Chapter 270: Strange Attack
The main road of Thundercloud City.
Solandale rode a horse, was protected by Bolton's burly arms, and was surrounded by a forest, arguably in the safest place in the entire Thundercloud City.
But at this time, her heart was blocked, and the cheers that kept coming from her surroundings seemed to be separated by a layer of glass, and she couldn't hear clearly, and her blue eyes looked straight at the distant church, and her expression became more and more uneasy.
It was just a coincidence that the reflection was discovered.
Just now, a balloon in the hand of a child on the side of the road flew away, and Solandelle's eyes followed the balloon, and she accidentally caught a glimpse of the cathedral on the west side, where a mirror-like reflection appeared in the bell room on the top floor, and it was fleeting.
Solandale didn't know what that reflection meant, but as long as she was staring in that direction, her heart was very clogged, and the feeling of depression became more and more obvious, and she couldn't breathe.
It was like a beast lurking in the darkness, staring at her coldly.
Solandale glanced up at Burton, where his brother was still greeting the crowd, his face full of lightness, and he didn't notice anything unusual.
That position, it can't be my brother's secret whistle...
Who is the other party?!
Solandelle's breathing became more and more rapid, and the feeling of oppression coming from the direction of the cathedral made her limbs cold, and cold sweat continued to overflow from her smooth forehead, and she could barely think.
"Knock-" The ancient bell of the cathedral vibrated to symbolize the ringing of the bell at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
At this moment, the tide of danger was released in Solandale's consciousness, and there seemed to be countless rodents crawling all over her body, and she didn't want to directly reflexively pounce on Burton, exclaiming: "Brother be careful!! ”
The church bell room lit up, and a pitch-black and ferocious warhead burst out of the air, wrapped in terrifying kinetic energy, rolling up a small storm in the air, extending in a line, and countless layers of tsunami-like ripples spread, dyeing the entire trajectory into ink, and at a glance it looked like a black giant pillar across the sky!
Although Burton was strong and strong, he was caught off guard by Solandelle, and he lost his balance and nearly fell off his horse.
However, because of the crooked body, Bolton narrowly escaped the scythe of death, and the bullet that was supposed to pierce the heart hit the shoulder, striking a bloody hole half the size of a fist, and the broken bones and blood rushed to the sky, splashing everywhere, and the whole person fell from the horse's back with Solandale.
"Boom !!" It wasn't until the blood mist bloomed in the air and the sound caught up with the speed of the bullet that a loud bang came in the distance, depressing and dull, and the constant ringing in the mind, like a huge bell striking in the ear, shocked people to vomit.
"Assassin!! Assassination of the Prince!! Amid the roar of the guards, the scene fell into a panic, screams erupted, and the people either stood in place at a loss or fled in a hurry.
The guards rushed towards Bolton and Solandale like crazy, one by one, desperately, directly covering the two brothers and sisters with their bodies, and then the eyebrows and hearts appeared, and the surging sun and golden fire burned all over the body, stretching into a barrier that could not be broken, and from a distance, there seemed to be countless more radiant suns in the center of the main road.
Burton was shot defenselessly just now, and his consciousness disappeared for several seconds, and he didn't open his eyes again until the guards hissed and called.
When Burton woke up, he didn't ask about the enemy or his injuries, and the first thing he said was: "Solan... Solan is alright..."
Solandale collapsed into Burton's arms at this time, her delicate body couldn't stop trembling, and she looked up at Bolton at a loss, her face covered in blood.
"Solan !!" Burton was so frightened that his breath stagnated, and he didn't care about the blood hole in his shoulder that was half a fist the size, and struggled to help Solandale check the injury, but after looking through it for a long time and finding no wounds, he realized that the blood on Solandale's face was not hers.
Burton's whole person suddenly relaxed, hugged Solandelle tightly, and his face was full of joy: "The gods are above... It's my blood... That's great... It's great that you're not hurt..."
Growing up in the royal city, she was cared for like a flower, and she had never been so close to death, she was already frightened, her eyes were full of tears, but she felt that crying now would cause trouble for everyone, so she just endured it.
She trembled her hands, and subconsciously wanted to touch Burton's wound, but suddenly realized that this would hurt her brother, so she quickly withdrew her hand and hissed: "Brother... Your wounds..."
Bolton had time to care about his injury, his left arm could no longer be raised, and the severe pain spread from the injury like a tide, constantly stimulating the peripheral nerves, Rao is the head of the barracks, covered with battle scars, at this time he was also in a cold sweat, grinning and said, "What hit me just now?" Ballista?! ”
None of the guards present could answer, only the military doctor hurriedly squeezed in through the gap in the golden fire to help Bolton with emergency treatment.
"Solan! Solan, are you alright?! "Outside the human wall, Lorna tried to rush in, but was blocked by the guards, and now the situation is urgent, and no one is allowed to approach Bolton except for the personal guards and the military doctor.
As soon as Solandelle heard the voice, she quickly shouted, "Nana! I'm fine! Find a place to hide, leave me alone! ”
Hearing this, Lorna breathed a sigh of relief, quickly found cover, and began to guard the surrounding movements.
At the same time, the entire Guards Legion entered the highest combat readiness and completely sealed off the neighboring urban areas, whether it was civilians or Thundercloud City soldiers, as long as they were not from the Guards Legion, they were all controlled as soon as possible, waiting for further investigation.
However, after the loud bang just now, nothing unusual happened, and the assassin missed a blow and disappeared completely.
As the medic treated Bolton's wounds, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and several cavalrymen rushed from the end of the street, led by Grabo, the administrator of Thundercloud City.
The guards are now all soldiers, no matter who you are, the captain of the guards shouted directly with a horizontal sword: "Stop!" Dismount and don't kill! ”
Grabo hurriedly pulled the reins, and it could be seen that he was not lightly frightened, and he couldn't stand on his feet after dismounting, so he fell to the ground with a soft knee, and shouted in a trembling voice through the human wall: "Your Royal Highness! ”
I have to say that Bolton is worthy of being a fierce warrior on the battlefield, just now he entered the ghost gate with half a foot, but now he is not frightened at all, and sneered and joked: "Administrator Grabo, the welcome ceremony in Thundercloud City is really special, this is to celebrate my 25th birthday?" ”
Grabo was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and his whole body trembled: "Is your injury okay?" Does it matter?! ”
Burton said coldly: "Thanks to my sister, my heart is still there, but this arm should not be able to move for a long time." ”
"Sister? Grabo looked at Solandale and asked in horror, "You... You are the Ninth Princess, Your Highness Solandale??? ”
Solandale nodded slightly.
Thinking that he had a conflict with Solandelle in Twilight and almost beat her up, Grabo was so frightened that he almost suffered a cardiac arrest, and he only hoped that Her Royal Highness would not take care of the matter afterwards, otherwise not to mention Daddy, even the Governor would not be able to protect him.
Grabo forcibly stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this assassination of you..."
Burton showed no mercy: "Nonsense! Your territory, not your responsibility, whose responsibility? ”
Grabo hurriedly added: "But I have mastered the situation of the murderer and am issuing a wanted warrant to the whole city!" I beg you to give me a chance to make amends! ”
"Oh?" This efficiency amazed Bolton, who asked, "Do you know who the murderer is?" ”
Grabo nodded heavily, and what he said next shocked everyone present, especially Lorna and Solandelle: "The murderer has been determined to be the administrator of Twilight City, Chino Van Helsing. ”
