Skeleton King

The walls of the city that never sleeps shot a rain of arrows burning with fire magic at them.After losing magic, the eyesight of the mages was greatly weakened. Fortunately, the sword masters of the magic island had a good understanding of magic, and soon some sword masters judged, "The city that never sleeps is not within the range of the forbidden magic circle. This forbidden magic circle is aimed at Only outside the city."

That is their area.

The battlefield suddenly became silent, and they heard Alter's voice, "Fight for the Skeleton King!" This was the first time Alter shouted on the battlefield, and the knights of the Nightless City Knights raised their spears and swords in response he.

Alter looked at the golden lion flag of the Finger Empire fluttering on the battlefield, and thought of the humiliating experience when they were controlled by the Forbidden Magic Circle that was suddenly opened in the Palace of Finger.The king worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the king humiliates his ministers to death.He is still alive, just to return all the things they added to His Highness.

Alter wanted to ask them, how does it feel to repay the other's way?

The situation of the white pieces on the chessboard is very good.

This is rare in the game between Ace and General Arnold, and Ace couldn't help but feel happy.But Ace's good mood didn't last long, the heavy armor fell down with sunspots, and the king was photographed.

The "general" on the chessboard looked at Ace together with General Arnold, "Your Highness, no matter what the situation in the Twin Cities is, as long as you are trapped here, we can't even reach a draw."

Ace stared at the chess game, speechless.

General Arnold looked at the wall of the secret room, as if he could see the scenery outside through the secret room, he said: "The sun is setting. The battle situation in the city that never sleeps should also come to an end. Your Highness, we may be able to get a temporary victory, but it will definitely be It's a protracted battle. Whether it's the Twin Cities and Magic Island, the two empires, or our plane and the small plane. I hope His Highness will come out soon and preside over the battle."

Staring at the board, Ace solved the checkmate with the white queen.Seeing this, General Arnold continued to play chess with Ace.After dozens of rounds, King Ace changed positions, reversing the situation on the board.

Ace waited for a while, but General Arnold didn't move. He looked up suspiciously, "What?"

General Arnold said: "Your Highness, there is no need to play anymore, this is a draw."

Ace naturally didn't insist on playing again, he said lightly: "I know, I will try my best to get out of here."

It's wartime, and Ace has to think about the Twin Cities even if he doesn't think about himself.When the king is used by the magic island to sacrifice the flag, he will really be infamous for thousands of years, and the Twin Cities will be engraved on the pillar of shame together with him.

Although the Twin Cities have already laid a net in the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire, as long as Ace leaves the range where the star map is located, even if he is still handcuffed with star chains, they can take Ace away.But Ace also prepared for the worst.If an accident happens to Ace, the Twin Cities can continue to operate normally without Ace.

General Arnold sighed: "There is one more thing that makes me feel difficult to decide."

Ace listened carefully.

"In the crisis of the city that never sleeps, Alter can only stop the magician's forbidden spell by opening the secret door we left behind and putting the outside of the city in the magic-forbidden area. The forbidden magic circle can only affect the magician, and the magician sent by the magic island There are still 8 sword masters, and they still need to rely on the walls of the city that never sleeps to stop them. But..." General Arnold's attitude rarely hesitated.

Of course Ace understood General Arnold's concerns.

The city walls of the city that never sleeps are built by Angela with alchemy materials. In order for the walls to protect the city that never sleeps for a longer period of time, their best way is to let Angela constantly repair the city walls between the sieges of the holy ranks of the magic island.

But if this is the case, Angela's existence will definitely become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the magic island sword master.Even if someone personally protects Angela, it is difficult to guarantee that no accident will happen.

They'll put Angela on a tightrope over a cliff.If she is not careful, she will be doomed.

General Arnold watched that innocent, beautiful girl grow into an excellent necromancer and alchemist with his own eyes, and at this time he wanted to send her into a deadly game, so he naturally had mixed feelings in his heart.

The superior should be absolutely calm and rational. General Arnold understands this truth very well, but when things come to an end, how can he be better than others?Fortunately, General Arnold didn't have to make the final call.

What General Arnold didn't expect was that Ace didn't hesitate about it.

He said: "Send Angela back to Evernight City. Don't let her go back to Evernight City until our war with Magic Island is over. There are still some star potions in Bill's laboratory, and take them all to the Lich Lord Ingersoll , ask him to help in the city that never sleeps. In the dead world, Lord Ingersoll, the Lich, has the highest attainment in formations. He can better control the magic circle that protects the city that never sleeps. He can make up for the loss caused by Angela's absence as much as possible. .”

General Arnold said: "Bill has also dabbled in alchemy. If necessary, let him go out of the city to repair the city wall?"

Although General Arnold was a little surprised by Ace's decisiveness, it was also the result he wanted. Naturally, he would not have any objections, and quickly came up with a countermeasure and found a candidate to replace Angela.

Ace nodded in agreement.

Only Ace understands that his choice is not just for Angela.

If Angelica knew about Ace's decision to put Angela in such a dangerous situation, even if it was Angela's consent.

Angelica would only feel that it was Ace's responsibility.

If Angelica knew her sister was irreversibly hurt, she would show Ace why she got the title Blue Rose.Roses are beautiful and thorny.

Angelica's going to Prince Nishimoto is a double-edged sword for Ace and the others.At the most critical moment, Angelica will become their trump card, but at the same time, she also has too many secrets about Ace and the others.

Whether this sword will stab at Prince Nishimoto in the end, or it will attack Ace and the others, depends not on how many chips they have in their hands or how many hole cards they have left, but...

Angelika pursues power persistently, because she reads people's hearts prematurely. She knows that only when she becomes a more useful person and has greater value to Ace, Ace will do his best to protect Angela.

Ace may be a good master. He has a good attitude towards the maids and waiters around him. He found that Angela has a talent for magic and taught her with all his heart.But Ace is not a philanthropist. He trained Angela, asked her to learn alchemy, and spent more money on her than training ordinary magicians, so that Angela would help him and repay him in the future.

Angela naturally understood that she was also ready to dedicate her life to His Highness and the Twin Cities when necessary.

But Angelica didn't want her sister to face a life-and-death crisis, even if this was the path that all strong men must go through, she just wanted her sister to grow up carefree, leaving her no matter whether it was in this world or the dead world. piece of pure land.

She revealed her weakness to Ace early, which is equivalent to telling Ace that the young master doesn't need to worry about me, I have weaknesses, and I have a fatal handle in the young master's hands, so the young master can use me with confidence.

Therefore, when he was in Georgia Province, Nuo Ou suggested several times not to let Angelica know too many of their secrets.Ace told Nou it's okay.

Angelica is too perfect. Although she is not beautiful enough, her personal strength is not strong enough, and her family background is not high enough, Nuoou can find many people with those advantages.Only Angelica, who has not made any mistakes in more than ten years, can find out the preferences of the visiting nobles and analyze their personalities with just a few words.Nuo Ou sometimes felt that such a woman was scary.

When Angela became a necromancer and Ace completely conquered the dead world, Angela's fate was firmly tied to Ace.If something happens to Ace, it is impossible for someone to shelter Angela like him.Angela has been protected too well and kept in the greenhouse for too long, she has lost the ability to face the wind and rain alone.

Angela's life had already been planned by Angelica, and Ace quietly followed Angelica's expectations to take care of Angela.

This is a plane where force and power are paramount.No matter how smart Angelica is, no matter how penetrating people are, she doesn't have enough background, and she doesn't have amazing force.She can only be a dodder flower, attached to the strong, silently invading the host, and gaining more powerful energy.

Ace will never underestimate Angelica. Even if Angelica dies, she will make arrangements for Angela.When she decided to "foster" her younger sister, the deadline she set was forever.

So, Ace is not surprised that Angelica would accept Prince Nishimoto, who is both a Juggernaut and the heir apparent of the Pansy Empire.He is the best choice.Ace was helpless, but he couldn't object.

Angelika is a free individual. She insists on protecting the people she wants to protect in her own way, instead of pinning on Ace's character and commitment.

Ace never had an open and honest conversation with Angelica.Ace sometimes wanted to ask her, why didn't she tell Angela about this?Why not let Angela choose her own life?She may just want to be an ordinary little maid, and she can be happy for several days with a beautiful dress, simple and ordinary happiness.

But such an ordinary person will never be able to dominate his own life.Just like when Mrs. Caroline put them next to Ace, they were common maids arranged by noble mothers to enlighten their sons.They don't have the right to say "no".

Ace would not take the initiative to tell Angela, at most he would only remind her.Angela is the best alchemist in Evernight City, but Angelica can play a more important role in the current situation, which is her value.In the face of the fate of more people, Ace will respect Angelika's will, not as his maid, but as his partner.

Ace silently accepted the trading rules set by Angelica.

After confirming Angelika's influence in the imperial capital, Ace gave Angela the legendary staff Sigh of the Undead, which Angela was not entitled to, to help her practice; when Angela was needed in the city that never sleeps, he released her safe place.

Ace would never put Angela in danger.

Everyone will only think that he is the little maid who takes pity on him and grows up with him.Angela thought the same way.

……

The chessboard has disappeared into the cellar, and General Arnold has also got the answer he wanted and returned to Evernight City.This chess game was turned into a draw by them, but the real chess game made by several planes was far from the time to announce the winner.

At this time, the door of Esmee's room was slowly opened after two days.

Only that person will visit here without going through the gate of the dead world.

Nou sat across from Ace as usual, as if nothing had happened between them.Two days ago, because Ace learned that the magic island was going to attack the city that never sleeps, he asked Nou to help him leave here, but Nou refused.Nou's original words, "Magic Island sent 25 holy ranks to the city that never sleeps, the difference is not big if there is you or not in the city that never sleeps." Ace was so angry that he fell on his back.

He didn't talk to Nuoou all night.

Ace didn't know what Prince Xiben had, which made Nuoou so taboo.However, the Twin Cities are now at war, and Ace is still staying in the cellar of the Duke Green's mansion, which is really unreasonable.

Although Ace is not a holy mage like the owner of the magic island, he can decide the battle situation by himself, but with him and without him, the momentum of the Twin Cities is very different.

Neither Ace nor Nou could convince the other, and neither of them had a tit-for-tat personality, so they fell into a worse situation.They had a cold war.

It was Nou who took the initiative to speak, and Nou's voice was also a bit novel. The battle situation in the Territory of Chaos far exceeded his expectations.

Nou said: "This is good news, at least for you. The Lord of Chaos wiped out all the Knights in the Eiffel Province of the Finger Empire, and only a few slipped through the net. Their numbers seem to be cancelled. Two of the holy rank powerhouses sent by the magic island were captured because of the backlash from the forbidden magic circle. Wanted to stay there.

The Empire's Royal Guard Knights simply went on an outing, and their injuries were worse than the second long-distance cross-country.Of course, it is due to Captain Sykes Richter. It is said that his silver fighting spirit turned into 3000 anemones, protecting all the knights of the Royal Guards.After this war, he was also unable to fight for a short time due to exhaustion of fighting spirit. "

"People from the Finger Empire said that he was in collusion with the Lord of Chaos." Nou squinted at Ace and said, "Of course, I also think this is true. If only the Sykes Richter regiment this time Head to the Territory of Chaos, I suspect that he won't let anyone kill even a rabbit in your territory. However, Captain Sykes Richter's popularity in Magic Island may also be because he has a Good father, everyone in Enchanted Island thinks the Finger Empire is a conspiracy theory.

In the battle plan, the Knights of the Royal Guards were only holding the line. They didn't expect the Territory of Chaos' resistance to be so tenacious. Everyone wanted to establish an incomparable feat and leave a strong mark in history.Everyone is striving to be a pioneer, even though those pioneers are now dead.It seems that this incident cannot be blamed on the Empire's Royal Guard Knights or Captain Sykes Richter. "

This is already the best ending Ace can imagine.

But as long as the magic island's holy rank powerhouses are not dead, this war will not be completely over.
