Chapter 1049 (1/2)
Since the blood flag revenge more than a year ago, the void duchy has had a very terrible shadow for many nobles in Ryan kingdom. Especially those lords who live next to the Principality of vanity are even more frightened. As soon as they see the sign of another big move in the Principality of vanity, they don't hurry to send envoys to communicate. They are deeply afraid that they will be swept up by the army of the Principality of vanity.
This is the sadness of the weak.
In fact, civilians are eager to become aristocrats and keep working hard. But in fact, after becoming an aristocrat, we will find that the so-called aristocratic world is not as beautiful as they imagined. It is still a game of big fish eating small fish, but there will be at least one more fig leaf in the aristocratic world than naked civilian humiliation. Of course, the game of big fish eating small fish in aristocracy is more cruel than bullying among civilians.
But the void principality is different.
Sean's code of conduct never considered the so-called ”fig leaf”, and he didn't even pay attention to the so-called ”rules of the game among nobles”. For this great Duke, his work depends on his mood - like blood flag revenge. Originally, this kind of thing can only be related to relatives or blood ties, but Sean did it for a northern barbarian who has no blood ties and is a slave. Many nobles are disgusting. Sean just wants to take advantage of the fire.
But so what?
Sean ignored that. He just wanted to avenge Arnold, so he took everyone's revenge.
After this battle, the Principality of vanity became famous completely.
But basically, it also makes many forces feel the bottom of the strength of the Principality of emptiness - in addition to the wing of convictions hidden secretly and the silver Temple Legion obtained from the wilderness, all the existing forces, Legion names, famous generals, famous and powerful people of the Principality of emptiness are completely made public.
This kind of thing has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that many nobles are clearly aware of the gap between themselves and the void principality. Before reaching this strength and inside information, don't go to the trouble of the void principality. It's not the opponent they can compete with at all. This is also the reason why many nobles did not directly challenge the void duchy after knowing that Sean was not in the void duchy through their different intelligence channels.
Just four words: not an opponent.
Of course, it's not that no one wants to provoke those followers while Sean is away, trying to cause a civil strife or usurp power. But what made all the nobles extremely helpless was that few of the secret lobbyists sent out to provoke came back alive - Sean's followers didn't bother to pay attention to what these lobbyists wanted to say or who sent them.
Those with a good temper just let them go.
Those with bad temper, such as Alfred and Abaza, cut people off directly.
Of course, there are also smiling responses, and then turn around to uproot the spies who have spent great efforts and costs in the void principality. The typical representatives of this kind are the empty giants William, Neil and Hella.
However, under such things, people with other thoughts are not absent, but they are basically small people at the bottom and can't turn over any waves. Clough is the only one who can turn the tide. Unfortunately, the object of his oath of eternal allegiance is Cecilia, who is the most unlikely to betray Sean. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether to plot against clough, because all the followers of Sean, even clough himself, know that as long as he dares to rebel or persecute Cecilia, Cecilia dares to kill.
In the face of this solid loyalty belief, even the most powerful lobbyists depict the most perfect blueprint for the future is of no use at all.
As for the harm brought by the battle of blood flag revenge, many big forces have finally updated the intelligence data of the void principality in detail. While they are aware of the gap, if they want to take action against the void principality in the future, they will naturally have more detailed and perfect battle plans and targeted actions. It can be said that this time, the void principality took the initiative to expose its weaknesses.
However, this weakness has not been expanded.
Because in terms of intelligence investigation and counter investigation, the level of the void principality, which has a void territory, has been rated as imperial.
Therefore, in addition to the information that has been exposed by the virtual principality, it is very difficult to obtain the information of the virtual principality from other aspects. Especially after Thain hasting's betrayal and William's attack, the Principality of void has strengthened its intelligence work at the grass-roots level. Therefore, if you want to infiltrate the Principality of void to obtain intelligence, you can't get anything without more than ten years.
Therefore, in a sense, the void principality has always been in an invincible position.
Because of this, once there is any trouble in the void principality with strong strength, profound heritage, mysterious background and gathering of the strong, the surrounding Lords will be informed at the first time and list the matter as the highest priority. They don't want to lose the territory that their ancestors fought so hard to win in their own hands for no reason - although the void principality can't occupy the territory of lane Kingdom even if it fights with the surrounding lords, no nobles are willing to experience a war for no reason.
But it's not Sean's business to negotiate with the outside world.
Diana's role lies in this - Cecilia, the real person in charge of the foreign ministry, left all her work to Diana long after Sean came back. Therefore, the task of receiving those envoys should naturally be in the charge and arrangement of Diana. However, when she brought the Marquis of Flores, a close confidant of the king, Diana naturally should not compare it with others, but treat it extra.
It was also the first time that Diana was really solely responsible for receiving big people at the level of marquis Flores.
However, as more and more senior figures of the void principality arrived at the black swan castle, an extremely heavy atmosphere began to fill the sky of the void principality.
It was only about the battle plan meeting for rescuing leice and assisting hassas. Sean did not attend. Because he felt that he really didn't need to show this face, he left it entirely to Cecilia and William - Diana should have attended the meeting, but Diana had to deal with the problems caused by Sean's return.
