Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 324 Assassination

Inside the throne room.

The two corpses were simply cleaned up and placed together.

They are Fenwick and Furla brothers and sisters of the Drake family. At this time, their expressions are peaceful, as if they are just sleeping.

Grand Duke Frank stood in front of the throne, wondering what he was thinking.

Today, under his command, the northern army won a hearty victory.

They broke through the Dragon City, defeated the royal army and the western border army, and finally broke into the palace.

"But... that's not what I want."

Grand Duke Frank's face suddenly darkened: "Which idiot actually killed Duke Drake? And which idiot forced Queen Fulla to death?"

Although the queen is a regicide, she needs to be judged instead of dying in the chaos.

And Fenwick is even more complicated. As the only four dukes in the kingdom, he has brothers, children, and loyal vassals, and they are still in the western fiefdom.

Once he knows what happened, he will definitely fight Wolf Castle forever!

Although the two parties were not very harmonious in the first place, it is still a different matter from this situation.

"It's you! You are pushing the kingdom into the abyss of war!"

Frank stared at Gran who walked in, and roared angrily: "Originally...we only need to capture Grand Duke Drake, try Furla Drake, hold righteousness firmly in our hands, and support a king who is close to us to take the throne , you can solve everything perfectly, but now, everything is messed up by you."

Nobility is an art of compromise.

As long as Fenwick survives, taking him as a hostage can easily make the Westland surrender.

But now, the difficulty has suddenly increased by an unknown number of times.

Moreover, it broke the "hidden rule" that the nobles do not behead their heads when they fight, which makes Frank, who is rigid and strictly abiding by etiquette, even more unbearable.

"Times have changed, my father!"

Gran was wearing a white robe, holding a cross sword in his hand, and said vigorously: "Dragon and its offshoots have ruled this kingdom for too long, it needs a new master, and our Mitis family is the most suitable."

"Shut your mouth, or I'll hang you on the flagpole..."

Frank roared again: "And most importantly, where is Princess Messiah?"

After the death of the two princes, Messiah is already the only legal heir of Philetin III, and has officially sat on the throne, which has great appeal and significance.

In Frank's plan, although the little girl cannot continue to serve as the king because of her mother's crimes, she can at least join the Church of the Mother Earth and become an ascetic monk after renunciating all secular rights.

It must also be placed under the supervision of northern forces to avoid being used by conspirators.

After all, the person who becomes the king in name is still the Messiah!

But now this little girl is missing?

"She... disappeared. According to the confessions of several court ladies, Princess Messiah should have been in the throne room with Fulla... But, she disappeared. I checked, and there is no secret passage here..."

Gran looked puzzled.

"Then we have to face the worst possibility, that is, the Messiah flees to the west and joins with the Drake family... The kingdom must go through another tragic civil war."

Frank sighed.

Unlike the northerners who came out in force, the Drake family still retains a lot of strength in the west.

Moreover, playing away games on the enemy's territory will definitely be weakened to a certain extent.

"My lord duke!"

Just when the father and son were thinking, a knight ran in in a panic: "The wizard... Sulu Botley came outside! He declared that he would kill Lord Gran!"

"I?"

Gran's face tightened.

"Let Raffis and Eric come here as soon as possible." Grand Duke Frank said solemnly, "My son, you change into the clothes of ordinary soldiers as soon as possible and get out of here!"

"Yes……"

Although very reluctant, Gran still agreed.

But the next moment, his movements stopped.

Sulu didn't know when he had arrived in the throne room,

Looking at him playfully: "Young wolf master...how does it feel to be famous?"

"Sir Sulu!"

Frank said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do? Murder a duke's heir? This will make you notorious on the mainland."

He was implying that he would recognize Sulu's aristocratic status, hoping to save his son's life.

"I'm really sorry...but actually, I don't care about titles at all!"

Sulu smiled, and the figure suddenly stepped forward.

"Do not!"

Gran yelled and waved the cross sword in his hand.

He is good, even reaching the level of a formal knight, but in front of Sulu, he is not enough to look at.

puff!

With a light fold, Sulu stabbed the dagger into Gran's body, and watched him fall to the ground with a grim expression: "The cruel beginning must end with cruelty... How does it feel to fall from the peak?"

"what!"

At this time, the roaring Frank came to him wielding a huge sword.

Sulu turned sideways, raised his right foot, and kicked the Duke flying.

"Protect the Lord Duke!"

"There are assassins!"

These blows happened too quickly, and by the time the guarded soldiers reacted, Gran had already fallen into a pool of blood.

boom!

A piece of silver vindictive light flickered.

In the light group, a serious-faced Raffis rushed in, looked at the corpse on the ground, roared angrily, and stabbed Sulu with his sword.

The huge white crow swept across the sky, but only an afterimage passed by.

"Not enough, you are far worse than Edward!"

In a flash, Sulu had arrived at the door of the Throne Hall.

"Let the arrow!"

A rain of arrows fell, but it could only pass through the afterimage helplessly and hit the ground.

"He's over there!"

"Surround!"

"Where's the knight? Go up and pester him!"

The roar of the army came from outside, this is the experience of dealing with high-level knights.

Even for silver or even golden knights, their grudges will always be exhausted!

"Assassinated the Young Duke in the middle of the army, and then left without any injuries, he really deserves the name of the arrogant teacher!"

Eric, who had lost his hand, sighed and appeared beside Raffis.

"Catch up, cooperate with the army, and leave the opponent behind at any cost."

Grand Duke Frank got up slowly, every word seemed to be squeezed out from the gap between his teeth.

"Obey, Your Excellency the Duke!"

The two were ordered to rush out, only to find that Sulu had only reached the edge of the palace at this time.

It seems that the teleportation ability has a limited distance?

They were overjoyed and chased after him.

...

Sulu skimmed the high palace walls and entered a residential area.

Even if he deliberately slows down, there are only a handful of people who can catch up with him.

At this time, only Luo Feisi and Eric were left.

He turned around suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"not good……"

Luo Feisi felt a chill in his heart: "This is... a trap? We are too far away from the army! They don't have time to support!"
