The reason why the Empress and her party were able to leave smoothly was actually because Prince Behar did not try his best to save the life of His Majesty the Emperor. Even if all the guards around the Emperor were wiped out, the most they could do was capture the Empress alive. In front of them, there is still no chance.
The time for regicide.
But in fact, where the prince didn't care, things gradually became different from what he imagined.
The real reason why the heavily armored soldiers on the prince's side couldn't catch up with the empress was because they didn't want to face the magician directly.
The events of Dragon Island may not have reached their ears yet, but the first two waves of people who assassinated magicians also included people they knew who had died. Countless examples of broken families are before their eyes, and they certainly don't want to experience this.
things, or bring such a tragic experience to your family.
The soldiers did not dare to push away or harm the nobles who were running randomly and blocking their advance route. Even if the superior officer issued an order, these nobles were not something they could touch or kill.

If he had obeyed the order foolishly and done something that was not allowed, no matter whether he captured the empress or not, everyone knew that when the family members of the nobles who died wanted an explanation, they would definitely be pushed out to block those nobles.
Mouth.
In other words, the mess in front of them is a dead end for these soldiers.
Even if we ignore the life and death of the nobles and push forward forcefully, the final result will only be to capture the empress, rather than kill the emperor and ascend to the throne. Then in the process of dealing with the aftermath, our group will inevitably become bargaining chips and props to appease people.
Otherwise, it would be an explanation to the empress.
If the mission fails, you will be reprimanded by the prince, and there may even be other punishments. As for the inability to implement orders and insufficient training, there will of course be some painful training afterwards.
…
Comparing the two, it seems that it would be better to let the mission fail. At least in the end, he can save his life, which means he will live a miserable life. At most, he will be expelled. In short, no one believes that the prince will protect himself.
Of course, the soldiers did not discuss this matter in advance. They just followed the same rhythm in a tacit understanding and firmly maintained the advancing formation. Even if some people did not understand at first, their speed was slowed down by those around them.
After a while, you will understand.
To be able to join the Guards Corps and serve as a guard for the royal family, loyalty is the basic requirement, but shrewdness is the most basic quality. Even if they are just soldiers at the grassroots level, they can become non-commissioned officers after being released. Of course, no one is stupid.
Compared to the small thoughts of the soldiers, the nobles had other ideas. They had never thought about what it was like to watch a play and see being forced to perform on stage, let alone those who even lost their lives.
Especially those grand dukes who were present at the meeting. You must know that the location where they originally stood was the closest to the beauty lamp.
If the magician did not cast a spell to displace the beauty lamp, but instead exploded around them, even if he had life-saving magic items, what about the children he brought with him? Would they all be safe?
Even if they have life-saving magic props to defend themselves, it doesn't mean that these noble people are willing to be bombed! More importantly, they have no knowledge of such an arrangement in advance. If the magician makes the wrong choice, he is likely to be sent away.
That's them.
Almost all the nobles who stayed by the beauty lamp had expressions so dark that they could drip with ink.
Except for Archduke Frias, the father of Prince Thomas and a staunch supporter of Prince Behar. His expression was not that he was also annoyed by the calculation, but that things were not as expected.
Without asking, everyone could probably guess that Archduke Frias must be an insider or even the planner! This made everyone even more angry.
Even though everyone is now united to deal with the emperor, the competition between the nobles still exists. If the several grand dukes present are really killed by the bomb, they can all imagine what kind of frame-up method will be followed. And then all the
The nobles raised their flag of rebellion against the emperor.
Don't think that your family will also benefit from doing this. If you can't figure out the successor, or even who the successor is, it is possible that the family will weaken or even be wiped out in the subsequent changes.
.
As for the little nobles who were injured or killed by the explosion, they now hated both the Empress and Prince Behar. They would not foolishly think that the Corpse Explosion Technique would not work if the Empress gave up resistance.
befall them.
One by one, the protagonist of the struggle must be hated, and the one who set up the corpse explosion trap must be hated even more!
Therefore, Prince Behar's heroic explosion pushed many small nobles away from his camp. It means that these small nobles were not noticed by the prince from the beginning. Even if they were all gone, he probably wouldn't
Don't care.
But those nobles who are not big nobles, who are not in the position affected by the original beauty lamp, and who are certainly not harmed by the corpse explosion, cannot continue to stand in the prince's camp in their hearts. Because of the words of a certain magician, reminding
told them something.
For them, the best emperor should be a mediocre and incompetent person. In this way, the emperor will not torment them.
A little better is the kind of person who has no connections or strength, just like the current Empress. In this way, everyone can still isolate the emperor from the core of power.
But if a tyrant succeeds to the throne... do you expect that this child's character will change on his own when he grows up? Those words are meant to deceive others, but not yourself.
You must know that the current character of Prince Behar was the result of the joint efforts of the nobles. But it seems that the effect has gone too far, and it has backfired on him.
Because everyone trusted the host of the banquet, Prince Behar, they came dressed in gorgeous clothes and did not bring armed guards. However, the prince took the initiative to break the rules, just for his own purposes, and did not care about other people.
of life and death.
Comparing the actions of the empress' side, they mainly focused on avoidance and understood that this banquet hall was not a suitable place for fighting. So they did not fight back from the beginning to the end, they just continued to defend. This did not make the banquet hall already a mess.
The situation became out of control.
The performance of both parties caused everyone to quietly change their original stance of supporting Prince Behar. Of course, it was impossible to switch to the Empress camp, but everyone no longer trusted and supported Prince Behar.
It can be said that this banquet, on the surface, was a loss of face to the empress. It added one more deed to St. Alegria on the pillar of shame. But in fact, the person who lost both face and inner dignity was probably that person.
A prince who covets the throne of the emperor.
In fact, all this is not the calculation of a certain magician. He just made the choice he would make according to his own habits. It's just that the retreat and escape that have been criticized in the past have come into play this time.
Unexpected effects.
However, a certain person did not realize what good thing he had done, and his whole mind was still focused on the empress' retreat.
Of all types of battles or wars, retreat is the most difficult one. How to reduce losses, break away from the battlefield, and block pursuing troops, it can be said that there is no standard answer, and you can only act according to circumstances.
The moment they left the big house, the knights guarding the Empress blew a dragon flute. This was a slender whistle that could emit a high-frequency sound that only dragons or sub-dragons could hear. Humans were at best
I feel my ears are a bit harsh and uncomfortable. This is to call the Dragoon Legion to come to support.
At the same time, someone among the Empress's guards fired a firework into the sky. In addition to calling for reinforcements, they also asked the people driving the carriage to come over as soon as possible.
The action of boarding the car and evacuating was very smooth, because no one seriously blocked it. This made Lin quite surprised, and also felt lucky. He is not a murderous person by nature. Although he has been in the Lost Land until now, he will not suffer from deprivation of life.
A sense of guilt does not mean that he enjoys killing people. Killing people is not a pleasant thing.
The empress and her close friends, who were carried out under the arms, were thrown into the emperor's carriage by the tall and strong guard. Lin followed the carriage shamelessly, and the guard knights did not stop them in the slightest.
In urgent matters, the knights also need the magical robes of the magician to become the shield of His Majesty the Emperor.
After getting in the car, Lin not only helped to carry and fix Acorus's body, but also had to take care of the empress. Who knew whether Prince Behar's people would suddenly have a seizure and change from a show-off to a real murder.
There are many such things in the art of war that I know. First let down their guard, and then attack and kill them in one fell swoop.
If he stayed away from the empress, something like what happened with the Corpse Explosion Technique just happened again, and he might not be able to save people in time, so Lin insisted on getting on the same carriage. He didn't feel at ease letting the empress stay far away from his eyes.
.
In the carriage, the dead silence was quickly broken by the escorting knights from outside. One of them patted the window of the emperor's carriage and asked inside: "Your Majesty, the support of the dragoons has arrived. Do you want to ride?"
Feilong leaves first?"
When Alegria was about to reply, Lin held down the other person's hand and said, "Turn all the way to the temple of the Church of the Three Holy Lights."
The empress didn't understand what someone meant at first, but when she followed Lin's fingers and looked at the pained expression of Acorus, she instantly understood. Then she ordered outward: "Turn to the Temple of Life and find the Archbishop."
The empress's orders were always simple, clear, and unquestionable. Of course, the guard knights had no objections.
Perhaps it would be very shameful for a nobleman to seek refuge in the temple of a god even as an emperor. But there was no way to guarantee the return to the palace, and there would be no other ambush.
Even returning to the palace from the air is not that safe. The empire's flying team is not just dragoons. So in the name of saving people, diverting to the temple is a quite clever tactical move. At least give them more time to mobilize His Majesty the Emperor's
Guards.
On the carriage, the resurrected empress looked at Calamus's painful expression. She didn't dare to look at a certain magician, so she just asked in a suppressed voice: "Just now, was that a lie? My Lisa was just locked up.
Places we don’t know yet.”
Lin thought for a while and said tactfully: "That was the corpse explosion technique in undead magic. I don't think the prince would specifically change the appearance of a corpse to look like Lisa to confuse us. With that little
Considering the guy's reckless character, he can't do such a delicate operation. So..."
