"Hahaha!"

Emperor Sarantos Midknight grinned at her horrible mouth, half of which was not covered by half of her cheeks, and burst out laughing:

"Palladia, this death knell is for you! My Admiral will save the day every time it counts, and your coalition fleet will be wiped out! ”

Palladia II looked into the distance with a hideous face, and he saw Valstarao's privateer fleet join the battlefield, watching the coalition warships being sunk one after another.

Such a fiasco is unacceptable to him.

He was a great man who aspired to be the spiritual leader of the continent of Oracis.

He didn't want to accept the harsh reality, he thought it was unfair, and the result was sorry for his years of hard work.

He used many means to gather the most powerful coalition fleet in the whole continent and gather the top combat masters, but he was still defeated by a damn woman, a damn illegitimate daughter.

However, the facts are in front of us, the defeat is decided, and it is in vain to complain.

"Well......" Palladia II sighed and said:

"Salantos, I admit that I lost the war, but the battle between the two of us is not over,

Come on, keep fighting! I don't plan to return to China, this ship is my coffin, but before then, I must kill you and use your corpse as my burial goods! ”

He took a deep breath and tried to force his feet on one leg, but once again he failed and fell to the ground.

Palladia II lay on the ground in embarrassment, and he slammed the ground with his steel fist to vent his anger.

blame the unlucky, severed knee, and shame yourself.

In order to vent these frustrations, he angrily slashed with his sword, causing many things around him to suffer, including Sister Diana's corpse.

Empress Sarantos said angrily: "Bastard! Stop it! How can you treat her like this?

Accept defeat! Palladia, I will bury your men, they are all warriors worthy of respect, worthy of a royal burial. As for you, I will take you to the Golden Lake Palace and give you a good treatment. ”

Palladia Chiaramonti II's face flushed, and he spat bloody spit on the other side, and hysterically cursed:

"Stupid woman! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson! You ungodly tyrant Valsta! I didn't force her to die! She was willing to block the bullet for me! ”

"You watched her grow up, don't you have a little compassion? She died for you! ”

"Huh, so what? Prove that I was right in my vision back then! I chose a simple-minded orphan on the side of the street, and I trained her to be a ...... Cheap tools for killing! ”

Hearing this, the empress's anger reached its peak: "What? You're ...... She was...... Tool? ”

Palladia II tried to get up again, but failed, he was already mad, and said angrily:

"Huh...... That's right, people like tools...... And she's a useless tool!

She's as useless as Earl Jaquinn and has betrayed my trust!

I'm counting on them to help me, she didn't shoot you in the head or heart with a crossbow, so you won't have a chance to kill yourself.

Diane Sarswell......

She's just one of thousands of dirty, smelly orphans in the slums, and there's nothing special about her.

She was lucky enough to be met by me and didn't suffer and starve on the streets.

I sent her to the Templar Assassin Sisters' Order to learn assassination, and since then, she has been well fed, clothed, and feared, and she deserves to repay her for all of my favors! ”

"Palladia, what a bastard, brute! That's a life, not a tool. ”

"Salentos, stop deceiving yourself! It's not just Diane, we're all born to be pathetic tools, aren't we?

I was born destined to dedicate myself to the Church, not to marry or have children, and to die alone.

And you didn't escape a political marriage and marry an old man about your father's age!

Regardless of our origins, we are not free!

Everyone envies our identity, but we seem glamorous on the surface, but in fact we are all pawns played by the god of fate, and we are all just tools!

cough cough cough cough ......"

Palladia II's angry barrage almost tore his parched throat apart, and he coughed violently.

Empress Salantos slung her sword and struggled to stand up straight:

"Palladia, don't talk to me about anything high-minded. Sister Diane ...... She...... She loves you!

Even I, an outsider, can see it, I don't believe you don't know!

And you...... You use her as a tool to gain authority and strive for the top!

Cultivate a beautiful girl who is really pure and kind into a cold-blooded killer, and in the end, he still dislikes her! You cold-blooded and ruthless brute! ”

For the third time, he got up again and failed, and Palladia II lay on the ground panting, but his mouth did not admit defeat:

"Oh? Now that you're cold-blooded and ruthless, Salantos, you're not far behind.

You put Prince West to death with a single order, but he is the brother of your father, the Duke of East, and your own uncle, and I happened to kill my own uncle.

So...... What's the difference? Hahahaha! ”

"You...... You madman...... What a beard!

Palladia, do you dare to ask yourself, don't you have even the slightest affection for Sister Diana?

Whether it's family affection or love......

Keep your eyes open! Look at her face! She died for you, without complaint! And you wantonly destroyed her body in order to vent your anger!

At this moment, Palladia II suddenly became silent, and many events flashed through his mind.

At that time, he was still a handsome young man with high spirits, and he came across a scrawny girl on the side of the street, who had innocent, beautiful blue eyes, and looked at him pitifully.

The younger self stretched out his big hand and took the girl to church, gave her a bowl of hot gruel, and the girl never left him ever since.

In this cold and unforgiving world, Dianne Suaswell is like a daughter he is destined to have, she always seems so warm and brings a touch of comfort to himself.

Palladia II had a sour nose and hurriedly lowered his head, he did not want the sworn enemy in front of him to see his expression.

Sarantos noticed with her one eye a few drops of liquid dripping from the floor beneath the Pope, and his strong, armoured body trembled slightly,

Palladia II's voice became soft:

"The first time I met her, it was raining.

Diane, how nice it would be if we weren't the Pope and the Killer, but two ordinary villagers! ”

"Boom ......"

A bolt of lightning struck, and lightning illuminated the Empress's monstrous bloody face.

Emperor Sarantos Midknight silently looked at his opponent and nodded slightly.

"Palladia, it seems that deep down in your heart, you still care about her."

"I have wept in front of my mortal enemy, and I have disgraced the face of my Chiaramonti family......

Well, Salentos, now I am defeated, no matter the battle...... Or the battle between you and me, I lost completely.

Kill me...... I don't want to accept the humiliation of defeat, that's the only thing I want. ”

"Don't worry, I'll give you a good time."

Holding Twilight in her right hand, the Empress limped to her opponent's side and raised her sword in the air

Palladia II turned his face sideways to look at Sister Diana's cold corpse, noticing her beautiful round blue eyes.

(She didn't see my victory, and she didn't blink.) ）

On the waters of Banshee Fjord, the sound of cannons is still rumbling, and people are fighting to the death on the sea, and more lives are falling with each second.

Today, at least 40,000 people have died on both sides of the war.

Palladia Chiaramonti II closed his eyes and enjoyed a rare rest, he was too tired to live, he put too much pressure on himself, and he had no friends at all except for the few cronies who swore to serve him.

(Actually...... I've always been a lonely person...... He finally thought.

Then, with a chill on his neck, a huge head rolled on the ground several times before finally rolling into the bosom of Sister Diana's body.

Emperor Salantos Midknight bowed to the corpses strewn across the cabin, then she sheathed her sword and roared with her cracked mouth.

"Father! Did you see that? I've defeated all of Valsta's enemies! All! ”

She couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed, lying on the floor unconscious.

Another salvo struck, and several of the cabins of the "Hegemony" flooded, began to capsize and sink.

The coalition flagship "Holy Trinity" next to it also began to tilt and sink.

In the end, the two ships were defeated, and neither of them survived the battle.

After a while, the Empress of Salantos suddenly woke up from her fainting, and she felt herself lying in the icy water, which had reached the cabin on the top floor of the stern, and that the ship was about to sink.

Soon, the sea water swept over her lying flat body and poured mercilessly into her fleshy eyes.

Along with a room full of corpses, she sank into the icy waters, no longer blue, but scarlet, the battle that stained the Banshee Fjord in a sea of blood.

The sea gradually flooded her lungs, and before she died, the most longed-for images often came to her mind:

It was an idyllic house in the woods, a gray-haired and silver-eyed girl was chasing butterflies in the garden, her mother was picking cabbage in the yard, and the wooden fence was creaking, and it turned out to be her father's return, with a shotgun in his hand and a wild duck in his net.

The girl hurried into her father's arms, who lovingly stroked her hair: "Sarantos! We're having a big meal today! Tell your mother to make a fire! ”

Tears welled up in her only remaining right eye, and then disappeared into the icy water

It's getting colder, colder and colder, and just like that, immersed in a dream of happiness, sleeping forever......

A warm hand grabbed her right arm and dragged her towards the surface......

I just feel like I'm rising......

Rise......
