"I agree with the suggestion of the leader of the little tribe."
"I agree too."
The Leopard People and the Kobolds took the lead in expressing their support for killing the Queen Mother.
"The Lizards agree."
Another clan leader stated that the situation was not optimistic. There were already four votes. Orc Zeba sighed secretly. He had already seen the results.
Human representative Mel abstained from voting. Just as he expected, the leader of the snake tribe shook his tail and agreed to the motion. The two races were originally hostile, and Zeba also considered that they might maintain this tradition in the parliament.
, the result disappointed him.
There were already five votes, more than half. Reina and Elf were also observers and not part of the meeting. They had no right to vote. It could be said that Zeba had lost.
Everyone's eyes slowly focused on the half-horse clan leader. He looked thoughtful. It was his silence that surprised Zeba. Logically speaking, he should be like the others without hesitation.
He voted in favor. But he hesitated. There may be only one reason, and that was that Zeba's words made him shaken.
"I object. It would do more harm than good. It is not a wise move. Apart from venting anger, there is not much benefit. We don't know what the shapeshifter's plan is, but I know that during the period when the Queen Mother disappeared,
They seem to have disappeared. Even if you regard them as traitors and execute the captured shapeshifters, no retaliation has ever occurred. It is only now that you are about to execute her that these shapeshifters appear to cause trouble. This probably shows
One thing, if you kill the Mother Queen, it means you will become enemies of the shapeshifters all over the world."
Zeba said in one breath that he had to convince the half-horse tribe while they were still hesitating. This was his only hope.
"We in the Wusen Empire are not afraid of being enemies with anyone. No matter how powerful the enemy is, we are not afraid."
However, this rebuttal had the opposite effect. The half-horse clan suddenly looked at Zeba and gave him a dissatisfied look. Obviously, in his ears, the words Zeba said were like threats.
"Everyone, I have something to say."
At this moment, Reina suddenly stood up and said, she looked a little nervous and her face was a little pale.
"As the successor of the Demon King, you have the right to express your opinion, please say it."
For demons, the relationship between master and apprentice is somewhat different from that of humans. Demons rarely have master-disciple relationships. Generally speaking, their teachers are their parents, and demon parents will teach them their skills and knowledge.
To their descendants, the same is true for their descendants. They will not easily pass on their family's skills and knowledge to outsiders unless they have no successors.
Therefore, the apprentices of the demon clan are also regarded as successors.
But Reina is a human, no one will regard her as the successor of the Demon King, and she cannot serve as the ruler of the Karasuori Empire.
"Thank you. Before that, I would like to apologize to the clan leaders and Master Hala for causing you a lot of trouble due to my actions."
She took a deep breath and lowered her head as if reflecting.
"First of all, please look around and ask what you see."
Everyone looked around suspiciously and glanced at each other, seemingly confused.
"Our time is precious, but we don't have time to waste human beings."
Hu Luo said dissatisfied.
But Reina continued: "We are friends, we are allies, and we are both members of the Wusen Empire. Let me ask, what was our relationship with each other before this?"
Her words suddenly reminded everyone, and they looked at each other, as if they understood what she wanted to say.
They are enemies, competitors, at least not friends,
They knew the answer, but they refused to tell it.
"I think everyone knows very well that for different races to sit on equal footing and govern the country together, isn't this something that has never happened in history? As far as I know, there is no record of such a thing in our history. You have been
Enemies will fight to the death when they meet. But now, you live and work together. Who unites you? It is my master, Richard Krause, who is also your devil and your king."
At some point, everyone was listening quietly and looking at the white-haired successor.
"If he wanted to conquer the whole world, why did he have to do such troublesome things? He could make the dragon surrender, make the earth tremble, and change the heaven and earth. His power is unmatched, and the world only remembers his power
, but I didn’t know who he was. At the end of that battle, I saw the master for the last time. At that time, I understood that he did not want to conquer the world, nor did he want to eliminate a certain race, but..."
Reina showed a sad expression, and so did Hara.
She raised her head and swept around slowly.
"But you."
Hearing this, everyone straightened their backs subconsciously, as if there was something pushing them behind, and it was responsibility.
"What he wants is for people in the world to understand each other, and to give every race a chance to sit down, have a good talk, and understand each other like you. He taught me how to survive in this world and also travel.
, let me put aside my prejudices and face the world. I have met many demons and visited many human empires, and I found that there are so many misunderstandings between us."
Reina said in an emotional voice. Although her voice was a little trembling, it did not prevent everyone from resonating. She grasped the key point.
"Breaking down the walls between various races and letting us understand each other is what my master wants to do. Building a world of peaceful coexistence is his ideal, and you are the first step towards realizing his ideal."
It was also the first thing he did to abandon her. Thinking of this, Linnai felt a little angry for some reason. Master, master, you left me and built a country by yourself, why didn't you take me with you?
"In your eyes, shapeshifters are unforgivable traitors and enemies, but they have also fought and lived with you. I have also met kind-hearted shapeshifters during my journey. They are not ruthless creatures. They are
They also have thoughts and feelings, so why should they be angry at a race because of one person's fault?"
Zeba nodded in agreement and hoped that these patriarchs, who were overwhelmed by anger and hatred, could calm down.
"Of course, what the Queen Mother did does not deserve our forgiveness, but she has already received her punishment. For her, being like this and being imprisoned by someone she regards as a weak person is definitely more uncomfortable than executing her. I
I also believe that my master deliberately spared her life. This is my guess. I just hope that you can spare her life. She can no longer threaten anyone. Master Zeba is right. Executing her can only vent his heart.
Anger, there is no benefit in doing this, and my master will not come back because of this."
She paused, as if she had forgotten what to say, and her eyes were a little blurry.
The whole place fell silent following her, the clan leaders seemed to be reviewing their situation, and even the Elf Queen lowered her head.
