Chapter 220: Initiation
In the deepest part of the palace, in the grand and solemn hall, bright wall lamps illuminate this vast space.
This is the ancestral hall of the royal family, the place where the ancestors of the Ashiburne royal family were enshrined, and it is also the sealing place of the original emperor's "Protector of the Country, Supreme Throne".
The little Emperor Rudolph came here surrounded by a large number of people, and came to the most sacred and solemn place in the whole palace.
Accompanied by Jolly, Spiya and Lan, who were in charge of keeping Jolly and the little emperor safe during this time, and more than a hundred elite guards who were deliberately left in the palace by Bud.
"General Salef," Jolly whispered, turning his head to a brave young man in silver armor beside him, "I beg you to take someone to guard the entrance of the ancestral hall, and don't let anyone approach here." ”
"Yes, Minister Joly."
The young major general named Salef clenched his fists in agreement, his tense expression meticulous.
He was the most prized young man among the many generals of the Guards Legion, and he was already in the high position of a major general before he was thirty years old, and his talent was naturally needless to say, and he was the most promising person to take over the Guards Legion, and this time he was ordered by the general to protect the safety of the little emperor during the war.
In fact, if you really want to say it, a warrior like Salef who admires iron and blood is more eager to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions at such a critical juncture, but he is undoubtedly a competent soldier, and he never questions the orders of his superiors, and does his best to complete them every time, which is what Bud admires most about him.
But then again, in this extraordinary period when the army is in the city, being entrusted with such an important task as protecting the little emperor shows that Bud has far more trust in Salef than ordinary people, and is capable of this task in terms of ability and loyalty.
Soon after, Salef withdrew with more than a hundred of his guards, guarding the outside of the ancestral hall like an impenetrable wall, looking very vigilant against the petty people who might sneak into the palace and do the wrongdoing.
After Salef and the others left, Jolly looked at the little emperor who looked a little nervous not far ahead, and said slowly in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, please ascend to the high platform in the center of the ancestral hall, and the scepter in your hand is the key to lifting the seal of the Supreme Emperor." ”
The little emperor tightened his fingers, swallowed a mouthful of saliva carefully, barely maintained the composure on his face, and then said firmly: "I understand. ”
After that, the little emperor raised his feet and walked step by step to the high platform in front of him, the steps were not fast, and even each step was a little heavy, but the young emperor still walked forward unswervingly, without the slightest stop.
The soldiers on the front line are still fighting bloodily, and the only thing that the emperor can do now is to activate the imperial relics that have been sealed since thousands of years ago, and use absolute power to defeat the revolutionary army that dares to disobey the majesty of the empire, so as to put an end to this war.
There are two necessary conditions for the activation of the Supreme Emperor, one is to lift the seal with a scepter that symbolizes the emperor's authority, and the other is to obtain the approval of the Supreme Emperor with the blood of the royal family of Ahborne, both of which are indispensable.
That is to say, the Supreme Throne, which is the imperial tool that only the emperor of the current dynasty is qualified to use, the first emperor sealed it in the deepest part of the palace, the original intention is that when the future empire is on the verge of collapse, the emperor can still have the last straw for turning the tables.
And now, it's time to do that.
The little emperor finally walked up to the high platform, and after taking a deep breath to calm his mind, he raised the scepter in both hands, and then plunged the end of the scepter into the groove in the floor.
"Great First Emperor, and previous emperors, lend me your power, and I will protect it...... My Empire! ”
Accompanied by the little emperor's loud declaration, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up on the high platform, just like the legendary picture of the arrival of the holy angel in Western religions, incomparably noble and sacred, so that ordinary people dare not look at it directly, lest they blaspheme.
"Click......"
The sound of the mechanism turning sounded, and then the sound intensified, like a rumbling thunder in the ears, shocking.
The entire ancestral hall shook violently as if there had been an earthquake, and everyone's eyes widened, only to see that the ground in front of the high platform was suddenly cracked from the middle, and then the crack opened wider and wider, and soon an extremely terrifying huge hole appeared, if you poke your head out and look down, you will find that there is only a black piece below, and you can't see the bottom at all, like an entrance to the abyss of hell.
A rumbling sound came from beneath the cavity, as if something huge was about to appear in front of everyone.
Sibia and Lan, who were standing next to Jolly, watched this unheard of scene intently, with apprehension and expectation in their eyes, not to mention them, even Jolly, an old man in the court who had gone through countless storms, couldn't help but subconsciously hold his breath at this moment, and his two old eyes were round and round, without blinking.
But at this critical moment, outside the ancestral hall, there was a sudden angry shout from Major General Sailif of the Guards: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the palace! Guards, kill them for me! ”
The shouts of killing and the sound of fierce battles immediately attracted the attention of Qiao Li and the other three in the ancestral hall.
Qiao Li frowned, glanced at the little emperor who was concentrating on the high platform, and after a moment of deep silence, he said to Sibia and Lan beside him: "It should take some time before the Supreme Emperor Gu is officially launched, and you can't let the thieves who sneak into the palace disturb Your Majesty, you also go to help, and you have to stop them no matter what!" ”
"Yes!"
Sibia and Lan answered, and were about to rush out of the ancestral hall to help, but they were stopped by Jolly, only to see the old man look at his only daughter and sigh, and finally said softly: "Be careful." ”
"I know, father, don't worry."
Sibia smiled brightly at Jolly, looking very confident, and ran towards the door of the ancestral hall with Lan.
Outside the ancestral hall, chaos and slaughter are relentlessly staged, blood bursts under the handover of swords and soldiers, and the smoke of war and the bitter wails before death form a cruel picture that symbolizes people like grass and mustard.
There were two groups of forces engaged in fierce fighting, one side was more than 100 elite guards led by Major General Salef, and the other side was only three people who were weak and weak.
Armed with an exaggerated crimson spear, he danced vigorously and was a powerful warrior wrapped in silver-white dragon-shaped armor.
Dressed in a navy blue martial arts uniform, with a long black cloak hanging behind him, a resolute and rugged man, he has no weapon in his hand, just punches to kill the enemies around him, probably a boxer.
The last person was a woman, with short black hair and light chain mail, and although her appearance was not good, she had a neutral and sassy demeanor.
She was holding a large bow in her hand, which was supposed to be an archer, but at this time, in the face of the many guards who were besieging her, she did not shoot arrows with a bow, but moved between the blades with a flexible body, wielding a large bow from time to time, and taking people's lives with the edge of the bow handle.
Although the number of the two sides is very different, the three people who infiltrated the palace are obviously not easy to match, and they can still defeat the more than 100 guards with outnumbered opponents, and there is a faint posture that they are about to break through this blockade.
They came from Deaththorn, and were assassins who came to assassinate the emperor under the orders of Ulysses, taking advantage of the weak defenses of the palace.
The male boxer was Bond, who was the sixth seat, and the woman with the big bow was Melinda in the seventh seat, and the rest of the man had only recently joined Deaththorn, a new member who had been unusually promoted to the second high seat - Tazmi!
Lan, who came to help with Spiya, had just run out of the ancestral hall, and at first glance recognized Tazmi, the faint leader of the three, and couldn't help but sink his heart and look solemn.
He had witnessed the battle between Tazmi and Captain Javier half a year ago, and he had seen the intelligence from the Eastern Front not long ago, and knew that this was a pretty powerful character.
Although as far as Lan knew, Tazmi had always been defeated under the captain, but in the imperial capital, except for General Bude, who was fighting on the front line, I am afraid that no one could really beat him.
It is necessary to buy time for the activation of the Supreme Emperor, even at the cost of it......
Thinking of this, Lan's expression became firm, and his heart carefully deliberated various tactics faster than lightning.
And at this moment, the major general Salef, who was dressed in a tough style, saw them come out, and knew that he had two more emperor-level combat powers, as if he was slightly relieved, and then said bluntly: "The guy in armor in the middle will be handed over to me, and the remaining two are you can choose by yourself." ”
After that, before Lan and Siya could reply, Salef had already raised the steel spear in his hand and rushed forward, and soon he was confronted by Tazmi, and in a few breaths they fought several times, with a terrifying detonation roar, and the waves of air rolled endlessly, and even the surrounding guards could not intervene in the slightest.
When Salef said that he was going to deal with Tazmi, Lan subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to speak, but Salef didn't give him this opportunity, grabbed his weapon and entered the battle.
Lan knows that Tazmi is terrible, and Salef is also a person who has been in battle for a long time, so it is naturally impossible not to perceive it, and on the basis of being able to see the situation clearly, he can still take on the most dangerous and most life-threatening task, and he is worthy of being the successor of the Guards Legion who is pinned on by the general.
Then, Spiya and Lan looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and then each picked an opponent and joined the melee.
