Chapter 151: Let's Go to War First!
ยท
The current king was also a brute when he was young. After all, "impact" mages are the most suitable for combat, and according to popular divination, all impact mages have a brute strength in their bones, even if they are kings with many concerns. He was originally a big grinning guy, just like Yuan Huang saw, like a kind old man.
Why did such a king order to hunt down seduce mages across the continent for more than ten years? There are two reasons for this: first, from the perspective of today's magic theory, the impact class is the most powerful, but it is restrained by non-combat mages such as prediction and illusion, especially when facing enchanting magic, the resistance is the lowest; Second, the king had been seduced and hated it.
The king can turn a blind eye to many things, including Yuanhuang's unreasonable accusations in front of the throne, including Yuanhuang's babbling conditions, including the fact that the king doesn't believe that there really is a "heavenly realm" in the world, ah, these don't really matter, and it's not a matter of principle. He's such a big grinning character.
But when it comes to seductive mages, it's like sand in your eyes.
When Yuan Huang Jin met, there were more than a dozen high-level spirit mages hidden behind the throne, staring at Yuan Huang's mana operation, beware of whether he used charm magic, and even more so in private chats later. After all, according to rumors, this female mage of the Heavenly Realm is a master of magic...... Does the whole practice also include charm magic? He didn't want any seductive mages in his country who were still gasping for breath.
Because Yuanhuang did not use any charm magic, it was judged that the latter could be trusted, so there was a later matter of giving the title and marriage. As a king, these are based on national security considerations, because the two forces of the Fire Clan and the Northern New World are about to fight.
Perhaps just looking for an excuse to start a war, the Fire Clan demanded to hand over the "Fire Dance Reaper", but refused to describe the other party in detail. Finally, the king's spies found a similar figure, a female mage from the heavenly realm, followed by a Fire Clan woman.
The king decided to go and see this Hongyang Minbo for himself.
In fact, he guessed correctly, the Fire Clan is the most warlike and crazy people in the world, and "hand over the target or go to war" but refuses to specify what the target looks like, in fact, it is simply just a random excuse to invade. But in any case, it is impossible to confirm that Hongyang Minbo is the person that the Fire Clan wants, and the king can only confirm it with his own eyes. At least after seeing it, you can intuitively judge whether the other person is ordinary or not.
Even if it is close to a city, the king's travel is a big deal. On the basis of the private interview of Weifu, a team of nearly 100 people was finally formed for the third prince, Beishangjue, many ministers and royal family guards, and "secretly" infiltrated the northwest commercial city. Even more astonishing to the king's surprise than the fact that the guards were being concentrated and many of the houses were empty, there were hundreds of people fighting in the square.
More than a dozen elite assassins, dressed in masked black, besieged Shar Pei with the momentum of the same fate, but they were constantly resisted by Hongyang Minbo wielding a pair of giant swords. The nearby guards rushed to hear the noise, and they were outnumbered. A group of people moved as they fought, and gradually forced Hongyang Minbo and Sha Pei back to the center of the square. At least this place has a good view and is not easy to be attacked.
The Assassins were, of course, sent by Nicorid. When Shar Pei appeared in public, and even became an official to help the "Rain Culvert Loyalty" govern the territory, Nikorid instantly understood everything. What a blatant provocation! He had never seen anyone brave enough to take a tainted witness with a lethal eyewitness to the streets, and he was simply declaring to the whole world, "Nikoyid, if Lao Tzu wants to completely kill you, start with the only witness you accidentally left behind."
With Nikoyid's state of mind, he was simply mad. He didn't understand how Shar Pei survived, but he finally understood why Rain Culvert was so stupid to prove to the king that he was behind it. The testimony is secondary, the main thing is to declare war on Nikorid, which is a threat, a warning, and a deterrent!
Shar Pei must be killed with all his might! The only witness!
So Nikoyid sent the best assassins to carry out a vicious attack, and even a strange woman with infinite strength like Hongyang Minbo was tired of parrying and retreated.
"Your Majesty, ...... we?"
One of the courtiers asked in a low voice, only for the king to raise his hand and veto. They are now coming in disguise, and meddleling in their own affairs will surely lead to fire.
But the king suddenly discovered that Hongyang Minbo had two giant swords in his hands that were longer than her height...... It's so familiar! However, she kept swinging at high speed, fending off the attacks of the assassins, and it was difficult to see. Why is it similar to the "King's Greatsword" in the portraits handed down from generation to generation of the royal family?
The winner was soon decided.
Although the assassins were fierce, they were helpless to take off the target's head for a long time, and they were attacked by endless guards behind them, and even if they occasionally injured Hongyang Minbo or Sharpe, they were instantly healed by a silver healing potion. It was only a matter of time before the Assassins were wiped out.
Every assassin who was slashed by Hongyang Minbo would be hit in the chest with a throwing knife by his companion, shattering the corpse poison and destroying the corpse. Hongyang Minbo wanted to at least catch the last person and leave a corpse, but when the other party found that he was the only one left, he immediately and decisively smashed the poison bottle by himself and committed suicide.
The battle is over.
Hongyang Minbo finally stopped wielding the two greatswords at high speed, and the king finally confirmed that it was indeed the "King's Greatsword".
He bowed to the King's Greatsword.
It was a secret that had been passed down from generation to generation in the royal family. A thousand years ago, the king of the "Hundred Years of Prosperity" had two giant swords, which were the symbol of the king, but they were later missing. Legend has it that only a true king is qualified to take up these two swords. In other words, Hongyang Minbo, who now holds these two giant swords, is the next king who shoulders the mandate of heaven. Those who kneel are the ancestors of the legend, and those who worship the chosen ones are respected.
โฆโฆ In fact, it is nonsense. Indeed, the "King's Greatsword" and artifact fragments are similar to many legendary equipment, and have the spirituality of recognizing the master, which cannot be held by outsiders. But in the millennium, the magical power that repels the non-owner has long since disappeared, that is, it is in a state of ownerlessness. When in the underground altar, whoever picks up the king's giant sword first will be the new master, which has nothing to do with the mandate of heaven, and has nothing to do with the choice of the next king.
Everyone behind the king knelt down, though confused.
"Your Majesty, this woman must be the Fire Dance Death Reaper that the Fire Clan asked for, there will be no mistake!" Anyone can see that Hongyang Minbo is not an ordinary man, "The minister applies to arrest her immediately and hand her over to the Fire Clan!" โ
"Nope." Without thinking, the king replied, "She is the next king!" How is it possible to hand over the prince? โ
The crowd was shocked.
"However, we won't have a chance of winning the war with the Fire Clan and the Northern New World at the same time, please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"I've made up my mind! Let's go to war with the Fire Clan first! โ
At this moment, the scene in the square was chaotic, and several spirit mages accompanying the king had not yet discovered the scattered and thin enchanting magic of Hongyang Minbo, which they had seen before.
