Chapter 440: The Unexpected Gain of Misunderstanding
In fact, this visit to Ulysses was not done casually. His most threatening assassination forces were disintegrated, and Federic was dead in the Forest of Trial; most of the undead army, as a temporary ally, disappeared, and the rest were all cast to Angus; the army besieging the capital was the ultimate mistake, and more than half of them were Angus; now he was defeated shortly after the easy solution, not to mention that Mia's decisive appearance made Lu Chen no longer have any hesitation.
Moreover, in order to achieve better results, knowing that Ulysses had no more choices, Lu Chen gave him this additional problem with self-suggestion. With a choice without any choice, he deepened his inner acceptance of failure, so that the subsequent conversation could go smoothly.
At this time, a minute had passed since Lu Chen's questioning, and slight beads of sweat appeared on Ulysses' forehead, which could be seen that his heart was struggling.
Then, after a while, Ulysses began to tell the story: "In fact, fighting for the throne is not my original intention. In addition to getting something back for the dead father, half of it was for Mia... After her accident, I personally went to the Elf Kingdom for help, but what I got was to drive it away. If I hadn't officially reported my identity first, I might even be shot and killed by them in the forest... So, after I acquired the Kingdom, I would take the army and go to 'seek help' again!"
Whether Ulysses was talking to himself or talking to himself, regardless of what his original intention was, or whether he was deliberately deceiving himself to play the emotional card, these words all indicate that he had an answer; Lu Chen knew very well. What was left was a step that could make him, the prince, step down with a decent step.
"But the second point is obviously no longer important... Haha. If Mia knew that I had thought about attacking the Elf Kingdom, it would really make you hear me scream every day as you wish." Ulysses, who mocked himself, encouraged himself with the story, asked as if he had made a decision: "Tell me, what conditions did Dwyen give."
Sure enough, everything was better than expected. Ulysses found the steps himself, just looking at his eyes. Lu Chen found that the prince who did not answer directly seemed to be more difficult than he thought. The successive setbacks did not completely defeat his mind, and he planned to exchange for something with the only bargaining chips. Of course, it was more likely that he was going to be a father, so he instinctively wanted to consider the child.
"I said that it was not for a transaction, and Your Majesty had no conditions. He just hopes you can live a stable life in southern Xinjiang." Lu Chen said Dwayne's explanation without concealing it.
"It's that simple? I did this, and he just wanted me to leave for southern Xinjiang? What should Angus do? Are you here to chat with me?" Ulysses looked incredible, because what he was thinking in his mind was that Dwyne hoped that he would consume Angus's vitality.
Lu Chen could roughly understand his psychology, but he wouldn't believe that there would be such a cheap thing. But the fact is so incredible. Not only did Dwyne want to give him a way out. After saving Mia, his hatred for him was also reduced by half, not to mention that Evelyn once said that Ulysses did not intend to take the lives of them.
"Don't doubt that although the continuous battles with the undead and mercenaries caused heavy losses to Clarence, he is mobilizing stronger power. Even if I don't intervene, it's only a matter of time before I resolve the crisis in the royal city, and I don't need your help. And I'm really here to chat with you casually. If you insist on adding a reason, just to see what the person who wants to kill me looks like." Anyway, it's still the chat stage, and Lu Chen said casually, just shocking Ulysses who heard him.
"Slay you and die? When did I give such an order? Could it be Evelyn's provocation... No, it was Federic, right? He attacked you? But how could you still..." Ulysses's mind was very fast, but while thinking about the problem, he wrapped himself into another more terrifying vortex, and finally understood the reason why Delake told him not to do it.
"Uh~ this is my secret, I won't tell you." Lu Chen didn't expect it to turn out like this, so he could only sigh in his heart, "The disaster comes from his mouth", and then quickly changed the topic with a little embarrassment: "I plan to solve Angus before the New Year, but his power is still very strong. After the failure, he will most likely escape back to his own territory. As of now, it is impossible to eradicate him in a short period of time."
"That's true, and the Northern Empire will never see the opportunity of civil turmoil in our country. At that time, Clarence, who was in the army, will definitely go to the frontier first. The task of dealing with Angus will only fall on your good friend Parn. I think you should already know his identity as the third prince? The Marshal's Mansion supports Clarence, so what you really want to talk to me should be to let me help the weak little Parn, right?" Seeing Lu Chen avoiding, Ulysses was also very tactful and stopped mentioning Federic's affairs, and followed the topic he was more interested in.
Although he was protected by Federic since childhood and it was impossible to have no feelings for him, the person he was loyal to was his father, not himself, and did not obey orders and acted without authorization, which provoked Lu Chen, a terrifying person who could not see the depth, was that the friendship between master and servant was far from reaching a certain level. Ulysses naturally did not want to turn against him and Lu Chen, especially now that Mia was saved, he was at an absolute disadvantage.
This is a big misunderstanding. My purpose is indeed to chat. Then, by analyzing the current situation, I forced Ulysses to leave this place of right and wrong and complete the instructions of Drak and Dwyne to repay their long-term care. But after hearing the situation analysis of the other party, Lu Chen was moved and no longer emphasized his original intention.
"I heard Evelyn say that you want to praise Parn's plan, and this idea is really good. You have already lost your mistake now. If you continue this plan, you will not say whether you will have a chance to rise again in the future, at least you will not be too down. How about it, should you support Parn?" In contrast, Parn's power was still a little smaller after all, and Lu Chen simply deliberately persuaded Ulysses; anyway, there was no appropriate reason and he could not fully believe it.
"Not really, this time the plan was so perfect, but it failed in the end. I don't think there is still a chance to beat you." Ulysses deliberately emphasized the word "you", then looked at Lu Chen with a deep look, and continued: "There are four legions available in Dongcheng. Except for my private soldiers, all the other three will be given to Parn... Let their brothers fight more excitingly, which can be regarded as avenging my father. I just ran far away with the beauty in my arms, and I'll see a scene of killing each other."
Ulysses not only made a choice, but also gave three legions as tickets for plays. The matter of Dongcheng was basically solved. The next thing depends on how Delake arranged it; Lu Chen, who achieved the goal and obtained unexpected gains, was not interested in living in the same room with an unfriendly man. After a few polite words, he opened the door of the secret room and went out. (To be continued...)
