Nameless low mountain, among the tents.I don't know when all the maids have been evacuated, and the strong men who act as guards have also avoided from afar, and there is a magic force field to isolate the entire camp tent, ensuring that the secret conversation of the three kings will not be leaked in the slightest.At this time, in the tent, silence has become the only theme!
No one spoke, and neither Amon nor Simba fell silent, their eyes rolling or frowning, all thinking about the gains and losses of this agreement.As for Celia Northland Storm, she seems to be the most indifferent, and she is in the mood to savor the wine in her hand.It's just that if you look closely, she is also observing the changes in the expressions of the other two people out of the corner of her eye, obviously, she is not as indifferent as she appears.From the beginning, for this battle of gods, the tripartite alliance actually occupies an absolute advantage, this advantage is not only in terms of troops, the general trend and the number of strong people, but also includes the backstage, the power of the church, and most importantly, the support of the gods behind the scenes.In simple contrast, the tripartite coalition will win.But war has never been a simple data competition, but also a game of hearts and minds.In this battle, the biggest shortcoming of the tripartite coalition is that the people are not aligned, there is not much trust between them, and they will even pull back at the critical moment and fail to work.What Celia Northland Storm is doing now is to make up for that only shortcoming.As a result, there is the agreement proposed by the tripartite talks this time, and there is also the queen's plan this time!
She, the Queen of Vengeance, Celia Northland, pressed herself to the table as a bargaining chip, just for the foolproof of this battle.I have to say that this courage, this determination, this scheming, frank and open, and above board, make it impossible to refuse.Yes, even Amun, who originally had an indifferent attitude, had to get serious at this moment.Because, even he has to scruple that if Lion City takes the lead in attacking Ordian City, and Celia and Simba join forces and unite with the outside world, then Kelmar will be in danger!
Even if the Gumeng Legion is strong enough, even if Amon has absolute confidence, he is not willing to face the cooperation of these two.That is the worst-case scenario, and even if the Gumeng achieve the final victory, they will inevitably pay a terrible price.And this is by no means what Amun wants to see!
On the other hand, Simba, the lion king, only felt a wave of anger brewing in his heart.He knew that he had been tricked, and originally, he was confident that he would persuade Celia to cooperate with him, but now it seems that Celia already had her own plans.As a result, there was a push and push, and only then did the so-called tripartite talks give an answer.However, a mature politician is never swayed by anger, which only burns in his heart for a moment before it is suppressed.He once again calmly pondered Celia's proposed agreement, and quickly came to a decision.Of course, before that, he still has some doubts to solve.The tent was quiet, and it lasted for a quarter of an hour before Simba, the lion king, was the first to break it.He looked at Celia with an extremely sharp gaze: "Your Majesty the great Celia, I would like to know if this agreement is just your personal idea, or has it been unanimously approved by the lady and gentleman behind you?"
And the other nine seats in the City of Vengeance, what is the point of view?
”It's a tactful question, but it's very sharp and critical.Because, this war is not simply a mortal battle, but also involves the gods in the sky.And Celia's answer was not at all evasive: "I proposed the agreement, but since I dare to come up with this agreement, I will naturally get the approval of the lady and the gentleman."
As for the rest of the Nine Seats, do you think that's important?
”"Well, it really doesn't matter!"
Simba smiled and nodded thoughtfully, while Amon narrowed his eyes.However, before they could think about it, Celia spoke again: "Of course, as the queen of Dilus City, I proposed this agreement.But, as a voter of Nemesis and the Patronus of the Northlands, I have to put a precondition on this agreement.If you agree, everything can be discussed, but if you don't agree, then everything you just said can be nullified. ”Amon spoke: "What conditions?"
”Celia: "In the near future, I need to have the right to freely preach in the empire that is about to be born, whether it is the church of Nemesis or the church of the Patronus of the Northlanders.We do not have the luxury of being the state religion and do not need the favor of the Empire, but the people of the Northland are free to choose their faith. ”At this point, both Simba and Amon unconsciously showed a clear look, and Celia also completely put her plan on the table.The so-called gains and losses, this proposal may allow the three forces to work together for a certain period of time to destroy Ordian City.But Celia will also lose her most precious opportunity - she will be further and further away from the supreme throne.She will also lose the possibility of climbing to the pinnacle of supreme power, and the city of Vengeance will be completely eliminated in the battle for supremacy in the entire Northlands.This is what she wants to lose, and it is not insignificant!
But from another point of view, you can't deny that this is a very sober decision for Celia!
Does the Vengeful City have any hope of dominating the Northlands?
That must be there, and the hope is very great, after all, the strength and heritage of the City of Vengeance are there, and there are countless old monsters behind the Nine Seat Council.But building an empire doesn't mean you'll be able to rule well.Is there a market for the doctrine of Nemesis, which is a model of blood for blood and tooth for tooth?
Of course, there is.Where there are people, there is vendettas, and where there are vendettas, there is the church of this vengeful lady.However, if you want this kind of church to unify the Northlands and build an empire, ahem, then forget it, they are naturally not suitable for the pursuit of stability.Besides, the Patron Saint of the Northland Ranger, this one is okay, the doctrine is also suitable, and the believers are also very wide in the Northland, but this one, his own strength is really weak.Especially in the face of a group of existences with medium divine power at every turn, he is just a younger brother, and his strength is insufficient, so naturally he can't covet more.As for the other churches in the City of Vengeance, such as the God of the Lich, the God of Thieves, or something, they were just in the era of the city-state, after all, the territory they ruled was very small, but when it came to the Age of Empires, they all had their own shortcomings in becoming the state religion.And this is the fundamental reason why Celia is willing to take a step back.Of course, her step back can be of great benefit, because whether it is the final victory of the Lion City or the sweep of King Amun through the Northlands, she will not fall.This abacus is absolutely crackling!
As for the other two, neither Amon nor Simba could resist the temptation she gave.At this point, everything is clear.Everything seems to have settled.However, Amon still raised his own question: "Ahem, that, I'm sorry, I'm already married, and His Majesty Celia knows this!"
”As if she had discovered a new world, Celia stared at Amon with a more and more strange gaze: "I know, but does it matter?"
”Amon: "Is it okay?
”Celia smiled and turned her head to look at Simba: "Great Lion King, are you married?"
How many children do you have?
”Simba pretended to cough and said, "I got married four years ago, and now I have a son and a daughter.However, as the lord of the city-state and the king of a country, I can indeed only have one wife, but who would stipulate that the lord of the empire, the emperor of the entire northern land, can only have one wife?
I think it's nice to have two!
”Ahem, is it okay?
Celia looked at Amon again and said, "Believe me, send the news back, even if it is your mother, Queen Palice, who has the blood of the Silver Moon Elf King, she will not care if you have another wife."
Of course, who stipulated that in the new empire, the great Northland emperor was only allowed to have one wife?
”Well, it makes so much sense that I'm speechless!
…… At this point, the negotiations have come to an end, and the agreement has been placed in front of everyone, but it has not been reached at the first time.Because, whether it is Amon or Simba, they need to bring the news back, and their respective think tanks will give pros and cons analysis and opinions, and they need to inform the church, and even explore the opinions of those gods above.Under normal circumstances, the gods do not interfere directly, they guide, they will give directions, and the oracles they give are mostly ambiguous and need to be understood by the believers themselves.This is to maintain the mystery of the gods, after all, only the high and elusive can not be perceived.When he arrived at Amun's place, he also transmitted the information back to Kelmar City through the miniature teleportation array as soon as possible.He needed the experience of Queen Palice and the perspective of his new wife.And the result, as Celia said, was unopposed by no one, not even Queen Parici.Well, this result made Amon sigh a little, after so many years, he still hasn't understood the aristocratic rules of this world.Of course, he didn't want to eat it all either.So, on the second day of the tripartite talks, on the low mountain, witnessed by the god of justice, Heim, the three parties signed an agreement on this.When the names of each of the three fell on the ancient magical parchment scroll, the brilliant light began to spread across the scroll, and when all the light disappeared, it already represented the approval of the god of justice.At this point, this big war that affects the entire Northland has officially begun!
On this day, only an hourglass hour after the agreement was signed, the three legions marched together and arrived at the city of Ordian.Boom Boom!
The roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth did not stop from this moment on, and the huge catapult with the burning boulder pierced the sky, and with the tail flame, smashed into the huge magical defense field outside the city wall.This is a super-large defensive force field released by the Gray Eagle Tower, with incomparable power, even under the successive blows of the boulders, it is still not deformed, showing super defensive ability.But hundreds of boulders crashed down, and the terrifying power was also terrifying, and the whole land trembled.And this is just the appetizer of this war, the beginning of the battle of the gods.
