Chapter 494 Everything Is Inferior, only Fists Are Superior

Although the Sun King had no confidence when he said this, he didn't expect that someone would say something as soon as he finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, the enemy's slap has already hit our face. Do we have to wait for them to slap us again before we fight back?"

Turning his head, he unexpectedly saw that it was Duke Li Guang, who was also an opposition noble like Duke Xia Guang, and also had great power and real power.

Haha, these two old guys are finally wearing the same pants?

At this point, Duke Xia Guang's entire plan for tonight has finally come to light.

Talk about friendship first, show off aging, deliberately show weakness, and let the Sun King take it lightly.

Then show your offspring, use obvious loopholes in your words to induce the Sun King to react, so that he can tear down the warm atmosphere he created.

Then deliberately make vague remarks about marrying the princess, tricking the two old foxes, Hu Guang and Xi Guang, to use their skills of "throwing a tantrum to change the subject" in advance.

Next, Eleanor was introduced, so that the Sun King, who would certainly be embarrassed, would take the initiative to mention the concessions that Huiguang had made to Shenlin.

Finally, now, while using objective facts to roast the Sun King, he called out his new ally to add a spoonful of explosive material.

A killer move, no solution!

As for what his real purpose was, the Sun King had roughly guessed it.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, it is not only his choice of [not agreeing] that will allow the Duke of Xiaguang to gain the claim and righteousness, even if he chooses [agreeing], it is the same.

The reason is why Shenlin, while giving up the liquidation of the Changge lineage, explicitly asked Huiguang not to provide Eleanor with a normal royal education?

Because in the Huiguang Kingdom, the word "Changge" represents something that is as important as King Anton VI himself.

Especially in the West, in this ravaged land that is very close to the fiefdom of the Duke of Xiaguang, the gold content of this word can even be greater than that of the king.

After the death of Marquis Changge and Princess Mengquan, the only one who can fully fulfill this claim is Eleanor.

So if he agrees, a powerful duke will be born who has a lot of reputation in the kingdom and has easy access to large tracts of land nearby.

Then.

[Duke Xiaguang] Evolves!

(Old man spins)

[Land-splitting warlord]!

As a result, the Sun King fell into a dilemma, and even the only way out [proposing other means of revenge] was banned.

There is no way, in this situation, he believes that no matter what he proposes, it will definitely be rejected by the two dukes.

After a big circle, he forced his finger back to the "grant marriage" button.

"Your Majesty, please?"

And Xiaguang seemed to think that he had a piece of cake today, and kept urging with Li Guang.

"Your Majesty, time is urgent, make a decision early."

"Your Majesty, Heinz is really a very kind young man."

"Your Majesty, Her Highness Eleanor will definitely be happy if she marries him."

"Your Majesty..."

"Enough!"

Just then, a loud shout interrupted their brain-piercing magic sound, but this voice did not come from the dinner table.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that at some point, a familiar person appeared at the door of the banquet hall.

A person they feared like a tiger back then.

Xia Guang was frightened and turned pale, Li Guang dodged subconsciously, and even the other people in the venue changed their faces.

Because.

"Your Majesty the King... Queen, why are you here?"

"If I don't come, I'm afraid someone will rebel."

If the common people are born as mules and horses, and the nobles are born in Rome, these nobles opened their eyes and got the queue number to enter the Senate.

Then, as an extraterritorial demon, the savior personally led by the world consciousness, Meryl, who is good at magic, proficient in stealth, and has retained complete memory, is the next generation of the royal power whose diapers are purple.

And the Emperor Quansha... she "killed all of them", how could she be a good person?

So when everyone was still young and formed several small gangs to cause trouble all over the country, almost everyone present had been beaten by Meryl, which was a one-time deep-rooted memory of fear.

Including now, one of the reasons why Xiaguang could lay this trap was that he heard that the queen was seriously ill and the king was now empty of strong people around him, so he had no confidence to overturn the table in public.

However, the facts proved that his intelligence was always inaccurate. This terrible queen was not only not dead, but also looking at her current complexion, I am afraid that she could let them see her brains within three minutes.

Therefore, Duke Li Guang, who had clearly thought that he had a sure win and was waiting to see the king surrender and then dance a glorious victory dance, suddenly became timid and began to explain.

"What rebellion? This is all a misunderstanding, Your Majesty!"

Xia Guang was even more determined, blowing his beard fiercely and said in a shocking voice.

"Who dares to rebel against Your Majesty!? Our Xia Guang family will be the first to disagree!"

"Yes, we will not agree!"

This time it was not just Li Guang, just like Liang Shanbo, all the nobles rushed to show their loyalty to their brother, patting their chests loudly.

There was no way, no matter how clever the words were, there was a limit.

What about showing weakness, weighing, pretending to be deaf and dumb, coercion and inducement, dilemma...

It was useless in the face of absolute power.

This is the reality of the magical world, this is the value of level 80!

With his wife's support, Anton VI, who was quite passive just now, also made up for a wave of calcium.

Now he is no longer timid, no longer entangled, his back is straight, and his hands are pressed down.

"Okay, okay, calm down, I understand what you mean!"

"Haha, here are all loyal ministers who are loyal to the country and share my worries. This will not change in my heart."

After saying that, he deliberately glanced at the sunset and admired the clarity he had already returned.

"But."

But Meryl didn't let him pretend to be so cool, so she walked up and took out a chair from the storage bracelet and sat down.

"In any case, the overstepping behavior of the Deep Forest People must be punished, and this will not change."

Everyone: "Ah?"

And this time everyone really said "ah", there was no way, the speed of the reversal was too fast, and everyone's heart couldn't stand it.

Anton was also thinking that he had already untied the knot with Meryl and forgiven each other, and the only thing left was to fire a compound cannon, so why did this old woman jump out to destroy him.

Xiaguang wondered if the rumor that the king and the queen were not in harmony was true. According to this inference, could he find another potential ally?

However, the answer was none of them. As a bystander, Meryl had a position and starting point that none of them had expected.

——Want to marry Eleanor? Sure, but is it a good match?

This is Eleanor, the only daughter of Marquis Changge and Princess Mengquan, one of the five princesses of the Kingdom of Radiance, and has the right to inherit the next Sun King.

She has a teacher who is a respected and special honorary archbishop in the church, and maintains contact and friendship with many high-level church officials including the Holy Light Chosen.

All of the above seem to be okay, and seem to have some gold content.

But in fact, they are all golden spoons that her parents put in her mouth when she was born without doing anything, and they have nothing to do with her.

But!

Who told her to be fooled by Tenis to go to Sunshine City for gilding last year, so this resume can be continued.

First of all, [Participated in the defense of Sunshine City, assisted the Holy Light God to complete the advent ceremony, killed the evil god incarnation that almost occupied the city, and prevented the land from turning into a strange dead place]

Because there is enough evidence to prove that this evil god named [Shadow God] is related to the Wolf King Court that entrenched in the wasteland and set off a terrifying wolf disaster, so what is this called?

This is called the merit of protecting the country and defending the land!

You must understand that even if you value literature over martial arts, indulge in pleasure, and can be called the glory of the great coward in the other world, military exploits are also the most important part of your personal resume.

Then [After leaving Sunshine City and heading north, you deeply participated in the search and suppression of the major evil god church forces in the southern part of the kingdom, directly or indirectly saving the lives and property of countless people]

This wave, this wave can also be recorded in the church. A typical person who is friendly to the church among the nobles, the Pope must at least hand over a silk banner and three certificates of honor.

Although compared with those peerless geniuses who have left their names in history, this stuff is really too watery, and there won't be much left after draining it.

Let's not talk about the distant past, at least if Meryl pulled out her resume, the number of kills alone would be enough to beat her by eight streets.

And many places are vague, and the words are quite ambiguous, as if others gave her credit.

But!

She is only twenty this year.

And she has not received a systematic royal elite education since she was a child. The only classes on the schedule are etiquette, musical instruments, painting, and baking small cakes. It's understandable.

Besides, credit is credit.

With these credits, Eleanor is not an ordinary princess, but a princess with merits, and a princess who has left her name in the church.

On the other hand, someone.

Resume: The youngest son of the Duke of Xiaguang, suspected of being an illegitimate child, can play with swords and shields.

Merits: Not yet determined.

It's completely unequal.

So.

"Just now I heard Duke Li Guang say that the Deep Foresters' actions are equivalent to slapping us in the face."

"Then do you think that as long as we force a little girl to marry, whoever she marries... we can get revenge on them? We can slap back this slap?"

Of course, Meryl would not be able to get out of trouble if she only said these, because the core of the problem now is not how Eleanor is, but how to retaliate against the Deep Foresters' actions in an equal manner.

Therefore, the real purpose of her denial of the feasibility of this approach is actually to increase her persuasiveness and conduct a second round of arguments.

"So if you ask me, if we want to retaliate against them, we should tear up all the humiliation of twenty years ago!"

Anton VI's heart moved, and he instantly guessed Meryl's thoughts.

"What do you mean?"

It turned out that his guess was indeed correct, because the queen's next sentence was.

"Since we can defeat the million-level beast tide today, there is no reason why we can't defeat the plundering of the Deep Forest People."

"After twenty years of recuperation, we have more soldiers and generals. Since we have knives in our hands, we should use them."

"Don't you think so, Duke Xiaguang?"

Xiaguang: Uh, it's hard to judge.

Seeing the old man pretending to be dead again, Meryl laughed in her heart and said something.

"Duke Xiaguang didn't say anything, so he must have agreed."

Xiaguang: Nima!

He was about to make amends when he saw the queen clench her fist and said something decisive.

"In that case, I'll give you an idea. Each family will send out 10,000 troops, and I'll lead them. Let's march west to the Deep Forest before they kill us. How about that!"

Everyone: Damn, there's no need to be so extreme!

Now, let alone the glow of the sky, Li Guang, Xi Guang, and even the Sun King himself were so scared that they stood at attention.

He hurried over and held Meryl's hand.

"Queen, you are so confused! We haven't had a foreign war for 20 years. If we want to launch an expedition, it's not something we can start right away. At least we need a long time to prepare."

But the queen, who had always been strong, showed no weakness and pointed outside the city.

"Prepare? I see everyone is ready a long time ago. How many troops have been gathered outside now? They are all well-trained. I think it's a good time to counterattack the Deep Forest!"

"Are you right, Duke Li Guang?"

Li Guang: Oh my, this fork is really too forkful!

After that, the queen asked all the nobles present like a conscription officer. As a result, only Huguang and Xiguang vaguely agreed, and only Yueguang clearly said yes.

The Sun King also followed behind and pretended to persuade them all the way, like a sweet date after a slap, which made the nobles who were asked embarrassed and angry, but they couldn't say anything else.

But the continuous failures still made the queen tremble with anger, and her words were almost murderous.

"In this situation, no one is willing to send troops. How can we take revenge? This slap was really in vain?"

"Oh, who said it was in vain, why are you so anxious!"

The Sun King finally couldn't bear it anymore, and returned to his main seat with a flick of his sleeves, saying loudly.

"Everyone present here is a loyal and patriotic minister, and you have proposed such an extreme method, which is so dangerous that it is difficult for everyone to do it!"

"And do you know how risky the expedition is? If it goes wrong, it will cause serious injuries! Maybe the whole country will be lost!"

"In this situation, except for the kindness of the Duke of Moonlight, as a brother, he will give in to you because you are young, who would not refuse?"

Such a righteous statement, everyone naturally responded quickly: "That's right!"

Although Meryl was almost angry like a pufferfish, she could only sit down again after seeing this scene.

"Then please give us some advice, Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"An expedition is impossible, but we can still do something in our territory."

The Sun King sighed, and helplessness appeared on his face.

"The people and the nobles in the western border are suffering. How about this? Let's be brave and stop them from suffering."

"Tear up the promise made twenty years ago, and everyone will send out their own troops, divide them into pieces according to the scope of their territory, and rearrange the border defense and garrison in the western border. How about that?"
