"The Kingdom of Ethelisi is a vassal state of the Holy Glorious Empire and a neighbor. Now the Kingdom of Ethelisi is close to us. Once the Kingdom of Ethelisi is destroyed, we will face those monsters. At this time, we will not only not be able to take the opportunity to occupy the Kingdom of Ethelisi, but we need to strongly support the Kingdom of Ethelisi regime, so that they can do their best to defend the land and prevent those guys from affecting our territory." Arnold IV pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King, it's about the safety of my Thorn Kingdom."

"Yes, it's about justice - we are fighting for the future of the Kingdom of Thorns, not simply for the position of the Kingdom of Ethelis," Arnold IV said lightly, "Grand Duke Sparo, what's the order in the rear?"

"Everything is stable, Your Highness, no need to worry," said Grand Duke Sparrow, "only letters sent out to worry about spies from the Kingdom of Ethelis - those abyss...the monsters are advancing at an alarming speed, and his descriptions in the letter are exaggerated, and I don't even know if I should believe those statements."

Arnold IV was a little curious: "What did the spy say in the letter?"

"…those monsters may destroy the 10th Legion of the Kingdom of Ethelis in one day, and tomorrow they will destroy the 9th Eighth Legion."

"…The spy you have cultivated doesn't seem to be someone who likes exaggeration."

"They really don't like exaggeration, your majesty."

"Then I would rather believe him," said Arnold IV. "If it was really as the spies described, the monster of the abyss would seem a little scary."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although the legions of the Kingdom of Ethelis are all wastes, the abyss monsters are advancing a little too fast. Could it be that those wastes are just about to collapse at a touch?"

"Your Majesty, should we send our army to assist the Kingdom of Ethelisi as soon as possible?"

Arnold IV nodded slightly: "Please pay more attention to this matter. The affairs of the Kingdom of Ethelis are really important! For the time being, we will send three elite legions and five regular legions, and you will personally command and command."

After a moment, Grand Duke Sparrow left the tower, leaving only Arnold IV standing alone on the platform at the top of the mail tower, quietly standing in the wind.

However, the next second, a voice came into his ears: "You are such a wise ruler and respected king of thorns."

Arnold IV seemed to have been waiting for this voice. He turned his head calmly and looked at the brazier not far behind him. He watched a figure gradually condense into the brazier. He watched the figure walk to the ground and transform into a woman wearing a black hooded robe, with a lower body as strange and terrifying as a ghost, as if it were a ghost, he nodded coldly: "You are here, Lord Lililina."

"You seem to be getting more and more mature." The woman in the hooded robe called Lililina moved her ghostly figure and floated in the air, with a hint of mocking in her voice, "It's so mature... I saw you last time, you seemed to be only three years old."

"I don't need to debate with you on such issues. The relationship between me and you has not yet reached this level," Arnold IV's voice became colder. "My ancestors of the Thorn Kingdom promised your Gulferrona Empire's request, and only promised to help you restore your Gulferrona Empire's glory in the future, but this does not mean that I need to compromise with you elsewhere, and at the cost you must be loyal to the bloodline of my ancestors!"

"I'm not interested in you," the woman named Lililina chuckled, "It's you, you originally wanted to massacre the little dragon, but now you want to occupy the Kingdom of Ethelis, but now you are suddenly ruined... Are you not sorry?"

Arnold IV raised the sheathed one-handed sword in his hand in silence, pointing the tip of the sword to the throat of the woman in front of him. In the air between the sword and the throat, black cracks spread like life: "If you die here, will anyone regret you?"

"Put this toy away, and playing it on the battlefield is better than threatening women here," Lililina lightly pushed away the one-handed sword in front of her with her hands. "I'm here to remind you that, Your Majesty, there's not much time left--if you want to leave a place for the Kingdom of Thorns in the New Era, it's better to make a decision as soon as possible."

Arnold IV stared into Lililina's eyes: "I have no interest in your crazy proposal, nor do I care about your theory. Even if the so-called new era really exists, the people of the Thorn Kingdom will have their own way of living, so you don't need to worry about it."

Lililina looked at Arnold IV quietly for a while, then shook her head and walked slowly back to the burning brazier: "It's such an impressive speech, but it doesn't matter. We still have a little time, you still have time... to make a choice. By the way, the little dragon you gave me has been transformed into a dragon of the undead. I believe that he will definitely contribute to you next time he meets. Its soul is a cunning soul. I am very satisfied with it.

Actually, I am very puzzled. Why don’t you accept my proposal? Is it not good to become a lich? With an eternal lifespan, you can rule your thorn kingdom forever, and I can also rebuild the Gulferrona Empire..."

...

In many cases, the so-called "choice" is just an illusion, a carefully disguised fact, placed in front of the person who makes the choice, so that the chooser can have a illusion that the situation belongs to his own control, or let the powerless person slightly cover up his embarrassment.

In the palace hall of the Ethelisi capital, the most powerful nobles of the Ethelisi Kingdom were still discussing enthusiastically. These famous families expressed their views on the situation in the kingdom, using various theories, allusions and arguments to prove that their accuracy in their judgment of the situation, and proved that every word they said was for the bright future of the kingdom. However, the king of the Ethelisi Kingdom, who was sitting on the long table, was very clear that these discussions and words were just paving the way for a conclusion that could be drawn without discussion.

"...We have successfully curbed those demons, we don't need to ask for help..."

"There are only five legions left in the kingdom!"

"But we have to consider the tension on the front line, we have to face a group of already crazy monsters..."

"From the long-term plan, long-term plan..."

Earl, Marquis, and military officials, spoke one after another, talking about the facts that anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance. The king of the Kingdom of Ethelis looked at this scene with a cold expression. She looked to the left and saw that the grand duke was as cold as she was. Several grand dukes of the Kingdom of Ethelis yawned a big yawn. The king looked to the right again and saw that the envoys from the elves sitting in the special seat not far away were looking at him with contempt and boredom.

——Due to the special situation, the Kingdom of Ethelis allowed foreigners to enter the scene to attend the noble meeting, but now it seems that friends from the elves do not understand some of the "rules" of human society.

The black leaf elves named Kaelin. Black Leaf blinked in the direction of His Majesty the King of Ethelisi. His lips moved a few times. The king heard the other party's voice ringing in his ears: "That's the question, why do they repeatedly emphasize for so long? This time, our Elf Queen sent us here not to listen to you chatting here. If necessary, we just send a message to tell you how terrible the enemies you face this time will be. At the same time, we will also help you to help you with allies as much as possible, but it is yours who really make the decision!"

His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Ethelis is a spellcaster. He helplessly mobilized his magic and sent his voice over: "Because there are some things that require great responsibility to be taken, and these 'good ministers' of mine don't want to take these responsibilities."

"We understand this, but they have discussed it for too long," Kaelin. Black Leaf's voice was still confused. "We elves can live for thousands of years, but in my opinion, your meetings are still a waste of time... Are these speakers' lifespans different from ordinary humans?"

King of the Kingdom of Ethelis: "…"

This question is a bit beyond his knowledge.

He shook his head and decided to end the time-wasting discussion, so he gently knocked on the table: "Gentlemen, ladies--it's time to come to a conclusion."

The buzzing discussion immediately stopped, and his eyes almost fell on the king and grand duke of the Kingdom of Ethelisi.

The king of the Kingdom of Ethelis sighed secretly: In the end, no one dared to say the only choice.

Well, I am the king, so let me, the king make this decision!

"The safety of the kingdom is not to be argued, but the fact is that now we must put this issue aside for the time being, those monsters must be placed in the focus, and we... must block those monsters on the front line, even if we exhaust the last copper plate and soldiers of the kingdom!."

A middle-aged nobleman with a slightly fat figure and meticulous hair care spoke at the right time, with a solemn expression on his face: "Your Majesty the King, what you said makes sense, but now we can't stop those monsters at all, and this kind of thing should be the responsibility of the Holy Glory Empire, right? But the Holy Glory Empire has not expressed any attitude yet. Now we will hand over the heavy responsibility of stopping these damn monsters to us, then..."

The king of the Kingdom of Ethelis glanced at the other party: "Earl Baqing, what do you mean is that you can temporarily deal with these monsters for me to ensure that the kingdom will not be damaged again?"

"…I mean, it would be better to do this according to His Majesty's will!"
