Sparks flew down, and the incomparably sharp Pure Flame Slash was bounced high, and the crystal clear blade cut through the air in an arc, reflecting a dazzling silver light

The force of the recoil was so strong that even Finn's unicorn mount couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his mouth hissed in pain

In the blink of an eye, almost at the same time, Keith and Anthony's attacks were blocked by the demon leader wielding a black knife to no avail

And although the demon leaders who forced away the three powerful punishment knight leaders in a row in a few millimeters in a row inevitably took a few steps back with their men and horses, the strength they showed at the first contact made everyone's hearts clouded with a layer of gloom

Looking deeply at the long knife in the other party's hand that exuded a black strange mist under the scorching sun, he was as steady as Finn, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a deep sense of jealousy

After a brief encounter, glancing at the men behind him who were fending off the siege of the Demon Knights, Finn nodded slightly

"The superior demon, coupled with the existence of the Black Knife and Dark Night, is much more powerful than his kindred whom we met in Pande~"

Tightening the hilt of his sweaty sword, Leo whispered to soothe the mount, which had become a little frantic at the sight of the Nightmare Beast, and slowly leaned in from several other directions along with Keith and Anthony

He understood that Finn's explanation was not necessary at all except to remind himself, and Leo could feel the tension in Finn's tense body, because from the very beginning, Grand Master of the Punishment Knight and the other two had not even looked at Leo who was close by......

There seemed to be a little caution in his voice, and the demon leader's gaze swept over the four of them and finally stayed on Leo for a long time, but for a long time, there was a sudden burst of irrepressible laughter under the dark armor

"Hehehe~ You should be ...... The representative of that one, I really marvel at humanity, I don't understand you who are so weak and full of uneasiness, fear, and inexplicable anger...... And by what qualifications were they chosen? ”

Gently rubbing the black knife in his hand, the demon leader looked at the few people in front of him who were still slowly approaching without any answers to his question, and shrugged his shoulders very humanly for the first time, and his voice once again became cold without emotion

"It doesn't matter, kill you and sacrifice your flesh and blood to the supreme demon god, and then my people and I will completely destroy everything in this pathetic and disgusting continent, and finally return home under the guidance of that supreme being, it is clear that you lowly wretched creatures will have nothing but to give their lives...... Get! ”

This time, without waiting for the demon leader to finish speaking, Finn, Case, and Anthony had already attacked at the same time again, and the three [Cross Slashes] that were obviously faster and more radiant were like an impenetrable fishing net that shrouded the small space again

Only half a beat slower, Leo did not hesitate to ride up, and after protecting the shield of his body, the Pure Flame Slash blade flashed with a silver light that chose people to devour!

"Your Majesty...... Next ......"

Grand Master Saru, the Grand Master of the Knights of Glory with his sword in his armoured hand, slowly bent down his tall body, and his face, which had aged for months, concealed struggle, anger, and deep disgust

His gaze passed over the young man in front of him who was wearing a gorgeous robe and pretending to be calm and a little ignorant, and stared at the small group of high-ranking nobles behind the young man who looked a little arrogant and proud

The young emperor laboriously handed the heavy golden scepter to his attendants with both hands, and hurriedly took two steps forward and lifted Saru up with his still immature little hands

Children born into the royal family had already learned a lot about the environment in which they lived while the children of the same age as the poor were still playing carefree, and the ubiquitous intrigues and strife made the young Emperor feel distressed by the maturity of his majesty

"You don't have to be so dear Uncle Saru, you are the best friend and most trusted assistant of my grandfather and uncle of the Emperor, and you are also my mentor and protector, and your deference disturbs me"

Sighing softly, Saru took off his helmet and tucked it under his armpit, shook off the messy hair that was mostly taken up by the pale, and straightened his back again, so close that he could even feel the uneasiness and apprehension hidden in the young emperor's heart......

Grand Master of the Glory Knight first glanced at the slightly cramped young emperor in front of him with complicated eyes that contained pity and pity, and then squinted his eyes and swept back to the nobles who heard the emperor speak a little restlessly, and the back of his hand that clenched the hilt of his sword made people feel how angry Saru was at this time

"You fools, I don't know which of you actually encouraged His Majesty the Emperor to come to this dangerous territory, some or all of you? But I can tell you very clearly that if Your Majesty is hurt even the slightest, you and your family will be completely crucified to the pillar of shame! ”

"We are very sorry for this, Sir Saru, with all due respect, Your Majesty is only a little concerned about some of your inappropriate and weak words before...... We ......"

"Enough, shut up! Now I really understand why Rolf is so determined to take out you pieces of waste, and even pigs are so much stronger than you in all your fancy costumes......"

Before the fat man in front of him with a flushed face finished speaking, Saru directly interrupted the other party's defense without mercy, just like looking at the cold gaze of a dead man, the other party subconsciously wanted to refute and scold the words and swallowed it directly

Of course, Rolf's efforts to eradicate the aristocracy and gather power still make them feel uneasy until now, knowing that even the House of Lords directly banned it

However, compared to the wealth and status that the nobles valued the most, there were still people who stood up desperately in the face of the furious Saru, and Duke Nalan, who was ridiculed at the city gate, straightened his collar without the slightest wrinkle, coughed lightly and stood up in public

He first bowed slightly to the young emperor in front of him with an impeccable smile, and then puffed up his chest and spoke to Saru

"It is not my intention to argue with you about the rights and wrongs of noble decency, but I just want to reiterate to you and to all of you the fact that from the very beginning of the Empire, from the great Founding Emperor and all the royal ancestors who have passed through it, have given the Knights of Glory the same duty and responsibility, that is, to defend the dignity and safety of the royal family and the interests of the noble community with your life at all times and in all places, which is a fact and principle that no one can change. Your impulsive brain is leading you and your knights down this path, and Your Majesty is here to prevent you from making more mistakes, and you know, we don't want a great family to be completely disgraced by your negligence! ”

"Phew!"

Duke Nalan's righteous words were only exchanged for a mouthful of saliva that Saru turned his head and spit out in disdain, and the Grand Master of Glory, who had already thoroughly seen through the filthy appearance of this group of nobles, did not talk nonsense, and strode directly in front of Duke Nalan with his sword

He grabbed the collar of the robe sewn from the finest fabric, and without pity, dragged it like some kind of fowl and stumbled towards the tattered bloodstained battlements

The sudden attack and the pungent smell of blood on the battlements made Duke Nalan lose all his pretentious composure, and he struggled and kicked and screamed like a drowning man

Several royal guards were about to step forward to stop them, but they soon flinched in front of the Glory Knights who were also surrounded by unkind faces

Ignoring the matter next to him, Saru pressed Duke Nalan's fat body against a half-collapsed wall, pointed to the battlefield below and roared in the ear of the other party

"Dignity? Status? Tradition? Look at the battlefield below and tell me fool, what do we use to protect what you call this, yes, every knight of the Knights of Glory, including me, is willing to give his life for this country, and we can be like Aeolia and every Templar who died valiantly, to launch a fearless charge against the demons! ”

Saru's words made all the Knights of Glory around them clench their fists, and the shame of watching the enemy slaughter the Templar Order below may be a painful memory that they will not be able to erase for the rest of their lives

After a few heavy gasps, Saru slammed Nalan's head, which desperately turned back to ask His Majesty the Emperor for help

"And then? Even if we win this war by chance, heh, although I don't think it's the slightest chance of that, and then what do we do with Leo and his army? Aiming the sword at our kind again? The kind of people who have traveled thousands of miles to save the lives of you stupid pigs? Use internal friction to make human beings weaker? Just for your position of power and your continued power? Wake up from unrealistic dreams, my duke, even if I don't want to, I have to say that the current empire is no longer able to ...... Can't ......"

Speaking of this, it seemed that the Grand Master of the Glory Knight, who had aged much in an instant, could no longer speak, he was powerless to throw away the frightened Duke of Nalan, and slowly sat down against the city wall with his hands covering his face, letting tears gush out from his fingers

For a long time, a pair of somewhat cold little hands gently grasped Saru's rough palm in the silence, and the young emperor's child's voice was so dazzling and sarcastic in such an environment

"Your Excellency Saru, I ...... I'm sorry...... Sorry that the Empire and the royal family have disappointed so many brave warriors...... I also understand what you mean that human society should not be destroyed and destroyed...... Regardless of status, at least when facing those demons......"

Glaring in disgust at Duke Nalan, who was sitting on the ground with a watery nose, and the group of frightened quail-like nobles behind him, the young emperor snorted coldly and pulled Saru up hard

"Grand Master of the Knights of Glory, Marquis of the Empire, Honorary President of the Knights of the Continent, Saru de Evans, in the name of the Emperor, I hereby formally confer on you the title of Heavenly Knight representing the supreme [Heavenly Knight], and promote you to the Duke of the Empire."

Drawing his saber a little rustily, he tapped Saru on the shoulder and completed the simple ritual, the young emperor bit his lip with some bitterness, and continued with some struggle

"And in my name, from now on all the existing armed forces of the empire will be under the command of Duke Saru, and his choice will be regarded as the choice of the imperial family, if ...... If the final outcome of this war ends with the victory of humanity, in order to ...... In order to...... In order to pay for the mistakes made by the royal family in the previous war, I, Bernadotte IV, am willing to ...... Willing to give up the supreme throne!! ”

"Your Majesty!!"

This time, not only the nobles led by Duke Nalan, but even Saru and the other Glory Knights shouted frantically at a loss, and the Grand Master of the Glory Knights knelt down on one knee, tears already blurring their eyes

"Your Majesty......"

The immature face showed the vicissitudes and maturity of his age, and the young emperor waved his hand heavily to stop the persuasion of everyone around him, and the cloaked young man behind him walked to the battlement, looking at the battlefield full of fighting and blood, and opened his mouth bitterly

"There are already too many wars, and perhaps for the people, a better ruler is more important than the continuation of a decaying empire, I hope...... In my life, I will no longer see fighting, no more internal strife, no more the wailing and displacements of the people! ”

Slowly got up and pressed the sword and stood quietly behind the short young emperor, at this moment I don't know if it was an illusion, Saru actually felt that the young man in front of him was so tall, this side emperor who rushed to the throne because of Rolf's violent death, this puppet emperor who was regarded as a transitional product by the nobles and the military at the beginning turned out to be ......

"Your Majesty...... If you had taken charge of the empire earlier, maybe ......"

Pain closed his eyes, and Saru's heart was almost filled with remorse and soreness for this moment

Taking a deep breath of the sweet air, the Emperor turned his head, and for the first time his face was filled with a relieved and cheerful look that matched that of a young man, and he grinned and spoke

"Do what you think is right, dear Lord Saru, don't worry about me, don't worry about anyone, go and use all the means at your disposal to undo the mistakes of the Empire, and restore the honor that should have belonged to you but passed away! I will wait in the palace for the final news, and if humanity finally wins, I will quietly wait for the new king to be crowned here, if it is a demon...... None of the Bernadotte family and the great ancestors of the empire would humble themselves as captives, and the great emperors would completely sacrifice the dignity of mankind with a raging flame! ”

Looking at the young man's tearful but still cheerful smiling face, Saru slammed his frantic punch to the ground, and he roared with all his strength

"Your Majesty, as you wish, the dignity of the empire will be redeemed, and humanity will be victorious again, we, fearless!"

Standing up heavily, the Grand Master of the Glory Knight solemnly buckled his golden helmet, nodded at the young emperor, and strode under the city wall without looking back

The air echoed only Saru's peaceful voice

"The Knights of Glory are ready to strike to...... In the name of the Great Emperor! ”
