Chapter 518: Palace Guards
King Pique flipped his right hand, and a brightly colored fireball shot into the sky with his movements, exploding in the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the behest of King Pique, the Praetorian Guards, who originally guarded the safety of the palace, were gradually replaced by palace guards, at least the entire inner palace has been taken over by palace guards. After receiving the fireworks signal from King Pique, a large number of palace guards in heavy armor poured out of the major palaces, surrounding the side hall where everyone was located.
"Take all the intruders, and kill those who resist!" shouted a general from the Fairman family.
This palace guard was built after the reign of King Pique, and the soldiers selected were all from the major families of Lorraine, and their loyalty to the royal family was enough to be trusted. King Pique also took great pains to build this elite army, and took out a large amount of money from his royal treasury, and almost every soldier's equipment was extremely luxurious.
And now, it's time to test the combat effectiveness of this palace guard. King Pique's fireworks not only informed the palace guards, but even the Praetorian Guards in the outer palace could see it clearly. The fireworks shot from the inner palace obviously indicated that a major event had occurred in the palace, and the general of the Praetorian Guard did not dare to hesitate, while ordering someone to notify the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Michel Ney, while organizing the Praetorian Guards on duty to close the palace gate, and at the same time assembling in the direction of the inner palace.
When the Praetorian Guards entered the inner palace, they were stopped by the palace guards. Although the Praetorian Guard generals were surprised as to why the palace guards wanted to prevent the Praetorian Guards from escorting them, the Inner Palace belonged to the royal palace guards, and the Praetorian Guard generals had no right to lead troops into the palace without a decree, so they had to temporarily stop at the gate of the Inner Palace and wait for the arrival of Commander Michel Ney.
The sound of iron boots stomping on the ground continued to echo around the side hall, and in addition to the palace guards who came from behind the side hall on King Pique's side, many palace guards rushed from the main entrance of the side hall. Dressed in a robe, a big bald head and a powerful look, Immorton, who walked unhurriedly towards the side hall, was surrounded by the palace guards.
A sharp spear with a shiny handle only touched the vital parts of Immorton's body, and if he made any rash move, he would definitely be splattered with blood on the spot. Except for the palace guards who were besieging Immorton, the others continued to rush into the small courtyard in front of the side hall, and they were met by Master Merlin.
This old mage with snow-white hair was once a celebrity in the royal city of Lorraine, and the mage Merlin, who taught magic at the magic academy, was once the guest of honor of the upper nobles of the royal city, and most of the palace guards from the major families knew him. But now is the important moment that His Majesty has explained, loyalty to the royal family trumps favor, those palace guards are just stunned, their feet are slightly stunned, but then they continue to rush over.
However, Mage Merlin did not want to be so amiable as he used to be when he lectured in the royal city, and it would be a big mistake to be fooled by his old face and shabby magic robes, and to think that this was an old and frail old man.
I saw Master Merlin slam the short wooden staff in his hand to the ground and shouted: "Secret Method: Impact!"
As Mage Merlin cast his spell, the palace guards who rushed to the front felt a force so strong that they couldn't resist coming at them, and an entire row of palace guards were knocked out alive, knocking all the guards behind them to the ground. As if they were all in a bowling ball, all the palace guards who rushed in through the main entrance were knocked to the ground by this secret shock.
At this time, I saw the disadvantages of the heavy armor, the heavy armor on the palace guards who bore the brunt of the impact was almost completely deformed under the impact, not only did not provide protection for its owner, but became the torture instrument of the palace guards in the shackles because of the deformation. The palace guards lay on the ground and wailed, but the deformed and twisted heavy armor could not be taken off.
When the palace guards in the back lifted up their fallen colleagues one by one, the palace guards who were hit head-on were already in shock due to excessive blood loss.
These palace guards were not the worst, because the palace guards who cooperated with the dark mages in front of King Pique and planned to take Achilles were even more miserable. Seeing that Achilles ignored the magic attack, King Pique urged the palace guards to take down the warrior.
Seeing the palace guards rushing towards him, Achilles' eyes flashed with excitement. Immediately, ignoring Leo, who was fighting against the dark element, he rushed forward against the palace guards with the long sword in his hand.
Achilles, who once single-handedly suppressed the entire city of Troy, was not only immensely powerful, but also his fighting skills were outstanding. A simple set of parrying and sword-swinging attacks is extremely skillful and accurate to knock down the palace guards one by one. Even when it was time to kill, Achilles grabbed a palace guard with his hand, lifted one of his legs upside down, and smashed it into the place where the palace guards were most concentrated.
At this time, a large group of palace guards armed with bows and arrows poured out from the stone steps of the side hall, and with an order, a dense stream of arrows rained down on Achilles. Unfortunately, Achilles was not shot as a hedgehog or a rat as Pique had hoped.
I saw Achilles raise his hand to gently cover his eyes in front of his eyes, and then let the archers shoot without moving. A dense rain of arrows fell on Achilles almost without any deviation, but in vain they bent and crumbled.
King Pique looked at the stone steps in front of the side hall, what kind of monster was this under Leo? It's not just a matter of magical resistance, even the physical method of bow and arrow attack is ineffective against him, it's just incredible.
If it weren't for the fact that the dragon clan had disappeared from the continent for nearly a thousand years, King Pico would have thought that the warrior in front of him had been transformed by a dragon.
"Go on! I don't believe he can kill everyone, and when he is tired, he must have weaknesses!" King Peake frantically encouraged the palace guards around him to go up and die.
Those palace guards are all from the major families of the royal city of Lorraine, and the interests of King Pique represent their common interests, not only for the kingdom of Lorraine, but also for their respective families and their relatives, so these palace guards rushed to Achilles one by one without fear of death, even if they knew that they were sending them to death, they still rushed forward without hesitation, even if it was just a useless stabbing sword, at least they did their part.
