Chapter 547: The Murderer at the Speed of Light (3)
Dark clouds once again covered the sky.
At an extremely high altitude, six war airships slowly approached with minimal power and quietly stopped above the maple hills of Count Willon.
On the ground, more than a dozen men from the Hydra Palace, armed with a snake-headed scepter, were escorted by a large group of court knights, forming a huge circular encirclement on the ground, enclosing thousands of acres of mountains and forests.
They silently stuck the scepter on the ground, gripped it with both hands, and began to mumble a secret incantation.
On the ground, the iron-gray light streaks quietly spread, and the light streaks in the shape of thorn flowers quickly turned into a large net, covering the entire mountain forest.
Sky, ground, underground, huge enchantments completely blocked this space.
Thousands of court knights, knights of the sea and Dadra, poured into it like flowing water.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound of gunfire in the mountain forest, and in the maple forest, there were guards on duty at night, and they noticed that something was wrong, and they directly pulled the trigger.
There was a crisp sound, and a huge force slammed into the invisible barrier. In the air, a large iron-gray hexagonal grid lit up, and countless black electric sparks burst out from the iron-gray grid.
The voice of the black-clothed man holding the serpent's scepter chanting the secret spell suddenly became high-pitched, and their bodies were surging with deep and powerful power fluctuations like a whirlpool, and above their heads, an invisible existence faintly emerged.
All over the mountains and forests, there were rapid howls.
The Hydra guards in front of them are mercilessly strangling the sentinels in the woods.
Occasionally, there were three or two clashing of weapons, and among the guards stationed in the woods, there was a brazen one who could fight with the Hydra secret guard. Obviously, this is at least the peak fifth-order combat power.
It's just that Salian brings all the elite.
The sentinels in the woods caused them only minor problems, except for a few court knights who were accidentally wounded by rifle bullets and the crossbows of their heavy bows fired indiscriminately, but there were no other casualties.
Thousands of knights marched in and quickly surrounded the castle by the small lake.
The gate of the castle opened suddenly, and a gray-haired, well-dressed old butler walked out with a little panic: "This is the territory of the Celestia family...... House of Celia, asking themselves did not break the laws of any empire......"
More than a dozen court knights thrust their spears into the ground.
On the spear, a swallowtail flag embroidered with the Hydra coat of arms flutters in the wind.
Court Knight, Hydra Coat of Arms Swallowtail Banner...... The old butler's face turned pale suddenly, and he hissed: "According to the code of nobility, the Celestial family ......"
Joe flicked his fingers and chanted a secret incantation.
Suspended in front of him, a hair belonging to Marge exploded with a 'snap', turning into a cloud of black smoke. Then there was a puff of smoke billowing and turning into a sharp sign, pointing slightly to the ground.
Looking at the road signs condensed by the thick smoke, the direction it points to is clearly beyond the coverage of the castle on the ground.
Joe shrugged his shoulders: "Your Highness, obviously, he is underground...... Moreover, it seems that the area underground is not small. ”
Salian nodded, he parted the crowd, strode to the front, looked up and down at the old butler who recited the articles of the noble code loudly and impassionedly, and waved his hand vigorously: "You look like a qualified butler...... But are you really doing your duty? Do you really know nothing about what your master is doing? ”
Several court knights swarmed up.
The old butler screamed, and with a wave of his right hand at his waist, a soft sword hidden in his belt slipped out silently, and a large brilliant rain of light fell on the heads of the court knights with a piercing sound of breaking through the air.
In the crowd, more than a dozen court knights armed with new assault rifles raised their guns and struck.
In the dull roar, bullets far more powerful than the old flintlock rifles whizzed away. The soft sword in the old butler's hand shook violently, and it was hit by more than a dozen large-caliber bullets.
The old butler's swordsmanship is extremely gorgeous, and he clearly follows the path of court swordsmanship.
But his personal strength is obviously only about the third order.
Dozens of bullets broke through the rain of soft sword light and hit him hard in the chest, sending him flying backwards.
The old butler vomited blood, and he collapsed to the ground, rolling his eyes and muttering, "The Celestia family...... I tried my best ......"
With the last bit of strength, he raised the soft sword in his right hand and dragged it down his throat.
A bloody arrow erupted.
A large group of court knights roared into the castle, and the shrill exclamations of the ladies resounded in the castle...... Then, the sound of gunfire continued to be heard, and the heavy sound of crossbow bolts tearing through the air continued to sound.
The Great Caesar stood beside Salian, he listened attentively to the sound coming from the castle, and couldn't help but nodded: "Your Highness, there is at least an elite team of three hundred people in there who are resisting to the death. ”
"Three hundred?" Salian raised his eyebrows: "The Celestia family, I remember, the outside world said that this family has fallen, and even most of the daily servants and handymen have been dismissed, and there are only three or five maids left in the entire family......"
"Here, there are three hundred elite people stationed?" Salian flicked his tongue with a crisp sound, and he raised his right thumb and exclaimed, "Well done, Veron von Silia, well done......"
"Write down my order, and starting tomorrow, let the Ministry of Supervision and the various intelligence services conduct a secret and strict examination of the nobles up and down the empire. I would love to know how many nobles there are in the Empire, just like the House of Silia...... Poor Baba, but harboring evil intentions! ”
'Boom, boom, boom', a dozen huge grenade explosions were heard in a row, and a piercing scream rang out inside the castle, apparently quite a few people were injured by the grenades.
Soon, a court knight with a bleeding shoulder strode out: "I found the entrance to the secret passage, and the resistance inside is fierce!" ”
Salian had a gloomy face, put his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice: "Tell the people inside that if you don't come out and surrender, pour fire oil into it, and burn it all out." ”
The court knight turned and ran back to the castle.
After a while, he ran back and said to Salian with a look of embarrassment: "The people inside say that there are many precious items in it, and once they are set on fire, they will not be able to save them all...... They said the names of many famous paintings, and they were all quite famous. ”
The corners of Salian's eyes twitched violently: "Tell them that I don't care...... Hydra never accepts any threats. Give them the last three minutes, and after three minutes, pour the oil and set it on fire! ”
A shrill steam chirp was heard high in the sky, and a large war airship broke through the thick clouds and descended from the sky.
The airship slowly landed on the shore of the small lake next to the castle, the pod door below opened, and the barrels of fire oil were carried out by the soldiers, and rolled into the castle along the dry grass by the lake.
Three minutes later, cheers were heard from the castle.
Count Veron held the back of his head with both hands, and walked out of the dark passage with an embarrassed expression.
Behind him, there were a dozen men and women who were also embarrassed, each of whom had two Hydra guards standing beside them, surrounded by dozens of court knights. As long as they make the slightest move, there will definitely be no preferential treatment waiting for them.
Step by step, Count Veron walked cautiously in front of Salion.
Nearly a hundred feet away from Salion, the court knights shouted loudly, causing Count Willon to stop.
"Your Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to be here in person."
Earl Willon's white skin was slightly red, and he bowed slightly to Salian with a little shyness: "Seeing you under such circumstances really makes me ...... Shame is inexplicable. ”
Salian grimaced, staring at Count Veron's legs.
"I remember that after your father died of illness, you went through the inheritance procedures in the House of Nobles...... You're in a wheelchair the entire time. ”
Salian sighed lightly: "Do you think everyone is a fool? ”
Count Wei Lun put on a harmless white rabbit appearance, and he said softly: "I know my mistakes, I confess my guilt, respected Your Highness, I am willing to accept the punishment of the imperial law......"
"Really? Do you plead guilty? So, what about that bastard Marge? Salian put his hands behind his back and smiled coldly: "What about Marge? ”
Count Veron looked at Salian in surprise: "Marge? Maggie...... Uh, sorry, who are you talking about? ”
Salian shook his head, grinning and chuckling, "Fulfill him...... Let him only use a wheelchair in the future! ”
A burly knight of Daedra rushed forward, picked up his two-handed knight's sword, which was almost the same height as himself, turned it sideways, and slammed the spine of the sword into both knees of Count Veron.
With two loud bangs, both of Count Veron's knees shattered, and blood spurted out of the broken flesh, quickly staining his leggings made of white silk.
Count Veron let out a terrible howl, and he slammed it to the ground, his hands gripped hard into the frozen iron-hard earth.
"No, no, no...... Ah, ah......" Count Willon snorted hysterically, and he looked up in disbelief as he looked up in disbelief.
Salian's resoluteness was completely beyond Count Willon's expectations.
Salian has a very good reputation in the circle of the imperial nobility, compared to his younger brother Conrad, he is tolerant, gentle, generous, and both in government and military affairs, he is above the level!
When Sarian appeared in front of the nobles and officials of the imperial capital on weekdays, although he had a straight face all the year round, his gloomy face was expressionless...... But he never did anything out of the ordinary, rule-breaking.
All his orders follow the laws of the empire and abide by the rules and regulations of the empire.
Count Veron really didn't expect that he just said two simple words, and Salian personally ordered that his two legs be completely abolished!
This is completely inconsistent with the various descriptions of Salian that circulate in aristocratic circles on weekdays!
Count Veron was covered in cold sweat in pain.
He suddenly remembered...... Salian, he's a hydra too!
In his veins flowed was Hydra's blood!
In normal times, Salian can not be stingy with his tolerance, gentleness, and generosity, and he can behave politely and approachable...... But when the need arises, Salian will not hesitate to reveal his true face.
Chaos, greed, cruelty, ruthlessness...... This is the real Hydra!
"Marge is still hiding underneath, right? Are you willing to die for him? Salian put his hands behind his back, pursed his lips, and laughed softly: "In that case, then you should die for him!" ”
"Shout down below, if Marge doesn't get out of here, the little bastards here, three minutes, kill one!"
Salian's orders were cold and resolute.
