Chapter 540 The Final Prize
Edward II finally walked up to Ilea. The smile on his face could no longer be suppressed. Without saying anything, he reached out his hand and patted Miss Rabbit on the shoulder.
It didn't matter that he took the shot, he just gave it to the female lord, who staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The emperor was a little confused now. He didn't seem to expect that the first warrior of the empire had such a fragile body, but he quickly found an excuse for the girl.
"You're injured. You were injured in the battle just now. It doesn't matter. Do you want Mesha to take a look at you again?"
"Well... no need, I can raise it myself." Miss Rabbit said vaguely.
Edward II nodded, then laughed and said, "I was right, Ilea, you did a good job, defeating that winged bastard, do you remember what I told you before, thirty thousand I will give you the golden lion and the crab horns.”
As soon as he said these words, the other contestants cast envious and jealous glances at the female lord.
Originally, the rewards they received were generous enough, but compared with the girl, they were nothing at all.
You know, that's Crab Corner. Maritime trade alone can bring in hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year.
And as if he felt that such a reward was not enough, the emperor blinked at the female lord again.
"In addition, I have a big gift for you."
When the girl heard this, instead of being happy, her heart tightened.
Sure enough, what was supposed to come finally came.
Edward II waved to his third son, "Come here, Allister. Oh, and remember to bring my wine glass. Today is a happy day, and we have to celebrate it."< br>
"Yes, my father." Allister took the golden wine glass from the sommelier's hand and walked down the stage.
Miss Rabbit had heard some rumors about this prince before. It was said that he was the youngest and most handsome of all the sons of Edward II.
With short red hair and a light stubble on his chin, coupled with a strong figure and a sunny smile, he is the dream lover of many girls in the capital.
The female lord also had to admit that the prince was indeed very handsome, and Edward II had spent enough money to win the New World.
No, Allister is relatively low in the line of succession. He is not as good as his two brothers. Becoming the lord of the New World is also a good way out for him. It seems that Edward II also likes this son. .
While Miss Rabbit was looking at the young prince in front of her, Allister was also looking at Ilea curiously.
He had heard about the reputation of this female lord about half a year ago. At that time, people in the royal capital generally felt that the fourth female knight of the empire should be strong and taller than a man, and very capable of fighting.
As a result, when I saw her in person, she could really fight, but she didn't look much different from other girls. She wasn't as beautiful as a fairy, but she was pretty good-looking.
Especially the pair of long ears. The third prince had never seen such flexible ears before, but he found that the female lord looked at him a little warily, as if he was some kind of bad guy.
"Are you satisfied?" Edward II asked.
Allister gave the girl a friendly smile and said, "Your Majesty will arrange everything."
Edward II was very satisfied with his answer, took the wine glass from his hand, and said to the female lord.
"Even if you get the crab horns by yourself, it is probably difficult to suppress the nobles of the New World. Those guys are very old-fashioned and exclusive and will not be willing to be ruled by an outsider, so I plan to give you this last gift. Send you someone else.”
Edward II frowned as he took a sip of wine from the glass, "With the help of this person, you will be able to have the legal principles to rule the New World. At least they can no longer call you an outsider."
The development of the matter was almost as Li Yu predicted, so the girl also opened her mouth and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I don't want it anymore."
"Don't refuse in a hurry." Edward II drank the wine in his glass. "I know that you are superb in martial arts, but some things cannot be solved by martial arts alone."
Before the female lord could speak again, the emperor patted her shoulder again, this time much softer, "Don't worry, your martial arts will be useful again soon. In fact, it's not just you; .”
Edward II turned his attention to other contestants, "Some time ago I received an oracle from the goddess of life. She warned me that a group of invaders was about to appear."
His Majesty the Emperor raised his voice a little, "You saw that guy with wings on his back. They come from the continent outside Bratis and call themselves the Wing Clan.
"They believe in an evil god and are burning, killing and looting everywhere. This time they have focused on us. They had previously sent people to lurk in the Western Region and brought a dragon egg with them, which hatched out a black dragon.
"You should also know what happened next. Sir Ilea killed the black dragon and found the spies hidden in the Western Region by the Wing Tribe.
"But the danger has not passed, and there is not only one spy. According to the information I have received, those Wing Clan spies have been very active in our two neighbors recently.
"Many people are bewitched by them. If there is no way to deal with these threats in advance, once those wing bandits come to us, we may become very passive.
"So I decided to take a preemptive strike." Edward II said with bright eyes, "Tell our neighbors which side they should stand on."
His Majesty's words caused an uproar.
The continent of Bratis has been at peace for hundreds of years, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to this long peace. No one expected that war would come so unexpectedly.
According to Edward II, he hopes to find out who the dwarves and elves are colluding with the Winged Clan, so that everyone can work together to defend against foreign enemies in the future.
But let’s not talk about whether the collusion between the two countries and the Wing Clan is true or false. The fact that the Wing Clan is about to invade alone is worth debating.
Although Moen's martial arts and flying abilities just displayed were amazing, if his opponent was not Ilea but someone else, everyone present had no confidence that he could defeat him.
But after all, there is only one person in Moen. Even if you add Gabriel, there are only two people. It is unrealistic to invade a continent with such a small number of people. As for the other people, there is no trace at the moment.
Edward II is a bit unfounded. Most people are more willing to believe that this emperor is a drunkard and has no intention of drinking. The so-called invasion of the Wing Clan is just an excuse.
Edward II looked around and saw everyone's reactions. At the same time, a blazing fire ignited in his chest. He was planning to continue mobilizing before the war.
But suddenly I heard Alister on the side exclaim, "Father, your eyes!"
Edward II reached out and touched his face, and found blood on his palm, and then his vision began to blur.
Edward II's expression gradually changed from the confident one to one of panic, and he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Quick, go find the Cornelia priest to save..."
However, he was only halfway through his words when his whole body fell forward. (End of chapter)
