Chapter 58 Seven The Operation Begins
Just as Horondis was facing the last moment of his life, several figures flashed into the royal palace in Palci.
The men moved stealthily and quickly, and at the same time skillfully evaded all the patrolling soldiers, apparently knowing everything in the palace beforehand. When the men flashed into Princess Alfrite's palace, Her Royal Highness was putting Patura to sleep.
As soon as a few people entered the palace, they immediately restrained several maids, but there was still a slight noise.
"What people!" Alfrette heard something strange and immediately took Patura in her arms and leaned her back against the wall. The two lions beside her immediately stood up and bared their fangs in front of their master.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't make a noise, here is Lord Li Tianhao's confidant Mueller." The leader of the group whispered.
"Oh, Mueller, yes, I have an impression of you." Alfrette took a closer look at Mueller's appearance, nodded and motioned for the two lions to sit down, and then said, "What are you doing here?" Did the colt send you? ”
Mueller took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Afrite, saying, "This is a letter from Lord Li, please believe it in Your Highness." ”
Alfrette put down the child, unfolded the letter, looked at what was indeed her husband's handwriting, and said, "What is the matter when you come at night?" ”
Muller said: "Time is urgent, I can only say an approximate situation below." A coup d'état is about to take place in Palci! Please take the little princess with you immediately! ”
Alfrette was taken aback: "Coup d'état?!" What nonsense are you talking about? ”
Mueller hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please trust the judgment of Lord Li Tianhao, this matter is absolutely true, the nobles have reached an agreement to launch a mutiny to seize power!" In the next has been arranged. Flee the palace immediately and go to the Tiers realm. ”
At this point, Alfrit's face changed. Although she is not good at politics, she has heard of the conflict between the great nobles and her father. At that moment, she picked up the little princess Patula again and said, "What about the father and the king?" ”
Muller gestured and asked the princess to go with him, and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will immediately go to rescue His Majesty the King when I send you out of the palace, Lord Li Tianhao has told you and the little princess that the most important thing is to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness's mother and daughter." ”
"Yes, colt," said Alfrite, blushing, and followed Muller out of the palace. The two lions followed, leaving only the stunned maids lying on the ground.
Along the way they managed to avoid the eyes of the sentinels and patrols, and all the way to the southwest side of the palace, where Müller pushed aside a bush in the corner of the wall, revealing a hole that could be drilled by a man with his head down. Müller turned to Alfret and said, "Your Highness, get out of here, and my men will take you to the Nara River, where a boat has been prepared." I will immediately go to His Majesty the King, and please rest assured. ”
"What about Brother Wang?" Alfrette said urgently.
Muller smiled slightly and said, "If you can bring His Royal Highness the Prince out." Then the coup d'état probably wouldn't have happened. ”
With that, Mueller and one of his men quickly ran in the direction of the palace. It took a few seconds for Alfrette to understand what Mueller meant, and she gasped. She couldn't believe that her brother was the initiator of the coup, but time did not allow her to think about it, so she could only follow the Muller's men out of the palace first.
Mueller has a reason for establishing his actions today. For it was the only day since he arrived in Nirru that neither the chief nor deputy commander of the King's Praetorian Guard was on duty, and although there were still two officers to keep the entire Praetorian Guard running normally, it was already a precious time. But Mueller, of course, won't know. At this time, Li Tianhao had already led his troops north, but soon after he entered Palchi, all news channels had been blocked. Today's timing has come precisely because Bard is ready to make a move, in order to clear the last obstacle to His Majesty's bedchamber, Horondis, to create this gap. Just as Mueller sent Princess Alfret out of the palace. In front of King Airul, a dozen Praetorian Guard soldiers appeared.
"What's going on?" The old king, who was already lying in bed but had not yet slept, sat up.
"Back to Your Majesty, someone has seen an unknown figure in the palace, in order to ensure Your Majesty's safety, please follow your Majesty to a safe place as soon as possible." The person replied.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? King Arul sat up straight, reached out and took his clothes and draped them over his body: "Where is Horondis?" Where's Karnas? ”
"The two adults are mobilizing soldiers to hunt down suspicious people."
Seeing that none of his attendants had come in, Airul sneered: "As the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he didn't bring troops to escort him, but he went to look for a shadow? Horondis is really old and confused. ”
"This, please forgive your majesty, the lowly rank is also acting on orders."
"You are indeed guilty, but it is not a dereliction of duty, but an attempt to rebel, right? Holon Dith is not on duty tonight at all! You don't even know what is going on in the palace, and you dare to pretend to be a Praetorian Guard? The old king said as he pulled out the hanging sword from the wall.
"Your Majesty! Please don't act rashly, because you really don't want to hurt your majesty. "Now that the king has seen through it, these people no longer hide it.
"If you dare to rebel, are you still afraid of killing the king?" As he spoke, the old king swung his sword and slashed at it, and the group hurriedly avoided it, and at the same time drew their swords with a brush.
Airul snorted coldly: "Come on, let's see who among you cowards will commit the crime of killing kings!" ”
The old king swung his sword and slashed at the thief continuously. When it comes to martial arts, King Arul is really not among the best swordsmen, let alone the old age. It's just that because these people he said are afraid of incurring the blame of Prince Bard for committing the crime of killing the king, they do not dare to deal with His Majesty with all their might. At first glance, it seems that the king of Airul has suppressed this group of people, but the king will never be able to escape from the encirclement of these people.
After a few more moments, Airul was exhausted and panting, and gradually lost his strength. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of swords clashing in the distance, and Airul was overjoyed, thinking that his Praetorian Guards had finally realized that something was wrong and rushed to his rescue.
The group also heard that the situation had changed, and that they could no longer care about the king's safety, and everyone stepped up their sword moves to prepare for the forcible capture of the king.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed out, and immediately two people let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground, and before everyone could react to what was going on, the black shadow disappeared.
"Be careful! Watch your back! The man at the head shouted.
As soon as the words fell, the black shadow reappeared, and another person fell to the ground. The shadow then vanished.
"Not good! This kid is amazing! Fast! Take down the king! Seeing the strange whereabouts of the other party, this group of people could only change their tactics. Suddenly, there were five people who killed Irul at the same time, and Aroul couldn't deal with such an attack even when he was young, let alone today? He struggled to push away the attack of one of them, dodging the sword of the second person, but the other three swords that were supposed to stab him in the body did not come as promised, but stopped halfway.
Arul's heart sank, and then he saw a figure at the feet of the three men cut open the abdomen of the three men with a knife, and the intestines tumbled out of the three men's abdomen. (To be continued......)
