Reaper can become stronger

After a pause, he added, "Heiyan Island has many extraordinary people. If all the extraordinary forces on the island are unified, it will undoubtedly be an extremely large force. I am afraid that even the Qianyuan Business Alliance and The Tania Empire will not sit idly by."

Seue waited patiently for Lin Lichuan to finish, and then chuckled and nodded: "You are mostly right. It is indeed because of external pressure, but it is not exactly what you think."

Lin Lichuan cast a questioning look at him.

"The unified Heiyan Island will certainly make the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tania Empire jealous, but unless Heiyan Island really poses a substantial threat to the two countries, they will not attack Heiyan Island. After all, the unified Heiyan Island has the power that even they have to face, otherwise, if there is a conflict, even if they can defeat Heiyan Island, they will have to pay a high price."

"In other words, Heiyan Island poses a certain substantive threat to the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tania Empire?" Lin Lichuan heard Su He's hidden meaning.

But what surprised him even more was that, listening to Seue, the status quo of Heiyan Island seemed to be caused by the joint pressure of the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tania Empire. However, these two countries were in a state of turmoil. Everyone knows the difference in the relationship between them, and it is hard to imagine that they will join forces to deal with Heiyan Island.

"That's right." Sue glanced at Lin Lichuan appreciatively, talking to a smart person is an easy task.

"What threat?" Lin Lichuan asked, if the power of Heiyan Island after the unification can't be regarded as a substantive threat, then he can't understand what else is.

Seue asked without answering: "Do you know who the current emperor of the Tania Empire is?"

"Markotania." Lin Lichuan had some doubts why Suhe asked, but he answered immediately.

Seue nodded and slowly said: "Before Markotania succeeded the empire, he was the thirteenth prince of the empire. At that time, he was not among the top princes of the empire, regardless of whether he succeeded or controlled the power. According to the circumstances at the time, there was no possibility of winning the position of emperor."

Lin Lichuan's expression moved, revealing an expression of quiet listening, without interrupting.

"Later the struggle for the throne intensified, but the situation gradually became clear. The factional forces headed by the first prince had the upper hand, and victory was almost at hand. At this moment, the previous emperor suddenly died of illness. This incident hit many princes and great nobles. One caught off guard, but also pushed the throne struggle to a climax. The first prince defeated other competitors with a resolute offensive, but just when he was about to win, Marco suddenly emerged."

"He colluded with the people of the Qianyuan Business Alliance, and did not know what method he used to win over Brockel, who was the commander of the Royal Legion at the time and is now the Marquis of the Empire. He took advantage of the situation and suddenly attacked the faction of the first prince. The forces killed the first prince and won the throne."

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan couldn't help showing a look of surprise: "Even if it is for the throne, colluding with the Qianyuan Business Alliance is not a clean method, right? The nobles of the empire just ignored it?"

Seue said: "At that time, the empire and the Qianyuan business alliance had not yet developed to such a situation as it is now. Moreover, although it was collusion, Markel controlled this very well and did not exceed the bottom line. Borrowing troops from the Qianyuan Business Alliance, or seeking help at the cost of splitting the country, but reaching a deal with the Qianyuan Business Alliance at another price that does not harm the interests of the empire. Although the method is not bright, it did not arouse the domestic noble Rebound."

Lin Lichuan was slightly silent, the struggle for the throne was extremely cruel, and the loser basically had no other end except death. Therefore, the competitors frequently used means and used everything, even in the history of the previous life, attracting foreign enemies into the country. There are too many examples of borrowing the power of foreign enemies to seize the throne at the cost of dividing the country. Marco's approach is not rare.

Winner and loser, only victory is the only goal, and everything else has to lean back.

Seue continued: "I have to say that Marko's methods are indeed very good. The Qianyuan Business Alliance has sent a full six knights for his use, including a luminous moon knight, plus Brockel. This luminous moon knight, the power he held in his hands suddenly expanded greatly, coupled with the unexpected emergence of a strange army, so he became the ultimate winner."

Bright Moon Knight?

Lin Lichuan felt astonished. The Radiant Moon Knight was almost the top of the Transcendent World Pyramid. It could be said that it was the existence of various countries with the same weapon. The Qianyuan Business Alliance was actually willing to send a Radiant Moon Knight to assist Marko?

What deal did they make in private.

It seemed that he had guessed Lin’s suspicion, and Seue then slowly said: "In fact, to be precise, it is not the Qianyuan Business Alliance that reached an agreement with Marko, but the Zhou family within the alliance."

"The Zhou family, one of the four major families?" Lin Lichuan was startled slightly, and immediately reacted.

"Yes." Seue nodded lightly. "In fact, more than 20 years ago, there were more than four veteran families in the Qianyuan Business Alliance, but five. The other was the Yao family, which was also called the Big Five at the time."

"Among the five veteran families, the Zhou family has the worst relationship with the Yao family, and contradictions are frequent. As a reward for assisting Marco to win the throne, Marco then went all out to help the Zhou family defeat the Yao family and successfully annexed most of the Yao family. The wealth and resources made the Yao family fall, and since then retired from the ranks of the elder family, becoming a second-rate family, and the Zhou family has become the most powerful elder family in the alliance."

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan seemed to think of something, his expression couldn't help but tentatively asked: "Yao Qian, Yao Bing and Yao family..."

Su Er nodded calmly: "You guessed it, the two brothers belonged to the Yao family. They were expelled from the Qianyuan Business Alliance and finally came to Heiyan Island after failing the fight with the Zhou family."

"The same is true for me. I was originally a member of the First Prince's faction. After losing the throne struggle, I was also expelled from the Tania Empire."

Chapter 252-Su He's Request

There was silence in the study.

Lin Lichuan frowned slightly, digesting the shocking content he heard from Seue.

The Black Flame Council was actually made up of the losers in the power struggle between the Thousand Chambers of Business Alliance and the Tania Empire more than 20 years ago, and he never expected this to be the case.

While shocked, Lin Lichuan also vaguely understood why Heiyan Island was pressured by the two countries.

Sure enough, I listened to Seue then slowly said: "During that struggle, whether it was Marco or the Zhou family, their strength was greatly damaged, and we urgently need to regain our vitality. In addition, we who have lost are still in control. Small power, so they did not rush to kill, but as a price, we must leave our respective countries...in the name of being driven into exile."

"The place of exile was Heiyan Island. Later, because of its geographical location, Heiyan Island gradually became a paradise for many vagrants and criminals. It quickly developed and expanded. Upon seeing this, we jointly founded the Black Flame Council, but Marco People from the Zhou family quickly learned about this, and the two sides joined forces to secretly pressure the Black Flame Council to prevent the emergence of unification forces."

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan didn't realize it, and finally understood the current situation of Heiyan Island and where the Heiyan Council's weird attitude in the management of Heiyan Island came from.

Marko and the Zhou family are obviously worried that the losers of the previous struggle will come back. If the Black Flame Council completely controls the Black Flame Island, then this worry may become a reality, even if the possibility is not high, they can't help but beware.

As for why the Black Flame Council was not cleaned up, it was mostly related to the subsequent conflict between the Thousand Chambers Business Alliance and the Tania Empire. The two sides refused to join forces, but they refused to deal with the Black Flame Council alone, so as not to let their opponents benefit from the fishermen. Formed a stagnant situation right now.

However, this stagnation also has a bottom line. If Heiyan Island has a truly unified power, regardless of whether it is related to the Black Flame Council or not, Marco and Zhou, who feel the threat, will undoubtedly abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to eliminate Heiyan at any cost. Yan Council.

Therefore, when Lin Lichuan defeated other district owners and showed signs of unifying the twelve districts of Heiyan Island, the Black Flame Council would stop it.

Strictly speaking, Seue and others are actually equivalent to being imprisoned on Heiyan Island, and the entire island is their cage.

After a long while, when Lin Lichuan digested these words and raised his head again, Seue continued: "I am sorry for your actions before the council, but this is also a last resort."

"I understand." Lin Lichuan nodded slightly.

If Heiyan Island is really unified, it touches the bottom line of Marco and Zhou's family, and if the two sides abandon their conflicts and join hands to deal with the Black Flame Council, I would like to know that the other party will definitely not let him and Seireitei go.

"But what does this have to do with the transaction you mentioned earlier?"

"The deal I want to make with you is to help us defeat Marco and Zhou's family."

Lin Lichuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, revealing the look you were joking.

The reason why the Black Flame Council is in the current situation is not because even the unified Black Flame Island and the Black Flame Council cannot resist the cooperation between Marco and the Zhou family?

Could it be possible to add him to change the extremely unfavorable situation?

Through the mask, Seue seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and patiently explained: "Of course I will not want you to confront the Tania Empire and the Zhou family. This is not realistic. I only want you to help solve a few key points. character."

"Key person?" Lin Lichuan let out a laugh, "Marco must be the key person, but he is the emperor. What is the difference between starting a war with him and fighting the Tania Empire?"

Unexpectedly, Seue shook his head when he heard the words: "It seems that you still don't know. Soon after you left the empire, Marco was seriously ill. It is estimated that the time is running out. We don't need to do it. He It won't last long."

Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Seue. Hearing this, the latter obviously already knew his true identity.

But when I thought about it, this was actually not unexpected. After all, when he first came to Heiyan Island, he had searched for Lin Zhenyi's whereabouts. With the energy of the Black Flame Council, he wanted to find out what he was doing. Identity is not difficult.

What shocked him was the news that Marko was seriously ill. As a result, the struggle for the throne within the empire might become fierce.

After a long while, Lin Lichuan came back to his senses and put aside the idea of ​​the struggle for the throne for a while, and then asked: "If it's not Marco, then who is the key person you are talking about."

"Brockel." Seue replied simply, "Although we have been expelled over the years, there are still some resources in the empire. As long as Marko and Brockel are gone, we naturally have a way to make The Empire no longer exerts pressure on Heiyan Island."

"Where is Zhou's house?"

"Similarly, the only thing I fear from the Zhou family is the Radiant Moon Knight in their family.
