Chapter 902 (2/2)
Under the dragon fire, all beings are equal.
Since the construction of Qianzhang City, the Duke castle, which has stood for hundreds of years, collapsed in the sea of fire, together with the nearby walls and streets, and turned into scorched ruins.
The Elven assassin who failed to retreat in time, the loyal guard who was still fighting with the enemy, the dying Legion soldiers, and the servants who knew nothing about everything... The dead and the living disappeared into the sea of fire.
Countless deaths and injuries, the destruction of half the city, and the robe without bones... Finally let the elf assassins run away; There were only a few indistinguishable bodies left for Brandon and Sarika.
Sullivan immediately ordered the pursuit and even insisted on catching the assassins alive; When she was pressed by Brandon who did everything he could.
When she calmed down a little, she got another news.
The first elite Hussars sent out to hunt down assassins were ambushed on the border between East sakran and Boyi, and the whole army was destroyed.
The silent machete female Archduke finally stopped impulsive and called on the herdsmen of all Boyi to gather in Qianzhang city; As a result, the whole Boyi and even all horseback people in the great green sea entered a state of war preparation.
But this order also provoked chaos throughout Boye - after all, the unruly horseback people are well known; The destruction of the Duke's Castle dealt a heavy blow to salina Jonah, and even rumors of his death and Brandon's death spread all over the green sea.
Especially in the little Boyi territory, which originally complained about the Jonah family, there were four rebellions; In a short time, salina Jonah must focus all her energy on counter insurgency and maintaining stability, and she has no time to take into account external affairs.
The only lucky one is Brandon; Boye is too far away from the capital, so he doesn't have to worry as long as there is no definite news.
”Your Highness Brandon thinks that the assassination of Duke Byrne and himself may be a good opportunity.” Lucian said in a deep voice: ”on the one hand, you can test some wavering guys in the camp; on the other hand, you can also take the opportunity to hide in the dark and see what's happening on the other side of the crown prince.”
The dark haired wizard nodded and did not worry about the prince at all:
”So... What about your brother?”
Lord of El Mans, Lucian's half brother, Yuli vilz.
Hearing this, the grey pupil boy was shocked and twitched at the corners of his mouth.
”Ah... That guy,” whispered the awkward Lucian, with his face turned sideways and deliberately said in a careless tone:
”Still alive.”
Huh?
What's the answer?
”... still alive... Yes, that's what the letter said.” resisting the impulse to laugh, Loren said ”seriously”:
”But what I want to hear is the specific details, as well as the current situation of Archduke vilz - it is related to the diplomatic relations between Elman and Bain, and even the relationship with the heavenly palace.”
The dark haired wizard who accentuated his tone deliberately used the title ”Archduke vilz”.
Lucian's expression finally became serious.
”Elman was reminded by us, but the Elven assassins responded quickly, and the assassination was launched at midnight that day.” the grey pupil boy said in a deep voice:
”The general process is similar to the experience of his highness Brandon - although the swordsmen of El mans fight to the death, the elf warriors are the enemies they have never fought. They are not fully prepared, so they suffer heavy casualties.”
”At the first close combat, one fifth of the personal guards of the vilz family were killed. The inner castle and the court were broken through by assassins. Many people were already poisoned when they were unaware of it.”
”Nobles, civilians, maids, servants... It is said that the assassin's ability is related to 'blood', which can turn the sprayed blood into poison, arrows and blades.” the grey pupil's expression was gloomy and instinctively clenched his teeth:
”The other party is not an assassin at all, but a complete madman and murderer... Killing, destroying and creating chaos in the court like slaughtering livestock and hunting, spreading fear!”
”After he had nothing to do, Archduke vilz used himself as a bait to lead the madman to the deepest prayer room of the Cathedral of ellemans - there are all 'silent' runes, and their Samurai way will be severely suppressed like magic and can't exert their original power.”
”Yuli weltz, alone in the prayer room, met the assassin who came to kill him.”
”No reinforcements, because he will be found by the enemy; no weapons, because he gave his sword to... Me.”
With a low voice, the dark haired wizard could definitely feel Lucian's self reproach.
Lauren nodded slightly, ”did you... Catch it?”
”Let him run away.” the grey pupil boy shook his head, lowered his head and said softly: ”he lost one hand, but Duke vilz was also seriously injured and in a severe coma - his left eye was dug out by the pervert.”
The dark haired wizard sighed.
So... Is this game barely 50-50?
Byrne, lottel, Boye, Elman... Except that there was no news from eboden and Arles, almost all the principalities suffered heavy losses and failed to catch each other's whereabouts.
Eboden is hard to speculate, but it can be imagined that Arles, which is already chaotic and remote, will not be much better this time.
Five Archduke, one dead, one unconscious, one unknown, two injured
And this is not all the combat power of the other side!
”The information on the imperial capital is still unknown, but there seems to be some movement in the sky palace, which is difficult to judge.” the grey pupil continued: ”if you want to find out what happened, you have to wait and see the situation.”
”Are there many rumors?” Lauren raised his eyebrows.
”Many, from the death of his majesty Eckhardt II to the control of the Azores in the sky palace, and even all these are plots designed by the desalian family... Foreign enemy sneak attacks, aristocratic rebellion, Royal rebellion, all kinds of things.” Lucien frowned and shook his head:
”But basically there is no credible value. It's more like a deliberate cover up; well, it's similar to the idea of his highness Brandon.”
This is not surprising - like son, like father.
”So, master Dalton Kande still suggests you turn your attention to the clues we already have.” Lucian reminded: ”the elf warrior we caught is imprisoned at the bottom of the wizard Union, and all the information we can dig is almost dug, but... You don't mind trying.”
