Jie Da hurriedly walked to the window and looked in the direction of the side hall. Sure enough, she found that there were only a few people around the front palace where people usually come and go. Looking at other places, the number of soldiers standing guard was obviously several times more than usual, but he He knew very well that he had not given such an order at all. He was just telling the guards responsible for guarding the king's palace not to let anyone in at will. Unfortunately, this order seems to have no effect.
Minte approached the ministers and was about to ask about the whole story, but unexpectedly he smelled a faint fragrance on the bodies of these old people.
It was a drugged smell. If you smell it for a long time, it will make people completely lose consciousness. Why do these ministers smell like this
Minte narrowed his eyes, as if something was happening that he didn't know about.
When a minister saw Minte, he pointed at his nose and scolded: "You foreign spy! Helping some people to deceive His Majesty and harm His Majesty's body! We will never let you go!" Then he shouted to the guards, claiming to Take him down.
Minte sneered: "Before you curse, explain the matter clearly! Since you heard it, who did you hear it from? Where is that person? Could it be that His Majesty the King's health in the past few days was caused by us? And he only needs to sleep for half a day, and you are making a fuss here?! If you insist that the king has encountered something unexpected, why don't you call a doctor to check it out? To see if the king is seriously ill and in a coma? Wait two or three more Hours, let’s see if he wakes up?!”
The minister hesitated, but the other man cursed again: "Who knows what you did to His Majesty?! How many more hours do you have to wait? I'm afraid the king will be replaced in a few hours?!" He glanced coldly Jada glanced at him: "Everyone knows what the Duke's intentions are when he stays with the king all day long!"
When the previous minister heard this, he put aside his hesitation and said angrily to Jida: "Please immediately order the palace door to be opened and let the ministers from outside come in! It's not too late to repent now. You are the grandson of the late king. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will deal with you as appropriate!"
Jada whispered something to a guard. He turned around and said coldly: "I really don't know when I was so capable that I could command the captain of the guard in the Queen Mother's palace. You probably don't know, right? Sargent, the captain of the palace guard, was ordered by the king to follow Mario The prince went to inspect the military camp, and the deputy captain disappeared two hours ago. The person commanding the guard now is the captain of the guard in the Queen Mother's Palace. What a coincidence, I heard that Prince Lawler is in the Queen Mother's Palace now! "
The ministers were shocked. They looked at each other in disbelief. They were both veterans of several decades, so naturally they were not stupid. They quickly realized something was wrong. One of them lowered his voice and asked: "If...you really have nothing to do with this matter, why did those soldiers say it was you..."
Before he finished speaking, there was another commotion outside the door, followed by several screams. The ministers' faces changed: "It's the servants from the front palace!" The guards who were originally guarding the door saw the intruder coming with force and had no choice but to shout. Retreat into the palace gate. Then someone outside shouted loudly: "Someone intends to murder the king and usurp the throne. We are ordered by Duke Jedda to eradicate all rebels. People inside listen to me and surrender obediently, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
The ministers glared at Jada. But the latter rushed to the palace gate angrily and shouted: "I am Duke Jedda. I did not give such an order. All soldiers return to their posts immediately. Don't be used by people with ulterior motives!"
He finished speaking. It was quiet outside. But soon. The person who spoke loudly before spoke again: "Everyone, listen. The person inside is not Duke Jedda. There is someone pretending to be trying to escape! Don't fall into their trap!"
Jada slammed the door open and walked out. Don't wait for him to speak. A cold arrow shot towards him. He didn't take precautions for a moment. I almost got hit by that arrow. He hurriedly avoided it. Just about to speak. But I heard the man shout again: "They want to escape. Release the arrow quickly. Kill the rebels. Rescue His Majesty the King!"
Jada was shaking with rage. I can't wait to kill that damn guy right away. Minte pulled the door back violently. The guards on both sides quickly closed the palace doors. Locked tight. Minte gave instructions to the other guards: "Guard the windows and other passages. Don't let them find a chance to come in!" He turned around and grabbed Jada hard and said: "Are you mad?! Rush out at this time. . He will only be killed. Then he will be accused of rebellion. Isn’t it just what the real mastermind behind the scenes wants? Jada took a few deep breaths. Gradually she calmed down and her phone relaxed: .Cｎ. But her expression was different. A trace of ferocity: "You are right... I have been so naive these past few years. Underestimating them. How can they care about family ties? If they weren't ruthless enough. My father. And Fiedler...how did he die? ! "
He waved away Minte's hand: "I know what to do!" He strode towards a window. Observing the situation outside the window. Calmly command the guards to defend and counterattack. Occasionally calling the names of people he knew among the group of soldiers outside. Attacked, divided, alienated...someone among the soldiers kept recognizing Jada. But the questioning voice was masked by the surrounding echoes. However. Many people found that something was wrong. I couldn't help but want to quit. The voice became shriller and hoarse. Almost hysterical. However, the offensive against the palace gate gradually weakened.
Minte turned around to see the ministers. Their faces were green and white. I knew in my heart that I had been deceived. But there is still some doubt. Is Jada really innocent? One of them turned to look at the door to the king's room. The more I think about it, the more it feels wrong. There was so much commotion outside. The king actually didn't react at all. Is it really okay? He looked at Minte. The suspicion is getting heavier and heavier.
Minte ignored them and went into the room to check on Gale II. Then he went to the next door and called out the old doctor who was already trembling with fear: "Please come to His Majesty and take care of him. I'm afraid I'm going to join the war."
The old doctor swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "We must win..." Then he walked cautiously to Gale II's room, but was grabbed by a minister in the middle: "You know the truth! Your Majesty What exactly is going on?!"
The old doctor said with a sad face: "I just took the medicine and fell asleep. When the medicine wears off, I will wake up. It's really okay, Your Majesty is just sleeping..."
He has served in the court for decades, and has been ordered by two generations of kings to treat the weak and sick ministers many times. Therefore, several old ministers know that since he said so, the truth should not be wrong. Looking at Jida There was a hint of shame in his eyes.
However, Jada has no time to pay attention to them now, and the situation in front of the palace gate has changed. The half-hearted soldiers were pushed aside, and forty or fifty men in heavy armor appeared in the open space behind the front palace. These people were covered in iron helmets from head to toe and were almost invulnerable. They moved forward step by step. Armored soldiers have heavy armor and are difficult to move through. Even the flat roads were trampled into deep pits by them. Several soldiers who could not get away in time were swung away by them and fell to the flower bed next to them, where they died immediately. The soldiers were in an uproar, looking at the commander with resentment in their eyes, and a few cleverly sneaked away from behind.
Jada saw fire in her eyes and turned around to ask how many arrows there were. It turned out that there were not many left. Even the furniture in other rooms and the vases and pots used for decoration on the corridor had become weapons. But when these things hit the iron helmet, they only slightly hindered their forward speed.
Minte pushed aside the two guards and squeezed to the window. He stretched out his hand and fired ice bullets at the leading armored soldiers. Although there was no damage to the iron helmet, it made the joints rotate more slowly. The armored soldiers violently waved their arms to shake off the frost and continued. go ahead. Minte changed the target of his attack and fired ice bombs at their footsteps. As a result, two people fell down and the team was temporarily confused. But it quickly returned to normal.
Isn't ice useful? Then try it with fire!
Minte turned around and grabbed a chair that had been dismantled in pieces, cut it into several thin sticks with an ice sword, tore off the curtain cloth and tied one end tightly, broke the extinguished oil lamp, and poured lamp oil on it. Jada woke up after seeing this and ordered other guards to follow this approach. Soon, thirty or forty torches were lit and used as rockets to shoot at the armored soldiers with bows.
At this time, the armored soldiers had arrived only about ten meters away from the palace gate. Seeing the fire, he didn't take it seriously at first and just raised his hand and waved it away. However, Minte specially used magic at this time to make the cloth strips poured with lamp oil just "fall" on the armored soldiers and pass through the gaps in the armor. , went straight inside, and within a few seconds, smoke started to rise from the armored soldiers. It soon became a flame. There was a sizzling sound, and the smell of roasted flesh spread along the mountain breeze. The soldiers around him couldn't help but cover their noses.
But the strange thing is that the armored soldiers seemed not to notice at all. They had already arrived in front of the palace door and banged on the door panel vigorously. Some armored soldiers came directly to the window and smashed the glass with one punch, killing those who were guarding the window before they had time to escape. The guard grabbed it out and threw it behind him. Jada directed the guards to slash at each other with their machetes, barely cutting them back a few steps, but soon attacked again. The guards in the palace were beginning to run out of strength. Jada was so anxious that she gritted her teeth and rushed forward with a steel knife in hand. She chopped off the right arm of an armored soldier with one knife. Unexpectedly, the armored soldier shook and continued to attack with his left hand.
Minte fired a dozen ice arrows at the heads of several armored soldiers who were trying to climb in through the window, causing them to keep retreating and leaning back, as if they were about to fall out. He had an idea and shouted to the guards next to him: "Use your knife to hook their legs!" The guards slapped them knowingly with their long knives, and the armored soldiers fell upside down and fell on top of their companions who were trying to squeeze in from behind. , Minte took the opportunity to shoot another torch, and nearly ten armored soldiers were quickly burned into a ball.
He was feeling happy when a hand with a helmet suddenly came out from the side. He lowered his head and narrowly avoided it, breaking into a cold sweat. He quickly stabbed the opponent's neck in the gap between the helmet and the armor. He clearly felt that he had stabbed him. The opponent's vital points and even the throat were clearly visible, but the man's body was still rushing forward. Minte couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. He thought of the zombies he had seen in the kidnapper's camp. He suddenly drew back his ice sword, but it got stuck. He had to abandon the sword and use another one to cut off the opponent's legs. , seeing that the other party could only struggle on the ground, but still waving his hands and feet, and the sand and stones swept up injured the fighting guard on the side. Minte only waited for another torch, and then the other party gradually burned away and stopped moving. .
There was a scream from the direction of the corridor, and then the sound of glass breaking. Minte secretly screamed, knowing that the armored soldiers had broken through other windows. He wanted to go to support, but was entangled by two armored soldiers who rushed in. Upon seeing this, Jada cut off his opponent with a knife, ordered several nearby guards to support, and then pounced on the enemy who stood up again.
More than half of the forty or fifty besieging armored soldiers had been eliminated at this time, but the guards inside the palace also suffered heavy casualties. Even the male and female attendants who were hiding aside and trembling were forced by Jedda to come out to participate in the battle. Under his guidance, they knocked down tall shelves and bookcases, used them to crush the bulky bodies of the armored soldiers, and used large curtains and draperies to block the opponent's sight and block the opponent's progress. Some people boldly climbed onto the enemy He hit the opponent on the head with a heavy object on his back, but was quickly knocked to the ground. People kept falling in a pool of blood on the corridor, but the number of enemies decreased again.
There was a "bang", and there was a sound of glass breaking in the king's bedroom. Jada was frightened and ran over. The armored soldier behind him wanted to catch up, but Minte came across with a sword and cut his neck.
After the armored soldier fell down, he didn't stand up again. Minte felt it was a little weird, and before he had time to think about it, he stabbed another armored soldier, who was also knocked down with one blow. He looked thoughtfully at the ice sword in his hand. Just now... it seemed that killing the opponent... had become easier...
Amidst the noise, he suddenly heard someone praying. When he looked back, he saw several veterans leaning against the wall, barely supporting each other. Next to them, a middle-aged woman dressed simply and solemnly was praying with her eyes closed, mumbling something. A string of small pearl necklaces was tightly wrapped around her hand, with a silver eight-pointed star pendant hanging from it.
Minte recognized that this was Mrs. Cole, the court lady, and wasn't what she was reading the prayer for God's protection in the Illuminati Cult
Minte's heart lit up, he seemed to have found a way to deal with these undead armored soldiers!
"Madam, lend me your necklace!" Without saying a word, he half-rushed to take the necklace over. "You continue to recite the prayer, the kind that exorcises evil spirits!" Mrs. Cole stared blankly. Following the movements of this little robber, he had no time to react, and could only mechanically recite one of the most commonly used exorcism prayers in the Light Religion.
Minter wrapped the necklace around his right hand, recalling in his mind the prayer he heard Father Riddle use that day, and recited it slowly.
He still remembered that when the old magician Sennet did a magic test on him, he mentioned that his magic power had some light properties. In the past few years, under Marshall's supervision, he also prayed frequently.
The chants in the air reverberated in the room, magic gradually filled Minte's body, and a faint white light lit up on the ice sword. Minte held the sword tightly and stabbed into the body of an armored soldier who wanted to attack three guards. The opponent suddenly softened like a sand tower encountering sea water, fell to the ground with a clang, and stopped moving.
Minte was overjoyed and used the same method to eliminate several other armored soldiers. Under Mrs. Cole's prayers, other soldiers also eliminated the remaining enemies.
The terrible armored regiment was finally wiped out. Minte looked out the window, and the commander yelled again. What did he want to do
"Bang!" The door to the king's bedroom was suddenly opened, and Jada walked out with blood on her face. He was breathing heavily, the expression on his face looked angry and ferocious, and the long knife in his hand was dripping with blood.
Min Te hurriedly asked: "Are you injured?! How is His Majesty?!"
