26. Assault (I went to add more.)
(I was poisoned by Baidu Encyclopedia?)
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Anne was much more radiant than the listless look she had just now. This is the look that a person should look like as the host of this banquet.
After seeing the happy two come out, Ivan didn't say anything more, just nodded lightly.
"It's about time, Anne come with me, and the rest of us go and get ready. β
"Yes. β
It seems that Dolana is clearly the chief of Arthur and Augie, "The final dinner was held in the courtyard, there was no shelter around, I was in charge of keeping watch in the crowd, Arthur was on guard on stage, and Augie was in the dark. β
"Yes!"
The two knights saluted, and then walked out briskly.
Although Lilith didn't think that in this case, there would really be some unsightly guys to make trouble, but the location of the banquet really made her a little uneasy.
If it is better in the house, at least the possibility of foreign enemies is eliminated, but outside the open courtyard, it is really a bit dangerous. The crimson prophecy hasn't been confirmed, and it's not even clear what it is.
"Lilith ......"
"It's okay, it's been negotiated. Sheena won't be wanted anymore. β
"It's nothing to do with her, just Lilith, be careful. "I always felt that tonight was not going to be peaceful. β
Of course, peace is not peaceful, naturally it can't be decided because of Lucifer's words, after all, it has already been decided, Her Royal Highness the princess's celebration, as long as there is nothing abnormal, even if there are stones in the sky, everyone must participate with an umbrella.
After a slight turn, Lilith followed the rest of the nobles' army to the manor, and since there was a birthday, there would definitely be a cake, and then it would be a candle blowout. And after that, it should be another activity that gives Lilith a headache.
Ball.
Although it is not a mandatory thing, since it is here, it must be meaningful. It's just that now I can't even turn around in a circle, and I really don't know what to do when the time comes.
Although many nobles came to participate in the celebration this time, it was not too crowded in the huge manor, because it was not a formal occasion, so everyone also stood everywhere. Although there were still a lot of people around Asmon, it was just that because of Asmon's aura, no one dared to come forward to talk to him.
Most of them invited her for the dance party afterward.
"Everyone, be quiet. β
When the time was up, Ivan slowly opened his mouth, and although he didn't use any amplification equipment, everyone reflexively stopped what they were doing.
"Today is my daughter's twentieth birthday, so it's a little bigger. Ivan looked around, "You don't need any gifts to come here, you just need your most sincere blessings." The time is coming, so please wait a minute. β
After Ivan gestured with his hand, a maid came over with a difficult push, and on the cart was a cake taller than her. Judging from the size of the cake, even if it is for Geraint, it will take a long time to eat.
It's just that this kind of cake is definitely not for eating, well, even if you want to eat it, you will be embarrassed to eat it. This kind of thing is just an ornament on such an occasion.
"Ah, * nobleman. β
Because of the relatively small voice, Lilith's mocking words were not heard by others. But after looking at the cake, a chill crept up Lilith's back.
This cake has too much fruit on it.
Strawberries, cherries, and cherry tomatoes......
Wait a minute...... These are all red fruits, could it be that for me, the crimson future refers to this?
After bringing the carriage legs up, the tired and panting maid stood aside, while Ivan himself lit twenty candles for the princess. The flame-colored candlelight was particularly dazzling under the night sky.
Under the applause of everyone, Anne, who had changed into formal clothes again, stepped forward, and according to the next plan, it was to blow out the candles, which symbolized the arrival of Sister Anne at the age of twenty.
"Lilith!
Just as Lilith applauded Anne, Lucifer's words poured cold water on Lilith's head.
"Huh?"
"There's a murderous aura. β
Lucifer didn't care about explaining, and hurriedly blocked Lilith behind him, and the attention of the surrounding nobles was on the princess who was about to blow out the candles at this time, and they didn't notice Lucifer's words at all.
Murderous?
Does that mean there is a killer? But the palace......
Wait, the killer or something must have a signal to start acting, can it be ......
"Sister Anne!"
However, Lilith's cry was a step too late, and by the time the nobles' attention was drawn to Lilith's shout, Anne had already blown out all the candles on the cake.
And at this moment, the sudden wind also blew a blue rose onto the cake.
It's not something that's supposed to be here.
"For the Blue Rose!"
The first to move was the maid who had just come over with a cart, and while all the nobles in the audience were still stunned, she had already drawn a short gun from her skirt and aimed it at Anne.
No, it's a magic tube. This maid is the Avenger of the Blue Rose.
γBangγ
Along with the gunshots, there was the sound of blades scraping, and at the same time, the maid, who had been shouting for revenge, had disappeared along with the magic cylinder that had broken her hand in two.
Is this also the move of the Blue Rose Magic Force!?Who is their target?
The nobles, startled by the sound of gunfire, were in a mess as if they had suddenly woken up, and just as they were about to flee, a golden light streaked across the trees on the roof.
A long magic cylinder fell to the ground, and a dark shadow on the tree on the other side quickly vanished.
Phantom again?
"Enemy attack! Combat alert!"
Dorana in the crowd was stopped by the fleeing nobles, so she had to shout loudly to Arthur and Augie. However, despite the fact that this was an enemy attack, until now, even the real enemy has not been found.
"Lilith!" Lucifer also didn't care about his identity, holding his spear and guarding around, "Get out of here!Lilith!?"
"Wait!"
Lilith, who was constantly walking against the current in the crowd, had no time to pay attention to Lucifer's words, and now she couldn't run away by herself. At the very least, Sister Anne must be taken away.
"Sister Annie, hurry up!"
"Ahh β
Although she was almost killed by the maid who had pulled out the magic cylinder, Anne quickly recovered from her panic.
"It's okay, Sister Anne!"
Crowding through the crowd, Lilith hurriedly hugged Anne, and Emperor Ivan was escorted by Arthur towards the courtyard.
"Let's get out of here, Lilith......" Anne tried to pull Lilith away, but the next moment her body froze there.
"Hide ......"
Ay?
As she wondered why Anne was suddenly tugging at her Lilith, a pain suddenly came from her back, and at the same time, the necklace around her neck cracked like smashed glass.
It seems that he was shot by a magic cylinder, is this the crimson future that Liss and Pandora both predicted?
Knowing that he would definitely protect Sister Anne first, this kind of future is really not about hiding.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Lilith!?" Although there was no feeling of blood coming out of her hands, Anne was startled by Lilith coughing up blood.
Soon, Lucifer rushed over like crazy and snatched Lilith from Annie, while Mamon flew into the air with a gloomy face.
Although the nobles who saw a demon in the sky were even more frightened, the red-eyed Mammon no longer cared about these things.
A flaming meteor flew from afar, towards Anne, who was lying beside Lilith. This time, however, after a snap of Don Quixote's fingers, it fell like a ball hitting a window.
"There!" Asmun shouted to the heavenly Mamon, "the top of that shopping tower!"
β...... Dare to move Lilith, I want you to go to hell!"
Lilith, who seemed to have fainted from the shock, could no longer see Mammon when she was really angry, and even at night, Mammon with her wings spread in the air still made it impossible for anyone to take their eyes off. Red-black magic swirled around her body and gathered onto the black longbow that was outstretched in her hand.
Even if it was stolen, it could exert unmatched strength in the hands of Mammon. Because the greedy Mamun will use everything for himself.
The arrow with its dark red tail disappeared in the blink of an eye, and she could only be seen on the dark red trail left in the sky. At the same time, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the tower, which had been lit up a moment, had collapsed like a toy.
"Asmon?"
"Sorry, it's too far away for me to feel it. Asmond, who took out his short sword, made a big cut in his long skirt, revealing his white legs, "Compared to these, our troubles are not over yet. β
As Asmun had said, immediately after the assassination from the Clock Tower, dark shadows began to flicker around, one of which was heading towards Anne after finding an opportunity.
"Don't succeed!"
A cold light flashed, and Dorana, who had hurried to catch up, immediately blocked Anne's side, and the black shadow revealed its original appearance because of its whereabouts.
Big orange tail with long ears on the head.
"Alien people, sure enough, the Blue Rose and the orcs are in collusion. β
Soon, around the people who remained in the courtyard, dozens of orcs appeared, quietly waiting for the opportunity around.
"They're all lovely little girls. Asmun slowly walked to Lilith's side, taking the place of Lucifer who was holding Lilith as a guard, and at this time, Lilith's safety was the most important thing, although the target of these orcs may not be Lilith," ...... I couldn't bear to do it. β
"Is enough, Asmon. β
Ma Meng's eyes were red in the air, "...... None of these guys can leave today!"
