Chapter 13: The Night of the Meteor Shower (Part II)

"General, General, Your Majesty—" A panicked Praetorian Guard squad leader pushed open the gate and knocked down the guards at the door: "It's not a good thing! Suddenly countless meteors fell from the sky in the south of the city, like raindrops. ”

......

In dìdū, there has always been a saying: "If a meteor shower strikes the Knights of the Colorful Dragon in the middle of the night, then the next day, more than 70% of the famous nobles of the empire will hang a mourning cloth in white sè in front of their doors." "No one has ever taken this sentence seriously, but on the night of January 29rì in the winter of the 5th year of the magic calendar, on the night of the 40th birthday of the Red Stone Emperor, this unintentional word turned into a proverb.

Everyone flocked to the outside of the hall to look south, the night sky seemed to be splashed with blood, becoming blood-red and blood-red, the red clouds were low and low on the city wall like a dirty rag, and huge meteors with flames continued to fall in this blood-red clouds, each meteor landed, more blood-red sè rose to the sky, and the earth groaned and trembled in pain......

Among the nobles of the empire, a middle-aged man who reacted relatively quickly suddenly lost his proper demeanor, and his eyes were fogged: "My son!" fell headlong to the ground! More nobles reacted, and all the nobles drifted through the joke of the meteor shower in their minds, and the ominous atmosphere swept the crowd, and everyone's minds immediately flashed the corpses all over the ground under the meteor shower, and the legendary white mourning cloth full of the sky - the cry of pain suddenly sounded in the palace.

There was no need for anyone to remind him, Chi Hanfeng was too familiar with the place where the meteor shower fell - the military headquarters of the Colorful Dragon Knights, known as the jīng rui of the imperial jīng rui, with a full 15,000 subordinates.

Chi Aotian and Da Qingshan stood behind Chi Hanfeng, and they could clearly feel His Excellency General's arm trembling suddenly, and there was a gurgling sound between his upper and lower jaws. The two teenagers didn't know what to say for a while.

It's not about yourself, it's about yourself. The hundreds of nobles of the Amy Empire were in charge of the house, and they strode out without caring about the courtesy of the monarch and the courtiers.

Chi Hanfeng had already recovered and shouted: "Everyone, don't move! Soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, the head of the palace, immediately block this place, no one is allowed to leave! Chi Aotian, you will immediately lock up those who violate the order." Daqingshan, you immediately take my guards outside the southern city to see what happened, and come back and tell me directly. ”

Da Qingshan agreed, and before he had time to walk out of the wall of the banquet hall, the officer who had just been sent to inform the Colorful Dragon Knights rushed in with two forbidden soldiers: "Your Excellency, General, a large number of white-clothed human soldiers have appeared outside the empire, at least more than 3,000 people, we have been blocked back, and we are still ...... I also saw a lot of magicians casting magic in the distance!"

"What kind of soldier in white? Which troop is it, let's be clear!" Chi Hanfeng was so angry that he wanted to kick his subordinates out.

"Good...... It seems like...... It's the instructor ......," the squad leader whispered with great confidence.

The Redstone Emperor was behind Chi Hanfeng, turned his head to look at Pope Nebrev, only to find that the Pope and his 12 cardinal archbishops had left their positions just now.

A hearty laugh came from mid-air, and the Pope and the 12 cardinals rose high with their feet on the levitation technique.

"Lord Redstone, don't look for it, I'm here. Nebreev's mustache trembled in the blood-red night: "It has been a full 592 years since the Amy Empire usurped the throne as a rebel. In this world, your people have sat long enough, and now, whoever belongs will be returned to whomever it is. ”

The Redstone Emperor's mind was in a mess, his eyes were black, he didn't know what to say or what the Pope, who had just been a solid ally, was going to do.

After Chi Hanfeng's mood stabilized, he pulled the chief of the palace over, and ordered in a low voice to gather all the chamberlains, hold the palace, and immediately notify the Praetorian Guards to retreat outside the palace to help defend the city - Chi Hanfeng no longer had any idea about the city wall of Dìdū, and opened the city overnight for more than 20 consecutive days, as long as the Holy See wanted to, it was estimated that he could send 10 brigades to Scambraisse. The immediate priority now is to hold the walls of the palace, stabilize the situation, and wait for reinforcements from all around.

Seeing that Hongshi didn't say a word, but his body was trembling slightly, Chi Hanfeng grabbed Hongshi and asked loudly with his back to the sky: "Your Majesty the Pope, are you sick! Without the support of the Empire, how could you have the richest region in the entire continent, and if it were not for the support of the Empire, you would have been driven around asking for food 400 years ago." What usurper, what traitor, do you mean what you're doing now?!"

"Hehe-hehe-hehe-hehe, more than 900 years ago, there was a great empire, Ze was the inhabitants of the entire Eminole Continent, that is, the ancestors of your gang of bandits rebelled, so that the emperor's descendants were in trouble, almost 900 years, today, the real king came to ask for his empire, don't you just arrest it?"

The corners of Chi Hanfeng's mouth sneered lightly, and he said two words unremittingly: "Idiot!"

Most of you know what the Pope is talking about, 900 years ago, there was indeed a great empire on the continent, according to the records, the territory of this empire is bordered by the ice port in the east, the ice port in the west, the Holy Snow Mountain in the south, and the peak of Messis in the north, and the territory is larger than today's Amy Empire. However, due to the perverse behavior of the last three generations of emperors, one generation was inferior to the next, and the empire collapsed in just 50 years. Since then, after the mainland entered the Warring States Period, at most, there were more than 140 countries, and today's five powerful countries on the mainland are all winners of the hundreds of kingdoms at that time.

His Majesty the Pope apparently also heard Chi Hanfeng's voice, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, and continued to speak loudly: "Holy Lord God of Light, forgive these poor lost lambs and awaken these consciences. "With the Pope's call, a bright spot suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a golden light swooped down, and His Majesty the Pope stood in the golden light, his whole body jumping up and down with a divine luster.

The ignorant people were the first to be moved, and dozens of representatives of the people knelt down humbly, as if praying in the Holy See, with their index fingers pressed together. However, most of the nobles and guests from various countries on the field were indifferent, and it was impossible for them to give up their vested interests because of a word from anyone

"Nebrev, you are talking nonsense, in the name of God, attacking His Majesty the King of the Empire, the Emperor of Redstone has an edict, whoever kills Nebrev will be given the title of Prince by the citizens of the Empire, and the Holy See will fill the vacancy of the Pope!"

"Mr. Chi Hanfeng, it's useless for you to say this, you know, in the past few years, how much work we have done to save the empire, no matter how capable you are, but you wouldn't have thought that all your actions today were in the original prediction. Surrender, Your Majesty has an edict: 'Anyone who voluntarily joins the Burmese Yang Empire will be the founding father of the country and promoted to a first-class knighthood!'"

"Nebolev, what are you talking about the great empire, what your majesty, are you?" Delaware, the deputy prime minister of the empire, stepped out of the crowd and asked loudly to the heavens.

The Pope smiled slightly: "Of course not, I am just a propagator of God's will, and as clergy, we will not be nostalgic for any earthly glory and wealth." You...... Look over there, the 135th emperor of the Burmese Yang Empire is here......"

The two teenagers behind Chi Hanfeng looked for prestige, their eyesight was excellent, and the two of them were stunned and shouted in a low voice at the same time: "How could it be him?!"
