Chapter three hundred and eighty fifth with ulterior motives
As for the first batch, they are now larger than ordinary Andis giant eagles. Their wings have just begun to mature, and they have begun to cooperate with the Eternal Night Army's air flight brigade for preliminary training.
"Let me believe you for once." Sophia Liya is not greedy. Sean can take the initiative to give one to him because of the close relationship between the two parties, which gives him enough face.
If you are greedy, push for an extra mile, or be a little careless, you will lose your own face.
Anyway, if it is confirmed that Sean has such a good thing in his hand, she will have other ways to get it in the future, just like the black powder.
Sophilia said she was considering riding a black collar, but it actually took less than half a day before she nodded in agreement.
For those siblings who are quite different in age, the elder sister's affection for her younger brother will always be a little more intense than the younger brother's affection for her elder sister.
Because when my brother was still young and ignorant, my sister had already begun to invest her feelings in him.
People like Sophia Liya and Laurie who depend on each other naturally have a deeper level.
Sophia Liya attaches great importance to Laurie, but she just doesn’t know how to express it many times.
Knowing that the enemy might take advantage of Laurie, and not sure of Laurie's safety and true thoughts, she felt restless.
She nodded, and the rest was Sean's business.
Not only did Sean have to convince the black collar, he also had to plan a route and locate where Prince Laurie had gone.
What Sean told Sophia Liya about getting lost earlier was not just to scare her. Even in the air, she would get lost if she was not careful.
When you are in the sky, you realize how vast the world is.
There is no navigation tower or GPS positioning in this world. Everything can only rely on the naked eye and the brain.
When going back and forth between Valesta and the Evernight Army, Sean usually doesn't dare to fly around. It's not like he gets lost. He has experienced many detours.
In addition, it goes without saying that safety measures such as parachutes need to be prepared.
Even the saddle needs to be customized for two people.
After a series of preparations, a week has passed.
Fortunately, Archduke Buck is also waiting for his preparations to ferment. The pace of recent negotiations has not been too tight by the Kingsley family. There were only two meetings a week, and it was the people below who were competing.
Not to mention Sophia Liya as the referee, even the two parties involved, Sean and Archduke Buck, were not present, so how could they possibly reach an agreement? It was just talk.
Both sides know that when the negotiations have reached this point, whatever concessions the other party has made have been forced out by them. Nothing can be achieved by just arguing with empty words. Now both of them are biding their time.
The Yong Ye Army leaders wanted to survive until the Kingsley family's Eastern Army ran out of ammunition and food, so they had to accept their conditions.
The Kingsley family wants to survive until the pressure from the foreign aid they have invited reaches a certain level, so that the leader of the Yongye Army will relent.
It’s really hard to tell who will win and who loses before time is up.
This situation provided a lot of convenience for Sophia Liya and Sean to escape.
In full view of everyone, Sean mounted the black collar and returned to the direction of the Evernight Army.
In fact, he walked around in a circle and secretly returned to a remote manor outside the royal capital.
Sophilia left the things in the palace to Three Roses, and claimed to go to the Virgin Women's Monastery for a week of retreat. After dressing up, she secretly went to the manor to meet Sean.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be made public. The only person who really knows Sophilia's whereabouts this time is the royal family's Three Roses.
In fact, the Three Roses of the royal family strongly opposed this trip.
By doing this, Sophia Liya put her life in Sean's hands.
It is true that the leader of the Yongye Army is now the closest ally of the Princess Regent, but people's hearts are so far apart, who knows if there are other plans within the leader of the Yongye Army.
But Sophilia is also famous for her temper, as you can tell by her nickname - Iron Princess.
This Iron Princess has both a heart of stone and an iron fist.
Once she makes a decision, it's hard for anyone to change it.
This time she was very determined, at least Three Roses couldn't change her decision.
"Please sit tight and hold on tight. We are about to take off. Black Collar's exclusive flight will serve you wholeheartedly. Next, there will be a seven-day round trip tour to the plains of Asia Minor." Sean said seriously.
"What weird things are you talking about again?" Sophia Liya rolled her eyes at Sean angrily, "Hurry up, our time is very tight."
"As you wish, my princess." Sean turned to Sophia Liya and said, "Please hold my waist tightly, the take-off process is not smooth."
"You don't have to worry about it, just do your thing." The regent princess had no intention of obeying Sean's arrangement, she just held on to the saddle armrest a little awkwardly.
"Let's go." Sean didn't say much. He patted the black collar's neck, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It looked like he had bad intentions no matter what.
I don’t know if Black Collar understood what Sean meant, or if he was still dissatisfied with having an outsider on his back.
This takeoff was quite violent.
After gaining a little speed, I raised my neck sharply and climbed at a high speed with an inclination of 60 or 70 degrees.
"Ah!" Caught off guard, Sophia Liya was thrown backwards.
However, Sophilia was not the kind of weak and weak princess. When she could just ride a pony, she followed Archduke Cedric to the battlefield. When she was twelve years old, she had already drawn her sword to kill the enemy.
.
Although she has been away from the battlefield these years, she has never left behind her daily practice. This is the basic quality of a qualified leader in this world. They are always preparing for the battlefield, otherwise they will easily lose their nickname.
Don't use the leader of the Eternal Night Army to judge ordinary noble noble families.
It is true that Sean only has the title of baron in the Byron Alliance, but the military strength of the Yongye Army has been able to compete with the Kingsley family, a grand ducal family, and the victory is within grasp. Who would look at the ordinary baron family again?
Looking at them, they are huge fools, waiting to suffer the same losses as the Kingsley family.
Not to mention normal baron families, even many viscount families only have three or five guardian knights. That is a common thing. Whether you can have a high knight of your own family depends on luck.
Under such circumstances, it is common for lords and nobles to go to the battlefield in person.
As for those who got into the position by chance, they have a greater chance of being eliminated. A small border conflict may kill them, or even lose the entire family inheritance.
Putting aside all kinds of bizarre methods, in terms of personal strength alone, Sophia Liya is probably still above Sean.
Although Sean has never seen Sophilia take action, he knows that the other party is a warlock, a warlock with a high level of cultivation, not only her, but also Prince Laurie.
In fact, all the grand duke families have more or less the inheritance of warlock blood. Even if they do not originally have it, in the long history of development, they will find ways to let their families have it. Marriage is only a conventional method. As for unconventional methods——
How do you think the slave trade of awakened warlocks started?
In the beginning, these princely families were the ones in greatest demand.
In any business, there must first be demand before there is a market.
Even the witch-hunting campaign of the Holy Ether Church is inextricably linked to this.
In the beginning, those nobles and nobles used the name of hunting witches to capture them and turn them into their own fertility tools.
As time goes by, after their family's warlock bloodline has gradually stabilized, hunting has gradually changed its flavor, and witches have been unknowingly demonized and labeled evil.
Later, it became a political tool for the development and growth of the Saint Ether Church.
Because only when they have enemies can they develop force in an upright manner.
It was just that the world was peaceful at that time, and even the Odin Empire fell into an unprecedented weak state due to division.
If there is no enemy, then one must be artificially created. Those witches who have been demonized are the best targets.
I saw Sophia Liya push hard, her slender waist burst out with unequal strength, and she suddenly hugged Sean's waist.
Sean kept holding on to the saddle handle tightly, clinging to Black Collar's back with great experience.
"Be gentle, be gentle, if you push harder, you will break my waist." Sean felt that what was hugging him was not a pair of catkins, but iron arms made of steel, which were shrinking constantly. He seemed to
He could hear his own internal organs moaning, and he hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Be honest, did you do it on purpose?" Sophia raised her eyebrows, with a hint of anger in her beautiful amber eyes. She didn't like the feeling of being teased.
"I've already reminded you to hug me tightly. Although I was forced to persuade you to wear the black collar, my temper is still there and it needs a few days to get used to." Sean looked innocent and shied away all the blame.
Fortunately, Black Collar is smart, but he is not yet to the point where he understands framing things, otherwise he would definitely be tempted to give Sean another blow.
"Stop playing such little tricks, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Sophia Liya threatened.
But the hands holding Sean's waist did not let go even after the black collar returned to flying stably.
"Your Highness, please look down." Xiao En stopped as soon as he saw fit. To do this was already the limit. Once he made Sophia Liya angry, he would get twice the result with half the effort. To deal with such a strong woman, it would be absolutely impossible.
Don't be too hasty.
Although she is usually carefree, when it comes to relationships, she tends to hesitate and her IQ drops to negative. She may even bury her head in the sand like an ostrich, unwilling to look directly into her heart.
Sean had gotten what he wanted, and his small actions just now verified one thing, that is, Sophia Liya did not reject him in her heart.
Maybe Sophia Liya herself is not aware of this, but her subconscious actions cannot deceive others.
Otherwise, according to Sophia Liya's temperament, there would be no chance for Sean to get involved.
In fact, Sean's temptation was somewhat redundant.
He should have figured it out when he was in the tower.
After all, Sophia Liya didn't explode on the spot and twist off Sean's head.
After that, Sophia Liya didn't even talk about it, she just acted as if it had never happened.
But facts are facts, and they will not disappear by pretending that they did not happen.
It is like a seed, fermenting in the hearts of both parties.
"So beautiful!" Sophia Liya exclaimed sincerely.
Looking down from a high altitude, the world has a different view.
Distance will cover up all kinds of filth, leaving only shock and beauty.
Valesta, the brightest pearl of the Byron League, was beneath them at this moment.
Buildings with distinct styles and neat streets, the citizens of Valesta have turned into little ants, busy among them.
The busiest ones now should be the two satellite port cities of Valesta, where countless merchant ships flying the flag of the Evernight Army, the flag of the Princess Regent, and the flag of the Royal Lancelot are coming in and out, and they are loaded with all kinds of goods.
Come here, load Valesta's goods and then transport them away. Even at night, the place is brightly lit and a busy scene.
The goods shipped from outside are unloaded here, reloaded, and moved bit by bit to Valesta by the distributors, like ants moving.
When these goods enter Valesta, it is like entering the belly of a monster. It will be scraped clean in less than a day.
The abnormal prosperity makes the citizens here always in a state of extreme hunger for various commodities.
This hunger and thirst were stimulated to the extreme by the various new commodities brought by the Yongye Army, because before this, they never knew that life could become so convenient, food could become so delicious, and clothes could be so luxurious.
Knowledge can be so easily acquired...and when they get used to this kind of life, they can never go back.
Busyness is the most beautiful scenery in the world, and it always makes people never tire of it.
Compared to Sean, Sophia Liya looked down at the city and had a different feeling.
This is not only the city where she was born and raised, but also the city she rules. Its rise and fall are in her hands.
So far, she's doing pretty well.
It is running wildly on a more prosperous road.
She firmly believes this.
Macroscopic scenes are always more likely to arouse people's pride and pride, and Sophia Liya is no exception. The scene in front of her made her excited, but she had nowhere to vent.
"Ahhhh..." Sean suddenly roared loudly, startling Sophia Liya.
"What are you doing?" Sophia couldn't help but asked curiously.
"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly, please speak louder." Sean asked loudly.
"I asked you what are you doing?" Sophia Liya raised her voice.
"Speak louder, we are in headwind now, your voice is blown away." Sean said half-seriously.
Sophia seemed to realize that Sean was causing trouble again. She suddenly stood up, put her mouth to his ear, and yelled: "I asked you what are you doing?"
The warm and moist breath followed Sean's ear holes and went straight into his heart.
Sean kept saying: "I heard it, I heard it. If you speak louder, it will deafen my ears."
"You asked for it." Sophilia showed a proud smile like a little girl who succeeded in playing a prank.
But she didn't see that there was a scheming smile flashing across Sean's lips, "It feels good to do this, you can try it, it feels like something is vomiting out of your chest."
"Really or not?" When she spoke again, Sophia couldn't help but stand up like before, and spoke into Sean's ear. If anything starts, the rest will happen naturally.
I think there is something wrong.
Sophia Liya, the person involved, naturally didn't know how ambiguous their current actions were, as she was already half-climbing on Sean's back.
"If you don't believe me, you can try it." Sean was happy to enjoy this atmosphere, so naturally he would not point it out stupidly, "Anyway, is there a third person here? No one will use the princess's dogma to hinder you."
"Then let me give it a try?" Sophia Liya looked eager to give it a try. What really touched her was Sean's words, "No one will use the Princess Dogma to hold you back now."
Sean, who had conducted an in-depth study of Sophia Liya's past actions, knew very well that there was a rebellion in her bones, a rebellion that broke the constraints. Naturally, her status as a princess was also a constraint.
Others only see the noble status of the princess, but do not see the hard work behind it.
This kind of hard work does not refer to responsibilities and workload, but is integrated into every move of daily life.
Everything you say and do, whether you smile or get angry, must conform to the etiquette of the palace.
