Another thug was killed by Pace with one blow. When he noticed that the blue dots in front of him were getting denser and denser, Pace yelled into the radio:
"Ms. Carly! Have you found Leon's location?"
"He's running towards the house! Someone has to stop him!"
"Aishiliya has gone, just as planned," it was Perlis' voice, "Carly, how long will it take?"
"Ten seconds!"
"Young Master, cover your eyes!"
"Got it!" Pace roared, and after killing the enemy in front of him again, Pace immediately covered his eyes.
At the same time, the mansion's lighting system was restored. The hall instantly became extremely bright again, and the lights from the dome shone on the blood and corpses on the ground, making it look particularly creepy.
The thugs locked onto the positions of Perlis and Pace the moment the lights came on, but before they could make a move, a violent blue light exploded in the hall -
“【The Frozen Light】!”
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
The Little Brids, who had long ago set up a net in the mansion, exploded, blinding all the unprepared thugs. Another round of screams followed, and then came the second round of massacre.
"bass--"
A blood-red track streaked across the air in the hall. Perlis raised her left hand calmly, and the factor bracelet spun at high speed.
“【Factor Burst】!”
"boom--"
The small-scale factor energy annihilation burst out, blowing the thugs' front line into pieces. Pace took advantage of the opportunity and instantly ran in front of the thugs who had not yet recovered their vision, ruthlessly swinging the cold steel knife in his hand -
"Ahhh!"
"Uhhhhhhh!!"
The thugs were stunned by the fierce attack in just one minute. They didn't even swing their weapons a few times before they were beaten to pieces, and their eyes, which they relied on for survival, were not used at all.
Just as the blinded thugs were about to regain their sight, another loud explosion was heard outside the window.
Previously, the rioters were in a panic and didn't hear what the noise was, but this time, they knew what the noise was.
That was the sound of the sentry tower firing—
"boom--"
The powerful factor stream emitted by the sentinel tower shot towards the clouds in the sky, dyeing the dark clouds in the darkness with a layer of blue halo. Then, the second round of blackouts struck again, and darkness fell again.
"bass--"
A blood-red trail was drawn, and in the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes opened. She used the darkness as a cape and the sharp blade as a string, playing the resonance song of the god of death in this boundless darkness along with the ups and downs of screams.
"Uhhhhhh!!"
......
9) The Princess' Shadow (Part 5)
"Haa ...
Leon dragged Ryan and walked forward in the corridor with difficulty. Various screams came from behind, making his nerves tense.
How the hell did this happen...why...
That princess...her hair...she...
No, she is not the princess, who is she?
Could it be that she is... How is it possible... Hasn't she already...
Countless chaotic thoughts converged in Leon's mind, and he was unable to process all this information.
Anyway...anyway, find a safe place first, otherwise you will die.
Leon tried his best to go around the maze-like corridors of the Lion's Den, not giving anyone the possibility to catch up with him. But the load he was dragging was too heavy, and he was out of breath after running for a short distance.
Leon looked at Rein who was being dragged by him. This damn royal guard was still so heavy even after one arm was cut off. He should have cut off all his limbs. What made Leon happy was that Rein had not struggled since he was dragged by him. Instead, he let him do whatever he wanted, like a useless person who had given up hope.
If Leon didn't need a hostage, why would he waste time dragging this old man around?
Looking at the ashen-faced Ryan, Leon couldn't help but open his stinky mouth:
"Hahaha, why are the royal guards so embarrassed? At least put up a fight? At least let the people of the kingdom leave me with a dignified impression before the disastrous defeat?"
As if wanting to get a reply from Ryan, Leon took out the smelly linen cloth from his mouth and looked at the weak royal guard as if he was looking at a joke.
However, the words that Ryan uttered surprised Leon:
"You are so stupid, fat pig," Ryan glanced at Leon, his eyes became sharp, "I am killing you."
"Kill me? Huh?" Leon was stunned at first, then he laughed with a twisted face as if he had heard a big joke. "You old loser with a broken hand, what are you going to use to kill me? That federal bitch and the Thebite chick can't possibly beat so many thugs. Your princess can't even survive three seconds in front of the executioner. What are you going to use to kill me? With your mouth?"
"Shut up, you idiot..." Ryan lowered his head and murmured softly, "I may not be able to kill you, but..."
"But what? You damn old..."
"But she can."
As Ryan smiled softly, a figure quietly appeared at the end of the corridor.
"Shadow, you're here."
Her golden eyes emerged from the darkness, staring at the prey in front of her. There was still a hint of light green at the end of her long brown hair, and her pretty face was as peaceful as death.
Leon stared blankly at the figure that appeared at the end of the corridor. He recognized that person - it was Eshilia, the princess who had knelt in front of him not long ago.
In front of the princess, Leon found a trail of blood, which was directly connected to Ryan's hand and extended all the way from the wound on Ryan's palm.
Could it be... that was when...
"It hurts so much... scratching my hand..." Ryan murmured weakly, "It's still the same, Shadow, you're like a hound..."
Ashlia didn't say anything. She slowly walked towards Leon, staring at him, the sharp blade in her hand swaying slightly in the darkness. Seeing the princess getting closer, Leon left Rein behind and ran away in a panic:
"He.. Damn it, someone come save me!"
Not far away was the reception room, where there were guns, so Leon ran straight towards it. However, before Leon reached the door of the reception room, the door opened -
"You are finally here, Godfather."
Grace pointed a steam revolver at Leon and walked out of the reception room slowly. In Grace's other hand, Leon saw his own shotgun.
"Are you looking for this?"
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Leon was stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw the princess approaching him with trembling hands.
“Damn it…” Leon turned to Grace with a distorted face, “You…you traitor…”
"Traitor? Aren't you the one who instigates rebellion every day? I thought you liked traitors very much, so I played the role of a traitor for once," Gray Yun said casually, forcing Leon to retreat with a revolver. "I also used your favorite sentry tower to set off a few fireworks. How about it, Godfather, do you like it?"
"Fuck... bastard..."
Leon stepped back, as if he was about to turn around and run. But when he turned around, he bumped into the princess who was just a few feet away.
"Fuck... fuck..."
Leon could neither advance nor retreat. Veins popped on his head, and his limbs trembled like a fat pig facing a butcher's knife. Death had not approached this noble godfather who called himself "The Lion of the Sharp Knife" for a long time. When death was so close after a long time, he seemed not as calm as he imagined.
Finally, as if a string in his heart was broken, Leon half-knelt on the ground weakly, like a puppet who had lost his soul.
Seeing that Leon had collapsed, Ashlia slowly walked in front of him, her golden eyes looking down at the executioner who had torn the fragments of the kingdom into pieces. She did not take any action, but just looked at Leon quietly, with a fire burning in her golden eyes.
"Look into those eyes," Ashlia whispered, "I want you to remember the color of her eyes."
"You..." Leon stared at Ashlia dully, his mouth opening and closing, "Wait...wait...you can't..."
The princess did not speak, but remained silent. Looking at Leon's ugly face, she raised the sharp blade in her hand high.
"Ahhhhh!!"
......
“【The Frozen Light】!”
"Ahhhhh!!"
"..."
After several rounds of attacks, the battle in the Lion's Den Hall gradually came to an end. Most of the thugs had been knocked down by Perlis and Pess, and the remaining ones desperately retreated towards the door, huddling together like a flock of disturbed sheep, without any trace of their previous arrogance.
"..."
Facing the thugs at the door, Perlis steadied her breathing, gently wiped the sweat from her head, and gently spun the butterfly knife in her hand. The executioners stood at the forefront of the thugs' formation, forming a line of defense.
Perlis couldn't easily tear through that line of defense, and if she launched an attack rashly, she would die.
And if the confrontation continues...this battle will not end easily.
Even if the destruction of the puppet army meant the defeat of Leon's main army, the thugs directly affiliated with the Sharp Knife Lion family were still a force that could not be underestimated. According to Grace's intelligence, the thugs gathered in the Lion's Nest only accounted for about half of the total number of Leon's men. Even if all of them were killed, there would still be the other half stationed at the border between the Upper City and the Atrium.
That half could not be dealt with by Perlis alone. After the withdrawal reaction of Red Sugar Cane, her legs were already weak from the previous battle. It was only because of her strong willpower that she was still standing.
If the royal government's reinforcements did not arrive as planned, Perlis and her companions would become the kingdom's burial objects, and would be put into a sack and thrown into a crematorium along with the completely decayed dynasty.
"Huh..." Perlis panted softly, looking at the defeated thugs. Those guys seemed to realize the unconcealable decline of [Pure White Fireworks] and began to gather together again, as if they were planning a counterattack.
"Little princess, can you still hold on?"
A figure stood silently in front of Perlis, protecting her behind him. Pace turned his head slightly and looked at Perlis's sweaty forehead with concern.
"No...it's okay," Perlis wiped the sweat from her head and stared at the thugs, "I can still..."
"Don't be so stubborn, let me handle it first," Pace unfolded the factor energy shield on his arm, "If the plan fails, you go first, I can handle it."
"Don't be silly," Perlis whispered softly, "It's okay."
Although she said so, Perlis was actually unsure. In the short time in the big cage, she witnessed countless people in the kingdom shining brightly. Perlis believed in the faith of the people in the kingdom, and also believed in the power of the people in the kingdom. The ancient ideal still burned in their blood like a spell, gilding their souls.
But even so, faith is powerless in the face of reality. If faith can be eaten, where is [Attack King] Rosedes now? Where is Queen Celica now?
No matter what kind of soul it is, after the flesh is pierced, it is just a wisp of green smoke floating into the sky.
This time, they are the ones who should go to heaven——
"Buzzing..."
Perlis gently rotated the bracelet and began to absorb the strong factor energy in the hall. She was ready to use [Factor Burst] to end the battle in one fell swoop. This might exhaust all her strength, and everything that follows will be left to those righteous people of the kingdom.
If all that talk of righteousness could come true, the Kingdom of Grau Yad would stand again.
"Zizzizi..."
As the factor energy field gradually fluctuated, Perlis stared at the thugs at the door. She knew what they were thinking. As long as they could hold out until reinforcements arrived, they still had hope of winning.
At the same time, the thugs also noticed Perlis's movements. As if they realized what she was about to do, the executioners quickly lined up in a row, trying to use the shields in their hands to form a line of defense to resist Perlis's attack.
The atmosphere gradually became tense, and in this tense atmosphere, a decisive battle could break out at any time.
At this moment, a roar came from outside the gate:
"Long live the kingdom (Kingdom language)!"
The gate was kicked open fiercely, and then the royal government's army poured in. Most of them were covered in wounds and looked like they had just experienced a bloody battle. But even so, Perlis saw the flames of victory in their shining eyes.
Did you win?
The thugs were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, but they only received a fatal blow from the Kingdom. Countless and various cold weapons were pointed at them, and a few people were holding stolen federal rifles.
The previous team leader walked at the front of the formation, looking at the panicked thugs in front of him, and shouted:
"Put down your weapons! Otherwise, you will die!"
Seeing that they were doomed to fail, the thugs dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, crying and screaming, without any trace of their previous arrogance. After all, they were just a mob armed with sharp teeth and claws. Without a leader, they had no reason to fight, and they did not have the courage to die for their beliefs.
I won...
When the dust settled, Perlis smiled softly. The burden was lifted, and she suddenly felt very tired, so tired that she wanted to fall asleep.
"very nice..."
Perlis said softly, raising her head slightly. She saw the half-broken crystal chandelier, which should be a federal product, probably selected by Leon himself from a luxury store in the federation.
That guy is really tasteless.
Looking at the crystal chandelier, Perlis's vision gradually blurred. Then, her body lost its balance and fell to the floor.
