Heart of the Castle

Chapter 763

After the resolute voice of the Lord of the Eyes Thomas Yangsen fell to the ground, the body of the Sass team leader trembled slightly, "Your Excellency, the leader, I have no further opinions on this matter." Fear and anxiety There were indelible marks on the old man's face, but his eyes were calm, and he seemed to have a certain degree of awareness. "You may be able to gain victory, status and everything, but only you can, and the Death Knights will become a stepping stone for you to seize the power of Arthur's Kingdom, together with fame and us, we will be smashed to pieces..."

"Old Sass, do you still have any brains under that stubborn head of yours?" Jia Xiugang interrupted sharply, "Your Excellency Thomas Youngsen always puts the interests of the Death Knights first. Number one, if you don't want to be dealt with for your nonsense, apologize immediately and shut up!"

"In any case, Her Majesty Queen Fraser I has the undisputed right to inherit the throne, and the relationship between her and Levi Stern is so close that it is impossible to imagine that there is another person who can stand on the throne." She gave orders from her side." The leader of the Sass team raised his voice, and he couldn't see that Jiaxiu, who had a slow face, had just glanced at the leader of the team, but kept staring at the Lord with eyes, "Your Excellency, after breaking through the Green Castle. , your intention is not to hijack, but to kill Queen Fleischer and cut off the last orthodox blood of the Arthur royal family, right?"

There was a sharp light flashing in the golden eyes of the lord Tomad Jansen, but even the head of Jia Xiugang, who had followed him for the longest time and had the most delicate thoughts, could not judge whether it was disgust or appreciation. "Sass team leader, I didn't expect you to have political talent, but being a mere team leader is really a waste of talent." He commented in a peaceful voice, "That's right, Queen Fleischer and Levi ? Stern's relationship is already inseparable, I can't take the risk of angering a woman who has fallen into blind love, so I can only ask Her Majesty the Queen to leave the noisy world first."

"However, the title of Kingslayer is too heavy for a regent who is about to take over the power of the kingdom." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the Sass team leader, "Thomad Yangsen's A clean reputation cannot be tarnished by the blood of the royal family, so this ominous act cannot be performed by you, but by us Death Knights."

Discussions filled the hall again, and this time the volume was louder. Many team leaders looked suspicious, and even two people suddenly got up, wanting to ask something.However, before they had time to speak, the smile on the face of the lord Thomas Jansen withdrew, and he let out a heavy snort.

This cold snort sounded like thunder, and all the noise and discussion in the hall on the ground floor disappeared immediately, and the two team leaders who had just stood up staggered involuntarily, and fell back to their seats among.

The Sass team leader, who had prepared early, shook his body, but he held on and did not fall.Thomas Jansen took another deep look at the old team leader, and then said in a firm tone, "Except for the last point, your guesses are all correct, Sass team leader."

He took two steps forward seemingly casually, his golden eyes flickering brightly, "I will not sacrifice the Knights of Death, because I——Tomad Jansen, the scythe of Death, and everyone in the Knights of Death Life and death have long been connected, and honor is shared. As for you, Sass Edoji, you have betrayed my trust, and you are not worthy of staying among the death knights!"

The voice of the Lord of the Eyes was still echoing in everyone's ears, and the old Sass, who knew that his death was approaching, had already swooped towards Thomas Jansen like a cheetah.The two team leaders sitting beside him were caught off guard. Although they stretched out their hands to grab Old Sass' arm, they were stunned by the latter's sudden burst of iron-blue grudge.Surprises were heard all around, and people stood up everywhere in the hall on the ground floor, some were shouting the name of Sas Er Duoji, and some drew their swords out of their sheaths, ready to rush forward to block the charge of the old team leader.

However, none of these voices entered the ears of old Sass, and now he only had Lord Gnaw Eyes standing in front of him.Old Sass, as the oldest team leader in the Death Knights, is well aware of the ruthless personality of Tomad Jansen, the scythe of death. He will never tolerate betrayal, let alone show mercy. The only The only way to survive is to fight desperately, hoping for the negligence of the other party.

Tomard Yangsen didn't seem to have thought that the old Sass would make a decisive move, until the iron blue sword light was about to reach his body, his saber "Brilliant" was still in the scabbard, and he moved back quickly go.

"I actually forced the Lord of the Eyes back?" Old Sass's face showed a hint of surprise, and he never stopped moving. He raised his long sword with both hands, and slashed towards the pair of golden eyes.

There was a loud whistling sound, and the old Sass had unreservedly gathered all his fighting spirit into this sword.As early as more than 20 years ago, he had already become an outstanding title knight. Although the level of grudge had not improved further since then, it had reached a quite solid level.Such a thunderous blow with all his strength, the power even surpassed some weaker sword-wielding earls.

One of Tomard Jansen's nicknames is the Lord of the Eyes. That is to say, his qualification in the Knights' Association is nothing more than a Lord with a Sword. If his strength is as ordinary as it appears on the surface, then old Sass His attack could really seriously injure him.However, it is impossible for a Lord with a sword to make the mighty Knight of the Kingdom of Arthur, the Marquis of Osiris, the Green Lion, make a judgment that is difficult to leave, and it is even more impossible to control the arrogant soldiers of the Death Knights without being qualified to inherit Will.

With a soft sound, the iron-blue sword light ended less than ten centimeters away from the pair of golden eyes, and was firmly blocked by the sword hilt that "Brilliant" bounced up.Old Sass' facial muscles were distorted due to excessive force, and he tried his best to push the long sword to complete the last ten centimeter breakthrough, but the hilt of "Brilliant" was like cast steel. He didn't move at all, but waves of violent shocks came from his wrists, shaking his heart directly.

Old Sas let out a hoarse roar, had no choice but to admit defeat, twisted his wrist, and backed away. "I almost succeeded in killing you, Tomad!" He hid his fear and forced a smile on his face, "Whether you succeed or not, you will bring disaster to the Death Knights!"

"You will be destroyed first, Sass Edoji." Tomad Yangsen announced coldly, "Who else is your accomplice here? Tell them their names, and I will give you the right to live .”

"I have many accomplices, and I can tell you one of them..." Seth Edoji paused, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued hoarsely, "He is Gregor ?Lord Earl Clemennon!"

Tomad Yangsen's eyes suddenly flashed coldly, but before he could do anything, Seth Erdoji suddenly raised the long sword in his hand and cut it into his neck without hesitation. The blue blade was immediately dyed bright red.

Seeing the old team leader's body slumped to the ground, Tomad Jansen's eyes burned with raging anger that one couldn't dare to look at. "Throw this traitor's body into the Xilan River!" He ordered in a bone-chilling voice, then turned and returned to the throne, watching the two death knights dragging Sass Edoji's body out, heavy The sound of footsteps echoed endlessly in the corridor.

It wasn't until the two huge copper-inlaid wooden doors in the hall on the ground floor were closed again that the noisy sound resounded. Some people whispered to each other, their eyes flickering; while others moved their bodies uneasily, and the armor on their bodies rustled. Voice.Even the faces of several sub-team leaders looked a bit wrong, only Bell Gritos still looked confused, just frowning and looking at the remaining blood on the ground.

Tomad Jansen took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety that was burning like a flame in his chest. Seth Erdoji's betrayal was just a trivial matter, and it was not the god of death that really worried the Lord of the Eyes How many traitors are there in the Knights? It's the reaction of Levi Ston's side that is particularly slow.

Even judging by the best expectations, one day and two nights are enough for the news that he led the army to leave Firmeyer to be exposed. Tomard Jansen does not think that Laroque Zuma, that useless puppet, can delay for him How much time, but fortunately, he didn't know where he went. As long as the hub of the transmission network was destroyed, even if Levi Stern returned immediately by alchemy airship, it would take at least a day and a night to reach Green Castle.

If all goes well, Queen Fleischer's head will already be on the point of the iron spear on the city wall.Thinking of Li Wei Ston's expression of pain, Tomad Jansen felt a sense of refreshing relief for no reason, which even made the expression on his face a little gentler.

"Jia Xiugang's sub-group leader."

"Your Excellency, Captain, please give me your orders." The head of the first branch respectfully took two steps forward, and then rapped heavily on the breastplate.

"I want you to defend the fortress of the Xilan River after I lead the army to leave, and at least hold back the northern troops for more than a day and a night. How many troops do you need to complete this task?"

The head of the Jiaxiu Gang frowned, thought for a while, and then raised his eyes, "Your Excellency, the fortifications of the Xilan River are complete, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I want to defend against the onslaught of the northern army." One day and one night... I am afraid that at least five hundred death knights are needed to make it possible."

"But I can only give you 100 people." Thomas Yangsen said bluntly.

"Then I assure you, I will defend this place with my life." The head of the Jiaxiu Gang replied loudly, "Unless they step on my dead body, there is no hope that any knight from the north will break through the barrier of the Xilan River. Set foot on the land of the North Shore."

"Jiaxiu Gang's head, my task is not to send you to death. The defense methods of the Xilan River barrier are more complicated than what you see in your eyes." Tomad Yangsen tapped the "brilliant" Excalibur with his fingers The jewel on the hilt of the sword, trying to make his tone as calm as possible, "According to the intelligence from the gray-clothed ghost who once communicated with Sir Robin Sherwood, there is a secret room near the earth altar. It is a special mechanism as a last resort, and after it is activated, all other buildings except the five Weihe towers will be destroyed, making the Xilan River barrier an inaccessible isolated city in the water."

The head of Jiaxiu just showed a trace of excitement on his face, "Since this is the case, then I am not only confident that I can hold on for a day and a night, but it is even more likely that Li Wei Stern will suffer a big loss."

"Are you going to activate that special mechanism when the northern army is approaching the city?" Thomas Yangsen shook his head lightly, "That's too dangerous, and Livi Ston has a large number of alchemy flying ships, it is very It is possible to launch an attack on the Westland River fortress from the air. I suggest that you activate that mechanism earlier and concentrate your forces on the last river guard tower, so that when you evacuate, you can minimize the loss of personnel."

"Just follow your orders, Your Excellency, Commander." Jia Xiugang sub-command pondered for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "If possible, I also hope that the sub-corps leader Bell Gritos will stay and assist me. "

Thomas Yangsen glanced at Bell Gritos who was standing on the other side in surprise, "You want Bell's assistance? Jiaxiu is just the head of the sub-team, I think your relationship has not been very harmonious. "

"It's not very harmonious at ordinary times." Jia Xiugang added, "Master Bell's personality is too straightforward, and he often offends people without knowing it. But this time the situation is different, and it is related to the life and death of the Death Knights. If Lord Bell can stay in the Sealand River Fortress, his keen sense of war can help me a lot, but if he follows you to the Green Castle, he will be nothing more than the combat power of an earl with a sword. "

After hearing these words, the golden scorpion of the lord with eyes lowered, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, "Since this is the case, then Bel Grytos should also stay." He turned around and ordered, with a more serious tone Inquiring tone.

The head of the second branch nodded without thinking, "Boss, I'll stay. Anyway, I can slash and kill happily here. I'm afraid it's better to kill the old, weak, sick and disabled in Green Castle with you. Wei Ston's elite soldiers are going to fight."

"The defenders of Greencastle are not old, weak, sick or disabled. Cedric, the Earl of the White Wolf, was able to serve as the Great Commander of the Northern Territory for ten years. Knights, if you are negligent, it may cause a lot of trouble." Thomas Jansen smiled and explained a few words, and then found that Bell Gritos's eyes showed confusion, so he had to sigh In one breath, "Okay, Bell, I hope you don't get too immersed in the killing and forget when you should retreat."

"I will never forget it, boss." Bel Gritos knocked on the thick breastplate, and said loudly in a tone that he was not sure about, as if this could make the lie come true.

"Just remember, now let me deal with the last important thing before I leave." Thomas Jansen stood up from the throne, the black velvet cloak suddenly raised with his movement, like a pair of black Yi, "Destroy the earth altar here, leaving Levi Ston nowhere to go!"

After losing the presiding priest Peter Sherwood, the Temple of the Earth at the Sealand River Barrier was in a state of disuse. In order to ensure that the secret of the betrayal would not be leaked, Sir Robin ordered his cronies to move the Twelve Temples here right after Pastor Peter's death. All the deacons of the land were arrested and then secretly killed.At that time, there was a short and fierce fight in the temple. When Tomard Jansen, the Lord of the Eyes, led more than a dozen high-ranking death knights into the gate of the temple, he could still smell a rusty smell from his nose. The smell of blood.

A simple and solemn obsidian altar stands in the center of the temple, and the walls are covered with murals depicting the miracles of the god of the earth, Caggino, and the lord of the earth, Behemoth, inlaid with precious gemstones of various colors.The entire body of the altar is engraved with runes, most of which are still shining with a dim khaki-yellow light, obviously the divine power of the earth contained inside has not been completely exhausted.

Jia Xiugang's sub-group leader drew his sword and swung it fiercely towards the corner of the altar. However, even with the power of the peak Dou Qi Tianhua, it was not enough to destroy the obsidian altar that contained divine power.After a sharp clang, khaki and iron-blue light rain scattered in all directions. Jia Xiugang took a step back and felt his right hand go numb. When he examined it carefully, he realized that his dwarf master blacksmith forged There was a gap the size of a finger on the blade of the magic long sword.

"Why is this altar so indestructible?" Jia Xiugang's branch leader couldn't help blurting out, he was heartbroken and surprised at the damage to his beloved saber, and an unconcealable haze had condensed between his brows.

"This level of damage is not surprising. The hardness of obsidian is not inferior to the best quality enchanted steel, and the divine power of the earth is no less than that of fighting spirit." Tomad Yangsen narrowed his eyes and looked at the stone because of the added strength. Xiu Gang's slashed and radiant obsidian altar, "After losing the presiding priest, it can still make people feel troublesome. The god of the earth, Kaggino... Is this ancient god really resurrected?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, please forgive me." Jiaxiu took his eyes off his sword with difficulty, and persuaded in a low voice with worry, "The Death Knights will not be afraid to use any mortal as an opponent. But if...there is a true god standing behind Levi Stern, how many people would dare to swing their swords and spears at the god?"

Thomas Yangsen's answer was to show a cold and cruel smile, which added a certain dark charm to his original heroic temperament. As two clusters of golden flames burned in those eyes, the Excalibur "Excalibur" Brilliant" slid out of the scabbard with a clang, and was held high above his head by the hands of the Lord of the Eyed Eyes, a bright light dancing on the blade that one dare not look directly at.

"Those who dare to block my way to victory, even if I am a god, I will kill them without hesitation!"
