I am the one running the game

Chapter 558 What? Kill the Bronze Witch King? He is my beloved relative!

"Yawn~" Lu Xingshi yawned in the dark. This was the third month he was imprisoned in the dungeon.

The living conditions were quite good. Not only was it a single room, but it was also extremely soundproof, as if it had been imbued with some kind of bloodline ability or permanent totem spell. At least Lu Xingshi could not hear the sounds of other people imprisoned in the dungeon.

Of course, it is also possible that he is the only one in the entire dungeon.

After all, those who can come here were sent here by the Golden Wizard King himself.

Now Lu Xingshi also understood why the Bronze Wizard King failed to catch him. In addition to the luck factor of his legendary life, it was also because he was not prepared and his attention was attracted. He was able to get it thanks to the "treasure loss" incident. If it were the Golden Wizard King, he would not only catch him, but also follow him quietly.

I can only say it was a matter of fate.

During these three months, except for the first month, the Golden Wizard King would come to visit him from time to time. Perhaps because the war became more intense, he never came again.

Lu Xingshi just stayed there quietly while the totem fragment fusion experiment proceeded steadily. His strength did not stop at all, so time was not wasted but was utilized to the maximum extent.

It is very safe in the dungeon, and food is delivered to us every day.

The food was not bad either. From this point of view, the Golden Wizard King was quite magnanimous. At least he was not so stingy as to not even provide food.

"Hey, how come the Witch King has time to come and see me today?" Lu Xingshi noticed the movement and asked immediately.

The Golden Witch King's huge body squeezed in, appearing particularly large in the dungeon.

"Want to leave the dungeon?" The Golden Wizard King said, "I can give you a chance, as long as you do me a favor."

"Let me think about it. The Witch King coming to invite me personally just means that I have to bear the attacks of the Bronze Witch King, right?" Lu Xingshi thought about it and figured out what the other party was going to do.

The Bronze Wizard King is too strong in melee combat, so the Golden Wizard King needs someone to serve as a meat shield for him.

Coincidentally, Lu Xingshi is immortal, so he can be a perfect candidate to serve as a meat shield.

At the same time, this means that the war has reached its final stage and the time has come for one battle to decide the outcome.

As for why we don’t play king against king at the beginning, just like playing Landlord, no one will throw a king bomb at the beginning unless you have all bombs in your hands.

Moreover, a war of this intensity is not only for the sake of appearance and face, but also to weaken the number of people in the enemy's royal court.

Totem warriors who can go to the battlefield at least have the ability to resist. They are almost dead, and it will be easier to plunder slaves after the subsequent victory.

Of course, the side effect of doing this is that you will also lose troops.

Lu Xingshi didn't know whether the final battle between the Golden Court and the Bronze Court had come to this point so quickly due to internal or external reasons.

"That's right, this is the price in exchange for your freedom." The Golden Wizard King said bluntly.

"Of course you can, but you're taking something I already have in exchange for it. Isn't that a bit too much?" Lu Xingshi said slowly, "Actually, it's not impossible in the dungeon."

"What do you want?" The Golden Wizard King naturally understood that Lu Xingshi was asking for benefits from him, and if it was appropriate, he could give it to Lu Xingshi.

"Let me think about it..." Lu Xingshi deliberately delayed, and then said: "I want to see the inheritance of the witch in the Golden King's Court."

"Okay." The Golden Witch King agreed without hesitation. This was not a big deal at all. The witch's inheritance was not a monopoly in various royal courts and tribes. As long as you were a witch, you could basically see it, provided that you were seeing the ones from your own tribe and royal court.

Other tribes or other royal courts would definitely not want you to see it.

"Then I want..." Seeing that the other party agreed so readily, Lu Xingshi continued to ask for a high price.

"There's nothing else. At most I'll let you leave the dungeon early." The Golden Witch King interrupted Lu Xingshi.

The Golden Wizard King is not stupid. It is already very good that he gave him a chance to live and let him see the wizard's inheritance.

"You can refuse, but even if the Bronze Wizard King wins, your fate will be the same as it is now, still imprisoned in the dark dungeon." The Golden Wizard King used both soft and hard tactics, giving benefits and threatening again.

"It may not be this kind of treatment." Lu Xingshi touched his chin. He had ruined many people's good deeds in the Bronze King's Court. "I may be beaten every day."

“?!!” The Golden Wizard King didn’t expect Lu Xingshi to say that, but he kept it in mind.

Does this mean that Lu Xingshi might have some kind of conflict with the Bronze King's Court, such as breaking the bronze totem? But it's not that serious.

The totem was indeed damaged a little by Lu Xingshi, but it was actually not a big deal. He could just use some gold to pour it back and the damage would be basically zero.

"So only when the Bronze King's Court is completely destroyed can you gain long-term safety, right?"

"You help me stop the Bronze Witch King. After I destroy the Bronze Royal Court, you will be free as long as you don't appear in the Golden Territory." The Golden Witch King struck while the iron was hot.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he nodded immediately: "Deal, it's settled!"

I said this sincerely, but in my heart I was thinking of stabbing you in the back later.

He really didn't expect that the Golden Wizard King would come to him as a meat shield, and thought he would be imprisoned for life.

"I will take you out of the dungeon, but before that, you can only remain in this powerless state." The Golden Wizard King was not stupid, so he naturally would not remove the seal on Lu Xingshi. Otherwise, once Lu Xingshi's strength recovered, he would run away after reading the wizard's inheritance, and it would not be so easy for him to find him.

We were able to capture Lu Xingshi last time because we were prepared. If Lu Xingshi had taken advantage of our lack of preparedness and escaped, it would not have been so easy to find him.

Especially since he had left the Golden King's ruling territory, even if he wanted to capture Lu Xingshi back, he would be powerless.

However, even if the strength is blocked, it is actually not that stable.

After all, Lu Xingshi's body is there, but if Lu Xingshi escapes, he can catch him back better.

"Of course there's no problem, but let's make a deal, as soon as I go out, someone will come and try to step on me to become famous, or ridicule me because they don't like me."

"If you encounter this kind of treatment and something goes wrong during the battle with the Bronze Witch King, you can't blame me." Lu Xingshi said directly.

He had some understanding of the character of the people in the Bronze Court, but he was not sure whether the same would be true for the Golden Court. However, it was still good to prepare in advance.

"Don't worry, no one will be disrespectful to you." The Golden Wizard King promised.

Then he took Lu Xingshi out of the dungeon.

When he saw the sunlight again, Lu Xingshi did not feel it was dazzling.

He is not really here. His original form is the world, and the one here is just an incarnation.

In addition, the primitive people in the wild world are all very strong, so there is no need to worry about this kind of discomfort.

After he left, the Golden Wizard King quickly arranged food and daily life for Lu Xingshi. This was arranged by the Golden Wizard King himself, so no one dared to slack off.

However, Lu Xingshi also realized that the people of the Royal Court all had a sense of superiority towards the tribal people, whether it was the Bronze Royal Court or the Golden Royal Court.

Seeing this, Lu Xingshi didn't say much.

The royal court had already entered the city-state system, while the tribes were still scratching for food in the primitive era. The gap between the two was indeed huge.

The development of civilization naturally also formed differences. Especially with the leadership of a great witch who is obviously inhuman, the relationship between the royal court and the tribe is likely to form a more divided hierarchy.

However, these have little to do with Lu Xingshi, because the extraordinary interference has caused many leaps in the direction of civilization.

For example, primitive people who used slash-and-burn agriculture could blow up a spaceship with their bare hands.

Of course, this is just Lu Xingshi's idea. The form of civilization may not necessarily be in accordance with his idea. It's just that the civilization he envisions is an orderly and prosperous modern society in the past.

After all, in modern society, you won't be killed for not doing your job well or thrown into jail for not kneeling before officials. There are certainly shortcomings, but at least ordinary people can survive.

...

"Witch King, please forgive me for being frank, but now is not a good time." Ni said with a worried look.

“Not a good time, but it had to be done.”

"The Glowing Witch King has declared war on the Eagle Shadow Court. If we cannot defeat the Golden Court before the Eagle Shadow Court's reinforcements leave, then failure will be our final outcome." The Bronze Witch King said in a low voice.

This was not good news. Yue and Chuan had escaped back to the Glowing King's Court with great difficulty. Not only did they not die, they also relayed what they had encountered in the Bronze Territory to the Glowing Witch King.

The Glowing Court is indeed far away from the Bronze Court, but the distance from the Eagle Shadow Court is acceptable.

Therefore, the Glowing Witch King could not directly attack the city to retaliate against the Bronze Court, but he could suppress the Bronze Court indirectly.

The simplest thing is to force the Eagle Shadow Court, the apparent ally of the Bronze Court, to withdraw its reinforcements.

This not only means that the Bronze Royal Court will have to face the Golden Royal Court, but also that more royal courts around them will intervene, and they will be isolated and helpless, with enemies everywhere.

The best way to break the impasse is to decide the outcome with the Golden Court in a short period of time.

Whether winning or losing, it can break the impending desperate situation.

If you win, you will have more room to fight back.

If you lose, you will die, so who cares if you are in a desperate situation afterwards?

"Don't worry, there is still a chance." The Bronze Wizard King comforted him, but in fact he didn't have much confidence.

After the Golden Wizard King learned the news like him, he must have already started making preparations. The two have been enemies for thousands of years, and it is no exaggeration to say that they know each other best.

In fact, every fight between them is almost like an open battle, with fewer wins and losses, and most of them end in a draw.

And this time, life and death will really be the criteria for victory or defeat.
