"Your Majesty, are you worried?" The old emperor suddenly stopped and looked at his second son.
"No, it's nothing, father." The second prince showed a smile.
"No, I can tell. You must be hiding something from me." His Majesty the Emperor grabbed him and said, "Tell me, if you still think of me as a father in your eyes."
"I...I..." The second prince showed a painful expression of hesitation and struggle.
"Humph, it's about your eldest brother." His Majesty the Emperor sighed as he thought about it, and let go of the second prince: "Did he cause trouble again? I will summon him in the evening and ask him to go to Thunder Fortress."
"Father" The second prince was slightly startled. He didn't expect that his father actually wanted to send his eldest brother to Thunder Fortress. Isn't this... tantamount to depriving the other party of his inheritance rights?
It's just...it's too late, my father, I can't wait for you to return.
The second prince half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and whispered: "My father, my son... I heard that my eldest brother is gathering an army and wants to attack the imperial city and force your father to abdicate, but I
Come to think of it, this must be a rumor."
"What?" The emperor was furious and turned to look at himself: "Longying, go and catch that evil boy for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The dragon eagle accompanying the emperor nodded slightly, and flew into the sky like a giant eagle.
"Ouch~" The dragon eagle that had just ascended into the sky had no time to draw its sword and was trapped in the air by a silver-white chain.
He is His Majesty's strongest guard and one of the few legendary powerhouses in the empire.
But the chain is obviously not ordinary.
While trapping it, it actually released a large amount of icy air, freezing it, so that the magic power in its body could only barely resist the biting ice, and it was unable to break free from the chains.
The one who took action was an old scholar in the sky above the imperial city. Bai Yunfei was beside him, looking at the silver-white chain with some surprise: "What is that? It looks very powerful."
"That is the Chain of the Sad White Dragon. It is made from the Dragon Scripture of one hundred and thirty white dragons and the Ice God Iron. Although it is not a divine weapon, it is enough to withstand the energy of a legendary level powerhouse." The old man said.
Scholars are somewhat proud of themselves.
"Really?" Bai Yunfei looked at the chain, because William Akaya was nearby, but he couldn't open the Eye of Order.
"Kill, kill, kill~"
Inside the imperial city, a shocking sound of killing could be heard.
The eldest prince led the royal knights to the gate of the inner city.
"I~ am the Crown Prince of the Empire. I am the new Lord of Asia and Lord of Akaia." The eldest prince raised his sword and roared loudly while swinging it.
"Bad boy! I'm not dead yet." After discovering that Long Ying was trapped, the furious emperor couldn't bear it anymore and ran out, standing on the city wall, where he happened to see the eldest prince.
"Huh?" The eldest prince looked up, instinctively afraid, but thinking of the knights behind him, he gained courage again.
"Father, you are already old," the eldest prince shouted: "Can't you see that this empire is getting closer and closer to collapse under your rule? Can't you see that our Akaya clan has reached the point of life and death?
Is this a moment of crisis?”
"You evil son," the emperor gasped, his eyes were blood red: "Come here, kill this evil son for me. If you kill him, you will be rewarded by the Grand Duke with ten thousand taels of gold."
"Kill me?" The eldest prince laughed.
"Phew." On the city wall, more than a dozen expert guards were ordered to dispatch and stabbed the eldest prince.
They have strong skills and extraordinary fighting prowess, and they hold precious weapons in their hands.
"Royal guard?" The eldest prince chuckled, but he was confident.
"Bang", the swords of more than a dozen royal guards hit an earth-yellow shield that suddenly appeared in front of the eldest prince. Then, more than ten of them vomited blood and were thrown away.
"Hahaha~ kill them for me," the eldest prince shouted with a smile.
Dozens of knights attacked on horseback. Before the injured royal guards could land, they raised their spears in mid-air and penetrated them one by one.
"Your Majesty is really powerful." A voice whispered in the air beside the eldest prince.
"No, it's all thanks to your help, Master, but that move just now was really amazing. It hit the more than 10 royal guards at once. There were quite a few of them. It would be best if they could defeat me in a one-on-one challenge."
The knight."
"Your Majesty, this is because they are careless, and on the battlefield, the slightest carelessness can be fatal." Whispers continued to be heard in the air.
"Yes, you can't be careless." The eldest prince looked around: "My knights, prepare to attack the city~".
"Ho~ho!" The knights raised their spears and roared loudly to cheer. Hundreds of knights dismounted, operated the magic cannons they had brought, and aimed them at the city wall.
"Boom boom"
"Ah~" The sound of explosions continued to be heard, and the guards of the imperial city were entangled with the knights.
The second prince stood behind the emperor and watched all this with cold eyes.
"Hey, he turned out to be the knight retainer of Uncle Twelve, an old knight who is only one step away from becoming legendary. I didn't expect that he was also sent here." The second prince sneered and whispered: "But that's okay, don't be like this, wait for me
After becoming emperor, how can I know who to trust?"
A loud "bang" sound came, the ground shook, and the city wall began to collapse.
That was caused by the eldest prince's group of magicians finally condensing a large-scale earth magic that shook the foundation of the city wall.
The "bastard" suddenly turned into an extremely old emperor, covering his chest and whispering: "Why, why is this happening? How can those magicians support him and the others? It's because I am the one who supports them~"
"Father, please be patient." The second prince approached his father and whispered softly: "Rebels will eventually be punished. This is an outcome that no one can change."
"That's right." The emperor nodded lightly and held the second prince's hand.
"Your Majesty, you must help your father."
"I will definitely make you the prince."
"Father, please rest assured." The second prince leaned forward and said, "My son, I will defend your imperial power to the death."
"Where are the Pegasus Knights of the Essia Empire?" The second prince stood up and shouted loudly like a general.
"Hey~" Hundreds of silver Pegasus knights shouted out in response. They were neatly dressed, with small shields and javelins in their hands, and the magic light shone among them.
The leading Pegasus knight nodded slightly to the second prince, and then flew into the sky.
"The Pegasus Knights guarding the northern border?" The emperor trembled suddenly and gave a lonely wry smile: "Have you already known about your elder brother's plan?"
"Yes, Father." The second prince nodded lightly: "I know, the guardians of the empire also know, and the great nobles who hold real power also know."
"This is a gambling fight. Only one person can survive between two princes."
"I want to know what you relied on to bribe the Pegasus Knights." The emperor gasped and asked in a low voice.
"The world loves gold so much. Beauty, plus the title of a duke, is enough to make them work for you." The second prince leaned forward and said.
"Please rest assured, father, I will not take away your imperial power. You are still my father, the emperor of Asia."
"Huh?" The emperor's eyes flashed with light, but then dimmed; "I will issue a decree and declare you to be the regent."
"Thank you for your understanding, my father." The second prince smiled proudly.
When he turned back to look into the sky, the second prince was suddenly stunned.
"What's going on?" he shouted in horror.
Sky.
Dozens of Pegasus knights screamed and fell from the sky.
But what caused all this was a group of bipedal flying dragons
A group of bipedal flying dragons suddenly appeared in the ripples of space.
"Huh?" The old scholar wanted to take action, but after thinking about it, he stopped: "This should be the help invited by the eldest prince. There is no legend, so it is not a foul."
"It's just that those green ones are the orcs recorded in the literature?" Bai Yunfei whispered.
"Yes." The old scholar pushed up his glasses and looked very interested: "These guys... are quite interesting. I will definitely study them after this battle is over."
These orcs are naturally embodied creatures from the barbaric city.
The person who contacted them was the first orc hero, Sword Master Grom.
He maintained the Wind Step state, then put on an invisibility cloak and lurked beside the eldest prince. The yellow shield just now was his masterpiece, but it was borrowed from the magical effect of the intermediate-quality Thorn Shield.
The Shield of Thorns, which comes with a level 3 thorn aura and a level 3 spiked shell, has caused great harm to the royal guards in close combat.
"Roar." A Cyclops came to the palace during the second teleportation. Its huge body and weird shape immediately caused everyone to fall into a state of speechlessness.
"The mythical Cyclops?" The old scholar became excited: "Does such a creature really exist?"
"My friend, the helpers you called are really powerful." The eldest prince muttered.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but don't worry, they won't have legendary strong men. Of course, if Your Majesty is willing, we can also summon them." The Beast Sword Master whispered.
"No need, with the help of these brave warriors, I will definitely win this battle."
"Roar" the Cyclops threw the boulder, and two intermediate-quality tauren warriors, holding totem poles, rushed in through the gap in the city wall, knocking down a group of imperial city guards, and then were hit by several magic spells.
The city guards used their spears and strong bows to stab the city like hedgehogs, unwilling to fall.
However, the balance of victory began to tip towards the eldest prince.
Because the orc tauren hero also arrived. His combat power may not be strong, but the activation of his endurance halo caused the knights of the eldest prince to fall into a state of madness.
"Kill!" The knights raised their spears, stepped on the minotaur's corpse, and completely rushed into the enemy group.
"Kill them all~" The leader of the Pegasus Knights, after reorganizing the team, defeated the two-legged flying dragons steadily. Just when he was about to pursue the victory and end this aerial battle, a group of people with flaming tails appeared.
Strange birds appeared behind the escaping wyverns.
"No matter who it is, it is impossible to stop us." The leader became murderous and roared loudly.
