"Clang -!"

The bloody dagger fell to the ground, and Peter FASA, who was in pain, knelt to the ground. His left hand pressed his right hand, which was penetrated by the arrow and bleeding, desperately couldn't help shouting.

He lost.

And there is no suspense about losing.

Although he did his best, although his performance was incredible, it... Didn't help at all.

Although the other party is a girl, his strength is far better than him... In other words, he is just an ordinary night watchman. He is a full-time spy rather than an assassin. He will be left by Lord Ruth infinite and only serves as his liaison officer.

Think about it and know... How can you give him such a task as Gongwei's palace, a guy with suspicious loyalty and a "criminal record" who has contacted the wizard tower in private?

But

Struggling to raise his head, Peter FASA looked at his enemies with a desperate face and couldn't help but close the corners of his mouth.

Especially when I saw her bright and incomparable smile.

"Give up, Lord Peter FASA. You're not a soldier at all."

The Female Elf with her left hand on her hips raised the double-edged Azores long knife in her hand, which looked like a war bow. Her long golden hair showed a very confident smile:

"Even your strange magic can't stop my 'guerrilla arrow'. Don't fight there any more!"

Peter FASA was stunned and subconsciously said, "you, you know my name..."

Before he finished, he regretted it.

"Yes, I know your name, even where you were and what you did... Alexandra tiberia knows it all!"

The proud fairy girl also tilted her chin proudly: "after all, she is an apprentice of the first Azores warrior and will still be an Azores... No! She is the first assassin in the world. Of course, it's no small matter!"

"Blood splashes five steps and saves the world at the least cost... This is Alexandra's dream!" the fairy grinned boldly: "so... Lord Peter FASA, please get out of the way. Tonight's battle has nothing to do with you."

"With the life of Eckhardt de sallion alone, we can save all the creatures in the world, and all wars and suffering can end in the smallest scope; in a hundred years, no matter the Empire or Azores, we will completely forget what 'War' is."

"For such a great cause, it's just a person's life; how... It must sound cost-effective, right?"

Peter FASA was stunned.

He stared at the "natural" elf girl in front of him. In any case, he could not imagine that the person who defeated him had such a strange brain circuit.

Or is it that the simpler the world is, the more powerful it will be?

No, no, no... it's a mess!

How can you think about these things? The most important thing now is to ensure that the elf girl will not appear in your Majesty's bedroom

"Bang --!"

At this time, the door of the bedroom behind him was suddenly opened.

At the same time, the two stunned looked up.

The dark figure came to them step by step from the depths of the gate.

Mingming can't feel any murderous spirit, and Mingming's figure doesn't look great... But when the slow pace gradually approaches, the two people outside the door still feel like a heavy burden, and even breathing becomes difficult.

"Kill me and you'll get peace... It's easy."

The thick and slightly vicissitudes of life voice, deep and full of magnetism, makes people feel his majesty: "unfortunately, all the easy things in the world are never easy."

His eyes fell and his flaming pupils stared at Peter FASA kneeling on the ground.

"Imperial man, stand up. We don't kneel to the enemy."

"We just cut off their heads!"

Peter was shocked, suddenly bowed his head, endured the pain of his arm and body, bit his teeth, stood up and picked up the dagger again,

"Yes --!"

The stunned elf girl seems to have finally recovered from the shock.

"It's unbelievable... But it's worthy of being the emperor of the Empire. You dare to appear in front of the first assassin in the future alone!" the chief adjutant of the court, Alexandra tiberia, raised the double-edged long knife similar to the war bow in his right hand and posed as a bow and arrow:

"Although some are invincible, I don't mind for the sake of world peace!"

Peter FASA struggled to move his feet to keep Eckhardt II behind him.

Although I can't win, at least I can stop her for your majesty

"Invincible?"

Ikhat II murmured in a low voice, with no emotion in his steady voice: "yes."

"Let you appear alone in front of my bedroom palace and be the enemy of a supreme emperor. Even if I defeat you, I will be invincible."

The fairy girl's eyes are wide open, and the long knife in her hand shines.

The slender figure jumped calmly, then plucked the string with his left hand, and an invisible arrow hit Eckhart's figure.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Peter FASA, who was startled, shouted anxiously and rushed desperately to Eckhart behind him: "that arrow can't be blocked..."

Before he finished, he was stunned.

Standing in place, Eckhardt II pulled out his sword.

"Dang --!"

The blade full of runes was nailed straight in front of him.

"Node... Complete." Eckhardt, with sharp eyes, suddenly raised his head: "open it..."

"Broken boundary · dragon region --!"

The next second, the dazzling white light bloomed and lit up the whole sky palace; The three figures in front of the bedroom gate were swallowed up by the light in an instant.

If it were not for the ice barrier, the whole imperial capital would be "bathed" in this light!

The stunned Peter FASA stood still.

Pop!

Not far away came a sound like water spray, and a broken arrow fell quietly to the ground.

This, this after all

"What on earth is this --?"

The scream of the fairy girl sounded behind him.

"It's no big deal, it's just a wall." the indifferent Eckhardt II said, "the desalion family has inherited... Small tricks for hundreds of years."

"The enemy of the future will be blocked outside the wall. At the same time, once any life with void reaction approaches, it will be killed by the light beam falling from the sky."

"In this light, reflect on whether your idea is wrong!"

The expressionless Eckhart II turned and walked back into the gate of the bedroom without looking back.

"Wait a minute, I..."

The anxious elf girl wanted to stop the leaving Eckhart II, but at this moment, the dazzling beam of light flashed over her head and fell head-on like an arrow.

"Boom --!!"

The door of the bedroom is closed again.

…………………………………

In the bedroom, Peter FASA, who lost too much blood, leaned weakly against the door, gasped, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept falling like raindrops.

Close to the gate of the bedroom, you can still hear the roar of explosions outside the palace, like thunderstorms, ravaging wantonly.

But at this time, there was no joy of survival on Peter FASA's face, but only full of doubts.

Since there are such powerful defense facilities, why do you wait until the enemy invades the bedroom?

It's because there are too many restrictions, or it's unnecessary at first, or it's because

"The boundary wall... Is a heritage inherited from the Dragon kingdom."

Before he asked, Eckhart II had answered: "this is a defensive measure to resist the dragon's air attack. For ordinary enemies, the resistance effect is not ideal."

"At most two quarters of an hour, she should be able to detect the solution."

Two quarters of an hour?!

Peter FASA, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the figure of Eckhart II in amazement.

That is to say, the enemy will break through the gate and kill him from the outside in at most two quarters of an hour?!

"Poop!"

Hearing the sound, Eckhart II paused and turned his eyes behind him.

Peter FASA knelt on one knee and his eyes were shining with a decisive light: "since there are still two quarters of an hour, please evacuate from here as soon as possible - there is also a secret passage outside the city in the bedroom, and there is a night watchman's hand near the exit, which is absolutely not dangerous!"

"If the enemy invades, I will stop them for your majesty!"

With that, Peter FASA, who closed his mouth tightly, did not move, waiting for the answer of Eckhart II.

He is ready to die.

But Eckhardt just looked at him silently and shook his head slowly.

"I won't leave."

Peter FASA was stunned: "Your Majesty?!"

"You are willing to use your own death to be loyal to the Empire and sacrifice for the safety of thousands of Empire people... I am very grateful for this." akhat II took his seat slowly and calmly:

"But I can't leave... Not only can't leave, I must die tonight, under the knife of some elf Assassin - well, it's better to cut off my head and appear in front of the people of the imperial capital, which will be more perfect."

Peter FASA was stunned.

"Of course, this process can't be too easy, otherwise it will arouse their suspicion; so the royal bodyguard, the night watchman, the oath Knight of the Church... I designed many levels for them to make them sure that I had known about the assassination and was on guard."

"Then... The sky palace must also be allowed to hide the true time of my death; the later it is exposed, the stronger the credibility - it is best to wait until they find the 'truth' from a pile of clues, or until there is no irreparable situation..."

Looking at Peter FASA with a "stunned" expression, akhat II stopped talking and looked at him with his red pupils:

"Yes, Peter FASA, don't be so surprised. You heard right."

"I, Eckhart de sallion, carefully planned my own death - everything was designed by me; so far, nothing has gone wrong."

At that moment, Peter FASA only felt his brain empty.

Eckhardt... Your majesty... He... He

What the hell is he talking about?!

"It's not surprising that you're confused... Even when I made this decision, I hesitated." a low, slow voice sounded:

"But if I want this chess game to continue according to my idea, my death is a necessary link - no, it should be said that the death of 'akhat II, the supreme emperor of the twelfth generation of the empire' is a necessary step to start the next link."

"There is no other way to make the Empire really feel threatened and defeat our enemies... I am calm when I think about this." Eckhardt sighed in a low voice full of magnetism:

"An excellent chess player should not only count everything on the chessboard, but also hold everything outside the chessboard in the palm... The life of the chess piece, the life of the enemy and his own... Are chips and can be used."

He raised his head and looked up at the ceiling above his head. His eyes were deep and seemed to be in meditation.

Peter FASA still doesn't understand.

"Your Majesty, are you doing this... To unite the Empire and defeat the invasion of the Azores?" Peter, with wide eyes, trembled in his voice:

"If so, it's not necessary. His highness connord or Brandon will..."

"Azores?"

Hearing the speech, Eckhart II flashed a trace of disdain at the bottom of his eyes and shook his head.

"No, it's not the Azores... Our enemies are 1000 times and 10000 times more terrible than them. It's a threat that has always existed since the founding of the Empire. It's a terrible force that can destroy the whole world!"

The whole world, stunned Peter subconsciously said, "are you talking about... The demons of the north?"

This time, Eckhardt didn't answer him again.

"You can't understand, it's not your fault... Even in the Empire, there are few people who can really understand the existence of this threat; there are only a few who can stop it." Eckhardt said in a deep voice:

"Twelve generations of the Empire... Since the second generation of akhat I ancestors, desalion of each generation has tried his best to counter this threat, or was unable to sit back and watch it grow in pain."

"This kind of suffering is very real... It's like a pottery bottle full of filth and cracks. We have to replace every fragment on the bottle, but we have to be careful that we won't smash the whole pottery bottle."

"The Dragon Queen, Charlotte de sallion, my grandmother... She almost did it, but she almost crushed the pottery bottle; my father, he spent his life putting the broken bottle together again, but he made the bottle more dirty."

"Now it's my turn, and the opportunity to end all this is finally in front of me; so I made a decision that I will end all this, but... Not in the 12th generation, not even by my hand."

"But according to my will, let all this come to an end!"
