Chapter 116: Unsheathed
Although the palace is only half completed on the architectural drawings, it has already had a profound impact on the pride and momentum of an empire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
This can be seen from the explosive data on public security, health, and morale reflected in the data.
Walk up the steps of the Imperial Palace, the four corners of which are supported by gray-white marble columns, which are calm and quiet in the cold wind.
In the palace, a hazy veil hung from the stone steps between the marble columns, allowing the breeze to blow.
The tulle is raised, and the silver veil and the firelight reflect each other, showing the colorful colors.
"Your Majesty!"
The colorful woman stood at the gate of the palace, and Sauron raised his eyes, and between him and this woman, there was no liking and affection, no appreciation and deed, and no friendship at all.
Even though she is already the queen of the Berserker League today, Zoro is more concerned about the changes in her stats.
"Target -- Pesci, a foreign consul, 7 stars for governing ability, 10 stars for espionage ability, and 7 stars for language proficiency. Personal charisma, this person has mixed feelings for the Sky Empire, but for the sake of personal pursuit, she chooses allegiance. β¦β¦ And from the bottom of his heart he was deeply afraid of a demigod. β
Afraid?
Zoro's gaze swept indifferently at Pesci's face, and in general, her temperament had changed drastically compared to before.
The wildness that Sauron admired was gradually replaced by a kind of steady, deliberate humility. The wheat-colored complexion is also fairer than before.
Zoro didn't know what the Berserker woman had been through, but it was clear that she hadn't suffered much in the past few years.
In other words, Pesci's ascension to the throne was all due to the help and support of the Sky Empire's Emperor, whose influence now intimidates the entire Savage Continent.
Percy, her rule over the berserkers, is just a puppet.
The change in the pattern has made Sauron an unattainable existence in Pesci's eyes. Perhaps for Pesci, her ultimate dreams and aspirations are just a queen's throne.
And for Zoro, his goal is a throne!
As Sauron's gaze shifted to the left, he stared at a familiar face, "Tell me, my Queen, so far, there have been many people in the Savage Continent who have responded to our Imperial Expeditionary Army. β
A mature, confident, and beautiful figure. As ever, Sauron saw a real beauty.
"Your Majesty, in the entire barbaric continent, there are one hundred and twenty races that have responded to the call of the empire. The outpost legion is 100,000, and the first wave of the expeditionary army of 600,000 has already set out. At present, the tribes from the barbarian continent will form a second wave of expeditionary armies, and 200,000 people have already gathered in the plains. β
The return of the Glorious Queen's precise numbers made Zoro feel a little frightened. 600,000 people is already Sauron's largest estimate, and the Barbarian Continent is poor in population and resources, and he did not expect that there will be more barbarian tribes willing to join this all-out war.
In fact, Zoro later learned that the disappearance of the Great Migration of Beasts had plunged the Savage Continent into a severe famine.
And the Sky Empire claims to have food reserves that can feed millions of people. For small savage tribes, they can also live by hunting and gathering wild fruits.
For medium-sized and large tribes with high physical needs, the only way to survive is to join the empire.
The Greek blue eyeshadow depicted in the creases of the eyes made her gaze look as if it was reflected in a sea of blue, in which it sparkled. The long combed hair, and the two braids tied at the back of her head, were smooth and shiny, and they were reflected on her smooth forehead, like twilight in the pale eyes.
"For the Empire!" The plump flesh and wonderful shoulders formed a perfect curve, and her eyes were on Zoro at the same time.
Zoro looked at the queen, the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a hint of arc, and finally smiled knowingly, and responded in the same way, "For the Empire!" β
Wage an all-out war, leave a big mess, and the government affairs of the empire and even the barbarian continent will all be taken care of by the glorious queen.
For this woman, Zoro's heart was full of gratitude.
There are too many reasons to be only friends, not lovers, just like fireworks in the world, full of colors.
Imperial Sacrifice - Jessica.
When encountering difficulties, the stronger a woman is, the more she has a charm that makes people respect and feel distressed.
Being strong is not stubborn, nor is it strong, it makes the injured woman look into the distance and give herself a reason to walk around life.
Admittedly, sacrifice Jessica, who is eternally loyal to the god of the sky. This can be seen from the look in her eyes.
I saw that she was wearing a long white dress, embroidered with various temple patterns with a strong atmosphere with gold thread, and a headband on her head.
The scepter in his hand, the gem inlaid at the top, exuded a faint glow.
As the saying goes, a woman's self-confidence is her best makeup.
But judging from the data revealed on Jessica, she is no longer the Jessica she used to be.
Even though she looked more confident than ever, even her holy, beautiful smile revealed a hint of inexplicable weirdness.
"The target βββββ the Sky Sacrifice, and the will of the Sky God has manipulated most of the thoughts of this sacrifice. Personal Attributes: Hidden. Hint: If nothing else, she will become the wife of the god of the sky. β
Become the wife of a god in the sky? Thoughts are controlled, data is hidden, and so on.
Obviously, from this set of information, during the time that Sauron was gone, there were certain changes in the Sky Temple that he did not want to see.
"Jessica, starting today, you will resign from the Temple. In three days, the elders will choose a new sacrifice for the temple! β
No matter what kind of thoughts you have in your heart, at least on the surface, you are very calm.
Sauron knew that Jessica's majesty and beauty were half to his fault, and her resentment was half to his fault.
Tonight, Sauron decided to make amends for that mistake. Check in the bud. The sky god's bounty to the Sky Empire has reached its limit, and it's time to be rewarded. Next, it wants to descend on the Savage Continent, and Sauron will have to declare war on the gods.
As soon as he returned, Sauron was stripped of the priesthood of the sacrifice.
The abrupt scene filled Pesci and Glory's faces with surprise. On the contrary, only Jessica seemed extremely calm and calm.
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
Zoro stared into Jessica's eyes, narrowing into a long, narrow slit, and in Jessica's pupils, there was something in them that Zoro had never seen and couldn't read.
The atmosphere also became silent for a while because of the staring between the two.
"Brother, brother!"
At this moment, the appearance of winter resolved the embarrassment in front of him, and Zoro's thoughtful face temporarily became relaxed.
Winter came in surprise, and his whole body was full of the innocence and youthful demeanor of a girl, and he plunged into Zoro's arms.
"In winter, you grow up and become pretty."
Gently stroking Winter's silky hair, Zoro raised his eyes, and with Winter appeared, there was also the elven queen Yulan.
The queen of the wood elves, like a cold plum branch of proud snow, stands in the quiet valley, quietly and elegantly blooming, no matter how many people around her are watching her, she is like being alone in the empty field, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of holy atmosphere.
A standard classical melon seed face looks as if it is only slightly larger than a man's palm, just like a person who has stepped down from the most standard beauty comics.
Compared with the big eyes of ordinary beauties, her eyes are big and bright, and there seem to be rippling water in her eyes, as if she is silently talking about something all the time.
The firm and straight nose bridge, both feminine beauty and a bit of male heroism, slightly thin and soft cherry lips, showing an almost transparent ruby red, delicate at any time as if you can make people intoxicated at a glance.
A long green hair as soft as water, slanted down like a waterfall, and just the right amount of draped on the slightly slashed fragrant shoulders......
"My Emperor!"
Just seeing Zoro, Yulan seemed to want to say something. But she glanced at Jessica shrewdly, and after a brief hesitation, she immediately shut her mouth.
After meeting with the people, Sauron accepted to deal with the affairs of the Imperial Expeditionary Army.
The 100,000 outpost led by the Troll King Behringer, and the 600,000 expeditionary army commanded by the Griffon General will take more than a month to reach the Wall of Despair.
The total army is 700,000, including more than 100 races of humans and half-humans. Subtracting the attrition on the expedition and the number of troops attacking the entire empire, Sauron would have at least 500,000 troops.
At present, the ones gathered on the ice and snow plain are led by the Minotaur Broken Horn, except for the 50,000 Minotaur legions, most of them are half-orcs.
They gathered and migrated from the more bitter cold west and south of the Savage Continent.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At midnight, the storm blew up a whirlwind with snow and obscured the sky like smoke.
One moment it roared like a wild beast, the next it grieved like a baby. In the dimly lit hall, several figures appeared in front of Sauron.
After sitting on the throne for an afternoon, no one knew what the Emperor was thinking.
I could only see that his eyes were deep and confused, and from time to time flashed thoughts that wanted to stop talking.
About ten minutes later.
As time passed, Sauron moved his numb arm and held a war knife in his hand. He raised his eyes and noticed the first thing he noticed was the data of the group.
"Eagle King Weavers, 9 stars for loyalty, 9 stars for command. Battlefield influence, as a general, this person has unlimited loyalty and combat enthusiasm, and has unique experience in coordinating the overall situation. β
"Charisma, 12 stars for weapon mastery, 12 stars for infantry combat, 12 stars for general potential. Despise the gods and be selflessly loyal to the Empire. The blasphemy condition is 9 stars for command. β
In the field of vision, even if Weavers was kneeling on the ground, he could still see that he was tall and had a rough face.
Needless to say, the skin is coarse and dark, and the eyes are slender and often with a sharp light, which makes people not want to look at it for a long time.
In the past, such an appearance and expression, at first glance, made people feel that he was too sharp, and there was a sharpness and sharpness that had not been in the world for a long time. Now, Weavers gave Sauron a heavier and more restrained feeling than before, and the sharpness and sharpness of his body turned into a fierce momentum.
"Target - Imperial General William, 10 stars proficient in weapons, 10 stars proficient in cavalry combat, and 12 stars in general potential."
William's appearance looks more rugged than his character.
A small part of the cheeks that show out under the horsehair helmet are covered with a black beard. He looked up and nodded firmly at Sauron, but didn't say anything.
"The Minotaur has a broken horn, 9 stars for loyalty, and 7 stars for commandery. Battlefield influence, as a general, this person has unlimited loyalty and combat enthusiasm, and knows the overall situation well. β
"Personal charisma, 12 stars for totem weapon mastery, 11 stars for infantry combat, 11 stars for general potential. Defying the battlefield, this man's oath is absolutely credible. But he also possesses the attribute of loyalty to the Minotaur Prophet. β
In the main hall, in addition to Weavers, William, and Yolan, there are also Minotaur Broken Horns, and a special existence, the prophet from the Minotaur Temple, Buckingham.
The mysterious Buckingham prophet wears a one-piece black hat over his head, making it impossible to see his face.
Buckingham Prophet holds a black scythe in his five-fingered hand! The nails on the hands are long, the thin arms have tattoos or symbols, and there are two horns on the head that extend from under the touch.
Buckingham's appearance was a surprise to Sauron.
"Great Emperor, the gods hiding behind you have been able to fully awaken. Half of his body has even arrived, and tonight, we have to make an understanding. β
This was the first time Sauron had spoken to the Prophet Buckingham. To be honest, for such a mysterious guy, Zoro doesn't believe him, and he doesn't have a good feeling, but judging from the data reflected in his eyes,
"Targetββββββ Minotaur Necromancer. 6 stars for loyalty and 10 stars for spell mastery. Charismatic, this man came here with deep concern and full of respect for the Emperor. β
If it weren't for this information, Zoro might have arrested Buckingham Prophet and stripped him of it first. Now it seems that the other party's perception of the god of the sky is more acute than his own.
Zoro said lightly, "You can't hide from what should come, now that everyone is here, let's start!" β
Picking up the shield leaning at his feet with one hand, and leaving the Iron Throne, Sauron took the unsheathed sword and walked out of the hall first.
800 elite minotaur warriors were already waiting at the foot of the steps, all covered in a layer of snow.
"Half of the body of the god of the skyγAfter all, the battle of demigods against demigodsγ We still have an advantage! The target is the Temple of the Sky God! β
At the sound of an order, 800 minotaur heavy warriors began to move. The scattered snow powder and the passionate pace converge into a light and powerful pace.
Zoro took advantage of the corner of his eye to glance behind him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled. He wasn't worried, apparently.
Midnight curfew.
The empty stone avenue was empty except for a thick layer of snow.
In the gray sky, heavy snow and the whistling north wind fell one after another, turning the streets and alleys into a silver-white world of pink and jade. (To be continued.) )
