"You... how did you find this place?"
Looking at the Blue Rose team that suddenly broke into the door, the leader of Eight Fingers suddenly showed a panicked expression, and subconsciously wanted to open another secret passage to escape.
But before he could take any actual action, a dazzling golden light fell from the sky and directly penetrated this secret stronghold deep underground.
"Excalibur!"
Along with Artoria's angry roar, the holy sword once again bloomed with terrifying power that made everyone awe.
In just a few seconds, a passage leading straight up and down to the surface was formed out of thin air, and the dazzling sunlight illuminated the originally dark environment.
Hundreds of meters of soil were completely evaporated, and not even a small piece of gravel fell from the top of the head.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Is this the legendary power of King Arthur? It's too exaggerated!"
Gargantua raised his head and stared at the short figure standing above, his face full of shock and disbelief.
This secret stronghold is hundreds of meters above the ground!
"Exaggeration? He was already merciful just now! Otherwise, all these Eight Fingers bastards would have died without even leaving any scum left!" Evileye said with strong fear in his tone.
As a Vampire, no one knows better than her how terrifying the Holy Light energy was in that blow just now.
If it is irradiated on oneself, it will be purified in minutes and wiped out into ashes under the action of Holy Energy.
"As expected of Princess Lana's respected brother! It seems that Kingdom will regain prosperity under his rule soon." Lagris said very pleased.
Although her parents and elders have also been deprived of a lot of rights, she doesn't care too much, as long as the country can develop in a better direction.
After all, the purge of the nobles by Bloody Emperor next door is a ready example.
Just as a few people were talking, Artoria jumped directly from the surface of the ground, like a cannonball hitting the ground with a bang and making a small crater.
She glanced at the senior officials of Eight Fingers present with sharp eyes, and immediately said in an emotionless tone, "In my capacity as King! I hereby sentence you, scum, who have committed the most heinous crimes, to death!"
"Wait!" Sylphina undoubtedly smelled the strong aura of death and hurriedly stood up with his hands raised. "Your Majesty King! I am willing to hand over all the money these people have earned and tell you where their private treasury is hidden. I just ask you to be lenient and pardon my death penalty."
"Money?" Saber raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing an expression full of sarcasm. "Do you think the people who have died because of the drugs you extracted and sold over the years, and the countless broken families behind them, can be measured in terms of money? No! I will never forgive any of you! Someone once told me that there is only one thing in this world that is absolutely fair, and that is death."
"That's right! Only death is the fairest thing in the world! But Your Majesty, there are many ways to die, but for people who have committed heinous crimes, I think they should be allowed to taste enough pain before they die to be worthy of the victims." Evileye took the initiative to step forward and put one hand on his chest and suggested.
"What, do you want to execute me instead?" Artoria looked up and down at this blond loli who looked younger than herself.
Evileye nodded without thinking, "That's right! I promised Mr. Chairman that I would make these scum's death as painful as possible."
[Allen?]
Artoria instantly realized something and immediately put away the holy sword and responded, "Okay! Then I'll leave this place to you. But remember to take the corpses to the square later. I will hang them up for public display to deter other criminals."
"Don't worry, dear! I promise to give you some complete corpses with great visual impact."
As he said that, Evileye suddenly raised his hand and made a grabbing motion without any call.
The next second...
Poof! puff! puff!
The blood vessels of all Eight Fingers executives present burst at the same time, and the dazzling scarlet blood quickly flowed into the air in a line, and finally gathered into a huge ball, which looked both eerie and weird.
Since the extraction speed was not fast, they did not die immediately, but could clearly feel that their body temperature was getting lower and colder.
And as the blood loss increased, his body began to become weak, but he was unable to move, and his spirit was particularly clear.
shock!
fear!
despair!
There is nothing crueler than watching yourself die step by step.
The eyes of every Eight Fingers executive showed pleading.
But unfortunately, Evileye was completely unmoved by these bastards whose hands were stained with the blood of innocent people. He just spit out a few words from his mouth. "Tenth Tier Magic——Blood Feast!"
"Tenth level?!"
Blue Rose's captain Lagris's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Ah! I have just mastered this magic, and I am not very skilled in using it. Otherwise, I could maintain this state for several hours and let these evil bastards feel what the innocent people who died at their hands have experienced." Evileye responded with a cold face.
Just when Gargantua whistled and was about to say something, a figure suddenly rushed out from a dark corner.
"Space Slash!"
Uh-huh!
The dazzling cold light flashed through the air instantly, directly hitting Heroine's armor, making a crisp sound.
"Space Slash?!"
Gargantua subconsciously glanced at the scratches on the armor, pursed his lips with a contemptuous smile and mocked, "It's just a special steel wire tied to the front end of the sword. You actually have the nerve to call this move Space Slash?"
"What? How did you see clearly?"
The attacker slowly walked out of the shadows, revealing a figure wrapped in black armor.
Space Slash in Six Arms - Peshilian.
Not only himself, but also followed by Thousand Kills——Mamvist, Blood Dance Scimitar——Edsteren, Illusion Demon——Salongte.
Excluding the dead Overlord——Divanoc, all members of Six Arms are present.
"They are really a bunch of frogs in the well! Today I will let you have a good look at the strength of the Hunter Association official Hunter. Stop talking nonsense! Come together! I don't have time to waste time here with you!"
Saying that, Gargantua suddenly took a step forward and injected the amazing Life Energy into the huge war hammer.
Before Six Arms could react, she raised her war hammer high and slammed it down on the ground.
"Secret skill! Quaking Earth!"
Boom!!!!
When the hammer collided violently with the ground, people within a hundred meters radius felt the violent vibration, and they all lost their balance and fell to the ground.
At the moment when the opponent completely lost his balance, Gargantua rushed out like a cannonball, directly hammering Space Slash - Peshilian into small pieces.
The entire helmet was dented directly, and blood, brain matter and eyeballs flowed out along the gaps.
"Weird... monster!"
Edsteren was so frightened that he quickly backed away, trying to escape from where he had just been hiding.
But before he could run a few steps, Gargantua caught up with him and smashed his spine with a hammer, and then smashed his chest with another hammer, killing him instantly.
In front of this Heroine, the proud Six Arms of Eight Fingers couldn't even hold on for ten seconds before they all fell to the ground and turned into miserable corpses.
"Bah! At this level? It would be more exciting to compete with that guy Peter Mok."
Gargantua spat hard at the corpse on the ground, and then returned to the place with the hammer.
"Captain! We have searched the entire base and found nothing that slipped through the net."
"There are a lot of funds hidden in the vault at the bottom that have not yet been transferred!"
Tia and Hina appeared out of thin air and quickly reported their investigation results.
"Huh - so we have successfully annihilated Eight Fingers, and finally successfully completed the mission entrusted by Princess Lana." Lagris breathed a sigh of relief instantly.
Gargantua nodded with deep understanding. "Yes! Without Kingdom's largest criminal network in history, the greedy and stupid nobles have been suppressed, and with the wise new king, I believe this country will get better and better. What's more, King Arthur has great trust in Princess Lana and even entrusted her with the position of prime minister. With her wisdom, the lives of common people should soon be improved."
"Let's go! Let's say goodbye, and then return quickly to attend the Phase One Campaign organized by the president. If we rush back now, we should be able to drink some leftover soup!"
As he spoke, Lagris blew the special whistle hanging around his neck.
Along with the harsh sound, a huge Frost Dragon fell from the sky, landing from the huge "skylight" punched out by Artoria.
"Evileye! Stop playing! Kill these disgusting bugs quickly, we have to leave." Gargantua patted his companion on the shoulder and urged.
"Got it!"
The old loli nodded, and immediately raised her hand to speed up the blood drawing. It took about three to five seconds to end the life of senior Eight Fingers, and then sucked all the huge blood cells into her body.
moment!
She felt a strong stimulation and pleasure that could not be described in words.
At the same time, both physical fitness and Vampire's level have been strengthened to some extent.
Obviously, this is why she is eager to get those Blood Magic.
As a Vampire, Evileye cannot get rid of his desire for blood.
But if you use your mouth to suck it, even if it is obtained through legal means, it will be easily misunderstood once discovered, and you may even be regarded as a monster and be hunted down.
But if you use magic, you can completely avoid the above unpleasant situations.
As the Blue Rose team rode away on Frost Dragon, Kingdom's soldiers quickly took over the place and began to methodically count the stolen money, transporting Eight Fingers's blood-drained and gruesome corpse back to the city and hanging it for public display.
When the news was officially announced to the public, the entire Royal Capital public was excited.
Whether it is Blue Rose, who already has a good reputation among the people, or King Arthur played by Artoria, they immediately became heroes praised by everyone.
For these bastards who have never done anything in human affairs, the people at the bottom hate them so much that they dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Otherwise, not only will you be retaliated against, but your family and friends will also be implicated.
But now, the mountain that was weighing on everyone's heads has finally been uprooted, and all the bastards involved have received the punishment they deserve.
It was simply unimaginable during the reign of the incompetent and mediocre old King.
In addition to gaining huge popularity, Artoria also showed the nobles his close relationship with Blue Rose and Hunter Association through this operation.
Less than three days after this incident ended, Marquis Broom Rush, who had just announced his intention to establish an independent country, ran from his territory to Royal Capital, knelt in front of the palace, begged the new King for forgiveness, and was willing to accept all forms of punishment.
As for the reason, of course it was the Empire army pressing down on the situation.
In order to get the first batch of purchase and use rights for the Cannon, Airship, steam train and other new gadgets recently developed by the Hunter Association, he asked one of Four Knights to serve as the commander and directly dispatched a total of 30,000 troops.
You know, these are 30,000 professional soldiers!
When fighting the entire Kingdom, Empire only dispatched 60,000 men.
Marquis Broom Rush, who had never had any military talent, had never seen such a scene. He was afraid that the other party would come in directly and take the blame for his family, old and young, and take away the rich property accumulated by generations of family talents.
Under the guidance of Princess Lana, Artoria suppressed his disgust and disgust and performed a political show with the cunning old fox in front of him, expressing to the entire aristocratic group that he would not kill everyone.
As a result, as soon as the play ended, the domestic situation that was originally violently turbulent immediately calmed down.
Some nobles even began to voluntarily hand over their rights in exchange for retaining more property.
As the political situation stabilized, the apparent "brother and sister" teamed up to promote reforms and further complete centralization of power.
For example, distributing land to tenant farmers, abolishing the numerous checkpoints and taxes in various places, and replacing the original aristocratic rule of the country with a bureaucracy that selects talents through an examination system...
Seeing Kingdom, who was originally sliding into the abyss, getting better bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he had been reborn, Artoria felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Many times, just watching the laughter of adults and children on the street would give her a certain kind of satisfaction that cannot be described in words.
The most important thing is that she hasn't had the nightmare of the Ancient Britain Kingdom's destruction for a long time, and she can face it calmly even if she occasionally dreams of Knights of the Round Table in the past.
"I... finally got Redemption..."
Standing on the balcony of the palace and looking at the restored and prosperous city, Artoria finally said the words she had always wanted to say but could not say.
"Your Majesty! I asked the kitchen to prepare snacks for you. Do you want to eat some?" Blonde Girl Chiare came in from the outside carrying a dinner plate.
"Of course! You know, I never say no to good food."
Saber turned around and showed a faint smile, picked up a piece of pastry from the dinner plate and put it into his mouth, savoring the sweet aroma of milk, flour, sucrose and eggs mixed together.
Chiare looked at the hero in his heart with admiration and admiration, with a faint blush on his face.
