Another half a month has passed, and the war has entered its most brutal stage. Half of the hundreds of thousands of troops sent to the Stoke Empire have been killed, and many more barely trained warriors have been drafted into battle. A few years later, research data from Imperial Historians revealed that the catastrophe, known as the Death Tide, eventually claimed one-third of the continent's human lives, and half of the men of Chino were thrown into battle to defend their homeland. When the catastrophe ended, the continent's male population plummeted to one-third of the female population.

It was because of this catastrophe that a few years later, the empire even legalized polygamy in order to adjust the proportion of the population, and gave very generous rewards to every family that gave birth to a boy. It can be said that when this war ended, the men almost stepped into heaven, they chose to find a lifelong partner for themselves, and firmly controlled the dominant position in the relationship between men and women, and did not have to worry about the fire in the harem. You dare to set fire? It's good, put you in the cold palace, the most important thing in this world is women. Many men have shouted such slogans: We men once shed their blood to protect our homes and protect your lives, and now, it's time for you women to repay us!

But to the irony of some female historians, the men who really threw their heads and spilled their blood back then have died completely in battle. And many of the men who survive today are cowards who refused to go to war and shivered in the corner with the women. Now, they are enjoying the treatment that warriors deserve, and the men who have really given everything are nothing but a pile of bones.

Of course, that's all years later. And now, the whole continent, both men and women, is constantly tormented in hell.

The new fighters have once again gone to the front. Compared with the previous surges, the quality of this wave of reinforcements is obviously much worse. If the soldiers of the previous two times were all young and strong young men, this time the reinforcements were not only extremely different in age, but even mixed in with several women. In the entire Chino Continent, there is no longer much armed force to resist the tide of death. The people resisted almost desperately, seeing no light at the end of the day and not knowing how to deal with the tide of death. The only thought of these people who joined the army was to protect their cherished families and loved ones, and it would be nice if giving their lives would allow them to live an extra day or two.

The warriors recruited from Melindell were also about to leave the city, and many residents of the imperial capital spontaneously came out to see the warriors leave. Some of them had dry rations in their hands, some with money, and some with freshly sewn clothes. The people tried to shove what they had in their hands into the arms of the warriors, who they didn't even know, but they knew that these people were about to go to war and destroy in order to protect them.

However, most of the warriors refused the gifts of the people.

"Mother-in-law, such good shoes, leave them to your children. A young man returned the shoes that the old woman had given him, and said with a calm smile: "Dying, you don't need these anymore. ”

"My child ......," the old woman murmured, "my child has died in the South." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he gave the old woman a military salute: "Respect to you, your child is good, he once protected us with his life, and now, it is my turn to protect you." ”

The young man finished speaking and left, leaving only the old woman looking at his back with teary eyes.

Such scenes are almost everywhere, and although this is another group of new troops rushing to the front line, people are still full of despair about it, because they know that the tide of death is a black hole that cannot be filled with human lives!

Regner stood on a tall building and watched silently, and after a long time, he sighed: "Snow. ”

"My lord, I'm here. Snow stepped out of the shadows.

"Help me inform Your Majesty, I have something to tell him, by the way, call Master Mel. Regner said.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it. ”

......

Half an hour later, Regner and the others gathered in Ralvin's study.

"What the hell is going on?" Ralvin's face was not very good.

"Your Majesty. Regner looked directly at Ralvin, paused for a moment, and said, "Please bring out the best Assassins in the Oversight, I want to go with them...... Assassinate Nidhogg. ”

Ralvin didn't react very much when he heard it, he just frowned slightly: "Nidhogg?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial royal family is also clear about the events of the founding war. Regner didn't bother to play Tai Chi with Ralvin again, he said directly: "You should know that getting rid of Niederhogg will end this nightmare." ”

"Are you sure?" said Ralvin, who stopped talking nonsense with Regner.

"No, but that's the only way. ”

"......" Ralvin's stubby fingers kept tapping on the tabletop.

"Your Majesty, the people of the empire have already given too much, and now it's time for us to do something. Regner said pointedly.

He couldn't bear to watch the Imperial soldiers die one by one, but such a reason was not enough for him to carry out this assassination that was not likely at all. What really made Regner unable to endure anymore was that the agents responsible for secretly protecting Anne Lot had recently died too much. Most of them were attacked by ghostly necromantic creatures. This is a very dangerous sign, and it proves that Nidhogg can't wait to seize Annelot's power. If Regner doesn't do anything, there's no guarantee that the legendary mage will do anything crazy.

Moreover, what made Regner a little concerned was that with the strength of the necromantic creatures that sneaked up on the agents, they were not necessarily a deadly threat to Annelot. However, in the past few years, except for a few MIA agents who protected Annelot, Annelot herself has not been attacked in any way. To Regner, it was as if Nidhogg was sending a signal to himself, or rather, a threat. Nidhogg seems to be threatening Regner to do something, and if he doesn't, then Annelot's situation will become more and more dangerous. And for this kind of persecution, Regner's first reaction was that he couldn't wait any longer, and he had to kill Nidhogg. Don't...... Niederhogg wants to meet him?

Even though Regner had guessed this possibility, he wouldn't have really been so stupid as to run out to find Niederhogg alone.

Therefore, Regner hopes that the Hawke Empire can also use the top power under his control. With their help, perhaps Regner's assassination would have a higher chance of success.

Ralvin thought for a moment, then he slapped the table, "Come out!"

At Ralvin's call, three slender assassins appeared out of nowhere. All three of them were dressed in black uniforms, and their entire faces were covered by masks, leaving only three pairs of scarlet pupils staring at Regner. Obviously, despite being an intelligence organization of the Empire, the Inspectorate has always been hostile to the MI. As for Regner, the head of military intelligence, their feelings may be a little more complicated.

"Three eighteenth-level assassins?" Regner's pupils shrank, in the past few months, Ragner had hardly asked about the world, and plunged headlong into the ocean of cultivation. And thanks to his unprecedented efforts, Regner's strength has skyrocketed in the past few months, and he has completely stabilized his Dou Qi level at level nineteen. Although the level of the bright face was higher than that of the three assassins in front of him, Regner was still very wary of them.

"Look, this is the real Assassin. Garona said lazily. In fact, in Garona's opinion, Regner had already deviated from the standard path of the Assassins. A true assassin, there is no fixed means of killing. Assassination, poisoning, trapping, and even the use of a knife to kill were the most common methods used by the Assassins. They kill people in an endless way, but they will never expose themselves to their enemies, and true assassins will not let their targets know how they died.

But on the other hand, Regner, this guy is basically the first to sneak attack when he fights with people, and if he doesn't succeed, he won't leave and plan a new assassination plan - this kid will always open his dark body and scream at the enemy after the sneak attack misses. Therefore, if it were to be said that Garona was not so much an assassin as a swordsman who moved like a ghost.
