When most Star people think of Exeters, their first reaction is always: "hard and hard-resistant".

The second reaction will be different.

Most civilians will touch their heads in confusion and say "barbaric" or "rude", while merchants will probably laugh and say "integrity, good business", while mercenaries and adventurers will smile mysteriously, telling you that they are the first candidates whether they charge or break the back.

The veterans who fought with them would frown, sigh in deep memories in the ale and tobacco, leaving a sentence: They are not easy to mess with.

But according to the continental history that Tailes read, at least the nobles and lords of the stars had a completely different and complex impression of their strong neighbors in the north.

As the number one power in the Western Land, Ext has a terrifying powerful army and amazing record. It is not only a credible and solid alliance in the mainland war, but also a terrifying evil dragon with hideous faces when the three Western Land powers compete.

Compared with the well-temporary and orderly and exquisite Star Kingdom, this is a powerful country full of romantic spirit and resistance, both martial arts and heroic plots. Its long tradition even predated the ancient empire period.

From the distant era of ignorance, the "All of Ten Thousand Beasts" formed by the king of the north, Takmu, and the orcs, to the Iron Blood King using heroic sacrifice to resist the "last line of human defense" of the orcs. This northern territory of mankind once blew the most bitter cold wind, awakening humans from the weak and ignorant era.

Then in the period of the kings, in the decisive battle of Quegure, two thousand human cavalry went forward and launched a "Sage Battle" to fight against the 20,000 orc heavy infantry army. Then, the powerful knights in the north gathered under the emperor's banner, conquered all directions in swords and fire, and established an ancient empire. The land in the north witnessed how the single sword of mankind became the sharpest blade in the world.

During the Empire, the "King of Rebellion" in the northern provinces, Kuiso, who was in the north, rebelled against the tyrants. Although he was not famous in the Star King, which believed that the orthodox lineage of the empire, Tailes had read that the King of Rebellion attacked the three major legions of the empire with only three hundred remaining people, and finally died in the military formation, evoked the seemingly powerful empire. The accumulated diseases and hidden injuries everywhere in his body kicked off the first civil strife in the empire.

The closest thing to the contemporary Exeter Kingdom is that in the end battle of the collapse of the sky and the earth, the hero Nekaru fell from the sky and rushed straight to the enemy center in the darkest moment of despair, igniting the "Reversal of Cold Wind" battle of the northern provinces and even the entire world to resist hope, saving the precarious Northern and Western Front war zones, not to mention a chaotic post-war continental fission. He and his loyal nine knights under him created the legend of Exeter.

To put it closer, the legendary adventures of the three heroes Sarah, the Stars’ oath keeper Midil, and the Prophet Kelpeng, and the decisive battle of the Eastern Army during the Third Continental War have turned the tide. They are still stories about Errol’s world that are talked about - at least in the Western Continental Continental.

Compared to the Star Kingdom, which is like an old gentleman who carries the heavy orthodox empire and even the story of the founding of the country is full of tragic and bitterness, the Kingdom of Exeter is full of heroism and resistance, and is more like a young warrior full of hope and blood. As the sword pointed, he is moving forward, his spirit is inseparable, and he has no regrets even if he dies.

Just like the Exter man that Tailes saw before him.

Exeter's emergency envoy, Baron Russell Vader, stood upright in the Revival Palace, second only to the Hall of Stars, and did not care about the bad gazes of the star officials and nobles in the hall.

He stood casually in a posture of holding his arms with his hands, looking down at the ground, only occasionally raising his eyes to scan the surroundings, but he did not look indecent or rude at all, as if this was what he should have. The faint smile on his lips made the bystanders frown.

Russell looked only in his forties. He was holding a scroll with a red dragon lacquer print in his hand. Not only did he look fearless, but his face was even proud. When the people in the hall were swept by his fighting eyes, they had an illusion: it was not that they were looking at the envoy, but that the Exte standing in the hall of the meeting was looking at them arrogantly.

In this case, Tails pursed his lips tightly and stood with Kilbert, hidden beside the Star Throne above several steps, inconspicuous.

In the hall, from the six wealthy dukes with different expressions, the heads of the thirteen noble families, to the imperial meetings: the intelligence chief Morat Hansen, the finance minister Juke Mann, the military adviser Sodor Red, etc., they all stood quietly on the side of the throne.

The highest power center of the entire Star Kingdom is waiting for the King of Kessel V on the throne to speak.

Kessel V's sky blue eyes were also carefully looking at the emergency envoy sent by Exeter since Prince Moral was assassinated.

The fact that he was able to cross the border from Longxiao City without stopping to Yongxing City within six days after the incident shows the urgency of the matter and the attitude of the envoy.

"What have you brought, the messenger of the North Dragon?" Kathel's voice spread.

"Me? Humph, I personally brought nothing." Russell chuckled with a light hint of the Exeter, his eyes turned cold: "But soon, the nation of Exeter will bring their sorrow, their despair, and..."

"Their rage!"

The whole hall became quiet.

Baron Russell looked at King Kessel straight and did not retreat.

In the suffocating silence, when Tels was wondering which side should start the topic first.

Kessel V broke the silence.

"I recognize you."

The king spoke slowly, and a heavy voice spread throughout the hall: "Twelve years ago, Chaman Rumba, who was the current Grand Duke of Heisha and was still the Earl of Yicheng, came to visit the Stars on behalf of Exet, on behalf of Exet - you were in that envoy to lead him to the horse."

"Um?"

Russell frowned at first, a little surprised at Kessel's memory.

But he chuckled.

"What an amazing memory, Your Majesty," Russell's smile was filled with uncomfortable irony: "I remember it very clearly, Your Majesty, you were just the fifth prince, standing alone in the corner."

He turned his hands on his back, took a step forward, and continued:

"... Looking at Chaman Rumba, King Eddie, who was covered in white hair and old, was suffering from rebellion, suggested to return the territory of the five counties that should belong to us Northlands and Exter to their masters..."

"Exter will generously send troops south to help his neighbors quell the intensifying rebellion for more than 600 years."

Many people frowned.

Deeply suffering from rebellion - a bloody year? Tails remembered this.

But Tailes noticed even more that the envoy placed "we Northlanders" before "Exter".

what does that mean?

"I remember King Eddie politely rejecting the so-called 'proposal' of Grand Duke Lomba," Duke Farkenhoz chuckled, "But even so, you still sent troops south 'generously'... What a touching good neighbor!"

Russell smiled mysteriously without replying.

"The Grand Duke of Lomba probably doesn't know much," Earl Zemuto's eyes caught fire: "The five counties you mentioned are ruled by the Aronde, Zemuto and the Forres. Our ancestors have owned them since the beginning of the founding of the Kingdom of Stars - that is the territory of Stars, and it is irrefutable."

To Tayles' expectations, Russell actually chuckled.

In the angrily eyes of the hall, his chuck gradually turned into a laugh.

"In recent years, the cold wind in Exeter has become stronger and colder. Our shepherd boys and hunters have to grit their teeth and go out in the severe cold that can freeze tears. When they come back, they keep using Xuemoji's hands that are almost frozen, so as to prevent their hands and feet from freezing and freezing."

In everyone's puzzled eyes, Russell sneered: "In this way, for several years, decades, we can only use a pair of trembling hands that hold a bow and whip to form a pair of tough and solid hands suitable for wielding the great sword."

Russell paused, looked around, and laughed without any scruples: "In contrast, the climate of the stars is only warmer and more comfortable, especially suitable for the weak who only breathe on a woman's belly - this is the descendants of Midil, the 'swollen guardian'!"

The hall suddenly felt an uproar!

Tailes widened his eyes: Why didn't he be willing to get to the point, but said the second sentence to insult the envoy who went to the country?

But he immediately realized that Xingchen was completely at a disadvantage in the assassination of the prince. In terms of military strength, the troops that Xingchen can gather at present - just look at the National Meeting yesterday.

Whether to hold accountable, when to hold it, how to hold it, and the initiative in the whole matter are all in Exter's hands.

Tailes sighed softly.

Earl Forres pressed the sword on his waist with a "snap" and said in anger: "What do you mean!"

But Kessel V raised his hand calmly and waved many nobles who were angry and retreated.

“I mean—when did even the bad reason for ‘my grandpa owned that land’ could become the standard for dividing territory?”

Russell turned around with a bright look, and his eyes were bright and unreliable to the nobles and lords of the stars.

"Whether Exter or the stars, every inch of land is conquered. The strong get the benefits and leave, and the weak give up chips to protect themselves. This is the international law," Russell said coldly, with a cold and unkind face: "Just as the King Chenjian of the East Lu said: Only those who can live in it."

Only a few people including Kilbert narrowed their eyes slightly and thought about his intentions, while King Cathel looked at the nobles in the hall with deep thoughts in his eyes.

"Please be careful, Your Highness," Kilbert whispered to Tils: "In diplomacy, there is no meaningless quarrel or words - this is a temptation and change of steps before the sword. The other party is testing our steps and reality, for the last moment of drawing the sword."

"He did not rush to get to the point, saying that he might not have any clues about directly raising the conditions, or that he might have found a better negotiation point."

"But so far, this is his trick: by angering us, pulling the topic towards the direction of military, military strength, strength, and strength, planting a seed, and looking at our reactions, to judge the direction of the next sword," Kilbert whispered: "And, when he brings out the real topic, we will unconsciously begin to tend to think about war, the cost of war - and relatively neglect other options."

Tailes frowned: Do we have other options?

Russell took a step forward and looked at King Cathel with a bright look: "And Xingchen, do you have the ability to defend your so-called territory?"

The anger of the nobles in the hall has reached its peak!

The Earl Zemuto from the north angrily slapped the northern military uniform and shouted: "Let your army let the horse go--"

But he was immediately interrupted by a more vigorous and calm voice!

"OK--"

Val Aaronde smiled calmly, his thick voice over Zemuto and echoed throughout the hall: "It just so happens that as the Duke of the North, I am also worried that our territory is not big enough! Grand Duke Lumba wants our five northern counties, but I also miss his black sand collar - we will send troops and use our own abilities to exchange territory?"

Listening to the rebuttal of the Duke of the North, Exeter's emergency envoy frowned slightly, but then smiled.

"The Duke of North has handled it well," Kilbert said to the Crossing World, solemnly: "But the previous words of Earl Zemuto may have exposed some information to the other party."

Tails nodded, and he understood: in the face of provocation, Zemuto was furious and asked his opponent to let him come over, but Val smiled and said that he also wanted the other party's territory - the meaning and reality hidden behind the storm. In the face of the invasion, his attitude and determination immediately emerged.

At this moment, a young girl's voice inserted into the conversation.

"Is there any capable person who live in it? In this case, your great Duke of the Black Sha Corps should raise his army early, kill your King Nunn, and sit on the throne yourself."

Just one sentence made Russell's face suddenly change color!

"Because I think he is already stronger than King Nunn, right? He has to face a country to the south, but only has to face a king to the north... Why not try it... Maybe it will succeed."

Under everyone's amazing eyes, the fifteen-year-old Duke of the Blade Leader, Lyanna Tbuck, stood among the male lords in a cold voice:

"You might as well bring this sentence back to the Grand Duke Lumba of the Black Sand Collar - as King Chenjian of Feng said: Only those who can live in it."
