Chapter 509: Palace Square

Richard wanted to move his father's body out for burial, but seeing the increasingly chaotic situation outside, he had to give up on this practice.

"Let's go. Motriti said behind him.

Richard took one last look and finally walked out of the palace.

Where to go? The Imperial City has become like this, they can't stay here anymore, they have to leave as soon as possible and go somewhere else.

There were still soldiers rushing towards them with weapons in their arms, and the soldiers here were outnumbered and qualitatively superior to those on the outskirts of the palace and castle, and they were struggling.

There were also some people dressed differently, rushing into the crowd of soldiers, slashing and slashing vigorously, and it was impossible to tell who was cutting whom.

"Bloodbath in the palace!"

"Overthrow the Faint King!" they shouted hoarsely.

The two of them managed to get out of the chaos, and they were supposed to go downstream and leave the palace, but their way was completely blocked by another group of people who swarmed over, and they could only follow the current and be squeezed in the opposite direction.

After a while, the two were squeezed into the crowd again, and soon the distance was getting farther and farther apart.

In order not to let his feet be stepped on, or to be trampled under the feet of these hundreds of people, Richard had to follow them. Motrite quickly broke away from the crowd and stood at the front of the crowd, but since Richard was still inside, she couldn't leave first, so she had to follow.

By chance, Richard was squeezed by the crowd and his feet off the ground as if he had surfaced, and Richard was finally able to see the scene ahead.

Even though it was night and the surrounding area was dark, Richard could identify it by the surrounding buildings, "In this direction, it's the Palace Square......

Then he was squeezed down again.

The palace square was an interesting place where the king could use it for all sorts of things, such as animal taming shows, gladiatorial arenas, and beheading.

On this night, the palace square was also lively.

The first rebels had already arrived, some with torches and some with swords, and the royal soldiers laboriously cleared them of the ill-intentioned arrivals. Here, you have to be careful if you don't trip over a corpse at your feet, maybe it's still your own side. Some people are desperate, regardless of friend or foe, they just cut and kill indiscriminately, and many such people are often cut off by the people behind them, and the scene is very chaotic.

Compared to the outside, behind the guardrail of the palace square, a very deep corner, it is much quieter.

"You can't die ......"

A giant beast, with three pairs of horns on its head, two of them facing the sky and one facing forward, with two tusks in its mouth, which it could not tell what it looked like, lay quietly on the ground, without movement or sound.

A boy of seven or eight years old grabbed the beast's huge head, closed his eyes tightly, two bean-sized tears rolling down his cheeks, and he threw his head up to the sky.

"No ——!!!"

This cry had a terrifying penetrating power that reached the ears of everyone in the palace square, including the king who was standing on the fortress and looking down on the chaotic landscape, and the archmage of the court beside him.

The people in the scuffle trembled suddenly, and they felt that it was not the cry of a child, but the roar of a wild beast, and their blood and internal organs were shaking violently, and the weapons in their hands began to be unstable.

The king also felt that his head was a little dizzy, and hurriedly held on to the city wall in front of him to stabilize his fat body. The dizziness disappeared after a while after the echo of the boy's shouts died down.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" the Court Archmage asked respectfully.

The king waved his hand, then watched the scene below, "That stinky kid of Karok is going crazy again, don't pay attention to him." ”

"If only you could think so, the minister will always be there for you. ”

-

"Click!"

"Click!"

"Bang bang!"

The boy galloped out and opened the cage of all the beasts at the back of the palace square. As the teenager moved faster and faster, more and more beasts came out of the cage.

"Now, you're free!" shouted the boy, shaking the large set of keys in his hand.

Everywhere there was the roar of wild beasts, the palace zoo boiled, the sound of running hooves and the flapping of wings mingled, and the night began to burn.

The boy was now furious. The dead beast had a memorable time with him, though not very long. The root cause of the beast's death was the cruel king who whipped it with a scepter!

Young Carlock, his family suffered humiliation in this palace. His mother died when he was born, and his father, the king's horseshoe smith, was trampled to death by a herd of horses when he was five years old. He had no choice but to sell himself to work in the King's Palace Zoo.

The palace zoo, in the backyard of the palace square, where some animal trainers who had been there for a long time, saw that Karlock was just such a young child, and they all looked down on him.

Aside from the unfriendliness of people, Karloch played with the lions, orangutans, wild deer, and other rare and even legendary beasts of the court, as if he should have been born from the wombs of animals, and Karloch had no problem with them, and in this way, he grew up with these beasts.

When he was seven years old, an adventurer came to the king with a beast that no one had ever seen. When the beast was chained by the king's chain, it actually spoke: "O merciful king, I beg you to grant me freedom!"

It looked up at the king, its eyes filled with tears, but its mouth did not open, as if an invisible person was speaking to him.

Everyone present was shocked, this is a beast that can speak human words, then, it has a great chance, it is a divine beast!

The king laughed, and he rewarded the adventurer at once, and then ordered the beast to perform to cheer up.

The beast, however, remained motionless, and seemed unwilling to do as the king had said. No wonder it was just a beast, and if it were a human being, it would know in its heart what would happen to it if it disobeyed the king's wishes!

At that time, Karlock was also in the middle of the crowd, he was too short and too weak to squeeze in, and he could only see this scene through the tiny gap in the crowd. He couldn't help but clench his fists for this beast, and secretly cursed this stupid beast in his heart, since they are all in the palace, then accept your fate, all your resistance will be useless, and it is likely that you will be punished more severely! It is better to listen to the king obediently, and the performance will be performed, so that at least you can survive.

The beast, chained, was led to the empty palace square by a specialized animal trainer. The beast is resisting with all its strength, but where is it a match for the beast tamer, otherwise the man would not be the beast tamer.

As things went, the king struck the beast with his insane scepter and ordered it to be locked in a pen. The beast has become a flesh-open appearance, and the mere glance at it makes people feel nervous, but the only person who can approach the pen is Carlock, and those animal trainers will not sympathize with the life or death of a beast.

For the next few months, Karlock secretly brought food and medicine to the wounded beast every day, which sadly only slowed the beast's death.

The beast and Karloch began to communicate, wordlessly, and their bond deepened over time, until Carlock discovered that he was able to communicate with all the animals in the palace zoo.

It was a wonderful feeling, and each animal had its own language, not the simple howl he had heard before. Karlock also gradually realized that this beast might really have some special ability, it was very different, and over time, Karok's relationship with this beast became deeper and deeper, like his closest brother.

However, it was clear to Karok that the beast had been badly wounded by the king and could not get any better. On the last night of the beast's departure, today, it said to Karloch, "Son, you have the ability to lead all the beasts, so take the rest of the people in this place and escape from the palace and let them return to nature......

After that, the beast finally took its last breath.

In addition to feeling injustice and anger at the death of this beast, Karlock added a heavy sense of mission to his heart. This pair of thin shoulders will carry incredible weight.

"Kill!!" shouted Karlock, riding on a horse, as the crowd of beasts galloped out of his way.

The boy didn't have any weapons in his hand, and if he had to talk about weapons, he might only have the bunch of keys he had stolen in his hand, and the keychain contained dozens of keys made of iron, and the weight was extremely heavy, and it was hard to smash into the unprotected people, and its power should not be underestimated.

However, he was not alone in the fight. He was joined by countless fierce lions, tigers, cheetahs, and all sorts of forest overlords who could tear a person's body to shreds with their teeth. After many years of domestication, when they learned from the mouth of the young Karlock that they were free, the wild nature that had been sleeping for a long time awakened again.

Another faction has been added to the palace square!

If Karlock and the beasts wanted to get from the palace square to the periphery, they had to break through the crowd, but there were royal guards and rebels in this group, and when they saw the beast suddenly running out, their first reaction was to start fighting against it, and saving their lives was the first priority.

The king and the archmage of the court standing behind the high city walls naturally saw this scene as well, and they all realized that something bad was coming.

"This Karloch ......!" the king spat hatefully.

Without words, the archmage of the court had already flown down, searching for Karlock's figure in the chaos.
