I left with a heavy feeling. It's hard to describe it. It is difficult when those whom you at best disliked, and sometimes simply hated, ask you for help. They ask so that either you agree and help, no matter how disgusting it may be, or you strike and finish off the wounded enemy with pleasure. My desires demanded to strike in order to break this bastard's back. Just because she... didn't love me? Why should she love me? That question stopped me, that question made me change my behavior, not put her away, but give her hope. Running my hand over her head, I corrected something, just a little, just a little. I slightly reduced the likelihood of irreparable mental damage and suppressed the feelings that prompted suicide. Despair and fear leading to unbearable apathy. I was disgusted, but I did it for her. Maybe,Did you find yours? Inchival chewed a large piece of bread with a thick layer of ham as he walked. He handed the second one to me. - What? I'm hungry! Can you imagine the last t

The sphere burst, and we collapsed down. Before the collision, it seemed to me, Inch managed to create something like an air cushion, and we did not have to die. At least until the shooters finish us off.– Ushkarvaalahasimurgalluzul!The sound wave scattered the soldiers running towards us. I was just trying to get on all fours, and he was already throwing spells with might and main. Silana, I hope he didn't kill anyone! Sebastina is also on her feet, she seems to have beaten bullets with knives ...- Stop!Augustus Kroeder, Lord Executor, gazed down at us from the balcony. Already an old man, of medium height, but with such broad shoulders that, probably, in the Navy it was difficult for him to rush along the cramped corridors. However, this did not stop him from rising to the rank of admiral of the heavenly fleet. After the resignation, the Emperor personally transferred the title of Lord Executor to the old man, and with it the power over the three "Tyrants".They stopped firing.

The detachment went through three skirmishes with the rebels, the fights were short and ended with our victories. Once we had to concentrate our forces to a flaming battle center, we covered the nest of four hundred opponents who were preparing for sabotage attacks in the rear of the main forces of the royalists. Nobody left alive. The series of easy and quick victories was interrupted by the outpost at the Galanite Crossing, where the enemy was able to seriously dig in, build barricades and set up the Maskilla. To drive soldiers there would be sheer madness, because without the support of artillery, such an assault would have resulted in irreparable losses, and that is far from a fact. I set out to use the power of the Tyrants for the first time when the situation changed radically.The enemy fired, shouts were heard. All my people were in hiding, waiting for orders, which Virze immediately reported to me. From a protected position, I and several other officers could watch how someon

Having got out to the railway bridge, I expected to find trenches and soldiers well prepared for the defense of this crossing, but I did not find anything. Only a small detachment from the capital's garrison, which guards the bridge especially for us.- What's the matter? Why can't I see fortifications? I asked the senior officer.– Order of the Emperor, tan colonel, all forces loyal to the crown are obliged to withdraw to the KGM, no defensive battles, no strongholds!- What does it mean? And the loading station is empty too?! The prince flared up again.“Order of the Emperor…” the officer mumbled with white lips.Why did I storm him?The heir to the throne smashed his fist into the nearest wall, and it shattered in a cascade of brick fragments.“We must obey. We are crossing! Get together! Ahead we will have a short break and a hot meal!Having got out to Kemperton, I no longer felt the constant proximity of the enemy. The rebels, like a wary animal, stopped at the waters of the can

Gantsaros remained himself, ruthless and purposeful, the one who steps over the corpses, grinding them into mincemeat, and opens fire on any moving target. I see his receding back and a plume of hot steam, white as milk in this cold and bitter night. And I have no doubt that the royalists have put an end to it. For some time, the new weapon will show its power, and the number of victims will exceed tens of thousands, total extermination. Then the time limit will be released, and the surviving prisoners will appear. Mesquia's new weapons will prove to all countries of the world that their armies are outdated. We will remind you again how powerful we are. And we will make them remember how ruthless we can be to our own people. What will we do with them if they dare to anger us?“Truly… The Emperor is prudent and ruthless as always… Now I understand why the threat of rebellion did not frighten him. Moon, have mercy on us.I looked at the creator of these new war machines and felt his del

We moved through the streets of the ancient city, expecting danger from every shadow. And there are many, many shadows! Tower, castle, palace or temple, whatever it was, the building seemed incredibly majestic and hung over us the closer we got. We soon approached the first crater.“The impact came at an angle of twenty-five degrees, demolished two houses, left a furrow, and went out right here.- What could hit like that? Spell? The stone is melted.The Emperor did it.- What?!- I saw something like that. Traces of destruction. Huge. And this sand under our feet - it is everywhere - not sand. It is the ashes of hundreds of thousands of living beings whose bodies have decayed over the past ages. This is Meskiah, thanes and gentlemen.“You mean the same city, el'Moria?”“The city that gave the name to our empire. The city that became the first letter in the new history. The Emperor came here and swept from south to north like a hurricane, demonstrating the power of his Voices. He dest

He sighed heavily and sadly.“Listen, boy, I will go against my rules and extend my hand to you one more time. You have come a long way, you were able to find me and you were not afraid to come here, taking only a maid. This is worthy of encouragement. I extend my hand to you again and say, join me! The next morning will be the first morning of the new age! And this century will belong to me! On the ruins of old Mescia, I will build the palaces of a new empire, and, what the hell is not joking, you will sit on its throne!"Are you offering me the imperial crown?"“That little thing doesn't matter, my boy. I offer you the whole world!- Interesting.- You deserve it! Believe me, I know that in all this rotten aristocracy there will never be as much grandeur and dignity as there is in one of your fingers! Help me today, and tomorrow your path to the top of the world will begin! This is not the ravings of a madman and not a sweet lie, this is my promise to you! Get close and...- No.- W

It ended abruptly. The Tashshars simply crushed the Asmoderians in bulk, crushed them and deprived them of their heads. After that, the bodies of the invincible guardsmen literally evaporated. The armor was empty and scattered in many segments, swords fell to the floor. The crazy spree is over. It seems that one of the survivors addressed me. Some kind of lups with a crazy muzzle. Simon was saying something, but I didn't hear them. I was snapped out of my stupor by the sight of Arren el'Calyps writhing on the floor. Raising my saber as I ran, I struck with all my might at his arm, chopping it off at the elbow. Noble silver blood spattered, and the severed forearm literally in a few moments turned into a piece of fetid meat exuding poisonous pus.- Bandage him! Calculate the personnel, provide assistance to the wounded, if any! Don't touch the dead! Rest… I… Perform!Sebastina was already seated next to Incival.- Is he alive?- Yes, master. But it is very difficult for him, as far as

The tashshar's horseback ride turned out to be a surprisingly convenient and fast way to get around. Skinny looking and very hard to the touch, these furry monsters have long, strong legs. They rushed at great speed, made long jumps and easily maneuvered in the stream of evil spirits flowing through the streets. Smaller monsters did not stick to the tashshars, they had an order to get out and add new oil to the subdued fire of terror, and they breathed it, they breathed the will of their master! Every few seconds I looked up and peered into the darkness above our heads, expecting that the ceiling of the cave, invisible to me, would crack from a hail of artillery shells and multi-ton slabs would bury us under them! We broke out of the city and began to break through the tunnels filled with evil spirits, up into the predawn winter night, and hope even began to arise in me, that we will have time to get out when the whole world went crazy at once and a grandiose roar knocked us down!

“You were right, cousin. As always.“See the skinny shadows walking in front of the front door?- The enemy was spotted in the amount of fifteen combat units.“These are Asmoderians, immortal creatures from the Darkness. They are very fast and strong, and they also have weapons that destroy any armor, stone, metal, wood.“My task is to attack and distract while you get inside.– There may be more, and even your car does not guarantee you victory.“I fight to fight, not to win, cousin.Chapadeau rushed across the square turned into a battlefield, took out the front gate with a kick and opened fire. The Asmoderians scattered like frightened water striders, but they weren't frightened!- Now!Sebastina made a dizzying leap and ran forward. The shooting stopped, a huge iron fist grabbed me and threw me forward like some kind of ball, and the maid caught me!- Run, cousin!The last thing I saw before I ran into the palace hall was the figure of a steel giant, plastered with skinny black bo
