Chapter 52: Enqidu (I)
"All departments are ready, and the second trial is about to begin." Above, a cold voice fell indifferently. And the mechanics in white overalls immediately went into action.
Cons, Dante and Preskars raised their heads at the same time, and they could feel the majestic gaze of a king watching them.
And on the high platform, those men in black couldn't help but get out of the way and let the tall man stand in front of them. And suddenly a coercion made Consz Dante feel a very uncomfortable feeling, as if that look could see through people.
It was the spirit of a king, and it was enough to make the world tremble.
And he didn't even wear a mask, but showed his true face - Baldwin, the king of the New Blad Kingdom and the monarch of Rome.
・・・・・・
"I didn't expect you to come here in person, Your Majesty." Priskas said neither humbly nor arrogantly, although they only used each other to use each other's cooperative relationship, Priskas did not despise this man in the slightest. The West has always wanted to make it a puppet, and the string of puppet shows has always been firmly grasped by him.
Even if there are many contradictions in the kingdom, whether it is the Herodian resistance, the Slavs of the north, or the secret constraints of the military department, this man can deal with it calmly.
In comparison, this man was indeed more suitable to be an emperor than his illustrious older brother, Earl Pierce, a monarch who could lead the empire forward.
And this is also the reason why Constance Dante is disgusted, cold-blooded, cruel, and decisive, this man is stained with the breath of too many powerful people. Every time I saw him, it made Constance Dante feel an inexplicable panic.
A philosopher once said that the infinite expansion of power will only bring the bitter fruit of destruction to its occupants. Constance Dante had witnessed the expansion of power pushing an empire to ruin, and this man reminded Cons. Dante of that figure again.
"Yes, I think you can finally fulfill the obligations you promised back then." Baldwin's voice was as cold as steel, and Preskars was just calm.
"That kid is ・・・・・・" Suddenly, the eagle-eyed man turned his gaze to Constance Dante, who had entered the cockpit.
At this time, [Enqidu] was just a skeleton of the body, and the external armor of the body was not assembled, just a skeleton with a false appearance, but even so, Cons Dante could still feel his violence when he sat in it.
The huge engines, metal pipes, and a large number of cables were intertwined like the organs and veins of the giant, and everything seemed to be ready, and the cables connecting the nerves behind Constance Dante pierced into the Dragon's Jade Op in his back.
"I'm just a knight." Priskas seemed to deliberately avoid the cold gaze, and answered Emperor Baldwin's question indifferently.
"Really・・・・・・?" Baldwin's eyes became a little subtle, "I didn't expect you to really find it, I thought there would be no more Knight King after the fall of the Knight King." ”
"After the death of each king, a new king will ascend to the throne, and the throne will not be vacant. Emperor Baldwin. On the high platform, an old man sneered, she was not from the New Brad Kingdom, he might belong to Sicily, Genoa, Crescent and other forces, so he didn't have to have any fear of Baldwin.
"A new king?" Baldwin didn't let out a mocking sneer. But that kind of look made the old man a little unpleasant, "There is always only one king, and the rest are only the heirs of kings." ”
Baldwin's words fell, and the bodies of Cons, Dante and Preskas trembled slightly at the same time.
"Is this the beginning of a new era?" Baldwin looked at the massive mech and muttered.
"Armor begins to assemble!"
"Electronic fire control system unlocked!"
"Fuel injection!"
The huge mechanical arm attached the crimson painted heavy armor to the skeleton of the body, and the cable inserted into the body also injected a powerful electric current, and in an instant, Constance Dante felt a powerful nerve current that seemed to destroy his spirit. But these currents had already been adjusted by Preskas, and Constance Dante's body returned to normal after only a slight spasm, which is the standard nerve voltage. Unlike the previous mechs piloted by Constance Dante in the Findel district, the load on the body is also much smaller. In the cockpit, the electronic screen quickly lit up, and the originally gray vision was instantly broadened. And in the eyes of the people outside, they only saw that the body had become burly, and it was really like a god standing in front of them.
Whether it is the Angel Legion of the Holy See sweeping the West or the once glorious and illustrious Holy Knights of the New Roman Empire, they are already in the glory of the past, and now they see the [Grace Capital] will bring a new era to come.
"Attention all! Attention all! This will be followed by a combat test, so please leave the proving ground immediately. With a cold announcement, the mechanic quickly left the huge proving ground, and the robotic arm placed the mech's standard weapon pack in front of Constance Dante.
"Let's see how strong you really are! Actual combat is far more convincing than data. Emperor Baldwin looked down at the crimson mech, and said flatly, as if this amazing mecha didn't give her much impact.
In front of Constance Dante, several huge mechanical gates suddenly opened, and several black airframes stepped out.
"The bodies of the Knights of the Holy Armor, I didn't think that after they fell to the Grand Duke Tudor, you still have their bodies in your hands." The black-clothed man on the high platform recognized at a glance that this was the standard mecha [Saint] of the Knights of the Holy Armor, and in the previous battle of Findel, although the [Chosen Guard] of Grand Duke Esher of Tudor was completely wiped out, the surviving [Knights of the Holy Armor] completely fell to the military headquarters. Although it is not an extremely powerful mecha, it has also reached the level of the third-generation aircraft in the West, and I didn't expect Baldwin to have the luxury of letting them serve as target aircraft.
Baldwin just stared down coldly and said in a loud voice: "After all, it is just an old thing abandoned by the times, and since [Enqidu] will start a new era, then the pseudo-things that block its progress will eventually fall apart." Then the professor will let me witness whether the power of your knight is worthy to lead us into a new era. ”
"Either kill the knight in front of you, or—die!" Baldwin gave a brutal order to the mechs below!
"Qiang-!!" Several of the planes had their mounted swords drawn, once knights of New Rome, but now prisoners of the ranks. Feeling the horror of the [Enqidu] in front of them, they could only give it a go.
At this time, Constance Dante, who was sitting in the cockpit, also drove [Enqidu] to pull out the heavy armor-piercing sword from the equipment bag.
