Lord of War

   "Specter?" Cecilia frowned, and looked up and down the strange young man in front of him with a look of extreme suspicion, "Are you a disguise?"

   "Oh! Sorry." Spector apologized suddenly, "I was in a hurry before, and I forgot to take off the mask."

   Soon, Spector took off the mask covering his face, revealing a complexion that was tanned somewhat almost wheaten. Compared with the previous situation when he met Cecilia and others in the Wildlands, Spector now clearly looks a lot more mature: his eyebrows are a bit more determined, and his eyes are not as good as before. Like floating, it's a bit more vicissitudes of suffering.

  Since the excellent performance of Spector's mission in the Wildlands last time, Sean felt that this young man was a talent, so he made a special proposal to William. So now Spector doesn’t need to run errands like before. Currently, there are more than 80 subordinates under his direct control. Two of them are from the Void Dark Blade for his convenience. The special operations team dispatched, a total of 16 people.

  In the division of the administrative area of ​​the Void Realm, the Wild Land is divided into a total of 20 areas, of which 12 areas are the core areas that need to be monitored and controlled. Only the head of these twelve areas will have two special operations teams dispatched from the Dark Blade of the Void-according to the current internal system of the Void Realm, in addition to William and Rupee, including Eli Kate and Xi None of the two Big Three characters, Gerry, has the command and dispatch authority of Void Dark Blade.

  But there are a total of twelve area leaders in the Wildlands, but each has the command of two Void Dark Blade teams, which is enough to show the importance of these twelve areas.

  With Spector’s current status, the delivery of confidential documents like this one does not require him to act in person.

  But this time, he still came in person, and from this he can see the importance of this confidential document.

   Cecilia's frowning brows did not stretch, she sat back in the chair. However, she did not open the confidential document at the first time, but was thinking that the secret intelligence network of the Void Principality might need to be re-modified and deployed. In the Black Swan Castle, it is difficult for ordinary assassins to sneak in, but in order to prevent harm to their own people, there are actually a few secret paths for members of the Void Realm to enter and exit. It's just that under normal circumstances these people who come and go are familiar faces. Therefore, no additional fortifications and inspections were carried out.

   Judging from the expansion speed of the Void Principality, this method has become a bit dangerous.

  Once the spy personnel of the Void Realm are bought out, these secret paths can easily fall into the enemy's intelligence network, thereby providing the enemy of the Void Principality with an extremely perfect path for beheading. Although Cecilia is confident in the defense capabilities of the Black Swan Castle, this does not mean that the defense system in other places can be so perfect, just like the Void City and Void Fortress that are now in a state of emptiness.

  Because Shaun’s departure gave others a vacation, Noro didn’t know where he went. Rorty Kabas went out to find the remains of the riding god.

  Currently, only Rena is left behind in Void City. Because Xuefanio and Ruby both went to the Kingdom of Fascism to investigate information about Wuling.

And Harding from the demonic clan of the underground world followed Hela. Since the last time William was attacked, now the three giants of the void are traveling, besides the guard, there is bound to be a strong man with high-end combat power. . Therefore, the severe lack of high-end combat power naturally led to the emergence of huge unavoidable loopholes in the defense system of the entire Void Principality, especially in the Void Fortress, where there is a lack of strong players.

  The Void Fortress was originally built based on the old site of the Darbion Kingdom Fortress in the Gap Rift Valley.

  The overall scale of this fortress is based on the core goal of accommodating one hundred thousand soldiers and storing enough rations for one hundred thousand people to consume for three years. Just because of the lack of alchemy puppets and special skills, even today a large number of magic apprentices and dwarves, gnomes, goblins and other natural master builder races have been invested. However, after nearly two years of investment in a large amount of materials and manpower regardless of gains and losses, only the main city wall at the beginning and the end of the Gorge Rift and the inner city main building on the side close to the wild land have been built. There is still a long time before the actual completion.

  Originally, this fortress was used by Sean to guard against the invasion of the tribe in the Wildlands one day after they turned their faces.

  Just after Cecilia and Hela, William, and Neal jointly re-formed the plan of the Void Empire, the status of this fortress seemed a bit embarrassing.

  According to Neil’s idea, this fortress is no longer necessary to exist. It would be better to save resources and use them as expenses for other places. Although both Hela and William believe that the construction of the Void Fortress is still necessary, the two people have a disagreement about the location of the Void Fortress: Hela built the Void Fortress on the original site; and William advocates Move the location of the fortress to the entrance of the fissure rift.

  Because in William’s view, the enemies of the human side are much more terrifying than the enemies of the Wildlands. Especially since the territory of the Void Principality lacks sufficient strategic depth, the existence of a defensive fortress is very necessary; on the other hand, in the wild land, near the side of the strait valley, the former Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance built a large scale. The Rift Valley Trade Nation is still under the control of the Void Duchy, so if the tribes of the Wildlands want to build their troops, they can completely defeat them in a region with a vast strategic depth.

  Hella’s view is just the opposite of William. Hela believes that the original location of the Void Fortress remains unchanged. It can not only serve the purpose of deterring the tribes in the wild land, but also can be used as a special line of defense. Once the Void Duchy and the surrounding lords of humans have conflicts and conflicts, they can retreat to the wild. The land has another plan, and with the unique topography of the gorge rift, in this square strip area, it is completely possible to achieve a situation where one man can do nothing.

  It can be said that whether it is William or Hella, their considerations have certain desirability.

But in the end, it was Cecilia who made the decision. She simply adopted the suggestions of William and Hela and built two fortresses directly at the beginning and end of the Rift Valley. This is also the first child and mother on the Marvel Continent. One-piece fortress. And it is precisely because this fortress must take into account the defensive facilities with two gaps at the beginning and the end. Therefore, the construction work and time of the entire void fortress have been greatly slowed down.

  As for the defenders of this fortress, William, Hella, and Cecilia are surprisingly consistent: Stalin, who is proficient in defensive operations.

  For this reason, the First Infantry Regiment has also been urgently expanded to 100,000 people. Even the Second Infantry Regiment commanded by Nok is directly incorporated, and the First Infantry Regiment was officially renamed the First Legion. Stalin became the commander of the army. Knock is the deputy commander of the army. The positioning of the First Corps is a regiment specializing in fort defense, mostly heavy infantry and shield soldiers, supplemented by archers, pikemen, and a small number of swordsmen and other types of troops. Although the First Army has directly become the most powerful army of the Void Principality, the corresponding price is a serious decline in the combat power level of the entire army: currently it is barely maintaining the strength of the quasi-three army, even the real The three-level army is not counted.

  For this reason, Stalin and Knok were extremely busy, even if a large number of veterans took over the positions of middle and lower commanders of the entire army. But the army of 100,000 people is no bigger than the previous 20,000 or 30,000 people. Training alone is enough to make people feel extremely helpless. Not to mention, a large number of arrows and other consumables for fortress defense warfare need to be consumed by a legion that specializes in fortress defense warfare in training.

   However, the First Legion and the Void Fortress are the most important part of the entire Void Empire plan.

  Specect came to report that the second phase of the Nether Empire plan had been completed, referring to the real formation of the First Army.

  The first phase of the plan is to divide the cohesion of the Wild Federation and at the same time expand the influence of the Void Duchy in the Wild Federation. The second phase of the plan is the formation and formation of the First Army and the winning of twelve seats in the Wild Federation Parliament. As for the third phase plan. This is the real prerequisite plan for the construction of the Void Empire: to absorb tribal members of the Wild Federation, and start to build the embryonic form of the Void Empire in the wilderness.

  The fourth phase plan after   . It is to promote the prototype of this "human and multi-racial peaceful coexistence" in the wild land, completely absorb the entire wild federation into the territory of the void empire, and begin to radiate to the wild land and the surroundings of the void duchy. Then the fifth stage plan is to promulgate the relevant laws and systems of the Void Empire and formally announce the establishment of the Void Empire.

  This is the void empire plan made by Cecilia, William, Hela, and Neal.

  Hella is responsible for grasping the overall situation and building the general trend, William is responsible for solving potential threats that may arise, and Neal is responsible for the related improvement of the economy, law and system. Cecilia, on the other hand, was responsible for diplomatic work with the Wild Federation, as well as friendly exchanges between the Void Principality and surrounding lords before the establishment of the Void Empire.

  It can be said that in this plan, four people are indispensable.

  And as long as the fourth stage can be completed, no one can stop the establishment of the void empire.

  Cecilia quickly sorted out the related finishing ideas of the Void Realm in his mind, and prepared to wait for the return to propose to William the loopholes that the Void Realm had neglected. Then I picked up the paper bag with the word "Confidential" and opened it, but after Cecilia's gaze glanced over from above, her expression became shocked: "William knows this. Is something wrong?"

"I don't know very well, Your Royal Highness Cecilia." Spector shook his head and said, "I was summoned by Master Hela directly. She asked me to personally send this document to you. As for the other I am not clear about the matter.... However, I guess Lord William should have no idea what happened, otherwise Lord Hela can use magic communication to communicate with Lord William instead of letting me send this document personally. ."

  Cecilia's brows frowned, her eyes fixed on the documents in the file bag.

  It can be clearly seen that Cecilia's emotions are a bit fierce, because the right hand holding the paper is a little harder, and the knuckles can be seen prominently, and even the paper is pinched a little wrinkly.

   "Cecilia... Your Highness?" Spector asked in confusion.

   "Sean has been away for almost a year, right?" Cecilia suddenly asked, "Is there any news from him?"

   "I'm sorry, I am not the intelligence officer in charge of this aspect." Spector said helplessly, "Moreover, the first task of the Void Realm is to serve the Empire Plan..."

  Spectre’s meaning is very clear, that is, there is no news of Sean at all.

   About a year ago, Sean suddenly disappeared, and there was no news at all. Those in the inner circle who follow Shaun know that Shaun is looking for a way to break through the sanctuary. No one knows where he went. The only thing that can be clear is that Noro's regular intelligence transmission indicated that Sean is still alive, but where he is, but he doesn't even know where he is. He said that only Sean sent the summoning message. He can feel the position of Sean.

to this end. Others are also quite helpless.

   "The civil strife in the Millennium Covenant Empire is over." Cecilia sighed, "I need to trouble you with one thing."

  "Your Highness, please give instructions." Spector said in a deep voice.

"Tell William that Reyes has been secretly transferred, and there is a good phone meeting right now." Cecilia said lightly, "As for whether to rescue Reyes, it depends on William's own thoughts... If William decides to rescue you, go back and tell Hela. You must cooperate fully with William's actions."

   "Yes." Speck nodded characteristically. "Any other orders?"

   "Hela said what happened to the intelligence on the Sith Kingdom?" Cecilia thought for a while, and then asked.

   "No." Spector was really helpless, because Cecilia's questions were clearly beyond his ability.

  At this moment, a knock on the door outside the study suddenly sounded.

  Cecilia glanced at the door, then turned all the documents in her hand into the file bag, then pushed to the edge of the table, and said: "Give it to William, it's up to him."

   "Yes." Speck nodded characteristically. He got up and took the file bag, and then quickly disappeared into the shadows.

  Until Spector disappeared completely. Cecilia opened his mouth to the door and said, "Come in."

The door was quickly opened, and a young woman with golden waist-length hair calmly walked in. After entering the study, she first turned and closed the door, and then walked in front of Cecilia. Put several documents in hand on the table: "Miss Cecilia, you have worked hard."

  This blonde woman is Diana of the Simon family, and is now the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Void Principality.

  In the revenge battle of the Void Principality against the Simon family raising the blood flag, she wisely chose to surrender and take refuge in Sean's command. After the complete destruction of the Simon family, she abandoned her surname and was willing to be an ordinary citizen of the Void Principality-but in fact, neither Sean nor Neal could let Diana go. Her talent was wasted, so she soon assumed the post of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Void Principality.

  Beside Diana, two dead men trained by the Void Dark Blade kept staring at him. This was also William's idea.

  And Diana, of course, it's impossible not to know, but she really doesn't care. Because she didn't have much sense of family glory and pride for the Simon family, it was not a loss for her to join the Void Principality. Instead, it was a wise choice for her to reach the pinnacle of her life. Because the power and status she has now is even higher than what she can obtain in the Simon family.

  Before Shaun left the Void Duchy, he gave Diana a noble status: Viscount. He didn't mind Diana still using the "Simon" surname, but Diana resolutely refused to use it in order to show her loyalty—she wanted to use Sean’s surname, but this kind of thing was obviously impossible. Therefore, Diana has remained silent in the choice of surname.

  Before Cecilia took over the foreign affairs of the Void Principality, Diana’s name had already swept through the intelligence network of all the nobles who were closely following the affairs of the Void Principality like a hurricane. They have some thoughts about Diana, because this woman is not only as beautiful as a stunner, but her talents and abilities are also amazing. Many nobles want to use her as a breakthrough to intervene in the affairs of the Void Principality. The contact is extremely frequent.

  And Diana is really smart.

  For those who have other purposes, she is all willing to come. But after the contact, everything will be recorded by him, and everything will be handed over to William the next day. Nowadays, among the Big Three of the Void Principality, they basically acquiesced that Diana would become the fourth giant, and Cecilia also acquiesced in Diana's plan to join the Void Empire.

  It’s just that the title of “Deputy Minister” will not be taken off for the time being, because the Void Principality has no manpower to send to Diana to protect it.

  So the Minister of Foreign Affairs who is responsible for attracting firepower outside. It was Cecilia Lembel sitting in the study of the Black Swan Castle at this moment.

"Are these new documents?" Cecilia picked up the documents that Diana had sent, and pointed to a pile of documents like a hill on the other side. "These have been reviewed and approved and some Rejected... You can sort out and understand a little bit. The explanation work will trouble you."

"I'm just running errands and talking nonsense as a vase. It's not hard." Diana smiled, her smile is very sweet, "Miss Cecilia is the real hardship....Mr. Hasas again coming."

  At the last sentence, Diana's smile seemed a little narrow.

"Why is that guy here again?" Cecilia's brows frowned, her expression a little impatient, "When you look back, you find someone to write a sign that says'Dogs and Hasas are not allowed'. Then insert it in the castle. Outside the door."

   "Master Cecilia. Are you kidding me?" Diana shook her head helplessly.

   Although she admires Cecilia's skill in handling things, she has handled many things better than her, and even in the attitude and aspect of looking at things, there are many things that she can learn from. And such a person who is almost like a natural diplomat is actually younger than himself, which makes Diana only secretly sigh for the unfairness of God. There are indeed legends in this world who can be called geniuses.

  Of course, this legendary character is indeed no different from a child in temperament sometimes.

   "No, I'm serious." Cecilia tilted her head. I thought about it very carefully and seriously, and then spoke. "If he comes to propose again, then you can kick him out.... By the way, what do you think of the wooden sign saying ‘dogs and suitors are not allowed to enter’?"

"Oh." Diana sighed and said helplessly, "Miss Cecilia, your identity is Lord Void, the sister of Lord Sean Connery, as long as you can marry you, you can get the whole Void. With the help of the Principality, there will naturally be many people who want to propose to you.... And, I believe, there are many depressed aristocratic young people who don’t mind getting involved, because in this way, as long as Lord Sean falls unexpectedly If you do, then according to the right of inheritance, you will inherit everything in the Void Principality and become the second Grand Duke of the Void Principality."

   "A bunch of whimsical trash." Cecilia curled her lips. "According to you, that Hasas is still barely a man."

"Although Mr. Hasas is not ranked high in the succession rights of his family, he is indeed a very good person himself, and he can only blame his family for the birth of too many geniuses." Dianna simply said. Explained, "Moreover, having Mr. Hassas publicly showing his love for you can prevent many unnecessary flies from turning around you. At least... there is no person with the same strength or status as Mr. Hasas, at all You are not qualified to pursue you."

"Do you think I need him to help me block those flies?" Cecilia sneered, her expression showing deep disdain, "In my opinion, Hasas is more disgusting than ordinary flies, because he buzzes. The buzzing sound is too loud and too noisy."

   "Okay." Dianna sighed helplessly, "But today, Mr. Hasas really didn't come because of a marriage proposal or because he wanted to see you."

   "Oh?" Cecilia raised her eyebrows, "Then what is this fly doing?"

"Mr. Hasas said there is something he wants to cooperate with us." Diana pulled out a piece of paper from the document he was holding in front of him, and put it in front of Cecilia. "I think this matter may be worth ours. Intervene. Because we can not only make huge profits from it, but also reap the friendship from the Zoanton family.... And at this point in time, Mr. Hasas asked for help, I suspect that the internal strife of the Millennium Covenant Empire should be coming to an end. , So now is the harvest time for the nobles on the Millennium Covenant Empire to grab the profits."

   Hearing Diana’s words, Cecilia gave her a surprised look.

  As Diana’s current identity, she is naturally not qualified to access the surrounding investigation intelligence of the Void Realm, because she does not need to be responsible for these. Just from the negotiations with Hasas Zoanton, we can accurately discover some dynamic intelligence of the Millennium Covenant Empire. This keen observation and analysis ability cannot be possessed by everyone. From this, it can be seen that Diana is indeed worthy of Sean's high look.

The most rare thing is that after Diana’s previous negotiations with Hasas, she has already completed the risk assessment report-now she is handing the piece of paper to Cecilia. The gains and risks that Hassas can obtain when trading. Although the risk value is a bit high, this is not in line with the first consideration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of a Principality, but combined with the current situation of the Void Principality, the gain is far more than the return required to bear the risk.

  Cecilia may not care about the gains in this cooperation plan, but there is one place that has attracted Cecilia's high attention. Her fingers tapped gently on the desktop. This is a kind of thinking movement she has developed recently. Diana has assisted Cecilia for more than half a year, so she knows Cecilia's state at this time. He stood quietly aside, and did not interrupt Cecilia's thoughts.

  After this moment, Cecilia's sound of tapping the desktop stopped, and then stood up: "Let's go, let's see what the big fly wants to do." (to be continued~^~)

  PS:  What can I say? It feels like I haven't spoken for a long time, then... let's brush up on the sense of existence, meow~
