Becoming a creator in prehistory

Chapter 104 Twilight of the Empire

After leaving the bottomless abyss, Neville embarked on the return journey, and his heart was a little tangled along the way.

Although he has already made the decision to carry out the ascension plan with all the citizens, he cannot predict what kind of result this choice will lead to.

"Can Spencer understand what I'm doing?"

Thinking of the dispute between the two before, Neville couldn't help but feel a little headache.

And that's why he didn't make a decision right away, but pushed back to prepare.

"Forget it, the banshee in the forest probably won't go back so soon. Now that Spencer's physical condition has improved, it's not too late to look at the situation."

With this in mind, Neville returned to the imperial hive.

As soon as he appeared here, he saw the steward of the palace running over anxiously.

"His Royal Highness Axe, it's not good, the sage's injury has suddenly deteriorated."

Hearing the sudden bad news, Neville was in a bad mood. He grabbed the steward and asked anxiously:
"How could this be? Wasn't his injury improving?"

The steward who was caught looked at Neville in shock, fearing that the other party would kill him, so he quickly replied in a trembling voice:
"I don't even know, my lord, the sage's condition suddenly deteriorated after you left, without any symptoms at all.

Go and have a look, otherwise..."

Although the steward's words failed to explain the reason, they let Neville know how critical Spencer's situation was.

He didn't say anything more, he just let go of the steward and ran towards the palace.

The steward of the palace who survived the catastrophe didn't have time to wipe the cold sweat off his brow, so he hurried back behind Neville.

However, as an ordinary ant clan, he couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed at all.

When the palace steward ran back to the sage's bedroom out of breath, Neville had already stood beside Spencer's bed for a long time.

Looking at his best friend who had completely fallen into a coma, his eyes became firm, as if he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Pass my order, from this moment on, let all the people of the empire stay at home and pray for the sage, and do not leave the ant nest without my permission."

Hearing this, the steward of the palace hurriedly said:
"Follow your will. It's just that it's a little troublesome to execute this order. You also know that there are always people who are unwilling to obey."

"You don't need to worry about it. It just so happens that the Star Warrior Legion has retreated from the battlefield. I will let them take over this matter as supervisors."

Looking at Neville with a stern face, the steward of the palace felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to say more, and quickly conveyed King Axe's will.

…………

After passing layer by layer, the order of King Ax was handed over to Sobek.

He is the Legion Commander of the first regiment of the Imperial Star Fighters Legion, and he is also a loyal Axe.

As a veteran of the first period, Sobek's ability to survive from the front line and achieve the position of army commander is itself a symbol of strength.

Although the empire had the upper hand in this war against the star gods, the damage suffered by the empire was not low.

The star gods are powerful, and their fall is almost all bought by star fighters with their lives.

It is true that there are not many veterans of the first battle like Sobek who can survive to the present.

Of course, it is precisely because he has followed Axe for a long time that he won the trust of the other party.

Sobek also responded to this trust with practical actions. Before the other legions started to act, he had already brought his star fighters into the ant nest in charge and began to supervise the local people.

In the face of the star warrior who turned into a military police and asked the people to stay at home, the local residents were very cooperative.

After all, the sage is seriously ill, and it is only natural to pray for the founding father.

Ax King and Xianzhu have a deep brotherhood, and the strict execution is understandable.

However, as time went by, the people could not help but fall into panic.

No one knew that the water network formed by the golden God's Grace Lake was pulsating under their feet.

However, the physical condition is not deceiving. During the time when feet were grounded to pray for blessings, many people felt depressed, and some people began to die at home one after another.

This weird phenomenon made the people very nervous. Some people wanted to end the confinement, and some wanted to restrain their companions' corpses.

However, these ideas were shattered by the star fighters guarding this place.

Sobek looked at the people who wanted to lift the ban, and replied bluntly:
"I don't care what your reasons are, no one is allowed to go out until King Ax lifts the order.

Otherwise, I will execute the violators according to the regulations. "

Facing Sobek, who was completely ruthless, the local people were defeated and could only stay at home obediently.

But as the death toll continues to mount, eventually someone can't resist breaking the rules.

Without exception, these people were all captured by Sobek and his star fighters.

"We are not wrong, you can't do this to us!"

"That's right, the corpses of our companions are lying in the ant room and no one restrains them. They have already begun to rot. We are just doing what we should do."

"We want to see King Axe! My lord gave him the right, not for him to act recklessly."

Looking at the excited crowd, Sobek was a little shaken, but he still shouted coldly:
"The orders issued by King Ax cannot be trampled on, and the people who come here will carry out them in accordance with the regulations."

As he said that, the star fighter beside him walked up to these people.

Those who violated the rules were immediately held down, and a star fighter took out a small bottle filled with golden liquid, and forcibly poured the liquid into the mouths of these people.

Subsequently, these people were all executed.

Seeing the lifeless corpse lying on the ground, Sobek couldn't help but look away even though his heart was as hard as iron.

"Drag their carcasses back to the ant chamber, and you don't need to take care of the rest.

This is also a warning to others, and I hope they will stop doing things that embarrass everyone. "

I don't know if this operation has the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, but the people are completely chilled.

The people of the empire did not understand why these star fighters who were responsible for defending their homes and the country turned their butcher knives at their own people.

Star fighters are regarded as heroes by the people of the empire, and almost every ant clan that joined the empire cheered for them on the road of triumph.

It is everyone's dream to become a star fighter and fight for the empire.

However, in the face of those protectors who are armed with star weapons but covered with their own blood, everyone can't understand.

Not only ordinary people couldn't understand it, even the star fighters themselves were shaken.

Looking at the corpses of the people being dragged away, a star fighter asked with a depressed expression:
"Lord Sobek, among those who were executed just now were my former clansmen, and he and I joined the empire together.

He, like me, wanted to be a star fighter.

We once promised to meet again on the battlefield and fight for the Empire together.

I didn't expect that we would meet here..."

Hearing these heartbreaking words, Sobek didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Hey, I hope this will pass soon."
