Chapter 360 Combined Fleet.
"I don't want more benefits, but I want to make an exchange. I will still send out troops and work with the Magical Machinery Empire to take over the Seven-Colored Kingdom. I can even ask for less ownership and shares of the Golden Waterway. But as a condition, the Silver Dragon Kingdom and the Magical Machinery Empire will be allies under fair and equal conditions to help the people in the Twin Islands who are caught in the war get rid of poverty and oppression!"
Arden slowly spoke out his true intention.
There is no need to mention the false reputations and righteous slogans that follow. The essence is to put both parties on the same equal footing.
After saying this, the old man, who was about to explode with anger, calmed down and regained the rationality and composure that a diplomat should have.
Constantine drank the black coffee in his hand in one big gulp.
My mind was spinning rapidly, and I understood everything.
For "autonomy"?
"Then of the 25% of shares that belong to the Seven-Colored Kingdom in the future, 15% will belong to us. In addition, 20% of the Seven-Colored Kingdom's territory will serve as our concession and still belong to you. You need to protect national defense and security, but we have extraterritorial jurisdiction, and we will also collect taxes."
After thinking for a while, Constantine spoke again.
"Yes. I personally believe that the Seven-Colored Royal Family has not done anything against the law. The current chaos is inevitable. As long as it can be pacified, the original royal family and nobles of the Seven-Colored Kingdom can continue to rule. As long as they are willing to protect our interests and follow justice and equality, that will be enough."
Arden readily agreed and spoke again.
The conditions previously offered by the Magical Machinery Empire were equivalent to allowing Arden to temporarily become a younger brother of the Magical Machinery Empire, and as a condition for taking over the Seven-Colored Kingdom, one of the four great kingdoms, he would also be able to get a say in 1/8 of the golden rice.
The two countries will each send troops, and this will be the condition for dividing the spoils after the war.
Compared to the wealthy Hettings Empire, Arden still admires the Magic Machinery Empire, one of the five great empires.
The strength of a country depends not only on its territory and resources, but also on whether the country has the kind of enterprising spirit to make progress.
The Demon Empire is the youngest of the five higher empires, but it still maintains an extremely rapid development trend and has great dreams.
Not to mention the two superior empires in the ocean, they only want to rule the ocean.
We have never claimed any territory on land, and the control of each node is also to ensure the sea lanes.
As for the ancient and more closed Ten Thousand Swords Empire in the East, it was not Arden's cup of tea at all.
In contrast, the Hastings Empire, which is currently following a conservative balance strategy, is intoxicated with its current prosperity.
Or is the Demon Empire better?
When a civilization or country becomes corrupt, its decline is predictable.
However, there is still a high probability that the enterprising empire will be too rigid and easily broken.
but.
It is better to lose one's glory and die in the endless bloody wars than to be defeated in the decay and long years.
After all, the former still has a chance of survival.
After much deliberation, Arden chose the Magical Empire because he didn't want to give up his position and become a younger brother. So he finally chose this compromise method.
As a condition, he once again gave up part of the shares of the Golden Waterway and territory.
After all, politics itself is about compromise, and you can’t have it all.
If what Constantine said just now is followed, then Arden can expand its territory again, but as a condition, the personnel of the Magic Machinery Empire must be stationed on the territory of the Silver Dragon Country, which infringes on the country's sovereignty.
What Arden is doing now is equivalent to preserving the Colorful Kingdom, supporting a puppet royal family, and actually taking away 80% of the territory.
The Magical Empire established concessions on the remaining 20% of the territory. They took over the extraterritorial cup and the financial power, although Arden was still responsible for the military.
But this is tantamount to dividing up the colonies and will not affect the issue of national sovereignty.
Constantine already understood Arden's obsession with reputation, but after achieving his goal, he just pondered and did not express anything.
As long as there is no actual damage, as a pragmatic envoy of the Magical Mechanical Empire, Constantine cares least about the so-called false reputation.
After all, the Chaos Islands are so far away from the continent of Esamund.
As long as he is a little shameless, Constantine can still say that he has won a powerful ally in the Chaos Islands for the Magic Empire.
In short, this time, he can be said to have made a great contribution. Although he may not rise to a high position in the future, he will definitely have made a great political achievement.
-------------------------------------
"boom!"
The army of monsters that covered the sky and the sun and were powerful and fierce formed a sharp contrast with the indestructible, cold and ruthless mechanical fleet made of steel and armor.
One dominated the sky, the other occupied the ocean, and the coalition forces of the two countries successfully set foot on the north shore of the Twin Islands.
"attack!"
At the dock built along the coast, in the colorful kingdom, under the horrified and rejecting gazes of the sailors,
Viscount Lacey-Wenlier, the second commander of the "Steel Armor" Corps of the Magical Machinery Empire stationed in the Chaos Islands, sneered at the defensive corps on the shore and gave orders.
As he pointed his baton, a blue light officially locked onto the sailors' camp on the shore.
Thousands of guns fired!
At the same time, on the fleet, the 3000 soldiers of the Magic Machinery Empire also began various operations extremely quickly.
Under the manipulation of a large number of mechanical alchemists, countless alchemical creations were divided into three batches in an orderly and continuous manner.
Carrying countless artillery fire, they attacked the naval camp near the dock.
The Demon Empire and other empires just want to support one of the nobles and royal families of the Seven-Colored Kingdom to inherit the throne. They want to truly take over this place.
There is an essential difference between the two. One is support and the other is annexation!
The terrifying power of the artillery fire shattered thousands of people into pieces in an instant.
The Seven-Colored Kingdom had deployed more than 3 sailors here, with powerful ships and cannons, including some legendary ones.
However, under the command of dozens of warships by this lieutenant general of the Demon Empire who had not even reached the level of legend, they did not even have the strength to resist.
In the sky, the three legendary warriors who could fly with their own strength all had expressions of shock in their eyes.
What a terrifying lethality!
This time, the Silver Dragon Kingdom and the Magic Machinery Empire under Arden jointly launched an attack.
The Magical Empire arranged a fleet and 3000 people.
Arden sent an army of 10! The monsters flying in the sky were all creatures that could at least fly.
However, the momentum created by these 10 troops is no match for the terror of these 3000 mechanical alchemists.
Arden was observing this scene through the water mirror technique.
He was also filled with pressure in his heart. Due to the rapid growth and rapid increase in strength, the slight complacency in his heart had completely disappeared without a trace.
There are more than 30 warships, and the main guns of each warship can release legendary main gun rays.
Battleship, small cruiser, frigate. Main ship. Four different levels.
These 30-odd warships were not the most advanced creations of the Magical Machinery Empire. They might even be old products from 20 years ago.
However, under the command of these 3000 mechanical alchemists, they unleashed the terrifying power of dozens of legendary alchemists working together!
The strength of the Magical Machinery Empire and the wisdom accumulated through the research of different alchemists over tens of thousands of years were actually demonstrated vividly.
Weak creatures can rely on their wisdom and creations to fight against naturally powerful creatures.
The strength of the empires lies in their respective technologies and precious heritage.
These warships only need to be driven briefly, and the core energy inside, under the control of dozens of mechanics inside, can support a protective shield that is strong enough to withstand the power of legends.
The wisdom of manpower and the masses, combined with the ability to learn, is enough to cross the line and defeat the super-powerful extraordinary life!
One-sided massacre!
Yadun closed the water mirror silently and did not continue to watch.
There is no need to continue watching.
General Wenlier, who noticed this scene, smiled on his expressionless face.
As he continued to conduct his baton,
The artillery fire finally stopped, but the shore had already been completely reduced to ruins. Even the legend was killed by the violent attack of the main gun.
The strength of the empires lies in the fact that they can rely on their own foundation, completely violating the principle that everyone is an ant below a legend, and relying on various methods to cross levels and kill legends!
Unless it involves rules and regulations, even if a legend has comprehended the true meaning of legend, there is a high probability that he will die when facing the legions of the major empires.
Not to mention that when the major empires really got serious, legends were interspersed among their armies.
Minister Constantine has told General Wenlier that as his subordinate, this artillery attack is not only a declaration of force, but also a way for Arden to understand the true level of the Magical Empire. It not only strengthens his confidence, but also shows off his muscles. Even if it is only a part of the force stationed on the Chaos Islands, it is enough to completely flatten a kingdom!
"Come ashore."
There was no sign of life on the dilapidated coastline as the warship approached.
The mechanical magic modules compressed inside the ship through special methods also quickly landed on the island.
They turned into huge, humanoid-shaped, hollow combat puppets.
A shield in one hand and a laser sword in the other.
There is even a jet system installed on the back, which allows it to fly into the sky and fight.
The sophisticated magic energy mechanical structure ensures that these remotely controlled mechanical armies, which rely on magic energy power devices, can continue to fight for a very long time. Flying into the sky, hiding in the ground, and going up to the sky and into the sea are no problem.
-------------------------------------
The news of the invasion by the Magical Machinery Empire and the Silver Dragon Kingdom shocked all parties in the Colorful Kingdom!
When the news reached the Ryan Empire.
The furious old emperor smashed the table in front of him made of precious colored glass with one punch.
"Damn barbarians! Nothing but war! Just a bunch of gamblers, damn lunatics."
Faced with the emperor's angry scolding, all the ministers lowered their heads at the same time.
The actions of the Magical Empire disrupted their plans and pushed the situation to another extreme.
Their original idea of expanding their interests in the Chaos Islands is unlikely to succeed. The civil war that was originally limited to the Seven Color Kingdom is likely to expand.
It is normal for Your Majesty to get angry.
"Hmph, are you planning to support another kingdom to completely divide the world into four parts? I wonder if the Finks Federation will accept it? Are the other two empires willing to have another competitor?"
After being angry, the old emperor finally regained his composure, and immediately ordered the kingdom's foreign minister to negotiate with the members of the Finks Federation and the other three empires.
The Demon Fish Empire, the Sea Man Empire, and the Hastings Empire would never so easily watch the Magic Machinery Empire take away the cake that belongs to them.
After all, they really provided resources, wealth and weapons, and supported the three heirs to the throne to fight this war. How could they be willing to watch the meat on the plate being snatched away?
The old emperor himself does not want to fight a war, even if the situation is bad now. At the very least, he cannot be the first to appear and intend to incite the other major empires to take action first.
It wasn't just the old emperor Ryan who had his own plans. Faced with the news that the Magic Machinery Empire and the Silver Dragon Kingdom were invading the Twin Islands, each empire also had its own response.
At the same time, the soldiers and personnel of the Magic Empire in the Chaos Islands began to withdraw.
Their originally aggressive attitude suddenly became gentle.
If you are still not "satisfied" after eating a big piece of cake in one bite, then you will be hated by others.
