In the Winter Lion City, the ice emitted a cold light.
There was a lot of noise at the entrance of the palace.
Several well-dressed people were being driven out of the hall by the royal guards and card masters. An old man with white hair and beard suddenly struggled to break away from the guards, stumbled into the hall, dropped his knees to the throne, and shouted:
"Lion King, this is really a misunderstanding. Our Heavenly Holy Empire will definitely find the bishop and give Winter Lion an explanation. It will be difficult to reverse the war again. Lion King, think twice."
Seeing this, several others also broke away from the guards and shouted together: "Dear Lion King! This accident was actually caused by deteriorating energy. Our Tiansheng Empire did not know about it. Now that the threat is getting stronger, the two countries cannot go to war.
Ah! Our emperor is willing to negotiate...Your Majesty!"
In the middle of the royal court is a throne. There is no one on it, but a huge ice statue with a male lion prostrate on the throne.
The sun shines in through the window, and the solid ice reflects the colorful light, which is really beautiful.
Under the royal court, there is a precious carpet, which is a whole map of Winter Lion. At this moment, character cards are placed on their own territory.
"Get out!" An old but majestic voice came from behind the solid ice statue.
The guards once again stepped forward and pulled the old man and several envoys out, only to hear the voice of "Think twice!" getting farther and farther away.
Everything became calm, and a few coughs sounded from behind the ice statue.
Above the main hall, there was a burst of magic power, and a masked figure came out.
Bowed towards the ice.
"Father, with all due respect, I share the same view as the other lords. The threat of deteriorating energy is increasing day by day, so a war will begin at this time..."
"Short-sighted!"
The King of Winter Lions is very old, but his voice is still full of vitality.
"This battle must be fought if not fought. This is the last and best opportunity. Do you know that the gods have returned? Countries in the mainland have major expansion packs. When the time comes, the divine card masters of each expansion pack will appear again.
We are competing all over the world, but our country only has 3/4 of [Greek Mythology], are we waiting to die?"
"Father, this is just a ridiculous prophecy... The Heavenly Saint promised to compensate us for the rest of [Greek Mythology] this time..." Before the masked man finished speaking, Winter Lion
The king interrupted him.
"What I want is [Bible Mythology]! Will they give it to me?!" The ice trembled.
The mask concealed a hint of strange color.
"Father..."
"I don't have much time left, and I even have to rely on ice sculptures to freeze my age. In the remaining days, I will move forward bravely. The biggest change is approaching. Taking the [Bible] is just the first step. As long as I live, I, the Royal Knight of Winter Lion, will definitely drink from the horse."
Along the Nile River, our card makers will reshape the [Egyptian Pyramid], our battle flag will be planted on the top of the highest temple in [Maya], and the Invincible Fleet will break into the indescribable storm area of [Cthulhu]! And
You will be crowned king!" The sonorous voice echoed in the hall.
"I see......."
"Close all card network interfaces and prohibit any country's mission from entering or leaving the country at this time. We have at least three months of war."
"Yes!" The masked man was about to exit the hall.
"By the way, how are the polls?"
"In the Five Domains War, the dead heroes were real, the dean fell into a coma, and Miss Fana's return speech completely detonated public opinion. 56% of the people supported an immediate all-out war, 21% supported a punishment war, and 9%
of people support economic blockade."
"All official promotional resources have been tilted towards this aspect during this period."
"But Father, the central army is ready to go, but the attitudes of the major territories, except for the Ghost Family, are very vacillating. Each territory has various reasons, the most important of which is the threat of deteriorating energy." The masked man pondered.
The hall fell into silence for a moment.
On the Winter Lion map, characters stuck in various territories keep flashing.
"I have a way to make them do it." The voice came from the ice lion again.
"What can Father do?"
"According to my secret information, the deceased card master's name was Lu Cheng. He was not even from our Winter Lion. He may have originally belonged to the Tiansheng Empire and was an illegal immigrant. He had no relatives or friends and lived on the border of Winter Lion City for three years.
.”
"What?!" The masked man was shocked.
"Ghost Fleet has confirmed that there is indeed nothing on the local sea surface. According to the testimonies of thousands of students, he overloaded the deck and died together with [Apostle]."
"That?" The masked man didn't know what the Lion King on the throne wanted to say.
"A dead man with no relatives, what is his identity?" The Lion King's voice became a little elusive, but the masked man seemed to understand.
"Father, do you mean that we forge Lu Cheng's identity?"
"What forgery?!" came the Lion King's voice.
Then, an ice crystal instantly fell on a location on the map, and the masked man followed it.
"This...is this?"
"The lord of Dongyue Province disappeared three years ago and is now under the direct jurisdiction of the central government. In recent years, many people have been interested in doing so."
"Father, isn't that place completely penetrated by the deteriorating energy? Did Lord Canglang die in battle...? I even saw Lord Canglang's body with my own eyes..."
"No, he just died in battle recently, Lord Dongyue Canglang Lu Cheng, didn't he?" There was no trace of emotion in the Lion King's voice.
The masked man took a step back, took a deep breath, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
"Do you understand?" The Lion King's voice suddenly became high-pitched: "This battle in the Tiansheng Empire actually caused the death of our country's lord-level nobles. According to the Kingdom's code, what should we do?"
"The kingdom's code states that a lord-level card master dies in battle, and the whole country declares mourning. All legions immediately respond and enter a state of all-out war, under central command..." the masked man murmured.
"Well said, here comes the order to mourn the whole country. Three years ago, the lone hero and Lord Dongyue Lu Cheng sneaked into Tiansheng to perform his mission. After returning to the country, he became anonymous. During the Five Realms War, he turned the tide and bravely defeated the Seventh Apostle. Now he is posthumously named
, Prince Xiaoyao of the Winter Lion, the fiefdom will be retained forever and will not be replaced by hereditary inheritance!" The scale of the decree echoed in the main hall.
"Keep it forever..." the masked man muttered in a low voice, and then looked excited: "Wonderful...! Father, it's so wonderful! He has no relatives, no reason, and he is dead. In name,
The territory belongs to him, but in fact it will always belong to the central government! No one can make plans there anymore!"
"Okay, let's go down and do it." The old voice returned to calmness.
"Father, I would like to take care of the Dongyue Territory on behalf of King Xiaoyao and share the worries of the central government!" The masked man suddenly bowed.
"Oh? Dongyue is rich in products, but the penetration of deteriorating energy is extremely serious. At the same time, under the harsh rule of the former lord, people are resentful. You..." The Lion King did not refuse directly.
"Father, this can be considered as a training for me!"
