Noah was very sad. He had carried the 'Buddha jumps over the wall' through the ice cave, fought the ancient corpses, and had a close relationship with him. Yet, he had sacrificed himself in the battle …
However, the good news was that Mr. Mak had promised to compensate him with 'Buddha jumps over the wall' when they returned.
There was probably nothing more blissful than being able to leave this cold snowfield and return to the big city full of pretty ladies. He could even eat a hot meal of delicious food.
Meg brought Noah and Melander back to Rodu, and settled them in the same house as before.
Naturally, he didn't have time to make 'Buddha jumps over the wall' for them. He could only reward them with two packets of instant noodles.
"Instant … noodles? This name sounds a little evil? "Noah squatted by the table and observed the food in the mysterious package carefully.
"Do you know how to cook?" Melander asked as he took a puff from a pipe for himself and glanced at him.
"Mr. Mak said that you don't need to know how to cook to eat instant noodles. You just need to boil the water and pour everything in the package into the bowl. Then, add boiling water and wait for a while." Noah agreed, and started to cook.
Five minutes later, the father and son each held a bowl, raised their heads and drank up the noodle soup. They even licked the bowl unsatisfactorily.
"I didn't know that my culinary skills were so amazing. It was indeed a waste of talent in the past." Noah put down the bowl with a look of amazement.
"If you had such skills in the past, we wouldn't have to starve in the wild." Melander reached out and gave them chestnuts.
Noah nodded with an aggrieved expression. "Grandpa, this is also a newly discovered talent of mine."
"There will be plenty of opportunities to show it later." Melander picked up the pipe again and smoked.
"But, Grandpa, what should we do next? We can't beat that Cthulhu, "Noah asked as he cleared the bowls and chopsticks.
In the past, he was full of confidence and wanted to find the devil with his grandpa. Now that he knew how scary the devil was, he had lost all his fighting spirit.
They weren't on the same level at all. Even if that devil stayed there and didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be able to kill it.
"Mr. Mak went to find an alliance between the various races. We ghosts can also do our part." Melander put down the pipe. "When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. If Cthulhu controls the Norland Continent, it will be completely over."
…
Meg made 10 copies of the photostones, and sent them to the various powers through Chaos City's channels.
After that, he and Irina headed straight for the Rodu Royal Palace.
The purple-striped griffin hovered outside the palace and let out a long cry.
The auras of over 20 powerful beings were immediately released from the imperial palace, and countless powerful beings were converging toward this location from all over Rodu.
Several layers of defensive formations rose up, heavily protecting the imperial palace and the several main halls.
In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Palace had entered a state of battle readiness.
Above the Imperial City, several auras locked onto Meg and Irina.
Alex and Irina's sudden appearance outside the imperial palace in the middle of the night came as quite a shock to all of the powerful beings in Rodu.
"Alex! Why have you come to visit so late at night?! "A vigorous voice sounded from the top of the city gate tower.
Meg looked at the armored general on the city gate tower, and loudly said, "Marshal Dominic, I have something important to discuss with King Andre. It has to do with the safety of the Norland Continent. Please pass on my message to him."
"Alright. Wait here. I'll get someone to report to His Majesty," Dominic replied, and instructed his subordinates to do so.
Over 100 9th-tier and 10th-tier powerhouses arrived one after another, and took up positions outside the palace. They were also staring at the purple-striped griffin and the two legendary figures on the griffin with restraint and vigilance.
Both parties faced off in silence just like that.
The Rodu Royal Palace was the safest place on the Norland Continent. No matter how powerful Alex was, he couldn't force his way into the palace.
Even though there were over 20 10th-tier powerhouses in the Rodu Empire present, they weren't confident that they could capture Alex and Irina outside the palace.
"His Majesty has decreed that Alex and Irina are to enter the palace!"
Not long after, a drawn-out voice sounded from the palace.
"Open the city gate," Dominic ordered.
The palace gate opened slowly, and the guards standing in front of the gate also parted to the sides.
The purple-striped griffin landed.
Meg and Irina jumped off the griffin, and walked into the palace.
Dominic led a few 10th-tier powerhouses down from the city tower, and welcomed Meg and Irina.
"Follow me," Dominic said, and led the two of them into the depths of the palace.
Six 10th-tier powerhouses followed behind them, and kept their guard up against the two of them.
Meg didn't say a word, either. Only Andre could make this decision. In order to avoid unnecessary panic, it was better for as few people as possible to know about this.
The group of people walked through the long corridor of the palace, and finally stopped outside a huge hall.
"General Dominic, Alex, and Irina, please enter the hall!" the official at the door said loudly.
Dominic led the way into the hall.
Meg and Irina exchanged a look, and followed him into the hall.
This was a meeting hall, where Andre and his subordinates discussed matters. Alex used to be a frequent visitor here.
Meg and the rest visited in the middle of the night, and the hall was brightly lit, but only Andre was sitting on the main seat.
However, the moment Meg entered the hall, he was locked on by a few powerhouses.
Meg glanced at the shadow behind Andre, and frowned, but quickly regained his composure.
Dominic sat down on Andre's left.
"Alex, Irina, please take a seat." Andre smiled and raised his hand.
Meg and Andre sat down in the last row.
"Why are the two of you here in the middle of the night?" Andre asked Meg.
"This is what we experienced in the Roth Empire's extreme north snow plains today. Your Majesty can take a look first." Meg took out an image-recording stone.
Andre raised his hand, and a servant at the side quickly took the image-recording stone from Meg, and quickly played it on the equipment in the meeting hall.
This was the video that Meg let the system record during the battle. It included the disappearing ancient corpses in the underground cavern, the battle between him and Rankster, and the scene of Cthulhu crawling out from under the ice and commanding countless ancient corpses to attack them.
"This?!"
Andre's and Dominic's expressions changed drastically when they saw this.
Dominic even stood up from his chair.
"What … What is this?!" Andre's voice was trembling. Although it was just an image-recording, the gelatinous thing covered in scales still gave him a huge impact. He even felt fear from the depths of his soul.
"This is Cthulhu, a devil from hell. It broke free from the seal under the Golden Dragon Island, and is an unkillable monster," Meg introduced calmly.
"It controlled those ancient corpses? And made them fight for it? "Dominic asked Meg.
"Yes. It used some method to control these ancient corpses, and let them retain 50-60% of their abilities when they were alive. Also, they can be fearless and carry out orders resolutely." Meg nodded.
Dominic's expression was grave. As the empire's marshal, he knew very well what such an undead army meant.
Even the empire's most elite northwestern cavalry couldn't guarantee that every soldier could be fearless and carry out orders resolutely.
"They're going south?"
Andre had already regained his composure, and asked Meg.
"I don't think it resurrected them just to hold an undead party on the ice plains," Meg said with a smile.
Andre: "…"
"It seems like your previous judgment was right. The seal under the Golden Dragon Island has something to do with Rankster. He has already sold his soul to the devil," Dominic said in a low voice with a tinge of regret.
Heroes appreciated each other. As one of the few people with the most unyielding fighting style in this world, Dominic had a good impression of Rankster.
However, from the previous images, Rankster had indeed lost himself and become the devil's puppet.
"Rankster still has a trace of consciousness. He hasn't been completely controlled," Meg retorted, but he didn't mention Elizabeth.
"If the devil wants to bring the undead army south, what are your plans?" Andre asked Meg with a deep gaze.
"If the devil and the undead army come south, the Roth Empire will be the first to bear the brunt of it. There's no way to avoid it." Meg looked at Andre. "I'm here to inform you to be prepared for battle lest you get caught off guard."
Andre stared at Meg for a while, but he didn't say anything else.
"You want the Roth Empire to resist the devil and the undead army alone?" Andre asked with a frown.
"If we can't, the Roth Empire will definitely be the first to be destroyed." Meg nodded.
Dominic was silent. From the Far North Highlands all the way south, it became flatter after entering the Roth Empire.
If the devil and his undead army wanted to go south, the only choice was to start from the Roth Empire.
The Roth Empire had no choice at all.
Andre's face darkened, and he said, "What about after the Roth Empire is destroyed? Will the other races be spared? "
Meg looked at him calmly, and said, "Actually, this is not something I should consider. Even if I'm willing to form an alliance with the other races to deal with the devil and the undead army, the final decision will still be made by you people in power."
"You should know better than anyone that this concerns the fate of the entire Norland Continent!" Andre said as he looked into Meg's eyes.
Meg asked, "If there's no peace agreement, do you think the other races will send troops to help the Roth Empire stop the devil and the undead army?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, I'm just telling you that there's no use threatening me at this time." Meg pointed at the image of Cthulhu on the screen. "If you think the Roth Empire can deal with this fellow, this world is yours."
Andre stared at Mag in silence. He kept quiet.
Meg looked at him calmly, and didn't say anything else.
Dominic broke the silence, and stood up to tell Andre, "Your Majesty, we need the help of the other races."
As the marshal of the empire and the commander of the three armies, he had to clearly inform His Majesty what kind of predicament and enemy the empire was facing.
