Chapter 394 Goodbye
Outside the Tower of Babel, the Dota Continent is also in the midst of turmoil.
Just as Goron tried to guide the mysterious maze of the Tower of Babel left by His Majesty Darwin, the empire was also experiencing the biggest crisis in its founding thousands of years.
The crisis of destruction of the country.
Chen Chongjun, the two major human empires bordering the empire, was no longer limited to small-scale temptations or small-scale military frictions. The launch of a full-scale invasion may be tomorrow, or the next second.
The disappearance of the empire's great marshal Retuss is an unconcealable fact. Without this iron wall, the Holy Beast Empire, which originally had the largest land area and was unparalleled in the world, has completely become a delicious cake that everyone can eat in the eyes of all forces.
The Cool Bear Principal, one of the seven major priests of the empire, officially declared treason. The fully mechanized corps, built by the great alchemist Baigaponk Black Wine Barrel, swept nearly half of the empire in a short time. The "Shield Guard" Infantry Regiment, the "Bailing" Bear Cavalry Regiment, the "Red Dot" Musketeer Force, and the "War Madman" Special Assault Soldiers have become nightmares for the imperial nobles.
The most staunch supporter of the Holy Dragon Royal Family, the 700,000 troops gathered by the Duchy of the Bucks among the seven major priests, were crushed to pieces by the dwarf steam tanks. The old Grand Duke of the Bucks, who was nearly 70 years old but still strong, was killed in front of the formation by the new generation of hill kings who have become famous in recent years. The Pride of Thunder. This stag has been essentially bitten to death by the Northland Bear.
The seven major priests belonging to the empire are the treason of the northern land, the buck is weak, and the griffin Principal was originally second only to the royal family, but after several generations of foolish family leaders, its luxury and frenzy ranks first among all priests. The main body of the duke has long been hollowed out by the prodigal family. Even one of the imperial ace legions that has been passed down to this day since its founding, the royal griffin Knights that galloped across the sky of the Dota Continent before the rise of the Dragon Knights of Retususs has become a laughing stock in the army. Even local militias dare to challenge it, and they have no combat power at all.
The two major priests of the Thousand-Year Eagle and Swordfish have long since the empire’s decline and transferred their core strength to the outer sea and the New World, leaving only two empty shells with shapes. As for the last Golden Bird family, they have always been hidden in the dark side of the empire. Although it is a nightmare that everyone dares not to provoke when the country is prosperous and the people are safe, they do not have the hard strength to turn the tide in the days of war.
"Even if we put aside the crisis within our human race, even the dark elves underground, the orc tribes in the wilderness, and even the demons in the abyss are all ready to destroy me and my empire. Tell me, as the current supreme ruler of the empire, what else can I do now?"
The supreme king of the empire has many names such as "Emperor of Fear", "Tyrant", and "King of Absurdity". His Majesty Durothal, who has been secretly called "Last Emperor" by some people, held a warm medicinal tea cup with his forehand, and looked at the person in front of him with a smile.
In front of the emperor, the giant demon Lafana half lying on the thick flange cashmere carpet. She half-squinted her eyes, supported her head with one hand, and lazily stroked a black panther in front of her with a black fur as dark as the night. Any movement of the peerless giant demon is full of indescribable beauty. Although this black panther is a high-level monster with a high level and is very wild, in the arms of the giant demon Lafana, it is as obedient as a real cat, and even purring in the throat.
"Although your Majesty just now, the person I saw was quite terrible, but the person I saw in front of me looked confident. Not only did you have despair and fear, but I even saw some joy of the conspiracy succeeding. I think it won't take long for your enemies to regret your recklessness and stupidity."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" Durotal laughed out loud. He gently picked up the medicine tea cup in his hand, drank a small sip, and continued: "The giant demon is indeed the most perfect creature created by His Majesty Darwin, the strongest biological weapon born to fight against the war angels in the divine realm of heaven. Your talent is really jealous. I really can't imagine how you would be captured by those lowly ants and then bought and sold like goods. If you want, it should not be difficult to kill everyone."
A trace of pain flashed in Lafana's eyes. She was silent for a long time before she spoke quietly: "When I was very young, my mother and father left. I am willing to pay any price for it to get them back."
"That's why you transfer all your power to your son?" Durothal stared at Lafana's eyes and said meaningfully: "But even me, I can't see what the meaning of doing this is. Is this also a kind of power to predict the future?"
Faced with this question, Lafana shook her head slightly, but said nothing, obviously she didn't want to answer. Durothal smiled slightly, and didn't seem to mind. He had figured it out that as long as it was the son of the giant demon Lafana, the beautiful boy who had caused a lot of storm in the imperial capital Montenegro not long ago, Lafana would keep things about Goron.
Durothal changed the topic and continued: "I had agreed to your request before and sent Retusus to protect your son, and you also promised to be my wife and the mother of the empire. Now, is it your turn to fulfill your promise?"
Lafana frowned slightly, but nodded, saying, "Commitment is a promise. When I confirm that my son returns safely, he will marry you."
"What, do you even doubt the strength of Retusus? Are you worried about any unexpected situations if he personally protects your son?" Durothal's face was full of a smile. He thought for a while and continued, "To be honest, I didn't expect Retusus to agree to my request. He should not know my plan. The guardian swears with his soul a long time ago and will do his best to protect the empire. He has been keeping his promises before, and he has not even had time to take care of his life. I want to transfer him from the empire this time to avoid disturbing my plan. I originally prepared many backup plans, but I didn't expect Retusus to inexplicably take your son as his adopted son, and after knowing that he was in crisis, he left the empire very simply. This is really interesting."
Lafana's mouth raised slightly, and a smile flashed away, but she still couldn't escape the eyes of Emperor Durothal.
"What do you seem to know?"
The emperor's eyes began to be aggressive: "You have known that your son had an intersection with Retuss, but how did you know? Your every move is under my surveillance. You have no communication with the outside world, but you seem to know everything. So, this also comes from some kind of prophecy power?"
Lafana lowered her head and remained silent. She had long known the horror of this Emperor Durottal. He was neither the rumored foolish and violent tyrant of the emperor, nor was he who looked so sick and elegant. The real Durottal was like an endless ocean. You don’t know how deep and wide he was, nor when he was sunny and when the storm would rag.
Just when the war between Emperor Durottal and the giant demon Lafana was at its most critical moment, the knock on the door suddenly rang. Durottal smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that this time he could not push the giant demon in front of him to the extreme. But he was not angry. He knew that the people outside the door dared to knock on the door and disturb him at this time, then there must be a problem that no one can solve except himself.
"Come in." Durothal picked up the tea cup again and drank it slowly. The cup in his hand was polished with the most purity magic fire crystal, which ensures that the medicinal tea inside is always maintained at the optimal temperature.
A middle-aged man walked into the door, with a very handsome face. If Goron were here, he would be surprised to see this man. Because he was no one else, he was Goron's biological father, the nominal husband of the giant demon Lafana, Viscount Dominico Cristia Tabris von Hugwen. No, looking at the clothes he was told about at this time, he was no longer a viscount of low status, but a noble marquis.
The couple met again, and the straight line was less than four or five meters away. However, Earl Xiuwen lowered his head slightly and looked at him without squinting. The giant monster Lafana was only concerned about teasing the black panther in her arms and turning a blind eye to the "husband" under her nose.
Durothal's lips raised slightly, and he looked at the two of them with a smile. After a while, he said, "My Secretary of State, what is it that makes you disturb my lunch break and tea talk with my future wife?"
"Dear Your Majesty." Hugwen, who did not show any strangeness in his wife's fiancée, bowed slightly and said: "About his subordinate's brother, the execution of the evil Earl Amanda Emilian Cristia Tabris von Hugwen has been completed. His beheading ceremony will be carried out in the Empire Square three days later. In order to cleanse the family's shame, the executioner will be personally taken over."
Durothal nodded, his face remained unchanged: "Do you have the only thing to do?"
Only then did Xiu Wen show a hesitant expression, as if something was extremely difficult.
Durothal snorted coldly and said, "Depending on your appearance, you don't need to guess, it must be my trashing again, that's right."
Then Xiu Wen said: "Your Majesty is wise. Prince Faramien launched a coup three hours ago in the name of "Save the Country" and conscripted 30,000 people from the White Tiger Knights on their behalf to try to capture the Imperial Arsenal. However, his plan has been seen through by Prince Dior. Prince Dior assembled the city defense force and requisitioned the private armed forces of multiple families to defeat Prince Faramien and besiege them in West Fort. Prince Dior sent someone to ask His Majesty for instructions on what to do next." (To be continued.)
