045 Sudden Change
Prince Ferdinand came to the podium and stood still, he tried to stand up straight, this podium was very strangely designed, the high podium blocked most of the speaker's body, leaving only a small head exposed on the table.
Unlike most typical Deciks, Prince Ferdinand was not born tall, and was even a little short, and in the eyes of the Decirts, this Prince Ferdinand was not at all "like an emperor".
Fortunately, he has been the crown prince for many years, this scene can not scare Ferdinand, he looked around, only to see that the nobles of the surrounding business alliance, large and small, were all looking at him intently, and the appearance of waiting patiently made him a little satisfied, so he cleared his throat and straightened his spine.
Feida in the audience rested her head on Kerster's back and leaned lightly, "I really don't want to hear this pervert." Kerst smiled slightly, he was curious about what this Desick crown prince would say on such an occasion.
"Greetings to all the ministers and ambassadors of the Business Alliance. Ferdinand's beginning was a little dull, and his deep voice was not so clear in the venue, and the envoys in the back row, trying to stretch their necks, wanted to hear more clearly. Fortunately, Ferdinand didn't care about this: "I, at this moment, have come on behalf of De Sick's friendship. ”
Kerster's attention was all on Prince Ferdinand, and Count Munch and Ferda were by his side, listening attentively.
Just when Kester was concentrating, suddenly there was a "squeak" mechanical transmission sound, clearly coming from the back roof of Kester, this mechanical transmission sound was so harsh, that the nobles on this half of the venue all turned their heads to look, curious about what was going on.
In fact, the mechanical sound only lasted for a moment, and almost at the moment when everyone turned their heads, Koster saw a bright light flash on the roof, and he only heard an earth-shattering roar in his ears: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be careful!" The next moment, a cold light roared over Koster's head, bringing a sharp whistling sound, and flew towards the podium.
In an instant, Kerst suddenly woke up, this is for Prince Ferdinand?
Faster than the arrows are the samurai of Desik. When the cold light flashed through the air, I saw a warrior behind the prince, swooping forward with force, pressing Ferdinand under him fiercely, and at the same time shouting loudly, "There are assassins!"
The remaining Desik warriors reacted, quickly drew their scimitars, and surrounded the podium.
The main organizer of the venue, Ambassador Manning, was stunned, but fortunately, he reacted fairly quickly, and immediately raised his shout: "Guards!"
However, because of the arrival of Prince Ferdinand, this time in order to show the sincerity of the business alliance, during the official convening of the meeting, the door of the venue was closed, and all the guards could only wait outside the venue, and there were only guards accompanied by the envoys in the venue. At this time, several nobles who were close to the door had already rushed to the door to open the door for help, but they were surprised to find that a strange black mist shrouded the door of the venue.
The axe-wielding man outside the house, hearing the loud noise in the hall and sensing that something was wrong, several guards rushed to the door, but found that they could not push the door open, and the leading officer, in a hurry, hurriedly arranged for someone to reload his weapons, and at the same time immediately informed the palace.
In the venue, Kerst began to feel a foul smell, Count Munch was beside him, lowered his head and asked Kerster, "Why is it so unpleasant, a sour smell?" Kerster reacted quickly, and immediately remembered the smell of the dark mage back then, and secretly said, not good!
The Desik Guards surrounded Prince Ferdinand, their piercing eyes scanning the surroundings, alert for danger in the crowd. The ministers of various countries got up in a noisy and scattered in all directions.
Kestra caught Feida and Munch, and the three of them crouched under the table together, and whispered, "It's dangerous, don't move yet." ”
At the venue, the nobles who knew the goods had already recognized the cold light just now, which came from the "Divine Crossbow", a sharp weapon to defend the city. Only a killing machine that uses mechanical power, such as the Divine Crossbow, can release such a huge amount of energy. Fortunately, the Desik warriors had excellent martial skills and quick reactions, which narrowly saved Prince Ferdinand's life.
It was too late, and suddenly several men in black stood up in the crowd, their whole bodies shrouded in black robes, and on their heads were a top hat. I saw them come out of the crowd and draw their weapons. Kester glanced at it, one, two, three, four, five, a full five.
Compared with the identity of ordinary guards, the martial arts of this group of people were very problematic at a glance, and I saw that the leader jumped out of the crowd, holding a steel long sword in his hand, and broke into the crowd of Desik warriors, and swung away with a sword. The sword light was shining, making people have no time to react, and the light brought up a bloody light, and when the lightning was too fast to cover his ears, three heads flew up in the air.
"Ahh
The other Assassins seemed to have a lot of trust in the leader's martial arts, and he was the only one who jumped into the group of Desik warriors, and the rest of the group had no intention of helping. There were also two men in black, chanting incantations on their lips, and the strong sour and rancid smell brought a dizzying mist that enveloped the nobles. The remaining two, each of whom never knew where, took out a beautiful longbow and pulled the bowstring hard, only to see that on the bowstring, a black streamer arrow body gradually took shape, and the arrow flashed with a strange red light.
As soon as the two of them loosened their bowstrings, two cold rays of light flew towards the crowd again, so fast that the Desik warrior did not react at all, and was instantly pierced through several people. After the arrow body came into contact with the last human body, it quickly dissolved like an ice cube, leaving only the pierced person, with a horrific laceration wound on his body, the size of a bowl, and the smell of burning.
The leader of the Desik warriors, his eyes tearing apart in anger, shouted, "Formation!"
The warriors quickly came to Prince Ferdinand's side, raised their scimitars, and formed a human wall with flesh and blood.
The samurai leader stepped forward himself, held up the leading assassin, and fought several swords, and the samurai leader retreated again and again before he blocked the killing momentum.
The personal guards of the nobles present, including a few martial artists, reacted, and immediately drew their personal weapons and killed the black-clothed people around them. However, on such occasions, most of the weapons they brought were ceremonial swords, and they did not take advantage of them. I saw that the two black-clothed magicians who were reciting the incantation, one of them continued to recite the incantation, and the other turned to them, stretched out his hand, and flicked his fingers a few times, and the long swords of the leading few people were suddenly infected with a black gas, and then simply broke from it.
Immediately afterwards, the foreheads of these people were also dyed with black gas, and in a moment, there was a black round hole on the forehead, and blood flowed out along the round hole. Several samurai froze, then collapsed.
Seeing the fate of several young samurai, the rest of the nobles present were frightened and did not dare to move. The man in black, revealing his scarlet tongue, licked the corners of his lips a few times, revealing a mouthful of black teeth: "Truly, I see who dares to move." ”
The two men in black, one suppressed the nobles, and the other kept chanting the spell, which should be to maintain the enchantment around it, and the warriors outside can't get in, and the nobles inside can't get out.
The other two archers, besieging Prince Ferdinand, pierced a Desik warrior with every arrow they fired. But they still managed to maintain the human front, and protecting the prince's life was the most important thing. For now, they could only count on their leader to kill the Assassin who had come closer.
The scene was at a stalemate.
Koster, pulling Munch and Feida, hid under the front row of seats, Koster, trying to think of a way, how to get out of danger. Felda touched Koster and pointed to his waist, signaling that he had a weapon. Kerst shook his head, not letting Feida move, and he whispered to the two of them, "We can't do it alone." Those dozen Desik warriors, it seems that they are not enough to kill, and they must find a way to let outside help in. ”
At this moment, outside the venue, inside the city of Manning, the alarm was loud, the street security team shrieked (Note 1), and the bronze bell at the head of the city was also ringed, and the guards of Manning City quickly assembled and marched in the direction of the venue. The adventurers of the Adventurers' Guild, hearing the sirens, rushed into the streets to find out what was going on.
No one noticed that at the top of the Adventurer's Guild, there was also a man in black standing in horror, he looked at the guards who were urgently assembled in the streets and alleys, and smiled: "Let me have some fun for you, don't disturb the grand event over there." ”
The man in black, who is also a magician, was chanting a spell, and in his hand, a black ball of light gradually took shape, and with a strong push, the ball of light left the palm of his hand and quickly flew towards a building in the distance.
The guards and security teams gathered on the side of the road were running, and suddenly they heard a loud bang in the distance, and a black column of smoke rose into the air. The leading officer, seeing the direction of the smoke column, shouted "Oops!
All the guards and security teams, almost at the same time as they saw the black pillar of smoke, all turned around and rushed back to the Manning Palace. The palace and the venue were attacked at the same time, and even a fool knew what to choose.
The axe-wielding hand outside the venue also heard a loud noise at the same time, saw the black pillar of smoke, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. The subordinates did not dare to stop, and smashed the door of the venue with a giant axe, and a rumbling sound was heard into the venue.
Koster was still lying on the spot, but his mind was spinning rapidly. The current situation is that there is no reinforcement outside, no helpers inside, and for the sake of the current plan, it is necessary to kill the two mages who chanted the spell first. Koster looked at Feida, poked his head out again, and looked at the battle in the center of the hall, where more than half of the Desik warriors were killed and wounded, and the samurai leader was almost unable to resist.
"No, it can't go on like this, Feida, you come with me. Kerst hesitated for a moment, then said categorically.
Pulling Feida, the two of them slowly crawled towards the two magicians above the venue along between the seats in the venue, and at the same time, said to Feida: "Feida, you follow me, listen to my command and action for a while, I think, I have a way." ”
Note 1: The security team uses a whistle to send out a warning signal, which is a sharp mouthpiece that can play a good role in alarming.
