Far from the east coast of Zeber, on the edge of the green forest, there is a lookout fortress on the cliff that was once used to defend against the orc islands of the Eastern Sea.

The orc ships have landed year after year, and this clan is warlike, violent, and greedy, plundering and encroaching everywhere.

But time passed, and there were no more orcs on the abandoned island, and the fortress was abandoned - dressed in vine-clad garments and surrounded by new greenery. If you don't look closely, you won't find this building at all.

Most Andoo people have forgotten about it, but Rodney learned about it through his experience of reading historical documents.

"Please stay here, Felicia," the daylight shone through the hole in the ceiling like an oil lamp in the almost half-broken hall of the fortress. Rodney said to the eldest princess affectionately, and then also saluted King Charles respectfully, "And Your Majesty." ”

King Charles clasped his hands and made a disdainful sound. The wound that broke his head and bleed from hitting the magic wall before has been restored by the healing potion, "Don't think that if you do this, we will be grateful to Dade!" You're the one who threw my kingdom into turmoil! Rodney, Standy lackey. ”

And the eldest princess remained silent, and at the moment she had more hatred for Rodney.

"I don't expect you to forgive me, but you'll understand," Rodney said politely, "Isn't it nice that a small country is more important than life, and that you can spend the rest of your life at ease and away from the tedious state affairs?" ”

"Don't be ashamed," King Charles's anger made him unable to calm down and say a word, "Why don't you go to live an ordinary life!?" Isn't what you're doing after power and status? ”

"At first," Rodney replied with a smile, but looked at Felicia, "The original goal in life was like that, but now my life goal has changed, and power has other uses for me, you will be safe, with me, no matter how fierce the conflict between countries is, you will be safe, and no country's power can harm you..."

Rodney tried to get closer, but Felicia retreated, but that didn't bother him much.

"Well, as time goes by, you will understand, even if it is not me who invades the Kingdom of Andu today, it will be another commander, and then you will not have a way to live, it is because of me that you can survive." Rodney turned around and opened the magic circle in front of him to leave, "The five of them will guard here, and there is almost no opponent for them among the people currently alive in the Andu Kingdom, unless it is Xia Zuo and his slaves, heh... No matter what, they won't come to this door, because no one knows about it. I'll be back when I'm done dealing with the affairs of the royal capital. ”

Rodney disappeared from view through the portal, which shrunk from a large circle to a dot.

The five people he was referring to were the five gifted soldiers who guarded King Charles and Felicia, all of whom had followed Rodney in the past, and would never betray them.

In addition, he is also the most powerful warrior in Rodney's team, each of whom has a great talent for magic, and one person is equivalent to an ordinary army of hundreds of people.

King Charles approached Felicia and asked if she was hurt, and Felicia shook her head.

Five soldiers stood around them, following them, and as long as they were inside the fortress, King Charles and Felicia were free, which was what Rodney had asked of his soldiers.

King Charles looked at those people with trepidation, almost all of them had the scars left by the war years, which extended to their faces, adding a bit of solemnity to their taciturn and silent people.

The two of them are not very comfortable, and they don't know where to go next - in this ruined hall with a red carpet and blackened red carpet, they don't even know where their daily living places and supplies are... Probably these five soldiers, when the time comes, will be ready.

At this time, it was confirmed that Rodney was gone, and the familiar and hateful magical aura of the portal was gone, and the lizard hidden in the hem of King Charles's clothes fell to the ground.

Unlike crows or slightly larger animals, lizards are unable to speak. That didn't attract much attention from King Charles, and a dirty gecko crawling on his body was no worse than his current situation.

Until a burst of light enveloped the lizard and transformed it into a human form, King Charles was dumbfounded.

"What man!?" Five guards sprang into action, instantly keeping the two royals behind - cut off from the mysterious avatar.

“... Palmer!? King Charles shouted excitedly, recognising the shape of the light.

The eldest princess also looked at this scene in amazement.

Until the light cleared, Palmer's doppelganger revealed an appearance that was indistinguishable from his own.

"Aren't you dead?" King Charles rubbed his eyes incredulously.

But before they could respond, the guards began to purge the intruders.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm already on my way—" Palmer calmly recounted.

Pushed away by the roaring storm magic, it slammed into the distant wall - the result of being attacked by only one of the guards.

The reason why only one person attacked was because they all sensed that the enemy's magical aura was so weak that it was really not a threat...

King Charles and the eldest princess both showed expressions of confusion, why did Palmer lose so easily!?

Suddenly, the five guards looked upwards in a creepy manner, and it was a very powerful magical aura, and it was still increasing, as if a small seedling had grown into a big tree.

Seeing this, King Charles and the eldest princess also raised their heads, only to see a man in a black robe floating there in the broken ceiling of the fortress hall, slowly descending.

"Is that you? ... Palmer? King Charles asked.

The black-robed man wore no hood, and his countenance, which was almost 100 years old, reminded King Charles of Palmer, but when did he age like this?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm here..."Palmer smiled a little hideously, this is his body, it didn't take too long, but most of his magic ability had been restored, and he used the "flying" magic, and he followed the location of the doppelganger from the king, and they all rushed here.

The original doppelganger has turned into the tiny dead lizard.

The five soldiers did not attack immediately this time, because the enemy was extraordinary, no longer as weak as before, and had to wait for a foolproof opportunity, and a rash move would only break the cooperation of a few people.

They glanced at each other in unison, and the soldiers in the lead gave orders with gesticulating to prepare to deal with Palmer.

And Palmer finished chanting the incantation in his heart, but he only raised his hand, and did not even use his staff.

The inexplicable purple flames enveloped the five people, as if the five people had spontaneously combusted.

Wailing and helpless struggles, the five men quickly fell, and the purple light flashing out of their bodies shone on the terrified faces of King Charles and the eldest princess, and soon, the five soldiers were wiped out in the combined heat wave.
