This game is too real.

Chapter 425 Promise and vassalization of troops
Not long after Fang Chang lived up to expectations and helped the alliance get a huge investment from the enterprise.

Chu Guang, who took the Iron Heart to inspect the work in Fallen Leaf City, finally met the mission from the Honey Badger Kingdom.

obviously.

They who were displaced in the flames of war didn't know that the Iron Heart had been captured by the Alliance, and their understanding of the Alliance was still a few months ago.

Therefore, when they saw the majestic airship appearing in the sky, the guards panicked and almost made a joke again.

But after seeing the airship, some confusion in Summer's heart finally had a vague answer.

This airship was once the vehicle of General McClellan.

There were rumors that the king of the Falcon Kingdom betrothed a member of the royal family to the general of the legion.

I just didn't expect that the member of the royal family turned out to be the king's concubine...

The airship descended slowly.

Chu Guang simply asked Ma Ban about the situation of the mission in the communication channel, and then he readily invited the prince and princess who came from afar to board his airship.

Including Princess Teresa of the Falcon Kingdom, Chu Guang also invited her up.

Two weeks have passed since she was sent to work in a refugee camp.

He was a little curious, how is the transformation of the princess...

……

The bridge of the airship.

Summer, who just took the elevator to board the airship, was still a little uncomfortable. Maybe he had never been to such a high place before, and his face turned slightly pale.

But after all, he was someone who had seen the world, this slightly immature young man still calmly and slightly bowed in salute.

"Hello, Dear Manager, I am the Acting King of the Honey Badger Kingdom, Summer Honey Badger. Next to me is the former king's youngest daughter and my own sister, Aphne Honey Badger."

"Hello, Mr. Manager, you can call me Aphne, or Nini." The little girl with slightly curly hair also saluted and said in a clear and sweet voice.

Hearing the word honey badger, Chu Guang couldn't help thinking of Brother Pingtou's emoji.

However, the two of them in front of them looked very weak, and no matter how they looked at them, they didn't fit well with the kind of creatures who were "either fighting or on the way to fight".

"Chu Guang, the manager of the alliance."

After briefly introducing himself, Chu Guang signaled Teresa with his eyes that there is no need to be polite, and then looked at the little prince and princess in front of him with great interest.

Although the age of the two can't be seen, it doesn't feel that they are very old.

It's really not easy to run across the entire theater and get here from the No. 3 oasis.

Just when he was about to say something, Aphne blinked suddenly, and said crisply.

"You are completely different from the Mr. Manager in the painting."

"Painting?" Chu Guang raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Yeah!" Aphne nodded, holding a picture album in her arms, "There are stories about you drawn on it."

As soon as Summer saw the picture book, he immediately wanted to stop it with an embarrassing expression.

However, Aphne had already handed out the album in her hand, and held up her skirt as a court salute.

"I bought this album from the market, I hope you don't blame us."

"Haha, how come."

Chu Guang smiled heartily, and motioned to Lu Bei, captain of the guards, to bring the album to him.

Someone actually drew himself into a caricature?

interesting.

Chu Guang opened the picture album, wanting to see what the desert residents imagined themselves to be like.

However, as soon as he turned to the first page, he almost turned his nose by the distorted painting style.

Gan!
Which painter did it!
Draw me so ugly!
Although he expected that the information would be distorted due to the distance of transmission, he did not expect to give him a facelift directly.

By the way, when did he grow such a long beard?
And power armor doesn't have a helmet, who would take off the helmet to fight!
What the hell are the other 4 sons?

Chu Guang's first reaction must be a rumor made by some player.

Immediately afterwards, it was determined that the first suspect was a mosquito, and the second suspect was a tail.

But regardless of the style of painting, the content is quite interesting, with a "superhero" flavor.

Just as Chu Guang tried to accept the outrageous style of painting and continued to flip back with great interest, Summer nervously glanced at his sister next to him, communicating silently with his eyes and lips.

'Are you crazy, why did you give him that album? '

'Calm down, bro, you're too nervous.Think about it carefully, he will always know from others, why don't we take the initiative to clarify the misunderstanding. '

Looking at the soft eyes, Summer took a deep breath and calmed down.

He admitted that the visual impact of the airship was too strong, which really made him a little nervous.

'Okay... But I was careless, but I didn't consider that the intelligence deviation would be so large.The manager of the alliance is so young, even if he has children, he probably hasn't been born for long...'

'It's okay,' Aphne said with a wink and lips, 'I don't mind whatever you arrange. '

Summer looked at his sister in astonishment.

There was no doubt in that gaze that she was ready to sacrifice herself.

Slowly closing his eyes, he clenched his fists and looked away reluctantly.

Letting the manager's son marry Aphne is the best choice.

If the two were of the same age, when the child of the two reached adulthood, he would only be 50 or [-] years old. Even if he abdicated the throne, he could still be the Prince Regent and keep the power in the hands of the Honey Badger family.

And by that time, the aging managers will be in their twilight years, and the alliance will enter a chaotic period of power transfer, and it is bound to have no time to take care of the status of vassals.

Regardless of whether the alliance eventually falls apart or transitions smoothly, the honey badger royal family can take the initiative to advance and retreat.

However, what Summer didn't expect was that this adult was so young...

It was never a good idea to marry Aphne to the manager of the Alliance, or to his son who might just be born.

An ambitious, energetic leader who is in the prime of his life, even if he outlives him, he has no confidence to be this guy's opponent.

A person who can withstand the impact of the refugee tide in the chaos, unite those refugees who are frightened by the looters, and even bring them back to fight back...

This kind of person's method is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface!Behind that old father's smile, there must be a cruelty and determination hidden by ordinary people.

He even couldn't help but start to suspect that his little thoughts might have been seen through long ago.

That's why the manager invited him to this airship, and the purpose was to show him the powerful military power of the alliance and tell him that it was useless to play tricks.

Is this an ultimatum?
How to do?
Thoughts in Summer's mind turned quickly, trying to keep himself calm, thinking about how to break the situation.

At this moment, the manager of the alliance finally finished flipping through the album in his hand, and handed it to the captain of the guard with a smile.

"The paintings in this album are really outrageous. I didn't even know I had four sons."

Summer nodded apologetically.

"It was our negligence that we failed to clarify the rumors... After returning to the oasis, I will issue an order to remove these albums from the market."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"That's not necessary, just let them draw. If there is a new work, remember to send me a copy."

Chu Guang nodded to Lu Bei, signaling him to return the album to Princess Afni.

Then, Chu Guang looked at the handsome prince and said in a joking tone.

"You also found out, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. I can't introduce your sister to someone who doesn't exist. And even if I have a child, I'm afraid I won't arrange a partner for him. He should learn to pursue it by himself. girl."

Summer froze for a moment, not understanding what the manager meant.

Or rather, I didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Is this implying to himself that the Alliance doesn't need a vassal of a kingdom that doesn't exist?
Afni glanced at her brother and sighed softly in her heart, knowing that he probably got into a dead end again.

His second elder brother has been smart since he was a child, and his mind is far more careful than his peers. Presumably, it is precisely because of this that his father passed on the throne to him.

However, thinking too much is both his advantage and his disadvantage.

In front of him are not powerful officials in the court, nor the kings of other kingdoms, but the leader who has just defeated the elite of the legion on the frontal battlefield.

When an elephant faces an ant, it doesn't show off its muscles, let alone hint at anything.

Its very existence speaks for itself.

If that grown-up wanted something, he didn't have to hint to them at all.

Or just say it straight up.

Either reach for it.

In order to buy her brother some time to think, and to keep the meeting from being cold, she blinked and took the conversation from him.

"But as your son, shouldn't you think more about the alliance?"

This question is quite interesting.

Although Chu Guang doesn't have much memory about his parents, he only remembers the grandfather who brought him up, but he has thought about how he will educate his children when he becomes a father.

Looking at the innocent Afni, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Yes, the manager's son should do this, and if I had it, I would ask him to do it, but he can do it in other ways."

"for example?"

"Such as becoming a scientist, such as becoming a teacher, or a soldier, or an engineer... Whether it is going to a research institute, hospital, school, factory, construction site, farmland or the army, he can always find what he likes in so many professions, And others just need it.”

There was a hint of surprise, or confusion, on Aphne's face.

"Is this enough?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"It's enough. The alliance in front of you is made up of these people. As a father, I think it's enough for him to live a meaningful life and not waste his time. As for the rest, it's up to him."

Aphne was silent for a while, perhaps thinking of her childhood, and sighed softly.

"Then you must be a good father."

Chu Guang laughed.

"you flatter me."

Aphne continued to ask curiously.

"Then do you have a wife?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe after this battle is over."

Chu Guang made a joke.

He knew what the subordinates beside him were thinking.

Including the old Luka who is not here, and Lu Bei next to him who hasn't even grown his hair yet, everyone hopes that he will hurry up to pass on the family line and find a young master for the alliance.

But just because they still have such thoughts, this matter is out of date.

The alliance is the alliance of all people, not just a slogan. After two centuries of sinking, they must realize that what they need is never a savior.

They are.

As a young man from a civilized society who has received nine years of compulsory education, Chu Guang never thought about being an emperor, although he did play Sigma tricks with his players.

It may be a bit idealistic to say so, but after all, he led everyone to build the house bit by bit, so he still has some feelings.

He only hopes that he can live a peaceful life in his later years, and it is enough that his house does not become a broken house that can be knocked down by others.

There are too many people's feelings here, and he sees everything that happens here.

Aphne nodded thoughtfully.

She couldn't tell what those eyes were thinking, but the blueprint he drew in abstract language was indeed very aspirational.

Although this is not the teaching of the spirit of the sand sea.

But the old advice told her that an elephant would not lie to an ant.

If he really thought so, he shouldn't embarrass the people living in that land.

The coalition is made up of everyone who lives there.

Just when Summer, who was thinking hard, finally came up with an idea and planned to take over the topic, something unexpected happened.

The little princess of the Honey Badger Kingdom suddenly raised her skirt slightly and knelt on the ground on one knee.

"Then can I?"

Expressions of surprise, astonishment, bewilderment, and surprise appeared on different faces.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly burned...

……

That's supposed to be a marriage proposal, right?

Anyway, the law of the alliance only stipulates the age of marriage, and it does not stipulate who must propose to whom.

If possible, Lu Bei really hoped that the manager would agree.

Anyone is fine.

It doesn't matter if you are a foreigner.

Even if he—well, unfortunately he's a man, there's no point in worrying.

Unfortunately, the manager did not accept the marriage proposal of the foreign princess.

However, the prince of the Honey Badger Kingdom still got the promise he wanted.

"...I can't reveal the battle plan to you, but the alliance will send troops to attack the Legion and his servants."

"Whether it is oasis 3 or oasis 2, the residents will be finally liberated. We will not force them to renounce their beliefs, but we will fulfill the obligations of the sanctuary, open a school there, and teach them the laws of science. , teach them to reclaim farmland, even the desert spirits must not interfere."

Summer said quickly.

"The honey badger royal family will cooperate with your work."

Chu Guang nodded.

He is not selfless, any help has a price, and emphasizing the interests of his own people is the basis of unity, but he will choose a relatively mild method to collect rewards.

In the long run, education is the best way to eliminate ignorance.

When Luoxia Province has a basis for reform, the people there will naturally follow the trend of history.

As for where the honey badger royal family plans to go at that time, that is their own business.

But it's too early to tell.

When that day really comes, maybe they themselves begged to join the alliance.

After all, it is not only the residents in the desert who need to go to school, but also the royal family.

The ideological trend brought by the players from that world will have a little influence on them.

After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Afni with a disappointed expression.

"If you really yearn for the world I've described, you can go and see more in the cities of the alliance these days. I'll arrange a guide for you."

He would not narcissistically think that this little girl fell in love with him at first sight, so there was no embarrassment at all.

What was said on that occasion, whether it was taught by her brother or a decision she made on her own, had no reference value.

If it is to save the homeland that was burned by the flames of war, then she should use other methods.

After listening to what Chu Guang said, Afni shook her head slightly, looked at him and said seriously.

"I don't need a guide. If possible, can you allow me to follow you? I want to be your student."

student?

Chu Guang smiled, always feeling a little nostalgic for this word.

After all, he was sent here involuntarily just a few years after graduation.

"It's a pity that I don't teach, and I don't have time to teach you anything, but before you go back to the desert, if you want to find a job to pass the time, you can help me sort out the books that I haven't had time to classify."

"There are a lot of interesting books there, from the distant era of prosperity, which may give you a little inspiration for the work you want to do in the future."

Before that, he recovered a lot of books from Yongshi, and piled them up in the warehouse of Dawn City.

Currently the Merchant Union is in charge of sorting out, but there are not many manpower available.

With the ignition of the fusion reactor and the arrival of corporate assistance equipment, the alliance is full of vacancies, especially those with the ability to read and write.

Aphne nodded meekly.

"I will complete the task you gave me."

Chu Guang nodded approvingly and gave her an encouraging look.

Maybe his own plan will go smoother than he imagined.

After all, only 200 years have passed since the era of prosperity, and everything is not too late.
