Chapter 147: An Alliance of Last Resort
At the end of the riverside path, three shadowy figures are arguing here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They are located exactly where light and darkness divide the line, with quiet and silent paths on one side and brightly lit neighborhoods on the other.
"Vivien Leigh...... Are you really going to go back?" Elbert finally asked helplessly, after several attempts to persuade him.
Fei Wenli nodded resolutely with a resolute expression, "That's right, Your Highness Elbert, No. 296 Commercial Street is the destination this time, please take Sister Cynthia to go as soon as possible!"
"As for me......" Vivien Leigh looked deeper into the path, where the flickering sparks had faded away. Despite trusting her second brother and Claire, Vivien Leigh still felt uneasy, "I have to fight alongside them, just like I did many years ago." ”
Elbert gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!" The men of the Clegg Horn family don't have a bad habit of letting girls go into danger alone. As for Cynthia, I can only ask you to go to your destination alone. ”
"I'm fine, it's just ......"
'There is no point in your way of dealing with it like this', Cynthia didn't say this, she thought about it, sighed and shook her head, "Don't worry about me, brother, you better protect Fei Wenli." ”
"No, Sister Cynthia is the one who needs protection the most!And our mission is to escort His Highness to No. 296, how can we let you accompany me to the danger?!" Vivien Leigh rejected the proposal without hesitation.
Several people were arguing at the junction of light and darkness, and just when they were all feeling impatient, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the waterway!
The three of them looked together, and saw a giant dragon with crystal bones soaring along the waterway, and when it flapped its tattered but shocking bone wings, the otherwise calm water surface was cut into a clear wave.
The two people sitting on it are Charlotte and Claire who are depressed!
They seemed to see the three of Fei Wenli, and the bone dragon flapped its wings and landed, instantly turning into a scepter in a burst of white light. Charlotte grabbed Claire, who was unstable, and shouted angrily at several people:
"Are you crazy!?Didn't you tell you to go first?Why are you still grinding here!"
It was the first time for several people to see such a terrifying expression of Charlotte, who was usually hippie and smiling, and the three, including Fei Wenli, were taken aback!
"What, what's wrong? fierce, fierce, fierce!" Fei Wenli, who was awe-inspiring in the past, shrunk her shoulders like a shrinking child at this moment, and there were tears faintly in her blue eyes, "People, people are just worried about you!"
The angry Charlotte was about to roar again, but was grabbed by Claire, who persuaded in an unpleasant voice, "Now is not the time to talk about this, Charlotte!
The three of them didn't dare to say more, Charlotte handed the weak Claire to Vivien Leigh's hand, and the princess, who was a knight, was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
She thought about it for a moment, gritted her teeth, and half-crouched down to carry Claire, who was helpless and blushing as if she had drunk fake wine, and rushed forward with a sigh of exclamation, 'Please let me go!'
"Don't struggle, I'm so ashamed!" Fei Wen Li's crystal tears were still rolling in her eyes, and the experience of running wildly with a boy on her back as a girl probably made this brave knight Ji almost collapse in her heart......
The remaining three looked at each other with tears and laughter, and Elbert cast a light body spell on several of them, and the three of them chased after Vivien Leigh with trepidation.
Strangely enough, however, no anomalies were observed until we reached Block 296.
Charlotte placed Elbert and Cynthia in Viscount Burns, who had been waiting here for a long time, and said goodbye to the Clegg horn siblings amid the assurances of each other's chests.
The three of them cautiously walked towards the State Guesthouse, and were not relieved until they saw the magnificent gate of the State Guesthouse.
"It's strange, why didn't they catch up?" asked Charlotte curiously.
"Maybe there's no legend at all!" said Vivien Leigh, who had run half a block on Claire's back.
The thought that she was a 'delicate' girl, but she was forced to do what only a woman would do, and Her Royal Highness the princess was angry.
"Maybe it's because they don't dare to show up in the downtown area?" Claire, whose face has not faded to this day, put forward her own idea.
"Maybe......"
The few people who couldn't figure it out put their doubts down, and the three of them entered the state guesthouse, and just about to report to Lawrence about the situation tonight, they saw that Lawrence's room was full of people.
Archduke Hotson Marcus, Archduke Eleanor of Ullapool, Archduke Eddard of Durally, Archduke Eisenhower of Marseille Barton, and Archduke Herbert of Lotter were all here, and almost all of the Seven Kings except Silvia, Archduke of Icewind Castle, were all here.
As soon as Charlotte and the three entered the room, they were a little overwhelmed when they saw the gathering of the kings of the empire.
"It doesn't matter. Lawrence waved his hand at Charlotte, "Tell me everything you've been through tonight." ”
Although it was a little strange to Lawrence's orders, Charlotte made up her mind and told her what she had seen and what she had guessed about tonight.
When the experience was over, the room was silent for several minutes. Each of the Grand Dukes seated frowned, some stroking the rings on their fingers, some tapping the beat, and some pressing their own eyebrows.
But there's no doubt that what Charlotte has to say has made them feel more pressure than ever.
After a long time, Archduke Marcus of Hotson suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and said to Lawrence, "Archduke Erossa, so now Crown Prince Elbert is under your protection?"
Aware of the smell of gunpowder in Marcus's words, Lawrence stared at Marcus in the eye and replied word by word, "Under the protection of loyal and righteous men!" Archduke Hotson, I think this is the only option we can make in such a situation, don't you think?"
Before Marcus could reply, Eisenhower, Grand Duke of Barton of Marseille, interjected, "Two, please stop your arguments. It is already obvious that if Count Wintercastle's account is not wrong, then I am afraid that the protector Wade has died. Now we will face the joint threat of the traitor of Mesfield and the royal family of Helm, the other side has an army!
Eisenhower was a bald man with a short beard, and he looked tough and shrewd.
"Eisenhower is right!" said Ed, the Archduke Durally with pigtails and a mustache, and with a dignified and powerful manner, "if we continue to watch out for each other and argue endlessly, I am afraid that no one will want to set foot in their homeland!"
"Agreed!" said Eleanor, the Grand Duke of Ullapool, with a sudden smile, "All of you here are my elders, and as a junior, I have something to say!"
He stood up and looked at the Grand Dukes with a gentle smile and his characteristic squinting eyes, "With all due respect, I know that all of you here, including me, have their own plans and ideas for the future of the Empire......"
His overly straightforward words caused the eyes of the kings present to widen in astonishment.
"But!" Squinted his eyes opened, orange pupils that shimmered with the light of wisdom, "if we don't unite again, all thoughts will be empty in the blink of an eye!"
Eleanor narrowed his eyes again, as if to see that the shrewd young man of that moment no longer existed, and in the blink of an eye he became the good gentleman again.
"Therefore, I implore you to put aside your prejudices for a while, and let us form an alliance to deal with the threat from inside and outside the empire!"
On this night, for the first time, the kings, who had been at loggerheads with each other, put aside their prejudices and formed an alliance!
