Five fingers.
There were many meanings that could be represented.
However, Rollo, who was sitting in the cockpit of the Lionheart Knight, knew that this represented the effective duration of his GEASS.
Every bend of his finger represented a new step towards the end of his GEASS.
"Weng!"
The high-speed pulleys under the Lionheart Knight's training vehicle suddenly reversed, driving the huge body to change from a forward state to a high-speed retreat state.
The Knight's spear that was in a deadlock with the shimmering barrier was abandoned by Rollo without hesitation, in order to escape from the strange shimmering barrier as soon as possible.
“5！”
The smile on Ray Mingkai's face gradually became wider, and he bent the first finger of his open palm.
"Peng!"
Losing its owner's grip, the Knight's spear that was charging towards the shimmering barrier fell heavily to the ground.
"Roar! Don't even think about escaping!! "
The White Cat, whose fur stood on end, roared. An even more ferocious and huge shadow rushed out from the White Cat's body, like a lion pouncing on its prey, pouncing towards the rapidly retreating Lionheart Knight.
"Tsk!"
If the shimmering barrier made Rollo choose to retreat without hesitation, then the appearance of the lion's shadow made Rollo decisively give up the idea of continuing the mission.
The Empire's Sacred Beast, Long Fang Lion State Zero!
It was a strange beast that appeared on the Empire's stage with the official identity of the Empire's Sacred Beast since Euphemia Li Britania ascended the throne.
No one knew what its true appearance was.
Was it a cute pure white kitten?
Or was it a huge and ferocious steel lion?
Or was it the terrifying lion that appeared in the form of a wild lion that was far taller than a human, and used its sharp claws and long sword to force the nobles to submit?
No Britanians knew the correct answer.
However, what they knew was that when the image that once brought fear to the nobles appeared, the only thing Rollo could do was to retreat without hesitation and decisively retreat.
The dust raised by the high-speed pulleys formed a cloud of smoke in front of the Lionheart Knight training vehicle, as if trying to cover the Lionheart Knight's high-speed retreat.
However …
Ray Mingkai bent another finger.
“4。”
"Roar!"
A terrifying roar swept over.
His ferocious body tore apart the smoke and dust that filled the air.
In the next moment, the Lionheart Knight was faced with the sharp claws of Wild Lion Zero.
"Clang!"
Seeing that the sharp claws were about to reach him, Lolo instinctively controlled the Lionheart Knight to draw the longsword at his waist and charged forward.
However, the result was that the long sword in the hands of the Lionheart Knight was instantly broken by the Wild Lion Zero.
"Bang!"
At the same time that the broken sword was inserted into the ground, Luo Luo used all of his strength to open up a large distance with the impact of Wild Lion Zero.
"Boom!"
When the ferocious wild lion landed on the ground, the surrounding dust scattered in all directions like a flock of frightened birds. It could no longer provide the slightest bit of cover for the Lionheart Knight training-type.
"Not bad! But it ends here. "
The Wild Lion Zero's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and its right front claw was slightly forward.
The next blow would definitely be the blow that would kill Luo Luo!
The moment the terrifying murderous intent shrouded Luo Luo, he subconsciously looked at the sky.
“3。”
Ray Mingkai's countdown continued, as if he was counting the time that Luo Luo could still survive in this world.
The right eye that perched on the purple bird trembled. The moment Luo Luo's Wild Lion Zero appeared, he constantly and secretly strengthened the power of his GEASS.
Unfortunately, in these short few seconds, not to mention the Wild Lion Zero, even Ray Mingkai was not affected by Luo Luo's increasing power of GEASS.
Such a strange scene, since Luo Luo obtained the power of GEASS and became an assassin of the Empire's Intelligence Bureau, he had never encountered such a strange scene.
"How … is this possible!"
Luo Luo clenched his teeth and once again pushed the power of GEASS he possessed to a higher limit.
However, his young and fragile heart was one step ahead of him.
"Bang! Bang bang!! "
The rapidly beating heart was like a sad song filled with unwillingness, constantly pounding Luo Luo's body.
Even so, Luo Luo was still persevering.
He did not want to die here for no reason.
"Roar!"
The roar of a beast suddenly came.
The ferocious figure shrouded the Lionheart Knight from top to bottom.
At this moment, Luo Luo had no way to escape!
Looking at the golden flash that fell like thunder, the purple bird in Luo Luo's right eye quietly disappeared.
— — —
The next day.
The Britanians in the imperial capital did not feel infinitely happy with the hope of a new day.
On the contrary, the bright sunshine made everyone in the imperial capital feel cold.
Especially the Lionheart Knight with the Royal Guard Knight's emblem on the right shoulder that was painted red, occupying the main streets of the imperial capital. Not many people dared to walk out of the streets on this sunny day.
His Highness the Prince was assassinated!
The moment the Royal Guard Knight's regiment appeared on the main street of the imperial capital, this news had already spread throughout the imperial capital.
Originally, according to the imperial capital's schedule, today was the day of a banquet to welcome the Prince's return to the empire.
However, this sudden grievous news shattered this beautiful arrangement.
Among the people who heard this news, some were timid and hid at home, some tried to use their own social circle to obtain more information, and some powerful people used official channels or their own intelligence channels to obtain more inside information.
However, without exception, the Prince who had just returned to the empire was injured by an assassin when he was inspecting the Royal Guard Knight's reserve selection. The news that the situation was unclear now gradually spread throughout the imperial capital.
"Your Highness! Something bad has happened! "
Kanon rushed into the imperial residence where the Empire's second prince, Schonetzel, was in a hurry.
"Something bad has happened? Kanon. For the current me, is there anything bad that can happen? "
The talented Second Prince, who had once been in charge of important political figures of the Empire, calmly looked at his loyal adjutant, Kanorn, who had remained by his side even though he had already retired from the Empire's political scene and was now in the prime of his youth, only beginning his retirement life with his aged body.
"Your Highness! If it was something else, it wouldn't matter! However, this matter might cause unrest in the empire! "
Kanon looked at the somewhat fat Schonetzel and couldn't help but shout anxiously.
"Oh? The empire's … unrest? "
The blonde man who was sitting on the recliner moved his body slightly, as if he wanted to change into a more comfortable position. However, in the end, he gave up on this instinctive action.
"Is it Uffi … no, is it about His Majesty's side?"
"Yes. It's that Knight … the Prince was assassinated. "
Kanon spoke halfway and couldn't help but pause for a moment. Then, he used a more formal name to describe the information he knew.
"Were you … assassinated?"
Schonetzel's eyebrows twitched slightly.
As the former prime minister of the empire, he had already guessed the general outline of the situation when Kanon finished speaking.
"Kanon, get ready! We need to make a trip to the palace. "
Kanon was startled, but he still nodded his head.
"Yes! I'll go make the arrangements now. "
However, before Kanon could turn around and leave, Schonetzel called out to him.
"Kanon, do you regret it? Following me to this residence and leaving the empire's politics from now on. "
Kanon stared blankly, as if he didn't understand why Schonetzel would ask such a question.
In reality, Kanon only had one answer from the start.
It had never changed.
"No. Your Highness. Being able to follow by your side is the most glorious thing in my life. Even until the moment of my death, following by your side and experiencing things will be engraved in the deepest part of my soul. "
The adjutant's solemn oath didn't cause Schonetzel's expression to change.
However, from Schonetzel's slightly trembling fingers, Kanon could see the ripples in the heart of the prince he followed.
After a long while, Schonetzel sighed slightly.
"Is that so? Then, I'll have to trouble you! Kanon. Go make the preparations! "
"Yes! Your Highness. "
After the adjutant's figure disappeared outside the door, Schonetzel raised his head and looked out the window, looking at the blazing flame that was slowly rising to the highest point.
At this moment, the radiance released by the blazing sun was as dazzling as the empire under the control of Empress Euphemia that was advancing into the deep space of the universe.
"No matter how dazzling the radiance is, there still exists a darkness that makes one feel at a loss? Euphemia … Your Highness, what are you planning this time? "
In the room shrouded in darkness, a ray of light lit up.
A ray of light that could only illuminate half of the table in front of him.
Sitting in the darkness, Lolo expressionlessly looked at the table that was illuminated by the light. He didn't care at all about the environment he was in and the treatment he would receive.
From an outsider's point of view, the current Lolo was just like a puppet that had lost its soul, lifeless.
"Your Highness. Why don't you start the interrogation immediately? "
Viretta asked puzzledly behind a wall made of one-way glass in the room.
She couldn't imagine that an assassination actually happened and ended in her presence.
What was even more unbelievable was that she was completely unaware of the assassination process.
After the assassination was thwarted by Wild Lion State Zero, Ray Mingkai placed the recording of the entire process in front of Viretta. Only then did Viretta realize that the world she was in wasn't that simple.
"Interrogation? No. We don't need these things. In fact, the moment the door is opened, other than me, State Zero, and His Highness, everyone else would have been instantly killed by him, Lolo! Although this guy isn't that strong, his GEASS is the nemesis of most people. "
“GEASS？ Your Highness, does this world really have such a frightening ability? "
Viretta remembered watching the recording of the assassination process. She saw that Lolo was completely unaware of the assassination, completely unaware that such a frightening expression was happening beside her.
"Yes! It's just that in some previous events, most of these GEASS disappeared with the death of the 98th Emperor, Charles. However, I'm afraid that there are still some unknown GEASS hidden in the shadows of the world. "
