Kingdom of Everwinter.
"My Lord … Lord Marwayne …" Someone nudged his arm.
Marwayne opened his eyes impatiently. It took a while for his blurry vision to come back together, and the familiar face of the old butler appeared in his eyes.
"Burp … why is it you again?" He struggled to prop himself up and accidentally knocked over a few bottles of wine on the low table. One of them fell to the ground with a loud clang.
This voice also brought him back to his senses.
What followed was a hangover headache.
That's right, he had forced a few girls to drink with him last night. It was around four or five in the morning, and he had fallen asleep on the couch. Marwayne squinted his eyes and glanced at the couch beside him. It was covered with all kinds of alcohol and other liquids, and it gave off an unpleasant sour smell after being baked in the fireplace for a night. As for the girls, they had already disappeared. It was obvious that they were still lacking in the aspect of serving others.
Damn it, how did I fall asleep on this thing yesterday?
"Let's burn it." Marwayne wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and changed to a more comfortable sitting position to relieve his headache. "So, my dear butler, what bad news do you have for me today? Which Knight has run away, or has Graycastle entered the Kingdom of Everwinter? "
"You flatter me, my Lord." The butler bowed even lower. He was the one who came up with the idea to attack the Graycastle team, and he did not want his master to shift the blame to himself. "Graycastle is still fighting the demons in the Kingdom of Wolfheart. They won't be able to reach the Kingdom of Everwinter in the near future. Please rest assured."
"Heh, but isn't it only a matter of time?" Marwayne interrupted. The stench of alcohol in his mouth was a little pungent. "The demons haven't increased their forces, and even that Sky Lord is nowhere to be seen. Anyone with eyes can see that the situation has changed. What's the point of you comforting me?"
"No, my Lord."
"Listen to me!" Marwayne growled. "I know what you're trying to say. Please pull yourself together and don't give up. But you saw it for yourself that day. They had the same weapons, but Graycastle still defeated our men. What does that mean? The gap was not with the nobles, but with the subordinates and people at the bottom! They dared to face the muskets head on, but what about our men? You only know how to run like a rat! "
"How many people are left in the Kingdom of Eternal Winter? Viscount Narnos? No, his current territory was already comparable to a count's. Duke Remy? Most of his family business was in Everwinter, so he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. And this family, that family … Indeed, the great aristocratic families were still here, but did they not want to leave? No! "
At this point, his tone suddenly became high-pitched.
"They can't leave! He didn't want to burn the family property that he had accumulated for several generations and start from nothing! As long as there was a way, they wouldn't sit still and wait for death! However, those knights that I invited here would not have such concerns. A title deed is not binding at all. These people could leave with the title deed and come back after the war subsides. Therefore, I could only refuse to meet them and invite them to stay by holding a banquet! "
"This isn't giving up, and it's not escaping. Do you understand?" Marwayne picked up a bottle of wine and gulped down a mouthful. "Once I fulfill my promise, they will immediately leave! Since my subordinates and people can't compare to Graycastle, the only thing I can rely on is the demons. As long as they can defeat Roland Wimbledon, these people will settle down again. When the time comes, I can reissue the title deed, and these Knight will become my greatest help! "
"My Lord … I know, but I have to inform you. God …"
"Shut up, you don't know!" Marwayne's voice had a slight tremble. "You think I'm weak, useless, and only knows how to drink all day, but that's not the case. My strategy isn't wrong, it's the demons who lost! Even they can't defeat the people of Graycastle, what's the point of me pulling myself together? It's fine if the others leave, but even Fueler, whom I thought highly of, left. What's the point of me becoming the King of Everwinter? I might as well drink more wine … After all, I won't be able to drink it in the future. "
"So from today onwards, you don't have to tell me any bad news. Just keep it to yourself. Prepare some good wine for me tonight. I remember there's still a lot of it in the underground storehouse, right? Now … get out. "
With that, Marwayne covered his face with his hands and lay back down on the couch.
"My Lord, what I wanted to say is that the Sky Lord is currently waiting in the castle's parlor. He says he has a new decree for you." The butler finally found an opportunity to speak and hurriedly said it in one breath.
"What … What did you say?" Marwayne sat up abruptly. "The Sky Lord is here? Why didn't you inform me earlier? Prepare a basin of hot water for me, I'll go over after I wash my face! "
"There's no need." Suddenly, a deep voice came from the door. The two of them were stunned and turned to look, only to see a tall, blue-skinned figure pushing open the door and striding in.
It was Hackzord.
He scanned the messy furnishings and empty wine bottles in the room and revealed an undisguised look of contempt. "I thought you were tied up by something important, but it seems like I've wronged you. Why, do you think the outcome of this war has been decided? "
Damn it, he heard me complaining! Marwayne hurriedly knelt down on one knee and even wanted to slap himself. "No, my Lord, I'm just …"
"Considering your level of knowledge, I can forgive you this time. But don't do it again, or else I'll pull out your tongue." Hackzord said coldly, "The enemy's performance in the early stages has indeed exceeded our expectations, but that's only in the early stages. In fact, their good days have already come to an end. Not only the Kingdom of Wolfheart, but the Kingdom of Dawn and Graycastle will soon be engulfed in the flames of war. This is the fate of those who resist. "
"Your Excellency, may I ask … is this true?" Marwayne asked doubtfully. He had originally thought that the Everwinter Continent was doomed, and he wanted to seek shelter from the Grand Lord. However, from what the other party had said, the situation wasn't too bad. At the very least, it wasn't to the point of no return. Since they also thought that Graycastle was weak, the credibility of Hackzord's words was questionable.
Hackzord sneered. "It's understandable that you have doubts, but after you witness the 'power' of my race, I believe you'll understand the weight of my words." With that, he raised his hand and opened a "door" that emitted a strange purple light. "Follow me."
Marwayne swallowed his saliva and braced himself to enter the door.
On the other side of the door was another hall. He was surprised to see many familiar faces, such as Narnos and Remy.
Clearly, the Sky Lord had gathered most of the nobles in the Kingdom of Everwinter.
Before he could ask about the situation, the senior demon lord opened a new teleportation door.
Hackzord's intentions were self-evident.
The nobles looked at each other and finally lined up to enter the door.
This trip took nearly a day.
Marwayne couldn't remember how many teleportation doors he had passed through. The scenery around him was sometimes a cave, sometimes a mountain ridge. The deeper he went, the more uneasy he felt. Even though he knew that the demons didn't need to spend so much effort to kill him, such an unknown and forceful teleportation always made him fearful.
When night fell, the nobles finally arrived at their destination.
When the last door slowly disappeared behind them, Marwayne Parker's eyes suddenly widened!
"This is …"
He saw a miracle!
That's right, even if he exhausted all the words he had, he couldn't accurately describe what he had seen. Other than a miracle, he couldn't think of any other way to describe it!
The other nobles weren't any better. All of them were tongue-tied and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Now, you've seen it," Hackzord said expressionlessly.
