Yes, he just needed to adjust his physical body.
This was not difficult for Lu Sheng.
After the court session ended, Lu Sheng got up from the throne and walked out through the small door on the right side of the palace.
There was already a new court wizard waiting outside.
Wizard Karl was the previous court wizard, the junior of the wizard who followed Gado. Both of them were students of the same teacher.
Later, that guy went to the Land of Black Law, while Karl stayed behind to take care of his former teacher.
Both of them had different endings.
Now that that guy was dead, Karl finally had a chance to take over.
He waited respectfully outside the small door, his head lowered in silence, his posture humble.
Lu Sheng glanced at him. This handsome middle-aged man with long blonde hair was not weak in the slightest. Although he was not as strong as the guy from before, in this barren environment where no extraordinary power could be found, he was considered to be a very good person.
"Let's go. Have a chat with me."
He ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Karl nodded hurriedly.
"Speaking of which, what level of power do you have among the wizards? I'm talking about the entire world of wizards, including the Land of Black Law, "Lu Sheng asked.
"According to the standard wizard ranking, I'm at Level Four. My senior Anlow, the one you killed before, is at Level Five," Karl replied quickly.
"What's the highest level?"
"It's said that there are Level Six beings in the Land of Black Law. There are even rumors that there are Level Nine powerhouses in Aonado that are close to God. However, no one has ever seen if they are alive. The one who has always appeared is the Level Eight Chairman of Aonado, Sir Elanos, "Karl answered succinctly. He knew that the new emperor did not like to beat around the bush.
"Very well." Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks. "I can see the ambition for power and authority in your eyes. So, are you willing to follow me? Truly and thoroughly follow me, and forever submit to me. "
"..." Karl fell silent. He could not understand what Lu Sheng meant.
"I'm sure you've been wondering why the originally weak Princess Lannier would suddenly explode with such power, right?" Am I right? "Lu Sheng smiled.
"Yes, what you said is indeed what we have been wondering about." Karl didn't deny it and nodded slowly.
"It's actually very simple." Lu Sheng laughed. "Because of me, in despair and death, I awakened the memories of my past life. And in my previous life, I look exactly like what you see now. "
"Past lives … Are there really past lives?" Karl's pupils shrank as he said in shock.
"Of course." Lu Sheng grinned. "I never lie to the weak. This is basic etiquette."
Karl fell into deep shock and thought. He did not suspect that Lu Sheng was deceiving him, because as an emperor, with Lu Sheng's personality and status, there was no need for him to deceive a pawn that could be easily killed.
Yes, he felt like he was a pawn that could be replaced at any moment, and the slightest bit of carelessness before this Imperial Monarch might cause him to be easily crushed.
"Think about it." Lu Sheng no longer paid attention to him. At this time, the two of them had unknowingly walked into a newly rearranged side hall.
This side hall was surrounded by the Giant Bone Guards that Lu Sheng had modified. They were the two giant men who had killed the leader of the Ice Dragon Mercenary Corps before.
There were at least twenty such powerful warriors here. They were all volunteers selected by Lu Sheng from the guards who were loyal to the empire and him.
These people were originally loyal and devoted. Now, after being modified by his flesh and blood, they became even more like death warriors, willing to sacrifice everything for him at any time.
They were Lu Sheng's most staunch supporters and backing in this war.
He pushed open the door of the side hall with big strides. Inside, two tall Giant Bone Guards were guarding a huge metal pool filled with blood.
The blood in the pool was tumbling, and from time to time, white bones could be seen floating and sinking with the blood.
Lu Sheng strode in, and the two Giant Bone Guards hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
He nodded slightly, but his eyes fell straight on the tumbling blood in the blood pool.
Karl, who was behind him, came in. At first glance, he felt that something seemed to be condensing in the blood pool. It seemed to be a vague human body.
"Float up," Lu Sheng ordered.
The whole blood pool shook slightly and suddenly stopped tumbling. In the middle of the pool, a white female corpse with a beheaded head slowly emerged.
Karl's pupils shrank suddenly. He recognized the identity of the female corpse. It was the Queen who had been executed, Lanier's mother, Icadne.
"This!? This … is … resurrecting a human body!? " He was shocked and could not help but take a step back. He felt that the whole side hall was filled with a strong bloody and evil aura.
Resurrection Spell was recognized as one of the most evil spells in the entire mage world.
Because if a dead body wanted to be reborn, there was no other way but to plunder other lives and turn them into one's own.
Therefore, all resurrection spells were evil rituals with the purpose of taking other people's lives.
I didn't expect His Majesty to know such evil spells!
Carl took another step back with his heart pounding.
"Are you afraid? That's stupid. " Lu Sheng sneered. "Mother is not dead at all. Her body can still be saved and has not lost its vitality. I'm just using this method to slowly promote her body to heal again. "Before the soul completely dissipated, there was hope for any life to be saved again.
He did not say the latter words. With the level of knowledge in this world, even if he said the principle, no one could understand it. He was too lazy to talk nonsense.
"Your Majesty, what do you need me to do?" Karl asked in a deep voice.
"It's very simple." Lu Sheng pointed to the blood pool. "If you are willing to become my true follower, then I can promise to give you supreme power and lifespan. Even if you die, I can still pull you back by force, just like Mother did. Death is not a big deal for me. "
Karl bit his lip and looked deeply at Queen Icadne, who was slowly opening her eyes in the blood pool. He finally stopped hesitating. In the current situation, he had seen such a secret. If he did not agree, the only ending that awaited him was death.
"Okay, I agree!"
Lu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
He had no choice. The people around him were all boorish people. They knew too little about mysticism. They did not even know how to carve a formation pattern. It was a waste of time.
He, who was seriously short of spellcasters, could only rope in the only court wizard, Karl, several times in a row.
Of course, if he was still not tempted here, he could only helplessly kill him in the end.
"Very good. You will never regret this decision in the future. I promise. "Lu Sheng laughed.
He stretched out his hand and took off the metal glove, revealing black scaled fingers as thick as carrots.
The tip of his index finger slowly split open, and a drop of black blood was slowly forced out of the wound.
"Eat it …"
Karl's expression was solemn. Although he had already guessed that Princess Lannier had completely changed, the moment he saw her appearance, he still shattered the trace of luck and fantasy in the deepest part of his heart.
The Royal Highness Lannier, who was originally delicate and lovely, may be gone forever.
He walked forward and approached the drop of blood that was emitting a strange fragrance.
…
…
Three days later …
Outside the imperial city.
On the vast gray grassland, the continuous rise and fall of the gray and white army was like an endless ocean.
After a short period of rapid marching, the allied army, which was supposed to be 500,000 troops and actually commanded 350,000 troops, finally arrived at the outer city of the imperial capital.
The imperial capital had a total of two cities. They surrounded the capital from two directions like horns.
At this moment, in the direction of Southern Citadel, the so-called 500,000 troops of the allied army were like a tide, slowly washing over and stopping under the high city wall. They stopped advancing in front of the densely packed imperial army on the city wall.
The commander of the allied army was the leader of the rebel army, Gracie, known as the Shadow Sword. On the other side was the representative of the great nobles, Grand Duke Wilson, who was once a famous imperial marshal.
The two of them sat in the command carriage in the center of the army formation, looking at the nervous guards on the city wall with binoculars.
Those black-armored guards were supposed to be fierce characters that no one dared to provoke, showing off their strength.
Now, in the face of such a massive allied army, these so-called vicious characters had been reduced to trembling little lambs with fear and trepidation. Weak and pitiful.
"How ironic." Duke Wilson laughed. He was already over 60 years old, and the years had left deep wrinkles on his handsome face. His long white hair was tied into a ponytail and tied high behind him. His body was still strong and powerful, but he could no longer find the strength he once had at his peak.
Beside him, the Shadow Sword Gracie laughed a few times.
"Don't be careless, Your Excellency. A while ago, there was news from the imperial capital that Princess Lanny of the Empire had usurped the throne with her army. Now she has completely pacified the situation in the imperial capital. The powerful ministers Gado and all the ministers who opposed her were all killed. Even if Lanny was just a weak princess in the past, she can't be underestimated now. Although I don't think she did all these things alone. "
'"Yes, Lanny definitely has a powerful force supporting her from behind. Otherwise, with her kind and weak personality, even if she encountered despair and her temperament changed drastically, she wouldn't be able to do so many things in such a short time. "Duke Wilson agreed.
"There's no need to guess so much. When we take down the citadel and the imperial capital today, we'll go ask Her Highness the Princess ourselves." Shadow Sword Gracie laughed.
"That's right."
Wilson nodded.
The two of them quickly gave the order to attack the citadel.
A large number of greyish-white troops, like countless white worms, charged towards the citadel walls. Siege ladders were set up, and waves of arrows and falling stones were thrown up from behind the siege troops.
The imperial soldiers guarding the citadel screamed in pain.
But for some reason, the soldiers guarding the citadel were not afraid of death. They risked their lives to fight the enemy head-on.
For a moment, the two sides formed a tug of war on the citadel.
"What's going on?" Wilson frowned.
"It's the Superintendent Army. To be able to do such a cruel thing, the people behind Lanny of the Empire are really stupid." Gracie laughed coldly.
"No! What's going on with those people?! " Wilson's expression suddenly changed slightly. He pointed at the black armored giants that were more than two meters tall that kept appearing on the citadel walls.
They were strong and powerful, wearing heavy black armor. Arrows could not penetrate their armor at all. In close combat, any soldiers that got close to them were easily thrown away.
"Take aim!" One of the siege crossbows aimed at a giant and released a giant arrow.
Chi!
The giant was knocked back with a bang and fell heavily off the citadel wall. But he quickly covered the dent in his armor and climbed back up to join the battle.
