Photo:"Valkyrie: Requiem...!"
The golden light spears held by the Valkyries instantly shattered into countless light particles then fused back into various musical instruments.
Violins, guqins, guzheng, harps, flutes, and other wind instruments replaced the light spears held by the Valkyries, making an appearance of the great Valkyrie army transformed instantly into a solemn and holy orchestra performer.
Aaa...!
The melodious voices of the Valkyries, humming together like a choir.
Ting...
The golden bell rang, followed by a violin sound that flowed with melodious and long tones. Each instrument begins to be played according to their respective parts. Very organized and neat, without the slightest mistake.
"May God guide the way of your departed soul, the warrior who has fought for his faith..."
"Stand to die, never kneel to live..."
"Never drown in darkness, rise again for those of you who still desire the future..."
"Rest in peace for the dead warrior..."
"Rise up again, for the eternal soul..."
"....."
Fervent music and singing echoed in the sky. Together with the song, a golden light came from the North end and made this gloomy world get a hint of the color of life.
Philia:"Rest for fallen warriors (Enemy). Rise up my soldiers with a strong soul... «Forbidden Magic, Tier 3: Resurrection»"
A bright golden light immediately enveloped the entire vast battlefield. The souls of the Moon Palace warriors looked like balls of white light that flew straight towards the carrier and gathered at a crystal level held by Selene.
Resurrection scepter, every guild would definitely have a resurrection scepter to resurrect their NPCs or guild members who had died in the war without losing any experience.
However, this stick only resurrected people or NPCs whose data had been registered in the guild house and could only be used once every seven days. Each time the stick was used, it was necessary to consume some material items to reshape the body that had been destroyed by the war.
In addition, to be able to resurrect the dead warriors, the resurrection staff needed to be brought back to the Moon Palace and put it on a special platform.
Other than the soul of the Moon Palace warrior that looked like a white sphere, there was also the soul of the enemy warrior that instantly turned into particles of light and disappeared. They did not disappear because their souls would turn into mana worlds, but their souls would be destroyed to replenish the soul power of the Moon Palace warriors.
In the Battlefield, only the body of a soulless corpse remained scattered, mixed together with the mud.
The aircraft carrier that was floating silently in midair suddenly opened hatch doors on both sides of its body. Thousands of 4m-sized drones flew from inside the carrier like a flock of bees flying from inside its hive.
The drones flew all over the battlefield looking for something. Laser detection is always emitted to the ground surface. As he had found what he was looking for, one of the drones opened up part of his stomach and from there came out a mechanical hand that could extend up to 2m.
The flexible mechanical hand went into the mud and picked up something similar to a 2mm iron plate covered in mud.
The thing they took was Nanite Brain from the mechanical soldiers. Although the brain is small, it can store data of 10Tera and has computing power up to 1.2PetaFlops very fast, comparable to the first generation supercomputer.
Of the entire manufacture of mechanical warriors, the hardest part was the time of making Nanite Brain Core which contained the core technology of all mechanical warriors.
Unlike biological warriors who must be awakened using the soul, the mechanized warrior awakener only needed to reassemble their Nanite Brain into a new body and reinstall some of the data that had been damaged in the fight.
However, the most important part is not Nanite Brain, but the data stored in it. Although the data is not only stored in Nanite Brain, but reassembling the finished Nanite Brain also has its own advantages. By reusing the data contained within Nanite Brain, I do not need to reinstall the data stored in Moon Palace which is quite large in size and will take longer.
If their Nanite Brain was destroyed in the fight, to resurrect the mechanized forces, the, I need to create a new Nanite Brain and install their data that is still stored in the Guild's data base which will definitely take more material and time.
However, just as biological warrior souls can be destroyed with high-level magic, the mechanical warrior data can also be erased with high-level magic and it is impossible to resurrect them.
The only way is to create a new mechanical warrior with a new data program. Of course, creating a new program will not be able to create the same program with deleted data. So, if the data base is erased, then the mechanical soldiers will also disappear completely without being recovered.
Seeing the drones busy at work, I left them behind and immediately flew back inside the aircraft carrier.
"Your Majesty!."
As soon as I entered, Arkne and the others knelt before me. I sat on the throne listening to the singing of the Valkyrie that echoed in the sky.
Filia:"Go to the capital Xuan Ming...!"
"Yes, Your Highness...!."
.....
(Emperor Xuan Jianlin)
Imperial palace...
The war with an unknown power suffered a great loss. Out of a million more soldiers, only a dozen returned?.
How, how could such an impossible thing happen?. No matter how bad the calculations I took, in the end the most impossible thing happened.
I've been thinking about what way I'll take when we lose the war, but I don't take into account one-sided massacres like this at all. How can this empire continue?.
Ever since I sat in the emperor's seat, only this time did I feel regret and helplessness. This feeling, very bad.
Xuan Jianlin:"Say, tell me what happened!."
I had General Zhao and Tian Che kneel before me to explain what happened. Their once extraordinary appearance, being a cult to women, now they were as chaotic as beggars with their tattered clothes and some bloody scars on their bodies.
Tian Che:"His Majesty the emperor..."
Tian Che started to tell her what happened. Starting from thousands of large and small airships, enemy destructive forces, and the troops they bring.
In short, their destructive power is simply incomparable to any power I have ever seen. One ship from them, managed to take down an entire ship from the Xuan Ming empire. From this alone, I can imagine how powerful the enemy is.
In addition, the enemy also has a very terrible army. The number is far greater than our army. I was very confused, where did they get such an army from.
Keep in mind, the Xuan Ming empire was able to gather so many armies because I also gathered soldiers from various subordinate lands. But, what about that unknown power?!.
Their names have never been heard of, but they are capable of gathering such an army?.
Tian Che:"Especially the strongest is a little girl..."
Jianlin:"Little girl?."
Tian Che:"Yes, he has silver wings and silver hair. All over his wings were covered with fire and lightning. He fought with gold armor and slaughtered our troops..."
Tian Che told me what he saw. A little girl descended into the battlefield and committed a massacre of thousands of troops alone. Even the destructive cannons that are the mainstay of our army are unable to kill him..
Tian Che and Zhao Yun continued to recount their battlefield experiences. The experience was just like a storybook that made almost no sense at all. However, judging from the expressions and witnesses of the returning Soldiers, everything they said seemed to be the truth.
Hearing the story, my hands shook and cold sweat poured out from my back... Mistake, this is a big mistake.
Jianlin:"It's over..."
The enemy we are facing is very strong, there is no possibility to fight back. They are monsters. Did it just get like this...?
"Your Majesty, we can't give up!."
I lifted my eyes and saw one of the officials talking.
"Perhaps, maybe we can give up and become a vassal state?."
Jianlin:"Do you think that's possible?!."
I'm really mad at this guy. Surrender, I don't really care about self-esteem, but will they accept submission?.
A country with such a strong government and such a terrifying army, do they still need a vassal state?.
This is all our miscalculation. If we gave up early on, there might still be a choice to survive. But, we chose to fight with them and arrogantly wanted to defeat them.
Regretted?. Yeah, I'm sorry. But, what use was that regret, in this world, no one sold the medicine of regret.
"Y, Your Grace... S, I still have unfinished business, I beg you to resign."
"S, I should also re-arrange some soldiers for the border."
"Sorry Your Majesty, I seem to have to check the delivery of the goods..."
"..."
These fucking ministers. They try to escape and save their lives. They were the ones who squeaked the hardest to give the foreign troops a lesson and a beating, but when it came to current conditions, they were the ones who ran the fastest like rabbit's foot...
Minister Fang:"Omong is empty. You are cowards, profiteers. When there is an advantage, you will swarm like flies, but when the country reaches its current position, you run like a rabbit's foot...!"
Minister Zhuo:"Do not think we do not know how much state money you are embezzling. You still want to run away after becoming a leech for this country?!."
After much berating, minister Zhuo and Minister Fang immediately came forward and knelt before me.
Minister Zhuo:"Your Majesty, our life and death will be with this country. We will always be faithful and with you, Your Majesty."
Minister Fang:"That's right, Your Majesty. We will be with you until the end."
Jianlin:"Yes."
After laying that out, I ordered someone to invite all the queens and palace concubines and come to the meeting room.
"Your Majesty, what should we do, you should do something to save our children. If not_"
Jianlin:"Silence...!"
As soon as it came, before entering the doorway, Queen Viil said loudly. He really started to drain dry my remaining patience this time.
Jianlin: "If it wasn't for your actions that stirred the army as you pleased and supported the fool Phirios acting at will, would this have been possible?!."
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself from the anger. In the current state, anger will only make things worse.
I looked at everyone present. They were currently bowing their heads and dark-faced. I could see many expressions of fear and helplessness on them.
"Your Majesty, please excuse me...!"
An official, suddenly said and prepared to leave.
"S, me too...!"
"I too...!"
Some officials who had been angered by Minister Fang and Minister Zhuo began to make up their minds and prepared to leave.
Minister Zhuo:"Your Majesty, should we_"
Jianlin:"No, let the brand go."
Minister Zhuo intended to stop them from leaving, but I rejected the idea. Maybe they went to evacuate their family members or others. I can't just cut their lifeline.
Of the 8 Ministers and 10 high-ranking officials, only 4 ministers and 6 high-ranking officials will leave. Other than them, it seems that the remaining ministers are a little smarter. Those ministers, other than those who are completely loyal to me, they just stay here to try to maintain their positions in the new government.
I also noticed the concubines who were hesitating whether they would stay or leave together with the officials. How could I not know the concubines who have been with me for so long. I know that they are considering the advantages and disadvantages of every decision they will take.
Viil:"Your Majesty, h, should we also go...?"
Jianlin:"I'm not going, if you want to go, you can go alone."
"I'll stay...!"
The soft voice of a woman interrupts the thoughts of the concubines. As I looked up, I saw that it was a woman with a meek face, but there was firmness in her eyes. The woman was only dressed a little modestly and made up, even so, she looked like a blooming flower, so beautiful and fragile.
Her beauty was only slightly below that of the Viil queen, but she had a calmer and broader-minded temperament. He was Zhang Zilin. Zhang Zilin was my childhood best friend who always accompanied me no matter what the circumstances. She was very kind and very capable, but her position was always suppressed by the Viil queen and in the end she only occupied the position of empress.
For the war inside the Harem, I can only take a little action. Of course I want to help her well into the position of queen, but with her being in the position of queen, she will probably have more difficulties than her current position. Moreover, the Viil queen has a higher social position, so it will also be difficult for me to take down the Viil queen and replace it with Zhang Zilin.
"We, we will also stay...!"
"Yes..."
"..."
The concubines who were still hesitating, they were also reassured by empress Zhang Zilin and eventually chose to stay.
I nodded towards them and looked at the backs of the officials and ministers who were about to flee. They walked towards the exit in a hurry.
However, just as they were about to walk out the door, one of the frontmost suddenly hit something and staggered backwards due to the impact of the impact.
"Do you want to run?."
A calm and cold voice of a woman suddenly sounded from the doorway. There, a black-robed woman with a mask covering her face, was standing in the doorway while extending her hand forward.
It was that hand that prevented the minister from going out the door and was finally hit. Slowly, the woman pulled her hand and took off the mask that covered her face.
The face behind the mask was a white-skinned woman with purple eyes like amethyst. The woman had an extremely beautiful cold face with her black hair. But, his entire body was enveloped with a gripping cold aura.
"They haven't run?."
Behind the woman suddenly came the voice of a slightly muffled man. I saw there was a black-robed man leading some soldiers with silver armor behind him. Those soldiers were not warriors from Xuan Ming.
The woman turned her attention to me who was sitting on the throne with a face that remained expressionless.
"We were instructed by His Majesty to prevent anyone from escaping or from doing anything contrary..."
Hearing that, everything became clear. They were warriors of that foreign power and came to calm the situation and prevent the waves from coming.
Jianlin:"I won't go...!"
The woman simply nodded and her eyes turned to the group of officials who were trying to escape earlier. His eyes remained cold and indifferent. Under that oppressive gaze, a minister in the group suddenly came forward with a flattering face and an oily smile.
"Miss and this lord, we did not flee. We just want to welcome your arrival."
Seeing that there was no response from the cloaked man and woman, the minister still wanted to continue.
"For that war, I have proposed for peace, but His Majesty refused and chose war..."
Jianlin:"You..."
I didn't expect that the minister would actually sell me. He was the minister who proposed war and wanted to make the foreign powers accept the lesson. He was the one who proposed a war harder than anyone, yet now, he wants me to bring a black pot for him?!.
"Shut up!. If you follow my opinion from the beginning, maybe none of this will happen."
The minister yelled at me and tried to show his good side to the two robed men. After his escape plan fails, he tries to change other ways and please the enemy for his safety.
"These ladies and gentlemen, say... ugh... uhuk...!."
Suddenly, the minister choked on something and tried to make it easy. After that, his face became distorted and he held his neck tightly, appearing to be in great pain and agonizing. He was rolling around on the floor with pain clearly written on his face.
A moment later, the minister suddenly knelt down and shouted towards the sky.
Swos...!
As soon as he opened his mouth, many black insects crawled out from within his mouth and from within his nostrils. The insects continued to crawl from inside his mouth and finally filled his entire face. After the black bug came out of his mouth, the insects opened their mouths to bite and eat the skin and flesh on the minister's face.
"Hey..."
Many frightened cries were heard. The minister and the officials who were close to the minister suddenly withdrew and took a considerable distance with a face of disgust and fear.
The sight was very frightening and made anyone who saw it feel goosebumps all over his body. The insects continued to bite and eat the skin and meat of the minister until it ran out.
Only the choking voice of that unlucky minister proved that he was still alive. It is precisely this that is most frightening, the insects ate every part of their skin and flesh while the person was still alive. If you imagine the pain he is suffering, then maybe you will understand how scary it is.
"I hate people like this."
The cold voice of the man was mixed with the frictional sound of the wings and the chewing sound of the insects, giving an additional gripping and extremely gloomy chill.
I don't know since when, the cloaked man extended his hand. Around his hands, I could see many insects crawling. But, the crawling insects were a little different. The outer carapace is dark purple with a striking red pattern.
Though different, but I am sure that the death of the minister was related to that man. He suddenly pointed his hand at the group of ministers and officials who wanted to escape earlier then said coldly.
"I'll help you go, forever!."
Many purple colored insects suddenly flew out of the man's hand and went towards the group of people. The people did not know what kind of insect would attack them, but after they saw the unlucky fate of the minister, they tried their hardest to avoid the swarm of insects flying towards them.
But, will it be that easy?!. The purple insects flew very quickly and instantly swarmed the people.
The ministers and officials were trying to wave their hands and whatever they could to get rid of the insects, but it was all in vain.
The insects continued to swarm them and made the officials roll on the floor and scream in pain like a pig.
Not long after, the insects flew back to their original owners and left those people still lying on the floor.
When I saw the people on the floor, I was a little confused. Their current state was simply exhausted and panting on the floor. There was no missing skin, or bite marks on their bodies other than red, swollen spots similar to being stung by a bee.
This view was far from what I expected. Actually after I saw the fate of that unlucky minister, I guessed that the other unlucky people would be eaten up, but it didn't seem like it.
But I also doubt a little. Whether the insect looks scary will only have this kind of effect.
"Those who disobey His Majesty, have the right to die...!"
The cold man's voice sounded again. And then, a scene that made the hearts of others grow cold occurred...
(The end of this chapter.)
Is it too brutal and a bit disgusting?.
Maybe you guys can tell me what you think in the comments and I'll make a little change...
Okay, see you next time.(.≧∇≦)//~
