When the assassination turned into a strong attack, the attacker lost the advantage of surprise and faced a situation like hitting his head on a steel plate.

In fact, the three soldiers sent back by Sophia had already reported the news, but King Duris still continued his previous patrol as if nothing had happened, in addition to confusing the enemy, but also to buy time to evacuate the crowd. When all the preparations have been completed, there is no need for Duris to cooperate with this scene.

Because of the precautionary preparations, the grassroots armed men of the Truth Society, who rushed to kill him, before they could see the faces of Duris and his family, were like moths to a fire, crashing into the dense defensive net woven by the King's personal guards, and were shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows flying from all directions.

After the first wave of more than 20 attackers had been slaughtered, the second wave of attackers had learned to be obedient and did not charge brainlessly, but roamed the periphery, looking for an opportunity, but their actions had already been anticipated. The outposts placed by the palace guards on the periphery played a role, and the attackers were all eliminated by the outposts before they could find a gap to break through.

But in this way, all the outposts were exposed, which facilitated the third and fourth waves of attacks that followed.

In the streets around the patrol, the raiders of the Order of Truth and the palace guards were slaughtered, but King Duris did not even draw his sword. Although this did not match the image of a brave king who had always charged ahead, Duris knew very well in his heart that the real battle had not yet come, and before that, it was not appropriate to draw his sword in advance.

Not only King Duris, but also Queen Catherine, who was with him, did not use her best flying sword, she could not waste her magic and physical strength in such a place, and now Catherine held the hand of her daughter Princess Dieucalyptus tightly, followed her husband Duris, and under the escort of the palace guards, she retreated to the camp step by step.

A few days ago, the palace was deep.

"What, you say the truth will kill you on Christmas Eve?!" Catherine trembled with urgency when she heard Duris say so lightly about a very serious matter.

"Shh......h Be soft, my daughter is already asleep. While calmly comforting his astonished wife, as if telling something that had nothing to do with him, Duris gently covered the bed with the quilt of Princess Dieucalyptus.

Looking at the sleeping little girl, realizing that she had almost woken her up just now, Catherine calmed down and said as softly as she could: "But didn't you say that the Society of Truth has already supported your family...... Well, has the family that has supported your mother's lineage for more than a thousand years?"

Duris looked at the closed window, and still answered the question: "The weather is getting colder, but it is not suitable for closing the window for a long time, and it is not good for this little guy's breathing." Just have two more stoves in the room tomorrow. ”

"Hey, is there a mistake in the information?" Catherine couldn't stand her husband's tricks, and tugged hard at the hem of his shirt.

The king patted the queen on the back of the hand, pulled her to his daughter's bedside, and sat down with her on the bed. Duris knew that the queen he had chosen was by no means the kind of woman who was shocked, but now she seemed so out of shape because she was too affectionate for her husband and cared for it. Thinking of this, it was Reese who smiled with gratitude, and then slowly got to the point: "There is nothing wrong with the information provided by my 'fish'. Over the years, I have turned a blind eye to the orders of the Truth Society, and have secretly destroyed dozens of hidden stakes they have placed in the Kingdom of Pole and the Fayale Empire. For the Truth Society, what I have done has constituted a betrayal, and for traitors, the Truth Society will only take one way, and that is to punish without hesitation. ”

"But you are also a king, even if the people of the Truth Society have the ability to reach the heavens, do they dare to openly assassinate the king in the capital of the mighty kingdom of Pole?"

"Catherine, you're taking it for granted. What is the king of a country? What is the Poeller Kingdom? No matter how powerful the current Poyler is, can it be stronger than the Rocard Empire? Their empress hadn't been killed just a few months ago. ”

"What? are you trying to say that Empress Ipeia of the Rokar Empire is also a member of the Truth Society?"

"I don't know Empress Ipeia, and I haven't been in contact with her, at most it's just a correspondence on the state papers. I didn't know her identity before, but I could see that Empress Ipea's death was in line with the truth would punish traitors. Therefore, I can be 100% sure that the woman named Ipeia must be a member of the Truth Society, and it is very likely that she will sit on the throne with the secret support of the Truth Society, just like me. ”

"I don't care about that woman, I care about you! If you know that the Truth Society will be doing something to you on Christmas Eve, why should the tour continue?"

"It's impossible to dodge the Truth Society's sanctions, and even if they can escape this time, they will give me a fatal blow when I am not looking, in a way that I don't know. Instead of guarding them day and night like a thief, it's better to fight them openly like this!"

"Since this is an uphill battle, let's settle her first. Catherine stroked her sleeping daughter's long hair.

"No, Di Yu has to join us on the tour, just like in previous years. Duris said categorically.

"Why?" Catherine instantly became nervous, "why did you let your daughter go into danger with us when such a dangerous thing happened? ”

"It's because it's so dangerous, that's why I have to take her with me. Truth will pervade, and no seemingly impermeable fortress can be safer than having her by our side. ”

When she said this, Duris's eyes were full of murderous energy, and Catherine clearly felt that her husband was determined to have a showdown with the other party, but at the same time, she also felt that Duris, who had always been fearless, was full of uneasiness and anxiety in his heart at this time. Catherine could hardly imagine how terrifying the Society of Truth was hidden in the Central Church.

What's even more terrifying is that at this time, Catherine inevitably thinks of the nightmare that her daughter Di Yu said she had some time ago.

"Daddy, Daddy bled a lot...... Shed a lot of blood ......"

"Uh-huh. Muttering a string of unintelligible words, Di Yu rolled over and continued to fall asleep, while also pulling Catherine's thoughts back to the real world. When she came back to her senses, she realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat.

At this time.

The troops stationed in the barracks in the city were largely paralyzed by the spider attack, and it was impossible to support the palace guards who were fighting alone, but due to the timely transmission of information, the garrisons outside the city were marching into the city to protect their allegiance to the king.

However, at the gates of Hansar City, this elite army, armed with heavy weapons, encountered an enemy that had never been seen before.
