Alien Knights

Todd rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, the development of the situation made him feel more and more headache.

Originally, there were already three factions fighting each other in the Holy Acropolis, plus the Muxi Kingdom and the Church, and then the Presbyterian Church. Now the whole situation has been stirred up like a pot of porridge.

"I'm going to visit the Holy Acropolis."

Rachel was taken aback by Todd's words.

The latter looked at his serious face, lowered his eyelids and asked, "Is it because of someone?"

Hearing this, Todd didn't realize the deep meaning of the other party's words, but asked strangely, "Because of someone?"

Rachel raised her head, as if nothing had happened: "The current Holy Acropolis is not a good place to go, there are mixed fish and dragons, and the situation is critical... Besides, you have just finished commanding a big battle, don't you want to take a break?"

As if he had resigned himself to running around and working hard, Todd shrugged his shoulders: "The word rest seems to have disappeared from me. The irony is that a long time ago, the thing I most hoped for was to lie in bed and live my life comfortably."

Rachel poked the other party's forehead lightly with her finger: "The old guys in Muxi City thought you were willing to give up power for the future of the kingdom. But I know very well that the reason you did that was because of laziness."

Todd chose silence with a wry smile.

"Selection of officials, revision of laws, formation of a cabinet...all these things you do are to spread the burden of the king to others." Rachel lowered her head, and the faint scent of her body filled the noses of the two of them: "I've been thinking for a long time, how can there be such a temperamental king in the world, in order to save trouble and keep quiet, he actually gave others the power that everyone covets."

Rachel's words made Todd laugh.

He looked at the woman who was close at hand, and recalled the details of the two of them getting along, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the feeling she gave him was really wonderful.

Speaking of body, Rachel does not have the internet celebrity face and skinny like the woman in her previous life. Her appearance and figure are more in line with Western classical aesthetics. Graceful figure, white skin like jade, exquisite and soft facial features.

But as the saying goes, good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are one in a million.

What attracted Todd the most about this woman was her intelligence and mystery.

Seeing Todd staring at her intently, Rachel bent down and lay on his body. The two balls of nephrite on her chest were changing shapes. She said with a light smile, "Am I not right? Your Majesty the king who would rather give up power to be lazy?"

Todd, who came back to his senses, kissed the other party's lips lightly: "Even if what you said makes sense, I'm still very busy every day..."

Rachel pinched his nose amusedly: "Who can blame this? You can't blame yourself. You clearly want to let go of everything wholeheartedly, but you are always controlled by emotions called responsibility. This makes you choose a difficult and dangerous path time and time again in order to save others and fulfill your promise."

Todd's eyes lost focus, looked into the distance, and muttered in his mouth: "Responsibility...?"

"I really don't understand. In another world, is everyone like you, or is it just you who are unique?" Rachel slowly lifted Todd's collar, and carefully kissed Todd's neck: "Perhaps it is this contradiction in you that is the biggest reason that attracts me."

Todd folded his arms, rolled over, and pressed Rachel under him. Just about to make another move, a soft sound caused him to look back.

After packing up her armor, Deirdre, who had just come down from the second floor, happened to see this voluptuous scene on the recliner. She was so frightened that she quickly covered her eyes with her hands and let out a shy cry.

Rachel, who was lying under Todd and couldn't move, first gave Todd a hard look, then stretched out her white and tender arm, waved to Deirdre, and said angrily, "What are you shouting for! Why don't you come over?"

Looking at the daylight outside the window, Deirdre, who hesitated again and again, finally moved towards the reclining chair step by step.

The privacy of the bed, the clouds and rain rest for a while.

Todd glanced at the drowsy Deirdre, took the mead from Rachel, sat on the fur carpet, sipped it lightly, and said, "I'm going to go to the Holy Acropolis after finishing the camp."

Rachel, who was only wearing a light gauze, pinched the soft flesh of Todd's waist with her fingers with a dissatisfied expression: "After venting your anger, you don't even have a heart-warming word!"

Seeing Todd's apologetic face, Rachel sat in his arms and said generously: "Forget it, you said you were going to the Holy Acropolis, but you don't know what's going on there."

"During the battle in the ancient city, I captured a church deacon named Chalifield. From him, I learned the secret code and organization location of the slave trader. Using the power of shaping, I was able to use his identity to sneak into the Holy Acropolis and the top leaders of the church."

Rachel leaned her back against Todd's chest, and sipped the nectar in the cup: "This is indeed a way. If only the guys from the Holy Acropolis and the church, maybe you can really get away with it. But the intervention of the Presbyterian Church has made the situation in the Holy Acropolis even more dangerous. I don't need to remind you, you should know that there are all kinds of aliens in that organization, and you don't even know what their abilities are."

Todd nodded: "So, this trip to the Holy Acropolis, I need help. I met people from the Alien Association in the ancient city, and they helped me a lot. Maybe there are such people in the Holy Acropolis?"

"Don't think things are too simple." Rachel turned her head and gave Todd a blank look: "Among the northern states, the Presbyterian Church has the weakest management, so I can blatantly recruit helpers there; but in the kingdoms in the parish, the Presbyterian Council has strict management, and it is very difficult to develop alien resisters in these places."

Todd sighed slightly.

Rachel glanced at him: "Although there is no way to find enough helpers, it may be possible to find some contacts to understand the situation... But there is a premise."

"Premise? What?"

"I must go to the Holy Acropolis with you."

Todd frowned: "You're going with me? But the camp still needs someone to manage it..."

Rachel seems to have already planned everything: "The fleet from Muxi City will come back soon, and besides the refugees from the Holy Acropolis, they will also bring a large number of administrative staff. They can take over all management affairs of the camp... Besides, don't you still have a "soul link"? Just hold regular meetings."

After thinking about Rachel's analysis carefully, Todd felt quite reasonable, but he was still a little worried about the other party's safety: "The current situation in the Holy Acropolis is unknown. If you go there, if you encounter danger...?"

"Are you worried about my ability to protect myself?" Rachel laughed: "How did I survive the years before I met you? Don't you think I just relied on luck?"

Todd was at a loss for words, and finally simply raised his hands, agreeing to Rachel's accompanying.

"With the victory of this battle, the population of the Froststone camp may exceed 10,000. Including the refugees from the Holy Acropolis who will move in soon, the total population here will reach 15,000." Todd stretched out his arms, hugged Rachel and said: "There are so many people, whether it is customs, residence, division of labor or belief, there are great differences. How to manage it will be a big problem."

Snuggled into Todd's arms, Rachel felt as if her body and soul had entered a safe haven. She relaxed her whole body and murmured in a low voice, "Well, so?"

"Before we leave, I need to find a way to integrate people's relationship as soon as possible." Todd buried his face in Rachel's silky hair, and took a deep breath: "But now..."

Rachel's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked behind her in surprise: "Hey! What are you doing?! I really have no strength... um..."

Deirdre, who was awakened by the movement around her, looked at the bright spring in front of her eyes, quickly turned over, closed her eyes, and pretended to fall asleep again.
