The last soldier of the Annihilation Legion was also beaten to death by the players.
When the notification that the dungeon was completed appeared in front of every player, several players who had been working on it for three consecutive days and nights sat down on the ground.
Another group of players ran to Queen May's side.
"what are they doing?"
Queen May's lips moved. Although there was no change in her expression, from her tone it sounded... Queen May was very nervous.
These holy spirits were still shouting the slogan "For Queen May" and fighting for her in the first two hours, but in the first four hours they were shouting the same slogan and beating her up.
So now Queen May is very suspicious... maybe the Holy Spirits are planning to come and beat her up collectively after defeating the Annihilation Legion.
"Take a screenshot and take a group photo." Jiang Qiao used another voice channel to communicate with Queen May. Even if the players got closer to Queen May, they could not hear Jiang Qiao's voice.
"Ten bucks for a photo with Queen May! Only ten bucks! You can't afford to lose! You can't afford to be cheated!"
"The Queen is not yours! Get out of the way after you finish taking the photo. There are a lot of people waiting behind you."
"Why won't you let me touch the queen? I could have killed her during the previous strategy, but she won't let me touch her."
"… "
"Photo? What should I do?"
Queen May was listening to the discussions of the players around her and was very nervous. She looked around at the players who were approaching her. Queen May's left hand was lightly clenched, as if she was about to create a blood blade and enter the battle stage in the next second.
"Just smile and try to look dignified. Taking a group photo is a bit like painting an oil painting of the players and you together. Just think of it as a reward for the warriors for their battle." Jiang Qiao said.
A reward for beating you up... Jiang Qiao made a small complaint.
"painting?"
Queen May understood Jiang Qiao's explanation. She looked around... The battlefield was in a mess, full of ruins and traces of piled corpses.
"This is not a suitable background for oil paintings." Queen May said and looked at Jiang Qiao in the light ball state. Jiang Qiao did not say anything but just made a gesture of invitation. Queen May walked slowly towards the direction of the palace.
The streets of the royal city along the way were already in a mess. The civilians who had turned into zombies fell to the ground and turned into dust, leaving only the tattered clothes on their bodies.
These unconscious zombies are different from the Five Knights. They are truly dead, and even their souls no longer exist. Jiang Qiao cannot save them even if he wants to.
Queen May seemed to have figured this out, but it would take some time for her to accept the fact that her country was lost. However... judging from the current situation, her country has not yet perished.
"Is Her Majesty going to ascend the throne?"
"I guess it's time to go back to the palace and start showing the plot CGs."
"Hey, do you think it's possible for us to be crowned a knight or something?"
"Ten dollars for a photo. Only ten dollars! No cheating!"
Queen May walked along the street towards the palace with an expressionless face. It should have been a very sad thing to inspect her destroyed country.
But from time to time, a group of people wearing brown bear doll masks, rainbow unicorn masks, and pixelated heads would jump around on the street...there really wasn't any sad atmosphere at all.
Jiang Qiao could see that Queen May was trying very hard to hold back her laughter. She had been trying to maintain her dignity in front of the players, so much so that her brows were now furrowed and her expression was on the verge of collapse.
"Ms. May!"
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the street. It was the axeman... He was still in a state of fighting, and the long-handled axe in his hand was stained with dark red blood.
The moment Queen May saw her, the pain of holding back her laughter turned into surprise. However, before Queen May could step forward to greet her old friend, the players around her began to greet the Axeman.
"Why hasn't this mid-boss died yet?"
"He still has 500,000 HP."
Players from the Gray Eyes Guild and Night Rider saw the axeman who had escaped from their hands suddenly reappear, and the members of the guild suddenly began to collectively apply a wave of combat buffs.
"It seems that the number of your guards has expanded again." The executioner said with a wry smile on his face.
“My fellow warriors, please come with me to the palace to receive the rewards you deserve and my gratitude.” Upon seeing this, Queen May immediately whispered to the players who had already taken out their whetstones to increase the sharpness of their weapons. While she spoke, she also glanced at Jiang Qiao who was in the light ball state next to her.
"The Axeman is now a friendly unit. The Holy Spirits cannot harm the Axeman, provided that the Axeman does not harm the Holy Spirits."
The swordsman could also hear what Jiang Qiao said. The swordsman was also a man who followed his heart. He knew that if he went into battle with this group of holy spirits now, he would most likely be pinned to the ground and beaten.
So the executioner wisely put away his weapon and made a gesture of allegiance to Queen May.
The players spared the poor middle BOSS only after seeing that the name above the Axeman's head was green and there was no health bar.
This little episode ended quickly, and half of the 3,400 players who participated in the battle of the godhead under the guidance of Queen May happily walked into the palace of the emperor.
Queen May walked towards her throne. She wanted to sit on it, but after thinking for a while, she decided not to sit on it. Instead, she turned around and looked at all the holy spirits below.
"Take this." Jiang Qiao stuffed a glowing crystal into Queen May's hand. To the players, it looked like a dark blue fragment appeared in Queen May's hand. "Then just say something."
"No other rewards are needed?" asked Queen May. If it were the country's heyday, the Holy Spirits' actions in resisting foreign enemies could at least be rewarded with a title or something.
"The other reward is that you have to stand here for a while after you distribute the task rewards, that's all." After Jiang Qiao finished speaking, Queen May gently raised her hand, and the glowing crystal in her hand suddenly shattered, turning into thousands of rays of light that fell on the hands of each player.
This thing is the "Fragment of the Divine Power", a task prop that Jiang Qiao made by himself. After the players take it back, they can trigger the next main task.
'Congratulations! You have completed the main quest, Battle of the Godhead.'
The moment this prompt popped up in every player's sight, some players could not stand the super-intensive game for several consecutive days and logged off, while others still gathered around enthusiastically to take photos with Queen May.
The scene of thousands of people rushing forward was very... oppressive. Jiang Qiao quickly marked out an air wall area. The air wall was not big, less than half a meter away from Queen May.
But this little air wall did not affect the players' enthusiasm for taking photos...
Many players even took screenshots of themselves standing on the throne and taking pictures of Queen May beside them, as the Axeman's brows twitched in his gaze.
The throne has become a popular interactive prop for players to take photos, but only one person can sit on the throne, and the whole scene seems to have evolved into a fight for the throne.
This scene would not be out of place in any drama about the struggle for royal power, but the players sat on it for a very simple purpose... 'to make Queen May look like their good wife when taking screenshots'.
Fortunately, there were several large guilds present to maintain order, so the players did not start on-site PVP because of the battle for the throne.
This is punishable by death... The executioner sighed, but Queen May didn't seem to have any expression. Instead, she cooperated with some holy spirits to make some strange movements.
