Two figures appeared on the magic array at the next moment. Then, the light of the array gradually stopped, and the sunlight outside the window outlined the outlines of the two people in the room.
Catalina opened her eyes and looked.
I saw that the surrounding area was no longer the scene of the coronation ceremony just now.
The person in front of me seemed to have also changed out of his priestly robes.
Under the complicated priestly robes, Xu Shuo was also wearing a simple knight's outfit that was convenient for movement, so the preparations he made were naturally for the action at this moment.
"Where is this?"
Catalina looked around.
After surveying the environment, she turned around and saw the young man taking out a hairband and standing up his long silver hair.
When Catalina saw this, she complained: "It's better to just cut it off."
Xu Shuo glanced at her.
Do you think he hasn't tried it?
But the Pope of Light was covered in precious magic materials, and he felt it was a pity to have even one hair missing.
After tying up his hair, Xu Shuo walked to the window and carefully looked at the situation on the street.
The streets were really chaotic.
An imperial army wearing black armor galloped towards them from a street not far away. Xu Shuo turned slightly sideways, hiding his body and continued to look. He saw the army rushing towards the location of the Royal Capital Church.
Xu Shuo raised his hand and took out a compass from the void magic array. He brushed his palm over the compass, and a magic pattern flashed across it.
Soon.
The compass flashed a magic pattern again.
Then, the sounds of fighting were heard from the Royal Capital Church.
Only half an hour.
The previously bustling, harmonious and peaceful royal capital was inexplicably in the middle of a war. Unexpected changes were happening in countless corners. Not only the ordinary people in the royal capital didn't know what was happening, but even the nobles were confused.
Never reacted.
Noises resounded everywhere in the city, the ground shook, and people's exclamations and screams resounded everywhere.
The war came unexpectedly.
But players who know about the war will not go out of their way to evacuate these people, and Wald XVIII will not use this to expose his plans.
Xu Shuo withdrew his gaze from looking at the street.
Catalina was still standing nearby with a confused look on her face.
"Can you explain it to me?"
Catalina said: "Why are we here all of a sudden? Don't you care about the Gate of Pallas? So and so's legion has arrived in the capital?"
Xu Shuo shook his head: "The Silver Shield Legion will not be able to take action until at least tonight. Walder XVIII has arranged the coronation time too tightly. Even if they have arrived near the royal capital, they still need to repair before they can fight."
No matter how fierce the elite soldiers are, they still need to repair themselves before they can regain their momentum after traveling for several days.
Catalina nodded: "Oh, what about the first two questions?"
Xu Shuo looked at her: "What's the problem?"
Catalina immediately frowned angrily.
She pursed her lips, and then changed the question: "Where is Walder XVIII? Isn't he your target?"
"Why do you think I left there?"
Xu Shuo smiled.
He has been paying attention to the movements of Walder XVIII.
During the coronation, half of the attention was focused on the surroundings and half on General Royce, the leader of the escort.
But when Prince Golan broke into the coronation ceremony with the intention of seizing power.
The general who led the resistance was not General Royce. The latter acted more like an ordinary sergeant at the time, just wearing the armor of a general.
There are people from the Holy See in Prince Golan's team.
Xu Shuo suddenly felt something was wrong.
Walder XVIII is not here.
Not pretending to be General Royce.
But he really isn't here.
But even so.
The other party must also be watching or even controlling the coronation ceremony in the dark, but they don't know where they are hiding yet.
So far in the script, the only person Xu Shuo couldn't understand was the thoughts of Wald XVIII, so he couldn't predict where he would go at this moment.
But no matter what, his actions must continue.
Xu Shuo walked to the window at the other end of the room and looked outside first.
This house is located on the second floor. It is also a secret intelligence point of the Holy See of Light, but it is a private residence.
"Where are you going?"
Catalina quickly came over.
"Do more and shut up more."
After Xu Shuo finished speaking, he leaned out of the window and fell into the alley below.
An angry Catalina followed.
Seeing that the young man had stepped directly towards the street, there was a panicked and chaotic crowd outside, as well as imperial troops passing by from time to time.
Catalina wouldn't shut up: "If you want to go somewhere, why don't you just drive the magic circle there."
Then she received a meaningful look from Xu Shuo.
It's like watching some kind of mindless monster.
at this time.
Suddenly there was a violent shaking on the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It sounded like an exciting war drum.
But it was obviously not a drum sound. The stones on the ground trembled slightly. The thumping sound got closer and closer, and the people fleeing in panic on the street suddenly let out different screams.
"what is that?!"
"Light?!"
"Get out of the way!"
What came out of the galloping horse was a strong light, like a rainbow, coming from the end of the street, so dazzling that it seemed like it was competing with the sun in the sky.
People on the street panicked and moved to both sides to get out of the way.
At this time, Xu Shuo grabbed the unaware Catalina and jumped out. When the arrogant golden light approached in front of him, it accurately landed on a fine war horse.
Catalina exclaimed.
It wasn't until her body was placed on another war horse that she realized and quickly grabbed the reins.
Zuo Fang, headed by Yang Yang, turned to look at her: "Oh, the elf is still alive."
Catalina gritted her teeth: "Be respectful!"
Zuo Fang curled his lips. This little girl obviously had two different attitudes towards Xu Shuo and towards him. She was holding on tightly when she was picked up just now. It looked like she was up to no good.
The Sun Knights arrived near the royal capital at dawn.
After a lot of repairs.
After receiving Xu Shuo's signal, they set up an invincible light formation, and the Sun Knights marched straight into the royal capital. They were so unstoppable along the way that they broke down the city gates!
"The Holy See Army in the other village was surrounded by the Imperial Army, but I didn't go to help. I took a look when I passed by."
Zuo Fang turned to Xu Shuo again and said.
Xu Shuo responded lightly, then added: "They will retreat on their own. Today is not the time for a desperate fight."
The larger Holy See Army has been walking in hiding on the mountainous route.
Still dormant in the distance without showing up.
Zuo Fang said: "If you don't want to fight, others may not want to fight. I heard that there was a riot in the capital last night?"
"An appetizer."
"Where's the king?"
"have no idea."
"Oh...you don't know??"
Zuo Fang suddenly had a question mark.
The imperial power that has stood for thousands of years cannot be overthrown overnight.
So the measures taken by the Holy See of Light during this trip.
The plan is to directly kill the royal family of Saint-Varro to suppress all opposition voices, without fear of historical evaluation or the complaints of the people, to overthrow the imperial power in the simplest and fastest way!
For the Holy See of Light.
Maybe this is not the best way to seize power.
But for players.
This is the most appropriate way.
The first thing the Knights of the Sun did when they entered the capital was to go straight to Fort Tantino and remove the dog's head from the neck of King Walder XVIII!
The horses that had received the blessing of light pedaled down the avenue, and the Knights of the Sun rushed towards the direction of Fort Tantino, passing by the melee at the Gate of Pallas, but they did not look away at the chaos over there.
When a team rushed to resist, the extremely powerful aura of light scattered them away, and they did not intend to stop and challenge.
The knights just waved their heavy swords, swung away the enemies in front of them, and then continued to move forward.
The magnificent gates of Fort Tantino are right in front of you.
"Ten minutes are over."
Xu Shuo said to them.
The Knights of the Sun responded silently, and the light power they radiated was slightly restrained. They broke into a small team of five and rushed into Fort Tantino, killing everyone they encountered along the way without mercy.
They believe in light and justice.
But he also believed in the Pope of Light foolishly and loyally.
Zuo Fang frowned and said: "It's strange. There are imperial troops everywhere in the capital, but why is there no defense at Fort Tantino?"
Xu Shuo said lightly: "Wald XVIII is not a fool. He knows that the target of the Holy See of Light will definitely be him, just like the target of the empire will be me."
Zuo Fang looked at him again after hearing this: "So how did you run out without anyone chasing you?"
Xu Shuo smiled: "Maybe it's because I don't look like the Pope of Light."
Zuo Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, he didn't believe it.
While they were talking, the three people had already entered the meeting hall of Fort Tantino, but there was no one here.
Entering the king's palace again, there were only a few servants here hurriedly grabbing gold, silver and jewelry. It seemed that after discovering the chaos in the palace, they tried to fish in troubled waters to grab some things before escaping.
Seeing these passers-by, Zuo Fang looked coldly and dealt with them one by one without mercy.
Catalina sneered from the side: "Human war is cold and ruthless."
Zuo Fang raised his sword and waved it in front of her: "Don't think that you elves are not ruthless. I heard that you will drive monsters to eat people. I heard that if you find a traitor, you will kill people's bodies and souls and sacrifice them to trees."
Catalina snorted.
"This bitch's sense of superiority is sick." Zuo Fang complained to Xu Shuo.
"Just don't treat her like a human being," said Xu Shuo, who was carefully looking at the palace.
"That's it!" Zuo Fang suddenly realized.
"I'm not a human being." Catalina frowned at the side.
"..." Zuo Fang tutted and shook his head at her.
At this time, Xu Shuo, who was looking at the palace intently, discovered an anomaly. He quickly walked over and reached out to touch the dark gray wall.
Zuo Fang saw this and was about to ask.
As a result, Xu Shuo punched him directly.
Boom!
The wall shattered.
The dark passage behind was revealed.
Zuo Fang swallowed back the words "Is there a problem?" and asked instead: "Where is the secret passage leading to?"
Xu Shuo released some mental power to investigate, but the Holy Spirit's mental power control was far less skillful than Alpha's. He could only vaguely feel that this secret passage was very deep.
After all, everything in sight was pitch black.
"I don't know, just leave a mark."
Xu Shuo had no intention of going in to investigate in person, so he just drew a magic pattern on the door and then hid it in the wall.
Then they walked out of the palace and went to explore other parts of Fort Tantino.
The entire Castle of Tantino is extremely huge.
Even if they rode on horseback, it only took them ten minutes to complete the exploration of Fort Tantino, confirming that King Walder XVIII was really not in Fort Tantino, and that three more secret passages were discovered.
Xu Shuo did not let anyone from the Sun Knights go in to explore these secret passages, but they all left a mark.
Hasty exploration will only lead to loss of troops and generals.
It would be even worse if you encounter a trap while exploring on your own.
If it is confirmed that Walder XVIII is here.
This trip of the Sun Knights was to directly cooperate with him to kill Walder XVIII.
But since the other party is not here.
It's better to leave it temporarily.
Ten minutes later, the Knights of the Sun regrouped at the east gate of Fort Tantino.
There are countless palaces around Fort Tantino.
Those palaces, together with the king's palace, are officially called Tantino Castle, but more people actually call them "royal palaces".
This is where the royal bloodline of San Varro lives.
However, Xu Shuo did not let the Sun Knights rush in and wash the blood, but said: "You go to the Gate of Pallas now."
Never go again.
The Holy See's losses were a bit heavy.
So the two knights still need to be saved.
However, Xu Shuo also did not join them, but separated halfway and took Catalina to the royal palace.
…
As a bloodline of the royal family of San Varro.
Even though Princess Hershey is married, she is still a member of the royal family, and she still has a place in the royal palace in Fort Tantino.
Because the new king was crowned, Mrs. Hirsch lived in the palace during this period.
When something unexpected happened at the Gate of Pallas.
Mrs. Hirsch was immediately sent back to the royal palace by the escort around her. She thought it would be safe here, but she never thought that within half a quarter of an hour, the entire royal capital was in chaos.
She was so panicked that she immediately ordered the guards around her to look for her biological brother, who was King Wald XVIII.
However, the guard left and has not returned with any news.
Once a power-seeking rebellion occurs, the current king will inevitably be involved, and the safety of Wald XVIII is undoubtedly the most important.
Mrs. Hirsch had a strong relationship with her brother.
She also asked her brother why he summoned the Pope of Light to the royal capital, but his brother never explained these things to her.
But she knew very well that her brother was probably planning to attack the Holy See of Light. She had advised him against this dangerous move, but his attitude became more and more strange and unclear.
Mrs. Hirsch felt strange, but her current status made it inconvenient for her to inquire further.
Now chaos reigns.
I don't know what the situation is like outside.
Mrs. Hirsch was pacing anxiously in the palace. Suddenly, there were several unusual noises outside, and then the guard standing at the door of her palace suddenly fell down.
Mrs. Hirsch's heart skipped a beat.
She quickly retreated to the room and took out an exquisite dagger inlaid with diamonds and jade from under the pillow.
Then she nervously hid behind the curtain.
At this time, a cool and pleasant voice came from outside the palace.
"Be good, shout."
"Don't shout."
"It doesn't matter."
The voice seemed to smile.
When she heard the childish "Don't shout", Mrs. Hirsch, who was hiding behind the curtain in the room, stiffened. She grabbed the dagger and quickly walked out from behind the curtain, looking over anxiously.
At this time, in the palace, stood a man wearing a platinum knight's uniform, and in his hand was a six or seven-year-old boy in gorgeous clothes.
The little boy was pulled by the collar of his clothes, his limbs fluttering in the air, and his face was full of stubbornness.
"Geraint!"
Mrs. Hirsch exclaimed.
Then she immediately raised the dagger in her hand towards the man, gritted her teeth and shouted: "Your target should only be me, let go of Geraint, he is still just a child!"
Xu Shuo heard the sound and looked over.
Then he let go of his hand.
The little boy fell to the ground with a plop, then he got up and ran quickly to Mrs. Hirsch, hiding behind Mrs. Hirsch and hugging her calf.
Mrs. Hershey looked at him, and then quickly raised the dagger and looked at Xu Shuo nervously.
"I think Mrs. Hirsch is a smart person."
Xu Shuo walked over.
Mrs. Hershey's hand holding the dagger trembled: "Don't come over, what do you want?"
Xu Shuo smiled and walked to her, pinched the blade of the dagger she was not holding firmly with his two fingers, then gently pulled it out and threw it to the floor aside.
jingle.
There was a sound, and Mrs. Hirsch, who was extremely nervous, also trembled.
"What on earth do you want..." Mrs. Hirsch said tremblingly.
"Do you know where Walder XVIII is?" Xu Shuo said and looked down.
The little boy who was about to secretly pick up the dagger quickly retracted his hand and continued to hide behind Mrs. Hirsch.
"I don't know." Mrs. Hirsch looked stiff.
"Lying is not a good habit."
"Geraint is here, I dare not lie."
"You are indeed very smart."
Xu Shuo smiled and took out the little boy from behind Mrs. Hirsch.
The other man screamed and struggled. Mrs. Hershey panicked and subconsciously wanted to snatch it back, but she was afraid of angering the man, so she had to hold back with her hands.
Xu Shuo shook the little boy and asked: "So, where do you think Wald XVIII is most likely to go after leaving you to escape alone?"
Mrs. Hirsch gritted her teeth: "The governor of Fal City is Duke Russo's father. Their grandfather was once the general of the Imperial Army's Golden Laurel Corps. During this time, he and Duke Russo were closest."
Duke Russo, Royce Russo.
This family has been marching for generations.
It can be regarded as coming from the same family as the Baiyin family.
Xu Shuo already knew this, so he let go and dropped the little boy again. Mrs. Hirsch quickly hugged him this time, protecting him in her arms.
"If you want to know more about His Majesty's whereabouts, then I don't know. After all, I have been abandoned here by him, right?" Mrs. Hershey said in a low voice.
"You are right."
Xu Shuo smiled and said: "But there is another thing that you can help with."
Mrs. Hershey looked up warily and puzzled.
Then, I saw the emissary of the Heretic Tribunal wearing a nun's uniform walking out of the side of the palace.
Mrs. Hershey didn't know what the other party was going to do, but after realizing that the other party was from the Heretic Tribunal, she subconsciously became frightened and hugged the little boy in her arms tightly.
Catalina looked at the two people on the ground with a calm expression.
Then Xu Shuo pointed to the person and said to her: "The ready-made person is here. You're welcome. Come and try it."
Catalina: "..."
He said it as if he was telling her to eat people quickly.
Didn't you see that both of them were trembling with fear?
