Chris's Faith of Fire

His expression has never been so serious, and I understand that he is right... This political battle has nothing to do with us, but Famita, I looked at the steps, and the young man was accosted by several strange nobles, No matter how you look at it, you can't get away for a while.

"No, Fami and Noelle...and Ma Kai and Alves, they are still..."

"I have also heard the names of these people from the people of Zerxi's son. Noelle and Ma Kai were locked up in the guest room on the second floor by Princess Andrea. The old man had bribed the guards just now. Damn they are indeed The price of Imperial City Guard is 10 times more expensive than other places.”

"Will they bear the punishment of the princess for 10 times the price?"

I asked him in surprise, but Lyles just smiled slyly.

"Of course not, but attracting their attention is enough. Now the two guards are tied up in the room instead of Ma Kai and Noelle. And the two people have escaped from the back door. According to Ma Kai, the princess is still To be honest, I have freed up the guard at the back door today to avoid unnecessary bloodshed."

He tilted his neck and brushed off his achievements in an understatement.

"You are really...I feel very lucky to have you as my subordinate."

"Excuse me, but Mr. Alves' whereabouts are unknown. I guess he is in this banquet hall..."

Will Alves be in the same position as Fami?My eyes swept around Her Majesty Andrea, but I couldn't find the young man. Or was he lurking in the crowd?

We must find him next and take Fami away quickly...

Just when I was panicking, Ailian had already stood up, and everyone stopped talking. They realized that the emperor was about to make an opening statement.

"It's still too late...Princess, I hope you can protect yourself. Pay attention to sneak attacks from behind. Once a fight breaks out, it will be safer to hide in the corner, and then find an opportunity to escape. I have never seen Alves, but the man named Fami The boy, I will find a chance to talk to him, please take care of yourself."

"Well, thank you, Lyles."

Eileen walked to the stage, Andrea followed behind her.

Ailian's expression looked a little uneasy. I don't know if it was because there were too many unfamiliar faces, but her pace became extremely slow. Now it was too late even if she wanted to stop the banquet. Ailian gritted her teeth and stepped forward further.

"Today is my birthday. Thank you all for coming. It is a great honor for me to be the emperor. You have been working hard for the country. I hope today's banquet can allow everyone to enjoy a moment of relaxation..."

She didn't speak as fluently as she practiced last night. There were many people in the audience with full murderous intent. Even in the corner where I was, I could feel the overflowing malice.

But she still forced herself to give a speech, trying to raise her tone as much as possible, and introduced the origin and significance of Shuangzhi... She mentioned the story of Princess Shuangyue in a joking tone. At this moment, the story seemed more like self-deprecation.

Chapter 250 245. The Red Banquet——3

After all, Ailian is the emperor of the empire. Even though she is said to be an incompetent puppet, she grew up under the education of the emperor. Her speech gradually became fluent. Unlike the cute girl who was "Ailian", now She was Aaron, with a deep and resonant voice, and a handsome young face that made the ladies present caressing their cheeks and being fascinated by her every move.

"...Thank you all again. Now that the entire continent is facing the threat of the Demon King and his henchmen, we must not sit still and wait for death! We will also take action in this war. As the leader of the army and the name of the God of War Blade, we will attack the north. The warriors shouted and told them that we are not turtles hiding across the sea!"

Everyone's expressions were not very good after hearing this. The emperor expressed his plan in public for the first time, but for the empire, aiding the Northern Army was not as simple as she said.Crossing the sea requires a ship and a large amount of backup, especially when facing elite warriors like the Imperial Army.I heard that Rashu and the cardinals of the Holy City have assisted five thousand warriors to help their sister guard Garnet's last territory, but they also know that it is just a drop in the bucket, in order to prevent the north from immediately falling into the hands of the demons. So I gave them token support. After all, if the monsters made it through the waves covered by the mist, the Holy City would be reduced to a sea of ​​fire.

The emperor's ideas are in line with justice and humanity, but as a politician, they are immature...

How can anyone suddenly make a decision without consulting his ministers?Your Majesty has no military power, and even a thousand guards have been handed over to Willard. If no one responds at this time, he will only be laughed at. In an empire where the government is so chaotic and everyone is fighting for power, who would do it? The so-called justice and consuming one's own strength?No one will respond, only idiots... There is no need to absolutely obey the emperor's words, as long as you have the strength.

It means nothing if you don't come. It's just a title. Anyone who kills this speech can get a title. It's just because there are people who also covet the crown, so no one dares to act rashly. It's not that the emperor loves Lian. She has the strength to match her status.

"My lords, I hope you can abide by your oath and respond to the call..."

The emperor's words were like a cold air of embarrassment. Everyone smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer.

Sure enough, this child has never been able to grow up. It seems that this sentence is written on everyone's face.Does this child feel that he is high-spirited?You don't even have the ability to resolve domestic conflicts and you still want to guard the world on behalf of the goddess?Even I feel helpless because of this speechless atmosphere. As an emperor, this will be the result if he does not have the corresponding wisdom. Even if it is the same words, if these words are spoken by Lord Rashu, he must be full of confidence. With confidence, even civilian warriors will join his team one after another and feel the infinite glory.

But this emperor with a woman's face...how should people respond to her?Even the person who answered her would be considered a fool.

It was obviously just the opening remarks, but it made the food in the audience taste like chewing gum. It was so unappetizing.

pop... pop...

Snapped……

Just then, there was a burst of applause...

This was the only round of applause in the audience, and everyone turned their attention to the source of the applause, which was Willard.

His smile was as elegant as the one I saw at the time, and also full of malice, and his black curly hair was neatly combed, but to me he looked like a demon with teeth and claws. Willard moved when no one spoke. His own footsteps and boots made a crisp sound as they stepped off the carpet and stepped on the marble tiles.

"Your words are truly an example of courage for the Imperial people, Your Majesty~"

The attack of the new nobles headed by Willard began...

◆ ◇

"Right now, the Holy Sword Queen Ladia Neve Masefield in the north is fighting the Demon King's army on the front line. Gilkern in the eastern battlefield, and the Dragon Queen Alexia's marching speed is also extraordinary. They will march next month. We can reach Xidelinl in Gilkern, and the city in the north is in danger."

His words were calm and had the unique sense of crisis of a narrator, as if he wanted to make people immerse themselves in the story and break out in a cold sweat.

The nobles in the banquet hall began to talk after he finished speaking.

"Where did you get the information?" There are people who doubt the authenticity.

"I think Sir, you should communicate more with merchants. They can bring first-hand information. Even before the Adventurer Association, I can feel the war situation from the changes in commodity prices."

He explained helplessly, not hiding his sarcastic tone which made the nobleman have blue veins on his forehead.

"What does their war have to do with us?" There are people like this who have no common sense.

"Sir, your wife seems to like silk very much? The material of her dress is as smooth as a waterfall. Unfortunately, the empire cannot easily obtain such textiles. We have too few manors to produce such products because the weather here is too hot. ~And without the "wind" of the Kingdom of Wind, the good materials cannot be sold so easily. At the same time, it is difficult for us to export armor and wine, the price of ships has risen sharply, and monsters are rampant on the sea. If we do not pay the sailors 10 They are not willing to risk their lives at twice the price."

Yes, although Willard is hateful, his words are indeed persuasive. War is by no means as simple as killing people and silencing them.

The cost is mostly borne by the people. It is impossible to maintain life in a world where no one can make money. We will use up our last energy and become weak before the war begins.

"Lord Willard, I understand what you said, but who will send the troops?"

One person asked, the timing was perfect, as if it had been arranged.

"Do your best, right?" He stared at Rashou Greystone Volante with his snake-like eyes.

Old Volante smiled back at him, and the crowd seemed to split into two sides at this moment. The two nobles were like swordsmen fighting in the arena, and we became their loyal audience.

"Lord Willard, Duke Volante has already sent five thousand elite warriors to the North to help the Queen of the Holy Sword. There seems to be no need to worry too much about this matter. The Queen has been blocking the Demon King's army for us for several months. This stalemate shows that the Demon King's army does not have such a big impact. At least the battle situation is not tense now, and sending more soldiers is just a waste of our food."

A nobleman interrupted, standing in front of Rashu. Naturally, the new nobles also started to compete with each other.

"Don't you have the so-called sense of justice? Are you worthy of being named a knight?" Willard's nobles also spoke.

"It is justice to live to the end. You just want Lord Volante's soldiers to die to weaken their strength, cunning Snakeprint!"

"Hey, pay attention to your manners at the banquet, my lord!"

The two groups began to quarrel.

The characters who were silent at this time looked at each other, and their eyes became slender.

Emperor Aaron Snow Crystal Jemenel.

Princess Andrea Mojing Jemenelle.

Duke Rashou Graystone Volante.

Sir Lorraine Topaz Volante.

Fami, who goes by the pseudonym Farr...

And me, Kris of Fire.

The prelude has ended and the protagonists have begun to take the stage.

Chapter 251 246. The Red Banquet——4

"Everyone, please be patient. We didn't hold the child banquet just for this kind of thing."

At this time, Princess Wu Andrea stepped forward. Everyone still did not stop arguing immediately. She did not continue to insist... Instead, she took a step back and watched the verbal battle quietly. Maybe she was no longer suitable to interrupt, so They had a good fight.This is probably what Princess Wu was thinking.

"Idiot, what future do you have if you continue to follow those old stubborns?"

"Does this little brat know how to govern a country?"

The aggressiveness of his words also became explicit.

"If there was anything you could do, you would have done it, wouldn't you?"

"Then what did you do? How many troops did your Lord Willard assist?"

"Simple-minded people, who do you think the domestic market relies on to support the current domestic market? How many businessmen do you think Mr. Willard has supported?"

"Haha, then why don't you sell your wives and daughters to save the country?"

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and it was already too vulgar for a scolding battle between nobles. They seemed to have come here ready to scold each other. I even felt that if there was a sword, they would jump out and kill them at any time. other side.

Only those few people remained calm. Rashu and Willard looked at the audience calmly. At the same time, they took a few steps back, as if seeking a safe position.

And I also noticed a trace of ominous air filling the air. I saw a man slowly moving his body from the crowd and walking forward. At this time, Ailian was uneasily walking down the stage, probably because she wanted to appease everyone. I felt uncomfortable. wonderful.

The man who kept getting closer put his hands on his waist, and Elaine noticed him.However, he just knelt down on one knee to salute, and the emperor naturally and politely stretched out the back of his hand to kiss lightly. At this time... the smell of uneasiness came, like poison spreading, which I, who have been through the arena for a long time, can clearly identify. This strange smell.

It is murderous.

I tried to push away the guests in front of me, but they surrounded me one after another. I tried my best to be able to see Ailian slightly inside.

"This lord?"

He had held Ai Lian's hand for too long. As a daughter, the emperor felt a little unhappy. She wanted to take her hand away but the other party did not let go. He held it firmly with a sneer on his lips.

"Quick, let go!"

Ailian felt something strange and began to struggle, but after all, she was just a little girl, and even a boy could not break free from the arm of the adult man in front of her.

"Go to hell...incompetent emperor!"

The noble shouted loudly, and immediately pulled out a dagger with his left hand on his waist.

Oh no!In this position, my flame is blocked by someone and I can't hit it!

I stared at the assassin in front of me, and only heard a clang. A man stood in front of the emperor. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although his hairstyle had changed, I still recognized him.

"Alves!" When they heard me shouting, everyone looked over for a moment, but soon their attention was on Fami, who jumped into the air when Alves blocked the assassin's dagger. , pulled out the dagger from his waist...

"Don't kill him!" Ailian screamed too late. The throat of the stabbing man was slit, and Fami's method was so clean that the man's disgusting smile didn't disappear when he fell to the ground.

"It's His Excellency Rashu's assassins! The assassins attacked His Majesty the Emperor! This is a well-planned coup. Arrest everyone here! Guards!"

The silent Willard made a voice, and the called guards rushed into the banquet hall. There were probably dozens of them... all armed.

"What happened, my lord!"

"His Majesty the Emperor's assassins attacked His Majesty the Emperor, execute them immediately!"

"You bastard, what are you talking about?" Rashu retorted but was ignored by the guards.

"Yes, Lord Willard!"

He was talking about execution... Why were these guards obedient?

I looked at the ring he wore on his finger. Of course, I guess it was more than that... and there must have been other means.

In that case, the assassin just now would have nothing to say. It was definitely Willard who had prepared it. Why did he want to assassinate Ailian?Even if he had to take action, shouldn't it be Rashu or Andrea?

"Loran!" Rashu will not sit still and wait for death. The nobles and knights of his faction, Loran, seem to be ready.

But I soon understood the reason. The guards immediately rushed forward and started fighting with the Rasuite nobles. Almost at the same time, many people from the new nobles took out the daggers hidden on their bodies... some of them couldn't react. The truly innocent person who came to the banquet had his throat cut like that, his body swayed and then fell, and the entire banquet hall was soaked in blood.

First assassinate the emperor, and then directly deal with the remaining people by force?This guy is crazy...

At this time, a sword was also swung by my side. If I hadn't accidentally taken a step back because I didn't stand firm, I would have been split into two pieces by now. His sword was so fast and neat, it was simply not like that. It was a knight wearing heavy armor. I found a gap and shot out flames from my fingers, but the flames spread out as soon as they touched his armor, as if they were separated.

"Be careful, their armor can weaken the magic!"

What reminded me was Alvis. He slashed the armored man in two from behind, and what he held in his hand was the Sword of the Phantom God.

The bright red color of the blood stained my face, skirt, and socks... The fishy smell spread to my nose, making me a little nauseous. I should have been used to the smell of blood, but now it felt different.This place was supposed to be a banquet, but suddenly blood and flesh flew everywhere. It turned out that it was not someone playing a conspiracy, but everyone hiding their murderous intent. Their desire and killing exploded in an instant, turning into streaks of blood. The curtain splashed onto the marble floor.

"Princess! It's time to leave... We will fight a way for you!" The lurking Lyles and Alvis joined together, and they stood in front of me and chopped down the approaching knights.

"Alves...explain it to me!"

My mind was in chaos.

"Now is not the time, Chris...run away quickly, leave this city, no...leave this country."

"Um……"

Although I understand, when I look ahead, I only see Ailian being forcibly held by someone's hand and turned around the corner, while Fami is fighting the magic knights who are coming up one after another. Even though he is as skilled as him, he only uses a dagger. It would also be difficult.Everyone else was fighting, Princess Wu was killing people, and Knight Luolan was also killing people.

But Andrea was attacking the old nobles of Rashu's faction. Luolan, who sensed something was wrong, stepped forward and engaged Princess Wu in close combat.

The situation is so confusing that I can no longer understand it. Are we going to catch up with Ailian now?Or go and help Fami?

Thinking of this, my brain already had an idea. I nodded my head suggestively and ran in the opposite direction.
