The battle outside the city has ended. Both the Imperial Guards and the Knights of Hell have entered the work of sweeping the battlefield and eliminating the remaining enemies. A small number of monsters have bypassed the defense line and entered the city, and they need to be dealt with quickly before they have caused large-scale damage. The earthquake has caused considerable losses, and if they suffer from fires or epidemics, it is unimaginable.
Faced with the devastated home, the residents really did not have the mood to celebrate, but knowing that His Majesty the Emperor and his army defeated the blood-colored meteors and giant beasts at the same time made them full of confidence in the future. Since the first blood-colored meteor, the long-lost sense of security has returned to their side - at least they can sleep well at night.
Everyone in Yongli Continent grew up listening to the stories of heroes. Most of those heroes are a mixture of devout believers, brave warriors and wise men. They now think that His Majesty the Emperor is such a person, saints, warriors and knowledgeable spell casters. In many ways, His Majesty the Emperor satisfies the various protagonist images such as "a noble young man who turns back, a brave knight who never retreats, a humble learner, and a believer who is favored by the goddess", just like a person who comes out of a legendary story. This victory this time solidifies this impression in people's hearts. Suddenly, all the actions of His Majesty the Emperor were understandable, and it turned out that he was always on the right path.
"Your Majesty is dead..."
When everyone heard this news, they buzzed in their minds and couldn't believe it. But everyone actually had an idea deep in their hearts: the Terasquin giant beast is so terrifying, it is impossible to defeat it without paying a price. From the perspective of victory to the price, many people are already skeptical at this time. Although His Majesty the Emperor is a magician and a saint, he is not a god, but just a person. How can a person change the world if he is strong? If he is killed, it is not impossible.
"Go to the south of the city to see. What if His Majesty the Emperor did not die, but needed our help?"
Some people went to the south of the city and came together to the big pit left by the six-pointed star formation. There were still magic fluctuations left by space spells. Even those who did not know how to cast the spell could feel the sense of crisis that their scalp was numb. The remains of the meteor were teleported to hell with Terrasqui, but the burning smell left by it passing through the sky was still spread around.
The emperor's sword was inserted in the center of the wreckage, the blade was shining, the sword body was slightly slanted, and the swimming thunder surrounded it, guarding the battlefield alone. People walked down the slope, searched everywhere, and shouted at His Majesty the Emperor. After finding nothing in the ruins, they also came to the surroundings of the Killing Divine Sword.
"His Majesty the Emperor may have really encountered misfortune." Someone said: "Take Your Majesty's sword to the Queen..."
Immediately, the brave man walked up and extended his big furry hand to the pit sword. This behavior immediately attracted a counterattack, and a lightning shot out from the pit sword, causing the hand to remove hair for free. The hand that exuded the smell of burnt hair made the others take a step back.
"This is the emperor's sword, only the emperor can pick it up." This view was immediately recognized by everyone. There were many similar legends in the past, such as the shield of a certain saint hero only protects kind and devout believers. After the devil snatched it away, he attracted the thunder of God's punishment, and there was only one death ending.
"Let us go and find His Majesty the Queen as soon as possible, only she knows..."
"What does she know? Can she defeat the Terasquin monster like His Majesty the Emperor? You all know what happened to the last blood-colored meteor..." Someone expressed everyone's concern in an anxious tone: "His Majesty the Emperor is gone, who can protect us? What should I do next blood-colored meteor?"
"We also have the Hell Knights! They defeated hundreds of monsters in the north of the city! And there was only one giant beast, and His Majesty the Emperor had already destroyed it! Those meteors descending from the sky knocked down the giant beast and killed it, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"What if there are still giant beasts? It's not necessarily the Terrasque monster. Even if it's a little weaker than that, it's not something the Knights of Hell can deal with, right?"
"If there was no His Majesty the Emperor, could the Hell Knights still guarantee their combat effectiveness? Aren't their magic guns invented and created by His Majesty the Emperor? Who will lead them in the future? Who can fight bloody battles with the enemy like His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Whoever can pick up the emperor's sword will inherit the emperor's power."
Hum? This idea is very interesting. Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't know who said this idea first, it was very consistent with everyone's memory of various childhood stories. Whether it was saints, heroes, nobles or knights, there was a meaning of inheritance, and their most important relics were often the tokens of inheritance. The carry-on sword used by His Majesty the Emperor to kill the giant Terasqui beast was very consistent with this standard. Especially, it did not allow irrelevant people to touch it, and was still protecting itself with the sacred thunder. This is obviously a sign of inheritance.
"Report to Your Majesty the Queen so that we can hear the official news. But I think His Majesty the Queen may not be able to draw out the Emperor's sword."
"Does Your Majesty the Emperor have children?"...
A group of people gathered around the Sword of the Pit and suddenly began to care about the inheritance of the empire. Several more people tried to get the sword, but were all knocked back by the expected lightning, which made them even more talked about. "Putting up the Sword of the Sword and inheriting the will" suddenly became a "recognized" fact, although this recognized "public" was only limited to nearly a hundred people around the Sword of the Pit and the Sword of the Pit.
Feiqi and Shani were busy saving people from the ruins of the palace. He was not in good condition, so except for commanding a few elemental creatures to work and searching for survivors with the phantom snake, all his energy was spent on restoring mana. He continued to cast hell healing spells, drinking some wound medicines brewed from time to time, so that the broken arm would grow slowly. The pain began to subside, and the strong numbness and itchy feeling invaded again. Although it was even more unbearable than the pain, it was at least a good phenomenon.
With the help of magic, the rescue work of the palace was completed quickly, and Shani wanted to go to the city to save more people. "Of course we have to do this." Feiqi agreed: "Now we have liberated a lot of people, organize, take out the food and clothes stored in the palace, and distribute them while rescue."
"Do you want to rest? I see that the sweat on your forehead has not stopped after you come back." Shani said with heartache.
"It's a good thing that I'm sweating in my current state. It's a recovery process." Feiqi shook his head, then took a big mouthful of the harvest horn, and said, "Now is the golden time to save people, don't waste it. But in addition to saving people, it's also very important to restore order in the city as soon as possible. Let's go to the west of the city to see if we can meet with the Hell Knights, and the Magic School is there."
There is only one force, so you have to choose a direction. The west of the city is not more noble than other directions, but the efficiency will be higher. Feiqi seizes time to rest, so he handed over the matter of organizing the palace personnel to form a rescue team to Shani. At this moment, the Minister of Finance, Goode, rushed over with sweat and hurriedly, and his eyes were full of surprise when he saw Feiqi.
He rushed up, knelt down with a thud, and raised his head back with a bright smile after touching the ground. "Your Majesty, you are still alive, that's great!"
"I'm still alive, and I think it's good." Feiqi pulled the Chancellor up with one hand. "Don't knock it down suddenly, especially to protect your head. There are many occasions to use it in the future!"
"Haha, it's okay, I won't hurt my brain at a loss." Goode reached out to touch the dust on his forehead, and it ended up mixed with sweat, leaving several black marks on his forehead. "Your Majesty, has the giant beast been killed?"
"That thing cannot be killed," Fitch said. "Don't worry, I'll teleport it to other worlds and will not harass us again. Even if it comes again, I have a way to deal with it. This time, I have a more understanding of space spells, especially the relationship between space and other forces, energy and rules."
"Uh, I don't understand the spells, but I know to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor." Goode tilted his head and saw Shani who was dressing up. "Is His Majesty the Queen preparing for disaster relief? This is great. Such an action can greatly increase prestige. What do I need to do?"
"Have you settled at home?"
"Goddess blessed me, my house was just a crack in the earthquake. Everyone was frightened and there was no other problem. It was just that the city was inconvenient, so I arrived a little late."
"It's okay for people to arrive." Feiqi said: "I asked Sam to go to the city to see the situation. He hasn't come back yet, so I've been worried about you all this time. I was injured this time and couldn't run around with teleportation, otherwise I would have been to your house to see the situation long ago."
"Your Majesty, do you want to come and have a look with your arm?"
"It has been treated and there will be no sequelae after the recovery period." Feiqi raised his hand and pointed to Yamashita and said, "Look, Sam is here. Seeing that his expression is not very good, is something wrong?"
Sam ran over and over, and the white horse he rode down the mountain had turned completely gray. He jumped down without waiting for a steady state, hurried to Fitch, and said, "Your Majesty, someone is in a rebellion in the south of the city!"
"What?" Feiqi was very surprised. "Who would rebel when I win? Is this a ill mind? Where is the Imperial Guard? Where is the Knights of Hell? Do I need to deal with any rebellion myself?"
"I also heard from the street that whoever can pull up your sword is the heir to your will." Sam swallowed and said, "I don't hear it very clearly, and it may be a will..."
"I guess I thought I was dead, and then the monsters emerged." Feiqi snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Have you seen Mathers? Where is his minstrel? And Eddie, what is the working group doing, why don't you report? Even if you don't know where I am, don't you know where the Queen is?"
Goode's forehead was covered with sweat again, and the black fingerprints were washed out from the previous vertical lines. He heard the emperor's hidden anger, and after hesitating for a moment, he felt that he still wanted to save his colleague. "Your Majesty, the city has been blocked by an earthquake, and there are still many places where the fires are caught. The key is that the situation is unclear and I don't know where to connect, so it's very slow."
"The people who spoke strange words came to the ruins of the battlefield in the south of the city, but the working group could not reach it? The Knights of Hell have to defend, so what about the Imperial Guards? It is said that the Knights of Hell are loyal to the emperor and the guards are loyal to the empire. Now it seems that there is a difference!" Feiqi became more and more angry, and his shoulders began to ache again. He took two deep breaths, slowed down his expression a little, and then shouted to the busy queen: "Shani, I will go to the south of the city with Good and Sam, get my sword back, and then meet with you in the west of the city."
"Okay, you go first. It will take some time for me to leave so quickly. Be careful with your own safety." Shani waved and continued to be busy.
When Feiqi turned around, his face was already a little gloomy. He summoned the cat-knitting stick, used it as a cane, and walked slowly down the mountain. Sam led the horse and wanted Feiqi to sit on it, but was stopped by Good. The three of them had only one horse, Feiqi rode away by himself, and the other two chased him with their legs? If you walk for a while, it might be a better choice to let Feiqi calm down.
The emperor's guards quickly followed. They were all protecting the queen before, but now they are back to their duties. At the foot of the mountain, Mathers, who had his head wrapped around, came late, but it was better than not. He also brought a message that the earthquake caused cracks in the embankment of the canal north of the city. Eddie took some people from the working group to check the situation. It is said that the Tibetan girl also supported some spell casters who were proficient in civil construction spells and followed them together.
Mathers was also very surprised at what happened in the south of the city. He was hit in the head when the earthquake occurred. He woke up not long ago with the help of the healing potion and had not yet grasped the city's intelligence. His spies were divided by this disaster and were in a state of difficulty in supporting each other. "But I promise, my people would never dare to convey any rumors about His Majesty, so if there was really such rebellious words in the south of the city, they would never spread!"
"The key is who got this head and what intention is it!" Feiqi squeezed out this sentence from the gaps in his teeth.
He fought against the Terrasque monster alone on the front line, and at the same time he killed the mutation. When he turned around, someone wanted to establish an heir for him? The battle with the Second World had not yet been completely won, so he wanted to pick the fruit? No, this was not picking, but robbing it! Feiqi hated the most of this kind of person stabbed from the back, and he would never tolerate this phenomenon.
But for Goode, he could breathe a sigh of relief. In his opinion, Fitch should have chosen the counterattack method of "only punishing the evil ones", which is a good thing. Any king or emperor should immediately suppress the rebellion, but the merciful and just rulers will carefully choose the punishment method. It is very important to show strength and show kindness. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has not been blinded by anger.
In Tawugang City, Feiqi encountered the Imperial Guard and the Hell Knights who were surrounding monsters, and also met citizens who were rescuing disasters. The reappearance of His Majesty the Emperor made their morale high and also hit the monsters' fighting will. The Guard and the Knights wanted to join and protect His Majesty the Emperor, but Feiqi asked them to continue to destroy the monsters and did not let them follow.
"Protect my people." Feiqi said to them: "I will join you after completing the finale outside the city. The queen is already preparing disaster relief supplies. You can obey her orders. We will do our best to survive this disaster. I believe that now is the worst time, and it will only get better and better in the future!"
