The population of the Kingdom of Nicaea is not less than that of the Kingdom of Sakura, its area is larger than that of the Kingdom of Sakura, and it has more resources than the Kingdom of Sakura.
The population can only be officially counted at over 100 million.
Considering that many villages are secretly controlled by local kings or warlords, there are even more rebels causing trouble.
The real population will only be higher.
But with more people, strength may not be greater.
The country of Nicaea is in political chaos, has a decaying military, and its economic lifeline is controlled by multinational groups.
In the eyes of many scholars, the Kingdom of Nicaea has always been in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal state.
It is a weak country among ordinary countries.
Even the upper echelons of Nicaea have realized the importance of the Extraordinary Conference, and are extremely envious and jealous of the forces that have obtained extraordinary materials.
The funds provided for this diplomacy are still very limited.
Not even comparable to some wealthy private funds.
"You know, the commander-in-chief attaches great importance to this."
General Ami turned around and sat on the sofa: "Is there really no other way?"
"You know, those officials..."
"It's different this time." The young secretary sighed: "All our channels are useless."
"Those officials are more and more spineless when it comes to the Ampere family."
"Especially the one called the Onmyoji's Dog... the non-human Yasuo Abe!"
The young secretary said with a grimace: "Let's go visit each other."
"In the end, I couldn't even step through the threshold."
"That onmyoji dog looked down upon our gifts, and even ignored the generous conditions provided by our Kingdom of Nicaea."
General Ami frowned slightly when he heard this.
The lack of financial resources was something he had expected.
Therefore, the reason why he accompanied him on this trip was to be able to agree to some gray conditions on behalf of the commander-in-chief at a critical moment.
For example, the mining rights of certain unexploited mines, such as the right of way of a certain railway, etc., can all be negotiated.
Can be exchanged.
But don’t you think that the other party won’t even talk about this?
Is it really...that the competition is too strong?
General Ami asked an adviser to bring over the records. As he read through them himself, his face became uglier as he looked at them.
"Those first-class powerful countries are so shameless."
"They will definitely get the quota for the Extraordinary Conference...but, they still want to snatch our quota!"
"These powerful countries are so unreasonable!"
General Ami said, but the group of people next to him remained silent.
No one dared to speak, but they sighed secretly.
Extraordinary births, great changes are coming, and the pretense maintained between the world's powerful nations has long been torn apart during this period.
Weak countries have no diplomacy.
Once again proven to be a wise saying.
Although powerful countries will have extraordinary quotas, they will never have too many.
Even for the sake of profit, they will definitely try their best to monopolize the quotas here, so that the fewer forces participating in the meeting, the better.
After all, the cakes in the real world within a certain period of time are limited.
If there is really important information at the conference, it is obvious that the participants will become a natural alliance.
They will get the most important time to face the changes!
"We...cannot be abandoned by the world!"
General Ami said this.
Open your eyes and look around.
He looked at everyone who lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
General Ami, who was angry in his heart, cursed: "Trash!"
He waved his hand, and General Ami asked everyone except a few core confidants to leave the suite.
Just when General Ami roared angrily at these people, clenched his fists tremblingly, and prepared to vent his violence.
The lights suddenly dimmed.
Then, a burst of black mist enveloped the door and floor-to-ceiling windows, cutting off the screams of the people inside.
Then, a strange man wrapped in black bandages emerged from the dark fog where the floor-to-ceiling window was, as if it could pass through the window by relying on the black fog.
"do not worry."
The black bandaged weirdo's eyes had a faint red light. He glanced at the Nicaea envoys and spoke hoarsely.
"I don't mean any harm to you by coming here."
General Ami has killed people after all.
He mustered up his courage, looked at the strange man and said, "Tell me your origins, unknown and mysterious man."
"Hehehe."
The black bandage weirdo laughed strangely and said:
"I'm here to make a deal with you."
"In Nicaea, there is no legacy of extraordinary power left."
"In our circles, Nicaea is a blank space."
The news told by the weird man with black bandage made General Ami and others feel palpitations in their ears.
They felt that the news made them even worse.
"..."
General Ami sighed softly and said, "So?"
"So the Nicaea region is a good place to rest for us."
"You must be the top brass in the Nicaea region."
"Do you want a spot in the Extraordinary Conference?"
"Yes!" General Ami nodded when he heard this.
Several close friends' eyes lit up when they heard about the quota for the Extraordinary Conference.
"The quota...I have it!"
The black bandage weirdo said, and slowly took out a statue of Morrigan, the goddess of war, carved from black crystal from the void.
This statue is only seventeen centimeters high, but it is lifelike and rich in details.
In addition, the extraordinary craftsman who carved it had Xiao Yu's permission and was able to use various extraordinary carving techniques.
Even without magic power, the statue of Morrigan, the Goddess of War, still gave General Ami and others the illusion that they saw the Goddess of War Morrigan alive when they first saw it.
He instinctively realized that this statue was not simple!
"ah!"
The young secretary behind General Ami saw the statue clearly and was shocked: "This is Morrigan, the goddess of war!"
"The evil god who ravaged Britain's Fog!"
"Hahaha, you called it wrong." The black bandage weirdo shook his head: "Morrigan, the goddess of war, is just an evil god in the extraordinary eyes of the Celtics."
"Her mastery of the power of death indeed makes her feared by everyone, but at the same time she also masters the power of harvest and forest, making her a goddess of nature in the eyes of many people."
"And, none of these are actually important."
"Isn't it? Evil or justice, it just depends on the position."
"The key is, you and I both know it."
"Morrigan, the goddess of war, is a true god, a true living god!"
"But wasn't she defeated and wiped out?" the young secretary asked in a low voice with her mouth open.
"Destroyed in ashes?"
"Hehehe, the true God is immortal."
"She exists forever in the world and exists in the void."
"Just to come again."
The black bandaged weirdo said this and placed the statue on the table, and then the surrounding black fog began to slowly dissipate.
He himself retreated into the dark mist near the floor-to-ceiling windows and whispered:
"Choose, Nicaea."
"It is to help us and let the war goddess Morrigan gain faith and return."
"Or...will you be abandoned by the world in the coming trend?"
The sound slowly dissipated, and at the same time, the black fog also gradually disappeared.
As the lights brighten again.
Everything is like a dream.
A black crystal statue of Morrigan, the goddess of war, suddenly appeared on the table, reminding the people of Nicaea that what just happened was not an illusion!
However, Xiao Yu, who was holding the crystal skull of the artifact of faith, knew that it was an illusion.
I just made up the illusion myself, sneaked in by the way, and put the statue there.
"This is the first one."
Xiao Yu landed on the rooftop opposite the hotel, watching General Ami hesitate and finally pick up the statue of Morrigan, the goddess of war.
He smiled as if his cunning plan was successful.
Prepare to use the power of illusion of the Crystal Skull to continue to deceive the next small force.
Chapter completed!
