Chapter 1043

"Specter?" Cecilia frowned and looked up and down at the strange young man in front of her with an extremely suspicious look. "Is this a disguise?"

"Oh! Sorry. " Specter suddenly apologized, "I was in a hurry and forgot to take off my mask."

Soon, specter took off the mask that covered his face and revealed a face that was almost wheat in color. Compared with the situation when he met Cecilia and others in the wilderness, specter now obviously looks much more mature: his eyebrows are a little more firm, his eyes are not as floating as before, but a little more hardships.

Since the last time specter performed well in the wilderness, Sean felt that the young man was a talent, so he made a special proposal to William. So now specter doesn't need to run errands everywhere as before. At present, there are more than 80 subordinates under his direct control, including two special action teams specially dispatched from the void Dark Blade for his convenience, totaling 16 people.

In the unified management area division of the void territory, the wilderness is divided into 20 areas, of which 12 areas are the core areas requiring key monitoring and control. Only the general leaders of these 12 regions can have two special action teams dispatched from the void Dark Blade under their command - according to the current internal system of the void realm, except William and rupee, the three small giants, including ellikate and Higley, do not have the command and dispatch power of the void dark blade.

However, there are twelve regional leaders in the wilderness, but each has the command of two empty dark blade teams, which is enough to show the importance of these twelve regions.

In his current status, specter does not need to send confidential documents in person.

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

Cecilia's frown did not stretch out, and she sat back in her chair. However, she did not open the confidential document for the first time, but thought that the secret intelligence network of the void principality might need to be revised and fortified. In the black swan castle, it is difficult for ordinary assassins to sneak in. However, in order to prevent hurting their own people, there are actually several secret roads for members of the void to enter and exit. However, generally, these people are familiar faces, so no additional fortification and inspection are carried out.

Judging from the expansion rate of the void principality today, this approach has become somewhat dangerous.

Once the spies in the void are bribed, these secret roads can easily fall into the enemy's intelligence network, so as to provide the perfect beheading path for the enemies of the void principality. Although Cecilia is confident in the defense ability of the black swan castle, it does not mean that the defense system in other places can be so perfect, just like the empty city and Empty Fortress now in an empty state.

Because Sean's departure gave others a holiday, Noro didn't know where to go, and rotikabas went out to look for the ruins of riding God.

At present, Reina is the only one left behind in the high-end combat force of the void City, because both shefanio and rupee have gone to the * * * kingdom to investigate the intelligence about fog spirit.

Harding, a demon from the underground world, followed Hera - since William was attacked last time, now the three giants of the void travel. Besides the guard, there must be a strong man with high-end combat power. Therefore, the serious lack of high-end combat power naturally leads to unavoidable huge loopholes in the defense system of the whole void principality, especially in the void fortress.

The void fortress was originally built based on the old fortress of the kingdom of dabion in the gorge rift valley.

The overall scale of the fortress is designed to accommodate 100000 soldiers and reserve enough rations for 100000 people for three years. However, due to the lack of alchemy puppets and special technology, even though a large number of magic apprentices and natural architectural masters such as dwarves, dwarfs and goblins have been invested, with the dual investment of a large amount of materials and manpower regardless of gain and loss for nearly two years, At present, only the main city walls on both sides of the gap Rift Valley and the main inner city buildings near the wild land have been built, which is still a long time from the real completion.

Originally, this fortress was used by Sean to guard against the invasion of the tribes in the wilderness one day.

However, with the release of the empty empire plan jointly formulated by Cecilia, Hera, William and Neil, the status of the fortress became somewhat embarrassing.

According to Neil's idea, the fortress is no longer necessary. It's better to save resources and use them for expenses elsewhere. Although Haila and William both thought that the construction of the void fortress was still necessary, they had differences on the construction position of the void fortress: Haila built the void fortress on the original site; William advocated shifting the position of the fortress to the entrance of the gorge rift valley.

Because in William's view, the enemy on the human side is much more terrible than the enemy in the wilderness. Especially in today's empty principality, there is a lack of sufficient strategic depth, so the existence of a defensive fortress is very necessary; On the contrary, in the wilderness, the trade area in the Great Rift Valley built by the former pan continental chamber of Commerce Alliance near the rift valley is still under the control of the void principality. Therefore, if the tribes in the wilderness want to start an army, they can defeat them in an area with vast strategic depth.

Hella's view is just the opposite of William's. Haila believes that the original site of the void fortress remains unchanged, which can not only serve the purpose of deterring all tribes in the wilderness, but also serve as a special defense line. Once there is a conflict between the void principality and the Lords around mankind, they can retreat to the wilderness for another plan. Based on the unique terrain of the gorge Rift Valley, in this square strip area, It is entirely possible to stick to the situation that one man is in charge of the pass and ten thousand people cannot open it.

It can be said that both William and Hella have certain desirability.

But it was Cecilia who finally made the decision - she simply adopted the suggestions of William and Hella and directly built two fortresses at the beginning and end of the gorge Rift Valley, which is also the first child mother integrated fortress on the miracle continent. It is precisely because the fortress must take into account the defense facilities of the two gaps at the head and tail, which will greatly slow down the construction work and time of the whole void fortress.

As for the garrison generals of the fortress, William, Hera and Cecilia are surprisingly consistent: Stalin, who is proficient in defensive operations.

To this end, the first infantry regiment has now been urgently expanded to a scale of 100000 people. Even the second Infantry Regiment under the command of nock has been directly incorporated into it. Therefore, the first infantry regiment has been officially renamed the first Corps. Stalin has served as the head of the army and nock is the deputy head of the army. The first Corps is a corps specializing in Fortress defense, mainly heavy infantry and shield soldiers, supplemented by archers, gunners and a small number of swordsmen. Although the first Legion has directly become the legion with the largest number of troops in the void principality, it is at the cost of the serious decline in the combat power level of the whole Legion: at present, it is only barely maintained in the strength of the quasi third level army, not even the real third level Army.

For this reason, Stalin and nock were very busy. Even if a large number of veterans took over the middle and lower level commanders of the whole corps, the regiment with 100000 people was no larger than the previous 20000 or 30000 people. Just training was enough to make people feel extremely helpless. Not to mention that a regiment specializing in Fortress defense needs to consume a lot of arrows and other fortress defense consumables in training.

However, the first Legion and the void fortress are the most important part of the whole void Empire plan.

Specter came to report that the second phase of the void Empire plan had been completed, which meant the real formation of the first Legion.

The first stage plan is to divide the cohesion of the wild Federation and expand the influence of the void principality in the wild Federation. The second phase of the plan is the formation and formation of the first corps and the solicitation of 12 seats in the wild Federal Parliament. As for the third stage plan, it is the real premise plan for the construction of the void Empire: absorb the tribal members of the wilderness Federation and start to build the imperial prototype of the void empire in the wilderness.

The fourth stage plan is to promote the prototype of the Empire of "peaceful coexistence of mankind and multi-ethnic" in the wilderness, completely absorb the whole wilderness Federation into the territory of the void Empire, and begin to radiate around the wilderness and the void principality. Then the fifth stage plan is to promulgate the relevant laws and systems of the void Empire and officially announce the establishment of the void empire.

This is Cecilia's empty empire plan jointly formulated by William, Hella and Neil.

Hella is responsible for grasping the overall situation and creating the general trend, William is responsible for solving the potential threats that may arise, and Neil is responsible for the improvement of economy, law and system. Cecilia was responsible for the diplomatic work with the wild Federation, as well as the friendly exchanges between the void principality and the surrounding lords before the establishment of the void empire.

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

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

Cecilia quickly sorted out the relevant ideas of the void in her mind, and was ready to put forward the loopholes ignored by the void to William later. Then she picked up the document bag printed with the word "secret" and opened it. However, when Cecilia's eyes glanced over it, she looked shocked: "does William know about it?"

"I don't know, your highness Cecilia." Specter shook his head and said, "I was directly summoned by Lord Haila. She asked me to send this document to you in person. I don't know anything else However, I guess Lord William doesn't know what happened. Otherwise, Lord Haila can contact Lord William by magic communication instead of asking me to send this document in person. "

Cecilia frowned and stared at several documents in the file bag.

It can be clearly seen that Cecilia's mood is a little fierce, because her right hand holding the paper is a little hard, it can be seen that the finger joints are prominent, and even the paper is pinched a little wrinkled.

"Cecilia... Your highness?" Specter wondered.

"Haven't Sean been away for nearly a year?" Cecilia suddenly asked, "have you heard from him?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not the intelligence officer in charge of this." Specter said reluctantly, "and the primary task of the void is to serve the imperial plan..."

Specter's implication was clear: there was no news of Sean at all.

About a year ago, Sean suddenly disappeared without any news. No one in the inner circle who followed Sean knew where he had gone except that Sean was looking for a way to break through the holy land. The only thing that can be clear is that Noro's regular information transmission shows that Sean is still alive, but Noro doesn't know exactly where. He said that he can feel Sean's position only when Sean sends a call message.

To this end, others are also quite helpless.

"The civil strife of the Millennium covenant empire is over." Cecilia sighed. "I have something to trouble you."

"Your Highness, please give instructions." Said specter in a deep voice.

"Tell William that leice has been secretly transferred. At present, there is a good next mobile phone meeting." Cecilia said faintly, "as for whether to rescue leice, it depends on William's own ideas If William decides to rescue, go back and tell Hella that you must fully cooperate with William's action. "

"Yes." Speck nodded. "Anything else?"

"Did Haila say what happened to the information from the * * * kingdom?" Cecilia thought and asked.

"No." Specter was really helpless, because Cecilia asked too many questions beyond his ability.

Just then, a knock on the door outside the study suddenly sounded.

Cecilia glanced at the door, then put all the documents in her hand into the document bag, pushed them to the edge of the table and said, "give them to William and let him decide."

"Yes." Speck nodded, got up, took the paper bag, and soon disappeared into the shadow again.

It was not until specter had completely disappeared that Cecilia said to the door, "come in."

The door was soon opened. A young woman with blond and long waist hair calmly came in. After entering the study, she first turned to close the door, then walked to Cecilia and put several documents in her hand on the table: "Miss Cecilia, it's hard."

This blonde, Diana of the Simon family, is now the acting Minister of the Foreign Ministry of the Principality of vanity.

In the revenge war of the void principality against the Simon family, she wisely chose to surrender and take refuge under Sean's command. With the complete collapse of the Simon family, she abandoned her surname and was willing to be an ordinary leader of the void principality - but in fact, neither Sean nor Neil could let Diana's talent waste, so she soon took the post of acting foreign minister of the void principality.

At Diana's side, there are two dead men trained by the void Dark Blade who have been watching closely, which is also William's idea.

And Diana, of course, can't not know, but she really doesn't care. Because she doesn't have much family honor and pride to the Simon family, taking refuge in the void principality has no loss to her. On the contrary, it is rather a wise choice for her to reach the peak of her life. Because she now has more power and status than she can get in the Simon family.

Before Sean left the void duchy, he granted Diana an aristocratic status: viscount. He doesn't mind that Diana still uses Simon's surname, but Diana resolutely doesn't use it in order to show her loyalty - she wants to use Sean's surname, but it's obviously impossible. So far, Diana has remained silent in the choice of surname.

Before Cecilia took over the foreign affairs of the Principality of void, Diana's name had swept the intelligence network of all aristocrats who closely followed the situation of the Principality of void like a hurricane. They have some ideas about Diana, because this woman is not only as beautiful as a beauty, but also her talent and ability are equally amazing. Many nobles want to take her as a breakthrough to intervene in the affairs of the void duchy, so they have very frequent contact with her.

And Diana is really smart.

For those who have other purposes, she doesn't refuse to come. But after contact, everything will be written and recorded, and all will be handed over to William the next day. Now, among the three giants of the void principality, Diana is basically acquiesced to become the fourth giant, and Cecilia also acquiesced in Diana's plan to join the void empire.

However, the name of "minister's agent" will not be removed for the time being, because there is really no one in the void principality to send to Diana to protect her.

Therefore, the foreign minister in charge of attracting fire outside is Cecilia rumbel sitting in the study of the black swan castle.

"Are these new files?" Cecilia picked up the documents sent by Diana and pointed to a hill of documents on the other side, "these have been reviewed, approved and rejected You can sort it out and get to know it a little bit. The work in charge of explanation will trouble you. "

"I'm just running errands and talking nonsense when I'm a vase. It's not hard." Diana smiled, her smile was very sweet, "it's Miss Cecilia who really works hard Mr. hassas is here again. "

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

"Why is that guy here again?" Cecilia frowned and looked impatient. "Look back and find someone to write a sign that says' dogs and hassas are not allowed to enter ', and then insert it outside the castle door."

"Lord Cecilia, you're kidding, aren't you?" Diana shook her head reluctantly.

Although she admires Cecilia's sophistication in handling things, and many things are handled more perfectly than her, there are many places worth learning even in her attitude and attitude towards things. And such a man who is just like a natural diplomat is actually younger than herself, which makes Diana can only sigh the unfairness of God. There are indeed legends who can be called genius in the world.

Of course, the legendary character sometimes has the same temperament as a child.

"No, I'm serious." Cecilia tilted her head, thought carefully and seriously, and then opened her mouth and said, "if he comes to propose again, you'll drive him out By the way, what do you think of the wooden sign saying "dogs and suitors are not allowed to enter?"

"Alas." Diana sighed and said helplessly, "Miss Cecilia, your identity is the Duke of vanity, the sister of Lord Sean Connery. As long as you can marry you, you can get the help of the whole Duke of vanity, so naturally many people will want to propose to you Moreover, I believe that there are many depressed and frustrated noble young people who don't mind being redundant, because in this way, as long as Lord Sean falls unexpectedly, according to the right of inheritance, you will inherit everything of the void duchy and become the second Archduke of the void duchy. "

"A bunch of whimsical waste." Cecilia glanced. "According to what you say, that hassas is barely a man."

"Although Mr. hassas doesn't rank high in his family's right of succession, he is indeed a very excellent person. I can only blame his family for giving birth to too many talents." Diana simply explained, "moreover, having Mr. hassas publicly express his love for you can stop many unnecessary flies from turning around you. At least... No one with the same strength, status or status as Mr. hassas is qualified to pursue you. "

"Do you think I need him to help me stop those flies?" Cecilia sneered and showed deep disdain. "In my opinion, hassas is more disgusting than ordinary flies, because his buzzing voice is too loud and noisy."

"All right." Diana sighed helplessly, "but today, Mr. hassas really didn't come because he proposed or wanted to see you."

"Oh?" Cecilia raised her eyebrows. "What's the fly doing here?"

"Mr. hassas said he wanted to cooperate with us." Diana took a piece of paper from the document she held in front of her and put it in front of Cecilia. "I think it might be worth our intervention. Because we can not only make huge profits, but also gain the friendship from the zoanton family Moreover, according to Mr. hassas's request for help at this time point, I suspect that the civil strife of the Millennium covenant Empire should be coming to an end, so now is the harvest time for the nobles on the other side of the Millennium covenant Empire to rob the war profits. "

Hearing Diana's words, Cecilia looked at her with some surprise.

In Diana's current capacity, naturally, she is not qualified to contact the surrounding investigation intelligence of the void, because she does not need to be responsible for these. Just from the negotiation with hassas zoanton, we can accurately find some dynamic intelligence of the Millennium covenant empire. Not everyone can have this keen observation and analysis ability. It can be seen from this that Diana really deserves Sean's high look.

The most rare thing is that Diana has made a risk assessment report after her previous negotiation with hassas - now she handed Cecilia this piece of paper, which lists the gains she can get and the risks she needs to take in this transaction with hassas. Although the value at risk is somewhat large, which is not in line with the first consideration of the Foreign Ministry of a principality, combined with the current situation of the empty principality, the harvest is far more than the return of the risk.

Cecilia may not care about the gains in this cooperation plan, but one place has attracted Cecilia's great attention. Her fingers gently knocked on the table, which was a thinking action she had developed recently. Diana assisted Cecilia for more than half a year, so she knew Cecilia's state at this time, so she stood still and didn't bother Cecilia's thinking.

After such a moment, Cecilia's knocking on the table stopped, and then got up: "let's go and see what the big fly wants to do."
