Chapter 1568 Fighting (Today the temperature is officially below 0 degrees)

With the arrival of reinforcements, the Allied Forces were also very busy for a while.

The first princess Freya came forward from the Kingdom of Magical Tools, mainly to welcome the arrival of reinforcements.

"My fellow soldiers who have traveled thousands of miles to come here, I welcome you here. Let us work together to completely eliminate the demons that threaten humanity..."

It must be said that judging from her appearance, the First Princess, who was filled with a kind smile at this moment, really looked like a saint, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Magical Equipment, who were exhausted from the long journey, were also greatly encouraged and joined in with loud cheers.

As for Melty, she brought good news to the soldiers of the Summoning Kingdom in the coalition. All soldiers who participated in this war would be rewarded and promoted twice. Some soldiers even received noble titles and rewards. Although it was only the lowest level baron title without inheritance rights, it was enough to make these soldiers excited.

Of course, Melti did not forget to explain the reinforcements he brought, saying that if they could also perform outstandingly in this battle, they would also be rewarded.

One relies on personal charm, the other relies on rewards. In any case, the arrival of reinforcements has further boosted the morale of the coalition forces.

After visiting the soldiers on behalf of the royal family, Melty finally met Duanmu Huai. Of course, she also brought the rewards from the royal family of the Kingdom of Summoning to Duanmu Huai, including large tracts of territory, and even the title of Prince Duanmu Huai, etc. However, for Duanmu Huai, these did not seem important.

"Well, I'm not interested in any of this."

Duanmu Huai simply waved his hand, interrupting Melty's explanation.

"My only goal is to annihilate the demons, so I don't plan to stay here for long. I don't need those princely territories... On the contrary, the reinforcements you brought are very important. Norn, you will be responsible for organizing these reinforcements, determining their duties and action plans, and figuring out how to incorporate them into the joint army."

"Yes, Lord Judge."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Princess Norn smiled, lifted her skirt, bowed her head and saluted Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai stood up, nodded to her and Melty, then turned and left the room.

"Bang."

The heavy door closed, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle. Melty stared at Norn, who also stared at Melty with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness Melty, it seems that your attempt to win over the Inquisitor has failed."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

At this moment, Melty also showed the polite smile that a princess should have.

"Sir Brave is the hero we summoned, and my father has given him the right to command the army, which shows that we trust him very much..."

Melty knew very well that the reason why Norn called Duanmu Huai "Judge" was to show her close relationship with Duanmu Huai. Therefore, Melty insisted on calling Duanmu Huai "Hero" to remind Norn that Duanmu Huai was a hero of the Summoning Kingdom.

"That was probably because I was coerced by the judge."

Norn's smile remained unchanged, but the words she spoke were like a sharp sword, cutting straight to the heart.

"How funny! They didn't take the hero they summoned seriously at all, and instead tried to frame him. Did they hope to control the hero and make him obey them? Oh... Although my sister is also stupid, your sister is a hundred times more stupid. We both have a stupid sister, isn't it a disaster?"

“Wow…what are you doing…”

"I didn't hear it from the Inquisitor. After all, to the Inquisitor, you are probably just like bugs on the roadside, not worth paying attention to at all. But I also have my own information channels. To be honest... I didn't quite believe that such a stupid thing would really happen until just now, when I was sure of it."

"…………………"

"I was curious in the beginning. It was strange that the Summoning Nation had assigned the army to the Inquisitor, but had not sent any capable assistants to help. After all, whether from the perspective of controlling the army or building a closer relationship with the Inquisitor, sending assistants was the best choice. But the person who appeared next to the Inquisitor was actually a village girl he promoted from the border village guard team..."

As Noren spoke, he put his hands behind his back and stared at the silent Melty with a smile.

"It was only until just now, when I saw you guys so eager to give me the reward, that I finally confirmed the truth of this information. You had to take action because my sister and I appeared next to the judge, right? What a pity... I thought you would be an interesting opponent, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."

Princess Norn shook her head as she spoke, showing a rather disappointed expression, and Meld's heart sank completely at this moment. You know, the royal family had completely blocked this news, and no one knew about it except for a few internal members.

However, Princess Noren was able to obtain this information, which means that her intelligence network has even penetrated the high-level positions within the Summoning Country?
"But don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

As if sensing Melty's worry, Noren spoke again.

"After all, the hero is not on good terms with the royal family. If this news were to spread now, it would shake the morale of the army. Once the morale of the army is shaken, it would hinder the Inquisitor's plan to exterminate the demons, and the Inquisitor would not be happy. So please rest assured that I will keep this news a secret until the demons are annihilated." In other words, things will be different after the demons are annihilated, right?

"Moreover, if you want to impress the judge with rewards, it is just wishful thinking."

Princess Nolen spread her arms while speaking.

"See? This great metal cathedral? All of this? They are all products from the world of the Inquisitor. Does your country of summons have such creations? Can they be compared with this great miracle?"

“…………………………”

Melty had to admit that Princess Norn was right. She was also stunned when she first saw this magnificent metal church. Even in her country, there was nothing comparable to such a miracle. And Duanmu Huai could easily take out such a thing, which showed that he was obviously not interested in the boring luxury and enjoyment of the Summoning Kingdom.

Is it really true that there is no solution at all?
"You...what did you do to the hero?"

"I didn't do anything."

Facing Melty's glare, Princess Norn giggled and shook her head.

"You may think that I will use some method to control him. In fact, I planned to do so at the beginning. But now, I have become the most loyal slave of the Inquisitor. No matter what he wants me to do, I am willing to do it. Moreover, he will not look at my actions differently or criticize them. Complete, pure, cold pragmatism... is simply the most ideal existence in my heart. So..."

Having said that, Princess Norn walked up to Princess Melty, leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"I don't have to do anything, but you are different, Princess Melty. I am curious, what do you have to do to win back the favor of the Judge?"

After saying this, Princess Norn chuckled and stepped back.

"Well, I'll take my leave, Your Highness Melty. After all, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, I still have a lot to do, and the Inquisitor has also entrusted a lot of work to me. I can't let him down... Fufufu, please do as you please."

After saying this, Princess Norn smiled and left the room, leaving Melty standing there alone, clenching her fists and unable to speak.

"Boom."

The heavy metal door closed, and Norn left the study. She breathed a sigh of relief and then walked forward.

"Hmm... The reaction of the Summoning Country was as I expected, but Melty is indeed a tough opponent."

Because they were of the same kind, Norn knew that Melty was not as harmless as she appeared to be. Or rather, she just acted differently from Norn.

Norn uses her innocent appearance to lower the other party's defense, and then uses her wisdom to implement the plan. More importantly, she will actively achieve her goals and will not hesitate to dirty her hands to issue orders. For example, if Norn thinks that something should be done, she will do it.

But Melty is just the opposite, she seems to have no desires, she is very submissive, and she rarely takes the initiative to do anything. However, those people will make choices under her unconscious guidance.

Let me put it this way, for example...

Princess Noren would give an order, saying, "Go and kill all the people in that village, leaving no one alive," and then the subordinates would obey Princess Noren's orders.

Princess Melty will not say this or do this, but the people around her will take the initiative to do this for Melty.

Of course, this is just an analogy, after all, the personalities of the two are poles apart. Because her sister is a brave warrior with great strength, Princess Norn, who has been looked down upon by others since she was a child, must take action to prove her worth in order to gain recognition.

In contrast, Melty has been loved by the queen from the very beginning. Even as the second princess, she was able to obtain the first right of inheritance to the throne, which in itself speaks volumes.

Such a child who has been spoiled since birth certainly has a different way of looking at things from himself.

because……………

"Huhuhu..."

Thinking of this, Princess Norn chuckled.

Princess Melty has probably never encountered a problem that she couldn't solve. So it's time to let her know that if you don't pay, you won't get anything... Well, the judge shouldn't succumb to Princess Melty's childish moral concepts. She wants to see what Princess Melty can do.

Hmm... I have to work harder on my part too. It seems I have to put the plan of winning over my sister on the agenda.
