In the relatively sealed hall, several strong air currents suddenly appeared at some point, and the source of this air flow came from the mouth of this big cat. www.biquge.info The guard had already pulled out his long sword and tried to roll over and get up with one hand, but the "big cat" didn't give him any chance, and a high-speed rotating air stream spewed out of the strange cat's mouth and slammed into the guard's chest. The air flow was unimaginably violent, and under the blowing of this air current, the guard only lasted less than ten seconds before it was blown into a skeleton of flesh and blood, and fresh flesh and blood splashed out with the air current.

Another guard watched as his two companions became corpses in less than ten seconds, one of whom couldn't even put together a complete corpse, his teeth clenched, his gums cracked with great force, and blood was squeezing out. His eyes widened, and the pale golden light lingered around his sword, and he slashed down at the big cat, eager to cut the strange cat into meat sauce in one go.

The strange cat, which was actually the Durga cheetah raised by Wren, sank downward, dodged the guard's slash with an easy bounce, and stretched out its left front paw to reach forward while jumping away, leaving four marks on the guard's chest in an instant. The guard's face was gloomy and terrifying, but he was wearing a cuirass, the imperial cuirass was made of very strong steel, and few light weapons could leave a mark on this cuirass except for heavy weapons and armor-piercing weapons.

Unexpectedly, this strange cat almost pulled off the breastplate just by grabbing it like this. At the same time as his face was gloomy, sweat began to form on his head.

Most of the reactions of people in the face of danger are the same, the brain will increase the secretion of adrenaline after receiving the danger signal, and at the same time the heart beats faster, the circulation in the body is accelerated, sweating and dry mouth are very normal phenomena, and some people who are not in good health will even feel dizzy and black in front of their eyes!

The guard had undergone rigorous training and had a strong physique, he took a deep breath and held it in his chest, as if it were a balloon about to burst, and his legs kicked the floor, and rushed towards the strange cat without retreating. In his dictionary, there is no such word as retreat, and besides, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc is behind him, and he must not retreat an inch, even if it costs him his life!

When he approached the monster cat, there was a sword in his head, and this sword slashed diagonally, at a tricky angle, and with great force. But the strange cat didn't seem to plan to dodge this time, and its body sank so hard that it clung to the ground, and the blade of the sword slid against its ears. The strange cat then slammed its limbs forward, slamming into the guard's chest, and from the animal's most primitive hunting instinct, it kept slapping its paws at the guard's head.

The guard had no choice but to give up the long sword in his hand, his arms to protect his head, his body slightly curled, and his waist bowed, strictly guarding against death.

Defense is not the same as attack, the first ninety-nine of a hundred attacks fail, as long as the last one succeeds, then the hundred attacks can be said to be successful. But the defense was successfully defended ninety-nine times, and as long as the last one failed, then all the previous successes turned into meaningless failures.

In the tight battle between the two sides, the strange cat clearly had the upper hand, and in less than ten seconds, it whipped twenty or thirty times like a ball, blurring the flesh and blood of the guard's arms and claws, revealing the white bones.

Maybe it was too badly injured, or maybe it couldn't withstand the strength of the strange cat, and a gap no more than two palms wide was exposed in the guard's arms, and the strange cat seized this opportunity in an instant, squeezed open the gap with his head, poked in, and bit the guard's neck in one bite.

Hunting occupies a large part of the animal's nature, and it can be said that it has penetrated into the bone marrow and become instinct. The moment the strange cat bit the guard's neck, its tail shook vigorously first, and then its body began to shake, and its head began to shake violently. The guard is like a doll with rags, which is held in its mouth and flung around. In the process of throwing, there is a constant clattering, clattering sound of bones shattering.

The struggle slowly weakened, and finally the reaction was completely lost.

The whole process took less than forty-five seconds, and when the strange cat opened its mouth to lower the guard, it glanced back at the cardinal, who was already confused, and grinned silently. The shredded flesh on its teeth and the blood-stained fluff on its mouth made it look so terrifying that the cardinal's heart thumped twice.

The strange cat did not seem to have any interest in continuing to "bite", and after retracting its gaze from the cardinal, its body quickly shrank and disappeared into the cathedral.

When the cardinal opened his mouth wide and was about to shout something, suddenly a group of believers rushed over calmly, they took out a handle crossbow from the loose and fat clothes, the crossbow arrow exuded a dark blue luster, these people aimed at the confessional room without hesitation and pulled the trigger, more than a dozen crossbow arrows aggressively shot into the confessional chamber in the cardinal's stunned eyes, and then a huge fire broke out in the confessional, the crazy flames lit the curtain, and the whole church was in chaos in an instant.

At a time when such a spring was approaching, a fire made the cheerful atmosphere of Toddilas heavy.

Because a clergyman accidentally knocked over the candlestick, igniting several curtains in the church, the church, which had been dry for a winter, burned as quickly as prepared firewood, and the fire even spread to the surrounding houses. According to the statistics after the fire, a total of 73 houses were burned, and the cathedral was burned to the ground, in which 19 people were burned, and two of them died because of their injuries.

This was only for the common people, but in fact there were more than enough people who died in the fire, including several guards from the royal court, and the Lord of Todtilas, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc.

These people were not burned to death, but died in a shameful assassination, which was clearly designed and succeeded. The biggest suspect is Her Majesty the Emperor Pars, who has just tried the crimes of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc in a public speech, and in less than a month after the back foot, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc was assassinated, and even a fool would not believe it if there was no connection here.

The aristocrats are sensitive and perceptive, and they have realized that the world is undergoing a potential change. Although there was no clear evidence of anything so far, they could already smell the smell of the storm that preceded the upheaval.

This event will also be remembered by history and play a very important role in history, which is a signal of the transformation of a regime from a moderate way of ruling to another drastic way, and a dividing line in the process of social development.

The atmosphere of Toddilas became more and more strange and changeable day by day, and the royal court said that the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc was old, and his health had not been very good for a while, and the grief of the loss of his beloved son was attacked by the cold wind on the day of the church fire, and he suddenly fell ill in bed. The Bishop of Todderas also took the time to visit the royal court several times, and the illness of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc was not cured, and many people were worried about it.

There are two worries, the first is that the age of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc is no longer young, it can be said that he is old. The most fearful thing for people when they are old is to get sick, because once they get sick, the decayed body functions cannot expel the pain in a short time, and it is very likely that they will be bedridden.

The second point comes from the family of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc.

Since the death of Assomend, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc has no heir, and many people in the family have jumped out, openly or secretly testing the bottom line of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc. Someone even stood up and said that he would pass on himself to the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc as a son, and what made people laugh and cry was that this guy was almost fifty years old.

Others said that they were deeply in love with the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc and hoped to marry the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc. It may be possible if you don't care about the age of both parties, but when a young man wants to marry someone who is enough to be his grandmother, it obviously has nothing to do with love or anything.

These farces all prove the same thing, that is, this group of people are eyeing the title of Grand Duke of Joan of Arc.

Grand Duke Joan of Arc can still suppress these people when there is no physical problem, and once she is bedridden, I am afraid that these people will have to do something.

In particular, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc has not appeared in front of people for many days, even in the royal court. Her dormitory was sealed off in layers, and only a few retainers were allowed to enter, summoned by the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc.

Less than a week had passed, and the members of the family of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc had already appeared in Toddilas, and they were clamoring to see the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, and there were even fights between them.

The situation in the entire feudal kingdom was complicated by the "illness" of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, and in the imperial capital, Wren was rewarded by Empress Pars.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Marquis of Wren!", Empress Pars was in a good mood and threw the canonization book to Wren, with this canonization book, Wren became the Marquis of the Orlando Empire in a proper manner. Although the Marquis is not particularly valuable, it is somewhat of an improvement. From almost losing his status as a nobleman and returning to the ranks of marquises, Wren still has some satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

With a smile on his face, he bowed, "Thank you for your recognition, I will take the prosperity of the Orlando Empire as my own responsibility, and dedicate my strength to the prosperity of the Empire." ”

"You deserve it!", quipped Empress Pars, "as long as you don't cause trouble, it's the greatest credit." ”

Having solved the troubles of the Archduke of Joan of Arc, Empress Pars's temper disappeared without a trace, and the smile returned to her face. In addition, there is constant good news in the course of the recent Northern Expedition, and she can maintain a heartfelt smile every day. Once the Northern Expedition succeeds, further weakening the nobility, her power will grow stronger. When the time comes, the resistance to political system reform will be quite small.

She is determined to be the first female saint emperor in history, and naturally she will not rest on her laurels to maintain the rules of her predecessors, and only by creating a new prosperous era can she prove her talent and courage.

Of course, sacrificing a handful of less important people in the process is also a must.

"Speaking of which, you are a year older, is there a suitable candidate? Empress Pars suddenly talked about it, Wren was not in a hurry, she was in a hurry, and many nobles were also in a hurry. If Wren does not get married for a day, it means that there is no "burden" for a day and no "responsibility" for a day. Regardless of any political system, there is a certain degree of requirement for marriage.

It is said to be a requirement, but it can also be understood as a mutual means of restraint, and people who are not burdened by a family are often impulsive and can do something contrary to mainstream values. But with a family, with a family as a burden, a responsibility, and a burden, when you want to do something, you need to think about it.

For ordinary people, family may be a relief that must be experienced in life, a kind of growth and sublimation of life, but for politicians, family is a shackle, a shackle that is enough to ensure that they do not mess around!

Wren was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I'm still young, and I don't want to think about getting married for the time being." ”

Empress Pars didn't want to let Wren go, "What do you think of Goliath?", a strange color flashed in her eyes, "Although I once agreed to Assomend's request, but now it is different, and besides, he died before he even had time to take the engagement ceremony, and Goliath has not lost anything." If you will, I think you're a good fit. ”

"Look, one is the contemporary head of the golden aristocracy, the other is the little princess of the royal family, there is no more suitable choice, what do you think?"

Vito on the side also smiled and echoed: "Your Majesty is right, Your Excellency Marquis, you are also old enough to need a family. For those of us, family is a guarantee of the continuation of the bloodline, and there is nothing more important than the continuation of the bloodline. Princess Golia's bloodline is very pure, and you and her children will also have the purest and noblest bloodline. ”

"What's more, having a family and children is not a burden, is it?"

Wren nodded noncommittally, "I don't really care about these things, and besides, marriage is not just my business, and I need the consent of another person." ”

Empress Pars was stunned, and immediately overjoyed, and Wren's tone relaxed, and this matter may be possible.

As long as Wren becomes a relative of the royal family, his careful thinking will be useless, and the rebels will never end well, this is the consensus - people who are really capable and capable will not follow a villain.

She slapped her on the face, "That's it!", and couldn't help laughing, "You're really a gentle person, and you still think about Golia's thoughts?, okay, I'll ask her later, and if she agrees, pick a suitable time to hold the engagement ceremony first." ”

Wren shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
