Narses sided with Alice, which surprised and angered Conrad.
But this made Charlemagne very pleased. The young commander was no longer so stubborn and he had accepted this ally who fought alongside him.
But when he asked about the ritual that Alice was about to start, Charlemagne was a little confused. Alice needed a hundred girls under the age of fifteen to use their lives to complete a curse ritual to weaken Reggie Victor's witchcraft.
technique.
The reason why she had this idea was because she received intelligence from the guards. This intelligence had not been processed in any way. It was completely the original text written by the guards. It recorded many meaningless things, such as Reggie and Nata.
However, one thing caught Alice's attention. Reggie was afraid of little girls, especially those under the age of fifteen.
Alice has heard an ancient legend that the blood of a hundred girls can dissolve the witchcraft of the Hades wizard. If Reggie is really the Hades wizard, this should be Reggie's fatal weakness.
Let's go back a hundred years and return to the glorious imperial era. This matter will become very simple. People believe in the power of witchcraft. In order to win the war, they use human beings to sacrifice and weaken the opponent's wizards. This is completely reasonable and reasonable.
choice.
But the situation now is different. Just after Alice finished speaking her thoughts, Prince Perion stood up directly.
"Your Majesty, I think I heard you correctly? This evil witch wants to use the blood of a hundred girls to complete her evil witchcraft?"
Even the White Wolf King couldn't stand listening: "We may do this to the enemy, but if I were asked to hand over our own girl to the wizard, I would not do it even if I was crazy."
This is the change brought about by the Middle Ages. People's beliefs have changed significantly. Some people believe in ancient polytheism, and some believe in the only God. But they all hate wizards and witchcraft, and let a hundred girls fight for witchcraft.
Dedicating one's life to art has seriously challenged the bottom line of most people.
The White Wolf King will not interfere with Charlemagne's decision, but Prince Perrine's attitude is very clear. If Charlemagne really wants to sacrifice a hundred girls for a witch, the Golden Eagle Kingdom will immediately withdraw from this war, otherwise they will be punished.
Moral condemnation may even lead to punishment from the heavenly punishment.
The meeting was temporarily suspended, and Charlemagne was in a dilemma. He could not lose a valuable ally, but he also did not want to miss the opportunity to win.
Conrad met Charlemagne alone and gave his advice.
"Your Majesty, I support your cautious attitude, but I don't think we need to pay an exorbitant price for some uncertain factors."
"Did the uncertain factors you mentioned refer to Viscount Windsor's witchcraft?" Charlemagne frowned, "I think she has proven her strength more than once. She once almost killed Reggie Victor.
.”
"I have never denied Viscount Windsor's strength, but she only talked about weakening it and did not promise to completely defeat Reggie Victor. As a wizard, Reggie Victor's witchcraft is far superior to hers. This is for us.
Uncertainty."
Charlemagne remained silent. Judging from these words alone, there was nothing wrong with Conrad's statement. Alice was not absolutely sure of defeating Reggie, which was indeed an uncertain factor.
Conrad continued: "But there are some things we can already determine. Our allies won consecutive battles in the naval battle. They destroyed the port of Shattered Snow City. Reggie Victor didn't even have the courage to fight back. If we
Leaving allies for Viscount Windsor's witchcraft is equivalent to replacing certain factors with uncertain factors, and such a price is obviously not worth it."
Charlemagne thought for a long time and said: "If we make the matter a little more secretive, and it's just a matter of catching a hundred little girls, I think Prince Perion may not know the truth."
Conrad shook his head and said: "According to Viscount Windsor's idea, we must postpone the dispatch of troops for one day. Perion will make some speculations based on this. He will even directly take away the fleet of the Golden Eagle Kingdom. You should know very well that the Punisher
Despite their high status in the Golden Eagle Country, they will not take risks for this, and we should not let our allies take risks."
Charlemagne sighed and said: "This is our own business, what right do they have to interfere? If according to the ancient law of Zingestan, as the king of a country, I can do whatever I want with my people, my people
And you are willing to make sacrifices for me!"
Charlemagne also read a lot of history, and he had a strong interest in ancient Eastern cultures. It was obvious that in these Eastern cultures, the monarch had more power.
"Unfortunately, Your Majesty, this is not Qingestan. We must follow the rules of the mainland," Conrad sighed, "Besides, we don't need to worry about this matter. The Golden Eagle Kingdom has an invincible fleet, and we have an invincible fleet."
Warrior, there will be no suspense in this war, Broken Snow City will eventually be completely wiped out on the mainland."
The last words completely moved Charlemagne. Since there is no possibility of failure in this war, there is no need to take into account all factors. In the end, Charlemagne decided not to adopt Alice's suggestion and still decided to send troops two days later.
Perion was very satisfied with Charlemagne's choice, and Alice did not raise any objections.
To be honest, this result is better than taking her advice. If Charlemagne wins, everyone will naturally have credit, and even if the battle fails, Alice can stay out of it.
The reason is simple. Since you didn't adopt my suggestion, you can't hold me accountable.
Charlemagne's tactics were very simple. He allocated 10,000 troops, led by Prince Perion, to land from the sea and attack Syracuse.
Another 10,000 troops, led by Narses, set off from the widest road to attack Shattering Snow City. On this road, they will be blocked by the No. 5 sentry tower.
For the sake of safety, Charlemagne asked Alice to lead all the wizards to form a team to support Narses at any time. He originally wanted to form a wizard army, and it seemed that these more than fifty wizards could finally be put to use.
After making a battle plan, everyone went to prepare for the battle. Narses caught up with Alice and whispered: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help you."
Alice smiled and said: "Don't say such silly things. Everything you just did made me extremely happy and touched."
"I will go on an expedition in two days. I really want to be with you..."
"It's not like we can't meet again," Alice said with a smile, "Don't forget, I'm your backup and I'm always at your disposal."
"What I want to say is, can you tonight..."
Alice blocked Narses' mouth with her lips and said softly: "My general, you may not understand what it means to obey orders at any time."
Narses smiled. He originally wanted to be intimate with Alice for a while, but found Conrad standing in the distance waving to him.
Narses touched Alice's cheek and had to say goodbye to her temporarily. After following Conrad to his residence, Conrad drove away the attendants and hit Narses hard in return.
slap.
"I warned you not to get close to that witch, why didn't you listen to my advice!"
Narses remained silent after being beaten, but his body was shaking violently.
He is the commander-in-chief of the army of the Lion Kingdom. In his opinion, no one except the king has the right to slap him in the face.
Conrad noticed the young man's anger. He tried his best to soften his tone and smiled at Narses: "My son, when this war is over, I guarantee that all the girls in the Lion Kingdom will be willing to throw themselves into your arms."
hug."
Narses remained silent. Alice meant more to him than just a beautiful girl.
She knew his dream and the efforts he made for it. She never had the slightest doubt about the great achievements he would create in the future. She liked everything about Narses. In her eyes, Narses
He is always the most perfect man in the world. She is even willing to work with other witches to please herself, but she has never been jealous at all. In her world, Narses is the real king.
It is impossible to speculate on Alice's true thoughts, but at least Narses thinks so. Conrad compared her with those vulgar women, which undoubtedly angered Narses even more.
But Gnar's face didn't show it, because Conrad still held the most important bargaining chip in his hand, a team of 300 gunmen.
He has told lies a hundred times, but he cannot fool himself. On one point, Narses is more sober than Alice. He knows what he said, including bravely showing off his sword, including turning from a princess into a lion.
It's all worthless nonsense. What the soldiers lack is not courage, but a weapon that can rival the enemy.
Conrad handed over his firegun team to Narses, and they demonstrated the combat process live.
They also held a long-barreled musket in their hands, but the structure of this musket was very simple. It was the most primitive front-loaded musket. Black powder and projectiles were loaded from the muzzle of the musket. There was a flint and a flint at the end of the barrel.
A ram hits the flint, the flint ignites the black powder, and the black powder sprays out the projectiles. The remaining work is to clean the gun chamber, charge the gun, and prepare for the next attack.
In terms of power and persistence of attack, this single-shot firecracker cannot be compared with the revolving musket. But Conrad was full of confidence in this new weapon. He organized the team into three squads. The first squad
After completing the shooting, return to the back of the team to reload ammunition, the second team will step forward to shoot, and the third team will prepare for the attack. This cycle can maintain the continuity of the attack.
Of course, the prerequisite for ensuring victory is to fight Reggie on flat ground. If the enemy has been hiding in the guard tower, the firecracker will not be able to exert its power. Therefore, Conrad repeatedly told Narses: "No matter what the cost,
