Chapter 572 The Emperor
"Emperor?"

The young Oletta couldn't help asking doubtfully.

"Exactly."

In front of him, the giant said in a deep voice: "You who know the future should be able to understand that this world is already coming to an end. The Twilight Species will soon discover this place, and there is no hope for Farnes anymore."

"We must leave this universe. This is our only way to survive. Saint Laurent is not only the savior of Farnes, but also our only god... Without him, our civilization would not be able to pass on during the wandering period. "

"...You mean, wandering period?"

Oletta unconsciously put on a more respectful tone.

The old giant nodded silently, and the voice sounded in Oletta's heart: "That's right... After the twilight in this world was completely wiped out, in the process of our departure to the new world - in our generation all die, and all the old laws and morals will be in vain until a new generation that has never seen the old world finds a new world untainted by the twilight."

"There will always be so-called 'sages' in this world—they discover how useless the old traditions that people are used to are, and they begin to complacently abandon the teachings of sages and set new ones for their world. Law."

"The significance of Yves Saint Laurent's existence is that he can correct their thinking at this time. Yves Saint Laurent will become their new thinking, the basis for the existence of the entire world...the core of the new Farnes."

"On the contrary, the limited field of vision can see more clearly. Farnes no longer needs prophets, nor does he need wise men... The examples of false gods are enough to prove that this world does not need people who pretend to be smart."

The old giant said word by word: "What Farnes needs are pious people. In the endless voyages, battles and despair, only the name of Saint Laurent can bring comfort to those of us who have left home and have nothing. Everything for Glory to Saint Laurent."

"...all for the glory of Saint Laurent."

Oletta followed the old giant's last praise, murmured, and gradually showed a somewhat determined and unyielding look in her eyes.

For a moment, the silver flames surrounding the two seemed to be activated, and more than thirty pure white spear knights stood up from it, rushing towards the shadow giant ape staring silently.

It was an extremely vicious monster that would make people lose their will to fight just by looking at its size. It was close to five meters tall. It was an existence that a mortal body could not kill no matter what. It only needed one body to slaughter villages and towns.

Although it looks infinitely different, if he is an evil dragon, there is no problem——

But that's not a dragon.

Not to mention the huge pure-blood dragons, even their derivatives, the kind of monsters that are more than ten meters tall that can destroy a country with just one body cannot compare.

Oletta couldn't help shaking her head in disappointment.

There are three characteristics of a giant dragon, all of which are indispensable: a breath that can evaporate gold instantly, a body that cannot be pierced by a sword, and wings that can easily whip up hurricanes and soar into the sky without wind.

Only with all of them can it be called a giant dragon, the living embodiment of disaster.With a big enough dragon, it would be easy to destroy a small country.

In the golden age, Farnes was out of such unrest and turmoil.

It is true that at that time, Farnes had no foreign enemies and abundant supplies, but it was not like today, when almost all the resources were exhausted.However, Farnes in that era was a place where golden species were rampant.

A giant that can crush the sky with a single blow, a beast that can drain the life force of a forest just by breathing, or a huge fireball that can cool the entire sky with its wreckage.

Farnes at that time was chaotic and powerful.The golden species from the old era, those abandoned people who were exterminated by the dusk, no matter which one they give up, it is not good.After all, the original idea of ​​the creator god Aum was to hope that the saints and the silver species would allow these golden species to leave this universe alive.

Among the golden species, the only artificial species is the dragon.This is the last guardian that Orm specially created for Farnes—if it is really a pure-blooded dragon, it can easily reach the length of several kilometers, and it only needs one scale to be taller than the door. , blood and flesh falling on the ground will turn into brand new tokens.

An orangutan that is only five or six meters tall is a vicious beast at best, capable of slaughtering towns, but absolutely unable to destroy a country.That's his limit as a monster.

However, at the same time that this thought came to Auletta's mind, the giant ape, which seemed to be composed of pure nothingness, roared and opened its arms, its snout became sharp for no reason, and behind it was a huge broken dragon wing When it came out, it instantly turned into a dragon that was no different from a real giant dragon.Mirror-like smooth scales popped out of the shadows, and viscous black flames overflowed from it.

In just an instant, his size suddenly doubled.In a few seconds, it swelled to a length of several kilometers. If it weren't for Auletta's spiritual space, its change in size alone would be enough to directly squeeze Elcatel.

With the roar of the giant dragon, the surrounding air boiled instantly.The world twisted and turned yellow like scorched plastic, and the severe pain of being stabbed in the head by a needle made Oletta almost out of breath for a moment.

Just looking at it, Oletta was terrified to the point of suffocation.

If it wasn't for his willpower not degrading to childhood, just this one glance would be enough to make him go crazy instantly, and the fresh heart he had just obtained suddenly stagnated.

After about six or seven seconds, Oletta finally woke up.His fingers were trembling with fear, he could even feel his eyeballs twitching, his heart gripped by fear was almost broken.

...What kind of monster is that?

Aoletta no longer dared to raise her head to look directly at the dragon, so she could only look away.

Facing such a monster, even Sensei or Claudia can't defeat it...

For no reason, Oletta felt this way.He almost gave up the chance to fight directly.

"—For Saint Laurent!"

However, at this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded in the air.

Auletta was confused for a moment.

Because of that voice, it was exactly the same as him in his 20s.

"For Saint Laurent!"

This time it was the 40-year-old's voice that sounded.

"For Saint Laurent—"

The dense voice of Oletta rang in his own ears, and he seemed to feel that everything in front of him was gradually going away, and the passage of time became slower.

"Oletta, you have nothing to fear!"

A young voice echoed in his ears: "Because Saint Laurent is with us!"

Saying that, the pure white knights drove the white horses under their seats to take a sudden step forward, raised the spears in their hands, and stamped their iron hooves——

boom!
As the spears fell to the ground at the same time, the sound like a waterfall spread loudly, and the almost shaped sound waves made the roaring dragon almost stiffen.

At that moment, an inexplicable dumbness almost made him speechless.

Exactly—these heroes are themselves.

Finally remembered, my first dream——

"Daddy, I want to be a knight!"

The young wizard apprentice waved at his father in dissatisfaction: "I don't want to be a wizard!"

"Oh? Why do you want to become a knight, Ola? Do you want to slay a dragon?"

"——I want to protect my family!"

Little Oletta raised her head triumphantly and waved her fists: "That's what Brother Leon said."

"Protect your faith, protect your family, and protect those who ask you for help. Knights are the profession of protecting others——"

Oletta's eyes were in a trance, she raised her head and looked at the knight beside her.

But at this moment, he realized that he had also put on a pure white armor, a long sword on his waist, and a steel gun in his hand, and stepped on a horse burning with white flames, while the dim yellow giant It has long since disappeared.

The young knight stared fixedly at the black dragon, but no longer felt that fear.And the giant dragon stopped roaring, and just stared at it cautiously.

Inexplicably, Oletta showed a cheerful smile.

The evil dragon is right in front of you, why not fight for it?
"For the glory of Saint Laurent!"

He shouted, and rode forward in small steps, slowly walking to the front of the legion.

"For the glory of the Emperor!"

He roared, raised his spear, and suddenly launched the first charge in his life.

Following behind him, countless white knights gathered together, forming an extremely sharp spear, and launched the most arrogant charge at the same time.

Staring at the dragon that could destroy a country, the knight Oleta is already fearless.

Already, there is nothing to be afraid of——

"—For, the Emperor!"
