Chapter 33: Threats and Advice
The Empire of Dusk, the "City of Waiting", an alley in the East City District.
The black sharp flicked the long sword, and the flesh and blood rolled off the sword, leaving nothing behind. Beneath his feet was a pile of frozen, unrecognizable flesh and blood. Because the battle took place so suddenly, and the fighting site was very remote, it did not alarm anyone.
Suddenly, the Soul Fire Spirit Monster jumped out from a nearby soul fire and said nervously, "Another one has appeared over there in Snow City!" β
", you actually sent two doppelgangers at once? NPCs also know double insurance? Black Sharp didn't hesitate any longer, and hurried towards the teleportation array. Scolding and scolding, he is still quite happy in his heart, fighting is much better than staying in the palace, not to mention that the target - the clone of the festering dictator - has a high experience value, and can also drop a rare material called "strong bone powder", which can increase the basic defense value of necromantic creatures, which is very profitable.
As he went, the Soul Fire Spirit Monster also used [Teleportation] to follow, shouting, "The other one seems to be in contact with the werewolf!" He opened his force field, and I couldn't find out what they were talking about! β
"Aha!"
The doppelganger of the festering dictator can be seen as a part of his body, but not a fragment of his soul - it has no ability to act independently, and all its actions are controlled remotely by the Buddha-figure. The lack of autonomy of the doppelganger is the innumerable price of the festering dictator's doppelganger. The summons of June Sunshine have a certain degree of autonomy, and if they get the soul of the hero, they can successfully split the soul fragment with an independent personality, which is more advanced than the thousands of clones of the festering dictator from the soul level alone.
However, if the doppelganger and the deity share the same soul, the deity can use the doppelganger as a network to build a weakened version of the soul force field. This soul force field will not get the additional effect of the king's [Dominating Necromancy], and the range of influence is extremely small, but it can ensure the confidentiality of the conversation in the force field, which is simply an unsolvable problem for the soul fire spirit monster in charge of the city's supervision system.
Snow City, the stronghold of the Graytail Brotherhood.
When Black Sharp arrived, he found the Pythagorean clone standing at the door, seemingly waiting for him for a long time. After solving this clone with high-level elite combat power in three or two clicks, Black Sharp walked into the big room, and at a glance saw the werewolf leader sitting on the sofa with a wine glass - "villain" Ethan Gren. There was no one else in the room, and in the darkness, the golden stud in Esengren's left ear reflected slightly from the wine glass in his hand. The werewolf's peculiar aura is so bad that even the noses of the necromantic creatures with a lack of sense of smell are overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty," focused on the sound of these two words, Esengren grinned, "why do you have time to come to me?" β
Black Sharp didn't put away his sword: "Gossip aside, what is that guy doing here?" β
"He tried to woo me, but I didn't agree." Esengren replied cheerfully.
Black Edge hesitated for a moment, and then a crystalline jelly-like object on his bodyβit was Christo, the heat death controller parasitic on himβpoked his head out and asked, "How can you prove what you say?" β
"It's simple, just let your military take away seventy percent of the werewolves. Seventy percent! This number has long exceeded the conscription rate of any country, and even if every acquired werewolf is a natural warrior, it will not be easy for me to take responsibility for this decision. Damn, whoever is rare in this position should hurry up and take it. β
"The problem is that the decision is made by Skower, and you don't take the initiative, you just cooperate." Black Sharp pointed out the loopholes in the other party's words.
Ethan Gren was stunned for a moment, cursed, and said, "Yes." β
After several tosses, the necromantic creatures were short of troops, so Skoll borrowed troops from various friendly forces, and the first one he found was the Acquired Werewolf with a strong physique and able to adapt to the field battlefield. In order to maintain a good relationship, this kind of recruitment has always been superficial, but this time it is different - it is Frankie the Bloodclaw who personally comes to the door and hands the conscription order right under Esengren's nose. As the white, beautiful hand got closer and closer, Ethan Gren made the stupidest and wisest decision, shouting "I agree". Stupidly, many of our compatriots will die because of this; Wisely, he didn't have to die on the spot.
In front of the guardian hero, especially when the hero's spirit is unstable, who can not cooperate?
A lot of things don't make sense. Originally, werewolves were just allies, but now they are almost vassals, and the saying "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" could not be more appropriate. If Esengren is also a hero, because of his influence, the conscription rate is at most 30%.
"I'm a good person, but I won't tolerate any conspiracy or betrayal." Black Edge put away his sword and looked at Esengren deeply: "Whether you take me seriously or not, I want you to understand - I don't care what happens to this country in the future, I only care about how this country is now." β
"Dude, is this a threat?" Ethan Glenn grinned, wolf teeth white.
"That's advice."
Black Edge grinned and turned to leave, preparing for the next meeting on the actual strengthening of security. No one could test anything out of him, and at this moment, he was the ruler of the Dusk Empire.

Fuji Continent, Asaha Country, Night Sakura Castle, Castle Tower.
The predecessor of Night Sakura Castle was just an obscure town, ruled by an equally obscure feudal lord. During the "Doomsday Confrontation", because they did not receive the general's retreat notice, the feudal lords forbade a man or a horse to leave the city, and as a result, more than 1,000 people in the city died heroically. The war was so devastating to the environment that the Santu River flowed out of the ground, creating a cloud of dead air, and the corpses of the city were reduced to necromantic creatures. The oath of the living could not bind the dead, and the feudal lords, who considered themselves loyal, decided to establish a feudal kingdom in this devastated land.
Only a month later, the vassal died at the hands of his most cherished youngest son. Fifteen days later, the new city lord died in an assassination arranged by his brother...... The blood relatives of the feudal clan attacked each other, and in the end, only one of the nephews of the feudal clan remained. To everyone's surprise, the sole heir immediately abdicated his position as lord of the castle and offered his allegiance to an adventurer named Kazuki Ringo.
Looking at the female adventurers standing in front of the stage, some people suddenly understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, and they chose to remain silent; And those who have not yet figured it out are powerless to stop the development of the situation.
Kazuki Ringo became Santohime.
There are many versions of the history of Santu Ji's family, and the above is the one with the least amount of oil and vinegar. At that time, Qingyi sighed when he saw the post: It turns out that the task of founding the country can still be done in this way.
The unscrupulous country was snatched by fists, and now there is almost nothing left but the army; The state of Qingyi was financed by merchants, and now the regular army became mercenaries tied to contracts; The country of Kagetsu Ringo relied on calculation, and now used money rather than force as a national cohesion. Different necromantic kings complete the task of building the country with different means, and then build the country in different ways, each with different gains and losses, which is the character that determines the fate.
"Jun Liu, Sword Soldier, forgive me for being late."
Hanazuki Ringo appeared from behind the ink screen, followed by two maids. She showed off in a samurai woman's outfit, with a hairpin on her hair, a flower cranial on her head, tassels and golden hairpins inserted in her temples, and two locks of black hair hanging down on her temples; She raised her eyebrows, so that the corners of her eyes were raised, and her eyes were high. Just a simple change of clothes and makeup, her temperament will change.
The sword soldier Wuji Chong Qingyi pouted, and he didn't know what he wanted to express. He was not accustomed to kneeling in Japan, so he simply stretched out his legs from under the small table, as much as he wanted to be an eyesore. Fortunately, Kazuki Ringo had just come out of the secret room at the back of the hall, and if he had entered through the main entrance, he would have to stumble over this goods.
"You speak so politely, you look like an ancient Chinese." Qingyi smiled.
"Confucianism is important. Everyone in Japan observes the ceremony, thanks to the sage Confucius. Sitting on the throne, Hanazuki Ringo commanded: "Pour wine for your guests." β
The maids kneeling on the side hurriedly walked on their knees, picked up the clay vase and poured wine for the guests, carefully. The sword soldier Wuji's eyes turned slightly, and Qingyi knew at a glance that this thing was thinking about how to tease the maid, so he quickly made his eyes look - the great gods have come out to walk around, don't embarrass the master at this time! What if Hanazuki Ringo calls for his brother to come back and beat the child!
Although Dao Bing Wuji didn't move his hands and feet, he opened his mouth (Qingyi immediately knew that it was going to be bad): "What is that?" Panties? He was referring to the triangular scarf worn on the head of the maid.
Hanazuki Lin Yi's pretty face was frosty: "Sword Soldier-kun, this is a bit disrespectful to Japanese tradition." β
Qingyi snorted and hurriedly said, "Xue Duo, why are you talking so much!" β
(Xue Duo: "What a lame blame!") βοΌ
Huayue Lin Yi Hua Rong was a little faint and explained: "This is a filial piety scarf made of white grey cloth, which must be torn into squares by hand and then folded diagonally into a triangular scarf. It's not ...... Not panties. Speaking of the back, her tone and face were very strange, with a little shyness and a little murderous.
Next, Hanazuki Ringo introduced the situation of the country of Hana.
Although both Guyu City and Yezakura City were singing and dancing, in fact, the fighting on the front line of Chaohua Country did not stop for a day, and the troops were tight, so that the defense forces of each city were very weak. The source of the war is the Santu River, which has become a paradise of the dead wherever it flows, and terrifies all living beings. This catastrophe involves gods, youkai, and humans, and a great factional conflict erupts. Ebisu, who had seen it before, was a representative of the gods and protected the Asaha country.
(Hearing this, Dao Bing Wuji interjected: "What can a business god do?") βοΌ
(Kazuki Ringo replies, "He is the only god willing to stand with the necromantic creatures, and Ringo is content with all his godhead and abilities.") βοΌ
The Santu River encroaches on the land surface, and the living beings will certainly not remain indifferent. Not to mention the many great gods who went into battle in person, the origin of the main NPC of the camp mission is even more super - the great onmyoji Abe Harumi, which is a great power that also stands out among heroes. The onmyoji rushed to the diversion of the Santu River to destroy the evil creatures that were bred by the dead air, and then suppressed the river.
The ravages of the Santu River were an accident, and Kazuki Ringo did not want to go against the entire "Fuji" because of this, according to her original intention, she would be exempt from war. It's a pity that Abe Harumi has the idea of serving the country and the people, and he must all town the Santu River underground, which is bound to hurt the vitality of the country of Asaka. The contradictions between the two sides were irreconcilable, so Santu Ji had to fight.
"The distinguished guest is here, Lin Yi should have taken the distinguished guest to see all the scenery of Night Cherry Blossom City, but the front-line battle is urgent, and Lin Yi will return to the front line tomorrow to command. I can't do the friendship of the landlord, please forgive me. Kazuki Ringo said, and was about to lean over to apologize, when two shadow hands were already supporting her arms.
At the end of the shadow hand, Qingyi smiled: "Fighting? Let me have a good time with the sword soldiers. β
