The battle is over, but the plot doesn't end there.

Just as Tsukizakura was about to take revenge on Blue Moon with General Orton, Raven Ridge suddenly shook.

As the name suggests, although it is in the middle of the river, it is actually a small hill that protrudes from the river, and the dwelling is built at the highest point, and then rows of walls are built along the hills, leaning on the natural barrier of the river, and it is still a super strong fortress that no one will fight here.

Previously, General Orton and Ferdy's hedge had destroyed the area in front of the residence, and the residence would collapse because the foundation was destroyed.

If Alice hadn't arrived in time, Akatsuki and the others would have died just as much as those hapless guards.

And the battle between Tsukizakura and General Orton pressed the last mountain on the overwhelmed Raven Ridge.

Not only the residence, but the entire Raven Ridge began to crumble, just like a landslide.

The elite guards under General Orton were still ordinary people, and they naturally couldn't react to the cracking of the ground under their feet, so they were buried in it with a scream, and the two Five Heavenly Kings jumped on the fairly stable plot very coolly, but they soon fell down because of gravity.

As for Akatsuki, the condition is relatively miserable, a big man in a coma, a seriously injured person who has lost half a leg, and Wrench and Orton have no space just to hold these two people who are unable to protect themselves, and can only watch the landslide press on them.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Alice was still reliable, and the protective shield was together, although several people were buried, at least they were not pressed into patties.

At the time of the landslide, the position where the two culprits were standing did not self-destruct immediately.

"Looks like I don't deserve to die. General Orton's face was still bad, but there was already a hint of blood.

In more than ten years, he has failed several times in order to hit level 7, and this time it is just a relatively costly failure, and he can bear it.

Yue Ying didn't answer, he stumbled and knelt on one knee, but his eyes were still murderous.

But now in this situation, Tsukizakura can't afford to estimate General Orton.

The momentum of the landslide is not something that humans can resist, even if it is level 7, buried in the mountains, there is nothing to be done.

And his companion is still there, Tsukizakura is not the kind of person who doesn't estimate his companions. As Tsukizakura said before, he was angry and calm, and the lives of his companions were more important than the lives of General Orton.

After all, if you can win General Orton once, you can win the next time, and if your companion's life is gone, there is no next time.

"This time I lost, but next time ...... I'll beat you. General Orton took one last look at his severed hand, which had fallen into the crack and could not be found.

"I don't like that. Tsukizakura's tone was flat.

"I don't like it either. ”

Raven Ridge, finally completely collapsed.

At this time, the moon had passed the very center of the sky and hid in the clouds, and although the moonlight was no longer bright, most people could still see it clearly.

The night battle is a battle with great uncertainties, and the guards can take the advantage, or rely on the mortars brought by the orc guerrilla battalion, and if they are shelled in one round, although the damage is not great, but because there is no backbone of them, morale will naturally drop a lot.

After that, it's time to wait.

Everyone present knew that the decisive decision on who would win this battle would lie in the rescue operation at Raven Ridge.

Shen Xue, who served as the commander-in-chief outside the Crow Ridge, naturally saw the whole process clearly, not only her, but the earth-shattering development of the landslide could be seen by everyone. Originally, the elite of the Orton Army, which still had the intention of resisting, finally collapsed at this moment because of the destruction of the base camp of Crow Ridge.

It's over.

Deep Snow breathed a sigh of relief.

The news of General Orton's defeat spread, and the southern aristocratic coalition immediately retreated into their own territory after learning the news.

However, to the surprise of the southern nobles, the royal city did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but like them, except for the necessary soldiers on the border of the controlled area, the rest of the army was all recalled to the royal city, and also put on a posture of shrinkage.

Is it because of the great damage in the battle with General Orton?

General Orton's line withdrew to the Azure City, it is said that because of General Orton's disappearance, it is his eldest son who is now in charge of Orton's army, and similarly, Orton's line has also stopped attacking, and they are just scattered without General Orton. They won't go on the offensive until Orton's eldest son is finished.

The aristocratic coalition did not gamble, and they did not have the means to cross the river and attack the royal city directly, as mentioned before, all the ships that could afford to cross the river were on the eastern coast, and most of them were damaged by the attack on the royal city.

For a time, the rebellion and the war of peace and rebellion that swept the entire Odyssey actually stopped.

It's just that anyone knows that it's just the calm before the storm – though that's a corny statement.

Today is the third day that King Charles has not dealt with government affairs.

The loyalty of the officials who can still gather in the royal city is unquestionable, but this does not mean that they do not have their own ideas, and loyalty is completely unreliable if it is not full value.

It is precisely because King Charles has always been that weak image that there are not a few people who have the mind to replace him.

The officials and the few remaining nobles began to quarrel again, and they quarreled about the absence of the king and who would be in charge of the bull's ears in the future. These loyal subordinates have their own camps and interests, and before there was the banner of King Charles, these people are actually already fighting openly and secretly, and when the king is gone, they are even more unscrupulous.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with these people, they are just too ambitious, and as long as someone can subdue them, these officials can still be used - but the problem is that there don't seem to be such people now.

Ferdy and Martha are just simple cultivators, they may have a voice to some extent, but they are not seedlings who can lead others, Martha may be okay, and Ferdy should be the kind of character who is completely excluded from the decision-making level.

Other than that, there is only Mr. Zhou.

Because of his age, Manager Zhou would ask the attendant to give him a comfortable seat during the meeting, and then basically did not speak the whole time, only when King Charles was seeking his opinion, he would say a word or two.

He was too old, and as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, he had seen more people than these officials present, and he no longer had the strength to argue with these enthusiastic young people.

Mr. Zhou just watched, just waited, he didn't need to make a decision, because someone had already made a decision for this country.

It is hoped that the chosen person will live up to the expectations of His Majesty and His Highness......

Just as he closed his eyes and recuperated, the door of the king's meeting room was kicked open, and a group of people entered in a hurry.

"Is it done...... Manager Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the person, and after making sure of it, he continued his health mode.

"White Feather Deep Snow!" a nobleman called out the name of the comer.

"It's me!" Shenxue generously admitted, scanning the room for a moment, and then led her people to King Charles' throne.

The King's Throne was made of marble, covered with the fur of an unknown monster to add a sense of majesty and comfort, and there was no decoration, probably King Charles did not like.

At this time, the rest of the officials realized that most of the people brought by Deep Snow were orcs, and one of the tall orcs was carrying a chair made of wood.

In full view, the orc placed his chair next to the throne, and Deep Snow sat on it.

"What do you mean, Hakuyu Shenxue?" asked an official who was a clerk.

The location chosen by Deep Snow is to the left of the throne, and this country is as respectful as other places, and her purpose is self-evident.

"To put it simply, I have been appointed prime minister of this country to lead you guys in fighting the enemy, building cities, and reviving the country...... In short, you will be under my control from now on. ”

"Prime Minister!"

The officials suddenly exploded, what is the identity of the prime minister, that is, above everyone under the king! But even the old minister of the Three Dynasties, the head of Zhou, is only the head of the government, not the prime minister, you Bai Yu Shenxue is just a foreigner who has just come to the Odyssey for a year, how can he ...... Well, if it weren't for the fact that this foreigner really couldn't win against General Orton, but this is not a reason to become the prime minister directly!

Shen Xue also expected that the officials would not agree, she hooked her hand, and the orcs she brought were lined up and stood behind her, "Odun was defeated by me, Night City was guarded by me, Her Royal Highness the Princess was rescued by me with the team, His Majesty the King appointed me to be the prime minister, you don't obey, do you want to rebel!"

"You said that His Majesty the King was hand-picked, do you have any evidence!"

Shen Xue didn't speak, just looked at Manager Zhou, who had been closing his eyes with a smile.

After a while, Manager Zhou spoke leisurely: "Three days ago, His Majesty called us and told us about this. ”

Officials and nobles were in an uproar.

The debate continued, but Mr. Zhou knew that the ending would be a victory for Shenxue no matter what.

The past three days of deep snow have not been useless, she has the entire royal city of soldiers and guards in her hands, with the support of Ferdy and Martha, plus her own wrists, this is easy to do.

Since ancient times, those who have military power are the ones who have the most right to speak.

The king, princess, and cultivators are all her people, how can these officials and nobles who have no military power fight with Shenxue?

Your Highness the Princess, I hope that the person you have brought in will not be the next Orton.
