As the sun sets, night falls, and the lights and stars shine accordingly.
Although the demon army has long appeared on the border of the empire, the residents of the border live in fear day and night.
But in the Imperial City, currently the safest city on the continent, it is still thriving.
As the saying goes, when the army comes, it will block the water and the earth will cover it.
When the demon army comes, the army will naturally go to destroy it.
For the dignitaries of the imperial city, this is just another opportunity to gain military exploits and add a few strokes to their family's honor.
Therefore, when darkness enveloped the earth, the nobles still enjoyed themselves and were intoxicated with wealth and wealth.
Not only that, even the various legions stationed around the imperial city have lost their good style in the past, and their discipline is getting worse day by day.
When they first received the order to mobilize defenses, almost every soldier did not secretly complain in his heart.
Let them leave their homeland and go to the imperial city to defend themselves against the demonic army that may come.
As long as their brains can still function normally, they will immediately have the idea that His Majesty the Emperor Subolai is too cowardly.
The demon army is not the army of other empires.
It has strategic goals and combat plans.
When the demons pass by, it is always a scorched earth.
Instead of stationing in the imperial city, the sergeants feel that it is better to go to the border and fight the demons to the death.
Even if he died in battle, at least he would die well and as a warrior.
However, after arriving in the imperial city, the soldiers' resistance faded day by day, and they even developed an unprecedented fondness for Subolai.
There is no other reason than that His Majesty the Emperor treats these foreign troops very well.
Not only are they entertained with good wine and meat every day, but they are also given a year's military pay in advance, and they are not prohibited from entering the city to have fun.
For these sergeants who came from remote areas, the imperial city was nothing short of a paradise, and so were these days.
Because of this, the number of soldiers and gangsters is increasing day by day, and the people in charge of city defense like Ordiga are also having more and more headaches day by day.
Even if they catch these troublemaking soldiers, they can't do anything to them.
After all, they have no power to punish these foreign soldiers.
But those with real power always turn a blind eye and allow them to do whatever they want.
But on the outskirts of the imperial city, in a slightly remote and mysterious military camp, it was different from other places, filled with a lingering sadness.
This is the camp of the Royal Knights.
The proud griffin in the past has now broken its wings and cannot afford to fall.
"Sir, we are back."
On one side of the camp, in a simple but very practical barracks, several knights in armor knelt on one knee in front of an old man.
These knights all looked haggard, their eyes were bloodshot, and they seemed to have not rested for several days.
Their cheeks were covered with stubble, and their hair was covered with dust.
"Really?
I'm back."
The old man was none other than the famous Griffin Grand Duke Bulveda.
Different from the honor and splendor of the past, Bulvida has become an old lion now.
He has completely lost the power of being able to dominate the world and have everything under control.
What is left is just a shell.
Oger's death was unknown, so the other royal knights naturally launched a large-scale search.
Even if Oger was really dead, clear evidence must be found.
It's a pity that after several days, the knights and griffons were exhausted, but they still didn't get the slightest clue they expected.
"Everyone, get up."
Bulveda said in a low tone.
Although the knights had not yet reported, he seemed to already know the result and did not have any expectations.
"Sir, we" the knight was about to say, but was stopped by Bulvida.
"I don't blame you.

I really don't blame you.
It's all my fault.
It's my fault."
Bulveda repeated these words over and over again, with an uncontrollable sadness and loneliness in her tone, as if she had lost everything overnight.
All in all.
The relationship between Bulveda and Og has always been somewhat mysterious.
Not to mention outsiders, even members of the Royal Knights rarely see the father and son together, as if they have nothing in common.
Even if the two had to appear at the same time on some grand occasions, Bulvida would always be by Suborai's side, while Og led the other members of the Royal Knights.
But after the bad news came, Bulveda behaved as if his faith had collapsed.
The sadness was definitely not fake, and even exceeded the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.
This made those who usually have a relationship with Bulvida The good nobles didn't know how to comfort him.
Afterwards, Bulveda plunged into the barracks of the Royal Knights and never came out again, and refused anyone to visit.
"Sir, what are we going to do now?"
One of the knights couldn't help but ask.
If Og is away, Bulvida will be the master of the Royal Knights.
The current situation is relatively chaotic, and someone must command them.
"What to do, what to do?"
Bulvida seemed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease and could only repeat what others said.
However, after repeating it several times, Bulveda seemed to wake up from a dream and suddenly asked: "Where is Nanna?
I want to see her."
Several knights looked at each other, not daring to speak for a while.
Finally, the knight who spoke first said: "Your Majesty, Captain Nanna has not returned."
"Why didn't she come back?"
Bulveda was surprised, "Did she also" "No, don't worry, Your Majesty the Duke."
The knight knew that Bulvida might have misunderstood, and said quickly: "Captain Nanna is fine.
According to several people who acted with her, although they were attacked by unknown enemies, But Captain Nanna’s mentor Mr.
Igu finally showed up to save them, and then Captain Nanna left with Mr.
Igu and did not return to the team.”
The reason why the knight was reluctant to tell the truth at first was because at this moment, the Royal Knights were facing an unprecedented crisis, and Nanna, who had been vigorously trained, did not return to the team, but left.
It was really a bit of a loss. meaning.
However, because they were already very familiar with and understood each other, the knights did not think that Nanna was evading, so they wanted to cover it up for her.
Of course, that's not all that is wanted to hide.
"That's good, that's good."
Bulveda felt relieved, and finally there was still a little hope left.
However, after seeing the embarrassed expression on the knight's face, Bulveda immediately realized that he did not Totally honest.
"Lucian," Bulveda regained a little of his former demeanor and called the knight by his first name, "Lucian, I watched you grow up.
You are not a liar.
What are you hiding?"
"Uh."
The knight was speechless.
He struggled in his heart for a long time.
In the end, he still failed to defeat his honest character.
He said in embarrassment: "Your Excellency, the Duke actually rescued Captain Nanna and those knights.
Except for Mr.
Yigu, , there is another person, that, that” "I understand, you don't have to say it."

Bulveda decisively stopped Knight Lucien.
The other person he was talking about was undoubtedly Wu Tong, but Wu Tong had always been the primary target of the Royal Knights' pursuit, and his identity was not known to anyone except a few people.
Judging from the words of the rescued knights, Nanna obviously knew Wu Tong and had an unusual relationship, which made the other knights a little unacceptable.
For the knights who strictly abide by the rules of discipline, the consequences of this are much more serious than leaving the team without authorization.
It can basically be judged as collaboration with the enemy, which is unacceptable behavior in any case, so the knight Lucien has never told the truth.
But Lucien didn't expect that Bulvida and Wu Tong already knew each other and had only met them not long ago.
Lucian waited quietly.
He didn't know why Bulvida could guess who was with Nanna at once, and he didn't know how Bulvida would deal with it.
If Nanna was considered an enemy because of this, Lucian really didn't know how to explain it to the royal knights outside.
But Lucian then realized that he was thinking too much.
Bulveda didn't say anything, but quietly raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
Even the deep sadness became lighter, leaving Lucian a little confused.
"That's all, that's all.
As of now, there's nothing to hide."
Bulveda sighed heavily, as if she was ready to tell some shocking secret, but in the end she didn't reveal anything.
Instead, she stood up and took the lead to tell the secret.
Go outside.
"Lucian, you guys come with me.
Everyone has his own destiny.
It's time for me to choose my own path and do something."
The moment he opened the door curtain, facing the cool breeze of the night, the already very old Bulvi Da Que seemed to have left behind all his baggage and became dozens of years younger.
"My Lord Duke" Bulveda regained his composure, and Lucian and others suddenly found the confidence of the Royal Knights.
The haggardness on their faces immediately disappeared, and the strength returned to their bodies.
However, what happened was counterproductive.
Just when Lucian was about to stand up and follow Bulvida, the ground shook violently, and all the griffins in the military camp who had been resting were suddenly awakened.
These well-trained griffins, who never knew how to retreat and only became more courageous as they fought, seemed to have seen something that made them dare not resist.
Regardless of the comfort of the knights, they broke free one after another and flew away screaming.
Up in the night sky.
Boom, there was another deafening loud noise.
Without warning, the originally flat land in the Royal Knights' camp began to collapse rapidly, forming an unfathomable huge black hole after a few breaths.
A powerful attraction swept over them, and even the griffons flying in the air were unable to control their bodies and were pulled closer to the black hole little by little.
"Is it too late?"
Bulveda raised his head in horror, only to see dozens of huge meteorites burning with green flames falling from the sky, pointing directly at the imperial city.
The catastrophe has begun:
