-----------
In the Royal Tombs Mountains, the Astra Militarum was still a guard army stationed at the tomb. From the era of Kai to the present, the legacy of the Astra Militarum has been passed down from generation to generation.
But a hundred years had passed, and the present Astra Militarum was not what it used to be. Quantitatively, there were only 3,000 people. One part was the descendants of the oldest guardsmen of the Astra Militarum and currently, Astra Militarum was not the first army of the Imperium.
The Astra Militarum was like a silent guardian, not many people in the world even knew about it. In the eyes of the world, the so-called Guardian Army was a bunch of old and weak people who were not capable and muddling through.
When Elizabeth arrived there, she discovered that the facts were pretty much the same. In the Astra Militarum, there was absolutely nothing refined about each of them. Even for Elizabeth, the princess, it was also superficial.
One by one, each looking for a different place. They were drinking alcohol and were lying flat on their backs. For most of the people here, guarding the mausoleum was a job of waiting for death.
"Greetings, Your Highness." A black-faced man pointed at Elizabeth and said a little respectfully.
But on the face, a hint of impatience appeared. A princess like you wouldn't stay out of a good place like the palace, why did you come to this place?
Elizabeth looked at the small token around the black-faced man's neck and asked, "Are you a descendant of the Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum?"
"Yes." The black-faced man pulled out the command token from his neck and sneered, "Back then, when my grandfather handed this thing to me, they even said that there was a battle between ancestors and gods. According to them, it's a reward from the gods."
"Haha-! If it's really from the gods, will their descendants be so miserable now?" The black-faced man didn't believe the legend about the token at all.
"Among the generals, how many of them have such tokens?" Elizabeth asked.
"This..." The black-faced man thought for a moment and said, "There are probably nearly two thousand people, it's ridiculous, all are the victims of this token. Princess, don't blame me for being disrespectful."
"This token…" With a cold smile on his face, the black-faced man said, "It should have been something that Emperor Kai rewarded the Astra Militarum in the first place. I don't know who it was that made it like that, but what else to say?"
"The reason why the royal mausoleum was here was because the gates to the divine heavens are here and the souls of the Astra Militarum and the ancestors guarded this gate here. I was stupid back then too, I believed that."
"But it's fine now. After more than 30 years, I'm still in this damn place. I'm too old, but it doesn't matter. I can't even get transferred." After saying that, he was surprised to discover that there was also a token on Elizabeth's neck.
It was just that this token and his token seemed a little different. The black-faced man's token was all black, while the one on Elizabeth's neck was white.
"Princess, how come you also have…?" The black-faced man was a little surprised and puzzled.
"That legend is not fake," Elizabeth briefly said and then walked towards the direction of the royal tomb.
Leaving the black-faced man with a surprised face, Elizabeth's white token was given by Sebastian. These tokens were the secret left by Sebastian back then.
At the end of the Grand Competition, Sebastian used the deduction system. According to the deduction, one hundred years later, Greater Terra will give birth to a once-in-a-millennium scientific genius. However due to Sebastian's interference with the Imperium's development, this possibility decreased.
Therefore, Sebastian no longer intervened. Instead, he left such a backhand.
Seeing Elizabeth walking towards the left of the royal tomb, the black-faced man froze for a moment. Immediately following, he said, "Princess, you want to…"
"I'd like to go in and take a look," Elizabeth said.
The black-faced man didn't stop her but just said, "Princess, this gate can't be opened."
The royal tomb was divided into two parts: left and right. On the left were the tombs of Hayden, Kai, and Bruno and there was a huge stone door outside. On top of the stone door, there was a keyhole, and there was no way to open this stone door.
Elizabeth did not speak, instead, she picked up the white token in her hand.
"Princess." The black-faced man advised again, "We've tried all the tokens of everyone here, but none of them opened it!"
"That's your token and it is not the key." Elizabeth walked up to the front of this huge stone door.
There was a trace of curiosity and eagerness in her eyes, she placed the white token in the keyhole. After that, only a slight click could be heard and the huge stone door suddenly moved slowly. Naturally, Sebastian had Bruno set up this keyhole back then for this very day.
Seeing the huge stone gate that no one had been able to open for a hundred years, the black-faced man was stunned. He was completely dumbfounded.
When the huge stone door was completely opened, Elizabeth glanced inside the black hole but didn't walk in. She was smart, it was clear that the mausoleum was sealed for a hundred years, so nobody could go in that easily.
"General Cross." Elizabeth turned her head to look at the black-faced man and said, "Please help me call all the Guardsmen together."
Only then did the black-faced man wake up from his shock and hurriedly respond, "Yes."
Immediately after saying this, he turned around and walked quickly. His heart was still in disbelief but there was a trace of faint excitement. Being able to serve as a general, the black-faced man was not stupid. Those legends and stories once again circled in his mind when he saw this amazing scene, he was waiting only to find out that Elizabeth did not reveal the white token.
But with that previous scene, the black-faced man was no longer a fool. Instead, he obediently accepted each order of Elizabeth. In his free time, he desperately read all kinds of books to figure out what exactly happened that year.
Seeing this, Sebastian couldn't help but nod slightly. Now, it was still not time to reveal the truth. Only before the conquest, only then did he inform the Astra Militarum of the specific actions. It was not a good thing for many people to know about that.
Not to mention before Sebastian restarted the passage, there was still some time left. He had grasped the leader as the General, and Elizabeth's next job was much easier.
At Elizabeth's request, some of the equipment of the Astra Militarum was turned over for use again. In the past, this was a temporary base for planetary conquest. With a large variety of instruments and equipment, the latter decreased from generation to generation.
By now they were in the warehouse to eat dust, the General was not just surprised and bewildered by Elizabeth anymore after reading several books overnight, there was also a hint of respect in his eyes. Naturally, he did not dare to disobey Elizabeth's order in the slightest.
Soon, Elizabeth simply set up a laboratory with the help of many Guardsmen. This laboratory was not used for mathematical or physical research, instead, it was used to make firearms and gunpowder.
Before Elizabeth came to the Royal Tomb Mountains, by Sebastian's mention, it was very clear in her mind that Max couldn't fall within a few years. If she really wanted to get rid of this marriage, it was necessary to control a certain amount of force.
"But I don't know much about firearms." Looking at the rusted equipment, a trace of distress flashed in Elizabeth's eyes.
She was not the same as Kai, Elizabeth was not an all-rounder; she was just good in the field of chemistry.
"I should go and find a scientist who understands this." After thinking about it for a long time, Elizabeth had an idea in mind.
***
No one paid attention to anything that happened in the Royal Tomb Mountains, the current force's main focus was on the newly rising masters, such as Abel and Vale. Of course, at that time, the largest force was still Max, who controlled the capital.
The Capital, beneath the calm surface, seemed that the undercurrent was surging too. Naturally, it was impossible not to know the importance of scientists such as Abel and Vale by Max.
If we were to say that in the world now, where were the most scientists? They were not in Vale's Southwest nor were they in Stenger's east of the Mighty Canal region. Much less Fujimori's southeastern region.
Instead, in the prison of the capital punishment department, the 3 institutes were judged to be plotting against each other at that time, so almost all of the scientists were imprisoned. Although some escaped from before, most of them were still caught.
In the heyday of the era of Kai, there were tens of thousands of scientists. Even if they didn't get much attention, later on, the number of scientists was more than 10,000 until the three institutes were closed.
Inside the prison, thousands of scientists were locked up. Of course, many of them died after several years. On this day, a team of guardsmen came to the prison. They had the token of Max, saying that they came to pick people up.
How dare the guards stop them? Max was now covering the capital with one hand and he was even recognized as the most powerful party in the whole world. The jailer hurriedly invited the group of Guardsmen inside with a flattering smile.
"Take me to the place where the scientists of the three institutes are being held," the tall general at the head of the group shouted coldly.
"This way, this way." The jailer bowed and hurriedly led the way in front.
Inwardly, he couldn't help but curse. Was Max also interested in scientists? It was well known that even though Abel, Vale, Stenger, and other forces were competing for scientist resources, Max did not take it seriously.
He also claimed that only bows and arrows were the right way to go, while all firearms and cannons were useless. The only team of scientists assembled by Max was researching Sound-absorbing arrows.
That's right, rumor had it that in the era of Kai and Bruno, there was a very powerful bow and arrow. But the Sound-absorbing arrows needed vibranium.
It was rumored outside that vibranium was stored in the palace treasury but after Max took charge of the capital, he immediately sent people to search the palace treasury and there was no such thing as vibranium.
Between times, everyone doubted whether this magical metal exists?
