A huge dragon roar came from the sky, and the Dark Dragon King rushed to the capital with the giant god, Liu Yueying and others.
When the Dark Dragon King landed, Zhang Ze met with everyone and talked about the current situation.
"I have packed up the amethysts that players logged in and threw them into the flaming lava. As expected, no more players will be able to log in to the game."
Zhang Ze laughed and said: "Howard is still waiting for players to log into the game at dawn and continue fighting for him. Haha, I will let him wait and be lonely."
After hearing his joke, everyone laughed.
"However, although the players will no longer pose a threat, we still can't enter the palace to save people." Moonlight Bunny wondered: "We can't keep this stalemate forever, right?"
"There will always be a way, but we need to think about it carefully." Yiye Zhiqiu said: "Besides, Howard's bad guys are trapped in the palace and cannot come out. Their food and drinking water will eventually run out. By then, They themselves will come out and surrender.”
"I'm afraid this won't work."
After hearing this, Marcus shook his head repeatedly: "It's impossible to trap the people inside because Ethan is inside."
"As a magician, he has the ability to retrieve objects from the air. Although the objects he retrieves cannot be too many or too big, it is not a big problem to retrieve some food and water."
Everyone looked disappointed after hearing this, but Zhang Ze fell into deep thought.
"Retrieving objects from across the air?" He looked at the magic barrier in front of him, trying hard to catch the thought that just flashed through his mind, but he failed to catch it.
"Don't be anxious, you can think of a solution in a while!" He comforted himself.
The palace could not be entered, so Marshal Eddie arranged for soldiers to surround the palace, and then led the remaining troops to clear out the remnants of the rebels in the city.
Marcus, Zhang Ze, Giant God and others were resting in a house near the palace, waiting patiently for dawn.
Zhang Ze was still thinking hard about countermeasures, and he felt that he was about to find a solution.
That night, everyone inside and outside the palace was looking forward to dawn, wondering who the goddess of fate would smile at.
Howard sleeps peacefully, and with the mysterious ring in his hand, he can command players, so he is not worried.
But Ethan stayed up all night. He stood in front of the window and watched the moon set and the sun rise, not knowing what he was thinking.
Queen Louise also didn't sleep all night. She sat on the bed, holding a pair of sharp scissors in her hand. This was the last way she prepared for herself.
"I must not be humiliated!" She bit her lip and said to herself: "As a country, I will not let the traitors succeed!"
She had already made plans, pretending to do what Howard wanted, and when the two got close enough, she would suddenly stab him to death to avenge His Majesty Kiir and eliminate harm for the country!
Everyone is preparing for the next day with their own thoughts.
"Haha, last night was the most comfortable and peaceful sleep I've ever had."
After Howard got up, he turned on the green light screen while enjoying breakfast, preparing to check the player's login status.
"The players did not complete the last mission. They will come online early today to find me..."
But when he saw the [current number of people online] on the light screen, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"0 people? How could this happen? Why are no players logging into the game? Where have they gone?"
Howard finally panicked this time. The player was his trump card, his last trump card, and now it was gone. How could he not panic?
"Is there a problem with the login device? However, there are 32 login devices, and there is not a lot of them. There is no problem!"
He eagerly searched for answers, but everything was normal and there was no problem at all.
After thinking about it, he immediately ordered someone to call Ethan.
"Sir Howard, are you looking for me?"
Ethan looked puzzled, then heard Howard say anxiously: "Ethan, please quickly check the login crystals everywhere. I want to know their situation and why no players have logged in to the game."
The reason why Howard didn't hide his affairs from Ethan was because Ethan was his absolute confidant.
When Ethan was five years old, his parents died of illness, and he lived alone on the streets, begging for a living.
When Howard passed by, he threw a few coins away. As a result, the beggars around him were all scrambling to pick them up, but Ethan was the only one who didn't move.
This made Howard curious, and he immediately stopped and asked Ethan why he didn't pick up the money.
Ethan’s answer was simple: “It’s useless if you pick it up, other beggars will beat you up and take it away. Rather than that, it’s better not to pick it up.”
It was this answer that made Howard take Ethan in because he felt that this child was not simple.
It turns out that Howard is a bad guy, but he has a good eye, and he picked up a treasure.
Ethan was sent to a magician school to study, and his magic talent was immediately discovered. After Marcus passed the test, he happily accepted Ethan as a student.
Therefore, what Ethan is today is all a gift from Howard, and he naturally obeys Howard's words and respects him very much.
Howard also trusts him very much and hides almost nothing from him. Ethan also knows everything about the mysterious ring and players.
Ethan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, please tell me the location."
Afterwards, Ethan used [Sky Eye Technique] to watch remotely according to the location provided by Howard.
"No landing on Amethyst."
"No? How is that possible? Where did the amethyst go?" Howard slammed the table hard and yelled: "Ethan, are you sure you read it correctly?"
"I'm sure." Facing the furious Howard, Ethan looked calm and said, "My [Sky Eye Technique] will never make a mistake unless the location is wrong."
"Then, then you try the Deadwind Trail and the Thousand-Year Ice Lake..."
"……nothing."
Howard was completely dumbfounded. He said in an unbelievable tone: "It shows that all 32 landers are there, why can't they be found? Have they been moved away?"
Ethan narrowed his eyes and said: "Sir Howard, maybe you made some operation error, which is why the player cannot log in... Otherwise, let me try?"
Howard looked at Ethan, shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, this ring is very important to me, I can't give it to anyone!"
Ethan frowned slightly. His test just now failed, but he still looked as normal and said, "Then I'll think of other ways."
Then, under Howard's vigilant gaze, Ethan exited the room, and he thought to himself: "Damn it! I almost got it!"
"After the [Ring of the Ability God] is put on, it cannot be taken off unless the current owner surrenders it voluntarily or dies..."
He hummed: "Howard got this piece of shit luck out of nowhere, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to use it better. It's such a waste!"
He took a deep breath and thought to himself: "Originally, for the sake of taking me out of the sea of suffering, I didn't want to kill you, but you insisted on forcing me..."
"Teacher, Howard...all of you forced me...hum, then don't blame me!"
…
Outside the palace, all the soldiers were waiting.
Marshal Eddie and Marcus looked nervous, they were still worried about the players appearing.
However, after waiting for a long time, no player was seen. The two old men looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
"That Rakshasa didn't lie, the player really didn't come!" Marshal Eddie beamed.
Marcus also smiled and nodded: "It will be much easier without players. As long as we unlock these magic barriers, we can rush into the palace, rescue the queen, and capture Howard!"
"But..." He looked at the layers of magic barriers, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will take a few days to untie them."
The two were talking when Zhang Ze's voice suddenly came from behind: "No need to bother! I will take you in directly!"
"What?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and both looked at Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze, Giant God, Liu Yueying and others were striding this way. He said calmly: "I thought about it all night last night and finally found a way to pass through these magic barriers and enter the palace directly."
"What solution?" Marcus was full of curiosity. Even he, the president of the Magicians Association, had no better solution, so Zhang Ze would know about it.
"Use it!" Zhang Ze raised his right hand and showed him the [Ring of Chaos] on it.
"This ring can summon an ancient god, and it will open a time and space tunnel." Zhang Ze explained while stroking the ring: "As long as the exit of the time and space tunnel is placed in the palace, we can go directly to the palace by walking in from the entrance. .”
Marshal Eddie's eyes widened immediately and he asked in surprise: "And there is such a magical ring?"
Marcus has already reacted: "I know, it's that mysterious creature that uses space magic. You have used it to deal with me before!"
"That's right." Zhang Ze smiled slightly. At this time, the Chaos Lord had appeared in front of everyone.
"Open a space-time tunnel for me, and set the exit inside the palace. Can you do it?"
The Lord of Chaos looked at Zhang Ze with cold eyes: "There is nothing I can't do."
The next moment, it waved its arms, and a space-time vortex appeared in front of everyone.
The Lord of Chaos walked directly in. After a while, it returned from inside and said calmly: "It's ready."
"let's go!"
Zhang Ze took the lead and was the first to rush into the space-time vortex.
Liu Yueying, Giant God, the irritable Dragon King and others followed closely behind and walked in.
Marcus and Marshal Eddie looked at each other. They decided to believe Zhang Ze and tentatively entered the space-time tunnel with the soldiers.
Passing through the dark and weird passage, everyone walked out of the time and space tunnel, and in front of them was a spacious and luxurious room.
"This is... His Majesty's study!"
Marshal Eddie immediately recognized this place, and he said excitedly: "We finally entered the palace!"
Zhang Ze said to the two of them: "You two, we'd better split up. You go catch Howard, and we'll go rescue Queen Louise."
"Okay!" The two old men agreed on the spot.
Afterwards, everyone opened the door and walked out. By chance, a maid in the corridor saw them and was so shocked that she could not speak.
The giant god walked over and covered her mouth, and whispered: "Don't make any noise, we are not bad people... Do you know where Queen Louise and Howard are?"
The maid gradually became quiet and nodded slowly. The giant god slowly let go of her hand, and she whispered: "The queen is locked up in the palace, and Howard is in the council hall."
"Thanks."
The giant god nodded and ran towards the end of the corridor with everyone.
As a result, just after running a few hundred meters away, a group of soldiers appeared at the end of the corridor. When they saw Zhang Ze and others, they immediately shouted: "The enemy is coming in!"
Zhang Ze put on his long bow, raised his hand and shot three arrows, knocking down the three soldiers in front. The whole action was completed in one go, taking no more than three seconds.
The furious Dragon King and Liu Yueying also rushed forward, and after a fierce battle, the remaining soldiers were also eliminated.
Marshal Eddie and Marcus were dumbfounded. They knew Zhang Ze was very powerful, but they didn't expect that Zhang Ze's companions were not ordinary people either.
"Where did the queen find so many experts?" Marshal Eddie sighed: "Everyone is so powerful!"
"Especially that Rakshasa, one person can equal an army!"
Marcus also agreed: "It can also stand up to a magic army!"
Arriving at the middle hall, Zhang Ze and others parted ways with Marshal Eddie and Marcus. One group went to the palace to rescue the queen, while the other group went to the parliament hall to capture Howard.
On the way, Marshal Eddie saw Marcus's face was solemn. He knew what his friend was thinking, and whispered: "What are you going to do with Ethan?"
"..." Marcus was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "According to the laws of the kingdom!"
This sentence means that Marcus wants to kill his relatives and kill Ethan.
Marshal Eddie sighed. He knew very well how difficult it was for Marcus to make this decision.
You know, Ethan is Marcus's most proud disciple, and Marcus even regards him as his own son.
As a result, Ethan betrayed everyone, which made Marcus very sad.
"Old man, your decision is correct." Marshal Eddie comforted him: "Ethan has evil intentions and keeping him here will be a disaster! He must be eliminated!"
Marcus let out a long sigh and nodded: "Let's go, don't let Ethan and Howard run away!"
…
On the other side, Zhang Ze and others had rushed into the palace and successfully found Queen Louise.
Queen Louise thought it was Howard who was coming. She looked nervous and was planning an assassination attempt.
As soon as he saw Zhang Ze, Ju Shen and others, his body immediately relaxed and he cried non-stop in the arms of Liu Yueying and others.
However, she is also a strong woman and returned to normal after crying a few times.
"Marshal Eddie and Marcus went to capture Howard? Let's go too!"
She lifted up her skirt and rushed out of the room, and Zhang Ze and others had no choice but to follow her.
"Players can no longer log in. Is our mission completed?" Little Princess Money ran and said depressedly, "Why haven't we got the key yet?"
Yiye Zhiqiu said helplessly: "Perhaps, the system thinks that the task has not been completed yet..."
"Howard can't escape anyway, so we won't waste much time if we help the queen catch him." Zhang Ze said: "When we catch him, everything will be solved, and the mission will be completed."
So, everyone protected Queen Louise and rushed to the parliament hall.
On the way, they saw many corpses, which should be the work of Marshal Eddie and his friends.
Finally arriving at the parliament hall, the giant god and the irritable Dragon King had just opened the door when they suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from inside!
Zhang Ze frowned: "Is it Howard?"
