Looking at Abaddon's constantly shifting gaze, a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. This guy was probably having an internal struggle.
He pushed his wine glass towards him and said with a smile, "You've all come from afar, so please don't be shy and try the delicacies of my Great Liang!"
"Forehead!"
Abaddon could only smile wryly. With such a deep doubt in his heart, he couldn't even stomach the most exquisite delicacies.
With a sudden thought, he glanced at Morandi beside him and gave him a wink. He had been in Great Liang for so many days, so he was bound to recognize him somewhat.
Besides, he only needed to throw out a brick to get the jaded one; Lin Yi naturally knew the rest.
Cough cough!
Receiving a knowing glance from his emperor, Morandi feigned curiosity and asked, "Your Majesty, you've invited the Great West Empire to divide up territory this time. May I ask where exactly?"
Upon hearing his question, Abaddon and A Long immediately sat up straight, awaiting Lin Yi's answer.
This answer is extremely important; it concerns the future direction of the Great West Empire.
Ha ha!
Seeing their expressions, Lin Yi smiled slightly. This idea of dividing up territory was nonsense; it was just an excuse.
After all, although the territory of Great Liang is vast, every inch of it was won by our soldiers with their lives, so we naturally cannot give it to them.
However, there is another trick with the lowest cost and the best advantage these days: empty promises, which are what those in power are best at.
He glanced at Morandi and said mysteriously, "I never speak empty words. Since you've said this, it's certainly not without reason."
Once the Great Liang conquers the Zhennan Dynasty, it will border the Frostwest Empire. Brother Aba, don't you think the Frostwest Empire, sandwiched between us, is somewhat of an eyesore?"
Frostwest Empire!
Upon hearing this, Abaddon's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up; these were the words he most wanted to hear.
The other party's meaning was quite clear: the territory Lin Yi wanted to divide with him was the Frostwest Empire.
That makes sense, since once the Great Liang destroys Zhennan, the next target will undoubtedly be the Frostwest Empire, which is perfectly reasonable.
The best option is for the two countries to attack the Frostwest Empire from both sides; the Frostwest Empire would likely be crushed very quickly.
However, after careful consideration, he became somewhat hesitant.
If the Frostwest Empire could be destroyed, that would naturally be a great thing. But if the Frostwest Empire were destroyed, he would have to face the behemoth that is Great Liang alone, which would not be so pleasant.
If the Black Skull Army is wiped out by the overlord of the Land of the Far West, then we will be caught in the middle and attacked by two major forces. This is a repeat of the Frostwest Empire, and we absolutely cannot be careless about it.
but...
"Hehe!"
Seeing the struggle flashing in his eyes, Guo Jia's eyes narrowed into a smile, thinking to himself, "Knowing it's poisonous, it's still irresistible!"
Guo Jia had already studied the history of the Great West Empire.
It can be said that for more than a hundred years, the Great West Empire was being thoroughly humiliated by the Frostwest Empire. Only after Abaddon's father came to power did things begin to improve, but it was still a period of being dominated.
It wasn't until Abaddon came to power that his strong leadership gave the Great West Empire a significant boost, allowing them to gain a certain advantage.
Therefore, this has become an obsession for Abaddon regarding the Frostwest Empire.
Unfortunately, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Frostwest Empire is in decline, its strength is still considerable. If they rely on themselves, it will take at least more than ten years to defeat the Frostwest Empire.
Now that the Emperor has thrown out such bait, it's exactly what they wanted. The only problem is probably that after the Great Liang destroys the Frostwest Empire, they might attack them again.
This is a tempting piece of cheese, but it's poisonous. Let's see if Abaddon can resist it.
A Long and Morandi, standing to the side, both looked worried. This suggestion was very dangerous, and they couldn't help but look at their king, hoping he could make the right choice.
" The Frostwest Empire!"
Abaddon's eyes showed struggle several times, and he almost broke the chopsticks in his hand with his fingers, but in the end he managed to resist the urge to agree to the suggestion.
He knew that once he agreed to the agreement with Great Liang, even if he destroyed the Frostwest Empire, he would become the next Frostwest Empire.
This risk is too great.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lin, this matter needs further consideration. I need to go back and discuss it before I can give an answer."
call!
A Long and the others breathed a sigh of relief; His Majesty was indeed still rational.
"Haha, of course. The main purpose of this gathering is to invite you all here for a small get-together, which can be considered a gathering of people from our Eastern continent. As for dividing up territory, that's secondary!" Lin Yi said calmly, showing no sign of anger.
It was just a random move, and whether it will have an effect or not is not a big deal; it won't affect the overall situation.
Their goal is clear: all they need is to throw the West into chaos. As for why they should divide up territory, wouldn't it be better to take it all themselves?
If we then conquer the Frostwest Empire, leaving only Abaddon, he will be utterly powerless to resist.
Even if Abaddon doesn't fall for it this time, he can retaliate by giving Bill III the same thing.
Even if neither side falls for the trap, he still has the Black Skull Army to utilize. The Black Skull Army is currently heavily infiltrated by the Net, making it perfectly legitimate to use them as troublemakers.
Considering all these factors, the other side's desire for a stable alliance is simply wishful thinking.
Forehead!
Seeing that Lin Yi's expression remained unchanged, Abaddon's heart sank.
The opponent's composure suggests he is already confident of victory. No wonder he is the Great Emperor Zhenwu who swept across the East; his calm demeanor is truly awe-inspiring.
Although Lin Yi was younger than him, Abaddon did not dare to underestimate him at all, and even felt a little wary.
The strength of the Great Liang is undeniable; with its current power, the Great Liang definitely surpasses that of the Great West Empire, so he doesn't want to offend the Great Liang too much.
A thought struck him, and he said with a smile, "Brother Lin, what's the situation in Zhennan now? Do we need Great West's help to stab them in the back?"
"Ha ha!"
Sensing his probing intent, Lin Yi shook his head and laughed, "Right now, Zhennan is just making a death throes effort; they won't last much longer."
Brother Aba, why don't you keep an eye on the Land of the Far West? If they make any moves, send someone to warn my Great Liang. That would be the best help you can give."
It's the Land of the Far West again!
Abaddon's face stiffened. Lin Yi's emphasis on this Land of the Far West was probably no joke.
He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on things for you. But if one day they launch a full-scale attack, I will need your help!"
