The empire calls itself orthodox.

But in fact, due to the inheritance relationship between the empire and the ancient Dinar Empire, it is not very legally binding.

Therefore, the empire that calls itself the Dinar Empire is not widely recognized.

Everyone just calls the empire "Empire" instead of calling it the Dinar Empire.

But no matter what, there is no doubt about the power of the empire.

Most human countries are also in a secular lord system with the empire as the core, even the Iron Hill Kingdom where Flynn is located.

An envoy from the empire conveyed the empire's opinions.

That is, according to some broken treaty signed hundreds of years ago, the Iron Hill Kingdom's sphere of influence should not exceed the line of the Grand Duchy in the river.

And now with Flynn's large army entering the Grand Duchy of the River in large numbers, it can even be said that the Grand Duchy of the River has become a vassal state of the Iron Hill Kingdom.

As the Iron Qiu Kingdom's sphere of influence expanded, the corresponding empire's sphere of influence shrank.

Although even the Iron Hill Kingdom and the Grand Duchy of River, combined, are not as big as a little finger of the empire.

But since its establishment, the empire has always paid great attention to maintaining the so-called order, which is actually maintaining their ruling system.

The rise of any other country, even if it is only a small step in the rise process, is deeply feared by the empire.

And it constantly suppresses other countries through diplomatic or military means, making the empire always unique. The strongest human country in the entire continent is also the strongest country in the entire continent.

In short, the empire attaches great importance to the current human world order system and does not allow emerging countries to expand their sphere of influence.

War can be fought, but what should be done after the war is over? Annexation is usually not allowed-unless you can come up with a legally recognized legal document.

This is an obvious act to suppress other countries, but it is supported by many small and medium-sized countries.

In addition, the so-called maintenance of peace and maintenance of the existing order has a certain degree of justice in itself.

The words you say are high-sounding and sound very nice.

Therefore, the ruling system with the empire as its core has always been able to be maintained.

Previously, Flynn was also very clear that his actions in forcing Caracalla II to go into exile through civil war had already aroused dissatisfaction in the empire.

It's just that the empire doesn't have a good excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of a normal human country.

Therefore, the empire did not express support and took in some exiles without actually intervening.

But it was obvious that now, with his tentacles, he was extending his arms into the Grand Duchy in the middle of the river.

This behavior touched the sensitive nerves of the empire. Now the empire sent envoys to warn itself and asked itself to evacuate its troops from the Grand Duchy of River.

So can Flynn agree?

If he disagrees and makes the empire angry, can Flynn afford it?

One thing to say is that Flynn really doesn’t want to mess with the Empire.

Although the Empire is a stumbling block on Flynn's path forward, this enemy is too powerful. Before he fully develops his own strength and becomes invincible, Flynn does not want to provoke such a powerful enemy as the Empire.

Not to mention actually attracting the imperial army to attack, even if the empire sends some of his servant countries, it will be enough to worry Flynn.

Flynn, you don’t want to play a tower defense game!

But can Flynn choose to be cowardly?

Can you spit it out in the river after eating it?

If Flynn was an ordinary and normal indigenous lord, then Flynn would definitely not dare to confront the empire head-on.

At most, it will be damaged at the back, and it cannot be as close to hard steel as it is now.

Normal lords, when faced with the Empire's accusations, would generally obey the Empire's instructions, but they would never dare to truly disobey the Empire's instructions.

Especially on the part of the empire, their request for the Iron Hill Kingdom to withdraw from the Grand Duchy of Riverside was somewhat righteous.

With great righteousness, the difficulty of many things will drop dramatically.

But Flynn is not a normal lord.

Flynn, who is also a game designer, has things he must do.

That is - it must develop, it must open up more space, and continuously expand the game area to accommodate more brave people.

It is necessary to open up more fronts, more adventure areas, expand one's own territory, and create employment opportunities to meet the needs of the infinitely growing players.

Flynn can only move forward and cannot stop. He must expand steadily and at a high speed at any cost!

Otherwise, the game "Superman Chronicles 2" will fall into version stagnation, just like an online game on earth that will not be updated for several months or two.

A game that is not updated is a game that has no future.

Flynn needs to make "Superman Chronicles 2" like a normal online game by constantly opening new maps, which means constantly updating the game version.

The updates of online games cannot be stopped, which means that Flynn's expansion cannot be stopped either.

During this period, Flynn's expansion direction was the Grand Duchy of the River and the underground city beneath the Grand Duchy of the River.

In the next period of time, Flynn is likely to develop his power in other, more distant countries and promote the scope of his players' activities.

There is no doubt that this will offend the empire.

But there’s nothing you can do about it—it will happen sooner or later.

Flynn didn't want to mess with the Empire, but he was fully mentally prepared.

That's it.

So Flynn politely responded to the request from the imperial envoy, and explained that he did not intend to invade, or expand his sphere of influence, to the Grand Duchy of Riverside.

Mainly the Grand Duchy of Riverside, which is now in dire straits and facing huge threats from the underground world.

As the protector of the Iron Hill Kingdom, I have reasons and obligations to help my friendly neighbors and help them deal with the invasion of the underground world.

And Flynn also said: "Of course, I know that the empire is actually preparing troops and sending them to help our respectable friend the Grand Duchy of Riverside."

"But after all, the empire is relatively far away, and my troops have already been prepared and mobilized quickly."

"You know, brave men, they are always very active."

"So I can't stop my troops now. I want my millions of braves to quickly put down the invasion of the underground world."

"After all, if this matter is settled one day later, the people of the Grand Duchy of Hezhong will suffer one more day of casualties. My friend, the Grand Duke of the Grand Duke of Hezhong, will be able to sleep peacefully one day later!"

"As the most powerful prince in this area, I am also in charge of an army of millions of brave men. If I can't help my friends, then I will be very sad - for our friends and our people! "
