Chapter Fifty-Six - The Last Assassin
"The snow has stopped? Looks like that's okay! Standing in the residence of a certain family faction, Lu Ming found that the snow had stopped, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and moved his gaze to Breccan, who was not far away, and had his arm and head cut off, but was still alive and well. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"To be honest, the undead are a bit of a hassle for me, but I also have the cards that can take you out. So go obediently, and don't lose your second life for that kind of villain. The sword pointed to a head in the snowdrift not far away, and Lu Ming persuaded him.
It's a pity that the head rejected his kindness, lost the body of the head, and waved the hunter's standard sword with the only remaining arm, and then ran towards Lu Ming.
In the most direct way, he rejected Lu Ming and began to attack again.
Before the snow stopped, he and Lu Ming had been fighting for an unknown amount of time. Although at the beginning, relying on the recovery power of the undead and the monster power that was even greater than the demonic beast brought a lot of pressure to Lu Ming, but after only twenty rounds, he was suppressed by Lu Ming in turn.
Due to the low temperature caused by the snowfall, Brecan's limbs are quickly frozen after being cut off, so that they cannot connect and merge with their bodies. Taking advantage of this, Lu Ming had already beaten Breccan to the point that he was powerless.
The only fly in the ointment was that the girl named Falsel didn't know where to hide, so that Lu Ming couldn't forcibly use the ghost in the ring to devour Evennes's soul to remove her and her threat to Yu'er Sika.
And if you want to find people room by room in the station, Brecan is a roadblock that must be solved. Otherwise, Lu Ming would not have been able to carefully find that Falsel here under the interference of Brecan.
"In that case, you can't blame me." Blocking Brekan's attack with a straight sword, Lu Ming let out a loud shout, and a thunder palm slapped directly on Brecan's body, knocking him back several steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ming stepped forward and stabbed out with a sword, piercing Breccan's only remaining arm in one fell swoop.
The next moment, Lu Ming's other hand was directly pressed on Brecan's shoulder, chuckled, and said, "Eat him, Layla." ”
"Okay~" A little girl's whisper suddenly came out of the flange ring on her finger, making Brechan shudder instantly.
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Brechan felt a suction force that pulled his soul out of his body, and in a short time, most of his soul was sucked away.
Frightened, Brecan didn't care if Irushir's straight sword would bring any serious damage to his arm, and hurriedly broke free from Lu Ming's control and retreated more than twenty meters.
As a result of this, the only remaining arm was naturally cut off by Ilusir's straight sword! But at least doing so saved his life!
"I wasn't completely eaten...... You're really in trouble! Seeing that Brecan had broken free from the fate of being eaten by Layla, Lu Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised. But soon he attacked again.
Carrying his sword, Lu Ming rushed towards Brecan, ready to cut off his legs, and then let Layla eat his soul completely.
But at this moment, the shadow on the side of Brecan's body, head, and severed arm suddenly stretched out three arms, forcibly pulling Brecan into the shadows.
Seeing this, Lu Ming was about to be bad, so he hurriedly rushed forward, made a secret calculation, and attached the malicious energy to the straight sword of Ilusir, and directly plunged the sword into the shadows.
Suddenly, a large pool of blood poured out of the shadows. However, the person who rescued Brecan was hidden in the shadow, and even if Lu Ming was able to hit him with a secret plan, he couldn't directly hit his vital point, so although he was severely injured by Lu Ming, he still used the ethereal existence of the shadow to escape away.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Lu Ming was so angry that his teeth itched. Those people were able to save the undead of Brecan, so that Falsel had naturally been rescued.
There was no way, Lu Ming had to use the Ilusil straight sword to carve a magic array on the ground, activate the magic array with magic script, and summon several shadow wolves from the shadow world.
"Go into the shadows and find a few people from the Cult of Evil Spirits and a red-haired orric girl who has a relationship with them!" When the shadow wolves appeared from the magic array, Lu Ming added teleportation magic to these shadow wolves without saying a word, and gave them an order.
Ordered to dove into the shadows, the Shadow Wolves quickly descended into the shadows to track down the few who had saved the Cult of the Evil Spirits of Brecan and Falselth.
Waiting for the evil wolves who had sneaked into the shadows to leave, Lu Ming looked up at the residence of the family faction in front of him, couldn't help but snort coldly, and turned to leave.
However, in order to prevent Falsel and the people of the Evil Spirit Church from fooling him, Lu Ming left several magic eyes here, lest those people didn't leave at all.
-----------------------------------
In the Grand Duke's Palace, the Grand Duke's side, which has eliminated both the family faction and the papal knights, burns expensive furniture in the hall, waiting for hope or death.
Because of the war with the family faction and the papal knights, at this moment, only about thirty percent of the nobles in the Grand Duke's palace remained, and two counts on Amp's side also died. Although he did not die, Count Sari was mortally wounded by the papal knight with a sword cut and was treated by the fire by the few remaining priests.
Sitting on the stairs, Winsland snuggled up with a spy wrapped in a spy, while the Chimera stood by the window the whole time, waiting for the snow to stop.
And the three grand dukes are at this moment, together with a few nobles who are still capable of calculating, planning to rescue the people in the city after the snow stops.
Instead of despair, the Grand Dukes chose hope. In the cold and biting study, they worked out all the things about rescuing the people one by one. As long as the heavy snow stops, you can immediately mobilize the recruits who are trapped outside the city by the heavy snow and cannot enter to start rescuing the people.
But a viscount said with some concern: "Now, we don't know how many people have died in the city, and we don't know if there are any remnants of the family faction in the city now. Relying on those recruits alone can cause quite a bit of chaos. After all, it is a catastrophe, and those recruits are not as calm as the veterans, and it is easy to steal those things after seeing them, so that the people will rebel. ”
"It's true that it's not for nothing that those recruits do things to grab things." After listening to the man's words, Grand Duke Ferram couldn't help but nod slightly. But soon he said: "However, even if you are a veteran, this kind of thing is repeatedly prohibited, and there is no way to do it." The only thing we have to do is watch them and tell them not to go too far. ”
Hearing this, Grand Duke Elsa couldn't help asking: "Why don't you use a military order to force the recruits and not take the people's things?" ”
Grand Duke Raels glanced at Grand Duke Elsa lightly, and said helplessly: "We can do this, but how do you know if they take it or not?" ”
"Forehead ......"
"This kind of thing, even if it is done by the elite troops who are forbidden by the order, there will be exceptions. Most of the soldiers were illiterate civilians who didn't understand what we were saying. In their eyes, those things are ownerless, no different from wild fruits in the wild. We might be able to forbid them to take those things, and I'm sure most of them will do what we do. But the problem is, not everyone will listen. But if one person takes it, there will be a second. In addition, if we really want to severely punish those people, we must investigate who took it and who did not, otherwise it is easy to cause a mutiny if we indiscriminately wronged recruits. But if we want to investigate these things, we will not be able to devote ourselves to disaster relief. So both Felam and I felt that instead of doing this, it would be better to let the nobles and instructors follow them, so that they could be prevented from hiding the products in the first place, and that they would know that they were not to be taken. ”
After listening to Archduke Raels's explanation, Archduke Elsa asked with some confusion: "What if the nobles and instructors don't care, or if they also take things?" ”
"If it were you, would you do such a thing regardless of your aristocratic status?" Ferram asked angrily.
"If it's a magic book, I think I'll do it......"
"Shut up! You scum of the aristocracy!! Before Archduke Elsa's ridiculous words were finished, Archduke Raels shouted with great dissatisfaction.
And Grand Duke Ferram on the side also said helplessly: "Even if you really want something, you can use other methods entirely." Why do you have to use the stupidest one? ”
“......”
"Remember, Grand Duke Elsa Aymanra! You are the Grand Duke! You're not a little nobleman in a small place! You can't ignore the faces of the nobles and do things that disgrace the nobles! ”
"What! Aren't you talking about those recruits? Looking at Archduke Raels, who was only eleven or twelve years old, but was angry and more majestic than himself, Archduke Elsa muttered very dissatisfied.
"You!!" Hearing this, Raels was almost.
In his opinion, as long as he becomes a Grand Duke, everything will be brought by subordinates, even if it is a rare treasure, it is not a difficult matter. And he didn't care about these things himself, because only tyrants and mediocre archdukes would like them. A true wise duke must always be the merit of no one before or since, and be able to make his name in history and be praised forever. And Archduke Elsa's thoughts, he really couldn't understand.
However, this is actually because of the rise of commerce in Erepos, which makes Erepos lack everything, so that he can get everything. If you call Amp, who has a barren land and a population half that of Errebos, it probably won't be possible at all.
Archduke Ferram knew this very well, so he said to Archduke Raels: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. She is a poor person now, and when the war is over and the business is developed, she will not think like this. ”
Although Elsa knew that Ferram was speaking for herself, she still couldn't bear it when he said that he was poor. Anyway, she's also a grand duke now, how can she say that?!
However, before she could speak, the Chimera and several nobles rushed in and said to the Grand Dukes, "The snow has stopped! And they succeeded!! ”
As soon as they heard this, the three archdukes immediately hurried to the window, and when they saw that it was no longer snowing outside, they immediately ordered: "Everyone starts the disaster relief operation!" ”
In an instant, the nobles immediately took action.
No matter how many people died in their families, they were nobles, and they had to go to disaster relief, for the sake of their own power and not to be underestimated by the nobles of other principalities.
As the relief and relief plans were distributed, people soon went to civilian areas, commercial areas, industrial areas to gather all the people who were still alive and take them to safety. Others went outside the city to mobilize new recruits to start rescue operations. Others went to the teleportation magic station in the commercial area and went to the various counties to gather them. Only a handful of nobles chose to collect the corpses of the nobles who died and were killed, as well as to support Count Bellar.
About half an hour later, Count Peter, Lisa, and Freddy returned to the Grand Duke's side with the surviving soldiers, and the Count Bellar, who had met halfway through, and the soldiers.
Along the way, they have rescued many noble family members trapped by heavy snow, and have also eliminated all the papal knights and slaves of Ilusil in the entire aristocratic district. But the price was just as heavy, two hundred soldiers, and at this moment only seventy remained. And Count Bellar, as the commander, also lost an eye and three arms. Although, for the Zerg, the broken arm can grow back, it is already a complete serious injury! Not to mention, he was also stabbed in the abdomen by someone from the family faction.
In this regard, Grand Duke Elsa felt very heartache. What made her even more heartbroken was that after this rebellion of the family faction, the nobles of Anubhai City combined were less than fifty percent of the time when her father was in charge of the principality. It can be said that the rebellion of the family faction was a very vicious slap in the face to her, which made her furious!
But now is not the time to deal with those family factions thoroughly, and now there is no manpower to deal with the family faction people except for disaster relief and by the way, to find out if there are any other family factions in the city. But as long as the disaster relief is completed, Archduke Elsa, who was woken up by the family faction, will let those people in the family faction know that she, the Grand Duke, is not easy to mess with!
As time passed, more and more people gathered, led by the nobles, to the less badly damaged industrial areas, where they rested for a while, and when the weather cleared, they went to rebuild their homes with the soldiers.
As Grand Duke of Amp, Elsa Aymanra needs to speak in front of the people in order to calm them down.
But before leaving, Grand Duke Elsa met a little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old in the Grand Duke's mansion.
Because the other party was wearing clothes that only nobles could wear, Elsa thought that this child was the child of a nobleman, so she stepped forward to talk to her, but as soon as she walked over, she heard the child say to herself, "Watch your back!" There are assassins!! ”
Immediately after that, Elsa felt a sharp pain in her back, and when she turned around, she saw her husband standing behind her, and in his hand, he held a dagger that had pierced into her body. And his eyes are not bright, and he looks like he is being controlled.
Akuton stared blankly at Elsa, and jerked the dagger out of Elsa's body, before stabbing her again.
At this critical juncture, the girl suddenly intervened and rescued her...... (To be continued.) )
