Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "Look, apart from trapping Dolores on the hill, Salot did not forget to let his brothers and sisters look for possible clues."

　　 Not all the Stuarts are gathered near the palace. Some of the chess pieces in the hands of Sarhi II are far away from the "battlefield" and are now scattered in the city.

"Yes, but once they find the power symbol you left behind, will they really give it to Salot? If I remember correctly, the way to win is for one camp to get three pieces, not one person. Get three things. I think His Royal Highness can also think of the things I can think of. It is impossible for him to guard against his brothers and sisters. After all, there is also a certain degree of competition between them."

　　 "Then we will wait and see."

　　 said the king.

　　 At the beginning of the second round after midnight, King Salhi knew that Jenkins was unwilling to speak first, so he prepared to speak as before. But he was taken aback for a moment, and then he looked at the edge of the chessboard, which was the outskirts of the city.

　　 An ice blue snowflake pattern without any pattern suddenly appeared there, and under the gaze of Nolan everyone, he quickly approached the city from the outskirts of the city. According to the appearance of the North Border Guard Corps just now, this means that another army has appeared around Luen and joined tonight's duel.

But this army is obviously different. At the place where the ice blue snowflakes pass by, the original normal land color is all whitened, and a few people overlooking Luen can clearly see that there is snow floating under the night sky without dark clouds. .

　　Salhi II suddenly seemed to be burnt, let go of his hand holding the chessboard and suddenly stood up. Jenkins picked up the cat who was trying to get on the table and looked down at the metal on the edge of the chessboard. With the sound of the sound, a thin layer of frost covered the surface, even the props that had been placed on the edge of the chessboard Living.

　　 The cold air flowed from the chessboard to Nolan’s small room like a spewing spring, causing everyone to shiver. This was the first time since the start of the duel that Ruen was actually influencing Nolan through the chessboard.

"what have you done?"

　　 Salhi II looked at his almost frostbitten hand, then suddenly raised his head and asked Jenkins, his tone a little harsh.

"I didn't do anything. It seems that something went wrong with your plan. It should be me now to ask you, what did you do? Something seems to be wrong... So, should our confrontation stop? "

Chapter 1717 The first thousand six hundred and ninety chapters of the human alliance

　　Sarhi II knew about the existence of the Yeti Corps since last winter, but he never knew that this army was in the snow-capped mountains around Ruen. This was the biggest change since the beginning of the game. Although Salhi II was surprised, he quickly returned to his chair, at least not looking panicked.

　　 "My time is running out."

　　 He did not suspend the duel.

　　 The frost just spread to the edge of the board and stopped, without affecting other items in the room. In the second round that continued, Salhi II still commanded his children. He complied with Salot's plan and made quite strict arrangements for the siege of Dolores. As for the children scattered in the city of Ruen looking for clues, Sarhi II did not give them any guidance.

　　 After the king used a handkerchief as a prop that can quickly recover the wounded, he went to Jenkins to speak. He watched the snowmen's army stop there, and the white was spreading on the chessboard centered on the snowflake, so he knew that Alexia had his own idea.

　　 So relaxed in his heart, he gave instructions for the next round:

　　 "Dolores will take a few trusted followers and leave the palace from the secret road, temporarily handing over the command to the Duke of Rodbye. After leaving the palace, she will go to the Church of the Sages in the city for help."

　　Salhi II looked at Jenkins, but said nothing. Instead, Princess Angelina Stuart, who had not spoken, asked in a low voice:

　　 "Will the church help her? We came back to Luen through this method, so we can't easily show up in front of the church, right?"

　　 Jenkins listened to her and turned his head to give the princess a smile:

　　 "Don't worry, Dolores can't move the church, but I still have a little face in the church."

　　 Her Royal Highness's face turned red from the man's smile, and her father sighed again.

　　 Jenkins continued to arrange to:

　　 "Dolores will reveal her identity and, in the name of Jenkins Williams' fiancée, ask the church to help suppress the actions of the Northern Legion that entered the city tonight. At the same time, the Church of the Sage..."

　　 "You can't command the church, all you can command is your chess piece."

　　 Salhi II said.

"I didn't command, I just guessed about the church's actions. The Church of the Sages is limited to the Tower Agreement. Although it will not send out transcendents to directly confront the North Border Guards, the church can send out some of the gifted people to participate in the frontal battlefield. Next, help Dolores and the people in the palace.

At the same time, the Church of the Sages will unite with other churches in the city of Ruen to pressure the northern legion that enters the city, asking them to act according to His Majesty’s instructions tonight, but not to kill too many people. Let this The city is full of blood. "

　　 "Is this your kindness?"

　　 "No, this is not kindness, this is just my bottom line as an ordinary person."

　　 This round, Jenkins did not use any props, but his identity can have a greater effect on Dolores than any props in this duel.

　　As Dolores enters the church, the golden star symbolizing the power of the church and the blue star on Jenkins’s side converge towards the city. The situation is changing rapidly, and the entrance of the church has stabilized the city on the brink of war again.

　　 The clergy were running around, and the North Border Guard Corps took in the church's high-pressure attitude for some reason, and stopped further action.

　　At the same time, Salot Stuart’s steam cannon was finally transported from the city wall to the hill below. But before he ordered the first lethal shell to be fired, there was a harsh sound from the north of the city.

　　 Ruen’s princess and princes don’t know why, but Nolan’s king, princess, and writer can see a group of obese people wearing black cloaks appearing outside the city.

　　 They moved forward in unison, ignoring the warnings of the guards outside the city, and together they raised the heavy right arm that was firmly bound by the sleeve.

As the huge spirit resonated with nature, the sound of water vapor crystals in the air gathered together. Then, as the huge snowball appeared in the sky and formed a shadow to obscure the two moons, everyone who saw this scene knew it. Something is wrong.

　　 The snowmen disguised as normal human beings finally let the huge snowball directly hit the ground, thus smashing a huge gap in the ancient city wall that had stood on this land 500 years ago.

　　 The harsh sound that people in the city heard just now was exactly the sound that the snowball made when it broke through the city wall. The soldiers who witnessed this scene had completely confused their hands and feet.

　　 "I swear all this has nothing to do with me."

　　 said without having to question Jenkins by Salhi II, and added:

　　 "Look, I've always been here."

　　 Salxi II snorted and did not speak, but continued to watch the fragile defenses outside the city completely unable to stop the attack of these snowmen. Whether it was the Northern Guards Corps or the city defense forces, they all put their main force inside the city.

　　The snowmen entering the city held their right arm high. With the resonance of the spirit, the temperature dropped rapidly on the originally hot summer night, and they were trying to change the environment.

　　 At the same time, the church noticed the abnormal movement outside the city. After a brief observation, it immediately understood that this was the reappearance of the Yeti Legion. Too late to explore where these snowmen came from, the church's gifted squad dispatched, and the snowmen entered the city, which may cause everyone in the city to be transformed into terrifying alien monsters.

　　 As the capital of the North Kingdom, once it falls here, the entire Hampawo Kingdom may be invaded by this powerful trick.

The news that the Snowmen Army entered the city also reached the ears of the Stuarts more than ten minutes later. Most of these people knew what it was. After all, children who grew up in the North had heard of this horror spreading in the North when they were young. legend. After a little comparison of priorities, the army immediately turned to the outside of the city. The steam cannon that had just been transported to the city was also dismantled and transported to the new battlefield that was about to be opened.

　　In just half an hour, the complicated situation in the city has become simpler. Now, everyone’s goal is to protect this city and the jewel of the North.

　　 "What is Alexia going to do?"

　　Nolan’s Jenkins thought in his heart, seeing the city fall with Salhi II, first snowmen swarmed into the city, and then the human army arrived, cooperating with the church’s giftmen to force it up.

　　 This scene is quite epic. It is a joint effort made by mankind to fight against the disaster. It indirectly proves that Jenkins's attempt to unite all forces against the cataclysm at the end of the era is completely feasible.

　　 It's all about Luen. Jenkins, who knows the whole story, can't guess what the short lady thinks.

　　PS: So what is Alexia going to do...

Chapter 1718 The first thousand six hundred and ninety-one chapters of the evacuation

　　 Luen’s night was completely “ignited”. Of course, “igniting” is just what Jenkins described. In fact, “ice-bound” is more appropriate.

　　 It is useless to imply that Jenkins and Salhi II, Dolores and Salot Stuart, after learning of the appearance of the Yeti Army, took the initiative to reconcile and temporarily reached a cooperation agreement. They united the armies in their hands and assisted the Northern Legion to face the terrifying snowmen together.

　　 The gifter team of the church also assembled, and marched towards the direction of the snowmen entering the city with a determination of death.

　　 At this moment, the many props used by Jenkins and Salhi II in the first midnight showdown played a real role. Because all the human forces in the city are now united in their camps, the effects of the continuous props they use can all cover the army and the extraordinary.

Healing, dark vision, unity, spying on weaknesses...Although the counterattack was hasty, but under the influence of the Yeti Legion deliberately keeping hands and those chessboard props, the first human attack actually drove the Yeti directly out of the city. outer.

　　 This is what happened in the third and fourth rounds after midnight. In these two rounds, Jenkins and Salsh II were both in Nolan, commanding the chess pieces to help the army and the church resist the Yeti Legion, and did nothing extra. This is really like a war chess game, but the two players belong to the same faction.

　　 His Majesty the King is worried about his country. Of course, Jenkins is acting and acting, after all, the Yeti Army belongs to him.

　　 And because of their outstanding performance in cooperating with the Resistance Snowman Army, Dolores and Salot won a chance together.

　　 Ruen city north, Roddale Avenue, the original prosperous commercial pedestrian street, on this night full of surprises became the rear of the human army. In addition to the temporary command post of the church, the Northern Army and the Stuarts, it is also a center for transporting the wounded and deploying materials.

　　 Dolores and her sisters stood on the roof of the three-story apartment facing the street and looked towards the battlefield north of the city. Of course, she knew where the snowmen came from, so she was not worried about the outcome of this "war".

　　 Tonight's temperature has dropped by nearly ten degrees, so even though it is summer, the princesses are still wearing white fluffy shawls. These clothes were also found in a hurry.

　　 Soon there was a message from the servant that the queen of Hampavo, who had been in the palace for a long time and rarely showed up, also came here and asked to meet Dolores and Salot.

　　 Dolores on the roof showed a smile, and then in the worried eyes of her sister, she jumped directly from the roof to the street below.

While in the air, the ice crystals in the air briefly formed ice plates, allowing her to unload her strength step by step. Therefore, the whole process is like Dolores jumping down in the air continuously, and ice blossoms bloom under her feet every time she stops. But it settled on the ground steadily.

The queen saw the princess and the prince in the temporarily requisitioned tobacco shop at the end of the street. Neither Dolores nor Salot had come out of the queen in front of them, and their relationship was relatively indifferent, so they didn’t even say hello politely after seeing her. Instead, he asked directly and tacitly:

　　 "Where is the thing that father gave you to keep?"

　　 A violent explosion sounded from a distance, and the wind rushing across the street a few seconds later made the open tobacco shop also be infested by the wind. In the howling wind and the swaying flames of the kerosene lamp, the two Stuarts dressed in military uniforms looked at the stepmother with serious eyes. The beautiful woman looked at this scene with a little bewilderment, and then said softly for a while. :

　　 "Your father asked that only the most suitable person can get that..."

　　 This is an extremely beautiful and elegant woman, but she does not have enough ability and courage to try to make the two children understand who is the elder.

　　 "I want to bribe you."

　　 Said Salot and took out the coin, his tone was rather impatient.

　　 "I want to bribe you too."

　　Dolores was also not interested in listening to the next words of her stepmother, but took out the symbol of [The Seed of Blasphemy].

　　 They all opened their palms to the queen, and the two coins gleamed in the steady flame.

　　 The woman's hand was raised uncontrollably. She closed her eyes and didn't watch her next movement, but this couldn't prevent that hand from finally choosing Dolores' coin.

　　 "This is your father staying..."

　　 The blood-red seal had just been taken out, and Dolores snatched it over. Then he took a step back and looked at his elder brother vigilantly.

　　 Salot had an unexpected expression on his face. After taking back his coin, he slightly raised his head and looked at his sister:

　　 "Dolores, you don't think I will forcibly **** other people's things, do you? I, as the prince of this country and the eldest son of the Stuart family, can't do that kind of thing."

　　 said, she turned and left. On the other side, Dolores rubbed the seal in her hand with a smile on her face, and then turned and left.

　　 From beginning to end, neither of them paid attention to the other woman in the store.

　　 "I thought the atmosphere of your home was very good, although it is not particularly harmonious, but I never thought it would be like this..."

　　 Jenkins at Nolan's table put his arms on the chessboard and hesitated, hesitated. He rarely heard Dolores talk about his stepmother, and he didn't know the relationship between the Stuarts and the queen before.

　　 Salhi II did not speak, and the princess behind him shook her head to signal Jenkins not to talk about this topic.

　　 After getting the private seal of Salhi II, plus the ring representing the family heritage, Dolores immediately obtained two artifacts that symbolized the power of the Kingdom of Hampawo.

　　 She was very close to victory, but in the next few rounds, because Jenkins had only three princesses, her actions were restricted. On the other hand, there were a large number of chess pieces on the side of Sarhi II. Two hours before dawn, he also obtained the small and luxurious crown of the queen by searching his mother's original family.

　　 This jewelry was created when the original queen married Salhi II. After the queen passed away due to illness, the crown was collected by Salhi II and was not handed over to the next queen to continue using it.

　　 "It turns out that my father kept it all the time."

　　 Dolores quickly learned of the progress of her elder brother, because she heard about the crown here, she muttered a little bit disappointed. But she quickly adjusted her condition and actively looked for the last artifact.

　　 Jenkins is not sure what Alexia did tonight, but it is certain that the small-scale war that took place in Ruen was planned by her alone. After being repelled beyond the city wall after midnight, the Yeti Legion broke out with greater combat effectiveness, no matter how the human army attacked, it would not retreat half a step.

　　 They moved forward at a slow speed, and finally forced humans to abandon the northern city of Ruen and move the residents to a safe place. When Nolan's clock struck for the fourth time in a row, the Yeti Legion had already occupied one-fifth of the entire city of Ruen.

　　 This is a terrible progress. If Alexia really wants to occupy the entire Ruen, then the human beings who are still rebelling will definitely not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements.

　　 This kind of thing would not happen in the ordinary age, but at the end of the era, there are frequent disasters in various places, and the demigods who should have been stationed in the city set out to "fight fires" everywhere. There are only three demigods staying in Luen tonight, but the commander of the Yeti Legion has been strengthened by Alexia and can barely stop them temporarily.

　　 At four o'clock before dawn, the command of the human coalition had already moved from that commercial street to the royal palace at the commanding heights of the city. Now the entire northern city of Ruen is on fire. This is the flame that humans have ignited deliberately to stop the snowmen from attacking.

　　 Like Salhi II said, Ruen can rebuild without it, and people can tell which one is more important.

　　 This soaring flame reflected the red of the western foot of the palace, and the young prince who hurried up from the hill gave a black iron pendant to his elder brother.

"what is that?"

　　 Jenkins asked.

"It is a token of free entry and exit of the palace at night. After the Ice and Snow Festival, my father did not allow anyone to do so, so all these ornaments were put away. Since it represents the power to enter the palace, it can be used as a symbol of power. "

　　 the princess replied.

　　 Jenkins nodded and asked his opponent:

　　 "The last artifact, won't it be your crown, right?"

　　 The development of the matter to the present is also beyond the expectation of Salhi II. From a few rounds ago, he did not say a word during the round. Maybe it was for physical reasons, maybe it was for spiritual reasons, but seeing that his country was invaded by alien monsters, even a king with a normal body would not be in a good state of mind.

　　 It’s getting closer and closer to the dawn. Just as Jenkins was thinking about what Alexia wanted to do, it was the turn of Sarhi II again to make an amazing decision:

　　 "Abandon Luen and lead the local residents to retreat to the southern plains. Our army is very strong and there are plenty of firearms. If we leave now, we can save at least half of the lives of the people."

　　 "Are you sure you want to do this?"

　　 "Viscount Williams, I don't see the hope that they can defeat those monsters. There is Luen, not Nolan. There are not so many extraordinary people in the church who can help ordinary people."

　　From the perspective of Salhi II, although this decision is painful, it definitely makes sense. Jenkins also had to admit the king's decisiveness, but he knew that Alexia's purpose would never be to occupy the northern capital.
