The fourth princess stamped her feet vigorously: beneath her six-centimeter heels was a thick layer of cement and steel bars - and beneath that was a barrier of unknown material built by residents of the old times.
The outer shell of the dead city "Guixu".
Within it, are the monarchs of Luzon who have never appeared before - the kings of the Taihai Chain.
……
The location of this ambush circle was discussed and set in the pre-war meeting; it was mainly proposed by A, the representative employee of Taihai Chain. The reason for choosing this location is simple: if the ambush battle results in an unfavorable outcome, the entire "joint forces" can retreat into "Guixu" -
However, most people at that time believed that the "unfavorable factors" were each other; and the strength and combat effectiveness of the Nine-Child Ghost Mother far exceeded expectations.
As for the calculations of Taihai Chain, the Fourth Princess was very clear: If the war really developed to this point, once they retreated into "Guixu", they would be turned against by the remnants of the Department of Dealing with the Nobles led by Employee A, and attacked from both sides by the kings of Taihai Chain.
By then, the joint forces would be wiped out in a blink of an eye; this would be enough to provide support for the initiator of the entire plan, the Taihai Chain.
……
"That's a good calculation."
The fourth princess grinned, revealing her sharp white fangs: But if you always try to take advantage of small things, you will suffer a big loss.
Many people know that hidden beneath Manila is the largest dead city in Southeast Asia.
But few people understand what this actually means.
The Fourth Princess is one of those who "know".
This means: they are standing on a bomb that can crush everyone into pieces.
"It's almost time."
The fourth princess looked around:
She landed lightly from the floating flag and strode towards the representatives of Merlion Holdings. Her metal-clad heels hit the cement, making a sound like hammering the ground.
The seven black-tie men who were standing in a circle, and the three purple-tie men who were leading the prayer, interrupted the ceremony and turned around. The fourth princess walked past them and came to the great sorcerer who was wearing a bright red tie.
Red Tie raised his eyelids expressionlessly and fixed his gaze on the Fourth Princess, who was a head taller than him. The stock market curve was reflected in his eyes:
"Princess. How can I help you?"
She took a big step forward and looked down at the representative of Merlion Holdings:
"It's okay, it's nothing - you're just not needed anymore."
She stretched out her hand and "gripped" the head of the man with red tie: the fourth princess' fingers were short and thick, but her palm was so large that it could even cover the top of an adult's head.
"Oh...oh?" Red Tie looked at her expressionlessly, without panic or fear, but with some excitement of getting inside information; the other hand stroked the panel embedded in the temple; "Clear all the stocks in Europe and Southeast Asia, and consider buying those in the Fangshu Empire-"
Bang!
The fourth princess clenched her fists.
As the head of the red tie burst open like a ripe fruit, the fourth princess's attendants also drew out the Han swords with long bright red spikes from their waists.
The sword flashed, and the sound of metal piercing through human flesh lasted only a moment.
There was no resistance, no resistance, rage and crying before death; every financial wizard of Merlion Holdings was urgently selling and buying before death -
The sudden change in the British Alchemy Empire will bring unspeakable shocks to the entire global financial market; and even if they face death, they must let Merlion Holdings gain the greatest profit in this turmoil.
The remaining purple and black ties of Merlion Holdings walked into the long night of death amidst flying heads and streams of blood from necks.
The fourth princess couldn't help but praise the professionalism of these financial wizards: even before their death, they continued to complete their work - and their reactions could barely be considered fast.
So out of respect, she also chose to let the great sorcerer finish his words before taking his life. Compared with the Grand Opera Troupe and other Southeast Asian forces, the financial sorcerers chose to put their chips on the Alchemy Empire before they died.
"It seems that the market is also optimistic about us..."
Although the financial wizard posed no real threat, she could not tolerate the slightest danger. In addition, her servants also needed to see blood before they could be sent into battle.
and……
Soon, the current economic market may undergo a major reshuffle - it is not impossible that it will even disappear completely.
The servants of the British Alchemy Empire either shook off or wiped the blood off the sword blades with towels; then they dragged the bodies of the Merlion Holdings representatives aside and stacked them together.
……
……
Chapter 260: Seventh Day of Disrespect (Part )
……
……
The fourth princess walked across the pile of corpses and wiped the brains and blood off her hands.
The makeshift shrine set up by Merlion Holdings had been kicked aside, and the servants formed a circle around the Fourth Princess, then knelt on one knee, ready to receive her orders.
The military alchemists took the computer terminal from the princess's car and arranged it according to the star positions of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil. The seven military alchemists stood in different corners of the formation and made minor adjustments to the data.
One by one, they drank the pre-mixed alchemy reagents and sat cross-legged; using meditation and chemical drugs to adjust their body and mind to the best state.
These military alchemists are about to dive into the bottom of the data abyss and use formations to activate the power hidden in the dead city: countless automatic machines are sleeping in the ruins of the old era - hundreds of years ago, they were tools created to serve human life; but now, these things can kill the people of the new world at will.
and……
What the fourth princess wanted to unleash was a force that was even more terrifying and frightening than these automatic machines.
Although it is unknown what name was given to this power in the old days, the Royal Alchemy Laboratory called this newly discovered, untested destructive mechanism:
"Aura Storm".
In the old days, humans used this mechanism to reshape local realities and transform them into materials that could serve as the cornerstones of communities. They also used it to tear everything down and start over when they were dissatisfied with the form and infrastructure of their communities.
The fourth princess swept her sharp gaze across the attendants around her and nodded slowly:
"Get ready to put on your armor."
The attendants clenched their fists and suddenly hit their left chests. One by one, half-meter square boxes were taken out from the carriage by the attendants and distributed according to each person.
The fourth princess opened the sealed box at her feet:
The box was filled with dark green alchemy reagents, and - a floating human figure filled with countless wires and artificial life-support organs.
It was a living piece of human skin—preserved by external oxygen supply and circulation.
These intact, still-living skins came from the living dead whose coffins were forcibly opened - the Royal Alchemy Laboratory collected white coffins from all over Western Europe, pried open these hibernation capsules, and took out the remains that had been sleeping for hundreds of years.
The skin of the fourth princess also includes major organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and part of the cerebellum: they come from her father, the contemporary Alchemist King of the British Alchemy Empire.
To some extent: this can be considered a living "person".
There is even a completely copied but dormant consciousness - the consciousness of the Alchemist King. This shows his love for the Fourth Princess.
"What is the smallest unit of 'human'..."
She wrapped herself tightly around her father's skin and curled up to protect herself from the storm that would soon rise.
"…And what is the essence of 'human beings'?"
The fourth princess silently recited the questions her father had asked her.
The Royal Alchemy Laboratory has made countless attempts, spending countless manpower and material resources, trying to find the exact meaning of "human" in the old times:
It's not the soul, it's not the consciousness, it's not the brain... They couldn't find a precise answer. But they found the most successful disguise method -
The "armor" worn by the fourth princess and her followers at this time.
……
The servants are still busy——
They took out one piece of "armor" after another from the sealed boxes, and then assembled and connected them; one by one, the alloy frames were removed from the edge of the "cloud car" and installed on the edge of each leather bag to serve as support.
The attendants were like craftsmen, connecting the organs hanging from the leather bag to hanging bags to prevent them from falling; then they carefully lifted the processed "armor" to connect it to the "ceiling" that was more than half assembled above.
Their movements were very familiar, and it was obvious that they had practiced them thousands of times so that they could complete them at the fastest speed when necessary.
In the blink of an eye, the entire huge skin bag rose up:
These "armors" are still alive - even without muscles, ligaments and fascia, the organs still contract and tremble regularly, causing the entire curtain to tremble and rise and fall slightly in the windless night.
It loomed over the entire formation, making it look like a circus tent where a horror show was being performed.
Including the "armor" worn by every citizen of the British Magic Empire present, this ceremony used the bodies of a total of 149 "living dead": almost all the bodies in the treasury of the Magic Empire.
Now, the entire expeditionary group of alchemists fighting in Berlin cannot arrange wartime formations at will - without a sufficient number of "armor", there is no way to mobilize this earth-shaking force.
There might be many more casualties as a result, and the entire eastward advance might be hindered...
But it's worth it.
In addition to protecting against the coming "spiritual storm", these human skins with their own organs have a more important function - there must be enough residents of the old era as a trigger, so that the military alchemists can access the control center of the dead city.
From the perspective of the Dead City: these humans who were born hundreds of years later are not much different from the garbage that needs to be cleaned up... No, the classification seems to be more complicated.
Even with two layers of protection - one on the body and one outside the formation - it cannot be said that every servant and military alchemist can survive in this formation.
This is a power that cannot be easily manipulated: every citizen of the Fangshu Empire present is determined to die.
……
……
The envoys sent by the British Alchemy Empire were not for the purpose of "Nine-Child Ghost Mother", "waiting for an opportunity", or even sharing more benefits...
From the beginning, the purpose was to "annihilate". With the help of the power of the sleeping dead city at the bottom of Manila - Guixu -, kill as many kings as possible in the Taihai chain.
why?
A raging fire burned in the fourth princess' eyes, and she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her fingers.
Of course, it's because of—
war!
Conquest, expansion, chaos; these are the foundations of the British Alchemy Empire.
The Alchemist King believes that the so-called "way to immortality" does not have the ability to break the balance of the situation - although people in this world have been sitting on a dry powder keg for many years.
All it takes to set the world ablaze with war is... a hole.
Perhaps the power vacuum in New Malaysia cannot attract other companies to settle in for various reasons.
But with Luzon reshuffled due to the demise of the great kings, Southeast Asia will become an increasingly large vortex, until the forces of the entire world are swept into the vortex of guns and cannons...
“Hahahahaha! Actually, that’s not necessarily true.”
She easily overturned all the inferences in her mind and used them as a joke to pass the time.
The fourth princess is the daughter most like her father - she does this because: she can.
"He who is content is always happy."
She thought so.
There is no need for an expeditionary alchemist group, no need, and even no need for the alchemist king to take action personally; a magic array can kill the board of directors of the Taihai Chain:
How could the fourth princess not give it a try?
She nodded slightly and uttered the words that had been engraved in the hearts of every citizen since the establishment of the British Magic Empire:
"In order to...return home."
Then the followers also responded in a low voice:
“To return home.”
The spiritual energy is growing stronger and a storm is about to rise.
