Chapter 224: Shadow Guard Thirteen.
After all, after being backstabbed twice by his wife, it was really difficult for Garruk to feel any sadness about the news of his wife's death.

At this moment, Garruk felt more relieved than sad.

As a couple, if Lena hadn't died, it would have been difficult for him to deal with it.

After all, it is impossible to ignore this kind of betrayal. But if you deal with it, not to mention that your daughter will be uncomfortable being caught in the middle, it will be a heavy blow to the reputation of the Oriana royal family.

It would be better for her to die, so that she can find any excuse to cover up what Reina did.

"That." Garruk looked at Elizabeth hesitantly.

"King Garruk, I'm sorry. The group of people who held the princess hostage have endangered the interests of the kingdom and put the kingdom in crisis. I cannot compromise just because the princess is hostage." Elizabeth took a look at Garruk and knew what he wanted to ask her, so she explained in advance.

And after hearing what Elizabeth said, Garruk knew that his daughter had not taken action.

For him, that was enough.

After all, if a daughter really killed her mother, it would be too cruel for Rose.

"Thank you, Lady Elizabeth. By the way, what happened after you arrived at Sethu City? Why was the [Black Rose] still activated?" King Garuk only had the mind to care about other things at this moment.

However, he had only asked two questions when he was interrupted by Elizabeth.

"King Garruk, you can ask Rose about the details later. As for the general situation, we got the key back, but because we knew very little about the key, the Diabolos Cult took advantage of it.

But don't worry, although the [Black Rose] has been opened and monsters from another world have invaded the Kingdom of Oriana, all the monsters in the kingdom have been cleared by Rose and I. We came to meet you only after confirming that there were no monsters left." Elizabeth concluded.

"Is that so? Then I feel much more at ease. By the way, does your Lady Elizabeth know the gentleman who fought the giant monster in the sky?" Garuk asked.

"I'm sorry, I don't know that person. She suddenly appeared in the air, and I didn't notice whether she came from the other side of the [Black Rose] passage. But she did save us a lot of time.

Otherwise, I will have to stop the big guy, leaving Rose to clean up the monsters that fell into the kingdom alone. I estimate that the damage and losses caused by the monsters will be even greater." Elizabeth shook her head.

"That's such a pity! I would really like to express my sincere gratitude in person." The expression on Garuk's face was not a test, but real regret.

After all, Zeta has demonstrated a strength that is almost like a moving natural disaster. If he can win them over, Garuk will have the confidence to say no to any country or force.

Originally, he thought that Elizabeth knew the other person. After all, in his opinion, anyone who could stop the monsters from invading the Kingdom of Oriana must be a friendly force. So he subconsciously thought that Zeta was a helper called by Elizabeth, just like the big guy who treated him.

But I didn't expect Elizabeth to directly deny it.

It's a pity that we have no chance to meet. After all, the Kingdom of Oriana was rescued by the other party this time, which is a great favor that we must be grateful for.

"Father, let's hurry back to the capital. Such a big thing has happened, and the capital urgently needs you to stabilize the already turbulent political situation." Rose said at the side.

"Yes, such a big thing happened in the kingdom. We must rush back to the capital as soon as possible." After saying that, Garuk looked at Rose.

"Let the guards go back on their own. I will take you, father, back to the capital with my teacher." Rose knew what her father meant, which was to take the empty road.

"Okay, given the current situation, we really need to get back to the capital as quickly as possible." Garuk gave some instructions to the guards who came to escort him, and then he was carried on Rose's back. He jumped into the air, shot forward, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Captain Oga, what should we do next? Should we return to the capital quickly?" Watching the princess leaving with the king on her back, Oga's confidant stepped forward and asked quietly.

The members of the guard were actually quite speechless about this escort mission. After all, if Her Royal Highness the Princess had such ability, it would have been much better for her to just carry the king back from the Kingdom of Midgar. Why would she have made such a hard journey?

"Return to the royal capital? Is your head filled with tofu dregs?" Oga glanced at his confidant and said speechlessly.

"Aren't you going back to the capital?" the confidant asked in confusion.

"Fool, didn't you hear what Her Excellency Elizabeth said? She and Princess Rose have already cleared the monsters in the kingdom, so the most important thing now is to quickly enter the city of Sethu that has been invaded by monsters, and then organize disaster relief in the name of the princess.

That is the future queen. Now is the best time to accumulate fame. We can't let some shameless guys take the credit for Her Royal Highness's achievements. Do you understand what we are going to do now?" Aoji asked, looking at his confidant.

"I see. To publicize the princess's achievements and so on, captain, don't we have to travel all over the kingdom?" The confidant then realized that he would still have to travel for a long time.

"Idiot, it's enough to spread the word all the way back to the capital. How long do you think it will take for things to have happened by the time we run across the entire kingdom?" Oga looked at his confidant and suddenly felt extremely tired.

It was clearly a meritorious deed, but after talking to him about it for a few minutes, instead of feeling excited, I felt extremely tired.

Li De also felt tired.

It was just a video conference call, and if Clyde hadn't interrupted it, he would have had several arguments with Alpha.

However, Reed also understood that Alpha would not be willing to give up competing with Claire for the position of the first wife.

Reed also thought of a solution to this. After determining the base camp, he would not allow Claire to leave her split body in the real world.

In the future, after I conquer this world, I will marry Alpha and make her the queen of this world. I think Alpha will be able to accept this.

"Sid, I didn't expect that the things I was worried about before have been dealt with so quickly." In a manor in the capital of Midgar, Claire looked at Reed and said.

"Isn't it normal to deal with them? After all, they are all piled up together." Reed didn't quite understand what Claire meant by this.

"Sid, now that these things have come to an end, do you think we should go on to the next mission?" Claire asked Reed.

"Let's go for the next mission now?" Li Deke didn't expect Claire to be more anxious than him. "Yes, with the efficiency of the nobles, even if something big happens, it is impossible to make a major change in the situation in just a few days, and even if it does happen, the split body can handle it on its behalf.

This time should be enough for us to complete the next mission. Sid, I'm not rushing you, we really don't have any points left, and the Shadow Courtyard may need several points of slave contracts in the future." Claire looked at Reed and said.

"Sister, you are not planning to target the people in Shadow Courtyard, are you?" Reed asked Claire.

"Sid, Shadow Court was originally formed by you, but I found that many members don't know you and only know the Seven Shadows. Alpha and the others did a very bad job in this regard." Claire had come into contact with the girls of Shadow Court before, and she might have heard something and said this.

"So what?" Reed looked at Claire and asked.

"We must change the situation where Alpha manages the Shadow Courtyard alone. After all, if she can't manage it well, she should let others participate in the joint management." Claire said confidently.

"In other words, sister, you hope that after the personnel contracts of Shadow Courtyard are signed, the personnel will be redistributed, is that right?" Reed roughly understood what Claire meant.

"Sid, I'm not targeting Alpha. In fact, Beta, Gamma and the others have made great contributions to the Shadow Courtyard, but their current power does not match their efforts. They are all possessed by demons who were rescued by you. Why does Alpha have the absolute right to speak?

So I want to take this opportunity to reorganize the Shadow Court. You know, without you, Sid, developing the means to cure those possessed by demons, they would all become experimental subjects of the Diabolos Cult, and who knows where they would die miserably in the end.

Therefore, the lives of these people belong to you. What they should do most is not to fight against the Diabolos Cult, but to serve you well. Your will is their life goal. They should not mistake the importance of you and the Diabolos Cult. "Claire continued.

"Then if you, sister, were asked to reorganize the Shadow Courtyard, what would you do?" Li De asked after thinking for a while.

"I will distribute the members who are willing to sign the contract equally. I, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Ipsilon, Zeta, Ita, Elizabeth, Victoria, Shiho, Fubuki and others will form twelve exclusive teams to protect you. Any action will be based on your will." Claire said calmly.

"Sister, why did you miss Alexia?" Reed asked Claire.

"I don't think she is qualified to lead a team alone. She is only worthy of being a member of my team. It's that simple." Claire said coldly. It seemed that she still hadn't gotten over the knot that Reed had given Alexia for the first time.

"Sister, how about adding one more team and forming Shadow Guard Team 13?" Reed asked Claire.

"Sid, do you like Alexia so much?" Claire asked reluctantly.

"Sister, you know that I only like you the most, but you also know that any man has a special feeling for his first woman. It would be best if you could take care of her." Reed looked at Claire and said.

"That's why I hate Alexia." Claire expressed her dislike for Alexia without any concealment at this moment.

"Isn't that possible?" Reed opened his eyes wide and looked at Claire with a slightly pitiful look.

"Sid, how can I possibly hold on when you look at me like that? I really can't do anything about you, but you have to promise me that she will always be ranked last and her ranking will never be improved, okay?" This time it was Claire's turn to look at Reed with a pleading look.

"Since you said so, I will definitely agree." Li De nodded naturally. After all, he really couldn't help Alexia get more.

You have to know that among the 13 Shadow Guardians, except for Miyano Shiho and Fubuki, everyone else hates Alexia because of their first time.

But since Claire cares so much, Reed will naturally not refuse her request.

Although Claire's tone was so domineering before, she was actually observing Li De's expression while she was speaking.

After all, even though she hated Alexia, she didn't want Li De to feel dissatisfied with her because of Alexia.

Because of this, Li De didn't speak directly, but instead acted cute for once to soften Claire's attitude.

"Sid, since you agree, when do you plan to reorganize Shadow Court?" Claire asked while the iron was hot.

"Then sister, when do you think is the right time?" Reed asked Claire.

"After the next mission." Claire said with a serious expression.

"Do we need to be so anxious after the next mission?" Li De was stunned when he heard this.

"Sid, since the reorganization is going to happen sooner or later, it's better to do it sooner. Anyway, more than half of the thirteen captains already have their own contractors, so there's no need to wait any longer, right?

After the next mission is completed and 500 points are obtained, except for the 100 points reserved for unexpected situations, the rest can be used to increase the number of places, so that 40 new contractors can be added.

Add the 40 points you currently have in your hand and distribute them evenly. Each captain can get at least 4 contractors, and can form a team of at least five to six people, which is enough to set up the framework of the Shadow Guard Thirteen.

After that, we just need to complete the tasks continuously, and we can continuously select suitable personnel from the Shadow Courtyard and even other worlds to expand, and sooner or later the size of the Shadow Guard Thirteen will be expanded. "Claire seemed to have seriously considered it.

"Then let's do as my sister says." Li De nodded immediately.

After all, Claire's idea of ​​the Shadow Guard Thirteen was of great benefit to her, and it could be regarded as a reintegration and optimization of her current forces.

As for why Claire came up with such a plan, Reed knew very well that it was nothing more than to divide the power in Alpha's hands.

In fact, Reed knew very well that Alpha did not care about these rights.

If Claire hadn't been so aggressive, she wouldn't have been so confrontational.

However, as long as Reed promises to give her a grand wedding that belongs to her alone in the real world, Alpha will definitely be willing to give in to Claire.

affim!
