I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 38, World Destruction Crisis Meeting

Holy Empire Calendar 5017, early October.

Central Black Eagle Dynasty, Falcon Great Plains.

This is a huge city built on the mountain and located in the central territory of the Holy Empire. The whole city is tightly attached to the mountains, overlooking the great Falcon Great Plains. Two large rivers flow from different places on both sides of the city. Passing by in the distance, the rushing river is like a waterfall falling from the Milky Way in the sky, releasing powerful vitality.

The Falcon Great Plains covers an area of ​​more than 100 million square kilometers. The finely woven canals and canals form a river network system that connects countless manors, orchards, towns, and rural areas. Two major rivers, the Warren River and the Sol River, run through it. Leading directly to the emperor, the will of the Black Vulture Emperor of the Holy Empire was conveyed to all directions of the Holy Empire along the river network and the asphalt road extending from the capital.

It has the most fertile black land in the world, the highest grain yield, and the most suitable climate for living. The fields are criss-crossed, densely populated, and business travelers come and go. , but also because of the hard work of generations of black eagle emperors for hundreds of years, it has been revitalized.

From the outside, Shengbai City looks like a semicircle built on the mountain. The huge city is tightly embraced by the towering peaks. Seven floors enclose the imperial city, and each floor has an independent city wall and entrance. The attacker must break through the city wall layer by layer before they can move forward. Along the mountain, the black and golden imperial city stands on the holy On the hillside of Baicheng, the holy emblem of the eight-pointed sun, the black griffin coat of arms, the golden scale mark and the face of Jupiter can be seen everywhere.

This is the Imperial Palace, the heart of the Holy Empire.

And on the top of the mountain is a magnificent air corridor building complex hanging on the cliff. This is the famous city in the cloud of angels, where the angel family lives, although it cannot reproduce the glorious days when tens of thousands of angels guarded the capital in the past , but the remaining less than 500 angels still have a strong deterrent force.

As long as the angel family is an adult, they will have the strength of the legendary level, and the best ones will be at the destiny level, and their lifespan is unlimited. However, angels cannot enter the virtual world to attack the extreme realm. This is an iron law, and the reason is unknown.

The current two archangels are Michael and Uriel, they are the leaders of the angel family.

The Holy Empire Palace is divided into two parts. The Onopus Palace is the office area, the Laurel Palace is the living area, and the [-]-court Banquet Hall is the entertainment area. The palace complex includes gardens, chapels, courtyards, promenades, barracks and The residence of the emperor's retinue and servants.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

Heavy bells sounded from the palace.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

In the majestic depths of the vast and far-reaching palace, a servant quickly stepped into the palace hung with black and red tapestry. Inside the palace, there was a post every three steps, and a post every five steps. The knights and the soldiers of the Black Eagle Royal Legion looked at everything nearby with scrutiny.

Stepping into the palace gate, the servant glanced at the side hall and found that the door was still closed. He hurried a few steps to the heavy palace gate and knelt on the gorgeous black jade floor tiles: "Your Majesty, it's time for discussion."

No one responded.

"Your Majesty, it's time for discussion. His Excellency Archangel Michael, His Excellency William, Imperial Prime Minister, Imperial Marshal Von der Leyen, Raven Duke Otto and others are waiting for you."

The waiter's voice was much louder.

The sound of the bell echoed in the palace gate from far to near.

"Albert, what time is it?" An old and hoarse voice with endless majesty came from the inner hall.

Hearing this voice, the servant couldn't help trembling, he quickly stabilized his body: "Your Majesty, it's already [-]:[-] in the afternoon."

"It's [-]:[-], you're a bit late." The door opened wide, and an old man wearing the standard Black Eagle Empire Marshal's uniform came out.

Standard short-inch all-white hair, wide and clean forehead and tightly locked brows, a pair of eagle-like deep purple eyes in the deep eye sockets exudes a bottomless light, gorgeous and thick character W-shaped beard and chin The beard is neatly groomed, the thin lips are tightly closed, the high bridge of the nose becomes the focus of sight, the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes and the deep nasolabial folds at both ends of the nose all indicate that he is advanced in age, but he still has a kind of professionalism. The majestic beauty that belongs to men.

Black military boots, several golden braids on the chest, field marshal epaulettes, the Sun Octagon Order, and the black Griffon family coat of arms reflect bright yellow light.

Seeing that everything was ready, the old man nodded, without any emotion in his words: "Let's go."

The Black Eagle Emperor of the Holy Empire "Sun Emperor" Isaac-Olge von Hohenzollern, the seventh emperor of the Sixth Black Eagle Dynasty, he was born in the 4930th year of the Holy Empire calendar. The twelfth took the crown from his hands and announced his accession as the Holy Black Vulture Emperor.

The power of the bloodline is not as good as before.

Isaac is 177 years old this year, and his body is getting older.

At the same time, in the east of the Kingdom of Rezlan, a vassal state of the Holy Empire, Attila's nomadic empire is dominating the Saran prairie. The arrogance of the Heavenly Khan, the Dark Messiah, and the Holy See Supreme Attila is threatening the entire continent. .

However, Isaac's Sixth Black Eagle Dynasty's comprehensive national power is far above that of the nomadic empire. It is a huge country with a total population of more than 4000 million people. It ranks among the highest in the world in terms of the number of powerful people, the total economic output, and the level of productivity. First.

More importantly, with the great priest Cecilia returning from the void in the 5000th year of the Holy Empire's calendar to cast the Holy Sea, the Holy Empire already has the capital to compete with the Khan Attila, and it is currently less than 100 years old Cecilia, the Great Priest of China, is in her prime, and she can guard the Holy Empire for at least another 700-800 years.

Isaac's long wait finally came to an end. During the long years of watching, he finally had the opportunity to fulfill the unfinished dream of his fathers—recasting the glory of the first and second dynasties, and bringing the Duchy of Northumberland in the north of the Holy Empire to The Principality of Wallace in the south, the Seven Shields Alliance in the southwest, the floating cities of the Dawn Islands of the light elves in the northwest, and the dark forest of the dark elves were reclassified under the Holy Empire.

Of course, there is also the Dwarves' Graham Mountains Kingdom, but the dwarves don't have to worry, these autistic short people will definitely surrender as long as they see the power of the Holy Empire.

But what Isaac never imagined was that the Holy Empire suffered a major setback after the first step in recasting its glory—conquering the Principality of Wallace. The main army sent to recover the Principality of Wallace even failed Before entering the territory of the Principality of Wallace, the 3000 vanguard army has been defeated, and only more than [-] people are left to withdraw.

The originally good situation could not be fought in an instant. After the victory of the Principality of Wallace, it took precautions and asked all the forces on the mainland to intervene. The Supreme Holy See of the Light Elves and the Supreme Holy See of the Seven Shields immediately came out to mediate.

Isaac is helpless, the great cause of the Holy Empire is not that it can no longer dispatch troops, but in this world dominated by order, everything must be famous, and the excuse for starting the war before has been used up. If the fight continues at this time, then the mainland All forces in the world will come to stop the Holy Empire.

In fact they have secretly blocked it.

The glorious era has gone, and the Holy Empire is no better than before, and it is impossible to fight against all forces at the same time.

And at this time, there was another news that the oracle of Jupiter, the lord of heaven, informed the Black Vulture Court that the legendary Chosen One had appeared. will come.

That's what we're going to discuss today.

Palace of Opnos, Courtyard of the Holy Fountain.

The long table has been set, the seat of the emperor is vacant, and the other four participants are already seated.

Accompanied by two attendants, the emperor strode into the courtyard of the Holy Spring.

The four important ministers of the empire were already waiting, and when they saw the emperor appear, they got up immediately.

The chief official is about [-] meters tall. He is slender and well-proportioned. His long white hair is tied into a ponytail. He has slender golden eyes, a heroic appearance, and the crescent moon mark on his forehead. The wings all illustrate his identity.

He is Michael, one of the two Archangel Archangels of the Angel Clan, the Archangel at the peak of the Destiny Rank, and the epic hero of the Angel Clan. In the mortal world, until the great priest returned from the void in the 5000th year of the Holy Empire calendar, but because the great priest did not move frequently, Michael lived more as a representative of the gods under the great priest. In addition, the archangel The chief was also the emperor's personal military advisor.

But in principle, angels are not allowed to interfere with mortal affairs, and Michael will only give some personal opinions on these matters. This Archangel has always had one ultimate goal - to kill the devil, and to make a living for those who died in the first blood moon battle. Family revenge.

The second important minister is the Imperial Prime Minister Wilhelm, Wilhelm-Albert-von-Waldeck. He is not tall and looks rather fat. Weak.

The title of Prime Minister of the Empire has been around for a long time. In the era of the First Dynasty, the first holy falcon emperor, Romani Wood, was able to subdue all repressions. No one was his opponent. At that time, it was the era of Romani alone, which shocked the past and the present.

It’s just that the first generation of the Holy Falcon Emperor was too good at fighting. His cultural level was relatively poor in the first few decades before the founding of the country. At that time, the gods of heaven often appeared, and they brought civilization to mortals. The empire created its own script, and a clerk was responsible for following Emperor Romani to listen to him dictate and write the emperor's edict.

Over time, this group of priests gradually evolved into the imperial cabinet system, and the post of clerk also evolved into the imperial prime minister.

Facing the imperial emperor who has ruled the Holy Empire for nearly 90 years, the prime minister Earl William did not dare to take it lightly. The emperor had a total of 22 imperial prime ministers before him, and 15 of them were ruined by the "Sun Emperor" Squeeze out all the value and throw it home for the elderly or reuse waste (outside the drudgery), and the remaining 7 are also down and out, and it is difficult to say a good death, and only one is barely a good death-after being the prime minister for 1 months He became seriously ill and died.

Even so, the position of prime minister still attracted all the nobles of the empire.

William knew he was lucky. The emperor was already old when he became the Prime Minister of the Empire, and his energy was not as strong as before. The death of Queen Antonina was a great blow to the Emperor, and he was also slack in internal affairs. He was able to serve as the Prime Minister for 11 years. It was sent to the garbage dump (referring to embassies in various places) to be used as fertilizer waste.

Imperial Marshal von der Leyen von Rundstede, a veteran with great military exploits, has a big bald head, a standard W-shaped mustache, and has experienced many battles.

Grand Duke Otto Raven, blonde and blue-eyed, with long hair tied into a single ponytail and draped over his left shoulder.He looks about 20 years old, fair-skinned, very handsome, wearing a white striped shirt, a purple suit vest, a light black tuxedo, and a purple tie.Wearing black gloves, black trousers and leather shoes.

Grand Duke Otto the Raven is the emperor's loyal loyalist faction, a legendary powerhouse, but what is quite interesting is that this Otto has encountered the same difficulties as the emperor in terms of heirs, and his five nephews are fighting for the right of succession. flow.

The emperor came to his seat and sat down: "I have called you here today to discuss recent matters."

"Your Majesty, Wallace's terms of peace talks are close to the same as ours." Raven Grand Duke Otto said, he took out a few scrolls, but the emperor raised his hand and said that he didn't need to bring them: "Those things are not important, peace talks There are only a few details left, and I have my own arrangements."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Otto bowed his head.

"Today we are going to discuss about the prophecy of the seven seals. Michael, you are the archangel, the elder among the angels. Tell me." The Black Eagle Emperor leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes slightly: "What the hell? what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, it is confirmed that the first of the seven seals has been opened." Archangel Michael said solemnly: "Oracle, the Lord of Heaven, we must find out who the heavenly seal is before the fourth seal is opened." Chosen! Otherwise, the world will head towards inevitable destruction!"

"The first seal has been opened? How come?"

"Seven seals prophecy? But... it's been more than 4000 years, and this has never happened."

The Marshal of the Empire and Grand Duke Raven present were both confused by the news. They didn't pay as much attention to it as Michael imagined, but questioned it.

Everyone's reaction made the Archangel Michael look more serious.

In fact, he couldn't believe it when he received the news, but the disemboweling incident that swept across the entire Holy Empire earlier automatically connected everything. The Lord of Heaven told him that the Chosen One had arrived, right under his nose!

Worshiping the Void Sect longs for the fulfillment of the Seven Seals prophecy!This is how they confuse and prevent the Holy Empire from discovering the true Chosen One!
"Your Excellency Michael, it's not that we suspect you, but..." Imperial Prime Minister William said in a deep voice, "For more than 4000 years, the prophecy of the seven seals is just a prophecy. How could it suddenly happen now? Could it be ……Mistaken?"

"How could it be wrong, this is the oracle of the Lord of Heaven!" Michael's golden eyes stared at the Prime Minister of the Empire: "The first seal has really been opened, if we let the Chosen continue, then The end of the world is imminent."

"Yes, you are right, Your Excellency Michael." Prime Minister William's eyes were bloodshot, and he also answered his head without hesitation: "Then the question is, where is the chosen one in your mouth now? Who is it? ?”

Michael's voice was suffocated, and the Archangel stood up and said angrily: "This topic should not be asked to me, but to you, the Lord of Heaven has long asked you to send people to monitor those possible targets, but your people What are they all for? Not only was there no discovery after the appearance of the Chosen One, but the list was easily mastered by the Blessing Cult! 80% of the dispatchers in a disemboweling event were killed collectively in this way, and the church allocates tens of thousands of gold for this every year Did Ecu raise a bunch of trash like you?"

The Imperial Prime Minister was speechless in the face of Michael's questioning.

But William has his own way, he leaned back: "I can resign from the cabinet at any time, Your Excellency Michael, as long as His Majesty agrees."

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" The Archangel lost his temper by the words of the Prime Minister of the Empire, and he said in a deep voice: "I request the cabinet to issue a statement to delegate authority and give the court the greatest power to find the chosen one. Do not let any suspicious target go unnoticed."

"The seriousness of this matter is far beyond your imagination, everyone, and Your Majesty, please take it seriously!"

"If the secular regime is incapable of responding, then it should be handed over to the Church of the Gods of Heaven, and the cabinet should respond immediately!"

Everyone present was silent, and they subconsciously turned their gazes to the emperor who closed his eyes and said nothing.

Is it really necessary to loosen the restrictions on religious power and let them search for the "chosen one" among the people?

Once the angels and the trial court are fully mobilized, it will undoubtedly cause a fatal blow to the imperial power and even the interests of the nobles. Angels have always been a group of dead-headed people who can't tolerate sand in their eyes. I don’t want to die and make it difficult for everyone.” Diode, once power is delegated, it will mean a “big cleansing” throughout the entire Holy Empire.

In addition to the gray interests of the nobles, the economy of the entire Holy Empire will also suffer a fatal blow. How many people dare to say that they are not afraid of investigations in such a large-scale business?
The influence of imperial power and secular power will be reduced, and taxation will be greatly affected, while the influence of the church will be greatly increased!

This is not in line with the tacit understanding between the two parties. Since the first generation of the Holy Falcon Emperor, the relationship between the Holy Empire and the gods of heaven has only been cooperation. The imperial family has never been a rubber stamp in the hands of the gods of heaven!
"The disembowelling incident does not appear to be accidental."

The emperor of the empire, who had never said a word from the beginning, finally spoke. His eyes were slightly opened, and a strong sense of majesty and oppression suppressed everyone in the meeting. Everyone shut up wisely and waited for his decision.

"The Chosen One? The Seven Seal Prophecy? Did you tell the High Priest about this?" The emperor's voice was calm and deep, with an unquestionable determination: "Michael? This is not like you, you should be the first Time to inform Cecilia, Your Majesty."

"Not yet." Archangel can only reply truthfully: "It was my negligence."

"Then inform Cecilia first." The old emperor closed his eyes again: "Seek her opinion first, and then make a decision."

"Yes." No one questioned the emperor's decision. There is only one Holy See Supreme in the entire Holy Empire. The long window period of the Holy See has made the Holy Empire suffer enough from repeated threats and interference from other Holy See Supremes.

Archangel Michael hesitated to speak.

Michael was very dissatisfied with everyone's attitude. He said the matter was serious, but these important ministers of the empire, especially the helm of the empire, didn't take it seriously.

But the last time Jupiter, the lord of heaven, appeared in front of people was the 5000th year of the Holy Empire Calendar. In that apparition, the lord of heaven oracleed all the angels and the entire church, telling them to obey the decree of the great priest.

From this point alone, there is indeed a problem with his program.

"Isn't Celeste going to make peace with Roboute of Wallace?" The emperor suddenly snorted coldly: "Tell her to come to the study to meet me."

"As ordered!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor immediately got up and left, and everyone also dismissed the meeting.

Ten minutes later, a noble lady wearing a full military uniform and full of noble and strict atmosphere came to the study of the palace under the guidance of her attendants.

A statue of an angel without a head and arms hangs on her chest.

The statue, which has always only had commemorative significance, now emits a faint phantom light in front of the queen's chest.

It's like... being activated.
