In the Name of Empress-Chapter 344 - 234: Advance, Alina! (Part 3)

Alina, after all, was known for fighting for the people and freedom, and many soldiers who knew Mr. Carlo didn’t want to personally kill the only daughter of the Liberator Carlo.

Even if Alina had to die, they didn’t want to be the executioners.

In any case, let others bear the sin of killing Alina.

Among the Personal Guard, there were many who sympathized with Alina and showed restraint, but there were also those firmly standing by General Surt’s side.

Even though they were reluctant, they still fired their guns.

Their salaries were paid by the government, and their loyalty was to President Marco.

As for Alina? They could only wish her smooth passage across the Nether River, preparing for the cycle of reincarnation.

The sudden gunfire startled the soldiers on both sides.

Many new recruits from Surt’s main force instinctively fired, not even realizing that this range exceeded the design distance of ordinary firearms.

At the moment they pulled the trigger, Roland activated the Divine Protection.

[Divine Protection], activate!

With a change of his thoughts, Roland enveloped Alina in a pale golden light.

Her beauty was already ranked in the top ten of the Magic Mirror Female Chart; now, covered in a sacred golden glow and taking twenty bullets without a scratch, the soldiers were dumbfounded.

Is this still a human? This is simply a miracle.

The soldiers who had just started shooting were even more terrified.

"Soldiers, if you want to kill the Saint of Vengeance who is leading you to freedom and victory, then continue to shoot."

"The Saint of Vengeance has returned from the Netherworld on flames to lead you in the advance to Xidai. Lay down your weapons and come to me; this is your last chance."

Alina’s voice was magnetic and exceptionally pleasant to hear.

After taking dozens of bullets just now, many soldiers began to doubt their lives.

Not only were the soldiers dumbfounded, but even Surt was stunned.

Are Transcendents this powerful? He had interacted with some Transcendents before, and their displayed abilities couldn’t compare to Alina’s at all.

Could he have made a mistake again?

With peripheral vision, seeing the golden light on Alina gradually dim, Surt gritted his teeth, preparing to take a risk.

This golden light was Alina’s Protective Talisman.

Since the light was dimming, the mysterious power protecting her should be fading.

"Personal Guard, continue the volley!"

With Surt’s command, the personal guards unhesitatingly continued their shooting. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But this time, the effect was far less, achieving the performance of snake oil by raising the muzzle a little.

The second round only nineteen bullets hit Alina, and her previously dim golden light suddenly became as dazzling as sunlight.

Her speech was still continuing.

Surt’s face was difficult to look at, resembling a corpse.

In the instant he made eye contact with Alina, he understood her meaning.

"Fool, the dimming gold light was just an act."

Surt was completely rigid, having difficulty breathing.

He saw countless gun barrels aimed at him.

Obviously, these soldiers had been shocked by Alina’s god-like performance.

They decided to abandon darkness for light.

Surt was their token of allegiance to Roland.

He knew he was doomed; he was not a Transcendent capable of using his body to withstand bullets.

Just as the movie of his life played briefly in Surt’s mind, the gunfire rang out.

At least five hundred angry soldiers chose to act, and although they were lacking in aim, they had a lot of guns.

Surt was not a Transcendent; he died.

When his body fell heavily, the light he saw gradually disappeared.

This damned beautiful world no longer had anything to do with him.
