Chapter 341: Purgatory
The heavy artillery fire engulfed everything, and everyone watched the scene, not because of the enormous power generated by the monster cannon. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but in the terrifying figure they saw.
It was the shadow of a dragon, but that couldn't be, it was supposed to be in an old poem.
"That's ......" At this moment, those princes could not maintain their previous peace, they knew what it was. But it's incredible, it's simply not possible.
"How so?! Wasn't that ancient mecha mothballed? The angry nobleman's voice trembled with fear, of course they would be afraid, because they had clearly placed the ancient mecha brought by Consitine Dante in the heavy train, and the mechanical lock could not be blasted open even with artillery, the wagon was forged from high-strength alloy, but the ancient mecha in front of him clearly broke through the prisoner of the train, and spread its wings like a demon in the human world.
"Damn, how could he let the ancient mecha come to him!" At this time, the princes could not maintain peace at all, this scene was simply weird, and the nobles actually had a feeling of fear in their hearts at this time.
"Because they are ancient mechas, there is a legend that they all have their own souls." But Stein didn't feel fear when he looked at the dragon shadow falling in front of him, on the contrary, he was very calm. This is a rumor that has been circulating for a long time. Long ago, the New Roman Empire claimed that it was the devil's stand-in from the moment the ancient mecha was excavated, and the emperor who believed in the Orthodox Church sealed it in the Holy Sepulchre. However, the Holy Church did not think so, and they defied the empire, which was still the suzerainty of the Holy See at the time, and secretly infiltrated the Holy Land to steal an ancient mecha. This opened the way for the development of the Holy Church mecha, and also led to the fall of Constantinople. Of course, the Holy See has always been contemptuous of Herod's fear of ancient mechas, which were considered by the cardinals at the time to be a gift from God, and now the Church insists on it. Although with the advent of the new era, few people believe in the legend with religious overtones anymore, those who come into contact with mechs believe in that legend.
Ancient mechs are never simple machines, but have souls.
Time and time again, the ancient mecha was thrown into the eastern battlefield by the Holy See, which made the church tremble - the ancient mecha was clearly following its nature, that is, killing.
It is conceivable how terrifying Dante of Constance, who can control the ancient mecha, is. He could actually let that will to kill finally obey him. You can imagine what a weird thing that is.
"What are you kidding?" The nobles' voices trembled, they couldn't believe what the other party said, this is too absurd!
Looking at the scene in front of them, the princes could only watch the waves of fire from the monster cannon gradually subside. The power is enough to raze the entire block, and the firepower in that situation is difficult for even the mecha to bear, not only the extreme heat and shock wave caused by the incendiary bombs, but also the shrapnel that contains great kinetic energy, and the mecha will inevitably be shattered if it is affected.
But it was a very strange intuition that gave them no confidence that Cons, Dante, would die so easily in the fire.
The princes watched nervously, black smoke rising and flames still burning above Warsaw.
It seems that everything has calmed down and vanished.
But the princes and the nobles around them were still staring at it.
Suddenly, a terrifying roar came, as if it was about to tear the sky apart.
The terrifying wings were once again in their sight, the wings of the dragon Nidhogg, like the scythe of death in the firelight.
"This can't be ......" Until this time, there were still people who couldn't believe it, because the power of the dense fire network formed by the monster cannon was conceivable, and they couldn't accept the fact that they couldn't kill each other in this way. At this moment, however, this is nothing more than absurd self-deception.
"As I said a long time ago, it would be a mistake for you to despise that person." At this moment, Stein, who had been silent, finally spoke. But this was instead infuriating the already panicked princes.
"What qualifications do you have to say anything cool here?!"
"If it weren't for me, you'd be dead. This time, Consité Dante's target is you. As an obstacle to the coronation of Her Royal Highness the princess, how could the Grand Duke not see you get rid of it? Stein said nonchalantly.
"But you have pushed your comrades to their deaths, and even now that you have lost Consité Dante, the Holy See will not let you go. I'm curious why you're so calm. Marshal Mauser did not panic either, but just looked at the other party calmly and asked. Things have come to this point where the entire power of the Holy See in Poland has been completely wiped out by Constance Dante. One can imagine what will happen when the Holy See knows about it, and no one can bear the wrath of Rome.
"If I can't bear it, so will you. But if I kill him, the Holy See will not only not punish me, but will also give me incomparable glory, and it will bestow incomparable glory on Poland......"
"Why?"
"Because we killed the Knight King."
……
The flames burned slowly through the block, and at the moment when the bombardment of the monster cannon was about to fall, [Nidhogg] appeared in time and enveloped Consei-Dante. At that moment, the sky fell apart. Even those hiding in the basement can feel how horrific the destruction was.
Bonifazia shuddered and curled up in the corner, pitiful, with only General Kurak by her side.
"Uncle Consition Dante will not be in danger!" The girl felt like she was under pressure like never before, and Kurak could only comfort the girl in harmony. But he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't guarantee it at all.
Inside the entire basement, the atmosphere was so oppressive that people were about to suffocate.
The battle did not begin immediately, and the Novgorod warriors distanced themselves from General Kurak and Bonifazia, who were the ones who drew Consdante into the war.
Berhis, in particular, had not spoken to the girl from the beginning three years ago, for the simple reason that he knew that Constance Dante's soft-heartedness would sooner or later lead to catastrophe. The best thing to do is to have no intersection!
Constance, however, did not listen to him.
At this level, the scale of the war is comparable, is this a decisive battle?
Although he did not know what had happened, Bersches believed that Constance Dante could not have been defeated so easily, and he did not believe that he would lose his life before he could get his sister back.
But can even the most powerful knight, Constance Dante really resist a nation? Berthes couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, he didn't obstruct it at that time, but it led to such a thing, he figured it out early in the morning.
Vivien should blame me!
……
On the ground, there was a scene of purgatory, and the surface of the dragon, the reclaimed metal was slowly regaining its shape, and only a little [Nidhogg] was about to be destroyed by the fierce artillery fire. The most dangerous single piece almost split the ancient mecha in half, but at the last moment, it still didn't succeed.
At the same time, Constance Dante was already in the body of the ancient mecha, and the young man laughed silently, and at this moment, the ancient mecha was devouring the wreckage of the fallen mecha without his control. Cons-Dante didn't know how to explain this, but as if he was eating, Nidhogg was recovering.
And at this moment, in the drizzle at the end of the street, the knights stood side by side in a cloud of steam, spears of black iron, like walls of steel.
This is not the Holy See's mecha, and the steam gradually dissipates, and Constance Dante finally sees the other party's face clearly.
And on the surface of those mechas, an eagle is peeking at him hideously.
"Poles, can't you wait at last?" Constance Dante muttered to himself.
Have they decided not to hide it anymore? It seems that his original purpose has been achieved, and now the actions of the Poles are tantamount to declaring war on Novgorod, and Constantine no longer has any scruples, even if he is facing a country, it is not impossible to bury a country. Moreover, Constance Dante only needs to uproot the decay of those upper strata.
What I didn't do thirteen years ago, I won't let the tragedy rewrite today.
Is it the army led by Jagieilvo? Constance Dante said silently in his heart.
Do you still love your daughter? If you still love, get out of the way, or I won't show mercy.
At this moment, the Nidhogg he controlled seemed to be exhausted, but Constance Dante still grabbed a broken sword in his hand, and everything turned into a pile of scrap metal under the fire. It was the only weapon he could rely on, and now what he needed was to get through the iron wall of the mechs, the barrier formed by the knights to keep Constance Dante from leaping out.
But Consdante had no fear, and on the contrary, he was about to rush at the other side with his broken sword in his hand.
……
"What the hell are we doing now!" Someone pounded the table angrily, "Why don't we know about this kind of thing until now?" Knight King, Lord Stein, are you kidding? The panicked faces of the nobles were no different from those of ordinary people, but they were even more hurried.
Stein, on the other hand, looked at the other party coldly and asked, "May I ask you, do I need to deceive you now?" ”
"What about the 'Knight King'? Hasn't the Holy See always firmly denied it? But why the hell are you telling us that we're fighting the real 'Knight King'?! ”
For a long time, the symbol of the knight-king was not officially recognized, and for many years, there were legends of the knight-king of the New Roman Empire. And the Knight King is the most respected title of every mecha knight. But all along, it was only referring to the knight kings of the new Roman Empire.
And now Stein claims that the Poles are now facing a real knight king.
At first, everyone felt that they had misheard. But Stein's expression denied it.
"The Holy See claims that Isaiah is on earth to save the living, and the Pope is the agent, do you believe it?" Stein doesn't shy away from saying that what he means is simple: there are never absolutes. The denial of the Holy See is merely an attempt to cover up some facts.
"So what do we do now? Can we rely on us to fight against the existence of the Knight King? What are you kidding, Poland can't be your pedal for promotion! Someone couldn't help but growl. They have also heard the legend of the Knight King, and they used to think it was absurd, but now that the Knight King is real, can they really resist the existence of that one person who can destroy the country?
"You are too out of shape, even if you are a knight king, what can you do? Don't forget...... No one can resist the state apparatus, not even the Knight King! If that's the case, do you think he'll be that Lake Chud? ”
While Stein and the other nobles were arguing, Marshal Mauser finally spoke: "Now is not the time to analyze the truth and falsehood, how to eliminate him!" Whether he is a knight king or not, now the front reports that he is now approaching us. In other words, his target is us! ”
The aristocrats behind the scenes finally became afraid, how many years had they not been afraid? But today for the first time, I felt the fear of death.
"Isn't there still the Grand Duke of Jagieworth?" Someone finally broke the silence.
"Now the Lord of Jagieworth is leading all the Mecha Knights to confront Constance Dante." This is the person in charge of communications Korosław replied on the side, "At the moment there is no immediate exchange of fire between the two sides, and there is no danger for the time being." ”
"So what is that Lithuanian barbarian waiting for? The combat power of the knight he led is much stronger, let him kill that bullshit knight king immediately! The hoarse nobles shouted frantically.
"I'm afraid that they will really sit idly by, it is you who Constance Dante wants to exterminate, if that is the case, it is not impossible for the Lithuanians to give up on you, Marshal Mauser, you had better follow my advice, otherwise, it will be too late." Stein gave an ultimatum to the other party with a grim expression.
But Marshal Mauser suddenly pulled out a short hammer from his waist and aimed it at Stein's head, "I refuse!" ”
No one expected Marshal Mauser to suddenly change his face, and Stein became weird and sneered: "You are crazy! Do you think that if you kill me, Cons Dante will let you go? I'm afraid that Her Majesty will not let you go, let alone the wrath of the Holy See. ”
But his threat didn't change the color of the old man in front of him in the slightest. Marshal Mauser turned the butt of his rifle and it was a hard blow that landed heavily on Stein's face, knocking out several of his teeth.
At that moment, Stein's eyes widened, he didn't expect the other party to dare to do this.
And the old man's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Don't try to threaten me, for those of me who have survived the purgatory of war. Your set is just pediatrics. All I fear is the Holy See. And as you said, if Cons-Dante is not dead now, the Holy See will no longer care whether you live or die. (To be continued.) )
