Chapter 741 Serving as Ambassador
In early August of the Glorious Year 9757, the Northern Issi Kingdom annihilated the Angoya Empire's more than million northern expeditionary troops and completely captured the city-state kingdom of Yahewan.
When the news spread among the Ilia Expeditionary Force, everyone knew that the offensive against the Angoya Empire was about to begin.
Since January 9753, 1 in the Glorious Calendar, this expedition campaign has lasted for fifty-six months.
The expeditionary force of the Apfeng Kingdom, which believes in the goddess of harvest, has broken through the Free Kingdom of Tadand, the Chiefdom of Dorlunla and the Kingdom of Ramin, and is heading straight for the homeland of the Vilas United Empire.
The army of the God of Courage conquered the Grand Duchy of Shilig, the Kingdom of Adli and the Empire of Briana, and forced the Duchy of Cornwall and the Alliance of Free Cities of Alberta to surrender. Now it has switched to a defensive posture, preparing to expand to the west and north after consuming the occupied areas.
In the city of Naxos, the Ilia Kingdom expeditionary force headquarters, the expeditionary force commander Duke Easter, the expeditionary force chief archmage Duke Moravia, and Saint Anastasia of the Ilia Kingdom's Church of Life sat down around a round table and began today's agenda.
"The royal family of the Teton Kingdom secretly sent envoys across the Ansa-Teton Sea, hoping to convert the entire country to become believers of the Goddess of Life. What do you two think about this?" Duke Easter placed a gold-rimmed letter on the round table and spoke slowly.
The Duke of Moravia sat calmly on a suspended chair, his mind no longer in the conference room.
Saint Anastasia raised her hand slightly, and the letter from the Teton Kingdom came into her hand. She opened the first page and the first sentence was a honorific. It was obvious that the King of the Teton Kingdom placed himself in a very low position.
Watching Saint Anastasia reading the letter, Duke East did not interrupt her. He sat quietly in his chair and devoted part of his mind to planning the strategic plan for attacking the Angoya Empire.
There are four people in the decision-making level of the expeditionary force. Bradley Silvester guards the eastern border of the Principality of Neuss, the chief wizard, the Duke of Moravia, stays in the floating city every day and ignores worldly affairs, and the saint only cares about spreading faith. In this way, most of the affairs need to be handled by him.
After a long time, Saint Anastasia put down the letter from the Kingdom of Teton, opened her red lips, and said in an elegant and tactful tone: "To take over a country by non-war means is in accordance with the Holy Scripture of Life."
"Duke Moravia, what do you think?" After getting the saint's affirmation, Duke Easter looked at the Duke of Moravia again and asked for his opinion.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Moravia opened his eyes and replied, "I agree with the Saint's proposal."
"I agree, too. Now it's about the three votes for the principality." Duke East crossed his hands on the round table, looked at the two, and then said, "Duke Moravia, Saint Anastasia, who do you think is the most suitable to be the envoy to the Kingdom of Teton."
Saint Anastasia raised her head and said in a voice like a silver bell: "The grandson of the Duke of Moravia, the Deputy Minister of Logistics, the Commander of the 15th Army of the Fourth Legion, Viscount Qixing Verin Akers, I think he is very suitable."
"Whether it's the Stovia Region, the Beixihai Region, or the Geman Central Region where he is currently stationed, the civilians in those regions have the highest level of faith in the Goddess of Life and are the fastest to convert."
"In my opinion, sending him as an envoy to the Teton Kingdom will help quickly integrate the Teton Kingdom and cleanse the pagans within its territory."
After hearing this, the Duke of East nodded in agreement, and then looked at the Duke of Moravia, wanting to hear his opinion.
Seeing the two people looking at him, the Duke of Moravia replied helplessly: "If you are not afraid that the boy will go to the Teton Kingdom to lie down and play under the guise of a diplomatic mission, then I have no objection."
"Space Walker, according to the report of the Inquisition, during the time when Viscount Qi Xing served as Deputy Minister of Logistics, he only received excessive war supplies once, and did not violate military regulations at other times. Moreover, his performance during the war was remarkable, and there seemed to be no such phenomena as you mentioned." Saint Anastasia had a slightly curious look on her face. This child of miracles was appointed by the Pope as Deputy Minister of Logistics. She had been intentionally observing him since the beginning of the war.
"If you send this kid on a diplomatic mission to the Teton Kingdom, you'd better set standards for completing the mission and promise a reward, otherwise this kid won't work hard."
From the expressions of the two men, the Duke of Moravia had already read out the candidates for the envoys.
He could have made the two change their minds if he had been tough, but there was no need to do that.
It's just an indigenous kingdom. If it dares to harm my grandson, I will just destroy it. It's not a big deal.
"Then the ambassador to the Kingdom of Teton should be Viscount Qixing. I believe that our child of miracle will definitely bring us surprises."
The moment the three people signed their names on the order document, it meant that the order came into effect.
……
Three days later, in the central district of German in the Principality of Neuss, Weilin was sitting in his study and lazing around.
After several months of governance, the central area of German is thriving. Compared with the rule of the original German Kingdom, most Germans have accepted their new identity as Noys people from the bottom of their hearts, and their belief in the Goddess of Life has become more devout.
"dong dong dong"
Hearing the knock on the door, Weilin sat up and said, "Come in."
Outside the study, Kyle heard the voice of his master, pushed the door open, walked to the desk, and placed a command document on the table.
Weilin looked at the document from the expeditionary force headquarters, flipped it open and checked it, looking a little confused.
Looking at Weilin's expression, Kyle asked curiously, "My Lord, what happened? Are you going to prepare to attack the Angoya Empire?"
"No." Weilin closed the order document, leaned weakly on the table, and said unhappily, "Commander-in-Chief East ordered me to serve as an ambassador to the Kingdom of Teton."
"The Teton Kingdom, the kingdom across the Ansa-Teton Sea." Kyle recalled the information in his mind and said with some curiosity.
"Yes, it is that country. Perhaps it saw that the Ansa Kingdom and the Geman Kingdom were destroyed one after another, and the Angoya Empire was also in danger, so it was ready to surrender to the expeditionary force in exchange for retaining its own power."
"What is the reward given by the headquarters?" Kyle asked.
Weilin handed over the order document without saying a word.
Kyle took the command document and opened it to check. The reward for completing the task was fifty military merits, which was not as much as killing two indigenous warriors of the Saint Seal level on the battlefield.
"My Lord, there are some rewards that the expeditionary command will not give you. You can get them from the Teton Kingdom."
Weilin sat up, his eyes brightened, and said, "You are right. Since the expeditionary headquarters won't give it to us, we can go to the Teton Kingdom to get it."
Thinking from another perspective, being an ambassador doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
