Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 205 Welcoming the "Guests"

"I can't rule out this possibility. What's the relationship between the provinces of Kalkanni and Magrath? Would Duke Drum Magrath use the people of Kalkanni as pawns?"

Uther was silent for a moment. He also felt that the idea proposed by Hellion was possible. Although Duke Drum Magrath had admitted his mistake, it was absolutely impossible to say that he had no grudges in his heart.

Therefore, if you don't cause trouble yourself, but let others do it, and use others as a knife, there is a great possibility that you will end up doing it.

“To say the relationship is good, it’s not that great. Although we are neighboring provinces, we are not connected by land and there are mountain roads blocking the way, so communication is not frequent.

If we have to say, the provinces of Magrath and Calcaneni are actually commercial competitors. The two provinces are adjacent to each other and both have developed maritime trade, so competition between them is inevitable.

The land trade between the provinces of Magras and Calcaneni all passed through the province of Brianni, and the trade routes of the province of Brianni have always been the target of competition between the two sides.

The province of Brienni isn't on the coast, but for the provinces of Magrath and Calcaneni, it's a necessary route to the interior of the empire. Taking a detour would nearly double the time, so no one wants to back out."

Hellion briefly talked about the various disputes between the "Magras Province" and the "Carkanni Province". In simple terms, apart from joining forces politically, the two sides are basically in a competitive state in other aspects.

For the sake of money, neither side would give in. From this perspective, the probability that Dram Magrath would deliberately trick the "Carkanni Province" and let them cause trouble for "Wangbo Port" would suddenly increase.

"This Duke of Durham is so dishonest."

Uther cursed, thinking that they had not hit him lightly before. They should really teach this Drum Magrath a more profound lesson so that he would never dare to have any bad thoughts about "Wangbo Port" again.

But that's just a thought. Things have developed to this point now. We can't just pull the Magras people out and beat them up again.

What they have to do now is to "fight the enemy with soldiers and block the water with earth", and they must not let those who want to see "Wangbo Port" in trouble get what they want.

Of course, if we can find solid evidence, we can still find a way to make the people of Magrath Province cut some more flesh.

"What kind of trouble is this? I think this is quite good. We are in need of people in Wangbo Port. With Drum Magrath promoting us, we will have a steady stream of people coming to us. It would be best if Kalkanni Province is just the first one, and it would be best if there is a steady stream of people coming in later."

Hellion's opinion was obviously different from Uther's. He felt that the affairs of the "Kalkanni Province" should not be considered a trouble, but an opportunity, just like the previous "Magras Province". If it were not for the stubborn "Magras Province" that kept sending warmth, "Wangbo Port" would not have developed so quickly.

"If you say so, then there's nothing wrong with it."

Uther couldn't help but laugh. Danger always comes with opportunity. Being targeted by the "Kalkanni Province" could indeed be a new opportunity, a chance for "Wangbo Port" to take off again.

"Don't worry. The strength of Kalkanni Province is not much stronger than that of Magras Province. They are actually here to deliver people and goods to us. If they dare to come, they will never leave. Wangbo Port is not a place where you can come and go as you please."

Hellion’s main character is self-confidence, as if he doesn’t take the people of “Kalkanni Province” seriously at all.

In fact, saying that the comprehensive strength of the "Carcanni Province" is similar to that of the "Magras Province" is an exaggeration.

In fact, the "Magras Province" is far stronger than the "Carcanni Province". Whether it is maritime trade or the influence on the "Brienni Province", the "Magras Province" has the upper hand.

Therefore, even the "Magras Province" admitted defeat to their "Wangbo Port", so why do you, the "Carkanni Province", think you can do it?
This is also what Hai Lien feels most puzzled about, so he thinks that there must be someone behind this matter.

That bad guy, Drum Magrath, must have concealed a lot of things from the people of the "Carkanni Province", and he caused those people of the "Carkanni Province" to make wrong judgments.

Otherwise, those guys would have no reason to do this. The people of the "Carkanni Province" are not fools, and they can still tell who is strong and who is weak.

"Where are they?"

After figuring out the whole story, Hellion immediately asked for a fight. Since it was confirmed that the people from the "Kalkanni Province" were coming for their "Wangbo Port", there was no need to be polite. He should take them down first.

"They should be here soon. When the news came back, they had already started preparing to leave. I don't think it will take long, at most ten days or half a month."

Uther replied that the news came from the "Magras Province" and that "Wangbo Port" had left some intelligence personnel in the "Magras Province" who were specifically responsible for finding out the news.

If something happens, they can directly use the "skeleton phone" to contact, but there is no hope for them to infiltrate the top level. At most, they can only find out some widely circulated news.

In fact, the "Carkanni Province" had already made almost all the preparations for this incident. The news had spread, and the spies who were gathering intelligence learned about it.

If there were no "Skeleton Phone", by the time they ran back to deliver the message, the people from the "Carkanni Province" would probably have already reached their doorstep.

Therefore, Werner's invention of the "skull phone" is really great and directly solves many troublesome problems.
This kind of pure magic item can be used even by people who cannot use magic, because the magic item contains magic power and only requires the user to activate it.

Of course, the "Skeleton Phone" needs to be returned to "recharge" from time to time. The magic power is not always there, and there will always be a day when it runs out.

But it doesn't mean that the "Skull Phone" will become useless after the magic power is used up. As a product of "Vampire Magic", this prop can also be activated by pouring blood, and you can even directly sacrifice your own vitality to use it.

These usage conditions are actually quite consistent with the origin of this "Skull Phone". An evil magical product must have an evil way of use. Simply relying on magic power is too weak!

"Understood. We'll be ready anytime."

Hellion made a guarantee, which made Uther rest assured that the "Province of Kalkanni" would not be a group of chickens and dogs.

"Okay, I'm relieved that you're back."

Uther smiled and nodded. Apart from anything else, whether it was the daily "suppression of bandits" work or the commander-in-chief of several major battles, Hellion did a good job. He was indeed worthy of being the Minister of the Army of "Wangbo Port" and could be called the victorious general of "Wangbo Port".

Although the battles led by Hellion were mostly fought with the strong against the weak, bullying the weak small colonies, it was not something that ordinary people could do to fight with the strong against the weak and strictly control the losses.

Hellion left the Governor's Mansion and returned to his office building, the War Department in Wangbo Port, not far from the Governor's Mansion. "I'll have to talk to Drake about this."

After returning to the Army Department, Hellion called his generals and asked them to brainstorm for the next battle.

In fact, for them in "Wangbo Port", the next battle is really a challenge, because the Lizardmen are all in "Obsidian City" and "Hellrank City", and the Undead Army has also stayed in "Obsidian City" as supervisors. This battle can probably only be won by themselves.

Well, there are still some guests, the high elves, who haven't left yet. Although it's not nice to ask guests to help fight, the high elves can't be called guests either. That would be a bit too formal. They are all family.

"Wangbo Port" and "Silver Leaf Port" are both cities under the command of Lord Karen, so they should naturally help each other. Besides, the high elves took action when fighting the lizardmen, so there is no reason not to take action when fighting humans. After all, they still have to hope that both lizardmen and humans will help them when fighting the high elves in the future.

Apart from anything else, the fertility rates of humans and lizardmen are quite high, at least much higher than those of the high elves. If the high elves want to fight back to Iseng, they will definitely have to rely on their human and lizardmen friends. They must be very clear about this.

"Want me to go get Drake?"

Motriou said that the office of the Ministry of the Navy was right next to their Ministry of the Army, and there were very few people there, only Drake and his people. Drake and his people were not necessarily in the Ministry of the Navy at ordinary times, and were more likely to be on "Shiyan Island".

"No, I'm going to talk to Okanina first."

Hellion waved his hand. He planned to go find Okanina first to finalize the matter of the high elves, and then go find Drake.

There is no doubt that Drake's navy will cooperate with their actions, but Okanina must pay more attention to it and make sure no accidents happen. She must also take the feelings of the high elves into consideration and express her respect for them.

"The high elves are very proud."

Motrio summed it up succinctly.

"Haha, that's not wrong."

Hellion smiled. The high elves were indeed a bit concerned about their reputation, but that was not a bad thing. As long as you gave them enough respect, they would also be nice to you. The key was mutual respect.

If others want respect, then just give them respect. There is no need to be difficult with them. The premise of helping each other is to seek common ground while reserving differences.

Soon, Hellion arrived at the high elves' residential area. The situation here was obviously much quieter than at the peak period. Many high elves had already moved to "Silver Leaf Port". However, as the first stop for settling in the New World, the high elves still generally had some feelings for "Wangbo Port".

Even though living in "Wangbo Port" for a period of time is only a very short period in their lives, the meaning of it is completely different and worth remembering.

They left their homes and fled to the New World, where they were protected by the "Blood King" and became neighbors with the humans of "Wangbo Port". The selflessness and enthusiasm of the people of "Wangbo Port" helped them a lot, allowing them to overcome the tension and confusion when they first arrived in a foreign land.

The people of "Wangbo Port" selflessly shared with them their experiences of living in the "New World", the problems they encountered in building their homes and how to solve them, which was truly very touching.

Although no love stories emerged during this period, many humans and high elves successfully established friendships.

how to say?

Although it was somewhat different from the original idea, the final result was a happy ending for everyone. If things had unfolded normally, the friendship between "Wangbo Port" and "Yinye Port" would have continued at least until the current generation of people in "Wangbo Port" died.

The friendship between the long-lived and short-lived species is like this. If they don't stay together often, it is unlikely that it can be passed down for several generations.

However, things are a little different now. The people in "Wangbo Port" have the possibility of becoming vampires. In this way, there will naturally be no problem of longevity or short life.

As long as the friendship does not deteriorate, we can be friends for life.

"Helion? You're back. How come you have time to come to our place?"

Helion found Okanina. After seeing Helion, Okanina was a little surprised. She obviously didn't know that the "guest" from the "Carkanni Province" was about to arrive.

"I'm here to ask for help."

Hellion spoke with a smile. Along the way, he saw many high elf soldiers. Those soldiers were describing the last war with their family and friends. Their emotions were mostly positive and uplifting, and no one complained about why they had to help the Lizardmen.

It is obvious that the high elves have also put themselves in the right position and adapted to their current life under the "Blood King".

Of course, the main reason was that the High Elves did not suffer much damage in the battle, and the war was won smoothly. They won, and it was a big victory, so naturally everyone would be happy.

If the result was a loss, or a tragic victory, Hellion believed that the current situation was definitely not like this.

This is also human nature. In short, with the good cooperation last time, Hellion is very confident about joining forces with the high elves again.

"What's the deal?"

Okanina asked curiously.

"Someone is going to invade Wangbo Port. I hope to get the help of the high elves to resist the foreign enemies."

Hellion explained the whole cause and effect seriously, without hiding anything, even explaining that it might be Drum Magrath who was behind it. His main point was honesty.

"I see. Of course, that's fine. Wangbo Port is also the second home of the Silverleaf Port High Elves. We will of course stand and fight alongside our human brothers and sisters in Wangbo Port."

After hearing what Hellion said, Okanina agreed without any hesitation and even elevated the relationship between the two parties, saying that "Wangbo Port" was a second home.
