When Maka and a group of friends were hiding in a secret island to accumulate strength, the hustle and bustle of the outside world was getting louder and louder. In the past, Britain lost a large area of territory and the royal family fled the country. After that, more major events occurred frequently.
For example, the retreat and defeat of the entire British island's military forces were clearly swallowed up by Haierbo. But after various European countries successively welcomed Britain's first heir to exile in Norway and accept asylum, several "big mushrooms" were suddenly planted between the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh in the north of England.
No one knows which force did it... Of course, even if someone knew, they probably wouldn't take the initiative to say it.
But it’s not that difficult to guess why these “fire mushrooms” landed there—that line is the front end of the Haierbo fog that erodes and spreads all the way north. After such a round of indiscriminate bombing After that, the fog finally stopped advancing, giving the remaining land in Britain that was not shrouded in gray fog a chance to survive.
It has to be said that in fact, the heads of state know that no matter how it develops in the future, Britain is almost finished. And the forces that caused those "mushrooms" to fall were just trying to contain Haierbo for a while.
After this incident, the attention of all "discerning people" in Europe finally turned to an invitation to an international conference proposed by France. Regarding the increasingly huge threat posed by Haierbo, the "big guys" also It's time to come up with a countermeasure.
As for the British royal family, which is now severely frustrated... Although there seems to be an unexpected incident in the Norwegian royal palace, there are not many followers left.
…
"Your Highness, although the current situation has gotten worse, there is no need for us to be pessimistic to the point of despair. Haierbo's invasion of the country is different from other countries' invasion of us. Obviously no one dares to take it easy now. Set foot on that land shrouded in mist..."
"And we know that McClain is the only one who can deal with Herbo at the moment, and as long as he is not dead, he will definitely come back!"
Old Davidson whispered his opinions in the prince's room, trying to comfort him who was feeling a little depressed.
However, even the prince could barely act calmly in front of the King and Crown Prince of Norway, and he could even show a slight smile. But now in private, even with the comfort of the old bishop, the future direction for him is still confused.
"But McClain doesn't like me, does he?" The prince rubbed his forehead and said slowly, "Of course, he probably hates you more than me."
"Well," Davidson couldn't help but be speechless for a moment, but he quickly shook his head and said, "But even so, as long as we don't interfere when he comes back, he probably won't come to make things difficult for us. Isn’t it? So, we just need to wait quietly. When he solves Haierbo, someone will eventually need to take over such a big stall - he is not interested in that, we all know this! "
But after hearing what he said, the prince still shook his head and said:
"Let's not say whether he will eventually let us take over and continue to rule, but this battle has cost us too much power. There is no doubt that as soon as the threat of Haierbo is removed, the surrounding countries that are eyeing him will immediately will start to reach out to our country - do you think we can hold it?"
The cruel reality is naturally disappointing. Because even if he is not the so-called "King of Subjugation", the current situation is not much different.
Yes, old Bishop Davidson's point of view is actually correct. If Maca can come back and eliminate Haierbo, then the prince will still have some hope of restoration.
Unfortunately, their relationship with Maka is not good.
As for the prince's pessimism, it comes more from the loss of national power. So even if he takes 10,000 steps back - even if he is willing to abandon his dignity and rely on Maka, it must be of value, right
After a long silence, Davidson, who was deep in thought, finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Let's take refuge in Haierbo!"
"What?" When the prince heard this, he said in shock, "This... didn't you say that this is the only option that cannot be touched?"
"Yes," Old Davidson sighed, "That Haierbo is crazy and inhumane. Even several groups of dark wizards who had shown absolute loyalty to him were regarded as worthless abandoned children by him. What's more, Let alone us... In his eyes, I'm afraid there is no such thing as a 'companion' at all!"
"Then you still-"
The prince was about to ask, but saw Davidson wave his hand gently.
"But what if we have something he wants?"
The old bishop's expression looked very solemn, and it could be seen that he actually felt very stressed about his decision.
Opposite him, the prince hurriedly said:
"what?"
Soon, Davidson smiled slightly, seeming to want both himself and the prince to relax. Unfortunately, his smile was full of nervousness, and this was obviously counterproductive.
"Of course it's about McClain," he paused, then whispered, "Didn't he send away a group of refugees who were related to him earlier? He... Oh no! Your Highness, don't say that. Don’t tell me where they are! This is our only bargaining chip.”
When the prince saw this, he could not help but frown slightly and nodded.
"How to say?"
"That's right," Old Davidson said, "I plan to meet with Herbo in person and use this bargaining chip to exchange for the opportunity for him to leave the British land with his army of zombies and the fog - we can't ask for any power from him. , that would leave too many hidden dangers. And because if I hold this bargaining chip myself, it will be easily obtained by Haierbo, so it can only remain in your hands, Your Highness."
Having said this, he thought about it and then added:
"This plan can only be implemented after McClane comes back, preferably when he starts to counterattack against Haierbo... If Haierbo still has the upper hand, but still cannot easily take down McClane, then our chance will be coming!"
"Well, this plan—"
After hearing this, the prince seemed to be convinced.
I saw him pondering for a moment, and was about to say something more, but at this moment, there was a sudden polite knock on the door.
Then, someone outside was heard saying loudly:
"His Royal Highness, Mr. Davidson, the two leaders of your Royal Guard have arrived at the palace, and our Majesty is waiting for you to go."
