Since the blood flag revenge more than a year ago, the void duchy has had a very terrible shadow for many nobles in Ryan kingdom. Especially those lords who live next to the Principality of vanity are even more frightened. As soon as they see the sign of another big move in the Principality of vanity, they don't hurry to send envoys to communicate. They are deeply afraid that they will be swept up by the army of the Principality of vanity.
This is the sadness of the weak.
In fact, civilians are eager to become aristocrats and keep working hard. But in fact, after becoming an aristocrat, we will find that the so-called aristocratic world is not as beautiful as they imagined. It is still a game of big fish eating small fish, but there will be at least one more fig leaf in the aristocratic world than naked civilian humiliation. Of course, the game of big fish eating small fish in aristocracy is more cruel than bullying among civilians.
But the void principality is different.
Sean's code of conduct never considered the so-called "fig leaf", and he didn't even pay attention to the so-called "rules of the game among nobles". For this great Duke, his work depends on his mood - like blood flag revenge. Originally, this kind of thing can only be related to relatives or blood ties, but Sean did it for a northern barbarian who has no blood ties and is a slave. Many nobles are disgusting. Sean just wants to take advantage of the fire.
But so what?
Sean ignored that. He just wanted to avenge Arnold, so he took everyone's revenge.
After this battle, the Principality of vanity became famous completely.
But basically, it also makes many forces feel the bottom of the strength of the Principality of emptiness - in addition to the wing of convictions hidden secretly and the silver Temple Legion obtained from the wilderness, all the existing forces, Legion names, famous generals, famous and powerful people of the Principality of emptiness are completely made public.
This kind of thing has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that many nobles are clearly aware of the gap between themselves and the void principality. Before reaching this strength and inside information, don't go to the trouble of the void principality. It's not the opponent they can compete with at all. This is also the reason why many nobles did not directly challenge the void duchy after knowing that Sean was not in the void duchy through their different intelligence channels.
Just four words: not an opponent.
Of course, it's not that no one wants to provoke those followers while Sean is away, trying to cause a civil strife or usurp power. But what made all the nobles extremely helpless was that few of the secret lobbyists sent out to provoke came back alive - Sean's followers didn't bother to pay attention to what these lobbyists wanted to say or who sent them.
Those with a good temper just let them go.
Those with bad temper, such as Alfred and Abaza, cut people off directly.
Of course, there are also smiling responses, and then turn around to uproot the spies who have spent great efforts and costs in the void principality. The typical representatives of this kind are the empty giants William, Neil and Hella.
However, under such things, people with other thoughts are not absent, but they are basically small people at the bottom and can't turn over any waves. Clough is the only one who can turn the tide. Unfortunately, the object of his oath of eternal allegiance is Cecilia, who is the most unlikely to betray Sean. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether to plot against clough, because all the followers of Sean, even clough himself, know that as long as he dares to rebel or persecute Cecilia, Cecilia dares to kill.
In the face of this solid loyalty belief, even the most powerful lobbyists depict the most perfect blueprint for the future is of no use at all.
As for the harm brought by the battle of blood flag revenge, many big forces have finally updated the intelligence data of the void principality in detail. While they are aware of the gap, if they want to take action against the void principality in the future, they will naturally have more detailed and perfect battle plans and targeted actions. It can be said that this time, the void principality took the initiative to expose its weaknesses.
However, this weakness has not been expanded.
Because in terms of intelligence investigation and counter investigation, the level of the void principality, which has a void territory, has been rated as imperial.
Therefore, in addition to the information that has been exposed by the virtual principality, it is very difficult to obtain the information of the virtual principality from other aspects. Especially after Thain hasting's betrayal and William's attack, the Principality of void has strengthened its intelligence work at the grass-roots level. Therefore, if you want to infiltrate the Principality of void to obtain intelligence, you can't get anything without more than ten years.
Therefore, in a sense, the void principality has always been in an invincible position.
Because of this, once there is any trouble in the void principality with strong strength, profound heritage, mysterious background and gathering of the strong, the surrounding Lords will be informed at the first time and list the matter as the highest priority. They don't want to lose the territory that their ancestors fought so hard to win in their own hands for no reason - although the void principality can't occupy the territory of lane Kingdom even if it fights with the surrounding lords, no nobles are willing to experience a war for no reason.
But it's not Sean's business to negotiate with the outside world.
Diana's role lies in this - Cecilia, the real person in charge of the foreign ministry, left all her work to Diana long after Sean came back. Therefore, the task of receiving those envoys should naturally be in the charge and arrangement of Diana. However, when she brought the Marquis of Flores, a close confidant of the king, Diana naturally should not compare it with others, but treat it extra.
It was also the first time that Diana was really solely responsible for receiving big people at the level of marquis Flores.
However, as more and more senior figures of the void principality arrived at the black swan castle, an extremely heavy atmosphere began to fill the sky of the void principality.
It was only about the battle plan meeting for rescuing leice and assisting hassas. Sean did not attend. Because he felt that he really didn't need to show this face, he left it entirely to Cecilia and William - Diana should have attended the meeting, but Diana had to deal with the problems caused by Sean's return.
This also means that Diana can finally remove the word "agent" from the "agent of the foreign minister". Before long, the fourth giant of the void principality will soon become those who must pay close attention to the forces of the void principality, just like William, Neil and Hella.
As for the battle plan, in fact, as early as the night William arrived at the black swan castle, he had discussed a general framework with Cecilia.
At the meeting, all William needs to do is fill in other details into the framework based on the information provided by hassas. For these things, William's experience is definitely richer than anyone in the whole empty principality, so Sean has no reason to show up and give advice.
Maybe it was because hassas attached great importance to this action, so the discussion plan went very smoothly, and all the details were finalized in almost one day. Of course, William will certainly not disclose the rescue of leice to hassas, but because of the promise of Sean that Nolo will certainly meet with William and kokirey's action, William naturally does not haggle with hassas about the deployment of the strong.
Hassas will send two holy land strongmen to join the battle, but as he said, he is not good at military strategy, so he has no additional troops except for temporarily hiring an army that is almost equivalent to the level of level 3 army.
William, on the other hand, dispatched Cecilia guards led by clough and Alfred's Lion of thunder. In addition, the scarlet Knights secretly followed him so that they could support him at any time - this support was not only for the lion of thunder and Cecilia guards, but also for the secret action team to rescue leice. In terms of the strong soldiers, there are also two strong saints fighting, HARTING and Nolo.
As for the secret operation team to rescue leice, Cecilia led the team, including Rena and kokirey. Originally, it was intended to transfer personnel from the wing of convictions and the scarlet knights, but after a series of discussions and discussions, Cecilia finally gave up this method. The team composed of strong people will have higher mobility and combat effectiveness, especially the wing of convictions and the scarlet knights. They are good at joint attack. If the number is not enough, Obviously, it can't play a real role.
All actions were soon finalized.
In the whole process, Sean didn't show up, because he was not only constantly debugging his holy land ability, but also making some other preparations.
The floating library is a world located at an altitude of several kilometers. Although it is protected by a magic shield, the fertility of the floating library is relatively low because of the high-altitude air layer pressure and many other factors. But on the contrary, the residents living in the floating library have strong endurance and adaptability, which is much higher than any creature in the land.
Sean's training is a set of adaptation training specially designed by Andrew for his physique to ensure that Sean can play normally after he goes to the floating library.
So these days, Sean basically spends most of his time with Andrew. Cecilia will come to accompany Sean only when he is leisure.
"If it's no accident, I'll start tonight. Won't you accompany the little girl?" Andrew asked Sean at the table, dealing with the food in front of him.
It was lunchtime, but Cecilia and William had other things to deal with, so they didn't come to dinner. Cecilia wanted to have dinner, but William didn't let people go. Considering the importance of leice to William, Cecilia didn't leave the conference room after all, although Cecilia was reluctant. Alfred, Dwight, clovrina and other people attended the meeting, so their lunch was naturally sent to the conference room.
"When everything is finished, there is plenty of time to accompany. I'm not in a hurry." Sean smiled and looked very open. "I'm sorry to drag your time."
"Don't care about these little things." Andrew smiled and shook his head. "It's like a gift from me."
"All right." Sean smiled and didn't go on talking about the topic.
He and Andrew are from the same world, so in this lonely and different world, some things don't need to be said too clearly and clearly. Just like the gift Andrew said at this time, although he didn't clearly say what the gift meant, Sean knew that it was Andrew's gift to be separated - maybe Andrew also wanted to get in touch with the villagers, because during this time, Sean found that Andrew was asking about the earth age a long time ago.
From this point of view, Sean guessed that Andrew left the earth about one day in 2016. Unfortunately, Sean couldn't infer the specific date. The time Sean crossed was 2082, which means Andrew left the earth 66 years earlier than him.
Then, they talked about some other things at will.
But in general, it's basically around the earth. Only the two of them know - of course, for Sean, many of them are actually history or antiques. However, fortunately, he has a wide range of interests and is also very interested in ancient history and modern history of the earth, so he can communicate with Andrew. Otherwise, the dialogue between the two people will be cold for many times.
In this slightly lively atmosphere, Beth suddenly knocked on the door and entered.
"Coming?" Andrew turned his head and looked at Beth, who nodded slightly.
Sean's eyes showed some doubt. He didn't quite understand what Andrew meant when he said it came.
"Let's go." Andrew got up and smiled at Sean. "Let's go out and have a look."
"Look?" Sean's face was more confused, but he didn't refuse Andrew's kindness. Instead, he got up and followed Andrew out of the black swan castle. Of course, he asked curiously, "what are you looking at?"
"Gifts." Andrew smiled, "basically, each of us has prepared a gift You have received the gift from enkos. And coming back with you is my gift to you Beth's gift will probably take some time. Now this gift is from Hercules. "
"Hercules!?" Sean was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
His demon egg is still in Hagrid's hand!
