The huge bell on the corner of the palace square made a low whimpering sound. Two burly warriors worked together to beat the huge clock with a huge iron hammer. The sound of the bell seemed to have some kind of sound. The invisible sense of oppression made the imperial ministers and nobles standing outside the hall tremble.
Groups of Royal Guards soldiers, fully armed, walked to the square in front of the Guangming Hall, arranged in a fan-shaped array, and stood around the square. Twenty golden-armored warriors holding battle axes stood in the hall. On both sides of the outside, people stood solemnly.
The noble ministers of the imperial capital stood on both sides of the square according to their respective ranks, waiting...
No one knew what they were waiting for. Everyone looked at the door of the main hall above and knew very well that it was impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to appear in that place today - His Majesty the Emperor Abbas XI is still here. Lying in bed.
After a majestic shout, everyone turned their gaze away and watched as Her Majesty the Queen slowly walked out of a side door behind the main hall.
To everyone's surprise, Her Majesty the Queen was holding a scepter that symbolized the authority of the Emperor of the Empire of Light! The six huge gems on the scepter shone with dazzling light. Her Majesty the Queen held the scepter in her hand and slowly walked to the steps in front of the hall...
Her Majesty the Queen's face was a little pale, but her expression was still calm. Behind her was Miss Nicole in military uniform. Miss Nicole was wearing the uniform of the Tulip family today, but the suit that was supposed to be a man's was worn on her On his body, he showed a bit of heroic demeanor. But now everyone has almost ignored her, and countless pairs of eyes are looking at the bulging belly under Her Majesty’s dress... K,~}(Yi{
Her Majesty the Queen slowly raised her scepter and said loudly: "In the name of the great Emperor of the Bright Empire, may the gods bless the prosperity of our empire!"
When everyone saw her raising her scepter, they immediately lowered their heads and said in unison: "Salute to Your Majesty!"
Her Majesty the Queen glanced at the entire audience, then glanced at Miss Nicole standing beside her, and said solemnly: "Everyone must know that our Emperor is seriously ill! Today I summon all the important ministers of the empire to Zhushi. Come on, just..."
Just as she said this, she heard a shout from outside the square: "Put down that scepter! That's not yours to take!"
Only the sound of leather boots was heard, and Prince Balang, dressed in military uniform, strode in!
Behind him were the Marquis of Caroline, General Bayi, the commander of the Central Cavalry Corps, and a dozen fully armed officers of the Central Cavalry Corps.
The queen seemed to have an unnatural expression, and couldn't help but look towards Miss Nicole. Miss Nicole frowned and nodded to her, indicating that she had to persist.
Prince Balang strode to the steps of the square and shouted to the queen: "This scepter was left by our ancestor, the great Abbasid the Great! It symbolizes the supreme imperial power of the redbud flower. You are not qualified to take it!"
Her Majesty the Queen's face turned a little pale, but with the encouragement from Miss Nicole's eyes, she still said: "This scepter can only be held by His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty is currently seriously ill and cannot afford it. I only use it to meet the Imperial subjects on His Majesty's behalf. What's wrong?"
Prince Balang said coldly: "Since His Majesty is seriously ill, the most important thing right now is to treat His Majesty's body. Her Majesty the Queen summoned everyone at this time and held His Majesty's scepter... Have you forgotten? Our ancestor Abbas the Great established this It’s an ironclad decree that women are not allowed to participate in politics!”
What he said was extremely forceful, and there was no trace of respect on his face. He held his head high and stared at the queen's face like lightning. The imperial nobles and ministers on both sides of him were silent. .
The queen gritted her teeth and whispered: "Your Majesty is in danger at the moment. As the queen, I call the imperial nobles to come for discussion. Does this count as interfering in politics?"
There is some truth in what he said, but the Queen's voice was low, and her tone was far less tough than Prince Balang's, and her momentum was inevitably weaker by three points.
Miss Nicole sighed in her heart and immediately said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, Her Majesty the Queen has summoned everyone to discuss important matters concerning Your Majesty's health! What you are saying is going too far!"
Before Prince Barran spoke, Marquis Caroline behind him said coldly: "Ms. Nicole, in what capacity are you speaking here? The head of the Tulip family should be the Duke, not you, right? Miss. As a woman, she doesn’t have a title or official position. It seems that she doesn’t have the right to speak in this situation!”
Miss Nicole said coldly: "Her Majesty the Queen has recruited my brother to return to the imperial capital. He is on the way now. As the eldest daughter of the Tulip family, I attend today's ceremony on behalf of the Duke. What's wrong?"
Prince Balang shook his head, just looked at the Queen, and said coldly: "Your Majesty the Queen, you are not wrong in calling everyone, but the Emperor is still alive at this moment, so you just come out with His Majesty's scepter and want to issue orders on His Majesty's behalf? Please? Put down the scepter, and then say whatever you want! You must not take that scepter! Not even your Majesty can disobey the iron orders of our ancestors!"
The queen hesitated for a moment and glanced at Miss Nicole. Miss Nicole frowned and was about to speak when she suddenly heard the warrior outside the square shout loudly: "His Majesty the Pope is here!"
The honor guards on both sides immediately played the highest standard of ceremonial music, and then they saw Corsica VI fluttering in white, followed by three bishops and elders, striding into the square.
Prince Balan's eyes immediately turned cold, and he turned to look at Corsica VI.
Corsica VI walked up to the crowd, smiled faintly, and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Just as the Queen and Prince Balan were facing each other tit for tat in the square in front of the Guangming Palace, behind the palace, outside the palace of His Majesty the Emperor Abbas XI, a man walked over with his head lowered. He was wearing the uniform of a medical officer, and under the watchful eyes of groups of heavily armed Guardsmen, he kept his head lowered as he walked.
Elder Charles, the court warlock who was guarding outside the palace, glanced at the visitor, frowned and said: "Medical Officer Crewe, you are late today! His Majesty seemed to have something wrong just now, and he has just calmed down!"
The medical officer Crewe didn't speak, just nodded and walked inside. Elder Charles watched the medical officer walk into the palace. When he walked to his side, he suddenly felt a chill in his body, and something was abnormal in his heart. , but frowning and looking around, there was nothing wrong.
There was silence in the palace. After passing through two doors, there was a huge room with a large bed in the middle, surrounded by white gauze curtains. Emperor Abbas XI could faintly be seen lying in it.
There was no sound in the room, except for the faint breathing of His Majesty the Emperor, which was long and short, vague and absent.
Medical officer Crewe walked to the window, lifted up the gauze curtain and stood beside the bed. He looked at the dying Abbas XI, sighed, and whispered: "Oh, how pitiful, the majestic emperor, But to fall into such a situation... Human beings are such fragile creatures... "
"I really don't understand you..." A voice behind him said coldly: "You go to such great lengths and troubles to enter the palace... With our abilities, who can stop us from entering?"
A huge, fat figure appeared behind him, it was Fatty Tianlie.
The medical officer looked back at him and said coldly: "Do you think everyone is the same as you? A strong person in the field... hum... If you hadn't forcibly learned some vampire's 'Blood Escape' from that little bat, you How can you come in so unnoticed? Besides, I can't learn that kind of thing... I'm not a strong person in this field."
He glanced at Tian Lie and said coldly: "I know what you want to say. You must say, 'With your uncle Tian Lie's ability, who can stop you if you want to come in?' Or you want to say, 'You, Uncle Tian Lie, can't stop you if you want to come in.'" Uncle Lie never likes such sneaky things, does he?"
Tian Lie looked embarrassed, but said harshly: "How do you know!"
The medical officer sighed and said calmly: "What else is there in your big head besides this kind of thought? Let me tell you, it is luck that we can come in. The elder Charles did not use the penetrating technique to look at you today. Otherwise, Is it so easy to hide the "Blood Escape" from others after you have learned it for a few days? Do you think you can learn the "Blood Escape" of the Vampire Clan in just a few days? Besides, if we make any big noise, what will happen? There’s no way to continue! You only know how to use your fists, when will you learn to use your brain?”
Tian Lie said angrily: "So much nonsense, now that we are in, what are you going to do? I heard that the square outside is very lively today. Looking at this half-dead emperor here, I might as well watch the excitement outside. !”
The medical officer chuckled: "Look, this is the difference. I use my brain and you do it. So although you are stronger than me, you now have to listen to my words and do everything. Let me tell you, if you don't do this, you won't be able to do it." No... you stay here now. No matter who comes in later, you will be blocked by me... and you can't expose yourself. "
"Why?"
The medical officer rolled his eyes: "When my old man is doing this, naturally no one can disturb me. Besides, if someone sees it, there will be no point in playing this game!"
"Okay!" Tian Lie said angrily: "If anyone comes in, I will rip off his head and throw it outside the palace!"
Seeing Tian Lie walking outside, the medical officer sighed, stretched out a hand to gently stroke Abbas XI's head, and whispered: "Poor man, what if you are the emperor?" Like? Sigh..."
A ray of light shot out of his hand and slowly poured into the emperor's head. Then the unconscious emperor took a sharp breath, and then died!
The medical officer shook his head: "I killed someone... I finally killed someone with my own hands... Oh, this is how it feels to kill someone."
A strange smile appeared on his face, and then his body was slowly enveloped by a ball of light...
At this moment, outside the south gate of the imperial capital, a cloud of dust rose in the distance on the road, the ground shook, and the sound of horse hooves like raindrops continued, faintly coming from far and near...
The soldiers of the Central Cavalry Corps at the south gate of the handle were shocked and immediately lined up nervously. Teams of archers on the city wall were immediately ready!
I saw a group of cavalry coming from far away on the road. The leading cavalryman held a flag high in his hand, with a tulip pattern fluttering in the wind.
Rody saw the city gate in the distance and immediately shouted loudly. The cavalry speeded up and pushed towards the city gate!
After the horn sounded, a group of cavalry wearing Thunder God's Whip ran out of the city gate and rushed towards the cavalry coming from the main road!
Rody waved his hand, and his troops stopped quickly. In a moment, the cavalry team of tens of thousands of people stopped on the road, looking murderously at the Central Cavalry Corps team running in front of them.
"Who is coming!" the captain of the Central Cavalry Corps shouted loudly.
"Nonsense!" Commander Sieg rushed to the front and shouted: "Didn't you see the flag? Duke Tulip has returned to the imperial capital! Get out of the way!"
The captain of the Central Cavalry Corps immediately broke down in cold sweat, but he still said loudly: "I recognize you, you are Commander Qiege! But General Bai has an order that no one is allowed to enter or leave the city today! Now the imperial capital is controlled by our 'Thunder God' The whip has taken over! To enter the city, you must have a warrant from Prince Balang!"
"Thunder God's Whip?" Sieg looked at the other party coldly: "You dare to call yourself 'Thunder God's Whip'? Get out of the way! Can you stop Duke Tulip!"
The officer was sweating profusely and still said: "His Royal Highness has an order. We are ordered to hold the city gate. If I let you in, it will be a death penalty!"
Rody rode his horse and walked slowly to the front, took a cold look and said, "I am Duke Tulip, and I am returning to the imperial capital on the order of Her Majesty the Queen! Has Prince Balang rebelled now? Why does he give the order?"
While they were talking, there was a lot of noise in the city gate, and then a large group of cavalry ran out, formed a formation, and blocked the city gate. It turned out that the situation was not good, and the large group of cavalry inside the city gate immediately came out!
Thousands of cavalry formed a formation under the city gate, and then the huge city gate behind them slowly closed.
Rody raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What? You dare to fight me?"
The leader of the large group of cavalry who ran out suddenly said loudly: "Your Excellency, I am Commander Sander of the Central Cavalry Corps. Have you seen me..."
Rody glanced at him, the same look he had seen when he was selecting people from the Central Cavalry Corps to fight in the northwest.
Commander Sander took a few steps and shouted: "Your Majesty the Duke, it's not that we won't let you into the city, it's just that the prince has given an order, and our General Bayi has also given an order not to let you in... I think it's better to invite the Duke. The team is stationed outside the city, go into the city yourself!"
Sieg had an evil look in his eyes and said coldly: "Sander, with so many people you have brought, do you think you can stop the Duke?"
Rody was anxious and immediately shouted: "Get out of my way immediately, Commander Sander, our Wolf Fang Army can kill all your people in just a moment! Believe it or not!"
Sieg took a deep breath, raised his scimitar, and shouted: "Wolf fangs!!"
All I heard was a neat "Swipe..." Tens of thousands of scimitars were pulled out and raised at the same time, and then tens of thousands of voices shouted in unison: "Kill!!!"
The entire Wolf Fang Army team took a step forward at the same time!
Sander and his cavalry immediately felt a cold murderous aura! Some people's hands began to tremble, and their eyes showed fear - these Central Cavalry Corps are no longer the elite "Thunder God's Whip" back then, let alone compared with these truly elite Wolf Fang Army who have been on the northwest battlefield
Just the murderous aura that the Wolf Fang Army exuded, which was honed in flesh-and-blood combat on the battlefield, already made them tremble with fear!
Sander was sweating like rain, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the Duke, it is really..."
"Shut up!" Rody shouted coldly: "I count to three, if you don't give way, we will break in on our own!"
"one!"
"Boom..." Tens of thousands of horses took a step forward in order.
"two!"
Countless scimitars were slowly raised, reflecting a cold light under the sunlight!
"Three!" Rody raised his eyebrows and pulled out the scimitar in his hand. He just raised it and was about to give the order to kill when he heard a sudden shout from the opponent's team! Immediately, the formation of the Central Cavalry Corps suddenly became chaotic.
Countless horses scattered in all directions, the cavalrymen ran away and scattered, and some officers abandoned the team and turned around and ran to both sides.
These people know very well that in a real fight, thousands of their own people can be killed by the opponent in a matter of seconds! What kind of team is the Wolf Fang Army? Who is the Tulip Duke
Sander's face was ashen. Although he didn't run, his legs were shaking. He said in a trembling voice: "Make... give way!"
The cavalry under his command dispersed to both sides in a chaos. Rody rode to the city on horseback without even looking at these people. He looked at the nervous archers at the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Open the door!"
Sander said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the Duke, they won't open it... Whoever opens the city gate will be punished by death..."
Rody sneered, and suddenly snatched the spear from the hand of a cavalryman beside him. A golden fighting spirit emerged from his body, and the spear in his hand turned into a fire dragon and shot out!
With a bang, the iron-like imperial capital city gate was immediately blown to pieces! Amidst the screams and neighing, Rody pulled out the Dragon Tooth Sword and coldly shouted to the archers at the top of the city: "If you have the guts, shoot an arrow!!"
After saying that, he rushed in immediately.
Tens of thousands of wolf-fang troops followed behind them, raising a cloud of dust and rushing into the imperial capital...
