Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 74 Breaking into the Imperial City
The Imperial City of Destiny.

It cannot be said to be very majestic, but it is extremely luxurious.

Unlike the princess's mansion which was glittering with gold because of Natasha's dragon aesthetic, the inner palace of the imperial city where the Emperor of Heaven lived was truly magnificent.

The Princess's Palace is all gold-plated, and that color is enough, but the Imperial Palace is actually made of pure gold for the pillars and jade for the bricks, exhausting the empire's wealth to bring the most ultimate enjoyment to the Emperor of Heaven.

When the imperial palace was first renovated, it was so labor-intensive and costly that it was an understatement. It was truly a palace built at the cost of the sacrifices of countless people.

Because of the Emperor Tianming's extortion and forced labor, millions of laborers died and civilians lost their homes in just one year.

Even with the national strength of the Tianming Empire, this was a serious injury, but all this was just because His Majesty the Emperor wanted to expand the palace.

The most ironic thing is that when the construction in the Tianming Imperial City was at its most intensive, more people in the Tianming Empire died from labor and poverty that year than those who died at the hands of the demons.

The Emperor of Heaven's Mandate is not a demon, but he is more murderous than the demons. Even the demons with an overwhelming desire for destruction will sometimes give their enemies a quick death. What's more, it has been heard that there are demons who are unwilling to kill.

Even among the demons there are good demons, but the Emperor of Heaven is a complete devil.

Lin En had no psychological burden in killing such a human emperor. Even if he calculated it now, he could be considered half of his father-in-law.

"Who are you? Stop!"

As they approached the imperial city step by step, the guard at the gate was certainly not blind and he immediately noticed Lin En walking towards them.

"The area ahead is the Imperial City's restricted area. Anyone who trespasses will be killed!"

Seeing that Lin En did not stop after being questioned and had no intention of revealing his identity, the guards immediately gave him a stern warning.

Because of the character of the Emperor of Heaven, no one, no matter whether they are nobles or high-ranking officials, can possess such a pass. Unless summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, anyone attempting to enter the Imperial City is committing a serious crime.

"He... He's Lin En! The person the Grand Steward told us to pay attention to! Go in and report! Quick!"

When Lin En came closer, the sharp-eyed guards had already seen his face and were immediately frightened by the newcomer.

The legendary high-level saint, the person the Grand Steward specifically instructed them to inform promptly, actually came!

"Run faster and let him count down to his own death."

Lin En walked all the way to the foot of the imperial city, and no one dared to attack him. Even the most diligent guards knew that their lives were more important than food and wages.

What a joke, my monthly salary is only a few silver coins, and you want me to stop a high-level saint?

Bah! If the imperial city couldn't provide food and wages, who would want to protect the emperor?
So, when Lin En broke into the imperial city, the outermost guards did not offer any resistance except closing the city gates.

They just stared blankly at Lin En as he kicked the heavy steel city gate and rushed in. No one dared to raise their weapons to him.

The timid ones don't even dare to hold their weapons too tightly, for fear of causing a small misunderstanding that could cost them their lives.

"Lynn broke in!"

Only after Lin En, who had forced his way in, walked away did the guards outside the imperial city begin to throw away their armor and weapons, howling like ghosts and wolves, as if they were crushed by some army.

……

……

As Lin En went deeper, he finally encountered some sparse resistance.

The Emperor of Heaven is rich and powerful, and there are always people with delusions who are willing to work for him.

Then they really sold their lives, but it's a pity that a person can only sell it once.

"If you don't want to die, move aside. If you want to die, come here!" Lin En deliberately rushed into the crowd with a crude iron sword he had just bought on the road. He was afraid of getting his weapons dirty, even if they were spare weapons or collections.

What true god's bloodline? It's so dirty that I don't want to get even a drop of it on me.

With Lin En's level of suppression, even if he only used a level 10 blank iron sword, he could still cut down a large number of people in one blow when facing the so-called Royal Guards.

He didn't even use any skills, just the basic swordsmanship that a level 7 warrior could learn, and no guard could block his sword.

As for defense, don't joke about it. If they can break his defense, he will tear off the level 800 armor he wears under the knight appearance!
"laugh……"

"laugh……"

"Clang."

The sounds of blood spurting and weapons falling to the ground continued one after another. Lin En rushed straight forward in the crowd without stopping at all.

Because they were not facing demons, but people who assisted the evil, Lin En did not let them die too miserably, and usually gave them a quick death.

It’s just because they are numerous and weak, so Lin En’s sword usually kills a large number of them, and among them there are inevitably some unlucky ones who are cut in half or have their hands and feet chopped off.

The flying flesh and blood and the rain of blood in the sky made Lin En frown. Although he had tried his best not to see them as human beings in his mind, but as NPCs or monsters that were spawned, the real hacking and killing still made him feel uncomfortable.

Everyone has a kind heart and a disgusting heart, but Lin En only has a kind heart because he feels disgusting now.

It turns out that the blood is not harmonized to green, which is so uncomfortable. I didn’t feel much when I killed the necromancer in the underground lair before, because there are not many of them, not as dense as the army, and they can’t create the feeling of a river of blood.

The most important thing is that the former Necromancer was originally a humanoid monster in the game. Lin En had killed them many times and was already good at killing them. But these guards in front of him now... were the first time he created a hell of flesh and blood.

But Lin En would not have any mercy on them. From the moment they chose to work for the Emperor of Heaven, none of them was wronged.

……

"Captain Stern! Send an expert to stop him! His Majesty needs time to move!"

The palace steward who arrived in time was a feminine middle-aged man, and if nothing unexpected happened, he was a eunuch. However, he had great power in the palace, and even the commander of the Royal Guard had to obey his orders.

"Whoever we send won't die. Even if I go in person, can we last three minutes or five minutes?"

Legion Commander Stern blew his gray beard high and complained angrily.

Which little genius thought of offending a high-ranking Saint? Didn't they know that the strongest among these Royal Guards were less than level 650?

Not to mention that many people were unwilling to risk their lives for the emperor, even if their entire legion was united, they might not be able to withstand the assault of a high-level saint.

There is a very good reason why their level is one level higher than the senior saints below level 700 and above level 600.

If three or five senior saints could join forces, they might be able to fight against a single high-level saint. However, His Majesty the Emperor has sent the country's top strongmen abroad to fight on the battlefield, and has also forced a considerable number of them away. Where can we get a few senior saints at this time?

The major wealthy families in the Tianming Empire can easily put together such a lineup, but who will take the initiative to stand up and protect the emperor at this time?

I'm afraid many of them are hoping for the death of this generation's Emperor of Heaven...

There is no way around it. These are the benefits that have been divided among the royal family and the powerful throughout the ages, but the emperor of this generation gave the least and took the most.

Not only did the common people want him dead, even among the nobles, except for a few of his confidants, they all wanted a new emperor.

"If you're capable, go ahead and do it yourself. My wife is calling me home for dinner."

The strongest man in the imperial city, Commander Stern, waved his hand at the chief steward of the imperial palace, and left without saying anything.

With his strength, he is not afraid of the emperor's revenge. Who among his subordinates can kill him? The worst that can happen is that he will flee to another country. It is really not worth it to risk his life for such an emperor to fight against an unbeatable opponent!
