Skeleton King

The news that the city lord of Eternal Night City formed a knight order spread like the wind throughout the realm of the dead.

In the past few years, Eternal Night City, this newly built city, has created countless miracles in the dead world.The deeds of the City Lord of Eternal Night City are also extremely mysterious.There are many stories about his origin, how he obtained the allegiance of the Eternal Night Knights, and how he established the Eternal Night City.

No undead creature will doubt that he will leave a strong mark in the world of the dead.

The Eternal Night Knights refuse any undead creatures to join. The Bacon Knights and Reagan Knights are all old knights, and the Skeleton Knights have also been fixed.After the Devil May Cry Knights were disbanded, it was true that a new number was created, but the large number of skeleton soldiers in Eternal Night City were already gearing up, and the skeletons in the wilderness couldn't even squeeze through the gate of the training camp.

And now, the city lord of Eternal Night City personally formed the Knights, what does this mean?

direct line!This knight order will become the direct descendant of the city lord of Eternal Night City!

The undead creatures who are unmoved by the Devil May Cry Knights, the skeleton generals who live in seclusion in remote areas of the dead world, and all the undead who want to be famous in the dead world rushed to Devil May Cry City from every corner of the dead world.

They were either dissatisfied with the people on the magic island who reached out to the dead, or they wanted to make contributions under the necromancer who might become the skeleton king, or they wanted to seize the last chance to join the knights of the city lord of Eternal Night City.

All undead creatures know that if Eternal Night City defeats Central City, the Eternal Night City City Lord will become the closest person to the King of the Dead Realm after the Skeleton King.At that time, the position behind the City Lord of Eternal Night City will not be so easy to advance.

The king of the dead world will not be a victorious general, no matter how many undead lords the Lich can defeat, and how many years they have existed in the dead world, they will not be able to become the king of the dead world.Undead creatures recognize their strength and are willing to join them, but they will never kiss their toes and surrender at their feet.

The kings of the dead world will only be those who guard the darkness, and only those who resist the light.

And now, someone finally stood up.

……

Devil May Cry City, since the defeat of the Devil May Cry Knights, Ace and the others have occupied Devil May Cry City, and they will also discuss matters in the Lord's Mansion of Devil May Cry City.At this time, in the deliberation hall of the City Lord's Mansion, several skeleton knights were obeying General Arnold's order, and Reagan, the Lord of the Undead, and Bacon, the Lord of the Undead, stood beside them.

"We don't need so many skeleton knights. Your Highness doesn't intend to use them as consumables. You select 3000 skeleton knights from them. I don't care how many skeletons send out grudge attacks outside Devil May Cry City. I just want you to make sure that I can't see them." .” General Arnold meant to let the Eternal Night Knights clear the field.

Undead Lord Bacon: "Originally, we chose 10000 skeleton knights, and the elimination rate was 50 to 1. Among the eliminated undead creatures, there are still many complacent and traveled thousands of miles. They are naturally dissatisfied with letting them go back. It’s a measure, at least it’s not making trouble in Devil May Cry City.”

"Should we just step on our lower limit for them? If we don't set it now, how much more trouble will there be in the future?" General Arnold said: "Their treatment will be on par with the Knights of Eternal Night. It takes 10000 skeleton knights to choose every month. Do you offer the ghost coins issued? Do you offer their armor, swords and guns?"

Bacon, the undead lord, was a little dissatisfied with General Arnold's words before, but he shut up at the end.You know, Ace and General Arnold's biggest investment in the Knights of Eternal Night is to allow them to practice in the sea of ​​small dead spirits.In other cities, the small undead sea is the private property of the undead lord, even the contracted skeletons under him are not allowed to enter, let alone these skeleton knights who have no coercive means to control them.

However, Bacon, the undead lord, felt that Ace and General Arnold's approach could maximize the benefits.The longer the undead creatures practice in the small dead soul sea, the weaker the effect will be. Only by sending batches of skeleton knights in can the small dead soul sea be used to the greatest extent.However, how many undead lords with a small undead sea are willing to do so?

The undead lord Bacon looked at Ace, his eyes were full of exclamation and admiration.Ace is so young, but has such a heart, even if his methods are slightly flawed, they will become more and more smooth and impeccable with the experience of time.

His original choice was not wrong.

However, as a subordinate of the city lord of Eternal Night City, Reagan competed with him and General Arnold.

Reagan, the undead lord, took a step forward, "Jie Jie, Your Highness, can I invite the unselected skeletons to join my knight order?"

Ace said: "Isn't the Reagan Knights not short of skeleton knights?"

Undead Lord Reagan: "Jie Jie, the ones that are usually sent up are too weak. It is rare to have a good one, and you have to teach them alone. It will take too long for the skeleton knight."

"Okay." Ace thought for a while, and said, "I'll let those unselected skeletons wait in the square for a while, and you can pick them."

Ace looked at General Arnold again, "I remember that there are also Skull Knights recruiting outside Devil May Cry City. I also allow them to go to the square, but they need to pay ghost coins to enter."

General Arnold ordered several skeleton knights to do it, and the undead lord Reagan and the undead lord Bacon also withdrew.

In an instant, the conference hall became empty again, only Ace and General Arnold were there.General Arnold was indeed invincible in the war, but he was not proficient in government affairs.It was time to find an acting city lord for Zhucheng, and Ace, who also didn't want to take care of things, kept this matter in mind.

But now-

Ace's eyes saw Devil May Cry Forest through the layers of buildings in Devil May Cry City, as well as countless white Yin fires rising from the ground of Devil May Cry Forest.Ace's final assessment requirement was that the Skeleton Knight must rush out of Devil May Cry Forest.

Now, there are skeleton knights constantly rushing out of these Yin fires, and skeleton knights are constantly being melted in the Yin fires.

No soul fire escaped, and Hui Fei also dissipated between heaven and earth.

Whether it was the skeleton knight who passed the assessment or did not participate in the assessment, their empty eye sockets were burning with fear, awe, and madness.No undead creatures forced them to participate in the assessment, and Eternal Night City would always give undead creatures a chance to choose.

Some skeleton knights rushed out, some skeleton knights retreated, and some skeleton knights disappeared in Devil May Cry Forest.

In the conference hall far away from them, Ace said indifferently: "The number of 3000 has arrived."

As soon as Ace finished speaking, he and General Arnold disappeared into the conference hall at the same time, and then appeared on Devil May Cry Forest.The astrology doll has been damaged long ago, but Ace kept his black cloak attire. When he appeared above Devil May Cry Forest, all the skeletons recognized him.

Because standing behind Ace is General Arnold, only the Lord of Eternal Night City is qualified to let General Arnold follow him.

The 3000 skeleton knights of Ace's newly formed knight order got off the skeleton horse one after another and knelt down on one knee.And those timid skeleton knights who did not participate in the assessment stood at the edge of Devil May Cry Forest. They did not move at all. No matter how powerful the power behind the Lord of Eternal Night City is, he is not a lich, not the king they follow, and they do not need to surrender .

Ace didn't care about them, he looked at the bones kneeling in front of him, each skeleton knight was killed from hundreds of skeletons, each skeleton knight carried a powerful coercion, surrounded by countless dark elements .

Ace heard himself say, "Brave skeleton knights, welcome to Eternal Night City, I swear to you, there will be no light, no health, only endless death."

There seemed to be steps in the void, and Ace walked forward step by step, "We are never afraid, we cross countless planes, and nothing can knock us down forever."

"No matter how terrifying the Yinhuo is, it is just a vassal of the undead." Following Ace's words, the Yinhuo from Devil May Cry Forest gathered from all directions, and they all gathered in Ace's hands.The white Yinhuo is as cute as a toy ball.

"Death is terrible, but it is a slave of the undead." When Ace's voice fell, there were countless soul fires rising in Devil May Cry Forest, not Yin fire, nor any other lifeless fire, but soul fire.

The soul flames of the skeleton knights who died in the assessment just now appeared again.

General Arnold looked at Ace in horror, and gathered the dissipated soul fire, something that even the Lich could not do.

When Ace retrieved Yin Huo from Devil May Cry Forest, he had a sudden epiphany.

Ace's left-handed necromancer staff is dead, and the Hailan staff on his right is vital, just like the diagram of yin, fire, yang and fire is a cycle.The ultimate of life is death, and the ultimate of death is life.

When a living person loses his vitality, he dies.

When a dead person loses his vitality, he will be resurrected.

This is the profound meaning of the senior necromancer, to control life and death.

No wonder the empire once hunted down necromancers, their existence was too powerful and too weird.When Ace mastered the mysteries of life and death, he broke through to the seventh-level necromancer, and he even saw a farther way.

In fact, Ace is only half right about why the Empire is after the Necromancer.Since the existence of magicians, only two necromancers have appeared in the world of the dead.

Skeletron and him.

No one else has mastered the mysteries of life and death.It is even more impossible for living people to understand.

In Devil May Cry Forest, as far as Ace could see, all the skeletons knelt down at his feet, including those who temporarily quit the assessment and dismissed him, and those milky white undead who reappeared and had not had time to find the bones fell down on the ground.

As far as Ace could see, it was a vast expanse of whiteness.

"The most dangerous place in the dead world is called the Sea of ​​Dead Souls, and the most powerful knight order should also be named after it."

"From today onwards, you will belong to the Necromancer Knights."
