From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 156 "I am Dorn" "I am Vulkan"

The mage, who has white hair on his temples and appears to be in his sixties, is slowly walking towards the end of the hall.

Sarui is the full name of this mage.

He has no surname and no family, but he is also one of the most powerful mages in the entire Terraira.

No one knows his actual age and history, and no one knows how he obtained the extremely powerful magic.

The only thing that is certain is that it was with the assistance of Sarui that Alandi Otundil was able to eliminate dissidents and consolidate his power inside and outside the royal capital, and finally became the Minister of State today.

Come to the throne room.

Sarui walked to the front of the throne and bent down to salute, and calmly glanced at the body of the baron that was split into half.

"A bunch of useless guys!" Alandi threw a crystal ball the size of a tennis ball onto the carpet, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice:

"Three thousand city defense troops...three thousand! An army built with a lot of money, but it can't defeat two children and a group of untouchables??"

Following Alandi's words, the crystal ball that fell on the carpet began to emit a burst of light, and quickly generated a suspended magic screen similar to holographic technology, showing everyone in the hall an overlooking view of the east side of the royal capital city. .

The screen was replayed from the moment when Aoi first fired the armor-piercing arrow, until Dorn split the baron vertically into two pieces and the city defense army completely collapsed and surrendered.

When the magic screen dissipated, Alandi immediately asked loudly: "Sarui, what on earth are those two children!"

"The son of the Human Emperor." Salui replied without hesitation.

"... "

Hearing this, although all the Imperial Guards present remained standing still, there was no way of knowing what they were thinking in their hearts.

After all, their job is to protect the royal family.

It stands to reason that this group of forbidden troops should respond to the call of Dorn and Vulkan and immediately draw their swords to kill Elendi who is sitting on the throne and wearing the crown.

But they were the confidants single-handedly promoted by Ellandi, so on the surface they all looked indifferent.

"The Human Emperor...the Human Emperor again...ahhhh!! Why?! I am the chosen one to unify the political power. Why can he gain the support of the untouchables as soon as he appears! Why?!"

Elendi seemed to be touched by a heartache. She could no longer bear her resentment and anger, and roared like crazy.

Seeing this, Salui waved his hand, first shattering and dispersing the Baron's body, then slowly stepped forward, his pupils flashed with a dark purple light, and said in a deep voice:
"The prophecy comes from the elves, and they are not qualified to interfere with our internal affairs as humans.

And you, my friend, you are the orthodox one, don’t be affected by the rumors outside. "

At the same time as he heard these words, Alandi's pupils also flashed with a dark purple light, and then he calmed down, nodded with a slightly dull face, and continued to ask:
"Yes, I am the orthodox one, so what should I do to curb the riots of the untouchables, and...how to kill those two bastards of the Human Emperor."

"It's very simple." Salui bent down and approached Ellandi, and said in a deep tone:
"You only need to set up a magic circle and sacrifice the 600,000 untouchables living in the east of the city, and you will gain the favor of the gods. With his assistance, securing the throne and killing the bastards will be easy problems. "

"Sacrifice 600,000 untouchables?"

Alandi was stunned, and his eyes were no longer as dazed and dull as before. He immediately raised his vigilance and questioned:

"Sarui, what do you mean by this? Why do you say this? Who is your god?"

"My friend, what do you mean by me?" Sarui distanced himself again and spread his hands to show that he did not have the slightest malice:

"This is a very simple conversion. Just imagine, you only need to willingly sacrifice 600,000 untouchables to get the blessing of the gods.

As for God...hehe, He is omnipotent and omniscient. You see, my extremely powerful magic comes from the gift of God.

Therefore, with the power given by the gods, any force will no longer be your opponent. The elves and dwarves will once again bow to the capital...call you the king!
So my friend, what do you think I mean by this? "

"Be king...be king..."

Alandi, who had regained some sanity, instantly fell into self-desire.

He stood up and paced back and forth in front of the throne several times. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he looked at the commander of the imperial army standing on his right and ordered:

"The entire imperial army immediately sealed off the east side of the royal capital and cooperated with Archmage Sarui to prepare a magic circle to eliminate all the untouchables once and for all!"

After receiving the order, the commander of the imperial army hesitated for two seconds, and the expression on his face under the helmet was extremely tangled, but he still bent down to salute and responded respectfully:

"Yes."

Then, the commander led several of his men out of the hall.

"hehe."

At this moment, Elendi sat back on the throne, completely unaware of the hesitation and entanglement of his trusted commander, and said to himself:
"God...ah...I haven't heard this word for a long time."

"My friend, feel with your heart and listen carefully, you will find that God has already noticed your existence."

Sarui was still using his words to influence Elendi. At the same time, he turned around and made some kind of observation through the closed solid wood door, and "saw" that things were going as he expected. After that development, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

...

And this side of the air corridor away from the throne room;

"Commander." A Forbidden Army general lowered his voice and sighed:
"I think the minister was completely driven crazy by that wizard. He could actually say the words of sacrificing 600,000 civilians to God? This... this is really unreasonable."

"God? I don't believe in God. I only believe in chivalry."

"It's true that I look down on untouchables, but I don't want to kill them indiscriminately."

Two more Imperial Guards echoed.

"I said, have you all forgotten that Moido's dark forces are still expanding to the south? So we can't make mistakes like this again. We should kill that wizard."

"Yes, the dark forces are the common enemy."

"Commander, order the arrest of that wizard!"

Witnessing the Minister of State being bewitched by Sarui with his own eyes made the Forbidden Army highly unified in their opinions.

"Arrest? What to arrest for?" The commander shook his head and laughed at himself: "That old guy can dismember us with just a wave of his hand. In my opinion, only the Elf Queen Tinas Lothrian can defeat that old guy." thing."

"Are we going to give up like this?"

"How will you know if you don't try."

"There are still two archmages in the palace. We can try to form an alliance with them."

The subordinates wanted to fight to the end.

"Everyone, I have never given up." The commander explained: "The words of the mage cannot be trusted. Who knows if they are also in cahoots with that guy Salui?

So everyone, what we have to do is to cooperate with Sarui first, gather troops to surround and blockade the east of the royal capital, and secretly remind the Son of the Emperor to let the two of them help us hunt down Sarui. "

The son of the Human Emperor?

This time, the subordinates did not raise any objections.

Because the replay screen displayed on the magic screen showed that the two sons of the Human Emperor had extremely strong physical physiques and fighting skills, it must have been miraculous against Salui, who relied on magic.

...

A few hours later.

The area where the royal capital is located is already in the dim dusk stage.

The city was under martial law by tens of thousands of Imperial Guards wearing golden armor. All residents were not allowed to leave the building at will, and the east block of the city was even more blocked. In addition to the blockade by the imperial army, the east block of the city was also shrouded and isolated by a looming magic barrier.

A bird's eye view from above the city's east block.

It can be clearly seen that the residents mobilized by Dorne and Vulkan used all available resources to build fortifications to guard the main roads, and faced off against the Imperial Guards who obeyed the Minister of State.

In the northernmost section of the city's east block lies a large central square, bisected by a magical barrier.

Within the barrier were the rebels led by Leroya and the Glory Warriors.

Outside the barrier, there are elite troops directly under the command of the Forbidden Army, as well as Sarui, who is wearing a white robe and gesturing with his hands, seemingly preparing to sacrifice the magic circle.

And in the underground tunnel system outside the barrier...

"Dorn." Aoi stood in front of Dorn and gave quick advice:

"We cannot be sure of the credibility of the words of the commander of the Imperial Army. If everything the other party says is a lie, then you and your brother Vulkan will be trapped in a tight siege, which will seriously affect the direction of the prophecy."

In front of Aoi, he saw Dorn carrying a giant sword, Vulkan holding a giant hammer, and Thorjan and Pietro Bomir who followed him.

The reason why the five people appeared here was because they were reminded by the commander of the Forbidden Army not long ago that the Minister of State was preparing to sacrifice the 600,000 residents in the east of the city.

And the elite Forbidden Army responsible for conveying the message also made it clear that the Archmage Sarui will perform the sacrificial ceremony in the central square. At that time, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army will fully cooperate with them to prevent the ceremony from running.

Therefore, before the magic barrier was raised, the five of them went to the sewer outside the east block of the city to wait.

However, the elite Imperial Guards responsible for conveying the message did not explain too much, nor did they try to prove the authenticity of the words. After saying this, they left directly.

In addition, Aoi's intuition told him that there was an ominous atmosphere everywhere in the current royal capital, so he tried his best to persuade Dorn not to head to the central square rashly.

"Of course I know." But Donn's pace remained the same, and he soon passed by Aoi:

“But I cannot accept that I had the opportunity to prevent the tragedy, but chose to continue to wait and see due to worries, doubts, fears and other emotions, causing endless troubles.

Besides, there is absolutely no way that my brother and I would ignore the lives of 600,000 humans, elves, dwarves and all innocent residents in order to fulfill the so-called prophecy. "

"Yes." Vulcan agreed in a deep voice.

"I can't bear to face death and not save him." The same is true for Sol Yang.

"..." Pietro nodded silently, expressing his position.

Seeing this, Aoi had no choice but to put away her persuasion and quickly followed Dorn and continued:

"I'm not just focusing on the prophecy, Dorn, I'm saying that the central square is most likely a trap.

After all, no one knows where the white-robed mage Sarui came from and how he obtained such powerful magical power. "

"Whether it's a trap or not, my brother and I will personally deal with that pretender."

Dorn said, seeing that they had arrived at the entrance to the edge of the square, he turned to Aoi, Sol Yang, and Pietro and said bluntly:
"I know my words are hurtful, but the situation ahead is beyond what the three friends can handle, and I don't want you to die here.

For safety reasons, please wait here... Also, my words are not instructions or advice, they are orders. "

With that said, Dorn and Vulkan stepped directly onto the stairs and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"These two brats!"

Thor Young was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it, because everything Dorn said was true.

No matter how strong their individual soldiers are, they still belong to the category of "ordinary people" and cannot be like the original body who is not afraid of being surrounded by hundreds or thousands of people.

"..." Aoi had a complicated expression. He might be worried that the situation would deviate from the predicted development, or he might be worried about other things.
-
...

The eastern edge of the central square.

On the empty streets, only Dorn and Vulkan were walking slowly.

A group of elite Imperial Guardsmen who were responsible for guarding the square and ensuring the normal conduct of the sacrificial ceremony had long been aware of the movements of the original brothers.

But just as the commander of the Forbidden Army said, the elite Forbidden Army did not take any attack or blocking action.

In this way, the two of them "sneaked" into the central square easily and openly, and under the silent gaze of the elite Forbidden Army, they walked straight towards Sarui, who was wholeheartedly casting spells.

During this period, the commander of the Forbidden Army, whose helmet was decorated with a red mane, was also giving instructions with gestures, indicating to his subordinates to act accordingly.

now.

Dorn, who was only ten meters away from Sarui, gripped the giant sword tightly with a solemn gaze, then burst out with speed and strength close to the limit of his body, and rushed straight to Sarui's back.

Vulkan also charged with all his strength, launching a surprise attack one after another with his brothers.

Bah!
The storm sword easily split Sarui into two pieces.

Bang - bang! !

The giant frost hammer even smashed two parts of Salui's body.

"Kill the wizard!"

Upon seeing this, the commander of the Forbidden Army immediately drew his sword and led his subordinates to immediately surround him, preparing to assist the two original bodies in completely eliminating the threat.

however…

"Haha, you two little kids, you don't think my real target is those untouchables, do you?"

Sarui's deep laughter echoed across the square.

Boom-boom-!
Before anyone could react to what was going on, the commander of the Forbidden Army and all the elites were enveloped in a dark purple magical light, and they spontaneously ignited from the inside out.

"what…!"

"No…!"

The screams of agony disappeared in an instant, and the commander of the Imperial Army and all the elites were burned to death by the purple flames.

Immediately afterwards, Dorn and Vulkan discovered that the space where the square was located began to twist and distort, and the original royal capital buildings gradually switched to a dark purple-hued wilderness.

At the same time, very seductive words floated in their ears, and they just listened;

"You are just political victims of the Emperor..."

"If he really loves you, how could he put you in danger?"

"Child...your brother is jealous of your ability to lead, kill him...kill him..."

"The Human Emperor has never paid attention to you from the beginning to the end. He hates you! Silly boy, throw yourself into the arms of Moido and join a warm and worry-free family. Let us conquer the Human Emperor together."

These fragmentary whispers were repeated continuously, continuously impacting the minds of Dorn and Vulkan. However, among the many whispers, two sentences quickly gained the upper hand:

"I am Dorn, my father's heir, and Vulkan's brother...brother!"

"I am Vulkan, my father's heir, and also Dorne's most loyal brother and best friend!"

These two sentences seem to be... the murmurs of the two brothers?
