Chapter 113: The Torristine Kingdom in Critical Situation
Queen Toristin had begun to feel uneasy because she could not contact the Toristin air force at the border.
Although she didn't want to believe that what Wood said was true, she simply couldn't afford to gamble.
If things were to go as Wood expected, their Torristine defense strength would not be enough to withstand Albion's army.
The country's national strength is not as good as the opponent's in the first place. If the defense is lax, it is more likely that the opponent will drive straight into the capital.
"Marshal Gramont, regardless of whether this is true or not, you must immediately summon all the generals in the kingdom and your own soldiers to garrison the harbor of Toristin.
If everything is just a false alarm, treat it as a military exercise, but if it is true..."
If the matter is true, Queen Tristin herself has no idea what to do next.
If Albion had planned this for a long time, Torristine would not be able to mobilize enough troops from various regions of the kingdom to resist the opponent's offensive in a short period of time.
Now the Queen only hopes that all this is just a false alarm, but as a female, her intuition tells her that this time things will not be that simple.
"Your name is Wood, right? You said you have the ability to predict, and you saw that the civil strife in Albion was caused by the mastermind behind it. Do you know who the mastermind behind it is?"
Queen Toristin would ask this, which already shows that she has initially believed what Wood said.
Regarding the Queen's inquiry, Wood did not deliberately conceal it. After all, after realizing that his strength was enough to dominate this world, Wood did not need to take so much care. Now he just wants to return to the original world after reaping the benefits.
"Has Her Majesty the Queen ever heard of the successors of the Void? The so-called Void is the magic used by the ancestor Brimir. It is said that there are four descendants who have inherited his magic.
The familiars of these four successors of nothingness are also called the left hand of God, the right hand of God, the heart of God, and the mind of God.
The one causing trouble in Albion this time is the God's Head Mysnitron. With the ability to use any magic item, the opponent first controlled some members of the Albion royal family and made them kill each other.
After taking full control of the Albion Kingdom, Yu opened Albion's treasure house and obtained a large number of other magic items.
Therefore, the enemies attacking Torristin this time may not only be Albion’s soldiers, but also many powerful monsters summoned by him using magic items.”
The power of Misnitron does not require any cost to use magic items, including the consumption of magic power.
The heritage of a kingdom is beyond imagination, and Sheffield is completely able to use this magic item to gather its huge power in a short period of time.
It can also be seen that under certain specific conditions, the power of God's Mind is more suitable for team battles than other legendary familiars.
"It's actually nothingness and the legendary familiar... So as a familiar, and you have this incredible power, is it also..."
"Yes, I am indeed one of the legendary familiars, the Heart of God named Reeves Rashel.
But unfortunately, as my contractor, Your Highness Henrietta, she is not the successor of nothingness. I am also very puzzled about this.
Maybe there are two hearts of gods, and I am just one of them?"
Naturally, Queen Toristin also knew about the ancestor Brimir and "The Void", and even the Toristin royal family even circulated a magic book recording the magic of the void.
It's just that the magic above cannot be seen by ordinary people and cannot be used, so the royal family has always believed that it is just a legend.
Not many people know about the legends about "The Void" and their demons, because these things are only spread in some ancient books and among the royal families of a few kingdoms.
Wood's ability to know in such detail further convinced Queen Tristin of what the other party said.
"I don't care if Henrietta is the rumored successor to the void, but I have a request to entrust you with.
This request is not made to you as Queen Tristine, but as a mother's request.
You are the legendary familiar, and you have such a powerful power, so if Tristin is really unable to protect her, can you take my place and protect the child Henrietta?"
Because of Wood's reminder, Toristin may be able to make some preparations in advance.
However, Queen Toristin was actually not sure at all whether she could win this battle.
Albion's dragon knight force is the strongest in the continent of Halkekinia, and coupled with the army of monsters summoned by magic items, Toristin is honestly no match at all.
As the queen of a country, she represents the will of the entire kingdom, so even if she dies in battle, she cannot retreat. But Henrietta is different. She is still a child and does not need to wait with her to die.
"Because as the sole heir of the kingdom, and because her father died early, I was very strict with her since she was a child, which resulted in Henrietta's childhood being very lonely.
Now she has just experienced the grief of the death of her engagement partner. There is really not much I can do for her. Now I can only ask you as a mother to protect my daughter."
Obviously, there is a huge disparity between the forces of Toristin and Albion. In the absence of other reinforcements, the Queen feels that their chances of winning are really slim, so now the Queen hopes that Wood can take Henrietta and run away as soon as possible.
Even though she is a queen, she is still a mother in the final analysis, and no parent in the world wants their children to do well.
While instructing Wood, the Queen even took out a key from her chest, indicating that it was the key to the kingdom's treasury, and asked Wood and the others to get some treasure for future living before running away.
As for why the Queen trusted Wood so much and even entrusted her only daughter to him, in the final analysis, it was because Wood was Enrietta's familiar.
Once a familiar contract is signed with each other, the familiar will not betray, and the relationship between the two is far more reliable than that of lovers or even relatives.
Looking at the queen who looked like a lone figure, Henrietta, who was still in a state of shock, finally came to her senses at this time.
Compared to Wales, who was just an engagement partner whom she met several times when they were children, if her mother died, it would obviously be more unacceptable to Henrietta.
"If my mother doesn't leave, then I won't go at all. Anyway, I have nothing to lose now!"
Having just lost her lover, and now she was asked to abandon her mother and run away on her own, this was something that clearly couldn't be accepted by Henrietta.
This was also the first time she had refuted her mother head-on, and her attitude was quite firm.
