Chapter 54: Confrontation
"Let him stop." There was no trace of emotion in Baldwin's voice, and several shots were aimed at Preskars behind him, and if he dared to move, he would be shot by them. Although it was not Baldwin's expectation, it was clear that the man had prepared for it.
I saw another mecha knight appear, slowly approaching Constance Dante, although their body was far inferior to [Enqidu], but the weapon in their hand was already aimed at Constance Dante, and Constance Dante had nothing to use after being destroyed by artillery fire at this time, and he was facing the elite Praetorian Guard of the kingdom.
Even the ultimate body has no advantage in the case of bare hands, and more importantly, the Herod knight that Cons Dante wants to protect is bound to die without a place to be buried.
"Why, I need your reason, we are in a partnership now, so I have no need to obey you." Preskars spoke eloquently, unconcerned about aiming his lethal weapon.
"He didn't kill these Herodians, and I need an explanation as well." Baldwin said.
"But even so, Baldwin, you don't have to be so aggressive!" A familiar voice came from behind him, and Cons, Dante, and Preskas reacted at the same time.
The young man in the silver mask walked in, but the heavily armed guards behind him made him imposing with every step. It was this that completely shattered Baldwin's original plan.
"Arthur-kun, it's you." Baldwin slowly walked over to the young man and whispered a sigh of emotion, and the face under the mask was Arthur Doria's.
"I didn't expect you to come back."
"I didn't expect you to do such a thing, it's very different from your style!" Under the mask, Arthur chuckled softly.
And the other black-clothed people on the high platform couldn't help but hold their breath, although they worked together, but the young man in front of them actually didn't know anything about it. Although Baldwin withdrew his troops after the arrival of the other side, they still did not dare to guarantee the stability of the situation.
"Now, in this situation, do you think I'm going to stand idly by?" Baldwin's voice rose sharply, but Arthur didn't back down from his piercing gaze.
"I don't quite understand what this has to do with my knights." Preskars asked. "Even if he didn't want to kill the Herod knights, there weren't many people like us lunatics who wanted to get the blood of their own countrymen on it. And that child was Herod, so what's the problem? β
"Herod, such a rare chosen knight, reminds me of the former knight king, the most dazzling but fleeting figure of the imperial period, Justiin Komnen." When Baldwin casually said the name, the hearts of Constance, Dante, Preskas, and everyone present suddenly shuddered. The Knight King, the title of the former Megatron West, has gradually faded in the past ten years, but this does not mean that his brilliance has dimmed. Is the King of Knights, who was once rumored to have fallen, really sitting in this mecha at this time?!
Everyone stopped speculating again, and although not many people knew about the knight king, even the name of Justin was known for the first time, this did not prevent them from fearing the knight king. Whether in the West or in the East, the Knight King once brought nightmarish fears.
"This joke is too much, we all know that ten years ago, at the Battle of Fort Hadrian, the Knight King was wiped out with the last glory of the Empire." Arthur pretended to be calm and said, "As a knight, as a guardian of the virtues of knights, His Majesty the Emperor, would you really think that the knight king would abandon his country and survive?" β
"Maybe, maybe not, but that doesn't mean I don't doubt him. Are you willing to put your hopes in someone who may be the remnants of the Empire? Although the Holy See is our common enemy, I am afraid that the hatred between the Empire and us is irresolvable in comparison. Unless he kills these Herodians, he must die! β
The envoys of the other forces exchanged glances with each other for a short time, and although Constance Dante's ability was very strong, it was not important to them, and Baldwin obviously could not be offended at this time. After seeing the new weapons displayed by the other party, everyone had a small calculation to win over the new Brad Kingdom.
It seems that the other party is going to watch from the wall. Constance Dante secretly clenched the mech's joystick, and Baldwin's Kingdom Knight also kept an eye on [Enqidu].
"What if I'm going to protect him?" Once again, eyes were on the young man, and they felt Baldwin's jealousy of him.
"Looks like you've known for a long time." Baldwin said hesitantly, waving his hand and thinking of his subordinates, "Stand down!" Seeing that their monarch had given the order, the Praetorian Guard had no choice but to retreat in hatred, and the thunderous blow of Constance Dante had caused them heavy casualties.
"Stand down! Take all the Herod with them. Baldwin ordered, and the Praetorian Guard was about to rush forward to take the Herod knights from the wreckage, but once again Dante stood in front of them.
"Since these people are of no use to Your Majesty, then you might as well leave it to me! There is a shortage of materials to test on. Preskars said with a slight smile.
"Don't get an inch, Professor Preskas." Baldwin's voice was still steady and emotionless, but it felt tyrannical.
"I've never been greedy, so I don't have to do anything. And I'm afraid this proving ground will need your money to renovate it. Priskaspi said with a smile that he had always held grudges, so he had to make the other person bleed heavily.
"Ahem, I also want you to give us an explanation about what happened today, Your Majesty." And the black-robed people on the high platform who were threatened by the kingdom's force just now are also not good, they are not only allies of the New Brad Kingdom, but in the West, their power is also very important.
"As I have already said, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. What you want is something that only your master is qualified to trade with me, and you don't deserve it. Baldwin smiled coldly, and in his eyes the people were nothing more than clowns.
Baldwin looked down at the crimson giant below, and the giant looked up at him. Although it was only a guess, Baldwin could already roughly guess the identity of the other party.
The man's cold voice rang out in Conseidante's ears again.
"One last time, they die, orβyou die!"
