"Father, how could you..."
"I'm so fed up, what the hell are you playing?"
Ruen, the demigod Mr. Rosière standing by the table and looking at the map put down his pencil and interrupted the scene where the father and son met. He frowned and looked at Salhi II at the door. He had just retreated from the frontal battlefield and came back to discuss a hasty retreat plan:
"You should explain to us what the royal family is doing? To be honest, I was surprised when I learned that the princes and princesses had all returned to Loen in the middle of the night, but later, because of the appearance of the Snowman Legion, I didn't bother to ask them about it." Origin. But now even your... avatar?"
Mr. Rosière saw the current state of Salhi II, and the other benefactors present also slightly looked up at the king of this country:
"We need an explanation. Your Majesty, is the Snowman Legion related to you? Also, since the beginning of this war to defend Loen, I found that there seems to be something wrong with the people participating in the war. There are strange forces hovering over Loen. Don't say it has nothing to do with you."
The only person present who knew the truth in advance was Dolores. She wanted to speak up to defend her father, but the avatar of Salhi II, who was actually Salhi II, waved her children to stop talking.
"The situation is urgent now, and I have to come forward and direct the entire city to evacuate. If the church has any doubts about this matter, please wait patiently until the evacuation is over, and I will tell you everything."
He looked at the people in the room and saw that the church still saw him, so he added:
"Of course, I can admit now that I did violate the requirements of the High Tower Agreement."
As long as he is willing to admit this, the church will not be obsessed with the reasons for the Stuart family's sudden return to Loen for the time being. And the king's return would indeed be able to better assist Loen's great retreat. Salhi II had a high prestige in the country, and things would be much easier with him.
From the perspective of the people beside Nolan's chessboard, things became a little weird. The real Salhi II fell asleep right in front of them, but in the Loen City shown on the chessboard, the king of the Northern Kingdom didn't look like a fake either.
The two did not speak at the same time. Once Nolan's king spoke, Loen's king would be in a state of trance or even unable to stand; and once Loen's king was in action, Nolan's king would also lose his soul look like.
"That's not okay, Your Majesty, isn't it equivalent to going off the field as a chess player yourself?"
Taking advantage of Sarhi II's "wake up" again, Nolan's Jenkins accused him, and Sarhi II shook his head:
"I never said I couldn't get off in person. In fact, if you have the means, you can get off in person. I don't mind."
Jenkins looked at the other party with regretful eyes, but finally decided to take a look at the situation temporarily before deciding whether to take the risk and go to Loen.
Seeing that Jenkins didn't answer, Salhi II thought he was choking on himself, so he let his consciousness return to Loen again, so although it looked like there were five people on the chessboard, it had actually become four people.
"Jenkins, do you think this game can still be won or lost?"
Seeing her father "leaving", the eldest princess asked Jenkins.
"Of course the winner can be determined. Since your father killed Ruen in advance, he must have an artifact that represents the power of the royal family in his hands. I think he probably made up his mind that before dawn, he will perform the most Choose one of the good people to bestow on that artifact."
"But in this situation, will father continue the duel?"
Yani Stuart asked again.
"He doesn't want to continue the duel, he has to continue the duel, after all, his time is running out... Oh, I forgot that if no one wins, then you are the queen..."
"No, I won't be queen, my father never thought about it."
The eldest princess interrupted Jenkins, and there was no expression on her tense face. She looked at Jenkins calmly:
"I'm not Dolores, and I knew early on that I never had a chance from the start."
The situation in Loen was just as Jenkins expected. Alexia didn't want the Snowman Legion to occupy Loen at all, so after occupying most of the land in the northern city, the speed of the attack slowed down significantly.
This gave the human side an opportunity to arrange evacuation. With the king personally mobilizing, although most citizens still did not understand why they had to abandon the capital, due to their trust in the royal family and seeing the strangeness of the snow falling in the north and the rising heat in the south, The scene still allows people to make up their minds.
Crowds of people rushing into the streets with packages and suitcases, ran down the streets to the south amidst shouts from the police, and in the last two rounds of the duel in the hour before dawn, King Salhi II Part of the time was spent in Loen, and returning to Nolan was nothing more than directing the next action before the start of the round, and using props to increase the hope of being alive for the people of Loen.
This was a good time for Jenkins to make troubles, but Jenkins acted with Salhi II wisely, as if he also cared about the people of the northern capital.
"I do care about those innocent people. Although there have been almost no deaths since the early hours of the morning, I want to ensure that there will be no major casualties in the future of this disaster."
Jenkins explained to the eldest princess, who naturally would not believe it. But the other two princesses, who were relatively inexperienced, seemed to believe it. They looked at Jenkins a little differently, but they were scolded by Yani Stuart who discovered this:
"There is still something wrong with your vision of a man. You are too immature. Don't be fooled by this man's appearance and words."
She still cares about those younger sisters who have no conflict of interest with her.
"Don't say that to me. Not long ago, your father praised Dolores for her good eyesight... Oh, they are finally here. I thought these people would be late."
"What's coming?"
The princesses were puzzled, and then saw Jenkins raised his hand touching the chocolate and pointed to the chessboard. Three black stars suddenly appeared at the royal palace in the center of the chessboard.
This represents the other side, and black is not a friendly color in any culture.
In the small meeting room of the palace, everyone was still busy wearing summer clothes, away from the battlefield in the northern city, the temperature suddenly rose back to the normal summer level.
Frowning, Sarkhi II put the signed document by the table, and picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his face. Although this clone is healthy, the weakness of the soul still makes it difficult for him to persist in such long-term actions.
Suddenly his face froze, the king of the Northern Kingdom clutched his heart in pain, and fell to the ground before he could call for help.
PS: There must always be a real villain in this matter, otherwise what's the point of letting Jenkins fight the Snowman Legion? So the tool man is online again. Also, Salhi II is not dead, just passed out, don't get me wrong.
