The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Why is it said that the current chaos in the DuPont Derlin family is due to Sotha's own reasons?

Because he has always wanted to ensure the complete dependence of the knight families on the Astral Knights, he did not allow any regulatory agencies to enter Passagardi, including Ulanhuda.

Without supervisors and deterrents, the nobles' behavior completely relies on personal morality and self-awareness.

Although Matthias formulated detailed legal provisions, his authority was insufficient to enforce the law on every individual, and he had to grant his increasingly powerful brothers relatively independent status in order to win them over.

For some reason, perhaps after witnessing the many strange phenomena in the Maelstrom Crusade, Sotha found that he was not at all surprised, not even angry, as if he had expected it all along.

Since there is a mistake, it must be corrected.

"In the future, any illegal activities of the knights should be reported directly to the White Chapel Monastery Fortress, where relevant personnel will handle them."

While Sotha was communicating with the Holy Machine Sage, the trainees' lottery was also completed, and the attendants used huge crawler transport vehicles to drag the training mechs from the warehouse.

They are roughly similar to the attendant mechs, about four meters in height, but the outer shell has many more sensor devices.

The control method is to use an external neural device, a helmet-like device, which has the advantage of less impact on the human body, but the disadvantage is that it is not so sensitive, and there will be a certain delay in controlling the mech.

The first pair of opponents to play were Matthias' son Andrea and a classmate of the same grade.

The trainee knights entered the cockpit of the training mech with the help of the attendants, and then the translucent hatch closed.

After the people inside put on their helmets, the attendants manipulated the machines to send a small arm shield and a training spear.

This training spear is similar in shape to the spears used by the Aspis Hussars, but it has been scaled down proportionally and is very fragile.

However, it will release an electric current when it hits the target.

If it is the arm shield, it can be easily dissipated, but if it hits other parts of the mech, especially near the cockpit, it will cause a strong paralyzing effect on the driver inside, thus determining the winner.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the trumpet, the audience on the stand held their breath, but some people stood up nervously, mainly the noble ladies - Andrea can be regarded as the dream lover of many young women.

Sotha's eyes noticed that Matthias had a smile on his face, obviously he was very confident in his son.

In the heavy footsteps, the two mechs came to the front of the stand, and bowed slightly to Sotha who was sitting high on the throne, and he just nodded slightly.

The two trainee knights then turned left and right, and walked to the yellow line marked position.

Dong dong dong~

After three drum sounds, the stationary mechs suddenly ran, and the distance of more than three hundred meters disappeared in an instant under their feet.

The spear was held in hand, just like a real Aspis Hussar.

With a click, Andrea's shield blocked the opponent's lance, and his lance pierced the right side of the opponent's cockpit, and instantly released a blue electric current, and then broke into three pieces.

Through the glass, Sotha could vaguely see the trainee knight trembling, and the mech also lowered its arms and lost its mobility.

"The winner is Andrea from Class 1!"

The crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers, Andrea walked to the stand again.

At this time, many flowers were thrown at him from all directions, he just opened the cockpit, took off his helmet, and bowed to Sotha.

"A good blow."

Sotha gave the other party a flat praise, and turned to look at Matthias.

"I look forward to seeing him drive the Aspis Knight to gallop on the battlefield."

The subsequent competition was basically no suspense, Andrea in the senior grade group won his opponents in the second round, the third round, and even the final round, and all of them won with lances, without entering the close combat stage.

However, Sotha did not rush to announce the champion, because the middle grade group competition had not yet started.

"I didn't expect to draw that bastard Gonzalo."

In the preparation room, looking at the duel that was about to end outside, Celer turned to prepare to walk towards the exit, but he didn't expect to be blocked by someone.

"Tasia? What are you doing here?"

The girl in the gorgeous dress blinked her long eyelashes.

"I can't participate in the competition, can't I see our champion?"

For some reason, Celer felt that Tasia was extremely beautiful today.

The flawless and gorgeous oval face seemed to be inlaid with beautiful black diamond-like eyes, the snowy and tall nose showed the female knight's unparalleled self-confidence, and the plump lips, which were as red and charming as rose petals stained with morning dew, usually evoked a shallow arc of sarcasm.

Under the silver braided crown, her smooth long hair was like a hanging waterfall, falling all the way to her waist, and it was dotted with glittering hair accessories like the silver river in the night.

The upper body of this silver-red dress was close to the girl's increasingly plump body, her arms were covered with silver silk gloves, and the part below the waist was a fluffy skirt, and the back of the skirt was slightly upturned like a gorgeous silver goldfish.

Celer seemed unable to control his eyes, and always unconsciously glanced at the other party's snow-white and delicate neck and the roundness of her slightly exposed chest.

In the past, he always regarded the other party as a naughty friend.

But today he felt something different for the first time.

He felt that his blood flow began to speed up, his throat was a little dry, and the poems in the poetry class often praised the sacred love.

Celer had always regarded it as a boring and moaning illness, but today those poems describing beautiful girls and princesses seemed to be automatically generated in his mind.

"Ha, I thought you were going to say something to me."

Tasia took a step forward, bringing a fragrance mixed with floral fragrance, Celer subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the other party immediately said:

"Don't hide, this is the etiquette of the knight."

"Uh, I'm not a knight yet."

Celer twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his head away.

"Then don't you want the kiss of victory?"

Hearing the trumpet sound outside, Celer gritted his teeth, did not hesitate to step forward and put his arms around the other party's slender waist, feeling the gentleness that was close to him, and then took the initiative to kiss Tasia's lips, and then hurried towards the exit.

"The participants are Celer, the son of Baron Barris, and Gonzalo, the son of Grand Duke Oful."

Looking at the two knights bowing to him, Sotha raised his eyebrows, and then nodded.

"Let's begin."

The two knights walked to the position, Celer stared at the mech in the distance through the observation window, he believed that the bastard must also be staring at him fiercely.

Whether it is for justice or glory, he must easily defeat the opponent.
