Chapter 859: Fear of Forced Choice
Chapter 858: Fear of forced choice
With the self-destruction of "Esdeath", the thousand-year-old empire finally lost its strongest pillar supporting it.
Luo Jie also launched the final strategy of his overall plan.
A few days later, under the teleportation light of the Teigu [Dimensional Phalanx Shangri-La], the Oberg Killer Guild and his party appeared in the imperial palace of the imperial capital.
General Bude, another Optimus of the Empire, the imperial weapon of [Thor God of Wrath Admelech], is currently on his way to the north to suppress the rebellion. The palace guard company that hastily gathered was led by [March of the Dead· Even the seven corpse puppets "White Sea Dragon" summoned by Eight Rooms could not be stopped, let alone the other Teigu users of the Oberg Killer Association.
In this way, Luo Jie led "Mailard", "Leone" and others all the way through the palace, blocking the little emperor and minister "Onest" in the back garden before they had time to escape.
Minister "Ernest" possesses the Anti-Imperium Equipment [Gem Headpiece Ireston], which can temporarily destroy the opponent's Imperial Equipment by shattering the gems on the headdress. It can be said to be the absolute nemesis of all Imperial Equipment except the Supreme Imperial Equipment. .
However, there are only three gems on the [Gem Headdress: Ireston], but there are eight imperial gear users brought by Luo Jie, and even the minister "Ernest" didn't even wait for the imperial gear user to explode. With the gem, Luo Jie removed his limbs with one move "Thunder Breath: Thunderbolt Flash" and dispelled his Imperial Equipment.
As for the little emperor standing aside who was trying to remain calm, Luo Jie did not touch him, but invited him back to the palace with great respect.
That's right, killing the little emperor at this time is the stupidest thing to do. What he has to do is to repeat what the fat guy "Ernest" did before - holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
I have to say that although the green-haired little emperor is incompetent, he is really useful as a tiger-skin banner.
As orders were issued with the seal of the young emperor, the imperial capital, which had been in turmoil due to the invasion of the palace, quickly calmed down.
Immediately afterwards, with lightning speed, Luo Jie launched a liquidation against the members of the former minister "Onest" in the imperial capital. Those who dared to resist were executed on the spot. In one night, the entire imperial capital was slaughtered with heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.
Regarding this action, which was unclear whether it should be classified as a "coup" or a "rebellion," the few remaining officials of the conscientious faction in the imperial capital remained silent with a tacit understanding.
After all, all the people with integrity have been killed by Minister "Ernest" long ago, and the remaining ones are just cowards even if they don't want to join him.
Then, with the arrival of the vanguard led by "Chelsea", the original city guards were replaced from top to bottom, and the entire imperial capital was completely controlled by Luo Jie.
General Bude, who heard about the change in the imperial capital, was transferred back to guard the western border by an imperial edict before he could rush back to King Qin. From now on, he was not allowed to leave the defense zone without permission, otherwise it would be treated as a rebellion.
The chaos in the northern frontier army was also successfully resolved with the help of "Chelsea" who had once again transformed into "Esdeath". The remaining members of the hunter army, the [Shura Incarnation Noble Chariot] imperial equipment user "Will" and "Banri" Flying Mostima] Teigu envoy "Ran" was also transferred to the north by a transfer order to take over the position originally belonging to "Esdeath" and continue to guard the northern border for the empire.
At the same time, in the largest central square of the imperial capital, Luo Jie, as an imperial envoy, held a public trial of the former imperial minister "Ernest" and his main party members, exemplified their crimes, and executed them in public with lenient punishment. He also announced a number of reform policies in public, which greatly boosted his reputation among the people.
The entire empire seemed to have changed in just a few days. The Geming Army, which was originally nestled in the deep mountains and forests in the south, waiting for the opportunity to make an uprising, was completely stunned by Luo Jie's lightning-fast combination of punches.
They have been revolting under the banner of "resistance to the tyranny of the empire". Now that the empire's biggest traitor "Ernest" has been executed, the once unreasonable tyranny has been changed into a benevolent government that is considerate of people's livelihood. The whole country is obviously changing for the better. change of direction.
The most important thing is that the person who initiated this change was the lord of Taidong Province. He had already proved his governance ability and skill with ironclad facts. No one would doubt that the empire would regain its former glory under his leadership. .
Except for a few careerists, the vast majority of the Dove Ming Army chose to take up arms and fight simply because they saw no hope. Now that everything is clear in the court, they can no longer find a reason to continue fighting. .
Luo Jie did not press too hard on the final unstable factor of the Ge Ming Army.
On the one hand, in the name of the little emperor, amnesty orders were posted everywhere, and those who were willing to leave the Dove Ming Army would not be blamed. They could return to their place of origin and enjoy the same welfare benefits as the residents of the empire, and distribute farm tools, land and daily necessities.
On the other hand, through his relationship with the former leader of the night attack "Najehitan", he met those people in the Dome Ming Army who really cared about the people, and their righteousness was divided and disintegrated from within.
If people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.
As news came one after another from those who secretly fled back to their hometowns, the lower-level soldiers of the Dove Army began to abscond in large numbers, and some even disappeared collectively from the entire organization.
The senior officials of the Dove Army who had dreamed of being a hero panicked, and used their cronies to wrap up the soldiers who had not yet escaped, and hurriedly launched an uprising. However, the situation was over, and he was soon restored to the position of general of the empire. "Najexitan" led the army to destroy them.
A few months later.
Witnessed by all the courtiers, the young emperor formally handed over the scepter and seal representing imperial power to Luo Jie, and at the same time announced to the world that he would abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne.
After Luo Jie calmly accepted the worship of all the courtiers, he turned around and threw the scepter and the seal to the useful tool "Chelsea", saying that she would transform into his own appearance from now on. Be this emperor.
After all, this world has no value in continuing to conquer, and it's time for him to return.
…
[The player "Night Dire"'s reputation in this fantasy world has been capped, and he has been awarded the title "Great Emperor". 】
[It is detected that this title conflicts with the title "Imperial Baron", and the low-level title will be automatically overwritten by the high-level title. 】
…
Before returning, Luo Jie still has one very important thing to do.
That is the choice of carrying the Teigu.
The rule of this illusion is that when returning from the end, a player with a physical and mental attribute of 1000 can carry an imperial weapon, and so on.
Luo Jie's attributes at the moment are 2000 physical and 2600 spiritual, and he can return to a safe space with two pieces of imperial equipment.
His original plan was to carry two pieces of imperial equipment: [Netherworld Flower Burial] and [Operation Armor: Haunted by Evil Spirits].
However, because "Marikawa Shizuka" who swallowed [Operation Armor: Evil Ghost Haunted] has the attribute of "mount" and is permanently bound to him, you can follow him back even without making a choice, which is equivalent to having an additional emperor. Specified quota.
This is a bit like a phobia of choice.
Luo Jie now has the status of the emperor of the empire, and all the imperial gears are available to him to choose at will - of course, considering the weird "fitness" requirements of the imperial gears, there are actually only ten imperial gears for him to choose from.
The scabbard-type imperial weapon - [Invisible and Formless·The King's Sword Scabbard].
Gun-type Teigu - [Romantic Turret·Pumpkin].
Ring-shaped Imperial Equipment - [Water Dragon Penyi·Black Marin].
Armored Imperial Equipment——[Shura Incarnation·Noble Chariot].
Wing-shaped Teigu——[Ten Thousand Miles of Flight·Mostima].
Space Imperial Equipment - [Dimensional Phalanx·Shangri-La].
Six-Ball Teigu - [Fast Pitch Chaos·Big Pitcher].
Bow-type Imperial Equipment——[The Bow that Must Hit: Shining Wings].
Gem Teijou - [Gem Tiara·Ireston].
Book-shaped Teigu - [World Encyclopedia·Longo Longo].
It's a bit ironic to say that he obviously uses a sword as a weapon, but the two most famous sword-shaped imperial tools in the original work [One Kill Kill Murasame] and [March of the Dead - Eight Rooms] do not match him at all. Spend.
Faced with so many choices, Luo Jie could only use the elimination method first.
There is no need to consider [Shura Incarnation·Noble Chariot]. It has the same function as the [Mimetic Armor·Evil Ghost Haunted] transformed by "Marikawa Shizuka", and its attributes are inferior.
[Ten Thousand Miles of Flying - Mostima] can also be crossed off the list. In addition to being able to bounce flying props, the function of this Teigu can be completely replaced by [Ingenious Doll - Lucifer], and the latter can fly faster. .
The third item excluded is the one that originally belonged to the minister [Gem Headdress·Ireston]. The scope of application of this thing is too narrow. It will be a sure kill when encountering an opponent who uses the Imperial Gear, but if the opponent does not have the Imperial Gear, This thing is worse than a brick.
The fourth item excluded is [The Must-hit Bow·Glowing Wings].
The attributes of this Teigu are good, and it also has the special ability to automatically track the opponent within the range when you call out the opponent's name - but the problem lies here, if you don't know the opponent's name, or you know it but can't pronounce it correctly. , the effect of this bow is very ordinary.
The fifth item to exclude is [Fast Pitch Chaos·Big Pitcher].
This Imperial Equipment is actually very good. It is equivalent to a single magic attack with six attributes. Simple but diverse attribute attacks are exactly what Luo Jie currently lacks.
However, precisely because of its simplicity, this imperial weapon could easily be replaced by other equipment or skills. Under the current situation where he could only choose one piece, Luo Jie could only reluctantly give up.
The sixth item excludes [Water Dragon Pony Black Malin].
The reason is also that its adaptability is too narrow, and its power is directly proportional to the total amount of water within the range. Once there is a lack of water, it will be a salty fish.
The seventh item excludes [Dimensional Phalanx·Shangri-La].
To be fair, Luo Jie actually didn't want to give up this extremely rare space-type Imperial Equipment. After all, its ultra-long-distance transmission function was too practical.
However, there are two shortcomings of this imperial weapon that cannot be ignored - the first is that the teleportation point can only be set at a place where the teleporter has been, and the second is that it can only be used once a day.
For a large player guild with many members, these two shortcomings can be completely offset by the number of people, but for a lone player like Luo Jie, the effect is quite useless.
Among the last three remaining imperial weapons, [Invisible King's Scabbard], [Romantic Fort - Pumpkin] and [World Encyclopedia - Longo Longo], it was really difficult for Luo Jie to choose, no matter which one he could not let go of.
There is no need to mention the power of [Shadowless King's Scabbard] and [Romantic Fortress Pumpkin], but the key is the last one [World Encyclopedia - Longo Longo].
This book-shaped Teigu is very inconspicuous in the original work of "Zhan Hong". There are only a few scenes and it is mentioned that it is owned by the empire's financial officer "Nishimiya".
Although there is only such a small part that is not even considered a supporting role, the effect of this [World Encyclopedia: Longo Longo] is quite powerful.
According to the annotations in the original work, this book records a map of the entire world, and the closer it is to the book, the more detailed the records are, even including minerals hidden underground.
Do you understand?
To put it simply, UU Readingｗww.uukanshu.net is a high-tech remote sensing satellite that can automatically draw a map of the current world!
Especially for players who constantly travel through different fantasy worlds, the value of this thing is even higher than combat-type imperial equipment such as [Kill with One Slash·Murasame] or [Demon Appearance·Devil's Essence]!
Facing the three imperial weapons that were difficult to choose between, Luo Jie scratched his head in frustration.
It seems...that's the only way.
It's not that he has no way to take away more Teigu, but this method is too dangerous.
It is no exaggeration to say that once he fails, he will face a fate that is beyond redemption, and not even his ultimate trump card [Demi-human] bloodline can save him.
It makes sense to save the earth for one day and recuperate for one day, right? ...Okay, actually, I slightly revised the writing outline and ended the Red World early. There is really nothing to write about later. At most, I will fight General Bude who uses thunder and lightning. However, this character does not exist in the original work. The impression was not high, so I just used Spring and Autumn brushwork. Well, get to the next world as soon as possible.
