Thank you to Hua Xia's Little Fire for adding a branch leader yesterday. Today's addition is still for him. In addition, thank you to Big Brother Xiang, Su in the Flames of War, Z Taotian, and the other brothers for your support!
The guard only had a standard longsword in his hand. Indeed, this sword could be said to be excellent. It was made of superior steel and forged to be extremely sharp. Otherwise, it would not have become the sword of the King's Sword Personal Guard. Right now, the sword was showing its most dazzling brilliance since it came out of the furnace. Flames erupted from the inside out. The longsword was burning, and the flames were also deep. At the core of the burning sword was a blazing white, then it transitioned to a light yellow in the middle, and then to an orange-red on the periphery. The flames on the sword were like snakes swimming dragons, and the atmosphere was solemn. It was like a comet flame tail streaking across the sky in summer, piercing towards Tangerio's back!
The Great Emperor's cloak ignited without fire. With the direction of the sword as the origin, a circle of flames burned and spread.
Tangerio's mind flashed with lightning.
The lightning rage in Foron's hand, the lurking Rebian, and the mysterious guard who had suddenly betrayed him, all of this was strung together at this moment. Tangerio finally knew that all of this was for the sake of this sword strike in front of him!
He turned around and faced the flaming sword that had turned into a sword that was slashing towards his chest.
Rebian's pupils contracted. Black dark flames, dark purple lightning, indigo frost, and dark green mist surged out from behind him. They mixed together to form a chaotic Origin Energy storm. The storm pushed Rebian towards Tangerio. The two daggers in the Grand Warlord's hands dragged along the frost, wind, and fire, drawing out two tense arcs, stabbing towards the human king in front of him from top to bottom.
Tangerio was surrounded by enemies!
Suddenly, a furious roar soared into the sky, like the roar of the king of all beasts. Every inch of Tangerio's skin emitted a golden light. The Origin Energy radiance was filled with endless tyranny, and there was a faint feeling that everything was suppressed. The comet flames on the mysterious guard's sword and the chaotic storm entangled between Rebian's two blades dimmed in front of the rising sun in the garden. Then, the golden light surged and wrapped around the three of them.
Guard Captain Erin waved his sword and sent a non-human assassin flying. He turned around and looked in the direction of the Great Emperor. The dazzling light made him squint his eyes. He exhausted his eyesight, but all he could see was a sea of strange and dazzling colors, as well as the endless loud noises that filled his ears.
The tide of light slowly retracted, and Erin finally managed to see the three figures.
The cloak on Tangerio's body had already been burned by the fire. He was holding a broken sword in his hand, and the flames on the sword were still extinguished. The broken part of the sword fell to the ground and melted into molten iron. A drop of blood dripped from the gap between the Great Emperor's fingers. It dripped onto the charred ground and instantly evaporated.
The ground that was originally paved with grass now had a scorched area of more than a hundred square meters. There were still red flames leaping and purple lightning flashing on the charred ground. And Tangerio stood in the middle of the scorched earth, standing firm.
With a shrill cry, Rebian was sent flying backward. While in midair, his metal arm suddenly expanded until it was the size of a cow's arm. Then, it exploded with a loud bang. Countless burning metal fragments splashed everywhere and fell like rain. The Outsider Overseer slid towards a fountain a hundred meters away. With a light tap of his toes, the fountain stone sculpture collapsed from top to bottom, and he borrowed the force to turn in the direction of the other palaces.
As soon as Rebik left, the remaining assassins didn't dare to stay and fled one after another. However, they weren't Rebik after all, and the King's Swords didn't intend to let them go, so there was another chase.
At this moment, a faint howl came from outside the garden. Several powerful auras surged over, as if a few experts guarding the palace were rushing over at high speed.
Tangerio and the mysterious guard looked at each other. No one said anything, and the atmosphere was extremely strange. Suddenly, the guard turned around and flew away. His escape route was actually towards Victorious Return Palace. At this moment, Allen just happened to run out of the back door of Triumph Palace. After a few turns, he arrived at the collapsed corridor and saw a person dressed in the King's Sword personal guard's attire coming towards him. That person's aura was enormous and carried a hint of heat. How could an ordinary guard possess such strength? The flame marks on Allen's body lit up, but at this moment, Tangerio shouted, "Don't stop him!"
Since the Great Emperor had spoken, how could Allen dare to stop him? He could only withdraw his Origin Energy and retreat sideways. The man passed by him and turned his head to look. The two azure eyes on his helmet contained too much meaning. After not glancing at him, he changed directions again, bypassing Triumph Palace and crashing into a small forest, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
Only then did Allen return to his senses and half-kneel beside Tangerio. Suddenly, two figures jumped in from behind the palaces on the east and west sides and rushed to the charred ground of the garden. As soon as they saw Tangerio, they knelt down and shouted in unison, "We are late. Please punish us, Your Majesty!" Allen looked at the two of them. The one on the left was dressed in gold-plated scale armor and a crimson cloak. He was holding a long-horned helmet in one hand, and his head was buried deep in the ground, making it impossible to see his face. The one on the right was dressed in light blue armor. There were silver patterns on the armor that depicted ice and snow crystals. Two short silver-gray cloaks hung down from the shoulder armor, and two long sabers crossed on his back. This person was younger, but he was also around thirty years old.
The aura on these two people's bodies was incomparably vigorous, and the Origin Energy that naturally dissipated from their bodies was dazzling, not much inferior to Tangerio's. Allen was secretly speechless. There was actually such a strong person in the palace, but he didn't know about it before.
"Sarah, Leen. Get up. A lot has happened today, and I don't have the strength to punish you. I'll leave the matters here to you. I'll go back to the Monarch Descent Palace first. " Tangerio finally let go of the sword in his hand. The broken sword fell to the ground and turned into ashes. There was a deep bloody groove between the Great Emperor's palms, causing the two men kneeling on the ground to tremble, but they didn't know if they were angry or afraid.
Tanglio looked at Ellen again, but without saying anything, he raised his foot and left. After he left, the silver-armored expert suddenly hammered the ground with both hands. The surrounding charred ground suddenly cracked, and dust and smoke sprayed out several meters high from the cracks. He stood up and said through gritted teeth, "I actually let His Majesty get injured, this is simply my humiliation. That outsider expert's aura was extremely chaotic. It should be one of the three Great Warlords, Rubik. But who is the other one? "
"I don't know either, but Reon, protecting His Majesty is my responsibility, so your so-called shame should be placed on me." The golden-scaled middle-aged expert also stood up, and only then did Allen see his appearance clearly. He had a sharp face, thick eyebrows raised, and his eyes were sharp, filled with a resolute aura. He hammered his chest armor hard, "His Majesty was attacked, and I, as a personal guard commander, am really not qualified."
At this time, Julian also rushed over from Triumph Palace. When he saw the two men, he said angrily, "Commander Sara, and Commander Reon, where did you go? Such a big thing happened, and you only appeared now! "
The silver-armored expert named Reon smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, it's a long story."
When he left the palace, Allen discovered that the number of Silverfrost Guards had more than doubled. Of course, when he thought of what had happened today, it was only natural that the commander of the Silverfrost Guards, Reon, would make such an arrangement. In the garden, although the two commanders had only said a few simple words, behind those few words, there was a shocking conspiracy hinted at.
It turned out that the two commanders had received orders from the Great Emperor today and had left the palace early. Surprisingly, the two commanders, Sara and Reen, had served the Great Emperor for many years, so how could they not recognize Tangerio's handwriting? That was why they did not have any suspicions. When they heard that the palace had been attacked by foreign assassins, they didn't rush back, but they were delayed by a lot of time because of the journey.
Now that he thought about it, it was clear that the two orders were forged. The purpose was to divert the two experts in the palace away, so as to create an opportunity for Rebian and the mysterious guard to make a move. Then what was going on with Tangerio's handwriting? Who had deliberately imitated the Great Emperor's handwriting in order to lay the groundwork for today's action?
This person was definitely very close to Tangerio. Otherwise, how could he be so familiar with the Great Emperor's handwriting that even the two commanders couldn't see through it? On a deeper level, this person had also coerced Count Fron. The purpose of the Thunder Fury was not to create an explosion, but to make Tangerio leave the palace, thus stepping into the other party's carefully arranged killing trap. However, Tangerio had seen through Rubik's ambush first, causing a flaw in this perfect killing trap. Otherwise, if the Great Emperor didn't notice it and waited for Rubik to take the initiative to attack, the mysterious guard would stab him at a critical moment. Tangerio might really die today.
This step was the difference between heaven and hell.
Allen thought about it carefully afterwards. This killing trap could be said to be intertwined. If this wasn't a conspiracy, then what was?
Two days later, Julian and Allen arrived at a study in the Monarch's Descent Palace. In the study, Tangerio was flipping through a book. Allen glanced at the words' Knight's Travels' on the cover page. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the Great Emperor didn't raise his head. He was still reading the book and said, "When I was young, I liked to read this kind of travel book the most. I often fantasized that I was a free Knight, going wherever I wanted. At that time, Mason often laughed at me for dreaming. He said that as long as I had the royal blood in my body, I wouldn't be able to travel freely. That's why I sometimes envy the Ten Saints. They're much freer than me. "
"Father, how about your body?" Julian asked in a low voice.
Tangerio put down his book and raised his head. "Rubik's two slashes didn't kill me, but he told me to twist off one of his arms," he said calmly. "But that monster will soon get a new arm for himself. It just needs time to get used to it."
"It wasn't just Repian who attacked you that day."
"That's right. I thought about it for two days and decided to tell you who that person was."
At this moment, the door to the study was pushed open. Prime Minister Nabott, Sarah, and Len filed in. When they saw Julian and Allen, they nodded slightly and greeted them. Then, they bowed to Tangerio together. The Great Emperor waved his hand, telling them not to be restrained. Then, his gaze seemed to fall into a distant place, and he seemed to be at a loss. Tangerio had always been an energetic and focused person, and it was rare for him to be as absent-minded as he was now.
Nabott coughed softly, and the Great Emperor's eyes focused again. His gaze swept across the people in the study and he said in a heavy tone, "I want to tell everyone here that there was another person who attacked me that day besides the Shadow Duchy's Grand Warlord, Rubik."
"Sword Lord, Mason!"
