Blue Sword

"Your Majesty!" Under the vigilant gaze of the two sword warriors, Eleanor's eyes locked on Emperor Otto through the gap in the visor, "I beg you to allow me to speak!"

"I am listening." The emperor said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I am a knight of the empire. You once claimed to make this empire great again, so you brought us to this battlefield!" Eleanor shouted passionately, "Because of this, I shed blood for this empire. Fight hard, my relatives and friends also died in the battle not long ago!"

The surrounding soldiers and knights did not speak, and everyone's eyes were focused on her. However, Eleanor showed no fear and just continued to shout:

"But this war goes on endlessly, and there is no hope of victory in the short term! Can you please tell me when will this cruel war that takes away the lives of my relatives and friends end?"

"First of all." Emperor Otto said solemnly, "I express my deep condolences for the sacrifices of your relatives and friends. Their contributions to the empire will not be forgotten."

"Secondly, this war is indeed extremely difficult and cruel. There are many brave Imperial children who have shed their blood on this land. But as long as we are united and united, we will surely win the final victory..."

"Your Majesty!" Eleanor interrupted him sadly and angrily, "I know you are waiting for the next wave of demons to come. But you have also seen that the wave of demons has not arrived, and the Holy See's offensive is getting more fierce day by day!"

"If this continues, if the demon tide doesn't come for another month, we will be dead and wounded before then! How can we make the empire great again?

"Knight! You will inevitably die on the battlefield!" The emperor's tone became stern, "But this does not justify your fear of war! There are so many demigods in the empire, and more demigods are crossing the Alps, heading towards The battlefield in Italy is coming!"

"What evidence do you have to conclude that the imperial army will be completely wiped out in casualties in the next month?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding knights and soldiers immediately became excited. More demigods on the way? Doesn't that mean there is hope for victory in this war?

"Your Majesty!" Eleanor was completely unmoved and continued sadly, "I have followed you to this battlefield for several months. From Verona to here, I have personally participated in the difficult battles along the way. . The Holy See’s lethal firepower is constantly escalating, and now it is no longer something that normal soldiers can resist!"

"It is true that the demigods are the backbone of the battlefield, but they will only protect His Majesty and the great nobles. When will they have the power to protect ordinary knights and soldiers?"

As soon as these words came out, the excited discussions around him suddenly calmed down, and a strange atmosphere spread among the soldiers and knights.

"Absurd!" the emperor roared angrily, "There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority! Since you know that the power of demigods is limited, how can you still dare to ask demigods to protect you? As an imperial soldier, if you don't think about how to serve the empire and the lord, Instead, you are timid and afraid of death, and you blindly point your grievances at demigods and nobles. Which principality are you a knight from?!"

"So, Your Majesty..." Eleanor said sadly, "The lives of you and the nobles are more noble than ordinary people, right? In order to achieve your strategic goal of 'making the empire great again', these ordinary soldiers and knights , it is natural that you should sacrifice your life to march forward for the king, paving your way to honor with blood and bones, right?!"

Her voice trembled and became high-pitched:

"Even if the hope of victory in this war is already pitifully small!"

"Even if we continue to fight, the vast majority of ordinary soldiers and knights will have no hope of survival in the future!!"

"Even so, you still have to bet the entire empire on this huge gamble! Are you using the lives of thousands of imperial soldiers to bet on the one in ten thousand chance of realizing your ambition?!!"

"Shut up!!!" The emperor's expression was completely out of control, and his face was horribly distorted in rage, "Kill her! Blade Warrior! Execute this daring and despicable traitor!!!"

"So that's it." Seeing that the emperor had completely lost interest in defending, Eleanor lowered her head behind the visor and smiled bitterly in frustration.

Although she had expected this for a long time, now she finally confirmed the fact, and the last bit of luck in her heart was shattered.

This emperor did not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers and knights at all. In other words, in the face of victory in the war, the lives of ordinary soldiers are just numbers on the gambling table to him.

...is a tyrant.

Facing the bright sword light coming from the sword warrior's hand, Eleanor suddenly raised her head:

"...Otto!" she screamed miserably.

Countless blood-stained faces, those of her second brother Henry, those of Knight Commander John, those of the knights who had been wronged and bruised in prison, as well as the faces of all the tragically sacrificed and hanged soldiers, opened and closed in a twisted way before her eyes. With all the strength he had ever had in his life, he let out the same resentful and crazy roar as hers:

"fuck your mother!"

In an instant, a fierce white light tore open the battlefield.

The bodies of the two blade warriors were broken at the waist. The power armor, skeleton, flesh and spine were torn apart by the sword light at that moment, revealing extremely smooth wounds.

Eleanor maintained the posture of wielding the sword, and the extremely rich pure white light completely enveloped her long sword. It was as solid as substance and shining like a morning star. It was almost impossible to look directly at it with the naked eye, otherwise it would lead to blindness. Terrible and dangerous.

More pure white light spread from her whole body, flowing rapidly along the surface of her armor, and finally wrapped her into a human figure made of light, like a seraph, the son of the morning star, holding a holy sword and rising from the sky. And descending, it is like the thunder of God descending on the world.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" More blade warriors rushed forward, while the remaining people crowded around to cover the emperor, retreating back in fear and panic.

Now, even the most ignorant soldier can see that the "Son of the Morning Star" and "Angel of Light" in front of him are not ordinary people or low-level extraordinary beings at all.

"I know it! I know it! There must be a high-level transcendent in the army trying to assassinate me!" Emperor Otto, who was pushed and pulled away frantically, was still shouting angrily, "I regard the Saxon family and the Holy Solomon Empire as supreme In the name of the monarch! Declare this person to be the permanent enemy of the empire! Any citizen of the empire who sees him will be killed without mercy!"

A large number of blade knights in power armor rushed forward. Swords, axes and spears, as well as bullets fired from the surrounding imperial knights, attacked Eleanor like a dense tide.

However, in front of the solid white light around her, everything was like an egg hitting a stone, either being violently bounced away, or being unable to withstand the force of the recoil and shattering.

"Get away!"

Eleanor roared with all her strength and swung the spear in her hand in a huge semicircle. The white light condensed on the gun body was so powerful that it instantly cut off the four close-range Blade Warriors, including their power armors, cleanly and without any hindrance.

Then she pulled the gun in front of her, tucked it under her arm, and quickly took a stance.

Compound spear skills. Two stages of charging!
