Chapter 31: The palace is in an emergency, and the king is assassinated

As the fortifications were perfected, it became easier to defend. And these mutant monsters also seem to have received orders, and the frequency of each attack begins to decrease, except for more and more numbers, there are no other anomalies. But with these fortifications, there was no chance of breaking through. If nothing else, three days can easily pass.

I've been on the front line, coordinating the operations of my independent battalion, commanding and improving the details of the coordination from time to time, and throwing a Purgatory Flame in front of the soldiers of the gun and shield battalion when they are struggling to defend, this skill is somewhat similar to the Purgatory True Fire Spell in the Fengyun Game and the Earth Fire in the legend, summoning a fire domain in an area, my current strength, the duration can last for 5 minutes. The temperature is extremely high, no worse than the Great Stygian Fire Mantra. But it's more spiritual. And, most importantly - I have experience in killing these monsters, and it seems that I can also get a share of what my soldiers kill, but very little, only between one and five percent. But I can't stand a lot, from the beginning to now, I have been promoted to level 61, and most of the soldiers in our independent regiment are level 58 or 59, if this continues, our overall strength will be greatly improved in three days. You know, after level 60, you are not among the ordinary people.

It seems like it's all under control, but the truth is that there are always some surprises that happen when you think it's okay.

It looks like there shouldn't be moonlight tonight, and it feels like it's going to be dark, and it's the first time I've seen a moonless night in this world. Wang Jin ran over to me and told me that Wang Cheng had come to reinforcements. I asked: "How many craftsmen have come from the Ministry of Military Industry, and how many craftsmen have come, let them come now, my independent battalion has been guarding for a day, and many of them are dying of equipment and urgently need repairs." ”

Wang Jin frowned and said, "I didn't see the craftsmen, it was the Praetorian Guards of the palace who came." ”

Hearing this news, I suddenly had a bad premonition, frowning and pondering.

"Moreover, 800 Janissaries came. Wang Jin added.

"It's broken, it's a trick. I shouted.

"I also have a bad premonition, all this, it seems to make some sense. Wang Jin said.

"Of course it doesn't make sense, I didn't say how urgent the war is here, do I? I just want some supplies and some craftsmen to repair the equipment, and he called me 800 Praetorian Guards, and there are only 1,000 Praetorian Guards in the palace. In this way, the royal palace was empty all at once. ”

"You mean, someone wants to ......," Wang Jin asked in surprise.

"You put all the causes and consequences together. I said to him.

From the beginning, Yan Wushu was transferred, and then the new barracks were transferred to our independent regiment, and now the Praetorian Guards are also transferred. You must know that because of the border problem, the regular army is basically all on the border, and the few people around Yan Wushu are the last effective combat force in the royal city except for the Praetorian Guard.

Then in the boot camp, my independent regiment has recently reached the ears of many ministers of the royal palace because of its surprisingly good training results. Naturally, it also attracted the attention of people with a heart, so I was transferred away.

The last step, on the grounds of urgency here, is to transfer the Praetorian Guard as well. That is, they will do it tonight. And now it's getting dark. Plus tonight's night, hehe, a good calculation. However, they missed that I still had a backhand—my assassination battalion. However, I wonder how they managed to transfer the Praetorian Guard, because the Praetorian Guard, except for the commander of the Praetorian Guard battalion, can only be mobilized by the king, and only the king's token can be transferred.

I don't believe that the commander of the Praetorian Guard Battalion will rebel, the Chu family has been loyal and good for generations, and the current Yantian Empire is not so much the king's as the Chu family, the three major generals of the Chu family account for two, the Duke of Jingguo is also the Chu family, and the Praetorian Guard is also managed by the Chu family, under such conditions, they have no reason to rebel, and the most important thing is that the old man Chu is still alive, who dares to mess around? So what is the problem.

"Let's go, let's go meet the head of the Praetorian Guard first. After speaking, Wang Jin led the way directly in front and walked to the pass.

Soon came to the gathering place of the Praetorian Guard, these were not comparable to those recruits before, all of them were level 70 swordsmen, and the commander Chu Jiannan was even more level 90 masters. 800 people stood there, giving a feeling of oppression.

Before I could speak, Chu Jiannan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, came over first and greeted him with a smile: "Hahahaha, this is the forgetfulness of the leader of the Independent Regiment that has been spreading hot recently." Sure enough, the hero came out of the boy. ”

However, I looked at him with a gloomy face, and instead of accepting his compliment, I asked in a deep voice, "Who asked you to come, do you know what your duty is?" I'm just a centurion-level character, but the other side is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the red man next to the king, who can't hug his thighs when others see it, how can I look like I'm a teacher and asks guilt?

Wang Jin pulled me, I slapped his hand away, looked at Chu Jiannan, and shouted: "Tell me, who asked you to leave the palace, have you eaten too well all these years, and you have been flattered by others every day, and your brain is funny?"

Although he didn't know what Xiu Tease meant, he was definitely not praising him. And as a high-ranking Praetorian Guard, the red man next to the king naturally has a temper, and when he saw me so faceless, his face sank, and he said: "Forget the leader, please pay attention to your words." ”

"Fuck your uncle's words, do you know how dangerous the palace is now. "This time, I directly used my spiritual power to release my murderous aura and roared. Chu Jiannan was caught off guard and was taken two steps back.

Without waiting for him to speak, I then asked, "Have you forgotten the duties of the Praetorian Palace or what? When will the Praetorian Palace leave the palace alone and leave the palace at will?"

He didn't know what to say for a moment, but seemed to realize that there was something wrong with this, and after a while he said, "However, I have received a token from His Majesty's Praetorian Palace. Said that there is an urgency here, and now I can't draw other troops, let me come over quickly to support......" After speaking, he stopped, and then seemed to think of something, and shouted: "It's broken, everyone, quickly follow me back to the palace." His Majesty the King is in danger. ”

After saying that, he was allowed to return again, and I stopped him and said, "Wait, this is nearly 40 kilometers away, you should have come over quickly, go back now, and still have the strength to fight? Go and replace my soldiers first, I will rest and recuperate, and I will go over." ”

He didn't ink either, and knew that it was useless to be in a hurry now, so he changed his guard, and I replaced my people and let them rest first, and then let them take the equipment that needed to be repaired to the camp tent for equipment maintenance, and began to repair the equipment for them. Once again, everyone was amazed and disbelieving. "The cloud god is on top, or is there something that the leader of the forgetful group won't do?" a few of the other recruits muttered to themselves when they saw it. And I don't have time to pay attention to these, urgently repair the equipment, there is a system, let alone repair, as long as I am given the materials I can build the equipment. It's just that I'm usually too lazy to do it.

Soon, the equipment repair was completed, and I hurriedly gathered the team without even asking the commander of the palace to get the entrance token, leaving Chef Wang and Wang Jin here. Go straight to the royal city.

A rapid march like ours may be unbearable for ordinary soldiers, but our independent regiment has been training at high intensity every day, so we are basically used to it. Not like I said the Praetorian Guard, rushing back and forth, and the combat effectiveness will be much reduced.

When I was still 3 kilometers away from the royal city, I saw the rescue sentry in the direction of the royal palace in the city rising into the air, and I knew that the action had already begun there. So I rushed the trip again.

When I arrived at the palace, there were more than a dozen people at the door, all of them were Praetorian Guards, and all the wounds were swords in the throat, these were all level 70 swordsmen, and it seemed that they were killed without a little resistance, and I began to worry about the girls in my assassination camp. After all, their level is still a little low.

Walking all the way inside, it was very quiet, and the ground was full of corpses of soldiers in the boot barracks, only a few corpses wearing black assassination suits, these should be the assassins from the Lingfeng Empire.

At this time, the king should be in the dormitory, so I went straight to the Qianyuan Palace, and I was not afraid of not finding the way, because I had a systematic map. In order to arrive faster, no matter what flowers and plants are there, you can go straight and never bypass. Moreover, I deliberately walked from the roof of the house, standing high enough to observe more closely.

Soon arrived at the Qianyuan Palace, and before he arrived, he heard the sound of weapons colliding mixed with all kinds of screams. only to find out that it was not only the black-clothed assassins who attacked, but also a group of sword warriors wearing light armor. The black-clad assassins were stealth and intermittent, fighting with a group of women who didn't know when they would suddenly appear outside wearing a coat that could be found everywhere on the street, these assassins were all level 75 or above, but they were unexpectedly defeated by these people in ordinary coats. I know, these are the girls from my assassination camp.

The most important thing is that the group of light armor sword warriors turned out to be all level 80, about 100 people, almost like entering a no-man's land, step by step to kill the past, they are facing all new soldiers, all of them are only more than 50 levels, this group of level 80 sword warriors, almost one knife one. The square in front of Qianyuan Palace was already full of corpses, all of them were soldiers from the new barracks, and there were only a few assassins on the opposite side, and none of the sword warriors of this kind fell to the ground, which was simply a one-sided massacre.

I felt sad for a while, this is all life, the new barracks originally had more than 10,000 people, but now there are only about 3,000 left, but they did not retreat, and surrounded the entire Qianyuan Palace. The king was standing at the gate of the Qianyuan Palace, surrounded by several shivering ministers and a woman holding a pipa, who was also trembling vigorously.

It was the king, who at this time had put on a suit of armor and looked calmly at the front of him with a large sword. This changed his original weak virtual impression in my heart, and I didn't expect that this king was still a martial king.

I saw that the Thousand Elder of the Warlock Camp was holding his right arm and said to the remaining 50 or so Praetorian Guards: "Later, I will use all my strength to launch the forbidden art to clear the way for you, and you will rush out with His Majesty the King and a few adults." After speaking, he said to himself: "I didn't expect that the old man and I would be retiring all my life, and I wanted to take the new recruits to unload the armor like this, but I didn't expect that today I would be planted in the hands of this group of bastards from Ling Feng Country. ”

Just as he was about to burn the Yuan Shen to launch the last game, he heard a shout of killing outside, and then he saw a group of people holding a shield in his left hand and a spear several meters long in his right hand approaching step by step, and the warlock behind him had already begun to chant and cast spells, and the crossbowmen also stood on the nearby rockery and rooftops, and began to aim at the arrows that the black-clothed assassins basically shot out were not empty, which is why the shooter restrained the assassin, the shooter is not like the warlock to kill a piece, but the single lethality is higher than that of the warlock, and the shooter has an eagle eye skill, you can see stealth things, as long as the level is not too high, the assassin basically can't get close。

Soon the Assassins of the Lingfeng Kingdom had lost nearly half. At this time, a man in black hidden on the roof of a distant house was whispering: hell, how did the independent regiment come back, and besides, where did these damn plainclothes assassins come from. It had been clearly figured out before, and it was impossible for the palace to have this kind of hidden combat power.

After saying that, he disappeared into the darkness and disappeared. This person didn't see me, and I didn't see him, but a second before he disappeared, I saw a big red dot disappear from that location on the system map. But now I'm so focused on the battlefield in front of me that I don't pay much attention to it.

With the arrival of the Independence Regiment, the situation began to reverse. The Assassin on the other side was almost wiped out. These sword warriors, although of high rank, are completely wiped out sooner or later under the pressure of our gun and shield battalion and the fire from behind......

The shield array of the Gun Shield Battalion was advancing step by step, slowly surrounding the group. They also see the situation, and there is no way to do it. Can't move at all. These recruits in their 50s pose no threat to them, but warlocks are different, they can still deal damage to a greater or lesser extent. Even if they are level 80 people, they can't withstand such consumption.

Finally, the Gun and Shield Battalion completed the encirclement, surrounding the group of people in the middle, and as I threw a Purgatory Flame at their feet, the group of people finally couldn't resist and began to come out to suffer casualties. In the end, there is only one level 85 guy left, and he should be the leader of this group.

Seeing that he had no hope of escaping, he said to the woman holding the pipa beside the king: "Xia Yuanyuan, if you don't do it yet, when will you stay?" "Damn, careless. I said to myself, and then shouted, "Get out of the way." "I'm in a hurry. After speaking, she immediately prepared to launch a thunderstorm, but when she saw that at this moment, she slapped the pipa and pulled out the handle, but saw a short sword with a red foot, glowing with cold light, stabbing straight at the king's neck. The king was not a vegetarian either, and even deflected the dagger when it was about to reach his neck, but he was a warrior after all, and he could not move faster than the assassin, and when she saw that she missed the first blow, she prepared to launch a second attack. But she saw a sudden chill in the air arrive first, and then a knife shorter than her short sword stabbed at her neck. Her face changed drastically, she was a level 90 assassination master, but she didn't even notice that there was anyone around her, and she almost capsized in the gutter.

This Xiao Xia Yuanyuan's grandmaster-level assassin is the person who performs the pipa in Zuixianglou, and was recommended to the king to play a few days ago. After that, he stayed in the palace. However, he never had a chance to get close to the king.

Seeing Xie Xian'er appear, I breathed a sigh of relief, if I was there and let the king be injured, it would be shameless. Then all the crossbowmen of the Independent Regiment pointed their crossbows at her in a wave of rain, but they didn't hit a single shot, and they were all dodged, which was a bit scary. However, the king himself was not a vegetarian, so he directly drew his sword and killed him.

Seeing that the assassination failed, she didn't delay, and rushed out directly, and even broke through the defense line of the gun and shield camp directly, and took the knife warrior who had already been seriously injured to injure several of my soldiers, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. I didn't let people chase it, this kind of 90-level big man, we don't even have 70-level people to chase it, it's looking for death.

I walked in, greeted the king, gave a military salute, and did not kneel, but several ministers were upset, and one of them said, "Bold, I still kneel when I see His Majesty." I looked at him with murderous intent and said, "I forget my feelings, kneel to my parents, and besides, no one is qualified to let me kneel." ”

"Including the king?" the king asked, frowning, but smiling.

"It's anyone. "I'm straight to the point.

At this time, the commander of the warlock battalion whispered something in his ear, and he immediately laughed: "Good, good, good, good a kneel to the sky and kneel to the parents, this king is approved, in the future, you can not kneel to this king, and in the future, you can enter and leave the king's palace at will, without notification, without any pass." ”

Several ministers said: "Your Majesty can't, there are no rules, there is no square circle......"

The king directly interrupted him and said, "If you can do what he just did to save this king and you from fire and water, this king will allow you to do the same." "This ......" the man didn't know what to say, so he had to retreat.
