The gates of the city of Babs have been opened, and nobles from all over the world have rushed to the royal capital of the Mara kingdom to attend the coronation ceremony of the new king of the Monar family, and at the same time swear allegiance to the new king, which is a contract between the Monar family and the major feudal nobles of the Mara kingdom hundreds of years ago.

The city is full of lights and strong defenses, because it is an important moment for the succession of the king, the city guards are deployed throughout the city, and although there are many people of all kinds who pour into the city, but under the inspection of the city defense troops that can be seen everywhere, the law and order are more stable than usual.

Recently, however, the city defense army seems to have had a lot of conflicts with the king's guard over the defense of the royal city, and the prince Ardnos Monal, who has not yet succeeded to the throne of the king, heard that he was extremely dissatisfied with Hans, the commander of the city defense army, but because he had not yet been crowned, he could not exercise the king's rights and remove Hans as the city defense officer.

And Cardinal Pete, the cardinal of the diocese of the kingdom of Mara, had arrived in Babs City in a hurry with a whole team of knights of light and several priests last night, and the knights led by the lords of various places gathered in Babs City, and in all castles in the city, you could see the neighing of war horses, and a knight with a long sword shuttling in it.

Inside the city defense hall, it was already early in the morning, and the sky was about to turn white, but an emergency meeting was still being held, and the participants were not only the insiders of the city defense army, but also some nobles of the Mara Kingdom, and a middle-aged priest of the Church of Light in a white robe.

"The other party has a total of a thousand high-level ghoul legions, and an unknown number of ordinary ghouls, at least no less than two thousand, I counted the number of missing people in the city and outside the city during this time, it is probably this number, so many people can disappear quietly, we didn't notice it."

"The other party is very careful, and most of the targets are people who don't pay much attention, and we didn't expect that they would specifically target outsiders."

"Are our men already in place?"

"It's been arranged to all the predetermined locations, and none of their ghouls in the underground waterways can I guarantee they won't be able to climb up."

"King's Guard...... Well, what are we going to do with those high-level ghouls? ”

At the conference table, everyone continued to speak and discuss, and when the question of the King's Guard was discussed, the pastor of the Church of Light on the side immediately spoke, representing Cardinal Pete, the cardinal.

"The 3,000 cavalry of the 3rd Church Regiment have been drawn and have now arrived in the forest not far from here, and the thirty members of the Priesthood have all entered the city of Babs and are ready to respond to your actions, but Bishop Pete told you that no matter what, you must keep the casualties in the city to a minimum." The middle-aged pastor's speech was like a final word, calming everyone's minds.

Hans, the city defense officer, touched his big head like a light bulb, and his face showed joy: "In this case, we are already invincible, and what we have to do at present is how to reduce the casualties of this operation, and we have to take into account the civilians living in the entire Babs operation, the slightest mistake may affect thousands of ordinary people, I don't want to see a devastated Babs City after this operation." ”

The sky turned white little by little, and after so long no rest, everyone was a little tired, but they didn't dare to slack off at all, watching the overall layout and plan improve little by little, taking into account all aspects and safety issues, just waiting for the coronation ceremony to give Adenos a fatal blow.

Edward, as a consultant hired by Hans, suddenly spoke at this time: "The plan is perfect, but there is a problem. ”

At this moment, Edward looked extremely tired, he hadn't slept for a long time, maybe since Hathaway's death, he couldn't sleep, he wanted to find Adenos, and ask him face to face why he did all this, at the same time, he also knew that if it came to witchcraft and power, he couldn't be the opponent of Ardenos, Yadenos was a second-level wizard, and he was currently only a first-level wizard, and there was still some distance from the second-level.

Although the gap between the spiritual power scale is not large, but this one of the thresholds, the combat power has opened a distance, and Adenos is a type that specializes in lethal witchcraft, and has now expanded his own path, mastering the extraordinary bloodline of ghouls and the powerful power of ghouls, Edward wants to defeat Ardnos, it is impossible at all, but the dream witchcraft notes left by Lu Zhiyu give him this possibility.

Edward has been reading and analyzing the witchcraft notes of the landing fish day and night in the past few days, and in a small notebook, there are dense records of various complex witchcraft principles and formulas, as well as the details and taboos of the use of dream witchcraft, and the practice methods of dream witchcraft and cursed witchcraft.

And he actually developed his own hole card according to the dream witchcraft of Lu Zhiyu, although it is very rough and imperfect, how to use the effect of counter-eating, Edward is not clear, but he knows that the power must be huge, this is the hole card that Edward wants to use at a critical moment, he doesn't want to use it in the end.

Edward's sudden interruption made everyone's eyes look at him, the large amount of information and information about ghouls he provided before allowed them to grasp the opportunity, and it was the anti-poisoning potion provided by Edward that cured many ordinary people in the city who had been infected with ghoul corpse poison, so that this more terrible existence than the plague was contained, and it also made people begin to value his opinion, especially when Edward revealed that he was a disciple of the legendary medical pioneer Pol Klermo, It also made everyone trust him a little more.

Hans asked, "Is there anything missing?" ”

Edward immediately said: "Although the other party does not know our overall plan at present, but must have known the purpose of our discovery, in this case, how can the other party sit back and wait, let us calmly lay out these days, this is very unreasonable, I am worried that the other party may have a plan or means against us that we don't know in secret." ”

Everyone talked about it, and finally Hans said: "At present, we have not found any actions of the other party, and our people are also monitoring all the other party's every move day and night, as well as all the changes in the city, it is difficult for the other party to make any plans without attracting our attention under such a high degree of attention, so it is most safe to implement the current plan at present." ”

After the meeting, the sky also lit up little by little, everyone dispersed and left, and a large number of people in the entire city of Babs were immediately secretly mobilized, and the ordinary people of Babs City still got up early to welcome the new day and cheer for the coronation of the new king, and no one noticed what happened in this dark place.

--------------

In the forest dozens of miles away from the city, in a hidden valley, a temporary military camp appeared, and a large number of knights wearing armor and sun-patterned cloaks appeared

They set up camp here, and the horses drank water by the stream.

Several knights took off their helmets and carried buckets of water to prepare for cooking, and the creek was near the waterhole, where they were stationed, and it was precisely because of the convenience of the place where the water was fetched, and thousands of soldiers were eating and chewing horses, and there was not enough water.

"Ya~ya~"

The strange and vicissitudes of sound came from the stone next to the waterhole, and the soldiers who took the water immediately looked over and found that it was a strange crow with blood-red eyes, and the crow was known as a dead bird, which made them feel very taboo.

"Fuck off, don't stay here."

hurriedly fetched water back, but these soldiers did not notice that there was a faint trace of blood red in the pool of water they had hit, which gradually spread out and melted into it and disappeared.
