Chapter 187 044. Facing death with equanimity
As time went by, the technology of Azure Star continued to decline, and the governors became more and more ordinary. They picked up prosthetic technology again, replaced themselves with titanium alloy skeletons and carbon fiber lungs, trying to prolong their lives, but it was useless. The governors were replaced by the eldest son of Gamos from generation to generation, and the position was always inherited by the eldest son of Gamos.
Grand Duke Gamos gradually stopped being intimate with the children. At first, he would put his hand on the governor's shoulder, and then he sat aside with his hands behind his back, and then he stopped going out. Just like his expression, his physical condition was getting worse and worse. He became visibly hunched and decayed, his muscles began to atrophy, and his eyes were extremely turbid.
Three hundred years, so many people and things have changed, only Grand Duke Gamos has been lingering, and behind his sons, he has been controlling the country. Later, he even stopped asking about government affairs and began to turn to the Frost Platers to nod and flatter, and more and more Frost Platers were on his body.
His immortal life, like that of a god-emperor, was earned with the blood and sweat of the people of Gurant and the common people of Gurant.
Alexia came to the last gate. The guards of the Grand Duke retreated behind the gate, ready to make their final struggle here.
"It is here, the Palace of the Flame King." Amanda said, "The ancient kings discussed government affairs here and led the country to prosperity. Gamos destroyed all of this, including the fair deeds of the wise kings, and became a mouthpiece for his arbitrary rule."
There was much resentment in her words. The people of Gurant had endured for 300 years. During this period, no matter how they fought and struggled, they could not get the treatment they deserved. The economy was in decline, and they had no industrial system of their own. Everything they had worked hard to earn was exploited by the outsiders, the Frost-plated people.
This era should end.
"You go and take control of the palace."
"What do you mean, Ms. Alexia--"
"I can deal with the enemies here by myself." Alexia said calmly and calmly: "It is better to eliminate the danger in Surut Palace than to waste troops here. To be honest-in front of the Gamma Order, you are just sending yourself to die in vain."
Amanda was speechless. She saw Alexia's ability and could easily kill two Rule III spies who seemed impossible to her without even breathing.
Moreover, Ms. Alexia was indeed a very sincere person. Although she expressed her meaning so frankly, it was a bit hurtful, but Amanda and others looked at each other for a while and had to give up.
It's not that they couldn't feel the murderous aura coming from the Flame King Palace. That power seemed to be able to directly arouse the fear of natural enemies deep in their genes, coupled with a certain kind of throbbing in their hearts. Some people trembled unconsciously just standing outside the door.
In addition, not long ago, Bermudez tried to assassinate the Archduke through an airborne raid, and the team was wiped out, including many Alpha-class warriors, who claimed that they were not stronger than those death squads.
If you say you are not afraid, that must be a lie.
Alexia gave them a step down, and several Alpha-class assassination teams subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It has come to this point. Although everyone is not afraid of death, when facing the Gamma-class, it comes from physiological discomfort, which cannot be overcome by human will and psychology.
Bermudez's warriors felt a little ashamed. They felt weak and frail, and they did not dare to look up at Alexia for a while.
"Please be careful." Amanda said kindly, she did not want her men to die in vain.
Although Alexia helped them a lot, she was an outsider after all. Everyone felt that outsiders were different from compatriots.
Too many people from the Gurante clan had already sacrificed their lives in the fight against the Grand Duke, and many of them had lost their wives and children, and their families were destroyed. She really couldn't bear to watch her team members die, especially in such a meaningless place.
"Don't worry."
Alexia picked up the intercom and signaled that Li Oz would act with her.
Amanda was relieved and dispersed with her Alpha-class warriors to eliminate the enemies in the Surut Palace.
When Amanda's figure had disappeared, Alexia still did not activate the communicator to call Li Oz.
According to the plan, she should have contacted Li Oz to work together.
But she could feel that there was an extremely terrifying power behind this door. Even in the old days of the Amilyoko Federation, such an aura was above all things and the top of the food chain, which made the entire Amilyoko Federation feel difficult.
That feeling, just a little bit of it would make her tremble and shudder, and the closer she was to that level, the more Alexia knew the horror of that existence.
‘…This battle has nothing to do with you. I admire you, Alek——Allysi.’
Li Oz’s words echoed in her ears.
Alexia’s eyes moved, and she murmured in a low voice:
“This is not unrelated to me, Oz.”
Although the handsome groom was very kind and looked very powerful, he still did not have the ability to step into this battle.
It is better to say that once he entered this realm, he would be directly overwhelmed by the life level of the Grand Duke.
As a person close to this level, Alexia knew too well how terrifying the level called ‘Gamma Stage’ was. Even this planet could not restrain and tolerate such an existence.
Li Ozi, and even these Alpha level players, did not have the strength to fight against the enemy.
‘Although I can’t defeat him, there is no problem in dying together. ’
In this world, the once beautiful things have disappeared, but there is also hope. People can't see the sun, but they still yearn for happiness and light, and there are idealists fighting for it.
She has also seen the scene five hundred years in the future and recognized the future groom - a young beauty with an upright appearance and extraordinary charm.
Five hundred years ago, the leaders and scientists of Amglioko told themselves, ‘Alexia, you are so good that no one in this era is worthy of you. ’
They left behind a selection mechanism called "Huang Dujuan Blood Pact", which was a complex set of questions, including ideological realm, political stance, intelligence test, psychological personality, etc., in an attempt to select the most suitable person to be with her. A 'Bride from the Past' pairing.
As for the purpose - there is no purpose, but the Federation feels that every citizen should have the most suitable partner, so that they can live happily and harmoniously, and society will become more stable.
Unfortunately, five hundred years later, compared to him, Alexia felt that she was no longer worthy of him.
If you say that you are too young, your actual age is too old, and you have outdated ideas, you are far from being youthful and beautiful; if you say that you are too old and your mind is not mature enough, you cannot be a wife who can shoulder the burden of the family. .
Alexia's mentality was very calm.
Her motherland has been buried in the long river of history, and her heart has died with the country. It is just harsh words such as oppression and injustice that have rekindled her faith and anger, making Alexia determined to Five hundred years later, in bad times, the fight continues.
She witnessed how Grand Duke Gamos, who was also a ghost from the old era, became depressed and became extremely numb - and Alexia also knew very well that she was not far from the Gamma level.
It just so happened that if she turned into a zombie like that and lived in pain, Alexia would still prefer to follow her motherland and exit this era, leaving everything to the people of today.
As long as, next, I use my last life to pass on the spirit of Amelioko. No, it is not the spirit of Amiglioko, but the unyielding desire for a new world that is engraved in people's bones.
She put down the communicator and did not choose to call Li Ozi.
‘Sorry, Li Ozi, you should find a better, more beautiful, and more suitable bride for this era. ’
Alexia raised her head, put her hand on the door, and slowly pushed it open.
"Up."
squeak——
The door slowly opened, and the six Beta-level Grand Duke guards immediately raised their heads and launched a surprise attack towards her.
