"I want to see Prince Crane!"

Duke Nathaniel had a calm face, looking at the griffon knights in front of him who had arrived "in time".

The Griffin Knights belong to the Royal Griffin Order, and their command is Grand Prince Crane, and just as Nathaniel said this, a voice came from behind.

"I'm right here!"

A young man in golden armor walked over, and this young man who looked to be only in his early thirties was none other than Klein, the eldest son of Augustus XVI.

He was the first crown prince of the empire.

He is also one of the most powerful people in the imperial capital.

After all, Klein had an emperor father.

It's just that at this moment, in the face of his missing father, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince Crane did not show the panic or anger he should have, but looked very calm, as if what happened had nothing to do with him.

Nathaniel saw the scene.

He knew that was probably the worst part.

Nathaniel said in a deep voice, "Has Your Highness Klein even become a member of the Shadow Sect?"

"I didn't enter the film school. ”

Crane shook his head and denied that he had joined the Shadow Cult.

Duke Nathaniel frowned, as Eric, it was indeed unlikely that he would completely join the Shadow Sect.

Because as the first heir to the empire.

His every move is closely monitored.

Every year or even every once in a while, he will undergo very strict regular inspections, and if Eric has abnormal strength, or signs of sealing demon power, he will definitely be discovered as soon as possible, so it is impossible for someone like him to join the Shadow Sect.

Eric continued, "However, I have a new teacher who tells me that you are sabotaging a great plan. ”

The Duke of Nathaniel looked angry: "Great plan? Is making people puppets the so-called great plan?"

Eric said lightly: "Duke Longying, may I ask, what is wrong with letting people like you become puppets for the country?"

Nathaniel froze.

He obviously didn't expect the other party to ask such a question.

Eric said calmly, "Let me tell you, since ancient times, the Holy Alliance and the Arcane Empire have been in civil strife, and the nobles of each region have too much power in their respective territories, so that they can control the life and death of civilians at will. ”

However, this situation will be completely changed in the near future, the empire does not need greedy nobles, and the people do not need self-righteous and glamorous lords. ”

"Aristocrats, politicians, soldiers, too much corruption, too much darkness, too many corpses, too many people are indiscriminate, power will obviously corrupt the most upright bloodlines and families, but not puppets, so I will change everything completely, and the empire and the people will have a group of truly just and selfless officials and lords. ”

"This is a great change, and because this change has touched an aristocratic force like you, you can't wait to stop him, right?"

Nathaniel didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.

It is true that if every nobleman, lord, and official from top to bottom of the empire are replaced with soul puppets, this is indeed a means to eradicate corruption, greed, and darkness forever.

Because soul puppets are not truly self-aware.

Their behavior can be set and modified.

The most special thing is that as long as the setting is completed, the puppet's IQ, EQ and even creativity can still be perfectly expressed.

Other words.

This is a group of machines that are truly 100% intelligent but have no self-positioning and no self-feelings, and if the entire empire were replaced with such machines, the empire would become impregnable, all orders would be extremely accurate, all policies would be implemented perfectly, there would be no struggle for power, and there would be no more conflicts of interest.

Is that really the case?

Duke Nathaniel didn't think so.

First of all, the initiator of this plan is the shadow education.

The power of the Shadow Sect is too dangerous!

Their true purpose and plan are by no means simple, and this reason alone must stop this conspiracy, and secondly, although this soul puppet can achieve complete unification and eliminate corruption, malfeasance, selfishness and cruelty.

But at the end of the day.

Just a bunch of soul programs.

Since it is a program, there may be vulnerabilities.

Since it is a program, it may be hacked and tampered with.

If, one day, someone finds a way to hack into these programs, it will be a no-brainer to destroy the entire empire.

"Your Highness Eric, this is the wrong path, you have fallen!" Duke Nathaniel's anger surged rapidly, and a powerful fighting spirit was constantly surging on his body, "For the sake of this evil conspiracy, you actually attacked your own father!"

Prince Blair sneered: "I respect my father, but I have to say that he has been sitting in this position for too long, his mind has also decayed, and this country needs new vitality!"

"Enough!"

Nathaniel let out a low roar.

In the next second, the robe on his body was crushed into powder, revealing the angular cover and rock-solid muscles.

"That's it!"

As he spoke, Nathaniel's figure disappeared in an instant, Prince Eric was also a knight of the Heavenly Vein Cultivation, but he couldn't see Nathaniel's speed at all.

Almost in an instant.

The dozen or so griffin knights in front of Prince Eric were knocked away, and each body was crushed by the light of the fighting spirit in mid-air, and there was no way to fight back.

The Royal Griffin Knights are one of the knights directly under the royal family, each knight is carefully selected from the army, but when faced with the powerful Duke of the East, he still has no power to fight back.

Nathaniel crushed the outer guards in an instant, and when he rushed towards Prince Eric, ready to subdue him and control the situation.

Prince Eric lightly enchanted the ring of his left thumb.

A small purple-blue barrier stretched out around him.

Nathaniel's fist slammed into the barrier.

That blade of Dou Qi, which was condensed like substance, failed to completely cut through the barrier, but only caused a crack on it.

Prince Eric said, "You are truly the Duke of Dragon Eagle, your physical strength, your movement speed, and your great strength are among the best even among the Imperial Sky Knights. ”

Nathaniel has no nonsense.

He jumped quickly and kicked on it.

There was another thunderous explosion, and a large number of cracks appeared in the barrier.

Prince Eric was still unhurried, and he said slowly: "It's useless, you can't hurt me." ”

Between words.

He continued to rub the ring.

Unleash greater power from the ring.

The originally cracked barrier seemed to have been replenished in some way, and it was quickly repaired, even with the strength of Duke Nathaniel's Immortal Realm, if he wanted to completely break this strange barrier, I am afraid it would not be able to complete it in a short time.

And at this very time.

Because of the huge battle movements.

The nearby royal knights and royal guards were all attracted, and they saw from a distance the scene of Duke Nathaniel frantically attacking Prince Eric.

Everyone's face changed dramatically.

Prince Eric immediately shouted: "Nathaniel, the Duke of the East, plotted to kill his father and the emperor, and also tried to harm me, the royal knights and royal guards, take him down immediately!"

Nathaniel didn't expect to fall into this situation, he knew that it was useless to explain anything now, and since Prince Eric was here, it meant that he had already laid everything out.

No way.

Once hesitating.

Most of the time you'll be trapped.

In the imperial palace, there are not a few masters.

If he is captured alive by this prince, it will be really indefinite and the situation will be terrible, and now he can only find a way to evacuate first, and then find a solution!

Read this.

Nathaniel is not attacking.

He turned his head directly and went to the outside of the imperial palace to kill.

Prince Eric shouted, "Nathaniel is trying to abscond in fear of crime, take down this damned traitor for me at once!"

Nathaniel was aggrieved.

He was a dignified Duke of the Eastern Realm, and because of his carelessness, he actually put himself in such a situation, but it can also be seen from this incident that the Shadow Sect forces have obviously infiltrated into the palace.

Especially the Griffin Knights.

But most people are still in the dark!
