Chapter 81: Assassination I
The flickering lights of the hall seemed a little dim, the atmosphere was silent, and Hiluda was full of confusion in her heart, and she wanted to break this oppressive feeling several times, but she didn't know how to say it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the window, the torrential rain was still pouring, and the water marks on the floor-to-ceiling windows were sliding down rapidly, blurring the dark world.
"What do you mean...... Did I watch my people being slaughtered by monsters, indifferent and indifferent?" she said with some difficulty.
"It's not that you're indifferent, you've done your part by dispatching the army as soon as possible. The Shadow Warrior replied.
"So...... How are you going to deal with the onslaught of refugees now?"
"Trespassing on the Forbidden Palace is naturally a capital offense. ”
"Instead of dealing with the undead, you are going to do it to innocent people?" Hilda's eyelashes twitched, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
"Protecting the goddess of Freya is our innate duty and the highest standard of action. In the face of it, everything must be regressed, and if the queen and the safety of the people were to choose, we would not hesitate to choose the former - and to do whatever it takes. Bardo knelt down in front of her, bowed his head, and said in a categorical tone.
"Why did things come to this...... Why does it have to be this............ What about my army...... Why are they so slow?" Freya said as she clenched her scepter, her eyes dazed, and she spoke incoherently.
"The scale of the demon plague is not large, things will be solved soon, until then, you must be strong!"
"Open the window. ”
Hiluda bit her lower lip and spoke suddenly.
"Queen?"
"I'll tell you to open the window!"
She raised her voice and kept her face calm, revealing a majesty that could not be refused.
"Obey ......"
Hearing this, Bardo raised his head, turned and walked to the window on the side of the courtyard, and glanced at the night at the moment.
The outside was still a black oppression, as if it was covered by a huge cloth curtain, and the terrible screams of countless people were isolated by the noise-proof glass, which sounded a little blurry.
“......”
The Shadow Warrior sighed and opened the window a small slit, and the icy night wind mixed with the torrential rain came in, and at the same time, there were screams and wails magnified dozens of times.
Mixed with the torrential rain and the shouts of the people, it was like a poignant music, which made the atmosphere in the villa even more depressing.
"Queen, you need not blame yourself, all this is the result of the negligence of Mayor Honorine. Monster wreaking havoc will inevitably cause casualties, and it is a pity that Osceden has suffered huge losses, but the queen is in danger and is on the front line to direct the resistance, and single-handedly stop the demon plague - such a thing will only increase your prestige. Bardo felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, and once again spoke comfortingly.
In just a few minutes, the man had prepared the blame man for her, pointing out the direction of operation after the disaster subsided.
"So what about the surviving refugees?" she shuddered as she chewed on the other man's meaning.
"We'll let them tell the truth. The shadow warrior's face was as cold as ice, and he said implicitly.
“......”
Hiluda felt the cold to the bone, and gripped the scepter hard, the only way to keep her awake.
She needs to keep her mind sane, on the one hand, she must stop the spread of the demonic plague, and on the other hand, she must be on the lookout for refugees from flooding the palace.
The rain outside was still very heavy, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were blown into the branches and leaves, and even if they sat on the throne far away, they were still wet by the flying rain. Flashes of electric light shine through the rain curtain and onto the dark courtyard, which is filled with a strange sense of weirdness.
At this moment, she saw that there seemed to be light and shadow floating outside the villa, not like the light of lightning.
"Who's in the courtyard?"
Goddess Freya felt a palpitation and became alert.
"Someone will take care of it. ”
Bardo looked out the window solemnly, scanning the trail of light and shadow, and then quickly closed the window.
Boom!
At the moment when the window was snapped shut, Heroda's gaze fell on the courtyard again, and the wind suddenly rose, and the broken branches and leaves outside the window were blown and rolled up on the ground, like countless ghost claws dancing quietly.
In the depths of the green belt, a figure reappeared, looking at them quietly, his eyes cold.
Hilda's heart sank, and the muscles of her whole body tensed, and she immediately raised her scepter to protect her.
"What people!"
But Bardo was faster than her, and his figure swooped out, shooting into the green belt like an arrow, and his hands were raised outward, setting off a hurricane that directly wiped out all the surrounding trees.
......
"Brother, don't you want to do it yet?"
Beryl raised her head and looked at the branches of the towering World Tree, looking at him suspiciously, her tone a little hurried.
"No hurry, it's not time yet. ”
Sensing the fluctuations of the ring, Yalei had a calm expression and suspended in place indifferently.
......
Whoosh!
The wind caved into the void, and a figure leapt out of the flying foliage, tangled with the shadow warriors.
Almost at the same moment, a series of explosions erupted simultaneously in all corners of the palace, and the sound of violent fighting almost drowned out the thunder - it seemed that a huge assassination group was invading the crystal palace of the goddess Freya.
Whew!
Just when Hyruda panicked and didn't know what to do, a scarlet ray hit the chandelier, and the crystal exploded with the light.
In an instant, the interior of the hall was already completely dark, and only a vague outline could be seen in the vast palace, and the dazzling electric light flickered frequently, becoming the only light in the space.
At the moment, the corridor was still lit, and a dim light was shining through the crack in the door.
“......”
The goddess Freya held the scepter and subconsciously ran towards the corridor following the light-seeking nature of human beings, only to rush into the corridor when the lights above her head went out.
It was dark, and there was not a glimmer of light around.
The corridor was silent, and Heroda fumbled against the walls, and soon found the corpses of several attendants, and at the end of these cold bodies, there was a vague figure. 、
She was like a transparent person hidden in the night, holding a sharp blade with cold light in her hand, walking silently in the corridor. There were shadows all around, there was no sound, and all the breath seemed to be drained by the darkness.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you invade my palace?"
"What do you want from me?"
When she saw the scene in front of her clearly, the fear that eroded her heart suddenly covered her body, and she asked three questions in a row, but received no response.
Then, the goddess Freya saw a flower in front of her eyes, and in a trance, the figure flew in an instant, flashing in front of her at a speed beyond vision, and there was only a slender silver trail on the blurred retina.
"It's okay, the guardian of my World Tree, no one can hurt me......"
In the flash of light, she didn't have time to deal with it, so she could only comfort herself like this.
