Chapter 70: Choice
"What's going on!" People screamed and looked in the direction of the explosion.
The shattered city seemed to be letting out a dying roar. They had just arrived in the Roman city of the East, but the Crusaders felt an inexplicable pressure on their hearts.
With a rocky roar, the whole of Constantinople seemed to tremble, just as the Lord judged Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone, and reduced all the rebels to pillars of salt.
In an instant, a huge shockwave and erupting flames engulfed the stunned crowd, and in the extreme heat, the human body was so fragile that it turned into charcoal before it could scream. What a destructive force!
Although it is only a very small area of destruction, the coercion is like the shadow of the end of the world, spreading the plague of fear to every corner.
It was a metallic monster that appeared above people's heads, and it was draped in the world-devouring flames.
"This ・・・・・・ is, Cretan Bull!" The man was so stunned that he couldn't even move his feet, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Looks like it's started! Anthony Jun. Standing on the edge of the Golden Horn and looking at the calm sea, Arthur didn't seem to notice the upheaval in front of him at all, and asked with a smile as he looked at the frightened Anthony.
And the next moment, Arthur's collar was grabbed by the enraged Anthony, pressed down against the wall, and roared and asked:
"Tell me what's going on?"
The monster, Anthony saw it again, and even though it had changed greatly from its appearance on Crete, there could never have been a second of that crazy structure.
Everything was explained, and when he saw the monster again, Anthony understood.
He had always wondered why the family would suddenly call him a traitor, it turned out to be because of it. Looking at Arthur's subtle smile, Anthony almost lost control.
"What do you say?" Arthur still had a subtle expression, "Are you still ready to leave, Anthony-kun?" ”
Looking at the steamboat moored on the seashore, this was his last chance, the crusade was coming, and he would never be able to stay in the city. Anthony couldn't help but hesitate, and unconsciously grabbed Arthur's collar and let go of his hands. Looking at the roaring monster, looking at the steamboat behind him, what could he change in this world where there was no place for him to stand? Originally, he was ready to leave here for the east, but now, a sudden change of events once again turned the hands of the compass of fate.
Destroy it, and perhaps clarify it to the family. A voice seemed to ring in my ears. That's a huge temptation, is he really willing to give up his original identity and spend the rest of his life in mediocrity? Absolutely not!
Anthony's hands trembled inadvertently, maybe this was his last chance to return to the family!
Suddenly, there was a screeching noise, and behind Arthur, on the side of the steamer ship, the floodgates burst open. And the ancient and strict iron demon god in front of him came into view.
"Anthony-kun, this is our parting gift, I hope you like it." Arthur took off his hat and waved goodbye to Anthony. But the smile on his face made Anthony shudder.
The moment he saw the machinery in the steamboat, Anthony noticed that it had a very similar shape and structure to the [Saint] mecha, and it was obviously modified. I didn't expect Arthur to have such a thing, but the Holy See strictly forbids the leakage of such top-level mechas.
"Since you and I have both served in the Holy See Guard, I think you must be familiar with it!" Arthur watched the beast wreak havoc on everything in front of him, as if he was feeling something.
・・・・・・
The crumbling dome of the church was smashed down by falling rocks, and the terrified crowd fled in all directions, and they had gathered together just a moment ago, and they suddenly trampled and stumbled, and wailed all over the sky.
Apparently even the crusaders who blocked the streets were frightened by the sudden upheaval.
"Enemy attack, all attention!" The soldiers of the crusaders reacted immediately.
It's just that the monster in front of them is not something they can deal with.
"What is this?!" Constance-Dante hid in a corner of the alley, avoiding the rockfall. The whole street was filled with painful weeping and mourning, and the originally bustling Henry district seemed to have been brutally ravaged by something. And the monster above his head made Consit's Dante even more solemn.
This is clearly an unknown machine, but its construction is different from any known mecha. Unlike the humanoid Mecha Knight, it is the image of a beast. The horns that were supposed to be on the devil's head were spewing hot boiling oil, turning the city into a sea of fire.
And its body is equipped with dozens of huge cannons and continuous firing guns, and the fire output range is 360 degrees, and there are no dead angles at all.
In comparison, an ordinary mecha is like an ordinary person fighting a beast in front of this monster. It's unbelievable what kind of monastery this is, and it's destroying the city like a beast.
Even in the days of the New Roman Empire, those madmen did not think to make such a thing.
"Brother・・・・・・" The petite body in her arms seemed to be trembling, and Sophia woke up, but at first glance, she saw her brother Tieqing's face, and whispered softly.
"Don't be afraid, Sophia. We'll get out of here now. Consib's smile was reluctant, but he was still trying to comfort his sister, not wanting the atmosphere of fear around him to affect Sophia's already fragile nerves.
"Where's Sister Ann Lost?" To Consundine's surprise, Sophia's mouth came out of the man's name.
Constance Dante didn't say anything, and a loud explosion was heard, and the cannon fanned out, destroying everything in sight.
The Cretan Bull moved in the direction of the Imperial Seminary.
But Constance Dante did not move, and continued to walk in the opposite direction, apparently the monster's target of destruction was not here, but the heart of the kingdom.
But the hem of his shirt was grabbed by the girl, and Considine Dante saw Sophia's stubborn eyes.
"Sister Ann Lotte is there!" It was the first time in ten years that he had seen Sophia's eyes so clear.
What an irony! Would you still say that if your memory recovered? Constance Dante looked at the girl in his arms with complicated eyes, but still swallowed the words in his stomach.
In a short period of time, Sophia has changed so much.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Constance Dante said silently in his heart, but he did not look back, but continued to think about walking in the opposite direction.
