In the darkness of the night, the Grand Adjutant of the Overseer, Alexandra, supported her prefect and master Eugen, appeared at the gates of the Heavenly Dome.

They didn't die ... It was only because of the timely rescue of the second lieutenant of the Imperial Court - or rather, the "puppet of the living dead" controlled by her that she finally saved his life from the hands of the leader of the Night's Watch, Rut Infinit.

Faced with hundreds of living dead, the mortally wounded Ruth Infinit had no escape, and rushed into the crowd with a blank face to kill, wielding daggers and Hidden Blades to fight with the heavily armored royal guards and former subordinates.

Outcome... It certainly goes without saying.

Alexandra watched as the terrified figure was overwhelmed by the crowd, the melody of the clashing swords mixed with the sound of flesh being torn and bones being smashed.

But I didn't hear any wails or screams... Not even once, just silently returned to peace.

With her back to the hall and Eugen on her back, she hurried away, never to see a figure come out of the gate again.

Perhaps, this is what he was hoping for... Died defending the Heavenly Dome Palace, defending his emperor.

Maybe... He is more qualified than himself to call himself the number one assassin in the world, a samurai who fights for honor.

Alexandra thought.

It took a full two quarters of an hour for the scattered elven warriors to arrive... There were only four or five moving samurai left, and all of them were seriously wounded.

Although no one spoke, they could already think of what happened to their companions who had not yet returned.

Eugen, with a blue face, sat on the ground and said nothing.

"Alas...... The elite of the Governor's Court and the Imperial Court came out together, and even the Emperor's dormitory had not been breached, and only three or two of these kittens were left dead. Playing with the short knife in her hand, the elf girl with long dark blue hair laughed unabashedly:

"Shame, shame, it's a disgrace! ”

Eugen's complexion was hard to see.

"Shame, no matter how shameful you are, you can't compare to the warriors of your court, right?" Alexandra snorted lightly, glancing disdainfully at the elf girl who was still gloating there: "No matter how ugly we fight, at least we have completed Your Majesty's mission." ”

"Woodwoods, Lothair, Byrne... Compared to the waste of the Imperial Court who failed to complete a single mission, it is a world of difference!"

"You, you, you, you, ......?!"

Before the little girl with trembling lips could refute, Alexandra turned her head directly and turned her gaze to the seriously injured elven warriors: "Report the situation, what is going on." ”

"As you can see, Miss Alexandra, we're the only ones left alive right now. The ashen-faced elven warrior held his wound and said in a hoarse voice: "The Empire's 'Oath Knights' and 'Night's Watchmen' are still searching around, and I'm afraid it won't be long before we find out where we are." ”

"What?!, and the enemy is still ......"

"Those 'Knights of Oaths'... Even if you are seriously injured, you can still recover in the blink of an eye - like a monster that can't be killed!"

"We killed a few, but the rest are still unrelenting: broken arms, disembowelments, broken throats, bloodletting... As if they weren't afraid, these madmen came at us with their tattered bodies!"

"And that's not all!" the other elven warrior clung to the hilt of his sword, as if that would restrain his fear, "and their Night's Watch... I don't know what kind of poison is applied to the weapon, but just a little contamination will paralyze the whole body, and I can't mobilize the slightest bit of strength!"

Eugen's eyes were pale with fear and anger.

Alexandra frowned, the strength of the enemy was far beyond her imagination.

"The 'Knights of Oaths' should be the shield of the Holy Cross... Their strength can only be fully displayed in the place where they are sworn to be stationed, and you have yet to see the more terrifying 'Sword of Oath', which is said to be gone. ”

A lazy tone sounded behind the elven warriors, and the milky voice was very cute: "As for the poison of the night watch... It was an alchemy potion that specialized in restraining the power of the void, and unless the 'state of mind' was opened, it would be completely suppressed by the power inside. ”

"And the outer ice barrier... In fact, it is a collection formed by the condensation of a staggering amount of void residues, which is very important for using the power of the void... In other words, the 'way of the samurai' is something that we can naturally restrain ourselves, and if we are not prepared, it is understandable that we accidentally fall into the way......

Bell ——!

The long, narrow, double-edged Azorean knife like a war bow rose horizontally and pressed against the elven girl's jaw, interrupting her words.

"Such an important message, why didn't you report it to us before. Alexandra frowned, with a hint of indignation in her eyes:

"Or are you, as a samurai of the Imperial Court, deliberately sit back and watch the samurai of the Overseer and the Imperial Court sacrifice their lives in vain......

"Alas?!a Speak responsibly, don't talk nonsense!"

Feeling the eyes gathered around her, full of murderous intent, the panicked elf girl didn't want the knife, and threw it directly on the ground;

Looking at her petite and cute, delicate cheeks, Alexandra's expression softened slightly, and the blade in her hand loosened slightly.

Perhaps, I really misunderstood her?

Yes, after all, he's just a kid who likes to play, and he can't compare with an adult like someone who already has great ambitions......

"——! Growth"

Taking advantage of the moment when her expression was in a trance, the elf girl who seized the opportunity moved her eyebrows, raised her saber lightly with her right foot, and at the same time as swinging the jaw blade, her figure had already flashed three steps away.

"As for why I didn't tell you this, of course it's because you didn't ask......"

It was still milky, simple and lovely, but at this moment, in Alexandra's ears, it was no less than the devil's wicked smile: "People are just small second lieutenants of the imperial court, if you don't ask, how do I know which one should be reported and which one should not be reported?"

"Of course, now they know it's time to tell you—after all, you're going to die!"

Smack——!

Alexandra clenched the hilt of her hand tightly, revealing the bruises on her white arms.

You shouldn't be lucky with this little girl!

The guys who came out of the Imperial Court, one counted, all of them were villains who had no glory to speak of, and none of them were real samurai except for the blind chief lord!

Just as she was about to give the order to take down this damn little girl in the court, Eugen behind her suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Master Eugen ——!?"

The Overseer didn't look at him, but looked directly at the elven girl who was still grinning across from her.

"It's just a 'little second lieutenant', isn't it......" Eugen said slowly, "In other words, if you were the second lieutenant of the Imperial Court, you would be able to convey information to us accurately, right?"

"Huh?" the elf girl was stunned.

"This time, we have broken through the Heavenly Dome Palace, killed the Emperor, and exterminated the elite of the Night's Watch... With these, it shouldn't be a problem for you to be promoted to the second seat of the Imperial Court. ”

"Oh...... Really, really, really?!" The girl couldn't help herself with excitement, and her big eyes widened:

"You want your Majesty the Eagle King... Promoted to become the second seat of the Imperial Court?!"

"Don't want to?"

"Yes, of course!" Raising her head suddenly, the elven girl's eyes seemed to glow, "How happy it would be if Middel knew that his favorite Shira had succeeded him!"

Looking at her dancing appearance, Alexandra on the side snorted coldly:

"yes, it's a pity he's dead. ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as people always keep Middel in their hearts, Middell is immortal. Sheila waved her hand absently:

"The point is that you have to keep your promises and do what you say, otherwise people will not know if they are right or ...... if they are in a bad mood."

Boom ——!

There was a loud bang, and the door outside the hiding place was blown open.

“...... Wrong. The petite Sherra's face stiffened, and her body trembled slightly.

The few remaining elven warriors changed color and instinctively pressed the hilt of their swords.

Without exception, they were poisoned by the Night's Watch's blade, or irreversibly wounded while crossing the ice barrier... In other words, the long knife in their hands and the skills they have honed over the years are the only strength they have left to fight against them.

These... In the face of an almost unkillable enemy, it is clearly not enough.

A trembling Alexandra turned her head and looked at the Overseer behind her: "Master Eugen, we ......"

"The second seat of the Imperial Court... I have a few questions for you, Your Excellency. ”

Holding down his apprentice quietly, Eugen looked coldly at the elf girl who was still gloating just now, but at the moment she had no master: "Those 'shields of defense'... Is it impossible to be killed no matter what?"

"Theoretically, it shouldn't be... They are only extremely tenacious in life, and the only one who truly has an immortal body is the Sword of Oath. Shera panicked, "Even if it's the Sword of Oath, the power of the void attached to the curse can cause him harm. ”

"Very good, second question... This kind of poison that will plague us can be removed by opening the 'state of mind'?"

"Yes, but once the 'state of mind' is lifted, it will cause the side effects of secondary damage, and it is irreversible to a certain extent!" Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer outside, Sheila almost screamed: "I can only rely on my body to recover slowly!"

"Master Eugen, let's retreat for the time being!" Alexandra finally couldn't help but shout, "The mission has been completed, there is no reason to continue......"

"No reason?!"

Eugen turned his head sharply, and his hideous and terrifying gaze instantly made his apprentice shut his mouth.

"The dignified warrior of the four courts, being chased and killed like a dog by a group of miscellaneous people, you tell me there is no reason?!"

"The chief of the dignified superintendent's court, he barely managed to save a life by bullying more and less, you tell me there is no reason?!"

"We killed their emperor, and these bastards not only didn't fear us, but dared to pounce on us, bite us, kill us, you actually told me... No reason?!"

"I tell you, that's the reason—that's the reason why they are brazenly wielding their swords at our honor, treating us as beings equal to their vile fools!"

"I'm not going to run away like a reservoir dog, I'm going to prove that I want to show that damned ghost of Rut Infinit with his own eyes, and let him know that he's wrong, and he's wrong!"

Eugen, whose face was red and his eyes were bloodshot, gasped, and slowly stood up with a long knife to support his body: "I want to let his subordinates cry before they die, so that he will regret it... Regret provoking me, provoking me, humiliating me——!!!!"

The footsteps were still approaching, and the shouts of the Knights of the Oath could already be heard, and the exclamations of the night watchmen.

The puppets of the living dead in the main hall have been exterminated;

The hiding place of the elven assassins was also completely dug up.

Eugen's eyes widened and the long knife in his hand was waved.

"Boom ——!!!!"

The icy cold air cracked out of thin air around his body!

The expressions of the elven warriors around him changed abruptly - there were no surprises, only fear.

Not only around Eugen, but also with the surrounding air and temperature!

Doors, floors, ceilings, walls... Even outside the window, a cold wind was blowing, and countless crystal six-petal crystals were wafting under the clear night sky.

Shira, whose hair stood on end, hugged her shoulders and shivered, suddenly remembered what Middel had talked to him about a long time ago about why the famous "Eugen" was able to entrench himself as the head of the Overseer for several years.

“...... Don't be deceived by appearances, little Sherra, and don't be imprisoned by the mindset in your mind. ”

"The reason why Lord Eugen became the chief of the Overcourt is not because of his background, nor because of his arrogance, or because he was favored by the Eagle King, but the reason for everything is simple......"

"Wielding the blade of the 'Spiritual Celestial Phenomenon', or Lord Eugen after opening his state of mind, his strength is comparable to that of an army, and in layman's terms, it is ......"

"One of them is a whole army!"

Boom ——!!!!

There was another explosion, and Xuela, who was suddenly awakened, opened her eyes in shock.

The cold ice has spread all over all the corners of the gate of the Heavenly Dome Palace!

"Master Eugen......" Alexandra, who was shivering in the cold wind, raised her head with difficulty and looked at the chief of the Overseer: "What do you want ......?"

"If you still have the energy, leave as soon as possible... I can't guarantee that it won't affect you next. Eugen, who had a fierce gaze, said sharply:

"I have to make a deep impression on these scum so that they will always remember ......"

"Tonight... We've breached their palace!"

"Tonight... We killed their emperor!"

"Tonight! We... The samurai of the Azores, officially declared war on them——!!!!"
