Chapter 268: The Day of the Festival (5)
As a precious position-type transcendent prop to prevent accidents, the defense of the Dawn Enchantment is naturally very good, especially in the state of isolation, even if it is a Radiant Moon Knight, it is impossible to defeat the enchantment for a moment or three, and it is even more impossible for the guards outside to do it.
The switch to the barrier is in Miselle's hands, and unless he closes the Pillar of Dawn, the central square is effectively a sealed place.
In this case, the army is no longer useful, and the only key factor that will determine the outcome of this battle is the extraordinary power that is now in the hands of everyone in the square.
A sinister and solemn atmosphere permeated the high platform and even enveloped the entire square.
Whether it was the court personnel below or the nobles who stayed on both sides of the high platform, they all looked helpless, staring blankly at the situation in front of them, while some of the more clever people quietly retreated to the corner of the square, lest they be implicated in the next battle.
Ai Lei sighed lightly, glanced at Lin Zhenyi and the others beside her, and slowly retreated with a group of guards.
Among the three factions, she has the weakest power under her control, after all, the time to rise is too short, and the power is not as strong as the two brothers after all, so although she realized early on that something is likely to happen during the festival, there is not much she can do.
As for Elle's actions, Miselle and Hodder also looked at each other as if they didn't see it.
In their eyes, only each other is the biggest opponent.
In the blink of an eye, only the two princes' men and horses were left on the high platform, staring at each other.
The unbearable silence lasted for a long time, and finally it was Hodder who snorted coldly, broke the silence first, and whispered to the serious-looking old man beside him, "Teacher Preta, I'm sorry for you." ”
The old man named Preetta bowed slightly, and immediately stepped out of the crowd, his eyes wandered around the crowd opposite, and finally landed on a middle-aged man with a solemn expression beside Miselle, whose face was as clear as carved marble, and who was about forty or fifty years old, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, revealing an indifferent smile.
"I've long heard that Viscount Birkin, who is in charge of the secret police department, is very strong, and today I just want to learn about it. ”
As he spoke, a terrifying and powerful momentum suddenly erupted from Preta's body, sweeping towards Miselle's side like a torrent, and the strength of the aura had reached the level of level 25.
The unremarkable old man in front of him turned out to be a peak Morning Star Knight.
Feeling the terrible sense of oppression coming towards him, many people on the second prince's side changed color one after another.
However, in the next moment, a momentum that was no less powerful erupted, sweeping away the oppressive feeling brought by Preta.
Birkin slowly paced out of the crowd and looked at Preetta with an expressionless face: "I also want to see how much ability His Highness Hodde's martial arts master has, Your Highness?"
The last question was addressed to Miselle, who did not speak, but smiled and nodded.
Then, with a soft expression, Miselle looked at a person beside him whose figure was completely shrouded in gray robes and could not even see his face clearly, and whispered a few words, followed by the gray-robed man bowing his head slightly, reaching out to lift the brim of his hat, revealing an old face with a gray beard, a thin face, and an unusually sharp eyes.
The moment he saw his face clearly, the people on Hodder's side changed color one after another, and an irrepressible exclamation sounded in the crowd, and even Hodder's pupils shrank suddenly, revealing a look of disbelief in shock, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Brockle!"
Facing Hodder's angry gaze, which was about to erupt into flames, Brocker's face was unusually calm.
"I see, you have taken refuge in His Highness Misell. Duke Morris was the calmest in the crowd, he only frowned slightly, "No wonder the Pillar of Dawn will be turned on in advance, and the switch is still in the hands of His Highness Miselle, so the assassin who sniped me half an hour ago was also sent by His Highness Miselle." ”
"What?" said Hodder, who was taken aback.
Duke Maurice explained: "Your Highness, it happened suddenly, and before I could report it to you, on the way to the central square, I was sniped by a peak Morning Star Knight, and after the other party forced out Varga's soul burning secret technique, I left directly. ”
At the end, Duke Morris's face couldn't help but flash a gloom.
Secret techniques like Soul Burning that can make the strength skyrocket in a short period of time have very serious side effects without exception, ranging from a temporary decline in strength to serious injuries or even death, although the side effects of Soul Burning are not as serious as the latter, but they also make Varga's strength decline by more than half, and he can't recover at all in a few days.
When he saw Brocker, Duke Maurice guessed that the assassin must have been sent by Missel, and there was an explanation why the royal legions stationed in the noble district had not sent reinforcements for a long time.
"Yes, that man was indeed sent by me. Miselle admitted calmly, and looked at Varga, who was pale and angry, with a smile in his eyes, "The famous Burning Steel Sword Varga, of course I don't dare to forget, not to mention that you have always been by Duke Morris's side, it is rumored that you once fought with the Radiant Moon Knight with the Soul Burning Secret Technique without falling behind, or if we don't eliminate your high-end combat power first, the situation will be very unfavorable for us." ”
These words made Hodder's face more and more gloomy, and before the battle began, his side had lost the two hole cards of the Guards and Varga one after another, and I have to say that Miselle's two blows really hit him in the sore spot.
"Marquis Brockle, what did His Highness Miselle promise you to abandon your neutrality and join him?" Duke Maurice asked suddenly, his heart genuinely puzzled.
In recent years, in the open and secret struggle for the throne, Brocker has remained neutral, free, and has no intention of interfering, and with Brocker's power and strength, no one can force him to stand on the throne, Duke Maurice really can't understand why Brocker suddenly changed his mind and took refuge in Miselle, what temptation did the latter give him that was difficult to refuse?
In the face of Duke Maurice's questioning, Brocker still didn't say a word, but stood in front of the crowd with a cold face, slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and replaced the answer with action.
On the contrary, Missel smiled faintly and said: "Since it is directly under the emperor, the guards who only obey the orders of the emperor can be co-opted and rebelled, and the Marquis of Brocker is willing to assist me, what is there to be surprised, are you right, General Enz Wenger?"
Miselle's voice fell, and in the crowd on Hodder's side, a tall middle-aged man said with a whole face: "Your Highness Miselle, the Guards are indeed directly under the orders of the supreme ruler of the empire, and His Royal Highness Hod is the regent and the first heir to the throne of the empire, and at the moment when His Majesty is ill and unable to handle government affairs, he is the nominal supreme ruler of the empire, in this case, what is wrong with the guards obeying the orders of His Royal Highness Hodder?"
In the face of Entz's quibble, Miser just chuckled and shook his head, saying no more.
On the contrary, Enz stepped forward, his eyes shot straight at Brocker like a sword, and a slightly cold smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Actually, I have long wanted to learn the martial arts of Marquis Brocker, but I didn't expect to have this opportunity today, it seems that I am still lucky." ”
The Twelve Knights of the Empire are known throughout the southern part of the continent, and among them, Chief Brocker is the most famous, almost overshadowing the light of the other eleven, including Enz as the second seat.
However, where is the strength of the Brokel Moon Knight, no one has raised any objections, but as he gets older, even the Radiant Moon Knight can't withstand the invasion of the years, and in recent years, Brocker's energy and strength have been much worse than before, and after noticing this, Enz gradually started to think.
An aging Knight with a much lower strength is undoubtedly the best stepping stone for him to gain greater prestige and a higher position of power, and this battle may also be a catalyst for him to break through the level 25 realm that he has stayed in for many years and step into a higher level of power.
Thinking of this, Entz's heart was on fire.
As if sensing Enz's strong fighting intent, Brocker's rock-like face finally moved slightly, his eyes looked at Enz calmly, and said lightly: "If your mind can be purer and not too involved in external objects, maybe it won't take ten years to go further." ”
Enz was slightly stunned, and then smiled undeniably: "This is not like what you can say as the head of the Royal Legion and the Marquis of the Empire. ”
However, Brocker didn't seem to want to say much, and his figure shook slightly, slowly rising into the air.
Seeing this, Enz also followed and rushed into the sky, and the two of them reached the top of the barrier above the square almost at the same time, and then made a brazen attack without saying a word.
Viscount Birkin and Preetta glanced at each other, and the two of them also rushed into the air at the same time, fighting fiercely.
The weakest of the four was all the peak Morning Star Knight, how powerful it was, but in the blink of an eye, the terrifying energy and energy aftermath of the confrontation filled every inch of space in the sky, and the powerful roar that was like thunder came and went.
At the same time, without the orders of Miselle and Hodder, the eyes of the guards around the two of them were cold at the same time, and they all flashed out, fighting together in an instant.
At this special moment, the people who can stay by the two of them will naturally not be weak, there are almost no people below the golden level, and in an instant, there is already a shout of killing on the high platform, and the strength is invading everywhere, and the chill is great.
The bloody killing aura spread out in all directions, waking up the people who were still stunned around the high platform, and fled towards the corner of the square with a scream of fear on their faces. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
