Chapter 210

She looked at the others, who, as the two argued, remained silent with their heads bowed.

After all, they don't have the same influence as Alfred, who dares to directly challenge the Queen.

"My mind is made up." Elvian ignored Alfred. "I need a reason to lure Ryan and the Holy Blood Army here and make them show themselves."

After a while, a general said, "Your Majesty, since you are negotiating with the Augustus Empire, why not take this opportunity to send someone to negotiate with the Augustus envoy? As long as we lay out a trap during the negotiations, the Holy Blood Army will definitely be mobilized. We can then disperse and sneak to our hiding places according to the plan. We don't need too many people; we can win by playing it safe."

"General Clement is right. With His Your Majesty leading the expedition, the Holy Blood Army will surely be defeated."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Elvian frowned. "Who will go to negotiate?"

This is what worries her the most right now.

Because Ryan completely ignored her.

Otherwise, she would like to meet Ryan herself.

"Your Majesty, I will go." At this moment, Avril, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "I know Rider... Ryan, he should see me."

"Avril, are you... really okay?"

Elvian asked, somewhat reluctantly.

In fact, she had already considered Avril as a potential candidate.

Only.

That's so cruel!

Knowing full well that Avril had been betrayed by Ryan, yet still using that relationship to get her to negotiate with Ryan, is absolutely a form of mental torture!

"Your Majesty has no other suitable candidates, has he?" Avril said firmly. "Everything is for Wilder!"

"Should Avril go down? Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"

"Yes, Avril, your profession is special and of great significance to the kingdom. The Augustians will definitely try every means to get rid of you."

"Avril for Moonlight Knight is like Shally for the Holy Blood Army, it's too risky."

Everyone chimed in with their opinions.

And you know what? Because of their outstanding performance in this expedition to the Northern Federation, these generals have a very high opinion of Avril.

Yes, Avril already has a high level of charm, which is definitely a positive factor.

It's no exaggeration to say that Avril's position in the Moonlight Knight Order is now beginning to shake the old leader Monica.

Avril said, "It is precisely because of my special circumstances that Augustus attacked me. When I appear, Ryan will also appear, and the Holy Blood Army will be mobilized as well. In this way, His Your Majesty's plan will be easier to complete."

Alfred frowned. "Avril, this concerns the survival of Wildea. Are you sure you won't be influenced by Ryan?"

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never be bewitched by Ryan, as I uphold the will of the Moon Goddess!"

Alfred was about to say something when Elvian stopped him.

"Avril, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Her eyes gleamed with confidence. "Rest assured, I will protect you and make Ryan pay the price!"

Although it's a bit unfair to Avril, if this arrangement can be made to lure Ryan out, she can not only destroy the Holy Blood Army, but also capture Ryan in one fell swoop!

Ryan... if you fall into my hands, hehehe!

Elvian had already come up with a hundred ways to torture Ryan.

"Just how much does this woman hate me?"

Silvermoon Castle.

After listening to Elvian's entire plan, Ryan was speechless.

You, a Queen, have such a narrow mind?

And you even said that Amabena wasn't fit to be Queen? She was a much better queen than you!

At least they have a big heart!

However, it's a good thing that Elvian wants to kill him so badly; at least Ryan won't have to think of ways to 'lure' Elvian into making a move.

"Elvian, you understand me best. What you're thinking is exactly what I want to do."

Although the other party kept calling, Ryan ignored them.

The reason is simple: now is not the time for peace talks.

Reconciliation now? You must be joking!

The Verdea Kingdom is too powerful now. If the Northern Federation were not under Ryan's control, he would be happy to let Wildea and the Northern Federation fight to the death, and Augustus would reap the benefits.

But now, the Northern Federation has taken control, and Wilderness is the biggest threat.

Leaving aside the fixed defensive armies, Elvian has 100,000 regular troops, including 60,000 Moonlight Knight Order. Add to that the forces of the other four countries in the Federation, and Ryan won't be able to sleep soundly if they aren't wiped out.

It's a pity that Avril's reputation isn't enough to control the Knights. Otherwise, we could have found a way to completely crush Elvian and then pushed Avril to take control of Wildea...

⒈○①②②83○⑨eight

"It's not impossible now."

Ryan stroked his chin. First, he had to subdue Elvian and strip her of her royal dignity and pride, otherwise, given her personality, she would never submit.

To be honest, that old man Alfred is indeed a talent. If the Northern Federation hadn't been secretly controlled by him, and if things had gone according to Alfred's plan, then Wildea would definitely have been fine.

Unfortunately, intelligence can't beat cheating.

Moreover, Elvian was clearly a bit carried away.

"Shally's strength is enough to fight Sixth Tier opponent, but she'll probably have a hard time against Elvian, who is also a hidden class."

Even at the seventh rank, one must be able to win steadily.

Although Haino is Holy Word Master, he might not be able to beat him. As for Old Joe? We don't even know where he is; there's nowhere to try and catch him.

And even Old Joe might not be able to beat him.

After thinking it over, Ryan pictured a tall, short man.

"I haven't called the Grand Duke Duchess for many days, and I miss her terribly."

While pondering, Ryan looked at Avril's interface. At this moment, Elvian had already called the others away, leaving Avril alone for a sisterly chat.

"Avril, I know you are suffering, but rest assured, I will definitely seek justice for you."

"Um..."

"Ryan is a beast in human form. We must not be fooled by his sweet talk during this peace negotiation."

"Um..."

"If the plan succeeds, you will be Wildeya's hero."

"Um."

"In truth, I have always regarded you as my younger sister. Now that the kingdom is in trouble, you two should join hands to lead the kingdom out of its predicament. In time, Wildea will surely unify the Northern Continent!"

"..."

Ultimately, Elvian granted Avril the title of Marquis and the Moonlight Knight Order, a rank second only to Monica, whose fate was unknown.

After all, having this identity would make it easier to represent Wilder in negotiations; otherwise, what's with this ' Avril? Ryan: Who the hell are you?

Ryan closed the game and called Magana.

The Iron Blood Army, led by the latter, has completely sealed off the Western Territory. The Western Barbarian Army has launched several unsuccessful attacks. Just a few days ago, Magana personally led a large army in a surprise attack and successfully wiped out the combined forces of Kainter and the Western Barbarians, killing tens of thousands of enemies. The Iron Blood Army's momentum is unstoppable.

After this battle, the Kainter army retreated thirty miles and seemed ready to roll back to their own territory.

After all, their original intention was to join forces with the Western Barbarians to steal chickens and dogs, but they ended up stealing nothing and getting beaten up. Now, the Southern Territory Army has crossed the Hicks Frontline, and Hicks City is in crisis for the third time and is teetering on the brink of collapse.

Once this city falls, the northern defenses of Kainter will be completely breached by the Empire, and they will then face the merciless annihilation of the Imperial army.

Ryan estimated that the battle would last at most two months before Kainter couldn't hold on any longer.

In fact, the Augustus Empire was also in a difficult situation, with immense pressure from multiple wars. Therefore, they urgently needed a victory, partly to boost morale and partly, naturally, to make a fortune.

You lost?

Alright, I'm going to ask for the lion's share!

They want to get all sorts of compensation and resources.

To be honest, if Kainter sticks with Hicks, then 'Vainay' will have a headache.

Defensive battles are always easier than offensive ones, and the Hicks Frontline is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's just a pity that Kainter believed those Western barbarians and went to cooperate with them.

It's fair to say that he was blinded by greed.

"... Go to the Kingdom of Lotte and help out?" Magana asked, puzzled. "Help with what?"

Recently, 'Vainay' issued an order for Ryan to take charge of matters Augustus Empire and Wildea, something Magana was aware of.

"Veldya is going to take a desperate gamble. Grand Duke you not by my side, I'm not confident."

"Oh? Elvian?" Magana put Grand Duke hands on her hips and smiled smugly. "I did consider fighting her, but although that woman is very powerful, she is no match for Grand Duke!"

"That's what I was thinking too, so the first person I thought of was you, Your Grand Duke."

"But Ryan, if we deal with Wildea, that woman Vainay will become completely powerful."

Although Magana is currently pursuing a 'development' strategy, aiming to conquer the Great Plains, dominate the lands, and accumulate strength to dethrone 'Vainay' from the throne and claim the crown herself, it seems that the Western Territory's development is not as rapid as the Empire's.

It hasn't been that long, and 'Vainay' has already reached the Northern Coalition. If Kainter were to raise the white flag, wouldn't 'Vainay's' reputation as emperor... overshadow Magana's?!

Cricket 'Vainay'!

"Your Grand Duke, rest assured, I have already spoken with the Empress, and she has granted me the administration of the Kingdom of Lotte."

"Ha???"

Magana was taken aback. "The entire Kingdom of Lotte? You've given it to me?"

Loth's allegiance to Augustus was equivalent to that of a vassal state.

In reality, it cannot be used as a reward.

However, given the special location of the Kingdom of Lotte, it was bound to be directly controlled by Augustus, so naturally someone had to act as the liaison.

Although they have no official title, they control the power of a kingdom, which is no less prestigious than that of an ordinary duke.

Magana muttered, "That woman is so bold, damn it, Cricket Vainay... I, the Grand Duke, admit she's much better than the Old Emperor."

"Consider this a reward for your service, plus compensation for what happened before," Ryan said, spreading his hands. "The Empress is indeed bold and decisive. Once Wildea is defeated, the Augustus Empire's power will reach its peak."

"What? Ryan, don't let that guy fool you!" Magana warned. "Compensation? That woman tricked you before, you better watch your step!"

Ryan thumped his chest and declared, "Of course I'm wholeheartedly devoted to the Grand Duke!"

"Hmph~ That's more like it." Magana nodded in satisfaction.

How could a cricket like 'Vainay' possibly compare to her?

Don't even think about using small favors to steal her Ryan away!

Ryan chuckled, "My Grand Duke, it's been so long since I've given you a hug."

"?"

"When will you be arriving, Your Grand Duke?"

"I... I'll make some arrangements first, so that the Western Barbarians won't take the opportunity to attack."

Although Ryan didn't say it explicitly, Magana immediately knew what Ryan meant when she heard the word "hug".

"Then make the arrangements as soon as possible, and let me know when the time comes. I will bring you here using the Janus ritual."

"I-I understand, I Grand Duke!" Magana blushed and emphasized, "I'm doing Grand Duke for the Empire, not for that woman, Vainay... Also, don't think about anything lewd!"

Beep~

In an instant, Magana's figure disappeared from the mirror.

Ryan thought to himself, "I didn't even think about it. I just said it out loud, didn't I?"

Besides, you were clearly very immersed in the experience yourself, but afterwards it was all my fault? Sigh, women.
