MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 261 envoy
Chapter 261 Envoys
"Do you have any questions about this motion?"
"Yes, I need to ask you to explain again, what is meant by 'for the next stage of military operations in Avazhou, the full support of Holy Tree City is required'? Because if my understanding is correct, the Senate means that we There is no full support for the expedition to Ava."
Looking at the envoy who stretched out his hand and held the scroll with the badge of the Imperial Senate in front of him, Flaro, who was sitting on the throne of withered glory, made his tone with just the right amount of dissatisfaction.
As she spoke, she raised her hand to stop the secretary who was about to walk over to take the scroll, and looked at these uninvited guests with bright eyes.
About five minutes ago, that is, less than ten minutes after Flaro and his party returned from the underground root system, the emergency teleportation circle between Platinum City and Sacred Tree City was activated. The envoy of the will went directly to the main hall of the Bone White House, and read a motion just passed by the Senate to Flaro, the supreme leader of Jade Province.
Accompanying witnesses was an Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Spirit, and a member of the House of Lords of the Star Council—such a high-level lineup was enough to show that the Senate attached great importance to this motion.
The reading of the motion is full of bureaucratic tediousness, but at the end of the reading, its purpose is revealed...
"You should know what the Senate means, Your Highness Flaro."
The envoy said so with his head held high, he still held the scroll horizontally and waited for the other party to take it - in the culture of the Empire, taking it means accepting it.
"It means that now I have opened the two ports of Swan Port and Green Water Port to you, while maintaining the operation of the two large portals and the supply lines for the three legions of the empire, I am not doing my best. Then I have some Curious, what kind of attitude does the Senate expect from me to support the Legion?"
To this, Flaro, who was sitting on the throne, continued to answer in a dissatisfied tone.
Hearing the other party's apparent unwillingness to accept it, the envoy slowly took back the scroll in his hand with the gold seal of the Senate, carefully took it in his arms, and then resisted the urge to look back.
He heard the snorts of the two witnesses behind him—obviously, these two big men were dissatisfied with the attitude of the Duke of Sacred Tree.
Isn't it obvious what the Imperial Senate wants? It has already been stated in the previous motion - in order to reduce the pressure on the frontier defense in the direction of Blackwater Province, it is now necessary to transfer the Empire's Seventh Legion back to the pass fortress of the Dragon's Back Mountains. Safety in Platinum Province.
But in this way, with the remaining two legions and the church's apologists, the difficulty of capturing the entire Awa continent will rise sharply.
At this time, isn't it obvious what to do as Flaro Kane, who was conferred the Duke of Sacred Tree by the Emperor of the Empire?
Does it have to be clearly stated in the motion before he is willing to fulfill his responsibilities?
The envoy complained about the opponent's political immaturity, and said as a reminder:
"According to the latest information we have received, Ava Continent has organized a large-scale fleet. For some reason, the Shadow Queen seems to have regained control of the entire High Elf Council, and it is very likely that she will take the first step. Take military action. Before the arrival of naval reinforcements on the Eastern Front, we need Jade Province to fulfill its oath to the Eighth Spirit and demonstrate its loyalty to the Empire."
This is very obvious.
And of course Flaro understood what the other party meant—the situation in the Blackwater Province had changed far beyond their imagination. In order to maintain the defense of the Platinum Province, the Senate needed to reassign the most powerful 7th Legion back to defend the nobles and the royal family.
But because the political propaganda of the previous expedition to Ava Continent was too loud, even if Queen Irene was unwilling now, the arrow had to be launched at this moment. Therefore, in order to fill the vacancy in combat power after the departure of the Seventh Legion, the Senate hopes that Cuiyu Province can consider the overall situation and mobilize the army to participate in the expedition.
Although Flaro can understand the meaning of the Senate, but…
Are those guys' brains caught in the door? Let the forest elves organize an army?
Leaving the home of Ravenwood Forest, the forest elf army can be said to be the last existence on the entire continent in terms of combat power, morale, organization, and continuous combat capability. It can even be said that whether the organized forest elves can be called an army is debatable.
Thinking of this, Flaro turned his eyes away from the envoy in front of him, looked at the two "witnesses" behind him, and said in a serious tone:
"As the Lord of Jade Province, of course I will do my best in accordance with the contract with my Eighth Holy Spirit and fight at all costs to realize His ideal world. On this point, please never question my loyalty."
"what…"
The envoy and the other two witnesses didn't know what to say for a while after hearing the unexpected answer from the Duke of Sacred Tree.
After all, this is a bit too exaggerated. Even if you want to show loyalty, it seems too much. It sounds more like yin and yang...
Jade Province is known for its unique cultural beliefs. Even after Flaro, the "deviant" Sacred Tree Duke came to power, he began to implement the Empire's Holy Spirit Church beliefs in the territory. Her support doesn't feel like she really believes in those things.
Even within the top ranks of the Church of the Holy Spirit, it is the consensus of most people that only the Holy Spirit is used as a banner and tool. Saints who have nothing but piety are unlikely to climb to the top in the fierce power struggle.
was originally meant to be used as a slogan, but why are you being so serious all of a sudden?
After a moment of silence, the envoy said:
"So the meaning of the Duke is that he is willing to provide an unlimited amount of money for the imperial expedition..."
"I am willing to help... But you should also know that based on the cultural traditions of the forest elves, once our... troops leave the territory of Ravenwood Forest, the combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened. In fact, I I believe that some special cultural traditions will also bring a lot of morale impact to those allies."
Joining an expedition with a group of allies with a corpse-eating tradition is never going to be an easy task.
The envoy immediately explained:
"In the matter of attacking the mainland of Ava Continent, considering the advantages of the forest elves fighting in the woodlands, the empire does not need your army to directly participate in the sea-crossing operation. But we need you to ensure that after the seventh army leaves the green water port, it can Take over the defense there. Prepare for a possible surprise attack on Ava."
Flaro frowned slightly after hearing this.
If it was just this matter, there was no need for the Senate to put up such a posture to put pressure on itself.
"that's all?"
she asked suspiciously.
"The landing operation does not require your army to participate, but after we capture their city, we may need the army of the forest elves to land on the island as a reserve team. Responsible for the maintenance of local security, the forest elves and the high elves have the same origin, and the Senate believes that This reduces a lot of friction.”
"What about other than that?"
Frallo continued to ask, her doubts deepened.
took over the captured High Elf city without even needing them to participate in the landing operation. Flaro did not believe that the Empire was here for charity.
Until this time, the other party really said the purpose of this trip.
"Besides that, we need you, Duke, to deal with the shadow queen and hunt down Remedios Moonshadow."
So this is their purpose? I hope that the sending of troops by the forest elves is just a cover. What the Senate really hopes is to let themselves lay a trap for the surprise attack that Remedios may launch?
Flaro looked at the House of Lords of the Star Council and the Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Spirit behind the envoy, and couldn't help thinking.
Then how should you answer?
Is he pretending to promise the other party, and tell him this information after the presiding judge returns? You should cooperate with the inside and outside, and will directly defeat the conspiracy of the empire?
Or do you simply refuse here to prove your devotion to the Eighth Spirit?
+promise him+
Before Flaro could figure out how to answer, a voice suddenly echoed in the depths of his soul.
That was the voice of the presiding judge.
+I want to know why the Empire is so picky+
Adjust your work and rest, and make up for the one you owe. When I adjust my schedule, I will definitely start the third watch, or even the second watch.
