Hearing this, everyone in the room was startled except for Tyson, who had already known about it.
"Did something happen in Kangbeida?" There was an ominous premonition in his heart. Zhang Yunfeng frowned and asked. It is naturally not a small thing to be able to change the world. Is it possible?
"It's a long story." Tyson glanced at his old friend who was sitting next to him with a dejected expression as if his soul had been taken away. He really wanted to answer, but was suddenly interrupted by Slater.
"Let me speak!" He waved his hands tiredly, and Slater forced himself to sit up straight. The effort made Zhang Yunfeng, Ai Qier and Anna sweat all over him.
After taking a few deep breaths and waiting for Slater to calm down the turbulent emotions in his heart, he slowly opened his mouth and told about the shocking incident that happened in Combeda half a month ago.
In mid-January of the year 3999 in the continental calendar, an unprecedented turmoil occurred in the Rockwell Empire, one of the three continental empires and the most powerful in terms of military power.
On that day, a group of mysterious assassins suddenly appeared in the imperial capital of Combeda, frantically assassinating all major officials in the imperial capital, including members of the royal family. Although the imperial city guards and the royal knights immediately took action after discovering the enemy's situation,
Respond, close the city gates, and mobilize an army to surround and suppress the assassins.
However, these assassins are all highly skilled, with the lowest level of strength being level seven or above, and there are even some saint-level and even god-level experts who cannot be resisted by ordinary soldiers.
In just one day, the imperial capital was filled with blood. More than 40% of Combeda officials were assassinated, and more than 100,000 soldiers were killed or injured. More than half of the most elite Royal Knights were killed or injured.
During this turmoil, the royal family suffered the heaviest casualties. Almost all the royal heirs were assassinated, and even Emperor Austin was seriously injured. He is still bedridden and unconscious. In the end, the Holy See of Light was stationed in Combeda.
Cardinal Iros led a group of experts from the Holy See to come to support and finally quelled the turmoil.
After a personal examination by Cardinal Iros, it was found that the blade where His Majesty Austin was stabbed was coated with poison. If the poison is not clear, he will not be able to wake up.
With His Majesty in such a coma, Combeda, which had just experienced huge changes, was suddenly leaderless, and all forces were ready to move. The entire Rockwell Empire was about to be hit by a storm, and the building was about to collapse.
At the critical moment, it was Bishop Iros who took action again, together with the right minister Ledwin and the Larry family behind him, to turn the tide. They used thunderous means to frighten all the forces in Combedane, and deposed the prince Sacra to the throne. This was the moment.
calmed down the storm.
"This thing is so weird!" After hearing about all the changes that happened in Kangbeida during this period, Zhang Yunfeng was sensitive to many doubts.
The Holy See of Light actually extended a helping hand to the Rockwell Empire when it was in its most difficult time. And it did so in a savior manner, which was completely unlike the usual style of the Holy See of Light. They had fought openly and secretly with the Holy See of Light for several times, and Zhang Yunfeng was not convinced by the behavior of the Holy See of Light.
The style is really clear.
Zhang Yunfeng believed it 100% that the Holy See of Light took the opportunity to add insult to injury and plunder faith. However, this time the Holy See of Light did not do so. Instead, it helped the royal family calm down the turmoil. The whole thing was weird.
This is one of them!
Secondly, almost all members of the royal family suffered a devastating blow, even Austin was stabbed and seriously injured, but His Highness the Crown Prince Sacra survived.
Logically speaking, assuming that the mysterious assassins were sent by an enemy country to weaken the top power of the Rockwell Empire, then as the prince, Sacra should be at the top of the assassination list.
Unless that group of assassins really killed him, they caught such a fish that slipped through the net.
But this assumption is obviously inconsistent with common sense. Nearly 40% of the top officials of the empire were assassinated in one day. The imperial capital is so big. If you want to achieve this level, you must first track the assassination target for a long period of time and figure out the target person.
Only with his own living habits could he carry out such an efficient assassination, including many royal heirs, which was obviously premeditated for a long time.
With such a meticulous plan, it is impossible to ignore such an important figure as Sacra.
Thirdly, many high-ranking officials in the imperial capital were suddenly assassinated and suffered heavy losses. Why did Ladywin, the right-hand prime minister, survive the assassination? The Larry family did not seem to have suffered much losses, otherwise it would not have been possible for them to suddenly emerge and turn the tide.
There seems to be some secret connection among all the above unreasonable things, but Zhang Yunfeng didn't think of it for a while.
"What is the current situation in Kangbeida? How did the Royal Martial Arts Academy and the Standing family suffer losses in that turmoil?" Zhang Yunfeng shook his head and put these things aside for the time being. Zhang Yunfeng immediately asked about other things. Kangbeida
Dali didn't have many friends with him, mainly in these two places. He wanted to know if anything happened to his friends during the turmoil.
Slater's depressed expression softened slightly: "The assassination was mainly aimed at the top officials of the empire. The Standing family is mainly engaged in business, so the impact was not too great. Except for a few clan members with high official positions who were killed, others like Hannibal
There's nothing wrong with that big fat man. As for the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts"
"As the cradle of talents for the empire, the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts provides a large amount of fresh blood to the empire every year, so it naturally receives the attention of those assassins." Having said this, Sterling regained some of his energy and smiled a little: "But
At the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts, this group of assassins suffered a huge counterattack. None of the invading assassins were spared, and all of them died. However, there were no deaths in the academy. Several students were accidentally injured by the battle while evading.
.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yunfeng was startled. The Standing family had little to do with it. As long as Hannibal, his father-in-law, was fine, he would not feel anything even if the entire Standing family was wiped out. After learning that Hannibal was fine, he also
Secretly he breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts was so powerful and actually killed all the invading assassins. The Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts seemed to only have Brutz at the God level, and he had just been promoted to the Divine level in the early days of the pseudo-god. The other two were Baroque and Donald.
A holy level.
This small amount of power seems to be not enough when facing a wave of mysterious assassins who have the ability to provoke the entire Rockwell Empire. But this time, the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts did not fall at a disadvantage. Instead, it killed all the enemies, and with the Royal Academy
The lineup on the Magic Martial Arts Academy card is completely inconsistent with common sense, unless
Slater seemed to see what Zhang Yunfeng was thinking. He smiled faintly: "The assassins broke into the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts, and immediately started fighting with Dean Brutz and other senior officials. The assassins dispatched two god-level experts.
The number of four saints is almost double that of the top experts of the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts. There are also more than 30 masters of level 7 and above. The talents of the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts are at a disadvantage in a fight."
"How did you kill the assassin later?" Zhang Yunfeng asked.
"At a critical moment, eight masters suddenly flew out from the depths of the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts. Three gods and five saints reversed the situation in one fell swoop and wiped out all the assassins who invaded the academy." Slater recounted with excitement. But thinking of Kang Bei now.
Facing the situation, the excitement on his face instantly faded.
After hearing this, Zhang Yunfeng, Milia and Anna both had a look of surprise on their faces at the same time. On the surface, Kangbeida only had a dozen saint-level masters, and none of the god-level experts. Although secretly,
There must be more than this number of top experts, but none of them expected that the Royal Demonic Martial Arts Academy actually had such a hidden power.
Three Gods and five Saints. Plus Brutz, Baroque and Donald. That's four Gods and six Saints. Such a powerful lineup. It completely surpassed that wave of assassins. No wonder they could kill all the assassins.
"I didn't know about the existence of this group of powerful people at first, but later I learned that these powerful people were all the previous deans of the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts." Slater said: "The previous deans of the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts were
, as long as they reach the god level, they will take the initiative to abdicate and live in seclusion. If this chaos hadn't happened, these old guys in seclusion would not have come forward."
"Even if there are such a group of strong men in the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts, how come the situation in Kangbeida has become so bad!" Zhang Yunfeng couldn't figure it out. Since there are so many hidden strongmen in the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts, there must be other aristocratic families, including
The royal family has a large number of hidden powers. Just like the enshrining courtyard that is loyal to the royal family, there are many god-level experts in it. This time the assassins are rampant, why don't they show up.
"I don't know what the specific situation is. I only know that the hidden forces of the royal family and other nobles are all blocked by an unknown person." Slater sighed deeply: "The situation in Combeda is very bad now.
, after Sacra came to power, with the support of the right prime minister and the Larry family, he quickly took control of all the forces in the empire."
"And the first thing he did after taking office was not to track down the assassins. Instead, he abolished the decrees of the previous emperors, established the Holy See of Light as the state religion, and placed all the nobles who had surrendered to him in various positions that held the power of the empire.
department, among which the Larry family is even more prosperous and has almost become the first family in the empire.
family, far away from the Standing family. Now that the empire is under the control of Sacra, those of us who were unwilling to surrender before have either been transferred away, or been accused of liaison with assassins and thrown into prison. I also
No exception, otherwise I might not have been able to escape if an old friend from the army had informed me in time."
There was endless silence in his voice, and Slater fell down on the back of the chair. He had served the Rockwell Empire for most of his life, but he never expected that everything would change once the emperor changed his position.
"Uncle Slater, you don't have to be sad. It's not worth being sad for someone like Sacra." Ai Qier comforted her.
"Yeah! You can tell that Sacra is not a good guy at a glance. Now he is involved with the Holy See of Light. He is obviously a nest of snakes and rats. I think Uncle Slater really did the right thing to leave Combeda. Otherwise, with that
That guy's little belly will definitely take revenge on you." Anna also helped, but listening to her words, it seemed that she was talking more than comforting.
"A nest of snakes and rats, that's right! Why didn't I think of that!"
An idea flashed in his mind, and Zhang Yunfeng was originally surprised that there must be some kind of connection between the Larry family, Sacra and the Holy See of Light.
Anna's words just now reminded him that snakes and rats are like a nest. If Sacra, the Larry family and the Holy See of Light are like a snake and a rat, then everything makes sense.
As the prince, Sacra must have some knowledge of the hidden forces of the royal family, including the Enshrinement Institute. Similarly, the large Larry family knows very well the situation of the noble families in Combeda. If they are also cooperating with the Holy See of Light
, they provide information, and it is not impossible for the Holy See of Light to dispatch experts to write, direct and stage such a shocking assassination.
Although there is no evidence to confirm this hypothesis, it is undeniable that the biggest beneficiaries of this assassination were Sacra who ascended to the throne of God, the Larry family who became the first family in the empire, and the Holy See of Light, which became the state religion.
Coupled with the abnormal behavior of the three in this turmoil, Zhang Yunfeng is 80% sure that this assassination was definitely carried out by the three gangs of them. To be continued...
