Alice only knew that Arisanne had returned with Charlemagne, but she did not expect that Arisian had unlocked Charlemagne's witchcraft, nor did she expect that Charlemagne would ignore the past grudges and even canonize Arisian as queen.
Charlemagne asked Alice to hold a coronation ceremony for Alexa, but Alice's mind went blank.
The Kingdom of Lane has not had an era of two kings. Other countries have had a history of two kings co-ruling, but that was at least more than a hundred years ago. Moreover, the two kings are usually brothers, and there has never been a situation of husband and wife co-ruling.
What's more, the relationship between Alice and Charlemagne has not yet been determined. Charlemagne has not canonized Alice as queen, and they are not even legally married.
In fact, there is no need to think about such a problem now. How to survive until the next second is what Alice should think about.
She had abused Charlemagne for a whole month, and it was a miracle that she could survive to this day.
Alice secretly glanced at Mutter. There were not many Lane soldiers left in the city. The White Tower soldiers were now the main force of the Lane Kingdom. If they could get help from Mutter, there might be a glimmer of hope.
Why does Mutt want to help Alice? This is a very complicated question. Even if Alice wants to commit herself immediately, she has no chance to take action now.
Looking at Alice's eager eyes, Mutter seemed to understand what she meant. He saluted Charlemagne and said, "Your Majesty, your country is facing a war. Alice Thorne, the pure daughter of the gods, is fighting fiercely with the enemy day and night.
, in such a difficult situation, I don’t think it is appropriate to hold any ceremony now.”
"You said Alice is fighting fiercely with the enemy?" Charlemagne smiled, and Alexa also laughed. Charlemagne touched Alice's hair and sighed, "With your unremitting efforts, my kingdom is fast."
I was buried by you."
Yalishan said: "I have found a way to defeat the enemy and will take over the next battle. Please ask General Mutemall to lead your soldiers to continue to provide help to us. We will also do our best to help you rescue the son of God. As for Aili
Si, you don’t understand war at all, so you should do what you can.”
I don’t understand war, do you think you do, you stupid, stupid woman?
The above is Alice's psychological activity. If she dares to say a word, Alishan will immediately cut off her tongue.
Fortunately, Alishan doesn't want to kill Alice yet, and Alice doesn't know the reason, but at least she left the Golden Lion Hall safely.
She left full authority over the coronation ceremony to the ceremonial officer. This farce was not worth wasting any of her time. She needed more support. In a chaotic situation, only those with military strength could protect themselves.
…
The strong wind was still howling, and the airship that was blown away did not return with difficulty until late at night.
The morale of Reggie and Chris was severely damaged, and some soldiers from the north even suspected that they were being punished by the gods.
But the soldiers in the south had no such idea. They were accustomed to such strong winds.
"It's a wind demon." Chris poured Reggie a glass of wine. "I've seen this kind of wind. It would take at least four wind demons to create a strong wind that sweeps the entire capital."
"Do you have a way to deal with the wind demon?"
"There is only one way, which is to find them and kill them. But they look the same as ordinary people. It is not that easy to find them."
Lei Ji said: "The wind demon has such powerful magic power, but has no obvious characteristics. Why is such a powerful evil demon subject to..."
Reggie didn't say anything further because what he said next would be a bit mean.
Chris didn't mind: "What you want to say is, why should such a powerful evil be controlled by the cowardly Ryan Kingdom? There are two reasons. First, their number is very small, and second, they can only live in a fixed environment. place."
“What does fixed place mean?”
"I can't describe it. It may be the place where they were born, or it may have some other meaning. If a wind demon is found in a certain village, he will not be able to leave that village even if he is chased to death."
"But now there are wind demons in the capital. Are these wind demons born here?"
"I don't know," Chris shook his head. "In recent years, wind demons have been active in more and more places. They are spreading in unknown ways, but there are still many cities in the south that are not occupied by wind demons. Why do these guys jump directly to The royal capital is coming?"
Reggie took a deep breath and said, "I smell sand. I hope it's not what I thought."
At dawn the next day, the strong wind finally stopped. Reggie did not dispatch the airship. He led the artillery to the position. If Alice continued to use civilians as human shields, Chris would have to make a decision.
After all, this is still Chris's war. He must be the one who does the dirty work, and he must be the one who gets the bad name.
Fortunately, we didn't see any civilians on top of the city today, but we saw a lot of sand demons below the city.
"It seems that what I was worried about has happened," Reggie murmured to himself, "These wind demons are probably related to Alexa."
Chris said: "You mean she manipulated the wind demon in some way?"
"I don't care in any way. What I care about is what the wind demon and the sand demon will look like after they are combined?"
Chris shook his head and said: "No one has seen anything like that. At least on the Origino continent, the wind demon and the sand demon have never appeared in the same place at the same time."
The sound of drums came from the city of the royal capital, and the army of sand demons began to advance. The best way to deal with the sand demons was naturally black oil smoke. You could not use airships to drop bombs, but you could also use trebuchets. After dropping forty black oil bombs, a thick Thick black smoke quickly enveloped the battlefield.
"Come on!" Reggie rubbed his hands excitedly, "I won't mind dying as many as you come..."
Before he finished speaking, the wind picked up again. The strong wind quickly blew away the black smoke and replaced it with sand and dust flying all over the sky.
Chris licked his lips and said: "This time you have seen the combination of wind demon and sand demon."
Reggie shouted: "Stop making sarcastic remarks and organize soldiers to fight back!"
The smoke of the black oil dissipated, Reggie's best tactics failed, and the next step was to use guns and sand demons to engage in a crushing war of attrition.
The yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see the enemy troops. The soldiers could only fire at random in the sand and dust.
The sand and dust gradually approached, and Reggie seemed to hear some kind of harsh sound.
Iron Skull said: "It's the gasping sound of the sand demon. I fought with them for most of my life in Sangro Port. I will never forget this sound."
Reggie and Chris looked at each other. They were both considering one thing, whether to retreat temporarily.
Although morale will be dampened again, the sand and dust are not moving too fast, and it is still too late to leave now.
Reggie asked the artillery to retreat first, and Chris asked the infantry to prepare to retreat. When the sand dust was still a hundred feet away from the position, the wind suddenly stopped.
Has Feng Mo run out of strength? Or should they use other tactics?
As the dust gradually fell to the ground, a large number of sand demon figures appeared in front of him. Reggie suddenly felt that something was wrong. He was about to order a retreat, but heard Chris shout: "We can't retreat! The wind demon is gathering strength, we can't leave."
