I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 244 Breaking into the imperial capital.

Arthur set the time for the attack at exactly four o'clock in the morning.

If you have survived the whole night, you will know that this period is the most sleepy and difficult for people, and your vigilance and sensitivity will decrease.

Moreover, it was just before dawn at four o'clock in the morning, which was not only conducive to taking advantage of the cover of night, but also taking advantage of the darkening sky after a period of time to eliminate the remnants of the enemy.

The Celtic Knights rode on their horses, silently overlooking the town below, like a statue.

Wolfe also raised the flag gun that he had been carrying with him before, and untied the straps on the flag, and the flag of the Celtic Knights fluttered in the wind.

Arthur didn't say any words of encouragement. In other words, he didn't need any encouragement for the knights behind him. Standing there was his spiritual support.

Or because.

During this thousand-mile raid, their bodies and beliefs have long been fused together.

Although their bodies were exhausted, their wills and spirits had already been tempered to be indestructible in the blood and fire fighting, and there was no need for any further encouragement.

The combat effectiveness of this cavalry has surpassed that of the previous Celtic Knights.

As Arthur swooped down from the hillside, the knights behind him followed closely behind.

There are no roars and shouts that resound through the sky, but only the resonance of war horses running together.

The ground was trembling, smoke and dust scattered, and the red wolf banner of the Celtic Knights was flying in the wind.

They seemed to be a group of real wolves, swooping down towards the flock of sheep below.

The tremor of the earth woke up the soldiers of the Spanish Empire who were on guard on the sentry tower.

He tried his best to open his eyes and looked at the source of the sound. He looked at the cavalry rushing towards this side in the distance. He even thought he was wrong, so he raised his hand to wipe his eyes.

He quickly saw the red wolf's flag, his complexion turned pale at that moment, and he shook the bell on one side without any hesitation.

"Dangdang! Dangdang! Dangdang!"

The bell made a crisp sound, and several sentry points in other places also started to ring the bell when they saw this.

With that rapid bell, the whole city was awakened.

The gendarmes in the city ran out of the dormitory blowing their sirens, with guns in their hands, some of them didn't even have their clothes on, and ran to the streets in a panic to check around.

"what happened?"

"What is the warning bell?"

"Is there a rebellion in the city?"

Soon, they ran to the streets of the city. A military policeman felt the tremor of the ground, and he turned his head to look at the end of the street.

Soon, I saw the group of knights who were stained with blood and filled with evil spirits like gods of death.

It seemed that because the evil spirit on their bodies was too strong, the gendarme did not dare to shout or move for a while after being intimidated.

Soon, he reacted and prepared to raise his gun to fight back.

But at that moment, the cavalry had already come to him.

With a puff.

He felt that everything in front of his eyes was spinning, and he soon saw his headless body.
The cannon technology of this era is already very mature, and the city wall becomes a tasteless thing, which not only wastes money, but also hinders the development of the city.

It may be able to block the enemy, but it is not proportional to the input.

So the walls of many ancient cities were torn down.

Just like the capital of the Spanish Empire.

Under normal circumstances, if there is an army that can reach the imperial capital, it doesn't matter whether there are city walls or not.

But they obviously didn't expect that there would be such a cavalry who would choose to raid thousands of miles day and night to come to this city.

The cavalry did not kill too much, but galloped on the wide avenue, and rushed straight to the center of the city, where the imperial palace was located.

The horses roared on the stone floor, like high-speed tanks advancing towards the center of the city.

The response speed of the people in the capital was also very fast. They quickly organized a line of defense, intending to hinder the charge of the cavalry.

But the gendarmes in this city obviously didn't expect such a cavalry to rush into their imperial capital. Their enemies were thousands of miles away, and there was no such possibility at all.

Therefore, they did not refuse horses, nor did they have any weapons that could defend against cavalry. They could only set up simple gun arrays to fire.

But the speed of the cavalry is very fast, and the defense line that has just been established can be dispersed by the cavalry almost in the blink of an eye.

As they charged, they were also getting closer and closer to the palace.

As they approached, the resistance of the troops of the Spanish Empire became more and more intense, and they also knew what would happen if this cavalry was allowed to enter the palace.

There were more and more corpses left on the ground, including those of the enemy and knights, and the strong smell of blood quickly permeated the sky above the imperial city.

Soon, they reached the vicinity of the palace, surrounded by troops, and they wanted to use the palace walls to defend their cavalry.

But they obviously didn't think of Arthur's ability.

I saw Arthur standing on the horse's back, his knees bent, and he jumped when the horse was about to reach the phalanx.

In the horrified eyes of the soldiers of the Spanish Empire.

He jumped more than ten meters high, directly climbed over the city wall, passed the group of guards, and landed on the lawn outside the palace.

And a person ran straight into the palace.

The palace guards recovered from the shock and shouted excitedly.

"Quick! Stop him! Stop him!"

"Never let him in!"

"Escort! Escort!!!"

Some of the soldiers turned and ran into the palace.

The maids in the palace screamed piercingly, but Arthur ignored them and galloped through the corridor at the fastest speed.

Some maids on the way were professionally trained special personnel, and when Arthur passed by, they suddenly rushed out and wanted to kill him directly.

But the skills of these people were obviously not enough for Arthur. Some were directly knocked out by Arthur, and some had their throats cut by Arthur's sword.

He also carried out what he learned from Xia Yali, he would not do anything to kill unnecessary people, but as long as he was required to kill, he would not hesitate.

He is also the emperor and has lived in the palace, but after he ascended the throne, he basically fought outside, and basically lived in the palace for less than a week.

But even so, he can clearly know where the emperor is.

Anyway, Arthur also learned Ogham script from the Fairy Queen for three years, and last night he sent a mouse to find and monitor the Emperor.

The purpose is to prevent him from escaping through secret passages and the like.

If this is the case, their raid this time is tantamount to a failure.

Perhaps, no country in the world thought that wars could be fought like this.

If we use chess as an analogy, the red side's handsome chess jumps directly across the river to the black side's shogi, and fights in the matt.

A duel between two emperors in the palace is definitely the most outrageous thing in this era.

But it just happened.

Soon Arthur reached a door and pushed through it without any effort.

The door was pushed open with a bang.

This is a meeting hall. There are no lights in the hall, only some dawn light outside the window shines in through the colored windows.

The hall was empty and silent.

Arthur's eyes focused on the throne. An old man in his fifties with gray hair and beard was sitting on the throne, wearing a Spanish Empire-style royal robe and a crown.

He is the current emperor of this empire, Louis XV.

But at this moment, a sharp sword was stabbed into his chest, and the blood stained his chest red, spreading along his chest to the carpet under his feet, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.

The old man on the throne has completely lost his vitality.
Arthur's complexion also darkened.
At this time, the soldiers who were chasing behind also rushed in from behind. Seeing this scene, everyone's pupils shrank to a little at that moment.

The entire hall was silent, and people's breathing stagnated slightly.

People froze in place, unable to believe the scene in front of them, and some even sobbed softly.

The leader of the guards reacted, looked at Arthur, and roared with tears in his eyes.

"Catch this kingslayer for me!!!"

Arthur was silent and said nothing.

For them, an emperor is more useful alive than dead.

Signing the surrender agreement requires him to be alive, and signing the compensation agreement also requires him to be alive.

Arthur needed him alive too, to hold him hostage so that his cavalry could retreat.

But now things are getting more complicated.
The imperial guards from the surrounding palace surrounded him.

Arthur didn't explain, he knew that for these enemies, his explanation was undoubtedly pale.

Even if it can be proved that the emperor's death had nothing to do with him, the princes and nobles here will try their best to cover the matter on Britannia's head.

This is in their interest.

He's just thinking of a solution.

Now that the emperor is dead, the best way is to tie up the crown prince.

But he doesn't know the position of the crown prince at all now.

Or.
Arthur looked around, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

in a more straightforward way
