Late at night.
Qianmian was glad that her skills hadn't deteriorated.
When she was still a member of the Court of Heresy, she had once held the position of Chief Justice.
Coupled with the fact that the Dark Elves were a race that had maxed out their stealth, the Dark Elves could now easily sneak into the castle in the middle of the Land of Frost.
The Dark Elf landed on a suspended ceiling of the castle. Cheil and a few commanders of the stronghold were in the hall below.
Cheil didn't want to start a war inside the capital, so he used the captured guards as a channel of communication, hoping to enter the capital and personally mediate the dispute with the king.
Her choice was tantamount to tying her hands and letting the enemy trample on her. The soldiers following Cheil also tried their best to dissuade the prince from choosing this dangerous plan.
But Cheil still insisted on going to the capital alone to tell the king about "what the Court of Heresy is doing in the Land of Frost."
In the end, the soldiers and generals from the stronghold could only reluctantly accept Cheil's plan. They then swore in front of Cheil that if the prince doesn't return safely, we will break through the gates of the capital.
"It seems that I should add that she is a king who cares about the people?"
While hiding in the shadows of the castle, the Dark Elf communicated with Josiah via text message.
Josh had also participated in this plan. She had recorded everything from Shay's defeat of the city guards to his decision to give up resistance for the safety of the people in the Royal Capital.
"It's up to you, but the most important thing right now is that you have to ensure the prince's safety," Josh replied quickly.
Even though I haven't been an assassin for a while, my skills haven't deteriorated.
The Dark Elf replied to Josiah not to underestimate her. Then, she followed the shadows of the castle and walked into the hall.
The situation in the capital of the Land of Frost was just as the Dark Elf had expected. The place was filled with the aura of the Nephilic Judges. It could be said that the entire castle had become the Nephilic Judges' nest.
When Cheil was escorted by a group of soldiers to the main hall of the castle.
"Don't worry, I'm by your side."
The Dark Elf sent a message to Cheil.
After receiving the message, Cheil walked straight into the main hall of the castle.
The judges did not underestimate this prince who controlled the power of frost. They carved a large number of defensive inscriptions on the ground of the castle.
The Dark Elves even saw the "soundproof" inscription between the throne and Cheil.
It seemed that Cheil's possession of a 'banshee' was already known to the judges.
Cheil stood in front of the king and the ministers of the Land of Frost.
"Cheil, you disappoint me." The king sighed deeply and said.
"Disappointed? Your Majesty! Don't you know what the judges from the Holy Kingdom did to our country? "
Cheil glanced at the ministers present. Some of them, who were stared at by Cheil, turned their heads away guiltily.
"Is this what the demon told you, Cheil?" When the king said this, the soldiers behind Cheil tried to force Cheil to kneel.
"Demon? I understand. "
Cheil was hoping that the king had not been replaced, but at this moment, Cheil understood that words were meaningless.
She sent a thumbs-up emoticon of an owl in the chat with the Dark Elves. In the next second, a crystal fell slowly from above the castle.
The defense of this castle was indeed very good. No matter what Cheil did, they could control Cheil immediately.
It was a pity that they had missed an important factor.
The moment the Primordial Crystal fell, the shrill screams of the Banshees reverberated throughout the hall.
The place where the crystal fell was completely outside of the soundproof inscription. Both the king and the ministers standing on it enjoyed the care of the banshees.
The Dark Elf took out her longbow and nocked a few arrows that had the effect of dispelling magic on the bowstring. She released the arrow and destroyed the defensive magic circle engraved on the ground. Then, she tossed Shay's longsword to her.
"Who … are you …"
A "minister" who was covering his ears noticed the Dark Elf's appearance. From his surprised expression, this "minister" must be very confident in his senses.
"A reporter." The Dark Elf pulled down his hood, a friendly smile on his face.
But in the next second, the arrow pierced through the magic inscription the "minister" created and went through his head.
On the other side, Cheil broke free of the shackles on his hands. He held the sword and walked step by step towards the "king" sitting on the throne.
The surrounding soldiers recovered from the banshee's screams and wanted to rush forward to stop Cheil.
But the rising frost on the ground stopped the soldiers in their tracks.
A cold aura spread from Cheil's body.
"What … what are you doing?!"
The "king" seemed to want to resist, but the banshee's screams made him hold his forehead in pain.
Frost covered the king's body. The cold aura began to flow into his body, making him lose his ability to resist.
"End this."
Cheil grabbed the "king" by the collar and lifted him up. Then, she used the sword in her hand to pierce through his chest.
By the time Cheil pulled the sword out, the "king" had already fallen to the ground. The banshee's screams also gradually disappeared.
After doing all this, Cheil looked back at the chaotic hall. She couldn't find the Dark Elf anymore.
"Are you still there?" Cheil called out tentatively.
No one replied to Xie Yer, but a new message popped up in the chat.
"The banshee's screams affected me a little too much. Also, like I said before, the king ran away after revealing his true form."
Ran away … Cheil turned back to look at the "king" on the ground.
The sword wasn't enough to kill him, and the crystal that recorded the banshee's screams had already been destroyed.
Cheil felt a few strong forces in the main hall …
Was this the chief judge mentioned in the Diary of the Heresy Judge?
Cheil didn't stay in the main hall for long. After assassinating the king, Cheil listened to the Dark Elf's advice and chose to escape!
Even though Cheil couldn't defeat the two chief judges, escaping was not a problem.
With the help of the Dark Elf, Cheil successfully escaped from the castle and met up with the Dark Elf on an inconspicuous street outside the castle.
"You look pale," Cheil said.
"It's okay, I'll recover soon." The Dark Elf rubbed her forehead. The banshee's screams were very destructive to the judges, but the sound that rang in her ears had healed the effects of the screams.
The Dark Elf wasn't listening to Taylin's song, but a recording of Princess Diana's voice …
"I didn't think the capital of our country would be completely controlled by the judges." Cheil shuddered as she recalled what happened in the main hall.
Not only was the king a judge in disguise, but the ministers were also substitutes.
