Chapter Ninety-Three: The Tyrant

"Your Majesty!" Under the vigilant gaze of the two sword-wielding warriors, Eleanor's gaze locked onto Emperor Otto through the gap in her visor, "I beg your permission to speak!" ”

"I'm listening." The emperor is majestic and authentic.

"Your Majesty, I am a knight of the Empire. You once declared that you want to make this empire great again, and therefore brought us to this battlefield! "That's why I've fought so hard for this empire, and my relatives and friends died not long ago!" ”

The soldiers and knights around her did not speak, and all eyes were focused on her, and Eleanor was not afraid, but continued to shout:

"But this war is endless, and there is no hope of victory in the short term! Can you please tell me when this brutal war that has taken the lives of my relatives and friends will end? ”

"First of all." Emperor Otto said in a deep voice, "I express my deep condolences for the loss of your relatives and friends. Their contributions to the empire will not be forgotten. ”

"Secondly, this war is indeed extremely difficult and cruel, and there are many heroic children of the empire who have shed their blood on this land. But as long as we are united and united, we will surely win the final victory......"

"Your Majesty!" Eleanor interrupted him angrily, "I know you're waiting for the next Tide. But as you can see, the Demon Tide has not yet arrived, and the Holy See's offensive is becoming more and more fierce day by day! ”

"If this continues, if the demon tide doesn't come for a month, we'll be dead and wounded before then! How can this make the empire great again?

"Knight! It is inevitable that you will die on the battlefield! The Emperor's tone also became stern, "But that doesn't justify your fear of war!" There are so many demigods here in the Empire, and many more are making their way through the Alps towards the battlefields of Italy and Canada! ”

"What credentials do you have to conclude that the Emperor ** team will be killed and wounded in the next month?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding knights and soldiers immediately became excited. More demigods are coming? Doesn't that mean that there is hope for victory in this war again?

"Your Majesty!" Eleanor was completely unmoved, but continued sadly, "I have been following you to this battlefield for several months, and I have personally participated in the difficult battles along the way from Verona to here. The Holy See's lethal firepower is escalating, and now it is no longer something that normal soldiers can resist! ”

"It's true that you demigods are indeed the backbone of the battlefield, but they will only protect Your Majesty and the great nobles, when have you ever had the spare strength to protect ordinary knights and soldiers?"

As soon as these words came out, the excited chatter around them suddenly calmed down, and a strange atmosphere spread among the soldiers and knights.

"Ridiculous!" The Emperor roared in rage, "There is no distinction between respect and inferiority! Since you know that the demigods have limited power, how dare you ask the demigods to protect you? As an emperor, I don't think about how to serve the empire and the lord, but I am afraid of death, and I blindly point my grievances at the demigods and nobles, which principality are you from?! ”

"So, Your Majesty......," said Eleanor sadly, "the lives of you and the nobles are more noble than ordinary people, aren't they?" In order to achieve your strategic goal of 'making the empire great again', it is only natural that these soldiers and knights of ordinary origin should sacrifice their lives to die for the king, and pave your way to glory with blood and bones, right?!" ”

Her voice trembled and pitched high:

"Even if there is no hope of victory in this war!"

"Even if we continue to fight, the vast majority of ordinary soldiers and knights will have no hope of surviving in the future!!"

"Even so, you're still putting your entire empire on this big gamble! With the lives of thousands of emperors, is it possible to gamble that one in 10,000 that can realize your ambitions?!! ”

"Shut up !!" The Emperor's expression was completely out of control, and his face twisted terribly in a rage, "Kill her!" Blade Samurai! Execute this daredevil, the despicable thief who has committed the following crimes!! ”

"I see." Seeing that the emperor had completely lost interest in justifying, Eleanor, who was behind the visor, lowered her head and smiled bitterly in disappointment.

Although she had expected this, now she has finally confirmed the facts, and the last trace of luck in her heart has been shattered.

This emperor did not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers and knights at all. In other words, in the face of victory in the war, the life of an ordinary soldier is just a chip number on the gambling table for him.

…… It's a tyrant.

Facing the snow-bright sword light in the hands of the Blade Warrior, Eleanor raised her head suddenly:

“…… Otto! She roared bitterly.

The faces of countless blood-stained faces, the faces of her second brother Henry, the knight of Knight John, the knights who had been wronged and bruised in the prison, and all the soldiers who had died tragically and were hanged, opened and closed their mouths twisted before her eyes, and with all the strength they had never before in her life, they let out the same resentful and crazy roar as her:

“**!”

In an instant, a fierce white light tore through the battlefield.

The bodies of the two bladed warriors were broken at waist to waist, and the power armor, skeleton, flesh, and spine were torn apart by the sword light in that moment, revealing the wounds that were extremely smooth.

Eleanor maintained the posture of swinging her sword, and the pure white light was so rich that it completely wrapped her long sword, condensed like substance, shining like a morning star, making it almost impossible for people to see directly with the naked eye, otherwise there would be a terrible danger of blindness.

More pure white light spread from her body, flowing rapidly along the surface of her armor, and finally enveloped her into a humanoid form of light, like a blazing-winged angel, the son of the morning star, descending from the sky with a holy sword in hand, as if the thunder of God were on earth.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" More bladed warriors rushed forward, and the rest of the men gathered to cover the emperor, retreating in terror and panic.

Now, even if he is an ignorant soldier, he can see that the "Son of the Morning Star" and "Angel of Light" in front of him are not ordinary people or low-level transcendents at all.

"I know! I know! There must be high-ranking transcendents in the army who are trying to assassinate me! Emperor Otto, who was pushed and dragged and fled frantically, was still shouting in great anger, "I am in the name of the Saxon family, the supreme monarch of the Holy Solomonic Empire!" Declare this man a permanent enemy of the Empire! Any citizen of the empire will be killed! ”

A large number of blade knights in power armor rushed forward, and swords, axes and spears, as well as bullets from the surrounding Imperial knights, attacked Eleanor like a tidal wave.

However, in front of the white light that was condensed around her, it was like an egg hitting a stone, either being violently bounced off, or it could not withstand the force of the backlash and shattered.

"Fuck off!"

Eleanor roared with all her might, swinging her spear in a huge semicircle. The white light condensed on the body of the spear was extremely powerful, and in an instant, it cut off the four close blade warriors, even the people with power armor, clean and neat, without hindrance.

Then she pulled the gun in front of her, tucked it under her armpit, and quickly put on a stance.

Composite Gun Skills. Two dashes!
