Chapter 1248 Army of Assassins; Shadow Council
imperial capital.
The long street leading to the palace gate was littered with corpses, including the corpses of the Thorn Flower Knights, palace warriors and ordinary people.
Almost all of them were casually killed by the Guanlan Sword Master when they hindered the Sith from assassinating the emperor.
This shows the fierce power of the saint.
However, as the saying goes, the current Sith is not as arrogant as before.His face was pale, his figure was shaky, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
He was afraid, afraid of death.
Because, just across from him, Anakin, the Sword Master of the Starry Sky, was approaching Sith step by step with the Sword of Stars in his hand.
Anakin's steps were very slow and difficult, as if he was swimming in a deep sea with great resistance, and his eyes were getting sharper and colder!
"Sith, you not only killed my mentor, but you also dared to steal my mentor's domain to stop me. Today, I will kill you!!"
Screaming again, Anakin resisted the Wuji Domain released by the Wuji Sword and took another step closer to the Sith!
In fact, every step he took to get close to Sith felt like a mountain of mighty weight was pressing on Anakin's body. With one step he took, what he crossed was not only the distance, but also the barrier of a world!
Finally, when Anakin was only three steps away from the Sith, the barrier representing the Promise Realm finally began to crumble, and invisible cracks began to spread continuously! !
Sensing the boundless domain that might be broken at any time, Sith's face became extremely ugly. Finally, he sighed softly, and then, suddenly, he slowly stretched out his right hand holding the sword.
I saw that the nails of his five skinny fingers holding the hilt of the sword had already fallen off, and the skin and flesh gradually peeled off, exposing the white bones, and then the bones gradually turned into fly ash...
Even Sith's figure became more and more transparent, as if the next moment, he would be blown away by the wind like a speck of dust.
This is the price you have to pay for forcibly controlling the power of the realm as a saint!
"Sith, I said, I will kill you!"
Anakin let out another murderous roar, and after taking another step, Sith finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was like gold paper, and even the Promise Domain almost collapsed. If he hadn't had the last bit of strength, he would have been crushed to death by Anakin just now!
"Anakin, do you think I'm the only assassin today?"
Seeing that he was about to die, Sith no longer ignored the plan he had discussed with "those people", suddenly summoned his fighting spirit, and shouted loudly: "Are you going to sit back and watch the success or failure without killing the emperor?"
As soon as this remark came out, the entire long street fell silent.
Whether it was the tens of thousands of people eating melons, the city guards and court warriors who guarded order, or the members of the Thorn Flower Knights who personally protected the emperor... they were all stunned.
Even Anakin himself, his eyes changed.They really... still have people!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became eerily silent, and the city guards and knights couldn't help but hold their swords tightly.
I don't know how long it took, among the melon-eating crowd, a bald and burly middle-aged man covered in gray robes' expression changed several times. Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore. He grabbed his gray robe and lifted it suddenly, revealing that he was wearing a gray robe. That shining armor!
"boom!!"
The bloody grudge burst out suddenly, and the people who were crowded around the bald middle-aged man were instantly blown away. With several screams, he saw a bloody giant ax in his hands!
"Odysseus, you killed hundreds of members of Lord Reinhard's family for no reason, and today I want you to pay with your blood!!"
This sudden burst of shouting shook the ears of all the people within a hundred meters around him, and stared at their eyes!
The next moment, taking advantage of the people around him being shocked by his "lion's roar skill", the bald giant stomped his feet, and instantly soared into the sky, spanned a distance of [-] meters, and landed directly in the long street. The ax slashed towards the knights of the Thornflower Knights! !
Caught off guard and under the great disparity in strength, only listening to the sound of several bone shattering, four or five Thorn Flower Knights were directly chopped into a puddle of flesh!
You know, every knight of Thorns and Flowers has at least the strength of a third-tier intermediate knight. However, even such a master who has cultivated a fighting spirit is still far from being able to resist the casual attack of the bald giant!
Obviously, this bald man is at least a master of the fifth-order knight level!
"Crimson fighting spirit? Are you a subordinate of the Crimson Legion Reinhardt?"
A well-informed knight recognized the grudge used by this bald giant, and immediately understood that this guy came from the Crimson Legion that was purged by His Majesty for participating in the assassination of the princess! !
"This is the crimson fighting spirit in the army. It is very good at killing in groups, forming formations, and protecting His Majesty!!"
Seeing a powerful enemy appearing, and the Star Sword Master being dragged away, a leader of the Thorn Flower Knights roared, and then dozens of knights around him drew out their swords and inspired fighting spirit. They attacked the giant bald man!
However, this giant bald man's blood-red vindictiveness was surging all over his body. The thorn flower knights who rushed towards him were slashed by his huge ax, and most of them were chopped down in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, among the crowd of onlookers who were fleeing in all directions, countless figures suddenly burst out. These figures looked like ordinary passers-by in attire, but they each pulled out their weapons, crossbows and magic scrolls from the dark, and rushed wildly. out!
In the blink of an eye, the city guards and court warriors scattered on both sides of the road were attacked and killed hundreds of people by the assassins! !
Everyone was stunned when this scene happened, even the emperor was no exception!
"There are many assassins, and Master Anakin is being entangled again. Your Majesty and Princess, hurry up!"
A palace warrior commander protecting the emperor roared and pulled over the fast horses left behind by the two knights. He planned to let the emperor and Princess Helen get on the horses quickly, and he, a knight-level warrior commander, would cover and escape.
This place is not far from the imperial palace, so if you hurry up, you will be able to return to the imperial city in less than a quarter of an hour!
No matter how many methods these assassins have, no matter how many people there are, it is absolutely impossible to attack the heavily guarded imperial city!
The idea of the warrior commander was right. However, he had just led the two horses, and the emperor hadn't got on yet. There was a sound of machine gun firing, and dozens of crossbow arrows were aimed at the emperor and princess. , and shot away with those two horses!
Seeing this scene, the samurai commander naturally could only pay attention to one side. He let go of the reins of the horse, galloped to the emperor, and shot down all the crossbow arrows that had been shot.
However, without his care, the two horses were shot to death!
And this is just the beginning.
In the next second, a larger-scale rain of arrows hit the sky and covered the sky, and many of them contained fighting spirits. There were hundreds of them, which shows how many assassins appeared today!
Facing this sudden arrow rain attack, the well-trained court warriors did not panic at all, quickly gathered around the emperor and Princess Helen, raised their wide shields, formed an airtight shield wall, and successfully blocked the attack. This wave of arrows.
However, seeing that the arrows were useless, the assassins were not stupid. In an instant, seven or eight people surrounded them from all directions. These seven or eight people were full of fighting spirit, no less than the bald man who took action first. They were obviously all fifth-level people. Great knight! !
Seven or eight great knights, placed anywhere, are enough to reverse a battle. With such a big investment, it can be seen that the people behind the scenes are determined to kill the emperor! !
As soon as these seven or eight great knights approached, the unparalleled fighting spirit and light slash smashed the shield wall into pieces. Dozens of the court warriors behind the shield were cut short by the fighting qi in an instant. The legs were bloody and bloody, and then the heads were beheaded by the attacking knights!
In an instant, the defense line formed by the court warriors was broken through, and only the dozen or so high-ranking knights closest to the emperor, under the leadership of the court warrior at the great knight level, delayed the enemy's actions.
In fact, if Little John, who was in the princess convoy, hadn't noticed something was wrong and came to reinforce him, blocking the three big knights with his tyrannical strength, I am afraid that these assassins would have killed the emperor himself!
"Father, run!"
Seeing such danger, Helen immediately pulled the emperor and fled towards Zhou Chen's carriage!
Although I don't know why Lord Chen didn't come out to save her, but Lord Chen didn't want to come over, so she just went over, as long as she got close to the carriage, no one could hurt her life!
At this time, in the carriage, Zhou Chen held down Mrs. Alice several times with one hand and wanted to go out to protect Helen, and said flatly, "Wait a little longer."
"Wait any longer and Helen is about to die! Lord Chen, even if you don't care about the life of His Majesty the Emperor, you must also care about Helen's life!"
Madam Alice flushed with anxiety, if she hadn't witnessed Zhou Chen's care for Helen along the way, she would have thought Zhou Chen was a traitor.
Hearing Mrs. Alice's words, Zhou Chen smiled lightly and said, "Wait a little longer, wait until all the little ghosts and gods jump out, and catch them all in one go, so that the emperor will not have to worry about it every day!"
"But……"
"It's nothing to worry about, Helen will be fine." Zhou Chen said firmly.
However, as soon as Zhou Chen spoke, he felt a powerful fluctuation of magic power appearing not far from Helen, and he felt that he had been slapped in the face.
And Mrs. Alice, who had broken through the holy rank, naturally felt it too.
"Alice, go and stop that magician!"
Zhou Chen said coldly.Looking at the powerful magic fluctuations of this assassin, I am afraid that he is also at the level of a holy magister!
"Okay, help me take care of Arya."
After hearing Zhou Chen's permission, Alice gave a decisive warning and then disappeared into the carriage into a gust of breeze!
Only Zhou Chen and little Arya, who was trembling from the shouts outside, were left behind.
But at this time, on the long street, the emperor stood in front of Helen, and used his body to resist a washbasin-sized necromancer ball.
Then... shit. Nothing happened.
"Jie Jie, I have long heard that the Holy Thorn Armor of the Chenxi Royal Family can withstand holy attacks. It is indeed well-deserved."
Opposite the emperor, a necromancer shrouded in black mist, with scarlet eyes greedily looking at the holy armor of thorns on the emperor, laughed fiercely.
Just now, he, who has been hiding in the crowd, saw the opportunity and sent the emperor and his daughter a high-level magic necromancer ball. He thought that the credit for killing the emperor would fall on him, but he didn't expect to be worn by the emperor. The artifact was blocked.
In fact, this Holy Armor of Thorns bounced the undead magic ball back, almost injuring his noble body.
However, as the saying goes, people are alive if things are dead, no matter how powerful that holy armor of thorns is, he still has a way to kill the emperor in front of him!
Jie Jie smiled, and the necromancer raised his magic wand, and immediately shot a dark green light that looked disgusting and disgusting at the emperor!
This is the puppet magic that has been extinct on the Ekadiva continent for thousands of years, and it is also the only magic that can penetrate the defense of the thorn armor and act on the human body!
Because this puppet magic is a kind of magic that manipulates other people's minds and actions, and it has no attack ability itself, so it can pass the judgment of the Holy Armor of Thorns.
And once the puppet magic hits the emperor, he can directly let the emperor take off the thorn armor, or order the emperor to commit suicide!
However, just as the puppet's light was about to hit the emperor, a wand inlaid with a huge magic gem suddenly blocked the path of the puppet's light, completely eliminating the dark green puppet's light.
Immediately, a graceful figure in a black dress slowly emerged.
"The majestic fourth member of the Shadow Council, the Dragon Slave Lord Antonidas, actually participated in the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor. It is really unbelievable!!"
"Jie Jie, it turns out that you are Miss Alice from the Silver Tower, you have broken through the realm of a holy magister, you are a holy magister who is less than 30 years old, and your teacher Karazhan will definitely be proud of you! "
Necromancer Antonidas smiled arrogantly, and the murderous intent in his body was reduced by [-]%.Although he was asked to intervene in the assassination, he did not say that he must kill the emperor.
After seeing Alice, the newly promoted holy wizard, Antonidas didn't plan to do anything anymore.It's not that he's afraid of a young girl. In fact, with his strength, he has the confidence to compete with even a strong player in the field, let alone a junior who has just stepped onto the threshold of the Holy Order.
What he didn't want to provoke was Alice's teacher, that Karazhan St. Marek who had been hiding in the silver tower for thousands of years!
Holding the person in front of him is also a great achievement. As for the matter of killing the emperor, let others consider it.
After all, there are still several big figures who did not appear...
At the same time, the northwest corner of the imperial capital.
Holy Temple.
The scale of this Holy Radiance Temple is second only to the headquarters of the Temple of Mount Hailar. It covers an area of more than one thousand acres, not to mention there are many ancillary buildings.
Of course, there are also many natural people. As the largest temple building in the Dawn Empire, there are more than [-] priests here.
There are [-] knights in the Knights Templar stationed here alone, and each knight has cultivated the existence of Holy Light Qi (similar to Dou Qi, dedicated to believers of the Lord of Dawn).
At this time, on the highest worship tower of the temple, the seraph Uriel, nicknamed the blood angel, who descended from the kingdom of the gods to the mortal world not long ago, was watching the great battle in the distance, smiling strangely.
