3. The First Great Recruitment Competition Begins
Since the signing of the peace agreements between the nations, the greatest and most formal method for resolving significant irreconcilable conflicts has been the summit of nations. Once again, it has been brought to the agenda due to a troublesome issue, and preparations are underway in the Great Yng Empire, where Louis IV resides.
The content is very straightforward: the Great Yng Empire no longer wishes to continue issuing a warrant for that notorious, villainous con artist, Euclid. This indicates what Louis IV is thinking is difficult to explain, but it is clear that various places have already begun to take action regarding the “discussion” content of this summit.
At this moment, in the cold northern region of the continent, the Rosian Empire.
The esteemed, powerful, dignified, and (crossed out) adorable lifelong Emperor of the Rosian Empire—Ivan Letty—is carefully inspecting his military uniform before picking up the white gloves on the table.
The news of the summit’s commencement has already arrived, accompanied by a document from the Great Yng Empire, whose queen has the audacity to face tanks. It was sent a few days ago for Letty to review. Although Letty does not wish to enter the territory of that treacherous woman—the Great Yng Empire—the content of the summit is too enticing for Letty to even consider backing down.
So…
“Rasputin, as a fellow attendee, I will confirm with you one last time: what is our stance on the most important topic to be discussed at this summit?!”
—
The “big sister” dressed in a white military uniform immediately leaned in.
Rasputin, the most trusted aide by Letty’s side, also the top strategist and bodyguard of the Rosian Empire, hmph!
“To Lady Letty, people like Euclid are universally detested, committing all sorts of evil! We certainly should!”
“Mm!?”
【Pfft】
Letty raised her hand and jabbed the lightning-shaped tip of her sword into Rasputin’s rear, crackling with electricity.
“Chirp!!!”
Rasputin immediately emitted a strange sound, then that already off-key voice suddenly transformed like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, “Of course we should argue based on reason, dismantle the injustice! While agreeing with the Great Yng Empire’s viewpoint, we should find a way to win him back to the Rosian Empire!”
“Hmph, that’s more like it.”
Letty satisfactorily withdrew her sword.
Big brother is Euclid; even knowing this news, Letty wouldn’t have any extra thoughts. Much of Euclid’s heinous actions were originally spread by the church. If at first, Letty couldn’t discern the truth within, after realizing big brother was Euclid , she was certain: 99.999% of it was fabricated by the church to eliminate dissent.
Thus, regarding the discussion at this summit about the warrant for big brother, the position of the Rosian Empire she represented was clear: it must be revoked! This was her decision, entirely unrelated to the reminder sent by that treacherous woman from the Great Yng Empire! It just so happened that their viewpoints aligned this time, which temporarily quelled her thoughts of dealing with that woman and the dogs she raised.
In the next moment, Letty stood up, elegantly draping a long robe over herself, shoving a firearm into her waist, and lifting the alien long sword in her hand.
Rasputin also opened the door ahead of her, then quickly followed Letty out! Outside the palace, snow fell in a cold wind.
“Rasputin, big brother is one of ours in Rosia. If anyone bullies our people at the summit, what should we do!?”
“Send them to the northern islands to feed the fish!”
“And if anyone dares to oppose the Rosian Empire!?”
“Chop them up and throw them to the wolves in Siberia!”
This is the Rosian Empire, This is Russia!
“Gather the troops, to the wolves! We’re going to the Great Yng Empire!”
On the other side.
The elves’ paradise—Pruce Kingdom.
The stance expressed by Queen Louise IV of the Great Yng Empire, along with the news of the summit’s commencement, had already been known to Adev from the very beginning. Previous summits were filled with discord and arguments, but this time Adev found it easy to make a decision.
Now, Adev still remains in her overworked intelligence department, not to confirm the truth of the news, but to conduct further investigations.
Amidst the sounds of magical stone signals and the crackling of documents being formed, King of the Pruce Kingdom—elf Adev stood quietly in the corner, observing her surroundings, commanding the situation, so she could be the first to know of any intelligence that arose .
Then…
“Your Majesty Adev, the results are in.”
The voice of the elf Mel made Adev immediately slap her face, keeping herself alert as she walked over.
“The church has already set out; it seems they are serious about obstructing matters regarding Euclid. As for Euclid, since returning to the Great Yng Empire, there have been no records of him going out these past few days; perhaps he is preparing to avoid the storm. However, given the church’s actions, we have reason to suspect that Euclid may encounter danger soon.”
“As expected. Have the elves there disguise themselves; it’s best to cover every key location Euclid might visit, ensuring intelligence can be relayed back. Feel free to allocate funds for the disguises.”
—
Adéle spoke with a hint of displeasure.
Displeasure was certain, because of Euclid! He actually took the opportunity to run away while she was waiting for someone to take her back from the Austro-Hungarian tribe! Although she did send people to chase after him immediately, by the time they had roughly figured out his and that woman’s whereabouts, they had already returned to the Great Ying Empire. No matter how anxious she was, she couldn’t just send someone across the border to bring him back. With that woman, Kephir, causing trouble, it would be fraught with difficulties.
Fortunately, there was always a way out. Adéle soon discovered that the engagement between Kephir and Euclid had been canceled due to the summit, and she could, for the sake of the summit, justifiably bring people into the Great Ying Empire! Hmph, Euclid , thinking he could play with her and then run away—dream on!
“So, at the summit…”
“Of course, we supported it.”
As for the stance on the “cancellation of the wanted order for Euclid” at the summit, Adéle had never considered any other answer from the beginning. Rather, the queen of the Great Ying Empire having a moment of madness actually helped her a great deal !
“But Mel, you must remember, what we need to show is not that we agree with the Great Ying Empire’s statement, but our own attitude as the Kingdom of Prussia.”
Adéle set down her coffee, put her gloves back on, donned her hat, and secured her dagger back to her waist.
“Whatever the church decides, we in the Kingdom of Prussia never believed it from the start. We never took any wanted orders; at most, we just pretended. Whether Euclid is a wanted criminal or not is not for them to decide; in my Kingdom of Prussia, I have the final say!”
Mel stepped forward, helping Adéle into a coat, then opened the door. Outside, rows of serious-looking elves, their atmosphere tense, were already waiting by several magic stone vehicles in their uniforms.
“The intelligence is mostly gathered; the signal can be activated at any time. After that, we will exchange information.”
“Yes, Your Majesty Adéle, everything is ready.”
“Then let’s set off, it’s been a while since we’ve shown ourselves at the summit of the nations. And by the way, let’s bring back that mischievous princess of the Kingdom of Prussia.”
