Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 387 Returning to the city

  Major Isaac is the commander of the army that prevented the queen from returning to the city. He looked at the meteorite that was attacking the army formation he commanded, and couldn't help but think back to the battle that wiped out the abyss mage.

  At that time, I was still a lieutenant colonel, and I thought I could be promoted to a general by virtue of my military exploits, but for some reason, the eldest prince was upset, and instead of being promoted, my rank was dropped by one rank.

  Tonight, the First Prince is going to launch a coup d'état and officially enthroned as the Emperor of the Golden Shield Empire. The task he received was to deploy defenses on the north side of the imperial capital to prevent the queen from returning to the palace.

  I thought it was impossible for the queen to break out from the interception of the Northern Army Corps. I was neglected and missed the grand prince's enthronement ceremony. I guess I will retire as a major in the future.

  But never expected that the queen would appear so close to the imperial capital.

   It seems that the goddess of luck is still looking after me!

  Major Isaac rode on a horse and stood at the forefront of the army with a saber in his hand. The musketeers and crossbowmen have already started shooting, but long-range attacks of this level cannot penetrate the magic shield released by the opponent at all.

  The dragon-like creature summoned by Meteor launched an attack on the airship in the air. The god-like oppression of Longwei and Meteor made some soldiers waver.

   After all, it was the queen of the empire that was intercepting. Although the soldiers obeyed the orders, they still couldn't let go of their awe of the imperial family.

   "Spirit boosting magic preparation!"

  Major Isaac, who noticed the change in the morale of the army, did not order the magic projectile to fire attack magic at the meteorite and the queen, but prepared to use spiritual magic to stabilize the morale of the army.

   Alchemy shells were fired forward from the back formation, and exploded together when they flew above the army formation. The waterfall-like magic particles sprinkled down, the soldiers' spirits were concentrated at a high level, the will to fight overwhelmed wild thoughts, and the wavering military spirit was immediately strengthened.

   "Prepare for the **** magic of war!"

  Another round of war magic was cast, and red rays of light emerged from the soldiers. The high fighting spirit and murderousness were stimulated, and the pain and fatigue were greatly reduced.

   Shouts erupted from their throats unconsciously, and fighting and killing became the only thoughts of the soldiers at this time.

  The murderous resonance formed a forward air wave, rolled up the smoke and dust on the ground, and pressed against the charging meteor.

  Facing the ready army, Luke rode his horse and charged at a constant speed. This kind of situation is what he has always wanted to avoid. If a team is well-trained, multi-armed, and has enough magic blessings, if there are a few more powerful fighters hidden in it, it is really impossible for him to rush through.

   Fortunately, the focus of the eldest prince Fania is in the palace, and the speed of himself and Queen Christina is fast enough. It can be seen that there are not many specially strengthened soldiers in the intercepting army, and it should be too late to call in powerful units.

   Some fight!

  Luke glanced at the sky, Taotie shuttled quickly between the three airships, there were many mages on the airships, and chaotic magic intertwined in the air. With its agile flight and good magic resistance, Taotie can deal with the three airships with ease. Even if it can't sink them all in a short time, it can still entangle them so that they can't cooperate with the ground attack.

  Feeling Luke's encouragement, the excited Taotie turned around, and after avoiding the continuous magic, he took another breath of the dragon at the airship that had been severely damaged.

  The steam airbag of the airship was severely damaged, and it dropped uncontrollably. The Taotie flipped in the air and bit at the back to attack continuously.

  Luke turned his head and glanced at Queen Christina who was following behind, and found that the queen was also looking at him. The bullets and arrows sparked on her unfolded shield, but they couldn't hide the light in her eyes.

   This favorability is a bit fast!

  Luke returned his mind to the battle, he turned his head, and the shield wall was close in front of him, and spears protruded from behind the shield. There are also alchemy shells fired from the rear, and the target is himself...

  The light activated by the magic is transmitted from the lines of the alchemy shell, and the power squeezed inside is about to be released.

  Luke didn't care about the alchemy shells that were about to fall, he stabbed out the dragon spear, a fire dragon rushed out amidst lightning and thunder, and hit the front shield wall.

  At this time, a series of small flying objects flew obliquely from the air. They hit the alchemy shells precisely like interceptor bombs. The alchemy shell detonated in the air, and the chaotic and turbulent magic energy formed a space-distorted black hole at the explosion location.

   Immediately afterwards, four girls with different hairstyles and colors appeared in the air. They were carrying auxiliary flight airbags and surrounded by several steel needles with a length of 20 centimeters.

  One war machine leaped high and fell heavily into the army formation, and chopped down another war machine from the middle.

  The pilot of the War Machine is a girl with pink twintails. She waved to Luke who rushed into the formation: "Boss Meteor, Miss Weather Sky asked us to help. It seems that our beautiful girl boiling team came in time."

   It was Sandpaper and her sisters who appeared in time. War Machine Boiling simply waved to Luke as a greeting, and then opened the way ahead with his legs and long knives.

  Kestrels, blue doves, egrets, and gray geese fly at low altitude, using their powerful mental power and perception, and using medium-range attacks to suppress the soldiers on the ground.

  The battle mode of the beautiful girl boiling team has been formed. War Machine Boiling is the core of the team's offense and defense, and Sandpaper, as the team's center, uses the telepathy between the sisters to build a shared perception network for the team.

  Kestrels, blue doves, egrets, and gray geese serve as the mobile force of the team, making up for the shortcomings of the war machine, allowing him to unleash the most violent side without any scruples.

  The boiling team of beautiful girls, who would have a headache even in a clear sky match, has just appeared.

  Let Luke do nothing instead.

  In the army formation, the boiling swords of the war machine were flying and sinking, and everything they passed was completely broken. The energy cannons on the shoulders fired intermittently, and each cannon blasted out a column of smoke that soared into the sky, setting off pieces of scattered limbs.

   Under the command of sandpaper, the beautiful girls gather and disperse in a certain way, or disperse the defense, or concentrate the attack, like a fully automatic floating cannon accompanied by the boiling of war.

  This elite unit of the City Guard Corps, who has never seen such an integrated combat team, was killed and collapsed in a blink of an eye.

  Luke didn't chase them either, and let the war boil to open the way. He and Queen Christina continued to rush towards the city of St. Lun.

  There was a dragon's neighing in the air, and Taotie swooped down on Luke. In the process of falling, its body shrunk rapidly, and it rushed straight into the back of Luke's hand in a daze.

  The three airships in the sky were burning with fire and fell to the ground in the distance. In the western sky, the sun was setting, and the burning clouds were as bright as blood.

  Luke, Queen Christina, and the Boiling Squad disappear into the falling night.

  The battlefield that was fighting just now became quiet.

  Major Isaac was crushed under the corpse of a horse, he looked up at the rising moon, his eyes were empty, and his chest was a **** hole.

   The snow that had stopped for a day fell again, and soon the corpses all over the ground were submerged under the snowdrifts.

  In the city of St. Lun, the city guards who suddenly entered the city in the evening braved the wind and snow and occupied the streets and city government facilities, announcing a curfew. No one is allowed to leave the house, and the city sheriff is home on vacation.

  As if knowing that this matter would definitely happen, all departments of the city cooperated surprisingly, and there was almost no conflict during the entire handover process.

   Only the neighborhoods near Rose Manor had less serious fighting. The Imperial Secret Service prevented the City Guard Corps from taking over, and the City Guard Corps did not launch a storm, and the two sides formed a confrontation in a certain area.

  In the Rose Manor, Princess Agatha sat in her study, listening to the news brought by the spies.

  Most of the court officials, as well as the cabinet, made it clear that they would not be leaders. If the eldest prince succeeds in ascending the throne, they will meet the new emperor tomorrow.

   If the First Prince fails, it is his own death.

   The empire was still the empire of the great Augustine the Great.

  The law does not blame the public, everyone will act as if nothing happened tomorrow, and do what should be done.

   "His Royal Highness, the city guards surrounded the palace. The royal knights and palace guards did not stop them, and they all retreated into the palace.

   Knight Millscomb was guarding outside His Majesty's bedroom, and no news from His Majesty came out. "

   "His Royal Highness the First Prince left the Silver Manor and drove towards the palace in a car under the **** of the guards."

   "His Royal Highness the First Prince arrived at the palace, and all the ministers and nobles who supported the First Prince gathered outside the palace."

   "The eldest prince asked the palace to lift the barrier, but there was no response from the palace."

   "The eldest prince once again asked the palace to lift the barrier, but there was no response from the palace."

   "The eldest prince asked for the third time to remove the barrier, and expressed threats... The palace barrier is being removed!"

  When the enchantment of the palace is lifted, the eldest prince Fania can lead his troops straight into the palace, and the people of Milcombe can't stop him at all.

  Is the Imperial Secret Service going to be dispatched?

   At this time, a large number of imperial spies had gathered in Rose Manor, and they rushed out to attack the city guards who were launching a coup d'état as soon as the eldest princess gave an order.

  The personal female officer suggested: "Your Highness, if you don't act now, I'm afraid there will be no chance."

  Agatha glanced at the door of the study, she had ordered; Meteor can come in without notification.

   However, there is no news about the meteorite yet.

"Order…"

   Agatha, who couldn't wait any longer, was about to give an order when the door was suddenly pushed open. Luke came in, took off his hat and threw it to the magistrate, and asked again: "Where is Fania now?"

"The news just came that he is outside the palace, and the palace has lifted the barrier." Agatha immediately replied when she saw Luke's expression raised, and then saw Queen Christina coming in behind Meteor, and saluted: " Your Royal Highness, welcome back to the imperial capital."

  Queen Christina returned the salute to Agatha: "We came in time."

With a dry mouth, Luke first took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and took a big sip, then said: "There is no need to talk about greetings. Fania needs the city guards to control the entire palace before entering. We still have time...Irrelevant personnel please go out." !"

   Agatha nodded, and the female officer left the room with the servants and guards, and closed the door.

  Luke found a chair and sat down, and said to Agatha: "As for who will rule the empire tomorrow, I think Miss Weatherlight should tell Your Highness."

   Agatha looked at Queen Christina, and said to Luke: "But Miss Skylight didn't explain it clearly. I want to know what happened to the royal father."

"It's only appropriate for me to tell you about this matter..." Luke told Agatha again the reason why Augustine the Great had not seen outsiders for so long: "...Of course I hope that His Majesty can complete the body strengthening safely, but it is still not enough to delay it until now." Not completed, indicating that the success rate is extremely low, or has failed.

  We may have to face a Heroic creature claiming to be Augustine. "

  This information is indeed too explosive for Agatha.

   "As a daughter, I can accept that my father is a heroic spirit. But a heroic emperor is definitely a disaster for the empire."

  Luke nodded and said: "No matter how you whitewash it, the heroic spirit is a vassal of the angelic civilization. I am afraid that no one in the empire can accept it. The empire is a vassal of the angelic civilization."

   "So you want to elect our queen as the new emperor of the empire... Do you think the court ministers and the nobles of the empire will agree?"

   "Of course they won't agree." Luke said: "If we can stop Fania tonight...Emperor Augustine will issue an order, and a queen will continue to supervise the state affairs.

  As long as you and Knight Millscombe claim that this order was given by His Majesty himself, it will be a matter of course for Her Highness the Queen to return to the palace and continue supervising the country. "

   Agatha looked at Luke and Queen Christina, and asked after a while, "Why her?"

Luke said: "Since the establishment of the empire, the Kingdom of Lucien has been very active in intermarriage with the Augustine royal family. In history, a total of sixteen princesses of the Kingdom of Lucien married princes of the Golden Shield Empire, and five of them were from the Empire. Queen.

  Another six imperial princesses were married to the royal family of the Kingdom of Lusien, all of whom were queens.

  During the time of King Lusien XVI, there was a death curse incident in Lusien Palace, and King Lusien XVI had no heirs in his life. In the end, the throne of Lusien was inherited by Lusien XVI's nephew, Prince Lupuerrs of the empire at that time.

  Prince Lu Puersi is the great-grandfather of Empress Christina.

  According to the genealogy of the imperial family and the Lusien royal family, the queen is still your cousin of the eldest princess. "

  In order to promote Empress Christina as the emperor, some players thoroughly researched the genealogy of the Augustine family and the Lucien family. It can be said that apart from the difference in surnames, the bloodlines of the two families have long been confused.

   Now Queen Christina is married to Emperor Augustine, and her surname is changed to Augustine. As long as people are willing to accept it, they will recognize that it makes sense in law.

   Agatha knew that what Meteor said was right, and the complicated relationship within the royal family was not humane.

At this time, Queen Christina said: "Agatha! You know Alec's character. He likes to make friends with powerful people and use them very much. But powerful people cannot manage a country, and Alec is not capable enough to lead the country in this extraordinary period." .

  You are the best candidate to inherit the throne!

   If you are willing to take on this responsibility, I will be more than happy to assist you with Meteor. "
