"So... I came all the way here and helped you fight off an attack by 40,000 troops, and you just give me a bowl of instant noodles?"

Looking at the instant noodles in front of him, Fang Zheng was extremely unhappy.

"Eh? You don't like it? I thought you would like it... Ikki took me to eat it before, it was delicious?"

"At least we need some local specialties. We haven't had enough of this stuff in Academy City, and we need to eat it here... Never mind, just complaining. I know that princesses like you are spoiled. You must have never eaten junk food before, so you are so obsessed with it..."

Fang Zheng waved his hands helplessly.

"I've heard everything. What's going on with that puppet king?"

"Well……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Stella looked at Kurogane Ikki a little embarrassedly.

"Actually, it was during the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival..."

"Oh, you guys got yourself into trouble, I see."

Fang Zheng understood immediately.

"So what now? You want me to help you take out that idiot?"

"this……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Stella hesitated. Generally speaking, the other party was an outsider and this was a war between two countries, so it was not easy for her to ask Fang Zheng to help. But on the other hand, she was afraid that Fang Zheng was the only one who could rely on for this war.

After all, the other party has manipulated all the citizens of Quedollan. If they launch an attack, Stella has no doubt that the evil guy will manipulate the men, women and children of Quedollan to resist the attack. Facing those ordinary people, can their army really do it?

But on the battlefield it's a life-and-death fight!

Although the inherent spiritual suit of the swordsman has a safe mode, in fact, this mode mainly targets the opponent's will. In simple terms, as long as the will is strong enough, it can resist the attack damage of the spiritual suit. Or if there is no will, then naturally there will be no effect. Now all the people of Quedollan are controlled by the Puppet King, that is, puppets without self-will, and the inherent spiritual suit can do very little.

On the other hand, only the Dawn Star Mark held by Fang Zheng can make the opponent lose their combat effectiveness without causing fatal damage to them - of course, sleeping for a day or two is inevitable.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Fang Zheng is the most suitable person to face this war.

But the problem is that Fang Zheng actually has no reason to get involved in this war. After all, this war has nothing to do with Fang Zheng. Stella and Kurogane Ikki caused all this. He can just walk away without having to worry about these troubles. Helping to stop the invasion of the Quedolan army was already a great favor to Familion. Asking him to help eliminate the culprit is a bit...

"I was hoping you could help, Kasugano-kun."

At this time, Stella's father, the king of Famillion, also came over and bowed his head to Fang Zheng.

"There should be no bloodshed between us and Quedollan. This is the peace we have worked so hard to establish. We do not want to destroy it."

"To be honest, I don't understand the feud between your two countries, but I don't care. After all, it has nothing to do with me."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"It's not impossible for me to help you. I have some matters that I hope to discuss with His Majesty the King in person."

"That's certainly no problem."

Convincing the King of Familion is not much easier than convincing Lezetania, because Fang Zheng's requirements are also different.

"You mean, you want us to stop supporting the Swordbreaker Alliance politically..."

After listening to Fang Zheng's words, the king frowned.

"That's right. If the Xingmai Generation wants to stand up, they must unify their internal thoughts, but the Swordbreakers are really not the same as us. So we will definitely destroy them. Therefore, I hope you can unite other countries related to the Swordbreaker Alliance and stop supporting them politically to avoid accidental conflicts... After all, I think you have seen that we are not afraid of war."

“Woo…”

"I also know very well that the reason you chose to join the Swordbreaker Alliance is to use the Swordbreaker's power to offset the influence of the Unified Enterprise Chaebol. Once the Unified Enterprise Chaebol is destroyed, the connection between you and the Swordbreaker will become a double-edged sword. I don't think you want to see this happen."

"So……"

When the king was silent, the young woman sitting next to him suddenly spoke. She was Stella's sister and the next king, and that was why she was participating in this meeting.

"... Then, Kurogane Ikki..."

"As the core force of the Bladebreakers, the Black Iron Family will definitely be destroyed. There is no other possibility."

Fang Zheng gave a straightforward answer.

"If he spends his honeymoon here peacefully with Stella, then there will be nothing to worry about. But if he insists on getting involved in this mess, I will not show him mercy. Because this involves the future of the entire Xingmai generation, I can't give up my plan just because of one person. As for Stella, I think you know her character better than I do. Once something like this happens and Stella is involved, then... no matter what the consequences are, it's your own choice."

“…”

After saying this, Fang Zheng crossed his hands and sat on the chair, while King Familion and the First Princess opposite him fell into silence. It should be said that the most difficult part of this matter is actually the relationship between Stella and Kurogane Ikki. If Kurogane Ikki insists on helping the Kurogane family and becoming an enemy of Fang Zheng, then Stella will definitely follow him, but in this way, Familion will be dragged into a full-scale war with the Star Vein Generation.

If things were going to turn out like this sooner or later, then for Fang Zheng, it wouldn't matter much whether he saved Famillion or not. After all, it would either be destroyed in the hands of this puppet king or in his own hands, there would be no difference.

But for the Familian royal family, this request was somewhat embarrassing.

But... time waits for no one, and a decision must be made as soon as possible.

This is not a bad thing for Fang Zheng, but it is different for Familion. One more minute means more danger.

The choices they can make are extremely limited.

"Maybe...we should discuss this with Stella?"

"This is your problem. I'm just waiting for the conclusion."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, drank a cup of black tea, and then saw the first princess walked out of the room. After that, almost half an hour later, she came back with a slightly tired look, looked at the king of Famillion, and sighed helplessly.

"It doesn't seem to be going well?"

"What Familion can do is to cut off the political support for the Bladebreaker Alliance and avoid direct conflict with the Star Vein Generation. However, if anything unexpected happens, please regard their actions as personal behavior..."

"Okay, that's decided then."

Fang Zheng nodded and stood up. He also knew that Stella would not give up Kurogane Ikki, and Familion was obviously unwilling to provoke him at this time, nor was he willing to go to war with the Star Vein Generation in the future. So if it really came to that, they hoped that Fang Zheng would regard Stella's behavior as personal arbitrariness and had nothing to do with Familion.

This is not because the royal family is heartless. After all, the war between Quedollan and Familion is the most important thing now. In comparison, Fang Zheng's request will not be fulfilled until at least next year. If Familion perishes now, then there will be no future to speak of.

"Well, I'll be back soon."

Fang Zheng poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table. He then snapped his fingers, and the next moment, a lightsaber appeared under his feet.

"It won't take too long, just wait."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zheng flew out of the window and disappeared into the sky.

"Is this...really okay, father?"

"I don't know either, but no matter what, we can only trust him now."

Having said this, the King of Familion also stood up and began to give orders.

"Order all defense forces to cover the evacuation of the people and maintain order. Next, we will wait for Kasugano-kun..."

"Oh, I'm back."

However, before King Famillion had finished giving the order, a black shadow flashed and Fang Zheng returned again, throwing a ragged white-haired kid directly to the ground.

"This guy was trying to run away, but I just happened to catch him... By the way, my tea is still hot, right?"

Looking at the stunned father and daughter in front of him, Fang Zheng said with a smile.
