"No matter what, we are old friends who have fought side by side for so many years. You really have the guts to do it." The orc looked at the broken Regna beside him, and then said to Alexander.
"This is an internal matter among us humans and has nothing to do with you, an orc!" Alexander grabbed Haoyue and rushed forward again. He still doesn't know the identity of this orc, but judging from the intensity of the orc's blow just now, Alexander estimates that this orc is just a 19th-level high-level warrior. Faced with his attribute ability that has entered the holy realm, However, Alexander did not feel that he would lose.
But when the second prince got close to the orc, he realized how wrong he was. When Alexander swung his sword and tried to cut off the orc's head, a majestic aura comparable to the ancient monsters suddenly burst out from the orc's body. At the moment when Alexander was stunned by the sudden outbreak of the orc, the giant orc moved, and that It was a straight punch without any fancy, almost no technique at all, but it was accompanied by unstoppable and amazing power and terrifying speed as fast as lightning.
boom!
The orc just punched Alexander in the chest, and the blast caused by the fist was even comparable to the fireball spell released by the mage. You know, this was a casual blow from the orc!
There was no doubt that Alexander flew out again. Unlike last time, this time Alexander clearly felt that his sternum was shattered. His heart even stopped beating for a few seconds due to the squeezing of the huge force. If it weren't for the light, As his body continued to recover, the orc's casual punch might be enough to kill Alexander instantly!
Due to the violent impact, Alexander's head was dazed for at least ten minutes. When he regained consciousness again, the orc still did not leave. At this time, the guy was squatting next to Regnar, smearing Regnar's body with ointment he got from somewhere. And under the influence of those strange ointments, Regnar's broken body began to recover, and even the broken limbs began to grow slowly again.
"This is the holy medicine prepared for me by Xiao Aoju's empire. This time it will be easier for you, kid." The orc used his thick fingers to carefully apply it on Regnar's body and murmured.
Seeing this scene, Alexander's face became ugly. From the brief exchange just now, he had already guessed the identity of the orc, and now if the orc showed such obvious kindness to Regnar, then Alexander felt I'm afraid I won't be able to kill Regnar today no matter what.
But the second prince still did not give up. He stood up with difficulty holding his sword and said loudly to the orcs: "Your Excellency, is Clayton, known as the Blood God of War among the orcs?"
"It seems that I, Clayton, am somewhat famous. Even people in another continent know my name." The orc replied while concentrating on daubing it. He didn't even look at Alexander.
"Then do you know who the person next to you is?" Alexander asked.
"I know, Regnar, Regnar's Dark Elegy is an ineffective little assassin." Clayton said calmly, as if he had no idea that the "ineffective little assassin" he mentioned had almost destroyed Merindel just now.
"Then your Excellency, do you know that Regnar was the culprit who nearly destroyed the entire human race on the Chino Continent? Just now, he even almost destroyed the entire Merindel?!" Alexander raised the bright moon and asked sternly.
"oh."
"oh?"
"What you said has nothing to do with me, so I can only answer this." Clayton seemed to have finished treating Regnar. He stood up and looked at Alexander and said: "Listen, human boy , I don’t know and I don’t care how many plans, conspiracies and tricks you have here, these things have nothing to do with me. However, this boy is benevolent to our orc warchief. The benefactor of the warchief is the benefactor of our orc clan, and We orcs always retaliate, so I, Clayton, must protect this boy today. If you want to stop me, then just try."
"Could your Excellency say this because you want to cause a war between the Orc Empire and the Chino Continent?!" Alexander's eyes turned cold.
"Watch your words, kid!" The orc roared, as loud as thunder and as powerful as a dragon: "I don't care what status you have among humans, even if you really command the entire Kino continent. The power of human beings is not scary to me. You humans in Chino Continent have reached the brink of social collapse due to wars and disasters. Even at this time, do you still want to fight against the Orc Empire?"
"..." Alexander didn't speak anymore. In fact, he knew very well that the current Hawke Empire was unable to launch any more wars. The reason why he said this just now was just to force Clayton to give in.
"If you really want a war, then come!" Clayton hugged Regnar with one hand: "Orcs have always been a fighting race. To be honest, I even feel that in the past few years, we have The Nine Cities Alliance has been at peace for long enough, maybe it’s time for another fight with you people from the Chino Continent?”
"You!" Alexander was choked and speechless. He never expected that Clayton's response would be so strong.
"Hmph!" Clayton looked at Alexander with disdain, then jumped up and flew directly into the sky like a cannonball.
Seeing Clayton leaving, Alexander, who had been gritting his teeth and persisting, could no longer hold on. His eyes darkened, and he eventually passed out due to serious injuries.
A few days later, Alexander finally woke up.
"Your Majesty! Are you awake?!" In his daze, Alexander vaguely heard the call of the palace maid. He felt dizzy and fell asleep again.
A few hours later, Alexander woke up again. This time, he was finally much better than before.
"Your Majesty..." Alexander just opened his eyes and saw Alfred kneeling on one knee.
"It's you, Alfred..." Alexander slowly tried to sit up.
Alfred hurriedly helped him and asked: "Your Majesty, after everyone left for a long time, they didn't see any movement from Merindel, so I took several other soldiers from the city defense team and rushed back, so I found you lying in the square, and Regna..."
"..." Alexander was silent for a moment, and finally answered truthfully: "He was rescued by Clayton and is now missing."
"Clayton, the bloody god of war of the orcs?" Alfred's eyelids twitched.
"That's really a monster..." Alexander smiled bitterly.
"So, what should we say about Regna?"
Alexander thought for a while and said: "This matter needs to be kept secret. Only the two of us know about it. Let's just say that he is dead and the empire's crisis has been resolved."
"Yes..." Alfred nodded, and then asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that you woke up and the ministers of the empire are waiting in the palace meeting hall. Do you want them to come and see you too?"
"Let... them come in too." Alexander rubbed his temples. He had just woken up and did not notice the change in Alfred's address to him.
After a while, the ministers of the empire came in one after another. They all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Alexander was safe and sound. Then, under the leadership of Finance Minister Andrew, everyone else knelt on the ground: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for waking up safely."
"Your Majesty?" Alexander was stunned, and then he realized the problem with the title.
"His Majesty the late King Larvin has passed away, and the eldest prince Joffrey was also assassinated by Regnar. Now this empire needs you to lead it." Alfred said to Alexander.
"..." Alexander looked at the ministers present and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath: "Announce to the world, starting from tomorrow, I, Alexander Hawk, will become the third king of the Hawk Empire. In addition, according to my decree, starting tomorrow, the empire will begin a month-long mourning period. The entire empire, from the king to the slaves, must eat fast food and not kill at will. This is to commemorate those who fought in the Civil War and the tide of death. The heroes who died in battle.”
