C162 Great Changes

Just as Count Walker was confidently preparing for the fourth negotiation with Moose Empire. Another thing that shocked the entire Osman Continent happened.

The last day of February 1017 of the Empire. This day was destined to be remembered by everyone. Because of what happened on this day, Wales III even stopped the National Conference that was being held. And from then on, it heralded a brand new beginning.

On the same day, Pope Paul, who was far away in Dazs Holy City, also made a stern statement. He even announced a day of fasting for all the believers in the continent to express his gratitude to the innocent civilians who had died.

The various countries also strongly condemned the barbarous actions of the Moose Empire.

At the same time, Duke Ronton also hugged his critically ill body and announced that the entire Silo Province had entered the First Class Combat Logistics of the entire population. He even authorized Lee Xiang to start recruiting two hundred thousand new recruits urgently. It was worth mentioning that Ronton did not have the permission of the empire. Moreover, 80% of the new recruits were Lower Race.

On this day, a village near the border of Moose Empire was cleaned up by an unknown force. The entire village, no matter if it was young or old, women or children, was not spared.

This was a naked massacre. A naked genocide!

After that, the only survivor of this massacre depicted the appearance of this group of armed men. It was the unique appearance of the neighboring Moose Empire. This was an unchangeable fact. Because in fact, the entire continent no longer had the same appearance as the people of the Moose Empire.

But the Moose Empire firmly refused this accusation.

The entire village seemed to have been bathed in blood. The small stream at the entrance of the village was dyed red, and only slowly recovered on the fifth day. This incident had also thoroughly infuriated those kind Lower Race in the Silo Province. For a moment, the emotions of the people in the Silo Province had been stimulated to a critical point.

Everyone knew that at this moment, If there was only a tiny spark, the eruption of these people's emotions would be an extremely terrifying raging fire. So at this time, no one dared to try to ignite this fire. If it wasn't for Lee Xiang forcing him to control it, Perhaps the garrison of the empire stationed in Silo Province would have suffered as well. They would have sent these furious crowds out of Silo Province. In their point of view, since you don't have the ability to protect the people here. . . Then there is no need for you to station here.

And because of this reason, the empire's plan to recruit two hundred thousand soldiers without permission from Ronton. Maintaining a subtle silence. It was even a kind of tacit agreement, a kind of helplessness. However, he secretly mobilized a hundred thousand troops to a nearby province near the Silo Province. The troops of the Empire also maintained a high level of vigilance. The people inside could tell at a glance. On one hand, they were guarding against the Moose Empire. On the other hand, they were also guarding against any unusual movements in the Silo Province.

Count Walker also forcefully canceled the negotiations with the neighboring countries. He changed his stance of negotiating with the other countries and strongly requested to start a war with the neighboring countries.

Lee Xiang, who represented Ronton, also refused any explanation about this matter from Walker. In his opinion, it was because of the negotiation between the rulers of the empire that they condoned the arrogance of the neighboring countries, which led to the massacre this time.

In a short period of time, the situation at the border, which had been slightly alleviated, had once again reached a stage where it could erupt at any moment.

In the following day, under the protection of a division personally led by Bill, Lee Xiang rushed to the location of the massacre at the first possible moment. Other than Ao Guang and his brother, there was also the Archbishop of the Church, Lyman. His purpose in coming here was to help these souls who had died in vain pass away their sins.

Looking at the massacre and the deathly aura, Lee Xiang was silent for a moment. Was this the result he wanted? Not bad, he used this opportunity to recruit another 200,000 Lower Race soldiers. This also further strengthened his irreplaceable position in Silo Province, and even the incident this time. It had made Lee Xiang's reputation in the Silo Province far surpass his grandfather, Ronton. However, the price to pay for such an outcome was too great. The lives of all the innocent people in the village had vanished just like that in the blink of an eye. He thought that he was still not a cold-hearted person. But he did not think that it would be such a serious result.

He waved his hand and asked Bill and the guards beside him to step aside. Then, he turned his head and looked at Lyman, who was standing beside him. Lee Xiang's heart was filled with anger. He let out a muffled groan. "My archbishop. You've done too much this time. I only need to ask you to create some trouble, and I didn't ask you to slaughter me! "

"Baron, you must know that if no one is bleeding, it won't attract anyone's attention!" Lyman looked at Lee Xiang indifferently. He knew Lee Xiang would be furious, so he specifically came to explain to him this time.

"But why did you take so many people's lives? One or two is enough!" Lee Xiang said angrily.

"What's the difference between one and ten or a hundred?" Lyman's expression was a little strange. "The most important effect!"

"You. . . You are a f * cking bastard!" Lee Xiang's words were a little powerless, because he was the real mastermind behind this matter. Although his original intention wasn't like this, he still had an idea.

"My Baron, you are angry!" Lyman chuckled. "I think it is appropriate to use the words you always say to describe you. You can't be a whore and have a memorial arch, right?"

Lee Xiang was speechless.

"Alright, my Baron. I admit that it was my fault for not following your request this time, but. . . What I need to say is that I did it on purpose. Because I have to think about our common interests. You also know that the current situation is very dangerous for us. Especially you. . . Your harvest this time is actually the greatest, because you have firmly grasped everything in the Silo Province. Even if Ronton went back on his word after the incident, he had no way to do it. Because behind you is the Lower Race of the entire Silo Province. They will use their actions. Bring you to the position of the highest commander of the Silo Province, even if the empire is unwilling. Because right now, the initiative is not in their hands, and they might even try to curry favor with you! You are smarter than anyone else. That's why we don't need to teach you how to make use of this situation. . . " Lyman smiled faintly. "So, my Duke. . . I think you should think about how to fulfill your promise to us now! "

Lyman unconsciously changed Baron's name to Duke.

Lee Xiang dejectedly took a few steps back. He suddenly felt like he was asking a tiger for its skin. To be honest, he now regretted agreeing to cooperate with them. But fortunately, he was already prepared.

"Is this what the Bishop of Dewey meant?" Lee Xiang instantly regained his composure. Since the incident had already happened, it would be useless for him to blame himself. He might as well think about what would happen in the future.

"The Pope is currently forcing the archbishop to be very tight. If there are no signs of improvement here, I'm afraid our archbishop will be forced to abdicate and give up his position! So Duke should understand! "

Lee Xiang let out a long sigh. Although Lyman's words just now were kind words of persuasion, His meaning was very obvious. They were now grasshoppers trapped on the same rope. If either side had problems, the other side would inevitably suffer losses. This was the truth. It could even be attacked by the entire Empire and the Vatican. This was a very deadly result. He knew that he didn't have the ability to resist these two powerful forces.

With a muffled groan, Lee Xiang said in an unpleasant tone, "Don't worry about this matter. Once the problem in Moose Empire is resolved, I will immediately take care of your matter. . . However. . . I think I still have to warn you. If you make such a decision without my permission next time, Don't blame me for being merciless. I have many ways to uproot your only foundation here. . . Don't doubt my abilities, and don't try to challenge my patience. Tell Dewey that if he wants to stay here for a long time. . . He better listen to me obediently, otherwise. . . Hmph!"

Lyman's expression suddenly changed. "Baron, don't tell me you want to burn the bridge after crossing the river?"

" Whatever you want to understand. In short, it's best to do as I say! " Lee Xiang shrugged.

Lyman also did not give in at all. "I think you seem to have gotten carried away by your success. Don't think that you have some foundation now. We also have many ways to return you to your original form. . . "

"Is that so?" Lee Xiang's eyes lit up. "Then you can try. . . But I advise you not to try it so easily, because when the time comes, I only need to submit to the empire and everything will be fine. At most, I will just hand over the control of Silo Province. . . And I still have a lot of cards that I haven't played yet. If you force me to do so. . . At that time, I won't be the one who can't take it anymore!"

After saying that, Lee Xiang once again let out a muffled groan, turned around and left without looking back. This time, he was really annoyed. The reason was very simple. If he could not use this opportunity to make the people of the Church behave in his territory, Then he would never have a peaceful day in the future. There was even a possibility that they would ride him around his neck and sh * t him.

Lyman paused for a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he hurried over and laughed. "Baron, you misunderstood me. I was just joking with you just now. Why do you take it seriously? "

"It's best not to mention such jokes in the future!" Lee Xiang also stopped when he saw that it was good, so he broke the donkey. Although he said it so firmly just now, He would not fall out with them unless it was absolutely necessary. "I think the archbishop should be very clear in his heart that the most important thing for us right now is to trust each other. If I were to turn against your words, what would you think? You would think the same as me now! "

Lyman nodded. "So Baron is angry about this matter. I thought you were angry about the deaths of a few people. If that's the case, then you are too soft-hearted. This proves that you are never a person who does big things. Then, we will consider whether or not we need to continue working with you. Or perhaps we will change the way we work with you!"

Lee Xiang was secretly vigilant. He knew that he had unknowingly revealed his biggest flaw just now. It was precisely this flaw that might become a fatal weakness for him in the future.

Now that Lyman had understood it this way, he would make the mistake he made. Lee Xiang nodded and said, "Alright, my archbishop, we should return to Bael City. There should be many interesting things that we are very interested in happening there now!"

Lyman's eyes suddenly lit up. Indeed, he had been looking forward to what was going to happen and had been waiting for a long time.
