Chapter 61: The Beginning of the Collapse

While the battle for the Inheritance Temple is at its peak in fierceness, the main hall of the royal palace is also undergoing a change that is beyond almost everyone's expectations.

"Useless waste!"

Hopps slapped the guard in the face who came to report, and the latter did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and quickly knelt down.

"Lord Duke...... The brothers have worked hard, but the Sky Knights are too strongβ€”"

"Shut up!"

With an angry shout, Hopps directly interrupted the guard's words, "If you can't stand it, you have to push it, this is a death order! Get out!"

"Yes, yes......"

The guards did not dare to refute again, and fled from the main hall in a hurry.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash!"

Hopps snorted, trying to calm his anger before sitting back down.

He couldn't be blamed for being too out of shape, because he had just received a report, and the Sky Knights had obviously been prepared, and as soon as the two sides fought, the palace guards, which were already weaker than each other, quickly lost the upper hand. The guard was sent by the commanding officer, fearing too many casualties, to request support from Hopus.

But where else does he have any support? The only thing he can fight is the assassination force, and the strongest three of them have been sent to help the people of the Ironstone Tribe attack the temple, and the rest can assassinate a few people, really want to fight with those soldiers of the Sky Knights?

I'm afraid that in less than half an hour, the private army he has been building up all these years will be completely lost!

Naturally, Duke Tuttle couldn't help much, because his forces were mainly in the army, and the Second Legion was already under the royal capital, but it was blocked out of the city by the officers close to Bella.

Of course, whether it is Hopes or Tuttle, there are still a few personal guards around him who are constantly protecting him, but these few people are impossible to stop the Sky Knights.

It was a miscalculation this time......

Hops glanced at the ministers in the palace hatefully, and no one dared to look at him except for the second princess Enid.

It can be said that he has thought about everything, but he didn't expect the combat effectiveness of the Sky Knights to be so strong, and he didn't expect that Bella would have such a huge variable as Iro!

For now, I'm afraid that the only way to do this is to defend the palace and wait until the battle on the side of the Inheritance Temple is over!

"Asap and Kairol, why haven't you finished it yet!"

After waiting for a while, Hopps couldn't stand the dull atmosphere in the hall, slapped the arm of the chair hard, and stood up directly.

This sentence was just a vent from him, and Hopps naturally didn't intend to get a response, but the next moment, a coquettish female voice sounded from not far away.

"They can't finish it, we can finish it first, Lord Duke. ”

"You?!"

The moment his eyes met the smiling Enid, Hopps instinctively realized that the situation was not good, and the next second, he saw a magic giant hand suddenly appear in mid-air, crushing towards several heavily armored soldiers protecting Tuttle!

The incident happened suddenly, and the soldiers had no time to dodge, and two people were killed on the spot. Under the tremendous pressure, the seemingly solid armor on their bodies shattered like glass, and then the human bodies and bones also cracked, and a large amount of blood suddenly dyed the red carpet in the palace more and more bewitching!

Several others, including Tuttle, did not die due to the distance, but they were also directly blasted away by the powerful shockwave, and slammed into the wall on the other side of the palace.

"Enid!"

Hopes gritted his teeth as he looked at the second princess, who had always been regarded as a vase, and even though the guards were in front of him at the first time, he took a few steps back in fear.

"What are you doing here, murdering the elders of the country?!"

"Hee-hee, veteran, are you worthy of it?"

Enid didn't change her expression in the face of Hopus's angry rebuke, but just chuckled and brushed her hair.

"Maybe it used to be, but from this day forward, the only patriarch of this country...... It's Grand Duke Jon!"

"How, how could it be ......?"

One word shocked the four seats, not only Hopps, but even Tuttle, who had just risen, and the ministers in the palace all looked at each other - this news is too outrageous, right?

As high-ranking officials, none of the people present were fools, so naturally they understood what Enid meant at the first time.

Her Royal Highness, the princess of the royal family, did not know when, actually colluded with Grand Duke Jon of the Duchy of Stassi, preparing to usurp the throne of Falkenridge!

Even if there are still some sluggish people, when they see the middle-aged man standing respectfully behind Enid, they all understand.

"Stowe, is that you?!"

A viscount exclaimed on the spot, "It's over, it's over, it's the strongest guard under Jon's guy!"

The next moment, the magic giant hand directly crushed him into a mass of flesh and blood.

"Call 'Grand Duke Jon.'" ”

The unremarkable-looking man withdrew his hand and stared directly at the mass of flesh on the ground.

Stowe, who don't have a surname, were the men of Grand Duke Jon who had been taken in during an adventure ten years ago. Stowe's extremely straightforward personality, coupled with his slightly lower IQ than normal, has led to him becoming a non-salty type.

However, although Stowe has legendary strength, he also has a weakness - his sister.

It can be said that his sister is the only one in this world who can really make him obedient. Archduke Jon's ability to subdue Stowe was also by mistake to make his sister fall in love with him first - from this point of view, Archduke Jon's much-criticized amorous personality helped him a lot.

Whatever Stowe had agreed to pledge allegiance to Archduke Jon, there was no point in talking about it now, there was only one thing on everyone's mind.

Stowe is a legend!

"Well, it's so fierce outside, I don't want to talk nonsense. Enid triumphantly sat on the throne of the king, and Stowe immediately stood behind her, "Everyone present immediately supports me in inheriting the throne." Those who do not obey, die. ”

God knows how long she's been thinking about this day!

In Gerald's family, her brother Asaph is extremely powerful, and her sister Bella is precocious, and she is the only one who has nothing to do with it, and has been suppressed by the two. Originally, Bella's secret disappeared, relieving her some of the pressure. But Bella's sudden return a few years ago not only showed deep scheming, but also a series of strong supporters, such as Alec and Iro......

Seeing that his father was about to die, Enid realized that if he didn't take any action, he really wouldn't have a chance at all!

Fortunately, she has no strength or wisdom, and she still has one last weapon.

- A woman's natural weapon.

"See this device on Stowe's chest?"

Enid smiled and pointed at Stowe, who had a small silver machine hanging from his chest, "Don't expect Alec and Bella to save the day, with a single gesture from me, a full ten vengeful knights ambushed by Grand Duke Jon on the outskirts of the royal capital will be teleported directly here - you know what that means, right?"

"Abominable ......"

With Hopps's vision, he naturally understands what a revenge knight is. It is a special battle puppet created by the Dawn Holy See, which is excellent in land, sea and air combat, and also has a super high self-recovery ability, and the more damage it takes, the stronger its strength will be.

It can be said that a revenge knight is no less tricky than a strong man who has just stepped into a legend!

And being able to have ten vengeful knights is also the result of Grand Duke Jon's determination to move closer to the Tadoya Empire in recent years.

If what Enid said was true, it would be the equivalent of ten legends...... Although the Sky Knights are strong, they are not as strong as the bandits can compete with the ten legends!

Hopps was overwhelmed by this completely unexpected change. If it was a matter of strategy, even if a hundred stoos were added up, he could easily play to the death of the other party. But now he was not given a chance to show his schemes.

You know, that's a legendary powerhouse...... Often, in a conventional battle, a legendary powerhouse brings a huge tactical advantage. And now, none of the people present can stand up to the legend - which means that everyone, at this moment, has become Enid's captive...... No, it's the captive of Archduke Jon!

Even Hopus, who has always been arrogant, can't help but marvel at Jon's terrible coming at this moment.

That man, not only has outstanding talent, but also has such amazing vision and intelligence?

It's a bit arrogant to go against such a guy...... Thinking like this, Hopus's expression changed several times, and finally froze into bitterness and helplessness.

However, just as he was about to take the lead in claiming to Enid, an even greater change occurred.

In the underground caverns of the royal capital, Lilia was staring intently at Alec, who was now standing in front of the blood-streaked stone wall, and his mouth was rapidly chanting ominous incantations.

At this time, the hands of this humanoid black dragon were raised above his head, and a huge, black hole-like transparent ball of energy was gradually forming, and even time and space seemed to be distorted around it, showing an extremely strange wave force field, and the center of the sphere was endless darkness.

The transparent energy ball was like a life, pulsating down the earth, like the heart of heaven and earth here, and its breath sucked into the free magic energy in the heaven and earth.

"It's beautiful...... It's amazing!" Lilia's face flushed with excitement, and she muttered to herself in a daze, "The blood refining method is about to be completed, and that one can finally be liberated, hehehe!"

"Alright, metal bastards, feel our wrath!"

The black dragon roared, its face extremely hideous and twisted, and its eyes could almost drip blood, as if it was the sound of a demon swearing that the world was about to be destroyed.

Subsequently, this terrifying ball of energy exploded directly!

At this moment, a devastating energy frenzy suddenly set off in the underground of the royal capital Barrington, and the magical energy danced like crazy in the storm that rolled up out of thin air, and the mages who were meditating were instantly devoured - the light ones were seriously injured and vomited blood, and the heavy ones directly lost their lives!

"Wake up, my lord, the god of the black moon!!"

Accompanied by Alfred's frenzied shouts, Lilia's beautiful face also distorted, and there was a vibration that made this distortion very terrifying-

After a never-ending second, the entire city was shrouded in a terrifying black-red light.
