"You mean those Leprechauns want us to help them restore their nation? And then unify the entire Lilliput continent?" Bivis sat quietly in the restaurant, listening to the outcome of Bai Yujing's trip.
Bai Yujing nodded, "That's right. The entire Lilliput has become a city-state nation due to the extinction of the previous royal Brand Family. The nobles are fighting among themselves, with no overarching authority. However, they have temporarily united against the strong enemy, the Blavisk Empire."
"The lord of Pus City, Lord Pus, hopes that we can support Alice Lutus to become the new Empress of Lilliput and defeat the Blavisk Empire, which split off a thousand years ago, to unify the entire continent!"
Bivis pondered for a moment, "So what do we gain from this? It doesn't sound like an easy task. After all the effort and risks we take, what will we get in return?"
Bai Yujing replied, "Rod Pus said that we can make any demands we want when the time comes; he will fulfill them. However, he wants to become the Chancellor once Alice Lutus becomes Empress!"
Bivis couldn't help but laugh, "These Leprechauns are quite interesting. They start making demands even before things have begun. They want to take all the good things for themselves. Why should we? We only need some supplies; we could easily gather them from a couple of Leprechaun cities. The only trouble is coal; I wonder if this island has any."
At this moment, Hank spoke up, "I think we still need many things, such as these Leprechauns' historical texts and cultural knowledge. For us, they are a valuable treasure!"
Hearing this, Bivis was intrigued: "Perhaps they know something about the Island of Life and the Fountain of Youth? If they use that information as a trade-off, it wouldn't be bad."
To be honest, everyone present didn't take this matter seriously. Even if there were tiny people no bigger than a finger, what could they really do? The key question was whether it was worth it and how troublesome it would be!
Bai Yujing thought for a moment: "If I follow my plan, it shouldn't take more than two or three days for us to unify the entire continent. Shen Fei is still in Pus City. Once we reach an agreement here, I can have him inform Rod Pus to prepare his troops immediately and head to Lilliput's capital, where several major noble city-states are stationed. As long as we occupy that place and leverage Alice Truce's royal lineage, we can command all of Lilliput to surrender."
"Then we can have them gather their armies while we lead our forces for a night raid on the Blavisk Empire, directly surrounding their imperial capital and capturing their emperor. The remaining matters will be handled by these Leprechauns."
"........................"
After Bai Yujing finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room. Emma couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this a bit childish?"
Bai Yujing shrugged, "What do you think? It's really that simple. By the way, I also brought a flintlock pistol from the Leprechaun. Give it a try!"
Bai Yujing picked up the toothpick-like flintlock pistol and gently pulled the trigger with a piece of wire from the keychain. There was a clear bang, and Bai Yujing felt a slight sting in his finger, leaving a white mark that quickly healed.
"This is the Leprechaun's pistol. It has no effect on us at all; there's nothing here that can harm us. At that time, Lemuel Gulliver came here alone and defeated the entire Blavisk Empire by himself, then exiled the royal Lotus Family of the Lilliput Kingdom and supported the Brand Family to become the new royalty. Everyone regarded him as a Messenger of the gods, just like a true deity. For him, this place was like a playground!"
"So everyone, don't be too nervous; this is as easy as pie for us."
After hearing what Bai Yujing said, Bivis and Hank whispered to each other. Hank had already supported Bai Yujing's plan, and these few words swayed Bivis as well. Bivis nodded, "Since Bai supports this plan as the leader and most members don't oppose it, I naturally agree as well. It won't take much time and isn't dangerous."
The meeting regarding the entire Lilliput continent ended rather hastily. However, later records in the royal library of the Lilliput Kingdom referred to this meeting as the Conference of the Gods, detailing how the gods discussed saving the entire continent and decided that the great bloodline of the Lotus Family would inherit the throne, ruling the entire continent as a divine decree.
Bai Yujing picked up the walkie-talkie and informed Shen Fei on the other end that they agreed to the plan. Shen Fei immediately put down the walkie-talkie and made an "OK" gesture to Alice standing on the city wall. Being very familiar with humans, Alice instantly understood that Bai Yujing and his group had passed their plan to support her in becoming the queen of Lilliput.
Alice appeared both excited and anxious; she never expected that just a trip back home would lead to this outcome. Her own Lotus Family turned out to be part of Lilliput's royal lineage, and it was historically one of the purest bloodlines—much more legitimate than both the Blavisk Empire's royalty and the Brand Family—and still very popular in Lilliput.
After feeling nervous for a moment, Alice immediately looked at Rod Pus, who had been standing behind her. Rod Pus knelt on one knee: "Please give your orders, Your Majesty!"
"The giants have decided to help us restore our country through a meeting. Lord Pus, I now command you to mobilize the army immediately; tomorrow we will set off for the capital to wage a war to unify Lilliput." Although Alice was still just a nominal queen at this point, her words carried some authority. However, tightly gripping Kaka's hand revealed her inner fear and anxiety.
But thinking about it, she had giants standing behind her—those giants not only possessed immense size and strength but also wielded terrifying weapons. For them, these Leprechauns were not much different from deities.
Rod Pus seriously performed a set of formalities: "I will immediately go and gather the troops!"
As he stood up and walked down from the city wall, Rod Pus became extremely excited. He was just a viscount, and due to his defeat, he might even lose that title. If he could seize this opportunity, he could become the Chancellor of Lilliput, not just any Chancellor, but the Chancellor of a new Lilliput, a super kingdom that unified the entire continent. His Pus Family would leap to become the most powerful family!
However, at this moment, his fate was already tied to Alice. He could see that these giants were willing to help because of Alice, and he also needed her royal lineage. It seemed only natural for Alice to ascend as queen in everyone's eyes, while he? He was just a fallen noble from the countryside!
But this had already exceeded his expectations. Success or failure hinged on this one gamble. He immediately said to his aide beside him, "Go down right now and prepare a set of imperial clothing, a crown, and a scepter, as well as the queen's guard and attendants, all according to the highest standards!"
"Lick, you are now the captain of Her Majesty's guard, responsible for Her Majesty's safety. You must protect Her Majesty at all costs!" Rod Pus instructed the nearby soldier Lick.
Lick stood up straight, feeling as if he were dreaming. The captain of Her Majesty's guard? My goodness, I can't believe I can touch such a position. Am I dreaming?
"Yes, My Lord Viscount!"
"Hehe, from now on you should call me Your Excellency, Chancellor!"
