Chapter 233: Multi-party rescue
A net of fire suppressed the frenzied monsters in the corners of the house, and the appearance of the huge monsters huddled together was really funny.
However, no one could laugh at the moment, the tumbling flames were like the scythes of death, and the assassins who rushed into the room turned to steam before they could even make a sound, and Phoenix stood alone in the doorway of Sophia's dormitory, scanning everything around him with a cold gaze.
It's been a long time since the First Demon Tide War that she's leaning her power as wantonly as she does now.
No, she is stronger now than she was then.
But even with such great power, she still fell for the tricks of humanity as she once did. Using the monsters to dispel her vigilance, and then letting the monsters they saved attack her defenselessly, their previous efforts have harmed Princess Sophia.
Sophia, who is being treated in the house at this moment, is another provocation and sarcasm to her by human beings.
"She's okay......" Ella's tone was worried.
"Fortunately, the princess is a knight, and the injury is not critical, and it will take a long time to adjust to not have this level of injury. The court physician said solemnly. He took emergency measures to stop Sophia's bleeding, but the latter showed no signs of reviving before she suffered too much blood loss and left her in a state of extreme weakness.
If possible, he needs more medication.
The problem was that the whole palace was in disarray, and he had already seen the dead and wounded guards on the way to the old butler, and the attackers were fierce and decisive, and they fled into the darkness as soon as they struck a blow, and it was a fluke that they were able to get here safely, and in this case, it was impossible to find medicine.
"I'm not talking about the princess, I'm talking about Phoenix...... Who cares about Sophia?" said Ella.
The old butler kept a calm face and did not answer.
It seems that the misunderstanding between Miss Ella and the princess is still deep, but he also saw Sophia's every move when she was attacked and unconscious - she kept saying that she hated Sophia, but she was the most nervous after Sophia's attack.
But what Ella said was exactly what the housekeeper was worried about.
He didn't know Phoenix, and the only person who knew her and had a close relationship with her wasn't here, and anyone who looked at the furious flames would be horrified. Of course, the assassins couldn't hurt Phoenix in the slightest, and the butler's concern was that Phoenix was carried away by the anger.
Tyre Cyrius.
Please come back soon!
The same prayer arose in the hearts of several people at the same time.
......
On the other side, the cloister of the royal palace.
"Reason...... Prince Richard's residence is here!" The maid beside Lin Qiu stumbled as she spoke, she was still immersed in the situation where she was just about to make a move—the assassin's sharp blade was close at hand, and she thought her death was doomed.
The Assassins killed anyone they saw, and all of her friends who escaped with her died at their hands.
They had thought that the palace was the safest place for Herutia, but the presence of the Assassins had shaken her faith.
Until now, her fear has not subsided at all.
Because the young man beside her was dragging a dying assassin at the moment. She only had to turn her face to the side to see the strange and hideous face of the other party.
"It's useless...... He's dead...... It's set!" The assassin's voice dragged by Lin Qiu was intermittent, and his accent was extremely unique.
"That...... What are you doing with him?" the maid could not bear it anymore, and finally raised the doubts in her heart.
"Ward off evil spirits. Lin Qiu said casually.
Although these Assassins were not very effective to him, they were able to hide their whereabouts, and being constantly attacked would undoubtedly slow them down considerably. He had planned to interrogate the other party as he went, but along the way, not only did he not know how many men Theopharan had dispatched and who were directing them, but he was mentally polluted by the other party.
From beginning to end, he would only say three sentences:
The Henry family is dead.
You're done.
Theopharan will make you pay the price in blood.
After learning that he was going to find Richard, the Assassin learned that Richard was dead.
The content of the words, coupled with his hoarse and staccato voice, Lin Qiu felt as if there was a witch doctor beside him who kept chanting voodoo spells. Thinking of the fact that Albert didn't even have a high-level guard by his side, Lin Qiu felt that their situation was not optimistic—even the Sixth Emperor had no one to protect him, and a prince who had passed out of his temper would not have any decent bodyguards around him.
In fact, the maid also felt that the assassin had some truth in what he said, but she didn't dare to say it explicitly.
When she escaped, she heard that Richard's house had long since fallen, and that the guards who had been there had been almost completely killed, and the guards who had escaped from there persuaded them to flee with them. But they didn't get far before they were attacked, and the guards couldn't resist for a few seconds, and the Assassins who came and went without a trace killed him without difficulty.
"Whew...... That's over there!"
After walking a few more steps, the maid pointed to the hidden door and shrunk her neck.
This did not bode well, there were no candles in the house, and there was a dead silence.
The corpses of several guards could be vaguely seen on both sides of the corridor outside the house, and the blood was fainted, and someone stepped on the bloody water, and the bloody footprints spread all the way into the house. As soon as Lin Qiu arrived at the door, he heard the voice of the old man in the house, the voice was a little drunk, and it was accompanied by one or two dice Gu sounds from time to time.
"Prince Richard, the old man's gambling luck has always been bad, and he won you one night today, and he never thought it would be a bad omen. ”
As soon as the words fell, several black shadows came from all directions at the same time.
"After the old woman's death, have the current assassins become a wolf pack tactic?"
Although he said this, the old man's eyes showed a little surprise. He has seen a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in his life, but this kind of deformed freak is still the only one he has seen in his life, and what is even more penetrating is that these people seem to have the same mind, each of them has made up for the gap between the other, and with the cooperation of several people, the target they are targeting has nothing to hide.
The target was Richard, who was sitting across from him, and the killing intent was too obvious.
"Looks like I'm being underestimated. ”
The old man's right hand reached out to the steel-forged greatsword that swung beside his leg.
The sound of the skin opening was exceptionally clear, and the blood rushing out of the room made the maid scream.
The silence lasted for more than ten seconds before the old man's voice sounded again: "At this time, someone called me here, and sure enough, Albert's kid didn't have any good intentions...... But it's rare that he also has times when he is anxious. ”
"Thank you, Shadow Lady, but I'm so worried about them right now, I can't stay here any longer!"
"If you don't want to be like those unskilled guards, just stay here, I haven't been asked to protect anyone but you. ”
