Alien Knights

Standing on the ruins of the royal palace, Todd held his dragon head up, looking at the Muxi city below the mountain, the dark golden dragon pupils were full of pain and sorrow.

"Todd, I've heard about you, and I've always wanted to ask you a question... If it's not Ulster that's being invaded, but Muxi City, what would you do?" 』

Cu Chulainn's dying words echoed in the dragon's ears.

"When Muxi City was engulfed by the flames of war, the iron hooves of the invaders stepped on every inch of your land. The nobles only cared about self-protection, and even betrayed their country for glory; while the people forgot the glory of the kingdom, betrayed their original oath, and gave up their only belief... At that time, what would you do? 』

"You will become as crazy as I am... no, you will be more tyrannical and cruel than I am. 』

"Because we are tyrants! It's a beast! What we need is flesh and blood, killing! 』

Todd slowly closed his eyes, and murmured, "Tyrant..."

The sound of the griffin flapping its wings came from the sky.

The silver-haired Valkyrie Evie commanded the mount and landed beside the black dragon.

"I have sent Mary to a safe place. The woman was quite frightened, and I am afraid she will need to rest for a while."

Todd nodded: "It's normal for any ordinary person to feel scared when they see me like this..."

Hearing the Xiao Suo in the other party's words, Evie frowned and said: "Among men and women, only superficial people care about appearances. Isn't it a matter of celebration for a mortal to be with a god?" ?"

Todd shook the dragon's head, not intending to dwell on this issue, so he asked, "How's the situation in the city?"

"The enemy in the port area has been eliminated, and the military camps have been basically controlled. There are still some important buildings in the city, and the final battle is still going on."

Todd lowered his dragon head and looked at Evie, hesitation in his voice: "How many people died?"

Evie somewhat misunderstood Todd's words: "The crusaders are invincible, without any casualties; the battle group responsible for attacking the security forces and the naval barracks, the combined death toll is less than fifty; the casualties on other battlefields are unknown. , but should be within the expected range.”

Evie added: "According to your instructions, all the soldiers in Froststone City did not disturb the citizens, and only targeted the rebels. But it is undeniable that some rebels dropped their weapons and sneaked into the houses , which has caused certain difficulties to our search work."

Todd asked again: "Any news about Rachel and the others?"

Evie curled her lips: "God knows where those members of the Alien Association hid. When the war is over, they will naturally come out again."

Todd turned his head and looked at the distant sea level.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, a faint blush is slowly expanding, and the warm sunlight dispels the darkness, bringing light to the whole city bit by bit.

A tumultuous night passed.

After the people in Muxi City experienced a frightening night, facing the morning sun, the more courageous people quietly opened the windows and secretly observed the scene on the street.

The corpses of the rebels were scattered all over the ground, while the soldiers of the Froststone City were in groups of three or four, searching every corner like a carpet. There is no harassment in the private residences of West citizens.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the municipal office staff of Muxi City, with the convening order signed by the cabinet, went door to door and knocked on the door of every household in the upper city.

Looking at the soldiers following behind the office staff, the citizens of Muxi in the upper city reluctantly walked out of their homes and were semi-forced to Muxi Square.

The original clean, tidy and vast citizen square is now full of soldiers from Froststone City, and nearly a hundred high platforms have been temporarily erected throughout the square.

At ten o'clock sharp, Prime Minister Emerson walked to the center of the square with other cabinet members, and with the help of the "sound wave enhancement" alien ability, read a temporary draft palace announcement to all citizens in the upper city.

At the beginning of the announcement, it first introduced the reasons for the rebellion in detail, as well as the brief introduction of the rebel leaders, as well as the forces behind them hidden in Muxi City.

When the citizens heard a series of familiar terms from Emerson's mouth - the Dawson family, the business alliance, and Rutledge, everyone's faces were filled with uncontrollable shock and panic.

Next, the spies who had been hiding in Muxi City for many years, the officers who took bribes and rebelled, as well as the captured mercenaries and pirates, were pulled before the citizens one by one, and began to confess what they had done tearfully. know everything.

In the end, a large number of letters searched from the criminal's home, as well as Muxi City's capture plan and division of labor, and the weapons and flags used by the rebels were also publicly displayed in front of everyone.

Listening to the discussions and exclamations from the square, Emerson first sighed heavily, and then said: "Before this rebellion started, the Holy King had already seen everything. He came here today, and he has something to say. Wants to tell his people with his own mouth."

As soon as Todd, who was wearing a fur robe and regained his human form, stepped onto the high platform in the middle of the square, the citizens cheered enthusiastically.

Looking at the grand occasion of the crowd, Todd waved to everyone that he had something to say.

"In the past period of time, I deliberately left the kingdom, established the knight council and election system before I left, and handed over the jurisdiction of this city to every citizen present. I originally hoped that everyone present Everyone in the kingdom can properly use the power in their hands, think rationally and comprehensively about everything in the kingdom, and make reasonable decisions... But it seems that I may have made a mistake."

Speaking of this, Todd paused for a moment: "When I came back, guess what I saw?!"

"Selfish! Greedy! Stupid! Ignorant! I saw a group of idiots who only learned a little knowledge and were complacent! I saw a group of living corpses who only cared about money and had forgotten about glory and faith!"

Todd looked at the people in the square and said loudly: "Look at yourselves! Think about your past! When Muxi City was first established, we were surrounded by enemies and precarious. In order to protect the land under our feet, everyone Donate their only family property, donate the only food left in the family, and even tear off the curtains to make bandages! At that time, in Muxi City, did you ever abandon God? Have you ever betrayed your faith?"

"And now, in this kingdom, money has become the only criterion for measuring the value of life! Scholars can sell their dignity for money; soldiers can betray their country for money; knights can even break their oaths for money!"

"What has become of Muxi City now?!"

"A sinful city that lost its faith and completely fell into the magic of money!"

Todd untied the fur robe on his body, threw it into the air, and roared: "You have only touched some fur of the truth, and you keep shouting that God is dead. Now! Let me tell you, your mouth That long-dead god is standing before your eyes!"

Black iron scales slowly emerged from Todd's skin, huge sharp claws grew outward from his palm, blazing flames wrapped around his body, and broad dragon wings burst out from his back.

Amid the screams and prayers of the people, Todd, who transformed into a dragon, roared deafeningly towards the sky.
