"Me? Friend?"
Mortal's words puzzled Soshyan. He didn't bring anyone with him when he entered the palace?
But Mortal did not explain this, he just waved his fingers, and the sword that fell on the ground immediately returned to Soshyan's hand. Before he could speak, his body suddenly fell, and he tensed The moment his legs lifted, his whole body had already landed.
He looked around and found that he was standing on a tree-lined path, surrounded by shrubs and flower beds, but there was no servant.
"Here is"
When he raised his head, he saw a dark tower standing in front of him, which seemed to be only five or six hundred meters away from him, and this tower seemed to be the headquarters of the Forbidden Army, the Tower of Overlord
Just getting ready Looking for someone to ask, he heard a sharp whistle, then rapid footsteps, followed by a group of Forbidden Soldiers with weapons emerging from all directions, and even Terminators, and several anti-gravity motorcycles flew past the sky. , and all Custodes weapons are active.
In an instant, he was surrounded by hundreds of forbidden troops. Soshyan quickly raised his right hand to show that he had no weapon, but he noticed that he was still holding a sword in his hand.
With a click, all the Forbidden Forces raised their weapons, including the powerful Achilles Terminators who also activated their weapons. This was the first time Soshyan had seen this type of armor with his own eyes. It was rumored that this type of armor had protective properties. It is even strong enough to ensure that its wearer can still survive within the killing radius of orbital bombardment. 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 these armors. It is very precious, but few people see its true appearance.
I didn’t expect that the first time I saw him would be like this. Soshiyang was really dumbfounded.
"No, don't get me wrong, I just got lost."
He quickly put the weapon back into its sheath, and then explained:
"I was traveling with Captain Valyrian before, but Something suddenly happened when we were passing through that woodland and I was separated from him.”
The Imperial Guards didn’t speak, they just surrounded Soshyan.
Just when Soshyan didn't know what to do and the two sides were in a stalemate, a helpless voice came from afar.
"Ah, Chapter Master Soshyan, you really swollen our faces."
Then, a hole was opened in the encirclement of the Forbidden Army, and Valerian came over, holding his helmet An expression of "I'm convinced" on his face.
“You are the first person to arrive here without anyone noticing. The rules of the entire blood game have to be changed because of you, and I have to be put in a state of dereliction of duty. "
"Well, I'm sorry, but at the time"
"I know, I don't blame you for this, but our responsibilities require that we cannot accept any 'accidents', nor will we accept them. Any explanation for failure of duty.”
As he spoke, Valyrian sighed.
"I am not qualified to continue asking. You can explain it to Marshal Trajan in person."
Then the imperial soldiers dispersed, and Valerian turned around. Soshyan followed immediately.
"I'm sorry, Captain Valyrian, I didn't expect to cause you such a big trouble."
Hearing Soshyan's words behind him, Valyrian just replied lightly. ：
"Apologies are meaningless in this place. They are just responsibilities. We are born to prevent all accidents from happening. 'I didn't expect' is an impossible reason to accept. It has nothing to do with you." "Aren't you curious about how I got here? Here?"
"This is not my duty to ask. Our words and thoughts should not exceed the boundaries."
"Your heart. Still curious."
"Ah, you are right, but I can control this curiosity, because I know that it is not something I should interfere with. Restraint is our instinct."

Soon, the team arrived at the outer wall of the Tower of Overlord, where Soshyan was once again scanned by various instruments, and then passed through the outer wall to the courtyard outside the tower, or rather a courtyard. A small city with many ancillary buildings and a large number of servants wearing black robes, and what is very special is that their belts are covered with pale skulls, just like cultists.
Seeing Soshyan's strange eyes, Valyrian gave a rare explanation:
"The servants of the Tower of Overlord are hereditary. They developed generals after the Great Rebellion. The tradition of carrying the skulls of ancestors on the body."
"That's it."
Looking at this forbidden army headquarters up close, Soshyan couldn't help being shocked by its grandeur, but he soon noticed it. An annexed tower is a bit special. Although it is also black, it is a non-reflective black and has a strong crystal feel.
Soshyan had seen such a material in a place called Blackstone Fortress.
The Tower of Overlord of the Forbidden Army also uses black stone materials?
In other words, the empire's research on black stone materials began very early, but it was not common in the 41st millennium.
Speculating about the secrets of the Tower of Overlord, Soshyan followed Valyrian into this mysterious Forbidden Army headquarters. However, once he entered, before he could observe more, he was taken to a place consisting of two terminals. In front of the elevator guarded by a police officer.
"Marshal Trajan wishes to meet with you alone."
Soshyan didn't ask any questions, walked directly into the open elevator door, and then went all the way up.
Ten seconds later, when the elevator door opened, Soshyan entered a passage. The walls and floor here were covered with tiny cracks due to time, but the surface was still smooth, and the light source in the passage Then came the weak lighting balls on the wall and the glimmer of light reflected from Soshyan's armor.
After walking about fifty steps, Soshyan passed through an open arch and entered an ancient hall.
This place is like a training hall, in the shape of a standard circle, with various weapons hanging on the surrounding walls. Four lines are drawn around the center, and the sunlight passes through the huge flower windows. It was cast in the middle of the hall, illuminating a figure there.
He turned his back to Soshyan, who was only slightly shorter than him. He folded his hands on his chest and seemed to be looking at the things in the hands of the little angel floating in front of him.
When Soshyan walked in, the little angel immediately took off and flew towards the arch, and the figure turned around.
This man also wears a black cloak. His helmet is taller and more magnificent than that of other Custodes, and his armor is more sophisticated and gorgeous than that of a Shield Captain like Valyrian. The golden shell is decorated with The heraldry of thunder and lightning is said to be the oldest symbol of the Forbidden Army. There is a coat of arms on the right shoulder, with an eagle's head carved on it and decorated with dark gray feathers. There is also a double-headed eagle on the back of the head. iron halo.
The two stared at each other a hundred meters apart, and then the Forbidden Army raised his hand and slowly took off his helmet.
