Snow is falling in the sky and the cold wind is blowing!
The scorching nightmare walked through the long street, leaving burning hoof prints on the snowy road. The burly and sturdy undead hated the silence and cleared the way. Wherever it went, the onlookers immediately closed their eyes subconsciously.
On the mouth.
These abominations sewn together from various corpse fragments are really hideous and ugly. The sutures all over the body are like centipedes lying on the body. With the steps, the muscles and sutures move, making those 'centipedes' seem to come alive.
.
Woohoo!
Finally, some children couldn't stand their ugly appearance and were so frightened that they cried when they took them. Some little girls vomited directly. There was nothing they could do, it was really disgusting.
The adventurers and mercenaries were not so superficial. As well as the nobles, looking at Downton's hatred, their eyes were full of envy and jealousy, and they wanted to take it for themselves immediately.
This is the undead abomination with the nickname of war machine. Among the heavy infantry units in all planes, it can be ranked in the top ten. They are definitely a weapon for attacking cities and strongholds. They have no pain and no fear. In their minds, forever
All we can do is move forward, move forward, and move forward again!
Other legions have fewer and fewer soldiers as they fight. After their soldiers die, they still need to be recruited and trained in order to reach their peak combat effectiveness. But Abomination is different. As long as there is a war workshop, Abomination can be continuously produced.
Everyone in the planes knows that the undead clan is best at attacking soldiers, and even the most terrifying abyss demons cannot compare with them in terms of numbers.
"Fortunately, this guy doesn't have a war workshop, otherwise he would be open to creating hatred. Who among those third-rate countries can stop him?"
"Come on, the construction technology of the war workshop is very complicated. Even among the undead clan, there are only a few people who master this technology. There are also methods of making abominations. You can just sew the body fragments together? The steps are said to be cumbersome.
I'm going to die!"
The envoys from various countries all felt lucky in whispers, especially those from third-rate countries. They all breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way, the birth of an iron-blooded emperor always meant endless war and death.
.
Downton glanced at the expressions of those people and couldn't help but want to laugh. They never dreamed that Homer came from Netheril, the most brilliant magical civilization.
At that time, there were magic item shops all over the streets. You could buy abomination manufacturing manuals at any store. The blueprints of the war workshop were more difficult to obtain, but the Great Grimoire was worthy of the title of the Great Encyclopedia. Not only that, but also
There are many kinds, among which the strongest steel abomination is a being that can fight with giant dragons. If Downton didn't lack materials, it would have been created long ago.
Homer's sixteenth master was an undead prince, which is why he possesses this knowledge.
Of course, the Holy See of Light prohibits the construction of any dark buildings, but the Thousand-Year Altar is underground. They tried their best to find out the secret.
This is the reason why Downton dares to challenge Rhine and Samosa. As long as he wants, he can build an undead army at any time, but once it is used, it will be a lot of trouble.
Hutao floated around on a flying ray, and finally stopped next to Downton, a little sad, "I think they seem to be afraid of us?"
"It's better to be afraid, because you will be in awe because you are afraid!"
The Death Knights are Rosicky's direct corps. Although Downton can also call them, he refused. It is better to use his own corps for this kind of 'military parade', and Abomination will give these people a deep warning that they are not good.
provoke.
It was indeed not easy to mess with. After Downton was led into Toledo Cathedral by a waiter, he found a group of messengers communicating in twos and threes, but there was no one around him.
Everyone is keeping away from Downton, except him, because this guy has offended the Dupont and Hohenzollern families, and these waiters don't want the two wealthy families to misunderstand that they have anything to do with him.
This time, some small principalities ranked behind the third-rate countries were also invited, but they had no say at all, so they only had to make up the number.
When these people arrived at the cathedral, a priest entered the chapel and read out the list.
"Above, all the envoys whose names are read, please go to the first chapel to attend the meeting chaired by the envoy Saint Judland. Others can visit and rest in other chapels, please do as you please!"
After the priest finished speaking, he turned and left.
Downton noticed that only three of the third-rate countries were called, and the rest were not even qualified to attend.
"Isn't this too arrogant?"
"Be content, they invited you after all. You don't know, there are many people who want to participate, but they still can't get the invitations!"
"Hey, so what if you go in? You're not just a kowtowing bug. How dare you raise an objection?"
The envoys talked a lot. Some envoys from different countries had conflicts with each other. Their words were full of gunpowder. If the situation was not wrong, they would start fighting.
"Let's go, wait until they come up with a deal, and we'll just do it!"
Some messengers were more relaxed and did not stand here waiting for news, but went to the cathedral. Of course, it was okay to leave early, but no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.
Because they were in a cathedral, no drinks were provided, but juices were available. So the envoys took the opportunity to start communicating and see if they could negotiate a few trade deals and increase their contacts.
There is almost no fool who can serve as an envoy for such an important meeting, so they do everything possible to form alliances and expand their international status.
"Are these people so kind-hearted? Aren't they afraid that the meeting's decision will be detrimental to the country?"
Downton frowned. This feeling of not being taken seriously made him feel very depressed.
"You don't understand this. A third-rate country like this, fighting alone, has long been swallowed up by neighboring countries, so they all have suzerains. They attend the meeting just to support the suzerains. As for the decision, of course it is
Whatever the suzerain country says, that’s what it says!”
Homer didn't say anything. Regardless of whether Tang Duncheng admitted it or not, in the eyes of other countries, Frankfurt was Lombardy's younger brother. Without this backing, others would have called him.
Although the priest said he could rest, he still distributed a white paper called "On the Advantages of the Northern Community" to each envoy. It was more than a hundred pages long and filled with dense official fonts of St. Jutland, as well as the envoys'
The font of the country they belong to.
At this point, most of the earlier speculations and rumors were overturned. Everyone originally thought that Saint Jutland was going to unify the north, but unexpectedly it was this kind of plan.
"Is this plan good?"
Downton flipped through it casually, browsing the key contents, and praised it sincerely.
The theme of this parliament is to discuss the establishment of the Northern Alliance, allowing the northern countries to form a community, unify the economy, language, cancel tariffs, break down trade barriers, etc., and strive to achieve a plan to eliminate war and achieve common prosperity within ten years.
"Not bad? Are you confused? Let me talk about this first, unify the official language? Which one should I use? Saint Jutland or Saint Laurent? Or Holy Britannia?"
When a middle-aged man next to Downton heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Humph, language is the foundation of a country and the inheritance of culture. When another country's language becomes the mainstream, how do you ensure that the Chinese people are not assimilated?"
Downton was silent.
"You can't say it, right? Breaking trade barriers? Why? A certain country has become rich by relying on a certain specialty product, and now it is forced to balance it. Wouldn't it enrich those developing countries?"
The words of the middle-aged man made some already developed countries nod their heads frequently. They felt that this was another attempt to cut their flesh.
As the middle-aged people talked, more and more people gathered and began to discuss in whispers. When it comes to such a big matter, naturally there will be great disputes and differences.
"As expected, he defended the name of the indigenous duke. He doesn't understand anything!"
"You think this kind of messenger has no purpose other than causing chaos?"
"This guy just got lucky. Look, Frankfurt falls into his hands. Within five years, it will definitely be divided by decline!"
Either jealous or envious, in short, the messengers with various thoughts took advantage of this opportunity to shoot at Downton. We can't defeat him, but we can defeat him in other aspects, thus ensuring our sense of superiority.
.
Downton had no intention of standing up this time and listened calmly. With his position, his opinions would not be taken seriously anyway. But he didn't expect that he would be criticized after just one word.
"Rebut it, otherwise your reputation will be ruined, and all the northern countries will know that you are an incompetent fool!"
Cheap gods urge.
"Humph, don't think you can decide anything just by standing here? You'd better go home and study for a few more years, otherwise millions of citizens will fall into poverty because of your wrong decisions!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, with a proud expression on his face because he defeated Downton.
"Your Excellency, unifying the official language can facilitate communication, as well as the dissemination and inheritance of academics. Whether you admit it or not, we third-rate countries, not only compared with the nine great empires, but also compared with second-rate countries like Xueman,
It has a huge disadvantage in terms of magic and technology. If you want to absorb the expertise of other countries as quickly as possible without a common language, it will take a long time and a lot of energy!"
Downton has no stage fright and talks eloquently.
"In addition, each country's language is different, and there are differences in knowledge recording, grammar and writing habits. Sometimes a small detail may cause a wide range of errors."
Some of the envoys nodded. Indeed, they also sent outstanding students to study in other countries. Just learning their language was very time-consuming, and because it was not their mother tongue, they never felt like they could easily learn it.
"In addition, the same language does not have to be the official language of the nine empires. It can also be Netheril, or even the common language of the mainland that not many people know anymore!"
A long time ago, as the powerful Elf Queen conquered the world, a continental lingua franca emerged. However, now, due to the rise of the great empire and its expansion of influence, few people use those anymore, and instead use these imperial languages.
For example, Frankfurt is close to Saint-Jyltland, so some civilians in the country can speak a few daily expressions.
The middle-aged man was speechless, thinking for a while, and just as he was about to speak, Downton continued. (To be continued...)
