Chapter Seventy-Three: Submission and Struggle

"It's deadlocked." A subtle smile appeared on Bashiles' face.

However, the thin old man beside him also let out a hoarse sneer, "With them, it is not enough, even if it is a castrated monster." It's a monster after all, and it can't be something that humans can fight against. ”

The [Broken Sword] pierced deep into the back of the Cretan Bull, and Noel thought it was the control center of the war machine, but in fact, it was not.

The barbs on the back of the Cretan Bull bite the blade firmly, and even if it is indestructible, its blade is no different from that of a normal sword.

Anthony slammed the back of the Cretan Bull with his shield. The monster was writhing desperately at the moment, and the dangerous tail was dragged by Anthony so that the sword of death could not pierce Noel's body.

It really seems to be at an impasse! But suddenly, a strange sound, as if the machine was triggered.

Suddenly, the tail of the Cretan fire bull stretched a lot, and Anthony, who was too strong, fell unsteadily and fell down because of this.

"What!"

Before Noel could react, the monster's tail strangled the mecha's neck like a python. The steel tail continued to shrink and squeeze, the armor collapsed, and the [Hannibal Modification] let out a dying wail.

The backlash brought by the nerve connection made Noel almost faint, and his nerve center was almost collapsed in the previous fight with Esser, and at this time, 200% fit was already his limit.

"Damn it!" Noel had to let go of his grip on [GRAM] and try to break free from the tail of the Cretan Fire Bull.

But that's not a chance!

The Cretan fire bull roared silently, and the tail continued to exert its strength, threatening to crush Noel and the cockpit at any moment.

Anthony was unable to support him, and it would be a nightmare if the dangerous tail sword in his hand was released.

However, Noel obviously can't hold on for long!

Now it is only the vanguard of the Crusaders of the Holy See who can change the situation, but they have no intention of acting.

"What are you doing! Are you blind? The privy envoy roared at Álvaro.

"Don't you see that monster! He's destroying Constantinople!"

No one but this army could stop the monster now, but Álvaro kept smiling in the face of the other party's anger.

"But what does that have to do with us?"

"You ・・・・・・!!!"

Just then, a hissing mar coffee came from outside the door, attracting everyone's attention.

Someone, someone actually rode into the military headquarters.

Just as everyone wanted to go out to see what was going on, a man kicked the door open, and although he was wearing a purple robe that symbolized nobility and power, he behaved like a rude soldier.

The man lit a cigarette and his sharp gaze pierced Álvaro from the corner of his eye.

"Crusaders, Papal Guard?"

The man's voice was full of coldness, and the outline of the face was as if it had been chiseled by a knife and axe, and it was difficult to notice the burly body because it was always on the throne.

He never looked like a king, but he didn't fit the status of a king more than anyone else. The aura on his body was chilling, and even Álvaro, who had always been breezy and calm, couldn't help but change his face.

"Gui'an, Your Majesty." Álvaro restrained the smile on his face, even the Holy See must show true respect to an emperor.

"You guys—when are you going to wait? Even if the city is destroyed, will it not hesitate? Baldwin said coldly. The faces of the two men were so close together that they stood almost face to face. They could almost feel each other's breath, and Baldwin's lone wolf-like eyes seemed to freeze even the air.

"You should know that the Crusaders are not your army, nor are they of the Holy See, they belong to the Western nations. My Majesty! Álvaro was undeterred by those eyes, and the red-haired man and Baldwin looked at each other.

"Tell us your terms, or the Crusaders will not be able to move an inch in the East." Baldwin compromised, even though he was king of the New Brad Kingdom, he could not stand up to the Holy See without enough strength. If you cannot fight the enemy, you will not be qualified to negotiate terms with the enemy, and the lion and the sheep will never be able to reach the negotiating table.

・・・・・・

"Sophia, get some sleep here. I'll be back soon," said Constance, Dante muttered softly as he looked at his sleeping sister.

He had no choice but to use drugs to put Sophia to sleep temporarily.

"If Sophia sees you again, maybe she'll go crazy! OBVIOUSLY DECIDED NEVER TO TOUCH YOU AGAIN, KLIBANOPHOROS. Constance Dante smiled wryly and placed her hand on the cold, hard surface. Suddenly, the dim basement was illuminated by the cold light, and an ancient and solemn head appeared in front of Cons.

"Long time no see, my friend!"

Constance Dante's voice seemed to call for something, and the giant seemed to wake up, and the whole earth trembled.

It is the afterglow of an era that, ten years ago, came to an end with the fall of the new Roman Empire, and now, it will return to the eyes of man once and for all.

The devil is about to return to this world and make the world tremble!

"Damn!" Noel struggled to break free in the mech, but to no avail.

The Cretan Bull was also struggling to throw Hannibal off its back, but Noel didn't give it a chance, and the monster opened its mouth in rage.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and in the direction of the Imperial Seminary, a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose.

It was a cannon, and the incendiary bomb razed the building to the ground!

"How could it be !!"

Noel's pupils dilated suddenly, and it was from the giant jaws of the Cretan Fire Bull, the monster that was like a movable battle fortress.

The sudden change caught Noel and Anthony off guard!

"Damn it!" Anthony suddenly realized that the cannon was also aimed at him. But at this moment, it was too late for him.

"Not good!"

Under the close-range shooting, the silver-white mecha was smashed by a giant hammer in the chest, and the powerful impact instantly caused the entire aircraft to fall to the ground with heavy weight!

Finished! Noel's heart was cold, and the next moment, a cold light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

With a "bang-" sound, the arm of [Hannibal Modification] turned into an arc and fell to the ground.
