Act 286 Self-Disorder
Volume II: The Dusty Kingdom] Act 286 from Luàn Formation
Act 286 from the Luàn Formation
Nimesis and her knights were at loggerheads, but no one in the hall was aware of it. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Eruin had come to the Countess, and she smiled at Dilferry, who looked at the most beautiful princess in all of Eruin and frowned and nodded slightly, but no one noticed the imperceptible loneliness in her eyes. Princess Griffiin and Dilferrey apparently knew each other, and there was a small whisper in the presence - Swallow Castle is a family as old as the royal family of Corkova, and the history of both dates back almost to the beginning of the kingdom to the present day, and it is not surprising that its members know the heirs of the royal family.
It's just rumored that the royal family has a mysterious connection with some ancient traditional family, and now it's finally confirmed. Her Royal Highness's actions immediately aroused the alarm of several powerful figures present, only Marquis Youxi watched this scene with a smile, he stood aside, raised the wine glass filled with a blood-like liquid, and said softly, "Viruysatt (jīng Lingyu: the show begins)-" But at this time, the movement outside the manor finally reached his ears, and he had been standing by the window alone after greeting Brando, so he was the first to notice the movement outside, and he looked back, I happened to see the movements of the royal knights, and suddenly my face changed drastically.
Griffiin turned his gaze to Brando, "It seems that the former glory of Swallow Castle can be further improved, I really envy your luck, and Deerferry." Is this your knight, why didn't I see it last time? There was a hint of envy and regret in her silver eyes, but her voice was calm and full of sincere blessings.
Everyone present knew why Her Royal Highness the Princess would say that.
A young man who stepped into the golden realm at the age of twenty was not unavoidable even if it was regarded as an elemental civilization-level power, because a genius like this would definitely reach that step eventually. The Korkova royal family originally had more power than many princes under the rule of the dynasty, but after the separation of the north and the south, Griffiin knew very well that he might not have more power in his hands than the dukes. In fact, it was not the crossman Buga who joined, and her situation was even more bleak.
But Buga is not in the service of the royal family after all, and Her Royal Highness the princess of Eruin knows this better than anyone else, and she looks at Brando, and for a moment she can't help but feel sad and jealous, why God always does not want to favor the royal family of Corcova, even at this moment when the dynasty is shaking. Obviously, for the sake of the country and her brother's future, she can even sacrifice a qiē, including her life and body, can she even disdain such a determination?
But Dilferry's face darkened, and she nodded: "Because my father hasn't considered whether to arrange a knight for me last time, you haven't seen him, sister." ”
Brando couldn't help but glance at Mademoiselle Countess, probably not expecting her to lie without changing her face.
"I see," Griffey seemed to notice something, she looked up, and suddenly squinted her eyes at Brando, "I don't know why, although I haven't seen you before, I always think you're very familiar...... It's weird. ”
Brando immediately felt two sharp eyes fall on him, his body tensed slightly, but when he looked over, he found Macaro and Leigh Woods standing behind the princess, the two old and cunning old foxes obviously recognized him. However, Brando was not nervous, but relaxed, he didn't wear makeup today, just to give Macarro and Liwuz a chance to meet Her Royal Highness the princess.
Brando knew that neither the Siphah royal family nor the Corkova royal family would give up the whereabouts of the Lionheart, and when he triggered the artifact reaction, Liwoods and Macaro were also present, and he believed that Eliwoods' knowledge would soon determine that the movement he caused must be related to the Lionheart, in fact, from the appearance of Eruin's envoys in the Green Tower, it means that Obergu VII may have been aware of it, and as his only favorite NV, Brando didn't believe Princess Griffiin knew anything about it.
Now that the parties involved in this matter are in front of them, he believes that the royal party will definitely make a move.
But Brando had no idea that the Lionheart Sword had already been in Freya's possession, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with such an idea. It's just that the royal party blocked the news too well, and there are not many people who know the Lionheart Sword, and it was she herself who attracted attention instead of the sword in her hand when Freya's appearance at the knights' conference was concerned, and it was for this reason that Brando's misunderstanding today.
For Her Royal Highness's question, Brando is not going to answer. He now played the role of Dilferry's retainer, and although the princess's question was asked to him, he was not qualified to speak here, so he set his eyes on Dilferry, who replied with a little embarrassment: "Your Royal Highness, Princess......"
Griffiin smiled, "Dilferry, are you still worried that I will dig into your corner?" ”
"Of course not." Miss Count's heart said that this is not necessarily, in fact, the world does not know that the royal family of Corkova and the Yanbao family have always been very close, this is one of the biggest secrets of the royal family, she and Griffiin have known each other since childhood, and they know the competitiveness of this princess. It's just that if Brando is really her subordinate, she will definitely not be at ease with this 'sister', but anyway, she knows that Brando has nothing to do with her, so she will be perfunctory.
At this time, a slender figure separated the crowd and approached the princess. Brando saw clearly that it was a middle-aged man wearing a black dress, a slightly long face, and sharp eyes, and his status was definitely not low to be able to enter and exit here, but what made him strange was that he felt a little familiar when he looked at the other party, so he couldn't help but take a second look; His attention caught the other man's attention, and Overwell turned his head, and then was slightly startled - Brando didn't recognize him, but he recognized Brando - he was none other than Lord Overwell, the wolf who had a relationship with Brando in Richenburg, and he had praised Brando's talent in front of Griffithine, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Brando here today.
"How could this guy be here?" The nobleman, who was known for his jīng Ming, frowned, and the first thing that came to mind was the identity of the knight of the Brando's Highlands.
"Overwell, what's going on?" The princess noticed Overwell's god Sè and couldn't help but remind her.
Sir Wolf gave Brando a deep look—wolves will always remember their prey—and Overwell's eyes made Brando frown. He didn't know where he had met this guy, but the other party obviously recognized him, but he still wanted to make sure that Overwell had turned his head - Brando only saw the other party and the princess make a glance.
"There's an accident outside, let everyone avoid it." Overwell's voice wasn't high, but it unexpectedly drowned out the already whispering voices in the hall, quieting everyone down.
"What's wrong?" Griffy's pretty brows furrowed together, this is the territory of the temple, if something happens, then it must not be a trivial matter.
"There are heretics out there." Overwell replied.
Heathen?
With a bang, the whole hall seemed to be set on fire, the Temple of Flame was not exclusive, except for the five temples that did not interfere with each other, some small sects or mystical cults were mostly allowed to spread between various countries, but there was often only one heretic in the mouth of the five temples, and that was the cultists who followed the dragon of twilight or darkness. Regardless of how the cultists could appear in the central area under the jurisdiction of the temple, it was rumored that most of the cultists were cruel, evil and crazy, and of course most of the nobles present were unwilling to be buried with these madmen, so some nobles even screamed for a while.
Not to mention these ordinary nobles, even Griffiin and Brando couldn't help but be surprised. Her Royal Highness Princess Eruin was surprised how the cultists could enter the venue, but Brando was surprised that nothing like this had ever happened in history, so the latter was even more shocked in comparison.
"What the hell is going on?" Griffiin knew this well when she saw that the monks of the temple had begun to maintain order on the scene, and several of them were in the center of the hall, where she could not see the outside of the manor even if she wanted to look out, so she asked directly.
But the lone wolf, who had always been known for his jīng Ming, shook his head this time as well.
Not to mention him, in fact, even Nimesis, who first discovered these cultists, didn't know exactly what was going on at the moment. She originally deduced from the information she got from Freya's mouth that Brando and the others must have bad intentions towards Her Royal Highness the Princess, and immediately ordered her knights to prepare to protect the royal party in the hall, but she didn't expect that her order had just been given, and as soon as the knights drew their swords, the entire manor was immediately closed.
Those cultists seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, they had previously disguised themselves as all kinds of characters, some were nobles' retinues, some were even the guards of the manor, as soon as they saw the knights under the princess draw their swords, they immediately drew their swords, and then as if they were premeditated, the soldiers divided into two ways and killed the knights of the royal family, and all the way the soldiers and horses directly killed into the manor, and the monks in charge of the manor did not expect that the guards brought by the nobles would be enemies, so they suffered heavy casualties under the sight of them.
As soon as this scene happened, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Only Nimesis decided that this was the failure of Brando's group's plan, so the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry - she was a qualified soldier, and without a trace of panic at the moment, she immediately drew her long sword and gave an order to everyone around: "Don't entangle with these guys, their target is the nobles in the hall, all the knights obey the order, immediately open a hole, follow me-"
With that, she stabbed out with a sword, piercing the heart of a cultist who pounced on her, and then instantly chōu returned to the sword, without even a trace of blood on the sword. The action was so fast that even the people around him didn't have time to see it clearly.
At this moment, there were many noble guards present, but they were stunned by the shocking scene in front of them for a while, and at this moment, when they heard such a voice from the scene calmly and firmly ordered, they immediately reacted and pulled out their weapons one after another to kill; It is not that Nimesis can order these guards by taking advantage of the prestige of the royal family, it is entirely because most of the nobles who can participate in the Anlek Conference are of extraordinary status, and the nobles in the hall cannot afford to injure even one of them.
After all, the cultists who stayed outside were a minority, and as more and more aristocratic guards joined the battle, the temporary defensive line they had built on the periphery suddenly opened several long openings. But the aristocratic guards were not happy at all, these cultists lived up to their murderous reputation, and at the last moment, they often had to fight back to death, and none of them fled in a daze, and when they thought that such murderers had killed many people and entered the manor, everyone present couldn't help but feel heavy.
Due to the strength of the temple, the nobles were ordered to leave most of the guards outside the manor, and at this moment, the accident suddenly happened, and everyone present couldn't help but curse the fire temple for its hún behavior.
Nimesis was no exception, her brows furrowed, although Her Royal Highness the princess was by her side, but wizards were always inferior to warriors in close proximity, especially that young man was still a golden rank or even a strength of the civilized element, and when he was close enough to the princess, Master Lewoods would probably not have time to stop it. She pressed her long sword in her hand, and even her knuckles turned white, and when the royal knight broke through the direction of the cultists, she immediately attacked the manor.
The black-haired NV knight couldn't help but look left and right with some anxiety, but at this time, he found Freya in a daze on the side, "Freya! "Nimesis seemed to have found a place to vent; She is one of the few people in the royal party who knows the true background of this young NV from Butcher, the 'Scepter of Fire' Everton is one of the real pride of the royal party, it can be said that without Everton, there would be no royal party today, and for this Everton's only blood relative, Nimesis has some complicated feelings.
Freya doesn't always satisfy her, and although she appreciates the other party's efforts, how can such a person hold up the honor of the 'Scepter of Fire', but she hesitates and hesitates, so how can such a person hold up the honor of the 'Scepter of Fire'? And what about that dream......
Nimesis shook her head and threw out her nervous thoughts, and she looked sternly at Freya, who seemed to react.
"In such a daze on the battlefield, you would have died ten thousand times." Her tone involuntarily became a little colder.
"I'm sorry, Sister Nimesis." Freya was startled and hurriedly replied, "I'm distracted by other things......
"Your explanation better convinces me." Nimesis replied.
"Archduke Anlek's guards," Freya whispered, frowning as she looked at the carriage, "Sister Nimesis, although they are attacking...... But the location next to the carriage - it is clear that the tactics class talked about the tendency to be closer to the defensive, which is the basis of what we have learned in the Eruin infantry canon, and the guards under the Grand Duke of Anlek are supposed to be of military origin, they are not unaware of this, right? ”
Nimesis's eyes lit up slightly, and she heard Freya's words and reacted immediately. It is impossible for so many cultists to appear inexplicably within the scope of the temple control, especially since these cultists have entered the guards with such a big move, they must have reached an agreement with a certain powerful figure behind them - the guards of the nobles are not so easy to replace, and there is a strong stench of yīn conspiracy behind it.
"Watch out for them." Nimesis replied coldly, but she secretly frowned, Her Royal Highness the Princess was negotiating with the Grand Duke of Anlek, and what intention did the other party express in this move? Or is it framed?
Thinking of this, she was silent, but she didn't know that Freya on the side was greatly relieved at this moment. The young NV from the countryside of Buchi was full of joy, thinking that Brando would not be bad for Her Royal Highness.
