Matthias sat on the throne of the head of state, quietly watching the news sent by the spy.
The Golden Eagle Emperor apologized to Tianxing Kingdom and Shattering Snow Kingdom successively, and formed an alliance with them.
Tianxing Kingdom dispatched reinforcements, defeated the Rock Demon Army, severely damaged the Mud Demon Army, and recaptured Qingque City.
The outcome of the battle did not surprise Matthias. What was surprising was that all the news came from spies. During this period, Emperor Horno sent him several letters, but said nothing about these things.
In order to survive, Emperor Horno accepted new allies.
But what Mathias didn't expect was that the White Tower Kingdom was abandoned by the Golden Eagle Kingdom, and the relationship between the two countries was on the verge of rupture.
And this is not just the idea of the Golden Eagle Kingdom. Many allies are trying to ask for help from the Tianxing Kingdom. In the face of survival, the former alliance has become vulnerable.
Due to the general trend, Matthias had no choice. He sent an envoy to the Sky Star Kingdom and agreed to the terms of alliance.
Half a month later, the Demon Slayer Alliance of the Origino Continent was officially established, and its first conference was held in Star City, the capital of the Star Kingdom.
The purpose of this conference is to elect the leader of the mainland.
The day before the conference, all the monarchs from various countries gathered together, held some discussions, and finally determined the seventeen countries that were eligible to participate in the recording of pottery tablets.
As Reggie had speculated, none of the Wolf Country, Golden Harvest Country, and Golden Grain Country had a chance to vote, which was not a disadvantage to him. The White Tower Country gave up six vassal countries, while the Golden Eagle Country gave up nine.
Subject country.
Although the subject countries are excluded, the die-hard alliances of each country are still included in the list, including five allies of the White Tower Kingdom, three allies of the Sky Star Kingdom, two allies of the Shattered Snow Kingdom, and one ally of the Golden Eagle Kingdom.
That night, almost all the monarchs could not sleep. Only Reggie was very tired, but was dragged out of bed by Sophia.
"I have calculated carefully all night, and you have no chance of winning! You must be prepared to use force, and you must not be lenient when dealing with these despicable guys!"
Also coming with Sophia was Chris, and it was rare that the two of them could agree on the same thing.
Reggie rubbed his eyes and looked at Chris and said, "Did you forget about it all night?"
Chris smiled and said: "Does this still count? Unless Alfred supports you wholeheartedly, you will not get more than five pottery fragments."
Sophia shook her head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. The Golden Eagle Kingdom is still accepting your assistance, and his two pottery fragments should be given to you."
"That's too naive. The Heavenly Star Nation is the nominal aider. If Alfred becomes the leader of the alliance, support for the Golden Eagle Nation will still not be interrupted," Chris said,
"The two countries I'm talking about are Yunding Country and Fengyan Country. They have good relations with you, and they are not allied with any country, so they are likely to leave the pottery fragments to you.
Calculating this way, Matthias and Alfred can each get six pottery shards, and you still have no chance of winning."
Sophia shook her head and said: "Yunding Country and Fengyan Country are neighbors of Tianxing Country, and the friendship between them is not inferior to that of allies."
Chris sighed: "Anyway, tomorrow will be unlucky."
Reggie yawned and said: "Whether you have a chance of winning depends on tomorrow's results. What's the use of you guys guessing here? Your Majesty Chris, go back to your room and rest quickly. Queen Sophia, if you don't mind, let's rest together."
Bar."
Sophia pushed Reggie away and said angrily: "Now is not the time to do this. Do you want to be the slave of the White Tower people?"
Chris said: "I know you have found a wizard who can tamper with the results, but I advise you not to rely too much on him. Matthias will be on guard."
Sophia said: "I saw that young man. His level has not yet reached the level below the cloud. What should you do if he misses?"
"Even if he misses, even if I can't become the leader of the alliance, why don't I still go to sleep!" Reggie said angrily, "If you all refuse to leave, then I will join you!"
Reggie slept peacefully, but Emperor Tianxing couldn't sleep. He was struggling with one thing: whose name should be written on the pottery tablets tomorrow. The three allies were present, and the kings of Yunding Kingdom and Fengyan Kingdom were also present.
They were waiting for Alfred's decision, but until dawn, Alfred was still hesitant.
"This is really unlike you," King Yunding frowned, "I have never seen him so hesitant about something."
King Fengyan said: "I know that you have received a lot of help from the Shattered Snow Kingdom, but this matter is a different matter. Reggie Victor is too young and he is not qualified to become the leader of the continent."
King Yunding nodded and said, "Tomorrow we will write your name on the pottery, and it's settled."
The two kings stood up to leave, but Alfred stopped them: "Wait a moment, wait for my news at the last moment."
Seeing Emperor Tianxing's hesitation, both allies and neighbors were a little dissatisfied. After they left, Alfred was entangled again.
He held six pottery sherds in his hand, and gave them all to Reggie. Together with Reggie's original three pottery sherds, having nine pottery sherds would ensure victory.
But why use your own six pottery pieces to help Reggie's three pottery pieces? Why don't you dare to keep them for yourself?
If you really leave it to yourself, the situation will become complicated and confusing. Reggie will definitely have no hope. Both he and Mathias will have six potsherds. Who will win depends on Horno's attitude.
"Who on earth will he leave the pottery fragments to? This shameless old bastard!"
Alfred was talking to himself, and Hosea standing beside him reminded him: "No fighting, no stealing. Your Majesty, please consider it carefully."
"This is not stealing!" Alfred stood up angrily, "This should belong to the Star Kingdom."
Hosea sighed softly. He had long guessed that this day would come. No matter how good the plan was or how strong the determination, no one could really control it in the face of absolute temptation.
The next day, the election began. Before entering the venue, Mathias saw Horno. The two of them had not spoken a word since arriving at Star City.
Seeing Mathias approaching, Horno was a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to avoid him, but he didn't expect Mathias to block his way.
"Don't worry, my friend, the past is in the past," Matthias smiled. "No matter what the outcome is today, we will still fight side by side and remain comrades who will live and die together."
Horno's body trembled, he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Don't make me feel embarrassed anymore. I don't know how to express my shame. My two pottery pieces will belong to you, no matter the outcome."
Anyway, this is the only promise I can make."
When he entered the Hall of Stars, Horno suddenly reminded Matthias: "Why didn't you bring the Paladin Legion? I heard that Reggie has a wizard who can tamper with the names on the pottery tablets."
"I know that wizard," Matthias smiled lightly, "No one can cheat today. This is a promise I made to you."
