Inno XVII still wanted to continue to be emperor.
Therefore, he would rather suffer in the palace than go out and announce what is called a summer vacation but is actually a plan to run away.
His brothers, sisters, nephews and grandnephews are all very ambitious.
Although he became emperor with the compromise of the elders and the support of a certain Holy Lord clan figure, he had only been on the throne for a few years and the power of his direct line was weak.
And the big man who relied on him was said to have died in the catastrophe of the invasion from another continent.
If he really takes the blame for abandoning the country and the country, he will wait until the invaders from other continents are rejected.
He believed that those careerists would definitely not admit that the situation was critical and had to be like this.
Under the righteousness, not only is it difficult for him to protect his throne, but he is also afraid that he will be killed!
So, in the palace, Inno XVII chose to continue crying.
The generals and ministers' patience reached the limit. After looking at each other, they all set off to force the palace.
But a layer of golden light suddenly appeared in the palace, blocking them.
"It's the guardian golden light, one of the relics of the Morning Star!"
A general was slightly startled and whispered: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty could really conquer this relic of the Morning Star. He is quite talented."
"What should we do? We can't break this golden light unless we use a special trick."
A minister changed his expression slightly and said: "But the palace must not cause a big fight. This..."
"That's all, let's sign together." The leading minister sighed softly, glanced around, and found many officials from various major forces who were hiding and quietly watching, and snorted coldly:
"Everyone in the imperial capital who eats the royal food must sign up for me to support His Majesty in leaving the imperial capital to escape the summer heat!"
"Yes, that's how it should be done!"
The generals pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
So the next moment, the palace door was opened, and King Innuo XVII, with some red and swollen eyes, walked out quickly, enjoying himself with his courtiers, and not long after they treated each other like guests.
The residents of this largest city in the Sage Continent suddenly learned that their emperor was leaving the imperial capital with his ministers for a few days to go to the royal family's Longxing Land to escape the summer heat.
Then, many smart residents noticed that an unusual atmosphere enveloped the entire imperial capital.
Prices skyrocketed in a short period of time.
Almost all stores controlled by the powerful, such as grain shops and oil shops, have closed their doors.
The eight city gates of the imperial capital were suddenly filled with traffic. I don't know where so many large carriages or giant beast-drawn carriages appeared on the streets, queuing up to wait to leave the city.
The junior officers responsible for monitoring found that all airships were busy.
The floating fortress, known as the mobile fortress of the imperial capital, was also ordered to land at the palace to facilitate the transfer of assets by royal personnel.
The officers looked at the mountains of supplies in the palace square with confusion, and some doubted whether the palace would be emptied if they continued to be moved like this, causing the floating fortress to be overweight and unable to fly...
But soon they no longer had such worries.
Because as the setting sun shone over the extremely busy imperial capital.
More than a dozen floating fortresses flew to the imperial capital from different directions and landed around the palace to receive personnel and supplies.
"This... something big is going to happen!"
These junior officers have little knowledge.
But after hanging around in the imperial capital for so long, they still know a lot of secrets that ordinary people don't understand.
Those floating fortresses, you can almost guess where they were brought from just by looking at their shapes.
And those places are either fortresses to suppress aliens, or some key strongholds with special resources.
As the empire's most powerful war weapon, the floating fortress plays the role of a sea-fixing needle in those places.
Suddenly everyone was mobilized.
This made these officers wonder.
Combined with the propaganda of the past few days to resist the invasion of enemies from other continents.
The officers couldn't help but swallowed quietly.
"Could it be that the front line has collapsed?" Finally, a low-level officer at a certain outpost whispered his worries.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the outpost.
Even the leader didn't stop him for a while.
Because he was also wondering and worried.
He didn't understand. He was from a noble family after all, so why didn't he hear anything about it?
Little did he know that the speed at which Xiao Yu's army was advancing frightened the top brass of the empire, making them worry that soon those incredibly fast and unstoppable giant steel beasts would appear outside the imperial capital!
Therefore, their escape plan is mainly direct, simple and crude.
In order not to be affected by the evacuation plan, the senior officials have reached a consensus.
After they all boarded the ship or the floating fortress, some information was given to those left behind through projection.
Let them arrange their escape route.
Not long after arriving at the floating fortress, Marshal Shuma arrived on a giant blue dragon with the Dragon Envoy.
After arriving in the Imperial Capital, Marshal Shuma twitched his lips, knowing what choices the senior officials in the Imperial Capital made after receiving the detailed battle report.
But, is this choice really useful?
Marshal Shuma shook his head.
I don't think this is reliable.
Before he and the Dragon Master came back, they visited a wizard academy in the empire.
It is an extraordinary force second only to the Holy Lord clan, and the dean is a highly respected person. It is said that he was once the mentor of a Morning Star wizard, so he has a transcendent status.
After Marshal Shima visited his secret realm, he was shocked to learn that the dean was not optimistic about the predictions made by many great wizards.
He believed that none of the giant's troops had the aura of being repulsed by the mainland's will.
Although I don't know how the giant did it.
But the dean is worried that the terrifying power of the giants is likely to last forever in the Saint Continent!
Once such speculation comes true.
The nobles' current behavior only makes their deaths more embarrassing.
"This is really..."
"The army is defeated like a mountain, and the survivors are in doom!"
Marshal Shuma shook his head and looked at the Dragon Controller next to him:
"I'm ready to go down and take over the position of temporary city lord."
"With my status and qualifications, they are eager to leave it to me to stabilize the poor people's hearts in the imperial capital."
"Are you...preparing to surrender?" The Dragon Master blinked and asked.
"I plan to evacuate the civilians, then gather those who are willing to die, and fight a good battle with the help of the Morning Star wizards left in the imperial capital."
Marshal Shuma said:
"Winning or losing, at least after such a battle, we, the people of the Saint Continent, can be looked at in a more serious light by the warriors from other continents."
"In the future, if someone from the Saint Continent comes to serve that giant, he may not be despised and lose the opportunity."
The Royal Dragon Envoy looked at Marshal Shuma seriously and shrugged:
"I've known you for so long, and I always thought you were just an old-fashioned old man."
"I didn't expect you to plan to be a hero."
"Well...I'm not interested in being a hero."
The Dragon Controlling Envoy suddenly smiled and said, "But, my lord marshal."
"Your heroic dream may have a happy ending."
"Huh?" Marshal Shuma was slightly startled and was about to ask why.
Around the imperial capital, space fluctuations suddenly formed, like a whirlpool, causing obvious abnormalities in the sky.
Immediately, there was a roar of dragons.
The colorful dragon broke through the space barrier and descended on this world!
The leader's body looks like it is made of bronze, and its body is exaggeratedly over three hundred meters long. With its wings spread, it is as tall as a mountain.
Chapter completed!
