22. The Fall of Monarch (Part II) --- Add to the DArk Brothers [3/10]
In the dim sea of stars, three golden starships hovered in the middle of the galaxy, which were the noble refuge who had set off from the star, including the members of the high council of the king, and the titular leader, the high priest Ayesha, and some high-ranking ministers in the country.
As a theocratic civilization, it has been hundreds of years since the monarch split from the Sovereign civilization, and the peaceful environment in the world and the genetic adjustment and reproduction that they have long popularized have created a serious solidification of social classes, and the descendants of the nobility are still nobles, and the commoners need unimaginable luck and sacrifice to be able to send their descendants into that circle.
In short, this is a feudal society wrapped in the cloak of developed civilization, if it were not for the highly developed technology and living standards inherited from the great civilization of Soveilin, so that the people at the bottom feel not so bad, I am afraid that the flames of the uprising would have burned all over this bad world long ago.
However, the leaders of the planet chose to abandon the city under the increasing attack of the demons, and sold the warriors of the front line to the demons, but they obviously did not think so.
"How's the war going on on the front?"
In the lavishly decorated starship lounge, the graceful high priestess Ayesha sat at the table with an impeccable attitude, holding a well-prepared drink in her hand, she seemed to devote herself to this delicious drink, not paying attention to the outside world at all, this "faint" majesty, probably a certain "bearing" they pursued.
And General Red, who was standing in front of the high priest, was the one who had actually abandoned the defense line with the rhetoric of reinstatement, and fled with the dignitaries, also changed his clothes, and stood beside the high priest in a human-like manner, and when he heard her question, General Red replied with a happy face:
"The situation is moving in our favor, the scorching battle lasted for 5 hours, the fortress's defenses were broken by two-thirds, but in the end the heroic soldiers used our unparalleled air superiority to repel the demons little by little! ”
"High Priestess, we'll be back soon!"
The handsome general's face was full of satisfaction, as if the victory had been won by his own hands, and in fact, according to the tradition of the Monarch Star, no matter what General Red did, as long as his soldiers won the battle, he could still receive the honor of the victor.
Hearing Red's report, a trace of doubt flashed in the High Priest's eyes, she put down the cup in her hand, folded her hands on her lap, and she looked at Red:
"Are you sure? Isn't it a lie made up by the front-line soldiers who are afraid of being punished? Didn't they say that the power of the demons was too strong for us to fight? Why did such a reversal suddenly happen?"
This question was evidently considered by General Red, and as soon as Ayesha asked it, he bowed down and replied:
"The power of the demons is indeed strong, but no matter how powerful the army is, it also needs a leader, and our soldiers paid the price of the total destruction of the remote-controlled assault ships, and after destroying their leaders and the most elite troops, the formation of the demons collapsed. ”
After saying that, Red reached out and turned on the portable projector on his arm, and a picture that was enough to make the Monarchs proud appeared in the center of the two people.
In the front were the demons who hurriedly retreated, few in number, and all of them were low-level demons, and in the rear were the soldiers of the Monarch Star who pursued them in chariots and airships, and behind this battlefield, the battle-hardened King's Fortress was covered with black smoke, the towering steel walls were smashed by a third, and the wreckage of remote-controlled assault ships scattered around.
This cannot be faked, and anyone with a little battlefield experience can see that this is indeed a great victory.
"This is the battle report sent by the front 20 minutes ago..."
General Red's eyes rolled, and he coughed lightly:
"According to the vague advice of the front-line commander, the soldiers of the fortress who have fought hard do not yet know the news of the evacuation of the nobles, and my idea is that we can return to the planet as quickly as possible, otherwise it will easily cause a morale collapse if the news leaks out... Although we have won the battle, the demons of the frontier and the dead still rely on the warriors to fight their lives. ”
This sentence made the high priest's face instantly look bad, in her opinion, it is the most correct thing to protect the noble genes and bloodline as soon as she encounters danger, but General Red's suggestion is also very pertinent, once the news of the rulers fleeing without a fight is spread, it will almost collapse the image of the ruling class of the planet, so after hesitating for a few minutes, the high priest waved his hand:
"You go and ask the council for advice, and if they agree to return, we'll go back at once..."
General Red took the order, and 20 minutes later, the three of the planet's largest and most ornate starships turned around and began to return towards the "war is over" planet.
"Buzz"
The light of the starship leap bloomed in the sky above the capital city of Monarch Star, and the three ships quickly returned to the Royal Starport in stealth mode in order to avoid people's eyes.
"Let the heroes of the front line come to the city of kings as quickly as possible. ”
The High Priest commanded: "We need to create a true hero to attract the attention of the people, and we need such a hero to unite the hearts of the people in this critical moment." ”
General Red nodded and whispered:
"Devin is already waiting for your summons in the command hall of Starport!"
"Very well, then let him come..."
Before the High Priest could finish his sentence, he heard a violent commotion coming from outside the command hall, and everyone's eyes looked outside, and then they saw the guards who had been pushed aside, and a dozen tall figures in gray cloaks, who were walking briskly in this direction.
General Red recognized the man at a glance, and he took a few steps forward and shouted loudly:
"Devon, what's the matter with your soldiers? The honorable High Priest is here, let them calm down!"
Devin is the front-line commander who is stuck in the King's Fortress, after hearing General Red's voice, Devon's body trembled violently, he stretched out his hand, and the hooded soldiers behind him quieted down, seeing this scene, General Red nodded with satisfaction:
"Come quickly, then, and let the noble High Priest take a look, our hero. ”
Devin walked step by step towards the supreme ruler of the planet in front of him, the hood on his body was very tight, and the gray covered his entire head and body, looking a special mystery and gloom, such a dress was obviously not what an audience should be, so General Red walked quickly to Davin, and he scolded in a low voice:
"What is this doing, Davin, take your hood off and let the High Priest take a good look at you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Huh"
Hearing this, the front commander let out a hoarse low laugh, and his hands in black armor reached out from under the gray hood and grabbed the edge of the hood:
"Do you want to see my face now? Okay, I'll satisfy you, Red... My general. ”
"Ahh
At the moment when Devon's hood was lifted, the maid beside High Priest Ayesha let out a frightened cry, and General Red couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes full of shock and a touch of horror.
Devin raised his head, his originally handsome face had been distorted, and beyond his cheeks, there were new dark green scales, and his golden skin, which originally symbolized noble genes, had also turned pale green, and the most terrible thing was that on his forehead, there were two newborn black curved horns, and those originally wise eyes had also turned dark red, which shone with madness, tyranny and indifference.
"Click"
Devin grabbed Red by the neck and lifted him off the ground with ease, and in the midst of his emotion, hideous black bone spurs burst out from Davin's back, shoulders and elbows.
"Tell me, Rayder... When you ran away and sold us to the demons, did you think about today?"
Devin's hoarse voice resounded in the hall like a signal, and the dozens of hooded soldiers behind him unwrapped their hoods, revealing demonic bodies of different shapes, and after receiving the demonic blood from the Abyss Lord, full of tyrannical will to destroy, they gained new powers... They have found it, a new mission!
They drew the blades behind their backs, and with unprecedented savagery and madness, they stabbed the weapons of slaughter into the bodies of their compatriots who had not yet reacted, and more demonic warriors rushed out from the entrance, apparently, under the leadership of Devon, the soldiers, who felt deeply betrayed, chose another path.
In the face of these compatriots, who had gone completely insane, the High Priest Ayesha tried to leave the place that had become a battlefield in the confrontation of the guards, but at the moment when she fled from the command hall in embarrassment, the demonic warriors who descended from the sky brandished hideous weapons and stopped the high priest's path.
"No... No... Devon... Rao..."
General Red, who was choked by Davin's neck and held in the air, begged for mercy with difficulty, but the nascent commander only watched Red dying with a gaze of enjoyment, and with the tightening of his twisted fingers one by one, Red's cheeks shone with extreme panic, and the pain of impending death made the general's body begin to sway and tremble.
It's like a candle in the wind.
"Your time is over... Reed. ”
Devin took a deep breath, his fingers increasing in force at this moment.
"Click"
A twisted corpse was thrown at his feet, and the commander of the demon warriors turned away without hesitation: "A new era of monarchs has arrived... Let the stupid nobles all die, this era will belong to the people who will be free from this moment on!"
"It's going to be... Our time!"
"Bang"
Davin grabbed the noble high priest by the hair, dragged her out of the hall of the starport, and threw her at his feet.
Ayesha's noble body smashed into the dust, the crown of rulers on her head bouncing on the ground before falling to the ground, trampled under the feet of a sturdy demonic warrior.
Under the thirty-four stairs in front of Davin, the front-line soldiers who were densely stained with demonic blood, as well as the civilians who had been told the truth, and some poor people who lived at the bottom of society and desperately wanted a great change, the soldiers' bodies were distorted, their handsome appearance was no longer there, but in their place, there was a kind of freedom that had never existed, but a new group that relied on violence to coalesce.
Although not everyone longs for the arrival of the "New Age", under the spiritual guidance of the hidden and incarnate Dread Demons and Temptation Demons who are all over the crowd, people will feel... Oh, maybe it would be nice to have a different way of living.
"My brothers, soldiers of the King's Fortress!"
Devin reached out and took the alloy sword handed over by the soldier behind him, and placed it on Ayesha's neck, he looked at everyone in front of him, and he shouted:
"In our decisive battle with the devil, you may wonder if our efforts, our sacrifices, are necessary... Let me tell you! We have been deceived, we have been betrayed!"
"At a time when the whole civilization was on the brink of peril, our rulers, the great men who rode high above us, they fled, and they threw us to the demons, and they threw all the people who were left of the whole country to the demons! they did not do everything they had sworn to do! they failed us!"
"Look around you, this world that shackles us with hellish genes and blood, the descendants of nobles have everything before they are born, and the descendants of soldiers have been determined to die on the battlefield before they are even born... Who is deciding our fate, the gods who don't exist, or these nobles who only know how to enjoy and not give?"
"Who gave them the power!"
Devon's frantic roar resounded in the sky:
"This era of injustice is over today! From now on, our destiny will be in our own hands!"
Amid the shouts of a thousand, Devin lowered his head and looked at the High Priest Ayesha, who whispered:
"Now, say your last words, my high priest. ”
Ayesha sneered and raised her fingers, her sharp voice sounded like a curse in the completely changed square:
"Rebels! the kings of the entire civilization of Sovereign will unite to strangle you... You're dead!"
The commander raised the knife in his hand, and he looked indifferently at the dying Ayesha:
"Then let them come! With a new power! It is a power that you can never imagine! The entire Sovereign civilization circle, the entire triangular galaxy, will be our hunting ground!"
"Poof"
Silver blood splattered the ground, and the moment Devon lifted Ayesha's dead head, the entire city of Kings fell into some kind of unjustified madness.
In the original palace, Seb leaned on the throne of the high priest, playing with a holy white fragment in his hand, and his dreamlike voice seemed to say to himself:
"How many of these cute gadgets are there in this star field?"
