Cunning Horno, he has already thought up an excuse for himself. If Matias finally loses the election, if he finds that Horno's ostraca is not written with his name, Horno will pass the responsibility to
On Reggie.
When the time comes, Horno will say: "He cheated with a wizard. I swear in the name of the gods, you are the one I choose!"
Since he could guess what Horno was saying, Mathias didn't want to give him a chance to cheat, and he didn't want to give anyone a chance to cheat.
In the center of the starry hall was a statue of the God of War. After the grand sacrificial ceremony, five priests worked together to smash a huge clay pot, selected seventeen pottery pieces from it, and distributed them to the seventeen kings.
The White Tower Kingdom and his allies quickly wrote the names. Alfred was still hesitating, and his allies were watching. Chris and Sophia looked at Reggie nervously, while Reggie calmly stared at the stars.
Great Emperor.
Alfred subconsciously avoided Reggie's gaze, it seemed that the situation was not good.
Diad said behind Reggie: "I didn't smell the paladin. It seems that the people in the White Tower didn't take any precautions."
Reggie looked at Yang Qiu, who was standing in the distance. Yang Qiu also shook his head. There was indeed no paladin at the scene, and there were no other spells that could restrain the wizard.
Did Matthias give up resistance? Or did he simply not know the methods of the Tamper Wizard?
Both of these situations were impossible to happen. Reggie was still trying to figure out the other party's intentions, but found that Mathias suddenly stood up.
"According to the records in the Book of the Gods, thirteen hundred years ago, the great God of War created pottery tablets to record names. When people from different countries wanted to unite to resist powerful enemies, they would bring their most respected names together.
People’s names are written on pottery pieces, and ultimately the leader of the alliance is determined based on the number of pottery pieces. Does anyone know what the purpose of this is?”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Everyone knew the purpose of naming the pottery, but they didn't know what Matthias wanted to express.
Matthias continued: "It's because the weak are worried about the revenge of the strong. The weak don't dare to say the name in their hearts. They only dare to write him on pottery tablets!
Your Majesties, you are monarchs from all over the world, and you are not weak! This is the Star City blessed by the stars, and the gods in the sky are watching us. Don’t we even have the courage to honestly say a name?
I, the head of state of the White Tower Kingdom, swear here in the name of all the people of the White Tower, no matter what the final result is, I will abandon all grudges and fight side by side with you until death!
I wrote my name on this piece of pottery, and I tell you loudly that I want to prove my sincerity to your allies to the God of War!"
Matthias raised the pottery in his hand, and the five allied monarchs stood up one after another, raised the pottery in their hands, and said together: "I swear to war, I choose Matthias as the leader of the alliance, I will not
I am afraid of the revenge of the strong, and may the God of War bear witness to my loyalty!"
Horno was dumbfounded, and Alfred's face was covered in sweat.
Chris couldn't swallow a mouthful of wine, and Sophia was ready to turn the table over.
The secret ballot was changed to an open vote, and Diad's witchcraft was of no use. He looked at Reggie in confusion. Even Batchelor did not expect that Matias would make such a move.
Mathias looked at Horno and said with a smile: "Emperor Golden Eagle, do you dare to speak the name in your heart loudly?"
Old fox, let me see where else can you hide?
Horno picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then looked at Alfred: "Before Emperor Tianxing speaks, I think I am not qualified to speak."
The old fox was changing the subject again, but Alfred couldn't speak easily because he didn't know the attitudes of Reggie and Horno.
The safest way is to give all the votes to Reggie, but he is really unwilling to do so.
But if he doesn't do this, it's likely to anger Reggie, and the ultimate winner will be Mathias.
Matthias looked at Alfred with a smile: "Wise and brave Emperor Tianxing, what are you waiting for? Are you trying to figure out the intentions of others? Or do you want to intimidate others? Under the watchful eye of the God of War,
Do you want to use some dishonorable means to win the position of leader?"
Speaking of "disgraceful means", Matthias also glanced at Reggie. Alfred was sweating like rain. He picked up his pen and just wrote his name on the pottery when he saw Reggie suddenly stand up.
.
“The words of Head of State Matthias woke me up like a thunder. We are here today to defend our country, our people, and the land where we have lived for generations!
If we are still fighting for the position of alliance leader, it is tantamount to destroying the lives of our people! It is tantamount to blaspheming the majesty of the gods! Origino continent needs a selfless and honest hero to lead us to send all the evil spirits to hell!"
Reggie's attitude changed so quickly that everyone was caught off guard. Mathias was surprised, and Alfred fell into despair.
Unexpectedly, his momentary hesitation actually made Reggie change his stance.
Reggie continued: "I am just a young lord. Although I have fought against evil spirits, I am not worth mentioning in front of real heroes."
"Don't say that, Emperor Suixue..." Mathias wanted to say a few humble words, but Reggie's praise was not over yet.
"The real heroes have been fighting against the evil, never surrendered, and selflessly extended a helping hand to surrounding countries."
Matthias smiled and said: "That is the responsibility and mission of the White Tower people..."
"Even if you are insulted and slandered by shameless people, your high fighting spirit and belief have never been wiped out!"
Matthias's smile disappeared. It seemed that the hero was not him, but the shameless person Reggie said.
The king of Jingshi Kingdom, one of the allies of the White Tower Kingdom, sneered: "Emperor Suixue, are you praising yourself?"
Reggie ignored it and continued: "That comes from the pride deep in his soul, because he has the oldest, purest, and noblest bloodline in the Origino continent!" Reggie raised the pottery shard in his hand.
"I, Reginald Victor, swear to the God of War in the place where the stars shine, Alfred the Star Emperor, this is the name in my heart, I will follow him to send the evil spirits to hell, and fight
Don’t turn your heels!”
The starry hall became quiet, Matthias lowered his eyes and looked at Reggie, Alfred lowered his head and remained silent.
Sophia tugged at the corner of Reggie's clothes, thinking that Reggie might be crazy.
Chris understood Reggie's intention. He stood up, raised the pottery in his hand and said: "I swear to the gods in the name of the Kingdom of Lane and the people of Lane, that I am willing to follow Emperor Tianxing and fight to the death with the evil demon!"
As soon as the words fell, the three allies of Fengyan Kingdom, Yunding Kingdom and Tianxing Kingdom stood up one after another, raised the pottery pieces in their hands and shouted: "Follow Emperor Tianxing to the death!"
Reggie glanced at Sophia and whispered: "There is a surprise tonight."
Sophia picked up the pottery piece, scrawled Alfred's name, and hummed: "Emperor Tianxing."
Alfred has obtained eight pottery sherds. Counting his own pottery sherds, the total is nine. The results are already out.
Horno, who was able to adapt to the situation, quickly pulled the monarchs of the allied countries to stand up and said: "We swear to the God of War, we are willing to follow the Sky Star Emperor, and we are willing to fight side by side with the Emperor, and share life and death!"
Matthias looked at Horno with a smile. Never mention the previous oath at this time. In Horno's mouth, oaths are just a piece of shit. They can be spit out or swallowed back at any time.
Alfred still lowered his head and asked: "Head of the White Tower, what else do you have to say?"
Matthias leaned over and saluted: "I am willing to follow the leader and fight to the death!"
All the kings stood up at the same time, put their right hands on their left chests, and saluted Emperor Tianxing.
Alfred never raised his head, his long hair covering his face, blocking the tears on his face.
The forgotten Tianxing Kingdom has now become the overlord of the mainland again. He has been looking forward to this day in his dreams.
"Your Majesty, please rest first. From now on, we will work together to fight the evil to the end!"
The monarchs of various countries left one after another. Alfred quietly collected the pottery fragments on the table and handed them to Hosea.
"Destroy it, don't let others see it."
Hosea looked at the pottery fragments and saw Reggie's name written on them.
