Chapter 16: The Battle of Kings (3)
"How's it going?" The huge furnace inside the massive underground munitions factory spews red magma, and even steel will melt into molten iron. Despite the heat, Berchis looked down at the mechanic forging the mechanical parts, sending pieces of military products into the assembly line.
The three mechs stood quietly on the steel support, the red and white mechs were in tatters and had experienced fierce battles, while the dark blue [Hannibal] mecha was still intact.
"The center of the Resistance has been completely destroyed, and that man still has the [Knights of the Holy Armor] in his hands, what else can we do to stop them?" Nikita looked at the man in front of him and asked in a deep voice, how could such a decrepit Herod resist the butcher.
"Of course it is our king, and only the king is qualified to face another king, and he will take the fate of New Rome with him to the fate of the West." Berthes whispered, the blazing light of the fire illuminating his face.
"Constance Dante is really His Highness Justine... The King of Knights? Nikita still couldn't believe in his heart at this moment that the thin young man who had been with him for several years was actually the former His Royal Highness, the knight king Justin who was as famous as the kings of the West.
"Can't believe it, huh?" Berthes turned to look at the big man in front of him and said, "At that time, you were still fighting in Armenia under General Merides, and even most of the nobles didn't know the true identity of the Knight King, just a half-grown child. ”
"But isn't he a sinner?" Nikita asked with a complicated face, the death of Constantine was said to be the death of Constantine that year, His Royal Highness personally destroyed the knights who followed his empire, and later the Senate declared him treason.
"Do you really believe in the decaying aristocracy of Nicaea?" Berthes asked mockingly, "All future generations can only make themselves not as ridiculous as clowns by discrediting the martyrs, and how can the real king care about the dust of his past and future lives." ”
"This is also the sorrow and loneliness of the king!"

In the elegant room, the girl is bored with her hair. Suddenly, the door slowly opened.
The originally dull and silent pupils suddenly flashed with a hint of agility.
The boy is so gentle, like... Mom the same.
"Sophia. I am back. ConsitéDante's eyes were full of tenderness. And the girl had thrown herself into her arms.
"Brother Constance, Dante." The girl trembled slightly in the boy's arms, and everything was so warm. Behind the brother and sister who hugged each other tightly, Vivien watched them quietly, but there was indescribable pain in her cold eyes.
"Are you okay?" Constance Dante looked at his somewhat emaciated sister and asked, the tips of his fingers running over the slightly dry and yellow hair, and the young man's heart couldn't help but feel a sharp pain.
Sophia shook her head, but she couldn't hide her joy, "Sophia is very good, Brother Constance Dante. Looking at the happy smile on Sophia's face, but Constance Dante felt a little guilty, thinking of Sophia's hesitation and helplessness when she woke up from a serious illness and saw her brother not around, Constance Dante felt an indescribable distress.

"Have you heard, there is not a single one left of the Divine Hidden Guard who was killed by the butcher!" At this time, the resistance army, whose morale was low, also had no intention of stationing in the underground pass, and sat on the ground and whispered.
These soldiers, who remained in the rear and did not participate in the battle, were originally improvised mercenaries, with no discipline at all, and they were even more unscrupulous without Herod moderation at this time.
"I've heard that the Rastin mechs are two or three times larger than the Herodians." One of the Rus' mercenaries gestured matter-of-factly, "You think that the slap didn't turn the Herodian knight into a meatloaf!" ”
"Look at what you said, it's obviously a discus." As soon as the people next to him teased, everyone burst out laughing.
"The Herod is a rabbit's tail that can't grow, and it seems that he will run away in the next two days. It's fucking unlucky, this ticket isn't enough for the journey, damn Herod. A Bolgar mercenary patted his ass and stood up, pulling out the cigarette in his arms and walking to the wall.
"Fuck, none of you even have an oil lamp lit." Looking at the icy clear oil in the huge torch, the Bulgar muttered.
The oil lamp on the pass is actually a huge torch, which can be used as a searchlight by burning grease to raise a huge flame and using a huge reflective mirror. In ancient times, on the sea, lighthouses used this method to guide ships on the sea. Due to the lack of resources of the resistance forces underground, this ancient method was also used on the passes.
"Hey, isn't this a lighthouse, what are you doing? You're going to be addicted to smoking, use this! The companion behind him handed over a kerosene lamp.
"Bad luck, the Herod are really not authentic, even a lamp is this kind of thing." The Bolgars scolded again, took the kerosene lamp, lifted the shade, lit the cigarette, and took a hard puff of the inferior cigarette.
Looking around at the fingers that could not be seen, the Bolgar man only took a few puffs before extinguishing the cigarette butt, and he sensed that something was wrong. Something seemed to be peering into the darkness, and it was uncomfortable.
But he did not dare to look into the dark void, and it is said that when you look at the abyss, the abyss is watching you.
But the uneasiness is growing.
"What's wrong with you?" Looking at his companion looking at the dark void and stiffening his body, he couldn't help but ask strangely. He picked up another kerosene lamp and walked over, "What are you looking at?" ”
For unknown reasons, the mercenary leaned out and held the lamp high as best he could, trying to see what his companion was seeing.
"Don't move..." The Bolgar's voice trembled, startling his companion beside him. With a shake of his hand, the kerosene lamp fell from his hand, and with a bang, it was not the sound of falling on the sand, but the crisp sound of metal colliding.
"How..." The other mercenaries also felt the uneasy atmosphere dissipate and walked over.
A cold and biting wind blew.
"Hum-" with a whistling roar, the boom was deafening. Two blinding rays of light suddenly lit up, instantly blinding the mercenary and covering his eyes.
But at that moment, the magnificent and terrifying sight was deeply seared into their minds, it was a black steel demon, and his eyes burned with karmic fire from hell.
"O rotten, pathetic empire." Inside the mecha cabin, the elegant nobleman sighed softly, and the black armored giant destroyed it all, razing the ridiculous pass to the ground. Behind the giant, countless golden eyes suddenly opened, like thousands of torches standing in the darkness, illuminating everything.
It was the silver-white knights, they prostrate behind the black emperor and obeyed like courtiers, and without a word, this army of destruction finally came. Chasing the breath of the king, another king finally arrived.
