There's definitely something wrong with this script.

Chapter 740 Battle
After waving away the person who came to report, the room was silent for a few seconds.

Wald XVIII did not see the slightest embarrassment, and there was no surprise in his expression, just thoughtful.

Duke Brown saw this.

Naturally, there was no intention of dismantling the stage.

Fort Suwart is an affiliated fortress of the city-state north of the capital, and it is also the fort closest to the capital of the city-state in the north. If the enemy comes from the north, they will almost have to pass through this place.

So it may not be prosperous, but its geographical location is very important.

"Although you have already left the capital, if they find you in the Franks, it is also convenient to launch an attack from Fort Suvart. Your Majesty, do you need to evacuate here first?" Duke Brown said.

"No, they won't know that I'm here for the time being, and the army attacking Fort Suvart should be just a division of troops." Wald XVIII said while looking at the map.

"..."

His tone remained firm.

Duke Brown didn't know why His Majesty the King was so confident.

But the king can be willful.

The courtiers can't really let the other party be willful.

Duke Brown thought for a while and said, "Why don't I let the Franks City Defense Force go to Suwalt? The Ninth Military Region has already stationed outside the Franks City, and it doesn't matter if the City Defense Force is withdrawn."

There are hundreds of city-state fortresses and 36 military districts in the San Vallo Empire. Among them, the Northern Continental Army District is the most distributed, followed by the Western Continent. The strength of each military district ranges from [-] to one million.

The Eastern Continent has the least troops.

Because generally speaking, if the enemy's strength is enough to break through the blockades and enter the capital.

Basically, there is no need to resist anymore.

Only this time the situation is slightly different.

The king was given up by His Majesty the King on his own initiative.

At this point, since they don't intend to defend the city, they can only guard the people.

As long as the royal family of San Vallo is around.

As long as the king is around.

Then even if the throne is changed, with the background and strength of the Brown family, they can still control the empire.

But this premise is.

The Imperial Crown will not be replaced by the Holy See.

Duke Brown asked inquiringly: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Wald XVIII glanced at him: "Yes."

In fact, Duke Brown's loyalty to the royal family of San Vallo may not even be comparable to that of Duke Russo in some respects.

But it's okay.

Their purpose now is the same.

Wald XVIII stared at the map on the table, and glanced back and forth among the several city-states around the flag. Suddenly, his gaze paused and landed on the logo of "Rhine City-State".

He was slightly contemplative, waiting to think about the connection.

But the next moment.

Wald XVIII paused suddenly.

There seemed to be a glimmer of light in those blue eyes. Wald XVIII suddenly raised his head and looked towards the void in front of him as if feeling something.

Followed by.

He suddenly took out a thick book out of nowhere, opened the pages, looked at the runes displayed on it, and the stream of light overflowed from his fingertips and constructed them together.

The runes are like some kind of wild cursive calligraphy, presented in horizontal stripes, and completed with one stroke.

Duke Brown standing next to him was a little surprised. He stared at the rune floating in the air, but he couldn't tell what kind of magic it was.

Didn't even know if it was magic.

After Wald XVIII finished constructing the striped rune, he suddenly fell silent, and the candles flickered between the walls, reflecting his dim and unclear expression.

Duke Brown couldn't help but tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

The voice fell.

He saw the young man suddenly laughed.

That smile was a bit weird, with a hint of interest and danger spreading, like a sharp sword suddenly drawn from its sheath, full of murderous intent.

Duke Brown shuddered inexplicably.

This is His Majesty the King who he has seen since he was a child.

It was strange at the moment.

"interesting."

Wald XVIII folded his hands and put away the books.

He turned around and said, "Now you can let the troops outside the city enter the city, it's better to call some more people to guard you."

After saying this, Wald XVIII opened the door and walked out quickly before Duke Brown could react, and his figure disappeared in the corridor at the door in an instant.

When Duke Brown came back to his senses and hurriedly chased him out, he saw only two guards looking at each other at the door.

"... Where is General Royce?"

Duke Brown paused and asked quickly.

The two guards also seemed to be in a daze: "General Royce... He disappeared when he came out just now, but he seems to have gone from there?"

The guard on the right points to the hallway.

After the other party suddenly opened the door and came out, he turned in his direction, but before they could see who it was.

The person is gone.

It was as if a gust of wind had blown past.

When Duke Brown heard this, his expression changed for a while and he said, "I see, by the way, you give orders..."

No matter what happened.

Judging from the reaction of Wald XVIII, it seems to indicate that the city-state of the Franks will never be stable again tonight.

……

……

The city-state of the Franks is a romantic capital.

The building materials here are not as cold and lime gray as in the north, nor are they chaotic like the city-state of Tunus.

There are many high-rise buildings in the city, most of them are castles with steeple peaks, vines are climbing on the bay leaf brown buildings, and clusters of flowers are placed on the windowsills.

The lanterns on the street are exquisitely carved, and the dim light illuminates the road paved with small stones, and there are also big trees with strong leaves on both sides.

The winter breeze blows.

There was also a faint scent of flowers in the air.

The east gate of the city-state of the Franks.

Watchtower on the city wall.

The city defense army that had been guarding here was swaying here and there. A young man in a dark golden tuxedo was sitting on a pier, looking sideways at the spire of a certain castle in the distance.

"Aren't you going to run?"

Xu Shuo chuckled and said to himself, "It's quite courageous."

Catalina sat in the watchtower and asked, "Is the person you're looking for really here?"

"It's already here."

"what?"

Those words made Catalina immediately alert.

However, she looked around, but she couldn't see anything unusual approaching.

It's just that a city defense army in strong and sharp clothes ran across the street not far away, and more and more city defense troops seemed to be active, and the originally dark streets were brightly lit.

So although I haven't seen where the enemy is yet.

But this scene did show that the enemy had discovered their movements.

"Just stay here and don't move around."

Xu Shuo stood up from the wall pier, staring at a certain place with silvery white eyes, curled up the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "I'll go get you some blood."

The corner of Catalina's mouth twitched: "..."

It was said as if she was just waiting to drink blood.

It's been said that she doesn't want to drink blood!

They ice and snow elves don't even drink blood!

She was still secretly angry, but the figure of the young man jumped out suddenly, and his long silver hair fluttered silently into the darkness below.

Then the next moment.

"boom!"

An explosion without warning occurred not far away.

Immediately afterwards, the city defense troops who were scattered all over the street ran over there, and at the same time, many people came towards this tower.

Seeing this, Catalina jumped off the tower to leave.

But half way through.

She suddenly thought of youth.

So after a little hesitation, Catalina turned and ran to another location of the city gate, intending to temporarily hide in the city.

……

……

The location that just exploded.

When Xu Shuo entered the city and landed, a string of light-colored runes floated from his side without warning. He reacted in time and quickly jumped away, and the runes exploded at his position just now.

Xu Shuo landed on a window sill somewhere, then looked up at the roof.

Spire building.

A man with ash-blonde hair was standing.

"I am honored to see the true face of the Pope tonight." Wald XVIII smiled.

"You are as ugly as before."

Xu Shuo also smiled.

When he was disguised as Royce Russo before, this man specially made a hideous scar on his face to destroy his face.

However, at the banquet later, Xu Shuo pointed out their similarities without hesitation.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Wald XVIII no longer continued to pretend.

Under the night.

The two stood opposite each other. Wald XVIII looked down at the person on the window sill, and was not offended by what he said, but just smiled with interest.

"I was a little surprised that the Pope was able to catch up here, but since everyone has come, then don't leave."

The voice fell.

Suddenly a book appeared in his hand.

The book was about six inches thick, written in brown leather, and had no logo on the cover.

Wald XVIII took out the book, but because it was too thick to be held in one hand, he could only rest it on the crook of his arm.

And when I read that book.

Xu Shuo's eyes moved slightly, with an inexplicable feeling.

But because the induction is inexplicable, so I don't know what this feeling is for the time being, but I just think he really wants to grab this book.

next moment.

A string of runes flew over from the book.

Xu Shuo quickly flew towards Wald XVIII, avoiding the direction of the runes, but when he jumped into the air, the string of runes instantly turned into chains and hit him.

A dark green bamboo cane appeared in his hand, and after he waved back the chain, Xu Shuo had already approached Wald XVIII.

"what?"

Wald XVIII seemed slightly taken aback.

Then quickly retreated, the book in his hand disappeared, and turned into a dagger in his hand.

Dingying!

The cane collided with the sharp dagger, Xu Shuo leaned forward and pursued extremely fast, but Wald XVIII always resisted and retreated.

The figures of the two intertwined on the spire of a building.

The city defense army has discovered the change here.

But because the staggered figures of the two were too fast, they couldn't aim and attack, so they could only follow their pace on the street and wait for it.

At this moment, Xu Shuo suddenly threw out a few slender silver needles with his left hand.

Wald XVIII leaned over suddenly, avoiding the extremely fine silver needles in the dark night, and at the same moment, Xu Shuo who was chasing him suddenly stepped on something.

It is a string of runes.

Wald XVIII, who avoided the silver needle, smiled.

But the next moment his smile froze.

"Boom!"

Dazzling light flashed suddenly, and the moment Xu Shuo jumped up with force, the steeple building and the runes he stepped on exploded!

The two fell down without a point of support.

The dark green bamboo cane also began to shine, and after the brilliant power was condensed to the extreme, it suddenly rushed towards Wald XVIII!

The light beam arrived in an instant, and Wald XVIII quickly leaned his body in the air, and the light beam rushed over his left shoulder and landed on the building behind him.

Then there was another bang.

Buildings burst.

ambush?

I let you ambush!
Xu Shuo didn't mind blowing up the city.

Wald XVIII looked a little surprised. When avoiding the light beam, he stepped on the falling ruins with his toes, jumped into the air again, and retreated to the top of another building.

But wait until he looks down.

But no one could see where Xu Shuo's figure had gone.

It was pitch black on all sides, and the exploding buildings knocked over the street lamps on the street, the magic patterns failed, and the light in the lampposts went out.

He didn't feel flustered either, but he summoned the book again with a calm expression, and quickly traced the runes that appeared on the page with his fingers.

After the rune was completed, he immediately looked towards the street.

But there was nothing but darkness in that place.

There was no sign of anyone.

The next moment, Wald XVIII looked back suddenly, but the corner of the window sill was only dark, and there was no figure of that person.

He was stunned.

Then there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting."

"interesting?"

A voice that didn't belong to him suddenly rang out in his ears, and Walder XVIII's eyes were ruthless, and he turned his hand and took out a dagger to stab back.

Dingying!

The cane blocked the dagger, and Xu Shuo's other hand had already grabbed Wald XVIII, but the latter tried to defuse his attack two or three times. At the same time, the dagger slid across the body of the cane and stabbed at his chest.

Xu Shuo raised his foot and kicked it without avoiding it. Wald XVIII quickly dodged sideways and retracted the dagger.

However, when he looked up again, Xu Shuo, who was attacking him by his side just now, disappeared again.

Wald XVIII narrowed his eyes.

Stealth ability?

And it seems to be a stealth ability that is not afraid of space.

Suddenly, Wald XVIII turned around and slashed again, but this time it wasn't the cane that struck, the dagger knocked off two silver needles.

There is also a silver needle coming towards his face!

Wald XVIII quickly raised his hand to cover his face.

call out--

The silver needle pierced into his palm, and the tip stopped in front of the eye mask, but Wald XVIII didn't care about sensing the damage, the dagger in his hand trembled, and he swung a blow with a dim light.

Xu Shuo's figure emerged from the darkness, looking at the knife wound on his left hand with some surprise.

He just ran away quickly after throwing the silver needle.

Unexpectedly, he was still injured.

Not far away, Wald XVIII also pulled out the silver needle in his palm, but before he could check what it was, the silver needle shattered and dissipated.

And the wound on his palm that was pierced quickly healed, and there was a little bloodshot.

"Isn't it a small trick?"

Wald XVIII made a faint sound.

Xu Shuo looked at him, squeezed the wound on his palm and said with a smile, "Since you're not popular, let's play it for you first."

The "deep-sea fin needle" is really useless, unless it hits an acupuncture point, it is just an ordinary inexhaustible silver needle.

The cane isn't really that useful either.

Except as a medium to use "brilliance".

The cane is usually used to block attacks, but it actually does no damage at all. It needs the user's own strength to maintain it. Even the sharpness needs to be strengthened by Xu Shuo.

But Xu Shuo still used them.

It's just a test of this person's details.

he thinks.

Now this person is not serious at all.

Whether it was the surprise just now, or the haste in the face of the sneak attack.

I guess it's all acting.
