We cannot let the flames of war burn into the Snow Breaking Country, even if we sacrifice everything for it.
Don't care about reputation, don't care about status, and don't care about other people's sarcasm and ridicule.
Plan for this, kill for this, use all means for this.
Of course, true incorrigibles must be punished.
The envoy from the Golden Eagle Kingdom stood in front of Emperor Tianxing's palace for two whole days. Except for eating, sleeping and exchanging hands, he stood all the time.
Such an encounter was not unexpected, and a worse outcome was also expected. He knew what a serious mistake the Golden Eagle Emperor had made, and this mistake had pushed the Golden Eagle Kingdom to the brink of destruction.
Ten days ago, the army of the Golden Eagle Kingdom fought a big battle with the evil demons. At the beginning of the battle, the Golden Eagles had an absolute advantage. Under the suppression of artillery fire, the army of rock demons suffered numerous casualties. As the commander, Prince Perion even had
He came up with the idea of capturing Caesar alive.
But at the critical moment when the victory was about to be decided, all the twelve cannons left behind by Iron Skull misfired, and the loaded shells could not be fired. Several rounds of shells were replaced, but to no avail.
In panic, Perrine used his inventory, but the shells of the first-generation artillery were too large and could not fit into the bore of the fourth-generation artillery.
The result can be imagined. After entering into hand-to-hand combat, the Golden Eagle Legion was instantly defeated by the Rock Demon. Perrine ordered a retreat, but was blocked by the Mud Demon.
Before this battle, it rained heavily for three days, so you can imagine the Mud Demon's offensive. Only less than 200 of the 30,000 Golden Eagles managed to escape. Prince Perion was seriously injured and is still unconscious.
The result of this battle was devastating. The evil demon army once again approached the royal capital, and the Golden Eagle Empire had less than 5,000 available soldiers. If no assistance is received within twenty days, the mainland of the Golden Eagle Kingdom will be annexed to the evil demon army.
territory.
On the third day, the envoy finally met Alfred the Great. When Alfred rinsed his mouth with wine, he took the initiative to stick his face out. He was willing to accept any humiliation as long as it could be exchanged for the forgiveness of the Star Kingdom.
But Alfred swallowed the wine and said with a smile: "Give me a reason to humiliate you, I think you don't deserve to be humiliated by me!"
"Merciful Emperor, please listen to my explanation..."
"Is there any explanation? You have done something even more shameless than thieves."
"I am willing to accept all your punishment, I just hope you..."
"Go away! Disappear from my eyes, or disappear from this world forever. I will give you one last chance to choose."
"Please, I sincerely beg you..."
"It seems you don't understand me!" Emperor Tianxing waved his finger. One guard stepped forward and grabbed the messenger's hair. Another guard pulled out his sword. This is the tradition of Tianxing Kingdom. They don't mind.
Kill people in the palace.
The messenger closed his eyes and did not hide or struggle. This last courage saved his life.
Alfred ordered the guards to retreat, took a sip of wine, rinsed his mouth carefully, and spit it on the envoy's head.
"It's rare that you have this kind of blood. A person like you shouldn't have to bear so much humiliation. Go back and tell Horno and let him come and beg me in person. This is his last chance."
Hearing Alfred's words, the messenger's head was buzzing, and he could not imagine how humiliated Emperor Horno would be.
"But... the royal capital is under siege, and Emperor Horno has no chance to leave the city."
It's rare for an envoy to have such quick wit, but Alfred didn't buy it.
"I will send an airship to pick him up. If he refuses to come, I can also send him to a vassal country and let him be an exiled emperor. The Golden Eagle Kingdom has never had an exiled monarch. He is the first. This is also
It’s quite an honor.”
"But……"
"Get out! Before I change my mind!"
Looking at the staggering back of the messenger, Alfred showed a satisfied smile.
"It seems that I wrongly blamed Reggie. He is not the Holy Mother. He is more vicious than I thought."
Hosea said: "Do you think he did something to the artillery?"
"Otherwise? Could it be that the gods are punishing the Golden Eagle Kingdom?"
"I'm really worried that one day he will use the same method on us."
"This worry is really unnecessary," Alfred stretched, "I have never thought about fighting for it, let alone stealing. He has no reason to take action against me."
Hogia was startled, looked at the guards around him, and whispered: "Have you never thought about reviving the status of Tianxing Kingdom?"
"I have done it, although it is only in name," Alfred yawned. "The Dongsang people have a word called self-knowledge. Only those who understand this word can live longer."
…
Five days later, the Golden Eagle Emperor Horno stood in front of Alfred. Alfred rubbed his neck and frowned: "Maybe it's because I've been too tired these two days. My neck is always sore. Let me lift it."
Don’t start.”
Horno understood what Emperor Tianxing meant, and he didn't want to raise his head to speak.
The muscles on his face twitched a few times, and Horno knelt in front of Alfred.
"Please forgive my stupidity and ignorance. Merciful Emperor Tianxing, please help Tianxing Kingdom again."
"You stole my artillery and shells. How should you make up for this loss?"
"I am willing to spend half of the wealth in the national treasury..."
"I don't need gold coins, I need your ship."
"I am willing to compensate two hundred warships..."
"not enough."
"Five hundred ships."
"It's still not enough," Alfred smiled. "I want half, half of the ships of the Golden Eagle Kingdom, including warships, merchant ships and fishing ships, and five hundred of the best boatmen. Do you agree?"
Horno's cheeks were twitching violently, and his face was almost distorted.
"Everything is subject to your arrangements."
"Don't try to cheat. I'm warning you again. This is your last chance."
Horno just wanted to get up, but found that Alfred had lost his smile. Emperor Tianxing had not finished speaking, so he could only continue to kneel on the ground.
"Reggie is my ally, and you have been slandering him, which I cannot tolerate."
"I'm still willing to compensate."
Emperor Horno's voice became unknown even to him. He was ready to sacrifice all his ships, but Alfred gave an unexpected generosity.
"I apologize to my ally. If you can gain his forgiveness, I can save your country again."
Horno stood up tremblingly and saluted Emperor Tianxing.
He boarded the airship with difficulty, followed the messenger from the Star Kingdom, and prepared to go to Shattering Snow City to accept Reggie's humiliation.
Along the way, the accompanying ministers were crying so hard that Horno said nothing. He did not expect Reggie's tolerance, but only hoped to gain a glimmer of hope for the Golden Eagle Kingdom.
When they arrived at Reggie's castle, the Golden Eagle Emperor was already ready to kneel down. Unexpectedly, Reggie personally moved a chair for him and poured him a glass of wine.
Horno picked up the wine glass, and as soon as the wine touched his lips, he suddenly heard Reggie ask: "Do you know you are wrong?"
Horno nodded.
Reggie sneered and said, "Tell me loudly, where did you go wrong?"
