Chapter 85 The End of the Road

Li Shilongtu is a hero, struggling to do something in the turbulent era, but he is standing on the opposite side of the tide, whether he is a piece of paper or a hard stone, it is the same for the tide of the times.

In the distance, from the direction of the imperial capital, there was a faint sound of trumpets, bleak and desolate, like an elegy for the era that was about to end,

With the sound of the horn, the gate of the imperial capital slowly opened, and a team of black-clothed and black-armored knights poured out from inside, it was the Praetorian Cavalry of the Iron Triangle Empire, they had obviously just discovered the battle situation here, so they sent the Praetorian Guard Knights to investigate,

Richard only had 400 knights under his command, and the Praetorian Guards cavalry out of the city had 3,000 horsemen.

Looking at the galloping Imperial Janissary cavalry, Richard squatted down in front of Li Shilongtu's corpse, smoothed out a crease on his placket, and whispered: "With your identity, there should be more people to accompany you to the funeral." ”

After speaking, Richard stood up and flew on the Fen Brain, this time the Split Brain did not rise into the air, but crawled on the ground as fast as a mount, the speed was not much slower than that of the Demon Horse, and the four hundred knights followed Richard and rumbled to meet the Praetorian Guards,

Although the difference in strength between the two sides is close to one to ten, Richard's knights don't care about the difference in numbers at all, behind Richard, there are a hundred knights in costume and three hundred knights in the dark,

Outside the gate of the imperial capital, two torrents of steel collided fiercely, and then, it was a one-sided slaughter,

After only a moment of fierce fighting, almost all of the three thousand Praetorian Guards cavalry were killed, and only a few dozen horsemen were able to escape from the battlefield, while Richard's side only lost a few dozen Darkblade Knights, and several other Constructed Knights were wounded.

Richard ordered the whole team to repair in place, and at the same time restrained the knights who wanted to chase out, he looked at the behemoth squatting on the horizon in the distance, the sky was gradually darkening, most of the imperial capital was hidden in the shadows, like a behemoth, quietly watching the occurrence in front of him, in the past it gave people the impression of majesty and depth, but tonight, it made people feel a burst of sadness for no reason,

Richard waited quietly, but until the night was completely closed, there was no sound in the direction of the imperial capital,

Richard stepped on the split brain, floated away, and the knights joined the large army on their own, at this moment the battle on the other side of the battlefield has long ended, and the pursuit of the remnants of the enemy is also nearing the end, and at this time the emperor ** team still left on the battlefield is the most iron-blooded and tenacious group of people, most of them still chose to fight to the death when they knew that they would be defeated, and only thousands of people escaped,

At this point, all the main legions of the Iron Triangle Empire, except for the two border legions stationed on the eastern front to defend against the dragon cultists and the Praetorian Guard corps stationed in the imperial capital all the year round, have been completely wiped out, and the remnants of the fleeing army may be able to be reorganized into two or three legions, but it is not a matter of time and a half, and the private armies of the nobles around the country may still be able to be entangled into a resistance force, but after losing the two famous generals Li Shilongtu and Sarenwell, the empire has been unable to find a commander who can lead the overall situation,

After the battle of the Divine Cry Pass, it can be said that the Iron Triangle Empire has been crippled, and when the news spreads in the human realm, many people can't believe that this behemoth empire, which has a long history, has opened up the sea a few years ago, and is preparing to move towards a wider territory, has come to an end in such a light.

When Richard flew back to the original battlefield, the battle here was over, most of the knights dismounted and did the most basic battlefield cleanup, Richard immediately asked a small team of Darkblade Knights to take all the constructed knights to the front to find a suitable campsite, while the team of humanoid knights and Darkblade knights stayed,

When the Constructed Knight left, these brood combat units immediately dragged the carcasses of the horses together and began to divide and eat, as brood troops, they didn't need to cook food at all, and they didn't care about the taste, so the supply pressure of Richard's army was exceptionally light,

Richard flew around the sky with his distraction, selected a plain about ten kilometers away from the battlefield, as the camp of the follow-up principality army, and then flew back to his knights.

The humanoid knights and the dark-edged knights of the brigade are like fighter jets, silently taking turns to eat, and those who are full go to continue to tidy up the battlefield, and the followers present all know the existence of the brood, so the whispering function used by these combat units as a cover is all put aside, and the whole time is silent,

At this moment, a long hiss came, the holy unicorn ran like silver lightning, and the big head kept rubbing on Richard's body, it was different from other combat units of the brood, but a special unit with a soul like Crimson, Richard could clearly feel its attachment and dissatisfaction with himself, this time back to Faro, Richard due to the improvement of his personal strength, most of the time by the split brain maneuver, the holy unicorn let it move freely, which is equivalent to being used as a follower, which is obviously caused

its dissatisfaction,

At this moment, the sacred unicorn has become a behemoth, the height of its back alone is more than two meters, the silver unicorn in front of its forehead is close to one meter long, and the tip will flash a strange silver light from time to time, Richard patted its head, just wanted to comfort two words, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, it seemed that there were some signs of instability in the surrounding space, and the divine unicorn also raised its head, stared in the direction of the imperial capital, and let out a low roar,

Richard's eyes shone brightly, and under the insight, he did catch some traces of the unstable spatial structure, and he followed the tracks, which was the direction leading to the imperial capital, although the imperial capital was no longer visible here, but he could see that the clouds in that direction were significantly thicker, and slowly rotated, like a huge whirlpool hanging upside down,

Richard, who often shuttles between planes, knows very well that it is an out-of-phase caused by powerful beings crossing the plane.

Norland has established a perfect plane war system, and magicians who are proficient in space science can construct plane passages, and with the power of the dragon of eternity and time, they can suppress the influence fluctuations caused by crossing the plane to a fairly low level, so as not to attract too much attention from the powerful beings of the different planes.

If you don't use the power of the Eternal Dragon Palace, then except for a very few people with special skills, whether it is a legal or a warrior, they will have violent fluctuations when they cross over to the target plane, thus triggering an anomaly similar to a natural disaster, and the lower the power system of the target plane, the more obvious the vision will be.

Richard frowned and thought about how could Faro, who was in a completely enclosed plane, suddenly have such obvious signs of crossing space, and he calculated in his heart that under the distant clouds was where the capital of the Iron Triangle Empire was located, so he thought about it and ordered: "Let Sarenwell come to see me immediately." ”

It didn't take long for a split brain to fly to Richard's side with Sarenwell, the future emperor of the Iron Triangle Empire's face was obviously not good, and he squatted on the ground and retched for a while after a split brain, and gave himself a calm and pacifying technique, which relieved his senses, the advantage of flying with a split brain is that it is fast enough, and the disadvantage is that it is definitely not comfortable, not to mention that Sarenwell's power cannot stand on the split brain, so it is suspended under the split brain and is transported,

"Sarenwell, can the Iron Triangle Empire be connected to a strong person, a powerful creature outside the plane, or some special god? Richard asked,

Sarenwell was stunned for a moment, and after asking the reason, his face immediately became solemn, and he said: "The empire does still have many secrets, but they are all in the hands of the current emperor and the imperial elders, what I can know is actually quite limited, I have only heard that the empire has been secretly preparing for hundreds of years in order to prevent the invasion of star beasts again. ”

Richard asked a few more words, and saw that Sarenwell really didn't know anything, so he nodded and asked him to go back and continue to reorganize the army, when the imperial capital was defeated, it would be Sarenwell and the original emperor ** team he incorporated that would be stationed and occupied, no matter what was in the imperial capital, when Richard's army arrived, he would naturally know,

At this moment, in the imperial capital, deep under the palace, the elderly emperor was walking along the long passage, his steps were extremely heavy, and half an hour later, he finally walked to the end of the passage, pushed open a huge door, and an amazingly tall and magnificent hall appeared in front of him,

This hall has a radius of 100 meters, tens of meters high, through the dome countless criss-crossing metal beams, you can see the craggy rocks, this hall should be rebuilt from a natural cave, along the wall is a whole row of metal pillars with a thickness of one meter, tens of meters high, supporting the entire dome,

In the center of the main hall, a huge altar was built, dozens of sacrificial-like figures were busy around, at the feet of the priests, a young man with a pale face was tied, he was constantly struggling, but his mouth was tightly gagged, and he could only let out many unconscious whines,

"陛xià, a qiē is ready. An elder priest greeted the emperor and whispered,

The emperor nodded and strode up to the altar, the young man saw the emperor, his eyes suddenly lit up with hope, and he struggled to rush over, but the two strong priests behind him firmly pressed him, so that the young man could not break free at all,

The emperor walked up to the young man, looked at him deeply, sighed, and said, "Let's begin." ”

Eighteen priests pulled a chain from the ground at the same time, and when the eighteen chains reached the end, the altar shook and roared, and the central part continued to sink, forming a deep pool ten meters square and several meters deep.

Several cracks opened on the wall of the pool, and then a large stream of crimson blood gushed out of the opening, injected into the pool, the blood level slowly rose, the emperor's face was cloudy, the taste of blood was thick and pungent, and there was a faint sweet fragrance, this is the blood mixed between the ice mammoth and the frost ice giant, and it is also the most critical medium for the next ritual,
