"They are not cooperating with us, but protecting their interests in the northern continent and their status as continental hegemons. A Maxim Empire is enough to give them a headache. I believe they don't want another Merox Empire."
Xia Ya calmly analyzed.
The rise of any country must step on the corpses of other countries and divide the interests of other countries.
In this case, disputes between countries are inevitable, otherwise how to swear their sovereignty exists.
In times of peace, diplomatic and economic means can be used, but in times of war, there is only the simplest and most violent method—war.
Emperor Fuer nodded and said in appreciation.
"That's right, Xia, you really surprised me. I didn't expect you to have such unique insights on political strategy in addition to your outstanding military skills."
"Who would like to send an envoy to the two countries?" asked Emperor Furr.
There was silence in the entire hall, and in the end, it was Xia Ya who came forward to propose.
"Your Majesty, Kira of the Yamato family can do the job. He is now lurking in the state activities between the Magic City and the Merlox Empire. He is the most suitable for the Magic City."
"Well, who is in charge of the Eastern God Cult?" Emperor Furr asked again.
Yulian took the initiative to ask Ying.
"The old minister is willing to go to the Eastern Divine Sect."
"good!"
Both the Eastern God Sect and the Magic Capital also received news that the Ottoman Kingdom had been taken over by the Merox Empire, but the Eastern God Religion didn’t respond very well. Who told them to be kicked out so quickly was of little interest to them. It's worth their efforts.
The reaction of the magic capital was much more intense. After all, the subordinate countries of the magic capital close to the border of the Ottoman Kingdom had a huge amount of trade relations with the Ottoman Kingdom.
Once they lost the Ottoman Kingdom, their initial aid would be in vain, and the Ottoman Kingdom still owed them a large amount of money, so who would they turn to when that time comes.
The mages representing several countries on the border of the magic capital have requested to send troops to the Ottoman Kingdom.
Looking at the noisy representatives in the parliament, Alonso's face in the corner was terrifyingly gloomy. Aslan actually has a tendency to dominate the northern continent, and he is also a powerful magician.
He wanted to kill Aslan, and it was even harder.
Since Alonso's enchantment, his strength has risen sharply, and his cultivation has progressed rapidly. Now that he is in the middle stage of the magician, his actual combat power has not lost to a veteran magician like Patrick. You must know that Patrick is already a strong magician at the peak.
Patrick's face was complicated. He heard that the strength of the Merlox Empire after the rise had faintly threatened the hegemony of the magic capital, which made Patrick very uncomfortable.
He has planned all his life, just to join the magic sanctuary of the mainland, the capital of magic, so that he has the opportunity to become a great magus.
The pinnacle of the continent.
But he worked hard all his life, and finally got on with most of the family, which was considered to have successfully completed his life goals, but in the end he found that everything he had worked hard had been abandoned by him, and even his despised son had completed it.
If he had supported Aslan from the beginning, he might have become a great magister like Duke Medea.
It is said that the number of great mentor-level powerhouses in the Merlox Empire has exceeded double digits.
"Everyone, stop arguing, vote!" Finally, St. Peter, the president of the Magic Council, stopped the farce.
This is the biggest drawback of the Magic Council. The approval of any policy plan will take several days, and it may not pass in the end. This is also the reason why the Capital of Magic and the Eastern God Cult still cannot win the Maxim Empire.
The benefits of centralization are much stronger than parliamentary systems in war mobilization and resource allocation.
In the end, the hawks won by a narrow margin of three votes.
This is still St. Peter's side, otherwise it would be normal to vote a few more times.
The countries close to the Ottoman Kingdom have huge interests involved, but the countries on the other side of the southern continent have no benefit at all. It is very difficult for them to vote to send troops to war.
Once troops are sent to war, military expenses and food and grass must be shared equally by all countries, which is the key reason why the Magic City has always been unable to work together.
St. Peter knew that this time, he was dissatisfied with many great mages, but he had no choice. As Char said, unless the capital of magic was willing to see the rise of another Maxim Empire.
The only thing he has to do now is to wait, I believe that the Maxim Empire will soon send envoys over, and then use the price paid by the Maxim Empire to compensate these countries that are unwilling to participate in the war.
Kira rushed to the Magic City on the third day after receiving the order. He was well prepared, and the Magic City would definitely agree to send troops. The question was what price the Maxim Empire had to pay.
The only thing he has to do is to keep the price to a minimum.
In the city of Uhula, Aslan listened to Madam Sharon's report, and his face became more solemn than ever.
He knew very well that when the Ottomans were completely defeated, it was time for the Magic City and the Eastern Sect to end.
Only the magic capital can intervene in the war of the Ottoman Kingdom, and the Eastern God Church and the Maxim Empire will surely contain the Merox Empire in other places.
Sweeping across the map of the continent, Aslan finally set his sights on the Principality of Ellending, which borders the Merlox Empire in the central plain. This is a small country with a land area of only 15,925 square kilometers and a total population of less than three million. .
The Principality of Ellending is located in a barren country, and the entire country is built on the Aurora Mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Principality of Elending, with a population of less than three million, actually has nearly ten mentor-level powerhouses, which should not be underestimated.
This is a poor and sturdy country, and it has no value to be attacked by neighboring countries, so it can continue to this day.
The only thing that can be appreciated is that this country is very quiet and has never ransacked the surrounding countries because of poverty.
Diego and Ashley have been traveling to the Principality of Arendine for several months, wondering if they will be able to take the country.
Once the Duchy of Elendin becomes a part of the Merlox Empire, with the financial resources of the Merlox Empire, the main city of Valentin will definitely be built into a fortress, stuck in the throat of the central plain and the northern continent.
Attacking the northern continent from the central plain, the Principality of Elendine is not stuck on the only passage, but it is behind most passages. As long as the commander is not stupid, he will definitely not allow an enemy fortress to exist behind him.
Who can guarantee that the army in this fortress will not suddenly burst out, attack them from front and back, or attack their rear. In order to ensure the safety of the rear, they will definitely attack the fortress, at least surround the fortress, so that it cannot send troops at will. .
