Chapter 19: The Unexpected
"Everyone, be silent!" The ceremonial officer tried his best to suppress the chaos in the audience with his voice.
"His Majesty is doing this only to achieve lasting peace, and you must understand it, otherwise you will ruin the ceremony."
Redick, meanwhile, scanned the audience with a grim gaze.
Luckily, I was prepared... These croaking guys... There seemed to be a surge of anger rising in his heart: everything he had planned was not approved by them at all.
For the sake of this throne, I did not hesitate to secretly form an alliance with the kingdom of Hastan... I thought I would be able to survive the critical moment, but I didn't expect...
He frowned, his expression full of murderous intent as if he was about to explode at any moment.
He has always taken a stance of exterminating those who obstruct him.
Well, since you're determined to do so, let's see how good I am...
He slammed the armrest of the throne, and everyone in the audience was immediately shocked.
"You, you shameful fellow! If you want to inherit the throne, step over the corpses of us imperial people! A Saint-Winged Emissary raised his hand and pointed to Redick's place.
Reddick smiled coldly.
"Do you think I don't dare?"
Heiko smiled, and he stepped forward.
"Destroying Hastan is the most basic national policy of the Silver Wing, and doing such a thing proves that you are not worthy of being the King of the Silver Wing at all!"
"Tell me, what really happened on that weird night? You shameless traitor! ”
Under his fierce questioning, Reddick remained unmoved.
"That's the way you talk to the king? Then, from now on, you will no longer be the admiral of the kingdom..."
The words fell, and all the participants were taken aback.
As one of the best generals of the Silverwing Kingdom, Admiral Heiko has made supreme feats in many years of war, and is the support and pillar of the kingdom, and now, as soon as the new king ascends the throne, will he kill such people?
The chilling atmosphere suddenly spread among the Silver Wing vassals...
At the same time, several nearby sackcloth-clad men drew their sharp blades and prepared to rush towards Heiko.
However, the Winged Emissaries were protected by Heiko's side.
"We are the Holy Wings, we don't support your decision, please let us go... Also, this general is innocent, I hope you don't really commit violence against him. ”
Reddick's expression instantly turned hideous.
"Is that something you can decide? If you don't support Silverwing's decision, you have to pay for it! He shouted angrily, showing no mercy.
Immediately, more linen-clothed men unsheathed, their bodies as if they were soaked with some kind of evil aura.
"You... He actually ambushed the killer at his enthronement ceremony! A Liuxia envoy said angrily.
"You will regret it, we, the Holy Wing Empire, will become enemies with you, and when your blood is shed, you will regret your decision, especially you, the dark and false king, Reddick."
Reddick twisted his head noncommittally.
"All opponents, take them all!" He said confidently.
Heiko drew the sword from his waist and pointed majestically in Redick's direction.
"Why did you become like this? If King Ethor is still around, he will definitely consider you a traitor! ”
"Put down the sword in your hand. Heck. Redick said insidiously, "If you kneel down and beg for mercy, I will spare you from death..."
At this moment, one of the Liuxia messengers stood up angrily.
"Tyrant! A monarch who is used by his own enemies, absurd, is destined to lose in his own hands. ”
The elves silently turned their heads away, as if they had accepted their fate gladly.
Immediately, the killers swarmed up, and the situation became chaotic.
But at this moment, William and Pelorance remembered their duty.
They swung their swords at Reddick, signaling in code that they had something to say.
"What do you have to say, those two unruly Knights of the Sacred Wings?"
"Your friend in the Holy Wing, there is a token to be handed over to His Majesty." Pelorance replied hurriedly.
"Oh? I almost forgot about it, okay, then spare you and go to the side hall and wait. ”
At his behest, the killers made way for the two of them to make a narrow path.
At the same time, the emissaries were already tied down.
"Put in prison and get ready for war with the Holy Wings!" Reddick exclaimed.
Half an hour later...
The hall had become empty, and the smug King Redick had returned to his living room after completing his enthronement ceremony.
Russell Heartbreaker has been waiting for a long time.
"What does the shadow of the mountains bring to you? Can you show me? ”
Reddick hurriedly dodged.
"Like the sword of life, it is also my secret that has not been passed on."
In the next second, Reddick impatiently opened Fendhal's box.
A faint light flashed through the living room, and Reddick was shocked to discover that a Shadow Stone was hidden in the box.
"There are a lot of such stones in the Silver Wings... Could it be that there is something unusual hidden in it? ”
Well... It shouldn't just be an ordinary magic stone...
So, he brought the gift close to his cheek, wanting to see what was inside.
But in the next second, an atmosphere of fear arose.
The inside of this stone is like a dark and confined space.
The aura of the shadows binds everything, and when it is gone, the power of the rage will pour out like an ocean.
Am I delusional, is it that the Shadow of the Mountains is just playing a joke on me?
Just as he was thinking about it, the Shadow Stone suddenly broke away from his grasp and flew into the distance, and then the shell shattered.
A shadow cheetah, two feet tall, stood in front of Reddick in an instant.
If you look closely, its body is covered in strange lines, its burly body hides extreme agility, and the floating ghostly light covers all the light in the living room like the deepest forest.
Every breath and heartbeat of its heart had disappeared, and only the suffocating aura of terror made the Silverwing King in front of him tremble.
"What do you want to do? Shadow of the Mountains, why are you doing this to me? Suddenly, he seemed to understand the meaning of existence of everything, including the used self, on this chessboard of despair.
He has betrayed the Silver Wing, but now, even the allies refuse to forgive him?
He drew his sword, ready for a final resistance.
It can be said that it was too late and that it was too fast, and the unusually strong Shadow Cheetah instantly pounced forward, and Redick, who had no time to react, was crushed to the ground.
"It's really an unexpected thing..."There were unwilling tears in the corners of his eyes, at this moment, he wanted to call for help, but it was too late.
During the whole process, the heartless person just watched quietly from the sidelines, and his face was not shocked.
