Chapter Seventy-Eight: The End (I)
"Twelve planes have been destroyed! Request a retreat! ”
"No—!!"
In the headphones, the sound of despair lingered for a long time, and in just a few minutes, the Inquisitor was easily destroyed.
"The enemy has broken through the first encirclement, and the [Inquisitor] is completely destroyed!"
"[KLIBANOPHORO] HAS ALREADY EXCHANGED FIRE WITH THE SECOND ECHELON, AND THE AMMUNITION IS OUT OF STOCK. Both sides are fighting in close combat, asking for reinforcements! There was a panicked cry for help from the headphones, and it was clear that they couldn't hold it out for long.
"Continue to be on standby, not backwards." But Álvaro's answer was only those eight words.
The Crusaders were already a little desperate, was the black ghost really something they could defeat?
The military order could not be disobeyed, and the knights could only rush hard, even if they knew that it was a dead end, they had to move forward, and those who retreated died. The Saint-type mech charged at Constance Dante, the black body seemed to be engulfed by the white wave, and the soldiers in charge of the auxiliary attack also aimed their cannons at the [KLIBANOPHORO].
AT THE SAME TIME, CONS DANTE DANCES IN THE WHEEL OF KLIBANOPHORO, TURNING INTO A BLACK HURRICANE THAT SWEEPS AWAY ALL OBSTACLES.
The once incomparably powerful Saints have become so vulnerable at this moment.
However, the true elite of the Crusaders remained unmoved, and like hunters watching the trapped beasts, the elite of the Holy See lurking in the ruins waited, waiting for their prey to weaken.
And the former king of knights is fighting tirelessly, and every moment, the killing continues.
The massive armor-piercing sword slashed the earth apart, and the fragments of the machinery mixed with blood. Like a wild beast, Consdante showed no mercy, and even the fragile soldiers were crushed like worms.
However, Álvaro's face remained calm, as the commander of the Holy See's advance army, he knew the contrast in strength.
"Lord Alvaro, what about that silver mech?" Suddenly, his subordinates' reports made him frown.
I saw that Anthony drove his own body to break through according to Constance Dante's previous orders, and it was the opposite direction of the current battle.
"Leave him alone, everyone continues to be on standby, don't disrupt the formation!" Álvaro gave the order, now to eliminate the Knight King above all else.
"The Knight King? It's just that ・・・・・・ how long can you last now! Suddenly, a sneer appeared on Álvaro's face, with Constance Dante's deadly combat method, no amount of fuel can barely support it for long, and without the mecha, the Knight King will be nothing!
In fact, Álvaro's idea was not wrong at all, after all, this was a mecha from ten years ago, and it had not much fuel left. But Consité Dante was now fighting without restraint, like a dying man squandering his already small life.
But even so, the prestige of the Knight King is terrifying.
The only thing that sustained these crusaders was fear.
・・・・・・
"What is he ・・・・・・ them doing?" Ann Lost's eyes widened as she stared at the killing in front of her and lost her voice.
Beside him, the soldiers who had just come over tried hard to persuade him, "Your Highness, please leave with us quickly, it's too dangerous here!" ”
"No, why did the crusaders attack him, that man just saved the city." For the first time, Ann Roester broke free in such a gaffe, and no one dared to stop her.
"Your Highness, please be calm." At this moment, a majestic voice sounded behind her, causing Ann Lost's body to stiffen suddenly.
"Uncle Godric."
"Your Excellency!" Everyone was terrified, they didn't expect that high-ranking and powerful man to appear here! Someone once said that Baldwin was able to sit on the throne in addition to the support of the nobles, and the help of this palace minister was indispensable. In a way, Godric himself is a man who can govern the country, and there have been people who have tried to win him over, but they have all been rejected by this man.
In the whole of Constantinople, I am afraid that he is the only one who can stand firmly behind the emperor's back!
"Your Highness, you better go back with me. No one can stop it here. Godric said.
"But he saved the country, and everyone saw ・・・・・・"
"But no one will be grateful."
"Why ・・・・・・"
"Even if the Crusaders sit back and watch the monsters destroy the city, people will not resent the Holy See, and even if that person saves everyone, people will not be grateful. This is the nature of those fools. If anyone could see all this, there would be no papal rule. Wake up, Your Highness. The Holy See has ruled the world for hundreds of years, and people have long forgotten what good and evil are, and only the similarities and differences are measured in their hearts. Godric said calmly. Are heresies, which are hostile to the Holy See, really evil? It's just that it's different and it's an eyesore. ”
・・・・・・
"The second line of defense has collapsed, all the knights have lost their combat effectiveness, and the soldiers are fleeing."
"The third echelon is exchanging fire with the enemy, asking for reinforcements. The casualties are already close to 50%! ”
"Hmph, so fast, it seems that I still underestimated the Knight King." Álvaro sneered, the advance force of the Crusaders had been destroyed by nearly a third, even if the Papal Guard still had strength, but such losses were enough to make the Holy See feel painful.
"Your Excellency, can we go to war?" Álvaro's subordinate asked.
"Wait, when our prey is tired, it's time for us to set out. Be patient! ”
・・・・・・
"If he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on, Your Highness!" Looking down at the fierce battle below, the old man said, "Do you want to help him?" ”
But the blonde boy just smiled evilly, shook his head, and said, "Since he wants to rewrite the script I gave him so much, how can I not give him this chance?" ”
"It's just, Your Highness, aren't you afraid that you will lose him completely?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
UNDER A FIERCE BATTLE, [KLIBANOPHORO]'S BODY IS ALREADY SCARRED, AND IT IS TRUE THAT KANGSHI DANTE IS CLOSE TO HIS LIMIT. Even the Knight King is just a human being, and he is not invincible after all.
"Tsk, it doesn't look like it will last long." Looking at the fuel gauge, Constance Dante smiled wryly, the previous negligence caused one of the other horsemen to accidentally destroy the armor of the power core, and due to the damage, the life of [KLIBANOPHORO] has gone to the countdown.
"But that's enough." However, Constance Dante's eyes were still full of fighting intent, and the dragon tooth sword in his hand was once again raised above his head.
