The guards of the House of Nobles are actually young masters from noble backgrounds, and if an enemy assassinates the king, they may be desperate to protect them and fight for the family to have a chance to prosper and shine.

But now they really don't want to get involved in this kind of royal murder - between the king, the princess and the princess...... Who knows what the result will be?

So they honestly disarmed and waited for the result outside the House of Nobles.

No one ran around, no one left, no one even talked.

Perhaps there were indeed followers of the Three Prophets among them, but none of them showed anything suspicious - Leon stared at them coldly, and no one wanted to be suspected of complicity in murder or ulterior motives.

The girl rangers stared at the wall, the noble house was already tightly sealed, but Leon still did not rush into the tower.

He's giving orders.

The first order was to seal off the Lion City.

The garrison was ordered to return to the garrison and not to leave the barracks without an order.

The garrison had no objection, after all, the guards of the House of Lords had been disarmed, and these rabble-like garrisons would naturally not be silent anymore.

At the same time, Leon asked the Noldor rangers to separate up and seal all the side gates of Lion City, leaving only the main gate, which had been controlled by the guards.

There are five gates in and out of the Lion City, but only the main gate due north is open on a daily basis.

Because you need to check your identity to enter and exit the royal city, only one main gate can be opened in normal times to save manpower, and of course, the most important thing is to facilitate the collection of gate taxes.

The other gates had their own purposes, including the entrance to the military station, the South Water Gate connecting to the Sava River Pier, and the two side gates on the east and west sides for the transportation of large quantities of supplies.

The entrance to the military station is generally closed for a long time, because entering from the entrance is a passage inside the city wall, which leads directly to the barracks and belongs to the controlled area.

The South Water Gate would not be opened when no noble ships were docked, it was a special entrance for the nobles who could go directly to the palace, and it would not be opened unless it was a task bearer holding a royal decree, or an envoy from another country was visiting from the water.

This is also a waterway fast track for members of the royal family to evacuate the Lion City directly from the inner fort of the royal palace when necessary.

The side gates of the east and west are also called 'morning and dusk gates', because under normal circumstances, a large number of vehicles carrying vegetables, fruits, grains and other materials enter the city at dusk, and there are many vehicles carrying waste out of the city in the morning, so they are opened once in the morning and once in the evening, which is considered a green passage to maintain daily life in the Lion City.

But it was noon, and none of the doors were open.

What Leon had to do was to make these gates impossible to open in a short period of time - he had the Noldor rangers split up and destroy the winch that opened them.

If the winch is destroyed, the heavy gate usually cannot be opened.

The guards brought by Li Ang were not manpowered, only more than 200 Noldo, and half of them had to be divided to control the tower of the House of Lords, and there were no more people to take care of the other city gates, so they simply destroyed the winch and let those doors be sealed directly.

After destroying the other gates, the Noldor Guards took control of the main gates, which was equivalent to controlling the entire Lion City.

However, Leon's control of Lion City at this time was not actually to block people from outside, but to block those who wanted to get out of Lion City—or at least, to delay their time to get out.

There are many nobles living in the Lion City, and every family has a retain or guard.

At the same time, there is a station of the Lion Knights in the Lion City, and there should be a small number of Lion Knights left; There were also some of the king's guards in the palace.

But none of these people knew what was happening in the House of Lords, and they didn't react for the time being.

Therefore, Leon wanted to make them completely unable to react, and they didn't even want to release the news in a short time.

Soon after, one after another Noldor rangers received orders from Leon to quickly go to various places to spread the news.

In this way, the guards who control the main city gate are also very clear - no matter what, don't let the humans leave the Lion City, just let Noldor out of the city.

After arranging all this, Leon led a small group of people into the tower of the House of Lords.

At this time, the king had been in the tower for a while.

However, there has been no sound coming from the tower, and it has maintained an eerie silence, probably because the top of the tower is too high, and if you don't stand at the window and shout, the sound will be difficult to come down.

Leon patrolled layer by layer with his sword, and ordered all the maids he met to leave the tower.

I just walked all the way to the top floor before I heard the voices of several core people - this is also expected, after all, it happened on the top floor.

However, when Leon came to the top floor of the noble house, the scene here was really a bit unexpected for him......

The door to the top floor was not closed, and all four of them were inside, and Ulrik unsurprisingly something was wrong—he fell to the ground with a dinner knife in his stomach and a sword in his neck.

But the problem is that the person who pointed the tip of the sword at Ulrik's neck turned out to be not Anna, but Inna......

Orth held his sword at Anna with an angry face, as if he wanted to make a move, but hesitated—his son Inna stood in front of Anna and held the king hostage.

And Princess Anna leaned against the wall, with a frightened look on her face, and she looked like a poor weak woman......

However, Inna, who pointed his sword at Ulrik's neck, kept shaking his hand.

And Inna looked even sadder than the king, and looked like he was begging for death.

“…… Father, I must protect Anna! I have to protect her......"

As soon as Leon reached the door, he heard Inna speaking to Orth.

Is this silly boy planning to sacrifice himself for love?

"Inna! She's a heretic! She is a heretical prophet! Don't you want to live? ”

Orth said angrily.

"I can't live anymore...... I've already done it to Your Majesty......"

Inna spoke in a choked voice, but stopped halfway through the sentence - for Leon had entered the door.

Leon could generally understand why Inna did this, after all, Anna had his child in her belly, and Inna really hadn't seen the three prophets in real terms - Anna still maintained the appearance of a princess at this time, a weak and helpless aristocratic woman.

"That's her hand! Inna, don't do anything stupid...... Lord Leon can help you, you can't be a monarch killer! ”

Seeing Leon enter the door, Ors seemed to see hope and persuaded again.

But when Inna saw Leon coming in, she seemed to have made up her mind: "Lord Leon, I've been waiting for you to ......"

However, without waiting for Leon to reply, or before anyone could react, he stabbed his sword into Ulrik's neck!

Blood gushed out of the major arteries and spilled all over the floor.

Ulrique is killed!

Killed by Inna?!

Li Ang was stunned, he had just entered the door, he hadn't done anything yet, and he didn't have time to do anything.

"Nope! What did you do! Inna......"

Orth cried out in despair.

"Lord Leon...... You've seen it all...... I plead guilty! ”

Instead of responding to his father, Inna threw down his sword and knelt in front of Leon with his hands outstretched: "Catch me." ”

Leon sighed and glanced at Ulrik on the ground, the king's neck still bleeding and his eyes unblinded.

But strangely enough, there was neither anger nor panic in the king's eyes, nor any look of pain.

Only sadness.

The sadness of despair.

Don't you know that it hurts when you get hit by a sword?

“…… I don't know what I saw...... All I know is that I've got to catch you first, right, Lady Anna? ”

Leon didn't respond to Inna, but walked straight to Anna with his sword, but carefully - he knew how strong the prophet was: "Catch her!" ”

Several Noldor rangers quickly stepped forward to surround Anna.

"Lord Leon! It's me who kills the king! ”

Inna shouted, trying to grab the sword on the ground, apparently trying to stop Leon, but was kicked over by his father Orth and fell to the ground.

"She was the one who killed the king! Don't be stupid! Son! ”

Orth shouted.

But Inna turned a deaf ear, and he crawled in front of Anna and stood in front of Leon: "Lord Leon, I did everything......"

Leon smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Inna, I don't care who did it at all......"

"Hehehe...... Get out of the way, Inna ......"

Princess Anna suddenly laughed, and shook her head with a smile, this action was exactly the same as Li Ang: "In fact, His Excellency Li Ang is the real murderer of the king...... Right, Lord Ors? ”

Orth's face turned pale, but he didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.

Inna glanced back in a daze, and then there seemed to be some kind of joy in his eyes: "Yes, he is the ......"

Only then did Leon understand that Anna had the idea?

She knew about Filina's death, and she could hardly explain it, and no matter how much Ulrik doted on her, it was impossible to ignore what she had seen, or at least doubt.

Even if Ulrique doesn't care about Filina's sister and has to overturn the case for Anna, then Anna must first be put in prison for investigation and trial, and must only be interrogated by 'neutral' ministers - such as Leon, who happened to bump into the matter.

In other words, Anna can't get out, and if she wants to live, she can only coerce the king.

But if Ulrique is coerced, it will be completely impossible to achieve her goals......

So, Anna changed her mind - she killed Ulrique, and used the more serious incident of killing the king to change everyone's attention from the murder of the princess to the murder of the king......

Then, it was planted on Li Ang's head...... Or plant it on any of the great nobles who enter the tower first.

In this way, no matter what Leon says, no one will believe it.

If no one enters the tower, or if the plot is not successful, then Inna will be guilty of murder because he wants to protect Anna and her children......

And Anna is pregnant, pregnant with the king's heir, and as long as she does not reveal her heretical, no one will want her life at this time...... On the contrary, there will be many people vying to protect her!

Li Ang gave Anna a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "The idea is good, but ...... In this noble house, there are only my people left! ”

"Really? Hahaha......"

Anna laughed, and then, she ripped off the belt around her waist and stood up straight: "This lady's dress is really uncomfortable...... Your Excellency Leon! Come and fight me! ”

She's inviting to fight.

She finally stopped pretending to be and faced Leon like a warrior.

Leon took a step back, made a strange sword move, held the sword diagonally, and then wrapped his head around like a sword - he remembered how he had dealt with the Three Prophets before, and only with a trick they hadn't seen before.

Anna really didn't seem to have seen this kind of strange trick of using a long sword as a sword to use Pu, and this was not the sword technique of Pande Continent at all......

And she didn't have anything in her hand to block, and her flesh and blood armor wasn't on her.

But she didn't seem to have any intention of dodging or parrying at all, but directly pulled the strap in her hand towards Leon.

The power of the three prophets Li Ang did not dare to take it hard, even if she was only holding a belt, Li Ang did not dare to take it, so he had to retreat and dodge.

But at this moment, Leon heard what seemed to be a buzzing behind him.

"Buzz ......"

It's the sound of a sword breaking through the air!

"Ding!"

Now Li Ang's ear power is extremely good, his face changed greatly, the sword bypassed the top of his head, and he followed the knife technique just now to protect his head, just barely blocking a sword stabbed from behind.

The sharp griffin sword severed the blade of the backstab, but the flying blade still slashed through Leon's face—the sword was aimed at the neck!

That's Inna.

"Be careful, sir!"

It was only then that the voices of the Noldor rangers warning could be heard. The two Noldor rangers rushed forward and pinned Innor, who was wielding the broken sword, to the ground.

And Orth finally stopped hesitating at this point, and he rushed at Anna, attacking extremely fiercely, and it seemed that he was going to kill Anna.

This prevented Anna from sneaking up on Leon when he turned around to block.

The Noldors also rushed forward, but Anna leaned against the corner, and in this narrow space, there was no room for too many people to do it, and Ors was almost one-on-one with Anna.

But surprisingly, Ors defeated Anna with ease!

Just one owl knight actually beat the 'prophetess to pieces' and was stabbed in the shoulder.

"Humph......"

Anna suddenly laughed weirdly, and then, Anna did something incomprehensible again - she actually jumped off the building!

Just as she was retreating to the window, she swooped out of the tower window just like Filina did!

"No...... Anna...... Not ......"

Insnar wept bitterly and tried to throw himself at the window, but he was held by two Noldor rangers and fell to his knees.

“…… Go down and tie her up! Even if it's a corpse, you have to tie her up! ”

Leon frowned and gave the order, and then looked at Inna: "You don't have to be a monarch killer, Inna. His Majesty was killed by Anna before you could do it, I can see ......"

"Anna ......"

The window was all that was left in Inna's eyes, and she murmured, seemingly unable to hear anything at all.

"That woman is not Anna!"

Li Ang simply pointed to the window and yelled.

Inna looked at Leon in a daze, no longer struggling.

"She shouldn't really be Anna...... I can't defeat the prophetess with my skills......"

Ors also frowned and said, he looked at the tip of his sword and handed it to Inna: "I stabbed her, but she didn't bleed, Inna, you should know what it means......"
