Chapter 108: When a Familiar Scene Comes Again, What's the First Thing That Comes to Your Mind?
"Wow!"
"Ahh
"Oh my God, oh my God, don't move forward, no, don't retreat......"
"Uhhh
The southern part of the central square, where the most common people gathered, trampled on each other in the crowd, and for a moment the wails and the screams of women sounded from time to time made this place immediately attract the attention of everyone, including Bernaventus IV.
"What's going on?" said Bernaventura IV, seeing the crowd in the south, where the crowd began to become confused, and some even threw themselves to the inside of the red line.
More than twenty of the king's guards immediately drew their weapons and protected Bernaventus IV in it, including Melissa, whose face was terrified.
Zhuo Erlin was a little stunned for a moment when he saw that the crowd in front of him had begun to trample on each other, and in less than a minute, this chaos immediately started from the south and spread to the west and east of the central square at the same time.
Some people wanted to retreat, but others wanted to come forward, and soon, because there were still many teenagers standing here, this scene made these people feel extremely uneasy.
"Someone's dead! Run!"
I don't know who in the crowd in the east shouted such a sentence, and there was a chaotic sound of various shouts here immediately.
"Master?!" Xiu Yin looked at Master Sean, whose face was a little gloomy beside him.
"Xiuin, stay by my side!" Master Sean looked to the south, his sharp gaze immediately caught in the chaotic crowd, some people did not panic and did not know where to go, but calmly shuttled through the crowd, they were approaching the north in the east and west directions, and at the same time spread the riot here.
"Could it be that their target is Bernaventus IV?" Master Sean was shocked, this is not a joke, to assassinate the king?
When Bernaventur IV saw that the commotion of the crowd had begun to spread to the north, he cried out with a pale face, "Guard, guard, where is my guard!?"
The ministers and lords on the city gate were also shocked, especially the Marquis of Fair, who had already experienced an attack, had no blood on his face, and the whole person stood up suddenly, and at the same time turned over the chair behind him, "Quick, quickly defend the king!"
The other ministers also roared, "Hurry up and mobilize the army, the Starlight Knights, let the Knights send the whole army!"
The shouts of several ministers and lords immediately confused the command system, and the captain of the palace guard standing on the tower of the city gate did not know whose orders to listen to, some shouted for an immediate attack, some shouted for someone to quickly summon the knights, and some even told the palace gate to be closed immediately......
At the same time as the panic scene caused by the ministers and lords above the city gate, the lords below who were trying to escape immediately encountered another big problem.
That is, the alleys around the square are so congested that no one can leave!
The autumn ceremony was held in Starlight City, and according to the experience that had been made, a lot of city guards were arranged at various intersections in the city to maintain order, especially in all the streets near the palace, a large number of guards and soldiers were hidden in case of accidents.
But at this moment, when the leaders of the guards noticed that there was chaos in the central square, they, who had been in peacetime for a long time, immediately led their soldiers towards the square in order to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve some meritorious service.
Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers immediately appeared on each street, and before they could get into the area of the central square, they were about to crash into the outpouring of civilians.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A soldier with 300 men who was anxious to make a meritorious service shouted at the crowd, but not only did he not give way to the road, but because of the appearance of these soldiers, there were people in the streets who fell and were trampled and killed and injured, which undoubtedly made the entire central square and the streets around the square begin to tend to get out of control.
"If there are rioters, all those who dare to approach will be killed on the spot!"
The only thing Bernaventura IV could do now was to shout, and the guards immediately led him to the rear.
However, the merchant nobles who had been sitting in the VIP seats were even more frightened than the ordinary lords, and some of them ran in the direction of the palace, just in time to crowd with the guards who were about to come out to rescue the king.
There were some people who scattered in a panic towards the east side because their children were on the east side of the square.
Still others flocked in the direction of Bernaventurus IV, some out of genuine concern for the king's safety, while others were taking the opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty, hoping to gain the king's praise for their fearless loyalty.
But it was the rush of these people that caused the pace of Bernaventur's retreat to begin to slow down.
"Where are my knights, my guards!" Bernaventus IV kept shouting, trying to make himself forget his timidity by constantly shouting, but in fact his trembling legs were a big reason for their slowness here.
Sou!
Suddenly, from the crowd on the west side of the square, a crossbow bolt burst out of the air.
With the sound of breaking through the air, the target of the crossbow is the king of the Starlight Kingdom!
Syllable!
The long sword swept in front of the king, and the crossbow bolt was directly intercepted, from the crowd on the west side to the wrestling platform, the distance was more than forty meters, and it was obviously difficult to raid the king at this distance.
However, the appearance of this crossbow also proves that this riot is not accidental.
The appearance of the crossbow bolt was like a signal, and immediately after, someone in the crowd in the three directions around the square, south, east, west, and west suddenly threw some strange little baggage near the guards around the square.
Whew-
Whew-
These small burdens fell to the ground and began to emit puffs of smoke, and in less than a moment, the smoke rising from three sides of the square began to block people's view in the direction of the wrestling platform!
The panic in front of the ministers on the tower of the city gate kept the command system of the palace guards in a state of not knowing who to listen to, and they were called to do that and to do something else, but at this moment, the ministers finally shouted in unison to go down and rescue their king.
"Go and defend Your Majesty!
On the east side, in addition to the panicked scurrying of teenagers, Master Sean found that almost all the people who were going to assassinate the king were concentrated on the opposite side.
When the smoke rose around the central square, Master Sean and Xiu Yin were stunned, this scene seemed to be a little too familiar!
Xiu Yin could see that multiple figures had passed through the smoke, just like in the city of bones, and these assassins used the cover of the smoke to attack Bernaventus IV, who was approaching the gate of the palace!
