Chapter 6: Riots in the Palace (3)

"Da-da-da! da-da!"

On the outer wall of the castle, where no one had the energy to pay attention, two figures were running on the top of the elevated corridor. It's none other than Li Mengxi and Nayin Hinata, and the latter is also complaining about the former.

"That's not what you just said!"

"You shouldn't have to say anything about this kind of thing, you should be able to think of it, right?" Li Mengxi responded with a helpless smile, "From a high place, you can only have a specific direction." To find out what's going on, we have to get close there. ”

"Alas!" Hinata sighed helplessly, but did not complain again.

Look at the scene below! Although Hinata didn't know how many soldiers the imperial city was guarded by, she couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective than the word "poured out" from the current situation.

How can such a state of affairs not be curious?

Not only did she want to know what was going on, but she couldn't wait to find out.

So, Naine couldn't help but move her gaze from below to the back running in front of her, and then asked, "What the hell is going on? Could it be that Edlaide and they are attacking?"

"Impossible!" Li Mengxi immediately denied Hinata's speculation and explained, "The movement of the soldiers is too chaotic, and the ratio of troops is also very chaotic. This is not the way to defend against the enemy. And if they really called Edlaide, they should have taken us hostage, not just made us evade and forgot to have people to keep an eye on us. ”

"So what the hell is going on?"

"It's probably that they are in turmoil...... Li Mengxi said as he carefully looked at the panicked movements of the soldiers near and far, "The soldiers' actions seem to be looking for something...... No, I should say it's looking for talent, right?"

"Who?

"I don't know. But maybe we can follow the guy over there and see what happens. As he spoke, Li Mengxi stretched out his hand and pointed out diagonally.

And looking in the direction of his finger, Hinata Naon immediately saw a man. He was dressed in a unique type of armor, and at first glance he knew that he must have a different identity from ordinary soldiers - that was the chief captain of the Imperial City Guard, Lalasaus.

In the face of the important situation of the little empress being taken captive, how could he still sit still? Not only did he mobilize the guards of the entire imperial city as soon as he got the news, but he also personally led the team to join the ranks of the pursuit. Then, at this very moment, he finally received good news.

One of the guards suddenly rushed around the corner in front of Lazaus, and when he saw him, he immediately turned around and ran towards him. As a result, Lasaus knew that the other party had come to find him, so he took his subordinates to temporarily stop running.

Immediately, before the soldier who came to him could speak, Lazaus took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter!"

"Report to Your Excellency, our interception has failed!"

"Hehe!" On the basis of already knowing who he was hunting, Lasaus couldn't help but smile with admiration at this time, and said in his heart: He is worthy of being the captain of the personal guard personally handed* by Marshal Miridrian, and he is worthy of being a soldier who has experienced the baptism of battle, and it is really not something that these guys who are kept in captivity in the imperial city can match. But after all, how can you escape this heavily guarded imperial city alone!

"So, what is his movement?" asked Lasaus, who quickly put away his smile.

"Heading to the place your prediction. We've laid an ambush!"

"That's fine. Lazaus smiled triumphantly, then gave the order, "Speed up! I'm going to meet him in person!"

After the words were closed, he began to gallop again. The team he led naturally followed without saying a word.

At the same time, in a corner of the courtyard, under the walls of a certain tower, Dylan crashed headlong into the guards' ambush.

Damn it!

Seeing that countless stubborn figures formed a human wall and blocked the way ahead, Dylan couldn't help but curse in his heart and had to stop. He subconsciously glanced back, but saw another sea of people. In this way, he was sandwiched between the left and right walls one after the other, and there was no way to escape.

Realizing that he was in a bad situation, Dylan did not choose to give up, and he wanted to give it another try. So he retreated to the base of the tower in his guard, and the soldiers immediately closed in on all sides and surrounded him. However, no one dared to take on the challenge.

Di Lan was able to escape all the way here by relying on the word "strength", and there was no one among the ordinary guards who could pass the fourth move with him. Although he hadn't actually killed anyone until now, that didn't guarantee that he wouldn't be a killer in the rest of the fight, especially after he had fallen into the trapping beast fight.

It was this fear that kept the guards in a favorable position, but no one dared to be the one to stand out. This gave Dylan a chance to breathe, but he didn't last long - Lazaus had arrived!

"Isn't this the captain of Marshal Miridrian's personal guard!"

As the voice sounded, the guards automatically split into formation to highlight their commander-in-chief.

"What an irony!" said Lasaus, as he sneered as he walked through the array of guards, "His Excellency the Marshal has been loyal to the royal family, and has died with all his might. And the person he trusted the most turned around and did such a rebellious thing! If he knew about it, I don't know what kind of words he would say!"

"Well done, he'll say!" exclaimed Dylan righteously, "I'm going to get Her Majesty out of you!"

"Ridiculous!" roared Lasaus, "is this place where you can come and go as you want!"

As he said this, he also noticed the strangeness of the matter at hand.

That's right, the Imperial City is so heavily guarded, how did this kid Dylan sneak in without knowing it?

As soon as he thought of this, Lashad added this question to the following statement: "If you know each other, you will return your majesty to us at once, and give you an honest account of the method of mixing in." In that case, I can be merciful enough to give you a good time. ”

"Daydreaming!" Dylan refused without hesitation.

"Hmph, do you really think that with Her Majesty the Empress in hand, we won't dare to touch you!"

Damn it!

Dylan cursed inwardly. He felt that nine percent of Laslaus's threats were bluffs, and how could he dare to ignore the safety of the little empress? Therefore, even if the other party's threat was less than one percent real, he still hit it.

A sense of despair arose, and though it was not to the point of being overflowing, it did consume Dylan's will and strength within.

Is that all there is to it? Is it such a failed failure! Unwilling! Unwilling! Unwilling!

Thinking like this, Dilan couldn't help but pass the scene of the dark street in his mind, which made him feel a deep sense of remorse.

If they were here, they should have gone there and asked for help! If they were here, there would have been a way! If they were here, even miracles would have been possible!

Just as Dylan was begging for a miracle in despair, the unthinkable happened.

At the same time that Lassaus appeared on the scene, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain, who had followed him here, also landed on a platform with statues protruding from the tower.

They weren't close to the ground, and Lasaus and Dylan didn't deliberately shout during their conversation. Therefore, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nayin, who were above, could barely hear what the people below were talking about, and could only judge for themselves by relying on what they saw with their eyes.

This made Naine Hinata feel incredible. She said, "They made such a big scene because someone kidnapped it, a maid?"

Of course, the object of these words was Li Mengxi, but he did not respond. He was staring intently at Dylan's face while checking his memory before finally blurting out two words: "It's him." ”

"Which one?" Hinata immediately asked curiously.

"It's kind of the kidnapper's one. ”

"Kidnapper! You know the kidnapper!"

"It's not an acquaintance, it's just a one-sided relationship. But...... Nain, can you help him?"

"Do you want to help a kidnapper in such a situation?" Hinata was rightly incredulous, "Why?"

"I'll tell you the reason later. But now it's more important to act. ”

"I see. Looking at Li Mengxi's solemn expression, Hinata Naine nodded vigorously, "However, what should I do?"

"Just get a little trick, and then that person should be able to figure it out on his own. ”

"Is it really just a matter of blindfolding?"

"Hmm!" Li Mengxi showed a confident expression, "How do you think he got into this imperial city?"

“...... That secret passage!" After thinking about it for a moment, it dawned on Himata, "Is it right here!"

"That's right. So let's give him a hand and see it by the way. ”

"Hehe!" while laughing kindly, Hinata Naon raised her hand and quickly wrote a mantra in front of her. Then he clutched it in a ball and threw it downwards with all his might.

The orb of blue light silently exploded into a field of photons, sending the effect of magic to the ground. And so, in an instant, the mist rose from the ground.

"What's going on!" the guards, led by Lasaus, who noticed the mutation, immediately panicked.

Lazaus himself yelled at Dilan for the first time: "What did you kid do!"

Faced with this questioning, Dylan really felt confused. Looking at the fog that quickly rose up around him and engulfed the guards' figures, the first thought that came to his mind was: There really is a miracle to come!

No, how is this possible! The current situation is absolutely man-made, and probably only a magician of considerable strength can do it. Who would it be, and why would it help itself?

The suspicion of the matter is questionable, but Dylan can't let this stop him from giving up a great opportunity.

Even if there are any consequences, let's talk about it then! The most important thing now is to escape from here!

As soon as he thought of this, Dylan also acted quickly. He fled from memory, knocking down several guards with a "thump" of his sword along the way to reach his destination, and then pressed the bricks in different places on the wall as if he were pressing a password.

Immediately, the stone door silently retreated from the wall, revealing a tunnel opening and the staircase leading to it. Seeing this, Dylan rushed into it without hesitation, and then hurriedly turned over and activated another mechanism from the inside to reseal the secret door.

"That's how the door opened. Although the dense fog could obscure the eyes and ears of the guards and Di Lan, it would not affect Li Mengxi at all, allowing him to see at a glance Di Lan's method of activating the mechanism.

"Alright, it's okay here, let's go back." Immediately, he made a proposal satisfied.

Of course, Naine Hinata had no opinion on this, so she smiled and nodded.

"Hmm!"

In this way, the two followed the path they had come from and left again.

Soon after they left, the fog that had reached its time limit gradually subsided.

They were finally freed from their confusion, but as they feared in the fog, they could no longer find Dilan.

"Damn!" Laslaus, who had been calculated because he did not expect that the other party would have such a powerful helper, angrily slammed his sword at his feet, and let out a loud "bang".
