September 17, 1017. The Norman Empire ushered in a rather important day. The eldest princess of the Norman Empire is about to give birth, and the empire is about to welcome its heir.

In the past six months, the Norman Empire's swords and guns have been put into storage, and horses have been put in Nanshan. There has never been a war. Whether it's Europa, the heartland, or North Africa, the Near East, in the outlying areas. All are safe. The peoples were either accustomed to the rule of the Norman Empire, or they were intimidated by the power of the Norman Empire. Completely unable to produce the mood of resistance.

Thus, nowadays. In addition to the colonies in Central America, there were occasional riots by barbaric natives. Or in addition to waging war to expand the colony. The rest of the empire is peaceful. The emperor sent each of his four marshals out. Defend the Quartet. to strengthen the Norman Empire.

With the exception of Marshal Walter, the situation in the overseas provinces was special, so he did not send a strong man to sit in the town. Egir kept the marshal by his side and presided over the entire defense of the capital city of Krakow, as well as the Polish provinces. It's kind of compensation for this subordinate. Speaking of which, Krakow belonged to the capital, and Marshal Walter was half a rank above his three colleagues in rank. So he has nothing to complain about.

Just two months. The three marshals, who were separated from each other, received orders from the Norman Emperor. Return to the capital Krakow to report on work. At the same time, Aurora's due date is approaching. The emperor prepares a feast for his courtiers. That's why I called a few of them. It's not just these marshals. In fact, except for the three overseas provinces that are too far away to reach. The remaining twenty-three provincial high-ranking officials, generals in the army, and big nobles and merchants. They all received an invitation from the emperor. Just waiting for the prince to come, he will hold a feast and celebrate with the whole world.

Regardless of the rest. Walter and the other four marshals were the people the emperor relied on the most. This time the emperor set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the four marshals. Three rounds of drinking. Egil raised his glass and said, "If it is peaceful today, the river is clear and the sea is clear." The empire is steaming. You've worked hard. Drink this cup to the fullest. The four marshals hurriedly stood up and thanked him. The monarch and the ministers were enjoying themselves - at this moment, I suddenly saw a maid hurrying over. When he came to Egil, he said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is about to give birth. ”

When Egil heard this, he naturally didn't dare to delay. and the four marshals apologized. Then he followed the maid and walked briskly towards the dormitory. And Sonia followed him. The group arrived at the entrance of Aurora's dormitory. Then I heard a heart-rending cry from within. Listening to Egil is a heart-wrenching. Look at the door again, where Queen Artoria is standing. Seems a little absent-minded. Seeing Egil coming, he nodded. Didn't speak.

I don't know why Artoria, who usually has a bad relationship with Aurora, came here. But now is clearly not the time to talk about such a thing. Egil immediately found the key and saw Hippocrates, who had been playing soy sauce for a long time recently. He asked the royal doctor, "What is the situation now?"

Hippocrates replied, "Not too good. Your Majesty...... In fact, the eldest princess seems to have a bit of a difficult birth...... Now Princess Nightingale is taking care of it inside. ”

"If she makes a difference, I'll kill you!" said Egil, ready to break inside. However, the door has just been opened. And he saw him standing at the door. Nightingale, who also maintained the posture of opening the door.

Her complexion looked very ugly. And the gloves he was wearing were all covered in blood. This made Egil's heart almost sink to the bottom.

"Your Majesty...... Unfortunately, please choose, do you want a child or an eldest princess?" asked Nightingale, with a gloomy face.

"Of course it's Aurora! If the child is gone, she can be reborn! If you don't say it, you can't live. The emperor has already said this to more than one woman, right?

Nightingale sighed imperceptibly. Then he walked in again. After that, the screams became louder. After that, the Emperor seemed to hear the cry of a baby - he was surprised and angry at the same time, didn't he say that he wanted Aurora?!

At this moment, another maid ran over and said to Egil, "Your Majesty, you are born, and you are a little princess!"

However, Egil didn't seem to care about this, and instead asked, "What about Aurora?!What happened to the eldest princess?!"

"......" The maid bowed her head and said no more.

Egil shoved her away. Rushed in. I saw a group of maids cutting the umbilical cord of a baby. She was then wrapped in swaddling clothes. It's just that Egil doesn't care about this at all. All he saw was Aurora lying on the bed, completely silent. Then there was a heart-rending scream - aa!!!!a

Immediately afterward, Egil felt that it was dark in front of him, and he could not see anything. And at the last moment of the falling, sentient moment, he heard another cry. That's right...... She said before...... Pregnant with twins.

With one last thought, Egil fell to the ground.

Artoria walked in, while Sonia walked out. The two of them looked at each other, tacitly. At this time, I heard a maid screaming: "Your Majesty's breathing has stopped!"

Artoria snorted, drew her sword, and slashed the screaming maid's head. Arterial blood spurts old high. The maids were in complete confusion at this moment. One by one, they cried and fled in panic. Artoria didn't care about them, but walked over to Egil. Reaching out, he pinched his face - he couldn't feel his breath, his pulse or his heartbeat at all. The man is really dead...... In the blink of an eye, only the cries of two babies remained in this dormitory. Artoria's face turned pale and he staggered, and when he heard the voice, the murderous intent in his eyes flashed. She walked over. The two babies were placed in the cribs that had been prepared long ago. Side by side covered with a small quilt and crying loudly. She drew her sword, but didn't do it. Then he turned and left.

There was a "pop" sound behind her, but it was the sound of Nightingale, who had a dagger in her heart, falling to the ground. Sonia pierced her heart before leaving.

Sonya, who had acted first, had already returned to her room at this moment. Because of Egil's death, her emotions have become extremely unstable, killing many unfortunate fools along the way. Such actions have made the Grand Palace in Krakow even more chaotic.

By the way, out of Egil's bad taste, Sonia and Maria's room are together.

Sonya, covered in blood, opened the door and saw Maria, who had nothing to do reading there. When she heard the sound, Maria looked up. I saw her afterward.

"What's going on?!" Maria asked worriedly, seeing that something was wrong with Sonya.

"Master, dead. Sonia said in as cold a voice as cold as possible.

"What?!Are you kidding?!" Maria had thought of a myriad of possible castes. But I didn't think of this at all. Hearing Sonia say this, she suddenly became excited: "You lied to me, right?!"

"Nope. Sonia continued.

"......" Listening to Sonya's tone, Maria could tell that she was indeed not lying to herself. And according to her understanding, Sonia is not someone who would make such jokes.

She slumped down on the bed. The brain went blank. Egil is dead. So what should I do in the future? Without this omnipotent master, what should I do if I change myself?!

"It's good to die. Sonia stepped forward and slit Maria's neck as she said so.

"That's right...... It's good to be dead...... Really...... What a good answer...... "Before she died, Maria seemed to have a nervous breakdown. She trembled as she said, "Master...... I'm so cold...... Hold me ......"

Sonia moved on. I came to the room that belonged to Aien. Again, out of Egil's bad taste. This room is decorated in a colorful way, like a playground for small children. And Aine is rolling a ball of yarn at this moment. When Sonia came, she took a look at it, and then went back playing. It's just that she doesn't have as much fun as she usually does. As if absent-minded. Maybe it was the beast's instincts that made her feel that something was wrong?

For this guy with extremely strong combat effectiveness, Sonia doesn't want to fight with her. She must save her strength in order to wait for the final showdown.

Then, since you can't fight hard, you have to outwit it. Fortunately, although Aien's skills are good, his IQ is not very high. Sonia had been prepared to deal with her.

After a few minutes, Aien, who was rolling on the ground in pain, finally stopped moving. Beside her, a deadly poison that exudes a tempting sweetness.

Meanwhile.

Artoria came to Joan of Arc's room. At this time, Joan of Arc was still praying. Even after Artoria walked in, she didn't stop.

"Egil is dead. Artoria said to her.

"I see, you can kill me. So that I can go and accompany him. After hearing the news, Joan of Arc didn't seem surprised at all. There is even a hint of relief hidden in the tone.

"Hmm. Artoria nodded, and from behind, pierced Joan of Arc's heart with her sword.

Then there is Basumi, and at this time, the news of Egil's death and the civil strife in the palace gradually spread. Unlike the others, Asami had no intention of dying for Egil. In fact, her relationship with Egil is not very deep.

Asami was afraid of him. On the night Egil annihilated her, the fire of Jerusalem was vividly remembered. At that time, she saw Egil as the devil. Although later, she had a higher and higher opinion of Egil. But when it comes to feelings, there is still not much progress. She always felt that Egil had taken a fancy to her because she liked her body. And every time Egil and her **, he prefers to use a rougher way. This also made Asami even more afraid.

Upon learning of the news, Asami's first reaction was to flee - flee the palace and return to her army. She also had command of the Praetorian Guard's musketeers. As long as he has military power in his hands, he will have more chances to survive in the turbulent times after Egil's death - it's just that Basumi's luck is not very good. As she ran around a corner, she met Artoria.

"Bama dollar handsome. What are you going to do?" Artoria was covered in blood, and she didn't know how many people she had killed along the way. Ba Asami was terrified to watch.

"I-" After saying this word, Asami did not hesitate. Raising his musket, he took aim at Artoria and pulled the trigger – but something surprising happened. Artoria cut the projectile in half with a single sword, then ran forward quickly, and with another sword, sliced Asami's head off. After that, as if he was still angry, he chopped and chopped again and again, dividing Ba Mamei's body.

Immediately after that, Princia. Despite his grief, the Centaur Lord felt the need to continue his life. Because her people still need her - Ayujie Khan is dead. Next, the centaur race needs a new leader to survive the chaos that follows.

"Get out of the way!" Princia shouted at Artoria with her spear in hand, but she was met with a sarcastic sneer. So she put it another way: "The woman from the Eastern Romans is about to flee." She's so much more dangerous than me!Don't you know?!"

However, the answer to her was still a sneer.

Princia was finally furious. She roared and charged at Artoria—but only in one turn, Artoria dodged sideways as she mounted her spear, and slashed her diagonally with her greatsword at Princia. Large strands of blood and internal organs splattered, making the smell of blood on Artoria's body even stronger.

"Of course Hongu knows. But not for a while...... Because it only takes one turn to solve you. ”

If it is said that Asami is because of fear and the will to survive. And Printhia is for her people. Lilianu, then, is because of her ambition. The Norman emperor died, there was no successor, and the world was in chaos. With her identity, abilities. As long as you quickly grasp a part of the military power. Then it is impossible to say that it is possible to inherit this vast empire. Even if you take a step back, it's good to divide one side.

When she thought about it, her ** and ambition for power diluted her sadness over Egil's death. It made her even more excited. Maybe after a few more decades like this, when she really becomes famous. Her feelings for Egil will probably be like a work of art, and she will take it out and miss it. But definitely not now – though, alas, she doesn't have a chance.

Artoria was a lot faster than she was. She stood at the door of the Grand Palace in Krakow, and at this moment she didn't know how many people she had killed and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. And on the ground, in addition to the corpses, there are all kinds of treasures that they want to steal while they are in chaos.

"Damn—" Lilianu caught a glimpse of Artoria, turning to run. She wouldn't dare fight such a monster. However, at the same time she discovers Artoria, Artoria discovers her at the same time. And chased after it at great speed. Just chase and run away. The distance between the two sides kept closing, and Lilianu only felt terrified.

"You can't run any further—" Seeing that she had reached a corner, Lilianu's mind moved, and when she turned around, she quickly stopped, turned and drew her sword, and slashed at Artoria's neck. This one turn restricts the viewing angle. And Lilianu did it with all her might, and the speed and strength were close to perfect! The Eastern Roman emperor was confident that this move was enough to cut gold and jade. It was a sudden, and it can be said that it was nirvana-only - it's strange.

Artoria turned the corner and saw a long sword slashing at the head and face, but instead of panicking, he reached out and grasped the blade with one hand. Then with a "click", Lilianu's sword was broken in two. Looking at her palms again, there were no scars at all. Totally fine.

"My God—" Lilianu regretted in her heart, and was about to turn to run away, when she saw Artoria throw her half-severed sword at her. Straight through her neck. Lilianu clutched her wounds, but the blood continued to flow out. Lilianu fell.

Aurora, Nightingale, Maria, Ain, Joan of Arc, Basumi, Princia, Lilianu...... So far, there are only two princesses left in Egil.

The final battle took place in Aurora's bedchamber, where the body of the Norman Emperor remained.

And at this time, the news of the chaos in the palace had spread. The four marshals of the Norman Empire sprang into action at once. Among them, Field Marshal Walter was in charge of the defense of Krakow. When this kind of thing happened, the marshal's face was already blue with anger. And when they heard that the emperor was dead. is even more beating his chest and crying bitterly.

"The lord is dead. But there is still the young master! The most urgent thing is to find the young master and protect it. The Norman Empire must not lose two emperors in one day!"

In the end, Marshal Walter understood things better. One sentence made several colleagues understand. Immediately afterwards, they went their separate ways - Marshal Walter and Marshal Farr led their troops to the palace to serve the king. Marshal Ers led his troops to inspect the city and suppress the situation. Marshal Winde went to close the city gates and imposed martial law!

After the task was assigned, the marshals went their separate ways. At the same time, in Aurora's dormitory, the battle is raging!

"Kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you!!"

"Egil (the master) belongs to Hongu (me)!"

Whether it's Artoria or Sonya, this moment has become extremely crazy. They hate each other and hate each other. They both want to kill each other. This hatred has increased infinitely over time. It was only at this moment that Egil fully erupted after his death. With the smell of endless destruction, they pounced on each other.

Sonia's strength is her speed, while Artoria's strength is strength. These two people also tried their best to give full play to their advantages.

I saw that the sword qi in the room was vertical and horizontal, and it was the wind pressure brought by Artoria swinging the big sword. The ghost of Nasensen is a hallucination caused by Sonya's movements too fast. Both sides did their best. The ultimate in speed and power. This extreme and extreme competition, but no one can help anyone for a while.

Sonia saw that she couldn't attack for a long time, and she was a little anxious. Her physical strength is not comparable to that of Artoria, and she is not durable to fight. Maintaining such speed and maneuver is too much physical strength. If you don't get the result after a while, you won't want to win this battle!

That's it. Sonia snorted coldly. Determined to desperately ignore the defense, he put all his energy on the offense. For a moment, Sonya's offensive was like a raging storm, and all kinds of throwing knives, darts, hidden arrows, thunderbolts, and fire bombs were thrown towards Artoria without any money. The two daggers in his hands were like Bibi fangs. Just staring at Artoria's neck. Moves kill you.

These hidden weapons and daggers are either green or blue in the light of the fire. At first glance, you can tell that it has been quenched with poison. If you hit the injury, it's over. But Artoria is full of cursed armor, and it is very strong. One Sonya's power simply can't penetrate it. So she didn't care about Sonya's attack. Just be careful to guard your bare face and neck. The rest of the place was left to Sonya's attack, and was not guarded.

In this way, despite Sonya's desperate attack, she was helpless against Artoria. And her speed is starting to slow down.

"It's over!" Altoria thought excitedly, sensing Sonya's exhaustion. At the same time, the attack was intensified, and in an instant, the tide of battle was reversed. Artoria, who had been suppressed, took over the battlefield in turn!

However, at the same time, Sonia snorted equally coldly in her heart: "Her defense has dropped, right now!"

Sonia was deliberately knocked on the shoulder by Artoria's sword spine. I felt a sharp pain, and my shoulder blade was almost shattered. The body was also knocked away by a huge force!

Seeing that Sonia had made such a mistake, Artoria yelled excitedly and chased after her to prepare for her - and then, the mutation protruded! With her left hand, which had injured her shoulder, Sonia pulled out a glittering silver armor-piercing cone from her cuff. Then he used the power of Artoria's charge to stab Altoria in the lower abdomen with all his might!

Artoria was startled and tried to turn away. However, Sonia was so calculating, how could she easily get rid of it?! The armor-piercing cone eventually pierced Artoria's armor and cut a little scar - if that was all, then it wasn't a big deal for Artoria, who was too physically good. It's just that the armor-piercing cone, like Sonya's other weapons, is smeared with poison...... Artoria only felt that she was unconscious in her lower limbs from the abdomen down. As soon as his body went limp, he fell to the ground. I couldn't stop shivering. The sword of victory and oath fell to the ground.

"In the end, I won......" After this battle, Sonia also consumed a lot of physical strength, and she was extremely tired physically and mentally. Still, she smiled happily and irrepressibly. Carrying a dagger, he stepped forward to further the results of Artoria.

One step, two steps, three steps—Artoria's face fluttered as she got closer, and her expression of despair became more pronounced. And Sonya's heart was also very happy—only at this moment, Artoria's desperate expression suddenly disappeared, and turned into a crazy and weird smile—"Danger!" Sonia was about to dodge, but the distance between her and Artoria was too close for her to dodge - when she saw Artoria raise her left hand, and a hidden arrow shot out of her cuff, the arrow was blue. It turned out to be exactly the same style as the hidden weapon that Sonya used before!

The Hidden Arrow hit Sonya's eyebrow directly. She fell reluctantly. I couldn't believe that the always arrogant Norman queen would kill people with the same indiscriminate means as her...... "Finally...... Or am I going to win......" Artoria said as she struggled to crawl forward, the effects of the toxin becoming more and more apparent, her eyes blurred and she could barely see the road ahead. With the last of her strength, she crawled in front of Egil's body, collapsed on top of it, and then put her arms around Egil's neck and kissed him on the already cold side of his face.

"To the end...... You...... It's finally me alone......" Artoria's lips closed together, but she didn't make a sound at all. Then she died satisfied. More than a decade later, at least at the last minute, Egil was on her own...... More than an hour passed. Once the authorities had stabilized, Farr and Walter stormed the palace with their troops. Everywhere I went, it was a mess. Especially after seeing the corpses of Lilianu, Printhia and Baasami. The hearts of these two generals are getting colder and colder. They ordered the soldiers to search frantically. In the end, I finally found a few, the palace maids who had witnessed Aurora's death in childbirth and Artoria's rampage. And learned that the location of the accident was in Aurora's dormitory.

The two marshals did not dare to slack off, while ordering the soldiers to bury the dead. While leading the rest of the troops, he rushed towards Aurora's dormitory. As a result, several corpses came into view. Whether it's Egil, Aurora, Sonia, Artoria, Nightingale...... The bodies of these people were already cold.

"Lord, !!" The two marshals couldn't help but weep bitterly again when they saw Egil's body. And they cried. The prince and princess, who had been hanging for a while, also cried. The two marshals immediately paved over. I saw that the prince and princess in the crib were all in good condition. That's when I was relieved. If you have found a treasure in your arms.

"The Lord has passed away, and we must do our best in the future. Assist the young lord!, absolutely preserve the rule of the Empire!" said Marshal Walter to Field Marshal Farr. And Marshal Farr nodded like a chicken.

In this way, under the pressure of the four marshals and Egil's loyal dogs, the chaos in the palace was concealed. Insiders were killed. It was announced that the emperor died of a violent illness, and the queen and the imperial concubine were in pain and committed suicide. Then he set up a young lord to ascend the throne as the second emperor of the Norman Empire, Egil II. His eldest sister was Aurora II. The Governor of the remaining twenty-three provinces, the Counsellor of the Royal Council. And all the people who were loyal to Egil. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs did his best to assist the young master. Despite the difficult situation, the stability of the Norman Empire was maintained......
