Adam froze for a moment, he never seemed to have thought about this question.
He thought about it seriously, and then slowly said, "It is because too many people want to expand the territory that this continent has become chaotic. Defeat them all and end all this chaos!"
Evelyn looked at Adam, as if trying to see through his heart.
And Adam's eyes were extremely pure, without the slightest dodge.
"Do you know why those people wanted to kill me?"
Evelyn suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Adam also had a strange look on his face when he heard the words, "I thought at first they wanted to kidnap you for a ransom or something, but then I found out that they only wanted to kill you. Are they from the enemy country?"
A wry smile appeared on Evelyn's face, "You may not believe it, but they killed me to end the war."
Adam asked in bewilderment, "What do you mean?"
Evelyn said slowly, "You should have guessed my identity, my full name is Evelyn Robert, my father is King Robert II of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, and my mother is the princess of the Kingdom of Tia …”
As Evelyn said, Adam just nodded slightly when he heard the words, as if he was not surprised by Evelyn's identity at all.
Under Evelyn's narration, Adam also quickly figured out the whole story.
Five years ago, a young man named Ares came to the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
He has the strength of the seventh level and possesses extraordinary wisdom. When he was in the capital, he went directly to the palace to propose marriage to King Robert II, asking to marry Princess Evelyn.
A seventh-order epic has a pivotal position in the Western Fantasy world. Even the lord of a country dare not lose face, and his status is also worthy of a princess.
Although Evelyn was only 15 years old at the time, her beauty was well known in the central part of Ogg Continent.
Countless dignitaries and kings and princes from neighboring countries wanted to marry her, but King Robert and his wife loved their daughter very much, and they never agreed on the grounds that the daughter was still young.
But Ares promised Robert that as long as the princess is married to him, he is willing to help the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj expand its territories within three years, at least twice the territory of the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
So Robert II put forward a request to ask Ares to double the territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj first, and Evelyn agreed before considering this matter.
The area of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj is not big or small, roughly the size of half a province in the real world.
But the kingdoms around him are far more powerful than the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, and there are also many powerful superhumans sitting in the town.
Originally thought that Ares would reject this harsh condition, but he didn't expect the other party to agree immediately.
What happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. Within two years, Ares continued to lead troops to expeditions, winning every time.
The opponents of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, whether it is a confrontation between the two armies, or a contest of the strength of the extraordinary, are not the opponents of Ares.
Two kingdoms in the surrounding countries were destroyed successively, and Ares doubled the territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj as promised.
Robert II and his wife were naturally very happy, let Ares enter the palace to have an audience, and asked Evelyn, who was 17 years old at the time, if she would like to marry Iris.
But Evelyn refused at the time, jokingly saying that unless Ares quadruples the current territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, she would consider it, and only consider it.
Evelyn was just a child at the time, and she said it casually without thinking at all.
The faces of Robert II and his wife who were present all changed, lest these words would offend Ares.
Unexpectedly, Ares agreed immediately, and then turned and left the palace with a big smile.
After Ares left the palace, he led his troops out again, and he was invincible wherever he went.
In less than half a year, the territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj doubled.
876 - No future
At this time, Ares was also known as the God of War, and the surrounding countries feared Ares like a tiger.
They sent money and beauties, trying to bribe Ares so that he would not help the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
But Ares accepted all the money and beauties, but they fought as they should, which scared the kings around Ahn'Qiraj to fear every day, and at the same time hated the outspoken Princess Evelyn.
People from other countries spent money to bribe high-level officials in the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, intending to use discord to make Robert II no longer believe in Ares.
At this time, Robert II's mentality has actually changed. After too many unreasonable victories, it has brought great fear.
Everyone realized that Ares was absolutely extraordinary, because after the enemy country saw that they could not buy Ares, they also spent their money to invite a seventh-level transcendent, but they were not his opponents.
Moreover, Ares is advancing all the way outside. Although more and more territories have been conquered, the local nobles and lords only recognize Ares and do not listen to any orders from Robert II at all.
What's even more frightening is that the generals and soldiers who were brought out by Ares only obeyed his orders.
At this time, Robert II was shocked to find that the army he could control was limited to the capital, and government orders could not leave the capital.
At this moment, Robert II finally realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly secretly sent Evelyn to the kingdom of Tia in the neighboring country.
At the same time, Robert II sent people to investigate the origin of the mysterious Ares.
But this person is completely as if he fell from the sky, and there is no trace of his existence.
Robert II even sent people to other continents in the Western Fantasy world to inquire, and no one had heard of Ares.
At this time, the king was even more frightened. A transcendent of unknown origin obviously wanted to occupy his kingdom now.
But unexpectedly, Ares is not interested in money or beautiful women, and seems to only like Princess Evelyn.
He sent all the property obtained from the conquest, as well as the property used by other countries to buy him, to the capital, and also beheaded the subordinates who persuaded him to return to the country to drive Robert II down and become the king himself.
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in Ogg Continent. In the situation of melee between all parties, whoever holds the military power, who holds a stronger force, can dismount the king and sit in that position by himself.
But Ares has no interest in the throne at all, and just wants to ask to marry Princess Evelyn.
He didn't even care about Robert II sending Evelyn away, because he knew that the monk could not escape the temple, and as long as Robert II and his wife were under control, Evelyn would not be able to escape.
It is also very simple to control the king and his wife, there is no need to threaten or imprison them by force, just give them inexhaustible glory and wealth.
At that time, even if they were driven away, they would not be willing.
This is also the biggest reason why Ares has been fighting outside and not returning to the capital.
And Evelyn has stayed in the Kingdom of Tia for three years, and knows that Ares has continued to expand the territory in the past few years, and has expanded the territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj by three times.
During this process, countless families were ruined and displaced, which made the grown-up Evelyn extremely uncomfortable.
Her mentality at this time is different from that of a few years ago, and she blames those disasters on her own head.
So Evelyn took the initiative to contact Ares and asked him to stop the foreign conquest, and then married him.
This was originally a happy ending. Whether it was the Robert II couple or Ares, everyone got what they wanted.
