Chapter 472 Battle of the Royal City

Soon, after gathering soldiers centered on the 1st, 4th and 5th legions, the combined army of the Tribunal and King Qin's Army immediately set off and headed towards the royal city.

This time Sheila did not stay in the Guards like before. After all, she is now the emperor. Although this matter has not been rumored so far and only some senior officials know about it, as the emperor of Hermann, it is of course impossible to She was put in danger again.

So now Sheila has become Duanmu Huai's follower - after all, there is no safer place than here.

Soon, as the Emperor-class Titan was activated, the entire army began to march towards the royal city.

As expected, the Council also reacted.

"They sent out a lot of soldiers."

Duanmu Huai took a look at the image transmitted back through the Valkyrie gunboat. As the army set off, he saw countless soldiers in golden armor appearing from the royal city and blocking the streets and city gates. At the same time, a square barrier of light appeared on the royal city, covering the entire inner city.

"This is the royal family's defensive barrier."

Although he was a puppet emperor, as an emperor, Sheila still knew everything she should know, so she quickly explained it to Duanmu Huai.

"I don't know the specific principle. I only know that this is a barrier left by the Holy Demon Order that was here a long time ago to protect the core area. No one can break through this barrier and enter. Once they enter the barrier, their flesh and blood will be destroyed." It will be completely melted, leaving only the bones and armor...Only members of the royal family can open it. From the current point of view, it should be my...mother."

Speaking of this, Silla's expression was a little gloomy. After all, she was her mother no matter what, but in fact, the other party had never regarded her as her daughter since she was a child. Even when she was imprisoned by Stisse, her mother chose that man instead of her...

"So what you're saying is that even if you defeat them, you won't be able to enter the core area?"

Duanmuhuai frowned after hearing Silla's introduction.

"Is there any other way? Like a secret passage or something?"

"Of course."

"That's no problem."

Duanmu Huai made a decisive decision.

"We will first surround the entire royal city, and then enter the palace via a secret passage. Then you go and close the barrier. Then we capture Prime Minister Stisser and members of the Council, and then we finish the work smoothly. Are there any questions?"

"……………No."

"Huh? You don't seem too excited?"

Seeing Silla's somewhat depressed expression, Duanmuhuai looked at her curiously, and the latter nodded.

"Yes, I actually regret it... If I had known that this would happen, I should have stood up earlier and told everyone about it..."

In fact, the reason why Sheila didn't say it out was very simple. After all, at the beginning, she was not sure what the nature of King Qinjun was. Although she was a canary in a cage, it did not mean that she was stupid. If this King Qin Army or the Tribunal has bad intentions, then he will be out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.

But along the way, she also saw how the Tribunal and King Qin's Army helped Herman's people, and her inner worries gradually decreased - of course, even so, she was not able to tell her secrets casually.

Until now.

"There is no point in regretting, especially regretting something that has already happened."

Duanmuhuai glanced at Silla and withdrew his gaze.

"We don't know what Stisser is doing or what he has. We made a decision based on the intelligence we have and brought about the current result. This is enough. As for this result Whether it satisfies everyone is another matter.”

In fact, Duanmuhuai can understand Sheila's thoughts very well. In fact, many people who are eager to foresee the future are like this. However, in Duanmuhuai's view, it is meaningless to regret the settled reality. It's like if they had known that Stisser would kill all the residents of the city frantically, they would definitely attack the royal city directly instead of liberating other areas first.

But the problem is that they don’t know!

So that’s it.

What else can be done?

Of course, it’s not regret. The deal is done, and there’s no point regretting it. All we have to do is think of new countermeasures based on the current situation.

So, with the ability to foresee the future, can it be avoided?

Maybe.

But there may also be a completely different future, perhaps even worse.

If they could foresee the future and head to the Royal City with thunderous force, they might indeed be able to prevent the future of the Royal City being massacred. But maybe that Stisser would run away in the end, causing a catastrophe that would almost plunge the entire Herman Kingdom and even the world into crisis.

At that time, you may start to regret if you had not changed your future.

After all, there is a completely different difference between someone who dies in a city and someone who dies on a continent.

So you see, there is no point in regretting it. Even if you load the file and start over, it does not mean that you will get the ending you want.

Therefore, foreseeing the future is actually a very stupid thing. In Duanmuhuai's view, any kind of foreseeing the future is like forcing a choice on you in a free sandbox game.

If you don't have this choice, you may just do whatever you want according to your own ideas.

But once you are given a direction, your next choice is to either act in accordance with the future, prevent this future, or ignore it... these three choices.

"Don't always think about taking shortcuts. What humans should do is to do what humans should do. Do your best and know your destiny. Know your destiny and don't slack off. It is stupid and meaningless to regret for irreversible events. What we have to do now is to consider how to deal with it!"

"……………………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Shira was startled, but she quickly cheered up and nodded vigorously.

"I know, thank you for your reminder, Judge."

"Okay, we have reached our destination."

Duanmu Huai said while looking forward - there, the gate of the royal city was clearly visible.

"Attack!"

With Duanmu Huai's order, the battle... began.

Titan raised his arm, and the next moment, a blue plasma beam suddenly burst out and hit the city gate directly. With the earth-shaking explosion, the entire gate and the nearby city walls were all destroyed. Then I saw that under the leadership of the poison sword heavy tank, the Leman Russ tank army and the Fourth Legion also rushed in.

The ground attack adopted a method of infantry-tank coordinated combat, that is, tanks were responsible for covering soldiers for surprise attacks. Considering that this was a street battle in the city, this method was more suitable. Of course, this kind of infantry-tank coordinated combat was not strictly modernized, after all, the soldiers were holding cold weapons instead of guns. Only the mages behind them looked a bit like modern heavy firepower battalions.

But in Duanmu Huai's opinion, there was nothing wrong. Who said that close combat could not be coordinated with tanks? Close combat is the bravest, most glorious, and proudest way of fighting. Instead of being like the sissy shemale cowards of the Titanium Clan who only dared to hold guns and hide behind robots to shoot cold shots, what kind of ability was that?

A bunch of trash! Cowards! Fish-faced aliens without noses! Unemployed vagrants with weird and wretched faces who had no reason to exist!

Duanmu Huai swore that if he met those damned bastards who shouted "The Supreme Good" again in this world, he would lead the Inquisition to destroy all the galaxies that had been tainted by these bastards, leaving no one behind.

But now, let's just watch the battle in front of us.

Facing the powerful firepower of the Inquisition, the soldiers in golden armor did not fear at all. On the contrary, they rushed directly towards the army in front of them without hesitation! !

Then...

"Boom boom boom!!!"

A series of explosions sounded, and all the soldiers were immediately submerged in the explosion of flames. But this did not stop the latecomers. They continued to charge forward, passing through the smoke and the bodies of their companions, and rushed forward.

Then...

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Another series of explosions, but this time, the explosion was not from the armored forces.

"We were attacked!"

Soon, Maria's somewhat anxious voice appeared in Duanmu Huai's ears.

"What's going on?"

"Those soldiers seem to have some special equipment, they will explode!"

Good guy, not only are they fearless soldiers, but they are also self-destructive soldiers?

What a trouble...

Duanmu Huai frowned, and then immediately issued an order.

"Contact An and Gu Leiya, let them take the magic troops to find a way to cover the firepower as much as possible, and also, catch a few alive!"

"Yes!"

An's action was not satisfied, but...

"We can't catch them alive."

Standing in front of Duanmu Huai, An looked helpless.

"Because they are all dead!"

As An spoke, Gu Leiya next to him took out a frozen soldier. Through the ice, everyone could clearly see that there was a rotten, shriveled face that looked like a mummy or a dried corpse inside - just as An said, this was not a living person at all.

"Have you figured out how they work?"

"Part of it."

Hannah frowned and looked at the soldier in front of her with some disgust.

"According to our research, the other party uses a technology that buries specially made metal into the corpse and then uses magic to control it to a limited extent... Of course, this is indeed a kind of magic technology..."

"What's the solution?"

"It's difficult. They only accept limited instructions, and their brains only have the instinct to attack. They don't think for themselves. If you want to destroy them, you can only defeat the core of them..."

As she spoke, Hannah took out a metal ball.

"It's this thing, but it's buried in the bodies of these soldiers, and it's basically difficult to destroy it."

"In other words, someone used this thing to control these dead people? So can we just find this thing and release the control?"

"In theory? Since it can accept control, it should be able to release control."

"Very good, I understand."

Hearing Hannah's answer, Duanmu Huai nodded, and then he looked at Shira standing aside.

"Okay, Your Majesty, please lead the way."
