The two stood on the steps and watched the royal carriage coming, but the escort cavalry walking in front did not stop before they came to the palace, but went directly to the inner direction of the imperial city.
Adric glanced at Ruhr suspiciously.
At this moment, the carriage had come to the bottom of the steps, and the voice of Ghisrent was heard in the carriage.
"Pause."
Storm Child stuck his head out of the car window and glanced at the two people standing on the steps. Adric and Ruhl also stared at Ghisrent with undisguised cold eyes.
"Long time no see, Ruhl." Gisslent smiled.
The fat man snorted with his nose, even as a greeting.
"You don't have to be so indifferent when you see old friends." Gisslent shrugged his shoulders and said in a leisurely tone, "I still remember the days when we drank together."
"If I knew there was today, I should have killed you." Fatty snorted, but his tone was obviously not polite at all.
Jislent didn't seem to care about this kind of joke at all, and glanced at the two of them: "The two...are you here for tonight's event?" The General Landis then showed a strange smile: "That's not a coincidence. Now, the person that His Majesty the Emperor of your country has just sent to pick me up told me that tonight's meeting has been changed to his inner court study."
Both Adric and Ruhl slightly changed color!
His Majesty the Emperor's arrangement is obviously determined, and he doesn't want people to disturb their meeting!
Gisslent glanced at Adric and sighed suddenly: "Adric, why are you so persistent? Let's face the facts."
Adrick said lightly: "If you and I switch places, and you stand in my place, what would you do?"
Jislent smiled slightly: "Yes, if I were you, I would try my best to stop it."
After speaking, he patted the carriage and closed the window.
The convoy then continued to head towards the imperial city under the escort of cavalry guards.
Adrick was about to step up to follow, when an officer of the Royal Forest Army came out of the escorting cavalry, and stopped in front of Adrick on horseback. After saluteing Adrick, he said neither humble nor arrogant: "Sir, Your Majesty has an order, Tonight's meeting is private, and no ministers will be convened to discuss matters."
Adrick's face turned pale when he heard it, then instantly flushed red and clenched his fists silently.
Ruhr sighed, pulled Adric gently, and cast a glance at the other party, indicating that the other party should be calm.
Adrick took a deep breath, slowly loosened his fists, and stopped moving.
The Kingsguard officer looked at it, saluted Adric, then turned his horse and followed the convoy inside.
Adric and Ruhr watched the convoy go away, and Ruhr slowly said: "Don't worry, just in the past two days, they will talk tonight. It's not so soon. We still have time."
Adrick nodded: "I'm just worried that our majesty is too impatient, tonight..."
Ruhl laughed: "His Majesty is a little anxious, but he is by no means an idiot, and he won't do such things, I think..."
Fatty was about to continue when he suddenly closed his mouth and his face changed dramatically!
Adrick's face, who was standing beside him, also changed!
Just because the two of them heard a strange sound almost at the same time!
hum!
It seemed to be the sound of something vibrating gently, but in the ears of the two battle-hardened generals, they immediately recognized what the sound was!
Bowstring! That's the sound of the bowstring vibrating!
Seeing that a dazzling purple light suddenly descended from the sky, with a whistling sound, it flew into the convoy!
Adric and Ruhl saw it clearly, the purple light was clearly a sharp arrow! The arrow is covered with a layer of purple vindictive light!
Only a bang was heard, and the front of the royal carriage was blown to smithereens. The horses pulling the carriage were frightened, and they neighed and galloped with their hooves raised. He fell from the carriage, and saw that the frightened horse was about to run wildly into the slash with the carriage...
The guards of the Royal Forest Army guarding on the side were indeed elites. An officer had already rushed up with a flying horse, pulled out a long sword, and stabbed one into the neck of the horse pulling the cart! The sword light flashed, and the head of the royal horse who was pulling the carriage was immediately cut off, and the body fell to the ground with a bang, and then the officer shouted: "Everyone forms a circle to protect the carriage! The left team, the right team, the two wings. Get out and search for the assassin's location! Quick!"
The cavalry in the Imperial Forest Army moved closer one after another, and separated into two groups of people who rushed out on horseback, while the rest gathered around the carriage, raised their riding shields, and firmly covered the surroundings of the carriage!
Adric and Ruhl were also stunned by this change. They glanced at each other and said at the same time, "I didn't arrange it."
Immediately Ruhr took a breath: "Adric... I remember that this kind of purple vindictive arrow, it seems that only one person can shoot..."
Adrick's face suddenly became extremely gloomy!
At this moment, there were a few bangs, and a few more smashing sounds, and then I saw several sharp arrows being shot into the crowd, but it was strange that these arrows hit the shields of the cavalry of the Royal Forest Army, but it was easy to see them. It was bounced off and fell to the ground. It turned out that the arrow was broken!
It's just that every arrow seems to be tied with a small piece of wood...
"Right on the right! The assassin is on the right!" At this moment, the Imperial Forest Army immediately identified the assassin's position from the direction of the arrow, and the two teams of cavalry rushed over...
But just at this moment, the arrows that had just shot into the crowd and landed on the ground with broken arrows suddenly exploded on the ground!
bang bang...
The piece of wood burst, and a cloud of faint smoke shot out from it. Several arrows burst open, and the smoke that spread out immediately enveloped the people around the carriage.
The cavalry of the Royal Forest Army had inhaled the smoke, and immediately felt dizzy, their hands and feet were weak, and the weapons in their hands were also thrown on the ground, and they all fell off their horses.
"Poisonous! Hold your breath!" The Royal Forest Army officer shouted, but at this time there were already quite a few soldiers inhaling poisonous smoke. Seeing that dozens of Royal Forest Army cavalry had already collapsed in half, the officer immediately took out a horn from his waist and blew it vigorously!
This is asking for help!
Most of the imperial guards in the imperial city have already been transferred to the city wall to participate in the battle, and the number of people left in the palace is not large, so his request for help may not be able to come in a short time. But after all, this is the Royal Palace, the center of Osgilia, there is always some hidden power!
Not to mention... the legendary "Dark Night Royal Forest" loyal to the royal family has not been dispatched yet!
The horn in the officer's hand just blew a sound, and suddenly he heard a "boom" sound, and a purple light shot in front of him instantly, directly hitting the horn in his hand! With a bang, the horn suddenly exploded into pieces, the officer screamed, fell off the horse, inhaled the poisonous smoke again, and quickly fainted.
Adrick stood far away on the steps of the palace and was about to run over, but Ruhl grabbed him, and the fat man sneered: "What? Isn't this a good opportunity."
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped down from the roof of the imperial city building on the right. The figure was as fast as a rabbit, and the figure was swept in the air in the wind, and it was drawn far away, as light and agile as a swallow cutting water. !
After a few ups and downs, a purple figure fell on the side of the team!
Long purple hair, purple eyes, and a cold half iron face!
As soon as he saw this person, Adrick's face suddenly turned pale as paper!
Via! Of course Via!
It can only be Via!
※※※
Via has quickly dodged into the crowd. The longbow in her hand had a few inverted blades protruding from both sides of the bow. In between, she rushed into the crowd, her figure flashed, and the rest of the Royal Forest Army suddenly fell.
In the smoke, it was extremely difficult for the garrison troops to resist. Via rushed into the crowd and knocked down many people in a few ups and downs. Although the remaining garrison troops resisted, as soon as they opened their mouths to breathe, they immediately inhaled poisonous smoke and fell from their horses. !
With a stern expression on her face, and she kept her feet on her feet, she rushed straight towards the carriage in the middle. Wherever she passed, all the cavalry of the Royal Forest Army who stood in front of her fell off their horses. Finally, Via didn't make a bad move. Those garrison troops who were knocked down by her were not injured. Adrick and Ruhl stood in the distance, both of them were a little sluggish.
Just as Via was approaching the carriage of the carriage, he heard a bang, the door of the carriage suddenly shattered, and the turbulent shards of wood were shot towards Via! A cold light flashed in Via's purple eyes! She immediately stepped back, but just after that mass of shattered wood chips, Ghisrent's figure had already emerged from the carriage! This Lantis general was in the air, and he quickly drew out the saber from his waist. The blade flashed a cold light and stabbed at Via!
Via's body retreated in mid-air, and among the shattered pieces of wood shot by the turbulent, Ghislent's blade had been hidden in front of Via! I saw Via's body suddenly twist in the air, and the longbow in his hand was swung away.
Just heard "ding ding ding ding..." a series of dense and crisp sounds, the inverted blade on the bow horn and Ghisrent's command knife have collided several times in a row! Via's figure quickly fell to the ground with this strength. As soon as she landed, she immediately stood up and rushed up, and she didn't stop at all!
Ghisrent's offensive was blocked, and he originally thought that this opponent would retreat a little, but how did he expect Via to be so ruthless, not pausing at all, not even breathing back his anger, before he landed on the ground and then counterattacked
Via's figure is really like a ghost. Although she has a limp, but when fighting, her movement is as fast as lightning! The longbow flickered, and the inverted blade rolled in front of Ghisrent, with a purple light!
Ghisrent gritted his teeth and waved the command knife in his hand to resist a few times. This famous general of Landis is not bad at martial arts, but the problem is that there is thick poisonous smoke around him. Revia, standing in the thick smoke at the moment, when he hit hard just now, he had already spent a lot of energy, and he couldn't open his mouth to breathe. Naturally, he suffered a big loss.
He gritted his teeth and waved the knife to block it a few times. Because he couldn't breathe because of the loss, his strength was naturally insufficient. He barely resisted, but was beaten by Wea's bow knife, and the bow horn blade in Wea's hand almost slashed several times. For the vital point of Ghislent, fortunately, this Son of the Storm of Landis is also not weak, trying his best to dodge, the bright uniform on his body was cut into tatters after all.
Finally, Vija's tricks could not bring about Ghisrent, and suddenly he shouted loudly, and the bow horn blade rolled over. Just as Ghisrent swung the knife to resist, Vija suddenly bent, and took the throne with a strange succession. With a stance, he pulled a long arrow from the bow quiver on his back with his backhand!
The size of this arrow is obviously much longer than ordinary arrows. Via held it in his hand, and suddenly stabbed forward!
Ding!
Jislent's knife slashed on the arrow, but the blade's edge was suddenly shortened into two pieces!
Jislent was horrified, and secretly regretted it. Today, he thought that when he entered the palace for talks, what he was wearing on his waist was not a real combat weapon, but a ceremonial command knife. This kind of command knife is not suitable for combat, but is only used as a ceremonial decoration. Although the material is also Not bad, but obviously the weapon in the assassin's hand is more sophisticated, and he doesn't know what the arrow is made of, but he can break his own knife!
Jislent is also a decisive person. As soon as the blade was cut, he did not hesitate to shoot the half-cut knife in his hand towards Via, without hesitation at all! The speed of this response is amazing!
Via also didn't seem to have expected the other party to react so quickly. The broken knife flew in front of her, and Via immediately dodged and saw a purple shadow. Although she avoided the blade, the few strands of purple hair on her head turned Cut off!
Via's eyes were cold, and his body immediately rushed up again. At this moment, Ghisrent had no weapons in his hands. He was bare-handed, so he could only try his best to step back, but he suddenly became hard behind him, but he found that he had retreated to the carriage, and there was no way to retreat. !
Via has a long arrow in one hand and a long bow in the other, with fluttering purple hair, and his body is as fast as lightning! In the fight just now, Ghislent had already judged that the opponent's strength was only higher than his own! On weekdays, if you have a weapon in your hand, you can fight against the opponent, but now, with your bare hands, you can't breathe...
(Can't think of dying in Byzantium... Alas, unfortunately, the sound of the harp can no longer be heard... )
A strange light flashed in Ghisrent's eyes, he sighed secretly, and simply closed his eyes and waited to die.
Via strode forward, the longbow horn in his hand, the inverted blade flashing with cold light had already wrapped around Ghisrent's neck! Seeing that this famous Lantis general is about to suffer a decapitation here...
Ding! ! !
Just when Via's blade was about to kiss Ghisrent's neck, he heard a crisp voice, and then Via's whole body suddenly trembled, only feeling a strange force, knocking himself straight back. out!
On the horn of the bow in his hand, an inverted blade has been broken!
She took seven or eight steps back in one breath, still feeling that her whole body trembled uncontrollably like an electric shock. Just now, a force broke her blade, and then it swept up directly along her wrist. This strange force made Wea suddenly felt as if all her internal organs were hit hard. She tried her best to support her, but she finally spit out a mouthful of blood with a wow!
After seeing the thick smoke, a middle-aged man in a blue shirt slowly walked out.
The middle-aged man's expression was indifferent, his hands were tucked into his sleeves, he walked slowly, and stood in front of Jislent!
Seeing this person, including Via, and even Ruhl and Ghisrent in the distance, all turned pale!
This middle-aged man, all three of them know each other! Especially the imperial generals like Ruhr and Adric!
All along, this middle-aged man has been following the old emperor Cantos' side like a shadow for many years! Now, he has become the "shadow" of the new emperor Garcia! !
No one knows exactly the origin of this shadow, but everyone knows very well that this guy is definitely a master with amazing strength!
As soon as Via saw this middle-aged man standing in front of him, he knew that he would definitely not be able to succeed today. In fact, although she had also heard of this middle-aged man, she didn't know exactly how deep the other person was. It's just that, in a fight just now, the opponent directly broke his bow horn, and his power even penetrated directly into his body, causing him to be seriously injured in one move!
Such strength is obviously more than one layer higher than himself!
Since Via was determined to lose in her heart, she was also someone who made a decisive decision. She immediately clenched her teeth and stepped back quickly. With a flash of her figure, she shot out into the air and headed towards the roof of the building on the right.
"Is this going?"
an indifferent voice.
The middle-aged man seemed to wave his sleeves gently, and he had already rushed to Via in mid-air. His figure suddenly froze. Under the waving of the middle-aged man's sleeve robe, he fell directly from the air and fell to the ground. This time, I couldn't stand still, and I fell directly. My legs hurt. Fortunately, I struggled to support it with a longbow, and I fell to one knee on the ground.
Via raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in horror!
The two were far apart just now, but the other... He...
Did he just wave his sleeves? ! Just volleyed yourself down? !
"You are Via." The middle-aged man has slowly walked in front of Via, his steps are slow and relaxed, as if there is no firework, but his voice and tone are very strange, and even a bit clumsy. : "I've heard of you, you have done a lot for the royal family, and you have made a lot of credit."
Via bit her lip, she looked at the middle-aged man, and her thoughts moved quickly.
The enemy can't be beaten, and the walk can't go away...
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Via's eyes immediately, and suddenly he raised his hand and stabbed the long arrow in his hand into his throat!
Adric who was in the distance suddenly cried out, and suddenly rushed over. But so far apart, how can you catch up
Via closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, and stabbed the arrow into her neck fiercely... But suddenly, just when the arrow was about to touch the skin of her neck, she saw that her hand was empty!
Looking up, I saw that the arrow had already landed in the middle-aged man's hand!
Via this time, even the heart is cold!
The middle-aged man held the arrow in his hand and looked at it carefully, the corner of his mouth seemed to be slightly tugged, a smile that was not a smile.
"Xingzhuanjian... Hey, the person who taught you is so ruthless, he will teach you something like this."
Via's heart moved... Similar words, it seems that a few days ago, in Wildfire Town, the mysterious master named Aunt Sofia once said to him...
"I read that you made a lot of credit for the royal family back then. I won't let you die today... I can also let you go."
The middle-aged man raised his hand slightly, and the arrow fell on the ground in front of Via.
"I don't even ask who instructed you to come." The middle-aged man said lightly: "Everyone understands this kind of thing, so it's better not to pick it up."
His face was indifferent, but suddenly his eyes crossed Weiya and looked into the distance. In the distance, Ruhr was pulling Adric firmly.
"His Majesty has ordered me to protect Ghislund. In the future, before he leaves Byzantium, I will be by his side. So..." The middle-aged man shook his head: "No matter who it is, no matter what the idea is, all Take it back."
The faces of Adrick and Fatty turned ashen!
Obviously, the middle-aged man's words were not only to Via, but also to the two of them!
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and left, walked to the carriage, and picked up the strange-looking Ghisrent.
"Your Majesty is waiting for you, please come with me."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he led Jislent away with a leisurely expression, as if the Royal Forest Army lay in this place, the assassins in the distance, the broken carriage... None of this happened before!
"We... I'm afraid we have to change our plan." Ruhl swallowed hard: "I don't have the ability to assassinate Ghisrent under the protection of this monster... This monster, I'm afraid it can kill me in seconds when I raise my hand. already."
Adrick didn't speak, but just stared straight at Via, who was half-kneeling and gasping for breath in the distance, with a complicated expression.
Finally, Via slowly stood up, and his body was still shaking, but he finally flew up and jumped up again. In the darkness, he climbed up to the roof and quickly disappeared.
Adric still stared blankly at the direction in which Via disappeared in the night sky...
Ruhl sighed: "You care about her very much?"
Adrick didn't speak.
"Since she's not dead or caught, then don't worry. I'm thinking now... Who sent her here!"
Adrick suddenly whispered: "No one sent her, she came by herself."
The fat man frowned: "How do you know?"
Adrick smiled bitterly: "She said that in this world, only Cavie Hill is qualified to make her obey, and other people are not qualified to order her to do anything. Therefore, what happened tonight must be her own. the meaning of."
Ruhl knocked on his forehead: "This meeting destroyed the layout left by Cavie Hill... So, Via shot... The reason also makes sense, but... "
Fatty suddenly smiled: "I said Scarface, I always have a question I want to ask you."
Adrick looked worried: "What?"
"...you look so ugly, but how did you give birth to such a beautiful daughter?"
※※※
"Hey, I said, can you not take off your clothes?"
On the bed, Xia Ya hugged her last little coat tightly, looking at the poor bastard with a frown.
Adeline's face was as gentle as water, and she said softly, "No way... Come on, be obedient, and take off your clothes."
