Chapter 14: The Shocking Change in the Sky (Part II)
"Back to Your Highness, the Wild Lion, the Wild Lion Legion, the Wild Lion Legion left the garrison without permission and surrounded the palace!" the chief of the guard knelt on the ground and said in a panic and a little stumbling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What?" Not only the crown prince Ye Chenhao, but even Ling Chenyue and Ye Chenhuan beside him were stunned. The Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions has a strong army, with a total army of millions. The one who guards the imperial capital is, of course, the elite of the elite. It is the four major armies with the most military strength and the strongest combat power in the empire. At that time, it was called the Fourth Army of the Imperial Capital. They are the Tyrannosaurus Legion, the Wild Lion Legion, the Flying Phoenix Legion, and the Running Wolf Legion.
Each of the four major legions has 300,000 troops, taking turns to guard the imperial capital, and once a month, this month happens to be the turn of the Wild Lion Legion. At this time, for some reason, the Wild Lion Legion actually surrounded the palace. Although there were also Praetorian Guards in the palace, most of them were composed of noble sons and daughters of the nobles. These princes may have been superior in martial arts, far superior to ordinary legionnaires, but after all, they had never been on the battlefield, and there were less than two thousand in number, so the symbolism was greater than the actual significance.
"What are the Wild Lion Legions doing in the Imperial Palace?Is it Hua Zhenchang leading the army?" said the crown prince Ye Chenhao. Hua Zhenchang is the commander of the Wild Lion Legion, the Hua family is the premier family of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, and there is a little blood relationship with the royal family, and Hua Zhenchang is the elder of the Hua family, with the title of duke, and he is also an imperial general.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's not General Hua Zhenchang, although General Hua Zhenchang is also in the army, but ...... It seems that the Fifth Highness is leading the army!" the chief of the guard of the Forbidden Army replied.
"Chenhan?" Prince Ye Chenhao was slightly stunned, the leader turned out to be the fifth prince Ye Chenhan, who had not come for a long time, and Prince Ye Chenhao suddenly had a hint of foreboding. Turning his head to the second prince, he said to Ye Chenlian: "Second brother, you go into your father's study and see if the Nine Dragon Seal and the Heavenly Ce Scepter are still there." ”
The second prince was slightly stunned, then understood what the prince meant, with a look of disbelief on his face, nodded and turned around and walked quickly towards the study.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you doubt ......" Taifu Ling Chenyue asked in shock.
"I also hope that I have thought too much, Taifu, come with me to the outside of the palace and see what the fifth brother is going to do!" said the prince with a tight frown.
In the past, Soaring City was a city that never sleeps, and the bustling street market was still full of traffic even late at night. However, on this night, all the residents who were wandering the streets were driven home by teams of heavily armed soldiers, and a curfew was imposed in Lingxiao City this night!
No one knew what was happening, but no one dared to disobey the orders of the Imperial Army. No matter how powerful a magician or a samurai is, or any other force, he would never dare to challenge the authority of Jiangnan, one of the three major empires.
Outside the Lingxiao Palace, the towering magic lamps make the vision unobstructed even at night, and it can be clearly seen in the palace that more than 100,000 soldiers are all fully armed, and thousands of magicians are all holding magic wand scrolls, which will make the entire Lingxiao Palace surrounded by water. The strong bow and crossbow are wound, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds are unsheathed!
At the main gate of Lingxiao Palace, 10,000 cavalrymen riding giant lions and demonic beasts were surrounded by several figures who were obviously high-level. Led by two people, one was a strong man about forty years old, dressed in golden lion-faced chain armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd. Under the crotch is an extraordinarily majestic lion with hair burning like a raging flame. Beside him was a young man of about twenty years old, tall and handsome, dressed in a magnificent aristocratic samurai suit, with an equally luxurious sword hanging from his waist.
These 10,000 people are the most powerful force of the Wild Lion Legion, the Wild Lion Division, every soldier in the division has at least the strength of a mid-level samurai, and the mount is a very fierce Monster Wild Lion. The Wild Lion is only an earth-type mid-level magical beast, and is not good at attacking magic. However, its defense and resilience are excellent, and although it is not good at attack magic, it is extremely capable of hand-to-hand combat. With such a large team of Warcraft Knights, it is also eye-catching to look at the entire continent.
The man riding the Flame Lion and holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd is Hua Zhenchang, the head of the Wild Lion Legion, the top master of the Heaven Fighter level, and the mount is a close relative of the super-level Demonic Beast Chiyan Demon Lion, and he is also the Flame Madness Lion of the Super-level Demonic Beast. The Flame Mad Lion is inferior in strength compared to ordinary super-level demonic beasts, but super-level demonic beasts are super-level demonic beasts after all, and they are far from being comparable to ordinary demonic beasts.
And that young man is naturally the Fifth Highness of the Empire, Ye Chenhan.
"Fifth Highness, after tonight's deed, don't forget what you promised me!" Hua Zhenchang said indifferently, but the fanaticism in his eyes was difficult to hide.
"General Hua, my father-in-law, you can rest assured, the empire has not been at war for a long time, the position of marshal has been idle for a long time, tonight it will be done, General Hua has the merit of the dragon, this marshal, His Royal Highness will naturally not be stingy!" Ye Chenhan smiled lightly and comforted Hua Zhenchang.
At this moment, the palace gate was wide open, and a team of forbidden soldiers came out of the door with shields in hand to block the front, followed by an old man and a young man walking out of the palace gate, but it was the prince Ye Chenhao and Taifu Ling Chenyue.
"General Hua, Chenhan, what are you going to do!" Prince Ye Chenhao glanced at the Wild Lion Mission in front of him, looked at the endless soldiers and magicians in the air in the distance, and asked in a flat tone.
"Big brother, can't you see this?" the fifth prince smiled lightly, looked at Ye Chenhao with interest and said. Hua Zhenchang was expressionless and didn't say a word.
"Without dispatching, leading the troops to surround the palace without authorization, it is to plot rebellion, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will blame you, and your life will not be guaranteed!" Taifu Ling Chenyue stared at the Fifth Prince and Hua Zhenchang Dao tightly.
"Master Taifu, I respect you very much, you'd better not interfere in this matter, after this time, I will ensure that you are still ranked as the third duke!" Ye Chenhan smiled faintly and said: "As for my father, can he still blame me?"
At this moment, a palace guard stepped forward and whispered something in the prince's ear, and Ye Chenhao's face immediately changed.
Ye Chenhan observed the prince's expression, and said with a smile: "How is it, eldest brother, but the father, the emperor has already done a great job?"
"You ......" Ye Chenhao stared at Ye Chenhan tightly, and at this time he thought of a terrifying possibility. Just now, the palace people did come to report that His Majesty the Emperor had died!
He had discussed the emperor's condition with Taifu before, and it was a strange magic. At that time, he was still thinking about what kind of person could unknowingly attack the well-defended emperor around him, and no one noticed. At this time, in connection with the situation in front of him, could it be that it was the fifth brother Ye Chenhan who started?
"Brother Huang doesn't have to guess, I might as well tell you directly, I am the one who attacked my father!" The fifth prince Ye Chenhao faintly said the terrifying news of killing his father and killing the king.
"You...... You ......" Although he had already guessed, when Ye Chenhan really said it, the prince was still frightened and his face turned pale: "That's my father, it's you and my father, you actually, you actually ......"
"Brother Huang, I'm going to blame you for this!" Ye Chenhan's tone was still light, and he seemed to say this innocuous little thing: "Who called, my father made you the crown prince? Just because you were born a few years earlier than me? Actually, I was going to deal with you, but I couldn't help it, my plan was discovered by my father, and he wanted to demote me to the northern border as a lord in a small place that didn't even have a city, just to protect you, hehe, no way, then I had to get rid of him. In this way, my father is gone, who can stop me from ascending the throne and becoming emperor?"
"Brute!" "The crown prince's forehead jumped with blue tendons: "Do you really think that you can seize the throne with just a single army of wild lions?"
"Since I dared to come, I naturally expected your Dragon Guard, Imperial Brother!" Ye Chenhan smiled disdainfully: "When I am as stupid as you, will I come with only one army of wild lions?"
The crown prince was slightly stunned, and at this time, the second prince hurriedly ran out of the palace: "Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, Tiance and Nine Dragon Seals are all here......" said and handed one into the prince's hand, with a scepter and a boxy box written on it.
When the prince heard that these two things were still there, his expression eased slightly.
The biggest secret and most powerful power in the Western Regions is the possession of twelve Heavenly Guard Scepters and a Nine Dragon Seal handed down from ancient times.
The origin and principle of the twelve Celestial Guard Scepters are unknown, but each of them can summon an army of Celestial Guards, and the number varies. The twelve scepters were kept in the hands of the Emperor, Empress, Imperial Marshal, Crown Prince, and eight feudal officials. The strongest of them is the Heavenly Guard, which is in charge of the Son of Heaven, and can summon 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Soldiers is extremely amazing, and the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers are comparable to more than one million of the other most elite troops in the Aegean!
Feng Xiangwei, which was kept by the queen, Long Xiangwei, which was kept by the prince, and Yu Linwei, who was supposed to be kept by the marshal, could each summon 50,000 heavenly soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was comparable to that of Tiancewei. Although the number is not as good, it is not bound by the Tiance Guard. These three guards are called the upper three guards, and although the upper three guards are not under the jurisdiction of the Tian Ce Guard, they need the help of the holder of the Tian Ce Wei to complete a special ritual and become the master of the upper three guards. However, Tian Cewei can only be sealed, and it cannot deprive these three guards of using all their strength.
In addition to the above four guards, the other eight guards scepter can also summon 50,000 heavenly soldiers, but the combat power is slightly inferior to the first four guards, but against the general soldier battle formation, it can still be easily won by one ten!
The Nine Dragons Seal is a treasure corresponding to the Twelve Guards. Only by obtaining the recognition of the Nine Dragon Seals through a very special ceremony, and then completing another ritual through the Nine Dragon Seals, can the Heavenly Guard be used.
The Nine Dragon Seals have the right to suppress Feng Xiangwei, Long Xiangwei and Yu Lin Wei, and the upper three guards cannot be enemies of the holders of the Nine Dragon Seals. As for the other Eight Guards Scepter, they are not subject to the Nine Dragon Seals. Anyone who gets the scepter can become the master of the scepter through a special magical ritual. When the master dies, the person closest to him will automatically become the owner of the scepter.
In this way, the Twelve Guards and the Nine Dragon Seals form a delicate balance. The Nine Dragon Seals themselves have no attack power, but only through the Nine Dragon Seals can one gain the ownership of the Heavenly Guard. The upper three guards are not afraid of the Heavenly Guard, but they cannot be the enemy of the Nine Dragon Seals, and the lower eight guards are not afraid of the Nine Dragon Seals nor the upper three guards, but they cannot be the enemy of the Heavenly Guards.
In addition, the Twelve Guards must rely on the Nine Dragons Seal to instill magical power, which can be used three times each time.
Ye Chenhao was originally worried that Ye Chenhan had stolen the Nine Dragon Seals and Tiance Guard after murdering his father. Although it takes a very complicated magic ritual to become the master of the Nine Dragon Seals, it is not absolutely impossible if Ye Chenhan is prepared. Now that Tian Cewei and the Nine Dragon Seals are there, Ye Chenhao is also relieved, although Tian Cewei and the Nine Dragon Seals he can't use, but Long Xiangwei can, Long Xiangwei can summon 50,000 heavenly soldiers, although the Wild Lion Legion is the elite of the elite, but there is no chance of victory against the Dragon Guard.
As for the leader of the Wild Lion Legion, the Heavenly Fighter Hua Zhenchang and Ye Chenhao were not worried, the guards of the forbidden army were all top experts, and Taifu Ling Chenyue was a top master at the level of the Great Demon Master, which was enough to suppress Hua Zhenchang and other masters in the legion.
"Brother Great Emperor is a lot more relieved to find out that Tiance and the Nine Dragon Seals are here?" Ye Chenhan looked at Ye Chenhao, who had a soothing face, and smiled lightly, and at the same time, the ring on his hand flashed with colorful light, and another golden scepter with Feng Xiang written on it appeared in his hand: "But when Brother Great Emperor sees Feng Xiangwei in my hand, is he still at ease?"
