"I have to go first."
"What's wrong?" Nora and Aurelion asked in unison.
"My wife Peggy is in danger. I want to go find her." Reiner frowned.
Reiner felt the magic stone carried by Paige, and was infused with a trace of magic power by her.
She was away from home all year round, and Reiner was worried about her safety, so he first equipped her with a throwing knife carved from magic stone, the same kind that Nora had thrown during the battle just now.
Reiner was teleported in an instant before he could explain in detail.
As his vision changed rapidly, he came to a forest.
Peggy stood in front of him with her big belly. She was covered in dust and had small scratches on her hands.
After looking at Reiner, she breathed a sigh of relief: "My benefactor..."
Several other demihuman guards also hid behind the trees, all of them with injuries to varying degrees.
"What's wrong?"
Reiner expanded his domain and sensed that about forty people dressed as bandits were hiding behind the trees. They seemed to have taken control of Peggy's caravan and killed several guards.
"After the caravan left Merode, it was attacked in the Dawn Forest. These guys ambushed us around the magic stone we use for teleportation.
They are not ordinary bandits, but members of the elite knights and magician corps of the Kingdom of Roseno, and their goal is definitely to capture me.
Someone was killed protecting me..."
Peggy bared her teeth when she said this.
Reiner's face was gloomy. Someone from the Kingdom of Rossno actually reached out to his pregnant wife.
He planned to quietly accumulate national strength first, and then take action against Rossno when the time was right.
It now appears that the grand unification plan will be partially advanced.
Just then, a man's voice came from the distance.
"Miss Peggy, everyone around here is ours, you can't escape. We put a lot of effort into catching you. You are such a cunning fox."
Reiner sensed that the man was grabbing a demi-human guard by the rabbit ears and holding a dagger to her neck.
"Lay down your weapons and surrender. At least your loyal guards can leave here safely."
"Lady Peggy, leave me alone and run!" The rabbit-like demihuman turned around and looked at the man who was holding his ear, and said viciously, "Just wait, the iron hooves of Northend will trample every inch of your kingdom, and your king will be hanged on the mountaintop and eaten by vultures!"
She was slapped hard.
The man said with a ferocious look on his face: "Peggy! If you don't get out here, I'll chop off her head!"
"Wife, wait here for me for a moment." Reiner put Nora down from his arms, then pushed aside the bushes and walked out.
The man was stunned when he saw Reiner: "Who are you?"
Reiner got up today and went out without even wearing his crown.
The Rabbit-Ami started to struggle after seeing Reiner, and shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty?" The man looked Reiner up and down, and before he could speak, the magicians around him immediately raised their wands and pointed them at Reiner's head.
They seemed to have heard of Reiner's name, and the rabbit-like demihuman's cry of "Your Majesty" made them panic at a speed visible to the naked eye...
"Are you... the King of North Germany?"
Reiner nodded honestly, then slowly said, "Yes, from now on, none of you will be able to leave the forest alive."
