Chapter 250 Ruler
Late at night, the child who was named the Grand Duke held a banquet in the palace as usual. All the monarchs, ministers and lords gathered together. The reason is also to discuss the invasion of elves. "Mom, mom." The leader sat timidly at the long table. Looking at the prince and his ministers drinking and eating barbecue, he felt very uncomfortable sitting with these uncles.
What he wanted was to have fun, go fishing with other kids, and paint with him. Instead of discussing nonsense with these uncles about invasion by foreign enemies. The Grand Duke, who was sitting on pins and needles and had not even finished the glass of juice, turned his head in fear and looked at his mother beside him for help. The latter simply places the index finger in front of the mouth to indicate silence. Then he ignored the young child and frowned at the guards who were responsible for protecting them. "It's strange, why are the people standing guard today not the palace guards, but Alfred's people?"
She looked around solemnly at these knights in white sheep armor, feeling uneasy for a while. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and asked Alfred, who was chatting and laughing with other lords and wearing armor, "My Lord Earl! Do you know where my guards have gone?" This loud shout caused the originally noisy hall to instantly change. calm down. Lords, look at me, and I'll look at you. All said nothing. Alfred was being watched by everyone at the moment, but he leisurely picked up the wine glass and drank the red wine, and smiled without looking back: "What about you?"
"Don't kid me! Alfred, what do you want to do?" She stood up suddenly and threw the wine glass in her hand to the ground. However, in the face of such questioning, Alfred just laughed secretly. She gently squeezed out a few words from her lips: "The eagle is going to wear a crown of white orchids, dear madam." "What?" The madam who didn't react at once didn't wait to ask. The magic lights that originally illuminated the entire hall suddenly went out in an instant. Darkness immediately enveloped the hall!
"What happened!" "Protect the Grand Duke!" Some lords immediately stood up and shouted in shock, but Alfred, who was sitting calmly, took another sip of red wine. Those cold eyes looked directly at Kalechi who was ready on the opposite side. The latter could clearly feel Alfred's gaze. The horse stood up, pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Protect the Duke! There are assassins!" As soon as he finished speaking, the granite on his head suddenly exploded with a roar. Everyone looked up and saw five figures jumping down from behind. The cold light reflected from the blade in the hand made everyone immediately nervous!
Seeing this, the party members who knew the plan before, as well as Kalechi and others immediately took out a leaf from their arms and pinned it on their chests. This leaf emits faint fluorescence in the dark night. The fallen assassins took a quick look and immediately saw a green leaf emitting green light. The horse can tell who is the target they want to assassinate. "Quick! Protect the Grand Duke! Where are you, Grand Duke!"
Kalechi ignored the lords who were out of control. Guards gathered around him with swords drawn in their hands, glaring at him and shouting questions. At this time, the mother and daughter were living in the darkness and felt that their lives were threatened. The mother couldn't trust anyone. Hearing Kalechi's shouts and questions, he didn't answer. Instead, he covered the child's mouth with one hand to prevent him from making any sound, then he bent down and moved slowly toward the exit.
Just listen to the sound of cutting flesh. Those lords who did not wear green leaves were attacked by assassins. The lord, who was in chaos but without any guards to rescue him, was shaken and a bloody gash opened in his neck. Blood spurted out with a squeaking sound! "Ahhhhh!" After hearing this scream, the room began to regain its calm. Kalechi, who was staring in the dark night with his men and assassins, couldn't find him no matter how hard he searched, and suddenly he had a plan in mind. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Grand Duke is dead! The Grand Duke is dead!"
"No, I'm not dead!" The child subconsciously argued at the top of his voice. However, the lady behind her turned pale in an instant and covered the mouth of the young Grand Duke. Unfortunately it was too late, a series of footsteps immediately sounded from both sides. She only felt several people holding knives against her neck. He pushed himself hard against the wall, unable to move. At the same time, those extinguished magic lamps suddenly lit up again. There was a trance in front of my eyes. Then she heard her son's miserable cry: "Mom!"
"No!" I saw Kalechi followed by a large number of knights wearing white sheep armor. He held the Archduke in his hands like a cat. And those assassins used all their strength to suppress Madam. At this moment, looking at the child who had been taken hostage, there was also Kalech with a ferocious look on his face. The Aries Knight looked on coldly. The indifferent lords and ministers standing nearby. There were also other lords lying staggering in a pool of blood. Especially Alfred, who is still sitting there, drinking red wine and cutting beef on the dinner plate!
"Alfred! What do you want to do! Do you know that this will cause a war? Will this cause the wrath of the Engelland Empire? You are setting yourself on fire! You are setting yourself on fire!" Alfred silently put down his wine glass and raised it slightly Raise your finger. Kalech used his strength and broke the archduke's neck with a click, then threw his body to the ground like garbage! "No!" The lady let out a scream, shouting with hatred and despair: "Kill me! Kill me! Why don't you kill me!"
Alfred glanced at the assassins surrounding his wife, and suddenly laughed sinisterly. He swung his hand violently. These assassins were suddenly shocked, and their necks immediately split open with a bloody streak. They all fell to the ground with a crash. "Ah?" The madam, whose face was full of tears, looked at this blankly and had not yet reacted. But he immediately saw that under the fallen mask of the assassin who was killed by Alfred with a wave of his hand, he actually had long light green hair and long ears! This assassin turned out to be an elf!
For a moment, a crazy idea suddenly echoed in Madam's mind. Madam, who vaguely guessed the conspiracy, stared at the indifferent Alfred and shouted in a heart-breaking voice: "Madman! You are a madman! You are going to drag the principality to be buried with you!" "Rest in peace, madam. Your son I'm waiting for you." Kalechi stabbed his wife in the stomach with a cruel smile. Watching her slowly sit on the ground, her face became paler and paler, and finally she lost all breath.
Soon after, a piece of news spread across the mainland. The despicable and evil elves sneaked into the palace of the Principality of Kasmi and assassinated many ministers, the Grand Duke and his mother on the spot. Earl Alfred and the guards resisted with all their strength. Although they killed these assassinating elves, they could not be resurrected. Although the whole country was mourning the death of its leader, after reciting the Bible, the seventh heir, Lord Alfred, became the Grand Duke as a matter of course. But the Engelland Empire was very serious in opposing it.
Because although this order is correct, according to the law, it is indeed the only remaining Alfred who should inherit the grand dukedom. But Alfred's original surname was Flamel. Then he married into the White Orchid family and became the Earl of White Orchid. Now that he is the Grand Duke, this principality is no longer the territory they have been granted in a strict sense! Because the territory they sealed off was for the Grand Duke's family, but now the Bailanhua surname rules the principality. Then this territory will have nothing to do with them. Even Alfred wants to be the king. As long as the church is crowned, then he will be the real king of a country!
Naturally, the empire does not want to see such a thing. But whether it was threats or inducements, Alfred would not accept this trick. He was so arrogant that when the elves army was about to arrive, he was the first among the southern countries to stand up and lead the resistance! Due to this performance, the Holy See, which urgently needs a leader to mobilize various countries to resist the elves, would be perfect. As a result, differences of opinion arose between the Empire and the Church. The two parties continued disputes and negotiations, but to no avail. One side valued territory, the other valued heresy. There is no way this can be a compromise.
So, when the new Grand Duke Alfred declared war on the elves, other countries that had previously received benefits promised by the church saw a leader. Finally, I no longer sit back and watch. Immediately, armies were raised one after another, divided into armies of the seven countries and rushed to the forest of mist!
At this moment, in the forest of Herlit Tower thousands of miles away. The ice mage Nasura was sitting on the bedside, looking at the woman she loved, Adela, on the bed, silently. At this time, Anthony walked in quietly from behind the door, looked at the sleeping Adela, gently patted Nasura on the shoulder and said: "It's time, let's go." "Where's Hong?" "Already Bring it." "Well, I'll be there in a minute." Nasura said, silently looking at his lover again, finally sighed, stood up and picked up the wand. Turn over and leave, closing the door quietly. . To be continued. .
