Please Call Me Cyber Ghost King
Chapter 332 The Western Kingdom's Response
What Chi Tong didn't know was that the great Emperor actually wanted to accept her. Even if she made some requests, Ke Ling was happy to meet them, such as accepting Hei Tong as well.
Ke Ling didn't dare to say whether Hei Tong would give special traits, but Chi Tong would give them 99% of the time. After all, she was the real heroine and a key figure throughout the prequel and the sequel.
But Ke Ling couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would seem that he was threatening the two sisters with Hei Tong's life safety. In the end, it still depended on Chi Tong to understand it herself.
However, Ke Ling left this so-called "Ascendant Promotion Channel", which was also a reasonable way to open a backdoor for himself. Even if Chi Tong's final achievements were not very good, Ke Ling could use the "Emperor's Special Selection" to select her.
"Ascendants" were originally the Emperor's divine choice. Whether the final list drawn up by the "Ascension Committee" could be passed and who would be selected to "ascend" depended on the Emperor's mood. It was all decided by the Emperor alone, and no one else had any room to intervene.
After all, no matter what, the final "ascension" step must be completed by the emperor himself. Others simply do not have this ability, even other "ascendants" do not have this ability. This determines that no one can have any small thoughts on this matter, unless they are really tired of living.
Chi Tong, who did not know that she had been internally selected for an "ascension quota", can be said to be particularly hard-working during the entire Western Expedition.
And Hei Tong, who understood why Chi Tong worked so hard, did not drag her feet. The two sisters shined on the Western Expedition and made meritorious deeds repeatedly.
There is no way, Chi Tong's personal strength is indeed very strong. Although the effect of [Moonlight Dance·Wind Blade Sword] is average, it can be regarded as enriching Chi Tong's attack methods and making her more comprehensive.
And Hei Tong is even more comprehensive. Her imperial weapon [March of the Dead·Eight Rooms] can be called a BUG-level imperial weapon. [March of the Dead·Eight Rooms] can control the people killed by this sword through curses, and can control up to eight corpses as puppets.
The puppet's status and ability are the same as before and can move freely. Except that it cannot speak, communicate, or think, the puppet looks almost the same as when it is alive.
Hei Tong has a wide variety of puppets at this time. She can even manipulate these puppets to fight against the entire [Night Raid] in a short period of time. The weakness of [March of the Dead·Eight Houses] is that the more corpses are manipulated during the launch process, the lower the user's ability will be.
Relying on this BUG imperial tool, Hei Tong's contribution is even greater than that of Akato, which also makes Akato feel very gratified.
After the sudden attack, the Western Kingdom has been unable to organize an effective defense line for a long time. The imperial army directly drove straight in and rushed forward. By the time the Western Kingdom reacted, the entire eastern barrier of the kingdom had been completely lost, and a large area of the eastern territory had been occupied by the imperial army.
King Louis XXVI was panicked and urgently summoned all ministers to discuss countermeasures. He also quickly began to mobilize vassals to come to the rescue. The enemy has already driven straight in and is about to break into the royal city! If you don't come to rescue me, then there's no need to come!
In the palace, the advisers and ministers were panicked. They had never seen such a scene before, so how could they know how to deal with it? The kingdom has been peaceful for many years, and it can be said that it is peaceful and peaceful.
Louis XXVI's face was livid. He was a fat middle-aged man. Sitting on the throne, he looked like a rich man, without any dignity belonging to the king of a country.
"What should we do?!"
"The imperial army is too strong! How can we stop their attack?!"
"Move the capital! I have long said that this royal city is too close to the east. Now, they are going to rush to the royal city directly!"
In the meeting room of the palace, a group of people were arguing fiercely, but even so no one mentioned the topic of surrender.
"Quiet!"
Louis XXVI couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped the noise in the meeting room. They haven't even reached their doorstep yet, so why are these guys so panicked? It's really embarrassing!
"."
Everyone fell silent, waiting for the king to speak out his ideas, but in fact no one expected him to do so. The king had not shown any talent, and the one who was most panicked just now was actually the king himself, who looked at a loss.
"Let's talk about it after the grand dukes arrive."
Sure enough, after mumbling for a long time, Louis XXVI came to the conclusion that he should wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
The system of the kingdom is still the ancient feudal system. The princes of various places are all powerful grand dukes. The king enfeoffs them with land and becomes great nobles. They then enfeoff them to middle-level nobles, and middle-level nobles then enfeoff them to small nobles.
Rather than saying that the Western Kingdom belongs to King Louis XXVI personally, it is better to say that King Louis XXVI is the leader elected by everyone. The Western Kingdom is essentially a military and political alliance, and the king's power is not unlimited, at least he cannot have the final say on everything.
Especially since the king of the present generation is still relatively soft-hearted, his communication with the powerful vassal is even weaker. Now that something like this has happened, he cannot make a decision himself and can only wait for the grand dukes from all over the country to arrive and discuss together.
But there is one thing that Louis XXVI is extremely firm about, that is, the capital must not be moved. This royal city is the most important industry of their family and is almost the foundation of their family. If the royal city is given up, then his position as king may not be stable. This is absolutely not acceptable.
"Stick to the royal city, wait for reinforcements, and let all the troops in the east withdraw. Don't let them be wiped out bit by bit!"
Louis XXVI gritted his teeth angrily. These vassals in the east were all useless, otherwise they would not have been assigned to the east before. Most of the places in the east were newly developed wild lands, and the old nobles did not even bother to go there. edge development.
However, according to common sense, these new nobles should be quite strong. After all, they have to work hard on their own and may conflict with foreign races. They should not be so vulnerable.
But the reality is that the nobles in the east were shattered at the first touch, and were swept directly into the hinterland of the kingdom by the imperial army.
Fortunately, there are still some noble fiefdoms in front of the royal city that have not fallen and can still serve as a barrier to the royal city. But now, these bastards can no longer use "the incident happened suddenly and they were not prepared" as an excuse. They all have to get up and be honest. Fight against the enemy!
Facts have proved that the nobles around the royal city still have some knowledge. They gathered the remnants of the defeated nobles in the east and established an effective defense line around the royal city, while the royal city also continued to provide them with support.
The front lines of the imperial army finally came to a halt around the royal city. Brand still had some sense of control. The soldiers had fought all the way here at lightning speed, but they were also a bit exhausted. It was time to rest and not to attack the royal city again.
Of course, if you have to fight, it's not impossible. After all, the Teigu Users, who are the main force, still have some strength left, but Brand doesn't want to rely too much on the power of the Teigu Users, because the Teigu Users will have to be recycled in the future, and the Empire has already It's already been explained.
Brand understood that the imperial army was still somewhat dependent on the power of the Teigu user, and he had to get used to the feeling of not having the Teigu user in advance, so as not to be unable to fight in the future after the Teigu user was recovered.
"That's not necessary. Without the Teigu user, wouldn't there still be ascendants like us?"
Esdeath sneered at this. Although there will be no Teigu Users in the future, aren't "Ascended Ones" used to replace Teigu Users? The empire still has crushing power.
"."
Brand's mouth twitched, could this be the same? There can be at least forty-eight Teigu users, and at least more than half of them used to serve in the empire. How many "ascended ones" are there now? Is it possible that every battle can be left to you, Esdeath, to lead the way?
As the leader of the expeditionary force, Brand insisted on his choice. Esdeath had no choice but to recuperate with everyone.
After getting along with each other these days, Esdeath has unexpectedly integrated into the group and into the Teigu Special Forces. This is because of her status as an "Ascendant" and "Emperor's Chosen". Everyone is obviously curious about this power.
Everyone already knows that the Teigu will be recovered. For people who are used to possessing extraordinary power, this is actually quite sudden. However, these people are not the kind of people who do not understand the general situation, and they all understand that the general trend is unavoidable, so naturally there is no One would be tempted to play devil’s advocate.
However, the fact that the Teigu will be recovered in the future does not prevent them from making contributions in the several conquest wars in which they can finally use the Teigu.
Everyone understands that as long as you make enough contributions, you may be selected as an "Ascended One", and you can still obtain extraordinary power, and it will be a legal extraordinary power under the new system of the empire. It is not only legal, but even glorious. symbol.
So it was not just the two sisters, Red Eyes and Black Eyes, who were working hard. Everyone was vying for the lead. This was also the main reason why the Western Kingdom collapsed so quickly. The knights of the feudal nobles had no advantage in front of the Teigu user.
"The glory of the Lord will shine on you! All warriors who kill the infidels can go to heaven, and all warriors who bravely fight against the infidels can go to heaven! We must fight against the infidels to the end!"
In a castle in the south of the royal city, a man dressed like a priest shouted urgently. He was the priest of the kingdom's religion and was mobilizing before the war. They would respond to the call to serve the king.
The pastor was indeed very anxious, because these pagan invaders were very cruel, and they directly killed them all. All the churches in the occupied areas were demolished, as if they were going to completely destroy their religion.
"Pastor, why doesn't the Lord God punish these heretics with divine punishment?"
Soldiers asked loudly, a large number of churches were destroyed, and a large number of priests were killed, but the Lord did not respond at all. The Holy See, which had always been extremely arrogant, was silent this time. The Inquisition also wanted to punish whom. There was no sound, as if they were all frightened by the enemy.
"Bold! How dare you question the Lord of God!"
The priest was very angry. In normal times, this soldier's remarks would have been enough to be sentenced to death by the Inquisition!
But now, he had to cooperate with him humbly, because the person speaking was the castle owner's bodyguard, and he had to consider whether this guy was speaking on behalf of the city owner.
Now, the Holy See must cooperate with these landlords and work together to defeat the foreign pagan invaders from the East. This is a moment of life and death, and there is no room for sloppiness.
"What's the problem with what I said? Do you want to judge me? Does the Lord of God also bully the weak and shy away from the strong? Facing the God Emperor across the way, he doesn't dare to issue divine punishment, but he gets angry when facing the believers of the kingdom?"
The soldier held his neck and went hard against the priest. This farce surprised the surrounding soldiers.
Although the loss and suffering of the Church made people applaud in their hearts, it really takes courage to shout it out directly and confront the priests. The power of the Church is also an important part of the kingdom. The belief in the Lord God has always ruled the kingdom. The soldier's behavior is undoubtedly a bit treasonous.
"You! You you you!"
The priest was speechless and could only point at the soldier's incompetence and rage. He couldn't say why the Lord God didn't punish him. He also wanted the Lord God to punish him and let those pagan invaders see the power of the Lord God!
"What do you mean you? What can you priests do besides cheating? You are full of petty thefts, and you are everywhere harming people under the banner of the Lord God, causing people's families to be broken and dead!"
The soldier cursed loudly, as if he had finally found an opportunity, which made everyone silent. No one stood up to stop him. Faith, as the priests were corrupted, had long begun to become impure. Many of them had suffered losses and were hurt by these priests.
In the past, the power of the Church was extremely strong. They would criticize people as pagans and witches at will. Everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out, but now, someone finally couldn't help it.
Seeing the unfriendly eyes of the people around him, the priest was timid. Although he had a few knights who protected the religion around him, he felt that they were useless in the face of these soldiers. The knights who protected the religion were just flower racks.
"Okay, shut up, you still have time to fight among yourselves here, do you all want to be beheaded by those pagan invaders?"
When the situation gradually began to become dangerous, the owner of the castle came out to stop the deterioration of the situation. It was not yet time to fight with the enemy. It would be a joke if the people started fighting among themselves first.
The lord didn't really care about faith, but as a local lord, he had to fight to protect his property. The Church and he had the same interests and both wanted to protect their local property, so he needed to unite the people of the Church.
"Go to war."
The city lord gave an order, and the soldiers began to carry out the order. He was just a small nobleman, and he did not bring many people with him, but countless small nobles like him gathered together, gathered under the command of middle-level nobles, and then gathered under the command of big nobles. This was a very impressive military force.
