Skeleton King

The brown eyes reflect the heir to the most powerful family in the empire—he half kneels on the grass, like an ordinary young man in love, as if they were born equal.

"Angelica, the daughter of the farmer Fifell in the village of Bad Soden, is now the maid of the Duke Green's mansion." Angelica lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.

Angelica sighed in her heart, Prince Nishimoto must have misunderstood.Because of alchemy, Angela is much richer than most magicians. She has a lot of gold coins, but she can't spend them, so she is keen to buy clothes for her sister.Ace said it was Angela's wish, and the Duke of Green and Miss Bernadette didn't care about it, so Angelica just found plain clothes.

But Prince Nishimoto...

When Angelica raised her head, she didn't miss the astonishment in Prince Nishimoto's eyes.

"It's not easy to go from a farmer to the Duke's mansion to be a maid." Prince Xiben didn't leave with a cold face, nor did he show the slightest disdain, but was curious about Angelica's past.Angelica blinked, and she froze for a rare moment. Prince Xiben found it funny when he saw that the calm girl became active, but he was smart enough not to show it, "Would you like to tell me about your time in the village?" ?"

Angelica hesitated for a while, and said: "Batter Soden is a very ordinary village, it's just a little bigger, there are streets, shops, and a market every month, when the time comes, people from nearby villages will come ..."

……

dead world.

General Arnold: "So, another mission is going to the Finger Empire?"

Ace rested his chin in his hand, as if he had something difficult to decide, and he just responded to General Arnold's words.

During the day, a sixth-level monster appeared in the mission's resident, so of course it didn't hide it from Ace.Thinking that Bernadette was nearby, Ace went to see it, but the Blazing Tiger followed Prince Xiben—on the edge of Xingyue Lake, Prince Xiben contracted the Blazing Tiger and saved it.To be able to contract a level-[-] dying monster, and it was a monster of noble blood like the Flaming Tiger, Prince Nishimoto had at least level-[-] strength.

Although this matter has not been spread yet, the improvement of Prince Xiben's own strength will inevitably make more fools in the imperial capital fall to him.Prince Xiben didn't improve his strength hastily. He originally concealed it in every possible way, and now he left an excuse for the contract with the Flame Tiger.Ace thought of the way Prince Xiben looked at Angelica, and when returning to the Duke of Green, Angelica told Ace that he no longer had to worry about Prince Xiben proposing marriage to Princess Bernadette, which gave him a headache.

Ace didn't listen to what General Arnold said, but said to Angela who was fiddling with a sword behind General Arnold: "Angela, do you want to rest for a few days?"

Angela: "But Evernight City has so many swords that need to be forged."

Ace looked dissatisfiedly at Angela, who was fishing here. She stayed in Evernight City all the time, and how efficient she could be.

Ace said without blushing, "Angelica misses you."

Angela stood up loudly, "Then I'll go and stay with my sister." Then she ran away, "I bought a lot of things for my sister recently, and I want to take them to her." After Angela ran away, she The sound is almost inaudible.

Angelica was not affected at all by Prince Nishimoto's pursuit. When the mission was stationed, she still helped Bernadette change her clothes for the dinner as usual.After returning to Duke Green's mansion, she discussed tomorrow's menu with Bill.

Ace couldn't see Angelica's thoughts at all.Fortunately, he still has a trump card in his hand. Looking at the direction Angela was going away, Ace couldn't believe that Angelika still didn't let go in front of Angela.

It wasn't until then that the stone in Ace's heart was let go, and he began to discuss matters with General Arnold again, "What did your lord just say?"

General Arnold was not angry at Ace's absent-mindedness, "Your Highness must be prepared to go to the Finger Empire."

Ace was puzzled: "Go to the Finger Empire? But I'm not a member of the mission. I think I'll leave the imperial capital when spring begins."

"According to the information we have collected." Since Ace met the Eternal Night Knights in the wilderness, General Arnold has paid attention to collecting information from the undead who just appeared in the dead world. "Before the monarchs of the two empires succeed, They will follow the mission to the other side's imperial capital."

Ace was slightly stunned. There had never been such a saying in the imperial capital, but he recalled the "Pansy Empire Calendar", and most princes would indeed have such an experience, "This is it?"

General Arnold: "The rules set by the Magic Island. It is said that the monarchs of the two empires will understand the value of peace through envoys." Of course, neither Ace nor General Arnold would believe this nonsense.

But in any case, in the past few hundred years, the two empires have basically implemented this regulation. "So, when Ludwig IV first came to the throne, he quietly left the Pansy Empire under the guise of Queen Celia." General Arnold said.Ludwig IV ascended the throne in a hurry, and the crown prince has not been a few days, let alone have the opportunity to go on a mission.

Ace: "You mean, His Majesty may pave the way for me?"

General Arnold remained silent, acquiescing to this statement.

Ace: "I don't think so. We haven't even met since I arrived in the Imperial Capital." This is not a sign of seriousness.

General Arnold: "If Your Highness has just arrived in the imperial capital, Ludwig IV will announce it to the world. Will Your Highness be happy?" Ace shook his head, of course he didn't like it.

General Arnold: "It might be a protection."

Ace has the ability to know the whole story, "You mean, the imperial capital may not be completely under the control of His Majesty? But after His Majesty ascended the throne, the royal power has been concentrated like never before. This should not be the case." His Majesty Ludwig IV was in the early days of his enthronement It was very difficult, and it could even be said that it was because of Queen Celia's soft food and the large amount of gold coins supported by the queen's family that His Majesty Ludwig IV was able to secure his throne.

His Majesty Ludwig IV is so difficult because he has no roots in the imperial capital and is not loyal to his family, which is a fatal flaw.But after His Majesty Ludwig IV took the throne firmly, this became an advantage again. He could make drastic reforms and gather the rights of the royal family.And because of the chaos of the kings, many princes had no successors, and these fiefdoms were taken back to the imperial capital.

This is the most prosperous time for the empire in the past 300 years. No wonder Prince Xiben is eyeing the land on the other side of the Prin Mountains.

General Arnold: "It's just my opinion."

When force cannot break everything, political choices become particularly important.

General Arnold said: "Does anyone else know the identity of His Highness?"

Ace remembered the first time he came back from the dead world, the pansy that Angelica drew on the white paper.Ace: "No, I never told anyone."

General Arnold nodded, "This is our advantage. If Ludwig IV wants to push His Highness, he will not expose His Highness at this time. If anyone else finds out, send him to Eternal Night City. "The only ones who can survive in Eternal Night City are real undead, except for necromancers, like Angela, and people from the holy ranks, like Magic Island.

"If His Highness wants to go to the Finger Empire, there must be enough force to protect His Highness." General Arnold said.Because of Ace's identity, he not only has to guard against the Finger Empire, but also the people of the mission.

Ace: "I have Bill with me."

"Bill will return to Eternal Night City from time to time to make star potions. If His Highness is in danger at this time, what should we do?" General Arnold said: "Our forces have not yet reached the east of the dead world, so it is impossible to support His Highness."

Ace: "So, you have an idea?"

Ace and General Arnold stood on the battlements of Devil May Cry City. General Arnold looked to the north, and Ace followed his line of sight. Among the endless smog, was the center of the entire dead world—Center City.

General Arnold: "The teleportation array. The central city has a teleportation array that connects the entire dead world." With the teleportation array, the skeleton army in Evernight City can appear anywhere in the dead world instantly.

However, the central city is the sphere of influence of the magic island, and it is their only entrance to the dead world. "Now is not the time for us to confront the magic island." Ace said.He's not afraid to face enemies, but he doesn't want to make enemies pointlessly either.Ace doesn't think that through the transaction, they can get the right to use the teleportation array.

General Arnold said: "Your Highness, in order to truly conquer the dead world, in addition to having an invincible army, you must also have supreme prestige. Reagan City, Bacon City, Devil May Cry City, capturing these cities will definitely prove the strength of the Knights of Eternal Night." Powerful, but if His Highness wants to become the king of the dead world, he must let the land of the dead world belong to the undead, and do what other liches cannot do."

Ace: "But I'm not an undead either. I don't belong to the undead either."

General Arnold: "Your Highness is the heir to the Skeleton King. This is the best status. The undead have been looking forward to it for a long time, looking forward to regaining the glory of the past. When the great Skeleton King is here, no one in this world dares to appear in the world of the dead. "

There is a cold wind blowing.

Whether a person is alive or dead, only those with sufficient strength can truly control their own destiny.Retreating and waiting are definitely not things the strong will do.

"Then call the army." Ace said.

On the sand table of the Dead Realm, the most extensive is the Necromancer Sea, and the tallest is the Central City. No matter how many kings or liches have appeared in the Dead Realm, it will always stand there, unchanged from time immemorial.

Ace: "Tell the undead creatures in Central City. We only expel people who do not belong to the undead world, and will not harm other undead creatures."

The central city also has a small sea of ​​dead spirits, which is different from other small seas of dead spirits. This small sea of ​​dead spirits is located inside the central city, and it is a sea within the city.

"We will not touch the wealth of all undead creatures, as long as they do not resist or take up weapons. Whether it is the small undead sea or their soul crystals, we will not touch them."

Since the people of Magic Island like the dead world so much, they should stay here forever.

"The only people we're going to kill are the people of Magic Island, and when they die, they can really have it all."

In the entire world of the dead, General Arnold was dissatisfied with the many undead creatures on the magic island.

"Issued the letter of war, and one month later, the Eternal Night Knights came to the central city. All the skeleton knights participating in the battle belong to the Eternal Night City, and they can share the spoils of this time."

The four big cities headed by Eternal Night City and countless small cities have already signed contracts with millions of skeleton soldiers.

"In the name of me, the lord of Eternal Night City, I issue a summons order, and I will form a new knight order."
