It has been several hours since Lu Xi first jumped into the Bloodthirsty King's kingdom, and after he finished overthrowing Parkens, killing a large number of high-ranking members of the Orgrimmar Clan Alliance, including the "Hero of a Hundred Years", plus getting himself a big "territory" and other great deeds, many hours have passed.

Since it was on the battlefield, the soldiers of the coalition forces naturally didn't care too much about Lu Xi's "disappearance" - or the vast majority of soldiers didn't know that Lu Xi was "missing", let alone that he killed a demon god by the way.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the impregnable Thunder Cliff Fortress was breached on all three sides of its walls, and all the fortresses, watchtowers and towers were taken down one by one. As we all know, the main body of the fortress is actually hollowed out and almost a mountain is built inside, and its terrain is so complex that it seems to be a dwarf labyrinthine city. The internal compartments resemble the watertight cabins of the modern ships of Lu Xi's hometown.

Orcs are also worthy of being a "never slave" fighting race, or they are also diehards in the clan alliance in the Thunder Cliff Fortress. In short, when it was clear that the supreme command had been lost, and almost all the dangerous points had been lost, they continued to resist for several more hours.

However, this is just a pointless death throes.

Now, in front of the coalition soldiers, it was the last resistance - a large stone chamber warehouse in the fortress city. The orcs have built temporary barriers on the narrow passageway, and there is a lot of control for everyone, so we just have to resist to the end. Of course, this is also the case. The passage built into the mountain is very narrow and can only accommodate three or five people side by side. Several orcs with huge shields blocked the way on the spot. The centaur shooters began to shoot, and for a moment completely blocked all paths.

The Giant Shield Crossbowmen of the Kingdom of Milan began to try to shoot at the Centaur Marksmen, but with little success. The knights on foot charged with shields, but they did nothing but lose their troops. After several attacks were repulsed, the only ones who appeared inside the fortress outside the battlefield that were still resisting had been replaced by elite Nord heavy warriors.

"So, they're not ready to surrender?" Artoria Pendragon Nord Arnor asked in a deep voice.

She was still clad in her navy-blue fur cloak, ornate plate armor inlaid with gold lace and enamel coats of arms, and her hands were pestled with the golden Sword of Victory. Her sword is a brilliant artifact, and it is difficult to get blood even if you cut down 10,000 people. However, after such a long battle, it was inevitable that the gorgeous armor would inevitably have a little stain and bloodstain, and even fragments of bone and flesh. However, such dust did not affect her beauty and majesty at all. In other words, the heroic posture of fighting bloodily on the front line with ordinary soldiers and knights is the most favorable reason why Artoria is admired and admired by the people, and sits on the throne of the crown prince without question.

However, at this moment, the surrounding knights looked at each other, and they didn't dare to come out for a while. I don't know why, the sword is still the same sword, the person should still be the same person, and even the line has not changed much. However, the knight princess pestle sword stood there, her face expressionless, her voice low, but everyone always felt as if some terrible unknown substance was slowly gathering and condensing, and then it formed a real coercion.

If the former knight princess was an idol loved by everyone, now she is really a king. There is the majesty of the king, and in the same way, there may also be the determination of the king...... Uh, that's supposed to be a delusion, right?

A middle-aged Nord warrior who looked like he had some status cautiously looked at the flawless and beautiful side face of Her Royal Highness, and then said, "If you attack strongly, the losses are likely to be so great that people are moved." However, they refused our persuasion! ”

"Really? Then don't think about persuasion anymore. Artoria paused, looked at the passage in front of her, which could only accommodate three or five people, and turned back and ordered, "Please ask the dwarven masters to seal this passage, can it be done?" ”

"It's not a big deal. It only takes three to five minutes at most. The dwarven warriors present made a package ticket.

"But what are you going to ......?"

"Ask the Federation mages to cast some usable magic. For example, poison gas and the like. "Needless to say, everyone understands the second half of Artoria's sentence - since all the passages are sealed, the area magic such as the acid mist technique, the poison gas technique, the thundercloud technique, the fire cloud technique, etc., will reach the highest lethality.

The Nord knights were a little confused, not that there was anything new about this approach, but that this approach was proposed by Artoria, which made everyone feel a little subversive.

“…… Your Highness, in addition to the hard-fought orc soldiers in this stone room, there are also a large number of civilians, women, children, children, and so on. ”

"And then?"

"No, it's nothing...... knight opened his mouth slightly, then quickly shut it. He turned his head, his face full of fanatical expressions, and shouted to the soldiers behind him in a loud voice: "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear the order of His Highness? ”

Two and a half minutes later, the passage was sealed by the dwarves, and the desperate roars of the orcs, and the cries of women and children, were no longer heard. Then, several battle mages of the Fourth Legion of the Federation, led by a young brigadier general, quickly arrived on the battlefield.

"We're here to help, Your Highness." The brigadier general's face was a humble but reserved smile, and his etiquette and demeanor were perfect, very aristocratic. However, Artoria always felt that the other party was pretentious, and the so-called perfect demeanor was more like a forced training from a crash course in etiquette.

Artoria knew that this young general named Rudolf Gezzet was the chief of staff of the Fourth Army of the Federation, and his rank might be ten in the current Union army (especially after the meeting of the Fourth Army and Major General Pascal's Thirteenth Army), but the importance and order order were at least in the top five.

However, the reason why the knight princess knew about this person was not because the other party was famous, nor because Her Royal Highness the princess had been enlightened enough to deliberately memorize the names and appearances of the high-ranking personnel of the allies. Artoria just knew that the other party was Lu Xi's subordinate, but Lu Xi didn't like him too much.

"It's clear, right?" Artoria's tone was a little careless, and she looked like she was businesslike, as if she didn't want to talk to each other at all to promote affection.

"Understood, Your Highness!" Gezette smiled, "Using the Fire Cloud Technique and ThunderCloud Technique in an indoor environment may be too much movement, and may cause a small area of landslides. My suggestion is to use the Eye of the Wind technique, as long as the passage is sealed, you can suck all the air out of the stone chamber, and even the most stubborn enemies will suffocate to death. ”

"Let's do it." Artoria said immediately, seemingly without any hesitation.

They are all dead, burned to death by fire and struck by lightning, but they are not the same as suffocating to death without air and misery. The Nords have never been hesitant to slay their enemies with their swords, but they have never had the bad habit of torturing them, and in peacetime they would have disagreed. But at this time, they looked at the knight princess who had already given the order, but they didn't dare to say a word.

The Eye of the Wind technique was not a very difficult high-ring magic, and it was quickly unfolded in the stone chamber. Artoria stood still, her face cold. With her hearing, even through the wall, she could hear the violent flow of air in the stone room, as if a sudden wind was blowing. The resisters in the room quickly realized what was about to happen, and one by one let out screams of panic. Some tried to cover the eye of the storm, but it was clear that there were no high-ranking people in it who could disrupt the operation of magic; Others simply rushed to the closed passage, hitting the walls that the dwarves had repaired, but it was meaningless.

Artoria stood there with a straight face, listening to the voices of the people inside change from panic to madness, from panic to despair. She had never been a cruel killer, but she still forced herself to hear to the end. She was telling herself that this was to teach herself "the determination of the king" and "the ruthlessness of the king".

"So...... What the hell are you playing with? A familiar voice sounded behind Artoria. The knight princess was slightly stunned, and felt that her legs were a little weak for a while. She didn't even dare to look back, for fear it was an illusion.

"Turning back normally, not an illusion. In addition, you can do whatever you want, and I have opened a soundproof stance and a visual guidance stance, so I don't have to worry about the image being affected. ”

"No, even if that's the case, you can't be too presumptuous in front of everyone. This is my obligation. Artoria turned around and looked at Lu Xi who had walked out of the dimensional gate, and a hint of joy flashed on her face. But she immediately realized something, and hurriedly tightened her face, and instantly switched to an indifferent to cold expression: "Father said that the girl of the Nord royal family is not a crooked little woman, but I really want to punch you in the face now." ”

…… Sehiraeus is right! Where is Artoria's line, it is indeed a bit schizophrenic. Lu Xi looked at Artoria seriously, and made sure that the stupid hair on the top of his head was indeed drooping, so he simply stepped forward and grabbed the knight princess's Rouyi without saying a word—wrapped in iron gloves can be regarded as Rouyi, probably—and slammed it into a fist and knocked it on his face.

"Look, you've already hit." Lu Xidao.

“…… Eh, how can this be! Artoria showed a helpless expression of "you can still do this", and the stunned hair curled again.

“…… I've already discussed it with Miss Nicole and Miss Seyriliu, and I'm going to ignore you for at least a month. The knight princess finally showed Lu Xi's familiar, gentle and bright smile, like the spring sun. Then, she put on a straight face and said seriously: "Although I know that Lu Xi doesn't want us to be in danger, he doesn't want to drag us down!" However, fighting side by side with you was originally our choice. Leave us behind, and let us hide at home like ordinary weak women and pray for your safety. Can you understand this feeling of powerlessness? ”

"Well, so I also have the consciousness of kneeling and begging for mercy like you." Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders: "It's just that you have to understand, Artoria, the enemy this time is the Demon God after all." ”

"In other words, I'm not strong enough to face the demon god with you, am I? But Miss Breeze can, doesn't she? She asked.

Well, that's true, although you're 10 gold now, you're one step away from legend. When facing the Demon God, the legendary powerhouse who crossed the gate of the aisle understood and grasped a trace of the power of the root, so he was able to use the rule ability that could resist the Demon God to a certain extent, but the gold 10 was not, this is the qualitative gap. However, if I really say that, Artoria's opinion will definitely fall to the ground...... By the way, when did she know about the stubble of the wind?

"Of course I said it." The sound of the wind sounded in my heart.

“…… What a good means. I said that you didn't start showing your palace fighting skills until this time, do you have to add two sets to yourself? ”

"I'm a woman after all." The sound of the wind is still so geographically natural.

"I understand Lu Xi's concerns. But I'm still very unhappy. Artoria hung her head: "I'm sorry. ”

"Why did you start apologizing, the more you lowered your eyebrows and pleasing my eyes, the more I felt ashamed!"

"Of course, I apologize for my willfulness." Her voice seemed a little muffled: "Actually, I have long understood that a simple knight is by no means a qualified king. It's just that I really don't want to think about so many complicated things, I don't want to care about other people's thoughts, I don't want to be ruthless, I don't want to be as decisive as a real king. This is actually a kind of willfulness, right? ”

"This, it can't be said that the king must be cruel. In other words, the saying that a qualified king must be cruel and ruthless is not also a kind of secondary disease? ”

"But a qualified king must at least have the determination and consciousness to carry out cruel things that go against his nature for the sake of righteousness, and there is nothing wrong with that."

“…… Uh, so, the unlucky guy in this room, is that your determination? If it was Artoria in the past, at least she would have found a way to let those old and weak women and children go. ”

"Yes. If it were me before...... However, I have persuaded me many times to surrender, and I have done my best to show the benevolent side of the Empire, but they still want to continue to resist, so at least to convey the iron fist of the Empire to all the orcs, and even to the soldiers of the allies. In this case, the civilians are pitiful, but by no means innocent. ”

Indeed, how can a girl who has become an extraordinary powerhouse with her own talent and hard work really be a fool? The so-called "fear of power but not virtue", radish and stick, these are not too advanced concepts. The reason why she didn't understand was that she just didn't want to understand.

“…… However, if Lu Xi is gone, I will have to learn to grow up. Artoria raised her head and looked at Lu Xi faintly, her dark green eyes were so deep that she couldn't see the bottom this time, full of indescribable emotions, so complicated that Lu Xi's heart hurt.

"This time, after seeing you disappear into that enchantment, I'm really worried that I'll lose you forever."

"I'm sorry, Artoria......"

"Is it really a sincere apology?"

"Uh, sincerity, five bodies to the ground! It really can't be more real, even if I dig my heart out for you. ”

"Then give me a child."

“……”

"Is it okay after all, people, people will be very shy to say such things."

"Well, I can already see that your face is red and steaming. It's just that the topic changed too quickly, right? ”

"Hmph, I'm not going to lose to that cow star in Oakland! Although it is only a little behind now, this is a protracted battle, and the victory or defeat will be known later. ”

So, why does she know this piece too!

"Of course it's me."

"Thank you! Thank you so much! If one day I am killed by a firewood knife, you must be ninety percent responsible! ”

"Don't worry, you're really going to be firewood, and it must be me who did it."
