At this moment, the swordsmanship master from the Azure Sky Imperial Family, who is lying on the ground, quietly calls out to the captain.
"Captain! Hurry up and help us break free from this spider silk!"
The captain carefully glanced at the distance, then tiptoed over and began cutting the spider silk little by little with a small knife he was carrying.
"These spider silk are so strong!"
The captain himself is not lacking in strength, but the spider silk contained Fighting Aura, which made him exert a lot of force in each cut.
"Master, do you have any good strategies? Or any unique, powerful techniques?"
The captain asked while cutting the spider silk.
"I do not possess any unique, powerful techniques but I have a teleportation scroll. If you can free me, I can bring us out of here!"
The swordsman master said.
"Teleportation scroll!"
Instantly, the captain’s Fighting Aura surged and the knife felt easier to use than before.
"Very well, my Giant Beast brethren, you are not enjoying the day of slavery, are you? The taste of being forced to fight, doesn’t that make you feel disgusted? Do you hate those who sit high above and watch you fight, even to your deaths? Yes, I can feel the hatred within your contracts. Then now, these people can no longer control your freedom! Your chance for revenge has arrived!"
The Giant Beasts have simple minds; they tend to instinctively submit to other giant beasts, rather than those deceitful and sneaky creatures. So when the contract was transferred to Isrile, almost every beast felt unprecedented freedom. Revenge was the only thing these beasts had in mind.
The people who previously held the contracts were easily torn apart by the angry giant beasts. Then, the beasts charged right to the airship.
At this moment, when those giant beasts that didn’t seem so huge high in the sky suddenly appeared on the edge of the airship, everyone was utterly shocked. A single giant beast is certainly nothing to be trifled with, even more so when there are five hundred of them!
The Giant Beasts saw the people who once enslaved them trembling and praying to unknown beings.
The beasts began to smash open the airship’s armor with their strength, reducing the giant airship into ruins in no time.
However, Isrile stopped the Giant Beasts from causing further destruction.
In the meantime, the captain had finally managed to sever the last strand of spider silk, and the swordsmanship master had taken out the teleportation scroll.
Yet, Isrile suddenly appeared in front of the captain in human form.
"You’re too slow, captain, I thought you’d be faster!" Isrile said with a chuckle.
The swordsman master didn’t even get the chance to open the scroll.
"If you’re leaving, I won’t see you off. Honorable swordsmanship master, but remember to prepare the ransom for next time!" Isrile clapped her hands, and the unconscious young man and woman who were lying on the ground appeared in her hands. The swordsman’s face turned pale as he gritted his teeth and opened the scroll.
"Oh, and remember to tell everyone in this plane that my Isrile’s Giant Beast Empire is established. Any interested Giant Beasts are welcome to join us. Similarly, anyone interested in attacking us is also welcome to come forward and commit suicide!"
Isrile’s words echoed as the swordsman disappeared.
Meanwhile, the captain was dumbfounded to find that he was still in the same spot.
"Okay, dear captain, next, let’s discuss the fate of a traitor."
The captain immediately knelt down.
"Queen Ma’am! I have parents and children to take care of! Please spare me! It was a momentary lapse in judgment!"
"Hmm, this ’Queen Ma’am’ sounds really nice. Call me by that a few more times!"
"Queen Ma’am! Queen Ma’am!! Queen Ma’am!!!"
"Ah!"
With a scream, Ruosha woke up.
"To dream that dumbass had become a queen, truly disgusting."
Ruosha shook her little head, took a deep breath, and then opened the window.
Above the huge ruins, there was only one solitary building. A group of strong warriors kneeled on the outskirts.
"Queen Your Highness!"
The group of warriors roared, making a sound like steel clashing.
"Get lost! You are too weak! I don’t need your allegiance!"
Ruosha screamed.
"You have already defeated our Emperor, from that moment on, you are the queen of our Nightmare Knight Order! We will crush all enemies for your sake!"
A voice roared.
Ruosha was rather helpless, she walked over, looking at the creature that, even kneeling before her, still towered twice her height.
"Stand up."
"Yes, your Majesty, the Queen!"
The giant stood up, looking quite majestic. Its body was entirely made of metal, beneath the hefty armor was a delicate mechanical structure, powered by special magic, fearing nothing, feeling no pain, only bringing destruction to all enemies.
Ruosha couldn’t help but recall when she first arrived in this world.
As she stepped out of the teleportation gate, before her was a desolate white world. Ruined walls laying in every direction, the sun shone brightly above, and no plants could be seen around. Fortunately, everyone who was associated with Long Yi had a similar habit— filling up their private spaces with food and drinks. Ruosha’s private space was quite spacious, save for some clothing and tents, almost everything was food and water, it turned out to be quite useful.
After several days of journeying through the barren wilderness, half by flying, half by walking, Ruosha finally encountered people for the first time.
They were five explorers, having come to treasure hunt, they were lost, their food and water resources exhausted. Ruosha thought she could acquire some information from them, so she gave them some food and water.
The explorers then told Ruosha that they were searching for the Nightmare Knights.
That was the first time Ruosha heard about the so-called Nightmare Knights.
Thousands of years ago, in the upper plane, there was a master who loved studying mechanics, and he studied golem technology from the Giants for a long time. He felt that the Giants did not maximize the use of golems in warfare and merely used them to maintain equipment and build houses and roads. This waste of golem technology was why he decided to build his own golem legion. So, he quietly came to the middle-plane where no one knew him, supported an empire, and with the empire’s resources, built an army of a million golems!
Perhaps these golems were not as advanced or as versatile as the Giants’ golems, but they knew how to kill! And most importantly, they were virtually indestructible!
No matter how you destroy their parts, they could repair themselves!
What puzzled everyone was that the empire suddenly disappeared from history. There was no record in any plane of how the empire disappeared, and the Nightmare legion also vanished. Some people suspected that the Giants, unable to bear their technology being used in weaponry, took action. Otherwise, it would be impossible to erase the empire’s traces so thoroughly. However, others dismissed this view, as the Giants had never violated others before, let alone obliterate an empire.
The explorers hailed from a family that had extensive ties with the ancient lost empire. They accidentally discovered that this planet might conceal the secret of the Nightmare Knights, so they decided to try their luck. But they failed to locate the Nightmare Knights and nearly lost their lives instead.
Ruosha had no interest in the Nightmare Knights, but she felt she needed to rely on these people to leave, so she decided to join them. Unknowingly, it was either luck or coincidence, but they actually found it!
Along the way, Ruosha helped them fight off monsters and dismantle traps. Finally, they went into the depths of the underground. There, an endless number of Nightmare Knights were coiled up, waiting to be awakened!
One of the five explorers eagerly took out a large device, which looked very ancient and clearly had been around for a long time.
With this device, he awakened all the Nightmare Knights. When all the Nightmare Knights hailed him as their Emperor, his confidence went through the roof!
"I will crush everything! Sweep across the entire plane and establish an immortal hegemony! Ruosha, you will have the honor of being one of my concubines!"
In an instant, Ruosha got goosebumps.
"Young man, let’s not be disgusting, okay? Half an hour ago, you were calling me big sister, but now that a bunch of metal called you Emperor, you really feel like you’re Emperor?"
"Impudent, how dare you speak to your Emperor like that! Nightmare Knights, seize her!" The smug emperor ordered.
That was essentially the last thing the Emperor said — of course, not counting the scream before he died.
After Ruosha ultimately shattered the Emperor and nearly ten thousand Nightmare Knights with one terrifying blow, everything was rewritten.
Having lost their Emperor, the Nightmare Knights regarded Ruosha as their Queen, swearing loyalty to her. But Ruosha had no interest in these warriors who could topple anything in their path. Despite their capability to regroup after being shattered and rejuvenate their dented armor and broken gears, something seemed lacking.
"I said, big black one, what do I have to do for you guys to leave me alone? You guys are too weak, and I really don’t want to be your Queen, if Isrile found out, it would be embarrassing." Ruosha said helplessly.
"The command of our creation is to obey. We don’t think independently, we don’t need to think."
The giant black one said.
"Okay, then, I’ll leave here, can you not follow me?" Ruosha asked.
"No, we must follow the queen!"
"Ah! How annoying!"
Ruosha didn’t know what else to do, in fact, she had already shattered these so-called Nightmare Knights many times, but the next morning they were able to regroup and appear as if nothing had happened.
She must be a bit stupid, if Brother Long was here, he would definitely have a solution, right?
"Right, do you know how to leave here? For instance, a teleportation gate?" Ruosha asked.
"There are no teleportation gates on this planet, but because this planet has been transformed, if you want to go anywhere, you can teleport there directly."
