198: A fine line

Most of Seleucus' main forces were killed in the Battle of Refractory, but this time Perdiccas selected elite warriors from the army to supplement the inner guard legion, making it even more effective than before.

When Seleucus and his assault team infiltrated a ruin near Apollo Square through the tunnels, the HRE generals were immersed in the celebration of victory, and the noise of wine fighting and boasting was audible even on the periphery. The ornate Commander's Tent towers high in the center of a tabernacle, and a golden double-headed eagle flag flutters in the wind at the top, making it even more awe-inspiring to the attacker's immediate location.

Although Marshal Wallenstein arranged a tight patrol, the soldiers were already tired after a long day of fighting, and the optimism that was spreading in the army believed that the enemy was about to collapse by this time, and that the resistance was still weak, let alone a surprise attack from the large battalion located behind the battle line. Therefore, the attitude of the patrol soldiers is quite relaxed, some of them are standing or sitting and chatting, some of them get good wine and drink freely from nowhere, and some even start to gamble.

Seleucus easily sneaked into the camp from the shadows with ten of his most elite warriors, and quickly reached the flanks and rear of the commander's tent. There were two Shinra guards stationed here, and they were also in a very relaxed mood, holding chicken legs in their hands, laughing and eating, completely oblivious to the approach of the enemy.

Seleucus and the others hid behind a dark corner, and after observing for a while, the commander of the internal guard confirmed that there was no secret post nearby, so he opened his mouth and secretly recited a spell, and the black cloth on his body slowly dispersed. The whole person began to sink and melt into the shadows on the ground. After a while, the Commander of the Inner Guard had disappeared to the ground and turned into a new shadow, which blended into the surroundings and was difficult to detect at first glance. Only a closer look can detect that it is slightly darker than its neighborhood.

The shadow slowly moved in the direction of the two guards, completely unnoticed. It wasn't until Seleucus had already reached their feet that one of the older and more experienced guards felt unusual, stretched out his finger and pointed to the underground and said, "Huh, look......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Seleucus sprang up from the ground behind him, stabbing them in the back with his twin blades! Before the two guards could react, they were stabbed through each other and fell without a snort. The Commander of the Internal Guard smiled slightly. Crouching down and taking a closer look at the scene through the gap under the tabernacle, he soon saw the location of Emperor Frederick II of the HRE in his ornate military attire. At that moment, he suddenly felt the sound of footsteps on the right side of the tabernacle.

The enemy is coming!!!!!! And lightning struck up from the ground.

At the same time, about 10 meters away, a guard carrying roast chickens came out of the tent, he was in the same squad as the two guards who had just been killed, but he was affected by the warm atmosphere of the banquet. The trio also wanted to take it easy. So he slipped out and tried to get another roast chicken. He was in a relaxed mood and humming a little song as he walked, but he didn't expect that just after he walked to the tent, he saw this thrilling scene in front of him! I saw that the two comrades-in-arms who had been talking and laughing with him not long ago had fallen to the ground covered in blood, and a strange man with a black cloth was standing beside them, holding a short sword with a dazzling cold light in each hand.

Seleucid saw that the sneak attack was inadvertently broken by the enemy. Anger immediately flew up and lunged at the other man! In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides had been crossed, and the sharp blade in his hand stabbed forward with a fierce momentum! Only then did the guard's shouting be halfway out, and Seleucid's sword had already pierced his heart deep under his left ribs, and the shouting stopped abruptly

Although Seleucus managed to take out three of his guards, the situation had become critical.

Half of the shouts of one of Zuihou's guards could be heard. His actions must have been discovered by the other party, and he must do it immediately before the enemy can react! So he quickly turned around and made a few gestures to his subordinates in the rear, and everyone immediately took out the magic scroll from their arms and prepared to set it on fire. At the same time, Seleucus let out a loud shout, and his whole body turned into a powerful black flash, and he broke into the tent with an astonishing momentum.

At this time, everyone in the tent was listening intently to Marshal Wallenstein's analysis of the situation, and when the screams outside came, Frederick and the others were taken aback, but they could not react immediately due to the influence of alcohol. However, the powerful black flash of Seleucid's incarnation had already stabbed in front of the emperor with incomparably terrifying magical power!

"Bastard!!" Fortunately, at this moment, Wallenstein, who had been awake, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and with a loud shout, gathered all his fighting energy and slashed at the black and black flash!

Although the marshal's blow was strong and heavy, after all, the gathering time was too short, and only a loud bang was heard, not only did he fail to stop Seleucus's thunderous blow, but was shocked by the powerful counter-impact force The sword flew out of his hand, and the whole person also fell back with a snort! Although Wallenstein's interception was not successful, it still made Seleucus's attack deviate slightly from the original track, and I saw that between the lightning and flint, the edge had pierced into Frederick III!

The magic armor worn by the emperor reacted immediately, and the Habsburg double-headed eagle spell engraved on his chest instantly burst into dazzling brilliance! This brilliance collided violently with the black flash, and suddenly there was a loud bang! A powerful magic power overflowed in all directions, and instantly swept through the entire tent! Everyone screamed and was blown up more than ten meters away, and the surroundings were in chaos.

Seleucus was also knocked away by the massive shockwave, but he immediately jumped up again and looked back. I saw that the gorgeous armor on the emperor's left shoulder was shattered into a large hole, and the flesh and blood inside were blurred, and the bones were visible, and black-red blood gushed out from the wound and spilled all over the ground! Frederick's expression was extremely painful, he was seriously injured, and the attack of the internal guard commander seemed to have an additional strong corrosive effect, and the black qi invaded the emperor's body and raged violently, further aggravating his injuries.

But apparently, Seleucus was disturbed at the last moment, and Frederick was not hit to the point!
