Wizard From Afar

Lotaire was the first to have an accident.

Because of the ancient wood forest incident, Lothar's heir, Deep Limburg count Ruben Fried was already prepared before his return journey-Ruben, who was faintly aware of it before arriving, entered During the Eagle Hunter, he exchanged identities with Captain Aaron Knight.

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

No one noticed up and down the castle, the guard Knight outside the door died silently; Aaron Knight, who was seriously injured and dying, fell into a coma, and the only suspension was a name that he kept chanting silently.

Puppet theater.

Looking at the "shadow sword" in his hand, Ruben immediately understood that the revenge elf assassin was lying in ambush in the Eagle Hunter fort.

Father, who stays behind closed doors all day long, and Aaron Knight, who is seriously injured and dying, has the answer close at hand.

The opponent's goal is himself...and the entire Fried family!

After careful consideration, Ruben released the news of his assassination first, and then announced that his coronation ceremony was held in advance. All invited guests are invited to arrive in advance.

There are two reasons-first of all, holding a coronation ceremony allows him to rightly control the Fried family, and even Lothair's military power; now there are thousands of people gathered outside the castle due to the emperor’s order. Elite, this is a very strong defensive force;

Secondly, this is also a temptation; if the other party is really an assassin, then assassinating himself is not his first purpose, creating chaos is ; Assassinating yourself under the full eyes of the coronation ceremony is definitely 10,000 times more effective than assassination.

In short, this is a bait placed in the open, and just and honourable tell the other party that this is still a trap.

Everything worked as he expected.

From sending the invitation to the coronation ceremony, nothing happened for a whole week, and Ruben’s heart also sank to the bottom—the other party was obviously prepared to be in full view and asked for his own Life.

On the day of the coronation ceremony, he finally left the room and walked into the sun in front of all the guests, and died on the spot; the originally beaming ceremony suddenly became a mess!

The fleeing guests, the nobles and the Knights who drew their swords to fight, the ladies who lost one's head out of fear... It was simply beyond control.

What surprised Ruben even more was that he had prepared in advance to maintain the order of the scene, but it didn’t play any role at all—because there was a vigil among the guests from all over the place. Team of people!

Apart from this, in the entourage there is actually the hunter Fiend from Byrne, the church’s "shield of defense", and the sorcerer group of Eboden!

This group of guys who didn’t even touch each other in the past have gathered together like "premeditated" this time. As the turmoil began, they began to join forces to strangle the "sudden" appearance. The wizard assassin.

After the control of the living dead (puppets) was completely destroyed, the invincible wizard assassin did not like the warrior of Byrne, but chose to flee immediately. The night watchman in the party ambush also did not pursue it, and let the opponent leave.

At this moment, news from Byrne finally reached Ruben Fried's hands.

Wearing a cloak soaked in father’s blood and holding an Azores long knife, Ruben Fried stood expressionlessly at the messy ceremony scene, shouting out the names of the traitors, Then the Knights will execute the sentence on their behalf by the oath of the church.

Amidst bursts of screams and cheers, he was officially crowned Lord of Fried, Duke of Lotaire.

But this is just the beginning... The blatant killing due to the contact of the intelligence network, the consequences are also destructive; even with the endorsement of the Sky Vault and Holy Cross Church, the brave Lotaire People still have many "thorns" who dare to rebel.

In the coming months, the long knives and bows in the hands of Ruben Fried will surely be stained with the blood of the nomads.

"Premeditated?" Looking at the description on the letterhead, Loren had a weird smile on his face.

"The night watchman should have been ambushing Lothar when His Majesty ordered Lothar's army to assemble." Luisen nodded: "As for the guardian shield and the sorcerer regiment of the wizard tower, it should be Without knowing it, he was ordered by the Vault of Heaven to assemble...just like ours."

So this group, plus Lothair’s elite mobile army, is Eckhardt II. In His Majesty's eyes, the trump card sufficient to "stop the invasion of the ancient wood forest" is just one of the baits and choices he released.

Well, why didn't I feel surprised at all?

With a self-deprecating chuckle, the black hair wizard continued to read.

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

There is also no preparation time. I noticed the exposed elves assassin, and unanimously chose to do it that night!

For Brandon Desalion and Grand Duke Poye, the Killing Formation of Salika Jonah is called "luxury"-the results of the engagement show the number of assassins There are no fewer than ten, and all of them wield Azores long swords and can use the "four courts" warrior of the "Warrior Way"; Take the Duke’s Castle.

The goal is also very clear... assault Thousand Tent City, kill the prince of the empire and Grand Duke Boi, and then create as much chaos as possible.

They succeeded in achieving the second point, but unfortunately they failed to achieve the first point.

Neither Boye’s silver-armored rider nor the empire’s "black city wall" have ever encountered such an agile and slashing enemy.

Although they had been prepared for the first time, their performance...not much better than Byrne's guard Knight.

The traitors in the city were taken down in advance, but several checkpoints and hidden doors were still opened; all guarding at narrow alleys, corridors and city walls, mistakenly thinking that the narrow terrain is not conducive to the defense of assassin. The army... all was wiped out.

Brandon who doesn’t trust father and Root Infinite, except for a handful of trusted night watchmen and Fiend hunters sent by Loren, is not allowed to have such People exist.

Boy, who has always been at odds with the empire, is always talking about defending against the penetration of the Nightman and the Celestial Force... Therefore, the two of them do not have the battle strength "equal" with the wizard assassin.

The two of Salika and Brandon in the Duke’s Castle almost watched the level fall one after another, and the elite subordinates died one after another... the huge city of Boi Thousand Tent City has become a place where the opponent can come and go free!

The wizard assassin, who paid the price of two deaths and two injuries, successfully penetrated the core of the city of Thousand Tends, the Duke’s Castle.

But inside the castle, there is not even a silhouette.

The elves assassins immediately realized that the ducal castle was a bait, and they were fooled.

But it's too late!

Without waiting for them to retreat, the giant dragon Miracis who was soaring in the sky had already lowered his anger, and the rock-built Duke’s castle was immediately shrouded in fire; the spewing flames mixed with poison qi, gushing from the windows and doors of the castle Enter every room!

Under Long Yan, All living things are equal.

Since the construction of Thousand Tent City, the Duke’s Castle, which has been standing for hundreds of years, collapsed and collapsed together with the nearby city walls and streets in the fire sea and turned into black ruins.

The elves assassin who had not had time to retreat, the loyal guards who were still fighting the enemy, the dying Legion soldiers, and the servants who knew nothing about everything...the dead and the living, disappeared into the fire sea together.

Countless casualties, half of the city destroyed, skeleton doesn't exist... In the end, the elves assassins run away; only a few are left for Brandon and Sarika It's just an indistinguishable body.

Salika, flustered and exasperated, immediately ordered the hunt and even insisted on catching the assassins personally; until she was forced to hold her by Brandon who had tried his best.

After she calmed down a bit, she got another message.

The first group of elite hussars sent out to chase the assassin encountered an ambush on the border between East Sackland and Boi and the entire army was wiped out.

The silent machete finally stopped being impulsive, and instead called on all the herdsmen of Boi to begin to gather in Thousand Tent City; from this, all the horseback people in Boi and even the Great Green Sea entered Ready for war.

But this kind of order also stirred up the chaos of the entire Boye-after all, the rebelliousness of the horseback folks is a matter of as everyone knows; the destruction of the Duke’s castle to Salika Jonah's blow was not heavy, and there were even rumors that he and Brandon were dead.

Especially the Little Boy’s territory, which was originally complaining about Jonah’s family, has been rebelled. In a short period of time, Sarika Jonah must devote all her energy to quelling the rebellion and maintaining stability. There is no time to take care of things at all.

The only lucky person is Brandon; Boye is too far away from Imperial Capital, so as long as there is no definite news, he doesn't need to worry too much.

"His Royal Highness Brandon believes that this time the Duke of Byrne and himself are both assassinated, and it may be a good opportunity." Lu Sien said solemnly: "On the one hand, you can test some vacillations within the camp. On the other hand, he can also take the opportunity to hide in the dark to see what is happening with his Royal Highness."

black hair wizard nodded, he is not worried about the prince at all:

"So...what about your big brother?"

The lord of Allermans, Lucien's half-brother, Yuli Wirtz.

The gray-eyed boy who heard these words shook his whole body, and the corners of his tight mouth twitched.

"Ah...that guy." Lightly snorted, the awkward Lucien turned his face to the side and said in a nonchalant tone:

"It's still alive."

Huh?

What kind of answer is this?

"...still alive...yes, that's what the letter says." Resisting the urge to laugh, Loren opened the mouth and said "seriously":

"But what I want to hear is the specific details, as well as the current situation of Grand Duke Würz-this is related to the relationship between Allerman and Byrne, and even the relationship with the Vault of Heaven."

The black hair wizard with aggravated tone, deliberately uses the name "Grand Duke Wiltz".

Lu Sien's expression finally became serious.

"Alemans got our reminder, but the elves assassins reacted quickly, and the assassination started at midnight that day." Gray pupil said solemnly:

"General process Similar to the experience of His Royal Highness Brandon-Although the Swordsman of Allermans fought desperately, the wizard warrior was an enemy they had never fought before. The preparations were very inadequate and the casualties were heavy."

"In the first fight at close quarters, one-fifth of the Würz family's pro-guard team was killed. Neiburg and the court were assassin breakthrough. Many people were killed when they were still unaware."

"Nobles, commoners, maids, servants... It is said that the assassin's ability is related to'blood', and can turn the sprayed blood into venom, arrows, and blades." The gray-eyed boy darkened his expression and bit instinctively. Tighten the teeth:

"The opponent is not an assassin at all, but an outright lunatic, a murderer...like slaughtering livestock, wantonly slaughter in the court like hunting, destroying and creating chaos, spreading fear!"

"After having nothing to do, Grand Duke Wiltz used himself as bait and led the lunatic to the deepest prayer room of the Eileman Cathedral-there were all'silent' runes, and their warrior's way was the same as magic They will also be severely suppressed and unable to exert their original strength."

"Uli Wirtz, alone in the prayer room, faced the assassin who came to kill him."

"There is no reinforcement, because it will be discovered by the enemy; there is no weapon to take advantage of, because he gave his saber to...me."

In the low voice, the black hair wizard can accurately feel Luz En that self-blame emotion.

Loren slightly nodded: "Then... caught it?"

"Let him run." The gray pupil shook his head, lowered his head and said softly: "Trash He lost his hand, but Grand Duke Wiltz was also in a serious coma-his left eye was dug out by that abnormality."

black hair wizard sighed.

So...Is this a game barely open?

Byrne, Lotaire, Boye, Elman... Except for no news from Eboden and Arles, almost all of the duchy suffered heavy losses, and they did not even catch the other side's whereabouts.

Eboden is hard to guess, but it is conceivable that Arles, which is already chaotic and remote, will not experience much better this time.

Five princes, one is dead, one is unconscious, one is unknown, two are injured...

And this is not all the battle strength of the other party!

"The information on the Imperial Capital is still unclear, but the Sky Vault seems to be a little bit moving, which is difficult to judge." The gray pupil continued, "If you want to find out what happened, you have to wait. Let's just look at the situation."

"Are there many rumors?" Loren raised his eyebrows.

"A lot, from the death of His Majesty Eckhart II to the Azores control of the Sky Palace, and all these are conspiracies designed by the Desalion family...foreign enemy sneak attack , Noble rebellion, Imperial Family treason, there are all kinds of things." Lu Sien frowned, shook his head:

"But basically there is no credible value, more like being deliberately released Obscure; well, it's similar to the thoughts of His Royal Highness Brandon."

This is not worthy of surprise-a son must have a father.

"So, Dalton · Kander Master still recommends that you turn your attention to the clues we already have." Lu Sien reminded: "The wizard warrior we caught is imprisoned in the wizard. At the bottom of the trade union, all the information that can be dug has been dug, but...you might as well try it."
