Chapter 342: Rand and the White King's Combination Skills, and the Plan to Divide the Principality of Green Shadow (5000)
It was morning again, and Rand and the White King woke up at about the same time.
The White King gently broke free of Rand's hand around his waist and cursed in a low voice: "Rogue."
Rand didn't respond.
He just asked, "Did you rest well?"
"Um."
"Then let's get rid of the Ice Phoenix as soon as possible." Rand twisted the White King's soft white hair, "I want to put on my clothes."
The White King felt like laughing again.
Then it's time to act.
"Any tactics?" asked the White King.
"It's just a simple tactic." Rand smiled. "You go out first to attract its hatred, and then I will prepare negative effects for it."
"Then it depends on the situation." Rand continued, "If we can win, we'll kill it. If you're injured, I can heal you. If we can't win, we'll run away."
The White King crossed his arms and raised his chest into an arc.
She thought it was a sound strategy.
Then the White King began to take off his clothes.
Seeing Rand's puzzled look, the White King pointed to the cloth hanging to dry and said, "Help me."
Rand helped the White King wrap his chest, and his fingers touched some extremely soft parts.
Once the White King put his clothes back on and disguised himself a little, he could barely be called a "male".
The White King appeared in an open area in the canyon.
An ice spear condensed in her palm.
Standing in a hidden place ready to share his thirst at any time, Rand felt the temperature in the air drop sharply.
The snow beneath the White King's feet began to melt.
The falling snow around the White King was also disappearing.
Ice and snow gathered in the White King's hands, transforming into an inky black ice spear with spiral patterns.
Then there was a sharp whistle.
The White King charges up his strength and then throws his javelin.
The sharp whistling sound that pierced the air hurt Rand's eardrums.
The huge reaction force also caused some cracks to appear on the ground beneath the White King's feet.
"laugh--"
In an instant, the ice spear with a flashing cold light pierced into the body of the Ice Phoenix.
Then there was a shrill, painful scream.
The neighing sound echoed throughout the valley, and the snow covering the valley was shaken by the sound.
The Ice Phoenix Aslan Travis fell a little from the sky, then flew up again.
Such injuries are not fatal to it.
"Rand," the White King called.
Next, it depends on whether Rand's ability can take effect. If he is fully prepared, the White King in artifact state can defeat the Ice Phoenix.
Without preparation, a White King with enough rest would probably be slightly stronger than the Ice Phoenix.
Now it depends on Rand's ability and how much effect he can bring.
Facing the swooping Ice Phoenix, Rand waited until it was about to come face to face with the White King, then activated Desire Sharing.
The Ice Phoenix, which originally had a ferocious look in its eyes, suddenly let out a sharp hiss.
He suddenly lost control of himself and his flight trajectory and plunged into the valley.
The huge body smashed to the ground, and the strong wind bent many trees.
After hitting the ground, the stream in the valley splashed water and the ground was filled with smoke and dust.
The White King couldn't help laughing again.
He cursed: "Beast."
She had personally experienced such side effects, and as a rational "king", she found it difficult to control herself.
Not to mention this kind of mixed-up beast.
Although the White King was smiling, his hands were not slow.
The White King drew the sword from his waist.
[Haiyuan] points at the head of the Ice Phoenix.
Countless ice spikes burst out from the body of the Ice Phoenix.
At such a close distance, the White King could easily freeze the Ice Phoenix's body fluids.
Moreover, the White King also injected a large amount of water into the body of the Ice Phoenix through the [Sea Abyss].
A large amount of water condensed into ice thorns, growing out of the body of the Ice Phoenix.
The Ice Phoenix instantly turned into a white hedgehog.
"Solved?" Rand said to himself. It was simpler than he had imagined.
But this is the case for most battles in this world.
There isn't so much back and forth. When you find an opportunity and seize a flaw, you just need to go all out.
Rand thought that the White King's execution skill should have a cool name, but the White King didn't seem to have the habit of shouting out the names of skills during a fight.
However, although Rand felt that this solved the problem.
But he still hid in a hidden place and did not come out.
This was agreed upon at the beginning. He had to hide until the White King came to find him.
Rand had watched a lot of TV dramas in his previous life, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to suddenly come out of hiding before the dust settled.
After turning into an ice hedgehog, the Ice Phoenix's flesh began to dissolve and turned into a white egg.
It seems to have really been solved.
The White King came to Rand's hiding place and said, "Now here's the problem. This egg can't be handled."
"Can't it be broken?" Rand asked.
Countless weapons made of ice appeared around the white egg, but no matter the cutting of swords, the smashing of frost hammers, or the stabbing of frost spears, they could not cause any damage to the white egg.
Got it, it’s an invincible unit.
"How long will it take for it to revive?" Rand asked.
"Not sure." The White King shook his head. "The last resurrection was very sudden."
Rand scrunched his chin.
This time he brought the altar of the Mother Goddess to the White Kingdom, and he wondered whether the Mother Goddess would accept the egg.
"Perhaps I could give it a try," Rand said. "For example, I could offer it to the Great Mother Goddess."
The White King nodded his chin: "I have no objection."
"Then let's go back first." Rand picked up the giant egg, then looked up and decided that it was time to go back.
The Ice Phoenix had been hovering in the sky for so long that the strong wind it had stirred up must have blown the clothes away to who knows where.
"Let's go, then." The White King looked back at the cave where she and Rand had been.
Then, stairs made of frost grew on the cliff.
Rand and the White King climbed the Frost Stairs.
When Rand reached the cliff where he had jumped off, his clothes had indeed been blown away.
The White King and Rand had no choice but to go to a nearby city.
Then they met Rand's personal guards and the higher-ups of the hideout on the road.
Instead of going to a nearby city, they found a secluded place nearby and hid there.
Then they saw Rand, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, and the White King, whose clothes were not very tidy.
Rand's guards naturally had no doubts, they just guessed that the battle might have been fierce and the clothes of the Lord Messenger of God might have been damaged.
The top leaders of the den also thought so.
But Ellie is an exception.
Ellie knew that the White King was her sister, not her "brother".
Ellie looked at Rand suspiciously, then at the White King.
Both of them have good expression management and there is no problem on sight.
But the White King Bolan's clothes obviously showed signs of being put on and taken off repeatedly. Rand's pants were not damaged, but all his clothes were gone.
Rand and the White King were stared at by Ellie, but their expressions remained unchanged.
It seems like everything is really normal.
Ellie blinked, stared for a moment, and then stopped looking.
Olenna took a coat from the packhorse and put it on Rand.
Ellie then spoke up: "So what is our plan now? Are we still going to plunder the Principality of Green Shadow?"
Rand looked back at the White King.
The White King took a look at Rand's guards. Plundering was a common hobby of all the nobles, even the White King himself was no exception.
But the White King shook his head and said, "The looting is a bit troublesome."
"I know other countries want to get involved," Rand said, acting like a looting expert. "But we were the ones who repelled the orcs. If we don't send out a battle report, other countries won't know about the orcs' situation. At least in the short term, the news won't leak."
"Let's go out and plunder first, and we'll naturally get the biggest share," Rand said confidently.
"The royal family of the Principality of Green Shadow has escaped." The White King told Rand a piece of news that shocked him.
"Ah?" Rand looked at the White King in shock.
No, this will keep them alive? At least those idiots have to be sacrificed, right?
"They didn't flee to the White Kingdom." The White King knew what Rand meant. "The royal family of the Principality of Emerald Shadow and some of the nobles fled to the Wisteria Kingdom."
Rand's face fell.
The Wisteria Kingdom was a country that worked together with the Cuiying Principality but did not contribute.
He has already been on his list of enemies.
Although he was just a small earl, he had already remembered this grudge.
Now the hatred is even greater.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If it weren't for these two countries, the orcs might have been blocked outside the defense line, and countless of them might have frozen to death in one winter.
Instead of being like this now, Rand's own guards also suffered heavy losses in order to stop the orc army in the Gaomu Kingdom.
These will turn into financial pressure and public pressure on the powerful forces.
That's why Rand wanted to go to the Principality of Green Shadow to plunder and recover his losses.
The White King could fully understand Rand's feelings, because she was equally angry about the actions of the Green Shadow Principality and the Wisteria Kingdom.
The White Country also suffered heavy losses.
"Don't worry, you will definitely have a share of the wealth of the Cuiying Principality." said the White King.
"Are we going to break the covenant?" Rand asked.
At that time, the North united all the countries, signed an alliance, and drove the orcs to the north.
This is a covenant shared by all the northern united nations, sworn in the blood of the king.
Although breaking the law would not really have any curse effect in theory, it was definitely a bad start.
The relationship between the countries in the Northern Alliance is not particularly good, but there has been no large-scale war so far. The alliance sworn at the beginning has played a big role.
Maybe he originally wanted to act impulsively, but when he thought of the covenant made by his ancestors, he was willing to sit down and talk.
The effects of the covenant last until it is broken for the first time.
As long as the royal bloodline of the Principality of Cuiying is still there, it still has sovereignty legally, and other northern united countries cannot invade it at will.
Otherwise, in the future, the covenant will become meaningless under any pretext.
If the northern united countries and the southern kingdoms also fought each other like they did, the orcs might have some breathing space.
"No, we must use the covenant," said the White King.
The White Queen had already made up her mind, and she remembered every word of the covenant clearly.
"In addition to not attacking each other, the covenant we signed at the beginning also required us to jointly fight against the orcs." The White King said, "Although the Principality of Green Shadow did send troops to the defense line at the beginning."
"But everyone knows that's just a way of getting by."
"We will hold a meeting to determine the nature of this incident, and then kick the Wisteria Kingdom and the Emerald Shadow Principality out of the alliance." said the White King.
This would also affect the sanctity of the covenant.
Any treatment of a member state of the Covenant, even if it does not change the Covenant, will have an impact.
However, if all countries are called upon to "divide" the land reasonably and legally, the impact will be smaller.
And it must be done.
The Northern Allied Countries all suffered heavy losses from this orc invasion.
These losses must be compensated!
Otherwise, if only the Northern United Nations paid the price, countries like the Wisteria Kingdom would really suffer the least by being selfish and stingy.
How will the countries that earnestly fulfill the covenant and pay the price deal with it? This is what will have a greater impact on the covenant.
"How do we deal with the Wisteria Kingdom?" Rand asked.
"All countries have suffered heavy losses," said the White King. "We all need to recuperate for a while, so we can only kick them out of the alliance first."
"It may take a few years or more than ten years, but there will always be such a day." The White King said, and the White King looked at Rand, "I will personally invite you to be one of the generals of the coalition forces to break through the gate of the Wisteria Kingdom."
As for the Principality of Cuiying, it will definitely be divided this time.
With so much loss, all the northern united countries are eyeing it covetously.
After making this decision.
Rand and the White King went to the White Kingdom's royal city together.
…
Then Rand found that he seemed to have a good reputation in the White Kingdom.
Rand received countless cheers, applause, and flowers.
It is winter now, and only a few special flowers are still in bloom in the White Kingdom.
But the people of the White Kingdom still went to find them, picked them, and scattered them around Rand.
When I first came here.
Rand was unpopular.
Everyone thought Rand was just a foreign nobleman who lacked courage.
He also swindled away the pearl of the White Kingdom, Prince Ellie.
They didn't throw rotten eggs at Rand at the beginning, purely because the people of the White Kingdom respected the White King and didn't want to damage his reputation.
Until Rand proved his prowess.
The people of the White Kingdom finally recognized Rand as their prince-husband.
Then, there was the self-defense counterattack against the orcs.
The people of the White Country generously spread the legendary experience of the prince's husband.
Now, if it weren't for the White King's face, many young nobles would want to join Rand's guards and fight and learn with him.
What kind of legendary military strategy could allow such a small number of knights to defeat the ocean-like number of infernal orcs?
What kind of miraculous force could allow him to fight an orc general who was said to be close to the "king" level to a draw? Rand rode his horse on the road of the White Kingdom.
The snow on the roads had been cleared by the enthusiastic citizens of the White Country.
The blue-gray brick floor is revealed.
Both sides of the road were crowded with citizens of the White Country. They craned their necks to get a clear view of the legendary general who had led the Knights of the White Country to victory on the northern front.
They all knew that without Rand.
The White Country doesn’t know how many families will be torn apart and how many people will become displaced.
So they now welcome Rand's return with the greatest enthusiasm.
Rand was accustomed to such grand scenes. After all, he was always welcomed every time he returned to the holiday resort.
Rand returned to the White Kingdom's mansion, and all the higher-ups in the hideout, except Ellie, changed into maid outfits.
Rand asked the top leaders of the hideout to prepare the altar. He was going to make a sacrifice! At the same time, the White King was meeting with the ministers of the White Kingdom to arrange the next step of kicking the Emerald Shadow Principality and the Wisteria Kingdom out of the alliance.
The administration of the White Kingdom has always been very efficient as long as it does not involve the marriage issues of the White King himself, and the ministers of the White Kingdom have always trusted the wisdom of their king.
The ministers of the White Kingdom only need to supplement the White King's ideas.
Soon, a specific plan was discussed and then passed out of the palace for implementation.
After the matter was settled, the White King frowned when he saw that the ministers of the White Kingdom had not left yet.
She basically guessed what would happen. At this time, the ministers of the White Country would basically urge her to get married as a routine.
But when the ministers spoke, the White King found that this was not the case.
The White Country's Minister of Military Affairs stepped forward.
He seemed a little hesitant, not sure whether he should speak.
The Minister of Military Affairs of the White Country was a giant strong man over two meters tall. The way he was twisting and frowning there was really something that the White King could not bear to see.
"Just tell me what you want to say. Don't be so shy." The White King said in a low voice.
At this time, the Minister of Military Affairs spoke up: "I wonder, Prince Ellie, are you living comfortably in the Frost Moon Kingdom?"
The White King was confused and had no idea what the Minister of Military Affairs, whose temperament had inexplicably changed, wanted to say.
I had to say coldly again: "Speak to the point."
"That's right... After all, Prince Ellie will spend most of her time in the Frost Moon Kingdom. If she doesn't have a few close friends around her, she might not be able to live comfortably." The Minister of Military Affairs said, "We think we can let some women from the White Kingdom stay with Prince Ellie, so that Prince Ellie won't be too uncomfortable in the Frost Moon Kingdom."
The White King knew what they meant.
They want to give Landesa a lover! These people initially doubted her and Ellie's judgment of people, but now they actually want to think about this.
There were some precedents of inserting noble women from one's own family to the side of a princess who was marrying off as the lover of the marriage partner.
This will allow some lower-level nobles to get a taste of the noble bloodline.
Although the child will still be an illegitimate one, if he is favored, his future will be immeasurable.
Even if they are not favored, as long as the fathers of these illegitimate children are famous enough, at least the illegitimate children will not be bullied outside.
If I can learn some skills from my father, I will have a bright future.
The White King sneered and said, "Impossible!"
The equally burly Minister of Finance, who was standing behind the Minister of War, also wanted to speak.
The White King just shouted coldly: "This matter ends here. I have made up my mind. There is no need to mention it again."
