Chapter 911: The Deceived Ghost Emperor
The plan discussed by the demon and Gongsun Yi was very simple: since it was not Alicia but Sophia who sent the Ming Empire, then the pink princess could be captured as a hostage first, and then the batwings hidden in Baoqing City could remove their disguises and carry out an attack, completely destroying the army of the Ming Empire; γ
It's simple, but it's also very thorough and discreet. The Ming Empire and the Alliance, which had just experienced a great war, were celebrating the New Year, and no one wanted to mention the previous defeat at such a festive time, and the demons also kept quiet "quite cooperatively", so everyone relaxed their vigilance against these bat wings, not to mention that Gongsun Yi also specially ordered people to carry out negative propaganda about the alliance in an attempt to provoke contradictions and create conflicts, further diverting everyone's attention. If it weren't for Imrith's timely reminder, Alicia, who has a strong personality and can even be said to be a little spicy, would have a hot head to find trouble with the Ming Empire and ignore the demons behind it.
If the little queen really did that, the end would definitely be very bad. However, there is no if, and the blonde girl who reacted under the reminder of her baby sister quickly regained her composure, methodically carried out a series of speculations and analyses, and finally formulated countermeasures against the demon's plan.
The god Hetshtier stepped forward to interfere and block the space to prevent the demon from teleporting to Baoqing City. The other party could not take advantage of the chaos to attack in a big way, so they could only obediently hurry, delaying the enemy's main army in space and time, so that the alliance could concentrate on dealing with the troubles in Baoqing City.
This is a move from the bottom of the kettle. No matter how much they make trouble in the city, the batwings and curious crawlers who have lost foreign aid will not be able to escape the fate of being slowly squeezed and annihilated by the steadily advancing alliance. As for the emperor Gongsun Yi, who tried to escape early in the morning, when Alicia and the others saw this guy again, they never expected that Ya would completely change into a different picture.
Since the main buildings in Baoqing City were basically destroyed, Alicia brought the elite officials, who could be regarded as the last hope of the Ming Empire, to the adventurer's camp. Here, the people will be responsible for reorganizing the Ming army and directing the army and civilians to repair the city, as well as ...... Conduct a trial of Gongsun Yi, who was captured by Icarus.
"Naw. Icarus. Alicia pointed to Gongsun Yi, who looked weird in front of her, and asked, "Can you explain what this is all about?"
The Queen of the Sky turned her head to look at Gongsun Yi, who was in a pale blue translucent state beside her, and lowered her head and pulled her hair with a resentful expression on her face, and then looked at her master and replied indifferently: "This is a creature with wisdom or a powerful soul who dies due to some coincidence or the influence of magic. A special phenomenon that makes one's soul fail to go to the underworld and continue to stay in the world, people in the Western Continent generally call it a ghost. β
"Well, thank you, but that's not what I wanted to ask. Alicia couldn't help but raise her forehead with her hand in pain. Then he suddenly raised his head and shouted. "Why did this guy become a ghost!?"
Without hesitation, Icarus continued to reply in an emotionless tone, "Because when I pursued the target on your orders, I was violently hindered by the opposing escorts, and the order mentioned that the target could be killed, so I used a powerful weapon. That's it. β
"Well, it doesn't seem like there's something wrong with the way I'm asking, it's that I'm asking the wrong person. Alicia rubbed her little swollen head, sighed, and said, "Then Gongsun Yi, how do you plan to explain this?"
Gongsun Yi, who was in a tangle, didn't seem to hear the little queen's question, but Li Huayin next to him jumped out decisively, clenched his fists, and spewed rough air from his nostrils with his eyes shining: "This is actually very simple." Little Ellie. The autocratic emperor looted countless treasures from his country, and then traded his country for a long life from the demons. I was about to 'enjoy eternal glory and wealth' in the true sense of the word, but suddenly I hung up. In this case, no matter who he is, he will have incomparably resentment, how could he obediently go to the underworld to rest? So-"
Everyone in the big tent was shocked, and the jaws were shattered, countless glasses were broken, and a large amount of fresh saliva was squirted, only to see the fierce red-haired girl rushing to Gongsun Yi with lightning speed, grabbing the collar of the dragon robe on the guy's body, shaking it back and forth vigorously, and shouting: "Hurry up and tell me honestly, where did you hide the looted treasure!?"
"So you care about this kind of thing!?" Alicia immediately pulled out a paper fan from her bracelet and rushed up, jumping up and hitting her friend's head several times in a row, "And why is that guy a ghost but you can catch him, normally speaking, you can't touch anything." β
Li Huayin also realized that something was wrong at this time, and let go of the poor ghost who was almost shaken into mosquito coil eyes, looked at his hand and said with a surprised face: "You really say that...... Little Ellie, could it be that I have some kind of special ability in dealing with spirits, so in the future, I will meet a ghost girl who unfortunately dies and start a series of lively, loving but thrilling daily lives? β
"When did you get infected with the second middle school disease? And what is the trouble with that super expansion like a light novel, isn't it enough to have a little sister Jing in the warehouse in the mountain behind the college!? Hurry up and obediently go back to my hometown with the rich second generation of Jebutan to get married with a big belly! I promise to be the first to come to celebrate when the time comes. β
The red-haired girl couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this: "Woo woo, little Ellie, aren't you going to want me?" There are obviously so many memories between the two of us, such as voyeur attack and defense, night attack training, fat defense battle, and the final push decisive battle or something......
Hearing this, Michelle nearby immediately stepped forward in shock, looked at the blonde girl with black lines on her head, and asked with concern, "Sister Ellie, and Sister Huayin." Isn't your relationship very good, and why are there so many fights?"
"Trust me, Masamiya. The embarrassed Alicia patted her natural arm and sighed, "These battles that Huayin said just now are not at all the same thing as you imagined. So don't make any more trouble. β
"Yes, that's right!" Li Huayin clenched his fists beside him and said loudly, "These battles are excellent proof that little Ellie and I love each other!"
"It's just pure undisciplined and funny daily lifeββ!?"
Sophia, who felt that if she didn't come forward to stop them and let them rein in, the topic would get farther and farther, and she was caught in an endless cycle of daily complaints, and finally couldn't help but come out, coughed lightly, half-covered her face with a folding fan and said, "I'm sorry, let me interrupt." Alicia, I think the most important thing right now is to interrogate the emperor who has received the bento and turned into a ghost, not to shake out all the loving past between you and Li Huayin. What do you think?"
Alicia scratched her scalp casually and refocused her gaze on Gongsun Yi. Then he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the latter, who was a little stunned: "Hey, hurry up and come back to your senses!"
Gongsun Yi finally showed an expression on his face that he had just woken up from a big dream, and after looking up at the blonde girl in front of him, he roared on the spot and swooped down on her like a beast: "It's all your fault of the dead girl! I wouldn't be what I am now!"
The ghostly emperor was not able to touch the little queen, not even the hem of her skirt. Icarus, who was standing next to him, decisively and quickly raised his foot at the moment when Gongsun Yi had just exerted his strength, stomped on his back and kicked him to the ground.
Sitting on the table, holding the yogurt bottle, the mercury lamp was clear, and the teacups nearby were beating slightly.
In addition to Alicia and others, there were several representatives of the Ming Empire in the big tent. The leader is naturally the highly respected Lin Feiyun. Seeing his old master being treated like garbage, uh no. Being trampled under the feet of the angel, looking at Gongsun Yi, who was constantly twitching his limbs, the old general couldn't help but worry in a cold sweat: "That, His Highness Icarus." If you step on it like this, you're going to die. β
"It doesn't matter. The Queen of the Sky replied flatly but unwaveringly, "He's dead." β
The old general suddenly felt a deep pain in his eyes.
While speaking, Alicia had already squatted down by herself, and curiously poked Gongsun Yi, whose body was light blue, with her hand and carefully observed: "Oops, I didn't expect that except for the lack of body temperature, it feels no different from a normal person." Icarus. Was he already in this state when you found this guy?"
"Yes, master. β
βOKγ Can anyone explain what the hell is going on?" Alicia continued to poke at the immobile Gongsun Yi's head, looking around, "I mean, what kind of spell is this guy being cast?"
Even though they were extremely angry at Gongsun Yi's betrayal, there were still some representatives of the Ming Empire who were a little dissatisfied with the alliance's rude treatment of the emperor (because the goods had not yet abdicated in name). The prime minister, who was the leader of the civilian officials, couldn't hold back, took two steps forward and frowned and tactfully accused: "I'm sorry, everyone in the alliance. Although I am very grateful to everyone for helping us tide over the difficulties, how can I say that Gongsun Yi is still the emperor of the Ming Empire, is it a little unreasonable to let a girl treat him like this? At the very least, let the princess (looking at Sophia), who is the representative of the alliance, ask him. β
The pink princess, who had attracted everyone's attention, smiled quietly twice behind the fan, and said in a slightly mischievous tone: "Ah, don't you know yet? β
"Thanks for the compliment. β
Hearing this, the prime minister also realized the strangeness, but seeing the blonde girl's appearance without any aristocratic cultivation, he still had a little luck, and asked cautiously: "That, what do you don't know?"
Sophia walked up to Alicia's side and reached out and touched the top of the squatting girl's head, covering her mouth and introducing with a smile: "This is the most powerful force in the Western Continent Alliance, and has developed and manufactured advanced magical mechanical weapons such as air warships comparable to your country's Blue Dragon. Her troops are the absolute main force of the coalition in the Birea Empire, which once successfully stopped the demon's many carefully planned attack plans with the help of her own strength and friends, and now it is the legendary hero who is revered by countless Birea citizens and even the people of the Western Continent to form an alliance with the enemy, Alicia Harris. Her Majesty the Venerable Queen of the Birea Empire. β
Rao guessed that the identity of the blonde girl was definitely not simple, and Lin Feiyun, who had a certain amount of psychological preparation, couldn't help but fall down on the spot when he heard this, and the rest of the representatives of the Ming Empire were even more decisively wiped out collectively.
"She's a queen?" After a long time, Lin Feiyun, who had finally recovered his breath, was the first to get up, walked to Ilya's side, and pointed to Alicia and asked.
Nod.
So how did you get her hands on her strategy in the first place...... It's better not to ask. Lin Feiyun looked down speechlessly, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed: "The world is so big. There are both emperors who sell their country in order to gain a long life, and there are also emperors like her who have no shape at all. But in this way, it makes sense why you always surround Miss Harris, and why Your Majesty's side is centered on her. In that case, let's not just interject. After all, this is a conversation between two emperors. β
Although both of them are somewhat unreliable in every sense.
The prime minister nodded vigorously, and by the way, he raised his hand to signal the delegates to take a few steps back. to vacate the field to Alicia.
"I was deceived. Just as the little queen who stood up again was about to speak, Gongsun Yi, whose face was close to the ground, suddenly took the lead in speaking, "Those demons have indeed given me a long life. But in a different way! They said that the magic I cast could change my constitution and prolong my life, but now that I think about it, it was just a lie. That's not what I want at all!"
"You've been turned into the living dead, aren't you? Or you wouldn't have become this particular ghost. Alicia suddenly said in astonishment. "I want to keep the human body alive for tens of thousands of years. That's simply not possible, unless you can cultivate to level 8 strength. Even ordinary demons only have a lifespan of thousands of years, so why and what means will they use to make you immortal? The answer is no. But there is a way in this world that people can never die while maintaining their consciousness, but ...... It can also make people feel that life is worse than death. β
"Necromancy. Imrith, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but have a sad expression on her face, "Using spells to turn the living into the living dead, even though the body is dead, you can still experience all kinds of feelings, and you will never get sick again, at first glance, you will have the idea that it is better to be dead than alive." But in reality, this is not the case. Eventually, the dead body will slowly decay, but the pain will be clearly communicated to its owner, until only the skeleton remains. The living dead would still be hungry and thirsty and wanted to eat, but ...... He has no body left. You see, this is a vicious curse that can drive anyone of strong will into madness. It's just that Icarus used a powerful weapon to destroy Gongsun Yi's body at that time, which happened to free his soul from his body. β
"Well, it's not absolute. Alicia sternly raised her index finger and said categorically, "In this case, if you find enough hydrangeas to eat, you will be able to preserve your body for a long time and not let it rot." β
"Where did you come from, the cute girl zombie who came back to life after falling off a cliff and dying!?" Sophia unceremoniously slapped the blonde girl in the head with a folding fan.
"What's wrong with cute girls and zombies, at least they are much more loving than those guys who want to bite every day in ordinary horror movies, action movies, and gunfight movies!"
Faced with the sudden undisciplined daily life in front of him, Gongsun Yi didn't know whether he should cry or laugh at this time.
Wei Chimu, who had been standing in the back of the line and hiding without showing up, originally planned to continue to hide like this, but now it seems that the disposal of Gongsun Yi is likely to be over, and he feels that it is better to stand up: "I'm sorry, can you let me say something, Your Majesty?"
"Yu Chimu!? You guy really didn't die. Gongsun Yi frowned vigorously when he saw the visitor, but he quickly remembered his current situation, so he had to shake his head a little painfully.
Alicia naturally knew what Yu Chimu wanted to say, so she casually gestured to the other party and said, "So, do you have any suggestions for the disposal of Emperor Gongsun Yi?" Well, at least the death penalty is impossible. β
The young general had long been accustomed to the little queen's unscripted character, and bowed respectfully to the girl and said, "Yes, my majesty." Given that Gongsun Yi is now dead and that all of his relatives have been killed in the attack of His Highness Icarus, I propose that the Gongsun clan be deposed as royal and that the Ming Empire elect their next leader by meritocracy. As for this ghost...... Is there any way to send him back to the underworld?"
Gongsun Yi immediately screamed like crazy when he heard this, but Icarus was staring at him closely, and in the end he couldn't make any trouble.
"Speaking of my sister. Imrith suddenly leaned in and asked in a low voice, "What kind of powerful weapon did Icarus use to kill Gongsun Yi's entire escape team?"
After a few seconds of silence, Alicia pursed her lips decisively with pain on her face: "The final weapon, Apollo, the legendary map cannon." (To be continued......)
