Chapter 162: Poison Clearing
A series of events far away in the south, I am afraid that no one in the imperial capital at this time knows about it at all, but even if they do, they can't take care of it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In front of the emperor's dormitory, there was almost a river of blood, and the palace guards gathered more and more, even with Feng Xifan's joining, Raymond and the others were still struggling, and were firmly suppressed by the palace guards under the steps of the dormitory, and the battle circle of several people was suppressed smaller and smaller, and the space for maneuver became more and more cramped.
Leo swung his sword and continued to slash and block, while holding the Arena of the Gods and silently calculating how many guards he had stabbed down just now, and how many points of Gods' Pleasure had been obtained. Since his battle with the mages of the Kingdom of Lorraine, his godly pleasure has only been a few hundred points, which is not enough for a single summon.
798 points...... 816 points...... The pleasure value of the gods accumulated little by little, and suddenly, after the soldiers of the Wei State shot down a group of archers on the palace city, the pleasure value of the gods increased by hundreds of points, and finally climbed to the threshold of 1,000 points.
The great joy in Leo's heart, he didn't care that this was the forbidden place of the palace, and he didn't care if he would expose his secrets because of this, so he directly exchanged for a team of Wei soldiers in the Arena of the Gods.
From a dark corridor on the side of the emperor's dormitory, hundreds of heavily armored soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding spears and shields suddenly poured out, taking both sides by surprise as they fought fiercely. But then Leo shouted loudly: "Listen to the order, quickly clear the road to the dormitory, and kill anyone who gets in the way!"
"Whew!" the soldiers answered, and slaughtered into the heavily guarded crowd like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Although the palace guards are also wearing armor, most of them are ceremonial light armor, which is more ornamental than practical, and it is difficult to fight back in the face of the Wei soldiers who are almost armed to the teeth.
With shields in one hand and spears in hand, the warriors advanced step by step in a tight and orderly formation, and each time the spear was stabbed, it stabbed down a palace guard. The armor of those palace guards was completely unable to hinder the stabbing of the iron spears, even if the palace guards desperately rushed to the front of the warriors, there was nothing they could do with the warriors holding the big shields, the warriors only needed to neatly push the shield outward, and then the palace guards pushed away with the knives, and then the spear in the right hand stabbed out again, bringing up a bloody flower.
The soldiers in the array were like sophisticated and efficient killing machines, and they preemptively occupied the gate of the dormitory according to Leo's orders, and then advanced down the steps of the dormitory. The heavy armor, sharp spears, strict formation, and efficient killing soon made the palace guards frightened, and they no longer had the heart to resist.
With the response of the Wei soldiers, Li Ao and the others finally lightened the pressure, pushed up step by step, and finally joined the Wei soldiers, and came to the gate of the dormitory under the protection of the Wei soldiers.
The palace guards surrounded them in front of the armies of the Wei warriors, but because of the outrageously sophisticated heavy armor, shields, spears, crossbows and other equipment, none of the palace guards dared to be the first to come forward and besiege.
In the palace guards, several of Andrews's cronies shouted one after another: "Protect His Majesty the Emperor! We must not let these people hurt the respected Emperor Majesty, and it is our honor to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
These palace guards are all children of good families who have been loyal to the royal family for generations, and under the encouragement of those with ill intentions behind them, there are really people with blood in their hearts who are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood for His Majesty the Emperor they admire.
Although these palace guards quickly fell under the sharp spears, their actions seemed to inspire all the palace guards, and the guards present invariably rushed towards the military formation of the Wei military guards, even if the people in the front row were stabbed down, the people in the back row still pushed their corpses and continued to advance, trying their best to rush to the dormitory, to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
At this time, Raymond had already led Prince Grantham and Cardinal Owen into the emperor's bedchamber. There are countless giant candles with the thickness of arms that are set off all night to expel the darkness of the dormitory, but now there is no candle flame, and the original solemn style of the dormitory is even more eerie and damp, walking in it is like being in a dark abyss, only the chaotic footsteps of the crowd continue to echo in the empty palace.
Jerry, who was originally in charge of serving the emperor, has been removed from the palace by Ney and Hyakuchi Yushige, and now only His Majesty the Emperor is paralyzed in the bed, and the old emperor who is about to die is lying on the bed, only occasionally making a strange grunt in his throat to indicate that he is still alive.
"Father!" Raymond saw his father in such a miserable scene, and as soon as he lay down on the old emperor's bed, he hugged his head and cried. The Duke of Solo and the Elder Nathaniel behind him also looked sad, unbearable, and resentful.
"Your Majesty, please take action to remove the poison for Your Majesty!" Prince Grantham also had an unbearable look on his face, stretched one arm of his body forward to guide the position of the old emperor, and said to Cardinal Owen who was walking behind.
Cardinal Owen deliberately walked slowly to the back of the crowd, constantly thinking about what kind of results would be brought to the current situation in the Varu Empire if he detoxified the old emperor, and whether it would be in the interests of the Bright Sect.
But at this time, in full view of everyone, Cardinal Owen had to step forward again, it has reached such a point, if Cardinal Owen refuses or deliberately does not work, I am afraid that Prince Grantham and Crown Prince Raymond and others will turn their faces on the spot, in this situation, it is a question whether Cardinal Owen can get out of the palace safely.
Even with all his reluctance, Cardinal Owen had to chant a passage in praise of the god of light, praying for the god of light's favor and preparing for his divine magic.
Outside the palace city, the team of Wei soldiers commanded by Wu Jin firmly suppressed the guards on the city wall, and the knights of light slammed the city gate one after another without fear of sacrifice with the courage of light. The heavy palace gate finally collapsed with a squeaky friction sound under the repeated impact of the knights of light, and smashed into the guards behind the door.
After the city gate was opened, the knights of the Knights of Light rushed in one after another, and the palace guards who came in a hurry were unable to stop the charging knights of light, so they could only be scattered by the knights one by one in vain.
Seeing that the city gate was broken, Commander Andrews on the city wall knew that the general situation was gone, and hurriedly took advantage of his familiarity with the palace to sneak back to the queen's bedroom. (To be continued.) )
