Vlad's voice was extremely loud, resounding throughout the square, hammering into everyone's hearts every word.
In particular, the eyes of those generals who had done stupid things out of self-interest began to wander, and the fear rising in their hearts bent their waists like a huge force and broke through their strong hearts.
Under Vlad's aggressive gaze and words, Patrol Group Captain Kylo Ren finally no longer dared to look at him and lowered his head to show submission.
Vlad looked around and saw that all the city guard generals lowered their heads and became more and more respectful. He knew that he had temporarily subdued these rebellious guys, but today he was just taking advantage of the situation. It doesn't take much effort to use the general situation to suppress people.
But after all, the general trend is not our own.
He knew that many of these people looked down on him, especially because of the spread of the rumors by thoughtful people. He was not taken seriously by His Majesty in the capital city, his relationship with the princess and prince was tense, his demon bloodline had not been awakened, etc. Some of the upper-class people basically knew all about these things.
People may not admit that he is strong, and they may not be willing to surrender after tonight.
At this moment, a black-haired general who was kneeling on the ground jumped up from the ground, and stabbed Vlad's heart with the bright steel sword in his hand.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone present off guard. They never expected that the city guards kneeling on the ground would dare to openly assassinate His Highness the Prince.
Vlad felt locked by a strong energy, and he was stunned in place. Only the tip of the sword with a cold light in his pupils was getting closer and closer.
Almost at the same time, the figure's hands and feet were bound by black threads that appeared one after another, preventing the figure from taking a step forward, even if he roared and struggled hard.
Steward Oceanus and Archbishop Saruman released dark magic almost simultaneously to trap the assassin.
The tauren Tuomu and the dwarf Andre quickly stood in front of Vlad.
Vlad finally came to his senses. When he came back to his senses, he felt chills running down his spine. Unconsciously, cold sweat started to form on his back. He secretly clenched his fists, hoping to calm down his nervous and fearful mood.
Fortunately, Vlad had already lost trust in the city guards, so he brought Oceanus, Archbishop Saruman, a five-star wizard, a six-star wizard, Tuoom, the dwarf Andre, and a four-star wizard with him.
Star Demon Fighter, a five-star demon fighter.
Vlad took them with him not simply to take advantage of the situation, but more because he was worried about the city guards.
Vlad looked at the man who was bound by dark witchcraft and was struggling. He had an extremely crazy and twisted face, looking at him with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive. However, Vlad did not think that he and him
There has never been any holiday.
At this moment, another figure jumped up, followed by a second and a third!
"You dare?"
Before anyone had time to react, three steel swords had already pierced the assassin whose hands and feet were bound.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the restrained assassin fell to the ground crookedly. The blood from his mouth and heart spurted out like spring water, constantly taking away the assassin's vitality.
"Plop!" The assassin fell to the ground, and the steel sword in his hand slipped. The sharp metallic sound of the steel sword colliding with the black stone finally brought everyone back to their senses.
The man was lying on the ground twitching continuously, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. At the same time, the dazzling red color on the ground began to spread.
...
Vlad shouted, "Don't move, otherwise we will kill you without mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tauren warriors drew out their weapons and restrained the city guard general who was about to make a move.
"Toom, bring someone to catch them!"
Vlad pointed to the three generals who jumped up. It was these three people who killed the assassin.
The three generals looked at each other, threw away their swords without hesitation, and all knelt on the ground. The leader said loudly, "Your Highness, this person is Gaia Oster, the lieutenant guarding the west gate. We are waiting for the injured."
All he did was protect His Highness."
"Yes, Your Highness, the situation was urgent and I had no choice but to hurt him!"
…
Vlad was very angry. This assassin named Gaia Oster has been controlled. Do you still need to take action?
Anyone who is not a fool would know that this is murder and silence, but it is extremely stupid to do so unscrupulously in public.
Tuoom walked up to the three of them without saying a word and punched each one, finally making the three of them stop.
Although Vlad was very angry, he had not lost his mind yet. He turned to Archbishop Saruman and said, "Mr. Saruman, please see if he can be saved?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Saruman quickly stepped forward and began to examine Gaia Oster, who was lying on the ground twitching.
The three people also looked at Saruman nervously, staring at the body lying on the ground whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, quietly waiting for the result.
Saruman looked embarrassed. After a while, he stood up and shook his head at Vlad, "Your Highness, he is hopeless. Three vital parts have been completely damaged, especially the heart, which has been shattered by the demonic fighting spirit."
The three people who were originally nervous breathed a sigh of relief.
Vlad turned his head and looked at the three of them angrily, and said after a while, "You are so cruel and ruthless, you just throw away the chess pieces when you have used them up."
The leader asked curiously, "What do you mean, Your Highness? What chess piece?"
Vlad naturally had no intention of talking nonsense with these three people, but said to Tuomu, "Take them down, interrogate them properly, um, take them back to the Lord's Mansion."
All three of them shouted that they were wronged, "Your Highness, why do you want to arrest us? We are innocent and we are here to protect you."
...
Under the escort of the tauren warriors, the three people were tied up and escorted back to the lord's mansion.
Vlad turned to look at the city guard officer kneeling on the ground and said loudly, "Do any of you have anything to say?"
For a long while, there was no response.
Vlad shook his head and walked towards Illyrio, the commander of the city guard army. "Can you admit that the army was not strictly run, that the army was derelict in its duties, and that the subordinates rebelled?"
Illyrio raised his head again, and the falcon's eyes were no longer as sharp as before, with a vague look of defeat. "My subordinates are indeed responsible for dereliction of duty and lax governance, but they are definitely not responsible for rebellion..."
Vlad waved his hand and interrupted, "You are not smart, and I am not as stupid as you think!"
Illyrio's face became increasingly gloomy and he lowered his head for a while.
Illyrio learned that the newly appointed lord, the prince, was assassinated not far from the west gate. On the one hand, he was shocked that someone dared to assassinate the prince, but on the other hand, he felt that something might be wrong.
Immediately afterwards, the people sent by Vlad informed him to gather all the officers. He knew that he might not be able to escape punishment, but he always believed that the matter could be restored, even if His Highness was assassinated.
At most, he was negligent in his duties. Even if he was negligent, the lieutenant guarding the west gate would be primarily responsible. He could have escaped unscathed.
Moreover, with his qualifications, it was not something that a young boy could manipulate at will. Unexpectedly, when Vlad entered the city gate, he began to attack the enemy and seized the opportunity. His words and deeds were completely different from the rumored dandy good-for-nothing prince.
Unexpectedly, the lieutenant guarding the west gate dared to assassinate Vlad in public. This man was probably crazy. He wanted to kill the city guards and Illyrio!
Vlad continued, "Take him down."
Everyone who was kneeling on the ground looked shocked when they saw Illyrio being stripped of his weapons and armor like a prisoner, stripped of his clothes and roughly tied up and taken away.
Vlad said to the female general of dark elf blood who had just replied, "General Sophia, from now on you will be the commander of the city guard army."
Surprise flashed in Sophia's eyes.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Andre, the dwarf patriarch, now officially appoints you as the deputy commander of the city guard, and you will take office immediately."
Although he is not the Lord of the Heroic City that Vlad promised, being the deputy commander of the City Guards is undoubtedly more in line with Andre's character. Rather than managing all kinds of complicated things, this is obviously more in line with his wishes.
"Deploy elite dwarf warriors, tauren warriors, and some elite city guards to form a military court to take charge of military discipline. If there is collaboration with the enemy, the rebels have the right to act easily."
"The commander of the Old City Guards, Illyrio, and the three people just now are handed over to you for interrogation. You must find out the relationship between them and the assassin who assassinated me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Commander Sophia must fully cooperate."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Vlad walked towards Alex and said, "Alex, now you are officially appointed as the captain of the patrol brigade. Some officers and soldiers from the city guard will be transferred to the patrol brigade. We will clean up the patrol brigade as soon as possible, eliminate all gang forces in the city, and reverse the situation."
The Patrol's reputation in Hero City."
Before Vlad entered the city, he had already planned to weaken the city guards and try to add as much sand as possible to the city guards. He originally planned to arrest all the opponents and find a reason to participate in his assassination.
.
Unexpectedly, someone from the City Guards actually dared to assassinate him in public. This was undoubtedly a scandal for the City Guards. What the City Guards officers and soldiers were most worried about now was that they had something to do with the assassination of Vlad. For Vlad's weakening of the City Guards and adulteration
How dare you object to Shasha's actions?
"General Sophia, patrol as usual tonight, and at the same time send a part of the city guards out of the west gate to look for clues about the assassins, and arrest the two assassins who escaped!"
"Anyone who finds information about the assassin, as long as it is useful, will be promoted to one level. Those who catch the assassin will be promoted to two levels."
