Chapter 432: Persuading the Red Dragon (Additional 5)
The Quadrilateral Conference, also known as the Dolphin Island Conference, was a high-level meeting that remained unknown for a long time, but played a crucial role in the subsequent war.
There are no eternal alliances between countries, only eternal interests.
What's more, the major overlords of the Old Continent have always been fighting openly and secretly.
The Bonaparte Empire and the Slavic Empire were located in the west and east respectively, and the distance between them was too far, so the territorial conflicts were not that great.
However, there was always competition between the Bonaparte Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia over maritime trade, colonial ownership, mining and other areas.
There are various forms of competition, overt and covert, interception, piracy, price wars, which are all normal.
How good is the relationship?
It's a joke!
For example, this time, although it was called a coalition force, the Kingdom of Sardinia also sent an army, but from beginning to end, it was almost invisible.
They did almost nothing and ran much faster than Bonaparte's legions!
This meeting, of course, cannot resolve these contradictions, but it is about seeking common ground while reserving differences.
All disharmony was suppressed, and everything was centered around war!
So, don’t think that it is just a few pieces of paper and a signature. When all four parties approve it, the agreement becomes sacred and inviolable.
However, this meeting also laid a huge hidden danger!
The final supplementary topic seemed to be a source of endless arguments and did not seem to affect the sincere cooperation among all parties. However, its power was revealed only much later.
Only then did people realize that irreconcilable contradictions had already emerged.
Of course, what Luo Yi didn't expect was that he thought he was just a middleman and making some profit from the difference.
But in the end, you will become the innocent victim!
He doesn't know all this now, so he is still preparing for his underwater journey.
…
Inside the Golden House.
The magic mirror lights up, the lens shakes, and the scenery on the earth is revealed like a fleeting glimpse and a quick tour.
All you can see are two trenches hundreds of meters apart on the undulating ground, like two parallel lines.
Inside the trench, there were two groups of soldiers, clearly wearing different uniforms, lying there and fighting.
Some parts are rather dull, without even a ripple; some parts are more intense, with machine gun fire and close combat.
It is worth mentioning that the coalition forces have made great improvements.
At least, you don't see groups of knights charging, nor do you see soldiers wearing heavy knight armor swaggering on the ground.
Occasionally, when charging, they have to lie on the ground and crawl forward, requiring agility and speed.
Although there are magical weapons, their number is small and they are all held by elite soldiers and are generally not deployed.
Therefore, cold weapons are still the mainstream, and most people use some light short spears or sharp short swords.
Using cold weapons to resist bullets and shells, can you imagine the scene of mowing the grass?
Therefore, the coalition forces focused on defense.
Let the imperial soldiers charge, and once they reach the trenches, they can engage in hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons. As long as they are fierce enough, they can repel the enemy.
In this way, with the help of more extraordinary strong men taking the lead in fighting, they withstood attack after attack.
Of course, from time to time, the two sides would engage in bombardment.
On the Empire's side, the magic artillery fired at full power, and the explosions plowed the positions over and over again.
Many people were not killed by the explosion, but were shocked to death. They looked fine on the outside, but their internal organs were shattered.
Blood gushed out of all his orifices and he stopped breathing. It was a miserable sight.
Although the coalition forces also had magic cannons, their accuracy and range were insufficient.
Therefore, they fought back with magic cannons, catapults, large magic crossbows, and the mage group's range killing magic.
The most prominent feature is that the quality is not enough, but the quantity makes up for it.
In terms of lethality and accuracy, it is naturally much worse, but because of its varied styles, it can occasionally play a good role.
For example, large-scale magic like earthquake and meteor shower can always catch the imperial soldiers off guard.
Of course, in terms of the intensity of the war, not to mention being comparable to the Battle of the Marne, even some of the previous battles could not compare to it.
It may also be that they have seen the climax of the battlefield, so this kind of thing now is too mediocre.
Everyone found it boring, and the Magic Eye Alliance had to keep searching to find some relatively intense battlefields to broadcast live.
The red dragon Virgil sat cross-legged on his golden bed, his back hunched, looking like an ordinary old man.
After hearing what Luo Yi said, he finally took his eyes off the magic mirror, tilted his head slightly, looked at Luo Yi, and asked, "Wait, what did you just say?"
"You want to go to the underwater world, to the city of R'lyeh? To rescue that little mermaid? To negotiate business with the Naga princess?"
Luo Yi asked: "Do you think it is feasible?"
"Are you crazy?"
"The Sea People have their own logic and customs. In today's terms, that's their culture, barbaric and bloody.
If you want to do business with them, it won’t be easy! "
This was the evaluation given by the Red Dragon Virgil, who then asked, "So, if you can avoid going, don't go!"
Luo Yi said, "Even if the business deal doesn't work out, I still have to save the Siren King Alexios. He's my important partner."
This is true. Silver amber is the bulk of the underwater trade, and Loy has become the largest supplier of silver amber in the northern magic world of the empire.
In the past, he had to hide it, but now he is open and aboveboard.
After a slight pause, Luo Yi asked again: "So, are you going or not?"
The red dragon Virgil shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no!"
"I'm a dragon! An ancient red dragon! I breathe fire!"
"You let me soak in the lava like a hot bath, but running to the bottom of the sea, I can't display my strength!"
"I'll give you shares, shares of Raymond Magic Energy Group, okay?"
“This, this…”
“Your Excellency the Bishop, you should have seen the booming business in the territory.
Last year, it was just a small test, but look at it now, the industrial zone is about to explode, and various industries have increased several times.
As far as profits are concerned, if it’s not ten times what it was last year by the end of this year, you can come to me for trouble.
So, before you say no, think about last year’s earnings?
Think about the tenfold increase in profits?
Finally, think about another 2% gain? "
"Use your dragon arithmetic to calculate, what a huge fortune that would be!!"
Luo Yi's words were plain, but to the ears of the red dragon Virgil, they sounded like the devil's temptation.
His eyes unconsciously became bloodshot and turned into dragon pupils, but he still struggled and said, "I want 5%, yes, only 5%, and I will accompany you to the underwater world.
Don't worry, I'm here with you. Even if there's a riot in the Naga Empire, I can keep you safe."
Luo Yi slowly shook his head: "5% is too much, but if you can convince Grand Duke Karen to go with you, I will agree!"
"You mean, give me 3%, give him 2%, and then let us both take risks together with you?
Moreover, I have to help you persuade Edward Cullen, that guy who only knows how to hide away from the world. Do you think it is possible?"
The red dragon Virgil seemed very angry and jumped up directly with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Chloe's next words made him quiet down.
"What I mean is, I'm the one who gave you the 5% stake! As for how to convince Grand Duke Edward Cullen, that's your business..."
With just one sentence, the Red Dragon Virgil's expression froze, and countless ways to persuade Grand Duke Karen flashed through his mind.
The only thing they didn’t use was Jintiel, they used shares!
After a pause, Luo Yi continued: "Also, it should be noted that this trip to the underwater world of R'lyeh City,
We are going to save people and also to do business!"
"If you can avoid fighting, don't fight. The main purpose is to deter others!"
"I believe that even that princess will remain calm when facing these two legends!"
"I know, I know! That's the underwater world. If it weren't a crisis, I wouldn't take action."
"Is it settled then?"
"That's settled!"
Bang bang bang!
They clapped their hands in oath, and three crisp sounds echoed throughout the golden house.
Then, the red dragon Virgil saw that Loy's nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes.
"Are you okay? If you are, please leave early. I am annoyed when I see you."
"Let's go, but you have to pay attention to the matter! I have to leave tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.
If you can't handle Grand Duke Karen, then I'm sorry, you'll only have 3% of the shares left. Don't accuse me of being dishonest."
“Get out, get out, get out!”
Luo Yi left with brisk steps, but the red dragon Virgil stared at the magic mirror and became more and more angry.
Then, the magic power surged, and the magic mirror screen went black.
He hurried out of the temple, out of the city of Brussels, and headed towards the Dome Mountains.
This kid Luo Yi is very annoying, but gold is innocent, so even if he has to be kidnapped, Grand Duke Karen has to go with him.
…
Luo Yi's style of doing things has always been to worry about failure before thinking about success!
Therefore, he likes to consider all risks in advance and make arrangements as much as possible.
And why did he dare to go to the city of R'lyeh?
Or was it because he was confident in his own strength? A fourth-tier natural disaster was as powerful as a fifth-tier one, and with the addition of two genuine legendary masters...
He just doesn't believe it!
What kind of dangerous place is the city of Naralaye that prevents him from going there?
It is worth mentioning that the Flame Sword Saint Otto went to Oakland City to replace the Iron Knight Phil.
In the beginning, the reason why Loy sent the Iron Knight to guard Maruna was because he was a standard guardian knight with strong defense and a griffin mount.
When encountering danger, he can ride his mount and take Maruna away, which is more suitable than Otto who is good at attacking.
But now, he was going to the underwater world, and Otto's fire attribute fighting spirit became a limitation, so he went to Auckland City through the empire's portal.
The purpose is to replace Iron Knight Phil.
And on this trip, Luo Yi didn't plan to bring too many people. The lowest level would be level four, otherwise it would be more harmful than helpful to go to the bottom of the sea!
Of course, some follow-up arrangements are still necessary. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
After all this was done, it was already two days later. The Red Dragon Virgil returned with Grand Duke Karen.
Although his expression looked a little grim, he still nodded gracefully to Luo Yi.
Then, a group of people headed towards the Silver Sea in a mighty procession.
There, the blood gate teleportation array unique to the underwater world has been prepared.
Here comes the first update!
