Chapter 245 Luonan Imperial City(1/2)
The imperial city of Luonan Empire, the imperial capital of the world's most powerful empire in Madilan, has lost the bustling scene of the past. There is no one in the civilian area. The garbage on the stone-paved streets is not cleaned. The garbage scattered in the wind. The only living thing is the stray dog looking for food.
In the closed houses, the civilians did not have the time to care about these wild dogs wandering outside and sniffing around. They stayed in their houses, waiting for the judgment of fate.
On the wide Imperial City Avenue, a group of soldiers in armor were trotting towards the city wall.
In the team, Sergeire followed the team forward while observing the shops on both sides of the road. These shops in the prime area of the Imperial Capital Avenue were almost all high-ranking officials and nobles of the Luonan Empire. Anything in the shop could be eaten by a civilian for several years.
However, these shops that can bring endless wealth to the owner have already closed at this time, and the precious items in the house have also been transferred.
Seyle couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile on his face. These big men who are always arrogant run faster than anyone else after the crisis comes.
Soldier - Thuryer despised these escaping nobles. Then, he turned his eyes to the charming middle-aged man at the front of the team, with deep reverence in his eyes.
Only a nobleman who is brave enough to take responsibility like Master Saroyang is the real nobleman.
In the words of Seyer, Commander Saroyang is the commander of the imperial guards of the imperial city, and a high aristocrat with the title of earl. He is also a famous military strategist in the world of Madilan. Although he has many glories, Saroyang is not only not arrogant, but is very friendly to the people.
It is precisely because of Saroyang, the charming commander, that Seyr and other soldiers were willing to follow him to fight this battle without any chance of winning.
Seyer remembered that a few days ago, when the orcs had not yet reached the imperial city, Commander Saroyang called out the brothers of the Imperial Guard together.
First, he asked his only son and the soldiers with family to leave the list, took out all his family wealth and distributed it to the soldiers, and ordered them to leave the imperial city.
Then, Commander Saroyang said only one sentence to the remaining soldiers.
"If you are willing to die with me, stay, and others can leave."
The audience was silent, and no one left. Saroyang took out all the food from the Imperial Guard warehouse and led the soldiers to empty the wine cellars of the major taverns in the empty imperial capital. After a few days of fun, the orcs came.
So a scene appeared in front of me.
The commander of the Imperial Guard, Saroyang, ran quickly through the wall of the God Capital. He was wearing thick dark armor and carrying a wide-blade giant sword behind him. The giant sword was almost as tall as himself. The wind raised his flax-colored hair, revealing the terrifying scar on his tough face. This scar was like a big centipede, embedded in Saroyang's face.
This scar is definitely disfigured when placed on the face of an ordinary person, but on the face of this strong and charming commander, it has a different charm, which makes people feel awe of this man who has experienced life and death for the empire.
"Hurry! Go up the city wall! The brave warriors of the Empire, return to your posts, shoot dragon cannon gunners! Get the crossbow arrows ready!"
While commanding the soldiers to prepare for the war, Saroyang observed the orc army approaching outside the city. When he saw five giant dragons flying in the distant sky, his eyes showed crazy hatred, and he remembered his three sons.
Saroyan's full name is Saroyan Davidson. The Davidson family is a world-famous military aristocrat in Madilan. Joining the army to serve the empire is their family tradition.
As ever, the three adult heirs of this generation of Davidson family served in the military. Based on the principle of risk avoidance, Saroyan allowed his three children to serve in different regions.
But he never expected that the Emperor of the Empire ordered most of the elite troops of the Empire to go to the Blade Fortress, and there happened to be three of his heirs.
The result is naturally needless to say. The Davidson family is the most powerful. When they received this news, Saroyang felt that the sky had fallen.
Saroyang stood on the tall city wall, looking at the five flying dragons above the distant sky, with ambition to die. Even if I die, I would drag an evil dragon to bury him.
The densely packed dragon-shooting cannons and giant killers on the walls of the imperial capital gave him enough confidence.
Saroyang, who was determined to die, looked back at the end of the imperial city avenue, the residence of His Majesty the Emperor of the Luonan Empire.
Thinking of this country where he devoted all his money, Saroyang felt sad. He understood that the Luonan Empire was about to perish.
This is obvious, from the common people to the imperial emperors, they all think so.
Saroyang was very angry when he thought of the Emperor of the Empire, the emperor he was loyal to. Since the provincial capital where he concentrated its troops to defend was captured by orcs, the Emperor of the Empire had not issued a military order.
So much so that the people once thought that their emperor had fled.
It was not until the Emperor of the Empire that issued an announcement that the targets were all the civilians in the imperial city, and the content of the announcement was only one sentence: According to the news of the occupied cities in the past, orcs would not kill innocent people indiscriminately and hide at home during war.
The civilians who were unable to escape were comforted a little and understood that the imperial emperor did not escape.
But as the commander of the imperial guards, the imperial emperor knew from beginning to end that the imperial emperor was still in the palace, but for him, it was no different from escaping, because the imperial emperor was already desperate to give up resistance.
A few days ago, the Emperor of the Empire dismissed his servants and asked the princes and grandsons to disguise themselves as civilians to escape from the imperial city. The Emperor of the Empire made fewer hardliners, and only Saroyang and others were still holding on.
Saroyang could understand the emperor's actions, but he could not accept it, and he felt resentment towards the emperor.
But His Majesty the Emperor himself did not escape, which gave Saroyang and others a little psychological comfort.
At least, their emperor was not a coward who feared death.
The closer and closer army of orcs made Saroyang lose the energy to think. He touched the scar on his face, and the scar was ached faintly. He couldn't help but think of the hateful orc.
This scar was a gift from a orc chief who left him before his death when Saroyan was serving in the Blade Fortress when he was young.
The national hatred and family hatred, coupled with personal grudges, are the reasons why Saroyang stayed to fight desperately with orcs and dragons.
Jump over the empty Imperial City Avenue, pass through the thick and tall city walls, and then skim through the flowery garden paths, in the palace hall of the Luonan Empire.
The Emperor of the Roland Empire wore a royal robe and sat upright on the golden throne. The throne was covered with colorful gems. The gems were centered on a huge golden gem, and were distributed in a peacock's open-faced screen, showing the royal luxury.
This golden throne was the first emperor of the Luonan Empire. It collected treasures from all over the world and ordered craftsmen to build it in half a year. Emperors of Luonan all dynasties were sitting on this throne and accepting worship from ministers and envoys from various countries.
For thousands of years, the throne has been as bright as new, but in just a few days, the person sitting on the throne seems to be in his old age in his decades.
The imperial emperor relied on the throne, and his original black hair had turned into silver silk like snow. The luxurious imperial robe could not cover up the aging and powerlessness of his body's owner.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
The Emperor of the Imperial Emperor's voice was heard into the ears of the three people below, and the three people standing quietly below raised their heads when they heard this.
One was a middle-aged man wearing a civil servant's uniform and a little silver thread mixed with his hair. Folds began to appear on the corners of his eyes, but it could be vaguely seen from his handsome face that the civil servant was also a handsome talent when he was young. He heard the emperor's question and answered.
"Your Majesty, when I stepped into the court, I swore before you to live and die with the Empire. Now it is time to fulfill my oath."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of the Empire showed a rare smile on his face, and then his face showed bitterness.
"I, the Great Luonan Empire, have nearly 100 people in the court, you are the only one who remembers this oath. Langmahan, why are you staying?"
A general of the imperial world wearing thick armor and two heads taller than ordinary people, replied aloud.
"More than ten years ago, Your Majesty, you left my life in the battle for the throne and treated my family and soldiers well. My Langmahan's life is yours."
This evil imperial executioner, whose voice was like thunder, made the emperor's ears itchy, but at this time, he had no intention of blaming him.
"It's rare that you still remember, it's good, it's good."
The imperial emperor did not ask questions, and the remaining old man in the waiter's robe spoke.
"Your Majesty, my legs are so old that I can't walk anymore, so I choose to die with you, hahaha."
The Emperor of the Empire couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but as he smiled, he burst into tears. Of course, he knew the real reason for the old man to stay. In fact, he was just asking the reason for the two people to stay.
This old man was the teacher of the Emperor of the Empire since he was a child, and was also the guard brought by the emperor's mother from her mother's house. The royal family had no relatives. Since the Emperor of the Empire's mother passed away, the old man has been by his side.
Compared to his father who had almost never met several times, this old man was more like his father. He taught him knowledge of swordsmanship and culture since he was a child. He became a vanguard in the battle for the throne, and later became a minister in the court to assist the emperor in managing the world. This old man accompanied him throughout his life and will now accompany him to die.
"Okay! OK! OK!"
The Emperor of the Empire called out three times in a row.
"I have three of you who are willing to accompany me before I die. My life is not too failure."
A few days ago, the emperor of the Empire sent off his army and servants. At this time, there were only these four people left in the huge palace.
At this time, the civil servant also spoke curiously.
"Your Majesty, you know you can't resist those monsters, why didn't you leave with the prince and grandson?"
"leave?"
Hearing the civil servant's question, the imperial emperor was not angry. He sighed and asked back.
"Where can I go?"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this time, the sound of war was shaking into the palace, and the imperial emperor was not scared at all, but was just a little surprised.
"Oh? Didn't I order the army to be dismissed and the city gates are opened? Why are these orcs still attacking the city walls?"
The imperial emperor issued an announcement to appease the people, dismissed his servants and army, and then lost contact with the outside world, so he knew nothing about the behavior of Saroyang and others.
The imperial executioner, Langmahan, replied.
"Your Majesty, Commander Saroyang and the other adults are willing to live and perish with the Empire. They are fighting against the orcs on the city wall."
The Emperor of the Empire knew about Saroyang's situation, and his face was gloomy and clear. Not long after, he sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, let them go."
The four of them were out of the gate and the flood was flooding, and they started talking about the whole world.
...
"Shoot the arrow!"
On the city wall, Saroyang looked at the shield above his head, braved the rain of arrows, and started charging from a distance, feeling extremely annoyed.
Because his enemies are not orcs, but humans.
"These damn betrayers!"
Not only Saroyang, but the soldiers were also very angry. After all, Erwuzi is much hateful than the enemy.
Arrows kept shooting out, but they were all hit on the shield, and the effect was minimal.
Boom!
At this time, another group of stone-propelled rockets drew from a distant group of stone-propelled cars and struck the city wall through the parabola. The hard wall of the Luonan Empire instantly cracked, and shallow craters appeared on the city wall.
