People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

So far, they have only dealt with the onslaught from the Cuckoo Knights, and the Magic Academy has not yet officially come to an end.

If they wait until the end, they will face the second-generation Platinum Sons, demi-humans, and a large number of puppet soldiers who know no pain or fear, not to mention that there are siege techniques in the academy that the Cuckoo Knight does not have.

Even if they start to recuperate from now on, they may not be able to withstand the tide of attacks by then.

"So what do you think we should do, Reinhardt."

Unlike the panic and silence of others, Lani was not shaken at all when she heard such bad news, she remained so calm.

Because she believed that since Reinhardt could notice this, he must have come up with a corresponding solution.

She believed that Reinhard was not the kind of guy who would only cause unnecessary panic.

"Your Highness Lani, I have indeed come up with a solution, but each one has corresponding flaws.",

"Well...tell me, I want to know."

After receiving Lani's consent, Reinhardt sat up slightly and cleared his throat slightly, "Well, actually, the method is very simple and there are two more. The first one is as Her Highness Lani said, we hide our capabilities and bide our time. , recuperate and prepare to face the mixed doubles from the Magic Academy and the Cuckoo Knight."

"But the shortcomings are also obvious. In this case, we will fall into passivity."

"Although we can resist the attacks from both sides, it is only a matter of time before the city is destroyed, because our materials and manpower cannot compare with the Magic Academy."

"In addition to the cuckoo and pyroxene magicians, they also have traveling magicians, even demi-humans, the mass-produced second-generation Platinum Sons, and the group of puppet soldiers. In comparison, we don't occupy any at all. Advantage."

"In the end, it will only be a matter of time before the city is destroyed."

The magicians wearing Razli classroom hoods looked at each other and nodded.

They agree with this statement.

Among the people present, it can be said that no one knows the Magic Academy better than them.

Their wealth of materials and manpower is not comparable to that of the Kaliya royal family. The only thing they lack is their high-end combat power.

The most important thing is that as the leader of the royal family, Lani has no way to take action at will. After all, the other party holds Lenara as a hostage. If she takes action at will, no one can guarantee whether the gang of people in the academy will jump over the wall and attack Reina. Lady La, do something.

No one dares to gamble on this.

"...Talk about another plan."

Obviously, Lani rejected the first option.

What is the difference between this method and boiling a frog in warm water?

"Okay, actually the other plan is more dangerous than the previous one, more like a gamble. If it fails, the Kaliya Walled City will be in a state of catastrophe.... But again, if it succeeds, no matter whether it is the Cuckoo Knight The Magic Academy will retreat, and for a very long period of time, they will not be able to invade again."

Having said this, he stopped talking and deliberately gave everyone time to think.

Others looked around when they heard what he said, and even thought what he said was ridiculous.

What method can be used to deprive the Kaliya royal family of their fortune?

Lani, who was sitting in the main seat, thought for a moment, then raised her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, you continue."

"Okay, actually the plan is this..."

In the following time, he told Lani and everyone his plan in detail.

The content of the plan is also very simple. It is nothing more than inviting the king to enter the urn, closing the door and beating the dog, leading the enemy into the Kaliya stronghold to fight, and then forming an encirclement to completely annihilate them.

But after hearing this plan, everyone, without exception, looked shocked, feeling that Reinhardt was too daring to think about it.

"Rhine, is your method too risky?"

At this moment, Brother Lang couldn't help but asked.

The drawbacks of this plan are really very big. Just like Reinhardt said, if it fails, it will be in a state of catastrophe...

And in fact, Reinhard is more in favor of the first plan. The second plan is really full of unknowns, and this is the method he speculated based on the memory of the Kaliya Walled City when the Faded Ones returned. .

Defeat the academy with one direct blow, so that he would not dare to attack.

But if the defense of the city can hold up until Malika's Broken Ring and officially enter the Shattered War, then the Magic Academy will naturally withdraw its troops by then, and the remaining Cuckoo Knights will not be afraid.

It was impossible for him to say these words. If he did, he would only be regarded as a madman.

Malika broke the Elden Ring, were you kidding me?

Others don't know, but Lani knows very well what kind of thing it is and what kind of existence it is.

"...No, I think what Reinhardt said makes sense."

Iggy, who had previously put the blame on Reinhardt, now said: "This plan can indeed solve the problem once and for all."

"But..."

The royal family members looked embarrassed and wanted to say something. Lani, who was on the throne, suddenly interrupted their unsaid words: "In this case, we will adopt the second plan."

Between living and dying and living towards death, Lani resolutely chose the latter. This kind of courage is truly worthy of her.

Although it was a bit surprising, it was also expected.

After all, this was Lani who dared to inflict death on herself just to get rid of the shackles of her two fingers and the golden tree.

"Your Highness, please think twice. If something goes wrong, our Kallia will really turn into the dust of history."

"Yes, Your Highness Lani, please take back your decision. If it doesn't work out, we can still ask for help from Lord Rakad of Volcano Mansion and Lord Latane of Galid..."

"Needless to say, this matter need not trouble them, and I have made my decision."

Lani frowned slightly and waved her hand, rejecting everyone's suggestions.

Since their princess has said so, they, as ministers, naturally do not dare to say anything more.

The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Lani suddenly sat up straight, looked at him seriously, and asked solemnly:

"The last question... Reinhardt, let me ask you, are you willing to serve the royal family for the rest of your life and dedicate your strength and life for the glory of Kallia?"

"?"

This question made Reinhard stunned at first.

What do you mean, why is there such a problem all of a sudden?

Isn’t this issue already settled?

Otherwise, what is the purpose of staying in the Kaliya Walled City for so long, going out to fight and kill enemies, and still serving as a military advisor here to give you advice?

Isn't it just for you?Lani!

However, seeing his dazed look, Blaze quickly coughed softly and reminded him with a wink.

Seeing this, Reinhard put his right hand on his chest, stood up from the chair and saluted slightly: "This is the honor of my life."

"Hmm...very good answer, I like it very much."

Lani suddenly stood up from the chair and floated towards the central pool. Her toes, as round and delicate as white jade, gently touched the surface of the pool, causing a few ripples, like an elf dancing under the moon. With a faint smile on her face, she faced him wave.

"Reinhardt, come forward."

"Yes."

Following Lani's instructions, he slowly stepped forward and stepped across the surface of the pool. With every step he took, the rippling ripples made the full moon reflected on the calm surface of the pool become a bit more illusory.

Finally, he stopped in front of Lani and knelt on one knee in the pool.

He didn't know what Lani was going to do, but he knew that it was the right thing to do when there were many people.

But what Lani said next surprised him.

"I'm sorry...my mother, the true leader of the royal family, Queen Lenara, is still alive, and I am not the true king of Calia, so I cannot give you a formal coronation ceremony, let alone use the Sword of Night and Fire. Grant you glory...

And in this time of war, it seems that I have some intention of accepting orders in danger, so please don't mind. "Lani bent down slightly and explained softly in a voice that could only be heard between them.

"Huh?"

What do you mean?

He naturally knew the Sword of Night and Fire, which was proof that Kallia was the descendant of the Stargazers.

Once upon a time, stargazers stood next to the flame giant on the top of the remote mountain closest to the sky. This sword not only can use the power of the stars, but also contains the power of fire.

But then Lani raised her head slightly, put on a majestic expression, and slowly raised one arm under the quiet moonlight.

His flaming red wavy hair and loose robes swayed in the wind, and his small hands, illuminated by the moonlight, gently crossed his left and right shoulders, declaring:

"Please witness the full moon and the stars. In the name of the moon princess Rani, a direct descendant of the royal family of Kallia, I canonize Reinhard as a knight of Kallia. May the stars protect you and may the full moon last forever."

This scene not only shocked Reinhard, but also other members of the royal family.

No one expected that Princess Lani would be canonized as a Knight of Kallia today? !

And he was once a magician at a magic academy? !

What on earth is Your Highness Lani thinking?

After all, the magicians of the academy are members of the academy, and they cannot gain their trust after all.

However, Lani didn't care about their shock and astonishment, but stretched out a hand again.

"Blazer."

Blaze, who had been standing aside, heard the sound and came over, placing a beautifully crafted badge in Lani's hand, and Lani handed the badge to Reinhardt, who was kneeling on one knee.

"From today on, you are the 20th Knight of Calia."

Reinhardt took the badge with both hands, but when he saw the pattern on it, he couldn't help but froze.

The delicate pattern on it and the blue pyroxene inlaid in the center... If I remember correctly, this should be the coat of arms of Kallia.

But the significance is not to confer the knight of Carlia, but among the knights of Carlia, only those who directly serve the princess will be awarded this badge.

This made him couldn't help but look up at His Royal Highness Lani who was very close at hand, but from that pretty and childish face, he saw a flash of playful smile:

"I hope you can live up to your oath and dedicate your strength, Reinhardt. I'm looking forward to your performance."

"...I will definitely live up to Her Highness Lani's trust.

Awesome, Kalia! "

Pop, pop, pop—

Pattering applause rang out from the surroundings. The leader was Letina, and the others were the pyrogen magicians who were also from the magic academy.

In this way, he not only became a knight of Caria in a daze, but also became a knight serving Lani in a daze.
