The airship marked with the family crest of the Nickland family stopped outside the door. Both Fa'an and Orr put on formal clothes, and the old butler in a black tuxedo followed behind them and let them off the airship's hatch.

Fa'an returned home from the General's Mansion and stayed at home for three days, and today is the day when the eldest prince is officially conferred.The crown prince's canonization ceremony will be broadcast live on the optical network, and nobles and imperial officials with as many main stars will go to the palace to participate in the canonization ceremony.

The old butler drove the spaceship and set off with them.Fa'an tied his waist-length hair into a high ponytail with a ribbon. He was wearing a solid black suit with fine lines outlined in silver thread, and a silk tie with a bright ruby ​​collar. folder.A thick emerald ring was worn on the thumb, and the tall and slender waist was perfectly set off by the corseted suit jacket.

Orr was wearing the same suit as him, but in a more low-key gray and dark check pattern, with a burgundy solid tie.He is tall and has long legs, his clothes are one size bigger than Fa'an's, and he rarely wears silver accessories on his wrists.

"When the time comes, you will be by my side." Fa'an said to Orr.

Orr doesn't like to attend all kinds of banquets, and Fa'an is a little worried that he will run around during the ceremony.

"I'm eighteen." Orr sneered, "As long as you run towards Andre without seeing him, you'll be lucky."

Fa'an choked on him, and his face turned red a little bit in disbelief.

"Nanbai will go too." He muttered.

Orr paused, his eyebrows moved slightly.

The prince canonized, and the palace is under full martial law.Airships waiting to be verified by soldiers equipped with live ammunition lined up above the imperial city, and more airships came in this direction one after another, and Fa'an's airship was among them.

After passing through layers of security checks, the spaceship was able to enter the palace.After landing, Fa'an and Orr disembarked and walked. The road leading to the inner square where the ceremony was held was lined with carved pillars.The pillars are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the energy stone on the top is not to be outdone in the daylight, overflowing with gorgeous light.

There is a raised platform in the center of the square, on which stands a giant statue of the first emperor of the Federal Empire.The eldest prince will be on the high platform, under the watchful eyes of the founding emperor, and His Majesty Waldo will personally preside over the canonization for him. The officials of the empire below the high platform will bow to their new heir to the throne when the ceremony is completed.

The troops dispatched directly from the military headquarters closely surrounded and guarded the square. As soon as Faan and the others stepped into the square, there were guides to guide them. Not all the people who came to the ceremony had arrived yet. Officials and nobles gathered in twos and threes to chat.

The location of Nicklan's house is quite close to the high platform in the center. The two brothers walked to their place upright and straight without looking sideways, and stood there. The next moment, they began to shift their gazes and shoot at the entire square.

After a while, Fa'an looked away in disappointment.Wherever Andre poked it, it was very conspicuous, and it was obvious that he hadn't come yet.According to common sense, the other party is probably following Rex now, guarding the protagonist of this canonization.

But Ouer next to him was different. From the corner of his eyes, Fa'an noticed that he was slightly startled, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a bright smile on his brother's face, and said very gently.

"I'll go over there."

Fa'an's eyes followed his back, and unexpectedly saw Nan Bai in formal attire at the end.

Nan Bai seemed to have noticed Ouer as well, and looked sideways here frequently.

Fa'an looked away vicissitudes of life, not knowing why he had to be hurt like this on this happy day.

He stood there alone, accompanied only by an old housekeeper. After a while, he felt bored and wanted to go out to see when Victor's family would come.The Xivir brothers and sisters didn't know whether they would be the last to attend like the eldest prince. Fa'an asked the old housekeeper to stay where he was, and walked out of the square by himself.

The army in charge of security was very nervous about everyone trying to enter the square, even if the other party had passed the first security check when entering the palace, they didn't pay that much attention to the palace people who were rushing or busy outside the square.

Fa'an, whose identity had already been confirmed, successfully stood at the gate of the square. He looked at the crowds that had gathered one after another, but he didn't see Lilian and the others. He was calculating the time and hesitating whether to wait here, when he saw Xiao Lan was watching him outside the square.

Xiao Lan and Fa An met their gazes, and suddenly raised their hands to beckon him.

Fa'an was stunned for a moment, without hesitation, he walked out of the square naturally and came in front of Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan in front of him was wearing a military uniform. Reminiscent of him being with Rex before, Fa'an thought it was Andre who gave him some new mission.The two of them were not close or far from the square, and the crowd walking around separated them from the sight of the army.

Xiao Lan took Fa'an a few steps, and the two circled behind the deserted pillar.

"What's the matter, Xiao Lan?" There was no one around, Fa'an put down the airs around him, and smiled slightly, "Did Andre ask you to tell me something?"

Xiao Lan didn't speak, but just watched him silently.

The tall pillars shielded them from the rare warm sun in winter and cast a long shadow.They were standing in the shadows, and Fa'an saw that Xiao Lan's bright eyes seemed to be eroded by the shadows, becoming darker and deeper inch by inch.

An inexplicable ominous feeling surged in Fa'an's heart, and he subconsciously raised his legs to leave, but Xiao Lan spoke at this moment.

At that time, the gongs and drums in the square suddenly sounded, and the fireworks rose and bloomed in the daytime, and the light scattered was like flowers blooming in the clouds.On the eve of the ceremony, the suggestive music was like waves, rumbling loudly.Fa'an stared at Xiao Lan's lips opening and closing, but couldn't make out what the other party said.

The next moment, Xiao Lan raised her hand, held a small bottle and sprayed it on Fa'an.

The mist-like liquid dispersed, and Fa'an held his breath for the first time but still inhaled a little air.His consciousness began to blur, and finally fell into Xiao Lan's arms.When trying to open his eyes, he only saw the other party with his head down, and the shadows smoothed out the expression on the upper half of his face, painting everything into obscurity.

The lively music changed from heavy to light. At the end of the drumbeat, His Majesty Waldo led, followed by Rex, and the most honorable group of the empire entered the square.

Deputy Andre followed them, and soldiers around the square saluted with guns.The encirclement circle of the army opened and closed, all the people participating in the ceremony in the square had arrived, and there was no one on the road leading to the square.

His Majesty Waldo took Rex to the high platform, the music stopped, and the ceremonial officer stepped forward to read the canonization process aloud to everyone, boasting the emperor's prestige and praising the eldest prince's talent.

In the square, the military headquarters, the House of Representatives, and the aristocratic families are clearly separated, and each station is in a long line.There are a total of eight generals in the empire, some guarding the border, and some old men retired with meritorious service. Among the main stars, there is only one general, Andre, who undoubtedly stands at the forefront of the military headquarters.

The admiral glanced at the place where Orr was without a trace, paused for a moment, and frowned slightly.Orr was also staring at Andre, showing a distinct expression of surprise after not seeing Fa'an's shadow beside him.

Andre looked away, his heart sank suddenly.

"—Our most honorable majesty will crown his prince. From today onwards, His Royal Highness, who is bestowed with this honor, will become the empress of the empire..."

On the high platform, Rex lowered his head slightly, and stood calmly and respectfully in front of his father.His Majesty Waldo is holding a fancy dress—that is the orthodox dress exclusive to the prince, and Rex has already put on the underwear and accessories, only the last long coat in the hands of the emperor—is about to go. It should be put on for Rex after the etiquette.However, before the etiquette officer could finish his sentence, there was a sudden roar outside the square!

Following the aftermath of the explosion, there was a sound similar to metal collisions in the dust.They rushed towards the square densely, and at a glance, there were as many small cannibal insects as a tide!

In the dust from the explosion, spaceships dropped hatches one after another, and after releasing the worms inside, they blew themselves up under the pre-set program. The explosions were fierce and clean, not even a single hatch was left behind. .

Countless Zergs rushed in at an extremely fast speed, and the nobles and councilors who were not from the military department in the square all had their legs weak.The panicked shouting and involuntary running and shoving caused the infield to become chaotic, and the canonization could no longer be carried out. The people from the military department immediately surrounded the high platform to protect the royal family from evacuating. There were already intensive gunshots outside the square.

The soldiers deployed to guard the smooth progress of the canonization ceremony are equipped with powered exoskeleton devices, so there is no need to worry about small insects.Andre stood under the high platform, and behind him was His Majesty Waldo who was retreating in the opposite direction, but a certain nerve in his brain jumped heavily.

He quickly looked around the scene, and his eyes were fixed on a huge monster standing on the side of the square amidst the gunpowder smoke and explosion dust.Andre's pupils suddenly constricted, and he almost roared when he turned on the communication device——

"Everyone is on alert! Urgently notify the reserve ship! The target is five meters below the right side of the inner field of the palace, loading the transport ship! Fire to put it..."

Hit it down.

Before the admiral's order was finished, the door of the heavy transport ship that was supposed to contain the supplies needed for the preparation ceremony opened wide with a dull sound, and a pair of pitch-black tentacles protruded first from inside. After a few seconds, they curled up The giant worm in the transport ship stretched out completely outside the square.It has a pair of bony and misshapen wings, which can cover the sun when they are open, and the black and foul-smelling mouthparts are constantly dripping, almost like rain.

Several reserve ships equipped with projectiles in the palace immediately started to take off, but the next moment the giant worm flapped its wings, and it crashed straight into the square and approached the high platform!

The military terminal on Andre's wrist suddenly flashed a dazzling red light, and the powered exoskeleton mech completely covered his body from the right arm.The dark and rich blue reflected a monstrous luster in the sunlight, and the admiral aimed at the ugly head of the giant insect without hesitation and opened fire, spitting out a dragon-like flame from the muzzle.

This small gun does not cause fatal damage to the giant worm, but it hinders its progress.The Zerg immediately became furious, its wings were fully opened, and its sickle-like forelimbs waved downwards, making the wind howl!Many aristocrats who were avoiding them were cut in half in an instant, and the square was suddenly stained red with blood!

Andre moved quickly to avoid it, but the tip of the Zerg's forelimb still drew a long scratch on the exoskeleton mecha.Rex, who had finished retreating, suddenly paused, but within a few seconds, he suddenly turned around and ran towards this side.

The soldiers guarding him paid attention to the threat behind them, but for a while, Rex had rushed into the panic-stricken crowd and grabbed the wrist of his future princess.Sivir's panicked eyes suddenly burst into bright light when they met him, but they changed from surprise to anxiety in an instant.He pushed Rex's back and asked him to return to the encirclement of the army quickly. Rex was about to pull him along, when the wind suddenly rang above his head!

Sivir opened his eyes a little bit, opened his mouth, and pushed his palm towards him forcefully.But Rex suddenly increased his strength, tightened his arms to hold Sivir tightly in his arms, and rolled on the ground!

The ground where they were standing was cracked, and the tentacles of the Zerg whipped into the ground!The tentacles rise and fall again!Rex couldn't dodge it any longer, he could only press his whole body on Sivir's body and bear the thunder blow with his back!

The sound of bone breaking sounded, and Sivir let out a desperate and frightened belated cry from the throat under the reserve ship that rushed to open the muzzle and fired at a high speed——

"Rex!!"
