"Poof——!

Despite his best efforts to dodge, the invisible arrow pierced his thigh, and the shaky Ruth Infinit stumbled and fell to the ground.

Even after three arrows, half of his body was already stained red with blood.

Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, the struggling leader of the Night's Watch could barely get to one knee, and he could barely get up with his tendons and leg bones pierced.

What's more, the elven warriors he had to face were not one, but two.

"Ding!"

The double-edged Azorean sword like a war bow raised horizontally, gently picking up Ruth Infinit's jaw, and the leader of the Night's Watch, forced to raise his head, met the blonde elven girl with golden eyes like a solar flare.

"Give up, Lord of the Night's Watch. The Intendent's Adjutant - Alexandra - couldn't bear to speak, "Three arrows in your body have injured your joints and organs, so you can't be with me... The number one assassin in the world will be the enemy in the future!"

"What's more, now you have no reason to continue to be our enemy. ”

"Alexandra, stop talking nonsense with him!"

Under the pillar on the side, Eugen, who had just picked up a life and had not fully recovered from the poisoning state, said viciously: "Kill this scum quickly, otherwise he will seize every opportunity and ...... by any means."

"I don't think it's right for you to say that... Master Eugen. The stubborn girl stared at the big eyes of course: "Treating enemies as friends, isn't it what righteous people like us should do?"

"What's more, as the commander-in-chief of this operation and my direct commander, the chief of the Overseer, you should ask me about the progress of the mission first, instead of just thinking about the communiqué and personal vendetta. ”

Syllable!

A slap on the face, gritting his teeth and looking ugly, Eugen squeezed out a trace of an extremely hideous "smile" at the corner of his mouth: "Good ......"

"Then please... My dear apprentice and subordinate tell me how the mission is going, and whether the defenses of the dormitory have been broken?"

"The defense has not been lifted, but ......" The blonde-haired and golden-eyed elf girl paused, and said with a very uncertain expression:

"Emperor, Eckhart II... Dead!"

The moment the words fell, Rut Infinit's expression changed drastically!

Even Eugen on the other side was stunned.

"Y-What did you say?!"

"I say, the Emperor... Dead. ”

Even if she repeated it a second time, the elf girl's expression was still very hesitant, and her eyes flickered: "I—I don't understand what happened, but when I tried to break through the defense, an arrow somehow pierced through the gate of the dormitory. ”

"In the middle... The Emperor's Heart!"

The hall overflowing with ice vapor was suddenly silent.

"Just... So?" Eugen frowned, "The emperor is dead?"

"Hmm!" the elven girl nodded vigorously: "In addition to the emperor, there is also a night watchman who was here before, but he escaped"

"You can't be mistaken... That corpse is the Emperor himself!"

Eugen still couldn't believe it.

Indeed, for this assassination, the entire Imperial Court and even the four court warriors were almost exhausted, and the lineup was not insignificant, and even if the enemy's defense was doubled, he was confident that he could take it.

But to kill the Emperor... To tell the truth, Eugen didn't have this kind of certainty - after all, the other party was a ruler whose status was not inferior to that of His Majesty the Eagle King, and even if he was caught off guard in a hurry, it should still be easy to escape.

And now... He's actually dead?

Or did you die at the hands of a stupid apprentice who was a little stupid and full of "peace and justice"?!

That's too ......

"Bang!"

The elven girl took out an iron ring-shaped object from her arms and threw it into Eugen's arms with her backhand.

"This is?!"

Eugen, whose eyes widened for a moment, did not react for a moment, and took the "iron ring" in amazement - in the center of it, the relief coat of arms of the three-headed dragon holding the crown was eye-catching.

And this is not an "iron ring" at all, but a real Mithril!

"What fell from the emperor's body was like a crown or something. The blonde-haired elf girl replied, looking at Eugen with some hesitation: "It should be used to prove identity, right?"

Eugen, who frowned, was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Absolutely. ”

The cold voice of words interrupted the two elves, who had not yet recovered from their astonishment and confusion.

"It was the 'dowry' given by Queen Brunhild from the Dragon Kingdom when she married the Sakrand Empire in the first generation... The Iron Crown that has been passed down for twelve generations. Ruth Infinit said expressionlessly:

"Only the emperor himself can touch the treasure!"

Well?!

The two elves, who suddenly woke up, immediately looked in the direction from which the voice came, and the leader of the Night's Watch, covered in blood, had already escaped from the elven girl's knife at some point, and appeared ten steps behind them.

A pair of eerie and terrifying eyes stared at them!

Almost in the blink of an eye, he turned into an afterimage, and pounced straight towards the elf girl who was still stunned in place, and the cold and piercing murderous aura was almost undisguised.

The elf girl in a trance, instinctively stretches her bow and arrows to prepare to meet the enemy.

"Fool, don't go to war with him!"

Eugen, who collapsed under the pillars, roared anxiously, "Alexandra, this is a trap, run!"

But it's too late......

The bowstring sounded, and the elf girl who jumped up with the whistling of arrows suddenly fell like a fish suddenly out of the water, and her body fell uncontrollably.

Myself... Poisoned? But when......

Feeling the body gradually becoming uncontrollable, the stunned elf girl's eyes widened, watching the ghost that seemed to call for death calmly dodge the whistling "guerrilla arrow" and attack her.

"Boom ——!"

Roaring flames swept in front of the elven girl, and the staggering leader of the Night's Watch had no time to dodge and had to retreat.

The elf girl sat weakly on the ground, her hair soaked with cold sweat like rain.

"Ju, how dare you ignore my chief ...... of the Imperial Court" Eugen, who endured the pain, stood up with a long knife to support his body, and gasped:

"Don't be too arrogant, scum!"

The retreating Ruth Infinit was expressionless and threw his dagger at Eugen with his backhand.

"Bell ——!"

The dagger attack was not Eugen's face, but the blade he used to support his body, and the Unbalanced Overseer stumbled to the ground.

"Master Eugen ——?!"

Before the screaming elf girl had time to dodge, the figure of Ruth Infinit had already appeared in front of her.

"Poof——!

Blood sprayed, and the Hidden Blade slipped open the tendon of the girl's right hand.

The slumped elven girl lost her eyes and collapsed with bruises on her temples.

Eugen, who was lying on the ground, stared at the staggering, demon-like figure of the leader of the Night's Watch, and his eyes contained unwillingness and anger.

"I reminded you... I warned you......"

Rut Infinit, who was gasping for breath, barely supported his body with the Hidden Blade of his left arm, and in his pale complexion, a pair of bright golden eyes left only a cold killing intent:

"The fate of stepping into the Heavenly Dome Palace... Only death!"

The angry and frightened chief of the Overseer opened his mouth, but he could only grit his teeth.

Covering his wounds, Ruth Infinit stood motionless, staring at the two elven warriors in the hall who were only half breathing.

Pity... It's a shame.

If you hadn't been injured in the joint, the sword just now... I should be able to kill her.

Each of the three wounds was a penetrating wound, and even the side effects left over from the Holy Blood Elixir would take a while to recover.

Now I am just an empty shell with nothing on the surface, barely able to scare people.

But... Your Majesty, Your Majesty is dead?

How is this—how is this possible?!

His majesty, who was majestic, terrifying, ruthless, and exhausted, made himself a loyal man without hesitation......

Dead at the hands of a petty assassin?!

Believing that the entire empire knew Eckhart II best, Rut Infinit could not believe that the emperor, with his vision of the future, could be killed so easily.

No, it should be said that it is impossible for the other party to see His Majesty, and the possibility of even getting close is very slim... Not to mention the guards in the entire hall, even the dormitory itself is so heavily fortified that even the dragon can't ......

Just as Rut Infinit was still pondering, the movement behind him made his body move instinctively, and when he turned around, the dagger in his left hand had already stabbed out.

"Bell ——!"

Sparks of blades collided in the air, and the missing figure dodged backwards without hesitation, dodging the throwing knives of the Night's Watch leader.

"It's good to be vigilant even if you're hurt like this!" a playful voice sounded, and the petite figure landed steadily: "I'm impressed, Your Excellency the Night's Watchman." ”

"Even the old duke and grandfather of Lothair didn't escape the sneak attack of others. ”

Root, who narrowed his eyes, saw the appearance of the comer clearly by the moonlight that penetrated the main hall.

Petite figure, dark blue hair, pointed ears... And the unique, straight and short "Azorean long knife".

It was the one who killed Archduke Lothair and made a big fuss at the coronation of the new Grand Duke......

"Oh, you look like you know me - well, so I don't have to introduce myself more, right?" said the elf, who was playing with the dagger, grinned and spoke in a milky voice:

"But... Your Excellency, Lord of the Night's Watch, don't you feel that you have gone too far?"

Rutte Infinit didn't say a word, just looked at her coldly.

"Although the samurai of the Overseer are a group of spoiled big fools, after all, they are the cronies of His Majesty, and their status is also above us Imperial Court Samurai. The grinning petite figure continues:

"Killing two at a time, plus three fools sent by the Wei Court to grab credit, this will make Your Majesty lose face!"

"Oh, yes, I can't help it, it seems that I, the second lieutenant of the Imperial Court, am going to make the Overseier owe me an adult—what do you say, Lord Eugen, the chief of the Overseer?"

"Don't be sneering there, you mid-tailed ass!" Eugen snorted coldly, as if the skin at the corner of his mouth had pulled at the wound, making his expression a little weird:

"Kill this scum, the first credit for this mission is yours!"

"Really?!"

"If you dare to talk more, I will sentence you to the crime of treason!"

"Oops, oops, it's scary... Really, it would be nice if Lord Midl were still alive, such a gentle and considerate predecessor actually died in a place like the Ancient Wood Forest, making the family a lonely orphan... It's better than that. ”

"Bell ——!"

Backhand stopped the raiding Rute Infinit, and the petite elf girl had a pure and innocent smile on the corner of her mouth: "Sneak attack while people are talking to the chief of the Overseer, it is really worthy of being the leader of the Night's Watch... Despicable enough, shameless enough. ”

"I'll just take you as a compliment. The neat leader of the Night's Watch drew his sword with his backhand, and the fingertips of his right hand had already struck the center of the girl's eyebrows:

"No matter how many there are, anyone who steps into the Heavenly Dome Palace... They all have to die!"

Bang——!

The elven girl who could dodge the "Force Impact" slashed sideways and knocked back the missing Ruth Infinit.

"No matter how many, they all have to die?" the petite elf girl smiled outside: "It's scary to go very little, it's scary." ”

"Excuse me, then... If you die once, will you die again?"

Rutte Infinit's face changed suddenly, and his gaze turned behind her.

From the moment she appeared, she could hear the sound of chaotic footsteps, and she was gradually approaching the main hall.

"Smack... Syllable... Smack......"

"Click... Click... Click......"

Chaotic, slow, marionette-like sounds, dozens or hundreds of sounds.

The countenance of the leader of the Night's Watch was hard to see.

Because with the sound of footsteps, there were not only the dead royal guards, but also the night watchmen who had arranged to be stationed in various strongholds in the imperial capital!

Hundreds of figures, with staggering and shaky steps, were densely filled, blocking the main entrance of the main hall.

"I didn't expect it, I'm surprised, right, Lord of the Night's Watch... But I'm here thanks to the night watchmen you've arranged. "The petite elf girl, the former adjutant of the second seat of the Imperial Court, said with a smile:

"If it weren't for these loyal big brothers, who rushed out and wanted to kill them as soon as they saw them, they really wouldn't have been able to muster enough manpower to break the ice barrier blocking the Heavenly Dome Palace!"

"That thing seems to be born to react to existence like us, and people are not the chief of the Overseer who can wield the blade of ice, so they can only ask these big brothers who are not yet dead to do a small favor. ”

“...... Using their bodies, most of the power of the ice barrier was neutralized, so that people could enter so smoothly. The petite elf girl smiled, raised the "puppet show" in her hand, and pointed at Ruth Infinit:

"Now it seems that we have to trouble them a little more and get rid of your 'big trouble' completely. ”

"Lord of the Night's Watch, Lord Ruth Infinit!"
