At this time, Locke had been squeezed out of his human shape by the raven, leaving only his mouth exposed.
"What a disgusting ability." Looking at Locke, who could only be described as 'a lump', Ahs thought to himself.
"I have a question to ask you." Lucia stood in front of Locke and said, "You should know that I have been investigating you before, right."
"Haha, of course. As the Lord of Ravens, you are also the person who extradites the souls. Of course we know that you are investigating the balance." Locke opened and closed his mouth and said, "But now you are no longer the person who extradites the souls.
Why are you still interfering with our plan? Does the balance hinder you?"
"You wantonly destroy other people's lives for the so-called balance in your mouth. This is enough to make me unhappy. Moreover, when I was working as a soul extraditer, you also destroyed people's normal life span to cause me trouble. Isn't this right?
Isn't that enough?" Lucia frowned and said, "Tell me where the balance is and who your boss is."
"Boss? Boss? You guy, what do you think of a scale?" Hearing Lucia's words, Locke suddenly shouted angrily, "Are you confusing us with Bill Coster's gang?
You bastard, Scales is not the kind of gangster that can compete with it, so watch your words!"
"You're really brainwashed." Lucia shook her head. A raven flew out from behind Lucia and attached itself to Locke's mouth. In this way, Locke turned into a pile of flesh formed by the raven corpses.
.
"You can't get anything useful out of the mouths of such brainwashed men." Lucia said, "If you really want to know something, you have to wait for the big shot to show up."
"But the first problem now is how to get out of here." Ahes stood on the isolated island and looked around and said, "Now that the ship is gone and there is no one around, how are we going to leave here and go to the Twilight Kingdom."
"The closest place to here is Alacada. If you swim and fly, you can get there anyway." Glinton thought for a moment and said, "But it is more dangerous than anywhere else."
"I know." Lucia said after hearing the name Alakada. "The king of Alakada is a tyrant. Not only is his criminal law cruel, he is also licentious and cruel. Wherever we go rashly, something will happen."
"But there is no other way now." Looking at the endless sea, Ahes said, "We can't stay here and starve to death. No matter how cruel and violent that king is, we should have nothing to do with him."
"You'll know what's going on when you get there. Anyway, there's no other way but to go there, so just go."
........
Ahes swam in the sea for a long time, during which time he was holding Glinton, who had turned into pieces. Just when Ahes felt exhausted, Lucia finally spoke.
After landing, looking at the majestic city walls, Ahes suddenly felt a familiar feeling.
This place is different from the many countries that Ahs has visited so far. Although Arakada sounds like the name of a European country, its appearance and scale are clearly that of an ancient Chinese country.
Ahes felt a little happy. Could it be that there really is a country similar to ancient China in this world?
But Glinton's next words gave Ahers a slap in the face.
"Alakada was just a small, low-income country composed of a bunch of local indigenous people at the beginning. Then it slowly developed by constantly arresting some outsiders and forcing them to marry and have children with the locals."
Such a disgusting history made Ahes refuse to associate it with ancient China.
"By the way, the king has not changed anyone since decades ago." Lucia added, "His contract is [The Book of Reincarnation Fire], which is a forbidden book."
————————————————————————
Due to the recent rumors of unrest in the world, many countries have joined together to hold a disarmament conference. The disarmament conference is nothing more than representatives of several countries putting forward their own national proposals to maintain world peace.
Among them, the proposal proposed by Carlos is to reduce the level of the military of all countries to the same level as Yipre. This is the best way to maintain world peace.
Of course, Carlos himself knows that this is impossible to achieve. This is also part of Carlos' plan. After his proposal is rejected, Carlos can blame other countries for threatening world peace and undermining disarmament.
When the time comes, I will naturally put forward the proposal to restore the Yipur conscription system and expand the army.
Carlos was betting on Helworth's attitude.
As Carlos thought, the first person to protest against the proposal to restore the conscription system in Ypres was not Helworth, but Grituna. After all, Grituna was directly bordering Ipres and had lost to Ypres in the previous war.
After passing Ypres, Grituna got its original region back through the victory of Helworth. Grituna is the country that most hopes to trample Ypres under its feet forever.
But this conflicts with Helworth's interests. If the strength of Grituna on the Western Continent continues to develop like this, it will surpass the current Helworth sooner or later. Therefore, regarding the proposal to restore the conscription system, Helworth's representative only
A letter of protest was issued, nothing more, and Grituna's proposal to continue economic sanctions against Ypres was completely ignored.
In this way, relying on the conflict of interest between Grituna and Helworth, Carlos succeeded in restoring conscription and expanding the size of the army to half a million people under the noses of all countries.
Moreover, Carlos would soon meet King Christian of Helworth at Ypres.
Prior to this, Carlos did not make any preparations, but often visited the execution ground.
No one knew what Carlos did when he went to the execution ground every day. They only knew that Carlos walked out of the execution ground with a refreshed expression every time, and sometimes his clothes were stained with blood.
On the appointed date, Carlos and Christian successfully met.
"Hello, Mr. Christian Simons, I have long admired your name." After there were only two people left in the meeting room, Carlos said with a smile, "I have long heard that Mr. Christian is one of the youngest kings of Helworth.
I didn’t expect to be so young, it’s really amazing.”
"Haha, each other." Christian smiled and said, "You should know why I came here this time."
"I know, it's about conscription and military expansion."
"Of course, you know, you are violating the agreement by doing this." Despite saying this, Christian's expression did not change. "You are not giving me face, Mr. Carlos."
"Haha, you are joking, how could I not give you face?" Carlos leaned forward and looked into Christian's eyes and said, "I just want to protect the security of the country. Grituna has been very unhappy recently.
To be honest, there is even the momentum to launch a war with us. By then, Yipur will undoubtedly be defeated. In that case, we will become a vassal state of Grituna, and Grituna's strength will also be even higher.
Floor, neither you nor I want to see that situation, right?"
"Is what you said true."
"Haha, if there is going to be a war, the kids on the street will all know about it." Carlos smiled, but he was a little nervous. Grituna's plan to start a war was completely nonsense. If Christian really went to confirm, he would
The lies will be exposed on the spot.
Fortunately, Christian didn't mean that.
"The top priority now is to deal with Grituna. To be honest, Mr. Christian, Helworth and Grituna are separated by two sides. If Grituna really wants to do something, Helworth will not be able to restrain it in time.
Yes, what I said is correct."
"Indeed." Christian nodded.
"So, I think it's best for us to restrain Grituna now, and we can talk about the agreement later." Carlos said, his eyes changed, "So, I hope you can promise me to restore the naval armament of Ypres.
