285 – Turmoil II
Buchak looked at the officers and said solemnly: “His Majesty was murdered. On the orders from Her Highness Empress Susana, I must lead our troops into the imperial palace to guard it. Are you willing to go with me?”
“I wish to serve you, Sir!” The officers were shocked, yet Buchak’s trusted aids were quick to respond.
“I wish to serve you, Sir!” The rest of the officers hesitated for a while, then gritted their teeth and cried out.
In the 1st imperial guard corps, the prestige of Commander Buchak was much higher than that of the Vice-Commander Catalão in the 3rd imperial guard corps. Not many people dared to question and go against his orders.
Under Buchak’s order, the 1st imperial guard corps, without carrying any baggage, swiftly moved towards the imperial palace.
Within the command center of the 2nd imperial guard corps, Commander Cicéron had a gloomy expression. There was a communications crystal in his hand. He paced to and fro inside the command center, looking restless. A bright and alluring face continuously drifted in his mind’s eye. Finally, he heaved a long sigh and made up his mind.
Drums echoed in the barracks of the 2nd imperial guard corps, and numerous warriors poured out to a.s.semble. The high-ranking officers hurried towards the command center.
Suddenly, sounds of fighting broke out in the command center. Before long, officers came out of the command center.
The 2nd imperial guard corps also surged towards the imperial palace.
At this moment, a battle broke out within the barracks of the 4th imperial guard corps. For the sake of their respective masters, former comrades gathered their subordinates and went to fight. Blood and sounds of fighting pervaded the barracks.
The 4 city guard corps outside the city bided their time. Only some minor disturbances broke out in the barracks, which were immediately suppressed.
On the other hand, Yang Feng led the 300 fully armed guards, 2 squads of Wizards, and Eddie’s 500 Sky Knight rank troops to escort Garça and Ulyana to the imperial palace.
“Your Highness, where are you going?” Following a cold voice, Da.s.sault took a 300 special patrolmen from the sword of justice to block the large force in front of him, and stared at Garça in the middle of the crowd.
Da.s.sault erupted with frightening Sacred Swordsman rank qi and locked onto Garça with frightening killing intent. feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, Garça had difficulty breathing, and his eyes flashed with fear.
“Your Highness Garça, His Majesty was a.s.sa.s.sinated in the magic college. As the vice-dean of the magic college, Grandmaster Ian is the most suspicious person. You should return to your mansion. Otherwise, you will be charged with treason and rebellion. By then, even if you are a prince, you will die here today!!” His eyes wide open, Da.s.sault suddenly issued a frightening bellow that, via a mysterious and profound method, penetrated into Garça’s mind.
At this moment, the fear Garça felt gave birth to the idea in his mind that he should return home immediately and await trial.
Yang Feng ordered coldly: “Kill him! All those who stand in the way are to be killed!”
Barros uttered a magic sentence. A magic light enveloped him and the Wizards behind him and an extremely mysterious spirit resonance linked their spirit force together.
Spirit Resonance was one of the most powerful spells of Wizard squads on the Feisuo Plane. After casting Spirit Resonance, the spirit force of Wizards would link together to form extremely wondrous fluctuations of resonance, and, through the power of the Weave, they could conjure level-4 spells as if Legend Wizards.
Barros quickly uttered another magic sentence and instantly unleashed the level-4 spell Fire Dragon. Suddenly, countless fire elemental particles gathered into a frightening, 30-meter-long fire dragon and rushed frenziedly toward Da.s.sault.
Da.s.sault’s face suddenly changed dramatically. He retreated briskly, erupted with frightening peak Sacred Swordsman rank qi, and mercilessly slashed at the terrifying fire dragon.
The dragon was practically split in two due to the terrifying Sacred Swordsman rank qi.
The next moment, the fierce fire dragon that was cut in two pounced at Da.s.sault and swallowed him whole.
The Sacred Swordsman Da.s.sault went up in flames, screamed and struggled in pain, and finally burned to ash.
When the Sacred Swordsman Ca.s.sius saw this, his pupils constricted slightly, and he sighed inside.
The area within 10 meters was the domain of Sacred Swordsmen. Inside that area, a Sacred Swordsman could instakill a Legend Wizard. Similarly, a Sacred Swordsman could be instakilled if they had no level-4 enchanted protective treasure to resist a level-4 spell released by a Legend Wizard.
Apart from G.o.ds, Wizards were the most powerful and n.o.ble existences of the Feisuo Plane. The status of an Archwizard was much higher than that of a Sacred Swordsman.
Similarly, unless they were peerless geniuses who cultivated the most profound, challenging, and powerful secret method. Otherwise, body-tempering Warlocks of the Cangzhi Plane could only compete with Warlocks of other types of the same rank with the help of secret treasures.
The Archwizard of the other magic squad also cast the spell Spirit Resonance, then silently recited an incantation, pointed to the more than 300-strong sword of justice special force, and unleashed the level-4 spell Wintry Maiden’s Breath.
The phantom of a beautiful and enchanting wintry maiden, who appeared to be covered in silver, suddenly appeared. She opened her cherry lips lightly and exhaled slightly.
The white, freezing breath blown from the wintry maiden’s cherry lips swept toward the over 300 sword of justice special patrolmen.
Crack! Crack! Following brittle sounds, the 300 sword of justice special patrolmen, who had Knight rank cultivation bases and upwards, were turned into ice sculptures by the freezing breath.
Garça looked at Yang Feng with a look of fear in the abyss of his eyes.
Da.s.sault was one of the 5 big shots of the sword of justice secret force of the Morrince Empire as well as a respected bigwig of the St. Tulan City. His status was so high that even some greater aristocrats could not compare to him. Such a bigwig was killed by Yang Feng without hesitation. Garça couldn’t help but feel a little cold in his heart from this fierceness and decisiveness.
“Fortunately, he’s on my side!” Garça heaved a slight sigh of relief. Suddenly, a thought surged in his mind and lingered alike a shadow or a nightmare: “What if he betrayed me? Who could stop him then?”
Yang Feng ordered coldly with an indifferent gaze in his eyes: “Continue ahead! Our target is the imperial palace! Anyone to stand in our way is to be killed!”
At Yang Feng’s command, the team made a beeline for the imperial palace.
As they were crossing a block, more than 200 a.s.sa.s.sins suddenly emerged out from the street, aimed the military crossbows in their hands at Garça, and pulled the trigger.
The bolts, as if arrows shot from a bowstring, frantically shot towards Garça.
As long as Garça was dead, any plot would turn into a soap bubble.
A cold glint flashed past Yang Feng’s eyes. He raised a big s.h.i.+eld forged from divine blood steel and, as if swatting mosquitoes, swatted the bolts flying towards Garça away.
Boom!! Suddenly, there was the sound of an explosion and a wall collapsed. Following which, frightening Sacred Swordsman rank qi erupted and an extremely fast sword ray stabbed toward Garça’s head in a flash.
It was an extremely lethal sword strike of a Sacred Swordsman. As Yang Feng had just swung the big s.h.i.+eld to swat the numerous bolts away, he had no time to respond and could only watch the sword stab towards Garça. Unwittingly, despair flashed past the depths of his eyes.
The Lightning Sacred Swordsman Ca.s.sius, Earth Sacred Swordsman Magea, Raging Sacred Swordsman Lucero, the 3 Sacred Swordsmen had brandished their swords to block the military crossbow bolts. As such, they had no time to protect Garça.
If Garça was killed, then no matter how strong Yang Feng was, it would be already amazing if he could escape the St. Tulan City in one piece. Everything that he built these days would be destroyed.
Just then, an ordinary-looking guard next to Garça stepped forward. He immediately erupted with the aura of a great scholar. In a split second, he broke out with frightening Sacred Swordsman rank qi and sent a sword ray of his own to parry the fearsome swords strike of the enemy.
Ding!! Following a clear sound, the guard next to Garça briskly took 7 or 8 steps back. The a.s.sa.s.sin who performed the fearsome sword strike only retreated by 2 steps.
The a.s.sa.s.sin wrapped in black cloth – with only his eyes exposed – appeared in front of everyone.
Yang Feng barked: “Barros, kill him!!”
Before his words fell, Yang Feng uttered a magic sentence and conjured the level-3 spell Psyche Hammer in a flash. Magic light fell onto the a.s.sa.s.sin covered in black cloth.
The a.s.sa.s.sin emitted magic light of his own and resisted the offensive of the level-3 spell Psyche Hammer. Clearly, he had a magic equipment.
With his strike thwarted, the a.s.sa.s.sin’s figure flashed and he shot into a room lightning-fast.
With 4 Sacred Swordsmen and 2 Wizard squads standing guard, even if the a.s.sa.s.sin was far stronger than an ordinary Sacred Swordsman, he still stood no chance.
Yang Feng ordered coldly: “Fire Dragon!”
Barros instantly uttered a series of magic sentences and pointed to the room. A 30-meter-long fire dragon burst out and shot towards the room.
Boom!! Flames instantly took over the room, burning fiercely.
Yang Feng silently recited an incantation and pointed at the flames. Suddenly, a hurricane emerged and blew the flames to engulfed the houses where the a.s.sa.s.sins were.
