We're Already In Close Combat And You Still Say You're A Mage?

"No."

"I don't want to see you killing each other. The rules set by our ancestors are too old. The dead have no right to speak."

After saying these words, the old king seemed to have been drained of his last strength, and he slumped back on the throne.

The eldest son of the king hurriedly wanted to get up and help him forward.

But the old king waved his hand and blocked it.

"You have been developing in the Holy City for so long. You must have some people or forces in your hands."

The old king spoke again.

This is not a question, but an affirmative.

"Yes."

Several princes and princesses responded yes.

The old king was right.

Even if these princes are not competing for the succession, if they want to protect themselves from other brothers and sisters in the fight for the new king, they must have some people or forces of their own in their hands.

These princes and princesses.

They seemed harmonious on the surface, sitting around the old king.

In fact, they've known it since they were six years old.

In the future, these people who have a deep blood relationship with themselves.

It will become the sharpest blade piercing your heart.

........

"In this case, you should not compete in private and fight each other."

"Just in the Holy City, let's put it out there."

The old king's weak voice fell, but no one dared to refute his proposal.

The majesty remains.

"dark."

The old king looked at Xu Bai, and then at the princes and princesses.

There was a hint of apology on the old face.

"Tell them the truth."

After saying these words, the old king did not continue talking, but sat on the throne with his eyes closed and waited.

The initiative was handed over to Xu Bai.

"Reminder: You have triggered the main prerequisite task - the truth in advance."

"Mission content: Inform everyone present about the life experience of the original commander of the Dark Knights."

"Task reward: 1 attribute point."

"Mission penalty: None."

"Tip: This task is a prerequisite for the main line. Your choice will determine the direction of the main line."

........

"Father, and An, what are you doing?"

The princess sitting aside spoke, he was closest to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai, who was standing aside, took a step forward and came to the front of everyone.

"Ahem."

Turning off the reminder of the Garden of Origin in front of him, Xu Bai cleared his throat and said:

"To tell you the truth, if you want to compete in the Holy City, I will be responsible for the security of the Holy City."

A hint of playfulness appeared on Xu Bai's face, which then turned serious.

Hit your left chest hard with your right hand, right at the heart.

"I hereby swear that before the new king ascends the throne, I will defend the safety of the royal capital to the death as the commander of the Dark Knights!"

Xu Bai said loudly.

Except for the king, the expressions of everyone present froze, but then recovered.

Are you sure that you, the polished commander, no matter how powerful you are, can stop the entire Holy City's security mission by yourself?

It's just that although everyone thought so, they didn't say it out loud.

The commander of the Dark Knights, with his reputation, it is not unusual for him to do anything.

Perhaps, I might even be able to give you some extra chores.

Everyone had strange expressions.

On the throne, only the corners of the old king's mouth showed an arc that was difficult for everyone to detect.

Sighed quietly.

........

After reciting a solemn oath, Xu Bai reached out and poked the commander of the Flower Knights standing behind him.

Indicate the other party to express their position.

"Yam, take your dirty hands away."

The commander of the Flower Knights is a beauty, but he has a hot temper, which does not give Xu Bai, the commander of the Dark Knights, any face.

Despite what she said, her body also took a step forward.

A solemn oath was also read out.

She is different from Xu Bai. The Flower Knights in her hands are serious knights.

Although the members are all women.

But its combat effectiveness is no worse than the Forbidden Army of the Holy City.

When the leader of the knights spoke, several princes and princesses automatically ignored Xu Bai's previous remarks.
