Two days later, the three of them arrived at the Frost Castle of the Ice and Snow Empire. Under Yuna's consciousness exploration, the three of them quickly found the place where the Gangze Empire people were hiding. However, in order to avoid being affected, the three of them decided to visit again late at night.
.
There were not many people who escaped from Gangze, not even a hundred people in total. They were placed in a villa in the castle. Based on their mental exploration, they learned that there were a large number of guards nearby. These people seemed to be there.
Protecting them actually means monitoring these people.
Late at night, the three Woods sneaked into the villa quietly. After bypassing a large number of guards, Wood and others sneaked underground and entered the villa. At this time, someone was talking above them, and the three Woods pricked up their ears to listen.
"Your Majesty, the ice and snow have formed an alliance with magic, and we are also controlled. We were deceived by the ice and snowman!"
Wood frowned. He didn't recognize the speaker, but wasn't Emperor Gangze dead? Then who was his majesty in their mouth?
"You can't blame the Ice and Snow Empire. After all, the enemy is too powerful." This was Dick's voice. Wood's expression became more solemn. Why did they call Dick "Your Majesty"?
Another voice said:
"Your Majesty, how about we escape and assassinate Wood and the others!"
Dick said:
"There are too many people who want to kill Wood. Do you have the ability?"
This is indeed true. Who is Wood? Even if all the high-level practitioners here try to kill Wood together, there is no hope.
There was no reply for a long time. After a while, Dick continued:
"The Gangze Empire is gone, and our ability cannot restore the country. I want to give up!"
"Your Majesty!" A unified voice.
By this time, Wood no longer wanted to eavesdrop. He, Eva, and Andy appeared in the villa. At this time, the Gangze people were kneeling in front of Dick. After the three people appeared, they were subconsciously stunned.
But then they all took out their weapons and were on guard.
The people present were all high-level practitioners, and they reacted extremely quickly. Although they knew that they were no match for Wood, but now that Wood suddenly appeared, they didn't mind having a final struggle with Wood.
Wood said with a smile:
"We just came here to chat, I hope you don't mind."
Dick, the only one sitting in the field, smiled and said:
"Everyone, relax and welcome Mr. Wood."
At this time, Dick had an indescribable temperament, a bit like a superior, and a bit like the vicissitudes of life. This sudden change surprised Wood. In the past, Dick was a small person. Although there was fighting spirit in his eyes, he was from a humble background.
, there was always a tone of humility in his language, but it was very different now.
The Gangze people did not put down their weapons and still stood on the opposite side, staring closely at Wood and others.
Wood smiled slightly and said:
"I think your desperate struggle is useless."
One person said angrily:
"Then you can try it!"
After saying that, the man was about to take action, but Dick suddenly shouted:
"stop!"
The Gangze people stopped their respectful movements, and Dick continued:
"Let Mr. Wood continue."
Wood still smiled and said:
"Now that Gangze has been destroyed, and our Magic Empire has an army of one million, how many of you are left? A million troops versus a few hundred of you is ridiculous!"
"Even if it's ridiculous, we won't give in like you!" one person said angrily.
At this time, Wood's expression suddenly became angry:
"If I really want to destroy Gangze, there is already no one in Gangze, Shacheng. Will you still have the chance to fight me so many times? I won't kill you because you are all talented people. It would be a pity to die.
, but if you continue to persist, I will not relent."
The Gangze people were even more angry at this time. They knew how powerful Wood was, but when they were so angry, who cared about this.
But Dick stood up and said:
"Sir, I can understand your benevolence, but what use do we, these defeated generals, have in your eyes? Tell us your purpose!"
Wood said solemnly:
"In my eyes, a thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. You are the most outstanding warriors I have ever seen. You are willing to risk everything for the empire and the people. You among these people are exactly the talents I long for."
"What a pity!" Dick excused himself:
"We are not members of the same country and have different positions, so we can only become enemies."
Dick's words were telling Wood that they would not surrender, even if there were only a few of them left.
Wood sighed and said:
"Do you know why the Ice and Snow Empire did not fight with us, but instead formed an alliance with us?"
Dick looked at Wood doubtfully, and Wood continued:
"It's not that the Ice and Snow Empire doesn't have the ability to fight with me, it's that they can't afford it. If our war continues endlessly and the last wealth of mankind is consumed by us, what will we be able to do to fight against the demons?"
At this time, everyone in Gangze heard Wood mention the demon clan, and they suddenly fainted. Wood continued:
"The situation in the Divine Grace Continent is chaotic. Under the prompts of the gods, the Divine Grace Continent began to fight for unification. Why?"
No one answered because they knew why.
Wood continued:
"Humanity today is like a piece of loose sand. If this situation persists until that day comes, how can I join forces to fight against it? Hatred has blinded our eyes and prevented us from seeing the future clearly, but as human beings, we all have a common goal, hope
You can let go of the hatred in your heart and accept the reality."
After Wood's words, everyone softened and lost their temper, but one person still said harshly:
"Even if this is the case, then we will not want your loyalty. We have our own commander, and he can command us to fight."
Wood smiled and said:
"Really! Dick, do you think there is anyone on the Divine Grace Continent whose commanding ability can surpass mine?"
The person the man was talking about was Dick, but Wood was questioning Dick. This seemingly mocking questioning tone actually made everyone understand that he, Wood, was the most powerful person in the Divine Grace Continent, whether it was fighting or commanding.
Dick bent down slightly, saluted and said:
"I'm not as good as you!"
Everyone in Gangze closed their eyes, and Dick surrendered, which represented Dick's feelings.
Wood continued:
"It's good to know. What I told you back then is still valid. You are the talent that I, Wood, value most. I want to accept you as my disciple. Together, we can shoulder the burden of human survival."
Dick is no longer the little person he was back then. He is now your Majesty. Although he is in name only, this status cannot be accepted by anything.
However, everyone present recognized Wood's ability. Although Dick is indeed not Wood's opponent, as long as Dick hangs out with Wood for a few years, he will definitely be able to compete with Wood. However, Dick cannot agree to this condition because they are enemies and have different positions.
.
But Dick said:
"Sir, Mr. Wood, if you want me to promise you, you can hand over the management of Gangze to me. I agree with this opinion."
Dick actually made this request, my God! The Magic Empire has just pacified Gangze, and the foundation of many things has not yet been solidified. If Dick is allowed to manage Gangze at this time, and he waves his arm and Gangze escapes the control of the Magic Empire, then Gangze will
There will inevitably be a resurgence.
At this time, everyone in Gangze looked at Wood excitedly. They didn't think Wood would be stupid enough to agree to Dick's request. This was the best reason for rejection!
But Wood's answer surprised everyone.
"Okay! I agree! But remember, I can let you manage all the cities in Gangze, but it does not mean that you are the highest decision-maker, because Gangze now belongs to the territory of the Magic Empire."
Dick bowed deeply and said:
"I understand! Thank you Mr. Wood for your trust!"
Wood smiled and said:
"Then let's hold a ceremony sometime. I, Wood's apprentice, will of course announce it to the world."
At this time, everyone was very puzzled, and Wood looked at Dick with a smile and said:
"You will accept all my inheritance, including my sect."
Now everyone was stunned, Wood was too generous! They thought that Wood's acceptance of Dick was just a show on the surface, but they knew that Wood was sincere. After becoming Wood's disciple, he actually had
I hope to take over the sect, my God!
Wood smiled and patted Dick on the shoulder and said:
"Boy, I am very optimistic about you. I hope that everything you do in the future will be for the future of mankind."
"I will definitely do it!" Dick saluted respectfully.
