#220 - Section 220
So she couldn't fully enjoy herself, with something weighing on her mind!
Now that Roger said he knew all along and wasn't worried, it was clear that this whole thing was deliberately arranged by him, but he didn't even tell her. Of course, she had a reason to be angry.
The commander is also a member of the Night Watch, important intelligence must be shared so everyone can make a judgement together!
But her relationship with Roger wasn't just a simple leader-subordinate one, they were also lovers. So this curiosity could be a lubricant for their relationship, allowing them to communicate in a more relaxed environment.
Roger smiled and said, "This is quite troublesome to describe. Why don't you just guess?"
Little Joey mocked herself: "I'm so stupid, how could I guess?"
"It's okay, whatever you guess, I'll say you're right."
"That...you just don't want to say!"
"You've discovered it."
"My lord, my good lord, please tell me..."
"Then the same old rules?"
"My lord, here..."
"Don't worry, no one will disturb us."
Little Joey looked at Roger with a charming smile, slowly leaning down...
......
......
Hai country Palace, night, Roger's palace.
Little Joey didn't return toAodu. After receiving approval from her superiors, she was allowed to stay in Hai country to observe the upcoming battles and accumulate practical experience and so on...
However, this had always been Little Joey's wish. Since joining the army, she had only participated in one battle, disguised as the Restoration Army, which was basically a rural brawl, not a real war.
It was also because of that operation that she met Roger. In order to stay by Roger's side, she directly retired from the army.
The battle between Hai country and the Naga, regardless of the level, was at least large in scale, and it was also a contest between regular armies, the largest-scale battle in the Evernight World at the moment.
Little Joey had fought thousands of virtual wars, and now she was one step away from the real battlefield, reluctant to leave.
As for whether there was anything else she was reluctant to leave, those who understand, understand...
Using "Since I'm already here" as an excuse to act coquettishly, coupled with deliberately performing well, she successfully seduced Roger and was able to stay here.
Of course, this was also because the upcoming battles were not very dangerous. Even Frankenstein's "irregular" behavior was actually under Roger's control.
He said that he was using a trick within a trick, but Little Joey had very good reason to suspect that this bad egg was very likely deliberately guiding the current situation.
With Roger's understanding of Frankenstein, giving Frankenstein a greeting in front of the test base coral, or changing the way to let her know the news in advance, could have avoided Frankenstein's impulsive behavior.
But Roger didn't do this. The first news that Frankenstein saw was the equipment feedback from Saintess Nicole, giving her the illusion of being abandoned, which is why she tried to turn the situation around at all costs.
Here, it is necessary to supplement the cognitive differences between the two worlds. Nuclear weapons are now highly valued in the empire, but they do not have the major significance of changing the form of warfare like on Earth.
Magic equivalent to millions of tons, or even greater power, has always existed.
The continuous damage to the environment caused by some evil magic experiments is no less than nuclear pollution.
In the eyes of magicians, mushroom bombs are considered a "powerful, fast, and mass-producible weapon". They are valued because of the convenience and cost-effectiveness of manufacturing, rather than being truly unparalleled.
This is the characteristic of different worlds.
It's like the appearance of submarines is not as big as our giant whale, so it will definitely not cause the morale of the sea clan to collapse.
So Frankenstein didn't take the ban too seriously, thinking that it was just because the Queen liked these big explosions and wanted to hoard more.
After calming down, she didn't think it was a big deal, so she facilitated the transaction.
Roger...is actually pretty much the same now.
He had already received the news, but he sat back and watched this happen, giving Little Joey a few reasons:
First of all, super weapons can strengthen the Naga's determination to continue fighting, otherwise Nicole will enter a fanatical form;
Secondly, by holding Frankenstein's handle, the Evernight Queen will clean her up, so that she can calm down from her recent expansion.
Thirdly, let Hai country understand the power of the enemy, generate fear, and thus move closer to the empire;
Finally, if her Minister of Industry can secretly sell weapons abroad, can't I, the commander of the Night Watch, secretly add a little seasoning to these two weapons?
So in the end, selling this batch of mushroom bombs to the Naga gave Roger more room for manipulation.
Moreover, the Naga are not stupid. If Terra normally sells weapons of this level, they will inevitably suspect that they are digging a hole for themselves, so they are quite cautious.
But Frankenstein impulsively operated, and Nicole judged her emotions, operations, and transaction channels, and was completely able to determine that this was an impulsive behavior of an alchemist.
It was their own "good luck" that brushed out a limited pool...
How could they miss this?
I'm gonna whale so hard(TMD氪爆: TMD spend a lot of money)!
As the Naga's equipment was in place, the situation on the front line became tense again.
Roger, Little Joey, and Margaret returned to the second line of defense with Crown Prince Shark.
"You Night Watch have sent quite a few people?" Margaret suspiciously sized up Little Joey, seemingly smelling something unusual between her and Roger.
Chapter 197 Margaret Only Feels Sorry for Her Sister
Margaret certainly knew Little Joey. The Imperial military and the Night Watch had a lot of cooperation. As the actual person in charge, Little Joey must have cooperated with Margaret.
But those were all official matters, and there was no personal relationship at all. Margaret was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to make friends.
She remembered Little Joey because she had received intelligence about Dio and Little Joey "dating", which left a deep impression.
Now seeing Little Joey appearing beside Roger, with outsiders present, they certainly wouldn't be as clingy as they would be in private.
But the degree of tacit understanding between the two people far exceeded that of ordinary superiors and subordinates.
Many times, without Roger giving orders at all, Little Joey could take the initiative to understand and handle things properly in advance.
All of this was seen by Margaret, which is why she made the above teasing remark:
You Roger don't have much work to do in the first place, and I'm the one doing the specific command, so why did the Night Watch send a deputy?
Isn't that just to serve you?
Little Joey didn't know how to answer and was a little nervous, afraid that her staying here would cause trouble for Roger.
But Roger wouldn't care about Margaret's provocation to this extent. After all, he was helping her by participating in the Hai country war, so he replied expressionlessly: "Imperial secrets, no comment."
"You!" Margaret was blocked back so bluntly, and her whole person was about to explode.
I'm expressing my question with a rhetorical question, you don't need to answer at all!
As a result, your serious answer makes me seem like an idle and nosy melon eater, and also a very stupid and tactless one!
But looking at Roger's calm and smiling shameless face, Margaret felt that arguing with him was very boring...
She loses too much.
She only knows how to curse when she's angry, and she doesn't have the rich experience of modern keyboard warriors who satirize and output.
Often, in less than five sentences, she would be brought into Roger's rhythm, and then be madly ravaged from the height of IQ.
After looking back and forth between Roger and Little Joey a few times, Margaret suddenly laughed: "Say it or not, I don't bother to know the little things between you!"
She suddenly realized what the sense of déjà vu that Roger and Little Joey's relationship gave her was.
Little Joey's expression and attitude around Roger were exactly the same as her attitude around Dio!
In Margaret's eyes, Roger and Dio were "a couple", a kind of love relationship that was not allowed by the mainstream imperial concept.
And both of them were so excellent.
Whether it was their appearance, status, talent, or conversation, they could easily arouse the favor of the opposite sex.
In order to prevent their world from being disturbed, these two guys definitely needed a layer of cover...
So, Margaret understood!
This Little Joey is the cover to coordinate Roger and Dio.
That's why she appeared beside Dio and is now here with Roger.
On the surface, she seems to be winning big, but in reality, this girl is super pitiful, just a tool person who cooperates with this "couple" to perform, in order to make them seem normal...
Little Joey is miserable, really miserable.
Margaret shook her head with emotion, thinking she understood everything.
She understood that there must be an exchange of benefits, such as normal promotion. With Little Joey's background and qualifications, it was impossible to reach the position of deputy commander of the Night Watch.
It was obvious that this was Roger's compensation to Little Joey, compensating her for giving up her happiness, eating dog food between this couple, and having to cooperate with them to do all kinds of cover-ups.
Roger brought Little Joey with him, probably to compensate her for the regret of not being able to participate in the war after she retired.
Margaret's brain made up a completely wrong process, but she actually demonstrated a correct result, which is also a talent...
She no longer had hostility and suspicion towards Little Joey, but sympathy:
Girl, I understand your feelings, I can fully understand.
Having such excellent boys around you, even two, but only being able to watch them stick together and not being able to take action, what a painful realization!
Because, I'm the same!
They keep using you, only I will feel sorry for my sister.
This was the first time Little Joey had been so close to this legendary Left Chancellor. The little demon was known for being difficult to get along with in the imperial court.
When Margaret walked over and sternly questioned Little Joey why she was here, to be honest, Little Joey was extremely scared.
But as a result, Roger blocked her back with a sentence of "no comment", and Little Joey also felt a little confused...
The Left Chancellor doesn't seem to be as scary as the legend says?
Or is our Lord Roger too strong?
Although she felt that the way she looked at herself and Roger was a little difficult to understand, but people's joys and sorrows are not connected, let alone a mixed-race demon...
Because, we are different!
As long as my lord doesn't dislike me, let others think what they want!
Coincidentally, the two girls' eyes met, Little Joey was a little nervous even though she had figured it out, and smiled at Margaret in a restrained manner.
Margaret hesitated for a moment and also gave her a friendly smile.
"Come, let's summarize the information from the front line and deduce the possible strategies of the Naga," Margaret took the initiative to say to everyone in the Crown Prince whale car, including Shark.
Everyone naturally had no objections, especially Little Joey, who was also a little surprised.
Originally, she thought she was just here to watch the battle, but now she also has the opportunity to participate in decision-making discussions...
This is all thanks to Lord Roger's face, right?
This time Shark returned to the capital, not only to report on his work and receive rewards, but also to replenish his troops.
The strength of his troops reached 60,000, which could have been even more.
But Shark was very clear that as time went on, the real main force on his side should be the biochemical fish swarm constantly accumulating in the base coral.
Hai country soldiers are mainly to complete the occupation and harvest, quality is more important than quantity, so they only replenished to 60,000, and the subsequent mobilized forces were given to Black Shark Fortress.
He wasn't very interested in the competition for the throne in the first place. The most important thing right now is for Hai country to win and drive away the Naga.
That way, the Black Shark Fortress, which bears the brunt of the impact, must not be allowed to have any problems.
The Fourth Prince Dole didn't know what Shark was thinking, but there was no reason to refuse the benefits that were delivered to his door, so he naturally happily accepted them, while actively carrying out war preparations.
They had already received news that the Naga and the Terra Kingdom had carried out another large-scale arms deal.
Although they didn't know that there were mushroom bombs in it that could change the course of the battle, Hai country gave the support provided by the land race the greatest degree of importance.
They have gradually discovered that compared to the slow pace of the seabed, which has not changed for who knows how many years, with the rise of the Qing Teng Empire, carrying out various revolutions internally, the countries on land have entered a state of "acceleration".
War, in addition to being the ultimate solution to national conflicts, is also the best advertisement for national strength.
The winning country, no matter how they win, their products, culture, art, and even race will be given a halo.
