Chapter 130: The Disaster of the Imperial Family
The Lionheart Legion, from the legion commander downward, was all loyal to Emperor Anthony, so in the face of the approaching of this legion, Prime Minister Severus and Josephine wisely did not approach. Instead, they went in the direction of another legion.
Although the Blizzard Legion is also loyal to the royal family, their loyalty is not comparable to that of the Lionheart. In addition to the complex composition of the Blizzard Legion, there are 3,000 mercenary warriors of the dwarf clan, and their allegiance can only be to the dwarven king. The legion commander is from a large noble family in the Adria Empire, if it is an ordinary minor nobleman or a general from a commoner background, he may swear allegiance to Emperor Anthony, but since he is a member of the great nobles, then Severus is confident enough to move him. After all, as long as enough benefits are paid, the people of the great noble families are able to turn their backs on everything.
Severus and Josephine blocked the path of the Blizzard Legion under the protection of the guards. Baroque hid in the shadows and saw from a distance that a general of the Blizzard Legion had been invited out to meet with Severus. The army of Blizzard Legion behind him actually stopped moving so abruptly.
I don't know what they talked about, but the general of the Blizzard Legion was really moved by Severus. Although he did not immediately fall to Severus and the Empress, he no longer hurried to the palace to reinforce Emperor Anthony. The army was sent out by him and actually began to occupy the surrounding cities of the Imperial City of Duron.
Baroque knew that the Blizzard Legion had made its own decision and intended to remain neutral for the time being. But how could this be allowed to happen? Odria should be in chaos, and no one should want to stay out of it.
Quietly put away the Thunder Eagle Beast Transformation Armor, Baroque's body was covered with a thin layer of silver-white armor, his breath was completely covered by the Wolf Secret Technique, silently, moving like a gust of wind, and the next moment he lost his trace.
Although Severus was a little painful, he paid enough benefits in exchange to finally keep the Blizzard Legion out of the matter temporarily, and he and Queen Josephine were also relieved. The original plan was foolproof. But I didn't expect that at the last moment, the eldest prince Fronnaso suddenly turned against him, although he finally trapped Emperor Antony, but the army loyal to Fronnaso became a friend or foe, and there was no doubt that it would take more strength to block it.
This is also the price that Severus endured to pay a lot. The reason for convincing the Blizzard Legion to be neutral. His Excellency the Prime Minister's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of, and the city around the Dulong Imperial Capital that the Blizzard Legion is preparing to occupy actually happens to block the way of the Grand Prince's legion. Of course, this is something that the people of the Blizzard Legion will not know. Therefore, not long after Severus and Josephine left in a hurry, the Blizzard Legion, which had not yet occupied much space, encountered the legion loyal to the Grand Prince.
Perhaps the commanders of the two legions will meet once, and the solution will be resolved after negotiation. But the Baroque would not give them that chance. He used the Wolf Concealment Technique to sneak up next to the Blizzard Legion Captain, where he suddenly burst into flames and killed him. Then before the surrounding guards had time to react, they quickly retreated, leaving only an extremely faint light and shadow, and no one could see what he looked like.
The sudden assassination of the leader of the Blizzard Legion immediately caused chaos in the Legion. Audria's legions are relatively independent, except for a few legions belonging to the royal family, the other legions are secretly controlled by some large families. As a result, the nobles were able to spend large sums of money to buy the officers and soldiers of the legion. As a result, these legions are more often only obedient to the orders of the commander-in-chief, and their loyalty to the royal family is much weaker. The Audria royal family is well aware of this. But they are powerless to change this situation, because almost all the legions of the Human Empire are like this. The royal family and the great nobles are in charge of the empire together, and this saying is not a joke.
The army that was only loyal to the leader of the Blizzard Legion was faced with the situation where the main general was suddenly killed, and they would not have thought of an orc to deliberately provoke chaos. -- The army loyal to the Great Prince that just appeared undoubtedly carried the black cauldron. Eager for revenge, the Blizzard legionnaires attacked the other side without asking for the reason. Even if some of the calm and dignified commanders noticed the strangeness, they could not stop the angry soldiers. When the other legion, which had suffered a big loss at the beginning, was killed in anger and fought back in full force, this chaotic battle for no reason got out of control.
Baroque smiled with satisfaction after seeing the two legions fighting together, and quietly left. Following Severus and Empress Josephine, it is not known where these two men want to go.
Almost half of the city, the two of them, under the protection of the guards, came to the East City Gate. That's where the Lionhearts entered. Although the Lionheart had entered the city, they also stopped their advance because a sudden appearance of someone slowed their progress.
The second prince, Bukred, has always been low-key, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own ambitions. It began when a rift arose between Anthony and Josephine, and Prime Minister Severus and Grand Prince Fronazor fanned the flames and hatched their own plots. Bucred knew his chance had come!
There is only one emperor in the Odria Empire, and the next one who will be the Grand Prince of Fronnaso will be the next one without any suspense. But once sensing the chaos brewing in the shadows, Bucred knew his chance had come.
He was originally out of the way, but it was his father, Emperor Anthony, who first made overtures to him. It was then that he learned that the eldest prince Fronazor had secretly betrayed the emperor and plotted a rebellion with his mother and Prime Minister Severus. Anthony, who felt weak, used the position of future heir as a bargaining chip and successfully won the support of Buclay.
Brocred was involved in almost all of Anthony's plans to deal with the rebellion, including the transfer of several elite legions and the assignment of the Ultimate Power Phantom Warriors. He did put in great enthusiasm and effort, and even the thousands of guards in his fiefdom sacrificed to support the emperor.
At the last moment, when Bukred was just dreaming of becoming the heir to the Odria Empire, a servant of the emperor's side that he had bribed suddenly came to tell him............ The eldest prince Fronnaso secretly came to see the emperor, and entered the secret room with His Majesty Anthony for a long time.
Already sensing that something was wrong, Brookred calmed himself and pinned his hopes on the Emperor's trustworthiness. Pretending not to know, he found an excuse to see the Emperor and asked some questions that were vaguely related to Fronazus, but the Emperor's performance disappointed him completely. Antony, as if he had never had a secret conversation with Fronazus, was completely perfunctory to Buclayโin fact, it was easy to think that as the eldest prince of first succession, he had an elite army under his command, and the strength of his crown prince's fiefdom was not comparable to that of the prince of Buclay. With the sudden defection of the Great Prince, His Majesty Anthony has enough strength to take up the rebellious Prime Minister and Empress. As for the second prince, Bukred. He's already dispensable!
As it turns out, no one can be underestimated. Feeling betrayed, Bucred went directly to his mother, Josephine, and told her about the rebellion of the eldest prince. Josephine, who was taken aback, was a little flustered, but fortunately, the cunning Severus was calm enough. He quickly thought of a way to deal with it, and so Bukred became extremely important......!
Then what happened next can be understood, the late arrival of the Lionheart Legion and the Blizzard Legion, Prime Minister Severus and Empress Josephine were able to get away from the Emperor smoothly, and even the Legion Leader of the Blizzard Legion could be bribed by interests. It was also Bucred who told Severus that the Prime Minister had successfully blocked the threat from the Blizzards.
In the contrast of strength in the palace, the emperor did not have an advantage at all, and even if it weren't for the more than a dozen phantom armored warriors loyally protecting Anthony, the old emperor would have been captured alive or died in the chaos. Because there are a large number of magicians in the rebel army, and their strategic-level magic giant crossbow is aimed at the emperor, so Anthony and the prince of Fronnaso dare not act rashly. Even with the protection of the Phantom Crystal Armor, once they flew into the air, they believed that the armor's protection was not enough to resist the attacks of the magic giant crossbow.
At first, it was very final, but when the appointed time came. After neither the Lionheart Legion nor the Blizzard Legion appeared in time, the Emperor and the Grand Prince could no longer sit still, and their faces became ugly. It was only then that Anthony noticed that Bucred was nowhere to be found......!
The rebels, loyal to the prime minister, survived the initial scuffle and finally lined up in formation, and the situation changed abruptly. Most of the Emperor's Praetorian Guards were pampered nobles, and they were no match for the elite legions, and they were quickly dispersed. In less than half an hour, there were only a few soldiers left around Anthony, and those Phantom Armor warriors.
It turns out. Phantom armor warriors are not absolutely invincible. A certain samurai wanted to use the power of the Thunderhawk armor to launch an attack, but he was confronted by the magic crossbow arrows that the magicians fired. Nearly 100 magicians had enough mental power to control the magic crossbow, so the two arrows were shot like lightning. That phantom armor warrior couldn't dodge it at all. As the magic crossbow bolt exploded, the poor Phantom Armor Warrior was directly killed, and the others immediately did not dare to act rashly...... , the situation seems to be controlled by the rebels.
The rebels were ordered to kill the emperor and the eldest prince, but after all, those phantom armored warriors under the emperor were the precious wealth of the empire, and the second prince did not want to become the emperor in the future. There aren't enough Phantom Armor Samurai around to swear allegiance. So his offer to Severus was to persuade the Phantom Warriors to surrender as much as possible. This is also the reason why the rebels have been slow to launch a final attack.
It was at this time that the Holy See Apocalypse Belchem appeared with his servants. Even if he was just one person, the prestige of the Apocalypse Holy See was too great, and neither the rebels nor the Emperor Anthony dared to treat him slowly. As Baroque avoids leaving, Belchem is talking to Anthony. Secretly, Daryl, the Wind Scout, naturally won't miss any opportunity to look for a suspicious aura. โโโโโโAnd he already sensed some confusing clues...... There was an aura of Odin Thunder Eagle in the air, which was always very strange, and it seemed to be not quite the same as the cold and rigid aura of those phantom armored warriors, and it seemed to be ......much more flexible and vigorous! When he suddenly flew into the air and chased this breath to look into the depths of the palace, suddenly, the wind scout's face changed, and he shouted: "Belchem Throne, I noticed it...... I sensed the aura of the Golden Phantom Armor Belt, and it was in that palace deep in the palace!"
As any member of the Holy See knows, the Golden Phantom Belt belongs to only one class in the Holy See............ Apocalypse! Belcher's face was expressionless, and the coldness that revealed it was chilling: "Your Majesty, Anthony, please take me to visit your palace! โ
Anthony didn't know about the death of the Apocalypse Attenbona, and Berchester's side knock just now also made him a little ignorant, although he had realized that something was wrong, but he still obeyed the Apocalypse's wishes: "Your Excellency, please come with me." He led Beltum into the depths of the palace and escaped the siege of the rebels.
The rebels were at a loss, they didn't know what to do next............ Damn, no one said that the Holy See would come in! If the Holy See supports the Emperor, the devil will dare to come and start a rebellion!
The Emperor took the Apocalypse to the Imperial Palace, and the people outside did not know about it. The Blizzard Legion has been slaughtered by the army loyal to the Grand Prince. Although the second prince stopped the Lionheart's footsteps, Queen Josephine and Prime Minister Severus would never be able to walk by the second prince's side. Although Baroque didn't know what killer tricks the two of them had to stop the Lionheart, who were loyal to the Emperor, the Dawnstar suddenly informed the Apocalypse that the Apocalypse's breath had entered the palace. Baroque feels that side is the focus of attention. So he attacked again and assassinated Severus. Baroque was ruthless, and he did not have the slightest idea of pity. In the face of Empress Josephine, who was still beautiful and seductive even though she was close to sixty years old, like a young woman in her thirties, she mercilessly swiped her palm and cut off the queen's neck.
With a gust of wind, Baroque vibrated the wings of the Thunder Eagle Beast Transformation Armor and flew away again. Even if Severus had at least five or six powerful guards of the rank of Sky Knight by his side, they couldn't keep him, and they didn't even see his appearance clearly. Although an old woman beside Empress Josephine was unable to prevent the sudden attack, she finally broke out after the tragic death of the Empress, and this was actually a saint-level female warrior, much more powerful than an ordinary phantom armored warrior. She was able to briefly fly into the air and pursue the Baroque.
Baroque, who was already preparing to walk away, did not expect another master to appear, but that was all. Since he received the faith power of the Frostwolf Clan, his strength has been unfathomable. Although he was afraid of attracting the attention of the so-called gods, he did not dare to use the power of faith at will, but at this time, with the power of the Hebrewonian wolf, he was already able to match or even have the upper hand with the Apocalypse, let alone a saint-level warrior?
The power of the Thunder Eagle Beast Transformation Armor was not enough to kill the saint-level warrior in a short period of time, Baroque used the power of the Wolf Morning Star, his palm turned into a sharp wolf claw, teleported like electricity, and under the sudden attack, the old woman's heart was pulled out alive, and the female warrior's face was full of incredulity, and then she fell from the air.
Enough of the mess, the Baroque is ready to leave. He took it when he saw it, and no matter what happened between Anthony and the new Apocalypse, he wasn't prepared to get involved. After all, if he killed an apocalypse again, the terrifying existence in the Holy See, such as the Pope or even the mysterious oracle, would definitely be alarmed. Baroque is not ready to take risks until he has great power in mastering the orcs!
He had already flown out of the city, and suddenly, the morning star shouted in the sea of souls, "Oh no, the Apocalypse is coming after us, in our direction...... The Windwhispering Scout leads the way. Baroque, we've just been spotted with a wolf breath!" )
