Sean hid his arm under his cloak without leaving any trace. It was trembling involuntarily, and the bulging blood vessels on it still failed to dissipate.
The champion knight is not that easy to deal with, especially the leapfrog challenge.
Sean had just used not only the power of the bear on the enchanted arm armor, but also the secret technique (the power of magic to stimulate the body), a double bonus, to compete with Phillip in terms of strength.
The consequences of doing so are even greater than simply using secret techniques.
Using enchanted equipment puts less physical burden on the body, but that doesn't mean there is no burden at all.
The Evernight Army has strict regulations regarding the use of enchanted equipment.
Only knights who pass the test can be qualified.
In addition to the fact that the knight's thoughts are more powerful and it is easier to drive the enchanted equipment to exert its power, it is also for the protection of the user.
To a certain extent, enchanted equipment uses power that one does not possess originally, which can easily exceed the physical load and is extremely dangerous.
It's like a baby suddenly possesses adult strength and speed, but ends up breaking his own bones and tendons before he can hurt anyone.
The knights who have undergone rigorous training are far superior to ordinary people in terms of physical fitness and toughness.
But knights also have their own limits. After precise testing by the Biological Anomaly Research Institute, a junior knight must not use more than two enchanted equipment at the same time, and a peak knight must not use more than three pieces.
Otherwise, it may cause irreversible and permanent damage to the body at best, or even lead to death.
Sean, who is a warlock, has more methods than ordinary knights. When the enchanted equipment is activated, he uses the power of magic to further stimulate the body and form a superimposed effect, achieving the goal of one plus one being greater than two.
The side effects are of course additive.
The poor Sean has long had a glimpse of the secret of the champion knight. In the past few years, he has been immersed in the ocean of magical power. Ordinary stones and wood will undergo unusual qualitative changes when soaked in this high concentration of magical power.
, let alone a human being.
Sean could clearly notice that his body was different from before. This change was not reflected in substantial data such as strength and speed.
But it is a deeper level, which is a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
It was as if an invisible shackle had been struck and a gap opened, making it easier for him to peek into a deeper realm.
It is a bit premature to say this. There is no shortcut to cultivation. If you want to peek into a higher level, you must first become a champion knight.
But there are other benefits, that is, the resistance to magical power, the physical endurance and self-regeneration capabilities have reached an astonishing level, and can compete with the champion knight.
What would be a fatal injury to an ordinary knight would only hurt him for a while, and he would soon recover on his own.
Correspondingly, appetite increases greatly, especially when injured.
The body's self-healing ability is not based on thin air, but requires high energy consumption to support it.
Sean was very experienced in this, so he took out a few highly nutritious and high-energy jelly beans and threw them into his mouth without leaving any trace.
Of course, we don't expect the energy they provide to repair injuries. No matter how strong our body's digestion capabilities are, it won't have an immediate effect like special medicines.
In this case, the body will give priority to using the body's reserve energy. This is purely to suppress the upcoming super hunger.
Sean is not the kind of person who likes to swallow his anger. At this moment, he is thinking about how to give Phillip a knife in the next negotiation. For this kind of person, the loss of profits is more difficult than the physical pain.
Bear.
The four-party meeting started in this not-so-pleasant atmosphere.
"Since the year 367 of the Byron calendar, the Manyu military leader has unfortunately been involved in the war. Due to the war, the territory has been torn apart, the fields are barren, the business has declined, and the people in the territory have been displaced. If this continues, even if the Jacob River flows again, here will be
It is still in ruins. It is time to end the war and redevelop our homeland..."
The opening remarks made by Princess Sophia herself set the tone for this meeting.
"Your Highness, I deeply agree with your proposal." Philip cleared his throat and said, "But I have a question that I need your Highness to help answer."
"Speaking."
"Since we are discussing the matter of the Manyu military leader, why did we invite the Andis people?" Philip deliberately emphasized, "Don't get me wrong, General Sean. I am not targeting you, but I really don't understand."
"This question should be answered by me as the client."
Sean took the initiative to take over the conversation and thought to himself, this is the right way to open it. The previous posture made me think that the intelligence collection was wrong.
"First of all, I want to make it clear that the Yongye Group Army has officially sworn allegiance to Her Royal Highness the Princess this morning. In other words, we are not participating in this meeting as Andis people, but as subordinates of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"
"Secondly, we come with good intentions. The Manyu Army is in dire straits and is short of supplies. In this regard, we can do our best."
"Oh? Are you so kind? Aren't you prepared to help the people led by the Manyu army to rebuild their homes for free?" Philip asked a little harshly.
"In business, we can only promise to sell you all kinds of urgently needed supplies at the lowest price." Sean frowned unnoticeably. This guy was obviously a bit messy, and he didn't look like a qualified heir at all. He should ask.
problem.
"Humph, I don't want to take advantage of the situation." Philip snorted.
"If we follow what the Viscount said, we shouldn't export goods to you." Sean laughed angrily. Does this guy have any political acumen? He just praised his insidiousness and cunning in his heart, and now he said such stupid things.
Come on.
When he said these words, Sean had already turned to look at the regent Princess Sophia. Had they communicated in advance?
Based on Philip's current attitude, there is no need to continue this meeting, and it is impossible to reach any agreement.
When Phillip came in, he at least tried to test it out with himself. He didn't talk to his half-sister Angie Beina, and treated each other as nothing.
Obviously the conflict between them is more serious.
The Princess Regent's brows were raised imperceptibly. Apparently Philip's behavior was a bit beyond her expectation. He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, the Viscount, seems to have some misunderstanding. How can you take advantage of something that is beneficial to both parties?"
Since you accepted the invitation and traveled thousands of miles to come here, you must have something you want to talk about, but if you want to talk, you must show the sincerity you want to talk about."
At the end, Sophilia's tone couldn't help but become a bit harsh, "If you are able to complete the unification of Manyu's military leadership, we can withdraw. In this case, you don't need to be subject to any political coercion. I want to
If you want us to enter, we must make concessions in our interests, and we have no obligation to help you for free, His Excellency Viscount Philip."
Sean couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning, and had a deeper understanding of Sophia Liya's strong style. This is to flip the table if they don't agree with each other. If you don't want to talk, then there is no need to talk, and they will break up.
But I have to say, this feeling is really refreshing, especially seeing Phillip's handsome face that is a little distorted but has to endure it, it is even more refreshing than drinking a big bowl of sour plum soup in the dog days of summer.
Phillip's expression changed several times, but he finally failed to get up and walk away.
The Princess Regent has strong qualifications, but he does not.
What the other party said sounded ugly, but it was absolutely the right thing to say.
To forge iron, you have to be strong yourself. If you don't have enough military power, your own clamor is just a clown, and anyone can step on it.
Philip was silent for a long time, and finally lowered his noble head and said: "Sorry, I overreacted just now, let's officially start."
"I hope your Excellency, the Viscount, will not make such mistakes again. We are all adults, so don't make childish excuses and embarrass everyone." Sean replied in a nonchalant manner.
"Don't worry, General Sean, I will control myself next time and won't let something like this happen again." Philip replied expressionlessly.
Regardless of whether it was Philip's conscious temptation or simply losing control of his emotions, Philip ended in failure.
The regent princess was still the legendary Iron Princess, with a strong enough hand that didn't leave him much room for maneuver. He could either follow her pace or break up.
The other party could afford the loss, but Philip had no other choice.
The nature of the four-party meeting is somewhat different from the private meeting between the Princess Regent and the Yongye Army. This is a meeting that sets the general tone.
Therefore, the Princess Regent did not pretend to be someone else. Instead, as the host of this meeting, she directly said: "Patram is a power thief. Although his reputation is not justified, his strength is undoubted.
, we cannot do this alone, we must unite."
"Limited by the oath, the royal family cannot easily intervene in the succession dispute of the Grand Duke's family. Moreover, once the royal family sends troops on a large scale, the Holy See will have a reason to enter on a large scale. At that time, it will only make the situation worse. In terms of the army, it is still needed
Viscount Philippe and Countess Angelberna worked together to achieve this."
Having said this, the regent princess Sophilia swept her eyes over the two of them. Although she was still delicate, she had a unique edge, as if she was waiting for your answer.
Anji Beina's smile was as delicate and pure as a little white flower, and she said sweetly: "As long as my dear brother has no problem, I have no problem, Your Highness Princess."
Sweet yet poisonous, this answer is far more classy than a direct nod.
Sean, who was watching on the wall, stared at Philip with interest, trying to get a glimpse of his deeper character from his body movements and reactions.
This guy's personality has changed several times in just a few minutes since meeting him. Is this his disguise? Or is he born this way?
If it's the latter, things will be more interesting.
Phillip raised his eyebrows. The objection came to his lips and was suppressed by him. His brows were knitted into a ball, as if he had used great perseverance to hold back a sentence from his mouth, "Me too."
No problem."
"Lord Viscount, please think carefully before answering. Your Highness the Princess was talking about working together just now." Before the Princess Regent could speak, Sean took the opportunity to interject, "Do you need me to explain the meaning of working together? It means working together, not
We must recognize the legitimate status of Countess Angie Beina..."
"That's enough." Viscount Philip was furious, "How can a title conferred by the false power of regicide and patricide have a legal status? She is also a conspirator. If she does not behead her in public, it is not enough to uphold the law of the country and not enough for the people to be angry.
.”
At the end of the sentence, she was hoarse and looked at Angie Beina with eyes that seemed to burst out of fire, as if she was about to pounce.
Angie Beina sat firmly in her seat, and even the smile on her face did not change at all. On the contrary, General Christopher, who had been standing beside her with his sword pressed, took a step forward and stood beside her, offsetting part of the pressure.
Sean, who had successfully provoked Viscount Philip, returned to watching from the sidelines, as if he had nothing to do with it.
The entire conference room fell into silence, except for Phillip's heavy breathing.
The Princess Regent's eyes flickered for a moment, and after a while she finally opened her mouth and said, "The meeting will be suspended for ten minutes. We will wait for His Excellency the Viscount to calm down before continuing. I will go out and take a breath."
The Princess Regent turned around and walked out of the cabin. When passing by Sean, she gave him a lost look.
Sean knew it well and slipped out with both feet.
"What happened just now? Why did you deliberately anger Viscount Philip?" There was a hint of uncontrollable anger in the Princess Regent's tone.
She had spent a lot of effort to bring about this four-party meeting, and Sean's actions just now were obviously to undermine her.
"You ask me what's going on, should I ask you what's going on? Don't you feel that His Excellency the Viscount's behavior is abnormal?"
Sean's face was full of doubts. Is he the only one who feels that there is something wrong with the behavior pattern of His Excellency Viscount Philip, the first heir to the Manyu Army?
"I don't have time to play charades with you. If you have any questions, just ask." The regent princess Sophia Liya was a little angry, obviously not liking Sean's roundabout way of speaking.
"From the moment we met until now, in just a few minutes, he has changed his behavior several times, and his ability to control his emotions is extremely poor. I think there is something wrong with him." Sean pointed to his head.
He also knew that time was tight, so he kept his story short and directly threw out his doubts. In the end, he couldn't help but complain: "Have you ever met before and had the same behavior? How on earth did such a guy get here now?"
Name?"
The Princess Regent frowned and thought for a while and said: "Viscount Philip, today is indeed a bit unusual. We have had two relationships before, but one was at the canonization ceremony and the other was at the Broken Blood Castle. We did not have a close relationship."
"I have already told you that Philip is not a qualified partner. If you still don't believe it, you have seen it now. All members of the Phelan family are lunatics. This guy is a paranoid and has severe mysophobia.
Those who can't bear to join forces with me have already reached the limit of turning a blind eye to my neutrality. It's even harder to get them to recognize my legal status than to reach the sky."
Angie Beina also slipped out at some point.
"Are you scolding yourself too? You are also from the Faerun family." Sophia Liya said angrily.
