Darkening Guardian Knight

"Of course." The gentleman said, "Sooner or later, a lazy country like the Ashe Empire will be divided up. Now it is appropriate for our God of War family to take over."

"Don't forget your promise." Emperor Solot reminded, "Our Solot Empire didn't work for your family for free. Otherwise, we would just change the owner of the Ashe Empire after mobilizing so many people. We didn't get any benefits, so it would be ridiculous."

"I understand. Our family can't afford to offend a real empire like Solot, and what you promise to Your Majesty will naturally be done." The gentleman from the God of War family said.

"That's good." Emperor Solot said casually, "By the way, do you have any insights into this world? Ares."

The Patriarch of the God of War said humbly: "I can't say my opinion, I just feel that the people who created this world seem to want to hint us something."

"Well, this spiritual world is exactly the same as reality. There is no doubt that the creator has ulterior motives."

The emperor's tone was impetuous, as if he was saying: This kind of thing has been known for a long time, can you come up with some new ideas?

The Patriarch of the God of War was more or less aware of his thoughts, and he said: "Perhaps, after defeating all the "kings", we will know all the answers. "

"What is the basis?" Emperor Solot asked, "To defeat all the kings, isn't this equivalent to conquering the mainland?"

"From the very beginning, the prompt that brought us into this world said that the number of people who challenged in the end was only 16. Then think carefully, this must be some kind of signal—a signal that inspires us to fight together!"

The Patriarch of the God of War is very confident in his reasoning, "And in this world, powerful players are not only marked with their names, but also have the signal of the chess pieces in the war chess. This classification system is no different from the war chess.

Obviously, the people who set up this spiritual world must also be eager for us to kill and kill through this system, like a game of war chess, to determine the outcome. "

"What you said is very reasonable, but it is a bit difficult to actually do it." Emperor Solot said distressedly, "It took me a lot of effort just to get the Ashe Empire, and I can't even imagine how to conquer the Siscari Empire." and behemoths like the Central Empire."

"There will always be a way." Patriarch God of War said, "Take down the Ashe Empire first, and then gradually become stronger step by step!"

"That's right, we have to strengthen our strength on a down-to-earth basis." Emperor Solot reluctantly said, "Then, let's continue our journey—"

Take down the Ashe Empire completely!

Take the first step to conquer the continent!

No.30 Section Three Next Steps

On the white platform, there was a faint aroma of black tea. A beautiful woman with long blue hair sat on the platform dignifiedly, holding a teacup, and took a sip of tea gracefully:

"Now, Solot's army should have captured my royal city, right? Maybe they're quite happy?"

"Oh, no matter what, it's also a royal city of an empire, that is, Queen Ashe dared to abandon it casually."

Sitting across from the beautiful woman with blue hair, the gentle middle-aged man said with a light smile, "According to my intelligence agent, the God of War family has reached a cooperation with the Solot Empire to take over part of the Ashe Empire."

"This is also within our expectations. After all, we have all cooperated, and it is normal for other forces to cooperate."

As Queen Ashe, Kate said calmly, "But you can see that the God of War family got involved so quickly, which means that everyone is in a hurry. Everyone is thinking about how to quickly conquer the mainland and how to win the final victory."

"But the other forces have not moved." Patriarch Hoinstein expressed a little worry, "Especially those big forces on the front line, it seems that they don't care about this war at all."

"Don't worry, it's not that they don't care, it's just that they intend to wait for the opportunity and become fishermen who fight between snipe and clam."

Queen Ashe said, "Besides, as a front-line force, they must know more than us. Therefore, they are more scruples. This is an opportunity for us."

"An opportunity to take advantage of? So you have figured it out?" Patriarch Hoinstein asked.

"No, not at all." She shook her head. "It is impossible for me to guess all the thoughts of those big countries. After all, the information is not equal, and it is too forced to speculate on their intentions casually."

"Is it appropriate to leave them alone?"

"Who said it doesn't matter." Queen Ashe rolled her eyes, "It's just that there is no way to find out what medicine they sell in the gourd, and it doesn't mean that there is no countermeasure."

"Have you really taken everything into account?" Patriarch Hoinstein asked, but he felt more at ease in his heart, "So what's the countermeasure?"

"Don't worry, it's basically certain that no one else will get involved now. Because Solot wants to monopolize this piece of cake, and it's impossible to give it up easily."

The queen drank her tea calmly and said, "If the Central Empire takes advantage, Solot will naturally hinder and stop them, and it will become a situation that is beneficial to us."

"Then what if they cooperate?" Patriarch Hoinstein asked.

"Then we can only admit defeat." Queen Ashe put down her teacup and looked at the sky sadly. "According to common sense, the first-tier forces dare not act rashly, let alone cooperate with the expanding second-tier top forces like the Solot Empire. Especially this kind of cooperation that will not bring them benefits."

"Is it theoretically impossible to cooperate?"

"Yeah, after all, after the cooperation, other forces will also form a group and become more vigilant. At that time, the difficulty of conquering will increase exponentially. Compared with it, the compensation obtained from the Ashe Empire can only be regarded as petty profits."

Queen Ashe explained, "If it were me, even if I really cooperate with the Solot Empire, I don't want to jump out now, be exposed to the war arena, and become a living target for other forces."

"But it's still an uncertain factor, right?" Patriarch Hoinstein was still uneasy.

"I also said that if everyone follows the normal thinking, the Ashe Empire and the Hornstein family may win in the end.

If someone's brain is broken, we will be the victims, and that person with a broken brain basically loses the chance to compete for the ultimate winner and pays the price for his recklessness. "

She said, waving to her bishop Mead Lane, and ordered: "After the troops of the Solot Empire and the God of War family have completely captured the Queen's City, we will implement the next plan."

"Okay, Your Lady Queen!" Mead Lane responded, and after bowing to the two of them, she retreated.

The Hoinstein family saw it, and asked puzzledly: "Huh? Why did you entrust the great magician Ryan to do it? The plan we discussed does not have this link."

He made an agreement with Queen Ashe, wait until the Solot Empire occupies the royal city, and wait until the Solot Empire and the God of War family deal with the trivial matters of the Ashe Empire before blowing the horn of counterattack and clearing the invaders in one go go out.

But if Queen Ashe acts now, wouldn't it be contrary to the original plan of staying still?

The blue-haired queen seemed to know Hoinstein's thoughts, she said: "It's okay, I won't affect the final plan. I just want to give the Solot Empire a commemoration."

"Remembrance?" Hoinstein was inexplicably cold, as if he saw the figure of a demon behind the woman, "What are you going to do?"

"I have to destroy some things." Queen Ashe said cryptically, "There are several documents about the secrets of the Ashe Empire still in the palace, and I asked Ryan to deal with them."

"How to deal with it?" Patriarch Hoinstein probably guessed something and asked aloud.

"Blow up." The blue-haired queen said coldly and ruthlessly, "In order to avoid being discovered, we didn't leave magic traps or other tricks behind. We just piled some ordinary explosives in the palace. There is no magical aura on the explosives. Even if a great magician comes, it will not be detected."

"But the way of blasting the palace will definitely not be accepted by the people?" Patriarch Hoinstein said cautiously, "For the Solot Empire Army with great magicians, that little loss is not painful or itchy. But if you If you lose your prestige among the people, it will be over!"

"Well, I will be careful." Queen Ashe nodded, without the slightest thought of backing down or giving up, "The amount of explosives I am ambush is enough to level the palace!"

"Is this a sense of proportion?!" Hoinstein's jaw almost fell to the ground when he heard this, "With so many explosives, how dare you say that you have a sense of proportion?"

"Well, I've done the calculations. If it goes well, I'll probably be able to wipe out 20%-30% of Solot's army. I'm already being merciful."

The queen said, "In order to launch a perfect counterattack, isn't it good to weaken Solot's strength in advance?"

Can't refute...

"As for whether the opinions of the people will bring bad winds. That can't be helped, everyone has everyone's ideas."

Queen Ashe said: "Maybe some people will be dissatisfied, but they should also understand that it is the Solot Empire that pushed us into a desperate situation, and they had no choice but to make such a bad move. By the way, we show a gesture of breaking the boat, and maybe we can still play the sympathy card."

"Well, it does make sense." Hoinstein said, "Then how did you activate the explosives? Space magic?"

"Yes." The woman admitted calmly, "I have space magicians under my command, and this is just using their power."

"It's like this—crack, bang!" She smiled and made a fire gesture, which looked very vivid.

Hoinstein seemed to see the explosion and collapse of Ashe Castle, and saw the solid wall cracking from the center, killing many young soldiers who entered by mistake.

"What a terrible woman! For the sake of the plan, she would rather abandon the royal city forever, and even turn the glorious city into a bomb!" Hoinstein thought to himself.

What a vicious woman this is!

No.30 Four undiscovered things

Looking at the huge breach in the royal city not far away, Emperor Solot's expression was a little indifferent.

Everything was going well at first, he sent a brigade to investigate the Ashe King City to obtain some secret documents about the Ashe Empire, but he was tricked by the Queen.

"Using the most primitive gunpowder, coupled with ordinary space node magic, avoided the detection of magic perception... So it seems that Queen Ashe planned it in advance?"

Fortunately, Emperor Solot has always been cautious and only sent a small brigade as a forward to search, and did not lose much. "But this little trick is not feasible in an empire-level war. The casualties of a mere brigade are not painful at all."

The sergeant who came back from the scene of the accident asked him, "Your Majesty, there seems to be a secret passage in the bombed-out room. Would you like to check it out, Your Majesty?"

"Secret passage?" Emperor Solot was quite surprised and asked, "Is it safe?"

"It should be safe." The sergeant replied, "There are no traps found in the passage, it seems that this is one of the secret rooms hidden in King Ashe's city."

"Oh?" Emperor Solot rubbed his chin with interest when he heard the words, "Take me to have a look."

"Of order." The sergeant replied, leading Emperor Solot to the place where the explosion occurred.

In the broken wall of the ruins, there is a stone staircase extending downwards, in which it is pitch black, you can't see your fingers, and it is full of mystery.

But Emperor Solot was not afraid of this kind of darkness. He ordered the magicians under his command to use the flash technique to light up the four walls of the stone path, and penetrated calmly.

This secret passage was not as long as Emperor Solot imagined, and soon he and his personal guards came to an end——

It was a closed stone chamber, and in the center of the stone chamber was a bright sapphire, but there was nothing else.

The sharp-eyed magician in the team saw the function of this gem at a glance: "Your Majesty, this is a teleportation gem. It seems that a channel for image transmission is sealed inside... Do you want to activate it?"

"Image transmission?" Emperor Solot became more and more curious, "If you are sure there is no danger, then activate it."

"Yes." The magician dutifully poured magic power into the gem and activated it.

The blue gem was infused with magic power, flashing a dazzling white light, and the light quickly condensed into a ball, and finally turned into a round screen, showing Queen Ashe's beautiful face on the screen.

"Emperor Solot, congratulations on taking down the royal city of the Ashe Empire." Queen Ashe congratulated straight to the point, "The military strength of the Solot Empire is really not something that the Ashe Empire can match. There is no point in continuing to fight, so I decided to give up the Ashe King City to you."

"Hey, Queen Ashe is quite sensible." Emperor Solot whistled happily, "It seems that you are not so stupid, just listen to what you want to say."

"There are only a few things I want to say, but before I say those, I want to ask you a question to make sure you understand something crucial." Queen Ashe asked seriously, "Why did you start this war?"

"Because I have to defeat my opponents." Solot replied naturally, "War is necessary if we want to win."

"Then who do you think is the enemy of this war?" Queen Ashe paused, and then asked again.

"Oh, obviously everyone is my enemy. Isn't this how this game is played?" Emperor Solot didn't hide his ambition, "Don't tell me you didn't see it, this is still a war chess game, but the layout has changed."

"Games, you don't seem to have a thorough understanding of this world." Queen Ashe's eyes looked a little disappointed, "Well, since that's the case, I probably know that you are not a person who can understand each other. Anyway, thank you for your answer , Emperor Solot. We will meet again in the future war."

After Queen Ashe finished speaking, the image was erased, leaving Emperor Solot stunned for a long time, unable to understand what she wanted to say.

"This guy... he looked like he had something to say, but he just hung up in the end. He aroused people's curiosity, but he didn't say anything. It's really uncomfortable."

He turned his head and asked the Queen's magician, "Can you trace her location?"

"It can't be done." The magician bowed his head and said, "This gemstone received information unilaterally, and there is no way to trace the source."

"Tsk, this Queen Ashe, probably wants to disturb my mood?" He gritted his teeth, decided to ignore the queen's words, and continued the war at his own pace, "I'm not so easily deceived. As long as I fight steadily, I will eventually I must be the one who wins! It is meaningless to play tricks!"

Thinking of this, his mood was gradually relieved, and he returned to his original domineering.

He turned around and greeted the guards: "Let's go! There are still a lot of things to do in the Ashe Empire, and there is no time to waste here."

"Besides, this war is not over yet! You must work hard to take the rest of the Ashe Empire's territory!"

No.30 five undiscovered things

Sitting in Hoinstein's home, Kate put away the origin stone of the teleportation gem, and quietly looked at the scenery outside the platform, looking thoughtful.

"The emperor of Solot doesn't seem to be aware of the abnormalities in this world at all." She murmured, "Is it because I have Christian's soul fragment and I am extremely sensitive to certain things? Or is it because he really doesn't have any news about other forces? Or is that person really stupid?"

Kate was puzzled and fell into thinking: "According to the description of this challenge by the White King and the mysterious voice at the beginning, sixteen people finally entered the finals. These 16 people should represent sixteen important forces or organizations. The five empires, the four families, and the three associations must be included, but the other four forces are unknown."

"On the one hand, which four forces are hiding forces that are not inferior to the mainland's tyrants? On the other hand, what is the ultimate goal of this struggle?"

Kate deliberately left a channel to talk to Emperor Solot just to confirm his purpose.

But the answer she got was unexpectedly simple and did not satisfy her, "It is impossible for Christian and her companions to construct such a realistic spiritual world just to play a war game. In addition, this world is incompatible with the peerless method." Related, I think there must be a deeper secret hidden in it!"

"And when sorting out the materials of the Ashe Empire, I also found some clues."

At that time, she wanted to know more about the background of this world. By the way, she wanted to check how finely the spiritual world was constructed, whether even the contents of some rare ancient books were reproduced.

As a result, she found that this world is not so invulnerable-not any text on any book can be identified, and only the information related to this world can be read.

Others such as magic books, martial arts secret books, etc., the words on them are all blurred and cannot be seen clearly at all.

From the perspective of the challenge, this is normal, and it is impossible to give challengers such benefits.Otherwise, it will reduce the challenger's fighting spirit and let them all learn knowledge. No one cares about the big battle, which changes the original meaning of the challenge.

From the perspective of the world constructor, this is also normal.

After all, it is really troublesome to deal with the details clearly.

What's more, the world constructors themselves are not necessarily so well-read, and there will always be blind spots.

So Kate understands why the information given in the book is limited.But she also realized that this meant that the information that was clearly displayed must be useful, something that the creators of the world wanted to tell them!

"The information about the Ashe Empire is basically introducing the situation of the surrounding countries, as well as the embarrassing incidents of the Ashe Empire itself. There is nothing worthy of special attention."

Kate recalled what she got that night, and felt a little depressed, "The Ashe Empire knows too little, and it is indeed the "most difficult" start that the White King arranged for me.Not to mention the weak resources and the instability of the country, even vital information is hidden in the databases of other forces.
