Chapter 186: Black and White Troubles in the Imperial Capital
Liang Ke listened to Braggot's curses and the moans of the troll guards in his ears, and looked at Grufende's smile in his eyes, but he couldn't grasp his soul that kept moving away, and the anger in his chest could no longer be controlled, he just looked at Achilles with blood-red eyes, and the demon dragon found the determination of the god of the underworld to destroy everything from this look. In an instant, a cloud www.biquge.info of black smoke spread, and Achilles revealed his true body, his feet exerting force, his steely wings waving vigorously, and a moment later, the three-story building of the Imperial Inspectorate turned into a pile of rubble under his sharp corners.
Achilles flapped his wings, shook off the dust, and flew high in the sky, glaring angrily at the fleeing officials of the Inspectorate on the ground, screaming incessantly. The Dark Demon Dragon is good at magic, and he has dozens of ways to instantly wipe out the ants below, but he still chooses to use the Demon Dragon's most primitive attack method to "breathe", because the visual effect caused by this is even more tragic.
The magic dragon's breath was different, as he inhaled, a black and red ball condensed in his mouth, after the ball energy was absorbed, the magic dragon's huge mouth opened, and the ball was wrapped in black smoke and spewed out, and exploded after falling to the ground, and the scorching shock wave instantly carbonized all the creatures within a radius of fifty meters, and all the buildings returned to the most primitive dust.
The continuous explosion woke up the city, and when people saw the dragon that was constantly harvesting poor life with its breath, they realized that this thousand-year-old city was under attack, and no one knew who provoked this evil dragon, and there was no time to dwell on the reason, the woman held the child, the son supported the elderly father, and everyone desperately fled from this terrifying area.
When the captain of the Royal Knights received the news that the black dragon was wreaking havoc on the Imperial Inspectorate, he was training his own troops, and in the memory of Bender for nearly eighty years, the imperial capital had never been attacked, not to mention that the attacker was a terrifying black dragon. The old sword saint didn't care about the unfinished work at hand, and he picked up the ancestral dragon slaying sword and rushed out. According to records, this sword once drank dragon blood, and I don't know if it can reproduce the glory of the past in my hands today.
When the old swordmaster arrived with the "wind step", the Imperial Inspectorate no longer existed, and the original green and neat street could only see pits of different depths, and even a corpse, leaving no traces of blood, but Bender knew that those officials of the Inspectorate must have ceased to exist like their small building.
Under the protection of the black dragon in the sky and the four strange and hideous monsters on the ground, a tall minotaur warrior was transporting the wounded of the demon clan from the ruined dungeon, and a pair of young men and women were busy bandaging the wounds of the wounded, as if they had not seen the Imperial soldiers who had completed the siege.
Bender's heart was full of suspicions, such a combination of humans, beasts, and demons attacked the Inspectorate, the least important institution of the empire, what was the reason? Whatever the reason, he, the commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, had to act immediately. He weighed the situation and thought that with his powerful martial arts, he could break through the enemy's defense line in an instant, and capture the young human who seemed to be the leader. The old swordmaster clenched the dragon sword, raised his left foot and was about to rush out, when the girl in white suddenly turned around and looked at herself coldly, and then the young man also turned to look at him. Through the gap between the two of them, Bender saw His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Cergus, sitting on the ground, also looking at him with a blank expression. Bender quickly retracted his raised left foot, and at the same time raised his hand to stop the soldiers from firing a salvo of bows and crossbows.
Colonel Xerxes, who led the reinforcements, came one step earlier, and when he saw the Legion Commander in person, he hurriedly brought the Inspector who had escaped because he sought reinforcements to report the situation, and the Inspector also knew nothing about the matter, and he couldn't explain it clearly, but Bender still understood the basic situation, and after listening to it, he frowned and didn't know what to do.
Bender had never seen this young man named Aragorn, but his deeds and affairs were thunderous, and of course he knew that this young man had offended Prince Cergus because of Joanna. After the news of the demon invasion came, the old sword master was ready to go to the front line to kill the enemy, this kind of war between races, it is not possible without high-end combat power, not to mention that the demon race has disappeared for thousands of years, no one can say what their strength is, so the old sword master personally asked Claire the Great to fight, hoping to go to the front line for General Shalin.
However, before his request was approved by His Majesty, good news came from the front line that the demons had withdrawn. The military newspaper said that this time it was the magical Aragorn again, who used negotiations to persuade the demons to return to the abyss, and he also took risks alone, followed the retreating demons to the abyss, ready to help the demons solve the problem of survival.
Only the foolish people believe that some people like to fight, and the wise know that the demon race attacked the continent out of an existential crisis. If that wonder boy can really solve the problem of the survival of the demons and make them well-fed, clothed and rich, then naturally he will not think about attacking the continent anymore. Therefore, from this point of view, Bande supports Liang Ke, and sincerely hopes that he can succeed, and even he is ready to wait for Liang Ke to come back successfully, and then make suggestions to His Majesty to promote Liang Ke's title.
But he didn't expect that the Imperial Inspectorate was secretly investigating Aragorn's lawlessness, and using this incident as evidence of the main crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the old swordmaster smelled the smell of conspiracy from it. Now, His Royal Highness the Prince has tortured his subordinates to death, this impulsive boy is furious and dismantles the Supervision Hall, kills all the Inspectors present, and takes His Royal Highness the Prince as a hostage, the situation has gotten out of control, and the mature and steady Captain Bender does not know what to do, but can send guards to the palace to report the news.
Just when he couldn't make up his mind, a gray dragon head appeared in the clouds floating in the sky, and the frost dragon Tyrone also rushed over when he heard Liang Ke's call, although the young dragon didn't like to fight, but the huge body fell suddenly, and it still scared the soldiers present, and they all muttered to themselves in their hearts, "Did the Gallant Empire offend Dragon Island? Why did you send two dragons to trouble the empire at once?" Even though Garente was already the most powerful empire in the human race, he didn't have the courage to face the dragon's wrath, and the soldiers looked at the Bender Sword Saint with blank expressions, hoping that the supreme military commander would make the right choice.
The stalemate between the two sides was quickly broken, and after a commotion, the Empire's superiors finally arrived. The Guardian of the Empire, Ezerifa, accompanied Prince Conrad to Bender's side under the protection of a team of great swordsmen. His Royal Highness listened to the brief report of the Commander of the Bender Army, his brows were furrowed, he had a deep understanding of this young man's stubbornness, he had mastered many high-end powers at such a young age, which made his behavior simple and direct, fortunately, it seemed that the crazy boy had lost some of his anger and did not intend to really be an enemy of the Empire.
Conrad shook his head and sighed slightly, and walked a few steps forward, the guards around him were in a commotion, and His Royal Highness raised his hand to stop their protection. He just looked at the young man opposite so quietly, his face was as calm as water, he couldn't tell whether it was anger or sadness, Liang Ke was holding a compound bow in his hand, a magic burst arrow was tightly fastened to the bowstring, and he also looked at His Royal Highness the Prince opposite.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time, their eyes collided, although they didn't speak, they could read what each other was thinking from each other's eyes, and finally, Liang Ke smiled helplessly, shook his head gently, and called back the magic dragon Achilles hovering overhead, handed the bow and arrow into the hands of the demon dragon who turned into a young man in black, and slowly walked towards Conrad.
The other party's understatement made Azeri and Bende's hearts tighten, as far as they knew, the demonic beasts that could transform into human bodies had to surpass the holy level, that is, the legendary demigod existence, before that, they had only heard that the Dragon Emperor of Dragon Island had reached such a height, but now, ......
"Lord of the Golden Warehouse Aragorn to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Liang Ke ignored their surprise and put his hand on his chest, paying Prince Conrad courtesy among nobles. Conrad withdrew his gaze from Achilles and asked indifferently, "You still admit that you are a lord of the Gallant Empire, a hereditary nobleman personally appointed by His Majesty?"
"I have always been until His Majesty stripped me of my title. Liang Ke's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.
"But how do you explain your current behavior?"
"How do you explain their behavior?" asked Liang Ke, stiffening his neck.
"What did they do?"
"You shouldn't ask me, His Royal Highness Prince Chirgus is there, and he will give you a perfect explanation. ”
The poor prince was again carried by the savage Lord Demon Dragon, and fell hard at Prince Conrad's feet, and at the same time, silently lifted his mental confinement. The aggrieved prince regained control of his body, and cried out with a loud "wow", sobbing and angrily accusing Liang Ke of his evil deeds.
Although Conrad did not like this arrogant and arrogant nephew very much, but he lay on the ground and cried and cried, which really lost the royal dignity, and the prince asked the attendants to pull the prince up from the ground, and saw that although the nephew was crying sadly, there was no injury on his body, and his heart was a little relieved.
Prince Cergus cried darkly, but his mind was very clear, he only accused Liang Ke of how he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and was found to be substantial, and did not say a word about how he arrested and tortured people, and finally he portrayed Liang Ke's rescue operation as a murderous extermination of the magistrate.
"Woo...... Uncle, you didn't see it, in order to prevent himself from being convicted of the crimes he committed, he actually relied on the power of the dragon to kill all the inspectors and destroy all the physical evidence, if you didn't come quickly, I'm afraid my nephew would never see you and his father again, woo......"
Conrad frowned when he heard this, he knew that Cergus was evasive and light, and it was certainly not the whole truth, but that arrogant kid did kill the imperial officials and dismantle the Imperial Inspectorate, and he had to give an explanation. Conrad patted Chirgus on the shoulder, making him stand behind him, and then glared angrily at Liang Ke.
"Is what Chirgus said true?"
"What you see is the truth, but what he says is not. Liang Ke glanced contemptuously at Chirgus, who was hiding behind Conrad's shoulder and staring at him, and replied to His Highness Conrad without humility or arrogance.
"Is there any difference between what I see and what he said?" Conrad was a little puzzled by Liang Ke's philosophical answer, and he looked around to see that many people had indeed died, and the house had been reduced to rubble.
"Your Royal Highness!"
Liang Ke pointed sideways at the troll warrior who was still being bandaged behind him, as well as Grufende, who had closed his eyes forever, and said with an angry face, "You only saw Aragorn's anger, but didn't ask why?"
In fact, Conrad had already seen the wounds, and he knew very well how the ruthless guys in the Ministry of Supervision usually treated prisoners, and he looked at Grufende's cold corpse and asked in a deep voice, "Cergus, what's going on?"
Cergus was secretly happy in his heart, that was the biggest evidence to clean up this rampant boy, he took a step forward, and replied quickly: "Uncle! I have already verified that this guy is the leader of the Imperial Empire, the leader of the bandit 'White-haired Wind', and the Grufende who betrayed his sister. ”
"What I'm asking is, how did he die here!"
"This ......"
Chirgus didn't expect His Royal Highness Prince Conrad to be so calm when he heard the name Grufende, his uncle didn't care about this murderous bandit leader, but asked about the cause of his death, there must be something strange in this, he peeked at his uncle's side face was like water, as if he was angry with himself, and quickly answered cautiously.
"Perhaps...... Maybe it was because he resisted and was injured during the arrest, and he died of his injuries...... He died in the dungeon. ”
"Perhaps, Chergus, don't your subordinates report to you on the arrest and interrogation, don't your clerks keep a record of them?"
"Of course the record. ”
Cergus said confidently: "Our documents are all complete, but it is a pity that he destroyed the evidence, otherwise he could have been convicted now......"
"Hehe! Chergus! You're really a good talker!"
Liang Ke also lost the last patience, and he interrupted Cergus with a sinister smile, causing His Royal Highness the Third Prince to shrink his neck and hide behind Conrad again.
