"Your Majesty, you guessed wrong this time!" A light gray figure appeared on the terrace, just in time to see Yolande reclining on a lounge chair, staring at the night sky in trance. There was something bright and shining in the corner of his eyes. , the figure was stunned, and whispered: "Sorry, Your Majesty, I bother you, you...remembered..."

"It doesn't matter." Yolande said calmly: "What were you talking about just now?"

"This time, you guessed wrong." The figure smiled. He didn't want to get entangled in the topic that made Yolande sad, so he said smoothly: "The army of Shansha Empire has been demoralized. Without Sejialan, they have also lost their morale. Having lost all fighting spirit, and their alliance no longer exists, Manchusili returned to Blackwater City. The Holy See also made a new decision the day before yesterday, ordering the Bright Knights to remain neutral and not to compete with the Mao Empire. The armies clashed, Your Majesty, victory is at hand!”

"Oh?" Yolande had a surprised look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I remember clearly what you said!" The figure smiled and said: "You said that once Sejialan dies, the Shansha Empire will definitely react strongly, and it does not even rule out the possibility of launching a decisive battle in advance. Sex, now it seems that you overestimate them."

Yolande sat up slowly, looked at the night sky, and then turned his attention to the stone slab at his feet. He paced back and forth with a pause, his expression solemn, as if something was stumping him.

Yolande rarely showed such an expression. The figure felt something and couldn't help but asked softly: "Your Majesty, is there... something wrong?"

"You don't understand what the person sitting on the throne cares about most, so it's hard for you to guess my thoughts, and it's also hard for you to guess what Edward VIII thinks." Yolande said lightly: "Although you can't Deny that Edward VIII had many shortcomings, such as being timid and stingy. It can even be said that he was an incompetent king. But don’t forget that in the face of the danger of losing everything, no matter how timid a person is, he may become Get crazy!”

"Your Majesty. My people reported that when Edward VIII learned about the assassination of Sejialan, he became furious and even killed several maids on the pretext. It is obvious that he is now panicked."

"My old friend, it's not that Edward is panicking, but that you are too excited. With your eyesight. If you can calm down, you should be able to find the problem here." Yolande smiled: "We all think that Edward VIII The world is incompetent, but only we are qualified to think that Edward VIII is incompetent. Think about it, is Edward VIII really that incompetent? Like the most despicable farmer, he only dares to vent his anger and fear On to the family!”

"this…"

"If what you are telling is the truth, then it is even more suspicious. Why does such an Edward sit on the throne?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

"A person who is about to drown will hold on to a straw even if he sees it!" Yolander said slowly: "Although the loss of Sejialan caused a major blow to Edward VIII, he still had something in his hands. There is an army. It has been more than ten days. How could he let the army go into chaos? Do you really think that a king's binding force on the army is so fragile? As soon as Sejialan died, the entire army collapsed? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were Are you loyal to the king or to Sejialan? Haha..."

"Your Majesty, do you think they have a conspiracy?"

"I don't know. I only know what Edward VIII should do now!" Yolande said decisively: "The army led by Sejialan was claimed to be 170,000. In fact, according to our intelligence, she The army under his command should be 230,000! The Shansha Empire only has a total of 310,000 regular troops. If Sejialan's army is annihilated or defeated, the foundation of the entire empire will completely collapse. Can Edward VIII just sit back and wait for death? !”

"Furthermore, where is Sejialan stationed? She is by the Blackwater River! Do they have a way out! Passing through most of the mercenary country, passing through Anfei's Baishan City and Marino's Storm Castle. Withdrawing to the mainland? That is simply a joke. !" Yolander shook his head and said: "So I think that Edward will become a gambler who is red-eyed about losing. He will spend all his capital and concentrate on fighting our empire to the death. Remember, we will die together. Fight to the death! This is what a monarch should do. Even though he is very incompetent, at the last minute. He will not even have this bit of courage!"

"Then what are they doing?" The light gray figure frowned: "My people reported that the Alison Empire has been mobilizing its troops frequently recently, and the first fleeing army of the Shansha Empire has been fleeing to the northwest. I I thought they were going to flee to the Allison Empire, and the Allison Empire was going to send troops to meet them."

"This is even more ridiculous." Yolander sneered: "Is the relationship between allies so close? For example, let's say... We all know An Fei well. He and Marino are friends, but he can Give Susanna to Marino and let Marino take command?"

"The young couple have always been inseparable. How could An Fei let go?" The light gray figure laughed.

"Edward VIII is even more reluctant to bear it. The 230,000 troops led by Sejialan are his **!"

"I can't figure it out. What are they trying to do? Is it... to lure the enemy?"

"It doesn't matter what they want to do, what matters is what we are going to do next." Yolander paused for a moment, and suddenly said calmly: "Now... Mioric's wish should be fulfilled."

"He will be too excited to sleep." The figure smiled: "But what about Marshal Beeri? He is waiting for your order."

"He can do whatever he wants." Yolander thought for a while: "But... I need to write a letter to Beeri, and ask your people to deliver the letter directly to Beeri."

"Understood." The light gray figure responded softly.

When Yolande was talking to his closest old friend, the three masters of the undead who had been together for hundreds of years and had a closer relationship also met. In fact, they had been separated for more than 20 years. There should be something to say when they met on the first day. It was appropriate not to finish the words, but Gorman, Morgan and Darth Vadera were relatively speechless. After a while, Morgan broke the silence first: "Gorman, lead us here, you should be ready. Yes, come back with us."

"I'm not going back." Gorman slowly shook his head.

"You..." Morgan smiled bitterly: "In the past, I could not find you, but you have activated the Ring of Immortality, so there is no reason why I can't find you!"

"I also hope you don't go back."

As soon as these words were spoken, Morgan and Darth Vader became stunned on the spot. Although the muscles on the Necromancer's face were a little stiff and it was difficult to fully express the inner emotional changes, the expressions they now showed were full of proof that they What a shock.

"Do you think it's possible?" Darth Vadera said coldly. Gorman meant for them to betray Minos I, or even openly betray him. This idea is so crazy!

"Do you believe me or not?" Gorman seemed not to feel Darthvidaya's attitude, but his tone was still very sincere.

"Gorman, if I didn't believe you, I would have caught you twenty years ago!" Morgan said slowly: "Gorman, I used to think you were the smartest person. Who would have thought you were so naive? , I’m sorry, we really can’t help you, just come with us!”

"Actually... I know what you are thinking. You have been working hard to enhance your strength. In the future, even if the teacher really destroys all life, you can join forces to fight against the teacher. At least, you can still exist." Ge Man smiled: "In my opinion, your ideas are more naive than mine!"

"Gorman, what do you mean?" Morgan's face jumped. In fact, confrontation with the teacher has become inevitable. No one is willing to be a victim, but there are huge differences between them as to what kind of confrontation method to choose. , now Morgan knows that there is a huge disparity in strength, and has no courage to express his attitude.

"I mean, since my betrayal, the teacher should also have become suspicious of you. His attitude towards you is much colder than before, right?"

Morgan and Darth Vadera looked at each other, but neither answered.

"In comparison, Darth Vadera is safer. Morgan, your situation is already very dangerous!"

"Gorman, please speak clearly!"

"Over the years, the teacher has asked you to hunt me down and look for the Ring of Immortality. I know that you can't bear to kill me because of the relationship between us. In fact, the teacher also knows." Gorman said softly: "But Has he ever punished you? Morgan, this is not generosity, but accumulation. After the teacher destroys me, you will be next, and he has enough reasons to destroy you! Where is the chance for you to join forces? If we must say Yes, it can only be now!”

"Wait a minute, Gorman!" Darth Vadera interjected: "Since you said I am safe, why do I need to stay?"

"Morgan and I joined forces. Two of the teacher's students betrayed him one after another. Can you maintain your loyalty? Even if you can, what will the teacher think?" Gorman said slowly: "Then, the first one to be betrayed It will be you who is ruined.”

If placed in modern times, Gorman's remarks would be a subterfuge, but neither Morgan nor Darth Vadera had this concept, and their expressions became very ugly.

"The Ring of Immortality was sealed by me in a unique way. No one can open the seal except me. Therefore, the teacher will use all means to solidify my soul and never allow me to dissipate. Then, the teacher will You can know the relationship between us, and even know our conversation today!" Gorman said softly: "Morgan, Darth Vadera, do you still want me to go back with you?"
