Star Forge Titan

In the brief moment of intersection, Catherine watched in astonishment as the altitude of her two companions slowly decreased, but that was just her illusion. In fact, this happened within a very short few seconds.

Just as the military magic vehicle was about to hit the wall, the second-generation hurricane thrusters behind Ivan suddenly started up, and long streams of flames cut through the sky like two sharp swords.

The fire element crystals were fully activated, the inert metal deceleration rods were urgently thrown out, and the hurricane thrusters—full power!!!

boom!

The already exhausted military magic vehicle was forcibly dragged upwards by more than two meters, and then the entire vehicle slammed heavily on the top of the city wall. The two pairs of tires dragged out four long friction tracks, and the Sea Spirit also landed in a similar way.

Three seconds later, Catherine, with her hair in a mess, stumbled out of the car. Then, without any ladylike manners, she covered her mouth and began to retch.

After all, he is a superhuman being, so he shouldn't be injured by such a collision.

Ivan shrugged without feeling anything. In the car below, Diana rested her forehead against the steering wheel and gasped heavily.

Now that they have left the lower city, the next step is naturally to split into two groups, but they need to temporarily explain the general situation to the defenders who have finally reacted.

At this moment, the city guards guarding the city wall seemed to have finally reacted and moved closer to the two magic vehicles with weapons in hand.

Just now, even professional soldiers like them were shocked by the shocking scene before their eyes and did not try to intercept it.

After all, even in Linde, the Central Empire, which had already begun the first magical industrial revolution, no one had thought of such a crazy idea as using a magic car to directly cross the city wall.

In any case, the first hurdle has been overcome.

Catherine forced herself to cheer up, and with just a few words, she successfully took over the command of the city guard in the area amid the enthusiastic gazes and salutes of many soldiers and officers. However, Alvin cast his gaze towards the night sky in the northeast, where the military base where the Giant God soldiers were temporarily parked was located.

Right now, the two magic cars can no longer be used, but he also thought of a faster means of transportation.

That is the well-developed rail transportation in the capital Lutetia.

In other words, Alvin plans to take the magic train to the base.

At the same time, he was thinking about another thing.

I wonder if the 'little' tricks I left in the divine skeleton framework in advance will bring unexpected 'surprises' to the mastermind behind the scenes?

I really want to see what kind of expressions they will make then!

A chilling smile appeared on the boy's face.

At the same time, an unexpected riot was taking place in Neuschwanstein Castle, where the Carolingian royal family lived.

A large number of madmen suddenly appeared and surrounded the palace. Their erosion was much deeper than those in the lower city, so that at least 60% of their skin was covered with black metal substances, making them look as terrifying as humanoid monsters.

The power of these deeply crazy people should not be underestimated. Although they have not mastered the professional abilities, their physical fitness has reached the level of low-level extraordinary people.

Therefore, the guards of the palace were also somewhat overwhelmed. Although these deeply crazy people could not break through the defense line built by the guards relying on the palace buildings for a while, it was still a very bad situation.

Because, for a short time, the orders from Emperor Conrad could no longer be transmitted to the outside world. Even the long-distance communication technique, which required expensive consumables, was being interfered with by unidentified individuals. Not long ago, a court mage specializing in communication spat out a mouthful of blood over two meters while casting a spell.

In addition, the Elrond envoys who had just arrived in Lind were also forced to get involved.

However, they did not seem to be too frightened by this, and even took the initiative to participate in the defense of the palace.

Except for three phantom knights wearing black full body armor who stayed behind to protect the second prince, Lord Ostolfo, who served as an ambassador.

The remaining forty or so phantom knights wearing silver-gray super-heavy armor all joined the battle. The terrifying power they displayed shocked the Lind people who cooperated with them.

Because they didn't use their soul power, these phantom knights were probably only second-level transcendents. However, their strength and physique were incredibly powerful, often sending a deeply infected person flying over ten meters with a single blow, as if they were simply pushing away a stone in their path.

You know, the Elrond demon nobles you have encountered in the past did not necessarily have such strong physical fitness.

What's more, the number of Elrond's demon nobles is relatively limited, and there are as many as fifty knights wearing heavy gray armor who arrived in Lind with the diplomatic mission.

Among them, the three phantom knights wearing black armor are obviously more powerful, and they have not yet taken action.

Conrad, who saw this scene from a distance, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, covering his forehead and sighing:

“Heavenly Father, why did so much trouble happen during my reign?”

Chapter 136 The Longest Night 6

Looking at the deep madman who was difficult to see in the night outside, Conrad frowned slightly.

Although he complained briefly in his heart, his reaction was actually beyond the expectations of those who knew him. After all, the fact that His Majesty did not cause more trouble was enough to impress people.

"Gallard, help me get the armor." Konrad suddenly said:

"Yes... um?" Galar agreed subconsciously, but then he realized what kind of order he had just heard.

Considering the presence of foreign envoys, he didn't directly ask, "Is there something wrong with you again?", which would have been disrespectful to his master. Instead, he looked at Conrad with a questioning look.

Even Ostolfo, standing nearby in a white gown, cast a surprised look. Although he had only been in contact with the Emperor of Linde, the Central Empire, for a few days, his previous behavior suggested he wasn't known for his bravery.

To be frank, His Majesty Conrad is more like a poet, a playwright, and a playboy who has both moved and saddened many young girls and young women.

As a result, the wise and powerful Emperor nodded vigorously at this moment, reaffirming his previous intention.

Fifteen minutes later, Konrad, clad in hollow, full-body golden armor, poked at the Neuschwanstein Castle wall like a giant flashbulb. The changes that followed immediately made everyone understand the Emperor's reason for doing so.

Although the guards guarding the palace were well-trained, their numbers were ultimately limited. If they were dispersed across the surrounding walls, their defenses would only be weakened. However, the deep maniacs besieging the palace came from all directions, making it impossible for them to weaken the defenses of any one wall.

But when Conrad appeared on the palace wall facing south like a golden bait, the deep maniacs surrounding him from all sides immediately showed a tendency to gather to the south.

"Sure enough, the target is me..." Conrad stood there in a cold sweat and whispered to himself:

At this moment, he actually felt that his legs were as soft as a Lindt baguette that had been soaked in soup for a long time, and he was completely unable to support himself standing.

Fortunately, this set of hollow gold ceremonial armor, which has extremely poor defensive capabilities but looks very good, hides a very unique special function. It can relieve the wearer's physical exertion by locking the leg joints.

If you change your standing posture slightly, you can even enter the ultimate lazy mode known as "Armor Self-reliance" while completely relaxing.

At the moment, this function really helped Conrad, allowing the respected Emperor to continue standing steadily on the wall instead of collapsing on the ground like a pile of gold.

Ostolfo, who was standing not far away, had a new opinion of his majesty's elder brother, who had recently taken him around to play and even gave him a magic car.

It turns out that he is not just a playboy who is good at enjoying himself, but he can also do something and take responsibility when something really happens.

This performance is indeed somewhat royal.

After the Royal Guards gathered at the south palace wall, although the deep maniacs outside also tended to gather here, the limited length and area of ​​the wall meant that there was a certain limit on the number of troops that the attacking and defending sides could actually deploy for battle within a certain range. This allowed the defending Royal Guards, who were originally far fewer in number than the attacking maniacs, to gain a slight advantage.

Could it be that all those previous performances were just a facade? But it doesn't look like an act at all? It's completely true to life...

Ostolfo, who was watching the game from the side, had a thoughtful look on his handsome face, which was always smiling brightly.

Although he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, his intelligent nature and the education he received as a member of the royal family of Elrond have enabled this beautiful young man in women's clothing, whose life trajectory has deviated slightly in a strange direction, to maintain above-average political sensitivity.

At this moment, some kind of chaos seemed to break out behind the densely packed Deep Madness camp. From a distance, two magical vehicles could be vaguely seen attempting to break through the encirclement and enter the palace.

However, due to the excessive number of lunatics, and the fact that these deeply lunatics possessed various strange abilities, coupled with some concerns, the other party ultimately failed to directly break through the encirclement.

However, they seemed to have noticed the different numbers of lunatics in different directions, and soon went around to the north palace wall, which was completely opposite to the south.

"Reinforcements? But wasn't the message for help sent out?" Conrad was a little confused, but he also saw a glimmer of hope.

Previously, due to the limited number of the Royal Guards and the vigilance against the inevitable manipulators behind the scenes, the high-level knights and court mages who were capable of breaking the siege did not dare to leave without permission, for fear of falling into the enemy's trap and causing the Emperor to be assassinated by high-level transcendents.

Similarly, the reason they couldn't force their way out with the emperor was similar. Furthermore, the outside wasn't necessarily any safer than the inside of the palace.

If the people outside really broke through the blockade and rushed in, they could use this method to break out in reverse, and perhaps try to send a message for help to the outside world. After all, although magic cars are new, there are still a few of them in the Swan Castle.

Soon, the two magic vehicles launched another surprise attack. Although the deep maniacs standing in front had serious physical deformations, they were still unable to resist the mechanical force of the high-power military magic vehicle and were directly knocked into the air. At the same time, the man in armor standing on the top of the magic vehicle also sent invisible wind pressure bombardments to the front, blowing more maniacs away.

Relying on this rough method, he actually managed to open up a path.

The two magic cars rushed to the outside of the palace wall, but were eventually surrounded. So the drivers inside simply abandoned the vehicles and, with the help of another person, actually flew up!

"A high-level transcendent? Why are you here at this time?" Ostolfo was somewhat surprised to see this scene.

The ability to fly is often a symbol of a third-level or higher-level transcendent being. Based on this alone, the person who comes here is no ordinary person.

The Royal Guards did not prevent the newcomers from landing because they had recognized that the blue one of the two magic chariots was the Sea Spirit, the vehicle of the Duchess of Loire.

As expected, the golden hair with a unique hairstyle shining in the darkness further revealed the identity of the visitor, which boosted the morale of the guards.

After all, this duke had served in the army before. Her responsible and serious character left a good impression on both her superiors and subordinates in the military, and her beautiful face also made her quite popular among ordinary soldiers.

"What's the situation now? Where's my brother?" The Duchess of Loire, without even bothering to straighten her appearance, shouted directly to the Royal Guard officer closest to her:

"Yes!" The young officer saluted excitedly before continuing in an extremely excited tone:

"The Imperial Guards are currently engaged in combat with the invaders. The situation remains stable for now. His Majesty is personally overseeing the battle from the courtyard walls!"

"Oh?" The expression on Catherine's face suddenly became very strange.

Did I hear wrong or did you say it wrong? She even subconsciously turned her head to look at Ivan and Diana, but they both looked confused.

It seems that I didn't hear it wrong...

Coming to the south wall of the courtyard where flames were raging with doubts, they actually saw a figure wearing golden full body armor, standing high on the wall, looking particularly tall and majestic in the light of the fire.

"Brother...Brother?" Catherine called softly, uncertainly.

"Oh, isn't this my dear sister? It makes me happy and worried to see you here!" Perhaps because of nervousness, Conrad's voice was a little strange and shrill, but it was undoubtedly him.

It was only when the Duchess took a few steps closer that she noticed the other person's face was covered in cold sweat.

"You shouldn't be here." Conrad said to Catherine in a low, blaming voice, quite unusually.

"Are you okay with me not being here?" Catherine felt a little touched, but on the surface she gave him a blank look without giving him any face.

"Uh, probably... no..." Conrad said hesitantly, his eyes involuntarily looking to the side.

"Hmph, since you have stood up so bravely today, then keep going. I will be responsible for the specific matters, and you will be everyone's spiritual pillar." Catherine patted her brother's shoulder, then drew the sword from her waist and devoted all her energy to commanding.

Although the Duchess was not as tall as the male soldiers, the morale of the Guards rose at a visible rate when they saw her.

"Well, this is probably Lind's characteristic." Seeing this scene, Alvin shook his head speechlessly.

Then, he suddenly felt an exceptionally bright gaze.

He turned his head stiffly, only to see a short figure in a white women's dress looking at him intently.

Standing in front of a group of phantom knights over two meters tall and shrouded in white robes, Ostolfo looked at Ivan with a strange look as he took off his lightforged armor.

Although the little guy didn't say anything and didn't try to say anything with his lips, and behaved extremely cautiously, both the Phantom Knights who saluted silently and the little prince who gently pulled at his skirt were quietly hinting that they had recognized him.

"Oh my, this is such a coincidence."

The savage Ash Titan Knight, who claimed to be an alchemist from Genoa but actually came from the frozen lands north of Elrond, could not help but sigh:

Chapter 137 The Longest Night 7

In the end, Ivan and Ostolfo did not communicate at all, and even their eyes only made slight contact before they immediately looked away.

However, the little prince had seen him before, carrying two women, one in each hand, and using the Hurricane Thruster to make a short leap into the city.

The expression on Ostolfo's handsome little face immediately became particularly vivid, so much so that people inexplicably thought of a necromancer who was acting in secret.

This made Ivan's forehead tingle, but now was not the time to worry about it.

Speaking of which, seeing Ostolfo, he couldn't help but miss Frey a little. Well, now is not the time to think about these things.

He walked quickly towards Conrad. Since Captain Galar, the guard captain who was familiar with Ivan, was present, no one stopped him from meeting the emperor.

"Oh, my friend, thank you for escorting my sister back to Swan Castle. I must express my gratitude to you here. Uh, but you seem to have more important things to talk about now?" Seeing the serious expression on Ivan's face, Conrad's originally relaxed smile gradually collapsed.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's target is the new equipment of the New Era Research Institute."

Considering that there were foreign envoys present, it was not appropriate for Ivan to directly tell the news related to the Giant God Soldier in his current identity, so he could only use the above statement as a reference.

Fortunately, the emperor had been handling all the official documents himself during this period, rather than having his most trusted sister handle them on his behalf. Therefore, he immediately understood what Ivan was referring to.

This news made Conrad frown slightly. He was certainly not completely ignorant of the Giant God Soldier.

This kind of strategic weapon, which theoretically has at least apocalyptic level, if it is obtained by the mastermind behind tonight's unrest, perhaps only God knows how big a mess it will cause.

In fact, although the appearance of the madman caught everyone off guard, considering the defense strength of Neuschwanstein Castle and the hidden cards of the Carolingian royal family, it could only be regarded as an unexpected riot at most.

You know, just your great-uncle father Wang, who has been staying at home all year round and is so old that he is almost counting the days to death, is able to single-handedly suppress the chaos that is about to spread to the entire city.

However, if the Butcher Prince were to take action, there would probably not be many survivors in the entire Lutetia.

Therefore, what really made Conrad nervous was the mastermind behind the whole thing.

Because of those messy conspiracies and intrigues, people still haven't figured out the other party's true purpose hidden under the chaotic appearance.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the mastermind behind this is obviously in a high position and has very wide-ranging influence.

Otherwise, how did such an exaggerated number of deep-seated maniacs bypass the city walls and enter the city?

How did that strange plague that drives people crazy spread silently in the lower city?
