Twilight ignored Ciel and stared into Downton's eyes. She and he were indeed connected, and they could understand each other's thoughts with just one look.
"So, let you die?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"Yes, this is my responsibility and should be done by me."
Twilight looked determined. She would not use the lives of her subordinates to find a way out like those tyrants.
"What riddles are you playing? What death?"
The knight commander wiped the rain off his face and asked loudly.
Downton smiled, and then, amidst Twilight's exclamation, he took the lead and stabbed the dagger into his heart.
A wave of pain swept through him, and Downton felt like a drowning pedestrian. He could hardly breathe, and then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
"What the hell?"
The knights and sailors were frightened and did not understand why Downton committed suicide.
The vision occurred. Downton did not shed any blood. His entire body was broken into light spots and scattered in the storm.
"I understand that immortal death is suicide. There is only the concept of death, but no specific meaning of the result of death."
Carrie suddenly understood, followed by endless admiration, "This guy reminds me of another man. He is also so decisive and brave, and is not afraid of death."
"who?"
Ciel asked subconsciously.
"Your Downton!"
After Carrie finished speaking, without waiting for anyone to react, she pulled out a dagger and pierced her heart.
"You stay here."
Twilight wants to catch up.
"Your Highness!"
In desperation, the knights called out Twilight's original title.
"Go back to the Ark of Light. If I can't return in a year, I should tell Aunt Sissi not to wait for me anymore and re-select the future queen!"
Twilight said, stabbing the dagger into the heart.
"Your Highness, we will follow you to the death!"
The knights looked at each other, knelt down on one knee, drew out their swords, and pierced their hearts. Even Ciel, who had some bad habits from the second generation, did not hesitate at all.
This time, as His Highness goes on an expedition, every knight is prepared to die in battle.
"you……"
Twilight was moved to tears. How could she be worthy of such loyalty?
"Captain, what should I do?"
The sailors were dumbfounded as they watched these humans disappear.
"I'll go take a look too!"
Jones licked his lips and pierced his heart, but he was as numb as ever and didn't even feel pain.
"Why didn't it disappear?"
The first mate was puzzled, “Is it because we have been cursed?”
"Captain, look!"
A sailor pointed to the sky, where a huge warship was breaking through the dark clouds. It airborne and before they could react, a handsome man appeared on the deck.
"Where's Carrie?"
The man roared, grabbed the first mate, stared directly into his eyes, and read the memory.
The first mate twitched, and black mist overflowed from his facial features.
The terrifying divine power raged, scaring the sailors to the point of peeing.
"Fear? I actually feel fear?"
The captain was trembling with excitement, but he never had the chance to express his feelings. The man waved his hand, and dark energy exploded, completely obliterating them from body to soul.
"Carrie. Wait for me."
The man committed suicide and entered the Temple of the Dawn.
On the high-altitude battleship, Commander Fox, wearing a blue military uniform, sat on the bridge, supporting his chin with one hand, and witnessed all this from the crystal ball.
"I see, but these people are too cowardly. Aren't they just committing suicide? They don't even dare."
Fox sneered.
Even within the Evil God Army, they are not monolithic. There are many forces staring at Twilight, but only a handful of them have the courage to rush to their death.
"So, these people are not qualified to be enemies of the Führer."
Fox drew his dagger.
"Beautiful and handsome!"
The staff members were shocked when they called Fox a good name. This person was one of the most important right-hand men of the head of state. Once something went wrong, a major earthquake would occur in the Maki Demon Empire.
"wait me back."
The handsome and confident man stabbed the dagger into his heart.
Before his vision recovered, Downton could already smell the sweet fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects, followed by green grass like a carpet and tree shades like the sea.
This is the country of spring, full of prosperity and endless dawn.
"Guest, please go this way!"
A fist-sized flower elf appeared to guide Downton.
Within a hundred meters, Twilight and her knights appeared one after another on the path in the forest.
Twilight walked over without saying a word, but her reproachful eyes were clear.
Downton sighed, rubbed Twilight's hair, turned around and led the way, "Let's go together!"
Everyone was taken into a forest hut, and while they were looking around and on guard, a man walked in.
Wow!
The knights stood up and drew their swords at each other.
"Governor Thran?"
The knights were frightened and angry. After the Holy War until now, this guy is one of the only three old governors left. He is terrifying to death. He can be said to be the deadliest enemy among mortal enemies.
Downton and Twilight looked at Carrie in unison and guessed the reason why Seran was able to get here, but their chivalry prevented them from attacking.
"Carrie?"
Selan shouted.
"I'm fine."
Carrie complained, "You are so impatient, I can also get the artifact back."
Selan shook his head. He cared more about Carrie's safety than any artifact. "Twilight, in return for not harming Carrie, I will escort you back to the Ark of Light."
"Have you asked me?"
The handsome man walked in. Behind him, there were several guards, all belonging to the Ace Corps.
"Rommel?"
The knights gritted their teeth, this was also a formidable enemy, but no one was surprised by his appearance. Heinrich's first think tank, if he didn't have this ability, wouldn't be able to fight, so the Western-Turkish Allied Forces fled.
"Who are you?"
Rommel didn't care about the eyes that wanted to cut him alive. He just stared at Downton, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"It's so similar. If I hadn't seen Downton die in despair a few years ago, I would have thought he was resurrected."
Rommel shook his head and praised again and again. "Is this Sissi's trick?"
"As expected!"
The knights looked at Downton.
While everyone was discussing, a group of dark elves, a group of demons, a group of mermaids, a group of orcs, and two draconians walked in.
"Who is the owner of this place? Since the guests are all here, why don't you come out to meet them?"
Rommel sat down, with a familiar expression, picked up the fragrant tea offered by the flower elf, and took a sip, "Old tree scented tea, it seems that the owner is the elf queen?"
"Fox is handsome and handsome, with unrivaled wit and wit. As expected, his reputation does not live up to the publicity!"
A female elf wearing a white mooncloth robe with gold embroidery came in. Her temperament was graceful and luxurious, and she was beyond elegant.
"Nice to meet you!"
Rommel stood up and saluted, and others did not dare to neglect.
"This is the famous Blazing Morning Star, Supreme King, and Queen Anastasia of the Prime Elf?"
Ciel peeked at the female elf.
"The adventurers who set foot here are all aiming to obtain the soul of the underworld. I won't say any polite words. Those who pass several tests will obtain the divine sword!"
The queen waved her hand, and the cabin in the forest changed, with several chessboards appearing.
"The first level is immortal death. You all have passed. The second level is a test of combat prowess. Only those with supreme combat prowess are worthy of the Soul Resurrection of the Underworld, but for you, it is no longer necessary."
When the Queen said this, she glanced at Rommel and added, "IQ is also combat power."
"Thank you for your compliment!"
The handsome man smiled. He put his right hand on his chest and bent down to salute.
In other teams, there are Sheng Aoxun.
"Wait a minute, it was Li Ang who broke the first level, right? These people must be following his example?"
The knight captain argued.
"Please remember, in the first level, no matter how you understand the meaning of immortality, you can only pass the level if you set foot on the Isle of Dawn."
The Queen explained.
"The third level is a board game. The winner passes the level."
Introduced by the Queen.
"Looking at the pattern of the chessboard, it's King's chess, right?" Selan commented, "It's very beneficial to mankind!"
"Queen, please allow me to take the liberty of asking you, you once led the Western-Turk camp against the Evil God Army. Why do you allow these guys from the Evil God camp to participate in the game?"
Charles was unhappy.
"Haha, so stupid. Didn't you realize that this queen is just a magical intelligent illusion?"
Theran scoffed.
"Young man, how can it be so easy to understand the idea of the holy coffin? Maybe she wants us to die in the game, or maybe she is just the guardian of the soul in the underworld and cannot decide its ownership at all."
Rommel speculated, "Perhaps the only thing she can do is to use her power to choose a game that is beneficial to you."
"No need for you to explain!"
Ciel retorted.
"Can you introduce the rules?"
Rommel shrugged his shoulders. No matter how stupid he was, he knew it couldn't be an ordinary game.
"The rules remain the same, except that the sixteen chess pieces on each side are assigned to your subordinates. If the chess pieces are captured, the subordinates will die!"
"It's that simple?"
The knight commander was surprised. As for the fact that he would die as a chess piece, he was not afraid at all.
"Yes!"
The Queen made a gesture of invitation, "Everyone has a maximum of two hours of thinking time."
"What should we do?"
Seran interrupted, "We didn't bring any of our men!"
"You can write the names of the subordinates who want to participate in the battle on the chessboard. If the chess piece dies, the owner of the name will die!"
The queen's words shocked everyone. This was definitely the power of the gods.
Just when Downton was wondering what would happen to him, the Queen seemed to add on purpose, "Even subordinates from other planes can be brought."
"Very good, where is our opponent?"
Rommel randomly picked a chessboard and sat down first, "Or should we draw lots?"
"Your opponent is it, the artificial magical elf Alpha!"
After the queen finished speaking, a puppy was projected beside the chessboard.
"You're pitting us against a dog?"
The dragon man was angry and felt insulted.
"You can say no!"
The queen's face turned cold.
"You don't want to participate anymore. I'll get the Excalibur and give it to you.",
Perhaps because of the speculated relationship, Downton always has a kind of care and compassion for Twilight.
"No, I want to join the war so that I can win more!"
Twilight's attitude was firm, "When I was a kid, I often played chess with Aunt Homer, at least at a professional level!" (To be continued.)
