Chapter 140

"The thundering female martial god?" Neil asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes." Sean nodded.

"Why does everyone like her?" Neil muttered and looked very puzzled. "Tell me first, do you want to be her pioneering knight, or do you like her for another reason?"

"Is there a difference?" Sean looked stunned and asked back.

"Of course there's a difference. No difference. What else do I have to ask you?" Neil curled his mouth and looked like an idiot.

"In fact, my real purpose is to become a Lord. At present, although there are wars everywhere on the miracle continent, it is obviously impossible to rise to be a Lord through a war." Sean thought for a moment, and then began to describe his reasons, "so my goal is to start with pioneering knights. I'm still young and my followers are still young, so I can spend a few years to lay down a territory and become a Lord. I can do all these things Moreover, the most important point is that Athena also started from scratch as a pioneering knight, so it's much better to be a pioneering Knight under her command than under other people. "

Neil is noncommittal.

Seeing that Neil didn't speak, Sean thought about it and said, "at least I think so. As long as my achievements are achieved, she will not be an obstacle to my further progress."

"Then what can you bring to Athena?" Neil asked.

"War." Sean said without thinking, "Athena has long wanted to send troops to the kingdom of dabion again, but there is no excuse, but I can find a suitable excuse for him But not now, at least after I become a formal Lord. "

"In other words, you are not attracted to Athena or conquered by her charm, but just want to use her as a springboard?" Neil raised his eyebrows.

"That's right." Sean thought for a moment. That's really understandable.

"Then my advice to you is to go straight to the door." Neil said calmly, "you tell her you can give her a war, an excuse to fight again against the kingdom of dabion. In exchange, she will provide you with a certain degree of protection, including giving you the title of knight and developing your knighthood Well, maybe you can do a little more in this regard, so you can even get a jazz fief as your base. "

"That's it?" Sean is a little silly.

"How difficult do you think it is?" Neil asked back, "according to what I know, Athena is actually very simple and straightforward. As long as you can give her what she needs, you can exchange what you need. This is a fair and equal exchange, isn't it But the real difficulty of this problem is how to make yasna believe that you can give her a reason to go to war. "

"I've thought about that." Sean said in a deep voice, "beyond the border between the two armies of the Principality of Ryan and the kingdom of dabion, there is a wilderness. There is the most important trade route of the kingdom of dabion. As long as I stop this route, the nobles of dabion will come to me for trouble. As long as the trouble is big enough, Athena has an excuse to send troops."

The wild land is just a private name of various countries. In fact, this land is called the wild tribe United Nations. There are more than 100 tribes living here. These tribes are large and small, and the coverage of races is extremely wide. You can see from orcs, orcs to humans, barbarians, gray elves and so on. Although these tribes call themselves the United Nations, they are actually constantly fighting within.

On average, at least three new tribes are born and one or two tribes die every day. There are many reasons for this extinction, perhaps internal fighting among tribes, attacks by slave teams, and more likely military attacks and repression from several surrounding countries. In a word, this is an extremely chaotic place, but it is also an extremely important place, because the whole wilderness is full of invisible wealth.

This land provides a continuous source of slaves for several surrounding countries. It is an important trade place for several surrounding countries. It is also a piece of hard meat that will definitely collapse if it is occupied alone - at least other surrounding countries will never agree that anyone will monopolize this land, even the Millennium covenant empire. For some reason, as the most powerful empire around, the Millennium covenant Empire also seems to maintain the consistent tradition of this land and did not completely occupy it.

It's like all the countries around have reached an agreement on this.

Sean said that after cutting off the trade of the kingdom of dabion on this land, it is equivalent to cutting off nearly half of the economic sources of the kingdom of dabion. If this can not lead to war, the kingdom of dabion would have been swallowed by other countries.

"Not to mention whether you have the ability to cut off the tentacles of the kingdom of dabion extending to this land, just because you are the pioneering Knight under Athena's command is enough to make Athena suffer extremely strong condemnation." Neil shook his head. "Don't forget, now the Principality of lane and the kingdom of dabion are in peace. If you act so rashly, you will only implicate Athena."

"William, can you find an excuse for war in this land?" Sean turned his head and looked at William. "It won't bring public opinion trouble to Athena."

"It's not a big problem if you just let the nobles of the kingdom of dabion start on you first." William thought a little and then said, "as long as those nobles start with you first, then we have a positive reason to start a war But this layout will take a little longer. We need to have our own base first, and this base must be connected with the territory of the kingdom of dabion. "

"Since you say so, there's no problem." Sean turned to look at Neil and said, "you see, the problem is solved."

Neil was a little surprised that Sean and William covered up the problem with a few simple conversations. But his surprise was not the conversation between William and Sean, but William's attitude towards Sean.

"Have you become his follower?" Neil looked at William in amazement as soon as he came.

"Yes." William did not deny this, "in fact, we come to you this time just to hope you can join us You know, if a territory wants to develop, it needs internal affairs processing personnel, but at present, we don't have talents in this field, and you are my good friend, so I recommend you to Sean and come all the way here. "

Hearing William's sudden invitation, Neil fell into silence.

"As long as you are willing to join us, no matter what conditions and requirements you offer, I will try my best to meet them." Sean said sincerely, "if you want to continue to study your interests, I can also provide financial assistance Mr. Neil, you have served as many lords' staff, so you must know how important an excellent staff is for the development of a territory. "

"Behind the success of any lord, there must be a staff think tank, because people's energy is very limited..."

"Let me think about it." Neil shook his head and interrupted Sean's long prepared speech. "I do know the importance of an aide to a lord and a territory, but for an aide, the character of a lord is also very important I don't know you or your temperament. Today is just our first meeting, and you don't even have a territory, so it's obviously unrealistic for me to join you now. "

Hearing what Neil said, Sean knew that he had prepared several speeches, none of which could be used, because Neil seemed very easy-going, but in fact he was a very stubborn person. From his words, Sean already felt that Neil was obviously not very optimistic about his future, but when he thought about it, he understood that a lord who didn't even have territory could not recruit staff to help?

William and Cecilia also clearly heard the subtext in Neil's words, so they didn't say anything.

"Now that you have a way to make Athena trust you, I don't need to say anything about the discussion of these details." Neil soon adjusted his mood and said with a smile, "now the key problem you really face is how to meet Athena The Marquis of tonis has been in the fortress's residence since she built tonis fortress. Many people went to submit famous posts to visit, but none of them could succeed. I think this step is actually the most difficult. "

"Then do you have any good ideas?" Sean's attitude has also changed. Since the other party has no intention to join him for the time being, Sean certainly won't force him, so he really regards himself as the person who comes to ask questions with an open mind, rather than recruiting Neil's Lord.

"There is a most direct way." Neil thought a little and then said, "but the success rate is not high. It's only half the chance."

"What can I do?" Sean asked eagerly, not to mention half the success rate. Even if it was only 10%, Sean would try.

"Write down the key content of your plan, but don't write it in too detail, as long as it can slightly arouse Athena's appetite And remember, you must not submit it in the form of famous posts. " Neil said in a deep voice, "if you submit a famous post, athena will never read it, so such a famous post will usually be cut off and thrown away by her housekeeper, but if you write it in the form of official documents, at least half of the chance will be sent to Athena's desk As long as yasna, as you guessed, is very eager to send troops to the kingdom of dabion again, she will summon you and talk to you about other details of the plan. "

"What if that doesn't work?"

"Then it proves that your guess is wrong. Athena doesn't care whether to send troops again, and you will be in danger because of the leakage of this plan. My advice to you is to run as far as you can, otherwise you will die very ugly This is a gamble. If you win, everything will go as you expected. If you lose, you will be doomed. At least in the Principality of lane and the kingdom of dabion, you have no possibility of turning over. "

Sean thanked Neil very sincerely: "I see."（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
