We have failed, it is time to leave this continent...
Although his tone was filled with reluctance, the Leader of the Resistance Army could no longer think of any other way; this was the only solution to the current situation.
But an accident happened right at this moment.
"It's bad! Enemies are attacking, and our army has been killed!"
A figure rushed in from outside the door. The Leader of the Resistance Army frowned but didn't say anything. After all, they were already preparing to flee, so why was there still an enemy attacking now?
"Who is it? The remnants of the Imperial Army? Or the Northern Country's army?"
The only ones who could have the opportunity to sneak attack the resistance at this time were the Empire and the Northern Country; other forces simply did not have the guts.
However, the subordinate's answer was somewhat unexpected.
"It's not the Empire, nor the Northern Country..."
"It's a super-sized Danger Beast! None of us are its match! We are all about to die!"
The war with the Empire had ended; the Northern Country's army had completely crushed the Empire with an overwhelming posture. The resistance hadn't even had time to join the battlefield before seeing the end of the battle, and they dared not come to support at all.
Cerydra leaped down from the head of the Desolate Flute and landed directly on the heart of the supreme imperial arms.
"I have already avoided the fatal position, and I specifically dealt a penetrating wound targeting living organisms... It should be over now, right?"
In Cerydra's perception, the life force inside the supreme imperial arms was fading rapidly, like a candle in the wind, and it could be completely extinguished at any moment.
That represented the Little Emperor's life; the previous attack did not cause too much damage to the supreme imperial arms, but instead poured entirely into the Little Emperor's body.
As an ordinary and young human, although the Little Emperor had a supreme status, he did not have the corresponding physical strength and certainly could not survive.
Therefore, Cerydra gave him a quick end, allowing the Little Emperor to meet the end of his life in a daze...
"And next, it's time to obtain the spoils of war!"
The Empire's supreme imperial arms, even after a thousand years, still looked brand new. It was unknown what method was used to preserve it, or whether this imperial arms had the ability to self-clean?
Regardless, with the death of the Little Emperor himself, the First Emperor's bloodline was completely severed, and it would be impossible for anyone else to use the supreme imperial arms in the future...
Except for Cerydra!
The Authority of Law was a bug; Cerydra had already used the "Equivalent Exchange" ability to trade for many useful things, and the restrictions of the supreme imperial arms could naturally be solved using the Authority of Law.
When the time comes, if she hands this imperial arms over to someone worthy of trust, the Northern Country can flourish!
Cerydra simply opened the cockpit of the supreme imperial arms and began to deal with this great weapon.
As for the other side, she was not worried at all, after all, her other body Hysilens and the Dux Frigium Esdeath were not to be trifled with, and there was no one in the world who could deal with them yet.
Cerydra was very relieved to let them handle the rest.
—
And the truth was just as Cerydra had thought; Hysilens soon took over the entire Imperial Capital with her people, and the garrison in the city didn't put up any resistance at all and surrendered directly.
After all, such a powerful supreme imperial arms had already fallen to the ground, so how could these soldiers possibly still fight?
They only got that much money a month, why risk their lives?
The Empire was already gone. I have an 8-year-old mother above and an 80-year-old child below; it's impossible to be buried with the Empire, right? Who would support my family then? Cao Cao?
Then how could I dare to die!
It was precisely because the soldiers under their command held this attitude that the transfer of power within the Empire proceeded very smoothly, and no one dared to stand up and oppose it at this critical juncture.
At the same time, things were proceeding just as smoothly on Esdeath's side.
