"Your Majesty, we won a complete victory in the defensive battle of the Holy Acropolis!"
Huggins took the battle report, trotted open the ajar door of the king's audience room, and shouted excitedly.
When he saw that not only the king was sitting in the room, but also another familiar woman standing there, he couldn't help but consciously closed his mouth.
Todd motioned to Huggins to bring over the battle report, glanced at it briefly, and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Backing out of the audience room, Huggins slowly closed the door and stared at the door panel for a while before finally turning around and leaving with a frown.
Todd opened the battle report and saw a paragraph. He smiled and said to Rachel: "It also mentioned your Alien Association."
Rachel brushed the broken hair around her ears and asked with interest: "What does it say?"
"Before the war started, the church coalition secretly contacted the remnants of the nobles in the city and planned to dig a tunnel at the foot of the palace and capture the city from the inside." Todd took a picture of the battle report and said happily: "Thanks to the alien species.
Association, and Gordon from White River Fort. They found the tunnel in the city in time and captured the spy."
Rachel shrugged: "Actually, the war only lasted for just two days. Even if this tunnel was not discovered, the result of the kingdom's victory would still not change."
"You can't say that. If the war enters a stalemate, if there is another ambush, this tunnel may become a major hidden danger." Todd picked up the pen and wrote on the paper while saying: "You arrange
These people deserve to be rewarded.”
Rachel walked up to Todd, held the hand holding the pen, and said softly: "Compared with those, I have something more important to ask you?"
Todd looked at Rachel and asked doubtfully: "What do you want to ask?"
A look of hesitation appeared on Rachel's face: "Do you really want to return to the Kingdom of Shadows?"
Todd put down the pen in his hand and nodded to Rachel.
"You should have thought about what would happen to this country when there is no king in Muxi City?"
Todd sat up straight: "A country does not necessarily need a king to preside over everything. When the government's operation is on the right track, the king will be similar to a symbol and a symbol for the country."
Rachel shook her head in confusion: "I don't understand what you said. How can a country not need a king?"
Todd rubbed his temples with a headache. He discussed with Emerson about the national system and political system, and maybe there was some consensus. However, when talking to Rachel, although the other party was smart, it was difficult to understand the twists and turns.
.
"Rachel, let me put it simply. I am a mortal, a mortal with many shortcomings." Todd said with a wry smile: "I admire those omnipotent, wise and wise monarchs in history. They can finally predict
Be aware of everything and take control of the situation.”
Todd pointed at himself and shook his head helplessly: "But I don't think I can be like them. I'm a little stupid, a little lazy, and maybe even have some low self-esteem. In the near future, Muxi City may usher in something like this.
It is the most cruel war. Instead of sitting in the city as a king, it is better to go to the Kingdom of Shadows and use my ability to transform to win some victory for this country..."
"I don't understand why you have such an idea?!" Rachel raised her voice: "Your current achievements are enough to prove to everyone that you are a great king. Do you think that after leaving, you can just rely on
Can this country become a better country with citizen autonomy?!"
Seeing that he could not convince the other party, Todd opened his soul space and brought Rachel into the conference room.
Watching Todd turn on the 3D projection, Rachel frowned and asked, "What do you want me to see?"
"The disaster that Muxi City is about to face."
Todd displayed the military clips from his memory about the gunpowder era one by one on the projection.
The flesh and blood of the knights were torn to pieces in the steel storm of muskets; the solid walls of the castle were turned into ruins in smoke under the bombardment of cannons; the huge battleships turned the city into a sea of fire with cannon fire.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Rachel's face turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Is this the gunpowder weapon you once talked about?"
"Everyone in Muxi Kingdom is immersed in an era of iron and blood. They have no idea that not far to the south, our neighboring country has entered a new era, an era of hot weapons."
Todd closed the screen and sighed softly: "I have experienced that era, and I have also seen that those weapons can have a huge impact on history. Although Muxi City now has super powers, it has almost no chance of winning against gunpowder weapons.
.”
Rachel sat there quietly, silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "At least, I know the source of your uneasiness..."
Todd gently held Rachel's hand: "I also know what you are worried about. You are worried that after I go to the Kingdom of Shadows, the Kingdom will change its original route and phalanx, and turn to cleansing the foreign ethnic groups.
Completely destroy the results you have worked hard to achieve today."
Rachel closed her eyes: "The alien species are like a group of street rats, never welcomed by others. No matter where they go, they are greeted with only sticks and deception. They finally found Muxi City as a place to stay, but they have to
Because of the king's departure, the future has become dire again."
"Believe me, none of this will happen. First of all, alien species have been integrated into the life of Muxi City. Alien species can be found in all walks of life, and people have accepted their existence..."
Regarding Todd's words, Rachel smiled and questioned: "In Gutero back then, the alien species also integrated into the empire and even controlled many seats in the Supreme Council. In the end, weren't they expelled and massacred?"
"...Secondly, I can still use my soul space to hold meetings with the kingdom's cabinet and adjust the country's policy direction in a timely manner."
Rachel stood up, walked to Todd's side, and kissed him gently on the lips: "The premise is that you must live safely. If something happens to you, everything will disappear."
Todd spread his hands and said helplessly: "Rachel, the alien race is like a huge family, but Muxi City is not just one such family, it also protects many ordinary people. If in the future of the alien race
When I have to make a choice with the safety of my country and my country in danger, you should know how I will choose."
Rachel hugged Todd and said softly: "I understand, you are the king of Muxi City. You not only have to protect the safety of the alien race, but also ensure the future of Muxi Kingdom. This is your responsibility, and it is even more important.
Your destiny."
Todd held Rachel in his arms and whispered with a heavy tone: "I know you can understand me."
Rachel rubbed Todd's back, rested his chin on his shoulder, looked into the void in the distance, and murmured: "I understand, I understand everything."
