After finishing the Senate trip, Soshiyan originally thought that everything would end with a grand dinner, but to his surprise, the imperial guards made a new request to him.
And this is exactly what he expected.
The Imperial Marshal Trajan will meet him at the Overlord Tower. Perhaps the inside story of this expedition and some of the answers Soshiyan wanted to get, the Imperial Marshal will give him a satisfactory result. Therefore, he happily accepted it and handed the flag to the servants and let the other party bring it to the members of the group outside, followed the Imperial Marshal to the forbidden palace area of ​​the palace.
As the core of Terra Palace, the Forbidden Palace also has its own guard wall. Although the Forbidden Palace is smaller than the palace, these guard walls are not as grand as the guard walls in the hall area, but the height is higher and the overall color is golden. You can see the imperial guards holding swords and shields at any distance from the wall. They are the most basic sentry guards among the imperial guards.
Walking on the road paved with a whole piece of marble, Soshiyang had some conspiracy in his mind. From the arrangement of the imperial guards and his years of war experience, he inferred that the number of imperial guards must be greater than most people imagined, and it may even be possible to restore to a scale of nearly 10,000 people.
Because no matter how short the wall of the Forbidden Palace is, there may still be dozens or hundreds of kilometers. Even if one sentry guard is deployed every five hundred meters, it will take three or four hundred people. This is just the most basic defense, and it may not even be even defense. It is just a front outpost or a guard of honor. If the troops are very tight, so many troops will not be deployed on a wall. After all, the imperial guards cannot just need to stare at a wall.
Similarly, Soshiyan could not enter through the main entrance, and he followed Varelian all the way to one of the side doors of the Forbidden Palace walls.
Near the Forbidden Palace, the inner palace area is a large garden, which is as mysterious and wonderful as a fairyland. Sculptures of military and religious elements can be seen everywhere in the garden, mostly made into mighty generals and quiet saints, telling the vicissitudes of the forgotten history.
The gurgling fountain shines in the sun, and the white statues and surrounding green shades make the entire environment look noble and elegant.
Walking on the ancient bluestone road, the winding corridors lead Soshiyang into magnificent paintings, and a mysterious atmosphere runs through every building and decoration. The servants wear black or snow-white robes and serve everything in the palace without saying a word.
Black represents solemnity and mystery beauty, while white has more gorgeous and precious characteristics, and the two colors complement each other, like chess pieces on a chess board.
In addition, Soshiyan could feel that some of the servants were not ordinary people, but psychics. He could feel the energy they released, fresh and quiet, making the entire garden full of unique spirituality and energy.
It is really clever to shape the environment with a psychic, but I don’t know how safe it is.
In this charming place, while bathing in the sun, you can also feel the charm of nature. The air is filled with a fresh fragrance of flowers, which makes people intoxicated, as if they are in an incredible dream. It is hard to imagine that there is a barbaric steel jungle outside the wall.
"Are you angry? Commander of the Soshiyang."
Suddenly, just as Soshiyang was browsing the scenery in the palace garden, a slightly joking voice came from the side.
He turned his head and saw that it was Valerian, and he had come from the front to his left hand.
"Company Commander Valerian, how can you explain this?"
"You have won such a huge victory, but the high lords are repaying you with their own sarcasm and questioning. Don't you feel resentful in your heart?"
After hearing this, Soshiyang chuckled.
"What's the point of hating a dozen mortals who can only live for decades?"
"An unexpected answer, should you say you are open-minded or arrogant?
"To be honest, if I want to hate every dull, selfish, short-sighted and stupid mortal, then I may not be able to do anything. No matter what, at least they gave me a medal."
Soshiyang smiled and pointed to his chest.
“It’s not useless.”
"It seems that Tirien is not completely rewarding to find you."
"Prime Minister Tirien is a capable and thoughtful person. He made me realize that some problems with the empire are not caused by just twelve people... Company Commander Valerian, do you think I may be the next Huron?"
When Soshiyan's last question was issued, all the imperial guards around him instinctively tilted their heads slightly, and Varelian's helmet also raised slightly.
After a moment of silence, he whispered:
"No one knows until the moment when things happen."
Soshiyang smiled and shook his head.
"So, look, everyone is suspicious, and the duty of the high lords requires them to express people's doubts. I admit that I was really angry at first, but it was only that, because even if I argue with them, it would not dispel everyone's doubts. Then let it be, I probably won't have a second chance to come to Terra in this life."
Suddenly, Valerian laughed, and his low laughter came from under his helmet.
"Captain Soshyan, I'm sure now you won't be the second Huron."
"Oh? Why?"
"Huron doesn't have the demeanor and mind like you."
"It sounds like you know him very well?"
“We know much more than you think.”
Gradually, the team approached the Forbidden Palace Wall. The towering golden walls were carved with traces of history. On them were large and small defensive towers and Void Shield Steering, all of which were shaped into a Baroque architectural style. Every detail demonstrated the glory and glory of the Lord of Humanity.
An imperial guards immediately came towards him and communicated with Varelian. During this process, Soshiyan could feel dozens of gazes passing by him.
During this process, Soshiyang noticed a warrior holding a huge long sword, wearing a scarlet cloak and tassels, and wearing a helmet with a high-rise temple, staring at him silently, guessing that this should be the champion of the imperial guards.
He just didn't know how strong the opponent was. Soshiyang even had a rare impulse to fight with the opponent. It had been a long time since he met a warrior who could compete with him.
But this is just thinking about it. After all, this is the Forbidden Palace, just under the nose of the Lord of Humanity. Soshiyang didn't know if the confusing person was staring at him in the dark.
Maybe, I will meet each other here, too?
Anyway, I have many questions, and the other party can answer them.
A few minutes later, Valerian seemed to have coordinated with the other party and the team continued to move forward. However, when crossing the open door, Soshiyan could still feel the beams of many machines sweeping around him. However, the other party did not take away his sword. Either the imperial guards were very determined, but this was absolutely impossible. Or the imperial guards were highly confident and believed that an Astarte could do nothing under their noses.
Soshiyan thinks it should be the latter.
Through the huge arch, Soshiyang truly stepped into the Forbidden Palace, which is the most sensitive area of ​​the empire.
As soon as he entered here, he saw a towering building from afar, which looked like a trapezoidal pyramid. The exterior walls mostly showed gold and black colors, highlighting a kind of majesty and tranquility.
