Chapter 51: The Bloody Night in the Imperial Capital (1)
When he saw the body of the empire's supreme ruler, the young Fernando XIII, lying in his arms, even though Chad had been in a high position for more than ten years, he was still stunned by the scene in front of him. In the Royal Banquet Hall
Chaos had begun to spread, and several magicians and a dozen royal guards stationed outside the banquet hall rushed in.
In addition to Victor being the only great magician in the empire, there are also two great magisters. Master Kalamayi, who is close to Luke, was seriously injured, so the person in charge of the security of the entire palace today is Master de Silva-Velasquez.
.
Grand Magister de Silva-Velasquez hurried to the scene. At first glance, he saw Chad sitting on the ground in despair, with the body of Fernando XIII still in his hands. The banquet hall was filled with chaos.
In the chaos, many nobles have already learned this shocking news. They don't know what to do. They just instinctively want to escape from here, but under the strict guard of the royal guards, everyone stays in place at a loss.
De Silva-Velasquez squatted down next to Chad, checked Fernando XIII's breathing with his hand, and shook his head. Fernando XIII had stopped breathing. Even if Archbishop Iber used "Big
"Prophecy" can't save him.
De Silva-Velasquez stood up, signaled the two royal guards around him to come up and remove the young emperor's body, and then lifted Chad up with force.
Chad's eyes went straight and he murmured to himself: "Your Majesty is dead, dead, dead in my hands, dead."
De Silva-Velasquez frowned, pulled Chad into a corner, and then slapped Chad hard. The pain made Chad come back to his senses. He rubbed his face and said with a bitter smile:
"De Silva, we are in big trouble now!"
De Silva-Velasquez's face was ashen. He quickly calculated and then said without mercy: "There are only two ways to go now."
Chad sighed and said, "My heart is already in a mess. Please give me some advice."
De Silva-Velasquez looked around, and when he saw no one around him, he lowered his voice and said in Chad's ear: "The first way is, of course, to slowly patrol the assassins, but the consequences are unpredictable, and His Majesty will die in your hands.
In my arms, no matter what, you can't get away from it."
Chad smiled bitterly and said, "The killer is Hannah."
"Hannah?"
"Hey, I can't figure it out, but Hannah doesn't know martial arts at all, how could she kill Fernando with one blow?"
"It can't be Hannah herself. She is just a low-level maid and is not qualified to enter here. Maybe it was the assassin who put on the makeup, but these are not important. No matter who the killer is, you and I will be finished. Your Majesty died in
In your arms, this so-called assassin
You can't explain clearly whether Na is your distant relative or you sent it in person. And I, hey, I am responsible for the security of the palace tonight. This is the first time a king of the empire has been assassinated in 200 years. I
I can’t run away either. I’m going to die anyway, so why not give it a try!”
Chad's eyes lit up and he said, "Strike? How to fight?"
"Forced into the palace!"
Chad was startled and said quickly: "Are you crazy?"
"I'm sober, Chad." De Silva-Velasquez's eyes showed a fierce light: "Anyway, once your Majesty dies, you will be the most powerful minister, and I will be responsible for the security of the palace, and luck is with us.
On the other hand, Karama, who was originally close to Luke,
I am seriously injured, and no one can be my enemy in terms of strength. And Luke has also been relieved of his duties by His Majesty. Now that you have the power, you can completely mobilize the troops of your close friends. All the elites in the military camp were taken north by Orlando, and there is no
People can stop us!"
"But"
"Kill everyone here, then make up a random story, and then control that woman Catherine."
"The throne, what should I do with the throne? The one who inherits the throne must have the blood of Fernando, otherwise, the Holy Knight will not agree."
"There are still a few nephews of His Majesty in Seawind City. It is not that there are no distant relatives of Fernando in this imperial capital. As long as we have everything under control, you can find an innocent child and you can control the power for another 20 years.
And this time there’s no Luke to hold you back!” c. View on mobile phone
"This is too risky!"
"Chad, don't hesitate any longer. News of His Majesty's death may be spread at any time. Once the situation is out of control, it will be all over. Bailey is my student, and the two of us are inseparable. Chad, become a king in one step,
Death in one step, there is no third way!"
Chad took a deep breath and weighed the pros and cons of the entire plan in a moment. De Silva-Velasquez was right, he had no way out, and Fernando XIII had no intention of attacking him at all.
If it weren't for his flattery, he might have gone home to retire like Luke.
When he thinks that after decades of hard work, he can't stand up to the words of Fernando XIII, and the latter is just lucky and has the blood of the royal family flowing in his body, what does he know? And why is he sitting on that high throne?
?
"Okay, let's give it a try this time!" There was no longer any timidity or cowardice in Chad's eyes. He had thrown all his pretense aside: "De Silva, you immediately mobilize all the power you can control and use all your strength.
Seal the news and I will immediately send someone here to mobilize manpower. The chamber of commerce under me can provide at least 2,000 people, and I also have many close associates in the imperial capital garrison. I will send people to quickly control all key points in the imperial capital."
"De Silva, when this is done, you will be the chief royal magician. What reward do you want?" Now that Chad had torn off the mask, he promised De Silva-Velasquez without hesitation.
"Hehe, then leave Catherine to me." De Silva-Velasquez showed an ambiguous smile on his face. After he laughed a few times, knowing that time was running out, he immediately turned around and started to mobilize people, and Chad
He also took out his own mark from his body and began to mobilize outside personnel.
Catherine was sitting in the bedroom, with her feet up on a low couch, leisurely flipping through the books she had brought over. Catherine was not worried at all about whether the entire plan tonight could be completed, because the person who executed the first half of the plan was
The most powerful killer in the dark world.
An excellent assassin has the ability to swim in the shadows, lurking until the target is most vulnerable, then suddenly attacks like a cobra, leaving only a cold corpse. However, when such an excellent assassin has undergone arduous training and experienced
After the severe test, when he understood the essence of power and control skills, he left the ranks of mortals, stepped into the realm of gods, and became a legendary figure.
All professions can reach the realm of legend. These strong men who have reached the realm of legend are respected as legends. When they become legends, they naturally have a unique understanding of power, so every legend has
You can master many legendary abilities, and with the accumulation of time, you will slowly approach the strength of gods.
One million shiny gold coins, in exchange for a shadow dancer who has reached the legendary realm, is really a good deal. The shadow dancer who only appears in legends is one of the most powerful kings in the dark world.
First, he is a killer who walks in darkness and shadow, and assassination has become an art in his hands.
Shadow Dancers can see in the dark, and their bodies can react before they realize the danger, and their assassinations are fleeting. No one has seen the true face of the Shadow Dancers, even dead people.
Because the Shadow Dancer is best at dressing up and hiding, it can almost blend into the darkness surrounding him and make it indistinguishable. Some even say that the Shadow Dancer is just a human-shaped shadow.
But even for a legendary figure, it is quite difficult to enter the core of the palace without disturbing the tight defense, those dedicated guards, powerful magicians and the large number of magic arrays they control. After all,
The Shadow Dancer's target is the supreme ruler of this vast empire.
Therefore, Catherine used time and space teleportation magic to enable Shadow Dancer to avoid the heavy defenses outside the palace, giving him the opportunity to assassinate tonight's target. What Catherine has to do now is to keep Christina awake at all times and stay with her all night
Together, she can wash away the suspicion on herself. Although almost no one will doubt her, there is always nothing wrong with being careful.
At this moment, Catherine suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps in the distance. She nodded secretly. It seemed that the first half of the plan was successful. Next, it was time to see her and Christina's performance. And Christie, who was sitting next to Catherine,
Nashua stood up in an instant. She held the guard of the long sword with her hand and listened carefully to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer.
"Who is it? You are too presumptuous. Don't you know that His Majesty the Emperor's palace is not allowed to break in at will?"
"According to the order of Lord Chad, the Minister of State for the Empire, the 13th Squadron of the Norn Legion has taken over the defense of the palace. Please get out of the way!"
"Bastard!" a female knight guarding the outside scolded loudly: "When did Chad have this right? Do you want to rebel? Hurry up."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of weapons being handed over from outside, and action had already begun.
Christina was shocked. She quickly said to Catherine: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent. Please let me protect you and leave immediately."
Catherine closed the book in her hand, smiled charmingly, and said, "I don't have the habit of leaving others and running for my life."
"But, you are a queen"
"But I also have the identity of a magician!" Catherine interrupted Christina: "Nana, fight with me!"
After saying that, Catherine had stood up. She recited the spell silently, and a slender flame circled her right arm. When the magic was completed, a long whip completely made of magical flames appeared in Catherine's hand. Catherine
He smiled at Christina and said
: "Don't think that all magicians are weaklings." Before she finished speaking, Catherine's body was enveloped in a layer of burning flames, and then covered with a thick layer of stone skin. Finally, Catherine
Eight identical mirror images appeared around him.
"Come on, my knight!" Catherine's wrist danced slightly, and nine flaming whips with different trajectories formed a fire net in the air. The sound of the burning magic flames and the loud sound of the flaming whip piercing the air filled the palace.
Christina pulled out the sword without hesitation and drew a beautiful sword flower in the air. After doing this, Christina put one hand on her chest and held the sword upside down on the ground with the other. At the same time, she knelt half in front of Catherine.
, said loudly and with a serious expression: "I will serve you to the death, Your Majesty the Queen!"
