Chapter 99 The Emperor (2)

The situation changed drastically in an instant, and in the splendid cathedral, the bright red sword in the Queen's hand became the most dazzling light.

... Her Majesty the Queen, who has fought for many years, has a secret that is not a secret.

The strength of her crystal bone is not high, and she barely reached the A level. In the eyes of ordinary people, it can be called excellent, but in the military department where there are many talents like stars, it is not considered a top crystal bone.

But she has a knife.

This knife is not a new crystal weapon made from real crystal ore in the universal concept.

At that time, the emperor led the army to expel the lava pirate group and killed the then leader of the pirate group "Red Fish" under the laser spear. The leader of the Black Shark Base used a special technique to take out the crystal particles in the corpse of the red fish—which is equivalent to the crystal bone—to make this long knife and present it to the emperor.

The name of the knife is called "Slaughter Thief".

Using human crystal bones to make weapons is against morality and is a more serious contraband in the Empire than real crystal ore.

Only this "Slaughter Thief" in the hands of the Empress is the only legal crystal bone weapon in existence.

The faint sunlight pierced through the clouds and turned into bundles of bright filaments, leaking from the holes in the roof of the glorious cathedral, illuminating the icy tip of the knife into a blazing fire.

Lin Ge held a knife in his right hand, and his thick black hair was draped behind his shoulders. She pursed her red lips and said lazily behind her, "Retire if you don't fight."

In fact, she didn't need to say it, Jiang Jianming reacted quickly, dragged Zheng Yue and ran outside the church - he knew what the virtue of His Majesty the Emperor was, and it was not something that a crippled human being like him could mix with a madman and a cult.

But they only took two steps, and a few crystal bones of different colors suddenly brought the wind and hit the two of them.

From the prayer room to the church gate, several dozen meters away, the clerics of the Crystal Cult blocked the way like ghosts.

Jiang Jianming squinted his eyes and fired several shots in a row, and the next second was pulled by Zheng Yue, and the two rolled into the blind spot behind the pillar together.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Golden Sun Wheel outside the church rushed in with their machine guns.

The melee started, and monks and nuns kept shattering crystal bones and piercing their bodies. Blood splattered on their white robes, and they fell crookedly like off-line puppets.

But more clergymen in the back rushed forward like they were stunned, and even did not hesitate to fight with their lives for their lives. The Golden Sun Wheel and the Crystal Sect were in a stalemate for a while outside the door of the prayer room.

"Damn," a brown-haired soldier scolded with a gun, "Aren't these people afraid of death!?"

The next second, the partner behind him screamed and fell, and a crystal bone of the goddess in white shattered the young man's skull.

"Xiu!!" The brown-haired soldier's eyes were red, "You bastards, I will kill you!!"

The soldiers roared and rushed up, and soon there was a series of bombardments, and the blood mist filled the air.

In this bloody fog with blocked vision, one by one shadows flew in from the door outside the church!

Taking a closer look, it is not a living thing, but a group of intelligent robots with small wings on their backs and a shell wrapped in iron.

The shape of this group of intelligent robots is very familiar. Behind the pillar, the gasping Zheng Yue suddenly widened his eyes: "Little Your Excellency! Could these be—"

Jiang Jianming was also panting with a pale face, and his voice was hoarse: "...Yes, the group of robots in the White Jade Palace. The Black Shark Base is being controlled remotely."

Zheng Yue: "Black Shark Base!? When is the base..."

In a few words, the intelligent robots have rushed into the battlefield, and with the mechanical sound of ticking, some of them began to shoot lasers at the monks and nuns of the Crystal Cult, raising more intense blood.

The other part rushed to the real crystal ore rolling down on the floor of the prayer room, hooked it up with mechanical claws, and threw it into the storage space in his stomach.

Jiang Jianming: "Don't ask, let's go now!"

The crystal bones, machines and firearms were still fighting, and Zheng Yue reluctantly released the half-dead crystal bones to cover Jiang Jianming's embarrassed roll out of the church door from the hail of bullets.

Just the next second they staggered out, the ground shook violently!

In the screams, the stained glass on all sides of the prayer room shattered at the same time, falling from the sky with a flash of light.

Each piece of glass reflects the two figures fighting - Lin Ge's long knife collided with Margaret's crystal bone again!

"Little girl," Lin Ge raised his red lips, "It seems that you Crystal Cultists have done a lot of bad things secretly over the years. Don't you want to talk to me about why?"

Bishop Margaret did not speak, and smashed another crystal bone with her hand.

Lin Ge let out a low roar, and the slaughtering thief slashed head-on on the crystal bone, and when the blade rotated, it brought a splash of gold stars. Pieces of the marble floor were blown away by the explosion, and the flames and rubble drowned out the figures.

Jiang Jianming was supported by two Jin Ilun soldiers to step back. He was soaked with sweat, panting messily and looking back.

Beside him, Lieutenant General Luther, who was in command of the overall situation, shouted bitterly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

"Lieutenant General, stop shouting." Jiang Jianming's voice was hoarse, "Have the masses been evacuated?"

Lieutenant General Luther: "The three main streets leading to the church have been emptied, and the Jin Ilun is blocking the intersection."

"Okay, hurry up." Jiang Jianming raised his head, his eyes looked at the sky lit up a little.

The wind smashed the clouds like a giant palm, and the rising sun poured over the sky and covered the buildings in the star city, illuminating the dead branches and snow, and pulling pale shadows behind the people who were running and fleeing.

The night is over, it is dawn.

In the corner of the prayer room where the battle was fierce, a young male bishop with gray temples ended his communication with his accomplices on the opposite side.

Bang, bang! Several nearby robots were smashed by his crystal bones, sparks beating between the exposed circuits.

Bishop Su bent down and picked up a real crystal ore with a cold expression.

The crystal bone covered his palm, and Su slowly closed his eyes, as if he was muttering something.

The real crystal ore changed rapidly in his hand, Su Zhenji threw the real crystal ore, and the sunlight reflected a dazzling white light on it.

Lin Ge, who was fighting with Margaret, caught this scene with sharp eyes. Her pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately pulled back and shouted loudly, "All the golden sun wheels are there, withdraw from the church!"

At the moment when this colorless crystal block reaches the top of the parabola, the crystal particles inside are like wild horses rushing out!

When the dense stream of crystal particles rose into the sky, the mutation occurred.

The first thing to change was the brown-haired soldier who fought with red eyes because of the tragic death of his comrade.

A second before this real crystal ore fell in front of him, he was still holding a fire-breathing machine gun, releasing crystal bones behind him, as brave as a tiger going down the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the brown-haired soldier let out a shrill scream, and the machine gun dropped to the ground.

As if the cruelest torture in the world had come upon him, the young man's body twitched like a malfunctioning machine, then fell to the ground, kicking up dust on the church floor.

It was as if the internal organs in his body were stabbed to pieces by thousands of knives in an instant, and he began to cry and twitch frantically, kicking his legs and feet on the floor. He whimpered and whimpered, slapped his chest with his hands, scratched his neck—as if trying to get rid of even more horrific pain. Soon, the soldier's eyes lost focus, and a large stream of blood and foam spurted out of his mouth. Along with the foul smell, filth flowed from under his twitching body, and blood was gurgling at the same time.

"Crystal chaos..."

Outside the church, someone shouted the first sound.

His voice trembled with fear, "—It's crystal chaos, acute crystal chaos!!"

"Retreat, retreat!!" Lieutenant General Luther shouted, "Protect His Majesty the Emperor to withdraw from the church, hurry!!"

In the Brilliant Cathedral, the same tragic situation happened to more soldiers of the Golden Sun Wheel.

The human body seemed to have turned into a wooden stick that would fall down with a push, banging on the ground. The frequency of the crystal particle disturbance in the air became more and more chaotic, swallowing the soldiers one by one like a huge vortex.

"Destruction, that should be my job."

Margaret gasped slightly from the fierce battle with the emperor, but her expression was still innocent and ignorant, and her light gray eyes stared at Su unhappily.

She said earnestly: "His Excellency the Archbishop said that death will do it."

"The plan has failed." Su's face was very ugly, and more intelligent robots rushed up to attack him. These things were not affected by crystal chaos.

He said gloomily, "Clear these people in front of you, and then evacuate here temporarily."

Crystal Chaos was paralyzed on the floor. The brown-haired soldier at first was about to die. His left eye moved up uncontrollably, but the other eye was bleeding.

crackle... crackle.

With an eerie thin sound, a colorless crystal cluster grew out of his right eye socket, covering most of his face like a net of insects in the blink of an eye.

His skin was bloody cracked, and strangely shaped colorless crystal clusters grew out. Flesh and hard crystals were indistinguishable from each other, and they were no longer human.

The soldier scrambled forward on the floor to the door of the church. The morning sun was shining and mercilessly falling on his bloody and tearful face, and he silently repeated three words in his mouth: kill, le, me—

The faces of the Jin Ilun generals guarding outside the church were all pale.

This is……

Submerged in history, the scene of the old hell.

In this day and age, there is almost no chance of seeing such a large-scale outbreak of acute crystal disorder.

But in the early days of the old empire, when tranquilizers were not developed, once the crystal turmoil broke out, there would be corpses everywhere and thousands of people weeping... Today's scene is just a corner of the picture scroll of the tragic scene.

Jiang Jianming gritted his teeth abruptly, knowing that the soldiers could not be saved. There was a trace of pity in his eyes, and he suddenly drew out the silver-gray pistol again.

A hand held his muzzle and took the gun down.

The female emperor did not know when to stand beside Jiang Jianming. Lin Ge's brows and eyes were cold, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom!

Gunshots sounded.

The bullet penetrated the soldier's temple perfectly, giving him the happiest relief at the moment.

Lin Ge continued to shoot. Her hands were steady and her shooting technique was accurate. She even had time to glance at Jiang Jianming: "It's you again, Mingming, why are you still standing here?"

"……His Majesty."

Jiang Jianming had not been called "Mingming" for several years, and Jiang Jianming was dazed for a moment on such a critical battlefield.

Lin Ge sneered, and there seemed to be sparkles in the depths of those raised eyes: "Our empire is really a waste, when the crystal chaos broke out, a crippled human was actually at the forefront."

She flicked the smoking muzzle, and put the Venus Wing on Jiang Jianming's shoulder, "Hey, I ask you, where is your little monster?"

The front was forced to retreat, and Jiang Jianming was also pushed back by Lin Ge.

He pursed his lips, and his sweat-soaked hair was covered with dark eyes, "...Your Majesty, please forgive me for answering the question with a question. Did you and the leader and the old marshal anticipated that such a thing would happen? "

The roar of Lieutenant General Luther, the messy footsteps of Jin Ilun's soldiers, the sound of guns bombing... those noises are far away.

Jiang Jianming said to the emperor in a low voice, "At this point, you asked Garcia to return to the country because you wanted to take advantage of the current situation to force him to take Ryan's seat, right?"

"Whether it is the future of the empire, the safety of Aslan Star City, or the lives of the ignorant people who have been incited...including the soldiers of the Golden Sun Wheel who are now suffering from crystal chaos, they are all chips in the balance."

Lin Ge looked at Jiang Jianming with interest for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"You really protect him."

"Even if you know in your heart, it is true that only his power can break the current situation," she sighed in a low voice, "...is his joy more important than the lives of thousands of people, eh?"

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyelashes and stroked the military emblem of the Golden Sun Wheel with his hand: "I don't know, Your Majesty... Maybe I did something wrong."

"Even though I believe he is him on a soul level, Garcia and Ryan are different after all. There are some things I don't want to involve him too much, I want to do it for him... But I'm just a disabled human being There are too many places to miss.”

Whether it's starting to show up at aristocratic banquets to gain prestige, or joining the army of Kim Il-lun to gain prestige.

From the ordinary undisciplined civilian cadet, he took the initiative to step into the center of power step by step.

On the one hand, it is to explore the riddles left by Ryan; on the other hand, it is also to hope that Garcia can be extracted from the undercurrent of the empire he is tired of as much as possible.

It would be great if... if he could "secret" Garcia in his bedroom forever and feed him some apples every day and comb for a lifetime.

But he also knew it was impossible.

When Garcia told him not to go to the battlefield, when Garcia was angry for his hard work, when Garcia let him hug but said "use me".

Lin Ge stared deeply at the black-haired officer with crystal residue in front of her. She pulled up his arm and put the Venus Wing into his palm: "You're right."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes to the high clouds: "You will know later, when you stand with him, you will never be wrong."

"Because of you."

"They complement each other and love each other," she said.

The next second, the clouds above the city were swept away by the air waves, and the sky was completely bright.

rumbling...

A steel starship, like a giant dragon sticking its head out of the sea of ​​clouds, lowered its body and landed quickly, approaching the city's buildings.

"Starship!?"

"Look at the sign, it's the starship of the Black Shark Base!"

"Wait, that mecha is..."

"I am a bad emperor." Lin Ge said firmly.

"She's a ruthless, cunning woman who is full of black water and will do anything to achieve her goals."

A silver-black mecha drove out from inside the starship, which was faster than the starship.

It is Comet Zhan, the M-Comet Zhan, which is already known for its speed, is running at full speed at this moment, passing over the heads of the fleeing people!

"The chips you said were not forcing him, but forcing you."

She held Jiang Jianming's wrist tightly, "You are his bargaining chip. Since you are here, he will come to you willingly."

The cockpit of the M-Chop Comet suddenly opened.

Under the dazzling sunlight, a slender figure stood in front of the mecha's wings. In the backlight, his face could not be seen clearly, only the high beams of platinum curly hair danced wildly in the wind. Countless people raised their heads... Pedestrians who were chaotically fleeing in the streets and alleys stopped and stared, hid in the house and watched the residents outside the window widen their eyes.

They seemed to be vaguely aware of something in their hearts, but they couldn't believe it because it was too bizarre and absurd, so they could only watch and watch like this.

"None of you can keep the other party in captivity, and you can't leave the other party behind. You can only cut through thorns and walk forward side by side with blood flowing."

Lin Ge said softly, "This is destined for two souls to meet."

On Comet Slash's mecha, a dazzling red gold suddenly lit up.

Just like the fallen Golden Crow rises up again, the phoenix in mythology sings in nirvana.

In the strong wind in the deep winter, the long crystal bones quickly stretched, and the length soon surpassed that of the mecha, and it could be seen clearly even from a few urban areas.

A girl by the window unknowingly made a prayer gesture of clasping her fingers together, opening her mouth madly, letting her tears flow.

Maybe the world is forgetful, but there are always some characters who will deeply engrave their shadows in the minds of the world, waiting for a recovery.

"temple……"

"Your Highness..."

"—His Royal Highness Ryan!!!"

The sound waves rang out at this moment, one wave higher than the other. The call of thousands of people shook the earth, and countless people rushed out of their homes regardless of the danger, raising their hands and shouting wildly.

"Is it really His Royal Highness!?"

"His Royal Highness Le'an is not dead, His Highness is back!!"

The video of the red gold and crystal bones bathing in the rising sun instantly went viral on Zhiwang, suppressing all the indignant remarks from a few hours ago. The entire empire is boiling.

"It turns out... It turns out that His Majesty said," someone shouted while choking, "It's like this winter to establish a new prince!"

"Yes, yes, it must be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not die back then, and he has only been able to reappear in front of people since he recovered from his injuries..."

On the street in front of the Brilliant Cathedral, Jiang Jianming stood side by side with the emperor. He quietly looked up at the sky, and his ears were also surrounded by the frantic shouts of the surrounding soldiers of the Golden Sun Wheel.

"...Is that so, does Your Majesty think it is doomed?"

The huge crystal bone in the sun was too dazzling, the black-haired young man narrowed his sour eyes and said with a wry smile, "I made my choice, and it seems that he is the same."

Perhaps the emperor was right, he thought. Maybe some things are destined to be avoided.

For example, the waves of the current situation, such as the giant palm of fate, or an encounter in the dark, or a love without turning back.

"Since this is his will."

Jiang Jianming put the Venus Wing back in the holster, picked up his white gloves and put them on again.

He said lightly: "Then I'll go and give him the armor, I haven't touched Comet Zhan in a long time."
