Chapter 200: Soul Crystal of the Skeleton King
The king has made a big concession, at least it is equivalent to promising Sis to spare Louis' life. Sis could only nod silently. If there were no million skeletons, Sis might support Louis to oppose the empire and seek better development.
But now that the enemy is in front of him, Sis doesn't know what to say. He feels that this is the only way for the time being.
After returning, he began to organize the secret forces of the Fury Family, preparing to infiltrate Ruolin City. Once Ruolin City is broken, Louis will be forcibly taken out.
Louis didn't know what happened in the study room of the palace, and the imperial envoy didn't know that the king's handwritten letter he handed to Louis was a tampered version. At this moment, Louis suppressed his anger. If the imperial guard was a little more arrogant and ignorant, he would kill him directly to vent his anger, but now...
"Go!" Louis stuffed the scroll back into the hands of the imperial envoy. At this time, the imperial envoy almost cried, "Lord Louis, these... nine flying dragons..."
"Get lost!" Louis shouted, and a trace of invisible ice magic permeated from his body and merged into the air in the room. Suddenly, the temperature in the room dropped by many degrees. The imperial envoy couldn't help but tremble. He didn't dare to say anything and turned around and fled from here.
Of course, he would be punished if he failed to complete the task, but if he didn't leave, he might not be able to save his life. At that time, the imperial envoy directly called the guards outside to leave Ruolin City without stopping.
Not long after the imperial envoy left, Louis was still sitting in the meeting room, and the communication crystal suddenly lit up.
"Father?" Sis's image appeared in front of Louis.
"Have you received the king's handwritten order?" Sis asked.
"Yes." Louis nodded.
"What do you think?" Sis could guess Louis' choice, but he still had to confirm it.
"I drove the imperial envoy away." Louis said expressionlessly.
Sis nodded silently: "This time, your Ruolin City is equivalent to a complete fallout with the royal family, but there is one thing I must tell you. The king's decree you got is actually a tampered version."
"Huh?" Louis showed a puzzled look.
"The real king's decree, which contains the content that the empire will form a flying dragon corps, and you will be the commander of the flying dragon corps. At the same time, you will be specially granted the title of duke. Ruolin City no longer needs to be evaluated before it is promoted to a super city."
"This is the content of the real king's decree. Your ten flying dragons will be incorporated into the empire's army, but you will still be in charge. This is the result of our discussion. It does not take away your flying dragons, but allows the flying dragons to be incorporated into the empire's army. It is a way to have the best of both worlds."
"This..." Louis thought about it. If the content of the king's decree was really like this at the beginning, I am afraid he would not refuse such a request. After all, this is no loss to him at all, and with the title of duke, the expansion of Ruolin City in the future will be more legitimate.
"Then who tampered with the decree... who was it?" The simple strategy of alienation was really effective. Louis also understood that the royal family would not change the content of the decree again because of face issues. His action of driving away the imperial envoy this time was just as his father said, and he had torn his face with the royal family of the Holy Flame Empire.
"Your old rivals, Mark and Lance! After you dismantled the invasion of the Holy See of Light and killed the Holy Son Anthony, these two old guys were controlled by us, but I didn't expect that their hands could still stretch so long. I underestimated them." Sis sighed.
"It doesn't matter. In the face of absolute strength, this kind of conspiracy is useless. I don't care about breaking up with the royal family of the Holy Flame Empire. I will kill them myself after this matter is resolved." Louis' eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness.
"This matter... Do you mean the matter of millions of undead? Are you sure you can solve it?" Sis was surprised. He was about to talk to Louis about this matter, but Louis mentioned it first.
"Yes, it's a bit troublesome, but it should be solved." Louis smiled and didn't give a specific explanation.
"This..." Sis didn't believe it, "Don't be too blindly confident. There are one million skeleton warriors, ten thousand undead knights, and the headless knight Anthony and the undead mage hidden in the dark."
"This Anthony will only be stronger than before after becoming a headless knight. Don't be careless. There is no one in your Ruolin City who can fight him!" Sis reminded.
"Father, don't worry, there will be one soon!" Louis stood up and saw Taida kneeling on one knee on the altar of the Barbarian King through the window. Now he has enough dark heavy oil, so Louis planned to upgrade his Barbarian King Taida to level 2 without hesitation.
The strength of the second-level Barbarian King should be about five-star great swordsman. With the characteristics of the Barbarian King, Taida's combat awareness and the legendary weapon Barbarian King Sword in his hand, the combat strength of a single soldier should be no less than that of the headless knight Anthony.
As for mounts, Anthony has a death horse, and Teda can just ride a flying dragon.
The seventh-level base camp can upgrade the flying dragon to level 2. Louis has already upgraded the laboratory and started to upgrade the flying dragon. However, the flying dragon takes seven days to upgrade, and there are still many days to complete the upgrade. I hope that the million skeleton army will not travel too fast.
"However... the strength of the first-level flying dragon has reached the level of a ten-star peak great swordsman, which has reached the limit of this continent. I wonder if it can break through the barrier that imprisons this continent after it is upgraded to a second-level flying dragon and reach the strength above the sword king."
Louis was not sure about this. After breaking through to the great magician, he had a faint feeling in his heart that the entire continent seemed to be surrounded by an extremely oppressive force. After reaching the ten-star peak great magician or ten-star peak great swordsman, it was almost impossible to break through.
Unless you have the power to break this barrier, you will be suppressed by this power for the rest of your life, unable to move forward, and will never reach the realm after the sword king.
However, these have nothing to do with Louis. He walked out of the city hall slowly and prepared to go to the city wall to take a look. According to the news from the goblins, the marching speed of the undead army is not fast. He has about five or six days of preparation time, which is not too abundant, but not too tight.
After leaving the city hall, Louis walked towards the city gate. He also wanted to go to the city wall to see if there were any new ideas for defending the city.
At this time, Bernie and his granddaughter Senti came towards him, and Louis' eyes suddenly lit up when he found Senti saw him.
"You're not going to duel with me again? I don't have time to play with her." Louis frowned.
But Senti was not so bored. The last time she dueled with him was just to verify her strength, but she didn't expect to be hit by Louis again.
"Lord Louis!" The two walked to Louis and stopped.
"Lord Bernie, Miss Senti." The two saluted Louis, and Louis returned one, then asked curiously: "Are you here to see me?"
"Yes." At this time, Senti suddenly took out a piece of stone flashing with purple light from the space ring and handed it to Louis.
"This... This is... the soul crystal of the Skeleton King!" As soon as Senti took out the stone flashing with purple light, the system screen in Louis' mind gave a message, and Louis jumped up in surprise: "How do you know I need this now?"
