Chapter 599: The Second Day of the Heavenly Collapse (10)
Amid the chirping of cicadas, startled birds flew up. In the forecourt was a garden, surrounded by streams and small lakes, dotted with flowers and trees.
The sudden outburst of Lucien and others caught people off guard. The deputy commander was so strong that he was injured and dodged the fatal blow. However, several of his subordinates were unlucky, and they all fell in pools of blood. And the eunuch in charge was even more unlucky, because he had become the key target of the demon clan, under the fierce killing moves of several people, he was suddenly beaten out of a ball of minced meat.
It's a pity that it's not like the famous knight novel author Gordon Sage described in the works, the eunuchs are all masters, and there are even martial arts cheats like "Chrysanthemum Treasure Book"!
However, the heavy casualties do not hide the fact that the demons are exposed. Now it was only in the front yard, and there was still a long way to go before the inner courtyard where Chashian was.
And the more than 100 people outside the courtyard who received the magic light flame signal from Lucien also burst out. They also rushed into the gate, and the city defense army was very scattered because they wanted to surround the entire mansion, so they could not resist at the gate at all, and could only send a signal for their companions to come to the rescue.
The Commander was truly brave. In the siege of many demon masters, it can still be resisted. He shouted anxiously: "Quickly activate the magic array, report the news, someone is going to be unfavorable to His Highnessββ!"
This shout immediately alerted the people inside, and someone rushed towards the room where the magic array was controlled. But it also reminded Lucien, who also shouted: "Go to a few people, and they must not be allowed to stir up ββ!"
Several demons took off into the air, flying and following the people who were galloping. And when the man saw that he was chasing closer and closer, he was also shouting hoarsely: "Hurry up! Hurry up ......."
The sound came to an abrupt halt. Several spells struck the man, sending him flying into the air. Feel it a little. The demons sensed that there was a fluctuation of fighting spirit in one room, so several people rushed to that room.
ββ!The door was slammed open. "Whoosh ββ!" at the same time as crashing away. Hundreds of bolts and magic shot out. This sudden ambush caught the demons off guard, and the two people who were in the lead were suddenly shot into hedgehogs, and only the few people who fell back retreated again and again, quickly blessed the shield to dodge, and they were able to dodge this round of deadly shots.
"There's an ambush!" one of the demons shouted urgently.
But the other demon clan was calmer: "This is a protective defense." This house is the right one, it must be here. After one round of shooting, it's gone, let's ...... Follow me!"
In fact, such a judgment is quite risky. Although this is indeed a defensive measure to protect the magic hub of the Prince's Mansion, who can be sure that there will be a few rounds, so the demon who made the judgment can only take the lead. Risking it yourself.
Maybe today is really a lucky day for the demons, and there is indeed only one round of defense at the door. After breaking into the house, they saw that only one person in the room was still activating one by one, and immediately their magic and fighting spirit flew away, and they immediately smashed the room even with a magic array.
When leaving, one of the demons looked at the remaining fragments of the magic array and judged, "I'm so lucky, the alarm magic array didn't activate." However, the defensive magic array in the inner courtyard was opened. We're going to have to do a bit of work. β
A "small order" from the Emperor Saren that no one noticed - to evacuate all the royal guards in the Chahian Palace. At this time, it turned out to be a fatal key. Not to mention the fact that Lucien and the others had infiltrated the mansion earlier, and the evacuation of the royal guards who mastered this magic hub. It also led to the chaos of the activation of the magic array.
According to the normal procedure, the first thing that should be done is to activate the alarm magic array. Being so close to the Imperial City, the royal guards and city guards can quickly support it. But the person who started it now is an "amateur" and is not skilled at all. Let's be honest. He was able to open the magic array in the inner courtyard in time, which was already considered a super level of performance.
......
In this short moment, Lu Xi's side, which had hundreds of demon masters, had a numerical advantage. They converge into several paths. Towards the inner courtyard to kill, along the way there are no chickens and dogs. The means are quite tragic.
Lucien's purpose was different from that of Finn, and he did not have to kill the crown prince Zacian. If in the end the empire takes control of the situation. Emperor Saren or the crown prince Zacian is still here, so the demons can release the news in the future - Finn is greedy for profit and actually colludes with the demons. Under such circumstances, so many officials that Finn has gathered over the years will definitely face purges, and it will be difficult for the Verona Empire not to become a mess.
It would be even more wonderful if Finn did succeed. The news released became - the emperor of the empire ascended the throne in collusion with the demons. At that time, who is willing to resist the demons under the leadership of Finn?
So when Lucien heard that "the magic array in the inner courtyard has been activated", he was not much disappointed. And also let the demons kill people and set fires, and the means are to do everything. I just want to make things bigger.
And with such a method, even the royal guards who "strengthened" Fin into the demon clan couldn't stand it. They admonished, "My lord, there's no need to kill indiscriminately, is there?"
Lucien replied with a sentence: "Prevent you from escaping with makeup!" The royal guards were speechless.
......
At this time, the Zacian family, who were hiding in the inner courtyard, fell into a panic. Someone is admonishing: "Your Highness, run!"
"But what about the crown princess and the child?" Chasian looked at his two young sons, also anxious like ants on a hot pot.
"Your Highness is here, they will be fine. With them, the goal is too big. β
"But ......?"
"Ridiculous! There is also a magic array here, and when you go outside, you can be slaughtered. Do you want to put Your Highness in danger?"
"You're ridiculous. How long can the magic array stop?"
"Just a little bit. Don't the people of the palace have long eyes? They will be here soon. β
"I'm afraid...... It's Your Majesty's secret decree!"
β......β
Zacian was in turmoil, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a bell from the direction of the palace. "Heaven Collapse!" everyone's faces turned pale.
Silence like a dead man, silence. Suddenly, one of them screamed: "Could it be Your Majesty's secret decree before his death? To kill His Highness! We're all done, we're all done! Wowββ!"
Zacian also suddenly came to his senses. He shouted urgently: "Just hide here! Don't go out! Father won't, never will." And the loyal ministers of the Empire, they will definitely come to our rescue......!
