At that moment, the colossal sandworm, as large as a pillar supporting the sky, fell from the heavens.
It opened its enormous, fleshy maw, seemingly intending to devour Halenason and everyone else present!
but……
Without turning his head, Hainersen simply raised an arm behind him.
In that instant, the muscles in his arm bulged, and the veins on his skin became visible.
Boom!!!
With a powerful impact, everyone's eyes widened.
One of Halenason's arms was firmly embedded in the sandworm's enormous head.
They managed to withstand the force of the sand worm's impact.
However, this is not the end.
He turned around, leaned forward, and stretched out his other hand, gripping the edge of the sandworm's massive mouth tightly.
At that moment, Helnason took a deep breath, and his muscles bulged once again.
Even a few buttons on his butler's uniform had popped open.
His hands supported the sand worm's enormous body, and a powerful shockwave erupted from behind him.
With one foot raised into the air, it suddenly pulled the enormous brown sandworm completely out of the ground.
In an instant, a terrifying sandstorm swept up from the ground, and the flesh and blood of various monster corpses, accompanied by the stench of blood, scattered in all directions.
The sandworm's terrifying body flew through the air again, passing over the bear-man's shoulder, and plummeted to the ground on the other side.
boom!
A loud explosion rang out, and the vast earth trembled violently.
The strong tremor jolted everyone out of their daze, and they all covered their faces with their hands, trying to avoid the sandstorm that was sweeping in.
A brown storm swept into the sky, and thick dust hurled down on the earth.
After a long while, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
The enormous sandworm lay completely upright on the ground, turning its body and wriggling back and forth on the earth.
Its thickness was comparable to that of dozens of magic trains combined together.
Helnarson simply used one hand to easily press down on the sandworm's body.
With just a simple movement, it became completely immobilized.
Everyone present froze, staring wide-eyed as Helnason pinned down the towering sand worm.
They were completely shocked, their minds were in complete disarray, and even now, they still feel like they are in a dream.
Even Hera's mind went blank for a moment before she looked up at the still dignified Helnason.
What was she thinking just now?
The other person must have been very powerful when they were young?
Is it too late to take back my previous idea?
At the same time, Helnason reached up to straighten his upright butler's uniform and straighten his tie.
Only then did he slowly turn around and look at Hera:
Where were we?
...
"So those monsters haven't invaded the city yet."
The eldest prince lowered his head and muttered those words weakly, as his strength gradually returned.
He took several deep breaths.
When the officer reported the fall of the south, he felt so nervous and anxious that his heart seemed to stop.
My vision blurred for a moment, and my mind became hazy.
In such a short time, if the beast tide really breached the city, the army wouldn't even have a chance to disperse the civilians.
Even if the people are expelled, the consequences would be equally unimaginable if the city were to fall.
The empire has established three fronts in the south.
A front line guarding the monster rift, and a vast battlefield on the second front.
The last line of defense was the city wall line built based on Godin Lima.
There are large quantities of highly lethal weapons of mass destruction piled up there, which are also the last and most important means of defense at the border.
Even if the people were dispersed, the area, as a border region, remains an extremely important strategic point.
If lost, the entire southern region will face annihilation.
The eldest prince slowly came to his senses, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a deep breath.
He straightened up, walked solemnly to Viktor, and reached out to grasp one of Viktor's hands.
Express your gratitude with a respectful 90-degree bow.
"Thank you very much, Count Victor."
The nobles, witnessing the scene before them, fell silent.
A 90-degree bow is the most respectful form of etiquette; anything higher is a kneeling gesture of allegiance.
But as a prince, Albany naturally couldn't do that.
At this point, the nobles could understand why the eldest prince would do such a thing.
From the Crown Prince's perspective, Victor's early intervention was tantamount to saving the entire southern part of the empire.
The southern part of the empire is the territory guarded by the eldest prince.
Unbeknownst to her, Lia smiled and retreated back to Kokot's side.
Kokot sat in his chair, propping his chin on his hand, looking at Viktor with some dissatisfaction:
"Didn't we agree that I'd be the main character today?"
Seeing Liya return, she muttered a few more words.
"You really want him to steal the spotlight."
Leah sat back down in her chair, a smile playing on her lips, but with a hint of helplessness in her expression.
"no way."
"Well, he's the head of my family, after all."
As she said this, her gaze shifted to Ripoultry on the other side.
Looking at the elegant and noble head of the Leiser family, Lia found it somewhat amusing.
Now, Victor has a reason to question this guy.
Just as Lia had expected.
Viktor casually stretched out one hand and gently removed the two palms that the Crown Prince had placed on his other hand.
"No need for thanks for now, since you asked me for help."
The eldest prince straightened up, his eyes widened slightly, his mouth was half open, and his face showed a hint of surprise.
"Just don't forget to transfer the money."
Then, he turned back to look at Riboot:
"Now, I only have one more question to ask."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Victor walked slowly to Riboot's side with light, crisp steps.
Sensing Victor approaching, Riboot slightly raised his head.
Their eyes met, one of gleaming golden sand, the other of Viktor's deep black gaze.
"The South is also under the jurisdiction of your Leiser family."
Viktor spoke each word clearly, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint.
The chill emanating from his tone was like a bottomless ice cave:
"If you don't have anything to say today."
“I will force you to explain.”
