Riding and Slashing

Chapter 310 The King Killer

The guards of the House of Nobles are actually young masters of noble origin. If an enemy assassinates the king, they may protect them desperately and fight for a chance for the family to prosper and shine.

But they really don't want to get involved in this kind of royal murder - the matter between the king, the princess, and the princess... who knows what the result will be if they get mixed up?
So they disarmed honestly and waited for the results outside the House of Nobles.

No one was running around, or leaving, or even talking.

Maybe there were indeed followers of the Three Prophets among them, but none of them showed any suspiciousness - Li Ang stared at them coldly, no one wanted to be suspected of being an accomplice to the murder or had ulterior motives.

The girl rangers stared at the fence, the House of Nobles had been sealed tightly, but Li Ang was still not in a hurry to enter the tower.

He is delivering orders.

The first order was to close Sarleon City.

Order the garrison to return to the garrison, and not to leave the barracks without an order.

The garrison had no intention of objecting. After all, the guards of the House of Nobles had all disarmed. Naturally, these mob-like garrisons would not make a sound.

At the same time, Li Ang asked the Noldo rangers to separate and close all the side gates of Sarleon City, leaving only the main city gate already under the control of the guards.

There are five gates to enter and exit Sarleo City, but only the main gate in the north is opened daily.

Because identity checks are required to enter and leave the royal city, usually only one main city gate is opened to save manpower. Of course, the most important thing is that it is convenient to collect city gate taxes.

Several other city gates have their own purposes, namely the entrance to the military depot dedicated to the troops, the south water gate connecting the Sava River wharf, and the two side gates on the east and west sides for the delivery of large quantities of materials.

The entrance of the military station is generally closed for a long time, because entering from the entrance is the passage inside the city wall, directly leading to the barracks, which belongs to the control area.

The South Water Gate will not be opened when there are no noble ships docking. It is a special entrance for nobles that can directly reach the palace. This water gate will only be opened unless there are mission executors with royal orders or envoys from other countries visiting by water.

This is also a waterway fast channel for members of the royal family to evacuate Sarleon directly from the palace fort when necessary.

The east and west side gates are also called "Dawn and Twilight Gates", because under normal circumstances, a large number of vehicles transporting vegetables, fruits, food and other supplies enter the city at dusk, and there are many vehicles transporting waste out of the city in the morning, so they are opened in the morning and evening. Once, it can be regarded as a green channel to maintain daily life in Sarleon City.

But it was noon at this time, and none of these doors were opened.

And what Li Ang had to do was to make these city gates impossible to open in a short period of time—he asked the Noldor rangers to destroy the winches that opened these gates separately.

If the winch is destroyed, the heavy gate usually cannot be opened.

The guards brought by Li Ang were not many, only more than two hundred Noldor, and half of them had to be assigned to control the tower of the House of Nobles. If there were no more people to manage the other city gates, they simply destroyed the winch and let those gates directly It's over.

After destroying the other gates, the Noldor Guard took control of the main gate, which is equivalent to controlling the entire city of Sarleon.

However, Li Ang's control of Sarleon City at this time is not actually to block people from outside, but to block people who want to go out from Sarleon City - or at least to delay their time to go out.

Many nobles lived in Sarleon City, and every family had attendants or guards.

At the same time, there are Lion Knights stationed in Sarleon City, and there should be a small number of Lion Knights staying behind; there are also some king's personal guards in the palace.

But these people still don't know what happened in the House of Nobles, and they haven't reacted yet.

Therefore, Li Ang wanted them to be completely unable to react, and they would not even be able to release news in a short period of time.

Not long after, one after another Noldor ranger received Li Ang's order, and hurriedly sent messages to various places.

In this way, the guards controlling the main gate of the city also made it very clear-anyway, humans are not allowed to leave Sarleon City, only Noldor is allowed to leave the city.

After arranging all this, Li Ang led a small group of people into the tower of the Noble Court.

By this time the king had been in the tower for some time.

However, there has been no sound coming out of the tower, and a strange silence has been maintained. It may be that the top of the tower is too high. If you don't stand at the window and shout, it is difficult for the sound to come down.

Holding the sword, Li Ang patrolled layer by layer, and ordered all the maids he met to not leave the tower.

Just like this, I went all the way to the top floor, only to hear the voices of several core figures - this is also expected, after all, it happened on the top floor.

However, when Li Ang came to the top floor of the Noble Court, the scene here was really beyond his expectation...

The door on the top floor was left open, and all four of them were inside. As expected, something happened to Ulrik—he fell to the ground, with a table knife stuck in his stomach, and a sword stuck around his neck.

But the problem is that the person who pointed the sword point at Ulrik's neck was not Anna, but Inna...

Aurs pointed his sword at Anna with an angry face, and seemed to want to do it, but he hesitated—his son Inna stood in front of Anna and threatened the king.

And Princess Anna was leaning against the wall, her face full of panic, she looked like a delicate and weak woman...

However, Inar, who pointed his sword at Ulrik's neck, kept shaking his hands.

And Inna looked even sadder than the king, looking like he was begging for death.

"...Father, I must protect Anna! I must protect her..."

As soon as Li Ang arrived at the door, he heard Inna talking to Ors.

Is this silly boy planning to sacrifice himself for love?
"Inna! She's a heretic! She's a heretic prophet! Don't you want to live?"

Als said angrily.

"I can't live anymore...I have already done something to His Majesty..."

Inna spoke in a choked voice, but stopped in the middle of speaking - because at this moment Li Ang entered the door.

Li Ang can generally understand why Inna would do this. After all, Anna has his child in her womb. Moreover, Inna has never seen the real appearance of the three prophets——Anna still maintains the appearance of a princess at this time, weak and helpless. The appearance of an aristocratic woman.

"That's what she did! Inna, don't do stupid things... Lord Li Ang can help you, you can't become a kingslayer!"

Seeing Li Ang enter the door, Aurs seemed to see hope, and persuaded again.

But when Inna saw Li Ang coming in, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Master Li Ang, I have been waiting for you..."

However, without waiting for Li Ang to reply, and without waiting for anyone to react, he stabbed the sword into Ulrik's neck!
Blood spurted from the main artery and spilled all over the ground.

Ulrik was slain!
Killed by Inna? !

Li Ang was stunned, he had just entered the door, he hadn't done anything, and there was no time to do anything.

"No! What did you do! Inna..."

Als cried out in despair.

"Master Li Ang... you have seen it... I plead guilty!"

Inna didn't respond to his father, but dropped the sword, and knelt in front of Li Ang with his hands spread out: "Catch me."

Li Ang sighed, and glanced at Ulrik on the ground. The king's neck was still bleeding and his eyes were closed.

But the strange thing is that there is neither anger nor panic, nor any pain in the king's eyes.

Only sadness.

The kind of sadness that reveals despair.

Don't you know it hurts when you get hit by a sword?

"...I don't know what I saw...I just know that I have to catch you first, don't I, Lady Anna?"

Li Ang didn't respond to Inna, but walked towards Anna with his sword, but walked very carefully - he knew how powerful this prophet was: "Catch her!"

Several Noldor rangers quickly stepped forward and surrounded Anna.

"Master Li Ang! I am the one who killed the king!"

Inna shouted, trying to grab the sword on the ground, seemingly trying to stop Li Ang, but was kicked over by his father Aurs and fell to the ground.

"It's her who kills the king! Don't be a fool! Son!"

Als yelled.

But Ina turned a deaf ear, he climbed up to Anna and stood in front of Li Ang: "Master Li Ang, I did everything..."

Li Ang smiled wryly and shook his head: "Inna, I don't care who did it at all..."

"Hehehe...get out of the way, Inna..."

Princess Anna suddenly laughed and shook her head with a smile. This action was exactly the same as that of Li Ang: "Actually, His Excellency Li Ang is the real murderer of the king... right, Your Excellency Aurs?"

Aurs's face turned livid, but he didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ina looked back blankly, and then there seemed to be some kind of joy in his eyes: "Yes, he is..."

It was only then that Li Ang realized that it was Anna's idea?

She knew that Felina died, and she could hardly explain it. No matter how much Ulrik loved her, it was impossible to ignore the scene he saw with his own eyes, at least he would doubt it.

Even if Ulrik doesn't care about Felina's sister and insists on reversing the case for Anna, he must first put Anna in prison for investigation and trial, and he must only let a 'neutral' important minister be in charge of the interrogation—for example, he happened to meet Leon on this matter.

In other words, Anna actually couldn't get away. If she wanted to survive, she could only hold the king hostage.

But if Ulrik is held hostage, it will be completely impossible to achieve her goal...

So, Anna changed her mind - she killed Ulrik, and used the more serious event of regicide to change everyone's focus from the princess's murder to the king's murder...

Then, plant it on Li Ang's head...or on the head of any great noble who entered the tower first.

In this way, no matter what Li Ang said, no one would believe it.

If no one enters the tower, or if the planting fails, then Inar will be guilty of regicide, because he wants to protect Anna and his children...

And Anna is pregnant, pregnant with the king's heir, as long as she does not reveal her heretic status, no one will kill her at this time... On the contrary, there will be many people vying to protect her!
Li Ang gestured a thumbs up to Anna, and praised sincerely: "The idea is good, but... I am the only one left in this noble house!"

"Really? Hahaha..."

Anna laughed loudly, and then she pulled off the belt around her waist and stood up straight: "This lady's dress is really uncomfortable to wear...Your Excellency Li Ang! Come and fight me!"

She is calling for a fight.

She finally stopped pretending and greeted Li Ang like a warrior.

Li Ang took a step back, made a weird sword move, held the long sword obliquely, and then performed a head-wrapping gesture like a Pu Dao—he still remembered how he dealt with the three prophets before, only using them Only the tricks that have been used will work.

It seems that Anna has never seen such a strange trick of using a long sword as a simple sword, and this is not the sword technique of Pende Continent at all...

And she didn't have any objects in her hand that could be used to block, and she didn't have her flesh and blood armor on her body.

But she didn't seem to intend to dodge or block at all, but directly pulled the belt in her hand towards Li Ang.

Li Ang didn't dare to accept the power of the Three Prophets, even if she only held a belt, Li Ang didn't dare to accept it, so he had to back away and dodge.

But at this moment, Li Ang heard what seemed to be a buzzing sound behind him.

"Om..."

This is the sound of the blade breaking through the air!
"Ding!"

Li Ang's hearing ability is very good now, his face changed drastically, he turned around, the sword passed around the top of his head, and followed the saber technique just now to use a wrap around the head guard, just barely blocking the sword stabbing from behind.

The sharp griffin sword cut off the stabbing blade, but Beng Fei's blade still cut Li Ang's face - this sword was aimed at the neck!

That's Inna.

"Lord be careful!"

Only then did the rangers of the Noldor sound their warnings.Two rangers of the Noldor rushed up and pinned Inar to the ground with the broken sword.

And Aurs finally stopped hesitating at this time, he rushed towards Anna, attacking extremely violently, it seemed that he was going to kill Anna.

This prevented Anna from attacking Li Ang while Li Ang turned around to block.

The Noldor also rushed up, but Anna was leaning against the corner. In such a narrow space, there was no room for too many people to fight. Aurs was almost one-on-one with Anna.

But unexpectedly, Aurs defeated Anna easily!
Just a single owl knight beat this 'prophet' into retreat, and was stabbed in the shoulder with a sword.

"Humph……"

Anna suddenly laughed strangely, and then, Anna did something incomprehensible again—she actually jumped off the building!
Just as she was gradually retreating to the window, she jumped out of the window of the tower just like Felina!
"No... Anna... no..."

Weeping bitterly, Inar tried to throw himself at the window, but he was pinned down on his knees by two Rangers of the Noldor.

"...Go down and tie her up! Even if it's a corpse, you have to tie her up!"

Li Ang frowned and gave the order, and then looked at Inna: "You don't have to be a kingslayer, Inna. Before you did it, His Majesty the King was killed by Anna, I can tell... "

"Anna..."

Inna only had the window in his eyes, and he was muttering, seemingly unable to hear anything at all.

"That woman is not Anna!"

Li Ang simply pointed at the window and roared.

Inna stared blankly at Li Ang, no longer struggling.

"She's definitely not Anna... I can't defeat the prophetess with my abilities..."

Aurs also frowned and said, he looked at and handed the tip of his sword to Inna: "I stabbed her, but she didn't bleed, Inna, you should know what it means..."
