You call me a big treacherous evil?

After two hours, all the mechas have been activated, and we will definitely rush to rescue him immediately.

Weighing the small jingling package in his hand, he looked at the technicians who were hastily heating up the boilers of the mecha and trying to start the mecha.

The guard seemed to understand why none of the mechas in the Knights of the Kingdom could move.

After all, keeping the mech activated every day requires a lot of ancient crystals.

After such a long period of time, keeping the mecha in a state of readiness for battle consumes an astronomical sum.

Apparently the knights of the Knights of the Kingdom thought that instead of throwing the money in the boiler and burning it, it would be better to send them some money to improve their lives.

So the guard stuffed the small bag into his pocket, saying that I will convey to His Majesty the news that the princes of the Kingdom Knights are fighting bravely, so that the royal guards can persist for another two hours.

But when the guards reported back to the emperor, it would take two hours for the Knights of the Kingdom to leave due to the harassment of the rebels.

Although the emperor was very unhappy, he still accepted the news.

After all, the royal palace was protected by the royal guards. It would be difficult for these well-equipped troops to suppress the rebels because of their small numbers.

But sticking to the palace for two hours can always be done.

Then the emperor, who had never personally experienced war, knew how stupid his thoughts were.

As selected veterans, the Imperial Guards of the Capital have shown a fighting quality worthy of the word "Guards" in terms of combat effectiveness.

After the first round of tentative attacks were repulsed by the defenders splashing water with automatic weapons on the palace wall, the infantry's best friend was immediately brought in from the armory: the Lu-made 1902 152mm howitzer.

No normal person would arrange heavy weapons such as artillery in the palace.

The only artillery pieces in the royal guard are 2-pound front-mounted bronze guns that serve as salutes.

So when the Capital Guards slowly set up the artillery under the eyes of the defenders on the palace wall, they began to load and aim.

Even the most courageous soldier knows now that running is a useful next step.

The gorgeous palace wall could not stop the direct fire of the 152mm caliber howitzer, and a huge gap appeared on the palace wall after one shot.

However, the Capital Guards did not stop shelling.

Although they worked hard to control the scope of destruction near the palace wall.

But the shelling of heavy artillery not only demolished the palace walls, but also shattered the glass and mirrors in the palace.

These include the emperor who decided to move the capital from Ross to Fort St. Nicholas, the largest transparent glass in the world purchased from Brandenia at that time, and the giant floor-to-ceiling windows built for the Privy Council of the State Duma. .

At that time, the emperor wanted to prove his determination to promote reforms in such a way that everyone could see that the State Duma was holding a meeting and it was really running.

But now this once valuable glass, like the other glasses in the palace, was shattered into pieces in the rumble of gunfire.

Faced with this shelling, the captain of the guard told the emperor very honestly.

"Your Majesty, if you have other methods, please use them quickly."

"If you have a secret passage, please escape as soon as possible."

"Although we will fight for you to the last moment, we really can't deal with this roaring heavy artillery. The rebels in the square have already assumed machine guns, and rushing out is nothing but death."

Looking at the elf officer in front of him who has served the Lucian royal family for three generations since he accepted the royal letter of appointment, he almost watched him grow up.

With trembling hands, the emperor took off the monocle on his face.

"Half an hour, as long as you persist for half an hour, can you do it?"

The elf officer pressed his left chest with his right hand and performed an ancient courtesy to the emperor.

"You have an hour's affair, Your Majesty."

The emperor took another look at the elf officer, then turned and left in a hurry.

The elf didn't ask the emperor whether he chose to escape, or to use some other cards.

He took out the pocket watch in his breast pocket to check the time, and then looked at the picture on the cover of the pocket watch of a young woman standing under a tree with a laurel wreath on her head.

"Catherine, if you're still watching..."

The elf closed his pocket watch, drew his sword and pistol from his waist, and strode out of the emperor's bedroom. Now he was going to fight for the hour he needed for the emperor.

On the wall of the emperor's bedroom behind him, a woman holding a scepter and wearing a crown seems to be looking at the back of the elf and the emperor.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, it is eight points similar to the woman in the elf pocket watch.

Just as the Elven officer was going to battle for an ancient promise, the Emperor came to his study, as his father had told him before he died.

The secret passage in the study room was opened, leading to a secret known only to members of the royal family and the chief engineer of the Royal Academy of Engineering.

A final insurance that can only be invoked in the most critical moments.

025 Emperor's Hole Card

The emperor hurried through ancient tunnels thick with dust and cobwebs.

The aroused dust made his nose a little uncomfortable, which had never been in contact with this kind of environment, but at this time, the emperor who had ignored many emperors could only act like a poor miner.

Cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief to make yourself more comfortable in this dusty environment.

The emperor with the lantern ran all the way, and finally when he felt his lungs panting like a bellows in a blacksmith's shop.

He came to a heavy metal door. On the rusted metal door was a double-headed eagle emblem symbolizing the royal family of the Lucian Empire.

It's just that there is a hole in the eagle's left eye.

The emperor inserted the scepter in his hand into the hollow and twisted it hard.

Seems to be the reason it has been out of maintenance for too long and was never used after it was built.

Even if the emperor exerted all his strength, he couldn't twist the scepter in his hand.

On the contrary, it was because of the excessive force that the palm of my hand was scratched, as if it was burning pain.

"Sukka!"

The furious emperor kicked the metal door, and the thick door didn't even make a sound.

But the emperor felt a dull pain in his right foot because he kicked on the iron plate.

The emperor calmed down in pain and remembered what his father had said to him 3 minutes before he died.

"If it won't work, take the gemstone off the scepter."

The emperor gritted his teeth and pulled the scepter from the door, and then took off the gemstone on the scepter.

He smelled a special fragrance, and the source of this fragrance was the green oil infused in the scepter.

The emperor immediately recognized what this blue grease was.

This is a high-efficiency lubricant extracted from Naga fat. If the mecha uses this lubricant, it can double the motorcycle hours.

Even if used as maintenance oil for swords or muskets, these metal products can be almost permanently maintenance-free.

The oil is so effective that the last Naga tribe was also wiped out in the North Sea 100 years ago.

For the next 100 years, no one saw a single Naga alive.

Now the price per milliliter of this oil is already worth a year's annuity for a kingdom knight.

Looking at the blue grease in the scepter, the emperor poured the grease into the keyhole without any hesitation.

Then put the stone back on the scepter and reinsert it into the keyhole.

This time the emperor turned the scepter slightly with a slight twist.

Amidst a sharp, headache-inducing sound of metal friction, the folding iron door slowly opened.

A console appeared before the emperor.

The emperor walked over to sit on the console, and then slapped the button on the console.

The console immediately began to move along the pre-laid track.

Five minutes later, in front of the Duma in the palace.

The rebellious Capital Guards used Lu-made 1902 76mm mountain guns to bombard the last firepower point of the Royal Guards.

A battle cry erupted from the rebel positions.

"For the motherland (♀) mother!"

Then a gray tide rushed towards the broken line of defense of the royal guard.

The elf officer with a gauze wrapped around his left shoulder and a saber in his right hand looked at the last remaining guard members around him.

"It's my honor to fight side by side with you. Let all the traitors know how powerful we are!"

At this moment, there was a loud noise in the palace.

First, a sharp siren sounded from outside the palace.

Then there was a burst of organ playing the national anthem of the Lucian Empire, "God Save the Emperor", which even drowned out the sound of guns and guns on the battlefield.

Along with the loud music, there are heavy footsteps.

A huge mecha that had never been seen before was walking towards the palace with heavy steps.

The mecha is so massive that it can even hump the Orthodox Uspensky Church where the Emperor is crowned.

In other words, this church where successive popes were crowned is just the ground part of this mech.

"BOOM!"

With a burst of cannon fire, a dozen huge fireballs rose up among the rebels.

Countless gray figures were thrown into the air like dolls.

"Traitor! Surrender! Or die!"

In the sound of the music, the emperor's roar resounded throughout the San Nigra Fort.

At the same time, the HMS Vigilance, which departed from Port Phelps, was galloping in the leaden waters of the North Sea.

Wave after wave beat against the side of the ship, but could not slow down the gray battleship.

Although this new ship was launched into service before the Liangxihai naval battle, it relied on fearless courage and relatively advanced technology in that naval battle.

In one fell swoop, a cruiser and a lightning striker were sunk.

However, this heroic performance did not save the Lucia Navy from defeat.

After the humiliating withdrawal to Port Phelps, this voyage is the first time the lightning striker has gone to sea in two years.

It seems that it is because I have finally returned to the sea after a long absence.

The performance of this Thunderbolt ship after it sailed was like a husky that had been at home for a whole winter and hadn't gone out, and finally went out to let the wind go.

Have fun in the wind and waves of the North Sea.

And the price of this kind of flirting was that Victor, whose face was green like a leek in the cabin, vomited violently while holding a bucket.

But Victor is not the only one who vomits now.

Joseph, Victor's partner, was also sitting on the bed opposite Victor, holding a bucket with a disheveled expression, speechless.

Just because Joseph can't speak, doesn't mean Victor can't speak.

In fact, since entering the state of seasickness.

Viktor looks like he's drunk, as long as he doesn't hold the barrel and open his mouth for a rainbow spray.

It's just that the little mouth keeps outputting trash talk to Joseph.

"RUA! As long as I don't vomit to death this time, when the situation stabilizes, I must get the airship and plane out!"

"RUA! This boat is not for people to sit on... RUA! It's slow and bumpy... RUA!"

Just when Victor felt that he was about to vomit all his gall.

Joseph, who had been holding the barrel and not speaking, seemed to be in luck like an old monk, asked suddenly.

"What are you talking about... the plane... RUA!"

It seems that because of talking with Victor, Joseph, who has not had a rainbow spray, finally failed.

Joseph also started rainbow jetting in the cabin holding the bucket.

For a while, the cabin was not only full of strange smells, but also the voices of "RUA! RUA!" came and went.

It seems that there is a company of kobolds frantically fishing in the cabin.
