Unspeakable bubbles

"What are you doing!" Carmen glared at Bones.

The bone didn't answer, but simply bowed deeply to the smiling little girl.

Section 537, Chapter 536: Positioning

"Oh, you're welcome."

The little girl waved to the bone: "Come with me."

Bubble led Bone, winding their way to the largest black tree.

"This is the best treehouse that Bubble saved for you, a single room."

The bone walked around its treehouse, nodded, and then pointed to a large open space not far away.

"There, Bubble plans to build a magnificent castle there in the future."

The little girl started talking: "In the 'Victoria and the Death Lord' series, the super powerful lord lives in a huge black castle."

"A dark, gloomy forest surrounds the castle, and his undead warriors dwell in that dark forest."

"Victoria was almost eaten by awakened undead warriors because she trespassed into the forest without the lord's permission."

"..."

People around her stared at the little girl with strange looks. Could it be that her 'treehouse' was inspired by that story?

"Hmm, but Bubble doesn't think that lord's undead warriors are particularly strong."

The little girl scratched her head: "After all, his undead warriors only numbered in the hundreds after they all awoke, and in the end, they were all burned to ashes."

"Kaba Kaba"

"Hmm? Bone, you said that the lord's subordinates were so weak, so he must be weak too?"

"..."

"No, no, no, he is an incredibly powerful lord."

"Living in such a cool place, and giving readers a 'Wow, that's amazing' feeling even before officially appearing, Bubble suspects that the lord is the final boss of the entire series!"

"Kaba Kaba"

"Well, revenge... indeed, after his undead warriors were burned to death by the villagers, he didn't run out of the castle to seek revenge."

"But, but that doesn't mean he was a weak lord."

"Perhaps he is actually a vampire who has just fallen into a deep sleep?"

The little girl chatted with the bone as she walked back.

After being busy for so long, breaking the seal and rushing back to the territory with the skeleton army to drive away the bad guys, and building a large number of treehouses to solve the skeletons' accommodation problem.

It's getting late, Bubble needs to go back and rest.

.................................................. .......................

In the dead of night, a solitary figure walked into the eerie forest.

The man stood in front of a large tree for a long time, lost in thought.

A huge, dark shadow suddenly appeared behind the man: "Kaba Kaba!"

"Bone, didn't you go into your treehouse to rest?"

"Kaba Kaba"

"..."

"Please, I'm not a king, I don't understand what you mean by 'kaba kaba'."

Carmen said helplessly, "Let's connect through the soul network."

'It's so late, why are you still wandering around here?'

"I can't sleep, I don't need to sleep anyway."

'Are you still thinking about what happened before?'

"..."

Carmen was silent for a moment, then he sighed.

"I thought I knew you well, but I never imagined that it was the King who truly understood you."

'Does it feel like we've betrayed you?'

"No, not really... okay, okay, a little bit."

Seeing the golden skull staring at her, Carmen's tone became irritated.

"So, even undead warriors need a 'home'? I thought you bloodless and tearless creatures thought nothing but killing."

"A skeleton army like this, with such 'humanity,' is nothing but a half-baked one!"

"Bones, have I been wrong all along? Are you not actually the embodiment of destruction?"

'We are certainly the embodiment of destruction, but who says that the embodiment of destruction has no feelings?'

'Carmen, an army without emotions is never an 'invincible' army.'

'If the skeletal legion of today were to face the current skeletal legion, it would surely be defeated!'

"..."

"I don't understand."

Carmen leaned against the tree trunk: "It's really strange. When we were eliminating the enemies together, I felt a kind of 'connection,' but now..."

He didn't continue, but just shook his head with a wry smile.

'Carmen, this is precisely why you can't become the 'King of Terror'.'

'You were originally a candidate, you should have realized that, right?'

"..."

Those who fight alongside us may be our "comrades," our "fellow soldiers," our "generals," or our "strategists." But they will never be our "king!"

'Only a king who can embrace destruction and truly accept our twisted existence is a true king of terror!'

'Carmen, if the skeletal army were to grow to its limit, destroying the world would be a piece of cake.'

'We cannot accept that our world will simply be destroyed.'

'But what if we encounter worlds that can embrace us? Should we destroy them too?'

Are we destroying ourselves according to our own will or the King's will, or are we destroying for the sake of destruction itself?

Carmen stared blankly at the bones for a long time before she came to her senses.

"As expected of a 'Great General,' his ideological awareness is truly high!"

Carmen earnestly asked, "Please, General Bones, enlighten me and help me dispel the confusion in my heart."

'I'm just a skeleton general in charge of fighting, not some kind of philosopher. You're confused, and I'm confused too.'

"..."

"I don't want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more my head aches. I'll just focus on being a good strategist."

Carmen patted her face: "Let's get back to reality, Bones. To be honest, I feel that the Skeleton Legion's current strength is a bit awkward."

"What do you think of the enemy today?" Carmen asked.

'Those initial few thousand troops who charged forward were formidable enemies, had they not been so few in number.'

"really!"

Carmen nodded solemnly and said, "The current Skeleton Legion can fight a legendary legion at night, but during the day, they will probably lose more often than they win."

Upon hearing this, Bone was immediately very displeased.

'Hmph, if that guy hadn't so relentlessly restricted the legion's development from the very beginning, we wouldn't be in a situation where we're on par with the legendary human legions today!'

"General, to be fair, we are actually slightly inferior."

'...'

"How confident are you in defeating that guard in black?" Carmen asked again.

'I'm not sure, but wait for me...'

"Ding ding ding, next question."

"If, and I mean if, the skeletal legions were allowed to slaughter indiscriminately, after devouring all living beings in southern Sein, could they simultaneously deal with four... no, perhaps five legendary legions?"

'No, at most I can fight two against one!'

"Phew, I understand now."

Carmen sighed, "It seems that launching 'Undead Scourge' and going for a crushing victory isn't going to work."

Section 538, Chapter 537: Stabbing in the back

Good morning, Your Majesty.

"Oh, good morning, Carmen. Hmm? Good morning, Bone too."

Early in the morning, the little girl yawned as she walked out of her bedroom and saw Carmen and Bones standing outside.

“Master, the two gentlemen were waiting outside the door last night. I tried to persuade them to go back, but they wouldn’t listen.”

Anne glanced at Carmen with a hint of helplessness. Normally, the head maid would never have allowed her to stand in front of the Earl's bedroom waiting for something like this.

Unfortunately, when Carmen arrived last night, she was accompanied by a menacing golden skeleton, so the maids dared not approach her, let alone chase her away.

Most importantly, these two guys are heavyweights in the Skeleton Legion, so Annie can't be too forceful.

It has to be said that with the support of the Skeleton Legion, Carmen's status in the territory has risen considerably.
