Chapter 875: Too Late
Ephraine looked at Adam in a daze, shook her head, with sadness in her eyes, "It's too late, I won't wait for you. Uncle Barton and them have already died because of me. If I refuse, there will be more people because of this. And die."
Adam fell silent. He could feel Ephraim's emotions. If he continued to exert pressure, it would only make the girl more miserable.
Adam laughed abruptly, "Then I will protect you and go back. As for the future, I will talk about it later!"
Ephraim looked at Adam, his eyes were still pure, Ephraim could not see any resentment or dissatisfaction from it, but only happiness and joy.
This man is simply optimistic and terrifying. It seems that even if he just stays with her, he will enjoy the pleasure of the moment, and he will not care about what will happen in the future.
Ephraim saw that the wound on her abdomen had been bandaged, but her body was a little weak and she couldn't move.
"Where is this place."
Ephraim didn't know what to say, and after a moment of silence, she finally asked.
"I don't know. I killed those guys and took you to this village, but it should be in the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj."
Adam grinned, "You should be hungry, I'll go ask the people in the village for something to eat."
Time flickered, and three days passed quickly. Although Evelyn and Adam's injuries did not heal, they did not affect their normal activities.
"We have to leave as soon as possible. Although I temporarily got rid of them, they are professional soldiers, and it is only a matter of time before they catch up."
Ephraim nodded, followed Adam silently and left the border village.
"What do you want to do in the future? Have you always been a mercenary?"
The two went to the nearest town, bought a carriage, and headed for the capital of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
When he was about to get up, Ephraim took the initiative to chat with Adam.
For the past three days, Evelyn has been in a very low mood because of the death of Patton and those guards.
In addition, I don't want to give Adam any hope, so sometimes at the end of the day, the two may not be able to say a few words.
And Adam also knew Ephron's mind and didn't bother her anymore.
"Of course not! I will create a legion of my own, expand territory and build my own country!"
When Adam heard Evelyn's question, he said it without even thinking.
It's just that when he speaks, a dignified and heroic aura emerges spontaneously, like a general who has truly commanded thousands of troops.
Others saw Adam say these words, and even said that little Anthony would sneer when he heard it.
But Ephraim didn't show any contempt or thought he was joking, but the sadness between her brows was even stronger.
"Why are you all thinking about opening up new territories and making achievements, then many, many people will die."
Adam was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have never thought about this issue.
He thought about it seriously before slowly opening his mouth and said, "It is precisely because there are too many people who want to expand the territory that this continent has become chaotic. I am not trying to make achievements, but to Defeat them all and end all this chaos!"
Ephraim looked at Adam, as if trying to see through his heart.
Adam's eyes were unusually pure, and he didn't dodge in the slightest.
"Do you know why those people wanted to kill me?"
Ephraim suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Adam also had a strange look on his face when he heard the words, "I initially thought they wanted to kidnap you for ransom or something, but then I found out that they only want to kill you. Are they people of an enemy country?"
A wry smile appeared on Ephron's face, "You may not believe that they killed me to end the war."
Adam looked stunned, "What do you mean?"
Ephraim said slowly, "You should have guessed my identity, my full name is Ephraim Robert, my father is King Robert II of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, and my mother is the princess of the Kingdom of Tia. ."
Adam, just as Ephron said, just nodded slightly when he heard the words, as if he was not surprised by Ephron's identity at all.
Under Ephraim's narration, Adam quickly figured out what happened.
Five years ago, a young man named Ares came to the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
He has the strength of the seventh rank and has extraordinary wisdom. When he was in the capital, he went directly to the palace to propose marriage to Robert II and asked to marry Princess Ephraim.
A seventh-order epic has a pivotal position in the Western Fantasy World. Even the lord of a country would not dare to lose face, and his status is worthy of a princess.
Although Ephraim was only fifteen years old at the time, her beauty was well known in the middle of the Org Continent.
Countless dignitaries and kings and princes of neighboring countries wanted to marry her, but King Robert and his wife loved this daughter very much, and they never agreed on the grounds that her daughter was still young.
But Ares promised Robert that as long as he married the princess to him, he would be willing to help the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj expand its territory within three years, at least double the territory of the kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
So Robert II made a request that Ares first doubled the territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, and Ephran agreed to consider this matter.
The area of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj is not too big, but not too small. It is 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 powerful supernatural beings.
Originally thought that Ares would reject this harsh condition, but unexpectedly the other party agreed.
What happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. Within two years, Ares continued to lead his troops on expeditions, winning every time.
The opponent of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, whether it is the confrontation between the two armies, or the contest of the power of the superhuman, is not the opponent of Ares.
Two kingdoms in the surrounding countries were destroyed one after another, and Ares doubled the territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj as promised.
Robert II and his wife were naturally very happy, they let Ares enter the palace for an audience, and they asked Ephraine, who was seventeen at the time, if she would like to marry Ares.
But at that time, Ephraim refused, but jokingly said that unless Ares quadrupled the current territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj, she would consider it, and only consider it.
Ephraim was just a child at the time, and when she said that casually, she had no brains at all.
The expressions of Robert II and his wife present changed, lest these words anger Ares.
Unexpectedly, Ares agreed with one bite, and then turned and left the palace with a big smile.
After Ares left the palace, he led his troops on the expedition again, and wherever he went, he was invincible.
In less than half a year, it doubled the territory of the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj.
