"Me?" Regnar pointed to himself in surprise, and glanced at Number 1, who was standing not far away. Regnar had to admire this woman's acting skills. The current number one really looked like a dedicated guard. She stood there motionless like a stone pillar, seemingly completely unaware of the conversation between Regnar and Alexander. Do not care.
But even if she didn't care, Regnar was still worried that the nobles standing around talking would hear something they shouldn't hear. The entire venue is still in the entry stage, so many nobles are still chatting casually outside.
"Then let's go for a walk in the garden." Alexander quickly responded.
"What kind of thing is it for two big men to take a walk...to enjoy the moon together?" Regnar couldn't help but complain, but he still followed Alexander towards the sparsely populated garden. Of course, No. 1 still had to follow me obediently.
"The war between the two empires has reached its final stage." Alexander analyzed and said: "According to my judgment, if the newly added barbarian manpower in the north and the weapons and armaments of the dark elves can function as expected, If it works. Then I am confident that this long war will be ended before next winter."
Regnar's heart moved slightly, because Alexander just said that he would end this war. From this point of view, this guy's control over the military has indeed become stronger and stronger. At the same time, given Alexander's attentiveness, since he could say such things in front of Regnar, it seemed that he really did not regard himself as an outsider. This made Regnar trust Alexander a little more.
"After the war is over, I will make a request to my father. I want to marry Lisanna." Alexander did not forget to add this. He spread his hands and said: "Then I will probably be an idle prince in Merindl, or maybe travel to Lance continent with Lisanna for a while. This is my plan. So, I want to ask, wait until What do you want to do after the war is over?"
"..." Regnar looked at Alexander, but did not answer immediately. He said, "I have a few questions to ask. First of all, to what extent will the so-called war in your mouth end? Will it reach the thousand-year-old capital? ?”
"It's far more than that." Alexander waved his index finger and said with a smile: "The end in my mouth means that the Stoke Empire completely ceases to exist."
"..." Regnar glanced at No. 1 in the distance. After confirming that the woman could not hear his conversation, Regnar continued: "I have been to the thousand-year-old capital, and I can tell you clearly that that The grandeur of the capital city exceeds your imagination. With the empire’s current military strength, it will be difficult to capture that capital city in a short time.”
"Who said I was going to attack the city?" Alexander smiled pretending to be mysterious: "War is not as simple as sending troops to kill each other, my friend. Even two brothers will do it when they are fighting for territory. Use all kinds of intrigues and strategies to sow discord. War is a thing that squeezes human wisdom, physical fitness, dignity, and thoughts to the limit. Because it is a gamble with life as a bet. In the face of death, Under threat, people will tap into any of their potential, no matter whether it is good or bad. The weak will be eliminated and die, and the strong ones who survive will not be much better. Because they will become a person who is not even themselves. There are deformed monsters that may not be recognized... Hey, don't look at me like that. Although you often go through life and death to carry out assassination missions in the enemy's hinterland, you rarely see the kind of corpses littering the fields, with tens of thousands of mutilated limbs and blood flying all over the sky. scene. If you see that kind of scene every day, you will understand that what I said is true."
"So you are deformed?" Regnar joked: "Let a good girl pick up a sword and fight for herself, while you study with a group of men all day long on how to kill another group of men?"
"To be honest, the war has changed me a lot, but I can guarantee that my change is definitely not the kind you said..." Alexander sighed helplessly and gave the answer equally seriously.
"It's up to you." Regnar shrugged and said, "So, no matter what method you use, you have the means to capture the thousand-year-old capital. Right?"
"Yes, you can think so." Alexander admitted, but he added in his heart: If the thousand-year-old city you are talking about only refers to the buildings... As for the people inside...
"I understand." Regnar nodded. He did not doubt Alexander's words. He knew that this guy never said anything he was unsure of.
Regnar, Alexander and No. 1 walked into the garden again. At this time, only the two men and a woman pretending to be a man were left in the garden.
"Then comes the second question." Regnar turned his head and stared suddenly into Alexander's eyes. He asked directly in a low voice: "Is your next plan really to be an idle prince?"
"What do you think?" Alexander didn't pay much attention to Regnar's sudden question, but he looked elsewhere, as if he didn't dare to look at Regnar.
"No." Regnar said affirmatively: "If you really planned to do this, then you wouldn't work so hard in the military. Don't tell me that you did this just to allow the empire to gain peace forever. I do not believe."
"..." Alexander didn't answer. He just looked at No. 1 in the distance expressionlessly, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
Regnar also didn't speak. He waited patiently and believed that Alexander would finally show off his cards. Because Alexander himself also understood that the military alone was not enough for Alexander to compete with Joffrey and Alfred. Regnar also has two good cards in his hand, one is the Military Intelligence Agency in his own hand, and the other is the Second Magic Academy controlled by Annelotte.
"Okay, you win." Alexander was silent for ten minutes before continuing: "That's right, I don't want to just be an idle prince forever, I want to compete."
"I can help you." Regnar said directly. Since Alexander dared to be honest with him, he would naturally not hide it anymore. Only he added: "But I have a condition."
"Go ahead." Alexander frowned, as if he had guessed something.
"Alfred, you must die." Regner's eyes flashed with hatred, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "I don't ask for any official position, title, money or beauty. The first three are the most important to me. I don’t care, I’ve had enough with that last one.”
"Actually, you don't know." Alexander interrupted him: "Even I would be jealous if you said this."
"That's not the point." Regnar was unusually serious at this time, and he said coldly: "What I mean is that either I already have those worldly things to the point of complete satisfaction, or I have no interest in them at all. So, you don’t need to think of ways to win over me. The only way to win over me is... "
"Is it Lord Alfred's head?" Alexander sighed and answered.
"That's right." Regnar nodded: "Actually, if possible, I really want to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion and kill that old immortal right now."
"Don't do this, Regnar, the empire needs him now, and doing this will make it difficult for you and the people around you forever." Alexander hurriedly persuaded.
"I understand this, so I didn't do it." Regnar's tone was a bit cold: "So, I chose a better way of revenge. I want to completely destroy the Luo Lin family and give him everything he has in this life. Everything in the business has come to nothing!”
"..." Alexander scratched his hair in distress. He looked at Regner who looked bitter and resentful, and then asked in confusion: "I am also very sorry about Mr. Kordak, but, really What about it?"
"As for that?" Regnar sneered. He stared into Alexander's eyes, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Let me tell you, the matter is far more than just the boss's ruin. He, Alfred, owes me something called The life of Rondo’s good man, the abuse Sister Vera experienced for several months, the struggle of the old man in Manhattan... and... the old man and his whole family... "
"Old man?" Alexander was stunned. He knew all the people Regnar mentioned before, but he didn't know who the last old man was.
"You don't need to know about this, and you won't care about it, but it's different for me." Regnar waved his hand.
In fact, ever since Kordak was forced to leave the Chino continent, Regnar began to investigate Alfred. During the investigation, he also accidentally discovered something. Alfred was not only the culprit who forced Kordak and Silenos to come to the continent of Lance to work for a living. He was also the culprit behind the death of the kind old man who had raised him for several years.
The old man used to be one of the arms suppliers of the Hawke Empire, but he had a rift with Alfred, who was once the Minister of Military Affairs. In the end, Alfred caused the death of the old man's family, and even his grandson who was just one month old died.
The old man who was lucky enough to escape unexpectedly did not leave Melinder. He settled in the slums and later picked up the baby Regnar who was abandoned by some cruel parents. Then they relied on begging and some cultural knowledge that the coolies thought was not very useful.
When Regnar learned about this, a fragment of his childhood memory was awakened. Only then did he understand why the old man was unwilling to say before he died: "I have stayed in Melinder for such a long time, but I still haven't waited for you to die? Is it really true to that sentence? Good people don't live long, and disasters are harmful to the legacy." millennium?"
"No." From that moment on, Regnar said in his heart to the old man who raised him: "I will prove it to you."
And this incident also made Regnar more determined to bring down Alfred.
