This night in the Imperial Capital was destined not to be peaceful. At the same moment when Brando sneaked into Hanlu Manor, another battle started in Mosque Castle.
The commander of the attacking side was a cute little girl, but her strength and tactical skills frightened the enemy city guards.
Medissa stood alone on the castle drawbridge, riding a horse.
The war is almost over, but the smell of gunpowder smoke is still in the air.
She held a silver spear in her hand, and her winged helmet protected her slightly childish face. Under her firm silver gaze, the gate of the moss castle had already been opened, and the enemies who blocked her were lying in the city gate in a mess, lifeless.
This is part of Brando's entire plan, and this is just one scene.
After a while, the Baicheng pioneers finally captured the last tower, and Huque leaned out half of his body from there and waved to her.
Medissa nodded to them happily:
"Good job, uncle."
"This is your credit, Miss Commander." Huque responded with a smile.
At this moment, everyone in the Lubis mercenary group had already exchanged their guns for guns. The mercenary leader's tiger bird was wearing heavy armor, and his weapon was changed to a halberd with a cold light. The blade was engraved with a small line of Faenzan script. In fact, it was
A motto spread among the countryside in Baicheng:
Courage gives victory——
The tower was in a mess. The corpses of seven or eight Imperial soldiers were scattered around a table and a window. There were also a few severed bows scattered around. There was a strong smell of blood in the small space. Huque watched.
At this scene, he shook his head with a calm expression, took out his pipe, struck a match and lit it. The darkness suddenly became brighter and darker, and then a puff of smoke rose up.
This is a moment of calm after the battle. The men are still immersed in the aftertaste of the killing. The diffuse smoke seems to form an illusion. Behind it is the Golden Hall in the myth of the Ten Cities - the destination of warriors and the temple of bravery.
Fro frowned and grabbed his sister's hand and dragged her out, causing a burst of laughter. Under the shadow of the city wall, there was a fish that slipped through the net and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack on the two sisters, but Fro's hand flashed with cold light.
, half of the city wall was covered with a layer of white frost, and the few imperial soldiers were even frozen into blocks of ice.
The Lubis mercenaries summoned by the White City Vanguard card are only ten levels lower than the Fran Knights. Now that Medissa has touched the side of truth with one hand, the strength of the original Lubis mercenaries has naturally increased.
They civilized their elements one after another and became Templars.
Inside the moss castle, the remaining city guards defended the castle gate. Hipamilla, her iron puppets, and the gargoyles were repeatedly frustrated. The priestess went into battle in anger and struck with a hammer.
On the gate, the gate that had been blessed many times by the wizard behind the door was intact. However, after a period of shaking, the entire wall on this side of the castle collapsed.
Almost everyone was stunned by this shocking blow, but the priestess didn't notice it at all. Anyway, as long as the goal was achieved, it would be fine.
Only then did Hipamila push open the door, covering her nose with her hands. She kept coughing. The wizards and soldiers behind the door had long been killed by the shock, and only a frame of the door was left standing in the flying dust.
With one wall upside down, the moss castle looks like a gaping black hole, and the door is its upright front teeth.
The door creaked open, and the bricks behind it fell like rain. At this moment, Hipamila suddenly felt alarmed, raised her right hand, and the halo of a ring spread out from her hand.
, forming a hemispherical light curtain.
"Song of Blessing——"
A huge ax was swung out in the darkness, and then the sound of wind came one after another. The ax was swung heavily on the light curtain opened by Hipamira. The light curtain did not even fluctuate. It only flickered slightly, and then
Disappear into the invisible.
The shock wave of the explosion directly smashed the doors on both sides into pieces. The door frames suddenly broke, and the two doors slowly fell down one after the other.
Suddenly a fist stretched out from the darkness and smashed the pressed door into pieces with one punch.
Sawdust flew all over the sky like butterflies, and then fell one after another, and then a tall man with upper body torso walked out, carrying a giant axe. The guy's trousers and foot protection looked like he was not a city guard, but a close guard.
knight.
He glanced at Xipa Mira, who was unscathed and didn't even move his clothes, with some surprise, and asked: "What is your ability? Why can you block me without any damage even though you are only at the peak of the Side of Truth?"
hit?"
"This is a song of blessing," Hipamila answered seriously: "It is the faith given to me by the goddess. It is indestructible and shaped like mountains and the thick earth."
"Really," the big man chuckled, raised his ax and said, "Then I want to see how firm your belief in your goddess is."
Facing the opponent's attack, Hipamilla immediately became solemn. Although she was a little naive, she was not stupid. The opponent was obviously extremely powerful. It was impossible for her to win alone, even with the addition of mountains and rivers. She
We must find a way to hold on until Medisa and the others arrive for support.
The big man was about to take action, but suddenly he took a step back, and with a soft clang, an arrow burning with pale flames was inserted into the position where he originally stood.
That place was originally a marble floor, but the arrow not only stabbed into the ground steadily, but even now, its tail feathers are still shaking, which shows how powerful it is.
The big man raised his head and saw three more women in the sky.
Or rather, a female creature——
It was more like three female armors, riding on white Pegasus. The Pegasus stood in the air with four legs on the wind. Under the female armor, white flames rose and rolled, forming a human body. Under the wing helmet, the position of the eyes
It was particularly bright, like a pair of stars. They held long bows made of moonlight, and the arrows on the bowstrings were made of white underworld fire, aiming at him condescendingly.
"Valkyrie?"
The big man was extremely surprised. This was a legendary existence. He never dreamed that he would see it here.
"Okay," a bright light flashed in the big man's eyes. He raised his ax and said, "I have long heard that the Valkyries are real warriors. They are born for fighting. Every move is a fighting instinct. Today, let me
See what the so-called warrior instinct is."
He was full of fighting spirit and was about to take action when he heard a voice from behind: "Stop it, Talie, you, the majestic captain of the Guards Knights, are showing off your power in front of a little girl. Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
The big man was startled slightly and turned around. He found a person walking out of the shadows in the hall. His long green hair looked particularly dazzling in the darkness. His calm eyes contained vast wisdom and were like clear emeralds.
"Veronica?"
He saw other people standing behind the female regiment leader, the owner of the Mehotofen Principality, the head of the Kirk family, Grand Duke Mosaic Leaf and his eldest son, the elder of the noble council, Grid. Freeland of the Wallen family
The Archduke, Duke Cecil, and...
The old man's figure was already a little stooped, but his temperament was still as majestic as the empire itself.
When he saw the old man, he almost kneeled down on one knee and saluted subconsciously.
In the era of Emperor Grantot, some people said that the emperor represented the will of the empire, but there was one person who represented the majesty of the empire, and that was Prime Minister Niedwin.
Although he has left the political arena for many years, you can still see in him the style of the era when the empire was at its most powerful.
He doesn't need to open his mouth. He is already a living legend in his own right.
Some people hate him, those are the aristocratic forces affiliated with the Temple of Fire who have lost power in the power struggle.
Some people respect him. They are veterans of the empire. They have witnessed an era and witnessed their glory as soldiers.
Although Talier, the captain of the Knights of the Guard, was not promoted by him, in the era of Prime Minister Niedwin, he was only the lowest captain level figure, and he was already familiar with the great man's illustrious reputation.
He did not dare to speak to the old prime minister, so he could only ask Veronica: "Veronica, are you planning to leave?"
"Leaving this place means betraying Her Majesty the Queen." Veronica sighed: "But now I have to do it, Talier."
"What do these guys outside have to do with you?" The leader of the Guards Knights frowned and asked: "These people are not from the Empire. I saw at least Faenzan and Elves among them. There is also Buga.
Man’s war machine.”
"Don't worry, Talier," Veronica replied: "We will not betray the empire to outsiders. As for these little guys outside..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face——
Who would have thought that fate would be so wonderful. She and that little guy from Eruin had just met each other in the Ring of Trade Winds, and even had a hostile relationship. But because of her kind thoughts, she didn't expect that one day she would really
You will benefit from this initial appreciation.
Although she knew Brando's purpose of coming to the empire, in her heart, she still believed that she owed him a huge favor.
"This little guy who likes to cause trouble is causing more and more trouble."
She couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.
"Well, I respect your choice," the leader of the Guards Knights raised the ax in his hand: "Ms. Veronica, but if you want to leave here, you must first ask my old buddy."
"Are you serious?" Veronica couldn't help but shook her head: "Tariye?"
"Of course, can't you see the fighting spirit burning in my chest?"
"Really?" At this time, a cold voice suddenly intervened: "It is indeed the courage of the empire, then you should be ready -"
At this time, the head of the Guards Knights saw another person next to Veronica. He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Sydney Holy See...?"
The last one to walk out was the statue of the Saint from the Lion Palace. She had a cold face as always, glanced at the knight leader, and replied:
"I brought these people here, and now I want to take them away. Do you have any objections, Tariye?"
"I, I..." The leader of the Guards Knights seemed to have seen a ghost.
"Why, do you want to ask your old buddy too?"
"Well, of course it's not necessary," the captain of the Guards Knights coughed, "I suddenly remembered something..."
At this time, he already knew in his heart that there must be a secret passage in the Castle of Tuscany. This secret was not considered a secret to Sidney and Walla, who were once at the top of the empire.
"What are you thinking of? Is there another famous lady from the imperial capital waiting for you? Why, where did the burning fighting spirit in your chest go?" Sidney asked inhumanely.
The leader of the Guards Knights looked troubled and could not help but ask for help from Veronica. But the latter just pretended not to see it, and he had no choice but to beg: "Just let me go, teacher...
"
"Okay. I don't mean to embarrass you, you can go." Sidney replied.
The big man felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly bowed to the old prime minister, then picked up his ax and ran out of the ruins.
Facing this scene, the people present could not help but laugh, but there was no strange look on their faces. Who didn't know that the leader of the Guards Knights was once the proud student of the Saint of the Lion Palace.
"Ms. Sidney," Grand Duke Huaye said at this time: "Take me to express my gratitude to your friend Eruin. The Kirk family owes this Earl a favor."
Grid and Grand Duke Freeland also expressed their stance. With them taking the lead, other rescued nobles joined in, but Duke Cecil was the only one in the crowd who remained silent.
Of course, this is not because he and Brando have a murderous grudge, but because the Cecil family has always been a vassal of the Temple. Sidney has privately told him about Brando's current relationship with the Temple, so
It doesn't matter whether he expresses his opinion or not.
However, this statement of the nobles was basically meaningless to the Saint Statue of the Lion Palace. However, when the eldest son of Grand Duke Huaye asked if his sister had arrived in the imperial capital, the former gained a little understanding.
The response was a nod.
Then she said to Veronica: "Right now, Mr. Brando is attracting the attention of the Silver Queen in Cold Dew Manor. He alone is no match for His Majesty. You come with me to support him."
"No problem." Veronica replied quickly. Of course, she didn't want to see the little guy from Eruin make any mistakes because of her.
"Take me with you, I'll go too." At this time, an old voice suddenly rang.
Everyone turned around in shock and looked at the old prime minister who spoke.
"Your Majesty's mistake is not the fault of any one person," Niedwin said slowly: "All of us should be responsible for this. Take me to see her, and I will convince her to be merciful to your little friend.
"
The female regiment leader looked at Sidney with some uncertainty.
The latter nodded slowly.
"What about the others?"
"Continue to act according to Mr. Brando's original plan," Sidney turned around and said to Shipamilla standing outside: "Miss Shipamilla, please send these people to Rushtasi first.
Face, we——"
At this point, she suddenly stopped talking.
Rustling, rustling. The ground was shaking slightly, and the gravel in the ruins seemed to come alive. It was dancing like it was infused with magic power.
This is……
"There was an earthquake?" was the first thought in everyone's mind.
They immediately rejected the idea.
Because the whole castle shook, the air made a whimpering sound, as if something was vibrating, wave after wave, and obvious ripples appeared in the entire space.
Some small stones actually floated up from the ground and floated into the air. The entire hall seemed to have lost part of its gravity. The stone pillars rattled and broke apart with a crack. The scattered gravel also floated up and suspended in the air.
Veronica's face changed drastically.
On the side, Hipamira also felt that something was making waves in another world, and the changes in the laws actually caused such a huge reaction in the main material world.
What earth-shaking changes are happening on the other side of the world?
What is inspiring?
Sidney suddenly raised his right hand. Everyone saw that on the right hand of this Saint of the Lion Palace, from the wrist to the elbow, golden runes lit up repeatedly, finally forming a mysterious pattern -
—
"This is……"
