Of the seven people who entered the hall, five were wearing heavy armor, and two mages were wearing robes, protected by magic.

However, the eyes they looked at the sword still did not have a trace of contempt, and they had a very clear understanding in their hearts, knowing that the sword in front of them was different.

Because the name of this sword is the Heart of Pain, it is a sharp blade that has been blooded by a thousand people, and most of these people have died on the battlefield, and the name of the battlefield is called the Central Mountains...... The orcs who are not productive may not be able to make fine and heavy armor, but they are naturally thick and flexible, and their fur is entangled in pine oil and earth, and they are by no means inferior to any armor in defense.

This sword is precisely because it can easily pierce through the fur...... Nearly a thousand times to crush every tenacious beating heart, that's why it got such a name.

An extraordinary weapon, and the person who matches this weapon is naturally also an extraordinary person.

"Lord Salazie, I really wish I hadn't met you here. ”

The old knight among the seven sighed softly and said.

Even though they already had the answer in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath when they heard the name—it was one of the few remaining Juggernauts in the Empire, and the most famous of them. Because he is only thirty-six years old, he has been a sword master for nineteen years.

"I don't want to, Lord Raymond...... It is painful to see a steadfast and loyal knight like you go astray. The Sword Master replied, and he walked slowly, "So, I came here on purpose. I want to give you a chance, if you can give up those ...... right away"

"Forgive me for my incompetence. Lord Salazie. The old knight coldly interrupted the other man's words. Then he drew his sword with a sonorous sound: "Unless you can welcome back the child of Your Majesty." We will never compromise with anyone!"

"The child of the majesty...... Oh, you said that little one?"

The man who was revered as the Sword Saint raised his eyebrows: "That old guy has no shortage of sons, and he has given birth to dozens of unknown women over the years, right? And if you really plan to be loyal, isn't that Alex Veld very good? They are already emperors, and that Assyria also has a territory, so he almost declares it publicly...... Why did he come here to rob this child whom he didn't even consider to be his blood? So much so that he was so popular, and almost all of them died for it? Is it necessary? What does it mean to you to take back that child? I remember that when you led your troops out to the Central Mountains, you were not a stingy being, but after only fifty years of age, your wisdom has been worn away by the years and there is almost nothing left?"

"Your Excellency Salazie, neither Alewilder nor Assyria is no longer a child of His Majesty. ”

The old knight slowly drew his sword...... In other words, the faint but sharp and terrifying coercion on the other party's body made him have to draw his sword. Only with the help of weapons could he clear his breath and speak: "We will not recognize those traitors who have turned their backs on the Empire, even if they do have royal blood in their bodies. ”

"Bloodline, it seems, you really don't understand what you're doing...... You think you're preserving a little of the king's blood. But in reality, you are only helping the descendants of a usurper to fight for what is not rightfully his. The corners of the Juggernaut's lips raised, and his smile was indifferent:

"It seems. Lord Raymond, you still have no idea what you're doing. Or, the cowardly guys who hide behind their backs won't dare to tell you the truth...... Don't you know, why did we take over Illyria so easily? So that most of the people of all of Illyria, whether nobles, knights, or whatever, choose to cooperate with us?"

"It's better to deceive those who don't know what to do, Lord Salazie, even though you have been loyal to the Empire for twenty years, and betrayal is still betrayal...... The sin of killing the emperor is something that you and all the rebels must and must bear!"

"I have never betrayed the Empire," Salazi sighed, "I, and what we have done, is nothing more than to return the Empire to its original master." ”

Then, he came to get a foolish and greedy idea. ”

The old knight's voice was a little soft.

As the person who most directly opposed the momentum of the Sword Master, he took on much more pressure than others, and more importantly, as a commander, he also had to pay attention to the current situation of each companion and think about what was about to happen, which almost drained all the old man's energy. Although he still stood straight, like a riding spear, his heavy heaving chest made even his every beard tremble. Only one of his eyes was clear and bright, as if a flame was rising in them.

"Don't you really know?"

The Sword Master shook his head and laughed contemptuously: "Who do you think I'm talking about? That kid? Of course not, although he will definitely ascend to the throne next, but it is only his body, he is lucky to be able to use his body to serve the greatest being in the world." ”

"What are you talking about?" the old knight frowned.

As a volunteer who had been loyally called in for years, he had been away from the complexities of Illyria for many years, and this operation was nothing more than a plot by careerists led by the young Elector to usurp the throne of the empire - to kill the current emperor and replace him with his child, who could then be used to prosecute him before he came of age.

However, the other party's rhetoric is full of oddities......

What does it mean to 'just his body'?

And what is the 'greatest being'?

There's no need to confuse others into a trick, and the Juggernaut's expression doesn't seem like a fake—in Raymond's memory, Salazi's loyalty to the Empire is truly irreproachable, his family is the staunchest supporters of royalty, and the so-called power is within reach for a Juggernaut. There is no need to resort to extreme means. Unless he is seeking the throne itself.

But now it seems that this thing. It seems to be much more complicated than the people of yourself know.

"It's just a lie from a rebel! no matter how clever you are, it can't change the fact that you killed Your Majesty!"

Juggernaut before he spoke. A mage behind the old knight sneered, "The greatest being in the world, do you want to say that there is a god who suddenly wants to try to guide mortals? No matter what tricks you play, it is impossible for you to justify your usurpation of the empire!"

"Usurpation?"

The Sword Saint's eyes flashed, but the air around him suddenly rolled out of Xiao Xiao's soft voice, which made everyone's hearts feel cold!

But just when they thought that the battle was about to break out, the voice of the Sword Master calmed down again: "There is nothing usurpation, Your Majesty Isgandar, our Supreme Emperor, is just taking back his own things. ”

The voice was calm, but the name was like thunder. Everyone looked at the Juggernaut a little blankly. Listen to him speak softly, but it seems as if he has heard nothing:

"The great Ishgandar has returned from the chaos, then the master of this country can only be him, in the presence of His Majesty the supreme lord, even the direct descendants of his blood are only qualified to administer his power, and now, when they hand over these things that do not belong to them, we have acquiesced to the descendants of His Majesty to govern the country in his place. But that doesn't mean that they are the masters of this country, otherwise, they are the biggest usurpers who steal this country!"

"Ridiculous!"

Until after a few breaths. Raymond finally whispered.

Isgandar?

Emperor?

It's insane!

The old knight could barely think of any words to describe the words of the sword master in front of him except for the absurdity, and he stared at the man's pale and neat face. It seemed to be trying to find some signs of madness, but in the end it didn't work out - Salazie's face was solemn. It was as if every word he had just spoken was a truth from the gods. And he himself is the preacher sent by the gods to the earth.

"Do you think I'm lying to you? Do you think it's impossible for a man to come back from the dead? Do you think it's impossible for the ruler of an empire that has been dead for a thousand years to be resurrected?"

A clear sneer appeared on the Sword Saint's face, emphasizing his contempt with three consecutive questions: "It seems that the stupidity of those nobles has been rendered on you, respected General Raymond, don't compare the Emperor Majesty with us, he is the only, strongest, and supreme Emperor in this world, no one can compare with him! Those void gods can still be resurrected from the dead, so how can our great emperor, His Majesty, not be able to do so?"

No one opened their mouths to answer because they didn't want to answer at all...... There is no point in trying to restore a real madman to normal.

"His Majesty Isgandar is our Emperor and the only one we need to be loyal to, so my actions cannot be called betrayal. I know you can't understand it, and none of us can convince anyone, so it's up to this uncivilized way to decide who will be able to carry out their decisions. Right?"

Salazie snorted and put one hand on his waist: "Okay, but before that, this thing should be returned to you." ”

He stretched out his hand, and a black object, thrown out by him, with little force, landed right in front of the seven intruders, and rolled like a ball. Standing just right, revealing a bloodless face in the messy hair...... The facial features are delicate and slender, and the big eyes and soft lips make up a youthful and beautiful face. However, at this moment, those eyes were already covered with a layer of gray, staring blankly, as if looking at everyone, and the outpouring of resentment and pain!

Everyone's eyes tightened in an instant.

They weren't peasants who had spent their entire lives without slaughter, trembling at the thieves' heads hanging from the city gates...... On the contrary, each of them had experienced the worst of the battlefields, whether knights, priests, or mages, and countless corpses had become commonplace for them, and a severed head should not provoke any reaction from them.

But they were still stunned for a moment.

Because they had seen the head before—that was why they were able to understand the layout of the village, mobilize them with dozens of knights, and then sneak in lightly...... An excellent spy. Before the start of the operation, in order not to accidentally injure. They had all seen the man's vision. Keep it firmly in mind.

Her death is deplorable, but it is more important. Her death symbolizes that the operation has been completely and completely exposed from the beginning.

"Lie down!"

In the stupor, everyone heard Raymond's yell!

But no one saw how the Juggernaut came out of the sword, time seemed to be missing a part there, the old knight's shout sounded, Salazie's hand had already left the scabbard, and a blade with a faint blue light hung down slightly, pointing diagonally at the ground.

Then, everyone heard a very strange sound. It was like the wind blowing through a pipe of flowing water, and the strange whirring sound with a little water sound slowly sounded.

Everyone's eyes drifted to the side, and they saw a man at the source of the sound.

A dead man.

In fact, he was still alive at the moment, blood still spurting from his neck with the heartbeat, and the constant spurting of gas from the broken trachea was covered in the blood of the fountain, which became the strange whirring sound.

However, the sound was soon filled with bubbling blood—the wound was so great that half of his neck, and even parts of his cheeks and shoulders were gone. The bright red flesh and pale bones beneath it were exposed, and yet the notch was so neat and neat, as if someone had ripped it straight out with a round blade!

This is the power of Salazie, and some say that the power of the elements he comprehends is the power of the wind. But some say it's an otherworldly creature, but no matter what, his power is extremely dangerous. The rapier in his hand would take away a portion of the enemy's body with a single swing. Even the strongest armor could not stop him, although he had only been famous for more than ten years. But in the battles that have been witnessed, he has often killed his opponent as soon as he draws his sword. Or in the throat or heart, at least half of his opponents who fought him died on such a sword.

The two priests in the team looked at each other, but then they both turned their heads gloomily, it should have been their job to treat the wound, but the two of them knew at a glance that this was beyond the limit of their divine healing, if only a part of the body was cut off or it was okay, they could stop the bleeding first and then call medium healing to repair it, but now that person's neck was missing, and before their magic was done, the person was already dead.

While!

The piercing sound drew everyone's eyes again, and they saw the old knight's sword against the other's stabbing thin sword, and sparks flew in the two swords. The two of them each took a step back...... But the Juggernaut raised his sword again almost without pause, and stabbed the old knight in the neck fiercely, so that he had to pace well, and struck the thin sword away with a sword back.

In an instant, the confrontation came to a halt again.

The old knight's hand was trembling, and the force from his hand was already numbing his muscles—

Raymond's heart sank, knowing that even if he blessed a series of buff spells, his strength and speed would not be able to dominate the men in front of him, and even the help of his subordinates would only kill himself, but at this moment he had completely lost the right to retreat, and could only hold on, looking for that possible fleeting opportunity!

And that mage is hopeless.

Those were the only two mages they could call on here, and now there was only one left, and it was unknown how much power they could wield...... At this distance, a Juggernaut is even more terrifying than an archmage, and the archmage's spells either have a chanting interval or can be slightly defended due to the difference in memory spells, but a Juggernaut can effectively kill his opponent one by one, and there is no possibility of escape.

"I wasn't going to do that. ”

The Sword Master shook his head, but in these words, there were two clanging metal clashes, and then there was a sound like a crystal shattering, and the last mage was staggering back, his face was pale, and the magic barrier in front of him was scattered, and the light splashed everywhere, obviously if it wasn't for the magic barrier, he might have to follow in the footsteps of his companions!

"Last chance, if you surrender, I will ask Your Majesty to give you the opportunity to pledge your allegiance. ”

Ding Ding Ding!

The speed of the Juggernaut's speech became faster and faster, and the sound of the metal clash became more and more intense! Raymond's forehead was already dripping with a layer of sweat, and the armor on several knights was also cracked, and the mage was panting heavily, and his face was hideous! At this moment, he had been wanting to launch a spell, but the Juggernaut's attacks were so frequent that he didn't even give him half a breath!

"There is no point in being stubborn. You're still ......."

The Sword Master waved his hand casually, and one phantom shadow after another swung out of the space—it was beyond the possibility of the so-called sword wind, more like a sharp claw flying from countless directions, attacking everyone everywhere! He was only one person and one sword, but he attacked the seven professionals to the point that he had no power to fight back! And he was also at ease!

But those men were still not ready to surrender, nor were they ready to retreat!

They supported, shielded, let the pieces of their armor shatter, let the blood run from their limbs and faces, and let the light of the sword pass over their bodies...... Until Salazie's face changed and he thought of something!

Procrastination!(To be continued......
