Chapter 292: Bringing Troops into the Palace
Outside the dwarf palace, the prince had already gathered about 20,000 elite soldiers with the help of the talisman given to him by Xiao Zhang, and quietly lurked in the streets and alleys. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The prince stood on the top of a house, looking at the palace walls, according to Xiao Zhang's suggestion before, the prince led the troops into the palace under the banner of King Qin's escort, so the prince had to wait for the queen's movements.
As soon as there is movement in the palace, it must be the queen who has begun to move, and at that time, the prince will immediately rush into the palace and fight the queen's army.
At this moment, it was less than half an hour before the time came, after all, the prince was leading troops for the first time, and he was going to participate in such a major battle for power, of course the prince would be a little excited, only to see him pacing back and forth quickly on the roof, looking at the palace wall with some anxiety from time to time.
After another quarter of an hour, the spies sent into the palace to spy on the information had not yet replied, and the prince finally lost his breath, and he even feared that the spies he had sent had been killed by the queen's forces.
At this thought, the prince finally couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately gave the order, and then led the army to the palace gate.
When the guards at the palace gate saw the prince's army coming, they immediately asked in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" ”
Previously, Xiao Zhang had already reminded the prince that the dwarf king had taken back the command of the guards from Lu Feng, so the prince only needed to show the token of the dwarf king, and the guards would naturally open the palace gate under the order.
A soldier beside the prince immediately shouted at the guards: "Are you blind? This is His Royal Highness the Prince, the king will be in danger tonight, the prince led his troops to the king of Qin's escort, you can't afford to delay the big event, why don't you open the palace gate quickly!"
After hearing this, the guards suddenly laughed: "It's just nonsense! There are many guards in the palace, how can the king be in danger? I think you are the biggest danger to the king!"
The soldier was furious and was about to scold, but was stopped by the prince with a wave of his hand.
Then, I saw the prince slowly take out something and flash it at the guard. It was a small and delicate golden short knife, exuding a soft golden halo in the dark night.
This is the gnome king's golden sword talisman. The dwarf king had already handed it over to Xiao Zhang and asked Xiao Zhang to bring troops to protect his safety, but Xiao Zhang took it upon himself to hand it over to the prince.
The prince held the short knife in both hands and said, "This is the golden sword talisman that my father gave me, and ordered me to bring troops to King Qin's escort tonight, so you should open the palace gate, right?"
It stands to reason that the janissary guard should have opened the palace door to welcome the prince into the palace with all his fear, but he laughed even louder, with disdain in his laughter.
"Your Highness, forgive me for not being able to obey my orders. The guard smiled, "Your golden sword talisman is obviously fake, and you will never be fooled, Your Highness should go back to the house to rest early." ”
Hearing this, the prince immediately raised his eyebrows. However, he was not angry, but because he heard something strange from the Praetorian Guard's words.
First of all, the golden sword talisman held by the prince was a genuine token of the dwarf king, and it was impossible for the guards not to recognize it.
And more importantly, if the guards found that someone had led an army to the palace gate, they could convict him of treason on the spot, regardless of the reason. At this moment, the janissary not only did not condemn the prince, but persuaded the prince to go back and rest early.
This is a little weird, could it be that this Praetorian Guard is new here? I don't know the token of the Gnome King, and I don't understand the duties of the Praetorian Guard?
The prince was silent, and suddenly at a certain moment, the prince suddenly realized a very serious problem, that is, these palace guards should not be real guards at all!
So, who could these Praetorian guards be? The prince's heart suddenly tightened, and he could already conclude that these people should be the queen's men!
It seems that the queen had already acted in advance, eliminated all the palace guards, and then sent her own men to guard the palace gates, in order to prevent the army of the dwarf king from entering the palace.
If this is the case, then it is very likely that the queen's army is already lurking in the palace, and it is only necessary to strike at the moment when the dwarf king begins to baptize.
Unconsciously, the prince was already in a cold sweat, he was secretly glad, fortunately he couldn't hold his breath just now and took the initiative to act in advance, otherwise, if he only waited for the palace to come from the palace before acting, it would not only be delayed, but also be blocked by these fake guards when entering the palace.
Tonight's action will be a complete failure!
Thinking of this, the prince did not hesitate, rose to his feet at great speed, jumped on the tower of the palace gate, and choked the neck of the guard, who glared and collapsed silently.
The other twenty or so guards were taken aback and immediately wanted to fight back, but suddenly felt a cold breath pass through their necks, and the twenty heads suddenly rolled down weakly.
Then, twenty dwarf soldiers slowly appeared, they were elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and they were more than enough to deal with twenty janissaries, not to mention that these were still twenty fake janissaries.
In just an instant, the prince solved the guards at the palace gate, but since the queen intended to prevent the army of the dwarf king from entering the palace, there must be a backhand.
Sure enough, after hearing a few screams, I saw that the twenty soldiers seemed to have been slashed by countless sharp blades, countless wounds appeared on their bodies, blood gushed out, and then, their bodies shattered into countless pieces, scattered, flesh and internal organs scattered all over the ground.
This is the effect of the countless powerful prohibitions on the palace wall, these prohibitions can break the dwarf hidden arts, no matter how the dwarf people hide, they cannot pass through these prohibitions in their whole body.
Fortunately, the prince had a short sword talisman to protect himself, so he was not harmed. However, this problem was in front of him, and the 20,000 troops he led could not enter the palace.
The prince was a little annoyed by this, because he just wanted to deal with these guards as soon as possible, and rushed into the palace, but forgot that there were still prohibitions on the palace walls.
Only then did he remember that when Xiao Zhang handed him the short knife talisman before, he also passed him a set of formulas, just use his skills to control the short knife, and at the same time recite that set of mantras, the ban can be lifted.
Time was pressing, and the queen could attack the dwarf king at any time, but the prince did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately harnessed the short knife and recited the mantra.
I saw that the halo on the golden short knife suddenly burst out, dazzling and dazzling, making people dare not look at it directly. In a moment, the golden light quickly swept all the palace walls in front of the palace gate, and the huge palace gate slowly opened.
At the same time, the prince shouted: "Pass my order, enter the palace!"
Suddenly, 20,000 troops entered from the palace gate and went straight to the dwarf king's bedroom, the prince stood on the palace wall, glanced at the direction of the queen's palace from afar, and then turned his eyes to the direction of the dwarf king's bedroom, the expression on his face was cold and solemn.
