Chapter 24: The Undercurrent Before the Celebration (I)

In Esser's hands, the struggling knight grabbed the dark golden Achilles' arm, trying to break free from the other's grasp.

The huge mechanical claw slammed into Esser's cockpit, but the dark golden Achilles violently severed the rider's other arm. Alloy armor, known for its sturdiness, was effortlessly destroyed.

"Out of control? Obviously he was very obedient before. Ether shook his head slightly, his car strengthened, and a sharp armor-piercing scimitar popped out of his wrist and stabbed into the knight's cockpit. But there's nothing to be sorry for! After all, it's useless. ”

There was a slight explosion, electric flashes, wisps of green smoke, and the black Achilles struggled weakly for a few moments before moving again.

Ether tossed the giant's steel corpse aside, the cockpit canopy of the mech slowly opened, and the man slowly landed from the rack with a halyard in his hand.

"Your Highness..."

Ether waved his hand and said slowly, "It seems that things are still not going well!" After all, this is stealing God's secret, how can it be so easy. ”

"It's just a pity, the 79th, which was the most hopeful before, finally got out of control." One researcher said sadly. But Ether said disdainfully: "Since it is a failure, then there is no pity, almost stepping into the gate of the kingdom of God, it is no different from being in hell." ”

Esser's words shocked everyone, but they did not dare to refute it, and there was no reason to refute it, because the fate of the failed product is like this, and it cannot succeed, not even garbage.

The medical team rushed up, although the cockpit was destroyed, and the knight inside was sure to die, but after all, it was also valuable material for research! The noise of the round-wheeled chainsaw, crowbar, and cutter was so loud that I don't know how long it took for them to finally open the deformed cockpit and drag out the bloody and mutilated corpse inside. "The nerves have died, and if they survive, they are paraplegic." "In comparison, most of his cerebral cortex has died, and he can't even save his life."

"Alas~ I obviously had great hopes for it before, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"

The medical team had no intention of rescuing, and directly dissected the knight's corpse, chattering. Since the destruction of the Chosen Guard in the Fendell War, their workload has increased immediately, and as the master of this army, Grand Duke Ether of Tudor is in dire need of a new army. While mechs are easy to replenish, knights are far more difficult to find than you think.

No one expected that Ether had turned all his knights into puppets of war, and they had accepted the forbidden technology of nerve bonding and became part of the mecha, without their own consciousness, only to obey Ethher's orders to kill. And now he wants to reshape an immortal army, but he has met with great resistance.

In the previous test test, most of the test subjects had a mental breakdown out of control, and finally had to be strangled halfway, and even the 79th, which had the greatest hope before, failed today. This discouraged everyone a little.

"After the fall of the Empire, the incomplete technology we acquired has only created a handful of gifted knights, and it has not reached the most perfect level. Why should His Highness be obsessed with creating gifted knights, this is a fantasy. Beside him, the man in charge of the test said softly, as if trying to persuade Esther to stop his madness, "The puppet knight can be replenished more or less, there is no need to pay so much useless price." ”

However, Ether sneered, "If you don't try, it's a fantasy." Only knights who have attained true immortality can bury the supreme king. No matter how much cannon fodder there is, it is just cannon fodder, just like no matter how many sheep there are, they will only become a delicious meal under the lion's mouth. ”

"Your Highness has changed a lot this time."

"Of course, I finally saw what a true king should look like. It also made me even more eager to kill him, the throne that would be mine. A sickly look appeared on Esher's face and she turned away.

Looking at the crazy back, the man muttered, "However, it is not the first king who has the blade to be qualified to ascend to the throne of that king. The true king is to usher in a new era. ”

"Bury the old times!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"His Royal Highness." Out of the test ground, Ether walked out of the Twin Eagles Mansion of the Military Headquarters, and a nobleman hurried up to Ether and saluted respectfully, "Baron Pinard greets you." ”

And Ether just nodded, there were many nobles who had always flattered him, and Ether didn't bother to deal with them. But Baron Pinard did not leave without acquaintance, but stepped forward and whispered, "At the celebration in three days' time, that lord hopes to see His Highness." So saying, the baron's palm was opened, and he saw a coin lying in his palm, a peculiar coin engraved with the pattern of an angel.

Ether just looked at the man in front of him coldly, just said, "I'll go," and took the coin and put it in his pocket without a trace, and hurried away.

Baron Pinard glanced at the man's figure, raised the corners of his mouth slightly without a trace, and left the place.

・・・・・・

"Now, you are my protΓ©gΓ© as an external identity." Preskas looked at Constance Dante with satisfaction, "This is like a mechanic, not a martial artist." "Cons Dante wears a white mechanic's overalls, and his thin body is very suitable for dressing.

"It's even better if you wear a pair of glasses. It's like a copy of Mr. when he was young. Alyssa looked Constance Dante up and down.

"Of course, I was in my prime," Priskas said proudly.

"Sir, Alyssa is actually saying that you are old!" Yulia reminded in a whisper behind Preskas.

"Scared! Yulia, how do you dismantle my platform... Sir, don't listen to Yulia's nonsense. ”

Professor Preskars looked at the two living treasures in front of him and couldn't help but hold his forehead, so he had no choice but to gag with them.

"Why am I like this?" Constance Dante asked, wondering why he was doing this, shouldn't he hide himself for experiments?

"There's no need for this, it's better to show someone with another identity than to hide it, isn't it? Besides, three days later, at the Kingdom Celebration, you will meet someone. Preskas replied.

Constance Dante looked at Preskas warily and said, "No need, didn't you say that I don't need to know the people behind you?" "But that doesn't stop you from seeing him, you are my possession, you don't have a choice. And there will be people you want to meet. Are you sure you won't go? Preskars asked with a smirk.

Constance Dante's heart was uneasy.
