"Fourth uncle, there's no need. Just rest. Look at your body. It's not worth taking medicine every day and getting so angry."
Lin Yi walked quickly to the old king and hurriedly put the golden scepter in the old king's hand aside.
Although Lin Yi knew that even if the old king used this thing, he might not be able to break through the defense, he still had to show his attitude.
At this moment, a man with a cold face and a black windbreaker appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision, followed by a majestic big dog.
When Bubu Wang saw Lin Yi, he was stunned for a moment. He was originally going to bark happily twice, but when he thought of Su Xiao's identity at the moment, he held back and did not yell at Lin Yi. Yell.
After Su Xiao saw Lin Yi, her heart was filled with disbelief.
You must know that the identity he exchanged is that of the Iron Hand, one of the four major officials in the kingdom. How could this guy Lin Yi appear here?
Seeing Su Xiao coming, the old king gave Lin Yi a small look, saying that he would take care of you later.
Looking at Su Xiao's young appearance, the old king showed a complicated look in his eyes.
He seemed to see his younger self from Su Xiao's face, the same unruly and high-spirited self.
"You have a young body and powerful force. If I were you, I would definitely get a lot of women and be busy until midnight every day." The old king smiled, with a bit of ridicule in his words.
Su Xiao just stood quietly five meters in front of him, her face as calm as water, and she said nothing.
The old king did not feel angry because of Su Xiao's silence. On the contrary, he had long been accustomed to this silence.
The old king noticed that Su Xiao glanced at Lin Yi quickly after entering the door.
However, the old king didn't care.
In his mind, Lin Yi's current performance was very much in line with his wishes.
Although this guy made it clear that he was not prepared to inherit the throne, the old king was not prepared to let the election for the throne affect Lin Yi.
Therefore, this time, Lin Yi was specially asked to stand here when Su Xiao came over. On the one hand, he wanted Lin Yi to understand the situation in the kingdom, and on the other hand, he also wanted Su Xiao to help Lin Yi to scare other forces and stop them from messing around. Intervene.
"How many dissidents have you helped me get rid of? Cough cough cough cough cough..." The old king put his fist tightly in front of his mouth and let out a violent dry cough. The sound was as if his lungs were being coughed out of his chest.
This time, he didn't deliberately avoid Lin Yi when he spoke.
"257 people." Su Xiao replied expressionlessly, her tone as calm as if she was telling a normal thing.
He clearly knew how many dissidents the "Iron Hand" had helped the old king get rid of. After all, this was extremely important information.
"Are there already so many people?" A complicated look flashed in the old king's eyes, showing both helplessness and pain.
"Right has made too many people lose their way, but they have forgotten that there are undead spirits outside the God's Wall who want to drive away all humans." The old king leaned on the throne, his body looking a little tired.
A wisp of coughed up saliva clung to the beard on his chin, but he ignored it.
"Iron Hand, can I believe you?" The old king leaned forward slightly. His eyes were no longer cloudy, but became extremely sharp, like two sharp swords, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts easily.
"Of course." Su Xiao's answer was concise and powerful, without any hesitation.
"I can't hold on much longer."
"..." Su Xiao remained silent, just looking at the old king quietly. He knew that silence at this time was more powerful than words.
"You cannot reveal this secret even if you die."
"clear."
Lidya Su still had that calm tone.
"My descendants are all on their way to the Holy City, and a new successor to the throne will appear among them."
The old king's words let Su Xiao know that the topic was coming.
"Only those who are wise enough are qualified to inherit the throne. This is something passed down by King Iron Crown, and it is also the key to the prosperity of the kingdom to this day. My children add up, there are almost... 48, no, 49. They There may be someone who can inherit the throne, or there may not be one, but no matter what, the surname 'Herbert' will never be cut off. This is one of the reasons why we can fight against the undead."
"Iron Hand, after they gathered in the royal capital, the struggle for power began. I want you to assist the winning successor to the throne, just like you are assisting me now. Before the successor appears, you help me monitor them , if they become rebellious, help me deal with them." The old king's tone seemed to be an understatement, but what he wanted to deal with was his biological heirs.
Following the old king's words, Lin Yi and Su Xiao's main tasks were finally activated at the same time.

……
"Counting the time, several of my heirs will arrive early tomorrow morning. Tonight, you can help me deal with a few of them." As the old king said, he took out a small roll of parchment from his arms, and Su Xiao took a few steps forward. He came to the old king and took the parchment.
"There is no need to let them disappear secretly this time. The new heir to the throne cannot convince the public. You need to let them know the consequences of confronting the surname 'Herbert'. No, let everyone in the royal capital know that you are iron-clad." The hand is my Bayherbert’s sharpest knife.”
"Lin Yi, tonight you serve as my eyes and follow Iron Hand to these people's homes. Remember, no one will be left behind."
The old king patted Lin Yi's forearm. In order to ensure Lin Yi's safety before the new king came to power, the old king specially arranged for Lin Yi and Su Xiao to do this dirty work together.
In this way, Lin Yi is equivalent to a member of the Iron Hand faction in the eyes of outsiders.
As long as those heirs to the throne are not fools, they will not threaten Lin Yi easily.
You must know that the Iron Hand's power can be great or small. It is different from the position of General.
For these crown princes, the Iron Hand is a greater threat than the general.
Because the Iron Hand really has the right to kill them.
Su Xiao knew that what she had to do was very simple, which was to kill those who had ulterior motives.
Tonight, there will be bloodshed in the capital.
"You bring 50 direct guards of the royal family, and be sure to leave no one behind." The old king stared at Lin Yi and said while taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Lin Yi shrugged helplessly, indicating that he understood.
"You bastard, get out of here as soon as you find out. Iron Hand, I will entrust this boy to you for the time being. If anything goes wrong with him during this period, you don't have to come to see me again."
"yes."
Su Xiao looked at the old king expressionlessly, not wavering at all because of the old king's words, just like a cold-faced killer.
After saying that, Su Xiao turned around and prepared to walk out of the meeting hall. He did not use any honorifics, because he was an iron hand, and it was his mission to get rid of dissidents for the old king. Those complicated etiquette were not important to him at all. It makes no sense.
Looking at Su Xiao's leaving figure, the old king showed a trace of regret on his face.
"Lin Yi."
"What's wrong, Fourth Uncle?"
"If Hardy does something outrageous, give him a chance to change."
The old king closed his eyes tightly. The Hadi he spoke of was the eldest prince, a 47-year-old prince. For the eldest son, the old king gave him an extra privilege.
"Cousin? Yes, I will tell Iron Hand about this matter."
"Then Fourth Uncle, I'm leaving. Also, if the broken medicine doesn't work, let's not take it. You don't want to be a Necromancer when you die."
"You brat, you're educating me before I'm dead? Get out of here right now." The old king waved his hand in mock anger, as if he was about to pick up the golden scepter on one side.
"Yes yes yes."
Seeing Lin Yi's leaving figure, a smile appeared on the old king's face.
How many years has it been, how many years has he not been so happy inside? ten years? Twenty years? The old king himself could no longer remember clearly.
He vaguely remembered that since he was fifteen years old, he had been forced to learn all kinds of knowledge about governing the country, and from then on he embarked on a road full of blood and cruelty to fight for the throne.
The old king sat up with great effort. He stood in front of the throne with a ragged figure, his eyes showing vicissitudes of life and exhaustion.
He had a difficult victory in the power struggle 45 years ago, and as a price, he personally killed all his close relatives, including his father.
That dark past, like a heavy shackle, has been weighing on his heart.
I thought I would never experience the warm feeling of family love again in this life, but I didn't expect that I would meet this little guy Lin Yi before I died. Perhaps, God really saw how pitiful he was and sent Lin Yi down specially.
Ten minutes later, Lin Yi and Su Xiao met at Iron Hand's residence.
The courtyard of this house is extremely spacious, but the courtyard is overgrown with grass. Looking at it, it seems that it has not been taken care of for a long time.
The pool was half dry, and there was no trace of any living creatures in the pale green water.
Lin Yi was surprised to find that there were no servants in Su Xiao's residence. No, strictly speaking, there were two servants, and they were the two little lolita who looked to be only about ten years old.
"Holy crap! Su Xiao, you guy has such a strong taste! You don't let go of a ten-year-old child. No wonder you always look cold and have no feelings for anyone. I, Lin, am ashamed to talk to you. Together." Seeing the two little twins running back and forth to clean the room for Su Xiao, Lin Yi had an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he had seen something extremely amazing.
After listening to Lin Yi's words, Su Xiao couldn't hold herself any longer.
As for Bu Bu Wang on the side, he was already lying on the ground, laughing so hard that he couldn't help but laugh.
The atmosphere in the entire courtyard became a little weird for a moment, and Su Xiao's face was full of black lines, not knowing how to respond to Lin Yi's sudden accusation.
"Okay, okay, I'll have these two guys when I come in." Su Xiao hurriedly explained. He didn't dare to tell the story about finding two little lolita warming his bed when he came in.
Otherwise, with Lin Yi's big mouth, sooner or later everyone in the Samsara Paradise will think that Su Xiao is a lolicon. By then, Su Xiao will not be able to clean himself up even if he really jumps into the Yellow River.
"By the way, what is your current status? Why is the old king so generous to you." Su Xiao glanced at Lin Yi, full of doubts in her heart.
According to his understanding of the old king, that guy was not an ordinary person.
If there was any flaw in Su Xiao's performance today, he would not be able to successfully walk out of the heavily guarded palace.
Who wouldn't dare to kill someone like the old king who has sat on the throne his whole life? The position of the Iron Hand looks awesome, but in fact it is just a dog of the old king. As long as the old king is willing, the Iron Hand can be replaced at any time.
This time it was just a loyalty test from the old king, but Su Xiao passed it by luck.
"My identity is the vice-president of the Alchemy Academy, but my other identity is that I am the surviving son of the previous prince. To the old king, I am equivalent to his eldest nephew."
"No wonder, you don't have the authority to inherit the throne, and you have no hatred for the royal family. It seems that the old king is ready to protect you in this whirlpool." Su Xiao's mind was spinning very fast, almost before Lin Yi finished speaking his words After identifying his identity, he analyzed the causes and consequences.
The junction between the Kingdom of Saint Sodin and the Empire of the Dead, the Wall of God, and the Lulimas Snowfield.
This ice wall is a hundred meters high and more than ten meters wide, like an insurmountable barrier.
At this time, a large group of soldiers wearing warm clothes were standing on the ice wall and roaring. They lined up in a row and worked together to operate thousands of heavy crossbows.
"Collapse!" There was a loud noise, the taut crossbow string suddenly loosened, and the falling snowflakes in the sky were shattered into large pieces.
A crossbow arrow made of metal shot out. This crossbow arrow was at least three meters long. Its huge size did not look like a weapon used to deal with humans.
The metal crossbow arrows tore through the air like lightning and hit the bottom of the ice wall almost instantly.
There was only a muffled sound, and it shot through the body of a humanoid creature without any obstruction.
With a "pop" sound, the upper body of the humanoid creature exploded, and light green blood splashed everywhere. Its lower body rushed forward a few steps and then fell to the ground.
Under the ice wall, countless humanoid creatures rushed towards the ice wall like a tide.
Their skin is pale and their appearance is almost the same as that of humans, but their eyes are green, a frightening green color.
Just staring into these eyes makes one's hair stand on end.
Yes, they are the Necrons.
There are many Necrons, but they are not cannon fodder. On the contrary, they all wear finely forged armor and have sharp weapons in their hands. Looking at their charge formation, they are clearly a well-trained army.
"Gait (for the king)!"
"Gait (for the king)!"
Hundreds of thousands of undead clan roared and rushed towards the ice wall. They are not emotionless creatures. On the contrary, the undead are a kind of creatures with a dead brain. As long as it is something they are sure of, they will do it no matter what the cost. To do that.
No one knows why the Necrons are so obsessed with attacking the God's Wall.
You know, the territory they occupy is much richer than the Kingdom of Saint Sodin.
In addition to the harsh climate, which completely overwhelms the territory of the Saint Sodin Kingdom in terms of resources, the Necrons will naturally develop their territory.
Before the Wall of God appeared, the Necromancer army was able to defeat the human army. This was because their forging technology was more advanced and their military quality far exceeded that of humans.
The undead are intelligent. According to investigations by human sages (sages: similar to scientific researchers), the undead have very high IQs and their creativity even exceeds that of humans.
It is really incomprehensible that such a highly intelligent race would persist in attacking a strong wall that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The human soldiers didn't understand, and neither did their commanders, but they all knew one thing, that is, the undead must never be allowed to break through the God's Wall.
Boom, boom, boom...
The snowfield shook, and hundreds of thousands of undead souls rushed under the ice wall. The outside of the ice wall was almost vertical. The hundred-meter-high ice wall was as smooth as a mirror, making it extremely difficult to climb.
Whoosh, whoosh...
Metal crossbow arrows fell from the sky, and in an instant, a thousand Necrons were stabbed into skewers and nailed to the frozen soil.
After the undead rushed under the ice wall, they raised their arms flat and stretched them backwards.
Ding, ding, ding...
A handful of hook-shaped arm blades popped out of the metal arm guards of the undead. They jumped up almost at the same time, and the hooks on their arms hooked towards the ice wall.
Crisp sounds came one after another. Because the ice wall was too hard, most of the Necrons failed, and only a few succeeded.
They began to climb up. Although many undead fell down during the climb, there were still hundreds of undead that successfully climbed up.
"Here we go again, these ice skins are really stupid." A soldier on the ice wall spat. "Ice skin" is their name for the undead.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and replace the explosive arrows. If these undead climb up, many brothers will die." The "explosive arrows" mentioned by the soldier on the side are actually a special metal crossbow arrow.
This kind of crossbow arrow will completely split after being fired. A three-meter-long metal crossbow arrow will split into at least a hundred.
It's just that the "Split Arrow" is expensive to make and will not be used except when the undead climb the Wall of God.
Boom, boom, boom... the rapid sound of war drums spread across the ice wall.
Hearing the sound of the war drums, all the soldiers threw themselves under the low raised wall at the edge of the ice wall. This was almost their instinctive action.
Dense black spots fell from the sky. If you look closely, you will find that these black spots are black pointed cones about one meter long.
The pointed cone is covered with black spiral patterns, the whole body is slender and has strong penetrating power.
This is the long-range method of the undead army, a weapon called "Death Spin". However, "Death Spin" is the transliteration of this weapon, and translated into human language it is "Black Curtain Rain".
There was a "pop" and ice shards flew. A black pointed cone pierced into the ice wall, and the splashed ice shards hit a soldier's face, and a drop of blood seeped out of his face, which shows how powerful this black pointed cone is.
'Black Curtain Rain' is a very terrifying long-range weapon. Its only weakness is that it takes a long time to reload. Human soldiers all know this, so they immediately left the bunker and aimed metal crossbows at the Necrons below. .
"Someone fell off the wall!!" A loud roar spread across the ice wall. Normally speaking, it would be nothing if a soldier fell off the ice wall in this cruel war. However, this is not the case.
This is not the case. Once a soldier falls from the ice wall, nearby soldiers will immediately use crossbows to shoot the soldier who fell off the wall. This is to help reduce the pain of his comrades. Being captured alive by the undead is too terrifying. That is not wisdom. How life deserves to be treated.
More than a dozen crossbows were aimed at the 'soldier' who fell off the wall.
"Captain!" Hundreds of soldiers roared at the edge of the ice wall. It was obvious that the one who fell into the ice wall was an officer with a high position.
A young soldier swallowed his saliva. He did not shout like other soldiers because he clearly saw that his commander jumped off the ice wall on his own initiative.
call!
Blue and white flames gushed out from the body of the fallen captain, and the crossbowmen who were aiming at him immediately turned around and ignored the fallen captain, because they were holy warriors.
With a bang, the captain landed, and the surrounding large areas of snow melted, exposing the wet ground. But in the next moment, the water in the soil was evaporated by the high temperature, and the ground hundreds of meters around began to dry out.
At this moment, on the Wall of God, dozens of contractors were fighting among the crowd.
Some of them were unable to negotiate smoothly with others because they were beggars, so they had no choice but to start with the army.
In this way, at least there won't be too much shortage of materials.
The only problem is that this ghost place is too dangerous.
Heslett was currently wearing a suit of armor, standing on the Wall of God, looking at the charging Necrons below, with a look of disdain on his face.
"It just so happened that the king ordered the capture of some undead monarchs, and he was worried about where to find them. Since you have sent them to the door, I won't be polite." Behind Heslett, stood the strongest man in the kingdom. Several holy warriors.
They have only one mission, which is to capture the undead monarch and make medicine for the old king. (End of chapter)
