Chapter 524 The Undefeated Empire's Request for Help

The verdict really shocked everyone present!People started to talk about it, but no one could say that the verdict was wrong!So... Edward, will he be executed? !
It took an hour for the gallows to be erected, and it could be seen that the real king did not expect that the gallows would actually be erected today.Mengdie looked at the instrument of torture that was gradually taking shape, and her heart skipped a beat.

No... definitely can't let this guy be executed like this!He just hasn't recovered from the nightmare of killing his father. If he is executed before then, everything will be over! ! !
Edward can't die...Even if it's for Yinyue he wants to protect, Mengdie can't let him die!When Edward was led to the gallows by several soldiers, she finally rushed out from the crowd, punching and kicking back the soldiers who were holding Edward!When everyone around them once again focused on the girl who disturbed the execution ground three times, Mengdie supported Edward with one hand, and at the same time shouted at the new king——

"Report to Your Majesty! The envoy of the Luwell Empire seeks to see you immediately!!!"

Mengdie's words were stuck in her throat, and she hadn't had time to spit them out yet.A soldier rushed out suddenly, knelt down beside her, and loudly told a shocking fact.

The envoy of Luwell Empire? !

Upon hearing the name of this country, Sasha, who was in the gallery, was immediately shocked!The envoy of the empire came to Silver Moon at this time... what will happen?Or... is it for something!
The real king pondered for a moment.Right now, facing the Meng Die who entered the execution ground indiscriminately, he just glanced at it, and immediately made a decision, and waved his hand——

"Let that messenger come in."

It seems that for the new king, he has already judged whether it is more important to meet the messenger or deal with Mengdie.

As the soldier retreated, three men in tattered light armor quickly entered from outside the crowd.The prominent double-sword emblem on their armor fully represents their nationality.Right now, these three scarred people entered the square, facing the new king of Silver Moon, there was no sign of timidity on their scarred faces.On the contrary, the fortitude and perseverance of the soldiers are fully displayed in their eyes!

"Honorable King Silvermoon."

The three soldiers pulled out the shattered swords in their waists, knelt down on one knee in front of the real king, and performed a standard knight's salute.

"On behalf of the emperor of the Luwell Empire, Yiwen Lanhaza Luwell, we pay our best respects to King Silver Moon. This visit is a peaceful journey to deepen the friendship between the two countries. , I hope His Majesty will not be offended."

The real king glanced at the three messengers.The wounds on their bodies were old and new, and some of the bandaged wounds were still bleeding.Obviously, they came to Silver Moon after a fierce battle.Anyone can see that the three of them came here definitely not just to talk about peace.

"I see. I would like to thank Emperor Luwell for his kindness." The true king nodded slightly, "But let's get straight to the point. The three of you came to our country for such a simple reason. What the hell is going on? Telling you to come to my country with all the scars on your body?"

The three envoys glanced at each other, one of them suddenly put down the chipped sword, reached into his bosom, and took out a small cloth bag that had been well kept.He opened the small cloth bag in front of everyone, revealing a letter inside, and presented it with both hands.

A soldier took the letter from the envoy and passed it layer by layer to the real king.After he tore open the envelope and took a look, he suddenly flew into a rage and threw the letter under the seat!
"The king of your country is really brave! The bloody smell of invasion of our country has not been washed away by the rain, and now he comes to ask us to send troops for support?! He thought that with this letter and a few words of apology , can wash away the hatred that massacred tens of thousands of civilians in our country that day?!"

The real rage shocked everyone around!Because his current performance is almost exactly the same as the old king's attitude towards the previous batch of Lowell envoys!Regarding this, the three envoys gritted their teeth in the same way. They were very clear about what happened to the previous batch of envoys, so their faces trembled.

But even though it is very clear, the duty of the soldiers still requires them to stand up and continue to narrate the purpose of their trip.

"Emperor of the Silver Moon, my emperor knows that no amount of apology will be able to quell the hatred of your country. But if your majesty is just going to stand by out of hatred, that would be the most stupid decision."

How dare this emissary openly contradict the king!It seemed that he really didn't want to die.However, Mengdie had a trace of doubt in her heart.She stared at the king, looked at his expressionless face... no, really is definitely not an emotional person.He must have his own intentions when he said that.

"Oh? My emperor is stupid?" The real king propped his chin and said loudly, "Then I have to ask why I am stupid."

The envoy at the head stood up proudly, clenched his fist with his left hand, tapped the double sword badge on his right shoulder, and said awe-inspiringly: "The territory of the Luwell Empire is vast, ten times that of Silver Moon. Soldiers and food are absolutely far away." It’s beyond your country’s imagination! The last time you only dispatched a small army of 20, you were able to push your country to the brink of extinction. There is absolutely no need to say anything about its strength.”

"Right now, the undead army is indeed raging. But my emperor has already made full preparations. He gave up the defense of the surrounding cities and concentrated all his troops in the capital. There are a million people. Our country's food and grass reserves are also very sufficient. , enough to last for three years. If we just defend the city, each of our soldiers can be used as a hundred, and it is more than enough to deal with those untrained undead legions that are just a mess!"

The messenger spoke too confidently.He was so confident that it was hard to believe that he was here to ask for help!And looking at these three people, they should be just ordinary soldiers.But even the ordinary soldiers of the Luwell Empire have the fighting power of the knights of Silver Moon's unit, all of which make people believe their words.

Xio propped his chin aside, half-explained, half-analyzed and said: "Well, that's true. The news we got is that Luwell's soldiers abandoned the country and withdrew to the capital. But giving up the country does not mean that they have lost the battle. If If it’s just a strategic retreat, it can’t be said that the strength of the Luwell Empire has been dealt a devastating blow.”

The messenger continued: "Right now, due to the sudden rainstorm, many rivers have begun to appear around Luwell City. Those undead legions have also begun to seize civilian ships to cross the river. If they can't attack our country for a long time, they must He will turn around and attack your country. Even if His Majesty wants to send troops, it may be too late."

As soon as the messenger's voice fell, the crowd immediately went into an uproar!Everyone's face was filled with horror, and some small disturbances even started to happen.Yinyue's troops are definitely not as strong as Luwell's. If those undead legions really crossed the river and came to Yinyue, they would be reduced to scorched earth in an instant like other countries!
The emissary seemed to be very satisfied with the current state of boiling hearts.There was a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his head even more proudly: "So, Your Majesty. If you still think about your own country, please send troops to support us to fight against our current common enemy. This is not a request ', it's not 'threatening', but 'inviting'. If you still ignore the situation, then we will leave immediately, and we will never stay for a while."

"Okay, then you go."

Very decisive, really did not get angry, and did not refute.Immediately after the envoy's voice, his words came out very frankly.

……

…………

………………

The situation at the scene became tense for a while.Perhaps the envoy himself did not expect that the king in front of him would be so unmoved.This turned the various countermeasures he had planned upside down.

go?
The other two envoys looked at him with a little embarrassment in their eyes.If they leave now, it means that the task cannot be completed.But if you don't leave, you have already said enough just now, and if you forcefully stay and plead, it is bound to make the sign of the Luwell Empire weak.Suddenly, the three envoys were caught in a dilemma.

"Huh? Are you still not leaving? Oh, I'm sorry. Come on, prepare a bathroom and a change of clothes for these three gentlemen. Just ask the three to live in the country for two or three days, have fun, and then go back Bar."

With a wave of Shinobi's hand, several maids who had quietly arranged had already stepped forward to lead the way behind the three soldiers.At this moment, the three of them gritted their teeth, turned their heads reluctantly, followed the maid, and started walking...

It seems that the new king also rejected the Luwell Empire's request for reinforcements.Some of the people were quite satisfied with this, while others seemed restless.And more people deeply cast aside the rudeness and arrogance of the Luwell Empire.Among them are many relatives who lost their families in the last war. Compared with support, they may be more inclined to wait for death and watch the Luwell Empire perish.

(he started...)
Mengdie stared at Zhen.It stands to reason that after dealing with the messenger, he should turn around and deal with himself, the intruder of the execution ground.However, his eyes still stared at the backs of the three soldiers for a long time.It seems... waiting for something...

at last……

The emissary at the head suddenly trembled all over his body!He turned around abruptly, pushed away the maid behind him and returned to the square!Facing the truth, he reversed his arrogance and self-esteem just now, and kneeled heavily on the ground.

"I'm really... very sorry! Your Majesty! I beg you... I beg you! Please send troops to support me! I'm deeply begging you——!"

The sudden change made everyone around feel a little at a loss.The other two envoys also turned around one after another, plopping and kneeling down with their companions.At this moment, the faces of the three of them had no self-esteem at all.Yes, only longing, and deep worry.

Zhen looked at the three envoys indifferently, and said in a cold tone: "Please send troops? Didn't you just say that your country has millions of people?"

One of the messengers gritted his teeth, and seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.But at the end of the struggle, he finally gave up his pride and said regretfully: "Actually... our soldiers are less than [-]. But there are tens of millions of skeleton soldiers! They attack the city day and night, When we came out, the last three military fortresses of our country had all been breached! Maybe...maybe the enemy army is now...approaching our capital..."

Thirty thousand versus ten million? !This is really an unimaginable number.The crowd couldn't help being secretly surprised.Everyone's heart began to beat a drum.

But really still looks very indifferent.He continued to say flatly: "What's the point? Each of your soldiers can be worth one hundred. Besides, isn't your food enough for three years?"

Anyway, the bottom is already down, and the other envoy is not afraid of losing face anymore, and said: "No... our food is not enough for three months. Back to Your Majesty, if you don't send troops to support, I am afraid it will not take three months... we Just...our country is just...!!!"

The three messengers all lowered their heads and gritted their teeth.As soldiers of the strongest empire, they have completely lost the arrogance and pride of being invincible and invincible in the past.Losing this dignity is painful, because the Luwell Empire has never asked for help from any other country before.Now, Zhen has completely shattered their dignity.

However, compared with the life and death of the motherland, what is this little pain?Compared with the dignity of the motherland...compared with the lives of my family, wife, children, parents, brothers and sisters in Luwell...what is it?

Zhen stood up from the throne and walked slowly into the central square.He stood in front of the three kneeling messengers, looking at them peacefully.

"As a Luwellian, you have failed. Because you knelt at the feet of other kings."

The truth made them bow their heads, speechless.

"But as a soldier, as a messenger, as a family member, as a man who dared to bow his head, I admire your courage. Rise up."

The old king waved his hand and said this praise unexpectedly.After the three envoys froze for a moment, they looked at each other.But instead of kneeling down, they fell down all over!
No dignity is needed anymore, for the sake of the Luwell Empire, they must ask the king to send reinforcements!
"Your Majesty! Please forgive us for our previous rudeness! Our country is already at stake, and our lives are hanging by a thread! I beg you... kindly, please send troops!!!"
