Chapter 1726: Chapter 1724: The Second One (Evolutionary Ben Cat Fears Nothing!)

Originally, according to the plan, after surrounding the Royal Palace, the Noble Council was supposed to surrender, however...

"These guys still intend to resist? They should know what will happen next, right?"

Gazing at the Royal Palace in the distance, the General frowned and muttered quietly. At this point, what are those nobles still thinking? Both fortresses have already been suppressed, and nearly all of Albion’s forces have been completely defeated or surrendered, with only a few hundred people left in this Royal Palace...but speaking of which...

"It’s kind of ironic."

"Ironic?"

Hearing Red Ponytail’s remark, the General curiously turned to her.

"What do you mean by this, Divine Envoy?"

"Originally, the Noble Faction and Albion’s Imperial Family were like this, the King’s City had only a few hundred people, while outside there was Albion’s fifty thousand noble army. Prince of Wales and the Emperor chose to die in battle, but now... haha, it’s quite a turnaround."

"King’s City..."

Upon hearing this, the General’s face slightly changed. He was certainly aware of the final fate of Albion’s Imperial Family. To avoid humiliation, the Emperor and Crown Prince had detonated the King’s City, which is now a Great Hollow. Could it be that these guys intend to do it again in this Royal Palace?

"Immediately deploy ground forces, suppress the Royal Palace! Dispatch Mages to search for possibly hidden and buried bombs or similar Magic Artifacts!"

At this point, the General did not hesitate anymore. He originally intended to give the Noble Council some dignity, but now such thoughts had long been thrown aside. Although he believed those nobles wouldn’t have such guts... who could guess what they are thinking?

Soon, the ground forces descended and entered the Royal Palace. From afar, smoke and explosions could occasionally be seen, obviously the opposing side was stubbornly defending the Royal Palace, while the descending forces had begun engaging with them.

However, soon... bad news arrived.

"The occupying force was repelled?"

"Yes, Master! The opposing side has extremely terrifying Magic Puppets, very large and quite powerful! We are simply no match for them!"

"How could this happen...! Damn it, previously there was no mention of Albion possessing such things?"

Although it is possible to bombard directly from the air, this would destroy the entire Royal Palace. Occupying the Royal Palace and arresting members of the Noble Faction is essential, not out of noble arrogance, but as a necessary act by the occupying force. After all, before the battle began, Princess Henrietta had already informed them that if it was a typical invasion, it would easily arouse anger and dissatisfaction among Albion’s citizens.

However now, if Tolisstin is under the banner of avenging Albion’s Imperial Family, the resistance would be much less, and in fact, Albion’s Imperial Family and Tolisstin’s Royal Family originally had ancestral ties. Prince of Wales and Princess Henrietta are first cousins, and because of this, the relations between Albion and Tolisstin were always good before the Noble Faction came to power.

Now, if Tolisstin wants Albion’s people to accept its rule, the best way is to capture and overthrow the rebellious Noble Council members, and publicly judge and execute them.

This is a necessary political measure, although from a military perspective it holds no significance, politically it has considerable impact.

"Magic Puppets?"

Upon hearing this, Red Ponytail narrowed her eyes.

"Interesting, I’ll take a look."

After saying this, the next moment a flash of light occurred, and Red Ponytail disappeared in front of everyone. Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Divine Envoy is willing to go personally, it should be fine then...

When Red Ponytail arrived at the Royal Palace, she happened to see the retreating occupying forces, and the enormous pitch-black figure pressing them hard.

"Oh oh oh, this thing is interesting."

Looking at the steel giant before her, Red Ponytail couldn’t help but exclaim. The Magic Puppet here is slightly smaller than a Gundam, made of metal, but unlike the boxy Gundam, it looks more like a cylinder. There are five Magic Puppets here, they guarded the road to the palace, raising their hands to unleash attacks similar to howitzers towards the occupying forces.

Although the occupying forces also had Mages using Fireballs to retaliate, those Magic Puppets were completely unaffected, and because of this, the occupying forces could no longer advance here. With the restrictive space of the Royal Palace and giant Magic Puppets blocking the way, it naturally became the situation of one man defending against ten thousand.

"Indeed, only in the Magic World does seeing such things feel more agreeable."

Looking at the Magic Puppets before her, Red Ponytail stroked her chin. Honestly, in a world dominated by magic, the appearance of humanoid puppets seems normal, as magic itself is very idealistic, using humans as samples also makes sense. Seeing a Magic Puppet is not too surprising.

But in the Mech World, seeing such things is just idiotic, it makes one doubt whether the designers have studied aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, material mechanics... The Magicland lacking this knowledge is fine, but for the Sci-Fi World to play this, do they want Galileo, Newton, and Einstein to crawl out of their graves and strangle them?

Just like that Mech Hunter that appeared in the Monster World before, and those Gundams, and Sakuradite Mechas... it’s completely disrespecting the thousands-year-long evolutionary history of human civilization, okay!

VF is Fang Zheng’s final compromise; if anyone dared to bring up a giant robot, Fang Zheng would definitely spray it in their face.

Such things passing approval and going into mass production must have involved paying money!

"Leave this to me."

Thinking this, Red Ponytail also quickly withdrew her thoughts, then she waved and picked up her Greatsword, heading toward the battlefield.

"Alright, leave this to me. You all fall back!"

"It’s the Divine Envoy, the Divine Envoy is here!"

Seeing the appearance of Red Ponytail, the soldiers who were barely breathing under the suppression of the Magic Puppets were overjoyed. Without hesitation, they chose to retreat immediately, while Red Ponytail swiftly swung the greatsword in her hand and charged toward the Magic Puppets.

Upon seeing Red Ponytail’s entrance, those Magic Puppets immediately turned their cannons and launched a bombardment in her direction.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

For a moment, the place was covered in fire, enveloping Red Ponytail, which made the soldiers worry instantly. They widened their eyes, clenched their fists, and watched the smoke-filled battlefield, however.......

"This level of attack doesn’t even tickle!"

The next moment, a completely unharmed Red Ponytail leaped out from the smoke. The fiery greatsword in her hand flashed, splitting the leading Magic Puppet right in half. After landing, she rolled once, swung her sword again, cutting off another Magic Puppet’s leg, and as it fell, she flipped her sword in reverse and chopped it into pieces.

In just a matter of seconds, those once boastful Magic Puppets had turned into heaps of scrap metal. Seeing this scene, the soldiers in the back cheered.

"Long live the Divine Envoy!"

"Long live the Dragon God!"

"Leave this to me. You all go catch those idiots from the Noble Council!"

"Yes!!"

After Red Ponytail gave the orders, the soldiers quickly moved forward. The last Magic Puppet seemed to sense danger and tried to escape, but......

"Do you really think I’d let you get away?"

Red Ponytail swiftly charged forward, swinging her greatsword down at the Magic Puppet. This time, the Magic Puppet swung its arms deftly, trying to block her attack, but Red Ponytail sliced it in half with a reverse swing, and with a final slash, the Magic Puppet was split in two, sending its upper body flying and exposing the pilot inside.

It was a woman dressed in a Black Robe, gritting her teeth, staring intensely at Red Ponytail.

"I never expected the legendary Gandaruu to possess such power... I was careless."

"You mean this?"

Red Ponytail waved her left hand, showing the Spell Text.

"Honestly, this thing isn’t of much use to me, but unfortunately, I have to collect them... Hmm, I can feel you have one too."

As she spoke, Red Ponytail stared at the woman’s forehead. In fact, she had already sensed it; the woman also emitted the aura of core data. On her forehead was a Rune similar to the one on Red Ponytail’s left hand.

"What do you want to do?"

"Sorry, but I need to take it."

As she spoke, Red Ponytail reached out. Seeing Red Ponytail’s action, the woman bit her lip hard.

"Don’t even think about it. It’s an agreement between him and me. I belong to him, no one can take this away!"

Saying this, the woman reached out with her right hand toward Red Ponytail, clenching tightly.

"Die with me, Gandaruu!"

With her words, blazing flames erupted from the woman’s ring, enveloping them both.

Then they vanished in an instant.

"Alas, using Fire Elemental Magic on someone immune to fire is just tragic."

Looking at the pitch-black corpse before her, Red Ponytail shrugged helplessly. The woman was indeed quite bold, but unfortunately...... she clearly made a mistake. Perhaps she thought that being Gandaruu gave her power, but in reality, it was of no use to Red Ponytail.

After all, it was only for gathering data coordinate information.

Moreover...... the woman’s death was utterly meaningless.

"Alright, done."

Clenching her greatsword, watching the flames from it returning to her body, Red Ponytail could feel another piece of core data information from the Order Coordinates appearing.

With this, only two core data points remain.

Once these last two data are collected, the first part of the core coordinate construction can be completed.
