Chapter 1485: Respect for Heaven and Heaven for a Long Time
Master Rassell's Captain of the Guard, Colonel Chitlin, is attached to the Elichar garrison and is mainly responsible for the major government facilities in the capital and the guards and guards of honor for the Ministers of State. Work of this nature naturally requires that he and his soldiers must be tall and mighty men, able to stand proudly in shiny heavy armor, and their appearance must not be too bad, at least not to hurt the country's body. All in all, it can be called a road specimen within a road specimen.
However, even if he is such an elite-level road specimen who has never been on the battlefield, Colonel Chitlin is also an excellent swordsman from a famous family. He doesn't have any actual combat records, but he still beats many famous swordsmen and samurai in the arena, and his hard power should be good, at least his alertness and perception are still good. At least, within a range of ten meters, any murderous aura and attack should not hide from his perception.
However, when the Colonel, holding the heraldic flag of Lord Russell, rode through the first block on horseback, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He subconsciously covered his chest, but he couldn't restrain the strength of his body from the sharp pain of the wound at all, as if life and soul had been left from somewhere.
"Mingfei, Lena, Jimmy......"
In the end, his mind only had time to flash the appearance of his wife and daughter, but before he could scream, he fell from his horse on the spot, and when he landed, he was already out of breath. The riders behind him let out exclamations. After all, they are not experienced elites, and their own nervousness is also transmitted to the war horses under their crotches, so the panic of people and horses is accompanied by the tragic situation of horses colliding and falling, and they are in chaos.
The coachman, however, seemed to be more experienced than the guards, and immediately stopped the carriage abruptly. The next moment, Miss Nefer jumped down from the carriage, and even carried a thin sword in her hand, looking at the posture, it was clear that she had been immersed in this way for many years.
"Miss Nefer Lady." Thelma shouted to her boss in the car.
"Stay in the car!" Miss Secretary of State shouted. The carriage is idiosyncratic, and Thelma is just an ordinary secretarial little girl who is helpless, and it will be much safer to stay in the carriage honestly than ordinary people in this situation.
Nefer crossed his sword and rushed towards the carriage in which Rassell was riding. Outside, her ears and eyes were much clearer than when she was in the car before, and she seemed to faintly hear the sound of whirring in the air. However, the sound came too quickly, and before that, some flying prop passed in front of his eyes, and it was as if it were an illusion in an instant.
She turned her head in shock, but what caught her eye was that Thelma's carriage had pierced directly. It was obviously a special carriage lined with an iron plate, and in this way there was a thumb-thick hole.
The Secretary of State looked a little stunned, probably unable to understand what kind of attack could have such an effect. Subsequently, more breaking sounds exploded in the air.
This time, Miss Nefer could be sure that it was not her own delusion.
"Phew!" "Phew!" The sound of metal being torn apart continued as Thelma's carriage was struck one by one. The coachman's luck was very good, and he rolled under the carriage with his head in his arms, and there was not even a single bruise. But the little girl in the carriage didn't even say a word.
Nefer was almost certain that it was not that she was not hit, but that she was killed the moment she was hit, and it was too late to scream - what would be the effect of hitting a helpless little girl with the kinetic energy of a weapon that could instantly penetrate the iron plate? Nefer almost didn't dare to imagine the other party's tragic situation at this time.
"Your Excellency!" She rushed to Rassel's carriage. In fact, the carriage had been opened several times by that bizarre attack. The coachman here was not so lucky, and he had a shocking wound on his body, as if he had been drilled into it by the head of a cone. The whole person's flesh and blood are blurred, and he is no longer alive.
However, Rassell in the carriage was no ordinary mortal after all, and the moment the walls of the carriage were pierced, he had already woken up from his statesman-like musings and quickly switched to the role of an archmage. In an instant, the inside of the car continued to make a crisp metal crash, as if a steel nail had been pierced into an iron ingot. Through the cracks in the windows that are not completely closed, there seems to be some sparks splashing.
Rassell then kicked open the door of the carriage with a "bang" and jumped down in one step. Although he is already an old man with a white beard, his movements are still more steady and decisive than most young people.
"Hmph, sure enough, this thing...... And they have it too. Master Russell held a conical warhead that had been deformed in his hand, and snorted coldly: "But, they don't think that this kind of thing can help me, right?" β
Nefer was not a front-line soldier, but he was not very interested in this kind of thing, but he just stopped in front of Rassel and looked around as if he were facing a great enemy.
"No, we can't stay here anymore." Miss Secretary said nervously: "Your Excellency, you must rush back to the mansion and have a round with the guards who rushed over there." β
In fact, a more reasonable way is to find cover nearby and hide and wait for help, but in this era, there is generally no experience of being shot, let alone guarding in this area. Generally speaking, the common practice of the bigwigs when they are assassinated is to immediately break out and evacuate and reinforce the troops as soon as possible. It is common knowledge in this day and age that the more people you have to protect you, the safer you are.
Master Rassell nodded in agreement, although he was an archmage, he didn't know how to respond to a gunshot from the prophet's senses. If Rassell had been ten years old, or had not been the head of state but a simple spellcaster, he would have figured out how to kill the assassin by now. But now, the heavy responsibility is on oneself, of course, you can't take risks and waste casually.
"Let's get out of the dimensional gate with a short distance. Although federal law does not allow it, it is not so much to care about at this time. "Rassell prepares to cast a spell. In fact, the best way to escape is to jump in position, but this trick can't take people. In Russell's style, of course, it was impossible to leave Miss Secretary and her guards to escape alone, so he could only use the relatively more complicated dimensional gate. Of course, for an archmage, the difference is negligible.
The Federation does have a law that says "space magic is not allowed in urban areas", because space magic is difficult to operate, and failure will always cause a lot of natural disasters. If a rookie mage without self-knowledge fails to cast a spell in a densely populated downtown area, all kinds of losses will be lost.
However, Rassell is not a rookie after all, although the space shuttle type of magic is not his forte, but he is also a great mage, even at such an urgent moment, the possibility of casting a spell is almost non-existent. Although theoretically illegal, this is the assassination of His Excellency the FΓΌhrer preparing to evacuate the scene, even the balstick with the elm head can't say anything that is not coming.
Master Rassell closed his eyes, intending to completely open up his senses to build a shuttle passage, but then he immediately opened his eyes. This time, a rare solemnity finally appeared in the Magister's eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Well done! β
"Your Excellency?"
"Spatial turbulence, spatial locking, aetheric tides, and a wide range of elemental agitation, in short, the surrounding spatial state has become a mess. Even if it's me, it will take some time to open the dimensional gate. Russell sighed, "It's airtight." If they've gotten to this point, how can they give me back time? β
Miss Nefer's heart lifted, but before she could speak, the bright light that had almost deprived her of all vision, and the heat that had invaded all her touch, suddenly blossomed. Neither she nor Russell had time to capture the true source of light and heat, and a huge roar turned into a deadly impact, instantly engulfing all people and objects within a ten-meter radius of the surrounding neighborhood. The fragments of the carriage and the limbs of the people were lifted into the sky by the wind, and His Excellency the Chairman and Miss Secretary of State, who were at the center of the explosion, could no longer even see their figures.
However, almost at the same moment, a larger explosion occurred in the Azure Palace. As a result, for a long time, most of the citizens and security personnel in the capital did not realize that there were actually two bombing attacks at this moment.
Ten minutes after the explosion, the situation had been summed up on the Sky Oasis, a super-large luxury cruise ship docked at the Ilechar marina. The big names of the federal ruling class who met last time were still the same this time, and there were more than a dozen capable staff secretaries and heralds. The resplendent cabins of passenger ships have now been completely transformed into a mere command.
"The 1st, 3rd, 4th and 7th Brigades of the Gendarmerie, totalling 2,500 men, have all entered the city of Elichar. The Clevue, the Palazzo d'Arfa, the Garrison Command, the Field Service Department, the Granary, the Arsenal and the Shipping Services Division are now under control. The head of the Field Service Agency, Makarov, was not contained and his whereabouts are now unknown. β
"Understood! In addition, Major Harris Kringles had taken control of Admiral Agroll and asked if he would be executed immediately. β
"Oh, what a job that kid Harris! Your brother is too unsuccessful, but he gave birth to an excellent grandson. β
"His grandfather and father were stupid, and the family had been excluded from the family nucleus for years. Now that I have such an opportunity, of course I will work hard. This time, I will also reward him for meritorious deeds, even if it is to cultivate him as a future family! β
ββ¦β¦ Heh, are you really willing? Will your grandson really be willing? β
"It's all the blood of the Kellingers family anyway."
"yes, that's amazing, my little Lillian isn't perfect in comparison. Killed a river of blood, but still escaped Makarov. β
"That guy's strength is not below us, and he has always done this kind of thing, the nose is comparable to the hyena Turin, and it is already excellent to be able to do this. But what is your intention to hide such a decisive and excellent granddaughter who holds the inheritance of the ancient secretary so deeply? β
"Of course, it's not to be deceived by all the bastards here! Little Lilian is so good, I am reluctant to give it to other families. Even if you are ready to marry someone in the future, you can only make a fortune. β
"Oh, I hope so...... The order was sent to go down and search for Makarov with all his might, whether he lived or died. He must still be in Elichar! β
"Understood!"
"What is the situation with the 1st and 2nd Corps stationed in the Sky Fortress? Together, there are 60,000 of them, and that's the most decisive factor. β
"Thanks to our responsible Admiral Agrol, most of the Second Army Corps, led by their commander, Lieutenant General Manin, is training on a floating island more than 100 kilometers away from here for actual combat exercises. We've already sent someone to get in touch. Lieutenant General Manyin's family is in Elichar and should be aware of current affairs. Of course, if he is really such an iron man who would rather bend than bend...... Heh, it's a desert island anyway. There were no ships to send supplies, and in a month or two they would all starve to death. β
"As for the First Legion...... Lieutenant General Lyerte is a close friend of Agroll's side, so do you want to stay? β
"Hmm...... Both he and Agrol were temporarily in control. If the dead are all over there, they will always leave a handle. As long as the overall situation is set, we still need them to carry the black pot alive. Let the deputy commanders of the two legions restrain the remaining troops, and the officers above the centurion must be sure of their loyalty, and if they can't control it, they will die at the hands of the 'terrorists' in the subsequent rebellion. β
"You're such a dangerous fellow!"
"The commander of the garrison, Major General Hammel, was also reluctant to cooperate with us, but that did not prevent us from taking control of the command of the garrison."
"Hamel is a descendant of that old fellow in Killings, right? Hehe...... It's all the color of the grass on the wall. On the surface, he looks like he is loyal to the country, but he will always be on the side of the victor. House arrest in the office, leave him alone. Although the garrison is not as good as the bandits, there are more than 10,000 people, at least it can help us maintain law and order in the city. β
"What is the situation with the military headquarters? What about the old guy in Killings? β
"Field Marshal Killings' guards sealed the gates and were confronting the 7th Gendarmerie Brigade. But don't worry, Master Mensius has already gone in person. He should be able to make wise judgments. β
"Huh, Kyle? I thought he was the last insurance against Russell Clement's actions. β
"Wouldn't it be nice to let the dignified Grand Magister, the Marshal and the Chief of the Military Order serve as assassins? Our best Assassins are nearby...... Rest assured, though, the operation was a success. β
"Success?"
"Yes, Master Aptist's newly developed spell has worked extremely well. Before that, I didn't think that the power of the Black Moon could still have this effect. β
"The Black Moon rises and falls, and it does bring elemental tides and gravitational fluctuations that affect the abilities of all spellcasters. But as long as we find a pattern, why can't we use it? What's more, this black moon is much better than the one more than a hundred years ago. Elemental tides are naturally there, and although they are irritable, they are not crazy, but they are not so bad that they cannot cast spells. However, the spatial distortions and fluctuations in the Aetheric Sea are even more violent, isn't this a godsend? β
"What's more, what that one made is really effective."
"Who would have thought that different kinds of Qiyao crystals could be matched with a slightly more complex spring principle to produce such a huge power."
"The scope of the explosion is completely under our control, but the temperature at the center of the explosion can melt even steel."
"And when and how to launch it is in our hands."
"So, can you be sure that Russell Clement is dead?"
"Operatives at the scene found fragments of his body at the epicenter of the explosion......"
"There is a possibility of fraud, but we have to take the next step."
"Well, Turner's side has a draft of the speech ready to be announced. The main force of our combined fleet has sailed into the Elichar Sky Zone. Now, the Central Fleet has been purged by Berencaster Jr., and most of the new officers have not arrived, and the people are panicking. Since little Belencaster is not there, the officers and men of the fleet are at a loss, and of course they will focus on self-preservation, and the possibility of war against us is extremely low. Even if the worst happens, with those three new toys, we can be sure of winning! β
"After the Combined Fleet arrives, send the Marines to the North Island and blockade the Central Academy of Magic."
ββ¦β¦ Old man Paloon didn't seem to have reacted yet. β
"He was a noble educator and the safety of his children and students came first. It's really pitiful, the more noble people are, the more they can't adapt to this dirty stage! β
"And Master Yushi Nacardo...... But she's always been a mystic. It's more like a traditional magician who doesn't care about the world in the old days. I've asked my daughter to lead the team to talk to her in person, at least to make sure I can watch from the sidelines. β
"What if you can't?"
"That's why I led the team! We may not be able to kill her, but we can certainly do it if she can't interfere with the situation here for a short time. After all, the stargazer who has always been in the far north. Even if you fly over on a dragon, it will take five or six days. β
"It will take at least three days for the Sixth Legion to get the news from here. Field Marshal Mencius had ordered the Tenth, Eleventh, and Fifteenth Corps, plus the rest of the Combined Fleet, to move to the eastern frontier. Before Asterre reacts, he will block all the main transportation routes. β
"The number of troops is twice as large as others, but I am afraid that there is no chance of winning the fight."
"So, all that's going to be done is lockdown. Again, if the overall situation is decided, he is a traitor. The officers of the Sixth Army will also have their own choices. β
"Well, there's the Sky Rose in Orgrimmar. With Aemon alone, can he stabilize the lineage of little Berencaster? β
"They were on the ground, and they didn't have a fleet in their hands, and when they arrived, everything was settled. Compared with his descendants, his own attitude is more important. β
"He's not going to be able to protect himself right now. If I am not so sure, how can I dare to launch such an action? β
"He seemed to be dead several times, but he was the one who fought back every time."
"So I never expected him to die below, let alone pin my hopes on a group of aimless madmen. But what if he reacted when the dust settled? Gather all his concubines to wage war against the legitimate government of the Union? But when the time comes, the Great Templar, the Dragon Knights, and all his concubines will only persuade him to give up. You know what he did in Neosfia and his daily expenses. He had never been a fellow traveler to Rassell Clement, or even to Oluseiro Berencaster. β
"But more like us?"
"Exactly. We're not destined to defeat him anyway, so why not wait until the dust settles to join him? β
"He'll pinch his nose and admit it."
"Yes, what if he let his Rainbow Rose Banner flutter in the highest place in the Federation? When he becomes one of us, isn't his glory also our glory? Ah, what a perfect ending! Anyway, after all these years, the seats here are never static. β
"Gotta get ready for the beautiful granddaughters, he's good at this."
"You have to count on your granddaughter to be liked by him."
"As long as I can take a fancy to it, even if it's a lover, I'm willing to die soon. In this way, it can ensure that the family will last for at least three generations. β
"Shameless you!"
"Each other, don't say you didn't have the idea. What did you send your twin granddaughters to the Central Fleet Command as ordinary staff officers, deliberately approaching that little girl named Moore? β
"It's better than you sending your great-granddaughter to Neosfia to study music and theater and begging to get into the Rainbow Theater Troupe, and the next step is to send it to the door to be a maid for that little girl who is the king of the night today, right? Ready to go the route to the house? The goddess is above, she is only fourteen years old, and she is still a child! β
"Why can't that? Could it be that you expect those canaries of ours to compete with an existence like the King of the Night Heavens? If you can't beat it, join it, why don't you understand such a simple truth? β
"Hehehe......"
"Ma'am, what are you laughing at?"
"No, I just suddenly felt that if we had been able to make decisions and execute today, in Farahals and Blackman, and in any previous war, with undisguised brazenness, we wouldn't have become what we are now. We, what an abominable bunch of beetles! β
"Aha, did you naively think that we weren't silverfish? But it is the silverfish, usually dormant and lazy, but only at this time, only when we want to move the flesh and blood in our mouths, will they go crazy and bite everything! β
"Well, let's toast silverfish and silverfish! I hope we can continue to parasitize and suck flesh and blood for eternity! β
"Respect the heavens for a long time!"
