Section 386 - Hole cards are turned
The second prince, Crane, looked at the eldest princess with a complicated face and said, "It seems that you are right, Mo Dai!"
Although he was very reluctant, he still had to admit that the eldest sister was prescient.
The black poisonous smoke wrapped around the outside of the dormitory, and the black poisonous smoke that could not be entered made the princes and princesses pale for a while, if there was no such spell enchantment, the next generation of heirs of the royal family of the Silan Empire was very likely to be wiped out.
If it's still outside, I'm afraid it's even more dangerous.
If it is just a coincidence that the attack of these demon beasts has nothing to do with the mastermind of this conspiracy, I am afraid that none of the princes and princesses present will believe it.
However, it is not only the demon beast Mangyue Devouring Spirit Hunt that is threatening the palace, but also the knight team that rushed into Deland City from the west gate and the south gate, and the mob team that drove out of control civilians in the direction of the palace in the streets and alleys of the city.
It is almost impossible to say that there are no wealthy and powerful people in the city to participate in this rebellion.
"Kill!~"
Outside the palace, the sound of killing shook the sky, and spell arrows slammed into the iron-poured imperial walls, blasting open gaps the size of basins everywhere.
The two converging knights did not have the slightest intention of stopping, as if they didn't want money, they put expensive spell arrows on the knight's crossbow, and fired them at the wall and the palace gate, trying to explode a gap.
A rapid and short chant suddenly sounded in the ranks of the knights, and the fire elemental system fluctuated violently, and a blue-white ball of light the size of a football slammed into the palace gate in front of it.
The dazzling white light flashed, a huge blue-blue fireball rose up, and the winding electric snake flickered from time to time in the unusually colored firelight, and the palace gate engraved with the spell array was like wax, quickly turning red and shiny, softening into a pool of liquid that exuded high temperature, and even the rock bricks stacked and blocked behind the door were affected, and a large hole enough for two war horses to jump into at the same time appeared at the palace gate.
The heat behind the big cave is scorching. The Janissaries screamed.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Reverse the arrows! Where is the caster! Plug the hole!"
There was a cry of anger from behind the palace gate, and the sudden attack intensity was so unexpected that even the incomparably strong palace gate could not resist it.
Another dense burst of spell arrows landed on the hole that had just exploded, and in an instant, the cold air was pervasive, and there was a crackling sound near the scorching hot hole, the temperature dropped sharply, and there were snowflakes in the air.
Several screams rang out from behind the cave entrance, and it seemed that several unlucky Praetorian Guards had been shot by water-based ice spell arrows.
Where the blue-white ball of light flew out, the overloaded alchemy artifact shattered into countless fragments, after withstanding the release of nearly two percent of the spells that exceeded the limit. It fulfilled its mission, was completely scrapped, and could no longer be repaired.
A knight put down his bow and crossbow, lifted the half-body tower shield and the knight's sword, pressed it in front of him, clamped his legs between his hips, and roared: "Prepare to charge!"
The knights were like forwards, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, impartially pointing directly at the big hole that had been melted out at the palace gate. The battle qi rose rapidly, and they turned out to be a team of high-level knights with a strength of at least seven orders or above, even if it was extremely rare in the major empires, if it was put on the battlefield. It's definitely an existence that can turn the tide of the battle.
The mob set up a ladder and braved the rain of arrows thrown from the palace to charge the palace walls.
Using the ladder attack as a cover, the knights with the strongest combat power rushed to the palace gate with all their might. Keitu opens a real gap and leads more rebels into the palace.
Thick arrows shot out from the big hole in the palace gate, and several knights who led the charge were shot to the ground on the spot. Even well-dressed armor is still difficult to resist the powerful arrows of a bed crossbow that can kill a bull in one blow.
This only slightly blocked the momentum of the knights' onslaught, and the knights carrying their own knights, who had fully pulled up their speed, rushed to the entrance of the cave almost in the blink of an eye, and leaped to the sound of neighing.
"Rush!"
The knight on horseback rose with a dazzling battle qi flame, almost enveloping even the people and the war horse, holding a shield in front of him to resist the arrows, but the knight's big sword in his right hand swung out fiercely, and the sword qi opened the way.
"No one wants to come in. ”
"Kill!~"
"Death to the thief!"
Behind the big cave of the palace gate, three powerful royal guards joined forces to swing three fierce sword qi and pounced on the knight who jumped out of the big cave.
Puff puff!~
The blood mist sprayed into the air, and the knights who rushed into the palace gate almost one after another, and their men and horses were cut into several pieces.
One of the three royal guards who intercepted on the inside of the cave let out a scream, and was cut in two by the sword qi of the knight who rushed in before dying.
"Ahhh
The royal guard, who had only the upper body left, took advantage of the fact that he had not yet lost his breath, spurted blood from his mouth, and crawled to the entrance of the cave with a big sword in his hand, trying to fight to the death to earn one more.
The raised blade of the sword was like a trap, and then a knight and his horse rushed in desperately and were directly pierced through the body by sharp arrows from below, and the huge hooves of the horse, which had not yet landed, still kicked the head of the dying royal guard before dying, and red and white brains sprayed all over the ground.
Although he died a tragic death, the purpose of the royal guard was achieved.
"Falling Star Flame!"
The fluctuation of the fire element system in the palace instantly climbed to the extreme, and one after another fire spell bullets rose from the palace, falling like a meteor shower outside the palace gate, exploding a cloud of fire among the knights and thugs who were charging with all their might, swallowing up the figures of nearly 100 people on the spot.
"Rock Spike!"
The voice of another palace spellcaster sounded coldly, and sharp rock spikes suddenly sprang up from the big cave of the palace gate, blocking the entrance of the cave obliquely.
The knights, who were still relentlessly attacking, were caught off guard one after another, and even men and horses collided with them.
The two knights in the front were the most miserable, the people and horses were pierced by rock thorns on the spot, and the flesh and blood hung blurred on the group of rock thorns blocking the entrance of the cave.
"Retreat! Retreat! Caster Attack!"
The knights, who failed to grasp the moment, had to retreat, and once the large hole in the palace gate was blocked, the speed of the war horses was useless.
Leaving behind the corpses of a dozen knights and horses, the knights who were the first to charge had to give up their plans to raid and retreat back with the thugs.
At this time, the spellcasters who participated in the rebellion also arrived one after another, and fireballs, wind blades, and earth-based spells that had the most destructive power to the palace walls and gates were released one after another, and a vigorous spell battle was launched with the spellcasters guarding the palace.
Taking advantage of the fact that the west and south gates were blown open, not long after the two groups of knights of unknown origin rushed into the almost undefended imperial capital, a group of neatly groomed soldiers and knights appeared outside the city of Deland, stopping at a distance of two arrows and silently arraying.
A knight broke away from formation and rode slowly towards the city gate.
"Stop!
Outside the still intact East City Gate, the city gate officer on the city gate tower shouted nervously, and at the same time waved his hand to let the soldiers set up bed crossbows, and the sound of squeaking and winding came from the city wall,
Despite the bad news coming from the other two main gates, it doesn't mean that the other gates can leave their posts or abandon themselves.
As long as the royal family is around, there is nothing to worry about.
The knight who stepped forward did not say anything, and raised his bow and aimed it at the gate tower and shot an arrow.
"Don't move! don't move the bed crossbow and bow and arrow!"
After seeing the opponent's arrows on the bowstring, the city gate officer hurriedly reminded the soldiers who controlled the bed crossbow not to make any moves, and allowed the arrows shot by the opponent to cross a parabola and insert it into the city tower.
One of the nearest soldiers hurriedly pulled out the arrow and trotted it to the city gate officer.
It was a special letter arrow, with a hollow cylinder behind a conical arrow, and the city gate officials shuddered to open the cylinder and pull out several rolls of paper from it.
After glancing at it, his face changed slightly, and after carefully confirming it again, he finally let out a long breath and began to shout loudly: "Open the city gate!"
The signature and seal of Lord Adelaide, the Minister of Military Affairs, the signature and seal of His Majesty Cyril, Emperor of the Silan Empire, and a signature document of Luo Shang, the commander of the "Dragon's Tooth" Legion of the Imperial Capital Garrison.
The handwriting, seals, formatting, secret notes, and mental fluctuations attached to the three documents were unforgiving, indicating that the army that appeared outside the city was strictly approved and completely trustworthy.
The temporarily closed outer and inner city gates slowly opened, and the army, which had just stopped for a short time, moved again, still silently passing through the city gate and entering the imperial capital.
This scene did not only happen at the East City Gate, but also at the West City Gate and the North City Gate, where an army slowly drove into the city.
It was still calm outside the south gate, and not a single soldier was in sight, but thirty miles away from the city gate, several infantry phalanxes and two cavalry phalanxes stood solemnly.
With the waving flags, the "Dragon Claw" legion of the Silan Empire garrison was faintly brewing and ready to go.
Surrounding three and one, using an imperial capital as a battlefield, the prince and princess and other members of the royal family as bait, and planning their own plans in danger, the determination of His Majesty Cyril, the emperor of the Silan Empire, is unimaginable.
As the strange and vicious spell successfully hit Cyril's Majesty, the hole cards of both sides continued to be thrown at the big table of Deland City.
One after another hole cards continue to be revealed, each other to fight for the background, scheming and hard power, the winner after the most must be the most hole cards.
Whether it was His Majesty Cyril or the royal family and other insiders, innocent civilians were caught up in this turmoil and fell victim to the most tragic of all.
The casualties of civilians are only one of the tools in the hands of the conspirators, and they are not subject to the will of the royal family, and all the royal family can do is to win the ultimate victory in this big gamble, uproot the opponent, and completely wipe out the body and spirit without mercy-
