"I fainted?"
The Demon King held his forehead. The scene just now made him feel like a long time had passed.
"It shouldn't be. When I came here, I found you …"
"Go on."
"You were staring blankly at the wall."
Gianna said awkwardly.
"Wall?"
The Demon King was stunned.
"There's no one in front …"
When he looked forward, he found that there was indeed a wall in front of him. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"Did you see that faceless monster?"
The Demon King asked as he put his hand on the wall in front of him and knocked on it. This was indeed a solid wall, and it wasn't made of magic. The back was also full of rocks.
Jaina frowned and said, "A monster without facial features? Are you hallucinating? I guess these murals might have been cast with illusion magic. "
The Demon King shook his head and denied this. When he came in and saw that monster, he was already on guard. Any illusion would have a flaw, but the ones just now had no flaw at all.
He looked at the wall and found that the picture on the wall was carved by the monster just now. He and Gianna also appeared in the mural, standing in the center with the frozen Reina.
"When I saw it, I also couldn't believe it. Could it really be us? Then who recorded it? "Gianna also looked at the picture in surprise.
"I'm not sure. Let's go. I've already found a clue. It's time to leave this damned place."
The Demon King said.
Eva was still immersed in self-blame. So many things had happened in the past few days that she found it hard to accept. Everything she knew had changed. Her gentle mother had turned into a cruel queen. She found her missing father, only to find that it was her own mother who made him disappear.
"If you're not feeling well, go rest first, my daughter," Andrew said to the tired Eva.
At this time, they were in the palace's meeting hall. The soldiers left behind to guard the palace, the Demon King, Richard, and Gianna were all present.
Eva shook her head silently, dragging her tired eyes to look at Reina who was sealed in ice.
Because of the many things that had happened, they were now intensely discussing the Sea Tribe. The most important thing was how to resist the Queen's army.
"Quiet!"
Andrew's command made everyone shut their mouths. He looked at everyone, then cleared his throat and said, "First, let's report our current situation."
He looked at a skinny murloc in the meeting room. The murloc immediately stood up and said conscientiously, "Sir, I'm afraid that you'll be able to do your job.
"Woman … Sok Loran took away seventy thousand soldiers and all of the Wolffish. Right now, including the soldiers guarding the palace, there are less than twenty thousand people left. We don't have enough weapons and equipment."
"What about food?"
"There are less than three thousand dan of sea food left. Including the commoners, there are a total of two hundred thousand people in the Imperial Capital. After the naval battle a few days ago, production has completely stopped."
The other party lowered his head.
Andrew's face darkened.
"How many hungry people are there now?"
"A conservative estimate is 150,000 people."
"Qi! Wouldn't that mean that other than the army and the imperial family, everyone would be starving?! "
Andrew cursed loudly.
No one dared to say anything. Even if it was the Queen's order, they were the ones carrying it out.
"If we distribute the food to the commoners, how many days can it last?"
"I'm afraid only three days. If we eat one meal a day, it can last ten days."
Suddenly, a huge rock pressed down on Andrew's heart.
"I, Andrew, have never fought a battle that I'm not confident in. But this time, I'll be frank. We don't have the ability to resist the Queen's army."
Hearing this, the surrounding people instantly exploded.
"Of course, you can kill me immediately. The Queen will definitely forgive you, but I know her character very well. She will definitely clean up the surrounding tribes before returning. Your role is to protect the imperial family and abandon the commoners in the Imperial Capital."
After Andrew finished speaking, the soldiers lowered their heads again. Almost all of the people sitting here were commoners. This was equivalent to abandoning their families.
Despair, regret, and uneasiness surrounded Andrew's heart. Originally, he only wanted to take revenge on Sokloran. Only when he stood in this position did he realize that his anger was insignificant compared to the survival of his tribe.
"Everyone, if you don't mind, can you listen to the suggestion of an outsider like me?"
At this moment, Gianna stood up.
The Seafolk hated these two people. They had acted recklessly in front of them, ignored the Seafolk army, and trampled on their dignity as Seafolk soldiers.
"If they can help us, no matter who it is, I have no objections."
Andrew said.
The others looked at each other and nodded in the end.
Gianna thanked them and took a deep breath.
"I am the fourth princess of the Ophiuchi Empire. Everyone has learned about the past of the Deep Seafolk from the murals in the History Palace. Based on my analysis of the Empire's history, the people of the Ophiuchi Empire are the people who escaped hundreds of years ago."
Hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. Some revealed angry expressions, while others revealed puzzled expressions.
"Silence!"
Andrew shouted again. Then, he looked at Gianna and said, "I don't think you're saying this just to acknowledge your family."
Gianna nodded and said, "Actually, I have an idea. If everything goes well, the Seafolk will be able to survive this crisis without a large number of deaths from famine."
Hearing this, Andrew's eyes were filled with hope. He hurriedly said, "Why don't you say it?"
"It's very simple. That is, join hands with me and help me seize imperial power."
"What!"
"No! Humans are too dangerous! "
"That's right! You're all selfish people! "
The conference hall immediately exploded. However, Gianna looked determined. Although the Demon King was not interested in their matters, he admired Gianna's courage.
"Are we not selfish too?!"
Andrew suddenly shouted. Everyone in the meeting hall was stunned. They looked at Andrew in astonishment.
"Look at what the Royalty has done. Look at what we've done to survive. In the end, we're all the same."
His words made everyone fall into silence.
"I've said that I won't fight a battle that I'm not confident in. I hope you can convince me."
Andrew said to Gianna.
Gianna smiled and revealed an ambitious smile. "In the Empire, I have many supporters, but we don't have enough resources to fight against the Empire. You just happen to have enough resources."
"What resources?"
"Money."
Hearing this, everyone understood that she was looking for the mountains of treasures in the palace. Of course, this caused strong opposition.
"Silence! What do you think is in it for us? "
"Our Empire just happens to have what you need. That is the sea, food, and production techniques. These are what the Deep Seafolk Race needs the most. With us as your backing, you can definitely fight against the other tribes and even the Queen's army …"
