Chapter 446 Nield's Neutrality
When Shuman appeared in Nield with a hundred fully armed Githyanki and his last dozen guards, the little maid Isa, who was discussing countermeasures with Sir River, was stunned.
The departure of this young city lord means that Huiyao City will become a no-man's land without all its violent agencies.
In a world like the main plane, being ownerless means being powerless.
But Shuman didn't care at all.
"Isa, the royal family's goal is to steadily harvest faith. The temples in Huiyao City will help me stabilize the situation."
Taking the black tea handed over by his maid, Xiuman took a sip out of habit. As soon as the warm black tea touched his tongue, the young city lord's eyebrows twitched twice.
"Sir River... your taste is really... indescribable."
River, who has been busy at Neild, is no longer the sickly look he had before.
After swearing allegiance to Ivan, River began to learn from the demigod Annie Lightfoot and did everything himself.
Especially in terms of weapons production, as long as this knight opens his eyes every day, he will definitely appear in Neild's military workshop.
In his words, in addition to pursuing the so-called noble title, he has found a new lifelong pursuit - of course, this statement is somewhat exaggerated.
Ruiwo, who found the fun, was almost about to replace Darryl, the head of the military workshop, and become the new boss of the workshop.
Because of this, Ruiwo's skin, which has been working on the assembly line for a long time, has turned into a healthy wheat color.
If he hadn't been wearing that complicated royal aristocratic attire, Xuman would have thought he saw a human miner from Nield.
"How's it going, River? I think my order should be almost done."
“How is that possible! Lord Xiuman, your order and the Tomba family’s order were produced at the same time.
Now, no matter which one, the output of [Flying Eyes] is less than one-third..."
"Tomba also placed an order?"
Xiuman looked at Isa suspiciously, while the latter twitched her lips calmly.
The city lord's maid took two steps forward and stood on tiptoe to explain in Xiuman's ear.
"Master Xiuman, don't you remember?
After you reached a win-win agreement with the long-legged Miss Lizzie, you promised to let Tomba have the same schedule as you did at the Nield Arms Factory..."
"Ahaha! Right, right, right..."
Xiuman put down the red teacup in his hand and laughed awkwardly twice.
Then, he looked at Ruiwo, whose temperament had changed a little, and asked casually.
"So, Sir River, how many [Flying Eyes] can Nield use now?"
"Fifty of the aircraft ordered by you and Tomba have completed testing. The order from the Temple of Tyr is scheduled after yours and has not started yet."
"That much? What if we add what Nield has already put into use?"
"That's only a hundred units... Lord Xiuman, what do you want to do?"
Ruiwo's heart tightened for no reason. He felt that the city lord's visit this time was not that simple.
Especially when he learned from Isa that the Fourth Knight led his army to visit Huiyao City.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Revo, you are also a noble from the royal capital."
Xiuman slowly stood up and walked up to River.
His eyes were fixed on Revo. Just like before, this kind of suppression from his professional rank made Revo feel a little scared.
"Sir River, I would like to know, after you swore allegiance to Aven, do you still respect the royal family?"
"Royal family? Xiuman, are you planning to...
No, no, no, Lord Xiuman, I will not stand on the side of the royal family, but I also advise you not to do anything out of line.
The strength of the human kingdom does not rely on those grassroots soldiers, but on the legendary fighting power of the royal family.
You understand politics, Lord Mayor.
I can't declare war on the Kingdom's Knights, because that means we have to deal with the top forces from the Kingdom at the same time, plus the armies of several temples!
For the sake of Lord Ivan, I will let Nield remain absolutely neutral in your dispute..."
River was a smart man. He guessed what the young city lord was going to do from just a few words from Xiuman.
Seeing River's undisguised refusal, Xiuman was not surprised.
No matter what, forces like Revo and Nordman, which came from the capital, were outsiders to Huiyao City and the North.
When Xiuman chose to go to war with the royal capital, it was already good enough that they could remain neutral.
But Xiuman still wants to try harder.
He took out the old book written by the old city lord from his arms and slowly handed it to Ruiwo.
Like Xiuman, Ruiwo's pupils also trembled after reading the contents of the book.
Even his legs were shaking.
After reading it for the second time, River tried hard to control the trembling of his hands and returned the book to Xiuman.
"Lord Xiuman, I know your intention, but I still have to say sorry...
Neither I nor Lord Alvin should take any drastic actions at this time.
If Lord Ivan has already fallen into this vortex, then I need to stabilize Neild's attitude in front of the royal family.
That way, even if he ultimately fails, maybe he'll still have a secret place to stay... and the same for you.
Furthermore, I still hope that you can reconsider whether or not to go against such a terrible enemy."
Taking the book back from River, Shuman tilted his head and looked at the lively Neild outside the window.
“Thank you for your kindness, Revo.
Since you plan to stay here, please hand over my new weapons...
It would be better to take out more crystals. I have a feeling that this war will last a long time."
……
Breath of the Moon Sea, on the island in the middle of the river surrounded by the Miral River, the special dark elf, Iris's clone, was leading a group of dark elf sorcerers, looking at the human cavalry on the other side of the river.
Percy, who had regained consciousness, followed the team, but his weapons and equipment were confiscated.
Tieflings are synonymous with chaos, and even the notorious dark elves don't give them too much trust.
The dark elf woman standing in the middle of the team lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something, her lips moving from time to time.
The divine magicians around her looked at the other side with nervous expressions.
“Sister… the city guard sisters haven’t returned yet.
How can we, with just a few of us, resist this cavalry of nearly a thousand men?"
"Shh! Quiet! Didn't you see that my elder sister is meditating again?
Don't disturb Big Sister when she's talking to herself!"
