However, facing everyone's nervous and urging gazes, Ellis III just sighed softly.

"It's too late."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Ellis III took a few more steps toward the core protection area and said loudly, "Why don't you show up? I'm about to go in."

Now, the people around finally understood what the king was referring to. Some family members suddenly panicked and the guards suddenly drew their weapons.

However, a tall figure appeared silently behind Ellis III.

It's Warren!

"That's weird." Warren still held his daughter in his arms, his eyes full of surprise. "How did you find me?"

The sudden appearance of this figure obviously frightened all the guards, and some of them were sweating profusely in an instant.

"Get away, Your Majesty!" He even shouted and tried to get closer.

But Ellis III raised his hand and shouted, "Back off, I don't remember you being so stupid!"

"Your Majesty is right, please get out of the way." A voice came from outside the door. It was Isaiah who came in hurriedly. When she first saw the scene in front of her, her expression was completely gloomy.

Silently knelt on one knee at the door.

"It was the incompetence and dereliction of duty of my subordinates."

"No, to be honest, it's because the enemy's methods are too powerful, isn't it?" Ellis III turned around and faced Warren. The smile on his face didn't change at all, and he even asked a question in return.

Everyone present, including Ellis III, knew it very well.

When a legendary demon hunter master approached him to this distance.

The entire Kingdom of Ellis has actually been lost.

This is the fragility of an entire kingdom when its glory and future all depend on one person.

"So, how did you find me?" Warren asked again.

Victory was already in his hands, and he was not so anxious about his mission now. Instead, he was more curious about how this young king, who was famous throughout the continent, had discovered his existence, a level that even several legendary wizards combined with the large formations spread throughout the city could not discover.

"I didn't find you, I just made a natural guess." Ellis III said softly, "You are very confident, which can be seen from the fact that you entered my city without any concealment. But as a legendary demon hunter, you naturally can't be blindly confident. In addition, several legendary wizards can't find you. It's not difficult to guess that everything is under your control. I didn't lose to carelessness or the negligence of my subordinates, but just lost to an irresistible powerful force."

Even when he admitted defeat and his life was no longer under his control, there was not much loss on Ellis III's face.

This is consistent with the rumors about him.

According to rumors, even when this king was besieged by his father and his men, he remained calm and smiling. He was even called the "Smiling King" for a while.

And Warren could certainly see it.

At this moment, Ellis III was indeed in a calm mood.

"Is that emperor like this too?" Ellis III actually looked curious.

It was as if the person in front of him was not an invader from a powerful military empire, but his good friend, or as if this was a friendly visit.

And this question really stumped Warren.

After a long moment, he slowly replied, "No, I have not seen that person in person."

“Even for a legendary demon hunter like you?” Ellis III seemed to be finally moved, and he said as if he was muttering to himself, “He can even get a legendary being to serve him without even meeting him. Is this the wealth of a powerful emperor?”

"Cough cough." A light cough suddenly came from not far away.

A white-haired old man suddenly appeared there at some point in time.

"Please focus on the crisis at hand, Your Majesty." The old man had an aura that was as vast as the ocean, but he held back and just stared at the invader in front of him.

not sure.

Even without considering the other party's strange ability to appear, he was not sure he could save the king at this distance.

"Okay, Master Ulysses." Ellis III followed suit and looked at Warren with narrowed eyes. "Since your purpose is not to kill me, then no matter what you want to say or do, you can start now. Or do you need me to ask the rest of the people to leave first?"

From the very beginning, Ellis III actually understood that the other party was not necessarily out to take his life, otherwise, with the character of a demon hunter, he would have taken action long ago and would not have said any unnecessary nonsense.

The reason why it is not certain is that in this situation, if the negotiations fail, it would be easy to kill the current king and rule the country with absolute power.

"You really live up to your reputation." Warren looked at him, and there seemed to be some admiration in his deep voice. "Since you are a smart man, then things will be easy. You should also know something about what we are doing."

"Are you referring to the Dulce Holy Empire, or your 'God-killing' organization?" Ellis III did not deny that he knew something.

In fact, in the past year, even the other two distant continents have probably been paying attention to this country and this organization.

Intelligence information is also of top priority to those in power.

At this moment, the rest of the people around also vaguely felt the change in the atmosphere, but neither Warren nor Ellis III asked them to leave. At this time, they could only stand here stiffly.

Even kept swallowing saliva.

It seemed as if I was about to hear something important.

"Do you think the two are different?" Warren continued.

"From a king's perspective, I can tell you very clearly that it is of course different." Ellis III crossed his arms over his chest, and his originally gentle eyes suddenly became much sharper. "The 'God Killer' organization seems to be targeting certain forces with a purpose, but what the Darcy Holy Empire did was undoubtedly an invasion. The empire sent its own troops and subjects to other countries to exercise full control. This should be the fact in front of us."

"I see." Warren nodded slightly. "From the king's point of view, is what the empire itself doing a greater threat?"
