Chapter 149: Back to the city

Major Isaac was the commander of the army that intercepted the Queen's return to the city, and he couldn't help but think back to the battle that had destroyed the Abyss Mage as he looked at the meteorite that charged his commanding formation.

At that time, he was still a lieutenant colonel, and he thought that he could be promoted to a general by virtue of his military exploits, but for some reason he made the eldest prince unhappy, and his rank was not only not promoted but demoted by one level.

Tonight, the eldest prince is going to launch a coup d'Γ©tat and officially ascend the throne as the emperor of the Golden Shield Empire. The task he received was to set up defenses on the north side of the imperial capital to prevent the queen from returning to the palace.

originally thought that it was impossible for the queen to rush out of the interception of the northern army, and she was left out in the cold and had no chance to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the eldest prince, and it is estimated that she will work in the position of major until she retires in the future.

But I never expected that the queen would appear so close to the imperial capital.

Looks like Lady Luck is still on my side!

Major Isaac rode on his horse, his saber in hand, at the forefront of the formation. Musketeers and crossbowmen had already started firing, but this level of ranged attack simply couldn't penetrate the magic shield they had unleashed.

The dragon-like creatures summoned by the meteorite launched an attack on the airship in the air, and the god-like oppression of Long Wei and the meteorite made some soldiers waver.

After all, it was the Empress of the Empire who intercepted her, and although the soldiers listened to orders, they still couldn't let go of their awe of the Imperial Family.

"Spiritual Inspiration Magic Ready!"

Major Isaac, who sensed the change in the morale of the army, did not order the magic projectile cannon to fire attack magic at Meteor and the queen, but prepared to stabilize the morale of the army with spiritual magic.

Alchemy cannonballs were fired forward from the rear, exploding as they flew above the formation. The waterfall of magic particles sprinkled down, the soldier's spirit was concentrated at a high level, the will to fight overcame the cranky thoughts, and the wavering military spirit was immediately strengthened.

"War Bloody Magic Preparation!"

Another round of war magic was thrown, and the soldiers' bodies glowed red. The high fighting spirit and murderous spirit are stimulated, and the pain and fatigue are greatly reduced.

The shouts erupted from their throats unconsciously, and fighting and killing became the only thoughts of the soldiers at this time.

The murderous resonance formed a wave of qi that pushed forward, rolling up the smoke and dust on the ground, and pressing against the charging meteorite.

Luke faced a well-prepared army and charged at a steady pace. This situation is what he has always wanted to avoid, a well-trained, multi-class team, and enough magic blessings, if there are a few powerful warriors hiding in it, it is really not possible for him to rush through.

Fortunately, the focus of the eldest prince Fania is in the palace, and he and Empress Christina are fast enough. There are not too many special strengthened soldiers in the intercepted army, so it should be too late to transfer strong units over.

There is a fight!

Luke glanced at the air, gluttonous weaving between the three airships, there were many mages on the airships, and the magic of confusion was intertwined in the air. With his agile flight and decent magic resistance, Gluttony is quite capable of dealing with three airships, and even if he can't sink them all in a short time, he can entangle them so that they can't coordinate ground attacks.

Feeling Luke's encouragement, the excited gluttonous man turned around, and after avoiding the continuous magic, he took another breath of dragon breath at the airship that had been heavily damaged.

The airship's steam bladder was badly damaged, and it dropped uncontrollably, and the gluttony flipped in the air and bit in the back for continuous attacks.

Luke turned his head to look at Queen Christina who was following behind him, and saw that the queen was also looking at him. Bullets and arrows sparked on her unfolded shield, but they couldn't hide the sparkle in her eyes.

This favorability is a bit fast!

Luke returned his mind to the battle, and he turned his head to see the shield wall in front of him, spears sticking out from behind the shield. There are also alchemy cannonballs fired from the back, and the target is himself......

The light activated by the magic shines through the lines of the alchemy cannonball, and the power squeezed inside is about to be released.

Luke ignored the alchemy cannonballs that were about to fall, he stabbed out the dragon lance, and a fiery dragon rushed out in lightning and thunder, slamming headlong into the shield wall in front of him.

At this time, a string of tiny flying objects flew diagonally from the sky. They hit the alchemy cannonballs with the same precision as interceptor missiles. The alchemical cannonball detonated in the air, and the chaotic and turbulent magical energy formed a space-distorted black hole at the location of the explosion.

Immediately afterwards, four girls of different hairstyles and colors appeared in the air, carrying auxiliary flight airbags and surrounded by several steel needles with a length of 20 centimeters.

One war machine jumped high and landed heavily into the army, slashing another war machine through the middle.

The pilot of the war machine was a pink girl with two ponytails, and she waved her hand at Luke, who was rushing into the formation: "Boss Meteor, Miss Sunny Sky asked us to come to support, it seems that our beautiful girl boiling team came in time." ”

Appearing just in time was Sandpaper and her sisters, the war machine boiling and simply waved to Luke as a greeting, and then stepped forward with his legs and a long knife to clear the way.

Kestrels, blue doves, egrets, and gray geese fly at low altitudes, using their strong mental power and perception to suppress soldiers on the ground with medium-range attacks.

The battle mode of the Bishoujo Boiling Squad has taken shape. The boiling of war machinery is the offensive and defensive core of the squad, and the sandpaper serves as the center of the squad, using the telepathy that exists between the sisters to build a network of perceptions shared by the squad.

The kestrels, blue doves, egrets, and gray geese serve as the mobile force of the squad, making up for the shortcomings of the boiling war machinery, allowing him to unleash the most violent side without any scruples.

Even the beautiful girl boiling squad that has a headache against the clear sky has begun to appear, and the war machinery that kills and kills is boiling as if it has entered a no-man's land.

Let Luke instead have nothing to do.

In the military formation, the boiling broadsword of the war machinery flew and sank with great force, and all the places that passed were cut in two. The energy cannon on his shoulder fired intermittently, each cannon blasting out columns of smoke that skyrocketed, kicking off pieces of scattered limbs.

The beautiful girls are scattered under the command of sandpaper, or scattered defense, or concentrated attack, like a fully automatic floating cannon that boils with war.

This elite unit of the City Garrison Legion, where has I seen such an integrated combat team, and it was killed and dispersed in a blink of an eye.

Luke didn't chase them either, letting the war boil and make the way for him, and he and Queen Christina continued to sprint towards the city of St. Lun.

A dragon roared in the air, and Gluttony swooped down on Luke. As it fell, its body shrank rapidly, and it rushed into the back of Luke's hand in a daze.

The three airships above fell to the ground in the distance with a large fire, and the western sky was set in the west, and the burning clouds were as bright as blood.

Luke, Queen Christina, and the Pretty Girl Boiling Squad disappear into the falling night.

The battlefield that had just been fought became quiet.

Major Isaac was crushed under the corpse of a horse, he looked up at the rising moon, his eyes hollow, and his chest was a bloody hole.

The snow fell again after a day's stop, and soon the corpses were all over the ground under the snowdrifts.

In the city of Saint-Lun, the city garrison regiment, which suddenly entered the city in the evening, braved the wind and snow to occupy the streets and city government facilities, and declared a curfew. No one is allowed to go out, and the city sheriff is going home on vacation.

As if knowing that this was going to happen, all departments in the city were surprisingly cooperative, and there were hardly any conflicts during the entire handover process.

Only the neighborhood near Rose Manor was the scene of not too serious an engagement. The Imperial Intelligence Bureau prevented the City Garrison from taking over, and the City Garrison did not launch a strong attack, and the two sides formed a standoff in a certain area.

In the Rose Manor, the eldest princess Agatha sat in her study, listening to the news brought by the secret agent.

Most of the palace officials, as well as the cabinet, made it clear that they would not make a bird. If the eldest prince succeeds in ascending the throne, they will meet the new emperor tomorrow.

If the eldest prince fails, it is his own death.

The empire was also the empire of the great Augustine the Great.

The law does not blame the public, everyone will be silent tomorrow, and they will do whatever they should do.

"Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, the City Garrison Legion has surrounded the Imperial Palace. The royal knights and palace guards did not stop them, and they all withdrew into the palace.

The Knight of Millscom was guarding outside His Majesty's bedchamber, and no news of His Majesty came out. ”

"His Royal Highness the Grand Prince left the Silver Manor and rode towards the palace under the escort of the guards."

"His Royal Highness the Grand Prince arrived at the Imperial Palace, and all the ministers and nobles who supported the Great Prince gathered outside the Imperial Palace."

"The eldest prince asked the palace to lift the barrier, but there was no response from the palace."

"The eldest prince once again asked the palace to lift the enchantment, but there was no response from the palace."

"For the third time, the eldest prince asked for the enchantment to be lifted and expressed threats...... The palace barrier is being lifted! ”

The palace barrier was lifted, and the eldest prince Fania could lead the army to drive straight into the palace, and those people in Millscom couldn't stop him at all.

Is the Imperial Intelligence Agency going to be dispatched?

At this time, a large number of imperial spies had gathered in the Rose Manor, and as soon as the eldest princess gave the order, they rushed out to attack the city garrison corps that was launching a coup d'Γ©tat.

The personal female officer suggested: "Your Highness, if you don't act now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." ”

Agatha glanced at the door of the study, which she had ordered; Meteorites can come in without notice.

However, there is no news of the meteorite yet.

"Command ......"

Agatha, who could not wait any longer, was about to give the order when the door was suddenly pushed open. Luke walked in, took off his hat and tossed it to the female officer, and asked, "Where is Fania now?" ”

"The news just came that he was outside the palace, and the palace had lifted the enchantment." Agatha immediately replied when she saw Luke's expression, and then saw Empress Christina coming in behind the meteorite, so she saluted: "Your Royal Highness, welcome back to the imperial capital." ”

Empress Christina returned the salute to Agatha: "We arrived just in time. ”

Dry mouth Luke took a big sip of a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and said, "No need to say a pleasantry. Fania needs the City Guards to control the entire palace before entering, and we still have time...... Irrelevant personnel, please get out! ”

Agatha nodded, and the female officer left the room with her servants and guards, closing the door.

Luke found a chair and sat down, and said to Agatha, "Miss Weathersky must have told Your Highness about who will rule this empire tomorrow." ”

Agatha looked at Empress Christina and said to Luke, "But Miss Sunny Sky didn't explain, I want to know what happened to my father." ”

"It's fitting for me to tell you this......" Luke said to Agatha the reason why Augustine the Great had not seen outsiders for so long, "...... Of course, I hope that Your Majesty can complete the body enhancement safely, but it has not been completed until now, indicating that the success rate is extremely low, or it has failed.

We may have to confront a heroic creature who claims to be Augustine. ”

This message was indeed too powerful for Agatha.

"As a daughter, I can accept that my father is a heroic spirit. But a Heroic Emperor is definitely a disaster for the Empire. ”

Luke nodded and said, "No matter how you whitewash it, the Heroic Spirit is a vassal of the Angelic Civilization. I'm afraid that no one in the empire can accept that the empire is a vassal state of the angelic civilization. ”

"So you want to elect our Empress as the new Emperor of the Empire...... Do you think the court ministers and the nobles of the empire will agree? ”

"Of course they won't agree." Luke said, "If we can stop Fania tonight...... Emperor Augustine would issue a directive, and the Empress would continue to oversee state affairs.

As long as you and Knight Millscom say that this order was given by His Majesty himself, then it is only natural for Her Royal Highness to return to the palace to continue to supervise the country. ”

Agatha looked at Luke and Queen Christina, and after a moment asked, "Why her?" ”

Luke said: "Since the founding of the Empire, the Kingdom of Lusian has been very active in intermarrying with the Augustinian royal family. In history, there have been a total of sixteen princesses of the Kingdom of Lusien who have married the princes of the Golden Shield Empire, and five of them are imperial queens.

Six other princesses of the empire were married to the royal family of the kingdom of Russin, all of whom were queens.

During the reign of Lusian XVI, there was a death curse event in the palace of Lusne, and Lusan XVI left no heirs in his lifetime. In the end, the throne was succeeded by the nephew of Lusian XVI, Prince Lupuers of the Empire at the time.

Prince Lupturs was the great-grandfather of Empress Christina.

According to the genealogy of the Imperial Royal Family and the Royal Family of Lusien, the Queen is also the cousin of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. ”

At the beginning, in order to push Empress Christina as emperor, some players studied the genealogy of the Augustine family and the Rusian family thoroughly. It can be said that in addition to the difference in surnames, the bloodlines of the two families have long been confused.

Now Empress Christina is married to Augustine the Great, and her surname has been changed to Augustine. As long as those who are willing to accept it, they will accept that it makes sense in law.

Agatha knew that Meteor was right, and that the complex relationships within the royal family were not for outsiders.

Then Empress Christina said, "Agatha! Alec's personality is well known, he likes to make friends with powerful people, and he uses them very much. But Haoqiang cannot run the country, and Alec is not strong enough to rule the country in this extraordinary time.

You are the best person to inherit the throne!

If you are willing to take on this responsibility, I will be more than happy to assist you with Meteorite. ”
