Hediway galloped through the royal corridors of the palace, and to his surprise, the corridors were full of royal guards and the men and horses he had sent before, all of which had now turned into corpses that could not speak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Blood stained the vermilion carpet black, leaving a strange texture on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Hediway was stunned as he examined several of the bodies.

"All of them were killed with one sword......

Hediway hesitated whether he should go back and bring reinforcements, but now was the time of the race, and the more time was delayed, the more dangerous the king's life would be.

After a moment of thought, Hediway resolutely continued to run towards the king's bedchamber. Through the deep corridor, Hediway finally came to the door of his bedroom. The blood on the handle proved that the intruder was in this room, but time did not allow for any more hesitation, and he kicked open the half-hidden door and rushed into the dormitory.

In the moonlight, the wielding long sword, the cold light is piercing, and it shines strangely. The blood flower bloomed in the air, and with a "poof", the body that lost its center of gravity fell to the ground, and there was no trace of life again.

"Your Majesty!!"

Hediway suddenly drew his saber and rushed towards the man in black holding a long sword in the center of the bedroom. At this moment, the man turned around, and the clown face on the mask made Hediway feel infinite hatred.

"Boom!"

The sharp hiss of the metal striking echoed through the air, and the two swords clashed, igniting brief sparks. At this moment, Hediway's hand holding the sword was trembling, and anger filled his chest. The man in the orange robe and the female assassin in purple reacted at the same time, wanting to help, but Yega held the sword with one hand against Hediway's edge, and at the same time made a gesture to stop the two with his other hand. The other two immediately stopped their movements and returned to their standby position.

Hediway did not let go of this gap, drew his sword, and immediately cast a cross-cut, Yega skillfully provoked the opponent's sword to dissolve his power, but the experienced veteran general took advantage of the momentum of slack in strength, spun his body, and performed a beautiful roundhouse kick. Yaga avoided it, was kicked hard in the chest, and retreated backwards.

The other two Assassins did not come to their aid, despite the instructions they had received, but apparently they had no intention of asking them to help. Feeling the great humiliation, Yaga regrouped and let out a bitter smile.

"O dog of Anglas, your master is dead now, and you will not be able to do any more than you struggle. ”

"Presumptuous! Your Majesty's name can you call it directly?"

"Stupid, if it's not for someone else's name, what is it for?"

"Then assassin, your name is also called by people, right? I don't want to die under my sword today, it is a nameless rat. ”

"It's a pity that you are the one who died, Uncle Hediway. ”

“？！”

He took off his mask again, and what appeared in front of the old general's eyes was a familiar face, just ......

"Yega?!, yes...... It's you. ”

Lacking the innocence of the past, the eyes on this face were full of resentment and coldness.

"You know me, uncle, and you never visited me when you were in the new palace. ”

“......”

Yaga was telling the truth, since that incident, it is true that Hediway has not visited Yega mother and son once, but this is because he is an extremely loyal soldier. He was convinced that the king's knights were supposed to do everything according to the king's will, unless that would be contrary to heaven. But in fact, Anglas has always been a wise man in Hediway's heart, so as long as it is the king's decision, Hediway has achieved absolute obedience. When Angas demoted the mother and son to the new palace, Hediway did not offer any advice, but he believed that the king must have done so because he had to do it as the king of a country. However, he is indeed silently caring for their mother and son.

Seeing that Hediway fell silent, Yejia's hands stopped trembling with anger, and he couldn't help but sneer, and suddenly raised his long sword and sprinted towards Hediway's chest.

“...... Ahh

The blade pierced three inches below his chest, and an organ in his body was fatally damaged, and Hediway vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Careless, Uncle Hediway, when you used to practice with me with swords, didn't you also teach me not to be distracted by personal feelings in battle?"

Yega, who was buried in Hediway's chest, showed a cruel smile, he slowly drew his long sword, the silver sword light with blood drew a poignant arc in the air, Hediway covered the wound and knelt on one knee. Blood dripped onto the red carpet beneath his feet, soaking in as if he had been sucked. Seriously wounded and against three opponents, Hediway turned his gaze to the queen mother and daughter when he realized that he had no chance of winning. At this moment, they were prostrate on Anglas's back and sobbing.

"At least save both of them. ”

Hediway thought to himself and stood up again. Thankfully, the other two assassins didn't make a move because they took care of Yejia's self-esteem, otherwise with their current self, they wouldn't have the slightest chance to let the queen mother and daughter leave in a one-on-three situation. Even now, even if they abandon themselves, it will be difficult for them to get out of the country in this situation. The enemy is an assassin who can kill the royal guards in the corridor with a single blow. Looking at the wounds of those people outside, it should have been the work of the female assassin in purple clothes in front of her, her huge iron claws were disproportionate to her delicate body, and the whole person exuded a cold aura. No matter how you look at it, he is a master. As for the man in the orange robe, it should be a magician from the analysis of clothing, plus Yega. It's a tricky combination.

At that moment, a strong gust of wind pushed open the closed slate window, blowing out six whale oil candles in the house in one go. Outside the window, lightning and thunder and strong winds were already blowing, which seemed to be a precursor to a storm. Yejia looked out the window, her eyes a little misty. The orange-robed assassin seemed to read his master's thoughts, "My lord, time is running out. The voice was as calm as ice, and Yejia withdrew his sloppy gaze at this time, with a little impatience in his voice, "It's time for the curtain to end!"

A bright light flashed, and the lightning reflected the silver mask of Yaga all over the snow-white, exposing the cold light. With a strong backhand, Yejia wants to use the swordsmanship taught to him by Hediway to kill his master. From the very beginning, Hediway's mind was racing, and he had to think of a strategy to let the queen's mother and daughter escape safely in a limited time. It is precisely because he is a battle-hardened general that he has the courage to look for the backlight in this desperate situation.

Facing the oncoming sharp blade, Hediway blocked it with the blade of his sword, but his steps staggered, and the blade slid towards Hediway's forehead. The blade was close at hand, and Hediway rolled to the side to avoid the fatal blow, but a deep cut was made in the corner of his left eye, and blood flowed down his eyelids, and Hediway's vision was blocked by blood, and he reluctantly closed his left eye.

"Hahahaha! What's the matter, uncle, are you scared?" the second wave of Yaga's attack surged with his laughter. Hediway silently pulled out the dagger from his waist......

"Be careful!" the orange-robed mage reminded Yega loudly, and the sprinting Yega was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly retracted his momentum to dodge to the side, one dagger brushed Yega's black cloak and broke through the wind, while the other two daggers flew in the direction of the other two assassins with unmistakable accuracy. But these two daggers were easily blocked by the woman in purple with her giant claws. At this moment, there was the sound of three other breaking winds, all three of them reflexively evaded, but they suddenly realized that the other three daggers were not flying in their direction, but each of them flew towards an unexpected place. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" After three staggered sounds, the room went dark!

The strong wind had blown out half of the candles in the house, and the remaining three, one in the farthest part of the front, in the opposite direction of the Yega's sudden stab, one behind the orange-robed man and the purple-robed woman, and one behind Hediway, near the main entrance. At this time, the threads of each candle were cut off by Hantiway's waist, and the first three attacks were just a trick, and Hediway's real goal was these candles from the beginning. At the same time, Hediway's tightly closed left eye suddenly opened, and he became the only person who had the ability to move in the dark! It turned out that the previous injury to his left eye was just a trick, and his real purpose was to have light at this moment.

"The dust of the illusory flames flying in the darkness exchange a small sacrifice for a temporary light...... the orange-robed man quickly began to chant a spell, and Hediway had already run to the queen's side, saying "rude!" and picked up the queen and the princess and began to run out of the door. Surprisingly, it took less than 2 seconds for Hediway to go from extinguishing the candle to picking up the queen mother and daughter, and even the orange-robed man's chant couldn't catch up with his speed. But such a speed was caught up by one person. At this time, a female figure with huge iron claws blocked the door, and there was no gap in the momentum. "Damn!" Hadiway couldn't help but spit out, it seemed that the assassin was quite trained.

And the orange-robed man has already completed chanting just three verses of mantras:

“...... Shine in the night, illuminati!"

A small ball of glitter rose from the orange-robed man's hand to the roof, illuminating everything around him.

Yega was getting up, the assassin was blocking the doorway, and the orange-robed mage seemed to be brewing a new spell...... Is it too late for everything?

"General......" Nami, the queen who was wrapped in her hand, groaned softly.

Hediway was about to turn his gaze to the Empress, but found that she had broken free from his embrace and rushed towards Yega.

"Run away with my daughter!" the queen pounced on Yega and hugged him tightly. Yaga roared, wielding the sword in his hand.

"Mother!!!" The young Alicia cried out heartbreakingly, from the appearance of the assassin to the present, this is the first time she has spoken, too much pressure and fear, sealed her voice, and witnessed her father lose his life in front of his eyes, and now his mother is also going to the abyss of death, Alicia's tears welled up from her eyes, she screamed desperately, it seemed that the harder she screamed, the safer her mother became. The long sword pierced Nami's body, but she still held on to Yaga, who went crazy, thrashing and kicking hard, but she couldn't shake off the heavy burden.

"General!!" Nami struggled to maintain her consciousness, feeling like she couldn't hold out much longer.

Alicia tried to break free of Hediway's hand and run towards her mother, but in desperation, Hediway stunned the girl, slammed the orange-robed man with lightning speed, and rushed to the window.

The Assassins in all the rooms had a "Are you crazy?!" expressions. This is the seventh floor! Hediway didn't hesitate to grab the window out, and after the sound of glass breaking, a thunderclap flashed, and Hediway began to fall. Scattered raindrops have fallen in the sky. Hediway fell to the ground faster than a drop of rain. He suddenly flashed his long sword and stabbed it into the crack in the stone wall beside him. The sharp blade sliced through the stone wall, stopping their fall. After staying still on the second floor or so, Hediway protected the princess in front of him, stepped on the wall with both feet, and his body popped up in reverse, falling to the ground with the help of the cushion of the branches in the courtyard.

"Whisper, go chase!" At this time, the queen had lost consciousness, and Yejia hurriedly ordered without waiting for her body to regain her body.

The purple-clad assassin nodded silently and dived into the darkness. The orange-robed mage walked to Yejia's side, still in a voice as calm as water, "My lord, please retreat quickly, the army is about to arrive." ”

Yaga nodded, put on his mask, and flashed into the hallway. The sound of footsteps outside the door was as messy as the sound of raindrops outside the window, and at last, the general's attendants, worried about their superior, arrived at the scene, and saw an orange-robed man standing in the room, their faces were momentarily surprised, and then they all drew their swords from their waists.

"Who?!"

The orange-robed man turned his back to the crowd and touched the mask with his hand, and suddenly the mask shattered and disappeared silently, revealing a thin and delicate face, and he turned around while removing the hat of the robe, and his short blond hair flowed out. When everyone saw the man's appearance, they did not take any attack, on the contrary, they put away their swords, and the knight who took the lead even stepped forward to give a military salute:

"Lord Shangshu. ”

The man who took the lead was none other than Hediway's son, Dean Stannard.

Everyone followed Dean and stood upright, with his right hand crossed to his chest, and saluted neatly to the palace military affairs book in front of him.

"Lord Shangshu, what is going on here, Your Majesty?"

The orange-robed man gestured to the side, and the knights followed his gaze and found the king's body, Dean rushed forward, and after making sure that the king was dead, he hurriedly pounced on the queen beside him.

"The queen is still alive, call the imperial doctor!"

Hearing the unexpected words, the orange-robed man's eyes rarely showed a touch of wavering,

"There's no time, the queen will leave it to me, and you go after the assassins. ”

Dean looked at the queen, then at the orange-robed man, got up and asked, "What about the assassins?"

"The Assassin is the chief of the palace guard, the great general Hediway. Now, I command you to bring your commanders to justice. ”

"What?!" all the knights looked shocked, they knew what Hediway was and couldn't believe their commander would do such a thing.

"Nonsense! How could His Excellency the General do such an assassination!" Dean was so angry that he almost drew his sword.

The orange-robed mage shook his head helplessly, "I can't believe it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, but Hediway did assassinate His Majesty right in front of my eyes." ”

"No, it won't!"

"Presumptuous, do you know who you're talking to?" the orange-robed man's eyes were cold.

"Kalan, I have been with the general for more than ten years, and I know very well what kind of person the general is, and if I believe you, a court magician of unknown origin, today I will be blind. ”

"Then your eyes are really blind, look at your feet, that's the evidence. ”

Dean looked down, noticing something on the floor. He leaned down and picked it up, "This is ...... The general's dagger?"

"Hmph, it seems that you still recognize it, not only this one, but so many daggers were thrown during the battle with me. The fact that he was here just now, but is not there now, is the best evidence that he has absconded in fear of crime. ”

"......" Dean still looked incredulous.

"He took the princess hostage and fled, if you don't chase after it, no one will inherit the blood of the royal family!"

Dean was indignant, threw away the dagger in his hand, and yelled at Karan: "I will chase after the general, and let him tell you the truth himself!"

With that, he led the knights out of the field, and the man named Kahlan was the only one left in the room. He sighed and paced to the queen's side, looking at her slowly rising and falling breasts, verifying the fact that she was still alive.

"It's so sad, wouldn't it be nice to die just now. As he spoke, he put his hand on the queen's head......

Another thunderclap flashed, and there seemed to be a dragon roaring in the sky, did this represent the wrath of the exterminated royal family or the arrogance of sin?
