The situation changed drastically in an instant. In the messy and glorious cathedral, the bright red long knife in the queen's hand became the most eye-catching light.

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

Her crystal bone strength is actually not high, barely reaching A level.In the eyes of ordinary people, it can be called excellent, but in the military department where geniuses are as numerous as stars, it is not considered a top-notch crystal bone.

But she has a knife.

This knife is not a new crystal weapon made of real crystal ore as raw material in the universal concept.

Back then, the emperor led his army to expel the lava Space Pirates, and killed the then Space Pirates leader "Red Fish" under the laser spear.The leader of the Black Shark Base used special techniques to take out the crystal particles in the red fish's corpse - which is equivalent to the crystal bone - and made this long knife to present to the emperor.

The name of the knife is "Slaughter Thief".

It is immoral to use human crystal bone to make weapons, and it is a more serious contraband than true crystal mine in the empire.

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

The faint sunlight pierced through the clouds, turned into bundles of bright filaments, and leaked down from the hole in the roof of the Splendid Cathedral, turning the sharp knife tip into a burning fire.

Lin Song was holding a knife in his right hand, and his thick black hair was hanging fiercely behind his shoulders.She pursed her red lips, and lazily said behind her: "Back down if you don't fight."

In fact, she didn't need to say, Jiang Jianming reacted quickly, dragged Zheng Yue and ran out of the church - he knew what kind of virtue this emperor is, and a lunatic fighting with a cult is not something that a cripple like him can get involved with.

But they only took two steps, and several crystal bones of different colors suddenly picked up a sharp wind, hitting the two of them head-on.

At a distance of tens of meters from the prayer room to the church gate, the clergy of the Crystal Cult blocked the way like ghosts.

Jiang Jianming squinted his eyes and fired a few shots, and was dragged by Zheng Yue in the next second, and the two of them rolled into a dead corner behind the pillar together.

At the same time, Jinrilun soldiers outside the church rushed in with their machine guns in their hands, and the bullets of the new crystal weapon fired continuously, spouting dazzling sparks crazily.

The scuffle started, and monks and nuns were smashed to pieces and pierced through their bodies.Blood splattered on the white robes, and they fell crookedly like unthreaded puppets.

But more priests behind rushed forward as if in a daze, even at the expense of fighting with their lives.Jinrilun and Crystal Cult were in a stalemate outside the door of the prayer room for a while.

"Damn it," a brown-haired soldier cursed while holding a gun, "Aren't these people afraid of death!?"

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

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

The soldiers roared and rushed forward, and soon there was another series of bombings, and the blood mist filled the air.

In the blood mist that blocked the sight, shadows flew in from the gate outside the church one by one!

Taking a closer look, it was not a living thing, but a group of intelligent robots with small wings on their backs and iron shells.

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

Jiang Jianming was panting with difficulty with the same pale face, and said in a hoarse voice: "...Yes, the group of robots in Bai Emerald Palace. The Black Shark Base is remotely controlled."

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

In a few words, the intelligent robots had rushed into the battlefield, and with the ticking mechanical sound, 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 falling true crystal ore on the floor of the prayer room, picked it up with mechanical claws, and threw it into the storage space in his stomach.

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

Crystal bones, machines, and guns were still clashing. Zheng Yue reluctantly released the half-damaged crystal bones to cover Jiang Jianming's embarrassing roll out of the church gate from the hail of bullets.

The second they staggered out, the ground shook violently!

Amidst the screams, the stained glass on all sides of the prayer room shattered at the same time, and the shining light fell from the sky.

Every piece of glass reflected two figures at war—Lin Song's long knife collided with Margaret's crystal bone again!

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

Bishop Margaret didn't speak, and threw down another crystal bone with his hand.

Lin Song let out a low growl, and the Slaughter Rogue slashed head-on on the crystal bone, splashing gold stars when the blade rotated.One piece after another of the marble floor was blown away by the explosion, and the flames and gravel drowned the figures.

Jiang Jianming was supported back by two Jinrilun soldiers. He was drenched in sweat, and panting messily, he looked back.

Beside him, the old Lieutenant General Luther who commanded the overall situation shouted with grief: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

"Lieutenant General, stop shouting." Jiang Jianming said hoarsely, "Have the crowd evacuated?"

Lieutenant General Luther: "The three main streets leading to the church have been cleared of people, and Jinrilun is blocking the street entrance."

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

The strong wind smashed the clouds like a giant palm, and the rising sun poured over the buildings in Star City, illuminating the dead branches and snow, and drawing pale shadows behind the fleeing people.

The night is over and the day is dawning.

In the corner of the praying room where the battle was fierce, the young male bishop with gray temples ended the communication with the accomplices opposite.

Bang, bang, bang!Several robots that were close at hand were smashed by his crystal bones, and sparks danced among the exposed circuits.

Bishop Su bent down and picked up a piece of true crystal with a cold expression.

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

The true crystal ore changed rapidly in his hands. Su Zhenji threw up the true crystal ore, and the sunlight refracted dazzling white light on it.

Lin Song, who was fighting with Margaret, caught this scene sharply. Her pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately pulled back and shouted loudly: "All the golden sun wheels are there, get out of the church!"

At the moment when this colorless crystal block reached the apex of the parabola, the internal crystal particles rushed out like a wild horse!

When the dense flow of crystal particles soared into the sky, a change occurred.

The first one to mutate was the brown-haired soldier fighting with red eyes due to the tragic death of his comrades.

One second before this real crystal mine fell in front of him, he was still holding a flame-breathing machine gun and releasing crystal bones behind his back, as brave as a tiger descending a mountain.

However, immediately after, the brown-haired soldier let out a shrill scream, and the machine gun dropped to the ground.

As if the worst torture in the world had befallen him, the young man's body twitched a few times like a malfunctioning machine, and then fell flat, kicking up dust on the church floor.

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

"Crystal Chaos..."

Outside the church, don't know who yelled the first sound.

The voice trembled with fear, "——it's crystal chaos, acute crystal chaos!!"

"Retreat, retreat!!" Lieutenant General Luther yelled, "Cover His Majesty the Emperor and withdraw from the church, hurry up!!"

In the Brilliant Cathedral, the same tragedy happened to more Jin Rilun soldiers.

The human body seemed to be a wooden stick that could fall down when pushed, hitting the ground with a bang.The frequency of the crystal particle disturbance in the air became more and more chaotic, like a huge vortex swallowing up the soldiers one by one.

"Destruction, that should be done by me."

Margaret gasped slightly due to 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 seriously: "His Excellency the Archbishop said that death will do it."

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

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

There were crystal disorderers paralyzed on the floor. The brown-haired soldier at first was almost dead, his left eye moved up uncontrollably, but the other eye was already bleeding profusely.

Crackling... crackling.

Accompanied by a creepy sound, a colorless crystal cluster grew out of his right eye socket, covering most of his face like a bug net in the blink of an eye.

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

The soldier crawled forward on the floor until he reached the door of the church.The morning sun was shining and ruthlessly fell on his bloody and tearful face, and he silently repeated three words: kill, kill, I——

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

This is……

Submerged in history, the scene of hell in the past.

In this era, it is almost impossible to witness such a large-scale outbreak of acute crystal chaos.

But in the early days of the old empire before the tranquilizers were developed, once the crystal chaos broke out, there would be corpses all over the field and thousands of people crying... The current scene is just a corner of the picture scroll of the tragic scene back then.

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

One hand pressed the muzzle of his gun and took the gun down.

The empress stood beside Jiang Jianming at some point.Lin Song's eyebrows were cold, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom!

Gunshots rang out.

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

Lin Song continued to shoot, her hand was steady and her shooting technique was very accurate, she even managed to glance at Jiang Jianming: "It's you again, Mingming, why are you still standing here?"

"……His Majesty."

Having not been called "Mingming" for a few years, Jiang Jianming was stunned for a moment in such a critical battlefield.

Lin Song sneered, and there seemed to be sparkles in the depths of those upturned eyes: "My empire is really a waste. When the crystal chaos broke out, a crippled human being was actually required to be at the forefront."

She flicked the smoking muzzle, and put the wings of Venus on Jiang Jianming's shoulders, "Hey, I'm asking you, where's your little monster?"

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

He pursed his lips, with a pair of deep black eyes under his sweaty messy hair, "...Your Majesty, please forgive me for answering the question with a question. Did you and the leader and the old marshal foresee this kind of thing in advance?"

The roar of Lieutenant General Luther, the chaotic footsteps of Jin Rilun soldiers, the sound of gun bombing... those noises are far away.

Jiang Jianming whispered to the emperor: "At this juncture, you let Garcia return to the country because you want to use the current situation to force him to take Lai An's seat, right?"

"Whether it's the future of the empire, the safety of Aslan Star City, or the lives of the instigated ignorant people...including the Jinrilun soldiers who are now suffering from crystal chaos and dying, they are all chips in the balance."

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

"You really protected him."

"Even if you know in your heart 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, huh?"

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyelashes and stroked Jin Rilun's military emblem with his hand: "I don't know, Your Majesty... Maybe I did something wrong."

"Even though I believe he is him on the soul level, Garcia and Lai An are different after all. Some things, I don't want him to be involved too much, I want to do it for him... But I'm just a disabled person, I can't do anything I can.There are too many places to miss."

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

From the ordinary undisciplined civilian military student at the beginning, he took the initiative to walk into the center of power step by step.

On the one hand, it is to explore the mystery left by Lai An; on the other hand, it also hopes to extract Garcia as much as possible from the undercurrent of the empire that he is tired of.

If... If he could "hide" Garcia in his bedroom forever, feed some apples every day and groom him for the rest of his life, that would be great.

But he also knew it was impossible.

When Garcia told him not to go to the battlefield, when Garcia got angry at his troubles, when Garcia let him hug but said "use me".

Lin Song stared deeply at the black-haired remnant crystal officer in front of her. She took his arm and put the Wings of Venus into his palm: "You are right."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and cast his eyes on the high and wide clouds: "You will know in the future, when you stand with him, you will never be wrong."

"Because of you."

She said, "They are compatible and complementary, and they love each other."

In the next second, the clouds above the urban area were swept away by the air waves, and the sky was completely bright.

rumbling...

A steel starship, like a giant dragon protruding its head out of the sea of clouds and mist, 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 Song said firmly.

"She is a ruthless, cunning woman who will do anything to achieve her goals."

A silver-black mech sailed out from inside the starship, it was faster than the starship.

It was Comet Zhan, already famous for its speed, Comet Zhan was driving at full speed at this moment, passing over the heads of the fleeing people!

"The bargaining chips you mentioned are not forcing him, but forcing you."

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

The cockpit hatch of M-Zhan Comet suddenly opened.

Under the dazzling sunlight, a slender figure stood in front of the mech's wings.The face could not be seen clearly in the backlight, only the tall strands of platinum curly hair danced wildly in the wind.Countless people raised their heads... Pedestrians who were running chaotically in the streets and alleys stopped and stared, and the residents who hid in their houses and looked out the windows widened 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 dully.

"Neither of you can keep the other party in captivity, nor can you leave the other party behind. You can only overcome thorns and thorns, each bleeding side by side and move forward."

Lin Song said softly, "This is the fate of two souls meeting."

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

Just like the fallen golden crow rising again, the mythical phoenix cries out of nirvana.

In the deep winter wind, the slender crystal bones stretched rapidly, and the length soon surpassed the mecha, and it could be clearly seen even from several urban areas.

A girl by the window unknowingly made a prayer gesture of clasping fingers, opened her mouth stupidly, and let tears flow down.

Perhaps the world is forgetful, but some characters will always engrave their shadows in the minds of the world, waiting for a recovery.

"temple……"

"Your Highness..."

"—His Royal Highness Lai An!!!"

The sound waves shook the sky at this moment, and the waves were higher than the waves.The calls 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 the Crown Prince!?"

"His Highness Lai An is not dead, His Highness is back!!"

The video of the red gold crystal bone bathing in the morning sun instantly went viral on the Internet, suppressing all the indignant remarks made a few hours ago.The whole empire is seething.

"It turns out...it's what His Majesty said," someone choked up and shouted, "It's the fact that a new crown prince will be established this winter!"

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

At the entrance of the street in front of the Brilliant Cathedral, Jiang Jianming stood side by side with the emperor. He looked up at the sky quietly, and his ears were surrounded by the sound of Jinrilun soldiers shouting frantically.

"...Really, does His Majesty think it is destined?"

The huge crystal bone under the sun was too glaring, 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.Perhaps there are some things that are destined to be unavoidable.

Such as the waves of the current situation, such as the giant palm of fate, or a meeting in the dark, or love without hesitation.

"Since this is his wish."

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

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