454 [Alone]
"Why?" Emperor Xia said with his mouth open in disbelief.
"This ...... I'm afraid you have to ask yourself. Rowe said.
Emperor Xia exploded on the spot, stepped forward directly and grabbed Luo Wei's collar, and roared wildly: "She is my wife, how could I not love her?!" Give me the Soul Gem, give it to me! ”
Luo Wei pushed him away: "Husband and wife may not love each other, and the emperor may not love the queen, this is not a strange thing." Whether you love your wife or not, I think you know better than anyone else. ”
Emperor Xia stepped forward again and grabbed Luo Wei, and shouted hoarsely, "I know I love her, give me the soul gem!" I want a soul gem, give it to me!! ”
Luo Wei sighed: "I also want you to leave Vormir with the soul gem, but it's not up to me. According to the judgment of the soul gem, you just don't love your wife, and the sacrifice is invalid. ”
Emperor Xia was still unwilling, panting heavily, but unable to speak.
After a few moments, he turned and walked up to one of his subordinates and said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister Oka, you swore allegiance to me to the death, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Oka bowed his head and said, he looked very old, his hair was gray, but he was still in good spirits.
Without hesitation, he added, "If you need it, I'm willing to exchange it for a soul gem as a sacrifice for you." ”
"Nope." Emperor Xia vetoed, "I can't sacrifice you, the revival of the empire needs your strength." ”
Then he moved his gaze behind Okka: "I want you to sacrifice your son. ”
Hearing this, Oka changed color, and subconsciously protected his son who was standing behind him: "Your Majesty, this, he ...... He's still a kid! ”
Emperor Xia put his hand on his shoulder and looked him in the eye: "I know that he is your only child. But you should understand that this is for the sake of the future of our country, the entire Hia nation. I've sacrificed my wife for this, Okka, and you said you would swear allegiance, didn't you? ”
Prime Minister Oka was silent for a long time.
After a while, he turned to look at his son: "My child ......"
"Father ......," the son recoiled in horror.
Emperor Shia grabbed him and dragged him to the edge of the cliff, then looked at Prime Minister Okka, gritted his teeth and said, "It's up to you to push him down." ”
Prime Minister Oka opened his mouth and walked over slowly, looking at his son.
"No, father, I don't want to die!" The boy knelt on the ground, begging with tears streaming down his face.
Prime Minister Oka stretched out his hand, but it stopped in mid-air, and he didn't push it towards his son, his thin fingers trembling incessantly, showing his inner struggle.
At the same time, dozens of other people witnessed this scene and couldn't help but talk to each other.
"That kid is so pathetic!"
"I don't think the prime minister will do that, this is his only child, he sees it more than his life......"
Faced with a similar voice, someone in the crowd immediately retorted: "Do you think that the prime minister should not sacrifice his children?" ”
Prime Minister Oka still didn't move, his trembling hands stopped in mid-air.
"What are you hesitating about, my Prime Minister?" Emperor Sia asked, "For the revival of Thea, the people will remember your contributions and sacrifices." ”
Half a day.
Prime Minister Oka exhaled a long breath, lowered his arm, and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't do it......"
"What do you say, can't you do it?" Emperor Shia's eyes widened.
Prime Minister Oka bowed his head: "Yes." I cannot obey your orders, please put to death for treason. ”
"You......" The corners of Emperor Xia's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Humph!" He snorted angrily, but did not execute the prime minister.
Emperor Xia walked into the crowd again, looked left and right, and then stretched out his hand: "My foreign minister, you and your wife are more affectionate than gold, and now is the time for you to sacrifice your life for the country!" ”
His demeanor was a little crazy, and his tone was no different from that of persecution.
All eyes were on the Foreign Secretary, and the atmosphere was as quiet as if it were solid, and it was breathless. The Foreign Secretary was silent.
Emperor Shia became more and more manic, and stepped forward to grab his clothes: "Damn, what are you hesitating about, do you want to sit back and watch the fall of the Xia Empire, and sit back and watch us lose the only chance to turn defeat into victory?" Yes? ”
"Your Majesty, with all due respect...... It's impossible for us to turn the tables around. Said the foreign secretary.
Someone chimed in: "Yes, Your Majesty, in fact, we can start from scratch, conquer a backward civilization first, and develop slowly. Didn't the Sia Empire develop from a small civilization? ”
Emperor Sia roared, "As long as there is a soul gem, it will definitely be possible!" Sacrifice your wife, or let your wife sacrifice you, for our country! ”
"It's your country, not us." A sentence suddenly erupted in the crowd.
Although this sentence is not loud, it is like an earth-shattering shock. Everyone felt that because of the appearance of these words, the atmosphere that pervaded the place had changed from tense to dangerous.
Emperor Xia was silent for half a second, looked at the subordinate who said this, and asked coldly, "What did you say?" ”
Cold sweat oozed from the man's head, but surprisingly he did not flinch, but shouted angrily, pointing at him and saying, "We've had enough!" You madman, tyrant, wife killer, you don't care about anyone's life for your reign and ambitions! ”
Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the personal soldiers beside him: "Kill him, kill this traitor!" ”
The soldiers remained loyal and immediately obeyed the order and prepared to raise their guns and shoot.
However, not everyone remained loyal, and before Emperor Shia could finish speaking, someone shouted: "We can't listen to this tyrant anymore, he will sacrifice us all!" ”
"Kill the tyrant!"
"Kill!"
About half of the people chose to betray Emperor Xia, and the battle broke out, just now they were all comrades, and in the blink of an eye, they fought each other, and dozens of people were in a mess.
In addition to the two warring sides, there were several people who chose to leave, running to the small spaceship not far away, and leaving the star of Vormir directly. Among them was the green-skinned Zehouberg.
The battle proceeded quickly, like a group of eggs holding stones and beating each other, which is almost the norm of technological civilization.
What is somewhat surprising is that Emperor Xia's combat effectiveness is quite not weak, and with the help of excellent equipment, he became the last person to survive this battle, although he was also seriously injured.
He clutched the wound in his chest, snapped the last of his fallen foes with a single shot, and then gasped and looked around, to find himself alone.
He was the only one left on the huge Vommel Star except for the statue-like guardian and a few people who fled in spaceship.
"Soul Gem...... Give me the Soul Gem...... I'm going to kill Sanos......" Emperor Xia still didn't give up his obsession, dragging his seriously injured body towards Luo Wei, his eyes cloudy, and his mouth repeating indistinctly.
Luo Wei felt that this guy was about to pounce on him, and quickly flashed a step, and said at the same time: "I have said it many times, I don't have soul gems. ”
Wait a minute.
Sanos?
Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, but suddenly realized that Emperor Xia seemed to have mentioned Thanos just now.
"Thanos destroyed the Shia Empire?" He turned around and asked, only to find that Emperor Shia was gone, and there was no one behind him.
