"Yes, Your Majesty," Wang Zhiran said, "let me give you an analysis of the current situation first. ”

Wang Zhiran said as he spoke, and under the gaze of everyone, he came to the map hanging on the wall, pointed to the map and said:

"This map already shows the current situation, in the world of Milak, there were originally many races, in addition to humans and demons, there were also other races such as green-skinned orcs, long-eared elves, dwarf goblins, and minotaurs. However, these races were completely conquered by the demons decades ago. ”

As Wang Zhiran said, seventy percent of the entire map is red, and red represents the territory ruled by the demons. As for the blue human domination territory, only a part of the map is on the right, which only accounts for 30% of the entire map.

Everyone present sighed, after all, it is an indisputable fact that the enemy is strong and I am weak.

Emperor Rhine also seemed to recall the past, and said: "I remember that when I first ascended the throne, there were elven countries on this map, but just two years later, the elven countries were conquered by demons. At that time, I had already realized that the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race had the ambition to rule the world. Sure enough, the demons soon started a war and wanted to annex us. ”

Wang Zhiran nodded and continued: "Although we defeated the 200,000 army of the demon clan in the battle of Verdun Fortress, we won a big victory. However, as I am sure all of you know, this so-called big victory is actually meaningless. ”

The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Marshal all nodded heavily, though Mary didn't seem to understand why the victory was meaningless. Of course, she also knew that on such an occasion, she didn't need to talk too much, and Wang Zhiran also began to explain:

"War is a continuation of politics, and because of this, it is pointless to look at war from the perspective of war alone. On the surface, we repelled the 200,000 army of the demons, and it seems that the results are brilliant. But in essence, our so-called victory is just a victory in a defensive war, and the other party only loses some soldiers, which has no impact on the productivity of the Demon Empire itself. ”

Hearing Wang Zhiran's words, Mary's heart moved, as a girl, she has never looked at the war from the perspective of jumping out of the war itself like Wang Zhiran, it can be said that this perspective of looking at the problem is refreshing for Mary. At the same time, Mary also noticed that the other three people present were also attracted by Wang Zhiran's words and listened very carefully. And Wang Zhiran's words also sounded again:

"From a national point of view, the victory or defeat of a war between countries is by no means the victory or defeat of a certain war, but a competition of comprehensive national strength between two countries. As for how to look at the comprehensive national strength, you only need to look at the size of the country's territory on the map. ”

I saw Wang Zhiran pointing to the map on the wall and said: "The empire of the demon clan occupies seventy percent of the territory of the entire world, and we only have thirty percent, which means that the land resources that the demon clan can control, including arable land and minerals, are far greater than ours." And the fact that the demons are able to firmly control such a large territory also means that their population is larger than ours. And I don't need to explain what this means. ”

Marshal Glevin spoke: "A large population means that there are many soldiers who can be conscripted, and from this point of view, the number of soldiers possessed by the demons is stronger than ours. ”

Emperor Rhine also spoke: "More land resources such as arable land and minerals than we are, which means that they can produce more food and forge more swords. In other words, if the demons and humans fall into a protracted war, the demons can use those advantages to consume us to death!"

"This is the gap in comprehensive national strength," Prince Wende asked Wang Zhiran, "Then Mr. Wang, what is the method you call to completely solve the war?"

Wang Zhiran smiled slightly, pointed to himself and Mary on the side and said, "My method is very simple, that is, let us go behind enemy lines to assassinate the Demon Emperor!"

"It turned out to be the assassination of the Demon Emperor!"

Wang Zhiran's crazy plan directly shocked everyone present, but the people present were all heroes among the people, and they quickly calmed down, especially Emperor Rhine, who said after pondering for a moment:

"Demons are also long-lived clans like elves, and it is not difficult for ordinary demons to live for a thousand years. According to the available information, it is speculated that the current Demon Emperor is only more than four hundred years old, and he is in the prime of life among the demons. Assuming that he lived to be 1,000 years old, it would mean that we humans would have to endure the threat for at least 600 years. And the above content is only based on the premise that the successor of the Demon Emperor has changed his ways. From this point of view, assassinating the Demon Emperor is indeed a good way to completely resolve the war. ”

Marshal Glevin also said: "I have been at war with the demons for many years, and I know very well that the demons are a race that worships power and is brave and ruthless. If the Demon Emperor dies, then no one under his command will obey anyone, and at that time, the Demon Empire will definitely be divided in internal strife, and our Herman Empire will naturally be preserved. Therefore, the plan to assassinate the Demon Emperor seems crazy, but the rewards are huge and feasible!"

Prince Wende looked at Mary and asked her, "Mary, do you understand the risk of assassinating the Demon Emperor. ”

Mary took a deep breath and said, "Brother Winder, I understand. But as a brave man, it is my mission to save the world, so even in the face of swords and fires, I will go. ”

Wang Zhiran also said: "Lord Brave, you don't have to worry, Gui and I will accompany you together." ”

"Well," Mary smiled at Wang Zhiran, "Brother Wang, I have always relied on your guidance, and I believe in you." ”

"Okay," Prince Wende, who saw all this in his eyes, suddenly turned around, knelt on his knees in front of his father, Emperor Rhine, and said loudly: "Erchen is willing to set off with the brave man to assassinate the Demon Emperor and ask for his father's permission!"

"What!"

The prince's kneeling shocked the audience again, and the marshal hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, by all means, it is too risky to assassinate the Demon Emperor, you are the future of the empire, if something happens to you, then what should the empire do in the future?"

Prince Wende said: "Marshal, you also heard Mr. Wang's analysis before. There is a huge gap between our Herman Empire and the Demon Empire in terms of comprehensive national strength, if the Demon Emperor does not die and continues to wage war with our country, do we still have a future? If the future of our human race is gone, then what is the use of me inheriting the great unification in the future?"

This question directly made Marshal Glevin speechless, and could only look at the Rhine Emperor. And His Majesty the Emperor could only sigh, helped his son up from the ground, and said:

"Child, do you know how happy I am when you were born? I proudly watched you grow up day by day and become a prince who worries about the country and the people. One day, I will grow old, and you will be crowned emperor. ”

After saying that, the Rhine Emperor hugged his son as if saying goodbye.

"Father. ”

Prince Wende immediately understood his father's intentions, and also hugged the Rhine Emperor, and separated after a long time.

Seeing this scene, Marshal Glevin could only sigh helplessly.

"Child, I have known you since I was a child, and when you make a decision, no one can stop you, so you go," Emperor Rhine looked at his child and said, "I am old, so the day you can successfully come back, you will be the new emperor of the Herman Empire." I know you like Miss Mary, and when the time comes, you will marry her and make her queen. The empire never looks at the background, only the ability. ”

Hearing the Emperor's words, Mary's face turned red all of a sudden, His Majesty the Emperor actually agreed to the relationship between her and the crown prince, this kind of fantasy and the like has really become a reality here!

Prince Wende also stood beside Mary very happily, stretched out his right hand to hold Mary's hand, and outsiders saw that these two handsome men and beautiful women were indeed a match made in heaven.

Of course, Wang Zhiran knew that the emperor's words had not yet been finished, so he immediately stood up straight and waited for the emperor's words.

Sure enough, the emperor came to Wang Zhiran and said to him: "Mr. Wang, I know that the previous victory of the Verdun fortress was your advice. Your plan to assassinate the Demon Emperor this time, if it succeeds, it will be an immortal achievement. At that moment, you will be the eleventh Grand Duke of the Herman Empire since its founding!"

Marshal Glevyn on the side was afraid that Wang Zhiran would not understand, so he explained to him: "The Grand Duke is the highest noble title below the emperor. In the history of the Herman Empire, there were only ten grand dukes, each of whom was the founding hero of the empire and was canonized by the first emperor of the empire. Since then, the Empire has not been crowned a Grand Duke. Mr. Wang, do you understand the weight?"

The marshal's words were all about this, so he almost said directly to Wang Zhiran, you have ascended to the sky in one step, how could Wang Zhiran not understand, and immediately knelt down on his knees and said to His Majesty the Emperor: "I will definitely live up to my mission!"

"Okay, flat," Emperor Rhine said to Wang Zhiran, "since the plan has been decided, then you should prepare well." The demon army is newly defeated, and the border will definitely be chaotic for a while, just so it's just convenient for you to sneak in, and I wish you success. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

That night, in one of the bedrooms of the fortress, Wang Zhiran, Gui and Sai Tianjiao were resting here.

What? How did Sai Tianjiao, the cheetah, enter the room? Didn't Wang Zhiran have a mobile phone, that is, Sai Tianjiao's consciousness clone!

"Xiao Wang, you bastard, you treat me like a panda! You still pay to visit!" The mobile phone screen in Wang Zhiran's hand was showing Sai Tianjiao's angry face.

Wang Zhiran, who was sitting on the bed, said with a big grin: "This is the best way to settle you." ”

"Cut," Sai Tianjiao continued, "Xiao Wang, where is our brave man?"

Wang Zhiran smiled and said, "Mary, she should be blowing the wind and watching the moon on the wall of the fortress with Prince Wende." ”

"Zhiran," Gui, who was sitting next to Wang Zhiran, said, "The so-called Demon Emperor assassination plan you proposed should have your own purpose." ”

"Of course," Wang Zhiran nodded and said: "Our brave lord is still immersed in the sweetness of love and can't extricate himself, but unfortunately reality is not a novel, according to my understanding of the will of the world, that world will Mimira gave Mary the power of the brave and let her lead the future of the world, it is definitely not such a simple thing." ”

"That's right," Katsura followed, "After all, the world of Milak is not the earth, and this is not all the world of humans. ”

"So we have to go to the country of the demon race to have a look, and this assassination of the Demon Emperor is the best opportunity!"
