Silver Dragon: From Shell to God

Chapter 359: Negotiating terms.

The governments of the major empires and their emperors remotely control the area surrounding the Golden Waterway, including the Chaos Islands.

In fact, it is the ministers who represent the will of the major empires and have the ability to mobilize the troops left here by the empires.

Every minister has a term of office. During their term of office, they represent the interests of the empire and are the face of the empire. They are even more "honorable" than the kings of some kingdoms in the Chaos Islands.

In this age of the survival of the fittest, because the Age of Discovery has passed for so long, the moral principles of various countries have long since been completely abandoned, and those that have not been abandoned have turned to the dust of history.

What Alice offered was a huge amount of wealth and real shares.

Relatively speaking, there were three ministers that Arden met later.

In addition to the envoys from the Magic Machinery Empire who really invested a lot of money, although they offered attractive conditions, they also made harsh demands.

The other two are just empty promises.

Empires are ruthless and their glory is built on the deaths of countless creatures.

Not only did he have a sour face in front of Arden from the beginning, the envoy of the Demon Fish Empire, that damn fishman envoy even wanted to break in while Arden was sleeping, and was only sobered up after being beaten by the grumpy Arden.

This is the privilege of the empires, but it doesn't work in front of Arden.

The envoys from the Ryan Empire looked polite on the outside, but they were actually so arrogant inside that their noses were almost stuck in the sky.

The Demon Empire wants to make the Silver Dragon Kingdom, which is now rising to be one of the top five chaotic forces and is competing with the four major kingdoms, its own vassal.

Therefore, not only are there many discounts, but there are also various privileges.

If Arden purchases any equipment or technology produced in the Magic Empire in the future, there will be a discount.

It is naturally impossible to get such favorable conditions without any sacrifice. Arden needs to meet two points.

Otherwise, how could the Magic Machinery Empire give up its unwarranted benefits?

One is to join forces with the Demon Empire to completely swallow up the Seven-Colored Kingdom! This is what really makes Yaton excited.

After that, the Silver Dragon Kingdom will truly replace the Seven-Colored Kingdom! Unlike other empires, which just want to support a Seven-Colored King of their own, the Magical Machinery Empire really wants to kick the Finks Federation and the Seven-Colored Kingdom out of the Golden Waterway. They choose to replace them and take their share.

A force that is not even an empire, plus a slightly stronger regional hegemony-level kingdom. The Magical Machinery Empire can still handle it.

They wanted to truly sit together on an equal footing with the other four empires, so they set their sights on Arden. After all, if they wanted to recreate a chess piece, they didn't know how much energy it would take, so it would be better to find a ready-made one.

The Colorful Kingdom was torn apart. Each of the major empires had a prince who could represent the heir to the throne.

In this case, in order to prevent the empires from falling out at the negotiation table and eroding their interests, the Magical Machinery Empire decided to overturn the table and make a new chessboard.

The actual expansion cannot be changed by anyone’s so-called interests. The two are simply not on the same level.

However, after replacing the Seven-Colored Kingdom, the Silver Dragon Kingdom could not get all the benefits of the Seven-Colored Kingdom at this stage. Just like the Finks Federation also took a lot of the 1/4 share of the Chaos Islands belonging to the Seven-Colored Kingdom, after that, Arden and the Silver Dragon Kingdom each took 1/4 of the Golden Waterway and half of the tax revenue.

And the most important point is that although the envoy of the Magic Machinery Empire said so.

They are also willing to sign a contract with Arden and send out troops, but Arden also needs to send out his own troops. These requirements can only be achieved after successfully destroying the Colorful Kingdom.

If Arden and the Magical Machinery Empire's offensive goes smoothly and they can achieve this in essence, then the Magical Machinery Empire can handle the diplomatic and imperial threats.

Think of this.

Arden began to hesitate, and even two puffs of white air came out of his nostrils in annoyance.

Except for the Ryan Empire and the Demon Fish Empire, which he had kicked out, the conditions offered by the two empires were very tempting.

As long as Arden chooses to support the Hastings Empire, it can obtain a large amount of real wealth without even sending too many troops.

One is low risk, low return, the other is high risk, high return.

But. If Arden chooses this, he will inevitably be regarded as a younger brother of the two empires by other forces, and in the future, it will inevitably make the officials under his command form a substantive hierarchy with the officials of the empire.

You have to know that the Silver Dragon Kingdom is different from other kingdoms. It has a boss like Arden, and most creatures have dragon blood, which comes from the natural arrogance of dragon creatures.

Therefore, he does not have the same instinctive fear of the empire as other nobles of the kingdom.

If Arden chooses these two paths, then he may let his country, which he has built with great difficulty and is still thriving and steadily improving within a hundred years, break its "spiritual" backbone when it first rises, while the nobles and nobles as the middle class.

Apart from these two paths, Arden has one last path, which is to choose his original idea, or even take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters and bite off a piece of meat.

However, this would undoubtedly be a huge risk, as no empire would allow a food snatcher to exist. The only benefit would probably be independence and freedom.

When faced with a decision regarding the future fate of the Silver Dragon Kingdom, Arden couldn't help but start to struggle.

-------------------------------------

Modori year, summer.

The warm sea breeze carries the scorching sunshine, forming rolling heat waves that blow on the beach and the sea.

The Chaos Islands gather where all the ocean currents of the entire Northern Storm Ocean and the Two Coastal Seas converge.

It can be said that the four seasons are as warm as spring. Even if it gets cold, it is not that cold. The time in May is comparable to July and August in the mainland.

Many fruits and crops have begun to ripen at this time.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what choice you made?"

A holographic image separates them.

Constantine sat at his desk, wearing a suit and making a cup of coffee. He looked at Arden without blinking.

Yaden, who is still in the Cloud Palace, is enough to shock any existence of this era, even the legendary strong ones.

A super-large silver dragon with a body length of more than 30 meters, especially Arden, has a completely different appearance compared to ordinary silver dragons. It is enough to make different legends feel the pressure and pressure of the super-large ancient dragon over 36 meters.

"Minister Constantine, the conditions you proposed to me before are very tempting, and they really make me excited. Both the share and status are very important to me and my Silver Dragon Kingdom."

"But, I am not satisfied with one thing."

Listening to Arden's answer, Constantine couldn't help but soften his serious expression, but when he heard the last sentence, his face suddenly turned grim.

The old-fashioned man took a deep breath and spoke with a hint of bitterness in his tone.

"What's wrong with you? Your Majesty, your appetite is really too big. This is the maximum I can give you!"

After saying this, a hint of anger appeared on Constantine's face.

As an ambassador representing an empire, especially a high-level empire that can deploy military power around the world.

He rarely feels that he is at a disadvantage, and usually he is the only one who is being unreasonable.

I didn't expect that when I offered my benefits sincerely for once, I would be shocked by the way others took advantage of me.
