Volume 1 The Fall of Kingship Chapter 146 Sunset
Magic is raging on this snowy field, and Russell, who has retreated early, has arrived at a safe place with his dragoons.
The dragoons kept the Empress of the Empire firmly in the middle of the ranks, and the knights stood on the hill, watching the apocalyptic scene that shook the universe in the distance, the firestorm still devouring everything around them, the flames swept up by the wind were now brighter than the sun, and everywhere there was billowing smoke, and flying sand and rocks everywhere.
Even halfway up the mountain, a few miles away from the blast, you could feel the hurricanes that were blowing continuously, and the fierce wind blew the flags of the dragoon knights that were now the only ones left.
Even the knights of the battle-hardened dragoons had never seen such a thrilling sight in their battles, a divine power that ordinary people could not do, and then nature could only possess the power of the gods.
When the Empire first designed the trebuchet, it was arrogant that it would be easy to create a machine that rivals or even surpasses the forces of nature, but now the post-apocalyptic landscape has indeed made everyone abandon such arrogant ideas.
Russell stood on a rock, he looked at this tragic scene from afar, the hair on his forehead was constantly blown by the wind, Russell sighed and said, "What a purgatory!"
Carlos walked over to Russell's side, his armor covered in dust, stained from the time he had just fled the battlefield on horseback.
Carlos had a shocked look on his face and said to himself, "Is this the power of abyss magic?
Russell looked at Carlos on the side and said solemnly: "I don't know if the empire will be able to defeat the enemy in the future, but now that the abyss and the tribal army are all wiped out, the only remaining troops on this snow field are our dragoon troops, and now everything depends on us!"
Carlos also understood what Russell meant, and his originally gloomy eyes were much brighter, he folded his hands and pondered: "Indeed, the leader of the enemy should be on the mountain above us now, and there should not be much army left under their command, we still have time to rush over, the final winner of this war must still be the empire!"
Russell heard Carlos's excited words, and sighed silently in his heart: "Hundreds of thousands of imperial legions have been wiped out, can such a victory still be considered a victory?"
Now Russell is only sad, the most important task is to climb to the top of the mountain and skull the leader of the enemy army who unleashed this cruel magic!
Russell understood that the fighter plane was fleeting, and in order to seek the Empress's opinion, he hurriedly rode to the Empress's position on Ash Ash.
Before Russell could reach the center of the procession, he saw a group of knights surrounding the place where the Empress's chariot was supposed to be, where was the Empress now?
Russell's mind suddenly thought of something bad, and he hurriedly got off his horse, ran to the knights' side, and shouted, "Get out of the way, what's the matter with the Empress?"
The knights, seeing their commander coming, hurriedly made way for him to pass.
Russell hurriedly ran into the crowd, and when he looked closely, he saw that the Empress had fallen to the ground, and Shani was crying with the Empress in her arms.
Russell's heart sank slightly, he slowly walked to Shani's side, bent down, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Shani, may I ask Her Majesty what's wrong with her?"
Shanny sobbed continuously, she looked up at Russell's eyes full of tears, she wiped away her tears vigorously, and explained to Russell in a slurred voice: "The Empress just looked back at the situation on the battlefield on the way to retreat, and saw the Imperial Legion being engulfed by fireballs.
Suddenly she vomited a mouthful of blood, and then she lost consciousness and was about to fall off her horse, but I was able to help her by my side.
I helped the fainted Empress to the ground, but when I examined the wounds, I found that the Empress's wounds had cracked again due to the jolting of the horses and the excitement of emotions, and now I could barely stop the bleeding from the wounds.
Her Majesty's wound was so great that the Physician had been killed by the magic she had just had, and she had been unconscious since then, and she could not wake up no matter how much I called her. β
Hearing this, Russell hurriedly squatted on the ground, he looked carefully at the empress in Shani's arms, the empress was pale at this time, and the wound was still oozing blood, obviously the wound collapsed under the anger and the coma caused by excessive blood loss.
Now it's troublesome, the empress, the supreme leader of the empire, has lost consciousness, and all strategies have to be decided by Russell and a few people!
Russell was just about to get up to discuss the future with his companions, when he suddenly heard Shani's exclamation, "Your Majesty, have you finally woken up and are you feeling better?"
Russell hurriedly turned around to check on the Empress's condition, and by the way, to hear what she had to say.
Gladys slowly opened her eyes, her breath was still very weak, and she asked hard, "Where is Russell now?"
Russell hurriedly approached the empress and replied, "Your Majesty, I'm here!"
Gladys looked at Russell reluctantly, coughed a few times, and said, "Russell, your previous decision was very correct, if it weren't for your quick decision, I'm afraid the legion wouldn't have even been able to retain this little manpower." If only I had a decisive character like you, the situation in the empire would not be so critical!"
Russell smiled wryly, thought about it and told the empress about the current situation, "Your Majesty, the culprit who unleashed the magic is now in front of us, according to my guess, there should not be many troops left around them, and now is our only chance to win the war, I decided to lead the dragoons to the top of the mountain and completely destroy them!"
The corners of Glady's mouth curled slightly, and she raised her hand with difficulty, pointing in the direction of the mountain and said: "Go, now it's all in this situation, even if it's to avenge the soldiers of the legion, you must not let these sinners go!"
Russell nodded and agreed, looking at the empress with sad eyes, Russell saw some clues, I'm afraid the empress won't be long after.
Suddenly, Gladys felt her body feel stronger and her spirits lifted a lot, as if all the pain in her body had disappeared.
She instructed Shani, "Lift my body up a little. β
Shani did as she was told, using her shoulders as pillows to elevate the Empress's body.
Gladyse looked with vigance at the distant sky, red in the firelight, where she had long dreamed of St. Caron and her only son, Prince Henry.
At this time, she is no longer the empress of the empire, but a weak woman, a mother who misses her children.
Gladyse clearly knew that her life had come to an end, and that she wanted to save the building as the Empress of the Empire, and although she failed and did not save the Empire, she did not regret it, because she tried her best.
What she regrets most now is that she didn't spend more time with her little Henry, and when she was about to die, she realized the importance of her family.
Gladys felt her energy drain through her body once more, and she knew her time was running out.
Gladys turned her head to look at Silly and Russell, and whispered to Russell, "Russell, I have one more thing to say to you, you heard clearly!"
Russell looked at the empress and listened to her instructions.
"It's Hengγγγγγγ β
Suddenly, Gladys's voice became so weak that even Russell, who was beside her, couldn't hear her clearly.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to tell me? I can't hear you clearly!" Russell leaned forward, trying to hear some of the Empress's voice.
When Russell saw the empress's face, Russell was shocked to find that the empress of the empire had closed her eyes and lay peacefully in Shanny's arms, falling asleep forever.
