Reggie disguised himself as a doctor and came to Alfred's palace. This was not a surprise to Alfred, but a plan they had discussed.
At first, Batchelor wanted Alfred and Reggie to meet in a relatively private place, but Alfred told Batchelor that in Tianxing Kingdom, the most secret place is the palace.
The White Tower Kingdom has placed a lot of details in the Star Kingdom. As long as Alfred leaves the palace, Matthias will soon receive the news. Therefore, the most secretive way is to let Reggie sneak into the palace, at least in the bedroom.
, Emperor Tianxing can drive away people he doesn’t trust.
Alfred listened to Reggie's narration very carefully. Few people could see him looking so serious.
The idea of the Demon Slayer Alliance did not shock him. This kind of thing had happened more than once on the mainland, and the most recent one was the war against the Hell Sorcerers.
"It's not difficult to form an alliance, but it's rare to find someone to be the leader of the alliance," Alfred said with a smile. "When they attacked the Wizarding Country, the White Tower Country and the Golden Eagle Country fought a two-year war to compete for the leader of the alliance."
Reggie said: "I don't plan to go to war against the people of the White Tower. I plan to use the method of naming on pottery pieces, and the kings of each country will elect an alliance leader."
"That is to say, you decided to obey Matthias's order and accept his dispatch?"
Reggie laughed dryly and said: "Of course I will try my best to gain support for myself."
"That's of no use. No one will support you. You are different from the White Tower Kingdom."
"I know he is fighting the evil with all his strength, but if it were me..."
"I know you will also fight against evil spirits to the end, but that's not the point," Alfred shook his head. "When a rabbit encounters a wolf, it will find a stronger rabbit to help, but it will never
Ask the lion for help, because the lion is more dangerous than the wolf."
"Do you want to say I'm a lion? Or a wolf?" Reggie looked at Alfred with confusion.
"You are too powerful, so powerful that others cannot trust you. They would rather believe in the people from the White Tower, because the people from the White Tower are still fighting with flesh and blood."
"Snowbreaker is also fighting with flesh and blood. I just provide better weapons for my soldiers. I am not as powerful as a lion, and evil spirits are not as easy to deal with as wolves. If we cannot gain each other's trust, all rabbits will
Being killed by evil spirits, we are no exception."
"Trust, trust..." Alfred repeated several times, and suddenly asked: "Do you trust me?"
Reggie was startled: "Of course I trust you, that's why I'm here."
"Do you want to be a hero? Or do you want to be an overlord?"
Emperor Tianxing's thoughts jumped too fast, and Reggie couldn't keep up. Of course he wanted to become the overlord, but his answer was too explicit. After hesitating for a moment, Reggie said, "Are the two contradictory?"
"If you want to be a hero, I'm afraid I can't help you. If you want to be an overlord, I can help you, but you have to make some sacrifices."
"What kind of sacrifice?"
"The reputation of a hero," Alfred said, "Heroes will give up everything for reputation, and overlords will give up reputation for power. If you want power, leave your reputation to me!"
An hour later, Reggie left the palace, and when he got on the airship, Camilla asked tentatively: "Are you too impulsive?"
"A little bit." Reggie's smile was very relaxed. He might have been tricked, but he didn't care.
He will provide support to the four countries whose lives are hanging by a thread, but not in the name of Shattering Snow Kingdom, but in the name of Skystar Kingdom.
These countries do not want to believe in the Shattered Snow Kingdom, but they are willing to believe in the oldest empire on this continent. Through the influence of the Sky Star Kingdom, they will end the allies of the White Tower Kingdom and finally force the White Tower Kingdom to accept the alliance.
Camila thought Reggie had been fooled: "I remember you told me a story about a poor girl who used the gold thread she had accumulated over the years to make wedding clothes for others."
What Camilla said makes sense. Alfred has always wanted to restore the former glory of Tianxing Kingdom, and Reggie was probably used by him.
But Batchelor agreed with Reggie's approach. It didn't matter how much support the Star Kingdom could get. As long as the alliance leader was decided through elections, he would be sure of victory.
Reggie seemed to have something else on his mind. He stared at the capital of Tianxing Kingdom for a long time.
"What a beautiful place, I really like it here." Reggie couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.
Bachelo's heart trembled and he whispered: "Now is not the time."
…
One month after the New Year, King Jigra of Partons stood on the top of the capital city. The biting cold wind carried snowflakes and hit his face. After melting, it could just cover the tears shed by the king.
The general of the White Tower Kingdom gave his final advice: "Your Majesty, your kingdom cannot be defended anymore. If you choose to abandon the city now, I can ensure that you leave here safely."
"Thank you for your kindness. You can leave at any time. I just hope you leave the weapons to my soldiers."
Before the Frost Demon attacked the city, the White Tower soldiers left the capital. They left 400 grenades for the Pattons. This was the last hope of the Pattons.
All the adult men stood on the top of the city, while the women and children hid in the palace, waiting for the queen to ignite the black powder in the center of the palace.
These black powder probably weighed more than 700 pounds, and it was said that it could blow up the entire palace. They would die together with the evil spirits who rushed into the palace.
This is not about courage or loyalty, it is their only choice.
After the Freezing Demon conquers a city, it will not enslave the residents here, but will eat them as food. They eat in many ways, some like to eat internal organs, some like to eat fat, some like to suck bone marrow...
The most amazing thing is that when the frozen demon is full, the people who were eaten are still alive. The ice can stop the bleeding. Even if only less than one-third of the body is left, those people are still alive. They may have to struggle for days and nights.
will die.
"Stand tighter," the queen said through gritted teeth to a group of women, "don't leave your children to those devils!"
When death cannot be avoided, the only choice left is to die. Seeing the Frost Demon rushing to the city, the king who was originally crying suddenly laughed.
"I always felt that I owed Diad a lot, but now I know that I actually saved him."
Four hundred grenades were fired in the blink of an eye, and dozens of frozen demons fell under the city. They were just ordinary soldiers who rushed in front.
The frozen giants followed them, ignoring the bows and arrows, and even the stones from the trebuchets. They leaned against the city wall, turning their bodies into huge human ladders, allowing the soldiers below to climb up to the top of the city.
Once it enters hand-to-hand combat, the battle will lose suspense. The king picked up the spear and prepared to bury himself here together with his kingdom.
But before the Frost Demon climbed up to the top of the city, a roar suddenly came from below the city, and little lights suddenly flashed in the wind and snow.
Explosions came one after another, and the frozen demon giants howled. They threw away the soldiers on them and began to run away frantically.
This is the fear that comes from the soul. They have seen this kind of thing. After an explosion, dozens of ghosts will appear, and each ghost will explode into dozens of butterflies. Each butterfly will lie on them until they burn.
wear their bodies.
The most amazing thing is that they may still be alive until their bodies are burned through, but they still have to struggle for a long time before they die.
Doomsday Butterflies, Reged's cluster bombs, are constantly falling from the airship into the Frost Demon's military formation.
