Chapter 902

Lottel was the first to have an accident.

Because of the ancient wood forest incident, Reuven Friede, the heir of lottel and the Earl of Shenlin castle, had already been on guard before returning. Reuven, who was aware of it before he arrived, exchanged identity with the Knight Commander Aaron when he entered yingshou castle.

Sure enough, at midnight that day, Knight Aaron was assassinated!

No one noticed up and down the castle, and the guard Knight outside the door died quietly; The seriously injured and dying Knight Aaron fell into a coma. The only hanging rope was a name he kept whispering in his mouth.

puppet play.

Looking at the "broken shadow sword" in his hand, Lu Wen immediately understood that the spirit assassin seeking revenge was lying in ambush in yingshou castle.

His father, who kept his door closed all day, was seriously injured and dying. The answer was close at hand.

The other party's goal is himself... And even the whole Fred family!

After thinking over and over again, Lu Wen, who was forced to be calm, first released the news of his assassination, and then announced that his coronation ceremony would be held in advance. All invited guests are invited to arrive in advance.

There are two reasons - first, holding the coronation ceremony can let him take control of the Friede family and even the military power of lottel; At present, thousands of elite gathered outside the castle due to the emperor's order, which is a very strong defensive force;

Secondly, it is also a test; If the other party is really an elf assassin, then assassinating himself is not his first purpose, creating chaos is; Assassinating yourself in full view of the coronation ceremony is definitely 10000 times more effective than assassinating.

In short, this is a bait in the light, and tell the other party that it is still a trap.

Everything worked as he expected.

From the invitation to the coronation ceremony, nothing happened for a whole week, and Lu Wen's heart sank to the bottom - the other party was obviously ready to kill himself in full view of the public.

On the day of the coronation ceremony, he finally left the room and went to Archduke Fred in the sun. He died in front of all the guests on the spot; The original jubilant ceremony was in a mess!

Guests fleeing, nobles and knights fighting with swords, panic stricken ladies... It's out of control.

To Lu Wen's surprise, he prepared in advance to maintain the order at the scene, which didn't play any role at all - because among the guests from all over the world, there was a team of night watchmen!

In addition, there were demon hunters from Byrne, the "shield of defense" of the church and the spell caster group of eboden!

This group of guys who didn't even touch each other in the past gathered like "premeditated" this time. At the beginning of the unrest, they began to hang the "sudden" elf assassins together.

After the controlled living dead (puppets) were destroyed, the Elven assassins who were aware of the defeat were not as eager to fight as Bain's Elven warriors, but decided to run for their lives; The night watchman, who was worried that there was an ambush with his party, did not pursue and let the other party leave.

Just then, the news from Byrne finally reached Reuven Fred.

Dressed in a cloak soaked with his father's blood and holding an Azor long knife, Reuven Fred stood expressionless at the scene of the messy ceremony, shouted out the names of the traitors, and then executed by the oath Knights of the church.

In bursts of screams and cheers, he was officially crowned Lord of Fred, Duke of lottel.

But this is only the beginning... The massive killing because of the connection of the intelligence network is also destructive; Even with the endorsement of the heavenly palace and the Holy Cross Church, many brave loters still dare to rebel.

In the coming months, the long knives and bows in the hands of Reuven frieder must be stained with the blood of the cell clan.

"Premeditated?" Lauren looked at the description on the letter, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

"The night watchman should have ambushed in lottel when his majesty ordered lottel's army to assemble." Lucian nodded: "as for the caster group of the shield and wizard tower, it should be assembled by the order of the heavenly palace without knowledge... Just like our people."

Therefore, these people, together with lottel's elite mobile army, are the cards sufficient to "contain the invasion of ancient wood forest" in the eyes of his majesty Eckhart II. He himself is only one of the bait and options he released.

Well, why aren't you surprised at all?

With a sneer of self mockery, the black haired wizard continued to watch.

Because of the distance, Elman and Boye received the news about the elf assassin almost at the same time.

Similarly, there was no preparation time to detect the exposed elf assassin and chose to do it that night!

For Brandon de sallion and female Archduke Boye, the assassin lineup of Sally Jonah can be called "luxury" -- after engaging in it, the number of assassins is no less than 10, and all of them are "four court" warriors who wield Azor long knives and can use the "way of Samurai";

The soldiers are divided into three ways, feint in two ways to create opportunities, and sneak all the way to the Duke's castle.

The goal is also very clear... Raid Qianzhang City, kill the imperial Prince and female Archduke Boyi, and then create chaos as much as possible.

They succeeded in the second point, but unfortunately failed to do the first.

No matter the silver cavalry of Boyi or the "black wall" of the Empire, they have never encountered such a sensitive enemy who cuts gold and iron.

Although they were prepared, they didn't perform much better than Byrne's guard knights when they met the enemy for the first time.

The traitors in the city were captured in advance, but several checkpoints and secret doors were opened; All the defenders who guarded the narrow alleys, corridors and walls and mistakenly thought that the narrow terrain was not conducive to the play of assassins... All were destroyed.

Brandon, who did not trust his father and Ruth infinite, was not allowed to have such people around him except a few trusted night watchmen and demon hunters sent by Loren.

Boye, who has always been at odds with the Empire, is always on guard against the infiltration of night watchman and Tianqiong palace... Therefore, they have no "equal" combat power with ELF assassins.

Sarika and Brandon in the Duke's Castle almost watched one level fall after another, and their elite subordinates died one after another... The huge boydu Qianzhang city has become a place where each other can come and go freely!

The elf assassin who paid the price of two deaths and two injuries successfully attacked the Duke castle, the core of Qianzhang city.

But there was not even a person in the castle.

The elf assassins immediately realized that the Duke's castle was a bait and they were deceived.

But it's late!

Before they could retreat, the soaring dragon mirassis had lowered his anger, and the Duke's castle built on rocks was shrouded in fire; The gushing flames mixed with poison gas poured into every room from the doors and windows of the castle!

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."
