Chapter 867 Hero's Dream

Inno XVII still wanted to continue to be the emperor.

Therefore, he would rather suffer in the palace than come forward to announce his intention to escape the summer heat.

His brothers and sisters, nephews and grandsons were all ambitious.

Although he became the emperor with the compromise of the elders and the support of a big figure of the Saint Lord clan, he had been on the throne for only a few years and his direct lineage was weak.

And the big figure who relied on him for support was said to have died in the catastrophe of the invasion of the alien continent.

If he really took the blame for abandoning the country and the people, after the invaders from the alien continent were excluded.

He believed that those ambitious people would definitely not admit that the situation was critical at the time and had to do so.

Under the righteousness, not only would he lose his throne, he might even be killed!

So, in the palace, Inno XVII chose to continue crying.

The generals and ministers had reached their limit of patience. After looking at each other, they set out to force the emperor to abdicate.

But a layer of golden light suddenly appeared in the palace, blocking them.

"It's the guardian golden light of one of the Morning Star relics!"

A general was slightly startled and whispered: "I didn't expect that His Majesty could really conquer this Morning Star relic. He has a good talent."

"What should we do? We can't break this golden light without a trick."

A minister changed color slightly and said: "But the palace must not make a big scene, this..."

"Forget it, let's sign a joint letter." The leading minister sighed lightly, glanced around, and found many officials from major forces hiding and watching quietly. He snorted coldly and said:

"All the people in the imperial capital who eat the emperor's food must sign a joint letter for me to support His Majesty to leave the imperial capital for summer vacation!"

"Yes, that's what we should do!"

The generals pondered for a while, nodded and agreed.

So the next moment, they saw the door of the bedroom opened, and Inno XVII, with red and swollen eyes, walked out quickly, and had a good time with the ministers. Soon after a long time of respectful interaction,

The residents of the largest city in the Saint Continent suddenly learned that their emperor and his ministers would leave the imperial capital for a few days to escape the summer heat in the royal dragon's birthplace.

Then, many clever residents noticed that an abnormal atmosphere enveloped the entire imperial capital.

Prices soared in a short period of time.

Almost all the shops controlled by the rich and powerful, such as grain shops and oil shops, closed their doors.

The eight gates out of the imperial capital were suddenly crowded with people. So many large carriages or giant beast-drawn carriages appeared on the streets, queuing up to leave the city.

The junior officers in charge of supervision found that all the airships were busy.

The floating fortress, known as the mobile fortress of the imperial capital, was also ordered to land in the palace so that the royal family could move their assets.

The officers looked at the piles of materials on the palace square with doubts, and some doubted whether the palace would be emptied if the materials were moved like this, causing the floating fortress to be overweight and unable to fly...

But soon they no longer had such worries.

Because as the setting sun shines over the extremely busy imperial capital.

More than a dozen floating fortresses flew to the imperial capital from different directions and landed around the palace to receive personnel and supplies.

"This... this is going to be a big deal!"

These low-level officers are shallow in knowledge.

But after living in the imperial capital for so long, they still know a lot of secrets that ordinary people don't know.

Those floating fortresses, looking at their shapes, you can guess where they were transferred from.

And those places are either fortresses to suppress alien races, or key strongholds with special resources.

As the empire's strongest war weapon, floating fortresses play the role of a stabilizing force in those places.

All of a sudden they were all mobilized.

This made these officers think about it.

Combined with the propaganda of resisting the invasion of enemies from alien continents in the past few days.

The officers couldn't help but swallow their saliva quietly.

"Could it be that the front line collapsed?" Finally, a low-level officer at a certain outpost whispered out his worries.

Suddenly, the outpost exploded.

Even the leader did not stop them for a while.

Because he was also wondering and worried.

He did not understand. He was of noble birth, so why didn't he hear any rumors?

He did not know that the speed of Xiao Yu's army's advance frightened the high-ranking officials of the empire, making them worry that it would not be long before those steel behemoths with incredible speed and unstoppable might would appear outside the imperial capital!

Therefore, their escape plan was mainly direct, simple and rough.

In order not to affect the evacuation plan, the high-ranking officials had reached a consensus.

After they all boarded the ship or the floating fortress, they informed the remaining personnel of some information through projection.

Let them arrange their retreat.

Marshal Shu Ma came on the blue dragon with the Dragon Envoy not long after the floating fortress arrived.

After arriving at the imperial capital, Marshal Shu Ma's mouth twitched, knowing what choice the high-ranking officials of the imperial capital made after receiving the detailed battle report.

But, is such a choice really useful?

Marshal Shu Ma shook his head.

I think this is not reliable.

Before he and the Dragon Envoy came back, they visited a wizard academy in the empire.

It was a supernatural force second only to the Holy Lord clan, and the dean was a highly respected person. It was said that he was once the teacher of a Morning Star wizard, and therefore had a transcendent status.

After visiting his secret realm, Marshal Shuma was shocked to learn that the dean did not think highly of the predictions made by many great wizards.

He believed that the giant's army did not have the aura of being rejected by the will of the continent.

Although he did not know how the giant did it.

But the dean was worried that the giant's terrible power might be able to survive in the Saint Continent for a long time!

Once such a guess came true.

The nobles' current performance was just to make their death more shameful.

"This is really..."

"The defeat is like a landslide, and the remnants are doomed!"

Marshal Shu Ma shook his head and looked at the Dragon Envoy next to him:

"I'm going to take over the position of temporary city lord."

"With my identity and qualifications, they are eager to let me stabilize the poor people in the imperial capital."

"Are you... ready to surrender?" The Dragon Envoy asked with a blink of an eye.

"I plan to evacuate the civilians, and then gather those who are willing to die, and rely on the remains of the Morning Star Wizard in the imperial capital to fight a good battle."

Marshal Shuma said:

"No matter whether we win or lose, at least after such a battle, the people of our Saint Continent can be looked at by the warriors of the foreign continent."

"In the future, those who are born in the Saint Continent and serve the giant may not be despised and lose the opportunity."

The Dragon Envoy looked at Marshal Shuma seriously and shrugged:

"I have known you for so long, and I always thought you were just an old-fashioned old man."

"I didn't expect you to be a hero."

"Well... I am not interested in being a hero."

The Dragon Envoy suddenly smiled and said: "But, my Lord Marshal."

"Your dream of being a hero may have a good ending."

"Well?" Marshal Shuma was slightly startled and was about to ask why.

Around the imperial capital, space fluctuations suddenly formed, and like a vortex, it caused obvious anomalies in the sky.

Immediately, under the sound of dragon roars,

The colorful dragon broke through the space barrier and descended to this world!

The leader was made of bronze, with an exaggerated body length of more than 300 meters. With its wings spread, it was as majestic as a mountain.

It was the bronze dragon that took Marshal Shuma and others away!
