"This wine was just sent over from the Demon Alliance. It is fragrant but not strong, mellow but not strong. It is most suitable for those who are new to this art."
After dismissing the priests and generals, Cohen turned his head and smiled at the crow: "Weren't you changing your eating habits a few days ago? Now that you've caught up, let's have a drink!"
"Okay." Crow came over and sat down, watching Cohen fill two crystal cups with golden liquid, and suddenly said: "Although I don't understand it very well, exchanging a dozen legions for the Royal Military Academy seems like a business.
It’s a bit of a loss.”
"It's not a loss at all. The superiors on both sides are watching. Sibia's disarmament is a non-negotiable matter, but the specific services and proportions have not been determined." Cohen put a crystal cup on the
In front of the crow, a faint aroma of wine floated: "The Royal Military Academy is not only a place to train officers, but also a place to ensure the morale and morale of the military. Therefore, we cannot abandon it."
"If the Royal Military Academy is so important, how could the two priests let it go?"
"Don't forget, they are priests. Even if these people are proficient in military affairs, they don't know my secret arrangements. In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how important the Royal Military Academy is, it can't be compared to a dozen or so meritorious legions, right? In fact, right?
, the establishment of the academy is the size of two legions, so what if we let it go without cutting it?" Cohen explained with a smile: "If you really want to cut the academy, you have to take the risk of offending me. In front of me, the backbone of the priest
She was born bent and cannot straighten up."
"So, do you really don't want these dozen or so legions?" Crow picked up the wine glass and asked slowly.
"Who said no? The main body of the army is soldiers, but the main body is not the most important. The important thing is the officer system, so I hid the officer system in military academies at all levels." Cohen replied: "As for the demobilized soldiers,
Naturally, someone arranged them in a relatively concentrated area, and they have all undergone strict training, and they do not have to fight under familiar commanders."
"If you reduce the army, the soldiers will not disappear. As long as it is done properly, this reduction of the army will hide the soldiers among the people for the elite army of Sbia. When it comes to a critical moment, the soldiers scattered among the people can be summoned with a call-up order.
By regrouping and cooperating with the retained and established officer system, the combat effectiveness will not be reduced much, but it will only cost more in terms of logistics and military expenditures."
"Sounds like a very troublesome matter." Crow commented lukewarmly: "If I had known this, it would be better not to fight."
"We fought and won, so what else can we do? We have to let others vent their anger, otherwise it will kill people." Cohen did not explain the necessity of the previous battle, but just followed the tone of the crow:
"It's not that I can't stand my ground, it's that the situation is very dangerous for Sibia - on the surface, I'm very prosperous now, and even the little princess of gods and demons accepted everything, but you also know the actual situation.
"Sir, I don't have any strength to fight. If it weren't for you, I would be in danger again this time."
"Speaking of which, what are your plans for these two little princesses?" Crow savored the taste of the tribute wine: "One is locked in a cage, and the other is kneeling in the palace, and they will never change again?"
"What else can we do? You also know the reason why they got married. Don't they just want to look at me and Sibia? If they are willing to leave, I will immediately hold a banquet to celebrate..." Cohen shook his head with a frown.
: "I don't have any stage fright when facing these two little princesses alone, but the power behind them is not something Sibia and I can compete with. If you don't see the will of the superior clan, Sibia will be roughly divided.
Is it three yuan? If they didn’t want a balance, I’m afraid there would have been a fight here.”
"But it's not difficult for you." Crow said: "You have always been dealing with the balance between gods and demons, so it should be fine."
"There is a prerequisite for dealing with the situation, and that is that the forces of the two superior clans are balanced. They also hope that the balance will remain balanced, and there will be no third-party forces to interfere." Cohen sighed: "But what is the situation now? Si
To some extent, Biya has become a third-party force that disturbs the balance. Speaking of which, this is because we are too inexperienced."
"Don't the gods and demons let the little princess get married because they hope to control Sbia's continued expansion through them?" Crow said, "This shows that the gods and demons still don't want the situation to change."
"This is just the thinking inertia of the upper clan. How long can it last in the harsh reality? It is very dangerous to rely on the preferences of the God King and the Demon King to maintain the situation. They will always wake up. Once they find that Sbia is different from their imagination
The retaliation will be more violent." Cohen is not optimistic about the crow's reasons: "And we haven't found anything that can divert their attention yet."
"Divert their attention?" Crow asked doubtfully, "Do you have any idea?"
"Everyone thinks that Taicheng's performance during this period is very weak. Yes, our response is indeed not very good, but under the eyes of the gods and demons, do we have any other options?" Cohen looked into the distance and stretched out his hand.
He clenched his fists in the air: "Actually, as long as you give me a short period of time, six months, no, three months, I can complete most of the preparations! But what is frustrating is that now I
There is no way to avoid their sight..."
"A very good wish." Crow nodded slightly and raised the wine glass in his hand to Cohen: "According to what you said before, if the gods and demons want to maintain a balanced situation, they must continue to weaken Sibia. I'm afraid if this continues, Sibia will
Biya will become increasingly difficult."
"There is always a way to solve it. As long as Cohen Keda is still there, Sibia will not be destroyed overnight." Cohen smiled self-deprecatingly: "Take your time, they will always relax.
When the time comes, that’s our opportunity to exploit every opportunity!”
"Instead of waiting," Crow said expressionlessly, "it would be more effective to let the gods and demons create variables."
"But we don't have such chips now." Cohen shook his head: "It's very dangerous to find chips now. If you don't do it right, it will bring disaster to Sibia. Just wait!"
"Although it is very troublesome, don't forget about me." Crow said, "I have already placed a deposit."
Of course Cohen knew what the crow was referring to, and the so-called deposits were weapons of unknown origin, so he nodded and comforted him, telling him not to be impatient.
After the crow tasted the wine, he left, leaving Cohen alone in the garden to think of a solution... It was getting late, and the garden was surrounded by soft magical light. A white hand picked up the wine bottle and poured it for Cohen.
The wine glass is filled with wine.
"Back?" Cohen looked up at Bai Ying: "Are they all okay over there?"
"Everything is fine over there." Bai Ying gently put down the wine bottle, and his every move was so calm and elegant: "What are you thinking about when you are sitting here alone?"
"Concerned about the country and the people." Cohen shrugged indifferently: "Don't you see?"
"It doesn't look like it. Rather than worrying about the country and the people, it's better to say that you are secretly plotting against someone." Bai Ying shook his head: "Why bother? Since you came to Ticheng, your spirit has become more and more gloomy.
Already."
"Gloomy? Is this a mature and prudent way of saying it?" A smile flashed across Cohen's face: "I know what you are thinking. You want to say that I won the world, but failed myself, right?"
"Although your true character is not serious, you are still a little better than you are now." Bai Ying nodded, agreeing with Cohen: "At least you don't have to be so heavy in front of some people. I don't think the matter in front of you is serious.
To that extent..."
"Who knows?" Cohen raised his head and let out a long sigh: "You have to use different methods with different people."
"The last time we asked the elders to find the location, it has been completed, and the drawings are also in it." Bai Ying certainly knew that he was not as good as Cohen in many aspects, but he still looked at him with some annoyance and put a package on the table.
Above: "But the elders who came back said that the place was quite dangerous and they almost had an accident. I advise you not to take risks easily."
"Really? I happen to have half a month of free time and I don't know how to spend it!" Cohen opened the package, took out the sheepskin map and looked at it, and after a long time he said softly: "It's really here, so I'll look for an opportunity to go there.
Let’s explore it…”
Whether the new situation that Cohen wants can be opened is still unknown, but in the next few days, in the Youshuang Palace, the corner that forms the core of Sbia began to show signs of instability.
With a seemingly peaceful attitude, the little demon princess tightened the net she had previously cast little by little. The net weaved with secret past events was very tough. In the contact day after day, Crow's whole body and mind had been
Slowly eroded, and although this current situation was not directly reflected in Crow's mood, when he was meditating, his eyes were not as calm as before.
The little princess who had an insight into the inside story of the temple undoubtedly used all her intelligence and wisdom to carry out the whole thing without being noticed by others. However, the pressure she put on the crow overtly and covertly was increasing, even though it was just a few words from time to time, even though it was just a few words.
Some subtle changes in eyes and expressions, but every attack can go straight to the crow's heart.
This subtle attack continued until she thought the crow could no longer bear it, and then she began to reveal a glimmer of hope to him. Not for any other reason, but because the little princess knew too much about crows. She knew that crows and crows
Like other human beings, they not only have fears but also hopes in their hearts. These two points are the most fatal flaws of crows!
The crow will never escape from her grasp.
"Where is Cohen Keda? I haven't seen him for several days. Although we are a couple in name, we still have to show up from time to time, okay?" Playing with the tableware in her hand, the little princess smiled at the person in front of her.
Crow said: "Is it because you are worried about what I will say in front of Cohen, so you try to avoid letting me see him? In this way, Cohen still cares about me..."
"Your whims and ignorance have reached a very dangerous level." The crow answered the little princess coldly: "He is preparing to go on vacation. It seems that this kind of thing does not need to be explained to you, right? Even in name, he has no such obligation.
.”
"It's a vacation. You are such a leisurely emperor. I also want to go on vacation. The years of being a caged bird are not fun." The little princess was very patient: "What about your Excellency? Do you also plan to take this opportunity to go on vacation?"
"No." Crow replied stiffly: "I don't need to take a vacation."
"Really not?" Aine Isabant raised her eyebrows slightly and lightly hinted: "You know, the answers to some things cannot be obtained by staying in the palace."
"I don't have the answer I'm looking for." The crow replied subconsciously.
"This is inconsistent with the information I have obtained. Maybe what you said is true." A seemingly sincere smile gently bloomed on Her Highness Aini's face, and her tone was more cautious than soft: "I still
I thought that you were driven by the priests of the Temple of Light because you wanted to get answers to certain questions from the priests..."
The little princess's gentle words sounded like thunder to the crow, and the frosty expression on his face suddenly cracked: "What did you say?"
"I just made it very clear, right? But since you deny it, it seems that I was wrong." The little princess fiddled with the teeth on the knife, not paying attention to the change in the crow's expression.
In his eyes: "Actually, I am just enthusiastic and want to do you a small favor."
"Tell me everything you know!" Crow's voice became a little deeper, and he casually placed his hands on both ends of the dining car. In his excitement, the surface of the metal dining car made a "pop!" sound, and he had already pulled it open.
crack!
"I don't have the answer you need here for the time being. I don't even know your question!" Seeing the crow's inconsistency, the little princess couldn't help but smile faintly: "But you don't have to worry, as long as the answer is
If you are willing to work hard to find it, you will definitely get it. You know, I am a very good guide!"
"What do you want?" This answer was very important to Crow. He looked at the little princess, his sharp eyes like a cold steel knife, scraping her skin inch by inch: "In exchange,
Say it and I will satisfy you!"
"I am imprisoned now, how can I have anything I want?" The little princess smiled more calmly. In fact, things went smoothly to such an extent that Her Highness Aini was very satisfied with her method: "Can I
What I do is just help you find the answer, and I have no intention of asking you to exchange it for anything else."
"Is it just like this?" In the face of sudden changes, everyone may lose an inch, but a crow is a crow after all. He took a slow breath and let his violent heartbeat gradually return to normal: "The next sentence of the little princess
If you say, 'Unfortunately, you need to go out of Youshuang Palace to find the answer,' then I can only take His Highness out of here, right?"
"If you continue to stay in Youshuang Palace, will the answer fall from the sky? Of course, taking me out of Youshuang Palace will be a dilemma for you, at least for Cohen Keda.
It's hard to explain." The little princess nodded and said very calmly: "But as long as you can overcome the temptation of the answer and endure it, you can pretend that you didn't hear what I said..."
"Endure..." This sentence was like a sharp needle, completely piercing the depths of the crow's soul. Without any excess, the crow stood upright from his sitting position in an instant!
With a bang, the dining car turned into metal debris flying all over the floor, and the surrounding light became distorted at this moment!
Even the little princess who was the instigator was frightened by Crow's reaction, thinking that he was going to do something bad to her. But she could only lean back a little, and Crow's palm had already made a small flat stroke in front of her. Sparks flew up, and nine thumb-thick black iron bars were neatly cut off by Dou Qi, and fell to the ground with a "clinking" sound.
Without waiting for any reaction from the little princess, Crow stepped into the cage, turned his wrist to seal the little princess's throat, and forcefully pulled her in front of him!
"I can't bear it..." The angry voice of the crow sounded like a thunderbolt in the Wangyou Pavilion: "I can't bear it for a moment!"
The murals on the wall, the carpet underfoot, and all the surrounding objects seemed to be being cut by thousands of knives at the same time. They were crumbling little by little. Even the surrounding walls began to peel off into large and small fragments... At this time, I forgot Youge seems to be a place where time flies by like lightning!
Aine Isabant's face was as ugly as gray stain. She was stung by the invisible fighting spirit permeating the crow, so that she couldn't even open her eyes. Her ears were buzzing from the roar of the crow. There was no trace of anything left. His calmness and cunningness? He wanted to speak, but his blocked throat could not make any sound. Only his pale lips opened and closed slightly... This can be regarded as self-inflicted!
The expression on Crow's face was changing violently, as if something in his body was about to break out and replace him. After a long time, his fingers relaxed a little, but his voice revealed a sound that penetrated deeply into the soul of the little princess. Senran: "Since you already know, you have to find the answer for me!"
Although the demons do not need to breathe all the time, the little princess was gasping for air, making a "hissing" sound in her throat, and her eyes could not tolerate anything except fear and panic!
"To find the answer, you must find the answer!" Under the power of the crow, the little princess could only nod her head repeatedly - compared with the current crow, what did Cohen Keda's madness on the day of the little princess's wedding count? This It has nothing to do with ability at all, but a purely spiritual feeling of suffocation. In the crow's pupils, nothing exists anymore!
With a sound of "Pa!", Her Royal Highness the little princess fell to the ground. The expression on Crow's face finally solidified as he let go of his hand, and he regained a little of his previous indifference. But in the little princess's view, this was undoubtedly the most satisfying thing. She felt kind and safe!
"Clean up." Crow slowly turned around, his eyes no longer looked so empty: "Leave now!"
"Out, out of the Two Palaces of Worry?" Frankly speaking, this way of leaving was very different from what the little princess had thought before, and it completely disrupted the rhythm: "You, how do you explain to Cohen Keda?"
The crow didn't even look at it, and moved his fingers diagonally behind her. The little princess felt a chill on her forehead, and the hair hanging in front of her eyes was neatly cut off from the middle of her eyebrows! This blow was more serious than before, and the little princess was stunned. , eyes of disbelief passed through the fallen broken hair, looking straight at the crow - he actually hurt the body of the dark demon so easily?
On the day of her wedding, the little princess gave up her abilities at Sibia's request, but as a dark demon, her characteristic of not being harmed by humans has always existed. Even if she was slapped by Cohen, her body itself would not be harmed. What is hurt is only the pride and dignity in the heart. But this crow, can he do this?
"Don't you want to go out?" Crow said, "I will take you away. There is no need to explain to anyone."
"But..." the little princess replied in shock: "I don't know the answer you want... I just said I can help you find it..."
"It doesn't matter, haven't you always wanted to find some answers in me? It just so happens that I also want to find some answers in you." The crow waved his hand, and the heavy door in the distance opened with a bang: "I said so, yes
Didn’t I disappoint you?”
"No, no..." When the crow said this, the little princess's body trembled involuntarily. She suddenly felt that the crow seemed to be another person now. No matter how he thought or dealt with things, it was completely different from the previous impressions and information.
Same!
"It's good that I'm not disappointed." Crow didn't care about what she was thinking. He turned his head impatiently and asked, "Do you want to wait for me to invite you again?"
"No, no need."
Under the pressure of the crow, Aine Isabant finally took this step tremblingly. Out of intuition, she felt that this cage was a safer place, and after taking this step, the front
There is something waiting for her, she has no idea. (To be continued)
