Chapter 61: Iron and Blood

The roar of the heavy engine of the "Boom" was like the roar of a beast, and a huge mech was displayed in the huge underground fortress. ¢£,

The bunker has a long history, having been built in the Neo-Roman era to provide for the mechs to be stationed and repaired, and is now the headquarters of the military headquarters. The fortress with the ultimate metallic feel has been operated by the military department for ten years, and even the royal family is afraid of three points.

"Your Highness." Duke Andrews bowed slightly, looking very respectful.

Ether just nodded casually and didn't say anything more to him.

Looking at the [Achilles] with equipment underneath, a smile appeared on Esser's face.

"There are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven airframes, and the [Chosen Guard] has been rebuilt." Duke Andrews stood beside Esher and reported cautiously.

Ether slowly approached the cold steel monster, gently caressing the hard surface, but Duke Andrews behind him looked very afraid. It was as if it were a bunch of living demons. Because he knows what's wrapped in it.

Esser's hand lightly tapped the surface of the mecha with a crisp sound, and the hatch of the mecha suddenly slowly opened, revealing a pale face.

Andrews took a few steps back sharply, the gray pupils of that face like the eyes of death, as if peering at him. This is the true face of the Chosen Guard of Ethher, and privately, they also call this army the Immortal Dead. In such a magnificent war machine hides the bloody blood of sin.

The spirit was destroyed by the nerve bond, but they did not end their sad fate, once again stuffed into the mecha and became puppets, absolutely obeying the command of Esser, this is the terrible thing about this army, they are not afraid of death only because their lives have long since ended.

This face belonged to the head of the Knights of the Holy Armor, Stanret, and that day he still couldn't resist the temptation to become a member of this immortal army.

Every time he saw these knights, Andrews shuddered, as if he were witnessing the armies of hell roaming the earth. The mighty Achilles was not something that ordinary people could control, but Esher had built a terrible army with this cruel method.

"Well done. Andrews. Ether was always lazy, and anyone would have thought he was a gentleman if they had seen him for the first time, but those who had been following him like Andrews knew that there was a terrible soul hidden in this cynical shell, but anyone who was willing to follow this young man felt extremely honored to do so.

"I think this power is enough for us to build a new empire in the East. Together with the support of the Holy See, Constantinople will surely prostrate at the feet of His Highness. Duke Andrews said from the bottom of his heart.

But Ether only shook his head and sneered slightly: "If it was really this easy, my uncle would have been unable to sit on that throne for a long time." He still has hole cards that we don't know, not to mention that the Holy See and them are close to each other, and they are even less trustworthy. Now all the energy is still devoted to the conquest of the East. ”

"But will Your Majesty agree?" Although many in the military were eager to try the expedition to Nicaea, they knew better than anyone the dangers involved, and the Battle of Caesarea of that year, the bitter pain of tens of thousands of bloodshed still lingers on Duke Andrews.

"That man will definitely agree, this is his ambition, he will definitely not be able to suppress that greedy **. It's just that now he doesn't want to be a cat in the fire, and the war against the East is destined to break out. "Ether knew his uncle too well, and perhaps they had something in common, which was why he was so sure.

"It's just that Alfonso's attitude this time surprised me a little." Ether restrained his smile, the coldness in his eyes clearly visible.

"But it's good, at least I can make him disappear forever in the East."

Even a battle-hardened person like Andrews shuddered, once His Highness went crazy, nothing could stop him. No one knows what kind of past Esher had with the Grand Duke of Athens, Alfonso. Although the two of them were strangers every time they saw each other, Ether always unconsciously revealed a cold killing intent.

But at this moment, suddenly! A loud explosion came from above their heads.

"Your Highness, be careful!" The impact of the earth shaking and the mountains shook, falling rocks fell, I didn't expect it to be like this, such a strong bunker almost collapsed, how terrifying the explosion should be! Duke Andrews and the guards protect Esher in the middle in case something happens.

"What the hell is going on!" Duke Andrews looked at his panicked men angrily, there were only a small number of garrisons in the bunker, after all, who could break through here, and the only ones who could fight were these puppet legions. But the bunker was guarded by two armored regiments of the gendarmerie, and was it breached!?

Everyone was a little flustered, but Ether looked at the wall above with a slight distraction, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, the mountain shook again, and unlike the previous explosion, this time the shaking was significantly less powerful.

However, the vibrations came in a row, like heavy blows falling on Andrews's heart, and several standard mechs were ready for battle and stood at the only entrance. But even so, Andrews still felt a sense of oppression, what the hell is this tremor about, is it some kind of weapon?

Even heavy cannons can't do this kind of damage, let alone use such weapons unless it's a chariot or mech, but these two might be ridiculous. Who would dare to so brazenly pilot a mecha to attack the fortress of the military headquarters!?

But the uneasy premonition continued to magnify and become more and more intense in Andrews's heart, who was comforting himself.

The sound of shaking was still coming from all directions, and every corner of the huge bunker was clearly audible, disturbing people's minds. The accumulation of depression disturbed the patience of the bunker guards, and the tense nerves seemed to break at any moment.

Andrews found it harder and harder to hold his breath, and a casual glance found that Ether's expression had also become solemn.

Could it be that even His Highness Ether thinks that things are not good!

Suddenly, Ether's whisper came from his ears.

"Above, it's coming!"

Above・・・・・・ Andrews subconsciously raised his head. Suddenly, his pupils suddenly dilated several times!

"Watch out there!" Duke Andrews completely lost his noble demeanor and roared exhaustively, while he was alerting the seven mechknights guarding the troops.

As soon as the words fell, the sharp huge steel cone finally pierced through the wall and fell like a sword of Damocles!
