Chapter 28 The Emperor Is Dead, Long Live the Emperor I
"Am I going to die?" Pimple sat on the pile of corpses, overlooking the woods and fields below the black slope, and his thoughts drifted away.
A giant sword slashed diagonally into his abdomen, and the demon's tremendous power almost cut him off even with his armor.
Fortunately, at the last moment, a veteran pierced the demon's heart from behind, but the veteran was also attacked by another demon...... In the end, the two of them rolled down the black slope with their arms. It was only at this time that the pimples found out that their comrades had all died. On the battlefield of Black Slope, he suddenly became the only one left, and then it was quiet.
The silence was eerily eeri.
Acne wants to cry...... Even if there were only a few minutes left in his life, he still felt sincerely lonely. The people he knew and the friends he had made since he left the village had all died on the hillside. I'm going to die here...... They still have me with me, but I have to go on the road alone. Unreliable captain...... If he's still alive, I want to ask him, didn't you say that a well-trained soldier can fight a few demons?
It's a pity that he died...... Majin, it's really powerful.
The blood was still flowing, and his consciousness gradually dissipated, "I don't know, whether my corpse will be eaten or become a demon, if I had chosen to leave with the magician, would it be better?" She, she's still waiting for me......"
As he was dying, he saw a golden figure come up to him and get down on one knee.
"Your Majesty... Down...," Pimple laughed, "the back road, the back road...... Hold on! At this moment, he lost the sincerity and fear of the young man in the countryside when he first met the emperor, and he was as relaxed as when he reported to the captain and teacher.
The golden figure nodded vigorously, raised the golden glove and patted him on the shoulder as gently as possible!
"And ......" The pimple remembered the girl in her hometown, and stretched her hand to her chest, but she couldn't do anything. The golden figure hurriedly helped him, accurately taking out the necklace wearing the ring. Seeing the ring, the pimples finally relaxed. "Next...... Yuzu Village, Linzhen, the most ...... The most beautiful ...... Tell her that she ......"
To convey something, the pimple couldn't be said in the end, he died.
Shen Yan helped him close his eyes that couldn't be blinded, and stood up silently. "The most beautiful girl in Yuzu Village, Xialin Town, I remember!" He looked at the pimples that died at such a young age, and the grief and anger in his heart could not be contained!
The Calculation of the Gods! The reckoning of hell and the abyss! The Emperor's calculations! The aristocratic calculations...... In this world, only ordinary people are calculated!
"Shen Yan ......", finding that Shen Yan had been standing still, Penny called out worriedly.
"I'm fine." Shen Yan raised his head, revealing a face that was exactly the same as that of Emperor Jeremy Constance!
Turning back to the valley is a hoax, and the man in the golden armor certainly can't really be Jeremy Constance.
Shen Yan had seen the emperor wearing this suit of armor out of the city a few days ago, and he had elven vision and clearly remembered Jeremi's face. However, the stand-in wearing this suit of armor and lying in the pile of corpses should also be from the Constance family, with a face seven or eight points similar to that of the emperor, and he also drank a stomach full of holy water - it took a few more seconds for Shen Yan to burn his corpse.
After destroying the biggest "evidence" of this calculation, Jermy Constance's plan was almost bankrupt.
But Shen Yan hadn't spared him yet—Shen Yan had taken on his form, put on his golden armor, and rode the Phantom Pony through the Shattered Ridge—and he ordered each of the defenders who were still holding their ground to leave, and told them to send orders to the defenders of the Bronze Fortress to prepare to retreat!
…… The reason is that the Imperial Guard has mutinied en masse, not only will they not support the defense of the fortress outside, but they will also take the opportunity to wave their troops north to occupy the imperial capital!
Without the material support of the emperor at any cost, the fortress hanging alone in the folded mountains would not be able to withstand the attack of the demons, no matter how strong it was. What's more, in this demon army, the number of mid- and high-level demons will be unprecedentedly large, and the strength will be unprecedentedly strong!
Abandon the fortress.
With the demon's organizational efficiency, they will only invade the north aimlessly, and then be beaten by the army that has withdrawn from the fortress. In less than a decade or two, the demons don't want to organize a decent offensive - their thousands of years of bloody war have dragged on and on.
Conversely, if you choose to stick to the fortress. In the case of no reinforcements outside and no resources inside, you may be able to hold on for a year or two, but that is to fill with your life! If the fortress eventually falls, the most experienced army in fighting demons in humanity will be wiped out here......
The defenders of the Bronze Fortress are the best at fighting demons in the entire continent! It's just that they're a rock in everyone's plans, and everyone wants to move it. But Shen Yan wanted to save this stone and appeal to everyone!
"Let's go, Penny, we're going to smash their big picture!"
The man in the golden armor rode away on the Phantom Pony, leaving nothing but ashes in his path.
*****
"It's just a little strange, why do they believe me as soon as I speak? Even if it's an emperor, it's too superstitious, right? ”
When Shen Yan gave orders to those troops along the way, he was already ready to be questioned. However, the preconceived excuses and explanations were useless, and all the ministries forbade it...... Shen Yan shook his head incomprehensibly.
If it's just that the troops holding their positions in Broken Ridge are very obedient, then there are still extenuating circumstances - it was originally a mission of nine deaths and one life, and the emperor suddenly appeared in front of the battle and personally ordered a retreat - at this time, I still think so much, is it not a brain disease?!
Why didn't the emperor come alone with his guards? Why does the voice sound a bit of a southern country accent? The height of His Majesty the Emperor......
None of this really matters! The important thing is to survive! After witnessing the brutal battle, the surviving soldiers found that their desire to survive had never been stronger. A "retreat order" that a commander can't refuse is better than a daughter!
But the Guards Legion, which had been placed at the junction of the Shovel Plain and the Broken Ridge, and now retreated to the Coldwater Gorge, was different—first, they still maintained a number of three thousand men, and they were fully organized; Secondly, the general who led the team made the greatest possible response under the framework of the order in the face of the surging demon tide, and finally saved the 3,000 people. It shows that the leader has brains and does not blindly follow the emperor's orders.
It would have been impossible for such a legion to obey orders from a man who was just wearing the emperor's armor and looked like the emperor. Because even the emperor could not give orders to the army like that. He can't get a written order with a seal when he goes back, and the general will be held accountable! It's not surprising that it can be counted as an escape!
But they really said yes!
There's no reason why there shouldn't be a reason...... Shen Yan remembered that the general's face was a little pale at that time, and there were tears in his eyes...... Did he not eat breakfast? Insufficient blood supply to the brain? Brain w?
Shen Yan could only think of such a reason in the end.
Well, what he didn't know was that there was a legend in this world - the returning dead rode a four-legged horse...... Nonsense, only the horses of your world have six legs! And the abyss, shut up! You tentacles dare to call horses?!
Therefore, when the emperor on a four-legged horse appeared in front of him, the general knew - look at the wound that pierced the armor, His Majesty who went deep into the Broken Ridge was actually dead!
But he didn't forget the soldiers who were cut off for him until he died! The heroic soul was sleepless, and he came back and ordered them to retreat...... What a good Your Majesty! (The unscrupulous emperor in my memory must be a fake.) )
However, he still had to take the matching sword of the Golden Armor as a token, after all, he had to go back and persuade the commander inside the fortress to retreat.
That sword Shen Yan was already quite embarrassed...... Shen Yan has heard of this thing that can make AKs, but can also be used as a material for swords? Is it used as a stick?
Penny, do you eat? Penny gave him a look of disdain. The problem is that this sword is not yet gold-plated like armor, it is indeed cast in real gold, full of materials, dead and heavy! His Phantom foal was overloaded...... Just threw it to this general.
The sword was left, Shen Yan rode away, and the general and more than a dozen subordinates naturally saw each other off.
When he walked to the mouth of the canyon, Shen Yan saw a mountain of demon corpses piled up there.
"You're useless with that, aren't you?"
“…… It's useless. ”
Then they saw "His Majesty the Emperor" wave their hands and boom!
Mountains of corpses crumbled into endless ashes......
