Just as Maithausen was about to continue the conversation, a herald anxiously approached him, and his pale face quickly attracted everyone's attention. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, Maithausen had the same expression, looking at the herald in disbelief, recalling the news he had received.

Bad news, and it's not trivial, otherwise it wouldn't have been delivered directly to Maithausen, who was fighting.

The second prince turned into a huge monster and ate all the attendants and guards in the mansion, leaving only one unarmed man who ran out to report the accident, but the second prince escaped from the city as a monster and was not heard from.

This kind of time, this kind of news, and the suspicions that were deliberately omitted in it, are closer to ...... than bad news Warn.

Obviously, this is what this seemingly harmless beautiful princess in front of her has already calculated.

The herald knelt in front of Maithausen and didn't dare to stand up straight, he knew how big the impact of this matter was, it would almost make the words of the aristocratic faction collapse completely, so he was even more afraid.

Maithausen took a deep breath, smothered all his emotions, and spoke to the herald.

"Mobilize everyone, try to block the news, and wait for my arrangement. ”

Whatever choice is made next, this is a necessary step, and the longer the message can be delayed, the more things Maithausen can do.

The withered flesh and skin on Maithausen's face were almost glued together, and he looked at Charlotte with eyes full of anger and resentment, only to see Charlotte looking at him calmly.

"Have you thought about it, Your Excellency Duke, whether to overthrow the Demon King with me, or become a lackey of the Demon King. ”

Although Charlotte's expression was as usual when she said this, the glint in her eyes was extremely cold.

Maithausen could, of course, refuse, but after losing the second prince, he was already disqualified from seizing power, so there was no point in even fighting hard.

If he could, Maithausen would now be like tearing this woman to pieces, but he couldn't, in any case, he would be the loser in this battle, and there would only be two options left for the loser.

Once he had a choice, Maithausen was very decisive, he suppressed the humiliation and resentment in his heart, turned over and dismounted with an upright hand that did not fit the old man, and knelt down on one knee towards Charlotte.

"The old minister is willing to bow to Her Royal Highness the princess to fight against the demon king together, and let the country return to the track it should be. ”

Maithausen did not dare to raise his head, for fear that the resentment and anger in his heart, which was hotter than the flames, would accidentally appear on his face, and although he had no affection for the second prince, the ruined situation and plans that had been managed for a long time made Maithausen furious.

I'm not going to give up, we'll see, and see who's the last one to laugh! A single failure wasn't enough to discourage Maithausen, he just had to change his plan and start all over again, and he didn't think he was going to lose to Charlotte and a bunch of northern hillbillies.

Knowing this, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't smile, her expression was softer than before.

"Arise, please, Lord Duke. ”

Such a result is unbelievable to outsiders, such as the Northern Army and the five nobles behind him, however, the people around the princess obviously don't react so much, and the civilians who were frightened by the previous fight have no room to think, and although Albert was surprised, it is not that he has not seen the means of the princess.

Only Hancock was still holding the hilt of his sword with a face full of anger, looking eager to step forward and kill this old bastard immediately, but thinking of the current situation of the royal capital and the kingdom, the upright former knight commander could only suppress his anger in his heart and accepted the princess's method.

In this way, this battle, which was destined to end from the beginning, came to an end, but this was only a prologue to the story at best, and the real war was after facing the Demon King.

Because of the short battle before, coupled with the drastic change in form, the crusading army finally decided to camp on the plain, wait for the repair to be completed, and officially start the crusade against the demon king the next day.

In fact, the battle didn't have much impact, because the early stage was just a one-sided slaughter, and the later stage was just a touch of contact. What really needs to be fixed is probably the original plan of both sides.

Maithausen will need to deal with the mess left over from the collapse of the plan to avoid the fallout, and the five nobles will have to negotiate with this unexpected and completely unneeded new ally.

"That princess is definitely planning something!"

"It's too strange that the guys of the aristocratic faction have defected, why at this time?"

And he immediately changed his face after saying a few words to the little princess. ”

"I can't imagine that the two of them have colluded before, and now they plan to join forces against us. ”

There was a lot of noise in the tent of the king of the north, but in the end there was no fight for anything useful, so the king of the north decided to go directly to see Princess Charlotte.

However, when the five of them reached the princess's tent, they were stopped.

Hancock, who was full of murderous aura, stood in front of the tent and blocked the way of the five nobles.

"Come back, a few of you, the princess is already resting. ”

It's really obviously a lie, even if you rush to the position of the five nobles, you can see the princess's tent from a distance, and the brightly lit appearance doesn't look like 'resting'.

In other words, this is not a perfunctory connection at all.

If it were someone else, it would be absolutely impossible for the five nobles to back down, but standing in front of them was the former knight captain Hancock-Kim, the strongest knight in the kingdom, and the well-known hero of Heberis, so that the five nobles had to think carefully about the consequences of breaking through, even if they were not afraid of Hancock, they had to carefully estimate the losses they might suffer.

However, it was clear that retreating like this was not what the five nobles wanted, and the Northern King waited for White-Walker to step forward and face the knight who was taller and more powerful than himself.

"Your Excellency doesn't seem to have a position to stay here, does it?As a person who suddenly disappears and suddenly appears, how can you prove that you are not an enemy and that you are not a danger to the princess?"

The king of the north needs a puppet princess who can be manipulated, and Hancock's appearance is obviously not in line with the plans drawn up by the king of the north and the other nobles.

"Maybe you're causing the king to be what he is. ”

Although his prestige is slightly weaker than Hancock's, the king of the north has also come out of sword and blood after all, so he is not afraid of Hancock.

Hancock glanced condescendingly at the King of the North, and slowly returned.

"I'm not obligated to reveal it to you, and you're not entitled to know. ”

Such tough words made the king of the north stunned, he really couldn't believe that Hancock, who had lost his power, dared to talk to him like this, he wanted to scold something but didn't know how to scold. (To be continued.) )
