Chapter 51: The Dark Shadow Hides the Breath of the Abyss

Armed with the first bolt-action rifle produced by the Artisan's workshop, Herman immediately ascended the tower and killed several Assassins who tried to force their way into the castle.

Thanks to the timely warning signal, the convoy responded immediately, and the entire suppression time ended in less than half an hour, and all the remaining defenders of the city broke up their original formations for patrol all night.

Two of the guards mutinied, one apprentice, and fifteen aborigines rebelled, and it may be inappropriate to say that the mutiny was placed, and these people were installed here in the first place, and only now that they have played their original purpose.

One castle guard was killed, three defenders were killed, and Rhodes, the captain of the castle guards, and several of his patrol teammates were wounded.

Leo's face was gloomy, and countless possibilities crossed his mind, but he still didn't figure out who was going to deal with him, Shadow Sect? Imperial? The Great Prince? , if it weren't for himself wearing the latest hardened body armor, he would have let the other party succeed yesterday.

The assassin's remaining live mouth was all poisoned and self-decided, and the once vivid names on the casualty list stimulated Leo's nerves, and he slapped the list on the table.

"Tell Finfin and Ral to do everything they can to save the wounded repeatedly! Don't skimp on medications! ”

Three days later, in the cemetery in the west of the city, a new area appeared, a two-person high stone tablet was engraved with several names, and four big characters were engraved in otherworldly characters - heroes are immortal.

Old Barrow stood alone in front of a new grave, silent, but unfortunately there was no longer that talkative boy in his ears.

He silently took off the medal on his chest and placed it in front of the grave with a bouquet of white flowers.

"Boy..... now you're also a full-fledged member."

…….

Wangcheng also spread the earth-shattering news, the eldest prince Ge Lei, who absconded in fear of crime, actually returned to the royal capital, and was put under house arrest as soon as possible, and the king ordered that no one should have contact with the eldest prince.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is a bit strange, there may be fraud, it's better not to make a hasty decision"

The dwarf king agreed, and the eldest prince had nothing wrong with his head, and when a symbolic festival failed, he burned the library in a frenzy, and ran away after stirring up the wind and rain in the south, and now he took the initiative to come back and be arrested, no matter how you think about it.

"Someone has been sent to interrogate, but His Highness won't say anything, like that....like"

"Saints?"

I've been to see it myself, but no matter what I ask, I don't reflect it, I just instinctively go about some daily life, which is very similar to the imperial people who failed to inject the saint's potion a few years ago.

But that night, although he couldn't see the evil things that Leo said, Ge Lei did have a palpitating turbid aura on his body, which was diametrically opposed to the holy light admired by the Imperials.

"Let's take a look"

At night, in a windowless room in the depths of the royal city, the imprisoned Ge Lei suddenly sneered, his neck bent to an incredible angle, and he forcibly pulled his hands and feet out of the shackles, and privately took a large piece of flesh and blood, but he himself seemed to have no feeling.

The two guards guarding the door were accustomed to the movement inside, and now many people in the royal city knew that the eldest prince was crazy, and symbolically opened the lookout on the door to see the situation.

"Weird, no one??"

"How is it possible, change me to see, how can I run away with shackles"

"Not really, are you hiding in a corner, do you want to open the door to see... Yes! ”

A hand reached out from the entrance and grabbed the head of one of the guards, who was stunned and dragged in from the small opening, whose body hung on the door, and after a few convulsions, he did not move.

The other man leaning on the door was startled, and was about to ring the alarm bell when his bloody hand pierced the door through a hole in his chest.

……

The old king felt a little restless, his eyelids have been beating in the last few days, and he can't sleep well at night, thinking about the empire, thinking about the prince, it's all troublesome.

Lying on the bed half asleep, he suddenly heard some noisy footsteps outside the door, and it became quiet again, and the king, who had not been asleep, woke up for the first time and felt that something was wrong.

"Guards! Guardsman! ”

No one answered him, and after a while, the door opened, and a familiar face appeared in the doorway, a soldier who was always on duty.

"What's going on?"

The guard's face was strange, and when he opened his mouth to say something, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell straight forward.

"Your Majesty......... Run"

The faint voice stopped abruptly, and Ge Lei, covered in blood, appeared at the door, giving the guard who fell to the ground a hard kick.

"Son of a Son!! What the hell did you do! ”

The king's angry shouts echoed in the bedroom, but Ge Lei giggled as if he didn't understand at all, and walked towards the king.

……

"A certain sage said that if something really bad happens, then don't worry, because something worse is going to happen below"

"Which sage said this, it seems to make sense"

In the face of Leo's serious vomiting, except for Egger, several students felt that the teacher's brain might be a little problematic, and they were still in the mood to joke at this time.

Lance sent a message, the regular contact of the royal city did not come, combined with the news that the eldest prince reappeared in the royal city before, there must be something terrible on the king's side, as the head of the royal knights, he should have returned to the royal capital as soon as possible.

But the imperial people on the border suddenly went crazy, attacking regardless of the cost, on the other hand, some families in the country turned a blind eye to this, and they could not leave the front line no matter what.

This is obviously a premeditated thing, the king's old department is lost in the royal city, and the only one left who can be trusted is Leo, hoping that Leo will go to the royal city as soon as possible to confirm the situation and calm down the possible situation.

The door of the council chamber was pushed open, but it was Fran who broke in, without any expression of excitement, just a faint remark.

"When are you leaving?"

"Well, you're not..."

"What am I not? Do you think I should lock myself in my room and cry at this time? ”

Leo shook his head vigorously, looking at the remaining tears in the corners of Fran's eyes, and constantly warned himself in his heart, this is a proposition, this is a proposition, I can't answer!

"Even if it comes to the worst, I will see it with my own eyes and witness it"

Fran took a deep breath and calmed her agitated feelings again.

"If something really happens to my father..... then they're all counting on me, so I..."

"Gotta go!"

If something happens to the dwarven king, then Fran is the only heir left, and the only hope to appease the people and stabilize the overall situation, so it is reasonable that he must go, Leo stood up and slammed the table.

"Tell the workshop to prepare all the weapons that can move, and how much ammunition to carry out for me!"

"Let's go to the royal capital!"
