No one expected that among the guests there would be assassins from the Cursed Sect.

These range from spellcasters who are proficient in necromancy to stalkers who know the ways of shadow. Apparently well-trained and prepared, someone immediately used a spell to extinguish the lights, plunging the hall into darkness.

Screaming everywhere, the magnates of the capital of Lordaeron ushered in the darkest moment in their lives, I am afraid that after tonight, the power of the small half of the kingdom will usher in a round of reshuffle.

Oryx looked solemn.

The assassination had clearly been planned for a long time, and the target was either himself, Arthas, King Terenus, or all three.

The Cursed Sect has quietly infiltrated the heavily guarded palace!

"Your Highness, with me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." Sensing that Galia was shaking badly, Oryx comforted her.

Today's Jialia is far from the resolute pastor of later generations. It was this terrible plague that changed her life forever - her parents died, her brother fell, her family was separated, and she escaped from a stinking ditch for two days to escape the undead on the day the capital of Lordaeron was broken......

"Help, help!"

The familiar voice belonged to the fat lady who had just danced with Orix, and had rushed to seek refuge at the sight of the holy light of the weapon in his hand.

But what awaited this heavyweight was a merciless split from Orix.

The spearhead was so sharp that it was cut in two, and blood mixed with pieces of flesh and internal organs were spilled on the ground.

Galia was stupefied and asked in a daze, "Are you ...... What are you doing? ”

"She's an Assassin, Your Highness."

Orix raised his spear as he spoke.

The glow of holiness flowed from within the weapon, radiating in all directions, like a rising sun, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the banquet hall.

This weapon is not an ordinary product, it is the [Imitation Solarion] that he exchanged for 50 points of Time Energy in the copy of the Book of Time. Solarion is the most powerful weapon of the High Heaven in the Dark Worldview, also known as the Spear of Courage, held by Impris, the archangel of courage. Its replica version even has one-ten-thousandth of the power of the original, which is not at all comparable to ordinary goods. It's just that the power will be lost as it is used, otherwise Aurix can use it until he dies.

Under the strong light, the stalkers hidden in the shadows had nowhere to hide, and some people's eyes were burned and screamed. The holy light quickly melted the gray mist summoned by the necromancer like a soup of snow, making a sizzling burning sound.

Jialia looked around, and her heart stopped beating a beat.

Flesh and blood corpses were everywhere, and the few remaining nobles were under the protection of Arthas, and the rest were reduced to undead creatures resurrected by necromantic magic. Illuminated by the light of holiness, these undead creatures instantly turned to ashes and drifted away in the wind.

Holding the holy spear, Orix's eyes burst out with golden light, as if possessed by tsundere, and the temperament of the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes. His expression became extremely arrogant, and there was more disgust in his eyes when he looked at Jialia.

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness did not notice his eyes.

"The Most High Heaven does not tolerate blasphemy!"

Impres's roar sounded in his heart, and Aurex transformed into a holy light entity, spearing and stabbing through several nearby assassins like a sugar gourd. He swept through with his spear, and divine flames inexplicably surged from the ground, and the cracked and hard marble floor erupted, spreading far away, killing several necromancers. Eventually, he slammed the holy spear into the floor, and the divine energy exploded around him, turning a large number of undead creatures into ashes......

In a matter of seconds, more than half of the Assassins were killed or wounded.

The rest of the assassins were frightened, they didn't expect this guy in front of them to be so brave. The leading necromancer knew that there must be something wrong with the intelligence, and did not hesitate to retreat with the rest of his men, leaving only one corpse behind.

"Galia, are you okay?" Alsace ran over panting, hurrying to check on his sister's condition.

"I, I'm okay......"

Realizing that his sister was only frightened and not injured, Arthas breathed a sigh of relief. It happened so suddenly, and if it weren't for the quick reaction of his guard captain Faric, he would have almost been stabbed. Once the battle began, he and Farrick were besieged by more than twenty Assassins. However, he had no armor or weapons, and his weapon was a short sword taken from an Assassin, and the process was dangerous.

With this in mind, he couldn't help but look at Oryx who was walking towards the balcony of the banquet hall. If it hadn't been for the other party's great might, killing half of the assassins with the power of one person to force back the enemy, it is still difficult to say what the situation would have been.

Arthas really didn't expect that Oryx would be so powerful.

The Assassins had clearly come prepared, and even he found it tricky, but the Saint had easily killed most of them......

And how did his weapon come from?

As soon as Arthas had a question in his heart, he saw that the weapon in Orix's hand slowly turned into holy light and disappeared.

A weapon made purely of the Light?

Alsace was shocked and only felt himself

"Your Highness, we'd better get out of here." Aurix's solemn voice could be heard in the distance.

Arthas walked briskly forward and joined him from the balcony. The palace is already very high, and the banquet venue is on the third floor of the banquet hall, and you can see most of the capital from the balcony.

The flames rose to the sky, pillars of smoke rose up, and the city was full of fires. You can vaguely hear the sound of gold and iron clashing in the distance and the sound of shouting and killing in the sky.

Alsace's expression became more and more solemn.

The scale of the attack was far beyond imagination, and it seemed that it was more than just an assassination, but how many people had infiltrated the city by the Cursed Sect and plunged the entire capital into chaos?

And until now there is no trace of the Royal Guard.

The security of the palace has always been tight, and the guards know that a banquet is being held here that is mostly attended by the great nobles of the kingdom, not to mention that he and Jialia are also there, and the guards have long paid attention to them. It stands to reason that as soon as the attack occurred, the guards should have arrived and sent half of their men to his parents' dormitory......

Wait a minute!

Arthas was stunned.

"Not good, father!" The prince shouted, picked up a weapon from the ground, and ran out of the banquet hall.

The captain of his guard was tearing off his clothes to bandage his wounds, and seeing this, he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly followed.

"Hide away, no one should come in the short term." Oryx understands that Arthas is worried about his father. But he was not worried that Arthas would fall into the trap of the Cursed Sect, so he had to ask the surviving magnates to hide, pull up Galia and chase after him.

The situation was unknown, and he didn't worry about leaving Jialia here alone.

I have to say that Her Royal Highness the princess's psychological quality is still very strong. After experiencing things that he had never seen in his life, he actually recovered, and asked Orix to wait for a while, and actually threw off his high heels and picked up a weapon from the ground.

"I ...... I've learned swordsmanship, I can help, let's go! Jialia said with a resolute expression.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, offended."

Help? If you don't mess with me, everything will be fine...... Oryx took Galia's dagger and threw it away, picked it up on his back, and galloped towards the king's bedchamber.

Her Royal Highness the princess's intentions are good, and it is not fake that she can run faster after taking off her high heels, but there are stumps, broken arms and dirty blood on the ground, and he can't afford to hurt His Royal Highness's jade feet.

Galia was stunned.

Thinking about it on weekdays, this is the first time I have such intimate contact with a man, and I don't know what to say on Aurex's back.

After running for a few minutes and dodging several waves of Assassins, the two finally arrived at the king's chambers and went up to the top floor of the castle.

But the scene in front of me is not good.

The hallway was littered with corpses.

All were the corpses of the guards, none of whom belonged to the Assassins. There are still many signs of necromantic magic on the walls.

"Father, mother......" Jialia's face turned pale, obviously thinking of something bad.

"No, no!" In the room at the end of the corridor, Arthas's terrible roar was heard.

Orix hurriedly put down Galia and ran in with her.

In front of the lavish bed, the Tyrenas and their husbands were both lying in a pool of blood, each with a short sword that exuded necromantic energy stuck in their chests, and their eyes were round and dead.

And the prince of Arthas threw himself on the corpses of his parents and howled hoarsely, and his bloodshot scarlet eyes burst out with uncontrollable hatred.

"The Lich King, the Lich King——!!!"

Oryx's heart then hit rock bottom.
