Just as the Revolutionary Army's spaceship "Call of the Holy" was about to set sail, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly appeared and stopped Captain Root before he could board the ship.
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor personally taking action, the lazy smile on Captain Root's face finally disappeared, revealing a rare serious look.
On the contrary, His Majesty the Emperor's face was calm, and there was a faint pressure on his body, and he slowly walked out of the woods alone.
Looking at Cyrus who was kneeling on one knee and saluting him, His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly and said: "The courage is commendable, but the strength is still weak! Practice well when you go back. The future of the empire depends on you young people!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Originally, Cyrus was a little frustrated because of the repeated setbacks in his actions tonight. But now that he was encouraged by His Majesty the Emperor himself, the silly girl immediately regained her fighting spirit and regained her confidence.
When he meets Natalia and others next time, Cyrus, who has regained his strength, will give them a big surprise...
"Remnants of the Lizard Clan, I finally caught you. Do you have any last words before you die?"
His Majesty the Emperor comforted Cyrus lightly, staring at Captain Root with a stern gaze, holding the epic sword "Devil Slash", and pushed forward step by step.
Hearing the insulting name "Lizard Clan", Captain Root's face suddenly darkened, his eyes sparkled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The Dog Emperor of the Empire, you have slaughtered so many of my people for generations, sooner or later I will
I want to destroy the empire and avenge my people!"
Captain Root is a powerful being who can instantly kill the Minotaur King with one strike, but when he faces His Majesty the Emperor, he seems to be a little afraid. Even when he speaks, he seems very unsure.
In fact, it's not his fault. He had the honor to see His Majesty the Emperor's strength with his own eyes. It's still hard to forget, and he understands that he is no match for him.
More importantly, Captain Root, who is a dragon, has a serious psychological shadow on the royal family of the Delos Empire. Because when he was young, he witnessed the empire's dragon-slaying warriors brutally murdering his parents and hanging the bloody dragon heads.
On the back, it serves as a medal of merit. The most famous dragon-slaying warriors in the empire are members of the royal family.
Thousands of years ago, in order to better control the heaven, the Dragon King Bakar sent some dragons to the Arad continent to eliminate the powerful humans at that time and prevent humans from helping the heaven. Captain Root is a descendant of those dragons.
Facing the invasion of dragons, the Perus Empire, the predecessor of the Delos Empire, which ruled the continent at that time, sent a large number of warriors to slay the dragons.
Although human beings are generally weak, there are also some truly strong ones. At that time, the emperor of the Peruvian Empire personally led the strong human beings to forcefully repel the dragons.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the empire, the remaining dragons could only escape to the depths of the volcano and survive. Captain Root was also one of them. However, he was still young at the time and had just hatched from the eggshell.
But even if the dragons retreat, the strong humans are not going to let them go. Especially the royal family of the Peruvian Empire. Before every emperor ascends the throne, he must kill a giant dragon as a test. This has brought problems to the dragons with low reproductive ability.
A devastating disaster.
Although the arrival of dragons may initially threaten human survival, there are also some dragons who are calm by nature and do not like conflicts. It is precisely because these dragons are not combative by nature that they are lucky enough to escape pursuit and hide.
However, the tradition of dragon-slaying among the royal family of the empire has been formed. No matter how hard those dragons hide, they will still be found every few decades and then hunted down across the continent by the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne.
Leon Heinrich III, the current emperor of the Delos Empire, also slayed a dragon when he was young. The dragon he killed was the last member of Captain Root's clan.
At that time, Captain Root even fought against His Majesty the Emperor, but in the end he had no choice but to escape.
Seeing the tragic death of the last of his tribe, but unable to take revenge, Captain Root joined the revolutionary army organization out of extreme anger and helplessness.
His purpose is not so much to overthrow the empire as to seek revenge.
But the reality made him helpless again. As a human, His Majesty the Emperor's strength increased rapidly, far exceeding that of the long-lived dragons. No matter how hard Captain Root tried, he still had no chance of defeating him.
Now being suddenly bumped into by His Majesty the Emperor, Captain Root was very anxious, fearing that the people on the spacecraft would be killed by this tyrant.
As for His Majesty the Emperor opposite, he simply wanted to kill the old dragon Captain Root and clear up the hidden dangers for the empire...
"Set the boat quickly, I'll hold him back!"
Captain Root knew that he was no match for His Majesty the Emperor, so he could only do his best to protect the young people on the spaceship, hoping that these young people would fulfill his wish and overthrow the iron-blooded rule of the empire.
Roaring vigorously, Captain Root took action first, clenching his fists and rushing forward.
When the desperate moment came, Captain Root did not dare to hold back at all, and his momentum exploded, causing gravel to fly on the ground. Even Cyrus, who was kneeling beside him, was knocked backwards by the impact.
"Humph, stupid big lizard!"
His Majesty the Emperor snorted disdainfully, and slowly raised the Heavenly Demon Slash in his hand. His aura was condensed but not released, and he slashed straight with the sword without any tricks.
"call……"
A blazing red sword energy, with a strong fire attribute attack, was only more than two meters high when it came out from the sword, but when it flew in front of Captain Root, it expanded into a giant sword energy more than 20 meters high.
Captain Root's face turned red in the reflection.
The speed of the sword energy is very fast, but it is not impossible to dodge. After all, Captain Root's strength is not limited.
But he can't hide, and he doesn't dare to hide!
Because behind him was the low-flying Holy Sage. If he avoided the sword energy, the spacecraft behind him would suffer. This huge blazing sword energy could definitely split the spacecraft in half.
"Damn it! Ludmila, start the boat quickly!"
Captain Root shouted helplessly, asking the navigators who stayed on the ship to quickly lift the spacecraft into the air. However, he himself had no choice but to punch the terrifying sword energy.
"boom!"
The sword energy collided with the iron fist, and a strong shock wave erupted, which shocked Cyrus who fell to the ground and watched the excitement from a distance.
How powerful is this? A simple punch and a sword are actually more violent than some people's awakening skills. This is the real showdown between strong men!
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed in the field, revealing His Majesty the Emperor, who was wearing a golden armor and spotless, and Captain Root, who looked slightly embarrassed.
Captain Root's right arm was seen hanging low by his side, trembling slightly. There was a deep burnt black sword mark on the back of his hand, and the bones were visible.
It’s just one move, it’s a matter of judgment!
His Majesty the Emperor seemed uninterested in the rapidly rising spaceship. He kept staring at Captain Root and said impatiently: "Aren't you going to transform yet? I have no interest in fighting you in human form!"
Captain Root panted lightly and glared at His Majesty the Emperor. He gritted his teeth and said: "You damn royal family are always so proud. If you want to fight, then give it a good beating. Come on! Roar..."
A long dragon roar came from Captain Root's mouth, and his body, which was not too burly at first, expanded rapidly as if he had been blown out of air, and all his clothes were torn apart.
In just a blink of an eye, Captain Root who was standing there disappeared and was replaced by a giant red dragon that was even bigger than the Bull-Headed Tool King.
The head of the giant red dragon is ferocious and terrifying, and its body is majestic and majestic. A pair of fleshy wings covered with scales on its back flap gently, but...
"It's really ugly. What's the difference between it and a big lizard with wings!" His Majesty the Emperor revealed the truth in one breath, making the red dragon so angry that smoke started to pour from its nostrils.
However, Cyrus in the distance was frightened. This was the first time she saw such a huge and terrifying creature. Even the bull-headed weapon king who showed off his power before was far inferior.
Especially the coercion emanating from the red dragon, coupled with its huge body, made Cyrus feel a strong suffocation, clutching his chest and unable to breathe.
"Cyrus, you go back and recover! You can't watch the next battle. If you stay here, you will die!"
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He stared at the red dragon in front of him and kindly reminded Cyrus to leave.
Even without His Majesty the Emperor's order, Cyrus would not dare to stay here any longer. This is because the battle that will follow will definitely be on a monster level, but she, a little swordsman who has not yet awakened, cannot stand by and watch.
With the order, Cyrus ran faster and rushed towards the exit of the testing ground without looking back.
Just after running a few steps, there was a thunderous roar from behind, as well as violent collisions and explosions.
Perhaps the aura emitted by the dragon was so terrifying that all the bloodthirsty cat demons that were wandering in the woods were frightened and fled, which saved Cyrus a lot of trouble.
Cyrus bit his lip tightly as he ran, his eyes filled with strong reluctance.
I used to be complacent about my ability as a senior swordsman, but today, I saw Veronica’s weirdness, Natalia’s outburst, the Minotaur King’s brutality, the terror of the red dragon, and the power of His Majesty the Emperor.
, she realized how insignificant she was.
Originally, she, a soldier, was supposed to protect His Majesty the Emperor, but in the end, it was His Majesty the Emperor who protected her, which deeply affected her strong self-esteem.
Whether it was for the prosperity of the empire or her own dignity, Cyrus secretly vowed in her heart that she must grow up as soon as possible, no longer hold anyone back, and become a truly strong person...
Time passed slowly, and no one knew the outcome of His Majesty's battle with the red dragon that night, but word spread that Ying Tianyi, the imperial prince, was assassinated.
Princess Isabella issued a wanted order, and the entire continent was searching for the green dragon who assassinated Ying Tianyi, as well as the green dragon's owner Gabriel.
The news of the appearance of the dragon clan caused a shock on the mainland. Whether it was for the empire's bounty or for the name of the dragon-slaying warrior, countless adventurers joined the search for the green dragon.
At the same time, there are two other things that have attracted a lot of attention.
The first thing was that the Sky City, which had been closed for thousands of years, was opened, but strange energy flowed inside, turning the first batch of adventurers who rushed in into monsters. It wasn't until the West Coast Magic Guild made a magical purification bracelet that
Adventurers who enter the Sky City are protected from strange energies.
However, the adventurers who entered the Sky City left excitedly and returned disappointed. They climbed to the 100th floor of the Sky City, but they did not find even a bird feather, let alone any treasure.
Some adventurers who were unwilling to give up went back and brought enough dry food to prepare to continue climbing the Sky City, vowing to find the treasure hidden in it.
The second thing is that the Canyon of the Dead suddenly closed early, and the adventurers staying in it did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Originally there were still a few months before the Canyon of the Dead was closed, and many adventurers were still there to grab artifacts and break into the tower. But one day, the death aura permeating the Canyon of the Dead suddenly increased. The adventurers staying in it instantly lost their voice. It was like
It seems like they were collectively kidnapped, and the Great Cathedral is currently investigating the matter.
In addition, the pattern of the entire continent is also constantly changing. The mutant monsters have greatly increased in strength and have broken out of the forest and begun to invade human villages.
As a result, a large number of human refugees poured into heavily fortified towns, and at the same time many people who lost their homes joined the ranks of adventurers. While destroying mutated monsters, they also sought opportunities to make money.
The once prosperous west coast has seen a surge in the flow of people, but consumption levels have plummeted, and various crimes have occurred frequently, forcing the empire to dispatch additional patrols to maintain public order.
The eldest princess Xilia, who was originally on an expedition to the east and west, brought part of her army to the checkpoint at the entrance of the Canyon of the Dead for unknown reasons and stayed there all day.
On this day, as usual, Xilia took Lobach up the checkpoint wall. Looking at the gray interior of the Canyon of the Dead, he seemed to be waiting for something.
It seemed that we were lucky today. Before long, a figure rushed out of the Canyon of the Dead and did not stop at the city wall. He jumped onto the high city wall in a few seconds.
With a head of white hair mixed with a handful of red hair, the person coming is none other than the Empire’s highest combat power, Sword Master Barn!
Only strong men like Barn can move in and out freely without fear of the strong death energy in the Canyon of the Dead. If others dare to break in, they will probably be eroded to death by the death energy within a few steps, and will turn into...
Poor undead creature.
Seeing the return of Baan, Lobach rushed forward to greet Princess Xilia and asked: "Lord Baan, have you found Tianyi?"
Ever since Cleia took Ying Tianyi away that day and claimed that he could go to the Canyon of the Dead to find her if he had anything to do, Helia immediately changed direction and headed straight for the Canyon of the Dead instead of returning to the empire.
Lobach, who was left behind, was anxious to get to Ying Tianyi's side, so he followed Xilia.
Especially when Cyrus came back alone that night, he reported that Natalia had led others to defect from the empire and join the revolutionary army, which made Lobach extremely anxious.
Although she is also Ying Tianyi's woman, she knows very well that the status of Natalia and others in Ying Tianyi's heart is far beyond that of an old woman like her.
Now that Ying Tian was seriously injured and his whereabouts were unknown, if he learned about the departure of Natalia and others again, Lobach was really afraid that he would not be able to accept it and something would happen again.
What's even more outrageous is that Lobach used the communication crystal to contact Natalia, but Natalia only asked about Ying Tianyi's situation and said nothing about why she wanted to join the revolutionary army. Later, no matter how Lobach called
She and Natalya didn't respond at all, but Lobach was really angry.
Baan had long known that Lobach, the berserker who originally belonged to the Knights, was now the person next to Ying Tianyi. It was no wonder that she was rude and called Ying Tianyi by his name. She said with a gloomy look: "I'm going
I was in the Tower of Death, but I couldn't get in. I just heard a voice saying to me that Tianyi was undergoing treatment and it would take some time to recover."
That night, Barn learned that Ying Tianyi was seriously injured in an attack and was taken to the Canyon of the Dead by Cleia, so he rushed over without stopping. Because Ying Tianyi was too important to him, and it was related to whether he could see him again.
His wife Emily.
But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Canyon of the Dead, he heard that the death energy inside had increased sharply, the canyon was closed, and many adventurers staying inside did not know whether they were alive or dead.
However, there is also news that is not good news. Paladin Obes, who was taken away by Cleia before, was mysteriously sent to the entrance level of the canyon, and has been brought back to the cathedral for treatment by Archbishop Magello.
Thinking about it in Barn, since Oubeis, an outsider, can be safe, then Ying Tianyi should not be in any danger.
Unfortunately, Obeis remained unconscious, which prevented Baan from asking her for any information. He could only break into the deathly canyon of the dead alone to find traces of Ying Tianyi.
A few days after Baan entered the canyon, Princess Xilia and Lobach also arrived. However, they were not strong enough to enter the canyon, so they could only stay at the entrance and wait for news from Baan.
"Receive treatment?" Hearing Baan's words, Xilia asked in surprise: "Is it really the God of Death who is helping him? But why does the God of Death help Tianyi?"
In everyone's concept, the God of Death is a representative of darkness and a symbol of death. Although he will not take away other people's lives without reason, he will often play tricks on others because they are really boring.
For example, when the Canyon of the Dead was opened before, the God of Death seemed very generous, allowing adventurers to fight and get rewards based on their strength. But in the end, it was just playing with other people's lives, just like teasing a monkey with a banana.
Xilia really couldn't figure out why the God of Death wanted to help Ying Tianyi heal his injuries. Could it be that he had some conspiracy?
Although Baan also had many questions in his mind, he still said comfortingly: "The God of Death is a high-altitude god who is in charge of the underworld of the dead. For the God of Death, there is no distinction between good and evil, only likes and dislikes. Maybe Tianyi can get it
Only if you win the favor of the God of Death will you receive special care!"
No matter what other people guessed, Ying Tianyi didn't have time to pay attention to it at the moment because he was very busy.
On the top floor of the Tower of Death in the Canyon of the Dead, is the meeting room belonging to the gods of death.
The black round table in the middle was engraved with layers of mysterious magic arrays. It seemed that a gap had opened, and a steady stream of black flames burst out from the magic array, burning Ying Tianyi suspended in mid-air.
Yes, Ying Tianyi was busy making barbecue, but he was the piece of meat being grilled on the fire and personally participated in the entire barbecue process...
ps: In order to meet more powerful enemies, the protagonist's power will evolve. Master Huanyue expressed his private congratulations. After all, Ying Tianyi will stay in Master Huanyue's hands for half a month! (To be continued...)
