Chapter 134: Rebellion
Almost as soon as the three of them were grappling, the captain of the Krem guard, Okento, had already rushed in with the Krem guard.
"Queen, retreat first!"
Diego yelled. A few more shots at Pavel, who had just gotten up.
At the same time as the shots rang out, the Krem guards had drawn their double-edged axes and charged at the queen and witch hunters.
Dennis could only use all his strength to cast the last spell. I saw the queen leaning over and holding it open with one hand, covering the ground. A faint blue light bloomed from between his fingers, and the ground quickly froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before the Krem guards could rush forward, a wall of ice was in front of them.
"Alves, quick, run!"
Dennis shouted.
The three of them rushed out of the hall in embarrassment.
At this time, inside and outside the palace, there was already chaos. Dark clouds were in the sky, and the nobles and officials who had fled crowded the palace gates, triggering a trampling. The screams continued.
Virgil, the captain of the palace guards, surrounded the entire Bandaga palace with 500 palace guards.
"Virgil, besiege the Inner Palace!
Dennis ordered.
"Open the arsenal and distribute all the silver arrows, what you have to face is not an ordinary opponent, Pavel has become a vampire, those Krem guards know but still follow him, if there are other vampires in this, we don't know!"
Diego the Witch Hunter exclaimed.
Ignoring his messy hair and messy clothes, Dennis mounted a white horse and rushed to the Academy of Magic. Time was running out, and she had to inform all living forces to help her put an end to the rebellion. It should be said that it was more serious than the rebellion, and the tsar himself was the source of this rebellion.
I didn't have time to think about it, one person and one ride, Dennis rode the white horse remnant and galloped to the magic academy.
The dean, Caroline, who had already heard the movement, quickly walked out of the hall and bumped into the queen who was rushing to the palace in a hurry.
"Dennis, what's going on?"
Caroline asked, surprised.
"Pavel is a vampire! There is civil strife in the palace, the nobles are fleeing, and I need your help. ”
Dennis replied breathlessly.
Caroline held the hand of this "daughter" with a look of concern.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Stabilize the order of the city!"
Dennis gasped.
"I see. ”
After Caroline finished speaking, she ordered the maids around her to go to the top floor immediately to ring the assembly alarm.
Not long after, the former commander-in-chief of the garrison, Vladimir, also rushed to hear the news.
"I'm afraid we don't have time!"
Vladimir almost rushed into the Academy of Magic with men and horses. Since the witches knew him, there was no excesses.
"What do you mean?"
Dennis asked, frowning.
"The city guards have defected in favor of Pavel and blockaded the whole city! At the same time, a large number of Moors have sprung up in the city, and now the whole city of Kislev is in disarray. Armed Moorish mobs, armed with basic weapons, have taken over large swaths of civilian areas from Steel Street to the Tower of Eternal Winter. ”
Dennis, who heard the news, almost collapsed...... Events have far exceeded her expectations. Originally, he just wanted to force Pavel to reveal his true form, and then gather all his strength to destroy him. Now, however, three forces are almost evenly matched in the city. Dennis was puzzled as to why the city guards and the Krem guards would support Pavel. She didn't have time to think about it. As for the Moorish forces that poured out of the slums, they were probably the remnants of the Black Rose Knights who had been hiding inside Kislev. I have suppressed this organization many times, but I did not expect it to secretly develop into such a huge armed group. Take advantage of the civil unrest and stand up and try to control the entire city, and then Kislev!
Dennis suddenly felt powerless, it turned out that his father was so important to this kingdom. His disappearance has brought to the surface countless people who secretly oppose him.
"At the moment, we have to choose a foothold. The palace may no longer be our territory. If what you say is true, Vladimir, then, I don't expect it to be long before the city defense forces will approach the palace. Relying on Virgil's Praetorian Guard, it is no match for the city defense army at all, and when the time comes, the Krem guard and the city defense army should be combined inside and outside, and Virgil will not be able to cope with it at all. ”
Caroline calmly analyzed. Dennis suddenly admired her very much, and she could not panic and analyze calmly in this situation.
"So what do we do?"
Vladimir asked.
"I suggest that everyone evacuate to the Academy of Magic. I will organize all the Frost Witches to cast their spells and build an ice barrier around the Academy of Magic to keep the mob at bay and the rebels. Queen, you are now writing to the lords of the north, asking them to quickly organize a coalition army from the north to come to the rescue. The north is your father's territory, and those lords will surely help you with their old feelings. ”
Caroline replied calmly.
At this moment, Dennis finally felt that these people who had left his father by his side were so important. At critical moments, it is these loyal people who rely on them.
"Vladimir, take my hand and let Virgil lead the Praetorian Guard to retreat. Avoid all major roads, retreat from the city trails, and meet at the Academy of Magic. ”
"Caroline, I'm sorry...... I didn't accept you in my heart before. Now, I have to apologize to you for my prejudice and pride in the past......"
Dennis said with tears of grievance.
"It's all in the past. ”
Caroline whispered comfort. A short time later, the tallest tower of frost in the Academy of Magic rang with a crisp bell.
All the Frost Witches immediately stopped what they were doing and ran towards the Hall of Ice Crystals.
The hallway was filled with the sound of tinkling footsteps.
Seeing the Frost Witch gathering from all directions, Dennis couldn't help but burst into tears, remembering that he had led the sisters against the vampire queen Caterina in this way. Now, I have ignored them for too long.
I saw that under the gloomy sky, Caroline turned around, held the Frost Staff in her hand, and walked into the Hall of Ice Crystals step by step. This is the heart of the Academy of Magic. Pillars of Frost from the depths of the earth hold up the Great Dome and provide a constant supply of magical energy for the witches.
"Sisters, Kislev has once again reached a critical moment of life and death, and as Frost Witches, we have a duty, an obligation, to ensure that this kingdom does not fall into the hands of evil men. Pavel had taken refuge with the vampires and became one of them. Now, the whole city of Kislev is in turmoil. Let us once again unite and fight for light and justice. ”
"All the Frost Witches of the Kislev Academy of Magic, I hereby command you to use all your mana to cast the Frost Shield and build an ice barrier. This is our last line of defense, keeping the school safe from the dark vampires. Protect the lives of the queen and her courtiers. ”
Standing in the center of the hall, Caroline gave a high-pitched pre-war speech.
Caroline couldn't help but cry at this scene, once upon a time, she was the one who led these witches......
