Rawls looked at King Karl VII of Lundberg with some surprise. His short sentence was very misleading. If it were another person, he might think that the old king deliberately cooperated with the alliance.
The proposer was changed from Rawls to Pope Albert.
But if you point it out rashly or ridicule it with words, you will fall into a trap. Karl VII can definitely say that he supports the Pope’s idea of deepening cooperation now. But if you don’t point it out, then what Rawls proposed before the war
Part of the credit for "predictive" advice has been wiped out.
This is the most troublesome argument in defense. If the judge and jury do not understand the meaning of the words and the lawyer points it out, the judge and jury will think that the lawyer is making a fuss out of a molehill and is too sensitive, creating a negative impression.
"Yes, if there is no war, then the alliance I proposed can be postponed at will. But now that the war is coming, we have no other choice. Only by cooperating with the alliance can we repel Fenebot's army."
Although this is not in a court, Albert Mendoza, who serves as "judge and jury", is an angel known for his wisdom. Rawls still "defends" in the way of a "lawyer", and reiterates that
After the alliance made its own prophetic proposal, it blamed Lundborg for delaying the alliance process.
In fact, the alliance is not that important to Lundborg. Of course, the premise is that there is no war. Among the countries in Central and South China, Lundborg has the strongest overall strength and borders the weakest Sehgal. If there is an alliance, the responsibilities will be greater.
A lot, but not much benefit.
This is why Rawls's previous corrupt countries wanted to leave the EU. Unless the most powerful country really shamelessly exploits alliance members and only abides by terms that are beneficial to itself, otherwise over time, the losses will outweigh the gains.
In the eyes of Karl VII, the alliance is beneficial to Ma Xi. Among the central and southern countries, Ma Xi is not bordered by other countries, but has the same culture and roots. It is a peripheral country, so it relies more on the Kingdom of Loen in many aspects.
Once the alliance is established, Naremberg and Sehgal will not be able to "squeeze out" Ma Xi as usual.
King Ferdinand IV of Sehgal seemed unaware of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two kings. He stroked his beard and said with a smile that he also agreed to cooperate.
The three kings all agreed to the cooperative alliance, but they only agreed to this point. If they were not satisfied with any of the specific rules, the cooperation might not be finally achieved.
The most important one is naturally the leader of the alliance. At this point, King Sehgal, who has a beard and a rough facial profile, was the first to raise his hand to indicate that he would withdraw from the competition on behalf of Sehgal.
King Karl VII of Lundborg also changed from his original style and seemed to want to speak frankly.
"I don't think Ma Xi has the ability to compete with Lundborg right now.
“First, from a geographical point of view, Marsi is a certain distance from Lemberg and Segar, and there is also the Feneport territory in the middle, which is very unfavorable for cooperation.
“Second, in terms of comprehensive strength, Lundborg, as the strongest country among the Central and Southern countries, is qualified and capable to lead the cooperative alliance and provide help to its member countries.
"Third, Lundborg is the seat of the church headquarters and the pillar of faith for tens of millions of people in Central and Southern countries. If it were Ma Xi, the people would lose confidence in the alliance, which would be a fatal blow to us who are at war.
.”
The gray-haired Karl VII has a deep but powerful voice, not unlike an old man in his early sixties.
"Papa pa pa"
Facing the sonorous and powerful words of Karl VII, Rawls naturally did not hesitate to applaud and applauded with a smile on his face.
"I very much agree with your idea, but..." Rawls's smile faded, "The premise is that this was before the war, and the premise is that we are not at war. At that time, there was no problem with what you said. But now
Not any more"
He raised his right palm and stopped Karl VII who wanted to speak.
"Now we are preparing for the alliance because of the war, so the first priority after the alliance is naturally to deal with the war?"
Albert and the projection of Ferdinand IV on the wall nodded together, and even Karl VII nodded after hesitating.
"Then, the advantages of Lundborg just mentioned have all turned into disadvantages!"
Rawls raised his index and middle fingers, tapped the table, and reminded:
"Right now, Lemburg is in the middle of a war. The Feneport army is only two hundred kilometers away from here. In other words, it is only a matter of time before the army comes to Azshara, and there is no geographical advantage at all. As for strength, in Feneport
It’s nothing in front of me.
"As for the issue of people's beliefs, when the land of Lunberg is ravaged by the Fenebors in the future, it will make the people lose their confidence in resistance, and it will also make the people of Masi and Segar have a pessimistic attitude, which will essentially destroy the alliance.
.”
This kind of statement makes no sense, and both arguments are valid. But Rawls must say it, but he cannot just say this.
"In addition, if Lundborg becomes the leader of the alliance, I am afraid that some forces from Ma Xi and Segal will need to be mobilized immediately to resist Fenebaud, right?"
"If you don't do this, it will be difficult for Lundborg to persist." Karl VII could only reply.
"The people of Masik and Sehgal may be pessimistic about the alliance. They are safe now. But if Masik becomes the leader, there will be no problem in providing assistance, and the people's worries will be much less."
Fenebaud has only attacked Lemberg now, and is still taking a wait-and-see attitude towards Masi and Segar, which gives Rawls many excuses. People always have a sense of luck, and most people will have the hope that Fenebaud may
Just Lundborg's idea.
"More importantly, Ma Xi has a natural advantage in the war. It is not the main target of Feneport's army, and it borders Loen, so it can get enough assistance from Loen..."
At this time, Karl VII suddenly spoke and interrupted Rawls:
"Run? Do you know what kind of reply we got from the official letter we sent? Is Lun still capable of assisting us now?"
"Of course, compared to you, I know the current internal attitude of Loen better." Rawls spread his hands, "After all, my queen is the eldest princess of Loen, and the two parties are related by marriage. Loen will never give up.
It is in their interest to provide us with assistance."
Having said this, Rawls closed his mouth and looked like this is all I can say.
There was silence in the conference room. Karl VII exchanged glances with King Ferdinand IV of Segall from time to time. As for Albert Mendoza, he had closed his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, the silence was broken.
"Ferdinand and I can admit your idea, but the alliance will only last within the war, and it must end when the war ends." This is what Karl VII must insist on.
"no problem."
Rawls agreed simply. As long as he became the King of Loen, he did not want to be the leader of the Central and Southern Kingdoms.
…
Above the gray-white mist that spreads beyond sight, it looks like an ancient palace where the gods live.
Channels of crimson light shot up on both sides of the long bronze table, solidifying into the figures of the mold lakes.
"Justice" Audrey immediately stood up, raised her skirt, and saluted to the top:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
Her mood was not low, but so many things that had happened recently made it impossible for her to whisper like she used to. After the members finished their salutes and sat down, Audrey glanced at them and began to make observations out of habit.
Almost instantly, she discovered that Ms. "Hermit's" mental state and body language showed that she was worried about something.
Something to do with the recent war?
Audrey thought of the discussion that Susie heard in the study. In order to avoid a larger-scale war and allow Rune to temporarily have room for detours, the newly formed war cabinet made the first decision yesterday not to surrender to its allies.
Lemberg, Sehgal, and Maxi provided military assistance on the surface, but only secretly provided military supplies in exchange for food.
At the same time, with the current strength of the central and southern countries, they are unable to resist Fenebaud's army, so Roen will use money to hire a large number of pirates to harass Fenebaud's east coast and try to contain Fenebaud's energy as much as possible.
Delay the war until next year.
In other words, the war has spread to the sea, and even pirates are joining the war.
But Audrey immediately knew that her guess was wrong, because Ms. "Hermit" submitted an entire diary, and her worries must be related to the "Mysterious Queen".
When everyone was extremely shocked, the "hermit" Cattleya had already asked two questions, but before she could digest the information that the emperor's last mausoleum might be in the abyss, she heard the voice of Mr. "Emperor"
.
"Ms. Hermit, I have a task to entrust to you."
"Mission?" Cattleya was a little surprised. One of them was a senior member of MI9 and the other was a pirate general. How could they be involved in the mission?
"The Hanged Man" Alger was also a little surprised. Although he had been informed by the church that Roen was going to hire pirates to attack the coast of Feneport. As a pirate captain, he wanted to contact those pirates. But he didn't expect that the "Emperor" would even
The strength of the pirate general level is taken into account.
Normally speaking, pirate generals, especially those who are qualified to call themselves "admirals", can be compared with a small fleet, especially in this kind of harassment battle, the latter cannot compare with pirate generals.
"Yes, hiring you and your pirate ship to attack and harass Fenebaud is a long-term mission."
Unaware of the secret, "Moon" Emlyn, "Magician" Forsi, and "Star" Leonard looked at each other in confusion.
Klein had already known this news from "Justice", but he did not believe that Mr. "Emperor" only had this plan. Two days ago, he saw "King of the Five Seas" Nast and "King of the Five Seas" Nast near the Sea of Mist.
Her "Black Emperor".
What is the Tamara family planning?
"I can't accept this task." Cattleya shook her head. She was worried that there was something wrong with the Queen. She couldn't accept such a time-consuming and too far away task.
Rawls didn't take it seriously either, and turned to look at "The Hanged Man" Alger:
"You must have received a similar mission?"
"Well, I just didn't consider the pirate generals..." Alger nodded.
At this time, "Justice" also explained it to several members who didn't understand the problem.
"Star" Leonard frowned and asked in confusion:
"Why do you do this? Lundborg is our ally, this will definitely arouse their confusion."
Alger glanced at him and did not explain. Instead, he continued to ask a question:
"According to my observation, the Church of Storms is not too active in this war."
Most of the members have focused their attention on "The Hanged Man". With Miss Justice's explanation just now, they can all understand Roen's difficulties, but this does not mean that the Church of Storms is not active in responding to the war. Could it be that the Church of Storms is not actively responding to the war? Is it possible to fight back against Fusac?
Anyone else have any questions?
But obviously, Alger was unable to give an explanation, and Gehrman Sparrow, the "world", responded:
"At present, this is a necessity. 'Storm', 'Sun', 'Spectator', 'Reader' and 'Secret Prayer' are similar paths. So are 'Night', 'God of War' and 'Death'. And
People with similar paths often become enemies. Of course, this is not absolute. At least the Seven Gods have established an alliance."
"Haha, in fact, this matter also involves Adam." Rawls attracted everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.
What does the "Emperor" want? Klein frowned slightly. He naturally knew this, but considering that most members of the Tarot Society were still below the level of demigods, knowing too much would be dangerous.
"Mr. Fool said that Adam is one step closer to the throne of God, which also means that she is about to become a true god. There is only one ritual left, and the current war is part of her ritual. Obviously, the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun and
Neither the God of Knowledge nor Wisdom wants her to become a god."
Rawls was somewhat restrained, but it still caused quite a stir among Tarot Club members.
In the beginning, the "Emperor", who was powerful and had a high status in reality, naturally occupied an important position in the Tarot Club. This did not change even after Ms. "Hermit" joined. But as Mr. "World"
With the improvement of strength and the exposure of the identity of the scroller, the importance gradually becomes almost the same as that of Mr. "Emperor".
As for some secrets, such as those involving true God, angels, and the Creator, "The World", as the holder of Mr. "Fool", is undoubtedly the most authoritative. And Mr. "Emperor" also behaves in a similar way on related issues.
Like most members, there is nothing special about them and they rarely talk about it.
Adam's becoming a god ceremony, the thoughts of the three righteous gods, this kind of thing should not be pointed out by Mr. "Fool", but should be explained by Mr. "World", and certainly not by Mr. "Emperor".
This is not because the members of the Tarot Club think that Mr. "Emperor" is not as good as Mr. "Mr. World", but it is an issue involving the gods. Without corresponding blessings, it can easily cause huge troubles. Adam and the organization she established,
The ability of "whatever is said will be known" still makes them fearful, and they need to rely on hypnosis to avoid being discovered.
