Cockroaches, commonly known as "Xiaoqiang" and "Ningxi", are the most common small flying insects in human homes, and they live in the wilderness, but also in the homes of ordinary humans, stoves, beds, firewood rooms, wall cracks, ...... Cockroaches can be found in almost any corner, this insect has extremely tenacious vitality and adaptability, can withstand extreme environments such as high temperatures, low temperatures, strong acids, strong alkalis, etc., and can survive for more than 10 minutes even in a vacuum without air, and a decapitated cockroach can survive for 9 days, and die after 9 days due to hunger.

However, despite being inseparable from humans, when humans see cockroaches, they usually wait in slippers and never stop until they are slapped into meat sauce. Because cockroaches are an extremely hated insect by humans, they are disgusted and feared by human women. Even though cockroaches themselves do not have any combat power, most human females are afraid of cockroaches, and in their cognition, the meaning of cockroaches is no different from that of demons.

This reflex is fully expressed in the four women, although one of them is the empress who rules the empire, and the other three are often in the company of all kinds of strange magical beasts, but when a large group of giant cockroaches pounce on them, they also hug each other like ordinary little girls, and their hair stands on end.

For Julian and Dante, who were dancing with swords in front of them, it was nothing short of an ordeal. As an acolyte, Dante knew his identity and patiently did not say it, but Julian was different, and when he slashed and killed the hundreds of giant cockroaches, he finally couldn't help it.

"Hey, don't you know how to help?" Julian called out to the four ladies huddled behind her.

Several women looked at him with grievances and did not say anything, even the sturdy Nanokai.

Julian was speechless. He knew that the five senses of the senior beast tamer were shared with the subordinate beasts, and asking the three sisters to call out the subordinate beasts to fight these giant cockroaches was no different from them directly touching them with their hands. After two seconds of silence, Julian knew that the three sisters could not be counted on, so he looked at Empress Ipeia and said, "I say, Miss, this garbage can be emptied of a lot of garbage at once with magic." ”

Ipeiya's face changed suddenly, fortunately, as an empress, she had a strong temperament that ordinary women did not have, she reluctantly pulled up a smile and said, "I believe that with the abilities of Mr. Julian and Mr. Dante, these troubles will be solved soon." ”

Lamilie yelled at Julian, "Did you take the wrong medicine?

Sasha also chimed in, "Yes! You're a bastard!"

"I don't believe these bugs can be more disgusting than the pathogenic toad. Thinking of the toad he saw that night with colorful mushrooms on its back, Julian's hairs almost stood on end.

"Don't talk nonsense, the pathogenic toads we raise are much cuter than these things. The one who answered him was Nanokai, who had not spoken.

What kind of aesthetic is that?

Julian was so angry that he looked beyond the four women to a man standing behind them, "Hey, aren't you afraid of these cockroaches?"

The "Riverside Man" spread his hands and showed a helpless expression: "My arrows are limited, and they shouldn't be wasted in such a place." As for close-quarters combat," said the "Riverside," said the "Riverside" who pulled open his collar, revealing the bandages wrapped around his body, "and you can see that my body is not yet well. ”

“......”

Finding that he couldn't find the right words to refute them, Julian turned around and silently continued to fight. In fact, it is not appropriate to say that this is a battle, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a unilateral cleanup.

These giant cockroaches the size of a dog are not magical beasts, and if you dissect their bodies, you will not find that there are magic crystal nuclei inside, they are just ordinary cockroaches living in this dark tunnel. However, the life of cockroaches is extremely tenacious, they have lived in this extreme environment for several years, in the process most of the cockroaches were killed by magic, and a few survived tenaciously, they not only survived the magic damage, but also absorbed the magic in the air, and after several generations of reproduction, they finally became this giant mutant cockroach.

Under the influence of magic, cockroaches, which usually do not actively attack humans, have become aggressive, and although their combat power is not higher than that of a cat, the ruthlessness of the desperate swarm makes even the battle-hardened Julian and Dante shudder. Although they are not Warcraft now, if it weren't for the sudden intrusion of these humans, in another hundred years, these giant mutant cockroaches would have condensed into a magic crystal nucleus and evolved into a new variety of Warcraft, after all, the Warcraft of Olopa originated from ordinary creatures affected by magic.

It needs to be explained that the place where Julian, Ipeia, the "Riverside Man", Dante, Nanokai, Sasha, and Lamili are now located is in the mausoleum of the last emperor of the Rocal Empire, Mascoon the Great.

After the battle of Fernandez Manor that day, the invading "Suneater Pupil" armed forces were all annihilated, but the Fernandez family also suffered heavy losses, more than a dozen female soldiers of the forest ranger died in the battle, and the wounded accounted for two-thirds of the entire family's more than 80 people. Although they all know that for the sake of the empress and the revival of the Fernández family, some tough battles must be fought and sacrifices are inevitable, but when their daughters, relatives, and sisters, who have been with them day and night, suddenly pass away and become frozen corpses, who can handle them calmly?

So after that day's battle, comforting people became the third most important thing after rescuing the wounded and removing the residual poison. It took Ipeia about a week to get these things done. Although the location of Fernandez Manor is remote, but there is such a big battle, it is impossible not to alarm the nearby emperor ** team, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ipeiya asked the three sisters of Nannona to give up all the properties on the periphery of the manor, and the whole clan evacuated to the hollowed-out back mountain, that place is not only a monster farm, it has been built as an underground fortress from the beginning, and a large number of food weapons are stored in it, even if it is held for two years, there is no problem.

Because of the need to deal with unexpected special circumstances, new combat power must be added, when everything is dealt with, Ipeia handed over all the affairs of the family to Aunt Connor to deal with, and then left the manor with the three Nanokhai sisters, and kept his promise to take Julian and Dante to the imperial tomb to take out the things that Paternin had given to Emperor Mascoon for safekeeping, and the "Riverside Man", as an unknown visitor, naturally had to follow and set off.

However, when they came out of the deep mountains and dense forests, they found that the outside world had changed, because the civil war of the Rokar Empire was about to start between the two princes.

Since the assassination of Prince Libnam Drogen of Fort Huley, the beloved Empress Ipea has also disappeared from people's sight, although the palace said that Her Royal Highness the Empress is recuperating from illness, but the rumors that Her Majesty Xià has been placed under house arrest have not gone away, and the other two princes who hold real power: Prince Yulie Drogen of Mercadenburg and Prince Jenio Draugen of Busuburg, the contradiction has become more and more intensified. During a palace banquet a few days ago, Yure, as the proprietor, set up an ambush and launched a surprise attack on Jenio, who was attending the banquet, but Jenio successfully escaped, and he escaped from the palace and the imperial capital with his subordinates overnight. Although Yulie annexed the forces of the late sixth brother Libernan, drove out the forces of his third brother Gene, and controlled the entire imperial capital, his rule was not stable, and Geneneo gathered his army in the military town of Fimore, 200 kilometers south of the imperial capital, and had the potential to recapture the imperial capital in one fell swoop. The armies of the two princes were facing each other nervously in the southern part of the imperial capital.

As the empress, Ipeia was not surprised by the series of changes that had taken place in the country during her absence, on the contrary, from her expression, it seemed that things were developing smoothly according to her plan. Later, Julian learned that before Ipeia secretly left, she deliberately left a lot of "clues" in the palace, and the information hidden by these "clues" all hinted that Jenio planned to assassinate Libnan and kidnap her, and the eyeliner that Ipeia left in the imperial capital was also constantly spreading information against Jenio. Genio is thoughtful and clear-headed, and he can probably see the clues from this, but Yulie is irritable and self-serving, and Yulie has misled Yulie about the so-called "information" in the open and covert, and Yulie himself is willing to believe that Genio is eradicating one competitor after another in order to take sole power, Yulie decides to strike first, so there is a previous scene.

Once a war breaks out, no matter who wins in the end, the victims will only be innocent people. It is deviant to take outsiders to dig up her father's grave while provoking two brothers to go to war, but Ipeia herself has no guilt, in her words, everything she does is for the Empire, as long as the Empire is under the control of these three princes, there will be no way out, for the future of the Empire, she must get rid of these moths, for this reason she will do whatever it takes, even if it causes some casualties.

It is unforgivable to risk the lives of innocent people to achieve their own ends, no matter how noble their intentions, but Julian knows that he is not in a position to reproach Ipeya, after all, he has done so before. Even knowing that he would inevitably go to hell when he died, Julian did not have any right to complain, and the only thing he could do now was to do his best to complete the task given to him by the Pope and leave the country. Dirty politics, he doesn't want to have anything to do with it anymore.

Unbeknownst to Julian, however, in addition to the two princes fighting for power, which had brought the empire to the brink of civil war, there was another piece of news that was even more shocking: a few days earlier, the Holy City of the Central Church had been invaded by vampires, resulting in heavy casualties, and the Pope, who had given Julian the mandate, had died in the war. In other words, Julian's mission no longer cares about "success" or "failure", because this task has long since ceased to exist, and even if he brings the sword back to the Holy See, no one will be able to fulfill his promise.

Now, knowing nothing, Julian followed Ipeia into the royal tomb, where the giant mutant cockroach was only the most insignificant test of the long road ahead.
