Chapter 472 Battle of the Royal City


    Soon, after gathering soldiers centered on the First, Fourth and Fifth Legions, the joint army of the Inquisition and the King''s Rescue Army immediately set off and headed towards the royal city.


    This time, Sheila did not stay in the personal guards like before. After all, she is the emperor now. Although there are no rumors about this matter so far, only some senior officials know about it, as Hermann''s emperor, of course it is impossible to put her in danger again.


    So now Sheila has become Duanmu Huai''s follower - after all, there is no place safer here than this.


    Soon, with the launch of the Emperor-level Titan, the entire army began to march towards the royal city.


    And the review committee responded indeed.


    “They sent a large number of soldiers.”


    Duanmuhuai glanced at the images sent back through the Valkyrie gunboat. While the army set off, he saw countless soldiers wearing golden armor appearing from the royal city, blocking the streets and city gates. At the same time, a square glorious barrier appeared on the royal city, covering the entire inner city.


    "This is the royal defensive barrier."


    Although she was a puppet emperor, as an emperor, Sheila knew everything she should know, so she quickly explained to Duanmuhuai.


    "I don''t know the specific principle very well. I only know that this is the barrier that was originally here for a long time ago to protect the core area. No one can break through this barrier. Once they enter the barrier, their flesh and blood will be completely melted, leaving only bones and armor... Only members of the royal family can open it. As of now, the one who opens it should be my... Queen."


    Speaking of this, Sheila''s expression was a little gloomy. After all, no matter what, she was her own mother. But in fact, since childhood, the other party did not regard herself as her daughter. Even when she was imprisoned by Steeser, her mother chose that man instead of her...


    "So what you mean is that even if you defeat them, you can''t enter the core area?"


    Hearing Sheila''s introduction, Duanmuhuai frowned.


    "Is there any other way? For example, secret passages or something?"


    “Of course there is.”


    “Then it’s OK.”


    Duanmuhuai made a decisive decision.


    "We first surround the entire royal city, then walk into the palace through the secret passage, then you go to close that barrier, and then we catch Prime Minister Steeser and members of the Council, and then finish the work smoothly. Is there any problem?"


    "………No."


    "Huh? You don''t seem to be very excited?"


    Looking at Sheila''s somewhat depressed expression, Duanmu Huai looked at her curiously, and the latter nodded.


    "Yes, I actually regret it... If I had known that this would happen, then I should have stood up earlier and told everyone all this..."


    In fact, the reason why Sheila didn''t say it was very simple. After all, at the beginning, she couldn''t tell what kind of character this King''s Army was. Although she was a canary locked in a cage, it didn''t mean she was stupid. If the royal army or the court has bad intentions, then he will leave the tiger''s den and enter the wolf''s den.


    But along the way, she also saw how the Inquisition and the King of Recruitment helped the people of Hermann, and her inner worries gradually decreased - of course, even so, she was unable to tell her secrets casually.


    Until now.


    "Repentance is meaningless, especially regretting what has happened is even more meaningless."


    Duanmu Huai glanced at Sheila and withdrew his gaze.


    "We don''t know what Stese is doing, nor what he has in control. We made a decision based on the intelligence we have and brought the current results, which is enough. As for whether this result can satisfy everyone, that''s another matter."


    In fact, Duanmuhuai can understand Sheila''s thoughts very well. In fact, many people who are eager to foresee the future are like this, but in Duanmuhuai''s view, regretting the reality of being settled is meaningless. It was as if they had known that Stese would have killed the entire city''s residents before, they would have attacked the royal city directly instead of liberating other areas first.


    But the problem is that they don’t know!


    So that''s it.


    What else can I do?


    Of course it is not regret. The truth is done, and regret is useless. All we have to do is think about new countermeasures based on the current form.


    So, can we avoid it with the ability to foresee the future?


    Maybe.


    But maybe it will produce a completely different future, and maybe it will be worse.


    If they foresee the future and go to the royal city with thunder, they might indeed be able to prevent the future of the royal city from being slaughtered. But maybe in the end, Steeser will run away and then trigger a catastrophe that almost puts the entire Hermann Kingdom and even the world into crisis.


    By that time, maybe I will start to regret it again if I didn’t change the future.


    After all, people who die in a city are completely different from people who die in a continent.


    So, it doesn’t make sense to regret. Even if you start reading the file again, it doesn’t mean you can get the ending you want.


    Therefore, it is actually a stupid thing to foresee the future. In Duanmuhuai''s view, any kind of foreseeing the future is like forcing you to force a choice in a free sand table game.


    If you don’t have this choice, you may do what you want as you wish.


    But once you are given a direction, then your next choice is to either do what you want, or stop this future, or ignore it... These three options are there.


    "Don''t always think about taking shortcuts. What human beings need to do is do what human beings should do, do their best to know the destiny, know the destiny without slacking off. Regret about irreparable situations is a stupid and meaningless behavior. What we need to do now is to consider how to deal with it!"


    “…………”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Sheila was startled, but she quickly cheered up and nodded vigorously. "I understand, thank you for your reminder."


    "Okay, we have arrived at our destination."


    Duanmuhuai said as he looked forward - there, the gate of the royal city was clearly visible.


    “Attack!”


    With Duanmu Huai''s order, the battle... began like this.


    The Titan raised his arm, and the next moment, a blue plasma beam suddenly burst out and hit the city gate directly. With the earth-shaking explosion, the entire gate and the nearby city wall were all destroyed. Then we saw that under the leadership of the Poison Sword Heavy Tank, the Rieman Russ tank army and the Fourth Legion rushed in.


    Ground attack adopts a joint combat method of field and tanks, that is, a tank is responsible for covering soldiers to conduct raid attacks. Considering that this is a street fighting in the city, this method is more suitable. Of course, this kind of joint combat between Infrastructure and Tank is not strictly considered completely modern. After all, what the soldiers are holding is not guns, but cold weapons. Only the mage located behind them, and it looks a bit like a modern heavy firepower camp.


    But there is nothing wrong with Duanmuhuai. Who said that in close combat, can''t cooperate with tanks? Melee combat is the bravest, glorious and proudest way of fighting. Instead of just hiding behind the robot with a gun like the titan tribe, **** cowards, who only dares to hide behind the robot and fire a cold gun, what''s that ability?


    A bunch of waste! coward! A fish face without a nose! A strange and vulgar faceless **** with no reason to exist!


    Duanmu Huai swore that if he was allowed to meet the **** **** who shouted the best and good deeds in this world, he would definitely lead the Inquisition to destroy all the galaxies that were defiled by these bastards, leaving no one left.


    But now, let’s look at the battle in front of you first.


    Faced with the powerful firepower of the Inquisition, the soldiers wearing golden armor were not afraid at all. On the contrary, they rushed towards the army in front of them without hesitation!


    Immediately afterwards...


    “Boom boom boom!!”


    A series of explosions sounded, and all of the soldiers were submerged in the explosion of flames. But this did not stop the latecomers. They continued to charge forward, passing through the smoke and the corpse of their companions, and rushed forward.


    Then………


    “Boom boom boom!!”


    There were another series of explosions, but this time, the explosion did not come from the armored forces.


    “We were attacked!”


    Soon, Maria''s somewhat anxious voice appeared in Duanmu Huai''s ears.


    "What''s going on?"


    “Those soldiers seem to have some special equipment and they will explode!”


    Good guy, not only are soldiers who are not afraid of death, but they even self-destructive soldiers?


    It''s really troublesome...


    Duanmuhuai frowned and immediately issued an order.


    "Contact An and Gureya and let them take the magic troops to find ways to cover the firepower as much as possible, and also catch a few live ones back!"


    "yes!"


    An was not satisfied with his actions, but...


    "We can''t catch the living."


    Standing in front of Duanmuhuai, An looked helpless.


    “Because they are all dead!”


    As An said, Gureya next to him took out a frozen soldier. Through the ice surface, everyone could clearly see that there was a rotten, shrinking, looking like a mummy or mummy-as An said, this was not a living person at all.


    "Have you figured out how they work?"


    “There is a part.”


    Hannah frowned and looked at the soldiers in front of her with a little disgust.


    "According to our research, the other party uses a technology that burys specially made metal into the corpse and then uses magic to perform limited control... Of course, this is indeed a kind of magic technology..."


    “What’s the solution?”


    "It''s very difficult. They only accept limited instructions, and their brains only have attack instincts. They don''t think about themselves. If they want to destroy them, they can only defeat the core..."


    As he said, Hannah took out a metal ball.


    "It''s this thing, but it''s buried in the bodies of these soldiers and is basically difficult to destroy."


    "In other words, someone used this thing to control these dead people? So can we just find this thing and we can lift the control?"


    "Theory? Since control can be accepted, it should be able to be lifted."


    "Very good, I get it."


    Hearing Hannah''s answer, Duanmuhuai nodded, and then he looked at Sheila standing aside.


    "Okay, Your Majesty, please lead the way."
