Chapter 40: The Black Dragon Empire
"Yo! I said Imperial Sister, now you are the only one left to hold on to the imperial city, look at your fine skin and tender meat, if you surrender obediently, then I will definitely find a good husband for you after I board the plane, what do you think? ”
The last capital of the Black Dragon Empire, the outer city wall has been breached, and the army of the second prince has come to the inside and outside of the palace like a bamboo, as long as this wall is breached, Natiri and the current Black Dragon Empire Emperor will have no way out.
Since he learned that Black Dragon III was seriously ill, why did the second prince compete for the throne with the crown prince, set up a bureau to poison the prince, which made Black Dragon III furious and directly deprived him of his inheritance, and the second prince was ruthless and sent assassins to kill almost all the heirs in order, and Natiri was lucky to return to the palace after losing two mine mules. The second prince absorbed almost all the nobles and took advantage of the huge military advantage to besiege the palace, and it can be said that the overall situation has now been decided.
"Second prince, oh no, Your Highness, what you said is so good. The Seventh Princess has good skills and directly annexes a large area of land centered on Wind Cliff Castle, so I think it's better to marry her to the empire supported by the Mage Tower. ”
The second prince listened to the words of the nobleman next to him, and his heart was really happy, he was lying on a red and black soft bed that only the emperor could use, and there were all kinds of strange fruits next to him, which were being fed to him by the maids, the second prince was not stupid, but very smart, he had been planning for twenty years, and the forces of all parties were constantly for this day.
"No, she has the ability that I don't know, and you saw the dozen or so golems guarding the city, invulnerable, if you have to attack, you can only use a catapult to force it in, but then the imperial city is basically abandoned, although it's a pity, but the seventh sister can't stay."
The second prince pinched his beard, his eyes narrowed, and then beckoned his right hand, and a person walked out of the shadows, no one noticed, he bent down and stood respectfully beside the second prince, the second prince looked at him and said something, and then the person bowed slightly and threw himself into the shadows again, as if he had never existed.
"Father, wake up."
Natili looked a lot haggard, she sat in front of the bed of the third world, the imperial doctors were nervous steamed bun men, they were busy in the room, it was useless, the emperor was stunned, his body was already worse day by day, and now it is a miracle that there is no life.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you should also rest and rest, this is not a way."
"Thank you, but I can't sleep at all right now."
"Alas~!"
The maid walked out of the door gently, and the other maids gathered outside also hurriedly gathered around, the atmosphere in the palace was very bad, these maids were the children of some nobles, and now they can stay here purely for the interests of the family, waiting to see the political trend, and those families who have long been bought by the second prince have withdrawn their children from the palace, these people are actually pitiful, they are actually hostages.
Late at night, outside the door of the emperor's bedroom, two guards were snorting one after another, and the whole imperial city could be seen from the window, and bonfires were lit everywhere in the streets. And anyone who walked out of the imperial city, as long as they did not carry weapons, would be treated well by the second prince, and these two guards even had the intention of dropping their weapons and surrendering.
Suddenly, a burst of fragrance wafted by, and the eyes of the two soldiers, who were already very sleepy, became more and more sleepy, and finally the two of them supported their weapons and fell down the corridor, and this smell had just entered the dormitory, Natiri immediately became alert, took out a submachine gun and gas mask from the compressed bag given by the narrator, and turned over and hid behind the sofa according to the posture of the narrator.
There was a small crack in the door, and then a puff of green smoke came in, and gradually formed a human form in front of the emperor's bed. A mage covered in bandages suddenly appeared in the room, and Natiri, who had been robbed before, turned on the thermal vision on the mask and flashed out when the mage had his back to her.
"Bang!"
The first shot was deliberately shot at the mage's feet, and then pointed the muzzle of her gun at the mage, telling him to raise his hands, and the mage did so, all without words. Eventually, it was Natilly who spoke first, and Natiri's voice in the mask was slightly distorted.
"The assassin of the Mage Tower, did you underestimate me by sending only one of you?"
The mage sitting at the table did not reply, and in the dim light of the candle, he took the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water, held it to his lips, but did not drink it, and then looked at Natiri with dead fish eyes.
"Second Prince, I've been out of the Mage Tower for a long time."
"Are you going to assassinate me?"
"Hmph, you're dying anyway, what's the point of killing you?"
Natiri, finding the disdain in this man's words, pulled the trigger, and the bullet easily passed through the man's body, but this person's body did not bubble up, on the contrary, his face showed a strange smile.
Natiri, who reacted, crouched on the spot, and a flash of swords flashed from the original position of her neck, and then disappeared into the shadows again. Natiri, who rolled to the emperor's bedside, immediately poked her head out and saw a heat source in the shadow of the wardrobe, Natiri pulled the trigger without saying a word, and the sound of submachine guns resounded through the palace, and the guards stationed outside the palace saw the flash of light that erupted from the emperor's bedroom, and immediately flocked to it.
Moments later, the guards saw the Seventh Princess wearing a strange mask, examining the corpse of an assassin. One by one, they were amazed. You must know that it was the assassins of the Mage Tower who fell to the ground, except for the clergy of the Church of Light, almost no one could escape their assassination, these special mages are extremely good at using magic to cover themselves, I really don't know what the Seven Princesses who came back from a foreign country have learned this time.
After opening the window to make sure that there was no more hypnotic gas in the room, Natiri instructed the guards to wave the mage, and then threw it into the catapult on the city wall, and projected it towards the tent of the second prince, like a signal flare, the corpse drew a curve, and landed exactly near the tent of the second prince, and then as the sun rose, the second prince finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to let the soldiers attack the imperial city.
On the street, a battering ram like a log cabin made of wood was driven by manpower and began to hit the gates of the imperial city, but as in countless previous attempts, this battering ram did not hit the first time, and was broken into raw materials by several mining mules clinging to the city walls, and the fierce ion-cutting rays not only cut through the thick logs, but even cut into several pieces along with the soldiers inside.
However, the only difference between this time and usual is that when the battering ram fell apart, there was a huge explosion, the second prince changed his strategy, and a large number of rune stones filled with magic were pasted inside the battering ram, and the huge explosion directly returned the two mine mules at the head of the city to the state of parts, and by the way, the huge city gate was blown up at one time, and then the mage team of the second prince launched countless magic balls that could continue to produce smoke, and the city gate was filled with smoke for a while.
