Volume 2: Empire Chapter 159 Heroic Creatures
Luke and his party did not go to the Emperor's bedroom, but headed for the residences of the Royal Knights and Palace Guards. The Beautiful Girls' Boiling Squad and the Ravens led the way, and the soldiers of the City Guards who met along the way surrendered one after another.
The return of the Queen gave the confused Royal Knights and Palace Guards a backbone. After hearing Queen Christina's order and seeing the Queen accompanied by the Cabinet Special Minister Meteor and the eldest Princess Agatha, they immediately joined the Queen's army.
The guards of the palace launched a counterattack against the invaders, and more and more knights and guards rushed to the emperor's bedroom to rescue Emperor Augustine who was in crisis.
When Luke and his companions arrived at the Emperor's bedroom, it was already a chaotic battle. Soldiers from both sides abandoned their formations and used only clothing to distinguish between foes and friends, killing each other in chaos.
Knight Milscom was besieged by several warriors wearing bear-shaped armor. His armor was already damaged in many places, and blood stained a large area of the armor. But he still stood in front of the door of the emperor's bedroom, but the door of the bedroom had been opened, and he could only try his best to stop more people from entering.
There were only a few knights and guards left who followed him to guard the emperor's bedroom.
Agatha saw Knight Milscombe being besieged by the warriors of the Assault Bear Squad, and immediately ordered "Raven" to rescue them.
The ace agents of the Secret Service acted swiftly, using magic and combat skills, and the surprise attack and concentrated fire immediately suppressed the assault bear warrior. Knight Milscom was brought to Queen Christina, and he knelt on one knee with his sword, bleeding and exhausted: "Seeing that Your Majesty has returned safely, I can die with my eyes closed."
Queen Christina released healing magic, and magical stardust sprinkled on Knight Milscombe's head: "Your Majesty, what is your current condition? Where is Fania?"
Milscom pointed to the palace gate and said, "I have informed His Majesty of Fania's coup, but His Majesty did not respond. Fania rushed in with several assault bear warriors... I did not stop them. It was my fault."
"You've done a great job, just leave the rest to us."
Milscombe struggled to his feet: "As long as I can breathe, I will fight for your Majesty and your Highness."
"Since you insist, come with us to see His Majesty."
Queen Christina walked towards the door of the Emperor's bedroom with the sword of authority in her hand, and Luke and Agatha followed behind her.
A silver moon was shining in the sky, snow was falling heavily, and the whole city was filled with fierce battles.
Under the emperor's bedroom, there was a hall painted in pure white. The ground was as smooth as a mirror, and the dome reflected the image of the sky. A city sitting on the clouds was faintly visible in the white clouds.
In the middle of the hall, four angel statues face a white jade stand in the middle. The angel statues hold four sets of armor in their hands, and a helmet with a crown is placed on the white jade stand.
Faintly, there was a hymn chanted like the wind.
Suddenly, the door of the hall was pushed open, and several humanoid servants walked in. They came to the angel statue with chairs and various ritual utensils, and quickly set up the formations required for the ceremony.
Then Emperor Augustine was helped into the hall.
At this time, Augustine the Great no longer looked old, but looked like he was young, but he was very, very weak and could not walk on his own.
Augustine the Great was placed on a chair. The torture brought to him by the extraordinary transformation made him no longer have the majesty of a king. His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his vitality was almost gone.
"Is there no other way?"
Emperor Augustine asked the extraordinary transformer.
The extraordinary transformer was a man of transparent crystal. He picked up a scalpel and came to Emperor Augustine.
"Your Majesty, I told you before you started the extraordinary transformation. Extraordinary transformation requires a gradual process and involves certain risks. Especially if you want to increase your lifespan through extraordinary transformation and maintain your human form, the success rate is very low.
If you give me some more time..."
"I have given you enough time. My son has lost his patience." Emperor Augustine was angry, but his voice was weak: "Milescom sent a message that Fania has led his troops into the palace!"
The crystal man was not afraid of Augustine's anger. He shrugged and said, "That's your family matter. I just explained it to you from the perspective of magic, alchemy, and science.
Do you really want to transform into a heroic creature?"
"Do I have a choice?"
While the two were talking, the door of the hall was violently kicked open.
Fania led six assault bear warriors in. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Emperor Augustine’s appearance at this moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Father, is this the reason why you have not shown up?
Extraordinary transformation, prolonging life, you are really obsessed with it!
You are immortal, what should I do? "
Emperor Augustine did not expect Fania to come so quickly. It seemed that the situation outside was more serious than he had imagined. He really had not shown up for too long, and people's hearts had been scattered...
Seeing Fania dressed in the emperor's attire, Emperor Augustine did not get angry. Instead, he slowed down his tone and said, "Fania, you are not ready to be the emperor of this country. The empire is now at the most important turning point in its history. Only I can suppress all parties and allow the empire to pass this critical juncture smoothly."
Fania laughed loudly: "Father! You think too highly of yourself and underestimate me.
The Duke of Celtic has clearly told me that as soon as I ascend the throne as the emperor of the empire, he will immediately urge the Brotherhood of the Blade to abide by the covenant of their ancestors and regard me as the common leader of the hereditary nobles.
Tomorrow the whole court will pledge its loyalty to me."
"The entire court? You are too confident!"
Facing Augustine the Great's ridicule, Fania said indifferently: "You mean Agatha and Meteor... I will tell the world that they, together with the queen, have killed you long ago, and I will send them to see you soon.
Farewell, my beloved father, the great late emperor of the empire!"
Fania reached out to order the Assault Bear Warrior to kill Emperor Augustine, but the Crystal Man standing behind Emperor Augustine took the initiative. He inserted the scalpel into the back of Emperor Augustine's head, and then turned it around to cut a circle around his head.
The crystal man's action made Fania stop what she was doing.
He knew that there was an independent space on the ground floor of the palace, managed by a master who had signed an employment contract with ancestor Augustine.
There is a high probability that this crystal man is the master.
But how did he kill his father?
Blood oozed out from the incision made by the scalpel. The crystal man put down the scalpel and lifted up the crown of Emperor Augustine with both hands, revealing the brain inside.
"I am not interested in your family affairs. Your ancestors only let me live here and manage the palace center here." The crystal man released magic, and Augustine's brain floated up under the control of his hands: "I will do what I promised Augustine... Please wait a moment."
A servant took down the Crown of Wisdom from the white jade stand.
The crystal man kicked over the chair, and the body of Emperor Augustine fell to the ground in a mess, with almost no blood flowing out.
At this time, Queen Christina, Luke, Agatha and others rushed in from outside the door. Fania didn't know what the Crystal Man wanted to do, but he definitely didn't really kill Emperor Augustine.
Only when the old emperor dies can he, the new emperor, be accepted by the court and the nobles.
He yelled, "Stop him!"
Three assault bear warriors burst out instantly and rushed towards the crystal man.
Agatha saw Augustine's body and the brain in the crystal man's hand and wanted to attack, but Luke held her back: "Don't be impulsive, we are no match !"
Sure enough, before Luke finished speaking, the afterimages of the three assault bear warriors suddenly froze. An almost invisible transparent crystal column appeared at some point, sealing the three assault bear warriors inside. They maintained their charging posture, but there was no sign of life.
Agatha was shocked.
She was very clear about the strength of the Assault Bear Warriors. She had almost no chance of winning against three Assault Bear Warriors, but she was easily killed by the Crystal Man .
If Meteorite hadn't pulled me back in time, I would have probably suffered the same fate.
But how does Meteorite know the strength of the Crystal Man?
Agatha looked at the falling star.
Luke kept staring at the crystal man.
The super BOSS Crystal Ruler in the underground copy of the Golden Shield Empire Palace - Deep Sleep.
He is an extraordinary crystal creature.
Augustine's ancestors discovered him and gave him the ability to move by carving him into a human form.
Therefore, Shenmian signed an employment contract with the Augustine family to manage the underground part of the palace. Since the base of the palace is the large crystal that gave birth to Shenmian, Shenmian has unparalleled strength here.
Six stars is the overall strength of Shenmian, but in this space Shenmian's strength will be enhanced to six and a half stars.
Even in the Anno game, Luke cannot guarantee that he can successfully complete the dungeon every time.
Fortunately, Shenmian doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, and the Augustine family can't give him orders now. The relationship between the two parties is similar to that between a landlord and a tenant. Helping you is a favor, and not helping you is a duty.
On the other side, Fania didn't expect that the three bear warriors he relied on were killed by the crystal man casually. Now he didn't know what his father wanted to do, and the Queen, Meteor, and Agatha were by his side...
Is this a failure?
Fania was stuck in a dilemma and could only watch the crystal man place the brain of Augustine the Great into the opened Crown of Wisdom.
The Crown of Wisdom was placed back on the white jade stand, and the four angel statues spread their wings together. A holy white light shone down from above, and the phantom of a white-armored and blonde angel descended.
A voice like a huge bell echoed in the hall: "Whitehead Augustine, your heroic life has been witnessed by the Sky City. You are specially allowed to enter the Sky City as a heroic spirit and enjoy the commemoration of the world.
I, Ulysses the Sword of Oath, will be your guide and will arm you with the heroic spirit."
The shadow of the Sword of Oath of A. Ulysses disappeared, and under the illumination of the holy light, the Crown of Wisdom floated up. In addition, the Armor of Light, the Shield of Faith, the Sword of Prayer, and the Boots of Earth flew over from the hands of the angel statue, and were assembled one by one.
Seeing this, Fania finally understood what her father was going to do.
The feeling of failure made him shout crazily, "You, you actually transformed yourself into a heroic creature. Have you forgotten your identity? What qualifications do you have to sit on the throne and rule a human empire?
Do you think the ministers of the court and the nobles of the empire would kneel down and pledge allegiance to a suit of armor?
Agatha, Meteor, Queen, Milscom , do you see this? This is the emperor you are loyal to. Is he still qualified to continue to be the emperor of the empire?
Support me!
I will forgive all your faults and give you more power and a higher status!"
"Silly child, shut up!" Augustine's voice came from his armor. He had transformed into a heroic spirit and stepped forward. His armor made a clanging sound: "How can I, a great man, be defined by your ridiculous point of view? Officials, nobles, and citizens respect my thoughts. My body is just a vehicle for carrying my thoughts..."
Augustine the Great walked to his own body, paused for a moment, and then stepped over: "They will be happy that a wise, intelligent, and courageous emperor has gained eternal life, and there is no need to worry about the future of the empire because of the stupidity of future emperors."
Emperor Augustine walked up to Fania and said proudly to the three bear warriors who were trying to stop him: "The outcome has been decided. It is wisest to lay down your weapons. You are the best warriors in the empire. You should not die here without honor and bring shame to your family.
Let's go, before I decide to kill you!"
Behind Emperor Augustine, three crystal pillars were still standing there, with three assault bear warriors inside looking lifelike, yet making people feel chilly.
The remaining three Assault Bear Warriors looked at each other, then put down their weapons. After saluting Emperor Augustine, Fania left.
When they went out, they saw the elf Qingkong standing outside the door.
Qingkong made a gesture to silence everyone: "You are lucky to be able to leave here alive. Go back and tell the surviving assault bear warriors that the meteorite can protect you from future reckoning."
The Assault Bear Warriors, who were originally nervous about seeing Qingkong, immediately saluted her. This promise of shelter was life-saving to them.
"Thank you, Miss Qingkong! We will rush to Fury City immediately."
Qingkong waved his hand, and the three assault bear warriors looked at the hall fearfully, then quickly left.
After the assault bear warrior left, Qingkong turned and walked into the hall.
Just then, Augustine the Great was seen thrusting his sword into Fania’s chest.
Agatha couldn't bear it, so she turned around and hid behind Luke, and saw Qingkong walking towards her step by step.
"Ms. Clear Sky."
Qingkong's name caught everyone's attention, making her the focus of the entire hall.
Qingkong, wearing a distinctive combat outfit, walked forward step by step, and behind her, a layer of frost spread along with her.
"Deep Sleep, I want to kill a heroic creature here, you shouldn't object!"
