"My? Friend?"
The words of the mortals made Soshiyang very puzzled. Did he not bring anyone when he entered the palace?
But Fanzhe did not explain this, but waved his fingers, and the sword that fell to the ground immediately returned to Soshiyang's hand. Before he could speak, his body suddenly fell. The moment he tightened his legs, his whole body had already landed on the ground.
He looked around and found himself standing on a tree-lined path surrounded by shrubs and flower beds, but not a single servant.
"here it is..."
When he raised his head, he saw a pitch-black tower standing in front of him, as if only five or six hundred meters away from him, and this tower seemed to be the command center of the imperial guards, the overlord's tower...
Just as he was about to ask someone, he heard a sharp whistle, followed by a group of weapons-carried imperial guards emerged from all directions, and even Terminator. Several anti-gravity motorcycles flew over the sky, and all the imperial guards' weapons were activated.
In an instant, he was surrounded by hundreds of imperial guards. Soshiyang quickly raised his right hand and wanted to signal that he had no weapons. However, he noticed that he was still holding a sword in his hand...
With a click, all the imperial guards raised their weapons, including those powerful Achilles Terminators, and they also activated their weapons. This type of armor was the first time that Soshiyan witnessed it with his own eyes. It is rumored that the protective performance of this armor is even enough to ensure that its wearer can survive within the killing radius of orbital bombing. It can be said that it combines the most advanced technology that the empire can obtain. Even the literal value is far from enough to describe the preciousness of these armors, but few people see the true appearance.
Unexpectedly, when I first saw it, it was such an occasion. Soshiyang was really amused and crying.
"No, don't get me wrong, I... I just got lost..."
He quickly retracted the weapon back into the sheath and explained:
"I was walking with Company Commander Valerian before, but when I passed by that...the woodland, I suddenly became a problem and separated from him."
The imperial guards did not speak, but just surrounded Soshiyang.
Just as Soshiyan didn't know what to do and the two sides were in a stalemate, a voice that seemed a little helpless came from a distance.
"Ahhh, Commander of Soshiyang, you really swelled our faces."
Then, a hole was opened by the imperial guards' encirclement, and Valerian walked over, holding his helmet and looking "I'm convinced".
"You are the first person to arrive here without anyone discovering it. The rules of the entire blood game will be changed because of you, and I have to put me in a state of dereliction of duty."
"Uh...sorry, but then..."
"I know, you are not blamed for this matter, but our responsibility requires us not to accept any 'accident' and no explanation for any dereliction of duty."
As he said that, Valerian sighed softly.
"I don't have the right to continue asking, please explain to Marshal Tulajan in person."
Then the imperial guards dispersed, Varelian turned around, and Soshiyan followed.
"Sorry, Company Commander Valerian, I didn't expect it to cause you such a big trouble."
Hearing Soshiyan's words behind him, Varelian just replied lightly:
"Apologies are meaningless in this place. All they have is responsibility. We are born to prevent all accidents. 'I didn't expect' is a reason that it is impossible to be accepted. It has nothing to do with you."
"Aren't you curious about how I got here?"
"This is not my duty to ask, and none of our language and thoughts should go beyond the boundaries."
"You are still curious."
"Ah, you're right, but I can control this curiosity because I know that's not something I should ask about, and restraining is our instinct."
Soon, the team arrived at the exterior wall of the Overlord Tower, where Soshiyan was scanned by various instruments again, and then passed through the exterior wall to the courtyard outside the tower, or rather a small city, with many outbuildings and a large number of servants in black robes, and very special is that their belts were covered with pale skulls, just like cultists.
Seeing Soshiyan's strange eyes, Valerian explained in a rare way:
"The servants of the Overlord Tower were all hereditary, and they developed the tradition of carrying the skulls of their ancestors on their bodies after the Great Rebellion."
"I see..."
Looking at the imperial guard headquarters up close, Soshiyan couldn't help but be shocked by its grandeur, but soon he noticed that one of the annexed towers was a bit special. Although it was also black, it was a black that would not reflect and had a strong crystalline feeling.
Soshiyan has seen such a material in one place, which is called Blackstone Fortress.
The Imperial Guard’s Overlord Tower also uses black stone materials?
In other words, the Empire's research on blackstone materials began very early, but it was not common in 41 thousand years.
Making the secret about the Overlord Tower in his mind, Soshyan followed Varelian into the mysterious imperial guard headquarters, but after he entered, he was taken to an elevator guarded by two Terminators.
"Marson Trajan hopes to meet you alone."
Soshiyan didn't ask much, and walked directly into the open elevator door and then went up.
More than ten seconds later, when the elevator door opened, Soshiyang entered a passage. The walls and ground here were covered with slight cracks due to the years, but the surface was still smooth, and the light source in the passage came from the faint illumination balls on the wall and reflected the glimmer of Soshiyang's armor.
After walking about fifty steps, Soshiyan walked through an open arch and entered an ancient hall.
This place is like a training hall, in a standard circle, with various weapons hanging on the walls around it, and four lines are drawn in the center, and the sunlight passes through the huge flower windows and shines in the middle of the hall, illuminating a figure there.
His back was facing Soshiyang, just a little shorter than him, and his hands were crossed, as if he was looking at the things in the hand of the little angel floating in front of him.
When Soshiyang walked in, the little angel immediately flew towards the arch, and his figure turned around.
This man, also wearing a black cloak, his helmet was taller and grander than other imperial guards, and his armor was more exquisite and gorgeous than the shield company commander like Valerian. His golden shell was decorated with the heralds of thunder and lightning. It is said that this was the oldest symbol of the imperial guards. There was a shield badge on his right shoulder, which was carved with the head of an eagle, and was decorated with dark gray feathers. There was also an iron halo in the shape of a double-headed eagle behind his head.
