Under the Root

So he nodded, spoke, praised.

"You are worthy of being a loyal family who protected the empire for thousands of years. Your performance today is worthy of the first emperor, and worthy of your 51 generations of ancestors."

"...Your Majesty." Trembling with excitement, Bud raised his head in disbelief.looked to the emperor.

"What, Bud? Am I weird?" The little emperor smiled, as innocent as before.

"Your Majesty, it's different from before." Bud muttered to himself.

"Once upon a time? Ah, yes. After all, someone woke me up from my dream. Since I can't dream, I have to face reality." The emperor said in a playful tone.

"Li Lin?"

"Yes, that's a bucket of cold water." The emperor said as if remembering something. "It's really cool. But now is not the time to talk about this. Bude, go and treat your wounds. It would be a pity if you died from your injuries."

"But."

"There are guys at the same level as you here. Don't worry, step back." The little emperor looked in the shadows, where a tall figure with blue hair was waving at Bud.

"Yes...... Ai, I understand." Bud gave her a surprised look, and then retreated obediently from the hall.

If it was normal, he would definitely jump out and question that person's loyalty first.But no longer.He realized that the current emperor no longer needed his "guardian".

then.

"Then, there are only two of us left. Estes." The emperor turned his head and looked at the strongest former empire. "Li Lin also left you here. Are we both abandoned?"

"It's just that you were abandoned. I can still feel that person's heartbeat." Touching his chest, Estes felt the pulse of his heart.

"Oh, that's right. How jealous."

"Jealousy, are you going to kill me?"

"I originally planned to do so, but I was asked to be a benevolent king. If that's the case, I can only pardon you. Imperial General Esdes, from today onwards you will lead your Esdes army again. "

"I like the one named Hei Tong very much." Estes bargained.

"Oh, then it's up to you to fill the vacancy of the three beast warriors."

"Humph." Esdeath snorted softly, accepting the appointment.

"What about after that? Do you want me to capture Sishui Pass? After the burst of light for unknown reasons just now, I feel the desire to hunt all over my body." Estes asked.

"No, it is no longer necessary." The emperor shook his head.

"What about the night raid captured by Bude during the interrogation?" Esdeath asked again.

"No, that's unnecessary." The emperor shook his head again.

"...What do you want to do?" Esthers took a deep look at the emperor.

"I'm going to make peace. With the Revolutionary Army," said the emperor. "If you continue to fight, it will be the common people who will suffer. Now there is no need for that."

"Reconciliation, are you still dreaming?" The strongest face of the empire showed an expression of interest.

"No, it's not a dream, it's just that I chose to be a Nioh."

"Then do you know that after the peace talks, the prestige of the empire will be greatly damaged."

"I know."

"Then do you know that after making peace, what you will face will not be an enemy who can be easily eliminated with a sword, but various dignitaries who hold resentment towards you."

"I know."

"Then do you know that after the peace talks, you may not be able to keep the country you might have kept."

"I know." The emperor nodded, his eyes showed unprecedented firmness. "But this is the best choice for the people of the empire. I am the emperor, and it is only natural for me to carry the empire. If I am crushed by fate, it is only the end of the empire's national destiny. .Then, let my life be a sacrifice for the new age."

"...One last question." Esdeath raised two fingers.

"How can you guarantee that the Revolutionary Army will make peace with you?"

"This question." Suddenly, a deafening voice came from the hall.A beam of light piercing the sky came out of it and shot straight into the sky.

Then with the main hall as the center, the vast underground cave began to spread continuously.

boom! ! !

Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in the hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters.Rising continuously in the abyss-like black hole.

That is, nearly three 400 meters high behemoth.The gigantic figure is wearing silver-gray armor covering the entire body, and its face is covered by a silver-white mask.

In this ending, the first and strongest Teigu appears here.

"There are two steps. First, let my people realize the power of the empire with the majesty of the Supreme Emperor's protective mechanism. Second..."

"Esdes, in the name of the Emperor, I order you to take Minister Ernest out of the prison. Cut him into pieces!!!"

"The end of this world turned out to be like this." In Violet's room, Margaret looked at Li Lin in admiration. "Did you expect it a long time ago, Master Li Lin?"

"No, it's just fate. Just like you praised me, everything in this world will be as I wish." Li Lin looked at the world with relief.

"...Is that so, but I still don't understand something."

"Is there anything else I don't understand."
