Chapter 10: The Attack on the Palace

() At this time, there were several owl calls from outside

A man and a woman who hugged each other tightly parted

Listen to this signal, my dear, it seems that they have already begun, and Frey says to Julian, at this point, the only thing she can do for her lover is to distract him with work and reduce his guilt

However, even if it was temporarily slowed down, it eventually left a huge mark on his heart, which would severely affect Julian's fate in the days to come

But the rest will come later, and now the man and woman are not idle, and they hurriedly removed the thick golden threads for decoration from the pile of smuggled performance clothes, and took out a bag of powder from the musical instrument that had been hidden inside

The thick golden thread was made of flammable flammable flax, and the powder hidden inside the instrument was white phosphorous powder, and with these two things, they knew what they were going to do in the palace without explanation

Marn led two Templar soldiers in their uniforms, and the corpse of an Imperium soldier with a back-pierced back—the soldier he had just been sent into the palace to ask the commander, but Marn did not let him run a hundred meters

The three of them ran to the top of the tower, and due to the angle problem, what happened at the gate of the palace was not witnessed by the soldiers on the tower, they only saw the soldiers guarding the gate put down the drawbridge and put a carriage in front of the gate, but now the carriage is still there, and the gate of the palace has not been opened, so these soldiers guarding the tower do not pay much attention to it

What kind of person, an emperor dressed as a captain blocked the way of the three of Marn, obviously these faces made the captain immediately alert, which part of you are

Commander Marn gave the captain a standard military salute, and the three of us were the new Guards Commander, and the Lord told us to report to the castle tower

The newcomer, the captain, was a little puzzled, you wait a minute, I will go to Shangfeng to understand the situation, and after speaking, the captain turned around and walked in the direction of the guard watchtower

However, betraying his back to the enemy is always the most stupid thing to do, apparently the captain did not realize that the enemy dared to sneak directly into the palace, which cost him his life completely

Just as the three of them strangled the emperor's life behind their backs, they accidentally made a slamming sound, which was not loud but was very clear in the quiet night

Something was happening there, and the cries of several guards were heard from the tower

It was the captain who accidentally fell, and Marn shouted as he pinched his nose

A few seconds later, three imperial soldiers appeared from the entrance of the building, and as soon as they saw the captain who had fallen to the ground, they hurriedly rushed over, two of them immediately helped the captain up, and the other asked Marn, who was standing nearby, how did he fall

The answer to him was a dagger stabbed into the kidney, if the person was slashed by a sharp weapon or stabbed into the heart, this person can still make a sound, but when the person is stabbed into the kidney, he (she) will never be able to scream, and the kidney stabbing also has the advantage that as long as the sharp weapon is not pulled out, the blood will not flow out - of course, these assassination common sense are taught by Frey

The two soldiers crouching next to the captain's body were treated in the same way, and after killing four in a row, Marn ordered the two soldiers to each carry two corpses and place them in a more hidden corner

They walked to the top of the tower, and a dozen soldiers guarding the tower were killed one after another

When Marn and the others took control of the tower, they let out a few cuckoo cries under the palace gate, and the group guarding the palace gate received the signal and immediately opened the city gate, and then saw more than forty black shadows that had been lurking in the neighborhood near the palace gate rushing in

At this time, in the palace, Julian and Frey acted separately

Julian lit the boxes of clothes and left them in Is's room, where he took one last look at Is, who was already lying dead on the bed, before leaving the room

The fire spread quickly, a row of dormitories dedicated to eunuchs and singers, and in less than a few minutes, they fell into a red fire, because at night eunuchs would generally leave the dormitory to practice or perform, so these dormitories did not have anyone to put out the fire in time after the fire, and the fire became bigger and bigger

Hurry up, there is a fire in the dormitory, go and put out the fire, the servants, soldiers and attendants in the palace found out about this unusual fire, and they immediately picked up buckets and ran to the scene of the fire one by one

Julian, who flashed to the side, looked at the people who were busy fighting the fire and did not take advantage of the situation to sneak attack, he looked to the other side and thought to himself: It's up to you to go down to Frey

Frey had already placed the white phosphorus-soaked oil hemp under the floor of some of the corridors leading to the eunuch's dormitory, and because the ignition point of white phosphorus was extremely low, the friction on the ground when these people ran quickly quickly ignited the white phosphorus buried in the floor, and the flames suddenly rushed out from under the floor

For a time, fires broke out everywhere in the palace

Why did the fire happen for no reason, the priests in the palace were also puzzled, their first thought was fire magic, but they didn't feel any elemental fluctuations around, obviously these were natural fires, so they didn't pay much attention to this fire at first - this is also the subtlety of Julian's use of white phosphorus to set fires

The whole palace was in chaos, and in the midst of the chaos, there were several teams of imperial guards wandering around secretly, they shouted fire fighting, fire fighting, while running in the opposite direction of the fire, after so many days, they had long remembered the topographical map of the palace, and even if they had never been to the palace, they would definitely not get lost

The leader of one of the Emperor teams of Marn heard someone shouting, and he immediately turned his head in the direction of the sound

Captain Marn immediately recognized the man as Julian, who was dressed in a Fayaru robe

How was it going, Julian immediately rushed forward and asked

Surprisingly, many of the expected obstacles did not appear, but this is also the strangest part

oh

All the guards, except those who stood guard, were sent to fight the fire, and they did not seem to have any intention of protecting the emperor, and Marn said something strange

It was indeed very strange why this was happening, Julian touched his chin and pondered

I heard that the emperor was playing chess with the prime minister, and it was said that no one was allowed to disturb the emperor while he was playing chess

In order to play chess, he even disregarded his own safety, could there be an ambush, which was unexpected by Julian

Don't worry, Captain, I've sent the fourth and fifth teams to infiltrate the vicinity of the Emperor's bedchamber, and as long as there is no ambush, we can immediately start to capture the Emperor
