Using a special method, Irene discovered a secret channel.

In the channel, Rosen and Zhuoya can communicate directly.

To be more precise, it is negotiation.

"Rosen, you've gone too far. You've driven my grandfather crazy. He wants to start a full-scale war against the Natural Alliance, and even unite with the elves."

Zhuoya's tone was calm, but her words were scary.

Rosen certainly knew her purpose, which was nothing more than to use her as a bargaining chip to gain greater benefits in the subsequent cooperation negotiations.

So he immediately refuted it.

"This news is really disappointing. But I must say that I have in my hands the irrefutable evidence that you have united with the elves and other races."

“The reason why I didn’t release it is not because I can’t do it, but because I don’t want to push things to the point where there is no going back.”

Zhuoya was well prepared.

"This incident will indeed have a great impact on our reputation among the people, but it is not fatal. As long as we win the final victory on the battlefield, we can still make up for it."

She responded, and Rosen agreed.

No one is perfect, and the same goes for national leaders. They can have thousands of flaws and defects, but as long as they have the strongest violence in their hands, they can still maintain their position.

The best way to demonstrate the strongest violence is to win a foreign war.

The biggest reason why the Lion King Dange was forced to step down so easily was that he lost the naval battle against Weilan.

So Rosen played a card that had real deterrent power.

"I have not been idle in the past six months."

"Not only did I send a large number of troops to the Giant Fortress, I also made every effort to produce a large number of combat weapons, including thousands of unmanned explosive aircraft, millions of explosive shells, and 100 battleships!"

"At the same time, in the border area between the Gilded Strait and the Storm Ocean, I threw countless triggered explosive bombs into the sea, which were enough to stop the Glorious Fleet."

"I have also buried countless trample-triggered explosive bombs in the mud on the uninhabited mountains next to the Giant Fortress. They are enough to block any ground infiltration."

"I know you guys are developing a lot of anti-aircraft weapons, but I'm doing it too!"

"Detection arrays, sniper weapons, intensive attack arrays, and a large number of air-raid shelters have been dug in various cities to avoid air raids."

"If a war really breaks out, I may lose, but you must also be prepared for the loss of a million soldiers."

Obviously, these results are not much different from those deduced by Zhuoya's war think tank, and such a result is something the Glorious Empire cannot afford.

Even without waiting for the war to be over, people's livelihood in the empire will inevitably decline, resentment will arise, a large anti-war wave will appear, and even chaos will inevitably occur.

It would be fine if there was hope of victory, but it is obvious that this is a war with no hope of victory.

Because Zhuoya knew that once the Glorious Empire fell into such a quagmire of war and its strength was greatly damaged, the Holy Elf Empire would definitely stab it in the back and send the empire directly into the abyss.

So she remained silent.

As the builder of the secret channel, Irene could naturally hear the conversation between the two parties.

She urged, “Cousin, what are you hesitating about?”

"If the Natural Alliance wants to unify, we can interfere, but we certainly can't start a full-scale war because it has nothing to do with our empire."

"I know you're going to say there is a connection. From a grand strategic point of view, it does. But for the vast majority of people in our country, even if our country closes its borders and lives its own life, we can still live well. Why should we meddle in the affairs of the alliance?"

This made sense and broke the deadlock in the negotiations.

Zhuoya sighed and said the most crucial words.

"I have to listen to my grandfather, or I will die."

Irene was silent for a moment.

Of course she knew the final answer, but she didn't dare to say it.

As an outsider, Rosen has no such concerns.

He said bluntly: "Then let him die."

"It's not possible at the moment. The First Shadow Guard has expanded to 30,000 people. I took advantage of the expansion to squeeze in some spies, but they only occupied marginal positions."

"My influence on the First Shadow Guard is very limited, and they are grandfather's loyal hounds. With just one order from grandfather, they can tear apart anyone in the palace, including me."

Although she already possesses legendary power, this power is only strong in single combat.

Faced with a group of well-trained combat corps equipped with the most advanced thermal weapons, the only way to survive is to run away.

They can't run away because they are equipped with a large number of legendary magic weapons and their grandfather is watching them.

Rosen immediately said, "Then we can use a surprise attack and decapitation. As long as we kill the Lord of Glory quietly, without the Lord's First Shadow Guard, he will be at your disposal."

Zhuoya took a deep breath and said, "This should be the only way, but I can't do it alone. I need help."

Rosen knew the other party would say this, and he also knew that the other party had not finished speaking, so he waited patiently.

"Rosen, if you are willing to help, as soon as I succeed in ascending the throne, I will immediately order an end to this crazy all-out war, restore normal trade between the two countries, and return the three Hejian counties to Levender."

"But I need your help, not only to kill my grandfather, but also to fulfill some other conditions, which are also very crucial."

"you say."

Zhuo Ya asked in a serious tone, "Tell me, do you know how to synthesize a super-large capacity legendary crystal?"

Rosen knew that this matter could not be concealed: "Yes, I have mastered it. I call it the Endless Crystal. It can store up to 5,000 Rosen mana."

Zhuoya could certainly understand Rosen's use of his own name as a unit of measurement, but she had no intuitive concept of 5,000 Rosens.

"Give me a ruler."

"It's about 6,500 times your current mana."

Zhuoya and Irene took a breath together: "A lot."

Irene was simply expressing her feelings, but Zhuoya was well aware of the horror of the Endless Crystal and felt the huge gap between the two sides.

Because the Empire can only synthesize legendary crystals with a capacity of 300 times the mana, the gap between the two sides is 20 times! She immediately asked: "So, outside the Rhine City, you used this trick to repel the legendary wizard's joint attack?"

"That's right."

Rosen added: "Of course, I have also developed some supporting spells, such as spells with super-large mana capacity, smooth transmission technology for super-large mana flow, and spells to conceal extra mana flow."

"But no matter what, the Endless Crystal is the foundation of everything."

Zhuo Ya said, "Then, my second condition is that you have to share with me the alchemy of synthesizing the Endless Crystal."

Rosen sneered: "Ms. Zhuoya, you are greedy."

"I don't think so, because without my cooperation, you certainly can't kill my grandfather."

There is nothing wrong with this. Since Rosen has already revealed it, he actually has no intention of refusing. His attitude now is just to negotiate conditions.

So, he half-truthfully said, "Our country has developed five generations of alchemy to synthesize Infinite Crystals. I can't share the latest two generations with you."

"But I can share the third generation with you, and the third generation's alchemy can synthesize 2,000 Rosens of Endless Crystals."

Zhuo Ya thought about it for a moment and asked, "Can multiple endless crystals form an array?"

"Yes, but the array will affect the speed of mana transmission and greatly affect the casting speed."

Zhuo Ya asked again: "How do you fill up so much legendary mana?"

She immediately added: "I don't believe that everyone charged together. You must have mastered some secret charging techniques."

The secret technique for charging is naturally the Soul-Burning Ring.

"I don't believe it!"

After saying this, Zhuoya played the favor card in a pleading tone.

"Rosen, from a geographical point of view, my Glorious Empire is the natural shield of your Natural Empire against the Holy Elf Empire. I think since you plan to share the Endless Crystal, you should not hide such a crucial means."

That's true.

Especially against the backdrop of the imminent return of the Lord of Truth, the Glorious Empire controlled by Queen Zoya will surely become an ally of the Natural Empire.

Irene was very surprised: "Cousin, are you asking Rosen for help?"

She had never heard her cousin speak to anyone else in that tone.

Zhuoya sighed: "I guess so. Rosen, what do you say?"

Rosen naturally had his own plans: "I can give it, but not for free. The Glorious Empire must also share with me an equal amount of its magical achievements, such as the technology of the Super Energy Light of Destruction."

Zhuoya agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

Then she added: "But I have a third condition, which is the most crucial one."

Rosen couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many conditions, but just tell me."

Zhuo Ya said, "Everyone says that Mother Nature is the true God, but I don't believe there is a true God in this world. This must be the result of your magic."

"I need you to share this magical achievement with me, otherwise I would rather follow my grandfather and risk the destruction of my country to help him start a full-scale war."

Rosen asked back: "Is this important?"

“Very important, even the most important.”

"If the citizens of my Glorious Empire are gradually infiltrated by you and become naturalists, how can I rule this empire?"

This did not surprise Rosen at all.

Ever since he started training Lai Fu to manage the faith of believers, he knew this day would come.

Because as long as you have eyes, you can see the difference between the Natural Religion and other sects, and you can also see the tremendous power of a church controlled by the "true God".

It is impossible for the mortal kingdom to confront the true God.

Just like on Earth, a modern world that relies on radio for communication is absolutely unable to compete with the information world.

The gap between the two sides in terms of organization, cohesion, stability of rule, and speed of response to change is really too huge.

The former is a fool who is slow to react and often makes mistakes, while the latter is a powerful warrior with agile movements, quick and accurate reactions, and is simply impossible to defeat.

Since Zhuoya has said this, and Rosen also believes that if she says it, she will really do it.

This is also human nature.

When a person knows that he is doomed to fail, he loses all sense of security and becomes hysterical.

This is the case with the Lord of Light. Zhuoya's situation is a little better, but it does not mean that she can always maintain her sanity and bottom line.

Rosen also has a crazy bottom line.

For example, he felt that he could not deal with the Lord of Truth by conventional means, so he began to secretly prepare fission nuclear bombs.

Therefore, in order to make Zhuoya feel safe and to give the Natural Empire a powerful ally in its fight against the Lord of Truth, he nodded in agreement.

Because helping others is helping yourself.

Rosen said, "Let's do it the old way, exchange results."

"I want three of the Glorious Empire's top-secret achievements. And I will exchange them with you for the 'True God' achievement."

The Magic Department of the Glorious Empire has a lot of good things, especially the study of light, which has reached an extreme.

Some of the results were of great use to Rosen.

This surprised Zhuoya: "'True God'. Did you really create it?"

Although she had always guessed this, she was still shocked when the news was confirmed.

Irene was also extremely shocked: "How could a 'true God' be created?!"

The two women's common knowledge of magic was almost completely shattered.

I feel that my opponent’s wisdom is truly unfathomable!

Rosen smiled faintly: "Your Majesty Zhuoya, do you agree?"

Zhuoya nodded without hesitation: "I agree!"

"Very good, then I will rush to Medasilin as soon as possible to carry out the decapitation plan."

Zhuo Ya was surprised again: "Rosen, you want to come in person? Aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"

If she comes to Metasilin in person and kills him directly, wouldn't all the threats be gone?

Rosen did not comment, but told a piece of news.

"Your Majesty Zoya, don't you know that the Lord of Truth, Dritan, is about to return?"

"What?!"

Zhuo Ya was shocked: "Where did you get this news?"

Of course she knew what the news meant.

"It was pried out by a legendary elf wizard and confirmed by multiple sources. This is also the biggest reason why I am willing to share my important magical achievements with you."

"We mortals really can't stand any more internal friction."

Zhuoya fell into a long silence.

Irene was a little puzzled: "Is the Lord of Truth scary?"

It was Zhuoya who answered her: "It's terrible, very terrible!"

"He is the absolute ruler of the old world and the greatest shaper of today's world."

"If he returns, the Elven Empire will regain its glory. Oh, Creator, you are so cruel to mortals!"

Obviously, Queen Zoya knew countless secrets, so she realized the seriousness of the problem at the first time.

Then, she sighed deeply and said in a tone of extreme determination and disappointment: "My grandfather must have known this important news, but he concealed it from me because of his own personal desires."

"He thinks he is the master of mortals and always regards himself as the savior of the world. He always claims that he is the only savior of the world."

"I once thought he was sincere, and I assisted him with all my strength to help him expand the power of the empire."

"But I didn't expect that when faced with a truly terrible crisis, he only cared about his own status and glory."

"Despicable! Selfish! Shameless! Greedy! Cowardly!"

"I am very disappointed, more disappointed than ever before!"

"I am so ashamed to have his blood in me!"

"He must die!"

The disgust in her words was almost condensed into substance, and then she said in a calm tone that seemed to have seen through fate: "Rosen, just come over here, I will do my best to ensure your safety."

"If something unexpected happens, it will definitely not be because of my betrayal, because I will definitely die before you."
