"The Teda Free Federation actually recognized the territory of Barbara Country in the north of Jie Chuang Mountain... Didn't they say that things were very tense before?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
Of course, Guan Liyuan actually cared more about another thing - the army from the Holy Root Empire!
Guan Liyuan had already questioned his own judgment. He wanted to risk alerting the enemy and force his way into the underground city. If he didn't find anything special, he would leave for the north.
And at this moment, the Holy Root Empire, as the "suspected party", was actually coming to the southwest in the name of the Snake People's Chrysanthemum!
"In fact, it is largely Mr. Guan's credit..." Heywood looked at Guan Liyuan, who had no sense of consciousness, strangely.
"Me? What did I do?" Guan Liyuan was even more confused.
"His Majesty the King, the Zuting, and the Magic Fairy Castle, have often had envoys come to visit Mr. Guan recently, right? Although Mr. Guan did not directly promise anything, he still accepted all the gifts, so the outside world believed that he was more inclined to Barbara Country." Heywood said.
In fact, Heywood knew that the reason why Guan Liyuan accepted the gift was simply because he never refused anyone who came to him. Guan Liyuan refused every invitation to a deeper level... It is estimated that it would be the same if the Teda Free Federation came to give gifts!
"In addition, the Holy Ruth Empire suddenly recognized our territory north of Jie Chuang Mountain and showed a posture of cooperation, so in order to maintain its control over the southwest, the Teda Free Federation had to recognize it as well." Heywood continued.
That's right, the Teda Free Federation's initial "non-recognition" was for the purpose of suppression, and the reason why it was wary of the Barbara Kingdom was because of Guan Liyuan, who was "suspected to be a demigod."
And the reason for "recognition" now is that if it continues to be stubborn, it is very likely that the Holy Ruth Empire and the Barbara Kingdom will directly bypass him to reach a cooperation, and because of the existence of Guan Liyuan, who was "suspected to be a demigod", the Teda Free Federation cannot directly use violence to interfere. Instead of
letting the Barbara Kingdom completely climb up the Holy Ruth Empire and get rid of the Teda Free Federation, it is better for the Teda Free Federation to take the initiative to lead this matter and maintain its authority in the southwest.
In this way, it became the Teda Free Federation, instructing the six southwestern countries to cooperate with the Holy Root Empire...
And unlike the northern territory, the Southwestern Allied Forces successfully defeated the Snake People's Clan, which also opened up the territory for the southwest and the Teda Free Federation. It does not border the Eastern Holy Root Empire. The Teda Free Federation does not have to pay anything, and if it wins, it can also share the benefits. For the Holy Root Empire, winning is only of strategic significance.
"But the Teda Free Federation actually lent the Holy Root Empire a passage... How many people came? Did they go to Barbara City?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"It is said that there are only 800 people, but the weakest is also a seventh-level warrior, more than ten saints." Heywood said the intelligence he "heard".
If we look at it purely from the perspective of war, the reason why the Holy Root Empire wants to cooperate with the six southwestern countries this time is that they need them to provide a large number of "cannon fodder".
After all, the Holy Root Empire is in the east, and if the large army is transferred to the southwest, there will be no time to do anything.
Therefore, sending an elite independent war group and then cooperating with the six southwestern countries is indeed a win-win situation. For the six southwestern countries, although there may be considerable sacrifices, defeating or severely damaging the Snake People's Clan will have direct benefits for them, so they are not scapegoats.
However, considering that the Holy Root Empire is likely to be controlled by Medusa to a certain extent, Guan Liyuan feels that things are not that simple...
"Did the emperor of the Holy Root Empire lead the army in person?" Guan Liyuan asked specifically.
Because one of the suspected Medusas is the new concubine of the Holy Root Empire.
"Of course not, it should... not be to the extent that the emperor needs to lead the army in person. The specific itinerary is still unknown, but it must be from the Barbara Kingdom." Heywood was obviously a little confused. Why did Guan Liyuan have the idea of the Holy Root Emperor leading the army in person?
"No? Then... does the Holy Root Empire have any tradition of imperial concubines accompanying the army?" Guan Liyuan asked.
Heywood held it in for a long time, and then simply replied: "No."
What kind of tradition is an imperial concubine accompanying the army? Heywood is now completely unable to keep up with Guan Liyuan's pace...
Guan Liyuan did not say anything more - think about it, even if the suspicious imperial concubine comes, she may not come in this identity.
Guan Liyuan still has to go and see for himself to know whether it is the two Medusas.
After that, Guan Liyuan also went to find Gunter. He had more comprehensive information and even had the marching route of the Southwest Allied Forces, because the Holy Ruth Empire also hired a group of combat forces from the Earth Dwarf Society and needed to borrow a road from the Dwarf Kingdom... and
after looking at the marching route, Guan Liyuan finally understood why Gunter did not take the initiative to inform Guan Liyuan of this matter - the intelligence of the Earth Dwarf Society should be much faster than that of the Storm God Cult.
The reason is precisely because Storm City... to be more precise, the Barmen Mountains, is actually one of the routes for the Snake People's Chrysanthemum, and a small group of elite troops will set out from Storm City.
This is undoubtedly what the Earth Dwarfs don't want to see. They wish no one would pay attention to this place. However, an overly fierce refusal would only make people more concerned. Therefore, the final result of the negotiation was that the Earth Dwarfs would be the main force of this route, and only a small number of the Empire's elite and the Southwest's elite would come here.
After learning this news, Guan Liyuan was no longer anxious to wait in Storm City...
Speed is of the essence.
Three days later, the 100-man team of the Holy Root Empire, the Iron Guard led by Valen, and a group of Magic Fairy Guards from Magic Fairy Castle came to Storm City together. Thousands of goblin mechas and hundreds of dwarf warriors were also ready to go.
As a "suspected demigod", Guan Liyuan was naturally the target of the Saint Rut Empire's surprise attack group, and Guan Liyuan took the initiative to visit this passing surprise attack group...
At the same time, he also understood why the Demon Fairy Castle Master borrowed Valen's box last time - half of the Demon Fairy Guards were women, and the leader was also a woman. Guan Liyuan looked familiar for a while, and then realized that this was the "maid" who followed the Demon Fairy Castle Master at that time. Now that the Demon Fairy Castle Master is not here, this person and Valen have let themselves go, and obviously have a relationship beyond the boundaries of comrades.
At that time, the Demon Fairy Castle Master did not want to alarm others, and because the "maid" next to him had this relationship, he directly occupied Valen's box...
"Mr. Guan, let me introduce you, this is Kaili, the commander-in-chief of the Saint Rut Empire's Bamen Mountain Surprise Attack Group." Valen introduced Guan Liyuan.
"This is the 'Guan Baihu' who scared away the second-generation Doulong Fasheng at the Southwest Auction Conference? I have heard of you for a long time." Kaili looked like a young officer, and his attitude was quite polite.
However... Guan Liyuan felt a little uncomfortable with the nickname "Guan Baihu" that had become popular at some point!
At this moment, a female officer next to Kaili, whom Guan Liyuan did not know, suddenly said, "Compared to the title of 'Pure as Ice and Jade', does 'Guan Baihu' make you feel uncomfortable? Hehehe..."
Guan Liyuan's eyes suddenly turned cold...
In this plane, no one should know the title of "Pure as Ice and Jade"!
Even among the Queen of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave and the Lord of Terror who "might" be here, only the latter who had once split himself into the paradise knew this title!
