Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Imperial Capital City is Broken
Above the city, Prince Gallah clenched his fists.
Since the Emperor's assassination, he has done everything in his power to keep the Empire State Building from falling, but everything seems to be gradually spiraling out of control.
Although all the generals had been sent out, the magic light shield above their heads shook twice after that, and now there was only a thin layer left, as if a rain of fire could easily burn through.
"Grand Duke, order all the guards to prepare for battle, Alex and Bardos' army may attack the city overnight tonight. Prince Gallah took the initiative to say to the Grand Duke of Amaya beside him.
Grand Duke Amaya waved his hand to beckon the lieutenant, and suddenly there was a soft sound like a soap bubble bursting above his head, and the "Guardian of the God of Light" turned into countless streamers and dispersed.
Prince Gallah and Grand Duke Amaya were stunned at the same time.
After a long time, Prince Gallah sighed deeply, "It's still a step too late, let's give the order to prepare for battle." ”
With the order, the city guards at the north gate immediately moved.
Neat footsteps rang out, and a large group of city guards ran up the road to the city. Huge ballistas and trebuchets were pushed into the attack position by the combined force, and the machine expansion and crossbow strings were pulled apart with a creak.
Battles can start at any time.
As time passed, the riots in various parts of the city had gradually subsided, and the Praetorian Army was searching for the remnants of the fleeing sins, but the expected attack was delayed.
Looking out of the city, there were a series of bonfires lit in the army formation of the Northland Legion, but there was no sign of an attack.
Prince Gallaher was a little confused, "What the hell does Alex want to do after destroying Arantis's magical protection but not rushing to attack?"
In more than two hours, it was dawn, and Prince Gallah put his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, and he was faintly uneasy.
At this moment, a figure in the air flew towards the city in a panic.
"Prince, something is wrong!" a middle-aged general, covered in blood, stumbled and fell in front of Prince Gallaher.
Gallaher recognized this man as one of the deputy commanders of the Forbidden Army, Dico Rich, and reached out to hold him up, "What the hell is going on? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Dicko Richie clutched the wound on his chest that was still bleeding out, and said intermittently: "Your Highness has led troops from Nancheng to kill in! I led the army to quell the rebellion in Nancheng, and I happened to collide head-on with the army that came in, and I forced myself out to report the news!"
"Ah!" Prince Gallah was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Why hasn't there been any movement at the South City Gate so far, and how did they get in?"
"It was the defenders of the southern city who put in the army of His Highness, and I saw the uniforms of the city guards in the charging army. ”
"Spence bastard!
Spence was the deputy governor in charge of the guards of the southern city, and if he had already secretly fallen to His Royal Highness, it would naturally be logical to take the initiative to open the city gate to welcome Alex's army into the city.
"How many troops have followed Alex in, is it the Northland Army or the Bardos army, and where is the direction of the other party's main attack?" Prince Gallaher was shocked, but not panicked, and asked Dico Ritch three questions in a row.
"The streets are full of soldiers, I don't know how many troops the enemy has attacked? I encountered the Northland Legion, and the opponent's charge instantly overwhelmed the five hundred forbidden troops I led. Judging by the direction of their march, it should be Bendi Palace. ”
"Northland Legion, Northland Legion, Alex is not to be underestimated!" Prince Gallaher thought twice before he figured out the joint.
Although there are countless bonfires lit in the Northland Legion army formation outside the north gate, it is probably a suspicious formation set by Alex, and after dark, the most elite combat force of the general has been secretly transferred to the south gate. If it weren't for the strongest elite of the Northland Legion, it would not have been possible to completely submerge the forbidden army in one turn.
Prince Gallah looked at Grand Duke Amaya, "Grand Duke, now the life and death of the imperial capital are in the hands of you and me. ”
Amaya had already drawn out the big sword at his waist, "Please give the order, even if I, Amaya, die in battle tonight, I will definitely live up to the kindness of the previous emperor and the trust of handing over this imperial capital guard to me!"
Prince Gallah nodded heavily, "There are two most important things now, one is that the south gate of the imperial capital has been lost, and the army of Bardos will continue to attack the city; You and I split up, and I led the forbidden army to block the enemy forces that had entered the city. Please ask the Grand Duke to transfer the other three guards to recapture the south gate, as long as the south gate is recaptured, the enemy army that enters the city will be the turtle in the urn. ”
"The prince will wait for my news, the recapture of the south gate or the death of Amaya in battle, one of them will be reported to the prince before dawn. After the Grand Duke of Amaya finished speaking, he strode directly down the city to gather his troops.
Prince Gallaher looked at Dico Rich in front of him, "Can you still fight?"
"I want to follow the prince and fight again!"
"Okay, you can follow me to gather the forbidden troops from all over the city to rush to the imperial palace to destroy the rebels. ”
......
In the middle of the chamber, there was a rhythmic tapping sound overhead.
Van Lowe and Arthur, who had just fallen asleep, were all awakened by the sound of knocking.
Fan Luo knew that something big must have happened outside, otherwise he would never contact him by directly knocking on the secret door.
Fan Luo opened the secret passage door from the inside, and a thin old man in his fifties and sixties came in, "My lord, something big is happening outside!"
"Straight to the point. Van Lowe didn't shy away from Arthur and Joan.
The magic array above his head disappeared, and the army outside had come in, and the shouts of killing had already been heard. ”
Fan Luo's face changed, according to his previous prediction, Prince Gallaher and the Empress joined forces, and His Royal Highness never had the strength to break into Arantis, and now the situation is about to reverse.
Van Luo looked at Joan and Arthur, "The situation outside has changed, we can't continue to hide here, we have to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible." ”
"Where?" asked Joan.
"Go to the border of Isaac, His Majesty the King is waiting there, and I must deliver the Impression Scroll to His Majesty as soon as possible. His Highness is truly safe when he gets there. ”
Arthur and Joan looked at each other in unison, and neither of them said anything.
"How to get there?"
Fan Luo looked at the teleportation circle in the center of the secret room that was destroyed by his own hands and showed a wry smile, originally the teleportation circle leading to the outside of the city could be used after the "Light God Guardian" was broken, but now it was destroyed because of his own calculation mistake.
"We went out of the city through the teleportation circle, and the kingdom still has a secret stronghold in the southern city, but there are too many people there who know it, and we may have to take some risks. Van Luo was worried that Joan had concerns, so he immediately added, "Austin archmage, they will also move there." ”
Joan nodded, still saying nothing.
Master Qi Luo suddenly spoke: "It's good to hide here, I won't go, the world is so big, it doesn't make a difference to us dark mages where we hide." ”
"Good. Van Lowe had no objection and was the first to get out of the secret room.
"Boy, our Fisca family is related to you, although you don't want to join the family now, but you can take this thing, the dark mage in the world is a family, maybe you can use it one day." Chiro tossed a round black wooden plaque at Arthur.
Arthur put away the wooden card without looking at it, and then arched his hand at Qiluo, "Take care, but I hope you don't see you again!"
