Chapter 424: Commitment to Send Troops and Vassalage

Shortly after Fang Chang helped the Alliance to attract a huge investment from the enterprise as expected.

Chu Guang, who was on the Iron Heart to Luoye City for inspection, finally met the delegation from the Honey Badger Kingdom.

Obviously.

They were wandering in the war and did not know that the Iron Heart had been seized by the Alliance. Their understanding of the Alliance was still a few months ago.

Therefore, when they saw the majestic airship appear in the sky, the guards were so panicked that they almost made a joke again.

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

This airship was once General McLen's car.

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

But unexpectedly, the royal member turned out to be the king's princess...

The airship slowly descended.

Chu Guang briefly asked Ma Ban about the situation of the delegation in the communication channel, and then readily invited the princes and princesses who came from afar to board his airship.

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

Two weeks have passed since she was put in the refugee camp to work.

He was a little curious about how the princess's wife was transformed...

...

The bridge of the airship.

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

However, after all, he was a man who had seen the world, and this slightly immature boy still bowed calmly and saluted.

"Hello, Mr. Administrator. I am Summer Honey Badger, the acting king of the Honey Badger Kingdom. The one next to me is the late king's youngest daughter, and also my biological sister, Avni Honey Badger."

"Hello, Mr. Administrator. You can call me Avni, or Nini." The curly-haired girl beside him also saluted and said in a clear and pleasant voice.

When Chu Guang heard the word Honey Badger, he couldn't help but think of the emoticon pack of the flat-headed brother.

However, the two in front of him looked so weak that they didn't look like the creatures that were either fighting or on the way to fight.

"Chu Guang, the administrator of the alliance."

After introducing himself in a concise manner, Chu Guang signaled Theresa with his eyes that there was no need to be polite, and then looked at the little prince and princess in front of him with interest.

Although it was impossible to tell their ages, they didn't seem to be very old.

It was really not easy to run from Oasis No. 3 to here across the entire war zone.

Just when he was about to say something, Avni suddenly blinked and spoke crisply.

"You are completely different from the manager in the painting."

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

"Yeah!" Avni nodded and held up a picture album in her arms, "It contains your story."

As soon as Sam saw the picture album, he was embarrassed and wanted to stop it.

However, Avni had already handed the picture album in her hand over and lifted her skirt to perform a court salute.

"This picture album was bought from the market. I hope you don't blame us."

"Haha, how could it be."

Chu Guang smiled heartily and motioned to the captain of the guard, Lu Bei, to give him the picture album.

Someone actually drew himself into a cartoon?

Interesting.

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

However, as soon as he turned to the first page, he almost got angry at the distorted painting style.

Damn!

Which artist did this?

He made me look so ugly!

Although he expected that information would be distorted due to the long transmission distance, he didn't expect that he would be given a facelift.

When did he grow such a long beard?

And the power armor doesn't have a helmet? Who would take off the helmet to fight?

And what about the four sons?

Chu Guang's first reaction was that it was definitely a rumor made by a player.

Then he locked the first suspect to be Mosquito and the second suspect to be Tail.

But putting aside the painting style, the content is quite interesting, with a "superhero" flavor.

Just as Chu Guang tried to accept the outrageous painting style and continued to turn the pages with interest, Summer glanced at her sister next to her nervously, communicating silently with her eyes and lip shape.

'Are you crazy? Why did you give him that album?'

'Calm down, brother, you are too nervous. Think about it carefully. He will know it from others. Why don't we take the initiative to clarify the misunderstanding?'

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

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

'Okay... But I was careless. I didn't consider that the intelligence deviation would be so large. The manager of the alliance is so young. Even if there are children, they are probably not born for a long time...'

'It doesn't matter,' Avni blinked and said with her lips, 'No matter what arrangements you make, I don't mind.'

Summer looked at her sister in astonishment.

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

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

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

If the two were of similar age, he would only be in his 40s or 50s when their children came of age. Even if he abdicated the throne, he could still be a regent prince and keep the power in the hands of the Honey Badger family.

By that time, the aging manager would be in his twilight years, and the alliance would enter a chaotic period of power transfer, and would inevitably have no time to take care of the situation of the vassal.

Whether the alliance eventually fell apart or transitioned smoothly, the Honey Badger royal family would be able to take the initiative to advance and retreat.

However, what Summer did not expect was that this adult was so young...

Whether it was marrying Avni to the manager of the alliance or to his son who might have just been born, it was definitely not a good idea.

An ambitious, energetic, and middle-aged leader, even if he lived longer than him, he had no confidence that he could be a match for this guy.

A person who could withstand the impact of the refugee tide in the chaos, unite the refugees who were frightened by the looters, and even lead them back to fight...

The means of this kind of person are by no means as simple as they seem! Behind that fatherly smile, there must be a cruelty and decisiveness that ordinary people cannot see.

He even began 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 be clever.

Is this an ultimatum?

What to do?

Summer's mind was turning quickly, trying to keep himself calm and 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 beside him with a smile.

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

Summer nodded with deep apology.

"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. Let them paint. If they come up with new works, remember to send me a copy."

Chu Guang nodded to Lu Bei, indicating that he should return the album to Princess Avni.

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

"You have also discovered that I am 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 am afraid I won't arrange a partner for him. He should learn to pursue girls on his own."

Summer was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what the manager meant.

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

Is this hinting to himself that the alliance does not need a vassal of a non-existent kingdom?

Avni glanced at her brother and sighed softly in her heart, knowing that he was probably stuck in a dead end again.

His second brother was smart since he was a child, and his mind was much more meticulous than his peers. I think that's why his father passed the throne to him.

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

In front of him was not a powerful official in the palace, nor was he the king of another kingdom, but a leader who had just defeated the elite of the legion on the front battlefield.

When facing an ant, an elephant would not show off its muscles, let alone hint at anything.

Its existence itself says it all.

If that adult wanted something, he didn't need to hint at them at all.

Either say it directly.

Or reach out and take it.

In order to buy her brother some time to think, and to make the meeting not awkward, she blinked and took over the conversation from him.

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

This question is quite interesting.

Although Chu Guang didn't have many memories of his parents, he only remembered his grandfather who raised him, but he did think about how he would educate his children after becoming a father.

Looking at Avni with an innocent face, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Yes, the son of a manager should do this. If I had one, I would ask him to do so, but he can do it in other ways."

"For example?"

"For example, become a scientist, a teacher, a soldier, or an engineer... Whether he goes to a research institute, a hospital, a school, a factory, a construction site, a farmland or the army, he can always find one that he likes and that others need."

Avni's face showed a hint of surprise, or confusion.

"Is this enough?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"That'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 depends on him."

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

"Then you must be a good father."

Chu Guang laughed.

"Thank you."

Avni continued to ask curiously.

"Do you have a wife?"

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

Chu Guang made a joke.

He knew what the subordinates next to him were thinking.

Including old Luca who was not here, including Lu Bei next to him who hadn't even grown his hair yet, everyone was eager for him to quickly find someone to carry on the family line and find a little master for the alliance.

But precisely because they still had such thoughts, this matter was inappropriate.

The alliance is everyone's alliance, not just a slogan. After sinking for two centuries, they must realize that they never need a savior.

They themselves are.

As a young man from a civilized society who has received nine years of compulsory education, Chu Guang has never thought of becoming an emperor, although he has played Sigma's jokes with his players.

This may be a bit idealistic, but after all, he built the house bit by bit with everyone, and he still has some feelings for it.

He only hopes to live a peaceful life in his later years, and his house will not become a broken house that will fall down if someone kicks it.

This place carries the feelings of too many people, and he sees everything that happens here.

Avni nodded thoughtfully.

She couldn't see what those eyes were thinking, but the blueprint he described in abstract language was indeed very exciting.

Although this was not the teaching of the Spirit of the Sea of ​​Sand.

But the ancient advice told her that elephants don't lie to ants.

If he really thought so, he shouldn't have made things difficult for the people living on that land.

The alliance is made up of everyone living there.

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

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

"Can I?"

Surprised, astonished, confused, and surprised expressions appeared on different faces.

The atmosphere on the scene burned instantly...

...

Should that be considered a proposal?

Anyway, the laws of the alliance only stipulate the age of marriage, and there is no stipulation on who must propose to whom.

If possible, Lu Bei really hopes that the administrator can agree.

It doesn't matter who it is.

It doesn't matter even if it's a foreigner.

Even if he-well, it's a pity that he is a man, and there's no point in being anxious.

Unfortunately, the administrator did not accept the proposal of the foreign princess.

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

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

"Whether it is the residents of Oasis No. 3 or Oasis No. 2, they will be finally liberated. We will not force them to give up their beliefs, but we will fulfill the obligations of the refuge, open schools there, teach them scientific laws, teach them to cultivate farmland, and even the spirit of the desert cannot interfere."

Summer said hurriedly.

"The Honey Badger Royal Family will cooperate with your work."

Chu Guang nodded.

He is not without selfishness. Any help has a price. Paying attention to the interests of one's own people is the basis of unity. It's just that he will choose a relatively mild means to collect rewards.

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

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

As for what the Honey Badger Royal Family plans to do at that time, that is their own business.

But it's too early to say this now.

If that day comes, maybe they will ask 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 thoughts brought by the players from that world will have some influence on them.

After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Avni with a lost expression.

"If you really yearn for the world I described, you can walk around and see more in the cities of the alliance these days. I will arrange a guide for you."

He would not be narcissistic and think that this little girl fell in love with him at first sight, so there is no embarrassment at all.

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

If it was to save the homeland burned by the war, she should have used other means.

After listening to Chu Guang's words, Avni shook her head slightly and looked at him seriously.

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

Student?

Chu Guang smiled, always feeling a little nostalgic about the word.

After all, he was sent here without explanation 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 returning to the desert, if you want to find a job to kill time, you can help me sort out the books that haven't been classified yet."

"There are many interesting books there, from the distant prosperous era, which may bring some inspiration to your future work."

He had recovered a lot of books from Yong's before, and they were all piled up in the warehouse of Dawn City.

At present, the Merchants' Guild is responsible for sorting, but there are not many people available.

With the ignition of the fusion reactor and the arrival of corporate aid equipment, there are vacancies everywhere in the alliance, especially in need of talents with literacy.

Avni nodded meekly.

"I will complete the task you assigned me."

Chu Guang nodded approvingly and gave her an encouraging look.

Perhaps his plan would be more successful than he imagined.

After all, only two hundred years had passed since the prosperous era, so it was not too late.
