A week after the victory at the Verdun fortress, His Majesty the Emperor, who had already heard the good news, finally came to the Verdun fortress with his condolence group to reward the soldiers.

On the side of the fortress, Prince Winde and Marshal Glevyn led his men to form a welcoming group to welcome His Majesty the Emperor.

The brave Mary, who was the greatest hero of this battle, naturally became one of the members of the welcome group, and was specially arranged to stand next to Prince Wende, which is a special position with great connotation.

As for Wang Zhiran and Gui, they can be regarded as being stained with Mary's light, and the chicken dog ascended to heaven and became a member of the welcome group. As a result, he met Prince Wende's father, the emperor of the Hermann Empire, His Majesty Rhine-Hermann.

It was an old man over sixty years old, with gray temples but still in good spirits, and as an emperor, he naturally wore a richly decorated red robe and a crown symbolizing imperial power on his head.

However, the careful Wang Zhiran noticed that although there were many gorgeous decorations on Emperor Rhine's body, if you looked closely, you would find that those decorations were actually very old, but they were usually well maintained, so they were still shiny.

He is a thrifty emperor, this is the first image left by the Rhine Emperor to Wang Zhiran, you must know that the emperor is the lord of a country, it is not strange to have fine clothes and jade food, so knowing thrift is often one of the signs of a Ming Jun.

Combined with Prince Wende, as the prince, he did not shrink in the rear, but dared to stand up and fight for the country, Wang Zhiran said to Gui beside him:

"The Rhine Emperor was indeed a wise monarch. ”

Soon, His Majesty the Emperor, Prince Winde, Marshal Glevyn, and a group of high-ranking officers entered the banquet hall and began the celebration banquet. Wang Zhiran and Gui were also fortunate to participate together because of Mary's relationship.

Well, the banquet hall is actually the largest conference room in the fortress, but it was temporarily converted into a banquet hall for the purpose of holding a celebration banquet.

Of course, the soldiers at the bottom are not qualified to enter the banquet hall, but they also have their own banquets.

In the open space of the fortress, many tables and chairs were set up, on which were filled with fine wine and various delicacies, except for the soldiers who had to stand guard, the rest of the soldiers reveled here and celebrated the victory. And the national treasure Sai Tianjiao, who has become a cheetah, is also here, for onlookers, and it is still charged.

Of course, such a brilliant idea was conceived by Wang Zhiran, so the cheetah himself was also very happy, feeling the enthusiasm of the audience, Sai Tianjiao only had one sentence in his heart:

I'm not an animal in a zoo for people to watch!

"Ahh

At this time, Wang Zhiran, who was eating and drinking in the banquet hall, sneezed.

Gui on the side asked with concern, "Zhiran, are you okay? ”

"Thank you, Gui, I'm fine," Wang Zhiran glared in the direction of the cheetah, and said, "Sai Tianjiao, subordinates can't refute the boss's mouth!"

At this moment, the celebration banquet finally ushered in the most critical moment, His Majesty the Rhine Emperor walked to the podium and began to award rewards to all the officers present, and it must be indispensable for those officers to be knighted.

However, among these rewards, what Wang Zhiran cares about the most is the reward for those low-level soldiers, after all, they are the ones who really fight the enemy to the death on the battlefield. And His Majesty the Emperor's reward for them is also very practical, that is, money!

Those soldiers were all born civilians, and the reason why they joined the army to fight was not all to protect their families and defend the country, and there were many soldiers who joined the army for military salaries. After all, the vision of the commoners is the most realistic, and it is easier to meet their demands than to get those titles of nobility that have no practical meaning. From this point of view, this emperor understands people's hearts very well.

And the emperor rewarded those soldiers with a lot of money, after Wang Zhiran's rough estimate, if the currency of the Herman Empire is converted into Chinese currency, then it is equivalent to each soldier can get a reward of one million yuan.

You must know that there are 200,000 soldiers in the fortress, and if they can get one million each, this is an astronomical amount, and the emperor dared to spend such a large sum of money to reward the soldiers.

He is very frugal with himself, but he is very generous to his subordinates, especially the commoners, and this emperor is good. Wang Zhiran secretly commented in his heart. Of course, this evaluation is objective and fair, and it has nothing to do with Wang Zhiran himself being able to get a bounty of one million, really not.

Soon, His Majesty's reward was announced, and the whole audience was boiling, and the officers attending the banquet were all immersed in a cheerful atmosphere amid the joyful music played by the band of the condolence group, singing, dancing, eating, and drinking fine wine.

But after the victory at the fortress of Verdun, was the world really at peace?

How is that possible!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhiran continued to eat food while skimming the emperor with the corner of his eye. Sure enough, after toasting with several high-ranking officers, the emperor quietly left with Marshal Glewin and Prince Winder from the side door of the banquet hall.

Wang Zhiran knew where the door led, it was a small conference room next to the large conference room, reserved for a figure of Marshal Griwin's rank. There is no doubt that the three of them are discussing the future situation.

"Brother Wang, what are you looking at?"

At this moment, a familiar and crisp voice sounded from Wang Zhiran's side, and without looking back, Wang Zhiran also knew that it was the brave Mary.

"Zhiran is looking at something very important. ”

Before Wang Zhiran could speak, Gui took the first step to answer Mary, and even his body subconsciously stopped between Mary and Wang Zhiran. Although Mary and Prince Wende have now come together, Gui still instinctively blocks Mary out of a woman's intuition.

Wang Zhiran shook his head, after all, the Shura Field is not a good thing, let alone the Shura Field.

So Wang Zhiran said to Mary, "Congratulations, Mary." Your favorite Prince Wende is chatting happily with his father. I believe that with Prince Wende's affection for you, you will soon become the crown princess and in the near future the queen. I think you, who used to be a student girl, must have fantasized about being taken by a handsome and dashing prince or something. It's about to come true. ”

Wang Zhiran said this very wisely, first pointed out that Mary was already famous, so that Gui could rest assured, and then pointed out Mary's possible identity in the future, which directly made Mary's whole face suddenly turn into a red apple, Gui also relaxed a lot, and stood behind Wang Zhiran.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Zhiran was still very satisfied, and now he didn't have to worry about being Shura.

It's a pity that Mary's face only turned red for a moment before she changed back, and said: "Brother Wang, Brother Wende once told me about his feelings, but he also said that because the country is in trouble now, he can't consider personal feelings for the time being. ”

"The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, is really a good prince who worries about the country and the people. Wang Zhiran nodded and said, "So, you, a brave man, must do your best to save the world and guide the future of this world." After speaking, Wang Zhiran also pointed behind Mary.

Mary immediately sensed something, and hurriedly looked back to see that the handsome and dashing Winder was indeed standing behind her.

Prince Wende grabbed Mary's hand and said, "Mary, my father wants to see you." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Mary's heart was overflowing on the spot, this is a door-to-door meeting with an elder, and the relationship between the two parties may be finalized in this way.

So, Mary changed from a brave and fearless warrior to a shy little woman on the spot, showing a beautiful smile, bowing her head slightly, and saying, "Okay." ”

Seeing his sweetheart nodding, Prince Wende was naturally very happy, but his words were obviously not finished yet.

I saw Prince Wende turn his head to Wang Zhiran and say, "Mr. Wang, my father also wants to see you." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Mary's expression twitched, and she immediately understood that Prince Wende had definitely not taken her to see His Majesty the Emperor for personal reasons.

After all, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that this victory in the Verdun fortress only repelled the army of the demons, but the country of the demons itself has not been affected, and the crisis is still there for mankind. If it is at this time, I feel that it is indeed too early for the world to be peaceful. In this case, Prince Wende must have put the country first, and it seems that he is a little self-inflicted.

Thinking of this, Mary couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Although Prince Wende, who saw all of Mary's expressions, saw through Mary's thoughts, he was also a little helpless, after all, the identity of the prince represents many things, and he can't be as free as a commoner.

And Wang Zhiran, who also had a full view of Mary's expression, smiled at Prince Wende and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, did you recommend me to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"That's right," Prince Wende nodded and said, "Your strategy is indispensable for this victory. That's why my father wants to hear your thoughts. ”

"Thank you for your trust!" Wang Zhiran said: "I can't hide it, I have already thought of a way to completely solve the war. ”

"Oh!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Prince Wende, but even Mary and Gui looked at Wang Zhiran.

Wang Zhiran grinned toothily and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's hurry up and meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Good!"

Prince Wende immediately walked out of the banquet hall with Wang Zhiran and Mary and came to the small conference room.

Wang Zhiran first took a look at the small conference room. It should be said that this conference room is not large, only 5 by 5 square meters, with desks and chairs, and a map hanging on the wall.

There were a total of five people present, namely His Majesty the Emperor of the Rhine, Marshal Glevyn, Prince Wende, Mary the Brave and Wang Zhiran himself.

It should be said that five people crammed into a small room of five by five square meters did seem a little cramped.

After some courtesy, Prince Wende officially introduced Mary and Wang Zhiran to His Majesty the Emperor.

Emperor Rhine also praised the brave Mary's achievements, and at the same time, his eyes also revealed a kind of elder looking at his daughter-in-law, obviously the emperor himself was full of good feelings for Mary.

After all, whether it is Mary's appearance, ability or merits, it is not a problem to be the crown princess, or even the future queen. As for Mary's background, both the emperor and Prince Wende seem to have actively ignored this point, which also reflects the emperor's employment characteristics from the side: meritocracy.

Soon, Emperor Rhine turned his head to Wang Zhiran and asked, "Mr. Wang, I heard my son say that you have a way to completely solve the war?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Wang Zhiran said, "let me ......"
