Chapter 230: The Heart of the Eternal Night Queen

In the meeting hall, the officials were still arguing.

The war of words would not stop forever. Although the officials had their own standpoints, their firm beliefs in Goddess Order were interlinked. From this standpoint, the opinions of the officials had already begun to unify.

300 years ago, there were only a few hundred wolves in Eternal Night.

But now, the size of the wolf pack had already exceeded 20,000 and the number was completely out of control.

After some debate, a conclusion was presented to all the officials and was publicly acknowledged.

The chaos of the wolf pack and the collapse of Eternal Night would happen sooner or later.

Even if this plague did not cause a famine in advance

If the wolf pack continued to expand disorderly, the same problem would still happen when Eternal Night's food production could no longer supply the wolf pack.

Even if the problem of food was resolved by the Wolf Queen, what about the Wolf Queen herself? After the death of the Wolf Queen, the wolf pack would still break down if they lost this legendary leader that no one had ever seen before.

"Fellow comrades, there's something we have to admitthe wolf pack has already exceeded our control. What we can choose now is to interfere today or ten years later."

"The Wolf Queen, Hedwig, is only an exception. It's difficult for a barbaric wolf pack to give birth to a stable and civilized regime in the future."

"In that case, why does Eternal Night still need these dangerous werewolves?"

"Compared to the wolves, this country has a perfect choice."

"Fellow comrades, don't you think that the vampires previously are more suitable to rule over Eternal Night"

"The vampires have no desire to reproduce and the population won't increase. They will follow their tradition of a thousand years and let Eternal Night survive indefinitely in accordance with the expectations of Goddess Order."

Vampires were immortal, static, conservative and rational.

The undying True Ancestors would follow their unchanging guidelines and lead their subjects and food reserves forever.

That's right. In a sense, vampires were probably the perfect living beings in the eyes of Goddess Order.

In comparison, the lifespan of the wolf pack was less than a hundred years. The political situation led by them would definitely be turbulent, filled with endless variables and incomparably dangerous

Therefore

When an official produced evidence to prove that the vampires who were defeated by the wolves back then were still living in the darkness of Eternal Night and that there was even a surviving True Ancestor leading them

Finally, this argument came to an end.

Destroying the wolf pack was not to destroy the order of Eternal Night, but to rebuild a new order for the latter.

Cultivating a new regime could lead Eternal Night to eternal peace and prevent them from losing control and breaking down. Furthermore, it could obtain greater benefits for Haines.

"Destroy the regime of the werewolves and support the vampires to rule over Eternal Night."

Seeing that the discussion had come to an end, Cassius asked everyone, "So, is this the final answer of all the officials?"

Some of the officials nodded in agreement while others remained silent and did not refute.

The dust had settled.

At the same time, on the other side, the Wolf Queen closed her eyes in despair

The officials of Haines had already come up with a final answer.

That was the most disappointing answer.

When the Wolf Throat saw how disappointed and sad his queen was, he could not help but feel despair.

He already knew what had happened.

He asked carefully, "Leader, did those Haines officials come to a terrifying conclusion?"

"" The Wolf Queen gestured gentlyher thumb brushed past her neck and cut her throat like a sharp blade.

"I-Is that so? Is that how it's going to be"

Similar to the Wolf Queen, the Wolf Throat felt a sense of sadness and powerlessness as well.

"This outcome is not impossible"

"Leader, what should we do now"

""

"Leader"

In the meeting hall, the discussion of the officials was already over.

They sentenced 20,000 wolves of Eternal Night and their leader, the Wolf Queen, Hedwig, to death.

They handed over the final plan to the Empress. What happened next would depend on the Empress's decision.

After confirming the thoughts of the officials, Cassius was in no hurry to come to a conclusion.

First, she had to seek the opinion of the final executor.

Cassius asked softly, "Histia, do you have anything to say?"

Histia's voice sounded from a silver-white crystal that decorated the meeting hall.

"Although this decision is rather immoral, I'm willing to carry it out."

Histia expressed that she was willing to accept this job.

Cassius nodded.

She looked at everyone and confirmed, "Does anyone else have any problems with this?"

Right then, someone suddenly coughed twice and said calmly, "I have a problem."

The person who spoke was Prince Rayne.

Everyone's gaze was focused on this prince who had been silent the entire time.

Rayne met everyone's surprised gazes and said solemnly, "I object to this suggestion!"

The plan that was already formulated was interrupted by a single sentence. This was truly displeasing.

However, to the officials present, there was no anger or displeasure.

Actually, everyone was even more curious about what this prince had to say.

After all, according to what they knew today was the first time Prince Rayne had attended such an official state meeting.

Rayne looked around at everyone and said solemnly, "I've heard everyone's opinions and discovered a problem. In the face of 20,000 lives and the imminent death of a country, the basis for everyone's judgment is completely out of fear of the wolf pack. The situation is still completely under our control. Why are we so eager to take the most extreme measures?"

Rayne's question was immediately answered by an official. "Your Highness Rayne, the scale of the wolf pack has far exceeded the strength that Eternal Night should have for the past thousand years. Eternal Night is deviating from its status in history and we have no choice but to interfere."

Rayne said immediately, "Minister Elvis, you might not know this, but the prosperity of Eternal Night's wolf pack is definitely not an exception. Right now, the mortal world is facing a drastic change. There are even more invasions of the Nether Realm, the strongest Moonlight Queen in the mortal world has been born and the Evil Star, Far Silence, has descended Major events have happened all over the world. This is an era where heroes are born in large numbers."

Rayne said, "If we have the energy, we should guard against elements that are truly a threat to the mortal world instead of torturing our allies. That's short-sighted behavior."

"You're wrong. If we don't get rid of the danger of the wolf pack now, there will come a day when their order will collapse and the wolf pack will retaliate against Haines."

"If you think that we need allies, Your Highness, all we have to do is form an alliance with the vampires who will rule over Eternal Night in the future. Why must we keep the wolf pack? Your Highness Rayne, I can't understand your intentions."

Objections and doubts appeared one after another.

A new round of debate was about to begin.

At that moment, someone suddenly said loudly, "His Highness's intention is that the wolf pack will become our new ally. Furthermore, he can take responsibility for his actions!"

The person who spoke was Rayne's swordsmanship teacher, Archduke Norman.

Archduke Norman, who had experienced Rayne's swordsmanship before, was the first influential official to look at Rayne in a new light.

After knowing Rayne's recent achievements, he was even more certain that Rayne was the destined hero sent by Goddess Order to save the mortal world.

Now, in the face of everyone's doubts, the archduke stepped forward bravely.

"His Highness Rayne has the strength and qualifications to deal with the problem of Eternal Night alone."

The archduke looked at Rayne and said loudly, "Just like what His Highness Rayne did in the Heavenly Kingdoms."

The officials who refuted Rayne were speechless.

Archduke Norman was using Rayne's achievements to suppress them.

Long before Rayne returned home, news of his experience in the Heavenly Kingdoms had already spread to Haines.

The coronation of the God King to command the war was premised on the sudden death of the original God King of the Heavenly Kingdom. Rayne led the leaderless High Elves and won the third sacred war against the Evil Star.

If Rayne had not stepped forward, there was a high chance that the Heavenly Kingdoms would have fallen by now. The fragments of the Evil Star would have fallen into the mortal world and the dead divinity beings would have formed a mighty army. The tragic war would have devoured the entire mortal world

At that time, who would be able to sit in this meeting hall and drink tea and eat snacks while gossiping about a few werewolves?

The officials fell silent.

At that moment, someone raised a practical question. "However, Your Highness, even if we want to support Eternal Night, how can we resolve the problem of transportation?"

Even if Haines had enough resources to supply to Eternal Night

How should they transport the food to Eternal Night?

Because Eternal Night was connected to Haines, the plague of Eternal Night had already affected Haines, causing a large number of livestock to die.

If they drove the livestock to Eternal Night, the livestock would definitely be destroyed midway.

If they slaughtered the livestock in advance and used magic to preserve and freeze them before transporting them with vehicles, there would be another series of problems.

Not to mention, under the threat of the plague and hungry wolves, no one was willing to take the risk to head to Eternal Night.

Regarding that, Rayne's solution could be said to be simple and crude. "I can resolve the transportation problem myself."

The officials wanted to say something but hesitated. "Your Highness, we're not questioning you. However, how do you intend to resolve it yourself? What exactly is your..."

Rayne smiled. "Isn't it enough to use the spatial teleportation of a demigod?"

Teleportation?!

The officials were shocked.

"Your Highness, isn't isn't this a little too extravagant?"

How many times would it take to transport the food for 20,000 werewolves through spatial teleportation?

It had to be known that although the Imperial Guards could bring additional people or objects to teleport, their size was extremely limited.

Oh that's right

Suddenly, the officials recalled.

According to the grapevine His Highness Rayne who picked up the Starburst Sword was not only a demigod to begin with, he was also a peak demigod that was extremely strong!

Rayne said, "Not only transportation, but also cold and fresh preservation. I can resolve the plague prevention alone. I'm not asking you to help me. I just hope that you can give me and Eternal Night a chance Everyone should have seen how beautiful Her Majesty Hedwig was last night. However, that's definitely not her original appearance. For a proud Wolf Queen, she has to be determined to dress up to suit the aesthetic taste of the Haines people and kill her innate nature by retracting her fangs and claws to attend our banquet."

"She's already pleading with us with all her might."

"Her request should be answered."

Rayne was done.

Some people were convinced by the prince and nodded in agreement. Some people cursed internally if this perverted prince had taken a fancy to the Wolf Queen. Some people could not help but observe the Empress's expression.

Empress Cassius had a calm expression and looked at Rayne from time to time with endless gratification.

It was done

There was nothing else to say.

The Empress had already cast her vote silently.

Under the premise that Prince Rayne possessed the Starburst Sword, he was an outstanding demigod to begin with. Not only could he support Eternal Night, he could even kill it alone when it lost control.

From the beginning to the end, everything would be handled by the prince alone.

What difference did it make whether the officials agreed or not?

Without a doubt

They had no reason to stop the prince.

At that moment, Archduke Norman looked at the Empress and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, do you think what His Highness said makes sense?"

The Empress nodded with a smile.

Archduke Norman was delighted and asked, "In that case His Highness is the future Emperor of Haines. Do you think we should give him a chance to train freely?"

Empress Cassius looked at her son gently before announcing the final answer to the officials.

"Rayne, I'll leave everything to you."

The discussion was over.

Haines would support Eternal Night.

On the other side, the Wolf Queen's tense body finally relaxed. She collapsed on the sofa and heaved a sigh of relief. The expression on her face was so agitated that she seemed like she was about to cry.

"Leader, what are you"

When the Wolf Throat saw that, he could not help but feel excited. "Could it be that the Empress of Haines has decided to help us?!"

The Wolf Queen nodded vigorously.

The Wolf Throat was overjoyed and asked excitedly, "Who is it? Leader, who was the one who spoke up for us and changed the Empress's mind?!"

The Wolf Queen gestured excitedly.

"A very good looking young human with beautiful eyes"

The Wolf Throat was stunned for two seconds before reacting.

"Are you referring to His Highness Rayne? I see. Was His Highness Rayne the one who saved our country?!"

The Wolf Queen nodded vigorously once more.

Rayne Haines.

The Wolf Queen rubbed her eyes and closed them, recalling her chance encounter with the prince last night.

She memorized the name and appearance of her benefactor.
