I will be crowned king

Seeing Thalia's gentle smile, the elf girl who was still able to remain calm turned tense, and a panic suddenly rose in her heart.

Is it really the right decision to cooperate with such a being?

The reason why she agreed to the conditions put forward by the Luen family in the first place, apart from the unfavorable situation for Louis, was that she was not afraid of Thalia - even if she was not sure of victory, it was still possible to protect Louis or even a sailing city. Did it.

But now it seems that the other party's appetite and even ambition are beyond her imagination... From ancient times to the present, she has never heard of any arrogant spell caster or elf blood descendant who would put his mind on the tomb of the three true gods. !

As if subconsciously, Freya took half a step back. Her extremely solemn eyes were completely scarlet, locked on the girl's every move.

Feeling the alert gaze behind her, Thalia didn't even pay attention to her thoughts. There was only the increasingly intense magical reaction in the distance in her emerald eyes.

As the shackles were broken, her...or His mood swings were becoming more and more intense and uncontrollable; she tried to regain her freedom, but was afraid because she was aware of herself and Freya, and tried to lure herself into within its territory.

What a cute little guy. If he was not born in the Land of Rest but in the old world controlled by the Ring of Order, he would have been eaten to the point where no bones were left.

Of course, if he was born in Clovis City, he might become his fiancé - provided that dear Anson did not appear in front of him.

Dear Anson... There was a hint of happiness in Thalia's eyes.

Once upon a time, I only regarded him as an "unexpected surprise" for retrieving Lisa August and eradicating Mace Honnard. I thought that his wild words at Lund Manor were just to avoid being attacked by Rune. The family only treats it as a means of getting rid of trouble.

Until the promises he made came true one after another.

From an exiled army, he became the de facto governor of Ice Dragon Fjord, and then intervened in the imperial colonial rebellion. With only about one-tenth of the territory and population, he controlled all the colonies - according to his arrangement, even Lu The En family is not an old god sect family with a long history. They can also become the rulers behind the scenes of the new world.

As for the real reason why the Rune family entered the Land of Rest, Thalia was sure that Anson didn't understand it, but he had always maintained a "subtle tacit understanding" with her.

What he should do, what he can do, what he and even his respected father want him to do... dear Anson knows very well where the "boundary" is and faithfully performs his duties.

Just like his loyalty to Sophia Franz and his belief in the Circle of Order.

boom----

The sound of the dome breaking exploded again, and night and day strangely overlapped each other at this moment, shrouding this small settlement. There should be screams of laughter and screams of pain but joy.

"Oh my, what an unpleasant child."

Under the glare of the sun and the moon, the girl with her little head tilted showed a helpless smile. Her long chestnut hair was raised in the wind without warning, revealing her scarlet pair:

"Since you are so unpleasant, I have no choice but to kill you."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, blazing flames rose up behind her; a golden-red barrier rose in the jungle of giant trees, surrounding the entire settlement in the center.

Just like the miracle of the gods dividing the sea, a "city on the sea of ​​fire" rose from the ground.

……………………

"boom--!"

There was another explosion, and before the colonist could raise the rifle in his hand, the expressionless head exploded into blood-red fireworks, and the straight and fallen body splashed with blood and smoke on the ground.

The girl holding the steam gun jumped forward suddenly, and while she was in the air, she turned around and drew her gun. With the left wheel four and two right, she blasted two natives who were charging towards her with hatchets.

In the blink of an eye, three more corpses appeared beside her.

But instead of being intimidating, such a scene even attracted more villagers to gather around her... countless figures carrying messy weapons, with desperate postures like flies attracted by carrion.

"Bang! Bang bang bang! Bang..."

The girl ran wildly and quickly pulled the trigger around. The steam gun in her hand showed a terrifying rate of fire comparable to that of a pipe organ. One after another, the villagers' heads were blown off, but then more figures came from the back row. They rushed forward in a swarm, even if they were accidentally injured by their "companions".

The corpse with its head and heart blown out fell in a pool of blood and kept twitching. Soon it stood up like a puppet, and the scattered fragments reunited and continued to move closer to the petite figure that was moving quickly.

Finally, the girl was cornered into a narrow farmhouse by the chasing villagers. Dozens and hundreds of figures rushed in like a tide of ants rushing toward their nest.

at this time……

"Lisa!"

"oh!"

A backhand shot opened a hole in the wall of the farmhouse, and the petite figure was directly picked out from the hole. He did not forget to throw a grenade to block the exit; the black and smoking cylinder drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and fell accurately. Entering over the heads of the crowd in the farmhouse.

"boom--!!!!"

With a roar, the small farmhouse turned into a clay airplane, ignited and rose into the sky with the sound of explosions.

The girl who was blown away by the air wave was firmly caught by a puff of cotton-like smoke, avoiding close contact with the ground.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and Anson, who was gradually re-condensing from the [Undead Mist] back to his human form, was playing with his pipe and standing in the center of the explosion.

Of course, one grenade alone cannot blow up the entire house, but if you cooperate with [Yanyujia] to close the radiation range of the explosion, and then use [Rising Fire] to increase the intensity of the flames during the explosion, then there is a chance. .

Anson, who was trying to remain calm, wiped the dust off his anonymous glasses, pursed his lips tightly and quickly calmed his breathing to restrain his physical discomfort.

From the time they escaped from Baker Mansion to now, the two of them still haven't left the entire settlement - not only because of the "villagers" who couldn't be killed no matter how hard they tried, but also because the entire village seemed to have no end at all, no matter where they were escaping. Neither can get close to the border.

Based on experience, Anson guessed that they were probably still under the magic of a certain black mage, spinning in the same place from beginning to end.

The effect of this magic is very strong. Otherwise, with the last blood of August in Lisa's body, the effect of ordinary black magic on her would be infinitely close to zero.

The best way to break the trap set by a black magician is to distract the other party's energy - but in their current state, it is obviously impossible to do this.

"Anson, hide!"

The girl's scream came, along with the sound of her raising a gun and pulling the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Almost at the same time that Anson turned sideways, three figures who had been within ten steps of him had their heads blown off at the same time; the exploded skull fragments scattered everywhere, along with gushing holes of blood in the bodies of several of his surrounding companions.

Looking at the figure who had fallen down from the headshot, Anson's headache became even worse.

Although the shackles of the entire settlement seemed to have been loosened due to the deaths of Baker and Nora, his "superpower" still had not recovered; without this important detection skill, he was almost exhausted and his reactions began to change. A lot slower.

Lisa on the side noticed something was not normal about him, and hurriedly trotted closer. She raised her head and cast a concerned look: "Anson..."

The moment the girl spoke, there was a sudden roar above her head.

"boom----!!!!"

With a thunderous bang, the blue sky... split open under the shocked gaze of the two people.

The bright silver crescent moon casts the dark shadow of night on the earth; the sun in the corners of the fragments is like the glass painting on the stained glass window of the church, leaving only a few corners.

Countless figures roared angrily under the sudden night, gathering from all directions; the two people who had been surrounded by a tidal wave of enemies were unaware of it and were still staring blankly at the "dark night" sky.

While they were still stunned, golden-red firelight suddenly came into view from the edge of the night.

Soon, a wall of fire that stood nearly fifty meters high suddenly rose, covering the entire settlement in the middle of the sea of ​​fire.

This is... The stunned Anson suddenly remembered the fireball that fell from the sky not long ago, and vaguely realized something.

"Anson!"

Lisa suddenly screamed, and the steam gun in her arms roared at the same time; amidst the darkness and screams, a long bloody hole was torn open:

"Over there, the exit of the village is directly ahead!"

Lisa grabbed Anson's clothes, just like a naughty sister pulling her reluctant brother to play in the park, and ran towards the exit; the steam gun in her hand roared non-stop, exploding a bunch of A mass of scarlet.

Looking at the life that was so close before his eyes, Ansen's expression was still extremely cold, without any hint of joy.

The entire "Baker Territory" is a huge prison, but this prison and all the restrictions and defense methods are not used to guard intruders like them, but to seal a certain being who is forced to be imprisoned here.

Therefore, the barrier was lifted, which of course gave them a chance to escape; but on the other hand, it also meant that the "jailers" no longer had to worry about appearances and could do whatever they wanted.

Thinking in the most favorable direction in time, the sealed "Lulu" has no ill intentions towards them and can maintain absolute neutrality; for those of them who let go of the prisoners, will the "jailer" allow them to leave alive or...

Kill them all? !

Anson very much hoped it would be the former, but his reason told him that it was most likely the latter.

And the scene before him also made his "prophecy" come true bit by bit: as the night fell, the appearance of the surrounding villagers began to gradually change, the clothes on their bodies became tattered and old, and the skin on their faces became... Pieces of decay, flesh and blood withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, teeth and hair continued to fall off, and eyes became darker and darker...

From a normal human being to a still-living corpse, and a corpse that had just died - it was once again verified that Phil Cressy was not lying.

Alas, Phil Cressey?

Anson looked stunned and suddenly looked behind him. There was nothing but piles of corpses rushing toward him and Lisa.

Only then did he remember that when he and Lisa escaped from the prayer room, it seemed that they really hadn't untied the guy... Couldn't he be dead?

There were still a steady stream of corpses coming towards the two of them. The densely packed figures were like savage growing weeds. They were blown to pieces in the constant gunfire, but they kept coming back.

There will be endless killings... If this continues, even if the exit is in front of them, they will not be able to escape after being exhausted. The best way to clean up this kind of miscellaneous soldiers is to use large-scale curse magic, such as [Rising Fire] Or [Smoke Entertainment Home].

But with his current mental state, [Yan Yujia] can hold on for another fifteen minutes at most - even if he can clear out the soldiers blocking the way, if the enemy has other means of blocking, he will have no trump card at all!

Without the two "guarantees" of [Smoke-Shaped Man] and bloodline power, Anson no longer had any room for error.

Just when Anson began to hesitate, he suddenly felt an unusually obvious aura of a gifted person coming from behind him, and it was getting stronger and more...familiar.

Almost identical to Louis Bernard!

"boom--!!!!"

As his eyes widened in surprise, a "blade" made of milky white water vapor exploded in the surging tide of corpses beside him.

Among the broken corpses flying in the sky and the scattered water mist, a figure wielding a long knife appeared in his field of vision.

"Why, you don't remember me so soon?"

Slightly playful words rang out, and Phil Cressy, with slightly raised corners of his mouth, stepped through the gradually dissipating mist and appeared in front of Anson and Lisa who looked shocked;

"For leaving me to die alone in the enemy's lair and escaping alone, do you two owe me something to say?"

"Like...I'm sorry or something."

Looking at the proud savior who fell from the sky, Anson quickly regained his composure with an expressionless face:

"No - because I have every reason to believe that if it were the same situation, you would have acted more ruthlessly and decisively."

"Uh... I guess what you said makes sense." Feier smiled at himself, with a slightly weird expression:

"After all, regarding the matter of Sailing City and the "Big Magic Book", I did not fulfill my promise to you; it is natural that I cannot gain your doubts. After all, trust needs to be gained through actions."

"So please don't be offended by what happens next."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, just...you should still remember Mrs. Camille, our old acquaintance, right?" Feier sucked his throat hard:

"She... uh... seems to have followed me here."

Regarding some malicious remarks that "Miss Talia wears no clothes all year round", Kong Kong hereby refutes them - there is no evidence for this statement, and it is all made up by Anson Bach himself!
