Chapter 475: Pre-War Speech (Additional 15)

A moment later,

Old Freud turned off the magic mirror, and only Roy and Grand Duchess Aphra were left talking face to face.

If the conversation just now was between the heads of two families, now it is a conversation between mother and son.

The mother and son looked at each other in silence, without saying a word.

After a moment, it was Grand Duchess Aphra who spoke first: "Loy, I hope you can understand that I made this choice because I have too much to bear.

We have our own families behind us, so we have no right to act arbitrarily."

Luo Yi nodded: "I understand!"

Grand Duchess Aphra's face darkened, but she pulled herself together and asked, "How confident are you in this battle?"

"Without a real battle, who knows?"

Luo Yi finally shook off his emotions and said with a smile, "The three empires joining forces is the right choice for you. However, my Flower Territory has become the fattest fish on the chopping board.

If this battle is not fought with flying colors, who knows how many people will remember it in the future."

"So, don't try to persuade me."

"You've made up your mind, just do it. What can a mother do for you?"

Luo Yi was about to refuse, but seemed to have thought of something and asked abruptly: "I heard that the Norman family has a legendary strongman?"

Grand Duchess Afra hesitated for only a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes! This is the foundation of the Principality."

"Can you get in touch?"

“You can try.”

"If possible, I hope my mother can help me contact him and tell him that I want to ask him to do a mission."

"This might not be easy. Legendary warriors aren't that..."

"One million gold teel!"

"cough!"

"The commission is one million gold tyres, and he doesn't need to fight to the death. He just needs to show up at the critical moment and intimidate any possible legendary masters of the same level."

Even Grand Duchess Aphra's expression froze when she heard the number one million gold sterling.

This appearance fee is enough even for a legend!

Back then, Count Karl Raymond asked the Empire for help in developing the magic industry, and all the projects combined only cost 500,000 gold tyres.

But now, what Luo Yi casually took out was one million gold tyres.

Even Grand Duchess Aphra couldn't ignore this amount. She paused and said, "Shall I ask for you?"

"good!"

After the conversation ended, the magic mirror went out and turned completely into a mirror surface. Then, only Luo Yi's figure was reflected in the mirror.

After a long silence, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of sarcasm, a little helplessness, a little self-mockery, but most of all, he was free and easy!

In such an era, he has been preparing for so long, isn't it just for this day?

Although he didn't dare to say that he would win, he was confident that anyone who came would lose their teeth.

Cheer up, Luo Yi walked out of the secret room. He stepped on the magic carpet and went all the way down. After reaching the first floor, he strode out.

His back looked somewhat dejected, bleak, and nervous at first, but as he took steps, he became firm, tall, and fearless.

Fear is human instinct, and there is nothing wrong with that. Therefore, only courage is the hymn of mankind!

At this moment, even without activating the [Lion King], the high will to fight completely swept away the haze in his heart.

The direction he was heading was the meeting hall.

…

The conference hall was full of people. The atmosphere was a bit depressing, but within the oppression, it was filled with restless hearts.

Ever since the news of Luo Yi's poisoning spread, the powerful people and managers stationed in various places were the first to get restless.

They know better than anyone how exaggerated the benefits of Flower Collar are.

As a matter of interest, they absolutely do not want this big tree to fall.

Almost as soon as they received the news, they sent a letter to the Lion Manor. Perhaps the only thing that made them feel at ease was that the Lord's Mansion replied quite promptly.

There was not even any empty talk about asking them to stay where they were. Instead, they were given transfer orders, asking them to arrange their work and then return to Lion Manor.

Then, almost everyone chose to put down what they were doing and return to Brussels as quickly as possible.

However, they did not meet Luo Yi immediately, but were arranged with accommodation so that they could wait in peace.

To be honest, this ambiguous attitude is most likely to make people suspicious. I don't know how many people are secretly worried.

Some people are trying to find out more information by seeking connections; some are trying to find out the truth; some are even thinking about a way out.

Especially those extraordinary people and natural disasters who have just joined the company, they have the most thoughts under the unexpected circumstances, and their behaviors and reactions are all strange and varied.

As I said, human hearts cannot stand the test, and Luo Yi has never thought of testing people's hearts.

Trample!

Trample!

In the quiet meeting hall, there were sudden footsteps. The sound was not heavy, but clear enough to be heard, attracting everyone's attention.

Even the most obtuse person could sense at this moment that a powerful and terrifying aura was rising and spreading, filling up the huge conference hall.

It also makes everyone feel the irresistible solemnity, majesty and vast light under this atmosphere.

Luo Yi walked in from the main entrance of the conference hall. As he walked forward, he saw benches on both sides, which were already full of people.

As Flower Territory grew stronger, more and more powerful people above the extraordinary and managers at all levels came, and the conference hall was already full, even a little crowded.

But even so, at a glance, you can see the clear distinction.

For example, on Luo Yi's left, there are mainly third-order extraordinary people, and those sitting in the front are old people who are receiving flowers.

Led by Vincent Ackerman, Thor Dean who failed to break through, Magic Captain Walter, and Lien Vasquez, there are more than ten people including Cole Isaac, Tanya and others.

The next few were recruited after Roy, and there were also more than ten people, but they had no foundation and basically united around the current Police Chief Sike Francis and Hector Hunter who had successfully broken through.

On Luo Yi's right side are basically civil servants, mainly divided into four groups.

The finance department, headed by Mira Greenman, consists of members recruited by the Empire and some of the original scholars of the Raymond family.

The magic factory department headed by Maruna is responsible for the production of various magic machinery. Its members include those transferred from the Roy Fitz Magic Group and talents trained later.

Then there is the construction department headed by Lord Hick Cruz, who built almost all the railways and mines.

The main personnel under his command are still the natives of Flower Territory, but most of those who occupy high positions are professionals sent from the empire.

However, they were not suitable for such an occasion, so Schick had the fewest people under his command and they looked the oldest.

This old man is a man who is dedicated to doing practical things and is not obsessed with power.

Finally, the new city construction department headed by Julius Martin is in charge of the construction of the two new cities and can be described as a money-eating beast.

His team is basically composed of his classmates, friends and recruited professionals.

Many of them were poached from other great designers. After all, great designers are not short of money, but it is hard to say about the people under them.

The real work is often done by the people below.

In fact, there are two other groups under Luo Yi's command, one is the intelligence department headed by Ang, and the Axe Gang.

Another one is headed by Butler Hoover and involves many traditional industries.

However, they all considered themselves servants of the Raymond family and were unwilling to fight for a seat in such an occasion.

Further forward on the bench, closer to the top, are the seats for the fourth-level natural disaster masters.

On the left are the traditional retainers of the Raymond family, Guardian Oliveira, Iron Knight Phil, Flame Sword Saint Otto, Water Mage Ms. Palacios, and the newly promoted fourth-level Alfonso Zeke.

They were deeply trusted by Luo Yi, participated in many secret events, and enjoyed shares in the Raymond Group. The dividends alone were enough for them to practice every year.

They are deeply bound to Xianhualing!

On the right are the new powerful Scourge, the half-giant Bane, the faceless killer Ulysses, the ice hunter Jude Stephens, the mechanical monster Nehemiah von Braun, the great alchemist Benito Floyd, and the king of rage Silas.

They have just joined and have not made any contribution yet, so this is the time when they most want to show their abilities.

Even the furious king Silas did not dare to enter the forest as he had done before, and he disappeared without a trace.

When he received the news, he set off almost immediately, riding the griffin leader and flying directly back.

Perhaps it was the affection he developed from the fight, but he was quite impressed by Luo Yi and didn't believe that Luo Yi was poisoned. He insisted on rushing in with a clamor.

Oliveira and the others couldn't stop him at all. In the end, it was Luo Yi who stepped in to calm him down.

It was only a few dozen steps, but Luo Yi seemed to have walked for a long time. Wherever he passed, everyone stood up in unison, their eyes following his figure.

When he reached the platform, Luo Yi turned around, looked around, and met everyone's gaze.

Then, his resonant voice rang out: "I understand your confusion. I can tell you frankly that I have been poisoned by the Tears of Rees, but this little poison is harmless to me."

"The reason I allowed the news to spread and people to panic was to see where my enemies were.

Whether it’s inside or outside.”

"I'm very pleased with you all. There may be some concerns, but no one has done anything out of the ordinary!"

"Those people outside didn't let me down. Those who should have jumped out did."

As he said this, Luo Yi picked up three declarations of war and said, "Since they want to fight, then I will grant them war!"

"I will use swords and cannonballs to tell them that the territory of the Lion King is not a place they can covet."

"I want to tell the entire Helka world that Flower Territory will never allow itself to be bullied."

"There is endless wealth here, but if you want to obtain it, you must follow my rules."

"So, tell me, can you fight?"

Luo Yi roared the last sentence, and the [Lion King] exploded, stirring up the emotions of the entire conference hall.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The roars were somewhat scattered at first, but later on they became one, and the roaring sound waves swept across the land, even reaching outside the lord's mansion.

It was also from this moment that the martial law in Lion Manor was completely lifted, followed by a vigorous military preparation for war!

After preparing for so long, Luo Yi felt that the lion would eventually show its fangs and claws.
