"General Orlando, that one just now..." A confused Holy Knight whispered in Orlando's ear, and everyone else also raised their ears, hoping to hear Orlando's answer clearly. This man wearing black runes The armored warrior is really too mysterious. It is impossible to say that I am not curious about him.
But Orlando did not answer this question. He stood alone, lost in thought. Under the dim torchlight, his figure dragged very long on the street, like a stone statue half a year old.
Since those mysterious warriors wearing black rune armor quickly disappeared, the riots in the Imperial Capital on this New Year's Eve quickly calmed down. Seeing the blood and corpses all over the streets, countless citizens of the Imperial Capital cried. Looking for his missing relatives, a thought emerged in his mind uncontrollably, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it: "What have we done wrong to deserve such punishment again?"
"When bad luck comes, it will come one after another." This ancient proverb seemed to come true at this moment. Just as everyone was licking their wounds, a voice familiar to everyone in the Imperial Capital spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital.
"People, I am your Queen Catherine. I regret to announce that I am about to leave this beautiful city. Not long ago, a group of people who were obsessed with power launched a coup. They wanted to subvert this country. They To ruin the beautiful days we have now."
Catherine used a loudspeaker magic circle to deliver a speech to the entire imperial capital. Her inciting words coupled with the powerful appeal of her natural charm made this non-existent thing appear as if she was actually there.
"Although the incident happened suddenly and there were only a few guards around me, those brave soldiers fought without fear. They thwarted the enemy's plot several times. I thought I could hold on until more brave men arrived. But these guys who only had power in their eyes started killing civilians."
"People, I'm sorry. It was me who brought death to you and your relatives. It was me who destroyed your happy family. So I can only compromise. I decided to leave this city and live in exile forever. I hope this can make them Put down the butcher knife, I'm sorry, my people, the evil orcs couldn't let me leave this city for half a step, but... I'm sorry, although I can only live in exile forever, but my heart will always be with you. "
Catherine's speech made everyone dumbfounded. Could it be that those incarnations of death just now were sent by some coup guys? God of light, what happened tonight? What happened in the end? Is it really like Catherine? As the Queen said,
"Who is it? Who is it?" A man whose wife died in the riot just shouted to the sky crazily: "If you give my wife her life, I will fight with you."
After the man yelled this at the top of his lungs, he picked up a long sword from the hand of a dead imperial soldier and rushed forward aimlessly. He had no idea what happened tonight. He didn't know who was leading all this, nor where everything happened. He only knew that he and his beautiful and lovely wife were separated forever, and what caused all this was something Queen Catherine said. Ambitious bastard,
"Revenge, revenge, we will fight them." The inciting voice rang out from the crowd, but these people purposefully disrupted the whole situation. Because the first crazy man became an example for everyone to learn from, and in addition Instigated by people with ulterior motives, many citizens of the Imperial City who lost their loved ones in tonight's riot lost their minds. They aimlessly picked up weapons on the ground and followed the first man blindly.
Soon, a stream of people formed like this. They walked aimlessly on the street, and soon more and more people gathered. At first, there were only tens of thousands of people, but after walking through half of the streets of the imperial capital, , this terrible flow of people gathered at least 200,000 people, but these crazy people don’t know how to vent their anger. What they do now is just imitating, imitating the people who are at the front.
Soon, someone whispered in the crowd: "I heard that the woman Faras colluded with the overlord from Cassano to do this. That Faras is obviously a minister of Queen Catherine, but she holds the power. Now Most of them have hardened wings, so they are just going to kill Her Majesty the Queen and enslave us."
"Yes, yes, I heard from my next door neighbor's uncle's cousin's friend that a lot of people came to Farasi's house a few days ago, and they all looked mysterious. It turned out that they were the ones responsible for the massacre tonight. Those warriors."
"And..."
Any sane person who hears these so-called inside information will immediately understand that it is all fabricated. However, the citizens of the Imperial City whose relatives were killed in front of their eyes tonight have no sense at all. They are like a completed person. The magic circle, as long as someone activates it, will erupt with terrifying power, destroying everything in front of it.
"Let's go kill that shameless woman." I don't know who shouted, and the entire crowd flowing blindly on the street immediately began to get excited. More than 200,000 citizens of the Imperial City who were blinded by hatred started to attack those who had ulterior motives. Under the temptation of others, they have unknowingly regarded Faras as the mastermind of all the tragedies tonight, and their target is directly at Faras's mansion.
Of course, Faras's mansion is well-defended, but this can only be used against a small number of enemies. Now more than 200,000 ordinary citizens have rushed over like this. The few hundred people in Faras's residence are of no avail. The defense of the main entrance Dozens of guards were submerged in the sea of crowds without even making a splash.
When Orlando heard the news and led his men to rush over, Farasi's mansion had been turned into ruins by the angry crowd. Seeing this scene in front of him, Orlando's heart suddenly twitched, because his wife, Farasi's My sister Sophie Redea has been living here during this time.
Sophie didn't know any martial arts or magic at all, and she had no ability to protect herself. Facing the crazy crowd, her fate... Orlando didn't dare to think about it anymore. The only thing he could do was to immediately issue an order to let all the The men were dispatched to restore order here,
Due to the previous riots in the city, Orlando's elite men were naturally distributed throughout the city, so there are not many people around Orlando now, only a few hundred people. This number of people is nothing among the hundreds of thousands of people, especially It is impossible for Orlando and his holy knights to take action against the people they protect. The only thing they can do is to conduct,
Obviously, Orlando and his holy knights are far inferior to Catherine's speech with natural charm in terms of language. Especially now that the whole scene is in chaos, no one will listen to other people's persuasion, and it is impossible to speak with a full heart. Before venting your anger, you can listen to other people's advice.
Orlando desperately activated his divine power. He hoped to use his aura to infect the citizens who were blinded by hatred, but there were as many as 200,000 of them, covering Faras's mansion and all the nearby streets. Orlando's personal power No matter how powerful you are, how many people can you influence
"You are always so indecisive." Victor's voice appeared in Orlando's ears. Orlando turned around and saw Victor holding Faras in his arms and slowly descending from his side. Tonight If Vivian hadn't blocked the blow for Faras, I'm afraid Faras would have disappeared long ago. Later, Catherine got a skeleton dragon to restrain Victor, but she ran away, so the skeleton The dragon endured Victor's rage and became a part of the fertile earth,
After the battle, the shocked Faras immediately led people to dig out the unconscious Ryan from under the collapsed wine cellar. Fortunately, the time was short, otherwise Ryan would have probably suffocated to death in the coma. Originally, Faras planned to protect him. By Ryan's side, but the harassment from the imperial capital forced her to come back with Victor. Anyway, with Alando and the others guarding Ryan, Faras was not worried about her lover's safety.
In order to rush back as quickly as possible, Victor naturally used the flying technique without any scruples, and brought Farasi with him. Although Farasi was not strong enough, her identity was the Grand Consul, and regardless of Victor's Any plan must rely on Farasi’s identity to be conveyed.
After Faras stood firm, Victor let go of her, then pointed at the chaos in front of him and said to Orlando: "There are your relatives there too, are you just indifferent?"
"I can't break my oath, and they were just incited." Orlando gritted his teeth and replied,
"In that case, please get out of the way and take your people away. You have never been here tonight." Victor said lightly, with a faint blue halo surrounding him.
Orlando's expression changed, and he said loudly: "These are hundreds of thousands of people, and I will never allow you to do this."
"Then the two of us will have a fight first." Victor said without giving in.
"I won't let you hurt my people." Orlando replied firmly,
"So you would rather sacrifice your wife." Victor said to Orlando in a mocking tone,
"Sacrificing others for your own benefit, how is this any different from those despicable guys?" Orlando's eyes were full of tears, but he stubbornly raised his head and did not let even a drop of tears flow from his eyes. ,
"Stop talking, you should think about how to deal with the commotion in front of you." It was also the first time for Faras to see Orlando in this state. She knew that her brother-in-law was also very painful inside, and did not want her teacher to be here. Orlando was irritated by this incident, so he took Victor's hand and said: "Things will always have a solution, but quarrels definitely don't."
"Hmph, I don't have that much power to activate a spiritual forbidden spell to make them obey." Victor knew what Faras was thinking, so he did not continue to ridicule Orlando, but he still pointed out the key to the problem at hand.
Orlando looked deeply at the ruins of Faras Mansion, and suddenly he half-knelt on the ground.
Victor snorted and said, "Now is not the time for confession."
Orlando didn't make any move, but a vague holy aura emerged from his body.
