Since the battle between Lorna and Chino broke out in Twilight City on the 10th of the Snow Return, the news of the Regent's return has spread.

As the province where Twilight City is located, the Beacon Province used to be the place where Chino had the deepest business.

Following the surrender of the defenders of Twilight City, the current governor of Beacon Province judged the situation, led his army to erect a counter-flag, and fell to Chino's command.

Since then, the Beacon Province has officially become the first of the six major provinces.

Although the hearts of the other five provinces are fluctuating, thanks to the fact that the real power generals have been purged more thoroughly, the legions are still firmly in the hands of the Queen of Laurel.

From the 10th to the 20th, the corps assembled in the five major provinces successively arrived at the border of the Beacon Province to quell the rebellion, and battles broke out on the whole front.

When the soldiers of the two legions were fighting, the duel of the top combat power did not stop.

Lorna set out from the royal city, and then went to the front line, wounded and engaged in a confrontation with Chino, and the place where the battle was devastated, full of black flames and dead air, mortals could only look at it from afar, and could not approach it at all.

In ten days, Lorna and Chino fought seven battles to the death, each time they were bruised all over their bodies, and after returning to the army, they were injected with strong drugs, and when they were relieved, they continued to fight Chino to the death.

With the strength she borrowed from Sofina and Nidhogg's help, Lorna was able to draw with Chino in all seven of her deaths.

The rebels of the Beacon Province and the rebels of the Kingdom are also stalemate, and everyone is waiting for the winner of this earth-shattering duel.

Palace.

This winter was so cold that a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the warm lake, and last night's snowfall covered the lake's forests, turning it into a white world.

Three royal guards are patrolling the lakeside, led by a girl, none other than the orphan of the previous "King's Blade" Denissa, the girl whose nickname was "Candy", Heli.

It has been 10 years since she passed the assessment in 516 of the Huoyao calendar, and she has grown from a childish little girl to a slim girl.

Healy is a well-known cold beauty among the imperial guards, with swordsmanship like a poisonous snake and a cold temperament.

In ten years, her colleagues have not seen her smile, not once.

Many men who have a good impression of Healy are deterred by this coldness, and this cold beauty has become less entangled.

Of course, regardless of her personality, Healy has been faithful to her duties for ten years, a reliable companion to her colleagues, and a good squire to the Queen.

Shealy was patrolling the lakeside with two companions at this time, and as she walked, she suddenly stopped.

One companion asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Healy looked at the woods in front of her and said, "There seems to be movement ahead, so let's look separately." ”

It was war time, and the two imperial guards did not dare to slack off, and rushed into the woods in front of them.

The woods on the shores of the warm lake are deep, and it takes at least an hour to patrol around.

After the two companions left, Healy did not enter the woods, and her cold eyes looked to the side, and finally landed on a viewing hut by the lake.

Shealy walked slowly to the cabin and opened the door.

The observation hut was supposed to be empty, but at this moment there was a figure sitting inside, the shadow hanging over his body, and his face could not be seen clearly, only the white-gloved hands were exposed to the light.

There was a chessboard in front of this person, and his hands were holding black and white, as if he was playing with his own chess.

In the face of this uninvited guest, Healy did not show vigilance and vigilance, she walked into the house and closed the door, and said slowly: "If they find you here, do you know how many people will be frightened?" ”

The uninvited guest leaned forward slightly, and the light finally fell on his face, illuminating the amber pupils.

Chino: "I haven't seen you for so long, and this is your attitude towards me?" ”

Healy: "If I wish I was coquettish, I could try it, but I can't guarantee the results." ”

After hearing this, Chino couldn't help but smile, and pointed to the empty seat opposite him: "Sit." ”

Heli sat down, looked into Chino's eyes and said, "It's been ten years, and you're finally going to use my shadow?" ”

Chino's fingers landed lightly on Healy's lips, like a dragonfly dotting water, signaling silence.

Healy was speechless.

Chino looked at the chessboard and said, "Do you know how to play this kind of Far Eastern Go?" ”

Healy: "Yes. ”

Chino: "You hold the sunspot, play this endgame with me." ”

Healy picked up the sunspot, turned into a chess player, and participated in the chess game.

The game was not complicated, and Chino's white was in a very strong position and took the initiative everywhere.

Cili's black chess piece is slightly passive, but fortunately there is a big dragon in the middle game.

A large dragon is a company of eight or more pieces.

In the hands of high-end chess players, it is extremely difficult for Dalong to be strangled, but once it is "slayed", it will immediately overturn the whole game.

Chino and Healy come and drop their sons.

Chino's white son kept falling towards the dragon, sharp and sharp, intending to slay the dragon.

Healy's chess skills are equally exquisite, and she revolves around Dalong and Chino.

There seems to be a sword and sword shadow on the chessboard, and Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Chino's attack was fierce, but no matter where he landed Shiroko, he couldn't break Heli's Kuroko Dragon.

This great dragon is like a giant beast in the middle of the pan, devouring all the enemies that come its way.

After playing and playing, Cili didn't move, and after a long silence asked, "With all due respect, don't you know how to play chess?" ”

Chino: "What do you say?" ”

Healy was a little helpless, pointing back and forth on the chessboard: "In my opinion, you are bound to win this game of chess." Although sunspots have an advantage in the number of subs, they do not have much of an effective purpose at all. ”

"Your white son can land directly in the hinterland of the black seed, and any single step is a fatal blow. You can also fight them in the four corners and four sides, and annihilate them one by one. ”

"There are countless ways to win this game, so why do you have to settle in the middle game and get entangled with this stinky and hard dragon?"

The cold wind poured in through the cracks in the door, bringing a biting chill.

Chino looked into Healy's eyes and slowly spoke, his voice like a wave under the sea, faint, hiding an unpredictable undercurrent: "Because, this big dragon is the only thing that Kuroko can lose." ”

Healy fell silent again, staring at the chessboard, her eyes changing several times, and finally returning to an eerie calm.

She picked up two chess pieces and placed them in the blank space of the chessboard, threw them in the towel, and then got up and left.

Chino: "Why don't you tell me about your plans?" ”

Healey: "No need to ask, just wait for news." ”

She looked back at Chino, and her voice was full of strong obsession: "After slaying the dragon, am I your sharpest blade?" ”

Chino: "Second sharp. ”

Healy: "Who's number one?" ”

"Don't ask." Chino smiled, his eyes full of gloom, "You can't catch up with her." ”

Healy's lips pursed tightly, and after a long silence, she opened the door and left, leaving only one sentence echoing in the cold wind: "I'll chase it after you." ”
