The royal city of Orrut. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The originally noisy city is now quiet, and the brightly lit city seems to have completely closed its eyes and fallen into a deep sleep. On the tall city walls, the soldiers of the Sith Empire were patrolling back and forth, they clutched the weapons in their hands, and watched the darkness around them with the help of the light, these Sith soldiers of course knew that the rebels were already under the city and could attack at any time. Although in terms of their strength, they would not have taken these rebels seriously, but the other party has gifted knights, and the help of the Knights of the Last Age—this immediately becomes different.

Everyone knows how powerful the gifted knights are, and they also know how powerful they are, and the soldiers of the Sith Empire naturally know this better, and in fact, from the current solemn atmosphere, it is easy to detect that the morale of these soldiers is not high. There were even many soldiers who did not look at the ground while patrolling, but looked up at the sky, for fear that in the next moment, the dragon knights of the Knights of the Last Knights would descend from the sky and make them into snacks.

This panic naturally brought a lot of trouble, and in fact it happened almost often in these days that the guards mistook the distant bird for the dragon knight of the Knights of the Last Order, and then issued an alarm, only to discover the original false alarm when everyone was ready in a rage. Tossing and turning like this, the soldiers of the Sith Empire are also a little tired, they are approaching far away from their own country to fight, and now, the battle situation is not in their favor, which makes these soldiers very depressed, but they don't know what to do, plus the matter of the Knights of the End, they are even more at a loss.

"What a deserted city. ”

Standing in the shadows of the corner, looking at the empty street, Yuren pursed his lips, then lowered his head to look at the twin sisters who followed him. "It's a pity, Messiah, Semiya, I was going to take you shopping. ”

There is no bustling scene on the streets of the royal city, which is completely out of line with the standards of a national capital. But it's no wonder, first of all, it's no longer the capital of a country. Moreover, after the fall of the Olut Kingdom before, many people have fled the royal capital with their families. Although many people still chose to stay in the royal capital at that time, with the emergence of the rebel army, there were also many "traitors" among these people, which is no wonder, after all, most people just want to live a stable life. If you face war year after year, you will be abandoned no matter what kind of city you are.

This is the case in the city of Orut at the moment, and as far as the eye can see, it is pitch black in the city of Noda, and there are not even a few lights to be seen, which should have been the time for people to go home and rest and eat, but now it seems that there are no people living in these houses -- but in fact it is exactly that.

This made Yu Lian put down his snacks, if he was not mistaken, then most of the people should have escaped from the royal city this time, as for the small number of people, they will die if they die, if there is really that kind of troublesome situation, then decisively kill them all, and then push the black cauldron to the head of the Sith Empire, simply and neatly, there is no problem.

However, thinking about it this way, in fact, what the situation is, he needs to think about it a little more.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian moved his body slightly, and then stepped back into the shadows again. And just then, a group of heavily armed soldiers walked in front of him, and then quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

This is already the thirty-third batch.

Yu Lian frowned, since entering the royal city, the security has obviously become much stricter (don't ask how he got in, for the three gifted knights and two part-time archmages, it is simply easy to shake the eyes of those ordinary soldiers). It is not surprising from common sense, after all, the enemy is currently in danger, and in order to prevent accidents, it is understandable that the internal security should be carried out. However, what makes Yu Lian a little puzzled is that these people should know very well the strength of the Knights of the End, right, judging from the listless guys on the city wall, the interior of the Sith army is not as peaceful as imagined before, so when patrolling, these guys should also be routine, right, but it took less than an hour to encounter thirty-three patrols? These soldiers are too diligent on patrol, according to common sense, they should be unrelenting at this time, right?

After thinking about it for a long time, You Lian didn't figure out why these soldiers of the Sith Empire were so desperate, but this was not something he needed to worry about, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too big, even if the soldiers of the Sith Empire used their strength to eat, it was impossible to hurt him by a hair, let alone defeat them. And for these guys who did not pose the slightest threat, he did not go to his heart, but quickly turned around, made a gesture to the twin sisters, and then the three of them quietly dived into the darkness, heading in the direction of the royal castle.

Different from the deserted and dark residential area, the castle built against the back of the mountain is brightly lit, and the density of the soldiers in charge of patrols here is also increasing, and You Lian and the others can even meet a group of patrols after walking a few steps, which also makes him really puzzled, after all, such a high-density vigilance is rare, and at this point, it can be said that it is a little neurotic.

Could it be that the commander was already frightened by his name?

Yulian was puzzled, but with the increase in the number of patrols, his actions were indeed affected to a certain extent. No matter how powerful the gifted knight is, there is a limit, not an omnipotent god, if he rushes out directly, then he will definitely be discovered, not to mention whether the other party will have time to escape, once it is discovered, then his plan will be a complete failure.

So Yuren must look for the best opportunity to sneak in.

This was not an easy task, because the castle of the royal city was backed by a high mountain, and the surrounding moat was also full of soldiers, and the only way to enter the royal city from their noses was through the middle bridge, but now the bridge had been hoisted up, and there was no way to pass through it.

What to do?

Yuren frowned, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision.

"Let's go. ”

He whispered to the twin sisters, then turned around again and quickly left.

"Huh?"

At this moment, the soldier who was patrolling on the side seemed to notice something, he looked vigilantly in the direction where Yulian disappeared, and then stopped, after hesitating for a moment, the soldier immediately waved his right hand, and with his gesture, more than a dozen soldiers immediately followed, and then they quickly entered the street.

The originally inseparable formation changed at this moment.

“.........！”

A breeze blows.

The guard standing at the gate couldn't help blinking, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his face, and then he regained his energy and continued his mission. The damn weather, which was already spring and still so cold, was so unbearable to live -- and while the guards were whispering in their hearts, he didn't notice that a small crack had appeared in the door behind him, which had been tightly sealed.

Yuren stretched out his hand and slowly closed the door with his backhand, while Messiah and Semiya looked around vigilantly with their umbrellas. Compared with the tight security outside, the security inside the royal city is obviously not so exaggerated, at least until the current position, standing at the door and looking in, there is no one in sight.

"That commander should be right here. ”

After closing the door, Yulian put his ear to it and listened carefully for a moment, and after making sure that no one noticed anything wrong, he turned around and looked solemnly at the corridor in front of him.

"But brother, this place is so big, how can we find him?"

"Don't worry, we don't need to look for it. ”

Hearing Messiah's inquiry, Yulian raised his eyebrows slightly, and then gave an answer.

"We just need someone to lead the way. ”

It was a night for Carl that was no different than usual.

He stood in the hallway, looking out at the night through the window, vaguely in a trance.

As a member of the Sith Imperial Guard, Carl still clearly remembers how he felt when he first attacked the royal city with the army, and he was extremely excited, full of confidence and pride, he was convinced that the Sith Empire was invincible, and he was convinced that they would eventually win. The kingdom of Orrut has fallen, and the royal city no longer belongs to them, but to the Sith Empire. The symbol is that right now, standing here is himself, a guard of the Sith Empire, not an Orrut. And above this royal city, it was not the banner of Orrut that was flying, but the flag of the Sith Empire.

All this they bought with their own blood and lives.

Whenever he thinks about this, Carl can't help but feel excited.

But now, this mood of his is almost gone.

Like many soldiers, Carl didn't take it to heart when he first heard that there was a rebel in Orrut, on the contrary, he had mocked the stupid, idiotic Orruts in his heart for killing themselves. Your country has perished, and the war has finally disappeared, and now? You yourself will not go through it, but you will start a war again? Isn't this sick?

But soon, the ridicule turned to panic -- and that was after the appearance of the Knights of the Last Rites.

Many of the soldiers of the Sith Empire had not come into direct contact with the Knights of the Last Days, and their idea of what the other side was like was based entirely on hearsay and imagination. But Karl is different, he is not without dealing with the Knights of the End, in fact, when Yuren crossed the border of the Sith Empire, he was blocked from entering the Mage Guild, and finally destroyed half of the city, which is where Carl is stationed.

To this day, the young guard still can't forget the scene, when he was sent to deliver orders around, and then, the terrible, overwhelming fire of the red lotus enveloped everything, and the dark night sky was burned red, and all around him, there were ruins, cries, heart-rending screams, those people fell helplessly to the ground, stretched out their hands, trying to get help, and their sad wails became the main theme of the night. From that moment on, Carl knew how terrible the Knights of the Last Thing was. They only came with just three people, and the whole city was turned into hell.

And now, the situation is even more dire than it was then.

In fact, he had had nightmares countless times, dreaming that when he opened his eyes, the room where he was living was burning, and he threw himself out of the door, trying to find an exit, but as far as he could see, there were only corpses and a sea of fire, and a few dark and uncertain shadows hovering in it, like demons waiting to devour his life at any time. Finally, one of the shadows spotted it, cracked its mouth, smiled greedily, and pounced on it with both hands outstretched. He turned his head and struggled to run away until his cold hands pressed his shoulders ......... "!!"

Karl shuddered violently, and then returned to reality. He turned his head uneasily to look around, there were no burning flames, no black corpses, everything was normal. The warm firelight illuminates the quiet, empty corridors, and the precious carpets also bring a sense of comfort and peace of mind. None of them are here and nothing is happening. Thinking of this, Karl finally calmed down, he subconsciously reached out and touched his weapon, and after making sure that it was still in its original position, he was finally completely relieved.

"Okay, keep on the alert, keep on the alert. ”

Carl shook his head, throwing away the strange thoughts in his head, and then he withdrew his gaze to continue his duties. And at this moment......... "hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"Huhuhu......"

A faint, almost nihilistic laugh reached his ears.

"What people!"

Karl jerked around and leaned against the wall, looking around vigilantly and shouting, but nothing but his voice echoed through the hallway, and nothing else.

Is it a delusion, or are you too tired?

The young guard looked around suspiciously, and sighed again, he was really nervous enough, no wonder, after all, even the commander was like that...... But you can't blame him, after all, the opponent is the Ultimate Knights, and even the four heroes of the empire can't resist the terrible forces, what can ordinary soldiers do with themselves?

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"Huhuhu......"

The laughter reappeared, as before, as if it were nothing.

"!"

Karl drew his sword and looked again, but there was still no figure in sight around him, in fact, even he wasn't sure if it was really laughter.

What to do?

After hesitating for a moment, Karl finally decided to go over and take a look, although it is always not good for a person to act at such times, but this is a heavily guarded royal city, and he is responsible for the safest area, in this kind of place, no one can sneak in quietly.

Thinking of this, Karl did not hesitate any longer, he immediately turned around, leaned against the wall, step by step, cautiously and cautiously walked to the end of the corridor where he thought he had heard laughter.

One step, two steps, three steps.

If you turn this corner, you will be dead.

Karl took a deep breath, then jerked around.

Empty.

Only one window shivered softly in the cold wind.

"What, it turns out that the window is not closed properly. ”

Seeing this, Karl exhaled, he reinserted his sword, and then stepped forward to slam the window completely, at this time he no longer paid attention to the strange laughter from before, in his opinion, the sound was not laughter, but the sound of the wind through the crack in the window. Thinking of this, Karl didn't worry about anything anymore, he slammed the window tightly, and then turned to leave--and then his body immediately stiffened in place.

In what should have been an empty place, a pair of girls appeared at this moment, they looked exactly the same, their long black and pure white hair was also so dazzling in the light of the fire, at this moment, these two innocent-looking, cute and lively girls held hands like this, and looked at the guards in front of them with a smile.

"Good evening, big brother. ”

"Good evening, big brother. ”

"Messiah is boring. ”

"Semiya is boring, huh?"

"Would you like to play a game with us?"

"A very, very fun game?"

The two girls chuckled and whispered, and at the same time stretched out their hands, and in the face of this strange scene in front of him, Karl instinctively sensed the danger, he tried to reach out to his waist and take out the weapon, he wanted to shout, inform his colleagues that a suspicious person had invaded the castle, but now, he was horrified to find that he could not move his body at all, he could not even open his mouth, and the voice was completely contained in the depths of his throat, and he could not make it at all.

"It seems that the eldest brother agreed. ”

"So we're going to have to hurry, right?"

The posture of the twin girls did not change, but their eyes were shining with a golden, faint fire, and Karl's eyes were involuntarily attracted by this golden light, looking over, and then, he soon found that the girls in front of him changed from two to four, from four to six............ Subsequently, the whole world completely collapsed in his eyes.

"That's it, brother. ”

"It worked, Dad. ”

When the young soldier in front of him lowered his head, his face was blank, and his eyes were blank and stood in place, the twin sisters finally clapped their hands happily and shouted, and with their voices, Yulian, who had not known where to hide, finally showed his figure and appeared in front of him.

"Well, I need you to do me a small favor. ”

He smiled and looked at the puppet in front of him, which had completely lost itself.

"Could you please take us to the Commander, this gentleman? We're here for the first time, and we don't know the way very well. ”

"Of course...... No......... Problem ........."

The young guard looked up and replied blankly.

"Please......... Follow me......... Let's .........'
