In the dim sea of stars, three golden starships hovered in the middle of the galaxy. These were the noble refugees who had set off from Monarch Planet, including the members of the Supreme Council of Monarch Planet, the nominal leader, High Priestess Ayesha, and some powerful ministers in the country.
As a theocratic civilization, it had been hundreds of years since Monarch Planet split from the Sovelin Civilization. The peaceful environment and the widespread genetic modification of reproduction had caused a serious solidification of social class. The descendants of the nobles were still nobles, and the civilians needed unimaginable luck and sacrifice to send their descendants into that circle.
In short, this was a feudal society wrapped in the cloak of a developed civilization. If it were not for the highly developed technology and living standards left by the Sovelin Civilization, which made the people at the bottom not feel so bad, the flames of war would have burned this terrible world long ago.
But what will come will come. The leaders of Monarch Planet chose to abandon the city under the increasingly fierce attack of the demons and sold the frontline soldiers to the demons. However, they obviously did not think so.
"How is the war at the frontline going?"
In the luxuriously decorated lounge of the starship, the graceful High Priestess Ayesha sat at the table with an impeccable posture, holding a cup of carefully brewed drink in her hand. She seemed to be wholeheartedly immersed in this delicious drink and did not pay attention to the outside world at all. This "faint" majesty was probably the kind of "bearing" they were pursuing.
General Reid, who was standing in front of the high priest, was the defense general who had abandoned the defensive line and fled with the nobles. He had also changed his clothes and was standing beside the high priest. Hearing her question, General Reid replied with a joyful expression, "Yes, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"The situation is developing in our favor. The anxious war lasted for a full five hours. Two-thirds of the fortress' defense was destroyed, but in the end, the brave soldiers used our unparalleled air superiority to repel the demons bit by bit! According to the battle report from the frontline, they are now destroying the demons' portal. "
"High Priestess, we will be able to go back soon!"
The handsome general's face was full of satisfaction, as if this victory was personally commanded by him. In fact, according to the tradition of King Star, no matter what General Reid did, as long as his soldiers won the battle, he would also be honored as the victor.
Hearing Reid's report, a trace of suspicion flashed through the High Priestess' eyes. She put down the cup in her hand and folded her hands on her lap. She looked at Reid.
"Are you sure? Was it not a lie made up by the frontline soldiers who were afraid of being punished? Didn't they say that the demons were so powerful that we couldn't fight them? How could there be such a sudden reversal? "
Obviously, General Reid had considered this question before. He immediately bowed and replied, "I'm sorry, Sir.
"The demons are indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful an army is, it still needs a leader. Our soldiers paid the price of the destruction of the remote-controlled assault ships. After eliminating their leader and the most elite army, the demons' formation collapsed."
After that, Reid reached out and turned on the portable projector on his arm. A picture that would make the King Star proud appeared between the two of them.
In front of them were the demons retreating in a hurry. There were very few of them, and they were all low-level demons. Behind them were the King Star soldiers in chariots and airships. After this battle, the battle-scarred King's Fortress was covered in black smoke. A third of the towering steel walls had collapsed, and the wreckage of the remote-controlled assault ships were scattered around.
This could not be faked. Anyone with a little battlefield experience could see that this was indeed a great victory.
"This is the battle report from the frontline 20 minutes ago …"
General Reid rolled his eyes and coughed softly.
"According to the vague suggestion of the frontline commander, the soldiers in the fortress who have been through a bitter battle still don't know that the nobles have retreated. My idea is that we should return to the King Star as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, it will easily cause a collapse of morale … Although we won the battle, the demons and the dead at the border still rely on the soldiers to fight."
Hearing this, the high priestess' expression instantly turned ugly. In her opinion, the best way to do things was to preserve the noble genes and bloodline when encountering danger. However, General Reid's suggestion was also very pertinent. Once the news that the rulers fled without a fight spread out, the image of the ruling class of Sovereign King Planet would be destroyed. Therefore, after hesitating for a few minutes, the high priestess waved her hand and said, "Don't worry.
"Go and ask the council for their opinion. If they agree to return, we will go back immediately …"
General Reid took the order and left. 20 minutes later, the three largest and most gorgeous starships of the King Star turned around and began to return to the King Star where the "war was over".
"Hum …"
The light of the starship warp bloomed in the sky above the King Star's capital. In order to avoid detection, the three starships quickly returned to the Royal Starport in stealth mode.
"Let the heroes from the frontline come to the King Star City as soon as possible."
The high priestess ordered, "We have to create a real hero to attract the attention of the people. In this critical moment, we need such a hero to unite the people."
General Reid nodded and said softly:
"David is already waiting for your summons in the command hall of the Starport!"
"Very good! Then let him come … "
Before the high priestess could finish her words, a violent noise came from outside the command hall. Everyone looked outside and saw the guards who were pushed aside and a dozen tall figures in gray cloaks. They were walking towards them quickly.
General Reid recognized the leader at a glance. He took a few steps forward and shouted, "You're the leader of the group.
"David, what's wrong with the soldiers under your command? The noble high priestess is here, make them quiet down! "
David was the frontline commander of the King Star Fortress. After hearing General Reid's voice, David's body trembled violently. He stretched out his hand and the hooded soldiers behind him quieted down. Seeing this scene, General Reid nodded with satisfaction:
"Then come over quickly, let the noble high priestess take a look at our hero."
Devon walked step by step towards the supreme ruler of Monarch Planet. His hood was very tight. The grey hood covered his entire head and body, giving him a mysterious and gloomy look. Such an attire was obviously not appropriate for an audience. General Reid quickly walked towards Devon and scolded him in a low voice.
"What are you doing? David, take off your hood and let the high priestess take a good look at you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! "
"Haha!"
When the frontline commander heard this, he let out a hoarse and low laugh. His hands in black armor stretched out from under the gray hood and grabbed the edge of the hood:
"You want to see my face now? Okay, I'll satisfy you, Reid … my general. "
"Ah!"
The moment David's hood was lifted, the maid beside the high priestess Ayesha screamed in horror. General Reid could not help but take a step back, his eyes full of shock and horror.
David raised his head. His originally handsome face was distorted beyond recognition. Outside of his cheeks, there were new dark green scales. His originally golden skin, which symbolized his noble genes, had also turned light green. Most importantly, there were two newly born black curved horns on his forehead. His originally wise eyes had also turned dark red, flashing with madness, brutality, and indifference.
"Crack!"
David grabbed Reid's neck and easily lifted him from the ground. In his agitation, ferocious black bone spurs burst out from David's back, shoulders and elbows.
"Reid, tell me … When you ran away and sold us to the demons, did you think this day would come?"
David's hoarse voice sounded in the hall like a signal. The dozens of hooded soldiers behind him took off their hoods, revealing their different forms of demonic bodies. After receiving the demonic blood from the Lord of the Abyss, which was full of tyrannical and destructive will, they had gained new strength … They had found a new mission!
They pulled out the sharp blades on their backs, and with unprecedented savagery and madness, they stabbed the weapons of slaughter into the bodies of their comrades who had yet to react. More demon warriors rushed out from the entrance. Obviously, under Devon's lead, the soldiers who felt betrayed chose another path.
Facing these completely insane comrades, the high priestess Ayesha tried to leave the place that had turned into a battlefield. But the moment she fled the command hall, demonic warriors descended from the sky and waved their ferocious weapons, blocking the high priestess' way.
"No … Don't … David … Spare …"
General Reid, who was held by the neck by David, begged for mercy. But the new commander only looked at Reid's struggle with a look of enjoyment. As his twisted fingers tightened one by one, Reid's face shone with extreme fear. The pain of impending death made the general's body shake and tremble.
He was like a candle in the wind.
"Your time has come to an end … Reid."
David took a deep breath and increased the strength of his fingers.
"Kacha"
A twisted corpse was thrown at his feet, and the commander of the demon warriors turned around and left without any hesitation. "The new era of King Star has arrived … Let the foolish nobles go to hell. This era will belong to the free people from this moment onwards!"
"This will be … our era!"
Bang!
David dragged the noble high priestess out of the Star Harbor hall by her hair and threw her at his feet.
Ayesha's noble body fell into the dust. The crown on her head, which symbolized the ruler, bounced on the ground and finally fell to the ground. It was stepped on by a strong demonic warrior.
Under the thirty-four steps in front of David, there were densely packed frontline soldiers who had drunk their fill of demonic blood. There were also civilians who had been told the truth, and some poor people who lived at the bottom of society who were eager for a big change. The soldiers' bodies were twisted. Their handsome appearance was no longer, but what replaced it was a kind of freedom that they had never had before. It was a new kind of group that relied on violence.
Although not everyone longed for the arrival of the "new era," under the spiritual guidance of the Dreadlord and Glabrezu, who were all over the crowd, people would feel … Oh, maybe it was not bad to change the way of life.
"My brothers, soldiers of the King's Fortress!"
David reached out and took the alloy sword from the soldier behind him. He put it on Ayesha's neck. He looked at everyone in front of him and shouted:
"When we were fighting with the demons, you might have doubted whether our efforts, our sacrifices were necessary … Let me tell you! We were deceived, we were betrayed! "
"When the entire civilization was in danger, our rulers, the big shots who rode on top of our heads, they escaped! They threw us to the demons, threw the rest of the country to the demons! They did not do everything they swore to do! They failed us! "
"Look around you. This is a world that shackles us with damned genes and bloodlines. The descendants of nobles already have everything before they are even born. The descendants of soldiers, on the other hand, are already destined to die on the battlefield before they are even born. Who is the one who decides our fates? Is it a non-existent God? Or these nobles who only know how to enjoy and not give? "
"Who gave them the power!"
David's crazy roar resounded through the sky:
"This unfair era ends today! From now on, our fate will be in our own hands! "
In the shouts of thousands of people, David lowered his head and looked at the High Priestess Ayesha. He said softly:
"Now, say your last words, my High Priestess."
Ayesha sneered and raised her finger. Her sharp voice sounded like a curse in the completely changed square:
"Traitor! The kings of the entire Sovelin civilization will unite to kill you … You are dead! "
The commander raised the sword in his hand and looked coldly at the struggling Ayesha:
"Then let them come! We … have a new power! That's a power you can never imagine! The entire Sovelin Civilization Sphere, the entire Great Triangle Galaxy, will be our hunting ground! "
"Poof!"
Silver blood splattered all over the ground. The moment David raised Ayesha's head, the entire King's City fell into some kind of unreasonable madness.
In the original palace, Saber leaned against the throne of the High Priestess. He played with a sacred white shard in his hand and murmured in a dreamy voice:
"How many more of these cute little things are there in this godforsaken Star Field?"
