Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

The Duke of Volinia still understood the truth that ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand, and the truth that rare things are more valuable is known to everyone.

The infected people only have one city in their hands, even if they try their best to produce this drug, the output will not be much higher, at least it cannot be used by the infected people all over the world.

He is different. He owns an entire dukedom and more than a dozen mobile cities in his hands. This is not a mobile city like the infected with only one or two mobile platforms.

If he produces with all his strength, the benefits he can bring can blind anyone's eyes. After obtaining these financial resources, he will not settle in a corner like Longmen. He will expand and seek greater rights.

Under such a bombardment of thinking, the heart of announcing this news became weak. In the Fourth Army, there were three other companies with similar strength to him. If the other three "allies" knew about this, he could still get How much benefit?

Of course, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there is always a possibility that the news will be known to them, but how can it be, at that time, he is already one step ahead, and as long as he is one step ahead, he will be one step ahead in the future.

As for the gap between allies, it doesn't matter.

When a person's greed comes together, he will find countless reasons and rationales for his actions.

But after all, is the so-called thinking of a person dominated by greed really reasonable?Then maybe we can only use the facts in the future to speak.

The balance between the sarcophagus and the inhibitory potion in the Duke of Volinia's heart has begun to tilt, and the unsatisfactory war is naturally also a key factor affecting the weights on both sides of the balance.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice to take the sarcophagus and the inhibitor together?

But now he has to consider the combat effectiveness of the infected. Now that it is becoming more and more difficult to snatch the sarcophagus, the balance is constantly tilting in the direction of the inhibitory potion, especially because he is worried that too much oppression of the infected will cause the intelligence of the suppressive potion to flow out quickly and be used by other big players. The noble consortium learned.

Finally, the Duke of Volynnia made a decision. He was ready to stop the war, but he was not ready to negotiate peacefully with the infected.

Peaceful negotiations meant that he did not win, and such negotiations would affect his reputation no matter what the result was, and increase the reputation of the leader of the infected.So he plans to withdraw directly.

Anyway, he doesn't believe that the infected still want to continue fighting. I'm afraid that the opposite side of his withdrawal will be grateful to Dade for not killing him.

Chapter 1245 New Seller

The Duke of Volinnia thinks he has mastered the law of victory, but the information he regards as a treasure does not care so much to the idle wolf.

As long as it is suitable, she doesn't mind disseminating these materials. Of course, this is also a kind of self-protection. It is not a joke for a three-year-old child to hold money in the market.

So instead of holding these materials as treasures, it is better to use them to create some value.

The Duke of Volinia has obviously become a little selfish under the influence of greed. He thinks that the infected will definitely keep these secrets in the bottom of the box, but he never thought that the infected would be like this Generous.

Hei, who was wearing a translucent parasol, walked in the residence of the Duke of Novgorod, dressed exactly the same as when he assassinated Count Luki.

At any rate, military control was maintained here during the war, but Hei just pretended to be a lady from a big family with a smile on his lips and observed everything around him nonchalantly, keeping the terrain firmly in his mind.

Even though she was pretending to be a young lady and not performing an assassination mission, she still abided by some killer's rules.

However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I would like to mention that it is not the standard of a killer to be so conspicuous and unique.

Think of the kind of killer or assassin who wears a hood, behaves in a high-profile way and doesn't fit in with the people around him, and can't be discovered, only appears in the game.

People in reality are not so stupid, just after Hei continued to walk for a few minutes, she was surrounded, and those who surrounded her were not ordinary policemen, but real soldiers, it seems that those in power also knew Can't stop Hei.

Even though her disguise and make-up skills made her completely different from the well-known killer Hei in the killer world, the Duke of Novgorod obviously knew that she was the killer who assassinated Count Luki back then.

With such skills, one cannot be too vigilant. The soldiers of these four groups formed formations against enemy officers, with shield guards in front and crossbowmen aiming in all directions. archenemy.

Gently put down the parasol and put it away, Hei stepped on high heels to avoid the arrows shot at her, and did not fight back but saluted with a smile on his face.

"I have a business to discuss with your Duke, please tell him for me."

Who would dare to do this kind of thing? What if the killer goes crazy and kills the Duke? If there is chaos in the territory, everyone here can't be pleased. Even if they are not held accountable, the chaos means a sharp drop in living standards .

"Is no one willing to do me such a small favor?"

Tilting her head, such a small action made more than one person swallow her saliva. Hei is definitely a great beauty in any sense, especially when she still has such a "delicate" appearance, her lethality can be described as horror.

But it's still impossible to get them to take care of everything in one go. Sex and life are more important than the latter.

"Well, if any of you give me a communication device, it will be no problem for me to talk to your Duke through it."

A soldier who was standing behind the crowd, holding a communication device in his hand, nodded to the person he was talking to, walked out of the crowd, and handed the device to Hei.

He carefully avoided touching Hei's fingers, not just because of gentlemanly demeanor, which is something Victorian people pay attention to, but because he was afraid that he would be killed by Hei.

"Hello, is this His Excellency the Duke of Novgorod?"

"Who are you."

Through the communication device, he couldn't feel any vigilance from the man on the other side. Hei Cong's voice and the portrait of Duke Novgorod he had seen before analyzed his character.

A relatively powerful and equally ambitious nobleman, but unfortunately he is a little older, already over half a century old.I don't know if such aristocrats will bury hidden dangers for the family. After all, it's not very pleasant to talk about annexing the land of vassals.

He can suppress everything while alive, but what about dead?Look at Emperor Fyodor's father, what happened to Ursus after the death of an extremely powerful emperor-a great rebellion that caused Ursus to lose most of his aggressiveness.

But this is only a bad thing for the Ursas, and it is unscrupulous good news for the international community.

For the two opposing sides, good and bad things, enemies and heroes are always opposites.

"You can call me black."

"Oh, Kiesta's legendary assassin, I didn't expect you to betray Kiesta and join this riot?"

Of course, Hei would not say that Xista is also supporting the International behind his back. Xista is a tourist city, and he does not have such a strong force in his hands. Such a misunderstanding is naturally what Hei wishes for.

"My leader is a very charismatic person, that's why I choose to fight for her." Hei changed the subject, "But I'm not here just to tell you this, but I have a big business deal with you." You discuss."

"Business? Let's hear it."

From the tone of his voice, Hei felt that the Duke of Novgorod definitely didn't take this sentence to heart. I'm afraid he thought Hei was here to "surrender".

"Are you sure you want me to tell you in such a public, or are you tired of these soldiers and plan to change?"

The meaning of these words is very simple. To put it bluntly, are you going to kill so many soldiers?

After listening to these soldiers, they also felt that something was wrong, but they really didn't dare to retreat. Fortunately, they were ordered to retreat 20 meters after a while, and it was impossible for them to overhear the two people at such a distance. dialogue.

I believe that the other party will take this matter a little more seriously after this matter, so Kuro has no choice but to continue the conversation.

"I don't know if your intelligence personnel have received a message. The Duke of Volynya has a traitor in our hands."

"traitor?"

He only needs to hear the two words Hei to be sure that the other party absolutely does not know about it. This means Ye Yan's speculation and fight, and Hei himself has a lot more room to maneuver.

"Of course, that damned traitor told the Duke of Volynnia a secret, and we believe that you will also be interested in this secret."

"Don't worry, why are you so kind?"

Novgorod still seemed quite restrained, and did not choose to ask questions immediately.

"Of course it is because this is a deal. We hope that you will not participate in the next war after knowing this secret. Please rest assured that this secret is definitely worth the price. This offer is definitely higher than that of the Duke of Volynnia Give a lot.

Besides, when the Duke of Volynya decided to keep this secret for himself, he betrayed the tacit agreement with you, didn't he? "

On the other end of the communication device, Duke Novgorod seemed to be thinking about something, and the voice came back after about ten seconds.

"What kind of secret, tell me."

Chapter 1246 The So-Called Confidence

"The Duke of Volinia has our trump card, a medicine that can be mass-produced to treat ore disease. The production cost of this medicine is extremely low, less than one-fifth of the current medicine, and the effect is remarkable. .”

"I may not have heard clearly, can you say it again?"

Did he not hear clearly, or did the Duke of Novgorod not believe it?Hei didn't repeat what he said before, but just waited quietly.

It took about 2 minutes for him to finally digest the somewhat alarming news.

"Okay, that bear cub got such a good thing, but what does it have to do with me?"

"It depends on what you think. You can send someone to question him, or you can do nothing, and you can even grab it. I don't believe you didn't plant chess pieces under his hands."

For the first time, Novgorod thought that the infected were trying to provoke a fight between their two great nobles, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

If it is a lie, then this kind of lie is too easy to be exposed, but if it is the truth... the Duke of Volynnia will definitely expand his power after obtaining such a profiteering commodity, which is not good news for him .

And he could imagine that that brat would never hand over this kind of benefit. Even if it was a nominal cooperation, he would only get some leftovers. After all, he couldn't give an equal benefit exchange.

But because he broke with the powerful duke who was also a great nobleman, he couldn't make such a decision.

The Fourth Army is generally a coalition of similar interests. If it does not form a group, it will not be able to resist Casimir's counterattack, the invasion of the Arctic demons, and the pressure from the center of the empire.

Once this whole breaks with each other, the consequences will be quite serious.

"..."

"Oh, is it possible that your Excellency, the Duke, is worried about the consequences of falling out with the Duke of Volhynia, but does he know that you are so worried about the Duke of Volhynia? As far as I know, he doesn't have such worries."

Hei poured each sentence into the ear of the Duke of Novgorod with a sweet voice that made him a little sick.

The current situation is close to the Prisoner's Dilemma. If the two great nobles really work together, they can both develop, but it is precisely because of the existence of greed that no one makes this originally the most reasonable option.

Of course, if the two dukes really choose to work together, then the world can still find the other two dukes to continue to muddy the water. When there are too many people, there will always be various messes.

"Then why don't I make another choice, I can still get the formula from you in some special way."

"If you can do it, try it."

Hei smiled. This is the change brought about by the previous war. The Ursas are not invincible. Even they have never had an advantage in the war, which also gave the international confidence to talk to the Ursas.

Hei didn't want to use honorifics to Novgorod for a long time, and now he just replaced you with you.

"Let's not talk about whether you can defeat us and take away the formula. When you chose to attack us, the Duke of Volynnia was vigorously developing the factory. After you have worked so hard to get the formula, why do you think the infected people want to kill us?" Give up the potion produced by the Duke of Volynnia to buy yours?"

The land of Terra is so vast, even if the four dukes of the Fourth Army unite, they can at most cover the area around their sphere of influence with the medicines they produce. How much medicine can a Duke of Volinia sell?

But it's not that the International looks down on these old nobles, it's true that they just don't understand business, let alone a commercial city like the International, they can't even compare with the new nobles in Ursus.

Vision is the biggest problem that restricts them, and Hei's words are obviously in line with their worldview.

"Also, Your Excellency the Duke, I don't call you that because I'm afraid of you. You can look up from your window, which is the fifth window from the right on the third floor of the first building on the left."

The Duke of Novgorod subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction Hei said, and a beam of light immediately shone on his eyes, which was the light from the scope of a sniper crossbow or gun.

But just as he dodged subconsciously, another crossbow hit his window from another direction.

Although he didn't break through the special bulletproof glass, what this means is self-evident, that is, at least two assassins are staring at him, and his guards didn't notice it at all, so how can he not be afraid? , making him feel that even under heavy protection, he doesn't have the slightest sense of security.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Of course not, how could we threaten our partners."

The subtext is that if it is not a partner, then it can be threatened.

Novgorod's attack immediately understood what Hei's words meant, but he was not the only voice in the Hei headset.
