"Klaus, is what he said true?"
Empress Yekana's eyes were always fixed on her children. The succubus standing next to her was already trembling because of the powerful aura of the Empress.
"Yes, Mother."
Prince Klaus understood that he had been forced into a dead end. Behind him was a bottomless cliff. Faced with such a situation, every man from the Iron Nation would choose to pull out his sword and fight to the death.
"Then show me."
Prince Klaus was stunned by Empress Yekana's next words, but he quickly bowed to his mother solemnly.
"Understood."
Prince Klaus didn't hesitate much and quickly walked to the competition area.
"Your Highness is here. You can go down and rest!"
Gill had been looking forward to this moment for a few hours. He immediately whispered to the attendant in charge of the middle lane.
The attendant didn't seem to understand what was going on. He watched as Prince Klaus walked to the side of the nominal leader, General Fred.
"Klaus …" General Fred didn't show any joy when he saw Prince Klaus enter the field. Instead, he let out a long sigh.
It was unknown whether he was sighing for his own incompetence or feeling sorry for Prince Klaus' almost sacrificial behavior.
"This is the time to say, 'General, I want to fight the Holy Spirits.'"
Josiah walked to the side of Prince Klaus and General Fred as a referee.
"Since Prince Klaus is a substitute member of the Iron Nation team, he has the right to enter the field. May I ask if your team wants to substitute members?"
Josiah announced the simple rules to everyone. This inquiry was approved by General Fred and Prince Klaus.
"Go down and rest," General Fred said to the attendant in charge of the middle lane.
With this order, the attendant left the field and Prince Klaus sat in the position of the middle lane player.
"Your Highness, you are finally willing to enter the field. I can finally be saved!" Gill whispered to Prince Klaus.
Saved what?
Klaus really wanted to question his friend.
In fact, Prince Klaus had no chance of winning. As a bystander, he could see that the Land of Frost had spent a lot of money to nurture or recruit Holy Ghost players.
Even if Klaus took the field himself, he felt that he would only be able to put on a good show and then lose.
So what the hell am I doing?
The thought surfaced in Prince Klaus' mind.
He opened his Weave interface and held the crystal mouse in his hand, taking a deep breath.
For the sake of victory in a Weave game, I'm going to throw away a year of my youth and return to that 'furnace'?
At this moment, he only felt regret. But Sophia's voice rang in Prince Klaus's ears again.
"This time, I will defeat you in the Holy Spirit."
When Prince Klaus heard Sophia's words, no matter how hard he tried to restrain his emotions, his heart was still engulfed by a nameless rage.
"Sorry, I'm the winner of this round."
Prince Klaus gave his reply in a cold voice. The match was about to begin.
"General, can you give me command of this battle?" Prince Klaus asked.
"Go ahead and fight, Your Highness."
The third battle between the Iron Nation and the Land of Frost had begun. Prince Klaus chose his best hero, Blacksmith Master Bazuli, without any hesitation.
At this moment, Josiah did not continue to watch and took the initiative to carry the responsibility of an incompetent commentator.
Since there were only 15 heroes in the Holy Spirit test this time, there was no BAN selection system during the competition.
The start of the competition also eased the atmosphere in the Hearthstone Tavern.
"Klaus' Blacksmith Master and Sophia's Trembling have encountered each other in the river …"
In this battle, Josh could see that the Nation of Iron was in a state of rage. Under Klaus' command, they went straight towards the enemy's wilderness to outflank them from the start.
The opponent did not expect the Iron Nation to be so reckless.
A small team battle began in the jungle, but in the end, the Iron Nation showed signs of weakness.
"Blacksmith Master and Trembling have less than one-tenth of their HP left. The Iron Nation has chosen to retreat!"
Empress Yekana stared at the battle on the screen. Even an outsider like her could see that this was a thrilling battle. Trembling had already escaped from the Iron Nation's encirclement, and the Iron Nation's heroes could only choose to retreat.
What a pity …
Empress Yekana looked at Trembling who only had a sliver of HP left, and such a thought emerged in her mind.
Her gaze shifted to Ino, who was not far away. Just as she was about to ask the tavern attendant about his relationship with Klaus, Josiah's voice made her instantly turn her gaze to the screen.
"It's not over yet. Blacksmith Master has activated the cannon mode!"
The scene on the screen was three minutes later than what the players saw, so Josiah's commentary would not reveal the battle situation.
On the screen, Blacksmith Master's left mechanical arm suddenly turned into a giant cannon. A red line appeared on the ground, aiming at Trembling who was far away from the forest.
Trembling seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly leaped into the air, trying to use this displacement to escape the attack. However, Blacksmith Master was aiming at where he landed!
"Klaus killed Thunder Crystal!"
"First drop of HP."
These two lines suddenly appeared on the screen. At this moment, Empress Yekana heard applause coming from beside her.
She turned her head in surprise. Unbeknownst to her, the dwarves and spellcasters in the Hearthstone Tavern were all looking at her.
Empress Yekana was surprised because she did not notice their gazes … She was too focused on the battle situation.
Blacksmith Master's maneuver this time was simply amazing. It felt like he was toying with the enemy in the palm of his hand.
Although most of the customers in the Hearthstone Tavern did not understand the rules of the game, Josiah had absolute confidence in the battle performance of this game.
After all, Josiah spent a lot of effort on the character modeling and skill effects.
When the huge cannon made of gears fired a magic beam that burned the surrounding trees into ashes, it struck the Trembling Ones far above the map.
Even to a layman, this scene could be described as spectacular.
Empress Yekana was not stingy with her applause.
After the first drop of HP was obtained by Iron Nation, the battle continued.
At this moment, Empress Yekana looked at Yi Nuo.
… …
"Beauty is a weapon for women. You need to understand this."
Empress Yekana was holding a cup of steaming black tea, which was provided by Josh out of friendship. Sitting beside her was Ino, who had an uneasy look on his face.
This scene made Josiah feel that the Empress was not sitting in the Hearthstone Tavern, but was inviting someone for afternoon tea in a garden somewhere.
"You dressed well in 'Beauty and the Devil'. Why are you staying in the tavern as a servant?" Empress Yekana asked again.
"Because … I have to go to school."
Enoch replied in a submissive voice.
Josiah could see that the Empress was in a good mood. The reason was that after Prince Klaus joined the team, the Iron Nation team had won two consecutive rounds.
At this moment, the scales of victory seemed to be tilting towards the Iron Nation's side. Now, Prince Klaus was preparing a strategy for the final battle.
The two consecutive victories made Empress Yekana talk to Ino about … future life plans.
Josiah eavesdropped on the conversation for a long time. This was the only way to describe the conversation between the Empress and Ino.
At first, the impression that the Empress gave Josiah was very similar to Mrs. Sizer. However, after feeling her "aura" several times and Prince Klaus's fearful expression …
Josiah understood that she was completely different from Mrs. Sizer.
Mrs. Sizer was a typical noblewoman. When she interacted with others, one could feel her elegant and gentle side.
Although they were very strict with their children, Mrs. Sizer was acting as a mother. This Empress was more inclined to … be a strict and vicious "Dean."
However, the problem was that an ordinary Dean would at most give a little corporal punishment after a student made a mistake. This Empress' punishment might be at the level of "bringing disaster to the whole family."
However, any older woman had a hobby, and that was to talk about family matters.
"Well, I still have work."
Ino mustered up the courage to ask. He seemed to have had enough of this "Dean."
The moment the succubus said this, Ino noticed that the teacup in Empress Yekana's hand had cracked.
At this moment, Ino was so scared that he almost cried. However, when Ino noticed Empress Yekana's gaze, he realized that it was not because of what he said that angered the Empress, but because of the battle on the screen behind him.
The match between the Iron Nation and the Land of Frost had entered its final stage.
In the third round, the Iron Nation still had the advantage. That was why Empress Yekana could happily drink her red tea and wait for the end of the battle to mock the old fox.
However, in the later wave of team battle, the Land of Frost once again took back the advantage. The Land of Frost only sacrificed two people to kill all the heroes of the Iron Nation.
The situation of the battle reversed in an instant. The heroes of the Land of Frost went directly to the enemy's high ground and pointed their swords at the energy center of the Iron Nation.
In this moment of despair, Prince Klaus decisively ordered everyone to use all their money to "buy lives." In other words, they used money to exchange for a second chance for the heroes to fight.
The moment the enemy began to wantonly destroy the buildings on the high ground, Master Craftsman Bazuli and Bent Sword Gemael were resurrected under the illumination of the light. They rushed straight out of the spring and fought with the enemy's three heroes.
"This may be the last game for the Iron Nation. Bent Sword Gemael instantly killed the enemy's Deep Sea Banshee with a critical hit!" Josiah also explained dutifully.
"Madam Yekana?"
Ino called out to Empress Yekana. She wanted to remind her that the crack on the teacup had caused the red tea inside to seep out.
However, Empress Yekana's eyes were fixed on the screen. She did not notice the red tea that fell on her dress.
"Your red tea …" Ino reminded her softly again.
"Now is not the time!"
However, Empress Yekana did not even look at Ino. Under her majestic shout, Ino whimpered and shut her mouth.
Only the Master Craftsman and Bent Sword Gemael were left in the Iron Nation's team. After they killed all the invading heroes, these two heroes carried the team's last hope and rushed straight into the enemy's hinterland.
However, the enemy was also prepared to "buy lives." While the Master Craftsman and Bent Sword Gemael destroyed the enemy's buildings on the high ground, the three enemy heroes also resurrected and rushed out of the spring.
At this moment, the Master Craftsman was already destroying the enemy's energy center!
"My skills deal more damage to the buildings than your normal attacks. Gill, go hold them back!"
Klaus' words could be heard by almost everyone in the tavern. He roared out these words.
Therefore, on the screen, Bent Sword Gemael was prepared to sacrifice himself and rushed straight towards the three enemies. However, this hero was not the type that could take a beating. Even though he poured all his skills on them, he only managed to hold the enemy's three heroes for less than three seconds.
During this time, the Master Craftsman set up his cannon and started a frenzied bombardment of the enemy's energy center. The energy center's HP rapidly decreased, but the enemy's heroes had already arrived.
Trembling descended from the sky, and the ground instantly cracked. The Master Craftsman was stunned, but Trembling and the other two heroes were also stunned.
They had triggered the landmines that the Master Craftsman had planted!
When both sides woke up again, Prince Klaus was still pouring out his anger towards the energy crystal.
He seemed to see the fire burning the surroundings, and the hero under his command falling to the ground under the enemy's attack, covered in blood. At the last moment, the Master Craftsman raised his iron arm and pressed the self-destruct button.
The final explosion appeared on the screen. Prince Klaus stared closely at the enemy's energy crystal. It only had 270 HP left.
Divine Protection … The enemy's bishop, Kai Hiri, used her ultimate skill to block this almost destructive blow at the last moment.
Prince Klaus' hands trembled. He knew that defeat was inevitable. This defeat was far more unreconciled than his defeat in the Sage's Trial.
