Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 400 Chaos in Xiongdu, King Assassinated

In the crowded eastern city of Xiongdu, because the dark magic that covered the sky and the sun swept across the entire Xiongdu, they woke up like a dream. Some magics cannot be suppressed by the magic stone!

For a moment, the people of Xiongdu panicked.

Some of them hid at home and did not dare to go out, but most of them rushed to pack up and run away, leaving before the powerful enemy hit Xiongdu.

Although the Light Shield Royal Family acted very quickly, they immediately sent soldiers to maintain order, and told them not to worry, the city was the safest.

But after all, the overall environment of Demacia is only at the level of the Middle Ages. Even in Xiongdu, there are still a small number of educated people. The vast majority of citizens have almost zero ability to distinguish external information.

They heard the news from nowhere, and learned that it was her sister who was confronting Morgana, and the grievances between the sisters of the flying wing protectors, and that they destroyed a city-state hundreds of years ago because of battles, There were countless casualties.

In this way, the fear of the people is even greater.

If the land enclosed by the city wall of Xiongdu is their safe haven, then for them now, it is like a cage "waiting to die", and they don't want to stay here any longer.

Therefore, a considerable number of people did not listen to the dissuasion of the soldiers at all, and insisted on going out of the city to seek refuge, and they crowded the closed city gates in the east and northeast.

However, the captain of the guard guarding the city had already received the king's order to close the city gates and not allow citizens to go out, and soon had conflicts with those below who wanted to leave the city.

"Why don't you let us go out of town?"

"Do you want us to stay here and die?"

"We can't stay here, the magic stone in Xiongdu can't restrain this magic at all!"

"That's the gods, do you understand the gods? How can we stop the gods?"

"The legend that the flying wing protectors care about the people is false! They only have an extreme desire to control us!"

"..."

People cursed more and more fiercely, and the anger in their hearts became more extreme because of fear. They kept pushing and shoving the guards guarding the city gate, and some even threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at them.

The guards were also very aggrieved. Their duty was to protect the home and the people, but now the person they wanted to protect actually spoke harsh words to them and even threw objects at them.

Some soldiers with a more irritable temper could no longer bear their temper. Regardless of the persuasion of their teammates around them, they quarreled with some emotional people.

But doing so is tantamount to continuing to escalate the grim situation.

At this time, the king who was still at the southern city gate quickly learned of the turmoil in Xiongdu, and looked sadly at the extremely quiet distance again.

"Your Majesty, the stability of Xiongdu is the most important thing." Tiana suggested with a stern expression.

Immediately afterwards, Barrett also hurriedly said: "The generalissimo is right, you must first secure the inside, even if you care about Li Lin and the protector Morgana, we can't intervene in the battle between them, we can only Pray for them.

"Now the capital is in turmoil, and rumors are spreading among the citizens. We must first do what is in front of us."

The nobles also chattered, basically admonishing the king to let him deal with the turmoil in the city first, the people are the first, and other plans will be made later.

"Father!" Jarvan IV clenched the Dragon Spear in his hand and volunteered, "Let me lead the personal guards to check the situation!"

Jarvan III was silent for a while, raised his right hand, and made a "stop" gesture, and the chattering nobles suddenly fell silent.

"Tiana, follow me to lead two vanguard companies to the DC area, and send another 8 vanguard companies, and those who have not assigned tasks and are still in the city to scatter to check the situation in the city, and try to treat our Demacia citizens in a gentle way.

"Barrett and my son lead the guards and the two vanguard companies are still roaming in Xiongdu. They are ready to support and help those in need as much as possible. As for the rest of you..."

Jarvan III looked around at the gathered nobles, "If it's okay, everyone go back, try to appease the citizens in your respective territories, and don't be violent."

……

……

At the Shimmering Silver City Gate in the east, someone among the crowded and noisy crowd took the lead and injured a guard with a stone on the side of the road, causing blood to flow from his head.

With this beginning, the conflict between the military and the civilians completely intensified, and turned into a frontal conflict in an instant.

"Crazy, everyone is crazy! Do you know that you are violating the laws of Demacia?!" The guard captain at the east gate shouted, "Lie Dun!"

But before the soldiers could react, they rushed to disperse the formation that they were about to close in. Some of the strong men with red eyes bumped into the soldiers, punching and kicking them.

Thanks to the protection of the Demacia standard plate armor, those soldiers only need to protect their faces, and they will not suffer too much injury.

"You want us to stay here and die!"

"Hypocritical country, it's just terrible!"

"Let's rush together! They don't dare to attack us, they just need to rush out of the city gate!"

"Raise the shield, quickly raise the shield!"

"Damn it, stop these mobs!"

"Damn... why did you draw your sword?!"

In the conflict that was so fierce that it was almost abnormal, both soldiers and ordinary citizens were extremely excited, as if they were not facing their own countrymen, but the blood-feuding Noxus and the barbarians in the north who burned, killed and looted.

Soon, Jarvan III who came over after hearing the news was shocked when he saw this scene, and hurriedly asked Tiana to lead the fearless vanguard shield to separate the two sides.

"King Jarvan III is here, stop!" Tiana shouted, drawing out her sword.

However, everyone's eyes were red-eyed, and the shouts of the crowd and guards were like waves, drowning her anger in an instant.

In desperation, she had to let the shield formation of the Dauntless Vanguard clear the way, and disperse the conflicting crowd as much as possible.

"Xin Zhao, hurry up, you also go to help!" The king urgently issued an order.

"Your Majesty, my duty is to protect you." Xin Zhao said, "Now is the time of turmoil, I can't leave you half a step."

"This is protected by the pro-guards, you don't have to worry about me."

Jarvan III shook his hand, quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to find a high ground where everyone could see him, while talking.

Xin Zhao tightened his grip on the reins of his horse, frowning slightly, "Your Majesty..."

He didn't know the situation in other urban areas of Xiongdu, but judging from the current situation in the small area of ​​the Eastern Shining Silver City Gate, everyone's conflicts were too unusual, which made him very disturbed.

Combined with the news reported by the guards on the road, this turmoil is likely to be deliberately promoted by the black hands behind the scenes.

So Xin Zhao doesn't know if there is a mage involved in this, or if it will target the king.

Due to the influence of Morgana's residual magic, their mouths have always been filled with the taste of metal decay, and he has no way to distinguish it by this method.

According to his own judgment, these rioting citizens, including the guards, must have been affected by something, otherwise they would not dare to fight each other.

"With your strength, you will be able to separate them soon." Jarvan III said, "We must end this conflict as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will continue to deteriorate."

Xin Zhao shook his head, thinking of Li Lin's exhortation not long ago, "I can't leave your side now."

"This is not a request, sir." Jarvan III changed his address to Xin Zhao, "This is an order."

Deciding between protecting the king and disobeying his orders was a real dilemma for Xin Zhao.

But he also knew that Jarvan III had a very bad temper, as long as it was for the sake of the community and the people, he would always put his own safety aside.

Just like the defense of the country he had followed the king for more than ten years, Jarvan III would lead the troops to the front line every time, and every time it was dangerous.

Even Barrett, who was regarded as a good brother by the king, dissuaded him, but he couldn't change his mind...

Just as Xin Zhao was hesitating, Jarvan III was already under the protection of his personal guards, and drove his horse to a small platform built not far away for unknown reasons.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard Tiana in the crowd scolding the mob, and thought of the oath he had made to her.

In any case, his duty is to protect the king, and there is no room for mistakes.

Xin Zhao quickly rode his horse and gave chase.

But at this moment, Xin Zhao, who had a keen sense, suddenly felt the magic in his body agitated, and then heard a very small sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air, right next to the king, and was startled.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, Xin Zhao didn't care about other things, grabbed the barrel of the three-clawed spear with both hands, swung it in a half arc in front of him, and then poked forward suddenly.

Immediately, an almost transparent energy poured into the gun body from his palm, quickly spread to the blue gem at the core of the gun head, and then rushed out along the sharp silver gun tip.

Qi Jin passed through the gap behind the guards until it pierced the air around the king, bursting out a stream of blood out of thin air.

Because of Xin Zhao's attack, Jarvan III's BMW was frightened, raised its front hooves and let out a long cry, overturned the unsuspecting king and smashed it to the ground.

"what?!"

"There are assassins! Someone assassinate the king!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Mage, it's a mage!"

Noticing the blood on the ground beside the king, the guards were in a commotion, dismounting and drawing their swords one after another, alerting their surroundings.

Even the Fearless Pioneers, who were suppressing the crazy citizens in the distance, rushed out regardless of them.

But before them, Xin Zhao was the first to rush to the king, "Your Majesty!"
