Chapter 651: Tortola's Contract (7)
The palace, the residence of the king of a country, is resplendent and majestic, and it is the center of politics and power in a country, but in the Huiyao Empire, only the first few are in line with it, and the last one is empty words, because the real power in this country is only held by the Sanguang Council, and the emperor is just a fictitious position and changes every ten years, so naturally there will be no real power, but the grandeur of the palace is real, after all, it is the residence of the head of the most powerful human kingdom in the Thanris continent in theory, and face is still needed.
However, at this moment, the defense of the palace is quite empty, it was originally a hypocrisy, and now the new emperor has not yet been elected, and there is not even a master, and the demon wants to attack the Sanguang Palace, where the Sanguang Council is located instead of here, so naturally there is no need to strictly guard, so even the royal guards who were originally responsible for guarding here have been transferred to participate in the war, and there is only a team of dozens of people left.
However, although the name of the Royal Praetorian Guard is good, just like the emperor is a fictitious position, the Royal Praetorian Guard of the Radiant Empire is not composed of the most elite soldiers like other countries, but a place for the children of the nobility to boil their qualifications, but the children of the nobles who have a little pursuit do not want to waste time here, so the quality of the Royal Praetorian Guard is quite bad, of course, the equipment is still first-class, after all, there is money and status.
With the outbreak of war, the city defense system was activated, and the magic was not as good as the arcane in attack but it was extremely tough for defense, and the layers of magic enchantments protected all important areas in the first time, including the palace, and several large enchantments covered the entire palace like a glass cover, although there was no demon near the palace and the entire inner city.
A group of Praetorian Guard soldiers climbed the highest platform in the palace to look at the battlefield in the distance, although it was not really clear before dawn, but the fire that seemed to burn everything showed the fierceness of the battle.
"It's a pity that everyone is making meritorious deeds outside, but we can only stay in this hellish place."
One soldier said angrily: "If I can participate in the war, I will definitely be able to make military achievements, and I won't have to be trapped here all the time." ”
"Come on, what about your military exploits, don't forget that you are only the second son, the title of your old man will only be passed on to your brother, and your brother has also participated in the war, his strength can be above you, and his merits will only be greater than yours at that time."
The other person next to him smiled: "So you can save it, isn't it better for us to watch the battle here safely?" What's more, if you don't know what accidents your eldest brother will have, in a war of this scale, it is normal to die a few dukes, but when the time comes, pie will fall from the sky, and the inheritance of the title will be smashed on your head, isn't it beautiful? ”
"Cut, I'm not as unpursued as you ......"
The young nobles were talking and laughing, when they suddenly noticed that the enchantment light curtain on the periphery of the palace fluctuated, just like the calm lake suddenly appeared ripples, and layers of energy vortices surged on the light curtain, as if something was pushing.
"Not good! Friends want to break into the palace! ”
There are also not so bad children among this group of degenerate nobles, or there are always a few relatively tall ones among the short ones, so there is still some vigilance, and he immediately shouted loudly, but it is okay if he doesn't scream, after this call, the young nobles around him were stunned for a moment, and then they exploded all at once.
"What are you kidding, this is not a military place, what is nothing, and even the value of treasures is not comparable to the mansions of those big nobles, which guy has no brains to dare to break into here?"
"Demons! It must be a demon who has killed you, everyone flee for your lives-"
"Demons are not fools, what are you doing here? I think there's a good chance that someone is trying to fish in troubled waters—"
"What are you still in a daze, go do it, isn't this a feat sent to the door!"
"Someone—Someone—send a distress signal to the council—"
All kinds of shouts instantly rang out, some heroic, some cowardly, and some crazy, most of these noble children experienced this kind of thing for the first time, and it was normal for them to be at a loss and frightened for a while.
There were not many people in the entire huge palace at this time, and with the abdication of the previous emperor, even the servants in the palace were greatly reduced, leaving only the personnel to maintain the minimum operation, which seemed empty, and the various shouts of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard echoed in the palace, and even echoed.
This group of noble soldiers scurried around the empty palace like headless flies, some of them were enthusiastic and ready for a battle, and some of them were frightened to hide or plan to escape, and they hurriedly tried to call for help a little calmer, but they were surprised to find that all the communication spells were interfered with.
"Damn, what kind of blind guy would be interested here."
They cursed and shouted, and no one stood up to organize them against the enemy, they may not be badly equipped and strong, but the organization and discipline were far worse.
The fluctuation like the water pattern on the side of the defensive barrier continued, and the barrier was not destroyed but someone directly crossed in, and looking at the scale and duration of the fluctuation, I am afraid that there are still a lot of people.
A few of the more courageous Praetorian Guard soldiers rushed forward with their weapons under the impetus of a moment of enthusiasm, but when they ran to the large square in front of the palace to see who it was, these courages suddenly vanished.
"Evil ...... Demon! ”
Passing through the enchantment and entering the palace area, it was the demons one by one, even if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would recognize their race at the first time when they saw these creatures with red skin and scales.
Several hot-blooded Praetorian Guards were suddenly stunned, threw down their weapons and shouted and fled in all directions, but unfortunately they were one step late, and the next moment several extremely fast demons caught up with them and killed them in an instant.
"It's finally here, the palace of the Radiant Empire."
A secret demon stood in front of the palace gate and said in a demonic voice, "Let's hurry up and get started, the great Lord of Blood is still waiting for our good news." ”
Two more secret demons on both sides walked up and said, "The entrance to the place of origin is inside the palace, so we still need a certain amount of time, and the key is to block the news so that humans can't detect our actions." ”
"With me, not even the legend will know what's going on here, and there won't be a trace of news leaking out."
An unusually hoarse voice rang out, speaking of a very peculiar-looking demon, with a withered body that stood out among a muscular and strong demon, this demon had a human-like body structure, but had no eyes, and instead was replaced by two green flames, which were extremely strange.
