"Hehehehe Sir Edward, why do you need to shirk it like this? Without them, those heavenly creatures wouldn't come to trouble you? Even if you use such words to deceive that idiot Maman, he won't believe it!"
The words were interrupted, and the devil princess smiled even more cheerfully:
"The main thing the Lord of the Dawn's men want to find seems to be you, an existence that is equivalent to the ancient evil beingand we are just a few things they need to deal with. If we cooperate, it will be beneficial to both of us. Isn¡¯t it the most advantageous?¡±
"I can give up here and walk away. It's not mine anyway. ¡î¡ú But how will those heavenly creatures deal with this place in the future Do you still need me to remind you about such a simple question?"
Gracia¡¯s expression remained unchanged, but she fell into deep silence again.
If you give it to me, there are still some benefits, otherwise the heavenly creatures may come, and then it will be the result of both jade and stone. Of course, it will not cause any harm or benefit to me - so I am just avoiding waste.
There was a smile on the man's face, as if he was conveying such a hateful message.
Strict arrangement, long wait, but in the end this guy stretched out his hand to grab them all, and he could still put on such a "compassionate" posture - it makes people wonder who is the devil here! However, there is no doubt that the more tragic thing is that Gracia found that she had no choice at all¡ª¡ª
Even if the protection of the magic circle in the imperial city is perfect and the resurrection of Iskandar's remnant soul has not attracted attention, this guy can definitely make this matter bigger. until he achieves his goal. What's more, five gods from other worlds just disappeared out of thin air. The Lord of the Morning, whose power in the main material plane has greatly increased, chooses to ignore this That is the real miracle!
Of course, everything is a loss like destruction by celestial beings. It¡¯s not that Gracia can¡¯t bear it¡ª¡ª
In fact, from the moment she asked for everything here, she knew that this was already a dispensable and insignificant plan, and the final result was only related to her evaluation in Asmodeus' heart. If this remaining soul could be allowed to dominate the continent again, then the Lord of Nine Hells would naturally give her more power. It failed. It's just the end of a plan from a thousand years ago.
But in this way, in the heart of the Lord of Nine Hells, Gracia can still only be a 'princess', not a qualified 'lord'.
"soul."
Gracia raised her head, and there seemed to be flames flashing in her eyes.
"Isn't this what you need? And you don't need a lot. There's no need to use such a conspicuous method, right?" Edward chuckled: "Besides what do you think of heavenly creatures? of?"
This is of course the price he paid.
Indeed, all the actions of the devils are just to steal souls, especially now that the battle between Heaven Mountain and Hell has begun directly. For the ambitious Gracia, a high-level devil shaped by a high-quality soul is of course what she needs, but if she can get the fallen celestial creature directly from Lansander
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Recently. Gracia was like the many fallen angels she had seduced from Paradise Mountain - or if she showed some kindness to the guy in front of her, the consequences wouldn't necessarily be so unacceptable?
"You want to control this place?"
"Roughly the same."
The psychic smiled slightly: "Give me the throne here. Oh, no. Just give it to my son."
¡¡
Standria City.
If we start with the architecture, this city chosen as the temporary royal capital by the new empire actually has a history of more than 700 years. It has a clear and complete set of architectural models that can almost be called an imperial city. Traces of development - from a small circular inner city to a city with three levels of inner and outer layers and reinforced barriers, as well as constantly expanding and widening cross avenues with regular intervals. For an empire founded on knights, the cross-shaped road in the center of the city leading directly to the four gates was a rule. The most basic significance of the large and small squares set up in each stage was not to provide for citizen activities, but as a place for knights to gather. They can speed down the unobstructed streets, and when the city gate opens, the enemy will face an army of knights charging at full strength.
But now that the city has changed its owner, this rule has disappeared.
In front of the Central Castle, the 500-foot-square Private Square is now as smooth as a mirror, with the sculptures in the center and the surrounding flowers and trees gone.Wu Cun, a huge space array was carved on a smooth blue stone slab. Half a foot deep into the ground, a six-inch-wide trench constructs the umbra of the magic circle that is five hundred feet deep, but at the same depth. The three-inch-wide texture depicts the five-pointed array, and the grooves are filled with softly lustrous mithril alloy. Thousands of runes of different shapes are arranged in the corners and centers of every inch of the five-pointed structure. A complicated, mysterious and daunting giant formation was created. Around the square, on each of the five points of the five-pointed star, stood a star-holding mage. A stream of lightning-like fire extended from their feet and swept across the entire array. It brings about layers of ripples in space that are enough to frighten ordinary people.
The flow of light creates a human image in the center of the array.
Damon Long Blackhawk calmed down, carefully stepped on the shining magic symbols, walked quickly to one of the nodes, and raised his hand slightly to indicate where the execution mage was. In the next moment, the young man of the kingdom The Duke had once again passed through a beam of light and faced the gate of the central hall of the castle.
Looking at the two male lions in shallow relief on the luxurious door, the young Duke stretched out his hand to smooth his front and straighten his collar. In fact, he really wanted to find someone to help him examine his appearance. However, the four knights of the guard standing on both sides of the entrance hall were obviously not the appropriate subjects for questioning.
It would be nice if you could bring one or two guards
The young Duke sighed, although with his current status, it would not be against etiquette to bring a whole team of knights to the throne.
But the problem is. His Majesty did not like this.
Not just the soldiers and servants around the nobles. Even his own attendants and guards were similarly reduced to an astonishing degree, except for a few of his closest courtiers. It's as if he doesn't like seeing any unfamiliar extra faces around him.
"Are your own hands and feet just decorations? Are you too old to move? Or are there too many manpower around you to waste at will? If that's the case, I am really short of soldiers here, so I'll borrow them from you! "
Regarding the first fierce battle in the empire's summer offensive campaign, before the fortress city of Mahabali, the young king asked all the nobles and generals at the war meeting No one answered at that time, and all the nobles regarded it as a kind of It was a simple admonishment But in the next moment, the more than 500 servants and guards of the attending officials were all dragged into the army and used for the first time to attack the city. Both the elite soldiers and the waiters who were good at flattering were all transformed. For the severed limbs and meat under the fortress. From then on, no one dared to bring anyone irrelevant to the king.
"Duke Daemon Long Blackhawk asks for an audience." After confirming his attire, the young Duke exhaled and spoke softly.
"The Duke has an audience"
Stepping into the two open doors and walking onto the soft and wide red carpet inside, the young Duke walked forward slowly. Although the hall was wide, it was not very deep after all, but he could not advance more than ten feet, and the young Duke, who was in peak physical and mental condition, felt his breathing becoming more and more rapid. It was as if there was a force that penetrated deep into his bones, giving him a great sense of oppression This oppression became heavier as he moved forward. When the shadow of the throne fell into sight, the Duke had already half leaned down. He almost turned over and fell to his knees.
He had to stop, take a deep breath, and use his strength to support his slightly trembling body.
Kneel down on your left knee. Then bend down deeply and put your head on your knees. After being still for three breaths, he raised his head. Stand up, bow your head and stand quietly.
Just like he doesn't like the ostentation of large numbers of people, the young emperor also hates these cumbersome etiquette, useless clich¨¦s, and superfluous titles Even in such formal occasions, the courtesy between the duke and the king It has also been simplified to a simple way of kneeling on the ground, and it is said that in many cases just lowering the head to indicate is enough.
¡°My majesty does not need to be expressed by wasting time. Even if the things I mean are more fancy than dancing, they are of no use. ¡¯
This is the emperor's will But at this moment, Dai Meng knew that the awe in his heart was real and profound.
The heavy pressure seemed to disappear, leaving only the wide and empty space of the main hall without a sound. Then the Duke raised his head and looked straight, only the throne was visible in his field of vision.
Although there is nothing in the eyes that reminds people of the ¡®throne¡¯
¡ª¡ªIf you want to describe it, maybeit's a mountain.
A mountain composed of swords, spears, hammers, giant axes, and countless weapons.
"The celebration ceremony is omitted, and we will wait until we capture all the cities in this new empire. As for nowuse the collected swords to create a new throne for me."
This is StandriaAfter the city was broken, His Majesty the King gave his first order to his subjects.
A throne made of smelting the opponent's weapons There is actually nothing strange about it. Although it has been rare in the past thousand years, many monarchs have done this in the chaotic history of the continent. The Throne of Swords, the Throne of Armor Thrones, thrones of spears and things made of horse armor and even human bones, there are all kinds of them.
¡ª¡ªAnd it has to be said that Tuminis¡¯ victory this time was so brilliant. Defeating a famous city and destroying a powerful enemy was equivalent to the destruction of a kingdom This kind of celebration method can be regarded as a sign of diligence and frugality.
However, before the words of flattery and praise could be spoken, everyone was stunned by the king's next words
"It's a bit boring to cast it. Just use the simplest welding. It's exciting to see how high it can be stacked."
As the temporary capital of the new empire, Standria City has 8,000 permanent elites, but among them there are more than 3,000 Jinjinhua Imperial Guards. These are the most powerful military forces in the empire. Although they have been weakened due to conquests, rebellions and divisions in recent years, The quality has declined, but the quality of the weapons has not diminished at all Knight swords, all-metal knight spears, war hammers, and giant axes. They have enough weapons to arm three times the number of people. And the weapons in the city's arsenal are piling up like mountains
And now, these are all here. Right in front of the Duke
Countless swords are piled up, and countless sword blades are woven. Countless sharp edges were erected, sword blades, sword blades, sword tips, sword tips, gun blades, gun blades Heavy metal, countless blades, stood up to become a huge, heavy, dark and twisted creation.
A towering, ugly and asymmetricalmonster.
It is more like a porcupine with all its fur raised No, it is a pine tree with no branches, only leaves. The nearly twenty-foot-high back structure that almost touches the top of the hall extends out Countless fangs. Under it, the bladeless two-handed sword and the giant sword were inlaid into twenty-three metal steps. At the top of this unstable staircase, there were two cold, overlooking gazes
"The city has been cleared, and no remnant has escaped1,336 members of the royal family and staff nobles were hanged in accordance with His Majesty's order, and 2,739 were put to hard labor. The labor service has been sent to the kingdom. In the northwest, the remaining 13,057 people including the surrendered soldiers have been escorted to the undead camp outside the city, and according to the magic reports coming from various places, five of the six directions are progressing smoothly."
no reply.
The young Duke could only see countless sharp blades flashing with cold light in front of him, and he held his breath slightly. Continue to speak: "Victoril Fortress has not been captured yet."
Victoril is not a famous military stronghold in the empire. Although it is called a fortress, the terrain is not actually dangerous. The city wall is not very strong, but this place has the largest God of War Temple in the entire empire. It is regarded as a holy place by the believers of the God of War. There are prosperous believers, many priests, fierce folk customs, and all the people are soldiers Although there have been several conquests in the history of the empire, it has always been long. In just a hundred years, in just thirty to fifty years, it will be completely out of the control of the emperor. Therefore, for hundreds of years, there have been few feudal lords here, and it is almost in a state of church autonomy. Anyway, the tax revenue of one city and one place is nothing. The emperor of the empire has little influence, and the Temple of the God of War will regularly send a group of elite warriors to the empire, even heroes such as sword masters.
Among the hundreds of sword masters in the history of the empire, one-third were born here, and about half also traveled here to study. Although there has not been another Sword Master here in the past few decades, the proportion of high-level warriors and knights here is at least twenty times the average on the mainland! Someone has said that everyone born in Victoril City, whether male or female, has the blood of a warrior. The only difference between them and soldiers is whether they hold a spear or a giant ax in their hands!
Even though the chariot of the kingdom is invincible, it still has to stop its wheels temporarily in front of this city with one hundred thousand warriors and five thousand priests.
"The God of War doesn't seem to be planning to support me?"
The king's voice came down from the seat, low and cold, as if the sharp blade on the throne was trembling: "There are always people like this Forget it, I allow you to bring the mage group If necessary, you can Use twice the number of people. There is no need for Deville Fortress to exist anymore."
Damon Longzhan could not help but feel terrified.
There is only one meaning in His Majesty¡¯s words.
Massacre the city.
"but¡¡"
Under any extreme circumstances, massacre should not be an option for the occupiers. That may destroy the will of some resisters, but it will undoubtedlyToo much hatred is etched in the opponent's heart, forcing the enemy to resist desperately, which in vain increases the casualties of the soldiers. What's more, the massacre of the city is equivalent to an open enemy of the God of War. Although the God will never easily use his power for human things, but Just certain intentions are enough to add unnecessary variables to the war.
However, their existence is meaningless
¡°Did I not speak clearly enough?¡±
"This no, my lord, your will is our destiny." The young Duke lowered his head, his voice trembling. No longer think about whether the elderly, weak, women and children account for more than half of the 100,000 people.
"I remember that you are not yet married?"
"I" The Duke lowered his head again and opened his mouth. Sweat instantly soaked his forehead!
The king's words were obviously not a simple concern During the sweep of the city, he concealed the identities of two noble ladies and a noble lady, and replaced them from the list that must be hanged. This matter is big or small, It is difficult for women whose three families have been wiped out to stir up any big troubles again, but to go deeper, no one knows what kind of impact these three women will have in the future. If beautiful women are smart enough, they can rely on their bodies to bring The problem will also be related to the survival of a noble family!
"Ijust want to report this to you"
"Forget it, it's just three women. It's nothing at this stage. Moreover, for being able to defeat six cities in a row, your contribution has already exceeded these rewards." The emperor's voice was full of laughter, but the Duke's body was full of laughter. Getting colder and colder: "No I don't have any merit. It all depends on the soldiers' lives. Your Majesty"
Damon Long suddenly felt that his tongue was numb - in panic, he habitually used the tone commonly used by nobles, but this was also something that His Majesty did not like!
"As long as you know,"
The emperor's smile did not diminish: "I'll give you three months. When you're done enjoying it, change it. The empire is big and there are many women. Don't give up the entire forest for a tree." (To be continued, please Search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
