mechanical court

Accompanied by his orders, the huge army formation seemed to be a burning ice-blue sea of ​​fire, extending along the meandering river, and soon spread across the withered yellow plain.

Chapter 19 Demon Hunting War ([-])

After Ivan left the city of Ekhtadun with an army of [-], the unruly people endured until night fell, and quickly became agitated after confirming that he had gone away.Fawangyuan, Sizhengyuan, Precepts and Disciplines Yuan, Conscript and Garrison Yuan, Planning and Inspection Yuan, and Buzhen Yuan jointly issued a series of decrees:

First, through complex operations, the administrative organs tend to be paralyzed, and the intelligence system is completely stagnant.Then they bought the guardians of the palace with a lot of money, and then transferred all the troops loyal to the royal court away from the Neihu District in the name of consolidating the city defense.

After that, the imperial army under their control cooperated with a small number of private soldiers to go straight to the royal court, intending to rescue the queen directly, and then stabilize the chaos in her name.

Garnis, the chief officer of the Garrison Academy, became the main person in charge of this operation because he controlled the most troops.

"Forward, forward, forward! Soldiers, you don't need to worry or fear, because what we are doing is righteous! All of this is to restore order to the empire! Her Majesty is the real master of this country. Don't let that false king act recklessly!" Ganis was wearing armor, yelling rebellious slogans, and personally led the rebel army to the royal court.

Under his command, thousands of elite soldiers with small engineering equipment quickly surrounded the main gate of the royal court like a torrent of black and red.

The private army participating in the rebellion received the same order. Among the more than 2000 private troops, more than 1000 were archers, with heavy continuous shooting crossbows attached to their gauntlets. At this moment, those continuous shooting crossbows surrounded the royal court in the shape of a fan. main entrance.The continuous shooting crossbow began to be wound up, filling the bow box with sharp steel arrows one after another, and they could spit out a barrage of barrage at any time.

The remaining two-thirds of the heavy infantry, who used steel spears as their main weapon, lined up along the front line, using their bodies as a barrier for the archers.

The last part is the most elite "ability users", all of them have the power of mind and are equipped with the highest quality armor and swords.Although there are only a few hundred people, they are the strongest barrier, comparable to elite demon hunters.

thump, thump, thump, thump——!

What the rebels didn't expect was that just after their army arrived at the royal court, the main gate opened slowly as if they had expected it, and the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly sounded deep in the royal court.It was a sound of uniform footsteps, as if it was a repertoire played by the drummers of the band. As the door opened, it gushed out with a taste as hard as iron.

"Launch launch! No matter what is in front of us, I will destroy it!"

The tense rebel general ordered the use of engineering equipment the moment the footsteps came. He didn't know what he was about to destroy, but he was instinctively afraid.The moment the gate of the king's court opened, it seemed that something extremely fierce and powerful breathed out, burning his face like fire.

Snapped--!

Hundreds of burning trajectories focused towards the open gate at the same moment, mixed with the dense cold light of sharp arrows and flying shuttles, and the barrage thrown by the flame trebuchet was like a meteor shower, blasting the gate of the royal court into a blazing ball. arch.

Bang Bang Bang Bang!

The stone bullets and bows and arrows hit the energy shield on the surface of the Confederate Defense Army's armor, splashing dense sparks, but they failed to damage the people inside the light shield at all.

The armored troops led by Bai Xiong and others walked out of the burning gate step by step, slowly but firmly, the energy gun in their hands was already full of energy, making a sharp buzzing sound.The strong heat evaporated water-like smoke, covering their figures like a barrier.

Their equipment is all charging armor that the consortium's armed personnel have never used.Previously, it could not be used due to the existence of similar electromagnetic waves, but now it has been 'enchanted' by Ivan's light energy, and finally set foot on the battlefield for the first time.

That scene was a nightmare for the rebels. The figures walking forward among the catapults and arrows looked like gods or devils, breathing thick gunpowder smoke and burning world-burning fire.

Boom boom boom!

In the next moment, the sun-like glare flashed on the square in front of the royal court, the roar of energy guns was deafening, and clusters of high-temperature mushroom clouds flashed in the camp of the rebels.The absolute technological gap brought absolute crushing. The rebels in the front row, together with the supreme commander Ganis, were wiped out by a round of volleys from the Allied Defense Forces.

"The king has a life, surrender without killing!"

"The king has a life, surrender without killing!"

"The king has a life, surrender without killing!"

After a round of volleys, the defense forces did not kill them all, but sent overwhelming signals to persuade them to surrender through electronic speakers.

The rebel army, which had lost its backbone, turned into a mob in an instant. They wanted to retreat, but they were blocked by the Corona Knights who surrounded them from the rear.

"Surrender! I surrender, don't kill me!"

"Surrender! I surrender too!"

"Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!"

Under the threat of energy guns, the rebels who were attacked from front to back gave up their resistance one after another, handed over their weapons and declared their surrender.

one-one-one-one

Neihu District, Temple of Storms.

Ibdu walked around in the inner hall, and the moon was hidden in the dark clouds again. The sky was cloudy and cloudy tonight, as if it would rain at any time.This kind of weather made people uneasy for no reason, and he secretly prayed that the matter would end smoothly, so that Ganis could rescue the queen and regain control of the royal court.

"...It will be all right. When he left, he not only took half of the Knights of the Corona with him, but also the Holy Order and the Demon Hunters. The defense of the royal court must be very empty. Thousands of soldiers led by Ganis It only takes half an hour for elite soldiers to take it down! As long as Her Majesty is rescued within an hour, even if someone tipped off the news, it would be too late to reach the false king!"

He was about to continue walking, but suddenly stopped.His face quickly became as if he was locked by some kind of beast, and fear gradually spread.

"Who is secretly spying on me!?"

Ibudu suddenly raised his hand, and put it flat on his chest. A simple bronze mirror looked like a swimming fish.It circled around him, then solidified and suspended behind his head.

The soft light from the bronze mirror illuminates a large space in front of it, and penetrates the wall to illuminate the outside world.

The moonlight is like a thin layer of mercury, flowing on the surface of the courtyard outside the Temple of Storms.

It's just that the courtyard that used to be paved with a blanket of lawn has now been completely stained red with blood.Above the courtyard, the mutilated corpses of the guards were suspended in the air by countless iron chains, like insects preyed on by spiders, showing a kind of coldness shrouded in the shadow of death.

The Temple of Storms was previously a sacred place of worship, but now it has been immersed in a gloomy silence.The ground, walls, corridors, doors and windows are all covered by pitch-black chains, like a locked birdcage.

"Who is so bold!?"

Ibdu was furious, and his thoughts turned into flame elements surrounding his body, forming a flaming halo of flames.

However, at the next moment, the bronze mirror behind him flickered, he was slightly startled, then turned around, looking at the faint light on the surface of the bronze mirror.

At first, the light was like the white light of lightning, but in the next instant, the light became brighter, and the light from the mirror illuminated the surroundings completely white - with this bright light, before he had time to be surprised, he Seeing a vague female figure galloping from a distance, it disappeared like a hallucination.

"assassin!?"

Accompanied by the sound of the walls breaking, countless dark chains spread out from the densely packed walls of the inner hall like lightning.Like a spider's silk, with his body as the center, it quickly spun into a huge, dark web of death.

"This power..."

Ibdu stared, opened his hands and stretched out, and the flame halo spread accordingly, forming a layer of flame light to firmly protect the inside.

The iron locks around him immediately flowed, and the blue-purple electric arc passed along the spider web. The entire inner courtyard of the temple was enveloped by the light of this electric arc, making crackling explosion sounds.Ibdu was locked in the center of the pitch-black iron net, like a beetle that was heavily restrained. Although he did not lose immediately, the failure would happen sooner or later.

"No matter what you are, if you appear, prepare to die!" He yelled loudly against the breath of death coming towards him.

call--!

The turbulent airflow mixed with dust, blowing along the riddled walls.

At this moment, Ibdu saw a dark shadow approaching the courtyard of the temple.And the ensuing turbulent power was transmitted from the pitch-black spider web around him like overwhelming mountains and seas.

"This is impossible……"

His voice began to tremble: "This kind of power... is comparable to the queen... How could such a strength appear in the empire... You are an outsider!"

The slim figure in the darkness was getting faster and faster, approaching the inner hall of the temple at a dizzying speed.The closer you get, the more turbulent the suffocating oppressive feeling becomes, as if a huge ocean is rushing towards you.
