The Invisible Empire, the Temple of Ice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are summoned here today... It's me who has something to announce. ”

The floating throne formed by the cluster of spirit children, the high Youhabach crossed his hands, leaned forward slightly... The expression is also a little more solemn than usual.

And the members of the Knights of the Star Cross, located in the spacious hall... In the past, he had placed his expectations and stocking on the 26 people, but there were not even half of the people left.

Behind them were the officers in charge of the various holy soldiers, but their mental state and appearance were significantly better... It's good to have a free spot so they have a chance to get closer!

Because of Youharbach's seriousness, all of them were in a state of kneeling on one knee with their heads bowed... Even Hasward, who is a guard, is no exception.

"This time in the face of the invasion war of the Grim Reaper... To be honest, I'm disappointed with the Knights of the Star Cross. You shouldn't be so weak... But you are foolish and take the trust I have given you as a capital of pride. ”

"As a member of the Empire... You have been given equal status by me, but you have taken you to fight for your own battles. Since the beginning of the war, not only have they ignored the warnings of the Academia Sinica, but they have taken the initiative lightly... In the face of a well-prepared enemy, you have exposed your ignorance and arrogance! ”

"Failure and death are not terrible... I can give each of you an infinite lifespan and great power, but it is not for you to squander. ”

Youharbach's murderous intent enveloped them all... At this moment, no one showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Even Bazby, who has other ideas in mind... also had to completely put away the little caution he had in the past: Youhabach in this state was already restrained to the extreme without killing people.

"Officers of the army... You're not doing as well as you want, but you're much better than the former. In the past, I was too focused on the present, and the empire needs to make some changes... Lift your head up for me! ”

Youhabach's loud scolding made everyone subconsciously look up... Then they saw the last shred of patience in those blood-red eyes.

"From this day onwards, the Knights of the Star Cross merge with the army... It's called "Star Cross". The former members of the Order need not be discouraged, and the newcomers need not be ecstatic... Next, regardless of age, seniority, or origin, everything is based on strength. ”

Youhabach's eyes gradually became extremely cold: "There are still 26 members, and the legion can't help but kill individuals... The winner is king, and the last 26 people who survive will go to the new world with me. ”

The atmosphere in the temple became extremely cold at this moment... But there was a sudden increase in heat: as long as they could survive and become one of the 26 people, they would be able to see the new world that His Majesty spoke of!

As for the life and death of the men behind them at that time? Who cares about those at this time: others are hell.

This idea is simple to explain... Where there is "me", hell is also heaven.

There is no place for "me"... Heaven is also hell.

This is also the result that Euhabach wants... What he has to do next is a last-ditch effort.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, according to His Majesty's will!"

Many exterminators unanimously responded to Yuha's words... No one can resist the power of the "Ancestor of the Exterminator", and they can only have a glimmer of life if they follow closely.

But the others didn't see the indifference in Hasward's gaze... In the new world that Your Majesty speaks of, no one will exist.

It was he who "eavesdropped" the conversation between the two that day, and wiped out all the rest of the insiders, and reported it to the returning emperor alone.

For that "new world", Hasward longed for... Yes, that's the answer the scales told him.

The world now... The existence of human beings has seriously affected the balance of all things.

And he is so trusted by His Majesty, so valued... The two of them are still so special, unlike any of the exterminators.

The difference is... The other exterminators seem to be able to actively absorb the spirit son, and they can even be subordinate to the spirit child after opening the holy body.

And when he was given power, he was like their emperor... It does not need to be opened to absorb the Holy Communion, and even to be subordinate to the Spiritual Son: this is the real "initiative".

The rest of his companions were just self-righteous and "active" thinking that they had chosen the best outcome.

Although this fact is cruel to them ... But Hasward had already decided: just like his holy word ability, World Harmony... Put everything on the scale, and then make your own choices.

"Get up."

With Youharbach's words, everyone stood up in unison... The atmosphere in the hall became strange: vigilance, uneasiness, and murderous intent ran through them at this moment.

"You've got half a year to go through the process... Ladies and gentlemen, remember that your battle is limited to between two people. Hasward was the commander of the legion to oversee all this. Of course, if you are confident that you can beat him, you can challenge him to your heart's content. ”

Youhabach glanced at Lidje Barrow on his left... The captain of the personal guard, who was the last man left, was respectful like a child at this time: although he had the ability to hurt Hasward, the other party was his "half body".

This time, the Emperor who collected the power of many Exterminators, including the Captain of the Grim Reaper... It is bound to fall into a kind of sleep of restorative strength.

And during this period... Most of the Emperor's power would be transferred to Hasward: challenging him was not much different from challenging the Emperor... It's all about looking for death.

Lijie knows it, and the other exterminators know it better... None of them would have such a mind.

The current Destroyer Empire even has such a title for Hasward: "Second Emperor".

That is, the status and strength of Hasward... It has risen to the level of Youharbach's successor.

Because for so many years, Hasward has a position above ten thousand people under one person in the invisible empire... But not only did he not have the slightest arrogance, but he always treated others gently, even in the face of weak people, he would have a heart of forgiveness.

Such an heir is compared to a ruthless and murderous emperor... There is no need to elaborate too much on which is better or worse.

"For the sake of fairness... Members of the original Order are not allowed to use the Holy Word ability, they are not allowed to open the Holy Sacrament, and there are no restrictions on the rest of the newcomers. Whether it's a sneak attack, a head-on fight... It's all up to you to choose, and you are not allowed to form any group. ”

Euhabach, who had made a supplementary note, looked at the small group of only three people left in Bombiaita... The trio who received the gaze pulled away as fast as they could.

Bombiaita doesn't care either... Her parents had told themselves early on that the man in front of her, Euhabach, was pronounced "Your Majesty" and "tyrant".

Whoever rebels against him... They are all dead, and there are no souls left.

Now that I am fortunate enough to see this scene with my own eyes, it really fits this statement 100% of the time.

"Alan... It doesn't matter who you are... I want to live and see you again."

Recalling the facts that Hasward told him, Bombiaita now has only one thought left in her heart: she should have been "dead" a long time ago, and she has come to this point because of this increasingly strong feeling.

"That's all I have to say... Hasward, the empire is up to you. After a tirade, Euhabach became disinterested and quickly left.

Hasward, who had been given the task, looked at the fellow exterminators who were hostile to each other as soon as the emperor left, and said lightly: "Within the scope of the Ice Temple, the one who makes the move will be regarded as a challenge to me, and the rest of the time... You can arrange with confidence, but don't affect your companions who don't want to join the Star Cross Legion. ”

Hearing this answer, the exterminators had to restrain their emotions and cast a look of approval at Hasward.

"That's it, and I look forward to your satisfying performance."

Hasward just followed his friend Harbach and left... The next six months were the most critical time: especially for their emperor.
