Chapter 24 (1/2)
24 – Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s Decision
Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s capital Narona City, within the imperial palace
A blue-haired and green-eyed man sat on the throne, he had a hooked nose and was brawny as a bear, his eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with coldness and dignity as he looked down. This blue-haired and green-eyed man was the current Archduke Fernandro.
This generation’s Archduke Fernandro is one of the most outstanding Archdukes in Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s history. Under his leaders.h.i.+p, the entire Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality was thriving and was several times more flouris.h.i.+ng than in the past.<sup>1</sup>
Under the watch of Archduke Fernandro, the ministers were somewhat restless and frightened. Archduke Fernando had a very clear policy about rewards and punishments, his rewards were extremely generous, however, his punishments were also extremely generous and difficult to bear.<sup>2,3</sup>
Archduke Fernandro spoke every single word in a gloomy voice: ” I want to know the origin of that Steel lord Yang Ye!”
The ministers lowered their heads one by one, not daring to face Archduke Fernandro. Yang Feng emerged just recently, less than half a year ago, prior to this, those ministers practically didn’t pay Autumn-Leaf Town, that lied in a remote corner, any attention. Who could have imagined that in less than three month, even Black City would be conquered.
Archduke Fernandro’s gaze turned around and fell onto a middle-aged man with a somewhat gray hair. The middle-aged man was named Archer and was Fernando Princ.i.p.ality’s minister of defense.
Archer said slowly: “Your Majesty, according to our intelligence, Autumn-Leaf Town’s Zhao Jiang suddenly occupied Black-Rock Town more than two months ago. He commanded Steel Lord Yang Ye’s mechanical golem legion. Shortly afterwards, Giant-Stone City dispatched troops in order to punish the rebellion, yet they were defeated by Steel Lord’s mechanical golem legion. Then Steel Lord Yang Ye’s mechanical golem legion raided Black City and murdered its master Bonney. According to my conjectures, Zhao Jiang is likely to have obtained a relic from Sixth Dynasty, obtaining its mechanical golem legion.
“Sixth Dynasty!”
“Is that mechanical golem legion a product of Sixth Dynasty?”
“Sixth Dynasty’s mechanical golem legion could even ma.s.sacre the terrifying G.o.ds! If that really is Sixth Dynasty’s mechanical golem legion, how can we defend against them?”
Hearing the name of Sixth Dynasty, all the ministers’ complexions at once became extremely pale, as all of them pitched in in the discussion.
Within the Eight Great Warlock Dynasties, Second Warlock Dynasty was a dynasty br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a variety of taboo research. Sixth Dynasty was a dynasty br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the refinement of a variety of Mysterious Treasures. Sixth Dynasty was also known as the Mysterious Treasure Dynasty. Mechanical golems were a formidable battle weaponry developed by Mysterious Treasure Dynasty. During the time of Sixth Dynasty, their mechanical golem legion campaigned in various planes, while also conquering many of them – they ma.s.sacred an uncountable number of G.o.ds’ and fiends’ planes.
The highest masterpiece of Sixth Dynasty’s was the mechanical golem king Acanthe, who’s fighting prowess were one of the strongest at the time. Afterwards, not knowing why, Acanthe under the enticement of the fiends commanded 1/3 of the mechanical golem legion to rebel against Sixth Dynasty, which then led to the downfall of Sixth Dinasty.
After the destruction of Sixth Dynasty, Acanthe moved to a main material plane, occupied it and became its ruler. That main material plane is now called ‘Core of Mechanics’ plane. Among the humans it’s also known as one of the strongest and most terrifying planes.
A lot of fiends and G.o.ds were going to the ‘Core of Mechanics’ plane in an attempt to kill the supposedly already extremely weak Acanthe. All the formidable beings from different planes that went to that plane, each and everyone became a specimen hanging in front of the mechanical gate. Over time, there haven’t been anymore formidable beings daring enough to venture into the ‘Core of Mechanics’ plane.
Sixth Dynasty’s mechanical golem legion is ferocious and formidable. If a single warrior-cla.s.s golem from Sixth Dynasty’s strongest mechanical golem legion casually went to Turandot Subcontinent, it could sweep across the whole Turandot Subcontinent, without finding any-one capable of resisting.
Archer said heavily: “Don’t panic, everyone. Even if he obtained Sixth Dynasty’s mechanical golem legion, the mechanical golem legion at the time already didn’t had much strength. According to our intelligence, currently, those mechanical golems’s battle prowess only remain at the Knight rank. And the majority of the melee type mechanical golems should be somewhat defective, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy for him to obtain them. As long as we employ the Blood Bat Knights, then we can easily crush them.”
