As the words of the female sultan Fatima fell, several guards wearing dark elf-style fine plate armor covered with barbs grinned and walked towards the envoy.
"You would take it for granted that humans are arrogant and stupid. otbnkotgt "Oh, right?"
After hearing what he said, the female Sultan Fatima said incredulously.
Then he waved his hand casually.
The dark elf guards then retreated silently.
At the same time, cold sweat broke out from the messenger's back and soaked his clothes.
"Then, I'll give you another five minutes."
Sultan Fatima smiled.
"Because your biggest enemy on the sea has fallen into chaos.
All the attention of the Lombards is focused within the empire.
They have no strength to embarrass the Ottomans anymore.
In other words, your navy now wants to fight Fight wherever you go.”
"Oh" Female Sultan Fatima smiled: "That's a reason.
But it's just a reason.
Let's not say whether your news is correct.
Even if it is correct, I don't have any other options. , there is no other goal.
My army can indeed go north and annex Tronica, but it can also go south, west, and east.
Your reason is not a good reason."
"The Berber pashas in the south are indeed annoying, but after all, they are vassals of the empire, at least in name.
And then, the desert areas of northern Africa have little value to be honest.
And the Berbers The strength is not weak.
Even if it can be defeated, there will be many casualties.
At the same time, in the west, the Lombards, across the sea from the empire, were indeed a powerful enemy.
The Lombardy Peninsula is also very rich.
Yet that was the core area of the empire.
If His Majesty really wants to fight, let alone whether he can win.
Even if the battle could be fought, it would probably prompt the empire to stop the civil war. and then” "Hmph."
After hearing what the messenger said, Olivia hummed twice but did not answer.
Yes, she didn't know what the messenger said was right.
The current situation is like this.
Although she already owns the Pannonian plain, Carpathia, Peloponnese, Anatolia, Syria and Egypt, Mesopotamia and a small half of the blue sea, except for In addition, there are too many, too many, too many things in this world that are beyond her control.
This made her sincerely unhappy.
At the same time, there is nothing to do.
The expansion of the Ottoman Empire has entered a bottleneck area.
She was unable to expand northward beyond the Carpathians, the Black Sea, and Armenia.
The vast and barren desert areas in the south are also completely worthless.
In the west, her fleet clashed with the Lombard and Asturian navies, but also lost more than they won.
In the east, she had already obtained Mesopotamia, the richest land of the Persians.
However, it was equally powerless when attacking the Iranian plateau.
Moreover, it was too far away from Istanbul, the empire's center of rule.
Even if it were defeated, it wouldn't make much sense.
But Tronica is different.
Competing for hegemony with the centaurs on the northern grasslands is one of the basic national policies of the dark elves.
And now a very, very, very tempting opportunity was right in front of her.
The Lombards were embroiled in civil strife within the empire.

No time for him to care.
The main force of the Centaurs is fighting fiercely with the Slavis and Goths.
Or they are scattered on the prairie and cannot be gathered in a short time.
Therefore, if we really do what the other party said and transfer part of the fleet from the Azure Sea to the Black Sea, and then send troops to attack the Tronica area, then the final result may be Thinking of this, Sultan Fatima smiled.
Feeling good, feeling good.
Originally I just wanted to listen to the clown's performance.
But I didn't expect that I would pick up a treasure.
This was enough to keep her happy for several days.
Indeed, several military districts in the original empire had already been booked.
Just like a well-oiled machine, things like deploying troops and replacing parts are not within the scope of a well-oiled national machine.
The empire has become too stable, even dull.
In this case, everyone just wants to protect their own share of the industry, or compete for power internally.
The empire has not made any big moves for a long time.
The wars with the Lombards at sea, the wars with the Centaurs in the north, and the wars with the Persians in the east were all like routine.
Become a part of this national machine.
This situation made Sultan Fatima dissatisfied and very dissatisfied.
An arrogant person is also a confident person.
Sultan Fatima hoped that her empire could continue to expand and expand.
Better to rule the whole world.
"Perhaps, the first step is this.
Yes, that's right.
The Carpathian Mountains and the blue sea are difficult to conquer.
But if you can occupy Tronica, that place faces the sea and has a higher terrain.
It is densely covered with harbors.
Several important The city is close to the coast, which is the most suitable place for attack.
At the same time, the centaur is different from several other enemies.
It is a primitive nomadic country.
It is very strong militarily, but very weak fundamentally.
It's easy to break down.
But at the same time, it also has great potential.
Between Tartaria and the Slavs, there will always be a winner.
Or after the Centaur split, the Slavi people revived again and unified the entire large border area.
Or maybe the centaurs are truly civilized, abandon their nomadic traditions, and build a powerful alien empire like the dark elves.
No matter what the final result is, it is a big threat to the Ottoman dark elves.
"Annexing Tronica.
If you advance, you can bring all the large border areas under your control.
If you retreat, you can plant a nail among the Tarta and Slavis.
In any case, this plan is indeed effective, and it is indeed useful. " After some calculations, the female sultan Fatima has made a decision and made up her mind.
Of course, on the surface, the female sultan Fatima is still lazy, still has no interest, and still dismisses the messenger: "So, your purpose is to get the empire's army to attack Tronica."
Although before, all the words of both parties revolved around this topic.
But the female Sultan Fatima seemed to think that the messenger was an idiot.
He said again worriedly.
"Yes."
The messenger neither had any doubts about the IQ of the female sultan Fatima, nor did he have any doubts about his own IQ.
"So what's your price?"

Female Sultan Fatima asked: "I remember, yes, your identity.
I almost forgot.
Your identity, who sent you to say such things to me?
The emperor, the emperor, the pope, or who else?"
Don't wonder why the female sultan Fatima did not know the identity of the envoy.
She did not regard this summons as a formal diplomatic event from the beginning.
She just casually gave instructions to her ministers: she was a little idle and wanted to have some entertainment.
After that, her courtiers brought him up.
Furthermore, this messenger is not as humble, polite, or flattering as some other messengers.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he stated his purpose honestly.
Then comes a whole set of analyses.
After that, he submitted a large amount of information that showed that his inference was correct.
Finally, the female sultan Fatima was moved.
However, the female Sultan Fatima still did not know his identity.
So, the messenger said his main messenger with a little pride: "count."
The messenger's answer made Sultan Fatima truly surprised.
"Count" As if she didn't believe it, Sultan Fatima repeated the word.
"Yes, Count William von Hereford, son of the Duke of Mystia."
"Oh."
After the messenger officially said William's full name, the female Sultan Fatima was still dubious.
But soon, a casual smile appeared on her face again: "Really, then, just treat it like this.
Your master sent you here.
If he asks for my help, then he is prepared to pay the price."
Or in other words, how is she going to welcome the empire’s army heading to Tronica?”
"I'm very sorry, no."
The messenger's answer was as simple and direct as before.
But the female Sultan Fatima felt that she could no longer appreciate it this time.
"The count said that he was just giving His Majesty an idea and sending him some information.
What Your Majesty wants to do next has nothing to do with him.
It doesn't matter whether you go to fight Tronica or not.
The count can accept it.
This was not a deal from the beginning.
It was not that he asked you to save him.
Or, conversely, the count said that you owed her.
A favor.
Tronica is his gift to you.”
Hearing such righteous words or shameless words from the messenger, the female sultan Fatima finally laughed happily: "You are very talented, I mean the talent of telling jokes.
At the same time, your courage is also Very big.
In other words, very loyal.
Now that’s all, I have something else to ask you.
Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this?”
