Chapter 1248: Holy Death! The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind!
On the long street, there was already a river of blood.
The viscous blood made the ground smooth for tens of miles, and ordinary people could easily fall when they stepped on it, and the blood that spilled from the wounds of the corpses slowly flowed from high to low into the potholes, ditches, and wells around the road.
As for the assassins who originally jumped out and wanted to assassinate the emperor, although they were numerous, there were three or four thousand, which made the Thorn Flower Knights and the court warriors also pay a bloody price, causing endless chaos.
However, after all, this is the imperial capital, the stronghold of the Dawn Empire, and after chaos and assassination, the Thorn Flower Knights and court warriors quickly organized a counterattack.
Not only that, from the palace gate that was only a few miles away from here, hundreds of stubborn Thorn Flower cavalry had rushed out at this time, and they were almost the last elite of the Thorn Flower Knights to stay in the palace; And a group of court warriors dressed in golden armor also poured out of the palace and rushed towards the long street where the emperor was assassinated.
In the outer area of the imperial capital, thousands of patrolling soldiers belonging to the city guards, after learning that the emperor had been assassinated, also gathered from all over the city, and soon gained the upper hand with numerical superiority.
Those assassins were gradually defeated, even if there were three or four thousand of them, and there were many strong men, it was difficult to resist the strangulation of the regular troops of the empire, and even several assassins whose strength had reached the rank of great knights were also broken into thousands of pieces under the siege of the knights of the Thorn Flower Knights!
And the final collapse of the assassins came quickly. The last straw that crushed them was the magician!
The Dawn royal family has been inherited for 10,000 years, and the heritage of magicians is naturally there in the royal family, that is, the court magicians who have always been mysterious.
These court magicians were established in the founding era of the Dawn Empire 10,000 years ago, and have relied on secret magic from generation to generation for thousands of years, although the number is not large, only five or six hundred, but almost every one of them has the strength of a third-order high-level magician or above!
On weekdays, court magicians generally live in seclusion in the magic hall of the palace, only loyal to the royal family, and they are not even bird in the magic guild, which can almost be said to be one of the most important hole cards of the royal family.
Thus, when hundreds of court magicians floated out of the palace and descended on the long street, the Assassins finally collapsed......
Even though there were paladins, holy magisters, and thousands of people involved in this assassination, the court magician summoned a series of magic on the heads of the assassins, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushing it!
Countless assassins began to flee in all directions, and even the bald giant who had first jumped out and cultivated the crimson fighting spirit to avenge their legion leader Reinhardt was ready to flee for his life when he saw that he could not do anything.
I saw the blood-colored giant axe in his hand swinging wildly, and the fighting energy of the great knight level was infused into it, allowing him to easily kill a bloody path, and everywhere he passed could be described as corpses all over the field!
A whole team of fifty Thorn Flower Knights was crushed by him, and those slightly inferior gold-armored warriors naturally couldn't stop him, and even the sluggish and restrained magic released by several court magicians were casually broken away by this person, and they hid towards the crowded place.
Similar to the situation of this bald giant, there were also the eight great knights who had assaulted the emperor's side just now. These great knights also apparently noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly forced back the besieging Imperial troops one by one, wanting to leave.
However, they were not as fast as the bald giant, and only three of the eight great knights managed to escape to the periphery of the battlefield.
As for the remaining five big knights, they were naturally surrounded.
"Kill all these rebels!!"
A Thorn Flower Knight with a strength of the Great Knight level roared, and immediately rushed forward, and behind him, thousands of Imperial soldiers immediately overwhelmed the five Great Knight Assassins......
At the same time, in the battlefield . Yang, the battle between the Starry Sky Sword Saint Anakin and the Guanlan Sword Saint Sith has also come to an end.
Anakin stood tall with his hands behind his back, and the Sith in front of him could not even stand up.
Because, the body of the Sith has begun to disappear! This is the price of forcibly borrowing the power of the realm from the powerhouse of the Holy Rank!!
"Anakin, your teacher's sword, give it back to you!!"
Sith said with a wry smile, and the Infinite Sword in his hand was stuck on the ground alone, and his own body began to dissipate.
First his limbs, then his torso, all turned into light and dust and began to disperse. Eventually, the figure of the Sith ...... Completely disappeared from this world, as if it never existed!!
Guanlan Sword Saint Sith, Fall!!
And at the first moment of the fall of the Sith, all the powerhouses above the Holy Rank in the entire imperial capital were touched at the same time.
For example, the necromantic holy magister who is confronting Alice, Antonidas of the Shadow Council.
"I didn't expect the Sith's luck to be so bad......"
Antonidas glanced at the surrounding situation, and finally his eyes fell on Alice and the Starry Sky Sword Saint who was free, shook his head, and muttered: "It is worthy of the Dawn Empire, which has lasted for thousands of years, and such a large array of assassinations can reverse the situation." ”
"Senior Antonidas, your words are inevitably too much, I suggest you leave immediately, I can represent the royal family and not pursue any charges against you." Alice looked at the black-robed old man in front of her and said lightly.
For the strong people above the Holy Rank, if they can not be offended, they must not be offended, and if they can be persuaded to leave, especially for a research-type talent like Antonidas who hides in the magic tower all day long, there is no need to fight you to the death.
Only a guy like the Sith who interferes too deeply with the world and has a deep grudge against Anakin will be killed.
Of course, the reason why Alice dared to pardon Antonidas on behalf of the royal family was also because she had just sent a few words to the emperor on the side and obtained the emperor's consent before saying it.
However, in the face of such a lenient condition proposed by Alice, Antonidas shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Alice, you are a little too anxious. The main course hasn't been served yet, so how can you drive me away? ”
"What?"
As soon as Antonidas said this, Alice, the emperor and others were shocked, could there be any change?
Only Helen looked calm, she raised her pretty head and looked at the northwest corner of the imperial capital, and the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she was disdainful and mocking.
This assassination, if it has nothing to do with the temple, is definitely impossible. The question is whether the temple is willing to take matters into its own hands in the event of the defeat of the outer forces!
"Temple, I'll see how long you can endure it?!!"
Helen said secretly in her heart. Immediately, she glanced at the motionless carriage not far away, and her heart was settled.
Lord Youchen is here, even if the gods descend to earth? The reason why Lord Chen didn't make a move just now was also to fish for law enforcement and lead out the gang of masterminds......
……
At the same time, on the east side of the imperial capital, Queens.
This is the rich land of the imperial capital. It is also a place where the powerful gather. More than sixty years ago, it was the most prestigious area in the entire imperial capital, because almost all the old nobles in the imperial capital, especially those with large fiefdoms, lived here.
But in the year of calamity more than sixty years ago, many old nobles with large fiefs saw the power of the Lord of Dawn, so they abandoned the royal family, or rather, betrayed the royal family, and turned to the temple.
In order to kneel and lick the temple, these veteran nobles allowed them to build sanctuaries, set up tax collection agencies, and even station the Knights Templar in their own fiefdoms. The right was sold cleanly.
However, as the so-called misfortune and blessing depend, blessing and misfortune lurk, these veteran nobles think they are smart, but they completely make the royal family hate.
When the year of calamity passed, Helen's grandfather, the Iron Blood, ascended the throne, and dismissed many of the old nobles who held official positions in the empire and replaced them with royalists, or new nobles, who were willing to support the royal family.
Since then, Queens, where the old aristocracy gathered, has declined year by year, and the Ruhr district, where the new aristocracy is gathered, has become the most noble district today.
At this moment, the streets of Queens were deserted, except for the occasional extravagant carriage, surrounded by guards, into a manor in Queens.
The scenery of this manor looks extremely beautiful, but if you feel it carefully, you can detect a bit of murderous aura hidden in the manor.
The manor is the private property of Prince Oberon, and it is said that 200,000 gold coins were spent on renovation alone, and the castle construction in the manor can be described as magnificent and magnificent.
Today, a secret meeting between old nobles is held here.
At this time, in the castle, a large group of guests divided into three groups to communicate and talk.
The group of men and horses is a group of officers, each of them wearing the standard dress of the army, or full body armor, wearing a large sword, hanging a long sword at the waist, and the momentum is extraordinary.
The other group of people looked like old aristocrats, all of them were gray-haired and very self-contained.
The last group of people was old and small, and they looked messy, but their clothes were embroidered with thorn flowers.
In the Dawn Empire, only royal blood or distant relatives of the royal family are eligible to wear clothes embroidered with "thorn flowers".
The three groups were distinct and close to each other, especially when Prince Oberon arrived, they were even more faintly headed by the prince.
It's just that for some reason, today's event called a masquerade ball, the nobles have neither makeup, nor dancing, and they don't even raise a glass and drink with others.
Everyone, including the seemingly out-of-the-box Prince Oberon, seemed to be seriously waiting for news......
At this moment, the gate of the castle was suddenly pushed open, and a young figure hurriedly ran in, panting and stumbling because he was running too fast, and he didn't even care about the etiquette of the nobles.
The young man was clearly a nobleman, too, with shining blond hair, lake-green eyes, and his embroidered pattern of thorn flowers, all indicating his status as a relative of the royal family.
At this time, he was out of breath, and barely drank half a glass of ordinary red wine to calm his heart, and then he exclaimed a sentence:
"Lord Sith has fallen, the assassination has failed!!"
As soon as these words came out, the first reaction in the hearts of many nobles in the hall was: "This time it's over!" ”
If such a large-scale assassination attempt fails, a large number of Assassins who know the inside story will inevitably be captured, and when the time comes, the Emperor will be able to find the real murderers after a little torture or magician identification and guidance.
At that time, these old aristocratic forces, who were already in decline and were regarded by the emperor as a thorn in the flesh, would probably be wiped out and the entire clan would be wiped out!
Even the emperor didn't have to torture the assassins to find out the information, he could lock down these masterminds behind them.
The reason is that this Lord of the Guanlan Sword Saint Sith who has just been killed!
This Sith was already a guest at Prince Oberon's mansion more than ten years ago, and now that the Sith openly appeared at the scene of the assassination, the fate of Prince Oberon was already sealed.
Now, the people of the Knights of the Thorn Flower are already on their way to arrest Prince Oberon.
And once Prince Oberon falls, everyone present will be counted as one, and it is estimated that they will all have to be exterminated!!
Thinking of the tragic fate ahead, all eyes were on Prince Oberon.
At this time, the Prince of Oberon was holding a wine glass with a relaxed face, and he was chatting happily with a female nobleman, as if he had not heard the news just now.
And this performance of Prince Oberon unexpectedly calmed down the panicked mood of the nobles present. After all, Prince Oberon has always been resourceful, and since he is so calm, there must be a follow-up.
Sure enough, after a while, Oberon sent the female nobleman, put down the wine glass, looked at the people present, and said slowly: "The assassination failed, the Sith is also dead, and we have no way out." I wonder if you are willing to live and die with this king? ”
"It's nature."
"Although Your Highness orders, my Stuart family is the only one who looks at you!"
"Your Highness is right, we have no way out, we can only fight!"
“……”
The veteran aristocrats present expressed their willingness to live and die with Oberon, and the atmosphere was fierce and exciting.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost mobilized, Oberon struck while the iron was hot, and ordered in a loud voice: "Please return to the mansion immediately, gather all the masters of the family, the private army, and even the family members, our hundreds of hereditary nobles, even if a family can only make up a hundred people, at least tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, enough to attack the imperial city!" ”
After a pause, Oberon looked at the brightly clad officers in the hall again, and ordered: "Please go out of the city at once, and take over the Royal Guard, which has been infiltrated by us for decades. ”
"Moreover, this king will personally go to the temple and say that the temple will send troops to help, especially the strong to help!!"
Speaking of this, Prince Oberon suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, raised it high, and then slashed it down, shouting: "Everyone, success or failure is in this move, action, today will definitely cut off the head of Odysseus's dog!" ”
