Chapter 183 Oversight
"Please forgive us!"

A group of civilians behind him also humbly pleaded guilty.This made a group of new army soldiers from the slums look at each other in blank dismay, and hesitantly put down their rifles.

"City guards? I didn't hear what the battalion commander said the city guards would do tonight... Forget it... let's go! Go through the alley behind us and go left, you can go back to the central area. But you have to be careful!"

Lamber frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't come up with any answer. Seeing that the group of civilians didn't seem to have anything special, and they looked as fearful and humble as he had seen the city guards before, he couldn't help but soften his heart a little and let go. After the group of civilians left, he led the team to continue towards the destination with some anxiety.

But it didn't take long before they stopped again.Because not far from their hiding place in the alleyway, there is a large and well-armed army marching eastward along the empty road.

"This is... the troops of the Guards Division!"

The palace guard knights in the team recognized the shape of the armor worn by the soldiers passing through the street leading from this alleyway, and suddenly explained in a low voice to the soldiers of the new army around them in surprise.

"Guards? Isn't that our enemy? Why are they here now? Could it be that the city guard enforced the curfew to let this army pass?"

Lambert took out the map in shock. They were still two streets away from the No. 22 stronghold, and the defensive measures had not yet been established, so how should they fight against these huge guards?

"Squad leader, let Master Mage send a message! According to Xia Lin's explanation, this is an unexpected situation that was not planned!"

Vice monitor Roberts said solemnly.

"It should indeed be done, Master Mage, please send a message to deputy head Xia Lin, and say that class 2133 encountered the guards on Jinhuicao Street in advance, the number of people..."

"The number of people is at least a thousand! And they are heading towards the southeast gate of Longmian Palace!"

The palace guard knight in the team added with a serious expression.

"I understand!"

The royal mage nodded and took out a magic crystal from his arms, and sent a message to the owner of the spiritual power stored in the crystal.

Xia Lin was shocked when he got the unexpected news. A large-scale guard army appeared on the street in the south block of the East District?And still marching towards Longmian Palace?
Damn it, but he forgot one thing, that is, since the conservatives also have the same idea as them, they will definitely send the second guard division in advance to control the situation as soon as possible.

The city guards who were in charge of providing information in the project to capture the pearl did not hear any news about such a huge army. It should be that the conservatives used their remaining forces in the city guards.

Xia Lin immediately issued an order to Fatland, who led the second infantry battalion, to end the original plan, shrink back to the west gate and enter the interior of Dragon's Rest Palace before coming to support his group.

He led the new army that had passed through the west gate of Longsleep Palace and entered the interior, and turned to the southeast gate at full speed, hoping to prevent the Guards from entering Dragonsleep Palace.

At the same time, let the affiliated mages of the palace guards at the west gate warn the affiliated mages at the southeast gate, so that they will not let go of any army that tries to enter Dragon's Rest Palace.

However, this early warning came too late. Elsie Harrison, captain of the Fourth Battalion of the Palace Guard, looked at the palace gate that was violently destroyed by the disguised messengers under his feet, and saw the sudden appearance outside the palace wall. The shadowy army was full of astonishment.

It wasn't until he received a message from the mage of the palace guard beside him that he realized what had happened. While thinking about it, Elsie immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted:
"Knights of the Palace Guard! Prince Fermod, Earl of Hurt, and General Bonnoff launched a rebellion! Now we have to hold on! Reinforcements will come soon! Believe that victory belongs to us who are just!

Now, the mages go to open the protective circle, and all of us stick to the palace gate! "

……

"Ughhhhh!!!"

"Father! Father!"

At the moment when the two sides were at war, Emperor Prieter, who was lying in the arms of Princess Dorothea, suddenly let out a hysterical howl.

Princess Dorothea caressed his face anxiously, but could only watch Emperor Prieter suffer from the power of the curse.

"Keep it……"

After wailing for a while, Emperor Prieter's voice gradually weakened. He endured the ravages of the terrible curse on his body, and took out something from his bosom with a trembling right hand, intending to stuff it into Dorothea. hands.

Seeing his powerless appearance, Princess Dorothea quickly took the object in his hand, and found that it turned out to be the symbol of Ahlica's royal authority - an amber seal the size of a finger.

"..."

Seeing Princess Dorothea took over the seal, Emperor Preet showed a bit of relief and remorse on his painfully distorted face. He stretched out his hand as if wanting to touch Princess Dorothea's face, but then he The various emotions contained in the golden pupils suddenly stagnated, and then dissipated together with the master's soul, turning into an empty dead silence.

"Father?? Father?!"

The cry of grief did not receive half a response. Facing the father who died in pain in her arms, Princess Dorothea clenched his palm covered with black curse lines, and her beautiful face showed pain and powerlessness. tears.

The emperor, who ruled the Sassen Empire for nearly 50 years, came to an end today. Princess Dorothea wept silently for a while, and gently placed her father's body on the ground of the Aran Hall, stood up and looked at He met the gloomy-looking imperial brother Prince Fermod on the opposite side.

Witnessing the death of Emperor Preet with his own eyes, Prince Fermod did not feel the excitement and joy he had imagined. Instead, he felt an inexplicable depression and depression in his chest.

Just when the brothers and sisters looked at each other for a while, and wanted to say something to each other, a wave of earthquakes that were more severe than before came from the underground of Dragon's Rest Palace. This time, even with the protection of magic power, Alan The hall also began to shake violently, and all the people in the Alan Hall were stumbling around for a while.

"Damn! What are those guys from Hand of the Dead doing?!"

During the violent and continuous shaking, the sullen Prince Fermod shouted angrily.

Immediately afterwards, there was a terrible "rumbling rumbling" sound of ground cracking outside the hall, and the earthquake gradually subsided, and everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"No! What is that!!!"

After the earthquake subsided for a while, there was a burst of hysterical exclamation from outside the hall. A knight wearing the mithril armor of the palace guard staggered into the Aran hall, shouting incoherently with a blank expression:

"Giant... giant dragon!! Your Royal Highness! A giant bone dragon appeared outside!!"

"Bone Dragon?!"

People on both sides were stunned and shocked when they heard the news. Creatures like giant dragons have almost become legends in this world. When they first heard the idea of ​​"bone dragon", everyone naturally thought The first reaction was disbelief and surprise.

"It was the Necromancer of the Hand of the Dead who invaded the Dragon's Rest Treasury and desecrated the dragon partner of Albis the Great, the corpse and dragon crystal left by His Royal Highness Linasis Clumberwell, to create this skull dragon !
The dragon crystal is the key to His Majesty Prieter's life. After the dragon crystal is polluted by the terrible and evil undead magic, it loses its effectiveness. This is why His Majesty Prieter lost the power to suppress the curse. "

Archmage Strachey, who kept communicating with several other court archmages through communication techniques, quickly realized the origin of the bone dragon, and explained with an ugly expression.
