"What?"

When Duke Kane heard the news from his subordinates, he could hardly believe his ears.

"All air forces destroyed?! The 4th Armored Division is advancing towards the Imperial Capital?!"

"Yes... Not only that, the troops originally guarding the imperial capital have stopped their actions. They demand that Your Excellency the Duke explain the changes in the imperial capital!"

"Humph, what's there to explain?!"

Duke Kane gritted his teeth and threw the communicator in his hand to the ground. Then he turned around and glared fiercely behind him - there, the crown prince was tied up and sitting on a chair, and on the wall behind his chair, a huge, sealed, bright red mecha could be seen.

The Scarlet Knight God.

It was once the patron saint of the entire empire. Two hundred years after the establishment of the Erebonia Empire, a disaster descended from underground. The dark dragon "Zero Strider" emerged from the abyss. It was a terrifying dragon emitting black miasma. The miasma it exhaled enveloped the entire imperial capital, turning Heimdall into a dead city and manipulating the dead to wander. The emperor at that time had to lead his people to flee Heimdall and establish the capital in the south.

A hundred years later, Emperor Hector I decided to defeat the Dark Dragon and reclaim the Imperial Capital. At that time, he encountered a mysterious being - a huge scarlet mecha, the Scarlet Knight. In the end, Hector I controlled the Scarlet Knight to enter the Magic City, defeated the Dark Dragon, and killed it.

Although the Dark Dragon was destroyed, the then Emperor Hector I also died because of the Dark Dragon's filthy blood. The Scarlet Knight was also cursed and turned into a "demon with thousands of weapons". In order to prevent it from bringing disaster to the world, the Knight contaminated by the curse was sealed deep in the imperial capital.

But it was not forgotten. Hundreds of years later, the Erebonian Empire was in civil strife, with the death of Emperor Perius V and the assassination of the crown prince. In order to seize the throne, several crown princes began to fight each other, and the son of the royal concubine at the time, the fourth prince Eutels, raised an army to control Heimdall, and several other princes also raised armies in various places and proclaimed themselves emperors.

At the beginning, the parties were evenly matched. But soon, the fourth prince who occupied the imperial capital resurrected the Scarlet Knight God sealed deep in the imperial capital, gained unparalleled power, and began to sweep away the forces of other princes.

Of course, the final result was that the commoner-born prince Drakeels, together with the Saint of the Spear, rode the Gray Knight to defeat the Fourth Prince and his army, and sealed the Scarlet Knight again.

Duke Kane was the descendant of the fourth prince who occupied the imperial capital during the Lion War and freed the Scarlet Knight God from his seal. Over the years, their family had been thinking about restoring their former glory. In their view, their ancestor, the fourth prince who was called the "false emperor" by later historians, their ancestor Othrus, was the real ruler of this country. The current royal family was nothing more than a pathetic usurper. Not to mention, the Lion Emperor at that time was a bastard, which was unacceptable to the nobles.

Especially as time went by, by the time of Eugent III of this generation, they found that the other party still had not given up. They colluded with Osborn and tried to weaken the power of the nobles and make them less important... and this was absolutely intolerable in the eyes of Duke Kane!

What a joke! Only an empire ruled by aristocrats is a legitimate empire!

To this end, he united the four famous families and the aristocratic faction, and used the power of the terrorist association and the Imperial Liberation Front to successfully occupy the imperial capital.

Originally, Duke Kane believed that it was only a matter of time before he could control the entire empire. However, he did not expect that... things would actually turn out like this!

Trash, all of them are trash!

The Imperial Liberation Front is finished, and I don't know where the "witch" of that society has gone! But it doesn't matter, I already knew that these people are not trustworthy... But it doesn't matter, anyway, I have already prepared.

Thinking of this, Duke Kane turned his head and stared at the blindfolded Crown Prince sitting on the chair with red eyes. Then he strode over and lifted up the Crown Prince.

"Come on, Your Highness - it's time to show your tyranny! Just burn your ancient Anor blood!!"

As he spoke, Duke Kane grabbed the Crown Prince and shoved him hard towards the scarlet mecha behind him!

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

Along with the Crown Prince's screams, a bright red magic circle appeared out of nowhere and started spinning. Then the Crown Prince was seen being swallowed up by it.

The next moment, the entire castle began to tremble.

“——!!”

A flash of light.

A blue circle of light appeared on the ground, and the next moment, a woman in a cyan blue dress and with long black hair suddenly appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground.

"Huh...Huh...I, I'm still alive..."

The woman looked at her hands with a pale face, her body trembling. She could not forget that dazzling white light, which was enough to destroy everything and completely decompose everything. As one of the apostles of the association, the woman also possessed unparalleled power, and she was proud of it. But...

That's different.

Recalling everything that happened before, the woman shuddered. She still remembered that just before, she was standing on the deck of the noble flagship, chatting happily with Rufus, the staff officer of the noble alliance. However, when the other party launched a small missile, the woman suddenly felt a panic in her heart, and then, a nightmare appeared before her eyes.

The white light that could even pierce the retina burst out instantly, and at that moment, the woman felt as if time around her slowed down. She watched the dazzling ball of light gradually spread, and everything that came into contact with the light, whether it was a person, steel, or anything else, seemed to be fused and disappeared into the light.

The woman swore that at that moment, she had never been so scared before. Even when facing death, she had the confidence to handle it with ease. However, facing this almost irresistible and unreasonable destructive force, she was left with only fear in her heart.

"puff……!!"

The black-haired witch took a few breaths, and then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Although she escaped in time, the forced teleportation also had a considerable impact on her body. Not only that, the black-haired woman's eyes were also blurry at the moment, and she couldn't see anything clearly. The terrifying destructive force even affected her space teleportation. Now the black-haired woman only felt a tearing pain all over her body, and her brain was also a mess.

At this moment, suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and at the same time, the black-haired witch seemed to sense something, and she turned her head to look towards the imperial capital - in her blurred vision, the only thing she could see was the scarlet light.

“That’s… No, how can it be… No… Ugh…!!”

Feeling the strong breath coming from that direction, the black-haired witch wanted to say something, but the next moment her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

At this time, Fang Zheng, along with Alfin, Ling, Tio, Tova, Alyssa and others, formed the "Huangmo City One-Day Tour Group" and successfully arrived at the top floor of Huangmo City.

"boom!!"

Fang Zheng kicked the door open and walked in, looking around at the same time.

"Oh, that's good. The noise is quite big. It's worth our trip."

At this moment, the entire top floor of Huangmo City was covered by a red glow. In front of everyone, a huge bright red mecha was standing there, and not far away from it, Duke Kane was looking at the crimson mecha in front of him with a smug look. Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, he turned around and looked at everyone.

"I never thought you would be able to come here..."

"Duke Kane!"

Seeing Duke Kane, Princess Elfin also shouted hurriedly.

"Where did you take my brother?"

"Ah, Your Highness, I never thought you would come here. This is really a blessing from heaven."

Seeing the appearance of Princess Elfin, Duke Kane sneered even more.

"Please rest assured. I just want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help me realize my little dream."

"What have you done to my brother!"

Princess Elfin clenched her fists at this moment and stared at Duke Kane, who just smiled smugly.

"He has merged with this Crimson Knight God! Two hundred and fifty years... Two hundred and fifty years of sad wish! Now, I will take over my ancestors' place and take back the throne that we deserve... And this is my trump card! Wake up, Crimson End Demon King!!"

“——!!!”

Following Duke Kane's call, the bright red mecha in front of him suddenly spewed out scorching flames. At the same time, its armor gradually turned black, looking like burnt charcoal.

"Could that be the legendary Lion Battle..."

Seeing this scene, Princess Elfin's face changed drastically, and Tova and Alyssa were also stunned.

On the other hand, Illya and Xiao Hei stood by and began to comment on the mecha in front of them.

"Don't tell me, Illya, this thing looks useless, but it's pretty cool."

"Ah... well, it's pretty..."

"But unfortunately, the only thing left is handsomeness."

"Xiao Hei, it's not nice of you to say that..."

"The truth is...we have dismantled so many things like this, so what's the point of being handsome? Strength is the truth."

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with a strange atmosphere. Opposite them, Duke Kane, with the awakened Crimson End Demon King, showed a proud aura comparable to that of a big boss, while Alyssa, Elfin and Tova on the opposite side were pale and nervous. On the contrary, Ling and Tio next to them were quite calm, as if they were in a movie theater ready to watch a good show, while Illya and Xiao Hei pointed and talked, giving people the feeling that they came to visit the ancient monuments to enjoy the drama... except that they took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

But for Fang Zheng...he just came here for tourism.

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll get it done in a minute."

Patting Princess Elfen's shoulder, Fang Zheng casually summoned a pitch-black greatsword and a silver-white dagger, and strode forward. Seeing his back, Princess Elfen also shouted hurriedly.

"Please be careful, Master Fang Zheng, that is the legendary demon god!!"

“Kill him!!”

At the same time, Duke Kane stared at Fang Zheng fiercely and gave an order. Then the scarlet mech suddenly drew out a huge bright red sword from thin air and swept it towards Fang Zheng!

"call!!!"

The bright red flaming sword swept across the floor, and Fang Zheng faced the giant sword that was three times as tall as himself. He did not dodge, but raised the short blade in his right hand and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!!"

The gunshot rang out, and the next moment the crimson mecha trembled and stopped moving. At this moment, Fang Zheng raised the pitch-black sword and swung it forward.

A cold light flashed.

Everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and then they saw Fang Zheng appear behind the crimson mech. He held the great sword in his hand and raised it straight forward. Then the next moment, they saw the huge mech tilt and fall diagonally to the ground - its left leg was completely cut off at the knee by Fang Zheng, leaving only half of the limb.

However, this is not the end.

At the moment when the crimson mech fell, Fang Zheng turned around and drew his sword again. With the remaining stump of his right foot flying, the crimson mech fell heavily to the ground.

However, as a cursed demon, it obviously did not intend to surrender. The crimson mech suddenly raised its body and roared again as the other party was waving its weapon. It raised its right hand high and swung it forward - then it spun away from its body, crashed into the wall not far away, and fell to the ground.

This time, the scarlet mecha finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell forward wailing. At the same time, its head and left arm were cut off. In the blink of an eye, the originally mighty mecha god turned into a bare human stick... or a machine stick?

"boom!!!"

The incomplete, naked body of the mecha fell to the ground. Only at this time did Fang Zheng step forward. He clenched his right hand and punched the light ball on the chest of the mecha, hitting it directly. Then Fang Zheng retracted his right hand again - at this moment, he already had an unconscious crown prince in his hand.

"Cedric!!"

Seeing his brother being rescued, Alfin ran over quickly, and the others also walked forward, looking curiously at the wreckage of the mecha in front of them.

"You are worthy of being my big brother. I knew you would win."

Xiao Hei smiled and gave Fang Zheng a thumbs up, while the latter raised his eyebrows.

"Of course. You don't think I can't handle a toy like this."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at Duke Kane who was not far away. At this moment, Duke Kane had long lost his previous high spirits. He just stood there stupidly, looking at the mecha that had been shredded into a human stick, as if he was completely unable to accept the reality before him.

How is this possible?

Is this a dream?

That was the most terrifying and powerful Crimson Doom Devil! How could he be destroyed so easily?

Hahaha, fake, everything is fake, fake!!!

"Hahahaha! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!!"

Suddenly, under the gaze of everyone, Duke Kane jumped up suddenly, rushed forward with a loud laugh, and pounced on the wreckage of the scarlet mecha.

"Hurry up and kill them, quickly!! I don't believe it!! I don't believe it!!! This is an illusion, hurry up, you are the Demon King of the End!"

"How pitiful."

Looking at this scene, Xiao Hei curled his lips.

"I guess he's crazy."

"There's no point in playing crazy."

Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

"Okay, our mission is over. It's time to pack up and get ready to go home and sleep."
