While Levi Stone's voice was still echoing in the conference room, Philip II, King of the Florentine Kingdom, stood up with a gentle and polite smile on his face, but it made Archduke Zandola, who was sitting on the side, shiver, even though it was late spring and the fireplace was blazing, so it was not cold in the conference room at all.

"Your Excellency Levi Ston, Lord Regent of Arthur's Kingdom, the invincible. When Philip II spoke, the Florentine knights immediately shut their mouths, and the knights of the Kingdom of Siggis were already relatively small, and there was no recognized leader, and then they all stopped making noise, and the whole conference room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and only Philip II's seemingly polite voice could be heard, but in fact there was a slight mockery and hostility.

"First of all, I must pay tribute to you for your sacrifices and achievements in the great war that threatened the survival of the human kingdoms the day before yesterday. Philip II put his hand on his chest and bowed pretentiously, "The Kingdom of Florence will not forget your great achievements, and I think neither will the Kingdom of Deldes, the Kingdom of Sigiz, and every human kingdom on the continent. The Battle of the Pass will leave a strong mark on the writings of court scholars, will be passed down by word of mouth under the minstrels' lyre, will be constantly mentioned in the streets, taverns, churches and royal palaces, and will eventually become an eternal legendary poem over the years. ”

Levi's expression looked very indifferent. He was not interested in Philip II's compliments, and even there was a faint coldness in his eyes, so that Archduke Zandora, who was sitting next to Philip II, couldn't help but rub his stomach, feeling that his internal organs had been pumped together.

"Your Majesty Philip II, you have won the prize. Levi replied in a calm tone, "I just did what I should do as regent and knight of Arthur's kingdom, and many people have made greater sacrifices and achievements than I did. But for all these sacrifices and exploits to be passed on, we must first stop the coming apocalyptic crisis, otherwise everything will be annihilated in the collapse of the world. ”

"I beg my pardon for not being able to agree with you. His Excellency Levi Stern. Philip II was a blunt expression of opposition, and as soon as he said this, a whisper was stirred up in the conference room, and the knights belonging to the Griffin Knights glared angrily at His Majesty the King of Floresa, and some of them even pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, and the aura of threat was unconcealed.

Although Philip II was a knight with the title of Martial Spirit, that was more than ten years ago, and his good life as a king had long since exhausted his otherwise good strength. So when several griffon sub-captains led by Delagongson emitted a murderous aura at the same time. His Majesty took a step back in embarrassment, almost knocking over the seat behind him.

"Lord Dragonson, the Knight of the Fist, please pay a little attention to etiquette, and don't lose your temper in front of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Excellency the Regent. Chief Bamiliyan stood up with a light smile and persuaded in a gentle tone, "Your Majesty Philip II must have doubts about the words of His Excellency Levi Stern. This is not surprising, after all, the proposal to hand over the command of elite troops is suspicious for anyone with great power. But this is probably the only option that can deal with the apocalyptic crisis, and once that Thomas Jerson successfully merges with the Godhead of the Father, it will be a terrible ...... for the whole world."

"I've heard enough. Put away that false lie, Lord Bamiliyan!" Philip II interrupted the court's persuasion in a tough tone, "In the name of the glorious Lord Frandara and the Supreme Father, I do not believe a word of what you say, and now that the war is over. And I have expressed my gratitude to the Kingdom of Arthur and His Excellency Levi Stern, and have allowed me to return to the Kingdom of Florsa with my troops?"...,

"You can go back and leave the troops behind!" a voice burst out from the Griffin Knights' camp, followed by several team leaders with approving expressions at the same time.

"Yes, Your Majesty Philip II, you can go back and leave the troops behind!"

"With less people here to point fingers, maybe the chances of victory would have been greater. ”

Philip II tried his best to put on a calm expression. Instead of looking at the griffin knights, they stared at Levi Stearn's eyes, "Your Excellency Levi Ston, this is also your last meaning, Knights of Florsa, are you afraid of such a despicable and shameless threat?"

"We're not afraid!" a Florsa knight stood up, drawing his sword from its sheath. Then a dozen knights wearing wolf-headed antlers stood up and formed a small circle around His Majesty Philip II, and the pale blue and turquoise fighting spirit complemented each other, suddenly raising the atmosphere in the conference room to the most tense level.

The knights of the Kingdom of Siggis also took the opportunity to stand up one after another, and the knights of the Kingdom of Deldes also had a few reckless personalities to stand up, and most of them set their eyes on the Grand Duke of Zandora. Grand Duke Zandora couldn't help but show a bitter smile, although the Three Kingdoms of Glory are not without friction in private, but the overall position is still the same to the outside world, but now I am afraid that this tacit understanding has come to an end.

"The kingdom of Deldes belongs, all sit down. Archduke Zandora did not hesitate any longer, and expressed his position equally bluntly, "Your Majesty Philip II, you are playing with fire, gambling on the future of the whole world with a little personal selfishness. Think about it from another angle, if His Excellency Levi Ston wants continental supremacy, could it be that with the help of the many legendary powerhouses of the Griffin Knights, as well as the dragons, elves, and orcs, the Glorious Alliance, which exists in name only, can it be stopped?"

Philip II's gaze swept towards the camp of the Knights of the Guardian of the Shining Temple, and sure enough, he saw that these knights in the golden sunburst cloak were silent one by one, and when his gaze swept over, Chief Master Jean Leighton of the Hammer of Judgment raised his indifferent eyes to look at each other, while Chief Master Ingram of the Sword of Judgment did not even move the corner of his eye.

"These damned gods......" Philip II cursed inwardly, trying to control his expression as he warned himself that it was time to continue to be tough, not to show his cowardice, and to make a decision as soon as possible. He turned his head to Levi Ston with an expressionless face, and said in a cold tone again, "Your Excellency Levi Ston, it seems that disagreement is inevitable, and I will ask you one last question, if I do not agree to surrender the military power, will I not be able to leave the fortress of Tallon?"

This sentence was finally spoken, and in broad daylight and in full view of everyone, it was a powerful medicine to force Levi Ston to make a decision, and the best example of urging the rulers of the continents to make a choice.

Levi subconsciously stroked the hilt of the knight's sword at his waist, this action almost made several Florsa knights make a preemptive move, but fortunately there were more sane among them, and grabbed the wrist of their companion as quickly as possible.

A deep silence then engulfed the room, and even the crackling flames in the fireplace seemed to emit something strange. Levi subconsciously wanted to ask Mr. Dish for advice, but when the call in his heart was not answered, a flash of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Dicsh...... It's gone. The young regent reminded himself softly, and then calmly raised his eyes to look back at King Floresa who was standing opposite. "Your Majesty Philip II, I would like to ask if you have ever thought about the consequences of this?In the face of an evil deity who is merging with the Godhead of the Father, every power can be an important bargaining chip that determines the outcome of the victory, if the Kingdom of Flora refuses to participate in this matter, resulting in the real end of the world, can you calmly face such consequences?"...,

"You almost believe that you are so sincere that I almost believe it. Philip II pursed the corners of his lips, "Levi, Lord Ston, I want to leave here now, are you going to use force to stop it, or do you want to allow us to leave freely?"

"Neither Arthur's kingdom nor I have the ......slightest desire to dominate the continent," Levi opened his mouth to defend himself for half a sentence, and then saw Philip II's mocking gaze, and shook his head helplessly. "It seems that you are not ready to take my word for it, Your Majesty Philip II, then please leave with your men, and I hope you will not regret it. ”

"What a merciful leader. The mockery in Philip II's tone was much lighter, but it could still be easily detected, "Your Excellency Levi Stern, now I am somewhat convinced that you have no delusions about continental hegemony, and I hope this will not cause an undue rift in the relationship between the kingdoms of Florsa and Arthur." ”

"The rift has been there since you stepped out of this room. Levi replied bluntly that he did not understand how to reply according to diplomatic rhetoric, but now he was too lazy to perfunctory anyone. "Your Majesty Philip II, I wish you all the best on your journey home, but let me remind you one last time that the apocalypse is not speculation or fabrication, and that you have a chance to turn back before leaving the fortress. ”

"Save your chance, Lord Levi Ston. Philip II raised his chin arrogantly and led the knights of the Kingdom of Florsa out of the conference room, while the knights of the Kingdom of Siggis looked at each other, a few seemed to want to follow, but many more hesitated. After all, Levi Ston had never acted deceitfully, and the knights of the Kingdom of Siggis, who lacked the backbone, finally chose to sit back after a whispered discussion. (To be continued.)
