Chapter 160: The Flames Soar into the Sky
readx;
The poison powder scattered in the air, the guests fleeing in all directions, and the guards pouring in from all sides, the whole banquet hall was thrown into chaos, and the more than 100 rebels were quickly dispersed, and no one cared who was lying on the ground screaming in despair.

The two rebels who had been blocking the window were killed by the influx of guards, with Dockery being the first to climb out of the window, and Fielder the last to jump out of the inner banquet hall. When Fidel turned around, he saw that the deputy head of the Church Order, Quiro, and the bishop sent by the Papal States had inhaled poisoned powder, and the former was even spitting blood, and it seemed that he was hopeless.
"Don't underestimate the rebels, Commander!" said Vittorio to Fid as he turned through the window, "Those rebels must be the masters of the Order, they have both poison and hidden weapons, and they will be killed if they are not careful." ”
At this time, countless Duchy guards poured in from outside the banquet hall, and the four of Fidel and his party walked briskly in the direction of the manor under the cover of several guards, and there were screams behind him—perhaps those rebel lurkers and rebel prisoners had special skills, but they still had no chance of winning against thousands or even tens of thousands of Duchy guards. The Duke of Oldington had already retreated, and the remaining guests had to pray for themselves not to touch the poisonous powder or the long knives of the rebels.
"A few adults are here to rest for a while," a captain of the guard brought the four of them to the manor's cocktail party, where there were still many low-status guests watching the situation in the inner banquet hall, "The Duke has ordered the lockdown of the palace of Evon City, so a few of them can't leave here yet." ”
Both Fide and Maev nodded, but at that moment, an explosion suddenly rang out in the palace's banquet hall! Fide and Vittorio immediately realized that it was an explosion caused by the "Cracking Powder"!
A series of explosions followed, and the explosion set the inner banquet hall on fire, and many guests and guards were so frightened that they kept retreating, and Mei Fu even pulled Fidel towards the lake in the manor, not daring to look directly at the blazing banquet hall.
"It seems that we didn't destroy all the black powder that day. Vittorio whispered.
The night sky of Ibon City was lit up by firelight, and the banquet hall, which was still full of laughter and laughter, was turned into a fire tree in the explosion, and the sound and heat of the explosion forced everyone outside the banquet hall to continue to flee into the distance. At this time, the inner banquet hall had become a sea of fire, and the fire was still showing signs of spreading to the surrounding buildings, and if there were still people in the banquet hall who did not escape, they would definitely be engulfed in flames. Fed remembered the Duke of Aldington's golden cicada just now, this man left all the guests and even his wife and daughter to the rebels, and used the mechanism to escape alone, and he didn't know whether to evaluate him for selfishness or wit.
"Commander, over there..."
Fide followed Vittorio's direction, and two figures appeared in the palace garden in the distance, one of them was Magalette!
"Prince Jack of the Winter Kingdom took advantage of the chaos to take Margaret away just now, but I didn't expect to meet the two here. Vittorio was about to call out to the guards, but Feder stopped Vittorio.
"Margaret has become a widow, and the fate of the two siblings is up to them. Fylde suddenly remembered the night Margaret had planned to rescue her brother in the City of Honor - the other party was a strong woman, and marrying Luthus was probably a last resort, if they could really escape, perhaps...
Just as Fed's contemplation fell, Jack and Margaret suddenly rushed towards them, with more than a dozen guards behind them, among which the butler Van Deke was running at the front, directing the guards to surround Jack and Margaret.
"Give up and run away, Lord Duke didn't let you out to snatch the bride!" Van Dek cried out. Hearing Van's voice, more and more guards surrounded the two in the direction where they had fled, and some of the guests also looked in this direction, and Jack and Margaret were soon surrounded.
Jack ran wildly in front of Fed, who was already surrounded by Duchy guards, and Dockley immediately pulled Maeve behind them.
"You're a mercenary?!" Jack stopped in front of Fed, he didn't seem to care about the guards with sharp blades, "I remember you, you defeated James and my men of the MONOCULUS Mercenary Regiment, it's good, now I have decided to hire you as my subordinate, quickly tell me the way out of the palace, and help me fight my way out!"
Standing in the distance, Van Deke told all the guards not to act rashly, "Captain Fed, get out of there! We must ensure the safety of Miss Margaret, her brother Jack is a very dangerous person!"
Vittorio had stood a little farther away, but Fidel was still standing there.
"I'm not going to help you escape. ”
"Huh, you're just going to stop me?" Jack glanced at the sword at Fed's waist.
Fidel shook his head, "No, I'm not going to stop you. With that, Feder turned and walked back—as he had done at the beginning, and he wouldn't have come to his aid for no reason if it hadn't happened to be the wounded Margaret lying in his arms. Feder was also aware of Jack's intention to ask about his position, and he was the only one present who could pose a threat to Jack.
Jack slowly let go of his left hand that was gripping Margaret's arm, and he glanced around, the guards all stopped in place, staring at Jack warily.
"Brother, let's give up," Margaret lowered her hands, her cheeks lit up in the fiery banquet hall, and she looked even more delicate, "I'm really ready to marry Lord Luthers, even if he..."
"Shut up!" Jack's eyes shone with fire, and the scars on his face and resolute face highlighted his stubbornness, "I won't let you marry a pervert, your happiness should be fought for by yourself..."
"But... But Adam and you are my happiness... That's what I've always thought!"
Before Jack could say more, the butler Van Deke had already walked up, "Everyone in the banquet hall is still uncertain, and the other soldiers should have rushed to the rescue immediately, but Miss Margaret, please persuade your brother! We don't want to—" Before the steady old butler could finish his sentence, Jack suddenly rushed in front of him and grabbed Van Deke by the neck with his right hand.
"If it weren't for you, an eventful house slave, I would have fled with my sister!!" Jack lifted Van Decker up with just one hand. Although Van was still struggling, Jack's strength was so great that Van was as weak as a rabbit picked up by a vulture.
"I... I'm Lord Luthers'... Servant... I... I can't stand by you... Take away his... His wife..."
"That pervert is dead! he's turned into a corpse!" Jack turned his pent-up anger into strength in his hands, and the dutiful butler could no longer make a sound.
Several brave guards tried to rush forward to the rescue of Van, but the green plate armor on Jack's body suddenly emitted a strange light, and a long-winged devil born in the green light overlapped Jack's body, like Jack's shadow!
The guards were too frightened by the horrific sight to take a step forward, and some of the onlookers even turned and fled. Fidel and Vittorio and the others around him have seen the enchantment magic of the "Green Ghost" for the first time, and this kind of enchantment magic should be unique in enchanted weapons.
"He's innocent! let him go!" cried Margaret as she fell to her knees on the grass, but Jack paid no attention to his sister's cries until Vendje died.
I don't know when, the Marquis of Ampvo appeared among the guards, he looked at Jack, who had killed Van Delk, and shouted: "If you want to save Margaret, now is the best chance! All the soldiers of the Duchy are fighting fires and dealing with the rebels, you only need to use your enchanted armor to fight your way out, and the Fishskin Chamber of Commerce that escapes to the south of the city can meet my men, and they will give you the best fast horses... Flee the principality now!"
Behind Ampvo stood the men of the Kosai Kingdom Mission, their bodies and faces covered in black ash.
The green-skinned demon loomed on Jack's body, and he didn't attack the stunned guards after killing Van, "Won't you help me fight my way out of the encirclement?"
"I'm a nobleman representing the Kingdom of Cose, and if I help you, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the Duchy," the Marquis of Ampvo ignored the surprised gazes of the Duchy soldiers, "Besides, with your ability, you don't need me to do anything at all, you should already have the consciousness to give up your reputation and honor, right?"
Jack didn't respond, he immediately walked up to Margaret and pulled her up, "Leave our Lady!" An officer suddenly stepped forward, his sword in hand and approached Jack's back. But before Jack could turn his head, the green-skinned demon on his body tore open the officer's belly with its sharp claws, and the brave officer was as vulnerable as a defenseless baby in front of the demon.
"If you want to stop me, try it!" Jack roared at the Duchy guards who surrounded them, like an angry lion. Some of the guards who had already been frightened by the green-skinned demon quickly dispersed, and they would rather carry water to fight the fire than stop this green ghost Jack.
"Fed, are we just watching that demon take Miss Margaret away?" Maevie was also frightened by the green-skinned demon, but she mustered up the courage to ask Fed.
"Commander, don't make a fuss," Vittorio looked at the banquet hall where the fire was getting bigger and bigger, countless Duchy soldiers were carrying water to put out the fire, and he didn't know how many noble guests would be able to escape, "Compared to Princess Margaret and Prince Jack of the Winter Kingdom, it is better to go find Captain Patrick, he has also appeared outside the banquet hall before." ”
Feder looked at Margaret's back, and the other glanced back at Feder as he fled into the distance, and it wasn't until both of them disappeared from Fett's eyes that Feder noticed a young girl lying on Van Dek's body.
"Woo... How so... "The maiden was none other than Van Deck's daughter, Leonie.
Leonie lay on her father's corpse and wept bitterly, and the guards who had not dared to lend a hand just now felt ashamed of themselves, and did not dare to look directly at the corpse of the Van Deke butler, and Maevie, who could not bear it, walked to Leonie's side to comfort them.
"Luthers is dead... Lutz is also dead... Sister Suzanne didn't escape either... Now even my father is leaving me..."
