Chapter 1247: The Army of Assassins; Council of Shadows
Imperial capital.
On the long street leading to the palace gate, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the corpses of the Thorn Flower Knights, court warriors, and ordinary people constituted all this.
Almost all of them were killed by this Guanlan Sword Saint when they hindered the Sith from assassinating the emperor.
This shows the ferocity of the Sage.
However, just as the so-called time and time, the current Sith does not have the slightest arrogance just now. His face was pale, his body was shaky, and on his forehead, fine beads of sweat appeared.
He was afraid, afraid of death.
Because, just opposite him, the Starry Sky Sword Saint Anakin was holding the Sword of the Stars, approaching the Sith step by step.
Anakin's steps were very slow and difficult, as if he were dripping in the depths of the deep sea, and his gaze was sharper and colder!
"Sith, not only do you kill my teacher, but you also dare to steal my teacher's domain to stop me, today, I will kill you!!"
With another loud shout, Anakin took another step closer to the Sith with the Infinite Realm released by the Infinite Sword!
In fact, every step he took towards the Sith was as if a mountain was pressing on Anakin's body, and he stepped out in one step, crossing not only the distance, but approaching the barrier of a world!
Finally, when Anakin was only three steps away from the Sith, the barrier that represented the Infinite Realm finally began to crumble, and the invisible crack began to spread!!
Feeling the infinite realm that could be broken at any time, Sith's face became extremely difficult to look at, and finally, he sighed softly, and then, suddenly, he slowly stretched out his right hand with a sword.
I saw that the nails of his five thin fingers holding the hilt of the sword had fallen off, and the skin and flesh were gradually peeled off, revealing the white bones of the forest, and then the bones gradually turned into ashes......
Even the figure of the Sith became more and more transparent, as if the next moment, he would be blown away by the wind like a puff of dust.
This is the price that must be paid to forcibly control the power of the realm with the body of the Holy Order!
"Sith, I told you, I will kill you!"
Anakin yelled murderously again, and then took another step, and the Sith finally couldn't take it anymore.
He suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face was like golden paper, and even the Infinite Realm almost collapsed, if he hadn't had the last trace of strength, he would have been crushed to death by Anakin just now!
"Anakin, do you think I'm the only assassin today?"
Seeing that he was about to die, the Sith no longer ignored the plan discussed with "those people", and suddenly became vindictive, and shouted: "Do you plan to sit back and watch the success or failure and not kill the emperor?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire long street suddenly fell silent.
Whether it is the tens of thousands of melon-eating people, the city guards and court warriors who guard the order, or the members of the Thorn Flower Knights who protect the emperor closely...... They were all stunned.
Even Anakin's eyes changed. And sure enough...... And people!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became eeriely silent, and the swords in the hands of the city guards and knights couldn't help but clench.
I don't know how long it took, among the people who ate melons, a bald burly middle-aged man covered in a gray robe changed his face several times, and finally couldn't hold it back, grabbed his gray robe and lifted it suddenly, revealing the bright armor he was wearing!
"Boom!!"
The blood-colored fighting spirit suddenly exploded, and the crowd of people around the originally bald middle-aged man was instantly blown away, accompanied by several screams, only to see a blood-colored giant axe, which had been held in his hands!
"Odysseus, you killed hundreds of people in Lord Reinhardt's entire clan for no reason, and today I want you to pay for your blood debt!!"
This sudden burst of shouting shook the ears of everyone within a hundred meters around him, and their eyes were full of stars!
In the next moment, while the people around him were shocked by his "lion roar", the bald giant man stomped his foot, and instantly rose to the sky, spanning a distance of 100 meters, and landed directly in the long street, lifting the giant axe and slashing towards the knights of the Thorn Flower Knights!!
Caught off guard and with the huge disparity in strength, only a few bones were heard, and four or five Thorn Flower Knights were directly split into a puddle of flesh!
You must know that every Thorn Flower Knight has at least the strength of a third-order intermediate knight, however, even such a master who has cultivated his fighting spirit is still far from being able to resist the casual slash of the bald giant!
Obviously, this bald giant is at least a fifth-order great knight-level master!
"Crimson vindictive? Are you a subordinate of the Scarlet Legion Reinhardt? ”
A well-informed knight recognized the vindictive spirit used by this bald giant, and immediately understood that this guy was from the Scarlet Red Army that had been purged by His Majesty for participating in the assassination of the princess!!
"This is the crimson fighting spirit in the army, very good at group killing, forming formations, and protecting Your Majesty!!"
Seeing that the strong enemy appeared, and the Lord of the Starry Sky Sword Saint was dragged back and couldn't pull out, the leader of a Thorn Flower Knights suddenly roared, and then dozens of knights around him, everyone drew their swords, stimulated their fighting spirit, and besieged the bald giant!
However, the blood-red fighting spirit of this bald giant man was full of blood, and the thorn flower knights who pounced on him were slashed by him with a giant axe, and most of them were cut down in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, among the crowd of onlookers who were scattering and fleeing, countless figures suddenly burst out, these figures looked no different from ordinary passers-by, but they each drew weapons, bows and crossbows and magic scrolls from the shadows, and rushed out wildly!
In the blink of an eye, the city guards and court warriors scattered on both sides of the road were attacked and killed by the assassins!
The occurrence of this scene made everyone stunned, even the emperor!
"There are many assassins, Master Anakin is entangled again, Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess are leaving!"
A court warrior commander who was guarding the emperor's side roared, pulled the fast horses left by the two knights, and planned to let the emperor and Princess Helen hurry up and get on the horse, and let him, a warrior commander of the rank of a great knight, cover and escape.
This place is not far from the Imperial Palace, so you can return to the Imperial City without even half an hour!
No matter how many methods these assassins have and how many people they have, they will never be able to storm the heavily guarded imperial city!
The samurai commander was right, however, he had just led the two horses, and the emperor hadn't yet. Above. Well, a sound of machine expansion sounded, and dozens of crossbow arrows shot towards the emperor and princess, and the two horses!
Seeing this scene, the samurai commander naturally could only take care of one side, he let go of the reins of his horse, galloped in front of the emperor, and . Shoot. All the crossbow arrows that came over were shot down.
However, without his care, the two horses were shot to death!
And that's just the beginning.
In the next second, a larger-scale rain of arrows came overwhelmingly, and there were many arrows containing fighting spirit, and the number was as many as hundreds, which showed the number of assassins that appeared today!
In the face of this sudden rain of arrows, the well-trained court warriors did not mess at all, quickly gathered around the emperor and Princess Helen, raised their wide shields, formed an impenetrable shield wall, and successfully blocked this wave of arrow rain.
However, seeing that archery was useless, and the assassins were not stupid, seven or eight people surrounded them from all directions in an instant, and these seven or eight people were full of fighting spirit, not inferior to the bald giant who was the first to do it, and they were obviously all fifth-order knights!!
Seven or eight big knights, placed anywhere, are enough to turn around a battle, and with such a bloody investment, it can be seen that the people behind the scenes want to kill the emperor!!
As soon as these seven or eight big knights approached, the incomparable fighting spirit smashed the built shield wall to pieces, and the palace warriors behind the shields were even more than dozens of people who were cut off by the fighting spirit in an instant, missing arms and legs, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and then the heads were cut off by the big knights who came in!
In an instant, the defense line formed by the court warriors was broken, and only the dozen or so high-ranking knights closest to the emperor, under the leadership of the court warrior of the great knight level, delayed the enemy's movements.
In fact, if it weren't for John Jr., who was in the princess's convoy, who realized that something was wrong and rushed to reinforcements to block the three great knights with his strong strength, I am afraid that these assassins would have killed the emperor himself!
"Father, run!"
Seeing such a danger, Helen immediately pulled the emperor and fled in the direction of Zhou Chen's carriage!
Although I don't know why Tatsu-sama didn't come out to save her, Tatsu-sama didn't want to come, so she just went over, as long as she got close to the carriage, no one could hurt her life!
At this time, in the carriage, Zhou Chen held down Mrs. Alice, who wanted to go out to protect Helen, several times with one hand, and said lightly: "Wait a little longer." ”
"Wait any longer, Helen will die! Lord Chen, even if you don't care about the life of His Majesty the Emperor, you must take care of Helen's life! ”
Mrs. Alice was so anxious that her face turned red, if she hadn't seen Zhou Chen's care for Helen along the way, she would have thought that Zhou Chen was a traitor.
Hearing Mrs. Alice's words, Zhou Chen smiled indifferently and said, "Wait a little longer, wait for all the little ghosts and gods to jump out and catch them all, and save Bendi from worrying every day!" ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, Helen will be fine." Zhou Chen said categorically.
However, as soon as Zhou Chen's words came out, he felt a powerful magic power fluctuation appear not far from Helen's side, and he suddenly felt that he had been slapped in the face.
And Mrs. Alice, who had already broken through the Holy Order, naturally felt it.
"Alice, you go stop that magician!"
Zhou Chen said coldly. Looking at the fluctuations of this assassin's powerful magic power, I am afraid that it is also at the level of the Holy Magister!
"Okay, help me take care of Arya."
Hearing Zhou Chen's permission, Alice decisively admonished, and then disappeared into the carriage directly into a gust of breeze!
Only Zhou Chen and little Arya who was frightened by the shouting and killing outside were left.
At this time, on the long street, the emperor protected Helen and used his body to resist a necromantic ball the size of a basin.
And then...... Fart. Nothing.
"Jie Ji, I have long heard that the Thorn Holy Armor of the Dawn Royal Family can resist the attack of the Holy Order, and it really deserves its reputation."
Opposite the Emperor, a necromancer shrouded in black mist, his scarlet eyes greedily looked at the Thorn Armor on the Emperor's body, and said with a smirk.
Just now, he had been hidden in the crowd, and he saw the opportunity and directly sent the emperor and his daughter a high-level magic necromancy ball, thinking that the credit for killing the emperor would fall on his head, but he didn't expect to be blocked by the artifact that the emperor was wearing.
Even that, this Thorn Armor also bounced back the Necromantic Orb, almost injuring his noble body.
However, as the saying goes, people who are dead are alive, no matter how powerful that thorn holy armor is, he still has a way to kill the emperor in front of him!
With a smile, the necromancer raised the wand in his hand and fired a bolt directly at the emperor that looked evil. The dark green light of the heart!
It is already in the Great Icadivar. The puppet magic, which has been extinct on land for thousands of years, is also the only magic that can penetrate the defenses of the Thorn Armor and act on the human body!
Because this puppet magic is a kind of magic that manipulates the mental actions of others, and it has no attack ability itself, it can pass the judgment of the Thorn Armor.
And once the puppet magic hits the Emperor, he can directly ask the Emperor to take off the Thorn Armor himself, or order the Emperor to commit suicide!
However, just as the puppet ray was about to hit the emperor, a wand inlaid with a huge magic gem suddenly blocked the path of the puppet ray, eliminating the dark green puppet light.
Immediately, a body. Material. Long. The figure of the wonderful black dress slowly emerged.
"It's unbelievable that His Excellency Antonidas, the fourth member of the dignified Shadow Council and the Enslaver of the Dragon, would also participate in the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor!!"
"Jiji, it turned out to be Miss Alice of the Silver and White Tower, you actually broke through the realm of the Holy Demon Master, stained, the Holy Demon Guide, who is less than thirty years old, your teacher Karazan, will definitely be proud of you!"
Necromancer Antonidas smiled, and the killing intent in his body was reduced by ninety. Although he was entrusted to intervene in this assassination, he did not say that he must kill the emperor.
At the first glance of Alice, the new Holy Wizard, Antonidas didn't plan to do it again. It's not that he's afraid of a little girl who hasn't dried up, in fact, with his strength, even if he is a domain powerhouse, he has the confidence to compete with the other party, let alone a junior who has just stepped into the threshold of the Holy Order.
What he didn't want to provoke was Alice's teacher, Karazan St. Marek, who had been hiding in the Silver Tower for thousands of years!
Dragging the person in front of you is also a great achievement, as for the matter of killing the emperor, let others consider it.
After all, there are a few big shots, but they didn't appear......
At the same time, the northwest corner of the imperial capital.
Temple of Radiance.
The scale of this Shenghui Temple is second only to the headquarters of the Hailar Mountain Temple, covering an area of more than a thousand acres alone, not to mention many outbuildings.
Of course, there are many people in the earth, and as the largest temple building in the Dawn Empire, there are more than 20,000 priests here.
The Knights Templar stationed here alone had two thousand knights, and each of them was an existence that had cultivated the Holy Light Qi (similar to the Dou Qi, which is reserved for followers of the Lord of the Dawn).
At this time, on the highest worship tower of the temple, the six-winged seraphim who had descended from the realm of the gods not long ago, Uriel, nicknamed the Blood Angel, was looking at the battle in the distance, smiling strangely.
