There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

Now it was wrapped in white cloth by the queen and handed over to the general...

"Return to the formation and prepare to retreat temporarily!!"

At the same time, a cavalry unit in the demon army moved in like a rocket, first infiltrating from the flank, causing heavy casualties among the demons and breaking up their formation. Now after the fight, they can just pat their butts and leave, showing that they don't even take the demons seriously!

The front-line commanders ordered long-range attacks on them, but they underestimated the Sword of the Kingdom. Even the military flag was a top-notch magic prop that could deploy a protective shield that could cover 5,000 people and protect the soldiers from long-range attacks.

"Damn it, they just got away like that!"

Just as a demon commander was cursing, new waves came from under the ground again, as if coming from the Forest Elf Kingdom, approaching from far away, and soon, it reached their feet.

"What……"

The next second, everyone widened their eyes and looked at this miracle that soared into the sky!

I saw several green vines that only existed in "Jack and the Beanstalk" rising from the ground with vitality, waving their roots wildly, like towering giants, roaring and crushing the war beasts into rotten meat all over the sky.

Pieces of meat larger than rocks fell from the sky, killing countless demons.

The royal army looked at this scene and was so shocked that they couldn't help but shed tears of relief.

At least they can go home alive...

The rear of the Demon King's army was in chaos, but the demons that had already rushed into the enemy camp were still slaughtering wantonly, and the losses on both sides reached an astronomical figure.

The battle lasted until sunset when it ended hastily.

The afterglow illuminated the cracked earth stained with blood. The withered towering roots were blown away by the wind like debris. The corpses of elves, humans, and demons piled up into a hill, and weapons lay upside down and crooked on the ground.

It was a mess like hell.

After losing two Demon King army cadres and 80% of the troops in a row, the war beast was completely wiped out, and even Yoton was seriously injured. The army brought this time was not enough to support the next battle.

Stuart could only reluctantly return to the Demon King's City with his remaining troops.

Not only did they fail to find the traitor, but they also lost the battle. What a shame...

He gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart. He must make the bitch Alei pay the price! If it weren't for her, the Demon King's army would not have failed!

They returned with a great defeat, and the Allied Forces were not having an easy time either.

More than half of the Holy Knights of the Church brought by Jeffer were lost, and 70% of the nuns were killed by assassins who broke into the battle.

Eighty percent of the forest elves, who were the main force, remained on the battlefield.

The Sword of the Kingdom was only responsible for flanking guerrilla warfare and suffered the least losses, with only two hundred casualties, so they still had the strength to fight.

But it is a mercenary group after all and does not belong to the Forest Elf Kingdom.

As a result, the Forest Elf Kingdom was on the brink of destruction.

If it was just that its military force was extremely insufficient, that would be fine, but there were other reasons that completely put it on the brink of a cliff.

——The domestic political struggle has finally reached the decisive moment of life and death.

A large number of assassins filled the royal city of Yaleta.

During the day, the factions led by Merlin and Aurora would attack their political opponents in large numbers in the Forest Palace, engage in verbal battles, and make a big fuss, completely tearing their faces apart.

At night, assassins hired by both sides would go out in full force to secretly assassinate enemy politicians.

Sometimes the assassins from both sides would run into each other, and then they would kill each other without disturbing each other...

Under normal circumstances, if this kind of behavior occurs, it would be a fight to the death, and if you can't get it, no one else can get it either.

But in today's kingdom, despicable means no longer matter. As long as they can silence their political opponents, they can use any means.

In such a dark environment, 40% of the politicians who were originally active in the royal city suddenly decreased, and the entire royal city became chaotic.

The Elf Queen could only watch all this helplessly, she had no ability to stop the quarrel between the two sides, because all her power came from her term of office. The time limit given to her by the Holy Tree as the Chosen One was about to expire, so people began to stand on the side of the new Chosen One, even the elders of the Ten Elders' Council were no exception, they had no choice but to do so in order to keep their positions.

And those elders who dared to resist were even exiled...

In short, her position as queen has been sidelined.

The queen sat on the throne that would no longer belong to her and looked up at the ceiling of the palace. It was engraved with the culture and history that belonged only to the forest elves, but she could not find a single piece that depicted infighting and bloodshed.

At this moment, she only hoped that all this would end quickly. The people in the kingdom could no longer bear the devastation and disaster brought by this war.

Chapter 266 Out of the Darkness

Chapter 266-265- Out of the Darkness

At the same time, Domi, who had evacuated from the battlefield, rode on the Black Prince and arrived at the royal city of Yaleta one step ahead of the crippled army.

He was alone, and Alei was temporarily left to Jiefule to arrange for her to return to the country. She should be on the way now.

The succubus's hiding ability is still worthy of recognition.

With Ale's ability, as long as she is determined to disguise herself as a human, almost no detection array can detect her true identity, except for the top-level arrays in the center of Kalia Academy and the Giant Tree Mage Tower.

After disguising himself with a linen robe and a hood, Domi strolled through the streets of Yaleta, all the way to the central square of the royal city, sat down on a bench that could be found everywhere in the park, and waited quietly.

Not long after, a pair of jade feet appeared in the field of vision under the hood. Even though they were only wearing a pair of worn straw sandals, it was difficult to conceal their exquisiteness and beauty.

It’s worthy of being made by myself, it’s so beautiful!

"Aurora, you've worked hard. You've become the crown prince, but you still have to dress like a beggar to meet people."

Aurora was also wearing a tattered robe and a hood, just like Domi, and sat down next to Domi.

"I am sorry, sir, to receive you in this manner..."

"I should be the one to say sorry. You and Alei have both given so much for me. It's time for me to do something for you..."

"Although it's only for my own good, I'm sorry to say it in such a high-sounding way."

Aurora shook her head.

"No, it is a great favor for you to think of us. Please continue to move towards your goal. I will always follow you."

Domi showed a bitter expression in the darkness:

"You guys are just too sensible..."

It seemed a little bit awkward to say this in a slightly childish voice, but Aurora loved to hear it.

"Aurora, let me ask you, if you defeat Merlin and his faction, become the true crown prince, and will definitely sit on the throne of the Elf King in the future, do you want to become the new Elf King?"

Aurora trembled slightly when she heard this. She was silent for only a second before nodding:

"I will, if that is what the adults want."

"Then if I have two expectations of you, one is that you become the Elf King, manage the entire kingdom, and use the power of the entire kingdom to help me when I need you;

The second is to launch a puppet emperor to take over the Forest Elf Kingdom, and you return to me, live according to your own wishes, make friends, do what you want to do, go shopping, fall in love, travel... just like a normal girl in our place. "

"Both are equally important to me. When the time comes, how will you choose, the former or the latter?"

Aurora didn't answer, but turned to look at Domi. Domi also looked over, but was stunned.

Under the hood, two tear marks were seen on Aurora's angelic face.

"Your Excellency is really cunning... You can obviously... You can make the decision directly by yourself, but you still make me struggle so much..."

Domi let her lean on his shoulder: "Then come back. I will finish everything here."

Aurora sobbed and sniffled: "Well..."

She had wanted to go back to Domi more than once, just as Domi had described to her before, to live the life that those little girls were living. She had actively asked Domi to tell her about it, and it really made her yearn for it.

Moreover, the treacherous officialdom in Mori Palace has exhausted her physically and mentally. It is like a ball of stone rolling down a spiral staircase, constantly forcing her to make one decision after another, moving forward again and again, unable to stop.

She had now given up thinking and had discarded all political struggles from her mind. Only one thought remained - to leave and return to Lord Domi.

"Leave the rest to me..."

That night, Merlin had just finished a war of words in the Kingdom Council Hall of the Forest Palace and was walking in the palace with an irrepressible joy on his face.

Aurora didn't come today!

He and his supporters seized the opportunity and persuaded many people to continue supporting Aurora.

A perfect flaw. When signs of the building's collapse appear, everyone will choose a more promising way out, and that person is him.

"Aurora, Aurora, it was you who couldn't hold on to the end, so don't blame me."

By now he had reached the central square of the Forest Palace, and turning right would lead to his residence in the palace.

A team of guards and some supporters planned to accompany Merlin all the way back to his residence. This was a rare opportunity to show their courtesy.

It is this feeling of being the center of attention that makes him enjoy it.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed with a cold light. The minister who had been courteous to him just now had a stiff expression. The next second, his head was split in the middle, moved horizontally, and fell to the ground with a plop, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Everyone present fell into deathly silence.

It’s not that I’m afraid to speak, but the feeling of oppression makes it impossible for words to come out of my throat.

The edge reflecting the moonlight flickered again, and every flicker would take a person's life.

Merlin just watched numbly as the people around him died one after another. He knew very well that this assassin was coming for him, and he was more powerful than all the assassins who had tried to kill him before!

He is just a crown prince now, and he is also the chosen one. To assassinate him means that the assassin himself will not survive. Who is willing to spend the money that can buy the assassin's life to buy his life? !

Aurora? Or someone else?

No...it must be Aurora. The reason why she didn't come today must be that she knew she would die in the assassination!

That must be it!

But he also has someone to rely on.

"Audilia! Why don't you come out yet!" Merlin cursed in his heart.

He was the most powerful S-class adventurer in the Forest Elf Kingdom, and also an assassin, whom he had recruited at great expense to protect his life.

Soon, all the people who followed him fell in a pool of blood. Domi also walked out slowly from the darkness, wearing a black suit and a black and white smiling mask with a "sign of death". The black knife in his hand was dripping with blood, and he walked towards him step by step.

"Your Excellency is truly very powerful, but please stop here."

It was not until this time that Odiliya appeared and stood between Merlin and Domi.

Odilija is a sexy female assassin with a good figure, exuding an alluring and deadly aura like a venomous snake.

She had been hiding in the dark, and only came out after seeing Domi's moves. She had already figured out that Domi was no match for her, otherwise she would not have come out. She could only save her life by running away on the spot. It was not worth it for Merlin.

"Oh~ Really…"

Chapter 267 Death of the Chosen One

Chapter 267-266- Death of the Chosen

High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Who would have known that Domi had actually discovered Odiliya a long time ago?

If I let this woman run away, I would have to live in darkness forever as a deadly omen.

So in order to lure her out, Domi deliberately kept a trick up his sleeve.

As expected, she came out. After all, this was the job she took on.

After a not-so-exciting but short-lived fight, Domi held a dagger in one hand, lifted Odiliya's hair with the other, and threw her head at the feet of the frightened Merlin.

After seeing Domi cut off Odiliya's head from the neck like killing a chicken, his mind went blank and only one thought remained - my life is over.

But even though his legs were weak, he still did not give up struggling. He crawled backwards while shouting:

"Whatever amount Aurora gives you, I'll give you double! No... triple!"

Domi walked towards him still unmoved.

The long-term intrigues and deceptions have made Merlin forget his fighting instinct.

"I am the chosen one of the Holy Tree. If you kill me, the Holy Tree will not let you go!"

"You will die too! What did that woman promise you to make you work so hard?!"

"It's nothing, actually," Domi finally said, "It's just for Aurora and for myself, so you have to die."

His throat was cut, Merlin's eyes lost focus, and his head hit the ground. The first chosen one of the new era fell.

[You killed 'Merlin, the Chosen One'! The villain value gained by killing him is multiplied fivefold! ]
