There was already a quarrel in the square in the palace. Prince Barran and the Queen were tit-for-tat, and Miss Nicole interjected with Marquis Caroline from time to time.
The two sides are fighting over the succession to the throne.
Her Majesty the Queen's side indicated that the Emperor was critically ill, and the position of the crown prince should be established immediately, and the prince in Her Majesty the Queen's womb should inherit the throne.
Prince Barran insisted that the emperor had not died yet and that Her Majesty the Queen had no right to decide the position of the crown prince, while Nicole said that it was natural for the prince to inherit the throne. Marquis Caroline immediately retorted, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had not spoken, so it would be unfair for the prince to be the crown prince...
Prince Balang's attitude was extremely tough. In the end, he simply pulled out his long sword, stabbed it into the ground, and shouted: "The empire is a great cause created by our ancestor Abbas the Great. How can we allow you, a woman, to usurp it! Even though His Majesty the Emperor is ill, In a coma, are the descendants of Abbasid the Great at your mercy?"
The Queen's face turned pale, and King Corsica VI next to her suddenly said softly: "Usurpation?"
He suddenly took a step forward, looked at Prince Balang coldly, raised his voice and said coldly: "His Royal Highness Prince Balang, did you just say usurpation? Then let me tell you, what is usurpation!"
The leader of the Divine Religion of the Bright Empire had a majestic look in his eyes, and said slowly in a deep and deep voice: "According to the decree of the Light Empire, the emperor of the Bright Empire must be a loyal believer of the Divine Religion! The emperor must believe in the great gods. ! Even the great Abbasid was a loyal believer in God!"
His voice echoed over the square, and he looked at Prince Balan coldly. Prince Balan felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but take a step back, as if he couldn't resist the Pope's gaze.
Corsica VI said coldly: "Your Highness, you just mentioned usurpation... So let me ask you, what is usurpation? Is it usurpation for the son of Her Majesty the Queen and the prince of His Majesty the Emperor to inherit the throne? According to your meaning , Should the throne not be inherited by His Majesty the Emperor’s son, but by his brother, you?”
The voice of Corsica VI seemed to have some strange magic and oppression. Prince Barran looked a little wrong, but suddenly saw the Marquis Caroline beside him, and remembered that he must be tough, and immediately said proudly: " The baby hasn't been born yet, but His Majesty's body may not be able to last that long... Should an unborn baby be the emperor of this empire?"
As soon as these words came out, many nobles nodded slightly - for such a huge empire, it is really unreasonable for an unborn baby to inherit the throne... Although he was the emperor's son, if His Majesty died suddenly, Should the throne remain vacant for a while until the baby is born? Even if you wait a few months for the baby to be born, how can a baby manage such a huge empire
Corsica VI nodded, with a smile on his face: "Very good, Your Highness, you finally spoke your mind... Do you think you should inherit the throne, don't you?"
Before Prince Balan could answer, Corsica VI's expression suddenly changed. There was a sharp questioning in his voice, and he said loudly: "Then, in the name of the great God, I ask you - you, Prince Balan, are you a true believer in the gods? Are you full of faith and respect for the great gods?"
Prince Balang looked a little unnatural, but at this moment, facing all the wealthy and noble ministers in the imperial capital, he could only say loudly: "Of course I am!"
Pope Corsica VI smiled coldly and said slowly: "Prince Balan, you are blaspheming the gods! In your heart, everything you do is blaspheming the gods! And when you say it in your mouth Such words as 'belief' in gods are even more blasphemous to gods!"
Speaking of this, Corsica VI said coldly: "Prince Balan, let me ask you, how do you explain the appearance of the vampires in your house that day? That day, there appeared in the imperial capital something that only the pagans in the north can do in the sinful land of the north. How do you explain the appearance of dragon energy in the Prince's Palace? Do you keep saying that you believe in the almighty god, but you also signed a contract with the evil vampires in the north? Collusion!"
Prince Balang's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "How could I collude with the vampires! That day the vampires attacked my prince's palace and destroyed my castle. How could you say that I colluded with the vampires!"
Corsica VI said coldly: "Very good! Then you are denying it! What you mean is that the despicable vampires attacked your castle, and the castle was destroyed in the struggle with the vampires, so you yourself It’s not collusion with the vampires, is it?”
Prince Balang immediately said: "Not bad!"
Corsica VI showed a mocking look in his eyes, and said coldly: "But that day, not only the breath of the blood clan appeared in your prince's palace, but also the breath of the dragon clan! You said that the blood clan attacked your castle, could it be that the dragon clan was helping? Are you guarding the castle? Then what kind of collusion do you have with the Dragon Clan and this northern pagan?"
Prince Balan opened his mouth wide, was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Pope, you keep saying that I am blasphemy. Do you have any evidence? I have nothing to do with these two alien races!"
Corsica VI said coldly: "Very good, you mean, they fought in your prince's palace and destroyed your prince's palace, but you yourself have no collusion with them, do you?"
After a pause, the Pope raised his voice and shouted coldly: "Then, why are there so many nobles and wealthy families in the imperial capital, but two alien races chose your mansion as the battlefield? Who among them is your ally? It's your enemy!"
Balan was furious and said angrily: "Your Majesty the Pope, you put this charge of colluding with heretics on my head. Do you have any evidence in your hand? Could it be that just by your Majesty the Pope's words, I am blasphemy?" Are you colluding with other tribes? Are you planning to intervene in our royal family’s struggle? Or are you looking forward to seizing the fruits of power?”
Corsica VI's eyes were cold and he said calmly: "The divine religion is just a servant of the gods and has no interest in the struggle for power in the world, but we will bring all those who blaspheme the gods to the due justice!"
Marquis Caroline suddenly said coldly: "Your Majesty the Pope, after all, you have no evidence - can the Pope of the divine religion judge the prince of the empire with just one word!"
This sentence is high-sounding and secretly provokes the boundary between the empire and the divine religion - the meaning is that even if you are the Pope, you have no right to condemn Prince Balang in just one sentence! After all, Prince Balan is His Highness, and only the Emperor has the right to judge him, unless the Pope thinks that the divine religion has overridden the imperial power!
How could Corsica VI be fooled by this trick? If he continues to talk, it will be tantamount to believing that the authority of the Pope can override the imperial power, which will offend all the nobles and royal families in the empire...
Corsica VI said calmly: "I am not judging His Highness the Prince... It's just that there are too many doubts about this matter, and the Divine Religion Institute will investigate them one by one... But before the investigation is clear, the Trust of the Divine Religion in His Highness the Prince, Will keep my attitude!”
As soon as these words came out, it was already clear that they did not support Prince Balang's succession. Everyone present looked at Prince Balang with a somewhat complicated look. From the founding of the Bright Empire to the present, no emperor has offended before he succeeded to the throne. God's religion!
Prince Balang laughed angrily, coldly pulled out the sword stuck on the ground, and said loudly: "Does the Divine Religion really want to take advantage of the change of imperial power in our Bauhinia family to get involved? Do you have the highest rights over the empire? Have you got a plan?! Your Majesty, if the Divine Religion really wants to plot against the Bauhinia family, then it must first ask the descendants of Emperor Abbas if they agree!"
He held the sword in his hand tightly and shouted: "At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor's life or death is uncertain! The Queen is here to summon everyone to establish a Crown Prince! Without His Majesty's order, who dares to say anything about establishing a Crown Prince? Your Majesty the Pope, even if you are Leader of the Religion, you have no say in this kind of thing!”
He raised his sword, pointed at the queen standing on the steps, and shouted: "Put down your scepter, otherwise, even if we don't talk about the crown prince today, I will hold you accountable for usurping the emperor's rights!"
He just raised his sword, and suddenly there was a strong wind in front of him. A slender figure came out and stood in front of him. His white hair was raised. Mr. Qiu said coldly: "Your Highness, please put down your sword." ! Otherwise, if you point your sword at Her Majesty, it will be a crime of treason!"
Although Prince Balang was in agitated mood at the moment, he felt a chill in his heart when facing the first warrior of the empire. Although he did not put down his sword, he took two steps back.
He slowly retreated to the back, but still shouted: "Thunder God's Whip is already guarding outside the palace! Without His Majesty's order, I will not recognize anyone who establishes the crown prince! If anyone dares to usurp the throne, then those who are loyal to the blood of the Bauhinia family Thunder God’s Whip will defend the legitimacy of the Bauhinia family to the death! Even if you are the queen, I will still send you to the guillotine!”
"Bold!" Mr. Qiu suddenly raised a hand, and Prince Barang snorted. The long sword in his hand flew out, and he fell backwards, hitting the arms of several officers behind him. inside.
Mr. Qiu stood proudly on the spot and said coldly: "I am the chief warrior of the palace, and my duty is to guard the palace! Prince Balang, you mobilized troops to surround the palace. Do you want to do harm to Her Majesty the Queen?"
Prince Balan struggled to stand up and was about to speak when he saw Marquis Caroline winking at him. His heart moved and he immediately took a step back.
He saw Mr. Qiu standing there, full of murderous intent, and his heart felt cold - if the other party really killed him with a sword, everything would be over! The other party sent Mr. Qiu to kill him on the spot. At worst, he would put all the blame on Mr. Qiu and exchange a palace warrior for the throne. That would be a great deal!
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He stood behind his men. Mr. Qiu smiled coldly and stretched out a hand. With a whoosh, Prince Balang's long sword that had fallen to the ground automatically flew into his hand.
Mr. Qiu held a sword in his hand, pointed it at Prince Balang, and shouted: "Your Highness, please withdraw the troops surrounding the palace immediately! Otherwise, I will take you down for treason!"
Nicole was also surprised. In today's plan, there was no preparation for Mr. Qiu to take action! But looking at Mr. Qiu’s current murderous aura, it doesn’t look fake at all!
Could it be... Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to really kill Prince Balang? !
"No!" A thought immediately flashed through Nicole's mind: "No matter what, Prince Balang did not openly rebel, he is still the prince of the empire! Now Mr. Qiu kills him, even if the matter is successful, then Mr. Qiu's murder of the royal family The members’ charges are now fixed!”
Cold sweat broke out on Nicole's head, and she was about to speak when she suddenly heard Mr. Qiu's voice in her ears:
"Miss Nicole, after I killed Prince Balang today, I naturally put all the blame on my head! Once Prince Balang dies, the only heir to the royal family will be the child in the queen's belly! Even if others criticize him, there is nothing he can do! I will not leave after killing him, I will commit suicide immediately! Then all the blame will be placed on my head! I have made up my mind to exchange for the safety of the queen! "
Nicole's face changed drastically. She knew that Mr. Qiu was secretly speaking to her using a secret method. She subconsciously wanted to speak loudly, but she found that her whole body seemed to be restrained by a strange force. Not to mention that she couldn't move her body, even her throat... I can’t even say a word!
Nicole was horrified. She didn't know how Mr. Qiu managed to do this. She looked at Her Majesty the Queen and saw that the Queen also had a look of fear. She knew that Her Majesty the Queen had also been restrained by Mr. Qiu!
Mr. Qiu slowly walked towards Prince Balang and said in a low voice: "Prince Balang, please give up! You disrespected the queen and privately mobilized troops outside the palace. You have committed the crime of treason!"
Prince Balang shouted, and two men in military uniforms rushed up beside him! The two men drew their swords at the same time and slashed at Mr. Qiu one from the left and the other from the right!
The surrounding aristocrats and ministers all exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect that these people would actually take action as soon as they said so! Almost everyone was so frightened that they immediately retreated in all directions. Only a few military generals couldn't help but hold their swords and watched the scene in the field vigilantly. Two of them had already stood in front of Ni intentionally or unintentionally. But the lady's side protected the eldest lady of the Tulip family with her body.
No one saw Mr. Qingqiu's movements, and they heard two muffled grunts, and the two men of Prince Balang who took action flew out one left and one right!
Mr. Qiu said coldly: "Your Highness, these two men beside you have already reached the level of fourth-level warriors and above! I'm afraid they are not ordinary officers. Do you have any plans to bring such masters into the palace?" "
Prince Balang looked pale, and the other two men immediately took out small staffs from their arms and chanted spells each.
Mr. Qiu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "He is a warlock. It seems that there are indeed many masters among His Highness' entourage!"
Two fireballs immediately hit him. The two warlocks also knew that such a simple fireball technique would probably not be able to stop Mr. Qiu, so they pulled Prince Balang and retreated outside the square. Marquis Caroline had been hiding aside for a long time, but he had some concerns in his heart, but he had already hid with several elders of the divine sect.
Mr. Qiu casually flicked away the two fireballs with his long sword, rushed out, and instantly stood in front of Prince Balang who was running out of the square!
Mr. Qiu's eyes showed murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Prince Balang, please stop resisting! I have a sword in my hand, no one can stop me!"
The long sword in his hand swept over lightly. Balang's two warlocks immediately deployed a defensive light curtain, but heard a crisp "ding" sound. As soon as the long sword touched the light curtain, He easily cut through the light curtain, and then the entire light curtain shattered and dispersed. The expressions of the two warlocks changed dramatically, and they spurted out a mouthful of blood at the same time!
Mr. Qiu's sword kept moving and slashed at Prince Balang's head! Prince Balang shouted, and a burst of fighting spirit immediately burst out from his body. He grabbed a long sword that he took from his subordinates, gritted his teeth and held it!
There was only a "clang" sound, and the long sword in Prince Balang's hand immediately broke into pieces. His body also fell heavily, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
Mr. Qiu took a breath, pointed the long sword in his hand at Prince Balang, and shot at him. Prince Balang rolled over in desperation, and the sword grazed his face and was inserted into the ground! Prince Balang's two warriors, who originally fell to both sides, had already gotten up, grabbed their swords from the ground, and at the same time channeled their fighting spirit, shouted in unison, and rushed towards Mr. Qiu.
Mr. Qiu sneered and used his hands instead of swords to block the opponent's sword with his bare hands! Only a few ping-ping-pong-pong sounds were heard, and the two warriors couldn't help but retreat. In the end, all the fighting spirit in the two men was shaken away by Mr. Qiu, and they fell to the ground exhausted.
Suddenly there was a strong wind behind them, and the two warlocks worked together to create a wall of flames, sweeping in powerful flames and quickly rolling towards Mr. Qiu! A cold light flashed in Mr. Qiu's eyes, and he slashed hard with one palm. A huge shining blade of light immediately burst out in front of him, and he slashed through the wall of fire that was sweeping in!
The light blade collided with the wall of fire, immediately making a loud noise and shattering at the same time! The radiating sparks and energy scared the people hiding around and sent them running in all directions. Countless soldiers had already rushed forward! It's just that they are all soldiers of the Royal Guards. Without the Queen's order, they all stood around and surrounded them tightly with the shields in their hands!
Prince Balang shouted loudly: "Queen! Without His Majesty's order, do you dare to order my death privately?! If you kill a member of the royal family privately, even if you are the queen, it is a capital crime!!"
Mr. Qiu's cold laughter rang in his ears: "Your Highness, you don't have to shout. It is not the queen's order for me to kill you! I am only a palace warrior and I just want to take you down. You were killed by me when you resisted. Queen Your Majesty is not responsible for anything! Even if there is any responsibility, I am the only one to bear it!”
A dazzling light flashed, and Prince Balang could almost feel the chill that penetrated his bones. His whole body was stiff, and he could no longer move his body. In despair, he closed his eyes and waited for death...
