You and me under the world tree

Weapons are impossible to use.

How can you use a weapon in this situation?

Then, he stretched out his hands directly, and held Dietrich's hand the moment she swung the sword.

Immediately afterwards, he exerted force directly and threw Dietrich out.

At this moment, she was directly thrown out of the bedroom and out of the balcony.

Immediately afterwards, Hodder turned his head, and he just stared at the woman who seemed to be still in a daze.

"Otilia," he cried, "give me your child!"

"?!"

"If you want to live, give Dieter Heil to me!"

"This is my child..."

"It should be a good deal for you, right? Anyway, the so-called child is like this to you. For your own selfish desires, you can betray and frame him anytime and anywhere."

"..."

"If you don't give it to me, I will kill you!"

Chapter 56: The Sword Breaks Through the City Gate

The flames were burning like this, and the whole palace was billowing with thick smoke.

Although Dietrich, who had already entered the palace, and Otilia, who was in the bedroom, may not be very clear about the specific reasons, but everyone outside actually knows that the fire actually started from the front hall of.

In other words, from the very beginning, the largest entrance has been blocked by a huge fire.

However, it is worth mentioning that since the moment the chaos broke out in the palace, the news had already spread to various places in the palace.

Coupled with the fact that the imperial guards who were originally not allowed to enter the inner hall rushed into the apse with a aggressive attitude and joined forces with the shield maidens inside and out, those ordinary maids should understand what happened no matter how dull they were.

So from the moment the fire was completely swept away, these maids had already left from places other than the palace gate, including secret passages and side doors.

Therefore, the burning of the fire did not actually cause much casualties to the innocent people in the inner hall.

If I had to say it, the ones who died the most were those rebels who dared to attack the once loyal Princess.

At the same time there were the rebels in the vestibule where the throne was.

But at this moment, those who managed to escape from the fire were watching the rising flames and billowing black smoke with lingering fear.

Elmrich...

King Dietmar's brother, the lord of one side of the Gothic Kingdom, was just watching the palace hall at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Dietmar...brother." He murmured

In fact, there are not many people who plotted the palace coup this time.

Because it is impossible to plan a perfect plan just relying on the palace minister Sifka who has no foundation in the court and Ottilia who controls the harem shield girl.

Not because of anything else, because the 'staff' is not enough.

If only they were the only ones, even with Sifka's own provocative power and the belief in gods rooted in people's hearts, he could quickly turn the Gothic king Dietmar into a rebellious and evil false king, and make him The prestige of the children is completely destroyed and branded as fakes.

However, this kind of righteousness can only be used once or twice.

Because the gods will show their sense of existence, but that is more in the form of miracles.

If they themselves do not have enough strength, they will still be manipulated by those nobles and courtiers who have already taken root in the court for a long time.

After all, the Chosen King Dieter Heier is really too young, his thinking has not yet formed, and those people have enough patience and ability to influence the one-year-old child.

Moreover, it was impossible for them to sit back and watch Sifka, a person they had never dealt with in the first place, ride on their heads as a god messenger and avenger.

At that time, there will inevitably be a bloodbath in the court.

In this case, apart from the righteousness that has already been grasped in the hands, what is more important is the actual strength.

So, Sifka reached out to Elmrich in this situation.

Elmrich, who was also over half a hundred years old, actually almost sat in that position, because in the past, he was once selected as a puppet assistant by those ambitious courtiers and nobles.

But when he was young, all he could feel was pain.

At that time, he had never tasted the unique sweetness of power, so it was extremely painful.

However, now, after sitting on the lord's seat for a long time, he has a renewed desire for the blood-stained Gothic throne.

If you have to say it, you can only say that people will change.

Because of being a lord outside for a long time, the brotherhood that he and Dittmar had honed from the court struggle also faded.

And Sivka took a fancy to Elmrich at that time.

The chancellor had promised that, as King Dittmar's brother, he would be regent if he would assist.

At least, until the real king Dieter Heil grew up, he enjoyed the same power as the king.

It is precisely because of this that at the moment when Sifka's arm was suddenly cut off and the suspected forged miracle spear was also broken, he would stand up and serve as the second benchmark.

However, the only thing he didn't expect was that Dittmar, who was almost 60 years old, still broke out with strong fighting power.

Obviously, he had long been determined to die, and even let the most powerful guard around him: the brave Hiltebrand directly lead the guards who were willing to continue to follow them to leave directly.

No one remained, not even Studus, the dragon blood warrior who was as stubborn as an ox.

But even in this situation, he still deterred almost all enemies with his own strength.

Under the circumstances that the envoys from various countries had expressed their stance by joining the battle, he directly used a tyrannical spell to drag everyone present.

Not only did he create an enchantment to block the gate of the palace by carving runes with his bare hands, but he even set fire to the palace.

The old king who had fallen into madness seemed to die with them.

Messengers from various countries - what would happen to those figures with royal status if they died in the Gothic Kingdom?

No one knows this, but this is bound to plunge the Gothic Kingdom into an even bigger vortex.

But he still did it.

"call……"

Thinking of this, Elmrich couldn't help exhaling a foul breath.

At the same time, his slightly cloudy eyes couldn't help moving to the long sword in his hand.

The sword was stained with blood.

Although the scene was once extremely chaotic, and even Dittmar showed the unstoppable power he had when he was young, he was still a mortal body after all.

So, he died anyway.

Elmrich remembered clearly that it was himself who gave him the fatal blow.

It was he who pierced Dittmar's chest with his sword, which lifted the barrier that blocked the gate of the palace before they could run out.

"An era has passed." Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Elmrich couldn't help saying.

In fact, as a lord, he once thought about this aspect.

If Dittmar really died, what would he think?

After all, they used to be half-brothers, but because of the friendship they fought out of the palace together and fought in the world, they are naturally close.

However, after he was really dead, even killed by himself, Elmrich realized one thing: Maybe he really became cold-blooded.

There is such a trace of regret in my heart, which is inevitable.

Because he didn't lose his memory after all, he still remembered the tall figure standing in front of him in the bloody court.

However, it's all over.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

At this moment, the guard's panting voice came from his ear.

"Although we blocked the royal city, Hiltebrand still ran away!"

"Ran?"

After hearing this, Elmrich couldn't help being taken aback.

"How did you run?"

"He tore through the gate with the magic sword."

"..."

Chapter 57: It's called greetings, but it's actually...

Among Midgard, the true warrior has always been honored.

Because of the existence of powerful weapons such as magic sword and holy sword, and supernatural powers such as magic, the upper limit of personal force is naturally magnified endlessly.

It is also for this reason that those in power in the kingdom have always loved and hated those chosen powerhouses.

As long as those heroes who like to travel and fight everywhere are recruited, then these people in power will add a heavy insurance to the war they initiated.

Because in the absence of conflicts, as long as the traveling heroes are entertained with good food and drink, then they can form a good relationship.

However, once a conflict breaks out between the two sides—no matter what the reason is, the final result will always make the power holder extremely upset.

Because they can't be restrained at all, just like now.

For ordinary warriors, as long as the city gate is blocked, it means that it is difficult for them to escape, because jumping off the city wall is undoubtedly a dream.

Therefore, as long as the city gate is sealed, those guys can be locked in the royal city and beat the dogs.

However, this most conventional method of combat cannot be used on heroes who hold powerful weapons at all.

Hiltebrand is a living example.

Thinking of that same aged man, Elmrich couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

After that, he sighed:

"The door was torn apart."

Staring at the guard with his head down, he didn't pursue anything in the end.

Because he knew that, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is completely meaningless to pursue this kind of thing.

Because ordinary guards can't stop the man at all.

"My lord, do you need to pursue it?"

"No need."

Although the guard proposed the most conventional solution, it was quickly overruled by Elmrich.

Not because of other reasons, because he knows that doing this kind of thing doesn't make any sense at all.

"But my lord..."

"Even if there is a way to catch up to Hiltebrand, can you take him down?"

Perhaps, the guard wanted to say something, but when Elmrich threw this question to him, he quickly fell silent.

After all, he is just a bodyguard, and his vision is far from that of the lord he is loyal to.

To put it bluntly, it was just a subconscious behavior that he would say that before.

Someone escaped the blockade, isn't it normal to pursue it?

That's what he thinks.

Before he really broke out with the long-established old hero, he would never consider this matter.

And when Elmrich put this problem in front of him, he realized his incompetence.

can't win at all...

Although he had already come up with this answer in his heart, but facing the Lord's gaze, he couldn't say it out of his mouth no matter what.

Whether it was because of a little self-esteem or other problems, I am afraid that even he himself did not understand.
