Chapter 14: The Butcher of the Herod (II)

"Uncle Nikita!" Constance Dante hurriedly supported the big man who could not stand steadily, and the incomparably strong blacksmith was so depressed at this time. The broken arm was in a cast, and there were bruises on the face that had not subsided.

"Constance Dante, you kid really isn't dead." Nikita smiled wryly.

"Now is not the time to catch up. If we don't leave, we will all die at the hands of Herod's butcher. Belhiss slapped General Herod in the face and woke him up, "If you don't want to die, take me to General Merrides quickly." ”

・・・・・・

The old man who was seriously ill and unconscious lay quietly on the hospital bed, as if the war outside him had completely nothing to do with him. The powerful potion was not used on the mangled old man, but this also made his situation not optimistic. He was too tired, and it was not too much to spend his blood on this general, but the heavy misfortune of the empire finally crushed the old body.

"I have been running for that decaying empire all my life, but the final outcome is indeed like this..." Bel Heath looked at the sleeping old man and said quietly, "Maybe this is the best destination!" ”

(When he was alive, he was like a king, but at the moment of death, his soul was so lowly.) )

"I'm afraid the general's current situation can't withstand such bumps at all." The general on the side said worriedly. It is true that for an elderly person, it is too impractical to transport this dying patient on a stretcher.

However, Berchis glanced at the other party coldly and said, "Do you want to send him to death in the hands of the Rastins?" ”

"Now his life is not in anyone's hands, only he can control it. If the old man had remembered the promise he had made to Emperor Scipio, he would not have died so easily. ”

The sound of violent explosions is getting closer and closer, and even here people can feel the tremors clearly. The black demons were devastated, and even the unconquerable Troy would be defeated by them. There is no time to hesitate!

"Just do as he says, now we have no choice." Nikita said to the generals who were still hesitant, and now every second that passed would increase their risk here.

"How many mechs are there?" Berchis asked. "There's only one [Sea Harrier] left, and the other knights are fighting outside." The general was a little flustered, compared to the T-24 mecha, although the speed has been improved, the armor defense is pitiful, I am afraid that in front of the behemoth black knight, I am afraid that I can step on it with one foot. Even a knight as talented as Berthes would not be able to resist such a terrifying existence if he did not pilot the [Divine Monarch Caesar].

Even Nikita, who was on the side, had a puzzled look on his face. Do you want Vivien to fight!?

"I'll leave it to you," to the surprise of Herod and Nikita, the words were said to the sick boy behind him.

"You're crazy, how could he fly a mech to stop [Herod's Butcher]!?" Although Nikita wondered how Constance Dante followed Berhis, and the first meeting between the two was not pleasant at all, she still did not expect that he would let Cons. Dante control the sophisticated war machine of the mech. Even if he has barely mastered the knowledge of mecha in the past few days, he is just a child who can just stumble, how can he resist the "Chosen Knight"!? "I said he could, and he could." Ignoring Nikita, Berchis looked at the thin and feeble young man, and said, "The happiness of the future is guarded by the sword in the hand now, and if it is really the chosen knight, then they must also bow their heads before the king's throne." ”

"You're sending him to death!" Nikita almost pounced on Berhis.

"Noise!" As soon as Berhis's cold voice fell, Nikita felt a chill in his neck, and a tingling pain was thrown into the bone marrow, and then the potion was injected into Nikita's veins through the needle. The effect of the medicine was even more domineering than expected, and the intense dizziness and drowsiness quickly shattered his consciousness, and soon the strong body could not support it and fell to the ground.

"Uncle Nikita!" "Don't worry, Vivian is just using ordinary tranquilizers, there is no lethal measurement, this cow-like man will not have problems." Berchis gave Constance-Dante a cold look. "It's good for him, too."

Constance Dante breathed a sigh of relief, and Vivien put away the needle and looked at Herod; "Open the warehouse and let the [Sea Harriers] go out." The cold eyes almost tear people apart, how sharp. The man of Herod, who was a general and commanded everything in the headquarters, trembled under the gaze of a young man much younger than himself.

"Yes, yes!" ・・・・・・

"Unexpected stupidity, these Herodians." Ether looked at the telegram with a cold smile on his face.

"You deserve to be called the [Chosen Knight] of the [Butcher of Herod"... But now you are surrounded." There was a taunt from under the black cloak, and outside the steam locomotive, dozens of gray mechs had surrounded them, but the Knights of the Holy Armor were still slowly advancing here, and they were met with the crazy resistance of the Herodians.

Faced with enemies several times their size, the Knights of the Holy Armor who protected the Grand Duke of Tudor had no chance of winning.

"What a surprising composure, Your Highness Ether." The masked man said indifferently, and he (she) also remained calm at this time.

Esher didn't panic at all, both outwardly and internally, but the smile on his face faded. That handsome face, at this time as solemn and majestic as a king, is not relying on tyranny but from the confidence of a king from the heart.

"Isn't it the same for Your Excellency the Emissary, at this time, the Holy See's strategic airship is probably suspended above your and my heads, although it is not enough to destroy a mecha knight, but it should be no problem for you to retreat with your whole body." Ether looked at the papal envoy in front of him calmly, and said slowly, but the confidence that everything was under control was more intimidating than anything else.

(He even knew that.) It seems that in front of this young man, all attempts to cover up are meaningless. And this is even more intimidating.

As if dissatisfied with the young Grand Duke Tudor's indifference, under the silver mask, he (she) said to Ethher in a slightly provocative tone: "It's a pity that there is no seat for His Highness on the Holy See's airship. And the [Chosen Knight], who is the butcher's knife in your hand, is not by His Highness's side, so what do you have to rely on? ”

Naturally, as an envoy of the Holy See, he naturally does not think that this man has no backhand, but this is not only a provocation but also a temptation, even a cardinal who has never guessed what is hidden behind him.

Suddenly, in a way that the papal emissary did not expect, Ether pushed open the door of the steam locomotive, and the knight in charge of the guard was overwhelmed by the heavy fire of the gray mecha.

But Esher stood like a straight battle banner over the vast land, as if he were an army himself, and as long as he did not fall, this army would not retreat.

"When this moment comes too late, too late,

Please forgive me for being late,

At the end of the day, I will make known to you,

At the first moment, I will make you known,

I am your corpse picker,

I am the King of the dead. ”

The aristocratic boy sang in a low voice, singing in the vast world, but the invisible coercion slowly dispersed with him as the core, which was the silent prelude before the arrival of death・・・・・・

"The so-called king is always a monster destined to live alone on a cold throne, and when he sets out on the expedition, he will be earth-shattering. But he will be alone in the end, but he will not look back, because—"

"The king of hell is good at serving heaven."

Behind that man seemed to be standing thousands of horses!

The earth was suddenly torn apart without warning, and the dark golden black demon dressed in a magma robe suddenly appeared in front of the [Divine Hidden Guard], like a dormant dragon swallowing the flames and venom of the world, roaring from the abyss to take revenge on this world!
