran away, he finally understood what was going on.

When Chaklay ran away, he even secretly helped, but no one could see it.

When Chaklay was out of danger, he originally wanted to find a place to rest, and wait for Shuyi to find him before thinking about what to do next. Bihavich appeared at this time, took Chaklay on the spot, and took him to meet Richard Lehman.

After assuring Chaklay that the Francks had absolutely no bad intentions for Shue Glair, Chaklay took the initiative to contact Shue and meet Shue for Richard Leman.

The next thing began to be natural.

Richard Lehman hopes to cooperate with Shuyi to buy some alchemy and special resources from Shuyi.

"Did you agree to him so?" Lilith asked nervously.

"No." To Lilith's expectations, Seoyi shook his head: "Lilith, I'm not a fool, I know what that means. My revenge may bring some trouble and pain to the Lance Empire, but at least it is not a complete disaster. If the Francks become stronger, the nature of things will change. They will enter the Lance Empire, destroy this country, and enslave the people here. The Prince Richard seems to be a very smart person, but that does not mean he will have a kind heart. Although I will kill some people, it does not mean that I will pull all my innocents into the abyss of war. Especially... I have not forgotten what you came to assassinate me for."

He looked at Lilith and smiled and said, "Do you think I will do something that disappoints you?"

Lilith's face turned red, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

That's right, although she is a robber, Lilith is also a Lance. She has no good feelings for the imperial family, but she does not intend to sell her country.

Revenge yourself is a matter of a moment, but colluding with foreign enemies is another matter of a matter of a completely different nature and cannot be compared.

"So why does he still want to help you?"

Shiuyi replied: "I don't support the Francks in, nor do I support the Lances in. For me, it is a good thing for these two countries to maintain a balance of military strength. So I will not provide them with technology, but may provide them with some formed puppets to help them offset the advantages of the Lance Empire. Of course, Prince Richard may not be satisfied with this result, but it is much better than giving nothing to me. Especially, he has something to ask for me now."

"What's the matter?"

"Three groups of land." Xiuyi said seriously: "You won't really believe that the Francks will willingly hand over the three groups of land, right? Even if there is an excuse for weddings, how many people can they really deceive? If possible, they don't want to deliver an inch of land. In contrast, marrying Avril is not in the eyes of the Francks. There will never be a beauty in this world who deserves so much land, even if she is the Imperial Princess."

"So that's the case." Barkler nodded: "Then today, he helped us..."

"One, I help them force the Lance Empire to give up their territorial requirements. Of course, they also need their own cooperation, and Avril's cooperation. Second, I only have scarce resources, but there are few ordinary resources. They provide a huge number of ordinary resources, I provide scarce resources and technology, and we cooperate to produce magic puppets. Half of the produced magic puppets belong to them and half to me. Third, the Frank Empire will be our greatest backing from then on. If one day we fail and have nowhere to go, we can escape to the Frank Empire. There, we will become real nobles and have everything we want to have. This is what I said earlier... a retreat, a retreat prepared for failure."

"I don't want to go to Frank." Lilith.

“No one wants to use a retreat, but no one doesn’t want to have a good retreat.”

This makes sense, and Barkler nodded: "I think this is great. The Francks can provide us with a lot of resources, wealth and conditions that we do not have. If you grasp the alchemy and only provide the finished products, they will always need you and will not betray you. But how do you plan to force the Lance Empire to give up the three groups of land?"

"It's very simple. I gave Richard Lehman a space ring with the production deadline engraved on it, which is this year." Xiuyi said with a smile.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Many things can actually be very simple, just whether you want to do it or not.

What was the Lance Empire most afraid of? It was not that he could not get what Xiu Yi had, but that he gave these things to other countries.

A space ring can illustrate many things, such as Shuiglare has become good friends with the Francks.

In this case, Xiu Yi's value was truly reflected. He was arrogant and even if he suffered a great loss, he was furious and wanted to capture Xiu Yi and steal everything back. This time, the Lance Empire was probably really panicked and scared.

In this case, many things are no longer unnegotiable.

If the three groups of territories are given up, it can ensure that those resources and alchemy will not fall into the hands of the Francks. They may really agree, and Avril's crisis will be resolved.

In fact, Richard Lehman was already in the palace at this moment.

He was fiddling with the interest of the ugly and tasteless ring in Christine's words, showing off in front of Emperor Strick.

Of course, he did not say that this was given to Shuyi, but that it was given to him by a blonde boy before he came to Winlington.
