Chapter 338 The Twin Cities (3)
Originally, Phyllis was planning to come to Twin Cities to relax, but she didn't expect that Danica had just arrived here and asked her to have a problem - she wanted to second two hundred intermediate professionals from Phyllis.
Danica's request really made Phyllis embarrassed.
The human race has always been the sphere of influence of the Holy See, and this is recognized by the entire world, including the central parliament. Now Danica intends to completely get rid of the Holy See - not only in fact, but also nominally, it also has to escape from the control of the Holy See. This behavior will definitely touch the most sensitive nerve of the Holy See, and let the Gemini Kingdom "independent" from the Holy See's sphere of influence, which is likely to cause a huge chain reaction. If the elves then dispatch up to two hundred established middle-level professionals to the Gemini Kingdom, the uneasiness of the Holy See will be dramatically amplified. Because this may represent that external forces - that is, the Elf Court - begin to intentionally interfere in internal affairs of the human race.
This decision that could cause direct confrontation between the Elf King Court and the Holy See of Light was not something that Philis could decide. After hesitating for a night, Philis decided to write a letter to ask his grandfather. As a member of the intermediate council and the chief elder of the Elf clan, Elant should be able to give her some useful suggestions!
After waiting for three or four days, Phyllis finally waited for grandpa’s reply. When he opened the letter, he saw a line of words: “You can do it!”
If I could do it, I would have to ask you? Phyllis whispered in her heart and threw herself on the bed.
Staring at the ceiling, Phyllis thought about what grandpa’s reply meant. This extremely vague and ambiguous sentence may be... giving a scope, and the scope of the impact of this matter on the world situation may not be as large as I had imagined before, which means that no matter what decision I made, it would not bring unbearable consequences, so grandpa asked herself to do it.
After lying in bed for a long time, Phyllis finally made a decision. It had been several days, and it was time to give Danica a reply.
As soon as Phyllis walked out of the door, he saw a black shadow flashing in front of him, and then he hit the wall with a bang. A small hole was smashed into the brick and stone wall. Phyllis felt pain when he saw it.
Looking at the black crow that fell to the ground, Phyllis hurried over and asked, "Emily, are you okay?"
Emily, who turned into a crow, moaned in pain and barely stood up. As a result, her head became dizzy and fell to the ground again, but she still said, "No...no problem."
"What are you doing?" Phyllis asked with a smile. As a fourth-level druid Emily, she wouldn't have any problems, but she looked so ridiculous.
After trying a few times, Emily gave up the idea of standing up and replied: "I'm training to train myself to control the wind magic."
In this world, a person may have multiple magical talents, but most of them can only specialize in one, but there are exceptions. A few months ago, Danica discovered that in addition to being able to cast natural magic from the Druid Sect, Emily also has some wind magic talent. If she is a spellcaster who specializes in natural magic, it would be fine, but she is actually a druid who specializes in fighting. In this way, learning a little wind magic will be of great help to improve her combat effectiveness. Under Danica's supervision, Emily began to learn wind magic, and the main direction of learning was to use wind magic to
Improve her speed. Several months of study have been quite effective. Now Emily has learned to use wind magic to speed up her flight speed in the crow form, but she is still a little lacking in direction control. If the speed is too fast, she will not be able to turn in time. No matter what is in front of her, she will hit her head. In recent months, Emily has been training her control ability in high-speed flight. The training ground has been set in this villa with complex structures. In more than two months, the small pits she bumped into can be seen everywhere in the villa, but the effect is not very obvious and she needs to practice more.
After helping Emily rub her head, the girl recovered and flapped her wings and flew away. With the sound of a soothing, Phyllis was shocked. With Phyllis' physical fitness as a fourth-level professional, she could not capture Emily's movement trajectory with her eyes. If Emily rushed towards her at this speed, she would really not have time to react. If she didn't take precautions in advance, the situation might be worse.
At this time, Philis remembered that Emily was a killer at the beginning. However, Philis has known Emily for several years and has never heard of her assassination. Moreover, this girl’s cute and cute appearance makes it difficult to imagine her as a cold killer - this is not pretending, this girl is already very simple.
Phyllis thought about Emily while walking and came to the balcony on the third floor. After seeing Danica half-lying on a chair reading as usual, she put Emily's affairs aside.
"You're really not in a hurry!" Phyllis sat on the chair next to him.
Danica put down the book and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely give me a positive answer."
"So sure?"
"Of course." Danica said, "I will definitely take into account the other party's interests and needs when doing transactions, especially when facing you. Don't worry, I will not cheat you. It is best for you to do this."
"Tell me." Although I had already made a decision in my heart, Phyllis still planned to listen to Danica's words.
Danica lay back on the chair and said lightly: "Phyris, the expansion of the elves has reached its limit."
Glance at Philis' unexpected expression, Danica continued: "For thousands of years, the Elf Royal Court has been expanding its territory outward with an extremely strong attitude. After the collapse of the Magic Empire, the countries adjacent to the Elf Royal Court have been destroyed, the residents have been dispersed, and the land has been planted with trees - the area of the eastern forest has expanded several times. Many human races are very worried about this. By the way, the Aphro we all know is the representative. She believes that if this continues, the elves will erode the living space of the human race bit by bit, and then the entire Katic continent will become a forest and become the territory of the Elf Royal Court. But in fact, this is impossible, right?"
Philis sighed and said, "Yes, this is impossible. The population of the elves is too small, and the population growth rate is also very slow. Thousands of years of cultivation have only restored the population of the elves to 80 million, which is completely incomparable to the population of the 10 million human race. It is already very difficult to protect such a large eastern forest. In this way, people in the royal court continue to clamor to continue to expand." Thinking of this, Philis became even more bored.
Danica comforted and said, "Don't worry, the Elf Queen and the Chief Elder are both smart people. They will understand the huge hidden dangers of blind expansion. In such a chaotic world, their own strength cannot protect the land they occupy, and they will be attacked by others. This is the case for those small countries in the central region where wars are frequent, and the same is true for the powerful Elf Royal Court."
After pausing, Danica continued: "So, the Elf Court can no longer expand its territory, but you can still choose to expand your sphere of influence. The Gemini Kingdom will become an extension of the Elf Court to resist the attacks that may come from the human race, or as a buffer area between the Elf Court and the Holy See of Light." The concept of sphere of influence in this world is not particularly popular. It is generally believed that occupying the territory that becomes one's own is truly one and only has a sense of security. However, this simple, direct and effective method is no longer suitable for the Elf Court.
Phyllis nodded and said, "Your argument can really make the Elf King Court work with you."
Danica sat upright and said solemnly: "I am not working with the Elf King Court, but with you, Phyllis Yuelan. If the Elf King Court is not you in the future, the Gemini Kingdom will tear up all the contracts with the Elf Clan, which will be the foundation of the Gemini Kingdom and announce to the world."
Philis looked at Danica in surprise. She connected the political lives of the two. This is a huge bet. If the bet is won, Philis will become the controller of the Elf Royal Court, and Danica's Gemini Kingdom will also become a powerful country with the support of the Elf Clan. Once the bet is lost...
Phyllis smiled reluctantly and said, "It's like the relationship between the Tulip Kingdom and the Holy See." She didn't expect Danica to make the relationship between the two parties so close. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just said casually.
Danica smiled slightly and said, "This is different. According to me, the Holy See of Light has been too strict in the tulip kingdom, and their cooperation is destined not to last long. We are different. The reason why I chose to cooperate with you is not only familiar with us, but I know you are not the kind of person who criticizes your allies. You know how to achieve a win-win situation."
In fact, it is not just an allies. Even if she treats her enemy Philis is not used to killing her. She always hopes to achieve her goal in a gentler way. This is in sharp contrast to Danica. Danica is the kind of person who takes huge risks for high returns. At the same time, she firmly believes that not eliminating the roots will leave behind future troubles. It is Danica's luck to be friends. With Danica as a friend, you need to be tolerant. With Danica, a very aggressive friend, you can also make up for Philis's shortcomings of being too cautious.
"There is a third reason?" Phyllis said with a smile. "Combining with me can ensure that the status of both parties is equal." If you cooperate with the Elf Royal Court, it will really become a relationship like the Tulip Kingdom and the Holy See of Light.
Danica did not deny it either, but just smiled and said, "How about it, can you make a decision now?"
Phyllis took a few deep breaths and said, "Okay, I agree with the conditions you offered. I will arrange two hundred intermediate professionals to come as soon as possible."
Although he was confident in his performance, Danica couldn't help but smile when he heard Philis say this. Danica said happily: "It's great, I won't let you down. When will those professionals come here?"
Phyllis thought for a while and said, "Two hundred intermediate professions are not a small number, it takes about half a month." It takes about ten days to get from Moonlight City to get here even if it is whipped up. This speed is already very fast.
Danica narrowed her eyes slightly, quickly deduced the situation of Twin Cities in her mind, and said, "Can those professions arrive at the military camp outside the city in twenty days?" The military camp outside the city refers to the previous Moonlight Manor. During the Kenster trial, the Wind Word Mercenary Group and the Moonlight Mercenary Group used this as their base. The military camp facilities there were very good. Now Catherine uses it as the camp and builds an army belonging to the Gemini Kingdom based on the Wind Word Mercenary Group.
"No problem." Phyllis said cheerfully.
Danica smiled and said, "Okay, I will arrange for them to act."
It was from this day that the atmosphere of Twin Cities became subtle. On the surface, those awakened people still robbed everywhere and then enjoyed everything they had stolen from the city lord's mansion. In secret, a tide began to surge. Secret meetings were held again and again, the basement of the scattered area, the private rooms of the tavern, or the business meetings held by merchants in the inner city villa, and you could see a person standing up and saying passionate words. Everyone looked at them with eager eyes, and cheering in a low voice after the speech. Walking on the street, sometimes you would see two people looking at each other and not talking, just nodding to each other, showing a knowing smile, and then passing by.
After initial construction, the Gemini Kingdom army, which already has 5,000 soldiers, has also begun to step up training, especially in the simulated inner city area, where simulation exercises are conducted every day. However, outsiders cannot see these, and the gates of the military camp are always locked, and no one is allowed to come out, and no one can enter.
The atmosphere of Twin Cities has changed, but those awakened people still live every day in a daze, looking like they are drunk and dreaming. Every day they ruin things in the city lord's mansion, and go out to grab them after they have ruined them. Anyway, no one dares to mess with them. The only thing they feel is that they have suffered a lot less resistance. No matter what they want, they can just take it directly, and they will not be resisted as usual.
Aishi, Catherine, and Lemil, who had left the Fengyu Mercenary Group before, were busy every day, and implemented step by step according to the plan formulated by Danica. Time passed day by day, and soon, twenty days arrived.
