While Katarina was thinking, Laing was also looking at the female Tsar.
After hearing Berliat's suggestion, Laing's first reaction was to give up. He had no interest in doing anything with Katarina. First of all, Suria would arrive in a few days. She was his official wife. Second, he didn't lack women around him. Laing's attention was focused on the upcoming battle.
Besides, what does Berliat want me to do?
Is it really Clambusburg?
Of course, Laing had to admit that Berliat's words made sense. As the bloodline of the female Tsar and the Miska Queen, Katarina had a strong innate appeal to Mrs. Kiesler. At the same time, the bloodline of the Miska Queen made her much stronger than Aurora, who was of the same level.
Although Laing had many Sanctuary powerhouses under his command, in the current situation, Sanctuary powerhouses were absolutely scarce. He would try to rope them in as much as possible.
This was the awkward part. Laing and Katarina had met before.
That was decades ago. At that time, Laing was still a little knight who hung around Kislöw all day. When the Garland Council still existed, the two sides met. Katarina found it strange that this poor boy could win her heart, and Laing didn't have a good impression of the arrogant and cold Crown Prince of Kislöw.
If they started licking each other's boots, Laing wouldn't do such a degrading thing. Even if he did, it would be very awkward for both sides. They didn't have a good impression of each other to begin with.
But what if it was just a simple business negotiation?
Laing wanted to do that, but according to Berliat, the female Tsar didn't just want to negotiate business. She wanted to have an heir with him.
That was awkward.
Therefore, Ryan could only do this, step by step, unraveling layer by layer and progressing step by step.
While Laing was still thinking, Katarina closed her eyes and said directly, "I choose number three."
"Oh?!" Laing was surprised.
"I can't let Kislöw continue like this. I can't let the veterans live by selling medals. I'm the daughter of the Red Tsar, the last descendant of the Miska Queen. I'll bear all the consequences of my mistakes." Katarina's icy blue eyes were filled with determination. "As the female Tsar, it's my duty to restore the glory of Kislöw!"
Laing stared at her for a few seconds, as if trying to figure out if this was the female Tsar or someone else.
"Hahahahaha!" After a long time, Laing laughed loudly. Helios couldn't stop laughing. He slapped his thigh and couldn't help but nod. "I didn't expect this."
"Didn't expect what?" Katarina's face darkened. The female Tsar's attitude was bad. "Are you going to humiliate me like Berliat? I said, to restore Kislöw, I'm willing to give up everything, including myself! "
"No … I didn't mean to humiliate you, daughter of the Red Tsar." Leon laughed and nodded, finally showing respect in his eyes. The Sun King leaned back in his chair and said, "Previously, Belial told me that you have the intention to turn over a new leaf. You have sincerely repented and realized your mistakes after living in Marlin Castle for several years. I didn't believe him at first, but I do now."
"You believe that I have the ability to restore Kislöw?" Katarina's expression softened a little, but she was still unhappy. The female Tsar stood up and held the wooden box. "Since I've made my choice, I'll leave now."
"Wait." Laing stood up.
Under Katarina's surprised gaze, Laing handed the first and second conditions' land deeds, shop documents, magic scrolls, and ice magic books to Katarina. Laing's handsome face smiled. "These are for you too."
"All for me?!" Katarina's mouth fell open.
"All for you." Laing showed a sincere expression. "As a Holy Grail Knight, I won't lie to you. You're on our side, aren't you?"
"Thank you so much." Katarina did not refuse. She accepted the gift on the spot. The female Tsar really needed these things.
"Then, we've reached an agreement. Let's work together for the battle in front of us, for Kislöw, for the old world, and for the mortal Empire!" Laing reached out his hand. "Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" Katarina hurriedly put the things away. Then, she quickly reached out her slender fingers wrapped in black lace gloves and shook hands with Laing. The moment their fingertips touched, the female Tsar felt as if there was an electric current flowing into her body through their handshake.
Laing let go of the touch. The gray knight gene prototype poured two glasses of red wine. "Let's drink up. The Winter Veil Festival is here. Here, I wish our female Tsar a happy Winter Veil Festival and a happy family!"
"Pfft ~" Katarin was amused. The Tsar giggled and covered half of her face with her hand. She took the wine glass and wondered where Ryan's accent came from. "Alright, I'll also wish our Sun King a happy and happy Winter Festival!" she said. "Happy Winter!"
After drinking a glass of red wine, Laing said that he still had things to do. He asked Katarina to find Aurora and Teresa to continue discussing the plan. At the same time, he asked Berliat to provide Katarina with the same food and living conditions as the other Dukes. Then, he went back to work.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Actually, if you insist, she will stay tonight." Veronica walked out from the shadows of the room. The female president smiled and sat on Laing's lap. "It's over. The innocent little warrior is gone. Now, it's the emotional master, Laing. Set after set, layer after layer. Even the female Tsar has fallen into your trap!"
"Everyone knows how to draw a big picture." Laing hugged Veronica and kissed her on the face. He smiled and said, "The key is to show sincerity."
"Sincerity? With just a few land deeds and a magic book, you managed to tie a Saint realm expert with a unique bloodline and political symbol onto our war chariot. "Veronica's voice was tinged with jealousy." And who knows … "
"Maybe what?" Laing looked like he was smiling. The black-hearted boss suddenly laughed and said, "But, it's not easy for her to repent."
"People often start to think after a setback." Veronica nodded.
On the other side, the female Tsar of Kislöw was sitting in the carriage on the way back. She could feel her heart pounding non-stop.
She was very excited, very excited!
She didn't know how many years it had been since she was in such a state. The female Tsar's boots couldn't help but tremble. She pinched her leg hard and confirmed it again.
That's right! It's true! Not only did Laing agree to help her restore her kingdom, but he also gave her all the items in the first and second conditions!
Katarina's breathing quickened. She felt a rush of blood from her chest to the top of her head. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was bursting with joy.
This Taiyang is too reliable and generous! He's strong, generous, knows how to talk, and he's handsome! Originally, she heard from the High Elf ambassador that Laing was a gorilla who only had physical strength, a monkey who was especially good at fighting. But now that she had met him, she realized that he was a generous, handsome, and heroic man who saved people from danger. He was a great hero!
Damn it! Why did Veronica and Teresa have such good eyesight and choose such an excellent man so early?
Damn it! Why didn't there be such a man in Kislöw!
Damn it! Why didn't they send someone to cooperate with Laing earlier? Why did they have to wait until now?!
A radiant figure rose in the female Tsar's heart.
… I'm the rising section dividing line …
Katarina's appearance surprised everyone in the castle, but after Veronica and Laing explained, everyone expressed their understanding. After all, Katarina's name was on the Garland Council.
Then, with the arrival of Suria, the Knight King, a military meeting was held in Kislöw Castle.
In the dilapidated and decayed hall of the castle, a large round table was placed on the table with a map of the Kislöw Tombs on it. Laing and Suria stood together. On their left were the Green Knight, Berchemund, François, Kalad, Bertrand, Davu, Rokossovsky, Raymond, and others.
On his right were Morgiana, Veronica, Aurora, Katarina, and others.
Laing stood on the other side of the table. The Wood Elf hero signaled to Laing that he could hear him.
Seven Grey Knight recruits stood behind Laing, led by McMahon. Petain, Foch, and Xiafei were recovering in Nur after being seriously injured.
Angran had also arrived, but the Slayer King didn't want to squeeze with everyone. He moved a small stool and sat not far away. His huge body was like a small mountain of meat, which looked quite funny. But other than Laing and Suria, no one dared to laugh at a demigod master.
"The Seed of Destruction, the first demon prince under the Blood God, will be the most powerful enemy we've ever faced." Laing stood in front of everyone. The Sun King was wearing a luxurious robe. He held Suria's hand and said to everyone, "In any case, thank you for coming to help. I have a feeling that the Seed of Destruction has already set off from Khorne's Brass Fortress. It won't be long before it comes to the mortal world."
"Yes, everyone." Suria also spoke. Behind the Knight King, she was elegant and calm. Her face exuded an intoxicating holy light. "Everyone, the Seed of Destruction is coming for Laing and Angran. If any of you want to back out now, it's not too late. I will give you a sum of money and let someone take you away."
"This proves the glory of the Brittany," the Green Knight said in a ghostly voice.
Berchemund sneered. The old duke shook his head.
"There's nothing to say, Suria. Even if I die in battle, I will fight until the last moment." François didn't think much of it.
"Because I am Kalad de Garamente." Kalad made a face on the floor.
Bertrand, Davu, Raymond, and the others didn't say a word. They were used to silence. They were the Old Guard of Glory. They would follow their Sun King forever. Even if he killed his way into the Chaos Demonic Realm, they would follow him closely.
Aurora's expression turned ugly. She knew that she had already boarded a pirate ship. Should she jump ship now? How could she survive in the Old World?
Teresa held her mother's hand tightly. She looked at Laing, waiting for his plan.
Veronica was also looking at Clayon. The female council leader was not nervous at all. Her expression was carefree and at ease. She had even brought a bed over. She had already made up her mind to fight until the very end.
Katarin, on the other hand, believed that they had to win this battle. If they died, then everything would be for naught.
Morgiana's eyes were filled with Laing's shadow.
"Yes, Laing … Your Majesty." Aralos's words broke the silence. The wood elf frowned. He didn't look very confident. "I don't know how strong the enemy is, but seeing that you have gathered so many saints and three demigods, you lack confidence. Obviously, the enemy is very, very strong. Then we must have a plan. Also, why are you so sure that the Seed of Destruction will find us here?"
"He's too bright in the subspace." Katarina continued. Tsar explained to Aralos, "You're not a wizard. You can't feel it. Laing is a large shining array in the wind of magic. It's impossible not to see it."
"Okay, then what's our plan?" Aralos shrugged. The wood elf continued to ask.
"We must change from passive to active." Laing pointed at the map. "First, Morgiana will raise the Mist of the Goddess to cover the entire Khuilwu Graveyard Belt. This way, the vanguard of the Khuilwu Skull Hunters will not be able to teleport directly into Khuilwu Castle. They will appear nearby. As long as they are scattered, we will have a chance to take them down one by one."
"Green Knight, Berchemund, Kalad, Davu, Constantine, you will lead the Grail Knights and the dragon riders to fight against the Khuilwu Brass Steel Bull Cavalry. Then, you will eliminate the vanguard of the Khuilwu Skull Hunters one by one."
"Yes!" Green Knight and the others stood up.
"After the vanguard of Chaos is stopped, the Khuilwu Skull Hunters will definitely try to open the portal of chaos to summon more Khuilwu Demons and their army. At this time, Bertrand, Aralos, this mission is for you. You will be responsible for destroying the portal of chaos with bombs, grenades, and magic items. Try to reduce the number of the Army of Chaos."
"François, Suria, you and your daughter will be responsible for guarding the castle." Laing then told François and Suria, "The Old Guard, the Unicorn Guards, and the Coldstream Guards will be under your command. You must defend the castle before the Seed of Destruction appears."
"Understood." Suria and François also stood up.
"Veronica will provide us with magic support. If you encounter a large group of enemies or giant beasts, all you need to do is mark the enemy with a magic mark. Veronica's Meteors, Meteors, and Flame Blast will fall from the sky. Of course, there's also Light of Exile and other light spells." As soon as Laing finished, Veronica took out a piece of jewelry and said, "Use this to mark the enemies. My Meteors will be here soon. Be careful not to get hurt."
"Lady Aurora and Lady Theresa have already prepared large-scale magic. If necessary, they will support us from another position through the Realm of Extreme Cold, Great Dissociation, and Ice Dragon's Breath. At the same time, this is an ice amulet." Aurora and Teresa took out a large number of amulets and said, "This is an Ice Barrier Amulet. It can protect you once in the most dangerous time, but remember, it can only be used once."
"Her Majesty Katarina will raise an ice wall to protect the castle from the skull cannons of the Khuilwu Skull Hunters." Clayon continued, "There's also the Icebreaking Storm, Falling Frost Ice Break, Miska Eagle, and the Ice Golem."
Katarin took a step forward. Even though she was no longer the Tsar, she was still a very powerful Ice Witch. She also had the bloodline of Queen Miska.
"Very good. You've arranged everyone. What are you going to do? Are you two demigods just going to watch us fight? " Aralos continued to ask. The wood elf hero extended a hand and asked, "What do you think you are going to do?"
"It's simple. Anglo and I will take care of the Seed of Destruction. If we still can't stop the Khuilwu Army according to the plan, we'll retreat into the castle and make our last stand." Laing said, "Or, if the Seed of Destruction decides to appear in person, you two will immediately stop resisting and retreat into the castle to lure the Seed of Destruction in."
"Anglo and I will deal with the Seed of Destruction personally. I've prepared some special gifts for the First Blood God Prince in the castle and the cave inside the castle." Laing glanced at the passage behind the hall.
"That's good." Aralos nodded in agreement. The wood elf hero thought that it wouldn't be good if the two of them won. Of course, it wouldn't be good if they lost. How about they die together with the Seed of Destruction?
"Then we'll prepare according to this plan." After Laing assigned the tasks, everyone dispersed. At this moment, Anglo called out to him, "Laing, my brother, are you free?"
"Yes, brother. Do you think there's a problem?" Laing looked at Anglo.
"Let's go out for a walk. Just the two of us." Anglo grinned. "After all, this might be our last battle."
"I have something to tell you."
