The night filled the dirty city. Abandoned newspapers and advertising cards were stuck on the road where sewage flowed. The passing wheels kept splashing black water.
The badly damaged neon sign flickered on and off, bursting out with electric sparks from time to time. The streets below were crowded and noisy, with hurried pedestrians and endless vehicles.
Late at night, Sanchahe City is as noisy and crowded as during the day, as if everyone here has endless things to do.
Sanchahe City, New Edo in the central wilderness, and the "Tears of the Sea" casino in the western continent are known as the three "cities that never sleep". However, the latter two are entertainment-oriented, while Sanchahe City is busy with business and rushes to work day and night.
It was still ten minutes before dawn, and an old church on the outskirts of the city was still lit with candles, and the dim firelight shone on the worried faces.
Everyone was sitting quietly on wooden benches like the local residents who usually worship, but everyone had a sad look on their face.
If someone who often reads Longhe Business News is here, he will find that the most powerful people in Sanchahe City are gathered in this small church at this moment.
Standing on the pastor's podium, presiding over the meeting were two middle-aged men, one a tall, thin yellow man and the other a chubby white man.
The tall and thin middle-aged man is Liu Huanxi, the vice chairman of the Jinfen Port Chamber of Commerce in Sanchahe City, and the chubby one is Slade Yutian, the deputy bishop of the Sanchahe City branch of the Church of Light.
At this moment, both of their faces were filled with embarrassment and pain. They seemed not to be hosting the meeting, but to be interrogated by everyone.
"I've already said that we only met him once, and we don't have a deep friendship." The tall, thin middle-aged man said in embarrassment.
"My situation is similar to Vice Chairman Liu. When he came back from the Black Death Continent, he donated a ransom to the church in order to regain his identity." The chubby middle-aged man looked embarrassed, "What's more, we Even if we have a little friendship with him, it’s impossible to ask him to intercede with the enemy, right?”
"Yes..." the tall and thin middle-aged man agreed, "regardless of whether we have any friendship or not, and whether this matter is suitable or not, everyone in the world knows that the Queen of the South and the Princess of the North are mortal enemies, and the North and the South are always in opposition. , you asked the Prime Minister of Ice Blue City to persuade the two-yuan general of the Northern Alliance, do you think this is possible?"
"Well, aren't we helpless?" The old man dressed as a businessman sitting in the front row sighed, "They occupy the Free Trade Building every day, and their subordinates follow them to eat and drink and make free money. How can we survive like this?"
The Free Trade Building is located in the city center. It is the symbol of Sanchahe City and a super five-star international hotel. It is both a trading place and a place for hedonistic consumption.
Ever since the two women Lacey and Ye Yang Bailiu arrived, they have been occupying the building, and the officers under them also eat, drink and stay in the hotel for free. The ten major chambers of commerce in Sanchahe City all visited her one after another, and the gifts that needed to be given were given to them, but they just refused to leave.
I couldn't rush them, I couldn't scold them, I could only serve them with good wine and meat, just like offering sacrifices to two female Rakshasas, I didn't dare to neglect them at all. After all, there were two army groups stationed outside the city, and they were still the main force.
But their appetites are like bottomless pits that cannot be filled no matter how much they are filled.
Recently, they have been gathering every few days to discuss how to send these two female Rakshasa away. Someone heard rumors today that Liu Huanxi and Slade Yutian once had contacts with Chen Xing, the prime minister of Ice Blue City.
Chen Xing used to be a popular man in the Northern Alliance and the supreme commander of the expeditionary force. He thought that he might know the two women. Although he has rebelled now, his love for him should still be a little bit, so tonight they got together again and wanted to Let the two of them contact Chen Xing and intercede on their behalf.
If two more women are allowed to stay in the city, there will be problems in the operation of the entire Sanchahe City.
But they were a chamber of commerce, and they didn't have any soldiers or generals, and they couldn't possibly hire mercenaries to deal with the two women. Not to mention whether they can pose a threat, behind them is the Northern Alliance, which holds heavy troops. No one in Sanchahe City who doesn't have eyes would dare to offend them.
People from the ten major chambers of commerce were frowning and huddled in a dilapidated church on the outskirts of the city for discussion, while two female Rakshasa in the Free Trade Building were admiring the moon, tasting wine, and chatting leisurely.
But it's just chatting, but it's also serious business. They had just received the latest order from their master, requiring them to capture any of the principalities of Red Rock, Hanling, Black Spear, and Water Weasel within a month, because the progress in the south was catching up.
The master's voice was angry and urgent, as if he had been provoked by someone, and he even spoke with gritted teeth.
The master was in a bad mood, and as a minister, he must share his worries, so the two women lay on the beach chairs on the top floor of the super five-star hotel, chatting about business while basking in the moonlight.
"The situation in the east is unclear. Let's go west hand in hand to hunt water ferrets." Lacey turned over and looked sideways at Ye Yang Bailiu, who had an equally hot figure, and suggested.
Ye Yang Bailiu turned his head, glanced at the other party coldly, and commented, "Your joke is not funny at all."
"Haha~" Lacey laughed, her smile was extremely charming, "You really hold a grudge."
"Don't you know that women are stingy?" Ye Yang Bailiu said, "Don't worry, I will remember what happened last time."
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years. Last time in the Chiyan Mountains, the other party suddenly blocked the satellite signal and covered the expeditionary force's defense area. If the Chiyan Principality hadn't reacted slowly, she would have been killed directly.
"Haha~" Lacey's smile became more and more charming, and she reached out and patted Ye Yang Bailiu's round shoulder, "Then I wish you won't get Alzheimer's disease."
A cold flash flashed in Ye Yang Bailiu's eyes, and then he smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Princess Qingcheng is famous all over the world, and her military ability is comparable to that of the four great strategists. She can hunt water weasels on her own. Why bother?" Ask someone to take the credit together?"
"You want me to have an army group fight against a principality?" Lacey's eyes looked like she was looking at a fool.
"It's just a principality, hasn't Chen Xiaowu done it?" Ye Yang Bailiu challenged, "What Chen Xiaowu can do, can't Princess Qingcheng, who is as famous as the four great military advisors, not be able to do it?"
"Chen Xiaoxiao" is Chen Xing's latest codename, appointed by the Princess of the North.
"Water Weasel is the weakest country on the Ambergris River. Its national power is much different from Silver Claw. Others can defeat Silver Claw, but it's just a water weasel. Is the eldest princess so unsure of herself? Or... "Ye Yang Bailiu laughed, with a charming smile, "Someone just has an empty title and is nothing more than an embroidered pillow?"
Ye Yang Bailiu's heart-piercing words caused a layer of frost to appear on Lacey's beautiful face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If you compare that bastard to me again, I will fall out with you!"
"Yo yo yo, the eldest princess is angry, it's really scary~" Looking at Ye Yang Bailiu's sneer, Lacey quickly calmed down, the glimmer in her eyes shook a few times, and she smiled again, "It's been so long, but still... The man who talks about his past is indeed a second-hand loser~"
Second-hand money-losing guy refers to Ye Yang Bailiu who used to be with Chen Xing and was no longer clean. Now he is with Aaliya. He is a "second-hand guy". Moreover, he still talks about the previous man and never forgets the old relationship, so he is a "money-losing guy". ".
I have to say that smart women have venomous mouths.
Ye Yang Bailiu was indeed angry, his face turned slightly pale, he clenched his fists, stared into the opponent's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Can I understand that you want to start a new war?"
"You can't even bear this little blow, you are so shallow~" Lacey's smile became even brighter, but there was a dangerous meaning in her eyes, like a female leopard dormant in the woods, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
Ye Yang Bailiu's face was frosty, and he slowly turned his body sideways, looking ready to go.
Where their eyes collided, sparks seemed to flash.
A strong killing intent, like the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in May, filled the air from the two of them.
The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and the air seemed to begin to freeze.
However, despite the murderous intent in the field, it seemed that a life and death fight was about to happen at the next moment, but the two figures remained motionless, as if they were waiting for the other to make the first move.
Time passed quietly, and the two women looked at me and I looked at you, until the rising sun was born, the sun was shining brightly, and they actually faced each other all night long.
Probably because they all understood that it would be difficult to determine the winner in a fight, but none of them wanted to leave first, as doing so would make them look weak and timid, so it ended up like this - a stalemate all night long.
The stalemate may continue. The relationship between them is just like the internal relationship of the Northern Alliance. They are suspicious of each other and wary of each other. On the surface, they are good friends, but privately they want to tear each other alive.
Although they are all nominally subordinates of the Northern Princess, Aaliyah has a lazy personality and is careless in making decisions. She usually only gives general directions and does not care about the details. She is a boss who only cares about the results and not about the process.
This resulted in the major armies of the Northern Alliance being leaderless and fighting independently. They all want to let others charge and take advantage from behind.
The bad thing is that everyone in the Northern Alliance is talented and extremely smart. Whether it is Ricardo, Lacey, or Ye Yang Bailiu, their abacus is louder than the last.
The abundance of talents has resulted in stagnation, because no one is willing to be a pawn and let others reap the fruits of victory.
On the other hand, Cold Mountain and Black Spear have received a large amount of foreign aid, and their total military strength is even stronger than before the fall of Silver Claw. Countless "mercenaries" from all over the world appeared at airports and docks. They had solemn expressions and neat military appearances. It was obvious at first glance that they were regular soldiers who had been trained for a long time, but they had just torn off their epaulettes.
The reason why these foreign aids appear is because foreign forces are unwilling to see a complete and unified red country. It would be best if the civil war in the Red Kingdom continues and consumes each other, so that they can sit back and relax, and also gain some voice and control in the future.
In such an environment, even with the two military geniuses Ricardo and Lacey, the Northern Alliance did not gain any strategic advantage. Instead, it became a situation of internal strife.
