Chapter 236: Attack of the Crow (5)
Alexei's face flushed, although he was still quite afraid of Sven, but the anger in his heart gradually overshadowed his fear, and the anger in his eyes was undisguised at Sven.
"You, how dare you be so rude!" Alexei cried out loudly, he glared at Sven angrily, as if he was going to swallow Sven alive, "Don't you have a little shame anymore......?
"All right, His Highness Alexey. Sven coldly interrupted Alexei's words, "Please find out the situation first, your father, the emperor of the empire is still in my hands, and now that the matter is now, do you still think that I will care about the blasphemy you said? Don't be naïve, what am I here for, don't you know?"
Alexei was stunned, and for a moment, he wanted to rush up and pounce on Swain and save his father, but when he thought so, he found that Sven's eyes were firmly fixed on him, and he was afraid that as long as he made a slight move, Sven would immediately backhand to restrain him.
"Tell me, your sister, where is my princess?"
Alexei didn't understand what Swain meant, and he looked at Swain suspiciously, while carefully looking at his father.
"Don't be presumptuous!" Alexander suddenly yelled, and then violently exerted force, taking advantage of the moment when Swin was distracted from his speech, broke free of Swain's suppression, stepped forward with Sven, and pushed him away.
"Who gave you the qualifications to shout so intimately to my daughter?" Alexander bared his teeth and threw aside the emperor's grace and dignity, and now he was like a beast, "If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you, if you hadn't been tempting her and deceiving her, it wouldn't have become the situation it is today......"
His father's words made Alexei more and more confused, and he didn't understand what was going on.
"So, are you going to admit it?" Swain was still calm, and although he was pushed away by Alexander, he didn't look embarrassed, "You killed Queen Anna and imprisoned Karin." ”
As soon as Swain said this, everyone in the restaurant was shocked, although those palace attendants, including the two princes, more or less felt that the atmosphere in Tiamat's palace was not right recently, but none of them knew the whole picture of the matter, especially the truth, and no one dared to explore it.
So when he heard Swain's words, Alexei immediately turned his incredulous gaze to his father, as if asking if it was true.
"So, this is the reason why you led a group of rabble to illegally attack Tiamat's palace and fight against the emperor?" Alexander's mood suddenly calmed down, and it seemed that Swain's words not only did not stimulate him, but made him calm down, "Just with this kind of nonsense for no reason, you dare to confront the emperor, and dare to openly rebel?"
He picked up the Devourer of Mamotius from the floor, and although it was calm on the surface, the momentum that flowed from him made Alexei cringe and take several steps back.
"Jericho, Conouille, O'Brien...... You local nobles and princes are all the same, and the ambition of rebellion has taken root in your hearts from the beginning, whether it is a world or an era, you are all like this, without loyalty and without trust. ”
He suddenly raised his sword, and his expression became extremely hideous. "But no matter how many times you try, failure is your only end! Feel it - the frustration of being defeated by the Gion family again, this fear, remember it for a lifetime!"
As he spoke, his face became gloomy again, and he was smiling in reality, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was too weird because of the arc, and he couldn't tell whether he was laughing or baring his teeth.
"No, you don't have a chance, you can't get the chance to be forgiven like you did a century ago, this time, I want to completely wipe out all of you imperial pretenders, not even a little remnant of ashes, all of them must be completely crushed and annihilated!"
Alexander lifted the devouring of Mamotius aloft and leaped up with great force, and the heavy blade slashed at Swain's head, as if he were about to split Swain in half.
"A trick full of holes. ”
Sven didn't dodge left and right, but rushed towards Alexander, Alexander raised his arm and slashed down in front of him with all his strength, but his arm span and the length of the blade were far beyond his control, Sven slid low, and quickly bullied Alexander's side, at this distance, Alexander couldn't retract the blade at all, and there was no way to cut Sven, but fell into a situation that was unfavorable to him.
The right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and then it hit Alexander's abdomen with precision, receiving such a big blow, Alexander was so painful that he almost fainted, and his hands unconsciously let go of the big sword, and then the whole person was hammered back by a huge force and flew a distance of several meters.
Seeing Alexander fly out upside down, Alexei and the others' hearts were pinched again, although Swain's words just now made them suspicious, but no matter what, they were on Alexander's side.
After a brief fainting, Alexander immediately regained consciousness, but this did not mean that he was awake, on the contrary, the pain of the heavy blow to his abdomen caused him to curl up and not get up for a while.
Sven picked up the devouring of Mamotius that had been stuck in the ground, and walked over to Alexander. The others in the restaurant couldn't help but take a breath at this time, at least in their eyes, Sven, with a sharp knife in his hand, looked as if he was going to kill the king. They all stared nervously at the tip of the Devouring Sword of Mamotius, fearing that it would suddenly fall on the Emperor's neck.
The emperor was killed by the royal holy sword, and the joke was not funny at all.
Swain carried his heavy sword, which he held with much easier control than Alexander. However, this was not easy in the eyes of the others, who all stared at the shaking blade with apprehension, and always felt that Sven would suddenly accidentally take off his hand with such a careless sword, causing the heavy sword to fall directly and stab Alexander directly below.
"I didn't want to be so rude. Swain stood beside Alexander, who had fallen to the ground, his expressionless face could not tell whether he was happy or angry, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to really pick up a sword and dare to fight me, I was originally going to face the royal guards here, but you didn't ambush people here, which is really surprising to me." ”
The pain was too great for Alexander to recover, but he didn't just react to Sven's words.
"Who said there was no ambush?" he glared at Sven with tears of water, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, "You're going to die today!"
Swain was still expressionless, and Alexander couldn't find the emotion he wanted to see in that face.
"Wow"
The heavy sword fell and stuck in Alexander's ear.
Sven stroked the weight ball of Mamotius's devouring in one hand and tilted his head slightly, dodging the sudden shot from the corner.
When the bullet hit the wall behind Swain, everyone except Swain was taken aback, they didn't hear the gunshot, and they didn't expect Sven to be able to dodge the shot so easily.
Then the sound of hurried boot footsteps rang out in the cafeteria, and a group of royal guards suddenly ran out of the corner and lined up in front of Swain. They lined up in two columns, the front row half crouched, and all of them aimed their guns at Sven.
"I actually used myself as bait. Swain looked at Alexander, who had fallen to the ground, and although his tone was a little surprised, he himself did not seem surprised, "You really impress me." It's just that I don't know if you ever thought that you would fall into my hands in such an embarrassment when you made this decision, and whether you thought about how many people I would bring over. ”
There was another sound of footsteps, and from the side of the gate where Swain had entered, a group of soldiers rushed in, forming in the same array, raising their guns and confronting the royal guards.
Alexander, who fell to the ground, turned extremely ugly, and his lips moved a few times, as if to say something.
But Swain didn't pay attention, he could guess the reason why Alexander did this, compared to the first time when he saw himself alone breaking in, Alexander was also surprised, he ambushed dozens of royal guards in the restaurant, just wanted to catch the enemy by surprise, but only saw Swain alone, Alexander couldn't help but hesitate, he didn't want to waste the ambush like this, and more importantly, he couldn't figure out who started the coup d'état.
Prime Minister Pitt went to Glamorgan, Ernest and Baron O'Brien had been visited by Swain before, and the overly suspicious Alexander, who was under siege at Tiamat Palace and unable to get in touch with the outside world, must have been unable to help but wonder who started the coup d'état, and who his enemies were.
Naturally, he was most suspicious of Sven, but when he saw Swain breaking into the restaurant alone, his suspicion made him hesitate, if Swain still had a collaborator, or if Sven was simply another pawn, then he should kill him on the spot, or find out the information of that collaborator from him.
So Alexander didn't let the ambushed soldiers attack immediately, but Swain's words deeply angered him, and unable to bear it, Alexander decided to teach Sven a lesson himself.
Then he fell to the ground, just like he did now.
"Lay down your arms!" Alexei, who was surrounded by the royal guards, said nervously, even he knew that the current situation was very unfavorable, but he had no way to change the situation, so he could only reluctantly muster up his courage and scare Swain with a pale and weak threat, even if he knew that it would not have an effect.
Sven was indeed not frightened by Alexei's words, he just calmly turned around and gave the order to the soldiers behind him.
"Fire. ”
The soldiers then followed Swain's orders and opened fire.
The Royal Guards obviously didn't expect that the other party really dared to suddenly break the situation during the confrontation, so they reacted a beat slower, and after the other party fired, they hurriedly counterattacked, but in order to avoid accidentally injuring Alexander, they didn't dare to shoot at Swain, so they could only fire at those soldiers with numb expressions.
The royal guards who lost the opportunity soon suffered more than half of the casualties, and they didn't have many people, and under the suppression of the other party's vitality, they could only barely protect the network to the prince, hiding behind the dining table and the pillar, and didn't even dare to show their heads.
Those palace attendants even knew the truth of self-preservation, and when the two sides confronted each other, they had already run into the corner.
Seeing the Royal Guards hiding behind cover, Swain raised his hand and motioned for the soldiers to stop firing.
"I don't want to cause senseless killing, so I'm giving you a chance, peace talks. Swain stared at the pillar where Alexei was hiding, he knew very well that only the young prince could make a decision now, "Of course, I think you should invite someone of sufficient weight, although Your Highness Alexei is the crown prince, but ...... I'm afraid that your experience in this area is not up to the task. ”
Alexei, who was hiding behind the pillar, did not understand what Swain meant, he hesitated, and even wanted to poke his head out to question Sven, but as soon as he stretched out his neck, he was stopped by the royal guards holding him.
"What to do?" Alexei looked anxiously at the royal guard who was holding him, the commander of the squad. However, this commander is just a warrior and has no idea about such a thing.
"What does he mean," Paul, who was beside Alexei, who was being held by another royal guard, pursed his lips tightly, and looked much calmer than his brother, "is to ask my sister to come out and negotiate with him." ”
Alexei and the royal guards looked at Paul in surprise, and their eyes lit up.
