"Of course!" Prince Edward was overjoyed.
House's second betrayal caused his plan to fail. If he could enlist the help of the barbarians, he could replace House and continue to complete his revenge plan.
Aoi took a bowl of water, put some unknown powder in it, and dripped her own blood into it.
"It's your turn, Prince."
She looked at Edward, who followed suit and broke his finger, dripping blood.
The water in the bowl suddenly began to boil, and then turned dark red, which looked very strange.
Aoi picked up the water, took a sip herself, and then handed it to Edward: "Drink it!"
Edward frowned, but did as he was told.
But after he drank it, he retched for a while and knew that this stuff definitely didn't taste good.
"Isn't this the blood-based alliance we Daxia people had in ancient times?" Xiaoniao muttered.
Elliot asked Beth in a low voice: "What is that witch doing? Can you understand it?"
"Well, a little bit." Beth pursed her lips and said, "The Mages Guild has some records about alien witchcraft. They will use blood to reach contracts, but the specific operations and principles are not clear."
"But one thing is for sure, once a contract is reached through this kind of witchcraft, it must not be violated, otherwise the consequences will be very miserable!"
Seeing Edward drinking the blood, Kui's expression softened a little, and she nodded: "Now, we have reached a contract and are partners. We will help you regain the throne. Please don't forget your promise! Your Highness!"
"Don't worry, I won't break my promise." Edward nodded solemnly.
After discussing the alliance, everyone began to discuss how to deal with House.
This guy is huddled in a strong fortress, with more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, and there are undead souls on him, making it very difficult to deal with.
Moreover, Edward hoped to recruit these rebels. He believed that some of these people should be forced to rebel.
As long as he proves his identity and pardons the crimes of these rebels, I believe they will surrender to him.
This way, he had an army at his disposal.
Zhang Ze pondered: "If this is the case, we can only transfer House away from his army, but this is not easy."
"Unless someone acts as bait."
Everyone looked at Prince Edward.
Yes, if he is used as bait, House will definitely come out.
"No! Absolutely not!" Elliot slammed the table and shouted: "We cannot let the prince take risks! If something happens, who will be responsible!?"
Edward patted Elliot on the back and said, "Don't get excited, Elliot. I also think this is the best way. Otherwise, how will House be lured out?"
"But..." Elliot looked confused, and finally sighed heavily.
At this time, Yiye Zhiqiu suddenly said: "I have a way. We don't need to take risks with the prince, and we can still lure House out."
"What method?" Everyone looked at him. Only Zhang Ze thought of something and nodded slightly: "Well, this method is also possible, but it is a bit risky."
"It doesn't matter. I have the snow girl to protect me and nothing will happen."
Yiye Zhiqiu said: "I can use [disguise] to look like a prince. No one can recognize me, and the same goes for House."
The giant god looked at Yiye Zhiqiu with a solemn expression: "Zhiqiu, you must be careful, the other party wants the prince's life, so once he finds you, he will never show mercy!"
Others also looked worried.
"Well, don't worry, everyone." Yiye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "I'm not a fool. I'll run away if things don't go well."
To be on the safe side, Zhang Ze decided to summon another follower to protect Yiye Zhiqiu to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After the plan was discussed, everyone rested in the tribe.
At the same moment, inside the Western Fortress.
"You actually let them run away? Damn it!"
House looked angry. He held the necklace pendant and said secretly: "The Necromancer has never failed. What happened this time?"
He stood at the top of the city and looked towards the mountains: "That's the territory of the barbarians. Could it be that those barbarians saved the prince and the others?"
"Impossible, the barbarians are our enemies. They will only kill them when they see the prince. It is impossible to save them."
"Hmph, Your Highness, just hide and seek with the barbarians in the wilderness!"
…
Three days later.
House was inspecting the fortress when someone suddenly reported to him: "Lord House, we found several people trying to bypass our fortress and enter the White Lion Kingdom!"
"Oh? Go and have a look!"
House immediately climbed to the top of the city and raised his telescope to take a look.
When he saw the other person clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank: "It's the prince!"
At this time, thousands of meters away, Prince Edward was riding a horse forward with a woman in white clothes and white hair in his arms.
Judging from his panic, it seemed like someone was chasing him from behind.
House put down his telescope and lost himself in thought.
"The prince is alone...where did the others go? Where are Elliot and Beth? And those other people, why are they missing?"
"Could it be that they were all killed by barbarians?"
"Yeah! It's very possible!"
The corners of House's lips curled up: "They must have encountered barbarians in the mountains. The two sides fought, but they were outnumbered. Except for the prince, everyone else died..."
"Hehe, this is a good opportunity. As long as I capture the prince alive and hand him over to the queen, my mission will be completed. The queen will definitely reward me and her promise will be fulfilled!"
Thinking of this, House immediately ordered: "Come here, follow me out to catch the prince!"
A few minutes later, the fortress gate was opened, and House led a cavalry team of more than a hundred people to chase the prince in the direction of escape.
"Brother Rakshasa, House has taken someone out!"
Moonlight Bunny put down the sniper rifle and turned to report to Zhang Ze.
"Very good, let's set off too!"
Zhang Ze patted the Dark Dragon God's big head and ordered: "Fly into the fortress!"
"Roar!"
The Dark Dragon God flapped his wings and flew into the sky with a group of people.
"As expected of the Oracle!" Kui held Zhang Feng's hand and sighed in her heart as she looked at the increasingly smaller tribe below.
When the Dark Dragon God flew over the fortress, the soldiers inside had already discovered it. Without House's command, they were at a loss.
Some fired arrows and attacked, some ran away with their heads in their hands, and some stayed in place. The scene was a mess.
After getting rid of several soldiers who attacked them, the Dark Dragon King fell into the fortress. His deafening roar frightened the surrounding soldiers so much that they hid and did not dare to show their heads.
Prince Edward took the opportunity to stand on the back of the dragon and "persuade" the surrounding soldiers to surrender.
The content is nothing more than:
"Put down your weapons and no one will die!"
"Follow House, your future will be dark! If you are willing to be loyal to me, I will forget everything in the past!"
"Your family will receive good treatment, and you yourself will receive meritorious service. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so be sure to seize it!"
After some heartbreaking propaganda, many soldiers laid down their weapons and expressed their willingness to submit to the prince.
This momentum quickly spread throughout the fortress, and almost 90% of the soldiers swore allegiance. Zhang Ze's plan was successful.
"Your Highness, you can handle this by yourself."
"Now, we are going to help Yiye Zhiqiu."
Zhang Ze, Giant God and others boarded the back of the Dark Dragon God again and flew in the direction of Yiye Zhiqiu.
At this moment, House has led people to surround Yiye Zhiqiu.
"His Royal Highness is so charming. He didn't forget to take a woman with him when he fled, hehe!"
House looked sarcastic. In his opinion, the royal family members are all trash!
Yiye Zhiqiu had already received the information from his companions and knew that everyone would be here soon. He smiled slightly and said, "House, you have fallen into the trap. The western fortress already belongs to the prince."
"What?" House was stunned, and then he was shocked to find that the prince in front of him gradually changed his appearance.
"You're not a prince! Bastard!"
He immediately realized that he had been fooled, and in a rage, he ordered: "Kill them!"
Dozens of cavalrymen raised their crossbows and fired at them.
"Ice wall!"
The snow girl raised her hand, and three ice walls appeared instantly, blocking all the crossbow arrows.
Yiye Zhiqiu used [Ice Wind and Rain] and instantly froze a dozen people into ice sculptures.
"You actually know magic?" House was shocked. He immediately took out the necklace and released the undead inside: "Tear them into pieces!"
The undead roared and rushed towards Yiye Zhiqiu and Yukionna. The solid ice wall could not stop it at all, and it was passed through in an instant.
"Walk!"
Seeing this, the snow girl pulled up Yiye Zhiqiu and jumped into the air to avoid the undead.
The next moment, the horses beneath them were torn apart by the undead!
Just as the undead were about to catch up with them, a blue figure hugged them and flew away quickly.
"Make a wish." The oil lamp giant said to the two people in his arms.
"I make a wish!" Yiye Zhiqiu shouted: "Destroy that undead spirit!"
"As you wish!"
The oil lamp giant turned around and spit out a blue whirlwind at the chasing undead, instantly surrounding it.
Click, click, click!
The body of the undead slowly turned to stone, and finally hit the ground with a thud.
One night Zhiqiu was overjoyed: "Is this guy dead?"
As a result, his smile froze on his face, and he saw that the undead spirit that had turned into a stone elephant gradually returned to its original state, and charged forward again with its teeth and claws bared.
"Why is it useless?" Yiye Zhiqiu was shocked.
The Oil Lamp Giant was also surprised: "This monster ignores my magic? How strange!"
After that, Yiye Zhiqiu made two more wishes, but still could not get rid of the undead.
"It seems that we can only place our hope on Aoi." Yiye Zhiqiu shook his head helplessly.
On the ground, House sneered: "It's useless! This undead is the guardian of the barbarians. It is so powerful that no one can deal with it!"
House once wanted to use the undead to kill the king, but was unable to do so.
Because of the limitations of the thing, House couldn't take it out of the land or it would retract into the pendant.
Therefore, he has not dared to counterattack the royal capital, otherwise he would have been the king now.
"Zhiqiu, we are here!"
Zhang Ze's voice came from the sky, and Yiye Zhiqiu was overjoyed and shouted hurriedly: "Get rid of this undead quickly, even the giant oil lamp god can't do anything to it!"
Zhang Ze looked at Xiang Kui: "The next step is up to you!"
"Yes, Lord Oracle!"
Kui took Zhang Feng's hand and said, "Don't be nervous, just recite the mantra I taught you in the past three days, and remember not to stop!"
"Okay!" Zhang Feng took a deep breath and began to chant in a low voice according to the formula in his memory.
To be honest, she didn't understand the meaning of the spell at all and just memorized it by rote. Fortunately, she had a good memory and could write it down word for word.
Aoi also chanted the incantation along with her, but what she chanted was a different one.
However, the two mantras combined do not interfere with each other, and even give people a feeling of complementing each other, and the rhythm is particularly good.
Buzz!
As the mantra was recited, the wooden staff in Aoi's hand once again emitted green light, and the light became more and more intense, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
"The giant oil lamp god, bring the undead here!"
Zhang Ze's situation was almost the same and he immediately shouted loudly.
call!
The oil lamp giant shook off the undead and flew quickly towards Zhang Ze, with the undead following closely behind.
"Sleep well!"
Aoi targeted the undead, waved the wooden stick, and the green beam hit the undead!
Suddenly, the undead's body was engulfed in green light. It let out a headache-inducing scream inside, and then disappeared.
"Did you make it?"
Zhang Feng stopped the spell, and Kui smiled and said, "It worked. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to do it alone."
On the ground, House was stunned. He couldn't believe that the undead could be eliminated!
"This is impossible!" His eyes were red and bloodshot.
Now that he has lost the fortress and the undead, he has nothing left.
"Your prince asked me to tell you, lay down your arms and be loyal to the prince, and your treason will be pardoned, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
Titan yelled at the rest of the soldiers.
The soldiers looked at each other and finally dropped their weapons and surrendered.
Seeing that the situation was not good, House turned the horse's head and ran away in one direction.
However, no matter how fast his horse was, it could not match the wings of the Dark Dragon God. In just a few minutes, he was overtaken.
"Roar!"
The Dark Dragon God burned it into ashes with a [Fire Dragon Breath].
"Finally...the sinner is punished as he deserves!" Aoi watched House being burned to death. She crossed her hands on her chest and silently prayed to her ancestors.
Everyone returned to the fortress, where Prince Edward and the three men were waiting for news about them.
"House is dead? Haha, great!" Elliot laughed happily, he hated betrayers the most.
Prince Edward said to Aoi: "Dear wizard, I will keep my promise now and return this land to you."
Aoi also nodded slightly to the prince: "Thank you, Your Highness, I wish you will realize your wish and regain the throne."
Afterwards, the gates of the western fortress were opened wide, and Kui's tribe returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors.
In order to protect Kui's tribe, Prince Edward left three thousand people to garrison the fortress, and he planned to take away all the remaining more than ten thousand people.
This way, Aoi's tribe doesn't have to send troops, which makes Aoi very happy.
After all, people will die in war, and she doesn't want to see her people die on the battlefield.
However, we can't take action now. We have to wait until the Elf clan besieges the Black Stone Kingdom and the White Lion Kingdom mobilizes all its troops. Otherwise, it is impossible to win with just over 10,000 people.
Therefore, we can only wait patiently, wait for the dwarves to build the weapons, and then wait for the elves to send troops.
I have to say that King Ironbeard was really efficient. He originally spent ten days talking, but ended up building the weapon in seven days and sent it to the Elf Kingdom.
On this day, an elf bird flew to Prince Edward and conveyed the message of the Elf Queen to him.
"Haha! The elves have sent troops!"
After seeing the information, Edward's face was filled with excitement.
