Hanging up Death can become stronger

After a pause, he added, "There are many extraordinary people on Black Flame Island. If all the extraordinary forces on the island are united, it will undoubtedly be a huge force. I am afraid that even the Thousand Courts Business Alliance and The Tania Empire will not sit idly by."

Sue patiently waited for Lin Lichuan to finish speaking, then nodded with a chuckle and said, "Most of what you're right is indeed because of external pressure, but it's not exactly what you imagined."

Lin Lichuan cast him a questioning look.

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

"In other words, Black Flame Island poses some kind of substantial threat to the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tania Empire?" Lin Lichuan heard Su'er's hidden meaning.

But what surprised him even more was that, according to Sue, the current situation of Black Flame Island seemed to be caused by the joint pressure of the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tania Empire. The difference in the relationship between them is well known, it is really hard to imagine that they will join forces to deal with Black Flame Island.

"That's right." Su'e gave Lin Lichuan an appreciative glance, it would be easy to talk to smart people.

"What threat?" Lin Lichuan asked. If the unified power of Heiyan Island cannot be regarded as a substantial threat, then he can't figure out what else is.

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

"Marcotania." Lin Lichuan was a little puzzled why Sue asked such a question, but he answered immediately.

Sue nodded, and said slowly: "Markotania was the No. 13 prince of the empire before succeeding as the emperor of the empire. At that time, he was not in the forefront among the many princes of the empire, whether it was the order of succession or the power he controlled. According to the situation at that time, there was no possibility of winning the throne of emperor at all."

Lin Lichuan's expression changed, revealing an expression of listening quietly, without interjecting.

"Later, the battle for the throne intensified, but the situation gradually became clearer. The faction headed by the first prince had the upper hand, and the victory was almost within reach. At this time, the previous emperor died of illness. This incident hit many princes and nobles. A surprise, but it also pushed the battle for the throne to a climax, the first prince defeated the other competitors with a vigorous offensive, but just when he was about to win, Marco suddenly emerged."

"He colluded with people from the Qianyuan Business Alliance, and he did not know what method he used to win over Brocker, who was the head of the Royal Legion at the time and is now the Marquis of the Empire. Power, killed the first prince, and then won the throne."

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan couldn't help showing surprise: "Even if it's for the throne, colluding with the Qianyuan Business Alliance is not a clean way, is it? The nobles of the empire just sit idly by?"

Sue said with a smile: "At that time, the Empire and the Qianyuan Business Alliance had not yet developed to the situation that is now in a state of chaos. Moreover, although it was a collusion, Markle controlled this aspect very well and did not cross the bottom line. Borrowing troops from the Qianyuan Commercial Alliance, or seeking help at the cost of splitting the country, but reaching a deal with the Qianyuan Commercial Alliance at another price that does not harm the interests of the empire, although the means are not very bright, but it did not attract domestic nobles. rebound."

Lin Lichuan was slightly silent. The battle for the throne was extremely cruel, and the loser basically had no other end except death. Therefore, the competitors used all kinds of methods frequently, and they used all kinds of methods. Even in the history of the previous life, they lured 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 splitting the country, and Marco's approach is not so rare.

Winners and losers, only victory is the only goal, and everything else has to rely on it.

Sue continued: "I have to say that Marco's methods are indeed very good. The Qianyuan Business Alliance sent a total of six knights to use for him, including a Huiyue knight, and Broker This Knight of Huiyue, the power in his hands suddenly swelled, coupled with the unexpected emergence of an army, so he became the final winner."

Bright Moon Knight?

Lin Lichuan was astonished. The Huiyue Knight is almost the top existence of the pyramid in the extraordinary world. It can be said that it is the same existence as the weapons of all countries. The Qianyuan Business Alliance is willing to send a Huiyue Knight to assist Marko?

What kind of deal did they make in private.

Seeming to have guessed Lin's doubts, Sue then said slowly: "In fact, to be precise, it is not the Qianyuan Business Alliance that has reached an agreement with Marko, but the Zhou family in the alliance."

"The Zhou family, one of the four great families?" Lin Lichuan was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized it.

"That's right." Sue nodded lightly, "In fact, more than 20 years ago, there were not four but five veteran families in the Qianyuan Business Alliance. The other was the Yao family, which was also known as the five major families at that time."

"Of the five elder families, the relationship between the Zhou family and the Yao family is the worst, with frequent conflicts. As a reward for helping Marco win the throne, Marco then gave his best to help the Zhou family defeat the Yao family and successfully annexed most of the Yao family. Wealth and resources caused the Yao family to decline, and they withdrew from the ranks of elder families and became a second-rate family, while the Zhou family became the most powerful elder family in the alliance."

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed, and he asked tentatively: "Yao Qian, Yao Bing and the Yao family..."

Sue nodded calmly: "You guessed it right, the two brothers belong to the Yao family. After failing to fight against the Zhou family, they were expelled from the Qianyuan Business Alliance and finally came to Black Flame Island."

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

Chapter 252 Sue's Request

There was silence in the study.

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

The Black Flame Council was actually formed by the losers of the Qianyuan Business Alliance and the Tania Empire more than 20 years ago. He never expected this to be the case.

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

Sure enough, I heard Sue say slowly afterwards: "During that struggle, both Marco and Zhou's strength suffered a lot of damage, and they urgently need to recover. In addition, the losers like us still hold a lot of power. Small force, so they didn't kill them all, but as a price, we had to leave our respective countries...in the name of deportation and exile."

"And the place of exile was Black Flame Island. Later, because of its geographical location, Black Flame Island gradually became a paradise for many homeless and criminals. It developed rapidly. Seeing this, we jointly established the Black Flame Council, but Marko People from the Zhou family and the Zhou family quickly found out about this, and the two sides joined forces to secretly put pressure on the Black Flame Council to prevent the emergence of a unified force."

Hearing this, Lin Lichuan was stunned, and finally understood the current situation of Black Flame Island, and where the Black Flame Council's strange attitude in the management of Black Flame Island came from.

Marko and the Zhou family are obviously worried that the losers of the previous struggle will make a comeback. If the Black Flame Council completely controls the Black Flame Island, then this worry may become a reality at some point. Even if the possibility is not high, they have to be wary.

As for why the Black Flame Council was not cleaned up, it was mostly related to the subsequent conflict between the Thousand Courts Business Alliance and the Tania Empire. The current situation of stagnation has formed.

However, this stagnation also has a bottom line. If there is a truly unified force on Black Flame Island, no matter whether it is related to the Black Flame Council or not, Marco and the Zhou family, who feel the threat, will undoubtedly abandon their previous suspicions immediately and join forces to eliminate the Black Flame at any cost. Inflammation council.

That's why when Lin Lichuan defeated the other district owners and showed signs of unifying the twelve districts of Black Flame Island, the Black Flame Council took action to stop it.

Strictly speaking, Sue and the others are actually imprisoned on Black Flame Island, and the entire island is their cage.

After a while, when Lin Lichuan digested these words and raised his head again, Sue continued: "I'm sorry for the council's behavior towards you before, but this is a last resort."

"I understand." Lin Lichuan nodded slightly.

If the unification of Black Flame Island really touches the bottom line of Marco and the Zhou family, and the two sides abandon their conflicts and join forces to deal with the Black Flame Council, they will definitely not let him and Sei Lingting go.

"However, what does this have to do with the deal you mentioned earlier?"

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

Lin Lichuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, showing that you were joking.

The reason why the Black Flame Council fell into the current situation is not because even the unified Black Flame Island and the Black Flame Council cannot resist the joint efforts of Marco and the Zhou family?

Could adding him change the extremely unfavorable situation?

Through the mask, Sue seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and patiently explained: "Of course I don't want you to confront the Tania Empire and the Zhou family head-on, it's not realistic, I just want you to help solve a few key issues." figure."

"The key person?" Lin Lichuan laughed for a while, "Marco must be the key person, but he is the emperor of the empire. What is the difference between fighting him and fighting against the Tania Empire?"

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

Lin Lichuan's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Sue. Hearing these words, the latter obviously knew his true identity.

But after thinking about it, this is actually not unexpected. After all, when he first came to Heiyan Island, he had searched everywhere for Lin Zhenyi's whereabouts. Identity is not difficult.

What shocked him was the news that Marco was seriously ill. As a result, the battle for the throne within the empire might become intense.

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

"Brocker." Sue replied bluntly, "Although we have been expelled these years, we still have some network resources in the empire. The empire no longer puts pressure on Black Flame Island."

"What about Zhou's family?"

"Similarly, the only thing I'm afraid of in the Zhou family is the Huiyue Knight in their family, and the rest are nothing to be afraid of."
