August 12, half past six in the morning

The fourth day of the Midsummer Festival is the most boiling time, not to mention that the usually unattainable princes and princesses will come into contact with anyone face-to-face, just the fact that all kinds of original "forbidden places" can be open to all people for free is a news worth celebrating, after all, such a high-end place as a racecourse ordinary people can't try it even if they have money, people, always like to satisfy personal curiosity

"You have to cheer up," Sarah sat on the bench with her legs crossed, "This is a royal mission, if you can successfully complete it, you can expect to be able to upgrade with full marks"

"Don't stress it, it's the same" Jusis straightened his suits, they all had to go out in casual clothes today, "After all, it's Her Royal Highness Princess Elphine who needs to be guarded"

"Didn't you see the commission requirements clearly? The ten of you are to be divided into five groups to be responsible for the five locations that the convoy will pass through," Sara Nu said, "I'll tell you about the distribution, you guys listen well"

"Macchias and Eliot go to the Imperial Opera House, where you know each other better"

"Emma and Faye go to Our Lady Park, you guys won't attract attention"

"Laura and Gaius go to the Imperial Capital Racecourse, you don't care about horses that you see big things from a young age, do you?"

"Alyssa and Jusses go to Heimdall's Great Sanctuary, you will not attract suspicion among the nobles"

"Then Rien and you follow Princess Elfin's convoy," Sarah pointed at the distance, assigning the strongest combat force to go, "It seems that they are in the same car, if this is the case, you will have an affair"

(Impossible/absolutely impossible) Lai and Chong said silently in their hearts at the same time

"So don't you go out of the instructor?" Macchias was surprised

"We're in charge of garrisoning along the way, and today the entire Tolz Military Academy will be dispatched, and I'm going to protect the president of the Ryan Forte Society, which is Alyssa's mother," Sha stretched her full curve, "It's just that you're more ahead of you, no, except for these two"

"Stay safe, little ones"

"Yes!"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of the fleet

Although the Imperial Capital's guards were ready as planned by half past seven, the main entrance of the palace would not open until twelve o'clock, so the defenders along the way had to stand and wait for the remaining four and a half hours

"Now that the empire is in the scorching heat, the other guards in military uniforms are already sweating, but Li En and Chong, who are in charge of escorting the convoy on horseback, are still standing straight, Chong has changed into a sleeveless T-shirt from the suitcase, and Li En is wearing a black jacket

"Those two are students at the Military Academy?" Duke Kane, who was sitting in the pergola erected at the scene, turned back and asked the attendant

"One is the eldest son of the Shu Huaze family, and the other one doesn't know" someone next to him immediately replied, who was the guard, they all had a list in their hands, in order to prevent anyone from mixing in the team with bad intentions, "But it seems that it is the guard personally appointed by Her Royal Highness Princess Elfin"

"Heh, has that innocent princess also germinated a girl's heart" Duke Kane really can't see anything special about Chong, and he doesn't know where he came from, and Elfin's aesthetics are also a bit problematic

“？” Chongshun looked at the past, what did the uncle who looked like an incompetent nobleman want to do? With such contempt in his eyes, aren't you afraid that I will give a gift before I leave Semuria?

“？” Rien glanced at where Chong's gaze was

"Duke Kane, one of the four famous families, we will also be responsible for guarding his safety at that time," Li reminded him

At first glance, you know that you will be targeted

Four hours later

The main entrance of the palace was pushed open at twelve o'clock, and the already somewhat tired guards were already ready to stand in battle as soon as they heard the sound, and the military discipline was good

Immediately next to the "mount" someone brought two good horses

Chong really hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and the last time he was in Abion, he couldn't enjoy anything because he was on a long journey, he just waved his whip indifferently

And Lien, whose legs were numb, took several strides before he narrowly sat down

"Stop" casually pulled the reins of the horse to stop Riene's good horse, which seemed a little restless

"Thank you," Lane thanked

"Go", the man who handed the horse over, patted the horse's buttocks, and let them stand in front of the convoy

Although the work of the team leader looks glamorous, in fact, their role is to be used as a target and to step on landmines, which is not that he deliberately thinks badly, but that it is the way it is

Seeing that Li En and Chong had already ridden to the front of the convoy, the vehicle carrying the royal family also slowly drove out of the Delaikels Square, and immediately passed the tourists who came to visit and the people of the imperial capital who were onlookers, and turned to the Triumphal Avenue, as for the nobles' convoy, it could only set off after half past one o'clock when it walked with His Royal Highness the Emperor, who was somewhat lacking in health, which symbolized the distribution of status in the empire

Rose red is the symbol of the heir to the throne and the royal color, which is the car of Prince Cedric, and its target is Heimdall Cathedral, where Cedric will be responsible for worshipping with the noble leaders on behalf of the emperor, and the emperor's own car will be parked in an unknown place

"Mr. Gino, take care of me," Cedric whispered in the seat

"Hold up, you are the future ruler of the Empire," he said indifferently, "rest assured, since I have accepted the commission, I will do my duty, and I will wait until you are done and safe before returning to Mayor Crossbell."

"Yes"

(I did feel familiar last night, but I hope it was just a tourist,) he thought, then nodded and said hello to Ellie, who was waving at the side of the driveway

Grass green is the foil color, and in the car sits the uninherited Prince Olivet, who aims for the Imperial Capital Racecourse, where the famous "dissolute prince" will perform lean equestrian tricks in public to everyone

"Be careful yourself," Mura reminded as she sat next to Olivet

"Hello lovely beauties~" And Olivet turned a deaf ear, and he was the only one who opened the car window directly to show his head

Mulla could only sigh in his heart, he might be the only one who could play with his life

Pure white is the symbol of the empire, and sitting in it is Princess Elphin, who is known for her innocence and liveliness, and she is a little reserved compared to the other chariots accompanied by cavalry, and her goal is Notre-Dame Park, and she does not get out of the car and is only in charge of walking around there

"Elyse, look, it's fun out there," Elfin blinked as she leaned against the bulletproof window, her guards unlike the others

"Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess" Elyse, who was only a companion in the academy, was a little reserved, and it was precisely because of this that Alfin did not have a cavalry team with him

"It's okay, aren't we good friends?" Elfin chuckled, "Look, your brother is at the front of the convoy, do you want me to open the window for you to see?" ”

"No need," Elysée turned the parasol in her hand a little shyly, "It is already a great honor to be able to let me, who is only a baron in the family, accompany you, and I really dare not ask for anything else."

"Really, Elyse has to be bold sometimes," Alfin thought she was bored, and continued to lean on the window and look at the crowd on all sides

"When the convoy was about to divert from Triumph Avenue, Chong already felt wrong, not because of the convoy, but because of it

"Phew!" That's right, the horses he and Lane rode belonged to the Imperial Cavalry, and those were supposed to be the best horses in a hundred, but Chong realized that something was wrong after riding for a distance, but a few hundred meters away, the horse's nose was already panting, and these were clearly other horses that had been replaced or ridden

"Clamp the horse's belly and pull the reins up hard," Chong reminded Li En next to him in a low voice

“？” Lane was also a regular horseback rider, and although he didn't understand why he would make such a gesture that would make the horse weak, he did it immediately out of trust

"The horses are scattered!" At this time, the person in charge of commanding the horse team shouted, and the next road was to be replaced by the guards for the sake of smoothness

"Driving" Li En and Chong shouted at the same time, and almost lifted the horse to the side of the road

"Give me the reins of the horses," Chong reached out to grab the reins from Rien as the convoy passed by them

The dagger stretched out from the cuff, and Chongyi stabbed it deep into the horse's neck with all his strength, and the war horse struggled frantically because of the pain in his crotch, but Chong's hands had already strangled the horse's neck with the reins, so in the eyes of others, it seemed that at most, it was only a few kicks of the horse's hooves

"Boom!" By the time the convoy had passed, the horses had fallen lifelessly, and Lai and Chong jumped off their horses just before they hit the ground so that they didn't fall to the ground

"Warcraft" doesn't need to be explained at all, and after seeing that the dead horse did not bleed but gradually turned into a red mist and disappeared, he already understood that "someone replaced the good horse that was originally going to be used with a Warcraft"

"If you don't stop, I'm afraid I'll turn around and attack the convoy," Chong waved his hand and motioned to the guards on the side of the road to hide the surprised eyes of the people, and they did so with understanding

"Where are we going next?" said Riene, grimacing

The strange sound of the flute in the "Park of Our Lady" gradually came from the ground, the red light was in full bloom, the low roar came and went, the surface gradually cracked under the influence of man, and someone would knock down the crimson hammer for the imperial capital

-- And there are some people who will hold up a shield that will never fall for the imperial capital
