Chapter Fifty-Six: Resolutely Die
Baroque is dead! Susan couldn't believe the news was true. Even in the face of the demigod Skeletron, she looked hysterical: "You lie, Baroque will not die, he is also a demigod, even if he falls into the sea of thunder you said, there must be a way to get out safely." β
"Archduchess Susan, what you said is right, if there are no other obstacles, Baroque will not be easily harmed by the Thunder Sea. But you may not know that at the moment of the return of the Abyss Continent, the Thunder Sea in the outer sea underwent a huge change, and the thunder riot inside was a hundred times more than a hundred. At that time, in the face of violent thunder, not to mention demigods, even true gods could not be spared. β
"It's you, it's you!" Susan's beautiful face distorted a little, and she shouted angrily, "How could Baroque appear in the open sea, and how could he fall into the sea of thunder? It must be your demon's conspiracy, it was you who killed him." ............β
Skeletron let out a 'giggle' laugh and responded in a low voice, "If you think so, it's up to you." But it is so, everything has already happened. You should not now dwell on the question of life and death in the Baroque, but seriously consider the current situation. The army of the Apocalypse Holy See has been overwhelmingly overwhelmed, and it is impossible for you to have any power to resist. We are the only ones who can save you. β
Susan's emotions were already a little out of control, but Schaumberg stopped her in time and said to Skeletron, "Your Excellency, Dear Demigod, we understand your intentions. But we always need to be given some time to think about it before we can make the right choice. β
"Yes, yes, but I need to remind you that you don't have much time. If the Holy See army arrives here in your royal city, even if I lend a helping hand, it will not be possible to completely recover the heavy losses you have suffered. Skeletron didn't push too much, and after leaving a few words, the figure floated away.
Susan sat there with her eyes distracted, weeping silently, her mind empty. I don't know what I should do next! Schaumberg had no idea, and the two of them were silent for a long time before Susan said abruptly: "Schaumberg, no matter what choice you make now." I can understand both. In this situation, you need to think about the survival of the kingdom of Paddington, listen to me, our alliance can be dissolved. I'll leave Paddington with my men, and all the orcs. Return to Lufthansa and return to the Kundu Maya Mountains. Whether you surrender to the Apocalypse or choose to join the demonic forces, I don't think Baroque will blame you even if he leaves this world. You are a rare person, and Baroque has always been honored to be your friend. β
Schumberg heard the meaning of Susan's words, and he couldn't help but persuade: "What if...... If something really happened to the Baroque, you should choose a side with me. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the children of the Baroque, do you want to expose your three children to the terrifying demigods? You can't even escape, and you don't have any capital to fight at all. β
"It's not up to me to decide. Susan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's Celine, Baroque cares most about Celine, and that's why Celine's decision is the most important, those brothers in the Baroque will only obey Celine's orders." If she is unwilling to submit to any power, the Baroque brothers will defend their mother and son with their lives until everyone dies in battle. I know Celine's character too well, she is stubborn, and no one can change her decision. β
"There's always a way, Celine doesn't want something to happen to the children of the Baroque. Schomberg said, groaning slightly. Suddenly whispered: "Even if ...... Even if Celine is mad because of the misfortune of the Baroque, then we can do something else. Like what...... We can hide our three children from Celine and send them to the most loyal and reliable people to raise them off the beaten track. This at least guarantees that the blood of the Baroque will not be severed. β
Susan's eyes lit up. I was very impressed by Schaumberg's proposal. Schaumberg struck while the iron was hot and said: "There is not much time left for us, and if we decide, we need to act immediately." β............
Sure enough, as Susan expected, when she tentatively asked Celine if she should choose the devil or the Holy See to surrender. Celine showed an extremely stubborn side............ Even at this moment, Celine realized that something was wrong with the Baroque. But still almost paranoid and resolutely disagreed, she just insisted: "No matter what happens, Baroque will definitely return, and we can't go to any of his enemies." I would rather die than betray him, and as for his children, if they are to pray for survival at the cost of betraying their father, then I would rather them die honorably with me. In the face of Celine, who showed such a crazy side, both Hilda and Yvonne were silent, and they didn't dare to mention any objections.
There was no way to do this, Susan immediately stopped the topic, but at dinner, she secretly put drugs in Celine's diet, which quickly made Celine fall into a coma.
The more than twenty beastly armored warriors that Baroque arranged for the protection of the women were all gathered by Susan and protected by them. He then entrusted his children, Norero, to Hilda and Yvonne, who fled the place overnight with the three children of the Baroque. The Duchy of Hanseasa is no longer safe, and the Kundu Mayan foothills have fallen into war, and the only place to go for the time being is the Valley of Miracles in the northern tundra!
The papal demigods did not have much time left for the Paddington Alliance to choose, and soon, the Chosen Warriors were once again in the skies of Padya. He commanded the Paddington League to make a choice at once, live or die!
The army of the Holy See has already reached the bottom of the cityββββ the walls have been completely destroyed, and there is no longer a city under the city. Through the ruins, the people of Padea City were horrified to see the overwhelming army of black pressure outside. Schaumberg had no choice but to send an emissary with the scepter of King Paddington to the commander of the Holy See army as a sign of submission. Susan had already issued an order to the Duchy of Hanseas, telling them to give up resistance and not to make unnecessary sacrifices. The overall situation is irretrievable, they lost, and they lost completely!
Perhaps only the Baroque tribes still fought desperately under the command of Tulayan, but it did not help.
Celine woke up, Susan was beside her, said everything she had done indifferently, and then said flatly: "Celine, even if you are angry, it is useless, the children have long followed Hilda and Yvonne away." Maybe you think I'm going to betray the Baroque again, but I'm here to be with you, and you're going to die...... I'm going to die, too!"
Celine's anger dissipated in an instant, her mouth trembled a few times, and finally she didn't say anything. Slowly stood up and walked out of the room. Standing quietly for a while, he asked Susan without looking back, "Sister, is Baroque dead?"
Susan was silent for a moment before replying sadly, "Yesterday, I met with Schaumberg and the demigod Shadow Skeletron of the demonic forces, and learned the bad news from him, Baroque...... It's gone!"
Celine seemed to be relieved all of a sudden, smiled lightly, and said softly: "The Apocalypse Holy See is the sworn enemy of the Baroque, and I will not bow to them even if I die." And the demonic forces conveyed the bad news of the Baroque, obviously the death of the Baroque, they can't get out of the relationship, and I can't surrender to them. It seems that there is only one way left for me. Sister, do you really want to be with me?"
Susan took Celine's hand: "The children Hilda will take care of it, my daughter Claire has grown up, as long as the Duchy of Hansa gives up resistance, under the protection of General Yuele Eagle, she will not be harmed." This............ I don't want to betray the Baroque again. β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they walked out with arms in their arms. At this time, the remnants of the army retreating from the front line, less than 20,000 soldiers mixed with orcs and humans, had already assembled under the city. A large number of commanders were killed, Muru and Valinor were captured, and General Hesse was left alone to command the last army. They swore allegiance to the Baroque and would rather die in battle than surrender.
Susan and Celine changed into armor and swords in their hands and joined the formation. They didn't do much, they came to die together, but they still boosted morale.
Unexpectedly, at such a moment, the second prince of Audria Bukred actually led hundreds of loyal guards to join this kind of team. He changed his greed for life and fear of death in the past, became calm, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Baroque to take me in and shelter, I would have died a long time ago, and now, it's time for me to make some different choices." β
Under the gaze of more than 100,000 citizens of Padea City behind him, the 20,000 soldiers regarded death as if they were at home, and strode towards the overwhelming Holy See army opposite, and they walked resolutely.
The Holy See-Commander, a cardinal, looked indifferently at the group of people who had come to die, obeyed the orders of the Chosen Warriors, and waved his hand............ Slaughter the offenders!(To be continued.) )
