Chapter 51: The Bloody Night of the Imperial Capital

When seeing the supreme ruler of the empire. When the body of the young Fernando XIII collapsed in his arms, Rao Shichard, who had been in a high position for more than ten years, was still stunned by the scene in front of him. The chaos in the Royal Banquet Hall had already begun to spread, and several magicians and a dozen Royal Guards stationed outside the banquet hall rushed in.

In addition to Victor being the only archmage in the empire, there are also two archmages, and Master Karamay, who is close to Luke, was seriously injured, so today it is Master de Silva-Velázquez who is responsible for the security of the entire palace.

Archmage de Silva Velázquez hurried to the scene, and at first glance saw Chad sitting on the ground in despair, the body of Fernando XIII was still in his hands, and the banquet hall was in chaos, many nobles already knew the shocking news, they didn't know what to do, they just instinctively wanted to escape from here, but under the strict guard of the royal guards, everyone stayed in place at a loss.

De Silva-Velázquez crouched down beside Chard, probed Fernando XIII's breath with his hand, and shook his head, Fernando XIII had stopped breathing, and even Archbishop Iber's "Great Prophecy" could not save him.

De Silva-Velázquez stood up, motioned for the two royal guards beside him to come up and remove the young emperor's body, and then vigorously picked Chad up.

Chad had straight eyes and muttered to himself, "Your Majesty is dead, dead, dead in my hands, dead." ”

De Silva-Velázquez frowned, threw Chadra into a corner, and then slapped Chad hard, the pain made Chad come back to his strength, he rubbed his face and said with a wry smile: "De Silva, this time it's a big trouble!"

De Silva-Velázquez's face turned pale, and he quickly calculated for a moment, and then said without mercy: "There are only two ways to go now. ”

Chad sighed and said, "My heart is already in turmoil, you can give me some ideas." ”

De Silva-Velázquez looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said in Chad's ear: "The first way, naturally, is to slowly inspect the assassins, but the consequences are unpredictable, and your majesty died in your arms, no matter what, you can't get out of it." ”

Chad smiled wryly and said, "That killer is Hannah." ”

"Hannah?"

"Hey, I can't figure out if it's or not, but Hannah doesn't know martial arts at all, so how can she kill Fernando with one hit. ”

"It can't be Hannah herself, she's just a low-level maid, and she doesn't have the qualifications to enter here. Maybe it's the Assassin's makeup, but it doesn't matter, whoever the killer is, you and I are going to be finished. Your Majesty died in your arms, and you can't explain whether this so-called Assassin Hannah was a distant relative of yours or whether you sent it in personally. And I, hey, I'm in charge of the security of the palace tonight, this is the first king of the empire to be assassinated in 200 years, and I can't escape. Anyway, it's death, it's better to fight!"

Chad's eyes lit up and he said, "Fight, how?"

"Forcing the palace!"

Chad was startled and hurriedly said, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm sober, Chad. De Silva-Velasquez's eyes showed a fierce light: "Anyway, as soon as Your Majesty dies, you will be the most powerful minister, and I will be in charge of the security of the palace, and luck is on our side, Karamay, who was originally close to Luke, was seriously injured, and no one can be an enemy of me in terms of strength." And Luke has also been relieved of his duties by His Majesty, and now that you have great power, you can mobilize the army of your cronies. The elite of the barracks have been taken north by Orlando, and no one can stop us!"

"But"

"Kill everyone here, then make up a random story and keep Catherine that woman under control. ”

"The throne, what about the throne, the heir to the throne must have Fernando's blood, otherwise, the Holy Knight will not agree. ”

"There are still a few sons and nephews of His Old Majesty in Seabreeze City, and there are no distant relatives of Fernando in this imperial capital, as long as we control everything, and when the time comes, you can find an ignorant child, and you can control the power for another 20 years, and this time there is no Luke to hinder you!"

"This, it's too risky!"

"Chard, don't hesitate any longer, the news of His Majesty's death may be passed out at any time, once the situation is out of control, it will be all over, Bailey is my student, and the two of us are already inseparable. Chad, one step to king, one step to death, there is no third way!"

Chad took a deep breath and weighed the whole plan in a moment, De Silva-Velázquez was right, there was no way back, and Fernando XIII had been pressing him step by step, and if he hadn't been flattering, he might have gone home like Luke to retire.

When he thought that he had worked hard for decades, he could not stand up to a word from Fernando XIII, and the latter was just lucky, with the blood of the royal family flowing in his body, what did he know?

"Okay, then fight this time!" There was no longer cowardice and cowardice in Chad's eyes, he had already thrown aside all his disguises: "De Silva, you immediately mobilize all the forces you can control, block the news with all your might, and my side will immediately send people to mobilize people." The Chamber of Commerce under my command can come up with at least 2,000 people, and I also have many cronies in the imperial capital garrison, and I will send people to let them quickly control all the key points in the imperial capital. ”

"De Silva, when the deed is done, you will be the chief royal magician, what reward do you want?" Chad did not hesitate to promise De Silva Velázquez now that he had torn off his mask.

"Hehe, then leave Catherine to me. De Silva-Velázquez had an ambiguous smile on his face, and after a few laughs, he knew that time was pressing, so he immediately turned around and began to mobilize manpower, and Chad also took his mark from his body and began to mobilize the manpower outside.

Catherine sat in the bedchamber, her feet crossed on a low couch, and she leisurely flipped through the books she had brought her. Catherine wasn't worried about whether the whole plan would be completed tonight, because the first half of the plan was executed by the most powerful killer in the dark world.

A good Assassin has the ability to roam in the shadows, lurking until the target is at its most vulnerable, then striking like a cobra, leaving behind a cold corpse. However, after such a great assassin had undergone arduous training and severe tests, when he had comprehended the essence of power and the art of control, he left the ranks of mortals and stepped into the realm of the gods, becoming a legend.

All classes can reach the realm of legends, and these powerhouses who reach the realm of legends are respectfully called legends. When they become legends, they naturally have a different understanding of power, so each legend can master many legendary abilities, and slowly approach the strength of gods over time.

1,000,000 shiny gold coins in exchange for a Shadow Dancer who has reached the legendary realm is really a bargain. The Shadow Dancer, who only appeared in legends, is one of the most powerful kings of the Dark World, a killer who walks between darkness and shadow, and assassination has become art in his hands.

Shadow Dancers can see in the dark, their bodies can react before they even realize the danger, and their assassination is fleeting, no one has ever seen the true face of the Shadow Dancer, not even the dead, because the Shadow Dancer is the best at dressing up and concealing, and can almost merge with the darkness that envelops him beyond recognition, and some even say that the Shadow Dancer is a humanoid shadow.

However, even for the Legends, it is quite difficult for the dedicated guards to enter the heart of the palace without alarming the tight defenses, as well as the powerful mages and the large number of magic arrays they control, after all, the Shadow Dancer's target is the supreme ruler of this vast empire.

Therefore, Catherine uses space-time teleportation magic to make the Shadow Dancer dodge the defenses outside the palace, giving him a chance to assassinate tonight's target, and Catherine's current job is to keep Christina awake and stay with her all night to wash away her suspicions, although almost no one will suspect her, but it is always a good mistake to be careful.

At this moment, Catherine suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance, and she nodded secretly in her heart, it seems that the first half of the plan has been successful, and the next thing is to see her and Christina's performance. Christina, who was sitting beside Catherine, stood up suddenly, holding the gauntlet of the sword in her hand, and listened vigilantly to the nearer and nearer footsteps.

"What kind of person? It's too presumptuous, don't you know that His Majesty's bedroom is not allowed to break in at will?"

"On the orders of Lord Chad, the Minister of State of the Empire, the thirteenth squad of the Norn Legion has taken over the defense of the dormitory, please get out of the way!"

"Bastard!" a female knight who was guarding outside reprimanded loudly, "When did Chad have this right?

Before the words fell, I heard the sound of weapons handing over from outside, and I had already started to move.

Christina was shocked, and she hurriedly said to Catherine: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, please let me protect you immediately." ”

Catherine closed the book in her hand, smiled charmingly, and said, "I have no habit of leaving others to run for my life. ”

"But you're the queen"

"But I also have the identity of a magician!" Catherine interrupted Christina, "Nana, fight with me!"

With that, Catherine had already stood up, and she muttered the incantation, and a slender flame swirled over her right arm. When the magic was done, a long whip appeared in Catherine's hand, which was entirely made of magical flames. Catherine smiled at Christina and said, "Don't think that magicians are all fragile waste. Before she could finish speaking, Catherine's body was enveloped in a layer of burning flames, followed by a thick layer of stone skin, and finally eight identical mirror images appeared around Catherine.

"Come, my knight!" Catherine's wrist fluttered slightly, and nine different trajectories of flame whips formed a web of fire in the air, and the sound of magical flames burning and the loud sound of flame whips breaking through the air reverberated in the dormitory.

Christina did not hesitate to pull out the long sword, drew a beautiful sword flower in the air, and after doing this, Christina stroked her chest with one hand, and stuck the sword upside down in the ground with the other, and at the same time knelt in front of Catherine, and said loudly with a serious expression: "Swear to serve you, Your Majesty!"
