1. "Enemy attack!"

Almost as soon as Sophia was attacked, the exclamations of the guards resounded throughout the palace. No one knew where the Assassins came from, they appeared inside the palace out of thin air, and when the guards noticed something was wrong, sharp hooks and claws were shooting from all directions, and the chains full of sharp barbs quickly formed a huge net, tearing apart the unguarded guards in an instant.

After killing the soldiers patrolling the palace, the attackers quickly dissolved into the night.

Their dark complexion allowed them to quickly blend in with the night, and they ran in a strange way, with their long arms hanging down to the ground as long as they bent down, galloping like a predatory cheetah, easily climbing the towering pillars and shuttling back and forth between floors.

"Something happened. ”

Albert frowned, he didn't like this kind of emergency.

The shouts of the guards kept flowing, and at the same time the whole structure of the palace came to his mind - it was too late, because of the huge structure of the palace, the extremely loose division of the guards, and the integrity of the night, three or two units of the guards were completely reduced to lambs to the slaughter.

It wasn't until the moment the attacker arrived that he suddenly figured it out.

The assassination of the fifth emperor and him did not have any substantial benefit to those people, and even if it was estimated that public opinion, the Senate would never allow a group of king-killers to ascend to the throne. There was only one reason why they planned rebellions and assassinations - what they wanted was destruction, the assassination of the king, the whole of Horutia in turmoil, and even the outbreak of war again, which was the end result of what those people were pursuing.

And the group that fits this mentality, he can immediately think of one.

Theophalan, defeated by his ancestors and expelled from the sons of darkness of Holutiah.

"Dingding-ding-"

There was a sound of ropes from below the terrace, as if something was creeping up the place, and the porch at the entrance was faintly reflected with a cold silver glow.

The next moment, two black shadows leaped down from the height, and the silver chains crossed in their hands strangled straight towards Albert's head, and the chains cut straight through any obstacle that stood between him and Albert, leaving several flat cuts. Almost at the same moment, two more black shadows leaped up from the edge of the platform, barbed weapons in their hands and stabbed Albert's vest.

At such close range, Albert finally saw the assailant's face clearly.

And Lin Qiu naturally saw these people clearly.

Their dark skin, long ape-like arms, their masks obscured their faces, and their reddish eyes completely ignored him, locked on Albert.

These people are exactly the same people Ella saw in the underground waters!

They came for Albert.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them were closing in on Albert from four different directions.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, the Assassin's eyes showed a smug look.

Henry V, too!

Or, from the moment Kroll ceased to be his bodyguard, he had been reduced to a tiger stripped of its claws and fangs.

Immediately afterward, triumph turned to suspicion, and the two men who pulled up the chains felt a light in their hands, and the long chains broke into several pieces when they came to Albert. The hands of the two people who climbed onto the platform hung in the air, Lin Qiu's hand clamping his wrist was slightly forced, and the barb-like object fell vertically, leaving a faint scorch mark when the dark green liquid on the barb sank into the floor.

"I've really convinced you, the enemy is now, and you still have time to be in a daze. ”

"The Musa Consortium. ”

Albert showed no panic on his face throughout, calmly recalling the night's events.

The only person who could bring these Assassins into the royal city without any circumstances was Eric's deputy, Cyndora.

It seems that this time he guessed completely wrong.

The Musa Consortium was not targeting the escaped monsters at all, and while Eric was talking to him, Sindora was away for a long time to check for the disease, and she and the so-called researchers traveled to every corner of the palace.

The two who jumped from the height fell to Albert's side and laughed as if they had triumphed.

They removed their leather masks, and four monster-like fangs tore straight into Albert's throat.

"Still not dead?"

Lin Qiu turned his arms, lifted the two, and smashed straight into the two who bit Albert. The two were knocked out of the air several meters away and then slammed into a stone pillar.

These freaks are armed all over their bodies!

"So it looks like you're really at your end. Lin Qiu said jokingly to Albert.

If he had been stunned for half a second at any point, the Assassin would have succeeded, and in this case, Albert, as the king, did not even have any guards around him.

Albert ignored Lin Qiu's taunts, he said, "The top priority is to gather all the forces together, and not leave them a chance to break them one by one. ”

He believed that there were far more than four Assassins, not just him, but also Sophia and Richard.

Theopharan's hatred of Henry's family runs deep in their bones, and they will not spare anyone who has the blood of their enemies in their veins.

"I'm going to bring all my troops to the archives, and I hope you'll get Sophia and Richard here as soon as possible. With that, Albert walked forward without looking back.

"You're alone?"

"You're worried about the wrong person, this is my country, my palace, no one knows everything here better than me, even if I can get there with my bare hands. ”

After leaving such a sentence, Albert's figure completely disappeared into the darkness.

The other side.

After the monster that attacked Sophia drew its claws, it let out a deafening roar, and after the roar, its raised claws slammed into Ella and Sophia and the others, and the other A-class monsters also seemed to be under some kind of control, and forced Sophia and Ella violently.

Their target is not Ella, but Sophia, who is in Ella's arms.

The bloodshot eyes of the monsters speak for themselves.

"Be careful!"

The old butler rushed at the two of them desperately.

The expected pain did not strike, and after closing his eyes for a few seconds, the butler opened his eyes in confusion. The first thing that caught her eye was Phoenix's wings unfurled in anger, the end of the wings burning red flames, and she just stood in front of the monster that attacked them, and the rampaging monster stopped its front paws in a state of loss of mind.

"Fuck off. ”

It saw the flame of anger in Phoenix's eyes.

Fear shattered all of its will, even overshadowing the effects of the potion, and even Zurtan and Bibab on the side felt a chill in their hearts. It was a coercion that they couldn't resist at all, and a similar feeling they had only felt in another world before—an ancestor-level monster, the god who created the monster world!

And this god is angry!
