There is a dense forest 10 kilometers away from the Returnant camp.

This is outside the territory of the elves, although it is still within the jurisdiction of the Pole Kingdom, but because of the frequent occurrence of ferocious beasts, it basically belongs to the three-regardless zone, not to mention merchants and ordinary hunters, even the bandit group will not go to this dense forest, let alone a priest of light will come here for no reason. As a result, this jungle became the best hiding place for necromancers.

"You bastard! I'm going to cut you!" Releasing from the coffin, Amelia's roar resounded through the woods.

She was back to her childlike state, and all the intestines she had pulled out were withdrawn into her stomach, and her severed belly and throat had healed, and even her severed wrist had been reattached, but from the look on Amelia's face, she was not in good condition at all.

"Save some. George Bernard Shaw didn't bother to talk to her, and plucked his ears out of boredom.

"You ......"

Bernard Shaw's attitude angered Emilia so much that she resisted the urge to pick up a kitchen knife and cut it down. Because she has more important things to do, she can't waste her strength on useless people. After swallowing the breath, Emilia turned and walked away.

But she couldn't walk 10 steps, and a coffin fell from the sky, blocking her way.

"Bernard Shaw, you're killing yourself!" Exasperated Amelia, she yelled.

"I'm trying to stop you from killing yourself. No need to ask, you definitely want to go back and try to catch that girl again. ”

"Hmph!

"I'm too lazy to meddle. What does it matter to me whether you live or die, but the Lich King has commanded us to protect you. If you hang up, we'll be remiss in our duties. ”

"You guys?"

"That's right. In addition to me, there is one more person. ”

With that, George Bernard Shaw raised his head and raised his chin to the right. Emilia looked toward him, and saw a young woman sitting under a tree, with her baby in her arms, to sleep.

"Suina, the Weeping Ghost Mother, why is she here?" Emilia looked at the ground at the young woman's feet, where a dilapidated rag doll was placed, "Could it be Sariktin? How did she do this, did that little fat man do it?"

"You see, even the 'Nether Corridor' Sariktins were beaten back to their original form by them, the strength of that group cannot be underestimated, and after your previous actions failed, there will be no more chances. ”

"Humph!"

"Stop being tough, come home with us. ”

"I'm not going back!"

"Sure enough, it's a little girl who doesn't know anything about the world. Looking at Amelia's awkward appearance, George Bernard Shaw shook his head with a little cry and laughter, "It seems that not only can't grow in appearance, but even IQ is a child." The Lich King was right. ”

"What did the Lich King say?" Emilia shuddered at the mention of the Lich King.

She did her best to capture Sophia because of the Lich King, and she didn't dare to return to the Isle of the Dead after failing her mission.

"The Lich King has told us privately that you are like a daughter to him. No, he directly said that you are his own daughter. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"We always thought the Lich King was just joking, but now it seems like it's probably true. He takes care of you more than anyone else in the guard. ”

“......”

Contrary to Bernard Shaw's expectations, Emilia was silent when she heard this. She clenched her small fists, and her misty eyes rolled with mixed emotions.

If it is true that Amelia's soul is part of Howard's soul, as the Lich King said, then in a sense, they are indeed father and daughter.

However, how can a father in the world reveal the idea of erasing his daughter's existence in front of his daughter without scruples?

Although the enemy had fled, the battle continued for quite some time.

The undead legions are endless, and the human soldiers of the Avengers are suffering casualties every second, and if this continues, the Avengers will sooner or later be drowned in the sea of the undead and eventually become a part of these undead creatures.

But the situation has not reached the point where it is helpless.

A crack squad, led by Joyka, rushed to Sophia's side without fear of death. Without waiting for Sophia to speak, Joika ordered the soldiers to protect Alice, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, from the battlefield. After making sure that Alice was safe, Sophia no longer had any scruples, and she took the initiative to release the Valkyrie's soul, restore her original status as a priest of light, and use her best magic to send out a large-scale "divine shock".

The dazed undead legion was instantly wiped out by the divine light of judgment, and the remaining undead creatures were scattered, although they were still replenishing their numbers, but they were no longer as difficult as before. The soldiers were able to approach the "noisy coffins" and destroy them one by one.

When all 16 "Noisy Coffins" were destroyed, the battle was over. All that's left is to clean up the battlefield.

However, the aftermath of this incident did not end there. Because the prisoner who was imprisoned in the prison, Nemo, the "Lynx" general who had been in power for a long time, escaped in the chaos. I don't know if he caught the jailer in the brief confusion after the "ghost press" was lifted, or if he was not affected by the "ghost press" at all, but when someone remembered to inspect the prison afterwards, Nemo's cell was already empty.

Later, a hidden tunnel in the prison was discovered that no one knew about, and Nemo was supposed to use this tunnel to escape. In fact, this is not surprising, when the camp was built, it was the "Lynx" who had to run everything himself, and the prison and artificial lake were also built under his supervision, perhaps he had already thought that he might one day become a prisoner, so when he built the prison, he left himself a way out.

Thus, events can be connected one after another. The "Lynx" had long been in collusion with the necromancers outside, who attacked the Avenger camp overnight in order to cover the escape of the "Bobcat" - in the end, the plot of the "Bobcat" and his necromancer friends succeeded, but the Avengers were put in danger, and a large number of excellent soldiers were killed and injured in the battle with the undead legion, and Miss Alice, as well as the magician guests who came to help, and even Princess Sophia herself, were seriously injured to varying degrees.

Of course, this is all the speculation of the nobles who are in power. However, for Sophia, Cassius, Joica, and Alice, as well as the three nobles who were directly under Catherine and knew the inside story, they all knew that these things were not necessarily related to Nemo.

The four enemies who launched this attack - three to be exact - and an aggregate of an unknown number of Wraiths, their targets were very clear: Sophia herself. Their purpose is the same as that of the "ghost assassin" who appeared in the Kuka Mountains before, which is to forcibly take Sophia captive, the only difference is that after the last defeat, the enemy has sent a stronger force. There may be more such attacks in the future, and they will be more dangerous. As for Nemo's escape, he should have just grabbed an opportunity, and even if this attack hadn't happened, he would have escaped.

Just as Sophia was about to confess her thoughts to everyone, she was stopped by Alice and the three nobles who were directly under Catherine. Their reasoning was simple: as soon as Sophia arrived at the Revenger camp, there were two large-scale bloody killings, which did not bode well for most of the people in the Revenger camp. If it is publicly stated that the undead forces are due to Sophia, it will seriously affect Sophia's prestige among the revenants in the future. No one likes a leader who brings disaster. And at this time, Nemo fled, so he could push the boat down the river and put the blame on Nemo.

Sophia was naturally very resistant to this proposal. Sophia has always been taught by St. Angie, her own way of life is bright, she will not accept or even think about the way to blame others for her own responsibility, even if the other party is against her, she will not pour dirty water on others, although Sophia knows in her heart that if she does this, it will really help to stabilize the chaos of the restored, but her heart has never been able to accept it.

"Father, did you do the same before?"

At this moment, when standing in front of the two forks in the road that lead to "conscience" and "the big picture", Sophia truly experienced the difficulties and burdens of being a leader for the first time. As her own daughter, her father's impression in Sophia's mind has always been that she is a virtuous elder, and Sophia never dared to believe or wanted to believe that her father would do these things against her conscience for some political purpose, but now that Sophia has changed places, she can't help but believe it.

Not only the deceased father, but also Duris who was on the throne at this time, would do the same?, Sophia pondered.

Joyka, on the other hand, has the opposite opinion. Although Alice and the three nobles' proposal was correct to some extent, on the other hand, Joyka believed that it was more important not to forget her heart, and to always maintain a sincere heart was a more precious treasure for Sophia, and if Sophia felt that lying was too wronged, then don't lie, the leader of the Revenge can just do it, and it is better to be free and adventurous as before. Of course, Joyka didn't force Sophia to do anything. Stay or leave, lie or truth, these are all up to Sophia herself, no matter what Sophia's final decision is, Joyka will accompany her to go on.

The ball was kicked back into Sophia's hands. When she was at her most helpless, the man she trusted the most was not by her side—perhaps, this was the reason why he insisted on leaving her that day. The decision was difficult, but Sophia had to get through it.

As for the other key figure directly involved in the fight against the undead invasion, the magician Cassius, he had found a place to hide before his injuries were healed.

Cassius doesn't care about politics and can't say anything valuable for Sophia, and the only thing he can do now is three things: special training, intensive training, and continuing intensive training!

After all these years of hard fighting, Cassius walked step by step, making him feel that as long as he persevered and never gave up, no enemy could not be defeated, and this self-confidence was completely destroyed until the moment he met the young woman with the baby in her arms. In front of the young woman, Cassius truly realized his own insignificance and helplessness.

He was decapitated himself, but Cassius couldn't see any weapons or movements from the other party, but he knew in his heart that time seemed to have stopped before he was attacked. And in the moment when he was dying, time was reset again, back to the state before he was attacked. In other words, the young woman sent a clear message to Cassius: his life and death were in her hands.

"What should I do when I meet her again?"

Cassius kept asking himself. He knew that if he didn't find an effective way to deal with the magic of time, he would surely die if he met the young woman again the next time.

Rocard Empire, imperial capital Alexandria.

There is a place in the palace known as the "Imperial Gallery". The wide, empty corridors are lined with portraits of the emperors and empresses of the empire. And the current monarch of the empire, Empress Ipeya, is standing in front of the last portrait at this time.

The old man in the portrait is the previous emperor of the empire, the father of Ipeya: Mashigang the Great.

She had been standing in front of the portrait for more than two hours. No one knew what was going on in her mind.

At this moment, there was a sound of the door opening and pushing.

"This is a royal land, only the monarchs and princes of the past empires are allowed to enter, and it is a capital offense for you to trespass. Even if she didn't look back, Ipeia knew who had done such a rampant act. She said very unpleasantly.

"I am not a citizen of Rocal and am not subject to the laws of your empire. The celebration is almost underway, but you can't be found anywhere. Since no one dares to come in this place, I'll come in and have a look. The person who came was none other than Prince Harun, the "Riversider," and "you are indeed here." Anyway, what are you doing?"

"I just want to pay my respects to my father. Ipeia replied calmly. Her eyes never took off the old man in the portrait.

"You're reminiscing about the sense of accomplishment you felt when you poisoned your father. ”

Ipeya's body shook slightly, and it was obvious that Prince Harun's words had touched her scales.

However, Prince Harun was also very interested, and he did not continue to provoke the empress, but turned away when he saw that he was good, and before leaving the door of the imperial gallery, he left a sentence: "I will tell them that the celebration is postponed for half an hour." ”
