"Click!"

"Father, did you hear that?" Natasha was alert.

Marshal Yi Wan looked around, but did not notice anything unusual:

"I heard it, the harsh sound of metal scraping, like a cook brushing the pot."

"Click......"

This time it's louder and lasts longer.

One of the guests suddenly pointed to the artwork in the hall and recoiled in horror as he said:

“…… Na...... Move...... It's moving! ”

"What's moving?" Major Bastians, the captain of the guard, frowned: "What is this guy doing with his beard?" ”

Then, he also saw the anomaly:

A knight's armor placed in the corner of the hall suddenly moved,

The joints creaked, the rusted rivets shook, and the steel-armored giant fist waved the giant sword in his hand,

As if his legs were spasmed, he moved and trembled as he slowly moved in the direction of Duke Meyer.

The captain of the guard also panicked: "What the hell is this?" Witchcraft? Protect the Duke! ”

The soldiers raised their standard flintlock rifles and headed at their armor, and the plate armor, helmets, and armor were punched with numerous bullet holes.

Green blood flowed from the bullet holes, and the armor slowly fell.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh...... OK...... It's solid, you can kill it, it's not a fucking ghost! ”

Apparently, some kind of monster was already hidden in the antique armor placed in the castle, just waiting for the wizard's magic circle to drive it, and the target of the assassination was obviously the emperor's eldest son, Duke Mayer Onassis.

As the twelve-pointed star circle pattern on the ground began to burn, more antique knight armor moved.

The captain of the guard scolded, "Damn! That's too much! Why did you put so much armor in the first place? ”

Natasha glanced at her husband: "Show that he is rich." ”

"Stop them and protect the Duke!"

Due to the cumbersome firing process of the flintlock pistol, it took time for the soldiers to reload their ammunition, and there were inevitably gaps in the firepower, and two armors were very close to the Duke of Meyer, and the soldiers had to fight with bayonets.

Although it is very vulnerable to gunpowder weapons, once a head-on confrontation with cold weapons is formed, the advantages of armor are undoubtedly revealed.

"Bang!"

The bayonet pierced the armor and broke, and the greatsword easily cut off the soldier's head and rolled at the feet of a noblewoman, knocking her unconscious.

The monster hidden in the armor was very powerful, and with a one-handed swing of a two-handed greatsword, a single sword could split a soldier in two, approaching the Duke with no one to stop. ”

"Come on, monster, I'm not afraid of you!"

Duke Meyer Onassis bravely drew his sword to meet it, blocking the greatsword's downward slash,

The Duke inherited his mother's bravery, but his sword was overwhelmed, and was slashed by the great sword, and it was almost broken.

At this time, the six guards on the duke's side had all been hacked to death by the armored monster, and he was the only one left to support him.

With his bent saber and pistol hilt, he was so defeated that the monster stabbed his sword.

Fortunately, the Duke reacted very quickly, and a nimble side roll rolled under a table to seek refuge, and the armored monster could not bend down, so he could only slash violently, and the thick oak table top was split beyond recognition.

Natasha couldn't help, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "Father, please, save my husband!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't let my good daughter be a widow!"

Marshal Yi Wanwan had already led people to pounce on him, and he knew that modern sabers and swords were not suitable for ancient armor combat, and if he wanted to fight against them, he needed to return the favor with the other.

So he took the armor-piercing weapon from the knight's war from the antique ornaments on the wall-

A heavy, rusty talking medieval mace.

With his astonishing strength, Ivan knocked the plate armor helmet with a hammer, and the second hammer completely ended the opponent, smashing into mud like a watermelon game, and lifted the deformed helmet armor to see,

It turned out that there were newly dead zombies hiding inside, who had been assassinated by witchcraft to assassinate the duke. No wonder it's so slow and resistant.

At this time, the soldiers' ammunition had been loaded, and a fierce burst of rifles suppressed the armored monsters so much that they couldn't raise their heads, and even the monsters in the armor belt were all beaten into a sieve.

"It's a pity!" One of the bankers began to sigh: "Oh, this antique armor is worth a lot of money, and it won't be worth it if it's broken." ”

The banker's wife glared at her husband angrily: "Your life is going to be gone, but you are still thinking about money!" ”

"Boom!"

The gate was pushed open, and a large number of reinforcements poured into the castle and began to quickly clear the remaining monsters.

Ivan knocked over the armored monster in front of him with a hammer, and then smashed it into a pie:

"Hey, hello, Mr. Zombie, and then, goodbye!

This is greetings from the steppe, nomads! ”

He didn't stretch his muscles for a long time, and when he hit the place of pleasure, he lit a cigar and put it in his mouth to spit out the clouds, threw away the deformed mace, reached out to the Duke of Meyer, and pulled him out from under the table:

"Hey, get up, guy!

I thought you would only do business, it seems that you have inherited the blood of His Majesty's warriors, but there is still a gap between you and your sister. ”

Mayer Onassis was stunned and gasped, "If Edgar is still healthy, these monsters will not be enough for her."

Also, I take back what I said before, Voodoo still has some powerful methods, and it's a miracle that I survived tonight. ”

After half an hour, the ducal castle finally returned to calm,

Whether it's the hall, the hallway, the room, or the garden, everywhere is crowded with heavily armed soldiers.

The sheriff and gendarmes screened out suspected voodoo members from among the guests and took them for interrogation, the wounded were taken to the local hospital for treatment, and the forensic doctor was busy hauling the bodies in bags.

The old pedants of the Institute of the Occult dragged away the monster corpse with excitement on their faces, eager to dissect it.

Natasha smacked her tongue: "These old professors are obsessed with monsters, which reminds me of Constance, the crazy smile makes my heart chill, what a good person, how did he end up in an insane asylum, it's a pity!" ”

"The clouds will eventually dissipate." Meyer comforted his wife: "His Majesty the Crown Prince will be fine, and when he inherits the throne, I will lead the free trade alliance to support it." ”

Yi Wanshui looked at his daughter and son-in-law happily, his heart was happy, he took a puff of cigar, and then coughed.

"Father, you should quit your cigars, this nausea will destroy your lungs sooner or later."

Ivan took out his handkerchief, spat bloody spit, ignored his daughter's advice, and took another sip:

"Of course I know it's not good for the body, but we nomads have a saying, if you don't smoke or drink, you will walk in the world in vain! It's better to live less than to live happily! ”

"Ah, old urchin! Take whatever you want! Natasha shook her hand and left.

Duke Meyer walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand: "Give me two mouthfuls too, father-in-law." ”

"You?"

Ivan turned his head: "Anyone can smoke, but you can't, I'm still waiting to hug my grandson!" Give me a good life! ”

Second, news came from the north,

Voodoo cultists in the empire orchestrated as many as twenty-five assassinations last night,

All kinds of monsters were summoned from the other world to act as murderers, and the emperor ** people saw the horror of black magic.

Its targets included the emperor himself and his children, as well as the imperial prime ministers, generals, and cabinet officials.

Thanks to the proper deployment of security forces, most of the schemes were thwarted.

Prince Maxim Midnet was not so lucky, he fell out with his mother and moved out of the heavily guarded palace.

With the Liberal Party's fighting power, which is the opponent of Voodoo,

The entire headquarters of the Liberal Party was almost torn to the ground by the monster, and more than 100 people were killed and wounded.

Prince Maxim, the leader of the Liberal Party, himself was bitten and scratched by the monster and turned into a bloody man, lying dying in the hospital.

Hearing this, Duke Meyer, worried about his brother and mother, immediately set sail for the imperial capital from the port of Santa Casrella.
