When Maca took a group of friends to hide in the secret island to accumulate strength, the hustle and bustle of the outside world was higher and higher. In the past, Britain lost a large area of territory and the royal family fled the country, and then there were more major events.

For example, the retreat and defeat of the military forces on the entire island of Great Britain were swallowed up by Helbo in one gulp. However, after all European countries were exiled to Norway by the first heir in line to the British throne, several "big mushrooms" were planted between the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh in the north of the United Kingdom.

No one knows which side is behind it...... Of course, even if someone knew, they probably wouldn't take the initiative to say it.

However, it is not so difficult to guess why these "fire mushrooms" fell there - that line was the front end of the northward erosion and spread of the Helbo mist, and after such a round of indiscriminate bombardment, the fog finally stopped its advance, which was regarded as a chance to survive on the only remaining land in Britain that was not shrouded in gray mist.

I have to say that in fact, the heads of state know that no matter what the future holds, Britain is almost finished. And the forces that let those "mushrooms" fall are just trying to contain Hayer Bodo for a while.

After this incident, the attention of all the "discerning people" in Europe finally turned to an invitation to an international conference proposed by the French side - for the growing threat posed by Helpo, the "big guys" should also come up with a countermeasure.

As for the British royal family, which is now seriously frustrated...... Although there seems to be a surprising incident in the Norwegian royal palace, there are few followers left.

……

"Your Highness, although the current situation is so bad that it can't be worse, there is no need for us to be pessimistic to the point of despair. Helbo's invasion of the land is not the same as the invasion of us by other countries, and it is clear that no one dares to set foot on that land shrouded in fog easily......"

"And we know that McLean is the only one who can deal with Helmpo at the moment, and as long as he is not dead, he will definitely make a comeback!"

Old Davidson whispered his opinion in the prince's room, and tried to comfort the other party who was a little depressed.

However, even the prince could barely appear relatively calm in front of the King and Crown Prince of Norway, and even smiled a little. But now, in private, even with the old bishop's consolation, the future direction is still confused for him.

"But McLean doesn't like me, does he?" The prince rubbed his forehead and said slowly, "Of course, you are probably the one he hates more than me. ”

"Uh," Davidson couldn't help but pause for a moment, but he quickly shook his head, "but even so, as long as we don't interfere when he returns, he probably won't come to embarrass us, will he?" So, we just have to wait quietly until he solves Helbo, and finally someone will need to take over the big stall - he's not interested in that, we all know that! ”

But after hearing his words, the prince still shook his head and said:

"Let's not say whether he will let us take over and continue to rule in the end, but this battle has already cost us too much strength. There is no doubt that as soon as the threat of Helbo is lifted, the surrounding countries will immediately begin to reach out to our territory - do you think we can hold it? ”

The harsh reality is naturally hopeless. Because even if he is not the so-called "king of the dead country", at the moment, it is not much worse.

Yes, the old bishop Davidson was actually right, if Maca could come back and destroy Helbo, then the prince would have some hope of restoration.

It's a pity that their relationship with Maca is not good.

As for the prince's pessimism, it comes more from the loss of national strength. So even if he takes 10,000 steps back and says—even if he is willing to abandon his dignity and cling to Maca, it has to be worth it, right?

After a long silence, Davidson, who was in deep thought, finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Let's take refuge in Helbo!"

"What?" When the prince heard this, he was stunned and said, "This ...... Didn't you say that this is the only option that should never be touched? ”

"Yes," sighed old Davidson, "that Helbo is mad and inhumane, and even several groups of dark wizards who have shown absolute loyalty to him before have been treated as worthless outcasts, let alone us...... In his eyes, I'm afraid there is no such thing as a 'companion' at all! ”

"Then you're—"

The prince was about to ask, but Davidson waved his hand slightly.

"But what if we have what he wants?"

The old bishop's expression was very solemn, and it could be seen that he was actually very stressed about his decision.

And opposite him, the prince hurriedly said:

"What's that?"

Soon, Davidson smiled slightly, as if trying to relax himself and the prince. Unfortunately, his smile was full of nervousness, which was obviously counterproductive.

"Of course it's about McLean," he paused, then whispered, "Didn't he send away a group of evagrants he had a relationship with earlier?" He...... Oh no! Your Highness, don't say where they are, don't tell me! That's the only chip we have. ”

Seeing this, the prince couldn't help frowning slightly and nodded.

"How?"

"That's right," said old Davidson, "I'm going to meet Helmpo myself, and trade this bargaining chip for him to leave the land of England with his army of living corpses and the mist—we can't ask him for any power, and that would leave too much of a danger." And because if I hold this chip myself, it will inevitably be easily obtained by Helbo, so it can only be left in the hands of Your Highness. ”

At this point, he thought about it for a moment, and then added:

"This plan will not be implemented until McLean returns, preferably when he starts to fight back against Helbo...... If Helmo still has the upper hand, but still can't take down McLean easily, then here's our chance! ”

"Well, this plan—"

When the prince heard this, he seemed to be convinced.

I saw him groaning for a while, and was about to say something more, but at this moment, there was a polite knock at the door of the room.

Then, I heard the people outside say aloud:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Mr. Davidson, the two leaders of your country's royal guard have arrived at the palace, and our majesty is waiting for the two of them."
