Before Rodney could finish speaking, the two rows of soldiers on the main road in front of the throne hall were the first to pierce the halberd through the circle opened by Rodney.

And the exits of the magic circle were generated behind the people in the hall.

Minister Palmer, Qiu Yi, and eight of them are senior mages of the Ministry of Magic and gifted among the Imperial Guards.

Ten men were instantly stabbed in the heart in the back, and the tip of the halberd pierced through the chest, splattering blood in front of them, staining the carpet of the throne room, the conference table, and the paper map that was full of them.

The soldiers knew where to stab after the circle was opened, because they had been trained many times.

There are still some magicians and royal guards left in the throne room.

"Protect Your Majesty!" The magician beside Palmer shouted.

Before the tip of the blade piercing through Palmer's chest could be withdrawn, Rodney revoked all the portal circles, and he urgently needed to use them himself.

The circle closes, and by the way, the front end of the halberd is cut off flatly.

Seven or eight mages raised their staffs, and the guards shot arrows, giving priority to attacking Rodney in the vicinity, and it was not clear why the soldiers in front of the hall had become accomplices.

Fireballs, lightning bolts, wind blades, icicles, and arrows, all shot at Rodney.

At the last moment, Rodney's ten groups of magic circles opened in front of him, and all the attacks hit inside, and the exits of the magic circles opened to the left and right, and the arrangement was almost distributed to the ceiling, all facing each attacker.

With a bang, a dazzling array of magic and arrows killed all the remaining guards, mages, and ministers in the hall. Except for Turner.

The air was quiet, except for the smell of a magical attack scorching the human body.

It only happened in two seconds.

In the direction of the throne, King Charles and the eldest princess Felicia were dumbfounded, their lips trembling.

“... Y-What have you done!? Rodney! Shocked, King Charles couldn't believe his eyes.

Immediately after Turner approached Rodney, a flash of light faded from his armor and middle-aged appearance, revealing the appearance of a merchant in a black robe, turban, and round glasses.

King Charles had some impression of the stranger, Lynch, a slave trader who had reported the loss of the Curse Seal Scroll to the royal palace a few days earlier......

"Do what I'm supposed to do." Calmly answered, Rodney approached the throne.

Lynch came to Qiu Yi's corpse and shook his head repeatedly, "I was still thinking about who should take the 10,000 soldiers out of the city, but I didn't expect this guy to volunteer, I really helped you, Knight Rodney." ”

Rodney ignored it.

"Zeber's men who can be considered a threat are gathered, and there is no second opportunity like this, and if the king sends you to lead the troops, it will be difficult to carry out the plan." Lynch continued, unable to hold back his laughter.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers guarding the main road outside the hall lined up into the throne room, guarding every exit tightly, and at the same time, the disguise magic faded, revealing their eagle heraldic armor.

"The Standy Army... So you're from the Standy Kingdom! King Charles raised his trembling fingers, anger and fear welling up in his heart.

“... Is all this a lie? Taking a deep breath, Felicia said in an unsteady voice, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Eldest Princess," Rodney tilted his head slightly at her, "It wasn't my intention to lie to you, and what I said wasn't all lies. ”

"I don't want to hear it!" Felicia interrupted suddenly, almost crying, "... Why is it so coincidental? You're going to save me from the dragon attack, and you're going to give me back, to you..."

"It's the dragon I raised, it's only three years old, but it's huge, and its name is Blazing Breath," Rodney pointed upwards, "Blazing Breath is hovering over the city of Zeber, and it's a good day to be spotted with dark clouds today. ”

Rodney's tone was calm, as if he had returned to the afternoon tea time with the eldest princess.

"What are you talking about!? Bastard! You killed all my guards! There are also mages who have been trained by the royal capital for many years! King Charles roared. Now that Turner has been dropped, the real Turner is probably not spared, and now the people who can help themselves... Not a single one left.

But King Charles wasn't right, and a pair of invisible eyes in the hall looked at the scene, but he couldn't help anything for the time being.

He is Palmer in a state of emptiness...

Palmer's corpse's eyes widened, there was no doubt that the corpse was dead, but that didn't completely end him.

The magic taught by his mentor Sangilf saved Palmer's life - he entered the void moments before he died, and his body was replaced by a magical illusion that was false and real.

The Void overlaps reality, and within it Pamel can travel anywhere in the real world, not being seen or perceived by anyone in the real world, and not being harmed in all forms by the real world.

Except for the particles, at this time Palmer can touch real-world objects, but he can't shake them, even a tall clump of grass can block his way, but he can't wave the blades of grass to bend it in the slightest.

So now Palmer is a transparent person who is powerless, and he can't do anything but wait and see. Resentful and blamed for his carelessness, he didn't expect that the person who caused all this was actually the dragon slayer hero Rodney. If he hadn't been stabbed to death, be vigilant, Rodney wouldn't be his opponent!

Now, he will have to wait a long time before he can come out of the void, and the original phantom corpse will disappear immediately.

King Charles and the eldest princess both have a "guardian necklace" created by their mentor Sangilf, and ordinary people can't hurt them, which is probably why Rodney didn't kill them in the first place.

The "Guardian Necklace" cannot be taken off without one's will, and those who touch the necklace directly or indirectly without permission will be subject to inevitable magical punishment.

Therefore, Palmer intends to wait and see what happens, and wait until the right opportunity to save the king.

"What are you talking to them about? Why don't you kill the king and the eldest princess yet! Lynch rebuked impatiently.

"I said it before," Rodney looked back with little kindness, "those who attack the king and the eldest princess will be eaten back by their magic, and any attack will be returned to the attacker, and my magic is no exception, don't act until you know what kind of magic it is." ”

"Wouldn't you know if you tried more?!" Lynch gave the Standy soldier a look.

The slightly evasive soldier took off the crossbow he was carrying, wound it, aimed it at the king, and pulled the trigger.

"Ugh!" After the sound of the bowstring handkerchief, the soldier covered his shoulders and crouched in pain.

Luckily, he didn't aim at the point, and the arrow fired at King Charles disappeared the moment it touched his body, and then landed on the soldier's shoulder.

Despite knowing the result, Palmer breathed a sigh of relief, as for the method of cracking the "Guardian Necklace", perhaps only people with a high degree of magical experience knew about it, like his own mentor.

"Tsk," Lynch said with a look of disgust, drawing his staff, "It's all here, obviously killing the royal family will be done!" ”

How's that? Lynch unfurls his magic shield in front of him, and his staff is aimed at the King's knee.

Crackling! Lynch's knees were smoking, burned by lightning strikes, and a hole was burned in his expensive pants.

"Shhh——! .... Isn't it even useful to have a defensive shield!? He endured the pain and healed himself, and his knee healed, but the blackened hole in his pants could not be repaired.
