Chapter 392: Country and Home (Page 1/1)

"Your Majesty, in the defensive battle of the Holy Acropolis, our side has won a complete victory!"

Huggins took the battle report, trotted open the door of the king's audience room, and shouted excitedly.

When he saw not only the king sitting in the room, but also another familiar woman, he couldn't help but close his mouth unconsciously.

Todd motioned for Huggins to bring the report, glanced at it cursoryly, and nodded to show that he understood.

Stepping back out of the audience room, Huggins slowly closed the door and stared at the panel for a few moments before finally turning away with a frown.

Todd opened the battle report, saw a passage, smiled and said to Richel, "This also mentions your Xenomorph Society. ”

Rachel brushed the hair from her ear and asked with interest, "What does that mean?"

"Before the war, the Church coalition secretly contacted the remnants of the nobles in the city, and planned to dig a tunnel at the foot of the mountain in the palace and take the city from the inside. Todd patted the battle report and said happily, "Thanks to the Xenomorph Society, and Gordon of White River Castle. They found the tunnels in the city in time and captured Neiying. ”

Rachel shrugged: "Actually, the war only lasted for two days, and even if this tunnel is not discovered, the outcome of the kingdom's victory will not change. ”

"That cannot be said, 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 as he said, "These people you have arranged deserve to be commended." ”

Rachel walked up to Todd's side, took the other man's hand holding the pen, and said softly, "I have more important things to ask you than that?"

Todd looked at Rachel and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to ask?"

A look of hesitation appeared on Richel's face, "Do you really want to return to the Shadow Country?"

Todd put the pen down in his hand and nodded at Rachel.

"You've probably wondered what the country will become when there is no king in Dusk City?"

Todd sat up straight: "A country does not have to be a king to preside over everything, when the government is running on the right track, the king will be like a symbol, a symbol to the country. ”

Rachel shook his 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 and Emerson discussed the matter of the state and the form of government, and there might be some consensus, but when it came to talking to Rachel, although the other party was smart, it was difficult to understand the twists and turns.

"Reichelle, let me be brief. I am a mortal, a mortal with many flaws. Todd smiled wryly and said, "I greatly admire the all-powerful, wise and wise monarchs in history, who were able to anticipate everything and grasp the situation. ”

Todd pointed to himself and shook his head helplessly: "But I don't think I can do like them, I have some stupidity, some laziness, and maybe even some inferiority, in the near future, Twilight City may face the most brutal war, instead of sitting in the city as a king, it is better to go to the country of shadows, use my transformation ability, and fight for 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 make this country better just by relying on citizen self-government?!"

Seeing that he couldn't convince the other party, Todd opened the 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 impending catastrophe facing Twilight City. ”

Todd showed the military fragments of the gunpowder age in his memory in the projection.

The flesh and blood of knights were torn apart in a storm of steel with muskets, the solid walls of the castle were reduced to ruins in the smoke of gunfire under the bombardment of cannons, and the huge warships turned the city into a sea of fire with cannon fire.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Richel's face turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice, "This is the gunpowder weapon you once talked about?"

"Everyone in the Twilight Kingdom is immersed in an age of iron and blood, and they don't realize that in the not far south, our neighbors have entered a new era, an era of hot weapons. ”

Todd closed the screen and sighed softly: "I have lived through that era, and I have seen that those weapons can have a huge impact on history, although the current Twilight City has special abilities, but against gunpowder weapons, there is almost no chance of winning. ”

Rachel sat there silently for a long time, and then suddenly said, "At least, I know where your uneasiness comes from......

Todd gently shook Richel's hand: "I also know what you are worried about, you are worried that after I go to the Shadow Country, the kingdom will change its original route and phalanx, and instead purge the alien races, completely destroying the achievements of your efforts to this day." ”

Rachel closed her eyes: "Xenos are like a bunch of street rats, never to be seen by others. Wherever they went, they were greeted only by sticks and deception. finally had the place of Twilight City, but because of the king's departure, the future became uncertain again. ”

"Trust me, it's not going to happen. First of all, xenos have been integrated into the life of Twilight, and there are xenos in all walks of life, and people have accepted their existence......"

In response to Todd's words, Richer smiled and questioned: "In Gutello back then, xenos were also integrated into the empire, and even controlled many seats in the Supreme Council, and in the end, they were not expelled and slaughtered?"

“...... Secondly, I can still use the soul space to hold meetings with the Cabinet of the Kingdom and adjust the country's policy direction in a timely manner. ”

Rachel stood up, walked to Todd's side, and kissed the other on the lips: "The premise is that you must live safely, if you have an accident, everything you have will disappear." ”

Todd spread out his hands and said helplessly: "Richel, the Xenomorph race is like a huge family, but Twilight City is not just such a family, it also shelters many ordinary people. If I had to make a choice between the future of Xenos and the safety of the kingdom, you should know how I would choose. ”

Rachel hugged Todd and said softly, "I understand, you are the king of Twilight City, you not only have to protect the safety of the alien race, but also ensure the future of the Twilight Kingdom, this is your responsibility, but also your fate." ”

Todd took Richel into his arms and whispered in a heavy tone, "I know you can understand me. ”

Richelmo rubbed Todd's back, his chin resting on the other's shoulder, his eyes looking into the distance of nothingness, and muttering, "I understand, I understand everything." ”
