The appearance of the Iron Giant Hercules made the originally frightened people even more panicked, they didn't know that it was from thousands of years ago, but their physical instincts told them that they could only abandon the city and flee next.

Although the distance between the two sides was still a few thousand meters, no one could guarantee that the strange giant would not teleport over.

At this time, Agnes was also shocked.

"This can't be, isn't the ultimate weapon already destroyed?"

"Lord Agnes, without further ado, you should go and evacuate first." Lucius hurriedly reminded.

"Evacuation ......," Agnes muttered, her first thought was the people, but it was useless to say anything.

She was staring blankly at the scattered crowd under the platform, when she suddenly saw a person coming against the crowd, and when she looked closely, she realized that it was the emir.

"Your Highness Agnes, the current situation is very dangerous, I suggest that you take refuge first, don't you still want to become a king? But if you make a mistake, there's no guarantee what the Elnos Empire will become in the future. ”

Agnes listened to these words and finally figured it out.

Not to mention whether it is possible to keep the people out in an orderly manner by staying here and maintaining order, even if it succeeds, he may be affected by the ultimate weapon in the end, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Okay, I see."

However, Lucius did not escort Agnes away, but stood still.

"Lucius, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Highness, you go first, the emir will protect you."

"And what do you do?" Agnes asked with concern, vaguely knowing what the other party was trying to do.

"Your Highness, you have worked so hard for so many years to maintain a positive image in the hearts of the people, but now if you run away in front of the people, what will they think? I'm sure you'll think your promises are just words, but I have a way to prevent people from thinking like that......"

"You want to stay here and maintain order?" The emir spoke for him.

"Hehe, it's you, I understand at once," Lucius smiled with satisfaction, and continued, "I am His Highness's personal knight, and the people know this very well, and if I stay here, they will think that His Highness has not left either." ”

Agnes expected it, but she was still a little reluctant, now that the terrifying ultimate weapon had been activated, even if it destroyed the entire royal capital, she really couldn't control herself from worrying about Lucius's safety.

It's just that she understands Lucius's character, and she can't stop her at all, so she can only compromise at this time.

"Well, Lucius, I have the most important order to give you, and if you can't do it, you can bring me to see me."

"Hehe, Your Highness, please speak." Lucius smiled heartily.

"Gotta come back alive, definitely!" Agnes said word for word.

Lucius felt the weight of this sentence, but he still put on a graceful look.

"That's nature, who do you think I am, Your Highness, I'm the strongest paladin in the empire."

“…… Cut, it's okay," Agnes patted his breastplate, then turned around, "Let's go, Emir, and I'll leave it to our strongest paladin." ”

After this, Lucius sent dozens of elite knights to follow him, and then all the rest left with Agnes.

According to the words of those elite knights, no matter what, the entire knight order of His Royal Highness cannot be wiped out, so the novice of the knight order must be saved.

Emile looked back at Lucius's back, and suddenly remembered that in the storybook he read as a child, a knight chose to sacrifice himself to protect the people, and that book only arranged an illustration for this plot, which was the knight's back.

He didn't remember what the story was about, he only knew that the ending was not good, and he was so sad that he cried after reading it.

So, he didn't want to see that happen in reality, so he broke away from the retreating group and ran towards Lucius.

"Lucius!"

“…… Well? What else? Lucius turned his head and clasped his hands, "Could it be that you want to protect Your Highness's reward, don't worry, Your Highness will naturally not miss you." ”

"Well, why do you think of me as that kind of person," the emir chuckled, and pulled out a palm-sized cloth bag from the magic ring, "Here you go, open it if your life is in danger." ”

"Hehe, I don't need this comfort," Lucius said with a smile, "but thank you for your kindness. ”

"Oh, it's not psychological comfort, anyway, you take it, even if it's my request."

The emir shoved the sack into his hand and ran away without looking back.

“…… What a strange guy. Lucius was puzzled, but put the cloth bag into the pocket inside the armor.

After that, he stood on a high platform in the square, commanding the knights to control the crowd so that no one would be trampled to death, and then he was wary of the approaching iron giant.

In fact, he also wanted to go down to help, but he understood that as the representative of His Royal Highness Agnes, he had to stand in the most prominent position, so that the people could understand that it was Agnes who maintained order.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the scattered fleeing people to be in order, and they were heading towards the underground shelter in an orderly manner.

After about ten minutes, the Iron Giant was already close at hand, and the evacuation of the people was finally completed.

At this time, in the square, in addition to him and dozens of his subordinates, there were also some knights in pitch-black armor, which were the Knights of Yuxhir who took it as their mission to defend the royal capital.

Munges stepped forward and nodded to Lucius.

"Captain, I heard you shout just now, isn't that your god? Why do you have to draw a sword against your god? Lucius said leisurely.

"Lucius, huh? I've heard of you, the strongest paladin in the Empire. Mungus took off his helmet and smiled.

He looked like he was in his thirties, his appearance was just like normal, and his eyes were not green, which was supposed to be the effect of armor.

"Don't dare to be it, if you also participated in the knight competition at that time, maybe there would be nothing to do with me."

"Hmph, just excuse me, I want to answer your question directly, that thing is indeed a weapon used to conquer the world thousands of years ago, but in the end it brought death to our empire, if it is a god, it can only be a god of chaos, and it is an existence that must be cursed by us, the descendants of the Yukhir Empire."

“…… I see. ”

"Alright, that's the end of the gossip, it's our responsibility to annihilate that thing, and if we fail, we can hand it over to you next."

"Hehe, is the head of the regiment trying to rob us of our credit?" Lucius said half-jokingly.

However, Mongues was serious, and he glared at Lucius fiercely.

"As I said, it's our responsibility, and if you disagree, I don't mind going to war with you and your men until then."

"Hehe, just kidding, don't be so angry." Lucius hurriedly raised his hand, then retreated to the back.

Then, he watched as the blackened knights came to the front of the battlefield, and they were almost five hundred meters away from the iron giant.

And the other party also spotted them, and immediately raised his thick right arm.

There was a thundercloud wrapped around the steel arm, and countless lightning bolts loomed, and as the arm was raised, the thundercloud actually moved to the palm of the hand.

"Tsk, damn it, it wouldn't want to throw it over." Mongues's heart sank.

In the next moment, his guess came true, and the huge thundercloud turned into a ball and flew over.

"Quick, get out of the way!" Mongues hurriedly beckoned behind him.

With a loud "boom", the thundercloud smashed on the ground, and then there was a violent explosion, and the surrounding area of more than 50 meters suddenly turned into a ruin.

Mongues was also affected, cracks appeared in his armor, and his whole body was dizzy, and he looked back at his knights, and found that there was no one left.

Countless tiny dots of light flew towards him, and finally burrowed into his armor, and soon even the cracks were repaired.

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

Mungus muttered, his hands shaking as he faced the behemoth again.

"Hey, Captain Mongues, hurry up and hide, don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Beneath the ruins not far behind him, Lucius was shouting at him, but the only thing that answered him was indifference.

Of course, Mungus knew that he could not die in vain, but now that he was standing in this place, there was no turning back, his life was not his own, but everyone who belonged to the Knights of Yukhir.

Therefore, even if the fate of doom was in front of him, he could not retreat.

So, he poured the power into his hands, and it stopped the trembling, and then he placed the jet-black greatsword on his chest.

This was the stance of unleashing the sword technique, and Hercules, who was not far from him, also felt the power of his physical surge, and then raised his left arm, but there was nothing in this hand.

Mongues couldn't control it so much, his sword move couldn't be stopped, and once he stopped halfway, his own body would be under a huge load.

Next, the two sides attacked almost simultaneously, and countless black skeletons suddenly emerged from Mongos's greatsword, and then gathered into a group, spinning and flying towards the giant's head, while Hercules waved his left arm in the air, and an invisible force immediately attacked Mongoth.

In the next moment, the two forces collided together, first a shockwave spread, completely turning the surrounding ruins into powder, and the whole process was even silent, and a few seconds later there was a loud thunderous sound, as if even the sky had fallen.

In the distance, Lucius continued to hide in the makeshift bunker, his eyes closed, trying not to imagine the fate of Mongues, who had just spoken to him.

But it was evident that this was impossible, and when all had calmed down, he ordered his men to stay where they were, and he himself rushed out at once, intending to confirm the condition of Mongues himself.

However, as he approached the battlefield, he was greeted by a giant sword, which seemed to be perfectly balanced after the collision of two huge forces, and actually plunged straight into the ground.

There was no sign of Mongos in the side, and Lucius knew that he would not run away, and that a true knight would never run away, so there was no doubt that Mongues was gone.

Thinking of this, Lucius looked at the giant in the distance and couldn't help but be afraid, but in the end he still sorted out his mood and walked over gracefully.

The giant also seemed to have intelligence, and did not take the initiative to approach, but quietly waited for the arrival of the next opponent.

"Hehe, it's quite martial arts." Lucius couldn't help but complain.

And as he reached the center of the battlefield, Hercules acted again, and it seemed to sense that the knight in front of him was unusual, so it decided to use the weapons in both hands.

"Well, why do you use two hands against me, it's so unfair."

Lucius wanted to cry without tears, so he had to hug his head and run away.

In the next moment, the thundercloud exploded beside him, and the invisible force also attacked quickly, but Lucius couldn't dodge it at all.

"It's over, it's over, it's a matter of death this time, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I can't complete your order."

He thought to himself, but his eyes were still searching for something, and finally he noticed the greatsword of Mongoth.

As the strongest paladin in the empire, his skills were naturally outstanding, and at that moment, he crawled and hid behind the giant sword.

Sure enough, I don't know if it was the blessing of Mungus or the quality of the greatsword, he successfully withstood Hercules's two attacks.

But the battle was far from over, and he suddenly felt a tremor in the ground, and it was clear that Hercules was approaching him.
