Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 "Even if the kingdom should be indifferent, never turn yourself into a person like an ice cube. Try to love life, love your own life, and don't let your life be trapped in power and unable to extricate yourself."

The Stuarts in Ruen also heard the new rules announced by Sarhi II. Because Dolores was in direct contact with the ring, she had some guesses about other power symbols in her heart and acted on it. A new arrangement has been made.

　　 As for Salot Stuart and his younger siblings, they probably guessed that it was Dolores’s side that made new progress, and the current defense of the city obviously has nothing to do with gaining kingdom power symbols.

　　 "We can't fight this battle."

　　 This is what Salot said personally on the chessboard screen. Compared to just now, he now doesn't want to waste manpower on such meaningless things.

　　 So he reduced the current defensive manpower near the old city wall, and urgently mobilized about one-third of the army to the city to encircle the low hills where the royal palaces were located.

On the other hand, because Dolores mobilized almost all of the army and manpower into the palace, it is equivalent to cede the entire city of Ruen to Salot, so Salot can easily search for those related to the royal family. To find the possible artifacts leading to the throne.

　　 "Your eldest son has gone the wrong way."

　　 Jenkins beside the chessboard gently shook his head and tapped the chessboard with his fingers:

"I bet that there is at least one symbol of power in the army outside the city. If he can actively deploy defenses and show his aura and ability as the heir of this country, that item is definitely his. Now he Now that he has a clear idea of ​​letting the Legion enter the city, he definitely can't see that."

　　 "But I still have a bribe coin in my brother's hand."

　　 reminded a princess at the table.

"Yes, but if you want to bribe with coins, you should at least see the person who was bribed. Now Salot will probably not be able to see it. I think you will definitely arrange for those who hold important objects in advance to appear at the most. The right occasion."

　　 The second half of the sentence was for King Salhi II, and the king nodded slightly when he heard the words:

　　 "If you were my son, that would be great."

　　 This sentence is suspected of cursing, but it also coincides with the famous saying that visitors from a foreign land have heard in the past. Therefore, although he felt uncomfortable, Jenkins did not question the phrase "father-in-law".

　　 Seeing that Jenkins didn't say anything, Salhi II said again:

"Yes, every power symbol that symbolizes the glory of the Kingdom of Hampavo has a corresponding person guarding it. Rodbye was easily found by Dolores, and it was indeed beyond my expectation. As far as this matter is concerned, this match is also unfair to me, because you, Viscount Williams, I suspect you know everything in advance."

　　 "No, I don't know anything."

　　 Jenkins denied it, and Sarhi II said with emotion to the princesses at the table:

　　"Being able to lie without blushing is also an indispensable ability to become a king.

Chapter 1715 Chapter 1688 The First Weapon Prop

　　 In the rest of this round, Dolores still failed to find another power symbol from the royal palace. She even found the queen of Hampavo, who was usually very low-key, the stepmother of most of the Stuarts, but the young woman didn't seem to know what Dolores was looking for.

　　Dolores knew that Jenkins had the ability to distinguish lies, so she deliberately asked her directly:

　　 "Did your father leave your important belongings for safekeeping while he was away from Luen?"

　　 The young queen immediately denied that, Jenkins therefore understood that she was lying, and that Salhi II definitely left her something important.

"I got one from the Duke of Rodbyr, the queen has one here, and there is a high probability in the northern guard army outside the city, so there will be three, is it that simple... "

　　 He thought about it, and then got the answer:

　　 "Although you can win victory by winning three items, there are definitely more than three items left by Sarhi II."

　　 Outside the palace, Salot Stuart and his younger siblings were also unable to find anything by simply searching. However, thanks to sufficient manpower, after controlling the police station loyal to Dolores, although the armed policemen who escaped into the palace at the last moment were not caught, the chess pieces on the side of Sarhi II are quite the same at the moment. Yu wiped out all the power of Dolores outside the palace.

　　 This can be expected, after all, there are only three chess pieces on Jenkins's side, and even two of the princesses are only equivalent to beautiful decorations.

　　 Before the end of this round, the forward of the Royal Guards appeared on the edge of the city of Ruen, representing that this force entered the arena completely. They appear on the chessboard as white stars, which probably represents neutrality.

　　 At the same time, the envoy sent by the Great Prince successfully contacted them, but has not yet returned to the prince.

　　 The dark night enveloped Nolan, because the Nolan clock tower was destroyed, so I heard the unfamiliar bell. But there is also a wall clock in the room now. With the twelfth ringing of the wall clock, it represents the beginning of the second half of the night and also represents a peaceful chess game, and war will finally begin.

"Soon the messenger will be able to return to Salot and bring him the conditions of the Northern Legion. Salot promised to release the army into the city and promise not to interfere with the army's operations in the city. But in exchange, the army wants Lend him some manpower to surround the palace."

　　 Salxi II just finished speaking, and the princess who beat his back behind him couldn't help sighing.

　　 "Yani, do you have anything to say?"

　　 The king asked his daughter.

　　 "You know your brother well, and you know what he will do."

　　 Yanni Stuart responded.

　　 "Yes, Salot will definitely do this."

　　 Salxi had a look of disappointment on his face. He was originally not in good spirits due to physical reasons. At this moment, speaking with this expression makes the man even more old and fragile.

"Salot gave up blocking the entry of the Northern Legion into the city. After leaving the necessary manpower to patrol the city, he would encircle the palace with his own army and demand Dolores surrender. After receiving a refusal, he will The steam cannons found in the armory were mobilized."

　　 Even a small caliber steam cannon is not easy to move. Therefore, at the end of this round, Salot may not be able to see this weapon outside the palace, which is considered to have bought some time for Dolores.

　　 "I'm curious, can the prince really give orders to bombard the palace?"

　　 Jenkins wondered.

　　 Salhi II did not speak, so the eldest princess explained for her father:

　　 "Big brother is a decisive person who is good at making decisions. Although he is not a bad person, he can always make the decision that is most in line with the status quo when he encounters a choice of interests."

　　 This is not a derogation, the comments of the princess are still neutral. Jenkins shook his head:

　　 "Just say it is cruel, I like simpler adjectives."

　　 Seeing that Salhi II wanted to speak, Jenkins said again:

"I know that history is always written by victors. Victors who are cruel and cruel will be packaged in history books as decisive, but fate makes him have to make those disgusting choices; indecisive victors will be packaged as benevolence in history books. Good saints, in the face of choice, can give up their interests and choose sensibility...This is the fun of history."

　　 "This is what I want to tell you."

　　 Salhi II said to the three princesses again, looking at Jenkins a little more inquiring:

"I'm very curious. You obviously don't understand the unspoken rules of the upper class. Why do you understand this knowledge that is less likely to be touched by civilians? Oh, I don't believe you have read how to become an emperor or how to overthrow an empire in the Church of the Sage. As far as I know, no one will write such knowledge."

　　 "I just happened to hear the whisper from the void."

　　 Jenkins replied softly, but there was also some loneliness on his face. Although he knew that it was impossible to return to the past world, in the past, apart from a few friends such as Li Gan, there was nothing worthy of his attention, but it was his hometown after all.

　　Chocolate noticed Jenkins' emotions and tapped the back of his hand with his tail as a comfort. Jenkins smiled at his cat. He knew that the world already had people and cats that he needed to care about.

　　 "Then do you want to use props?"

　　 He asked the king who looked lonely on the other side.

"Yes it is."

　　 This time, Salhi II took out a silver table knife. It was a normal style. If it was thrown on the knife rack in the kitchen, it would be indistinguishable from the normal tableware.

　　 "Tableware is used to cut food, but for the whole world, who is not food?"

　　Salhi II sighed softly, holding the knife and gently placing it on the edge of the chessboard:

"This is to be used as a weapon to protect my son Salot Stuart. He can use this weapon only when he is threatened by his life. This weapon can easily cut any metal and break any armor."

　　Sarhi II knew his son’s character, so he restricted the use of knives. As for the original purpose of the table knife, Jenkins couldn't tell what it was, because it had no distinctive features in appearance. But its original role should not be very strong, otherwise the role that Salhi II gave it in the game will not only be "particularly sharp".

　　 "You finally started giving weapons."

　　 Jenkins said with emotion.

　　 "You can also send it, I don't mind."

　　 The king of Northland replied.

　　 "You know I'm here to see you, it's impossible to carry weapons on your body."

　　 "But I know that your benefactors have many ways to hide weapons. Let me see, would you put your hand in your pants pocket and take out an arm-length sword?"

Chapter 1716 The first thousand six hundred and eighty-nine chapters are coming

　　 "Some gifters have similar powers, but not everyone has them."

　　 It is impossible for Jenkins to slap the skeleton sword on the table now, and the cane is taken away by Alexia. He really doesn't have the weapon to support Alexia, so the above is the truth.

"Then it's my turn. Now that Dolores has also noticed that the palace is surrounded, of course she has to listen to her elder brother's intentions first. Dolores will not surrender, but it is clear that Salot will do What kind of choice. Now that the troops are far less than the opponent, Dolores and her sisters decided to use the unique terrain of the royal palace complex to deploy defenses and counterattacks..."

　　 He put his hand into his pocket, and then took out a candle. The other four people in the room saw that the candle was jumping in flames when it was taken out of the pocket. Salhi II smiled, thinking that Jenkins was lying just now.

"The deep night conceals the rebellion and murder, but the light that will eventually come will surely illuminate everything that covers our eyes. This candle will work throughout the entire scene. During the continuous effect, all and Dolores Si Tuyat’s people in the same camp automatically gain the ability equivalent to [Weak Darkvision]; at the same time, clean light will give life, everyone in the Dolores camp, under any light shining, will be Possess the passive ability to "accelerate regeneration"."

　　The candle was firmly placed on the table, and Salhi II stared at it until the candle was assimilated by the chessboard and became a prop recognized by the chessboard:

　　 "What exactly is this? Why can it be endowed with such a powerful function?"

　　 "This is just a candle."

　　 Jenkins replied.

　　 This candle is the gift of [Purification Candle] and [Endless Fire], after Jenkins personally merged it, although it looks ordinary, even if it is taken out, it will not be found in connection with the **** of lies. But the power of this first gift that Jenkins has is definitely not as ordinary as its appearance.

"Look, although Dolores has fewer manpower than Salot, with the blessing of candles and the effect of the glasses I just gave, I think even if Salot tunes in a steam cannon in the next round, Don’t want to break the palace easily—unless he actually razes the buildings on the hill to the ground."

　　 did not express any opinion on this, but looked at the chessboard.

　　 The arrival of midnight did not make Ruen more peaceful under the night. On the contrary, the steps and shouts on the street awakened most of the citizens of the city. The army in Salot’s hands guaranteed martial law throughout the city, and as Salhi II said, after receiving the letter sent back by the messenger from the army outside the city, Salot Stuart made the city’s defense The troops gave up the defense and went into the city and surrounded the royal palace.

　　 Salot Stuart also thought of the possibility of the Northern Legion having a power symbol. After the Legion entered the city, he also deliberately used "cooperation" as the reason to meet with the Duke of Rwanda, the commander of the Legion. The old duke who was quite trusted by Salhi II was very surprised at the appearance of the prince in Luen, but he denied that Salhi II had entrusted any items for him to keep.

　　 Now Salot also has a coin that can be used as a bribe. Of course he can use this coin to bribe the Duke now. But if the Duke really told the truth just now, once the bribery was made, the coin would not come back. After thinking twice, Salot chose to believe the words of the Duke of Rwanda.

　　 "Jenkins, do you think that Uncle Rwanda has artifacts left by his father in his hands?"

　　 Yanni at the table asked Jenkins, and Jenkins shook her head:

"of course not."

　　 What the Duke said just now was the truth.

　　 "It seems that you know me well."

　　 Salhi II said.

　　 Because of the effect of the props used by the king in the first two rounds, Salot also tried to persuade the Northern Legion to be loyal to them. But even with item bonuses, their speech skills were still not enough to persuade the vicissitudes of legion commander.

　　 He has only one purpose tonight, to cleanse the unfaithful in the city according to the list of Sarhi II.

　　 In the palace, Dolores and her two sisters actively organized the army to deploy defenses. There are many followers of Dolores, some of them hide outside waiting for the opportunity, and most of those who enter the palace have combat power to join the battle.

　　 When the bell rang at midnight, Dolores organized her speech. She announced to her followers and those soldiers who trusted her that she would fight for the crown.

　　 Dolores herself has a strong appeal. Before meeting Jenkins, her abilities have been demonstrated. Although all the graceful princesses were shown in front of Jenkins, she never lost her ability.

　　 On this hot summer night, with the help of her sister and many followers, she stood at the center of power in this country and spoke out her ambition to pursue the throne. Although she is not very young, Princess Dolores Stuart succeeded in uniting people's hearts. Her loud speech, under the influence of extraordinary power, was transmitted to the ears of thousands of people along with the night breeze.

　　 People cheered and applauded the determination of the princess. At that moment, the sixteen-year-old princess seemed to be the brightest star on this unusual night.

　　 "Look, this is my daughter."

　　 Salhi II of Nolan smiled and said to Jenkins.

　　 "Yes, but she will be mine soon."

　　 Jenkins also laughed.

　　 Yanni behind Salhi II tried to control her laughter. She was behind her father, so as long as she didn't laugh out loud, it was much more difficult for the other two princesses at the table not to laugh.

　　 This is the first round after midnight. Although the night is deep, no matter whether it is Roon or Nolan, the people who participated in this duel have no desire to fall asleep.

　　 At the end of the cut-off round, all the northern guards appeared on the chessboard, and the elite parts of them had already entered the city. On the other hand, Salot completely gave up the defense of Ruen, and after reaching an agreement with the army commander who entered the city, he mobilized his power to the periphery of the palace.

　　 The people of Nolan can see from the chessboard that the fire is appearing in the city of Ruen. The purpose of the Northern Legion's entry into the city today is to kill people and destroy the door, so they don't care about the methods used.

　　 From the perspective of looking down on Luen from the largest picture, the dots of fire have been lit up in the city, and Luen tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

　　 On the small hill under the royal palace, the original Ruen City Defense Forces and a small number of soldiers from the Northern Guards Corps have expanded their encirclement. The first exchange of fire started with a firearm that had escaped. But the exchange did not last long. The Salot side fully realized the significance of their ancestors building the palace on the hill in the city.

　　 There is no weapon of the size of a steam cannon. The number of soldiers on their side is not enough to open the road leading to the palace's main gate with their lives.

　　 "Obviously, you should be looking for the clues you left separately, and then each used bravery and wisdom to prove their abilities, and raced against time to achieve victory before dawn, but now the two armies are facing each other."

　　 Jenkins at the table sarcastically said, "This is probably not what you want to see, right?"

　　 "I really don't want to see this, but I also understand their character, and it is in my expectation that things will become like this."

　　 The king said softly, and then stretched his hand to the side of the chessboard, away from the position of the palace:
