Chapter 5: The Struggle for Thrones
By the time Dick finally broke the curse and ran out of the cave, the Crusaders had already retreated.
"Ahh The rolling sound was deafening like thunder in the sky, and the distant woods were also shaken.
"Light, Ming, Sect, Court!" Dick's words were squeezed out of his teeth word by word, "I, Dick, swear here, the gods bear witness!
"Never die!"
"Never die!"
"Never die!"
......
The reckless mountains reverberated with rumbling echoes. Dick fell to his knees weakly, covering his face with his hands, tears streaming down his fingers, "Demihera, you shouldn't be ...... like this"
Dick really wanted to kill the Holy See of Light at this moment and rescue Dimihera. However, his overly sober reason reminded him all the time that going to the Holy See now was no different from sending him to death, that in doing so would he have failed Dimichra's painstaking efforts, and that he would have no hope of revenge in the future.
Burying his hatred in his heart, Dick began to think about the situation in front of him, and now the most important thing was to return to the Miro Empire first.
After three days of pursuit by the Crusaders, there are only more than 1,000 people left, and almost all of the remaining are wounded.
They stayed overnight, and in order to avoid the pursuing armies of the Faun Empire, they had to advance cautiously on mountain paths, or in deserted places.
After three days like this, Dick's injuries from the heavy injuries suffered by Grecia finally improved, and according to Dimihera, Dick was unable to use his magic and fighting spirit for half a month. But Dimihera secretly gave Dick a lot of energy in the kiss before parting, which was the magic and fighting spirit that she had sent to her in the past. Therefore, it is very easy to absorb.
It was because of this energy that Dick's injuries were able to heal faster. At the same time, this energy was completely absorbed by Dick, and in one fell swoop, he reached the level of a ninth-level archmage and dragon knight, only one step away from the holy realm. In normal times, Dick would have been overjoyed, but at the thought of Dimihera, Dick's heart could not be happy.
When Dick's injuries healed enough to unleash large amounts of magic, he immediately cast a "mass teleportation" to teleport everyone back to Miro's capital of Mirrok.
Dick's chosen teleportation location was near the north gate of Millrock City, and more than a thousand people stepped out of the light as the silver waves flickered.
"Who!" Immediately a loud shout came from behind him, and Dick looked back. Hundreds of guards guarding the city pointed their spears at them, and the shout was from the leader of the guards. Dick secretly wondered, when did the guards at the gate of the imperial capital become so large, there were actually hundreds of people!
Gold stepped forward and said sharply: "Bold, the person you pointed at with a knife and gun is the Duke of Dick of the Empire, don't hurry up and salute!"
"Duke Dick?" muttered the leader of the guards, but he did not lay down his arms.
Dick already felt wrong at this time, not only the city gate, but also the street was three steps and one post. Five steps and one sentry, the citizens all hid in their homes as if they were afraid of something, and there was not a single pedestrian in the streets, only a group of soldiers roaming.
Dick's brain center telekinesis. In the blink of an eye, I had roughly guessed what was happening. He shouted, "Gold, catch him!" and pointed his finger at the leader of the guards.
Gold, who was now a fourth-level knight cultivator, was like lightning, and a flash had already reached the head of the guards. With one hand, the sword in the hand of the leader of the guards was already flying. Then he was caught in front of Dick like a chick.
It all happened so fast. Before the hundreds of guards at the gates could see what was happening, the leader of the guards had already been captured. At this moment, I saw that Gold suddenly attacked. Hundreds of guards rushed forward, and pointed their spears at Gold: "Bold, do you want to rebel?"
Dick ignored it, and went straight to the leader of the guards and asked, "Say, what is going on?
The leader of the guards said: "I am a person from His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, if you dare to hurt me, Your Highness will definitely ......."
"Gold, let him tell the truth. Dick commanded lightly.
Mirรณ Palace, the residence of King Edward VII.
Nearly 1,000 guards were on three floors, and the outer three layers were surrounded by the door, and in the dormitory, Edward VII was as pale as paper, lying on his back on the couch. His eyes were deep-set, his lips were pale, and he looked like an old man in the twilight of his life.
The fourth prince, Long'er, sat on the edge of the bed, he sighed, and said, "Father, what are you waiting for......? I mean, if you return to the arms of God, the Miro Empire will always need an heir. โ
Edward VII's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he did not speak.
Long Er said again: "Father, the eldest brother is so unfilial, even if you are so seriously injured and dying, he will not come to visit you, what qualifications does he have to inherit the throne?"
Edward VII finally spoke: "It's not that he doesn't want to come, it's that he can't come because he is trapped by you." โ
"Father, how can you think so!" Long'er stood up and said solemnly, "I just sent a few guards to invite him over. But even then, he won't come to see you. โ
"Humph!" Edward VII made a sound from his nose and stopped talking.
Long'er's eyes flashed, and finally he said respectfully: "It's okay, Father, there is time, you can think about it slowly." โ
At this moment, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing outside, and Long Er was shocked, and hurriedly walked to the door and looked out. I saw that at the distant palace gate, there were nearly a thousand soldiers guarding the two figures in the center and killing all the way. Long's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the two figures at a glance as the Grand Prince Yorkson and the Prime Minister Macaulon.
"Big brother, big brother, you're hiding so hard from me!" Long Er muttered, "You are only running a shili between civilian officials on the surface, but in fact, you haven't put your tentacles into the army?"
The once majestic palace is now a bloody battlefield, guarded by soldiers from the Longer side along every road, every corner, and every gate.
The soldiers belonging to the Yorkson side held swords and shields to protect Yorkson and Macaurun in the center, wielding long knives and sharp swords, and marched through the flesh and blood, step by step towards the emperor's bedchamber.
The soldiers fought between the narrow corridors, blood flying, stumps fluttering, and the people their long swords slashed at might be their former comrades. Yorkson's army walked all the way, and it was blood and death along the way.
A dense burst of bows and arrows flew in, and the soldiers immediately erected their shields on the heads of Yorkson and Macauran, but many of the soldiers who did not have time to raise their shields lost their lives.
Step by step, blood-colored footprints, Yorkson struggled to get closer to the dormitory.
"Your Highness, the offensive is too fierce. What should we do?" A soldier with a bloody face rushed to Long'er, panicking.
"Attack with all your might, leave no one alive!" Long'er's voice was cold, as if it came from a glacier in the far north.
"However, it is the Great Prince's Palace...... "The soldier wanted to say something.
"Didn't you hear me, don't leave a mouth alive!" roared in exasperation. The soldier was so frightened that he hurried down to give the order.
The battle became even more fierce, and the soldiers on the Longer side began to fight hard without scruples, and the soldiers began to use large crossbow arrows, magic crystal cannons and other large attack weapons that were originally used to defend the palace. The scales of battle are tilting in favor of the Longer.
At the north gate of Millrock, Dick tossed him aside after listening to the head of the guard.
Dick drew his sword and shouted, and the Nether Demon Sword pointed straight at the sky: "All the demon hunter guards obey the order, follow me forward, and if there is any obstacle along the way, kill them!"
"Yes, I will obey your orders!" more than a thousand demon hunters replied in unison. Sonic boom in the wild.
Dick led the demon hunter guards to the mansion of the little prince Mitte, and there were soldiers patrolling all over the way, and when he saw Dick, he couldn't help but come up and ask for his identity.
Because these soldiers were all subordinate to the Longer side, they all chose to let Dick go after hearing about his identity, after all, in name, Dick still belonged to the military general faction on the Longer side. (To be continued......)
