Four Hundred Years of Grudges (4)
Seeing the scene before them, the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister took a few steps back in panic, and then they lost their footing and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you... you...(the Prime Minister)"
Yanimus smiled at the speechless prime minister and then said, "Prime Minister, do you think there is a better strategy than this one for our current situation?"
"Your Majesty, although we are currently at a disadvantage, you cannot... (Defense Minister)"
"Heh! You guys don't actually think I'm going to detonate them, do you? (Yanimus)"
"Isn't that what you were planning, Prime Minister?"
Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, Yanimus suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Ha ha"
"Ha ha"
Just as the two prime ministers were terrified by the commotion the king had caused, the air suddenly fell silent, and then Yanimus's cold voice reached their ears.
"Hmph! You two shouldn't forget that I am the king of Stellara. If they are detonated, I will be the one who suffers the most, not those guys outside."
"Then... you...(Defense Minister)"
"Although I won't detonate them, I can use them to repel those uninvited guests outside the city! (Yanimus)"
"Does His Majesty mean... intimidation?" (Prime Minister)
"Heh! If intimidation doesn't work, then I'm sorry, I'll have no choice but to detonate it!" (Yanimus's inner thoughts)
After stating his true thoughts in his mind, Yanimus calmly said, "Of course!"
Upon hearing the answer they had hoped for appear in the air, the two prime ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as the two were about to praise His Majesty the King's wisdom, His Majesty the King spoke first, saying, "Prime Minister, although there is already a lot of Stellara Stone here, it is probably not enough to scare away Erus's army. So I need you to find a way to transport some more Stellara Stone over."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will do our utmost to accomplish this task!" (Prime Minister, Defense Minister)
"Laugh"
Sordil, which was flying at high speed, suddenly braked and hovered in mid-air. Since Her Highness the Queen was towing the vehicle, which was not equipped with an engine, it could not slow down or turn. As a result, the two vehicles collided without any unexpected incident due to inertia.
"Bang!"
Fortunately, the Queen was wearing a flight helmet made of Space Magic, so she wasn't injured after the rear-end collision. Otherwise, Old Suo would probably be on the Bridge of Helplessness, drinking soup with his great-grandfather. (As for the cause of Old Suo's death... hehe! I won't say, you can all guess, right?)
However, this matter doesn't end there. After all, besides the physical body, there's another part of the human body that can be injured! (Heh! If Old Suo could enter Her Majesty Irene's body like Igneel and the others, he'd probably be ashes by now.)
"Sordil, you bastard, can't you just stop already?"
After successfully navigating the Irene hurricane, the reckless, foolish, and idiotic Sother said tremblingly, "Your Her Majesty the Queen, I'm so sorry! I just..."
Before the idiot So could finish speaking, the second hurricane Irene, swept in.
"Sorry? Do you think this matter can be resolved with just an apology?"
"Gulp"
Seeing the red comma on Her Majesty the Queen's forehead, Sordil, still somewhat self-aware, silently took out a washboard that looked almost like a durian shell and obediently knelt on it. (PS: This is a novel contraption developed by Her Majesty Irene, combining the advantages of a durian and a washboard. However, its power is far more than just the sum of its parts. Of course, the washboard used to punish Her Majesty Sordil is made of steel, and it's special steel that Her Majesty Irene has enhanced with Augmented Magic.)
Seeing how self-aware this guy was, Her Majesty Irene's resentment dissipated considerably. However, there were still some things Her Highness the Queen had to say.
"Hmph! Ignoring advice and changing commanders at the last minute is one thing! The matter is urgent, and you're dragging me along in Huo Huo, that's another! But you actually disregarded my feelings and stopped the car abruptly. Are you trying to murder your own wife?"
"And you actually hung up on me! What are you trying to do? Rebel?" (I know it's illogical for the word "phone" to come out of Irene's mouth, but please bear with me for the sake of dramatic effect!)
"What's even worse is that you haven't sent me a single message after being gone for so long. Don't you know that this makes me worry?"
Faced with the Her Majesty the Queen's continuous attacks on his soul, Suo dared not utter a single word except for nodding in agreement and admitting his mistake.
Several minutes passed, and seeing that Her Majesty Irene's mood was gradually improving, Mou Su asked tremblingly, "Um... Your Her Majesty the Queen, could you please stop for a moment and let me say something?"
After glaring at the coward for a few seconds, the Her Majesty the Queen said impatiently, "Speak! Hurry up!"
"Your Her Majesty the Queen, could the public denunciation meeting about me be postponed? Yanimus is about to make his move!"
Hearing the cowardly Sue's words, Her Majesty the Queen angrily said, "You idiot, why didn't you say such important news sooner?"
"Because you didn't give me a chance to speak!" (Old Suo's inner thoughts)
Although both of them knew the reason, as a sensible young man, Old Suo naturally knew how to answer the big boss's question.
"I'm so sorry, Your Her Majesty the Queen. I was so blinded by greed that I forgot to tell you about this!"
"Alright, enough talk, let's go!" (Irene)
"Your Her Majesty the Queen, there's no need to go any further. Stellara's palace is just down here." (Old Suo)
Looking down at the scene below, Her Highness the Queen's brows furrowed slightly.
"How do we get in?" (Irene)
Upon hearing the Her Majesty the Queen's question, Sordil didn't waste any words. He simply stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him. The next second, a silver-gray tunnel appeared in front of the two of them.
"Your Her Majesty the Queen, once we pass through this tunnel, we can reach directly to the place where Yanimus stores the Stellara Stone."
After Old Suo finished speaking, Her Majesty the Queen nodded in satisfaction, then turned her gaze back to His Majesty the King's face.
Upon receiving his wife's signal, King So didn't hesitate and jumped into the tunnel to pave the way for His Her Highness the Queen.
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up, all of you!"
"If we are slow and delay His Majesty the King's plans, we will all be captured by the Erus people outside the city."
Hearing their leader's words, the soldiers who were moving the Stellara Stone worked even harder.
"Boss, why aren't we going to confront Erus's army? What are we doing here moving Stellara Stone?"
"Hey! You're all talk and no action, but you're good at spouting nonsense!"
"Boss, please tell us about it!"
Seeing the curious and envious looks in his subordinates' eyes, the leading officer said in a low voice, "Hehe! Since you're so eager to learn, I'll tell you what I have to say."
"Actually, this was all His Majesty's brilliant plan. This Stellara Stone..."
After the leading officer finished explaining the answer, the lazy subordinate nodded and said knowingly, "Oh! I see!"
"Bang!"
Just as the officer nodded smugly, a large amount of pink smoke suddenly burst from the lazy soldier's body, and then the smug officer and the soldiers in the hall all lay down.
"Heh! I never thought 'sleep' and Transformation Magic would be such a good match! (Old Suo)"
"Alright, stop being so vain, let's get rid of these people!" (Irene)
After receiving Her Majesty the Queen's order, the space transporter began his work.
A quarter of an hour later, there was nothing left in the hall except for the Stellara Stone scattered all over the floor.
Looking at the Stellara Stone that occupied nine-tenths of the hall, Her Majesty said worriedly, "You scoundrel, there are so many Stellara Stone here, and many of them are integrated with the ground. How can we move them away quietly?"
"Hehe! Your Her Majesty the Queen, have you forgotten? I'm Space Magic. Moving these things is a piece of cake!" (Old Suo)
"But where are we going to transport them?" (Irene)
"How about... we bring them back to our house and use them to decorate our yard?" (Old Suo)
After the villainous So finished speaking, Her Majesty the Queen circled the dazzling Stellara Stone, then shook her head and said, "This thing is quite beautiful, and it would be a good choice to decorate the courtyard. It's a pity that it's flammable and explosive, otherwise it would be perfect!"
"Hmm! That's true! (Old Suo)"
"Hey! We can chop them into small pieces and then use them to decorate the yard, wouldn't that eliminate the danger?" (Old Suo)
"Bang!"
No sooner had the idiot So finished speaking Her Majesty the Queen rewarded him with a takoyaki (octopus Maruko).
"Are you an idiot? We're in enemy territory right now, in danger of being exposed at any moment. We don't have time to deal with all this stuff!" (Irene)
After dealing with the single dragon horn on his head, the idiot So chuckled cheekily, "Hehe! Since Her Majesty the Queen thinks it can be used to decorate the courtyard, I'll set up an interdimensional Spatial Teleportation Array to store these things in the Spirit World for now. We'll retrieve them after we defeat Yanimus."
"Hmm! That's a good idea, let's do it that way!" (Irene)
"Understood!"
After saying this, Old Suo squatted down and began to inscribe the Teleportation Array.
"Buzz"
The moment the Teleportation Array array was completed, the floor of the hall suddenly turned red, and at the same time, a series of buzzing sounds came from the ceiling of the hall.
"Damn it! It's an alarm array!" (Old Suo)
"Damn it, the enemy has noticed us, we have to get out of here!"
"No! If we leave now, Yanimus will definitely detonate these Stellara Stone immediately. (Old Suo)"
"But if we stay here, we might not only fail to stop him, but we'll also get ourselves into trouble!" (Irene)
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to activate the second plan!" (Old Suo)
"A second plan? What second plan? (Irene)"
Old Suo did not answer Her Majesty the Queen's question, but instead directly constructed a silver-white halo under her feet.
"Irene, once you see Uncle Kaldiz, just tell him to activate the second plan. Uncle Kaldiz and his team will handle the rest."
Just as Irene was about to ask for more details, Silver-White Light appeared and sent her away from there.
