Chapter 173 Eternal Night Countermeasure
It turns out that a group of smart people may not be able to solve the trouble caused by a fool.
-Educationist Morgan
In the dark city, the capital of the Yongye Empire, the second prince's condition has slightly improved. The economic blockade of the Eternal Night Empire has dealt an unprecedented blow to the economy of the most powerful human empire today. Yue Wushen and other generals took the lead in criticizing the third prince's ignorance and hastyness in dealing with the affairs of the Lin family. The news brought by the return of the eldest prince Ye Shengwu to the country is even more frustrating - while sanctioning the Eternal Night Empire, Rome Island has increased trade with all other empires almost at the same time. In the face of interests, these empires have silently received several parts of the Eternal Night Empire.
Although a large number of imitation workshops have been imitating crossbows and swords, the quality is very different from that of Rome Island, let alone surpassing it. After hearing the news at this moment, Long Linger pulled out her sword and almost took someone to kill the third prince. She has always hated this kind of bitch who bullied women. After she calmed down, she was more worried that the weapon gap would make the Eternal Night Empire no longer have an advantage. She was worried that Arcado of Rome would sell those more advanced weapons to the enemies of the Eternal Night Empire in anger.
"Father, you can't let Rome Island stand on our enemy's side. Pray for forgiveness is one of the best ways." The eldest prince Ye Shengwu bowed his head and said.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. If the Holy Empire and other countries are equipped with a large number of Rome's weapons, our army will become very dangerous. Once the gap is widened, our army will lose its advantage and the war situation will change unexpectedly." The old general Yue said angrily, "At any cost, we must let Rome Island stop its hatred for us, stand on our side again, or at least maintain a neutral attitude again." His words vaguely showed the possibility of defeat on the front line, and implied that he could kill the third prince at any cost to calm Akado's anger.
"Enough! The Eternal Night Empire did not surrender to the Holy Empire in its strongest times! Will it still be knocked down by a small island? Let me kill my son, you don't even think about it! Cough, cough." Ye Qiong's pale face was extremely distorted and shouted reprimanded.
The second prince was silent for a long time and finally looked up and said, "Send someone to immediately choose a concubine for the emperor. This time, I personally screened the top 500 virgins, carefully selected 20 beauties, sent someone to Rome Island, and brought your father's handwritten letter, as long as Rome Island is willing to abandon the past, get along well, and resume trade with our country. In exchange, the Yongye Empire will crown him as a duke, and there will be no hereditary succession!"
Then he continued: "Choose an eloquent person and go to Rome Island to persuade the owner of Rudolph Island to change his mind. The Eternal Night Empire is willing to compensate the owner of Rome Island for 10 million gold coins." When he spoke, his tone trembled a little. If it hadn't been for his third brother's warning, Rome Island would have sent no less than this number of gold coins. This time, it would have been a loss of nearly 20 million gold coins.
"Isn't this compensation a little too much?" Yue Wushen was stunned and then said sadly. Even if a big battle is defeated, it seems that there are few times when the compensation is so huge.
The second prince sneered and replied, "At that time, the Marquis Rudolph sent someone to me to exchange 5 million gold coins and tens of thousands of weapons and equipment for Lin Feng's family. Now how can we be ridiculous?" After saying that, he didn't wait for others to continue, and then said, "Take a hundred royal guards with you. Don't insult the dignity of the Eternal Night Empire. In this way, you won't fight with me for a woman if you want to come to Rome Island."
Yue Wushen sighed and said helplessly, "That's the only way."
Emperor Ye Qiong hit the armrest of the throne and said loudly, "Please remember today's shame. If you have a chance, you will definitely get it back from Rome Island!" In addition, Xia Changfeng actually fell into the trick of the Holy Empire and made another big mistake. He almost buried my Eternal Night Empire and immediately took Xia Changfeng to the heavenly prison for trial! Xia Wuyou was demoted to a higher level and went home to think about it behind closed doors!"
The second prince suggested: "The Holy Empire has caused us trouble this time, which certainly took advantage of the weakness of the Xia family's eagerness to turn over, but it has also really caused us losses. If that's all, it really makes people can't swallow this evil, so revenge is necessary."
He took a look at the veteran Yue Wushen and continued, "The southern line is preparing for a limited attack. Be sure to defeat the troops of the Holy Empire."
The old general Yue Wushen said before going back, "Yes, I will start today and return to the front line to arrange."
After listening to Yue Wushen's words, the second prince continued: "Let our insiders lurking in the holy city release their words, saying that the Holy Empire knew in advance that Lin Ria was the woman of the owner of Rudolph Island!" His move is very clever. If Arcado doesn't believe it, he won't lose anything. Once Arcado believes it, the Eternal Night Empire will have an extra cushion.
Yue Linger came forward and said, "I had a relationship with the Marquis of Rudolph in the negotiation between Angus. This time I can go. Maybe he will sell me a favor."
The second prince hesitated a little, and then said, "Sister Linger, don't go. You are the backbone of the country and the commander of the army. It's not worth taking risks. If this negotiation fails, you can do it." He said in his heart: If it's not because you have the talent to lead the army, why not give you to the owner of Rome Island? But now it is more appropriate to match you and my eldest brother, so as to protect the foundation of my eternal night empire forever.
"As for the saint who caused trouble, I punished him to ban the prince's bedroom and not go out to make trouble for a year." Ye Qiong herself said how to punish Ye Shengcai, so as not to persuade others to aggravate the punishment.
So a farce directed by the Eternal Night Empire was staged. Announcements were posted across the country to select imperial concubines, and then there was the ancient mango version of the talent show, but the scale could not be said on the same day. The virtuous ladies of officials, the lady of the rich family, and the little jasper of the people's family were all elected to participate in the primary election. After dozens of days of busyness, the second prince finally selected 20 beautiful women, trained these women in the art of charming husbands, and personally taught them the skill of inquire, so he was relieved to arrange these women to board the boat.
The second prince actually personally selected the loyal men in the royal bodyguard to supervise the boatmen and envoys not to approach these women, so he was relieved to let several big ships go.
And at this moment, what he never expected was that Rome Island was fighting in the desert and fighting a decisive battle with a force of the Orc Empire in order to fight against the Eternal Night Empire! For the first time in human history, it won a comprehensive victory in the field attack.
