Step out of a cave in the northern part of Twilight City, with the rough sea on your left and the unresident colony on your right.

Standing on a high place and looking around, you can see the forests that covered the mountains a few years ago, the seven seven or eight that have long been cut down by the immigrants who have moved here, countless simple wooden houses or stone houses, and occasionally a small concrete building, scattered between the city and the mountains.

In such a complex of buildings, there is a crumbling shack, lonely in the bushes, long forgotten by the surroundings.

"King Twilight, I'm sorry to have 'invited' you in this way. Under the low roof, Claurence, bowed to Todd, smiling.

Todd, who was paralyzed, rolled his eyes, looked at the girl next to him, and asked with difficulty, "What did you do to me?"

Cralorence poured himself a glass of red wine and said gently, "A sea serpent's venom, diluted is an excellent anesthetic, but don't worry, you can resume your actions in three hours." ”

Todd fixed his gaze on Grass's heavy robes, thought for a while, and said, "I have some impression of you, the pilgrimage banquet of the nobles of the Silver Ring, you were there that day!"

"Hah! I said it a long time ago!" Sabrina jumped up in front of Grassenne with the expression I knew, and said, "It's strange that you're still wearing such strange clothes in such a warm weather, and you're not noticed!"

Ignoring the girl's taunt, Lawrence said, "Your Majesty, I've always wanted to talk to you. ”

Todd slowed his tone: "If it's just talking, you can come to me directly." Every Thursday afternoon, I set aside some time to meet with those in need at the Order's headquarters. ”

Clorence smiled and dismissed the proposal: "No, no, no, Your Majesty, you may not know, I am a shy person who stands with others......"

Sabrina tilted her head and interrupted the Great Elder's words, "Hey, you should know that this guy is stalling for time, right?"

"Your biggest problem is to lose your fun, I've told you several times, some things become very boring once they are broken. Lawrence sighed: "Well, since this has been said, Your Majesty, let's talk about business." ”

"Twilight's current situation is like that of a wealthy merchant swaggering through the slums. As a king, you have no aristocratic background and no family protection. The only strength you can rely on is a thousand-strong order of knights, and once they are defeated, the fate of Twilight City is only destruction. ”

Clawrence looked at the dazzling robe on Todd's body, and his tone was slightly mocking: "Your Majesty, the establishment of the Kingdom of Twilight originated from the Ken of the Heavenly Father Church, if you can follow the will of the church, then naturally everyone will be fine." However, the act of taking in the xenomorphs and scholars has completely deteriorated the relationship between the two, and the reason why the Church is still conniving at you is only to use your army to reduce the strength of the rebels. ”

"King, who will help you when you lose your usefulness? No one will come, because you have no allies!"

Todd looked at a man and a woman in front of him, and suddenly asked, "You're from the Council of Elders?"

"That's right, you're a smart man. ”

Todd thought for a moment and asked, "What does the Council of Elders want from the kingdom?"

Lawrence and Sabrina looked at each other and said one word in unison: "Successor." ”

——————————————

Alfonso swung his sword and slashed the spider-like web of blood in front of him, opening the way for the team to move forward.

He turned to his subordinates and said, "What about the Elemental Inheritor, why hasn't he come up yet?!"

"Sir, the sewers are full of people, there are soldiers, and people who want to help, and they can't catch up!"

Alfonso looked at the dense "blood net" in front of him, gritted his teeth and ordered: "I can't wait for those reinforcements! Let the people behind send kerosene, dog fat, and everything that can be burned." ”

Walton looked up at Leslie beside him, still with a little doubt in his words, "You mean, you're a member of the Council of Elders?!"

The latter nodded.

"One of the Great Elders has ordered you to follow Master Alfonso and monitor his every move. Walton swallowed: "And that pervert turned the adult's wife into a monster, indirectly killed his child, and put the shackles of 'dragon bone' on him." All this just because it's fun?!"

Leslie nodded again.

"You are all a bunch of crazy people......" Walton clenched the crossbow in his hand and closed his eyes in pain: "I treat you as my best brother, if it weren't for you, a fool would come here to save people!"

Leslie's body shook slightly, and he didn't speak.

Leaving the task of clearing the passage to the guards, Alfonso took a few steps back and rested.

He looked at Leslie and slammed his sword at the ground: "I saved your life before, and you saved me once today, and from now on you and I will not owe each other." ”

Leslie looked into Alfonso's eyes, which gradually lost their light.

"If you want to know why I'm staying in Twilight, I can tell you. Alfonso's words were resounding: "Years ago, I lost my wife and my children, but according to the teachings, I could not end my life. So, the only thing that left the meaning of existence for me was revenge and prejudice. So, hating all the injustices in this world, with the consciousness of destruction, looking for the entrance to death, is my destiny. ”

"After that, Adlina used her life to save my soul and bring my dead heart out of the mire. Her sacrifice taught me that tragedy and bad luck are not an excuse for the unfortunate to feel sorry for themselves, they should be my warning to save those who share the same fate from misfortune!"

Alfonso touched the badge of the "umbrella" on his chest with his hand, and said softly: "My life no longer belongs to me, and the will of my wife, children and best friends is the driving force for me to live." ”

Leslie's eyes were filled with tears: "My lord, if this is the fate you have chosen, then let me follow to the end." ”

Alfonso was about to say more, when the shouts of the guards diverted his gaze.

"Enemy!"

A black figure stood up from the Blood Carpet, his finger pointing at the guards, a low roar coming out of his mouth.

In the next second, thousands of blood-colored worms attacked from all directions and jumped into the crowd.

The two closest heir guards only had time to cut off a few bugs before they were thrown to the ground by the swarm and gnawed until only the skeleton remained.

Alfonso shouted, "Ignition!"

The guards who reacted, took off the kerosene and other fuel from their waists, and instead of dumping into the swarm, they poured on top of their own armor and weapons.

The sparks that burst out of the flint and steel ignited the oil, and the hot flames surrounded the bodies of the heirs' guards, forming a "flame barrier" on them. The "keel" isolates and absorbs high temperatures, which protects the safety of the human body in the armor.

The "Flaming Sword" swung past, the burning worms turned into charcoal, and the cannibalistic monsters could not hide wherever the "Flame Armor" passed.

Alfonso saw the moment and lunged forward, slashing the figure with his two-handed sword, the latter's body slashed in two, ignited by flames like firewood.

"Defeat the enemy!" a guard shouted as he raised his weapons and shields.

Leslie rushed to the front and shouted, "No! it's just a corpse controlled by bugs!

As soon as the words fell, a swarm of worms pounced on the guards again, causing another death.

Then, a dozen or so corpses stood up from the "blood blanket", spitting out countless newly hatched worms from their mouths.

Alfonso shouted as he brandished his greatsword, "Where are the controllers of these bugs?!"

Leslie picked up the slingshot, loaded it with explosive ammunition, and struck directly at the corpse's chest, replying, "Go forward!

Fifteen meters.

The distance of an ordinary walk is only ten seconds, and it takes the heir of the Twilight Kingdom Konoe a full ten minutes.

Kerosene, torches, explosives...... The guards used all means of attack, costing dozens of lives and killing countless bugs, until they finally reached a gap in the sewer wall.

A hole was dug into the stone wall by a huge force, connecting to a natural underground cave.

After walking a few meters along the cave, everyone finally saw a huge insect cocoon in the air, countless corpses were hung high around the insect cocoon, and countless insect eggs were covered with the body.

Covered in bruises, Alfonso grabbed a worm that had burrowed into a gap in his armor and fell to his death on the stone wall.

Looking at the insect cocoon in mid-air, he took a group of guards, picked up the last oil can, poured it on his body, lit a fire and rushed forward.

Countless insects burrowed out the corpses hanging in mid-air, and they received instructions to protect the mother's body, and became no longer afraid of flames, and successively covered the "flame armor" one after another, and extinguished the flames on the intruders by isolating the air.

Without the protection of the flames, the ensuing battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.

Roars and screams echoed through the cavern.

I don't know how long it took, Alfonso's body was overdrawn, he was the only one left of all the guards who entered the cave, the sword in the knight's hand was just dancing mechanically, and every organ of his body was screaming in despair.

"Is it over?"

The knight fell to his knees, his great sword falling from his hand, and the desire to survive was no longer in his red eyes, and a tidal wave of worms pounced on him.

Rumble!

The blazing fire burst into the cave, scorching everything in the cave with a heat of thousands of degrees, and there was nothing but red flames and bright light in the small space.

Worms, corpses, blood webs, cocoons, as if they had met the snow of the sun, melted, and finally returned to nothingness.

Alfonso covered his eyes with his right hand, the heat was cut off by the keel, but the bright light made him dizzy.

In this light, Alfonso faintly saw a figure through the gap between his fingers, flames erupting from his body, like a firework from heaven, dispelling all the gloom in the darkness.

The figure slowly turned around, and a smiling face with tear stains slowly dissipated in the flames.

"Farewell, sir......

It was also a spring afternoon, and the great sword cut the chains of the prisoner cart, and the knight and Hu Cong met for the first time.

"You're free, get out of here. ”

“......”

"I said you were free!"

“......”

"Don't you have a family?!

“......”

"How long are you going to follow me?!"

"Until the end of life. ”()
