"Shut up! You are the traitors! How dare you kidnap the king and try to start a rebellion to overthrow the royal rule!"
"That's right! Queen Mother Phil Farrell has issued an order that Duke Shafa has trespassed into the palace and kidnapped His Majesty King Assan V. All of his accomplices will be guilty of treason."
"No! You are lying! All of this is a conspiracy by the Regent Princess Yalusel. She has taken control of the palace, and the Queen Mother is the one being held hostage."
"Duke Shafa has already said that the child in Princess Yalusel's belly is the Emperor Soth's. They are plotting to kill His Majesty Yasan V so that their own offspring can ascend to the throne."
"Stop wasting time talking to these traitors! Since they are so stubborn, let them all die here!"
…
Accompanied by the sounds of quarreling, fighting, the clanging of weapons, and the painful groans of the wounded, the streets around the entire palace had long since turned into a battlefield, with blood and corpses everywhere.
King Cormyr, who founded the Purple Dragon Legion, would probably never have dreamed that this elite army, regarded as the backbone of the royal family, would one day split into two camps and fight each other.
You have to know that these soldiers and officers do not even have professional ranks, they are just ordinary people who have received some training.
Instead, they are a group of warriors with at least LV1 Purple Dragon Knight professional level.
If the skills required to master the prerequisites are taken into account, most of them have a total professional level of at least LV5.
This also means that the Purple Dragon Legion takes the route of being small but elite. From officers to soldiers, there are only two thousand three or two hundred people in total. They were all bought with a lot of money over the years. The death of one or two hundred people would make the kings of all generations feel heartbroken.
But now, the swords they swore to defend the crown and protect the country were slashing at their own brothers and sisters.
Among them, the 1,500 people led by Duke Shafa clearly had the advantage in numbers.
Although the other side had fewer people, they could get support from arrows and spells from the high towers on the palace walls behind them.
So the two sides were evenly matched in a short period of time.
What's even more terrible is that it is now late at night, and many nobles are taking the opportunity to eliminate political enemies, burn, kill and loot. At a glance, the whole city is full of flames. Even using prophetic magic detection, it is difficult to tell what the situation outside is.
Faced with such a chaotic situation, the smartest thing to do is of course to defend the palace gate and wait until dawn to figure out the situation before making a decision.
After all, Yalusel has the powerful backing of Zuo Si and the empire. As long as he can ensure his own safety, it doesn't matter if he allows the royalists to seize the capital. At most, he can just lead the army and fight back.
But this Iron Princess is obviously not the kind of person who would honestly adopt a conservative strategy.
Because when she was still a jade-aged girl, she followed her father Athan IV across the Falling Star Sea to Serraman and personally participated in the famous battle against the invasion of the nomadic army of the Endless Wilds.
You should know that the role she played in this expedition was not to hide in the rear and cheer, but to personally lead a team of cavalry to directly charge into the enemy that was hundreds of times larger than her own, helping her father win the war.
Precisely because he had military achievements at such a young age that were enough for many people to brag about for the rest of their lives, Yalusel gradually became more and more obsessed with military affairs and wars, eager to win more victories to prove himself, ignoring that these two things were nothing more than the continuation of politics.
So after learning that Duke Shafa had led most of the Purple Dragon Knights to attack the palace, her first reaction was not to hide in a safe place, but to use the magic of transformation to barely put on armor and appear on the city wall with a sword in hand.
This move, which was explosive no matter when it happened, immediately boosted the morale of the defenders and reinforcements.
A leader like this who dares to go to the front line or even lead the charge personally is obviously more likely to win the trust and even admiration of the soldiers than a leader who hides when encountering danger.
After all, they are really prepared to live and die with the soldiers.
This alone is enough to put most rulers far ahead.
Why does Azan IV have such high prestige in the Kingdom of Cormyr?
One of the reasons is that every time he launched a general attack on the enemy in a war, he would always rush to the front of everyone, then find the enemy's highest commander and kill him to complete the beheading.
Never fear!
Never back down! How could such a heroic king not have a group of soldiers who were willing to follow him till death?
Yalusail, who idolizes his father, obviously intends to follow suit.
Her disorderly behavior made the royal wizard, Kaladnai, both overwhelmed and mad. He suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice: "Damn bastard! What the hell do you want to do? Do you know that you are a pregnant woman about to give birth? If something happens to you, the whole kingdom may be flooded with blood!"
"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think."
The Iron Princess curled her lips nonchalantly and squinted her eyes as she watched the Purple Dragon Legion loyal to her leaning against the wall outside the city, struggling to resist the enemy's attack with the help of crossbows, muskets and magic.
The pungent smell of blood and the shouts of killing that reached the sky made the warrior blood in her body begin to boil.
Most importantly, it was night! The power of darkness made Yalusel feel more powerful than ever before.
As long as she wanted, she could even release magic that even high-level wizards could not match without any spells, materials or actions.
"It has nothing to do with whether you are vulnerable or not, but rather that you are taking unnecessary risks by doing something that is out of character for who you are now."
Karadne was obviously furious at this irresponsible behavior.
You have to know that there are nearly two hundred guards using vibranium armor and weapons, as well as more than fifty battle mages in the palace. It is definitely enough to defend the palace and prevent the rebels outside from attacking.
There is no need for the regent Yalusel to join in the fun.
What we should really do now is to stay with Phil Farrell and use the prestige of the Queen Mother to suppress King Assan V who is being held hostage by the rebels.
“I know what you mean.
But that would most likely mean serious damage to Suzal and the entire kingdom.
Look at the fire in the distance, we must quickly put down the rebellion and restore everything to peace, otherwise the whole city will be burned down.
Where is Shafa? Hasn't he shown up yet, the instigator of the rebellion?
Yalusel opened his eyes wide and kept searching in the chaotic streets, trying to find the other party.
Since she became pregnant, she has gained some kind of dark vision ability, which allows her to see farther and more clearly than ordinary humans at night.
Kaladnai shook his head helplessly. “You should know that Shafa is a very cautious person. Unless the situation is extremely critical, he rarely joins the battle personally. I just wanted to confirm his location through prophecy magic, but I was interrupted without exception.”
"You mean there's a powerful spellcaster at his side?"
Yalusail asked in an uncertain tone.
"have no idea.
Perhaps it was the work of a spell, or perhaps it was a magical item.
From this point of view alone, the rebellion was by no means a spur-of-the-moment idea, but was fully prepared in advance.
I even suspect that quite a few nobles were involved.
Don't forget that there are always many people who oppose you in Parliament.
So the situation is quite complicated, and the problem may be much more serious than you think.”
Karadne explained patiently.
Because with the appearance of Lord Yalusel, it was no longer possible for her to drive the regent princess back, which would deal a huge blow to the morale of the defenders and reinforcements.
In desperation, he could only order several guards holding shields to follow closely behind him.
But Yalusel ignored the Royal Mage's tense nerves and said directly, "In this case, why don't we open the city gates and take the initiative to attack and defeat these rebels in one fell swoop?"
"What? Are you crazy? We don't even know how many rebels are out on the streets right now."
Karadnei stared with eyes wide open as if he was looking at a lunatic with a disordered brain.
“That’s why I have to confirm it.
My father has emphasized to me more than once that I should never be intimidated by the numbers and momentum of the enemy.
Because the more powerful and invincible they appear, the weaker they are inside.
Many times, it only takes a swift and decisive attack to defeat it.
What's more, I have a strong guard that is almost invulnerable."
After that, Yalusel turned around and told his captain of the guards, "Inform everyone immediately to ride on the dragon blood war horses sent from the empire. In ten minutes, I will open the palace gate and rush out to attack the enemy."
"As you wish!"
The captain of the guard raised his fist and patted his chest hard, his eyes shining with excitement and anticipation.
Because since the establishment of this guard, they have enjoyed the highest military pay and treatment in the entire Kingdom of Cormyr, wearing the strongest magic armor and using the sharpest enchanted weapons, but have never participated in a war. They have been criticized since the moment they were established.
Now, they finally have the chance to prove they deserve it.
After all, the Purple Dragon Legion has always been the most powerful army in the entire country, and it is the key force that determines the final outcome every time a war breaks out.
If these proud Purple Dragon Knights could be defeated or even completely destroyed, then the reputation of the Regent Guard would spread throughout Cormyr, and no one would ever question whether they deserved such good treatment.
With a strong desire to prove themselves, the entire guard quickly assembled on the tall and strong dragon horses in an open space in the square less than a hundred meters away from the palace gate.
Needless to say, those mounts, covered with red scales harder than steel armor and with heads that looked more like dragons than horses, were the result of Zuo Si's hybridization of dragon blood creatures a few years ago.
However, as he had more and more resources, technology, and power, he had long since looked down on these dispensable things.
But for other forces on the continent of Faerun, the dragon horse is absolutely a powerful weapon, equivalent to a super-heavy tank in the era of cold weapons.
Not only are they over 2.8 meters tall at the shoulder, but their muscles are as strong as Dwayne Johnson in the horse world. Even through the scales, one can feel the terrifying explosive power contained in their copper-cast and iron-cast muscles.
The most important thing is that these dragon horses do not eat grass or feed, but like red dragons, they have stomachs that can convert all matter into fire element energy, and they especially like to eat fresh raw meat.
This means that their teeth are extremely sharp and can bite through a cow's thigh bone with one bite, and they can also spit deadly flames from their mouths.
At present, not only has a stable genetic gene been formed, but there are also several populations of considerable size.
Of course, since these horses inherited the red dragon's violent character, it would take a powerful knight to tame them.
Otherwise, within a few days, the latter will turn into feces excreted by the dragon horse.
Looking at the team that he had built with huge sums of money and countless efforts, the heart of a warrior and commander in Yalusel began to beat violently, as if he had returned to the age of sixteen overnight, facing the endless and boundless army of nomads on the grassland of Sleiman.
She was just like she is now, with a mixture of fear and excitement, as if half of her was immersed in ice water and the other half was burning in flames.
After a full minute of silence, the regent princess raised her chin slightly and said in an extremely proud tone: "You all should know what it means to open this door. But I only want to say one thing, that is, no matter how many rebels there are, they will be turned into meat paste under our iron hoofs."
"Overwhelm them!"
"Crush them!"
“We will win!!!”
…
Accompanied by deafening shouts, the guards, numbering just over two hundred, instantly entered a state of high mental excitement.
The dragon horse under his crotch seemed to feel this emotion as well, and it kept kicking its hooves restlessly, spewing black smoke and sparks from its mouth and nose.
Soon, at Yalusel's signal, the huge winch began to turn slowly.
After a while, the iron gate slowly rose up, and then the door that was originally closed suddenly opened.
"attack!"
The Iron Princess, with her big belly, raised high the lance with the royal emblem in her hand, and rushed out first like an arrow.
The guards in the rear quickly formed an attack formation while running, holding up long spears that reflected a cold light in the firelight, and charged straight towards the nearest rebels in the front.
The huge noise and vibration caused by the dragon horse, which weighed more than two and a half tons, stepping on the ground immediately attracted the attention of the two warring parties.
After all, cavalry is an absolute decisive battle force.
Even if there are only dozens or even one or two hundred of them, they can play a decisive role at the critical moment. Any commander with a little common sense would never dare to take it lightly.
Moreover, although two hundred cavalrymen may not sound like a lot, the visual effect when they actually launch a charge is definitely much more shocking than you might imagine. It feels like there are thousands of people.
Any army with poor psychological quality would collapse instantly upon seeing this kind of charge scene.
"Form a formation! Quickly form a formation!"
A rebel officer shouted at the top of his lungs after a brief moment of shock.
Because of the previous battle, both sides inevitably fell into a fight with chaotic formations, and many people abandoned their long weapons and used short weapons and shields for close combat.
Such infantry is simply unable to withstand the charge of heavy cavalry.
But unfortunately, it's too late.
Longma's powerful explosive power and speed were fully demonstrated at this moment.
Although their overall style resembles that of Shire horses on Earth and they look very clumsy from a distance, they actually run much faster than ordinary war horses.
The distance from the palace gate to the battlefield ahead was less than 500 meters and it took less than ten seconds to reach the destination.
This is more than three times the sprint speed of an ordinary warhorse, which does not give the enemy any time to react at all.
With a loud bang, the first unlucky guy who stood in the way of the guards' charge was knocked away by Yalusel's mount. He spurted out a blood mist with a "wow" sound in mid-air, and his entire chest and armor were obviously dented, and then he fell on the street in the distance, motionless.
You don't need to ask to know that with the chest cavity sunken like that, basically all the ribs are broken, and the heart and lungs have been shattered in an instant. There is no way he could have survived.
The commander who shouted to form a formation was pierced through by a lance and nailed to death on the spot.
This extremely shocking and impactful scene immediately caused chaos in the rebels' front formation.
The chaotic military formation created opportunities for subsequent cavalry charges.
They were like a sharp arrow, piercing into the enemy's weakest point at lightning speed, causing huge casualties in just a few minutes.
Whether they were killed by the huge kinetic energy generated by running at high speed, killed by being pierced by lances, or burned to death by the dragon horse's deadly flame breath, the total number of people added up to more than four hundred.
You have to know that during the previous civil war between the Purple Dragon Legion, the fighting lasted for so long, and the rebels only suffered about 300 casualties.
With such huge casualties in an instant, even if the troops are the most elite and their morale is not broken, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced because the command system has been severely damaged.
What was even more deadly was that the cavalry's charge successfully cut the enemy's originally complete formation into pieces and dispersed them into completely different narrow streets.
The Purple Dragon Legion, still loyal to the Regent Princess, seized this opportunity and immediately concentrated their local superior forces to pursue the enemy relentlessly.
Anyone with a little military knowledge would understand what it meant if an army was cut down by cavalry.
So after realizing that defeat was inevitable, some ordinary soldiers at the bottom began to lay down their weapons and surrender.
After all, this was a civil war within the royal family, and their families had not been kidnapped, so there was naturally no need for them to fight to the last moment like those officers did when they knew they were defeated.
Yalusail, who already had a certain level of political literacy, did not embarrass these soldiers. Instead, he asked the reinforcements from the Purple Dragon Legion to accept the surrender and guard the prisoners, while he rode on horseback and chased the fugitives, shouting, "Shafa! If you are still a man, get out here!
Don't always hide in the shadows like a despicable and sinister villain.
Since you have the ability to launch a coup, you should be prepared to bear the consequences of failure.
Instead of abandoning your men and running away like a coward.
You who always talk about family honor, don't you even have the dignity and bottom line of a knight?"
As these words came out of her mouth, a sharp arrow flashing with a dark light suddenly broke through the air and shot accurately into the eyes of the Regent Princess.
It is not difficult to judge from the strange color of the arrow that this thing is definitely coated with a deadly poison that kills instantly, and it is obvious that it will use any means to kill it.
Unfortunately, although this arrow was fast, fierce, accurate, and at a very close distance, it did not give Yalusel any time to react. However, when it was half a meter away from the body, it was suddenly deflected by an invisible protective force field. It turned a corner and pierced into the neck of the warhorse without even touching the armor.
Poof! The extremely sharp enchanted arrowhead pierced through the hard red scales without any hindrance, and the poison took effect on the spot, causing the dragon horse to fall to the ground and wail in pain. It died not long after.
The Regent Princess, who had just gotten up from the ground, gasped when she saw this scene.
Several guards nearby tightened their reins and jumped off their horses, quickly raising their shields to form a defensive formation without putting their loyal monarch in the middle.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
A female warrior helped Yalusel up and asked with concern.
后者赶忙摇了摇头:“我没事。小心,这里可能有埋伏。”
话音未落!
几个人影就从黑暗中缓缓走了出来,为首的赫然正是沙法公爵。
只见他拔出佩剑用充满傲慢与轻蔑的语气讽刺道:“现在才发现有埋伏不觉得太晚了一点吗?你还真是跟以前一样,从来都不会吸取失败的教训。”
“你早就知道我会主动出击?”
雅卢赛尔下意识皱起了眉头。
“没错。
因为我太了解你了,更知道你绝对不可能老老实实的待在王宫里等待天亮。
说实话,如果你留在王宫内我可能还真没有什么太好的办法。
毕竟那里一直都处在王室家族的控制下,任何人都无法将自己的手伸进去。
但遗憾的是你的自大和愚蠢帮了我一个大忙。
现在,我无需再花心思去对付那些仍旧还终于你的士兵,只需要将你抓住就能结束一切。”
沙法一边说着,一边指挥身边的黑衣人迅速从两侧把摄政公主连带其身边的护卫包围起来。
几乎与此同时,那些躲在街道两旁建筑物屋顶手持弓弩发动伏击的射手也终于现身,数量竟然多达二十人。
很显然,这是一个早就布置好的圈套。
由于追击溃逃叛军的缘故,卫队早已分散成小股部队四面出击,雅卢赛尔自己距离王宫有了相当远的距离,根本不可能通过呼喊之类的行为招来援军。
不过意识到这一点的她并未表现出慌乱,反倒是冷笑着反问道:“你觉得就凭这点人就能将我和我身边的护卫拿下?”
“如果换成是正常状态下,想拿下你当然不会太容易。
毕竟你好歹也算是身经百战,战斗经验相当的丰富。
可问题是你现在是个孕妇。
挺着即将生产的大肚子又能保持多少战斗力呢?
更何况我还曾经做过你的老师。”
说罢,沙法公爵放下了头盔的面甲开始向一步步的前逼近。
作为紫龙军团的最高指挥官,他可不是那种靠混资历上去的平庸之辈,而是一名拥有LV10战士和LV5紫龙骑士,总等级高达LV15的高阶战士。
“我不明白,以你的地位和立场为什么要发动叛乱?”雅卢赛尔摆出迎战姿态质问道。
因为这个问题真的困扰了她很久,完全搞不清楚对方的动机。
要知道沙法效忠的可不是某个具体的国王,而是整个王室家族。
换掉现在的亚桑五世则是整个王室全体成员经过商量之后做出的决定。
而且就算换了新国王,其权力、地位和家族都不会受到任何影响。
按照正常的行为逻辑,应该完全没有冒这种风险的必要。
毕竟就算亚桑五世在政变结束后成功保住了王位,等他一点一点长大后也会由于想要掌权而跟沙法公爵爆发冲突。
完全就是典型的出力不讨好。
至于野心勃勃想要架空国王乃至取代延续了千年的王室家族,基本是不可能做到的事情。
原因很简单! 科米尔王国已经加入了贸易同盟,这也就意味着王室家族的地位已经得到了该组织全体成员的承认。
王室内部争权夺利倒好好说,但要是有谁胆敢玩改朝换代那一套,就需要考虑自己打不打得过包括西海岸帝国在内所有成员组成的庞大联军。
所以像这种风险又大、能拿到的好处又少得可怜的举动,根本不像是沙法公爵一贯以来的行事风格。
“当然是为了维护科米尔王位传承的正统!我绝不允许你和你肚子里那个孩子取代亚桑五世陛下!”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出,沙法猛然间发起冲锋衣迅雷不及掩耳的速度来到近前。
一名卫兵想要阻止,但是却被从另外一侧射出的箭矢牵制,只能举盾替自家君主进行格挡。
沙法利用这个空挡,抬起脚猛地揣向摄政公主圆滚滚的肚子。
由于后者行动不便的关系,显然没办法像平时那样灵活闪避,结果当场被结结实实的踹中了。
正常情况下,如果孕妇遭到这样的猛烈攻击,大概率会瞬间流产并疼晕过去。
可让所有人都难以置信的是,雅卢赛尔非但没有受伤,甚至还站在原地一动没动。
反倒是沙法公爵突然发出一声惨叫,随后扑通一声摔倒在地,踹出去的那条腿则反向折迭成九十度,似乎是被某种巨大的力量给硬生生掰折了。
就连精钢打造的腿甲和护膝都扭曲的不成样子。
“啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!!!!!!”
无法用语言形容的剧痛令其眼球外突、汗如雨下,整个人完全失去战斗力,就连想要站都站不起来。
突如其来的巨变让周围所有人都傻了眼。
他们完全搞不清楚究竟发生了什么,更不知道沙法公爵的腿是怎么断的。
就在这一愣神的功夫,一名躲在后面隐藏在斗篷和兜帽下的男人突然掏出一张魔法卷轴,毫不犹豫的将其激活。
转瞬之间!
强大的魔法能量便涌入摄政公主的身体。
正当他满怀期待想要看到对方的身体从内部炸裂开,鲜血、碎肉和内脏四散飞溅时,结果却发现这些能量仿佛泥牛入海般完全没有一丁点动静。
整整十几秒钟过后,这家伙才像疯子一样大喊道:“不!这不可能!那可是九环神术【内爆术】!怎么可能会完全没有反应?”
下一秒……
轰!!!!!!
他自己身体突然毫无征兆的炸裂开,完全跟中了内爆术一模一样。
法术复制?
还是反弹?
在场为数不多的几名施法者都将目光投向了摄政公主。
因为这种情况实在是太诡异了,让原本想要动手的法师、术士和牧师们都不敢轻举妄动。
就在场面陷入僵持的时候,一阵刺耳癫狂的笑声由远而近。
顺着发出声音的方向,所有人都看到了一个身材消瘦的人类男性身影。
他有着一双摄人心神的黑色眼睛,皮肤异常的苍白就好像吸血鬼一样,仅仅只是出现就立刻吸引了所有的目光。
部分蒙面人更是立马跪在地上,开始大声吟诵赞美神祇的诗篇。
不用问也知道,这个神秘的男人就是整件事情的幕后黑手,唯一一个敢向费伦大陆包括神上神艾欧在内所有神祇宣战的谎言王子希瑞克。
他出现之后两只眼睛就一直盯着雅卢赛尔,确切地说是隆起的小腹,过了好一会儿才抿起嘴角说道:“还尚未出生就已经有了保护自己及其母亲的本能吗?而且轻而易举就反弹了九环神术,怎么看都拥有惊人的潜力。真没有枉费我花了那么多的心思。”
“伟……伟大的至上真神!这个女人和他肚子里的孩子有问题,恳请您赐予我们更多、更强大的力量。”
一名希瑞克的信徒跪在地上满脸狂热向自己的主人祈求。
但是很可惜,他显然并不明白谎言王子的邪恶、冷酷与残忍。
尤其是对弱者和失败者,绝对不会有哪怕一丝一毫的怜悯。
希瑞克甚至都没有正眼瞧对方,抬起手轻轻一点,这个蠢货的身体就瞬间瓦解,灵魂也被无形的力量死死攥着,发出充满恐惧和绝望的尖啸。
等做完这一切,他才拔出武器用不容置疑的语气对雅卢赛尔说道:“凡人,你的孩子现在属于我了。是你自己动手把他取出来,还是让我亲自动手?”
“别做梦了!我才不会把孩子交给你!”
摄政公主显然已经认出希瑞克的化身,整个人紧张的连握剑的手都在轻微颤抖。
毕竟再弱小的神明也是神明,绝非凡人所能企及。
她现在唯一希望的就是左思能快点察觉到这里的情况赶来救场。
“哼!冥顽不灵!这样的话我就不客气了。”
谎言王子整个人瞬间化作残影,以肉眼根本无法捕捉的速度出现在雅卢赛尔身后,挥动匕首就要划开她的肚子。
但好在有一位卫兵第一时间反应过来,用手中的盾牌成功挡住了剑锋。
铛! 伴随着金属碰撞发出的巨响,希瑞克满脸惊愕的发现自己手中的神器,竟然没能刺穿眼前那面看上去十分不起眼的盾牌。
雅卢赛尔则趁机挥舞利剑反手去割谎言王子的喉咙,成功将其逼退出去七八米远。
“凡人,你们身上的盔甲、武器和盾牌所使用的金属似乎很有趣。我想它应该不是这个世界的产物吧?”希瑞克饶有兴致的询问。
尽管只有一瞬间的接触,但他还是凭借神明的威能察觉到了振金的特性,即坚不可摧和吸收能量。
不过刚才成功格挡神明化身攻击的卫兵却察觉到,自己的盾牌表面已然被神器长剑扎出一个很深的口子,差一点就被穿透了。
Obviously, although vibranium is considered a relatively hard substance among mortal objects, it is still not strong enough compared to weapons made of divine power.
Unless divine power or quasi-divine power is added to make it a divine weapon, it will be completely destroyed after only a few hits.
But even so, it is still an excellent material.
After all, it was an attack from God, and even being able to successfully block it would be a big deal.
"Prince of Lies, aren't you afraid of Soth's revenge by doing this?"
Yalusel asked sternly, trying to intimidate the other party with the name of the child's father.
But unfortunately, this trick may be of some use to those rational gods, but it is obviously useless to psychopaths and lunatics.
Xirik even let out a mocking laugh.
“Hahahahahaha!
Don't you know that he and I have been mortal enemies for a long time?
I would do anything without hesitation to make him feel pain and despair.
I will take your child and train him to be a sharp sword to use against Thor.
When I think of the upcoming fight between father and son, my mood becomes extremely happy.
After all, no matter whether the result is the father killing the son or the son killing the father, I can get supreme happiness from it. "
"You are such a disgusting pervert. No wonder people nowadays regard believing in you as a shame."
After learning about the sinister intentions, Yalusel has made up his mind that he would never let the other party succeed even if he died in battle.
"snort!
The reason why I have fallen to this point today is all because of Basos.
If it weren't for this damn bastard, I would still be the most powerful god in the kingdom, possessing all the duties and powers of the Three Gods of Death.
It was he who schemed and scheming to resurrect the god of tyranny, Bane, and then colluded with Jaeger to support that bitch Kelemvor. Finally, he joined forces with the gods to invade my kingdom and inflicted the greatest humiliation on me in my life.
I will never forget these great favors.”
Just when Xirik completely released that strong malice and hatred, a black shadow suddenly emerged slowly from Yalusel's lower abdomen, quickly swallowing up everything around it.
In the blink of an eye, all the covered areas fell into darkness and silence.
No light! No sound!
Even the sense of touch and taste disappeared! I couldn't even feel my own breathing and heartbeat! It was as if even time had come to a complete standstill!
This...what is going on?
Completely confused about the situation, Yalusel subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the guards around him, but found that he could not sense the existence of his arms or even his body.
This strange and completely unknown phenomenon aroused subconscious fear to the greatest extent.
Just when she was completely at a loss, a cold light suddenly appeared in front of her.
With his powerful divine perception, Xirik managed to find Yalusel's position in this environment, and with a grim smile, he stabbed the latter's lower abdomen with a long sword blessed with divine power.
Because the Prince of Lies knew that this dark force that could interfere with even his own divine power all came from the unborn baby.
As long as he catches this baby, no matter how chaotic the Kingdom of Cormyr becomes, or even if it is destroyed, it will have nothing to do with him.
"No!!!!!"
Seeing the divine sword cutting through the armor, the sharp tip was already very close to the skin of the abdomen. Even the hairs on his body stood up one by one, sensing the danger. Yalusel immediately used all his strength to swing the weapon to block.
But before her body could react, a huge hand made of black shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere, tightly grasped Xirik's sword and stopped it there, leaving only a very small gap on the surface of the skin. Dark red blood slowly flowed down the wound, staining the close-fitting white clothes red.
The next second...
Thump! Thump! Thump! Yalusel suddenly heard the sound of his own heart beating violently.
Not only that!
She also felt that a dark consciousness was entering her brain and even her soul, taking over her body at an extremely fast speed.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow quickly formed a terrifying huge shape on the surface, like a blazing black flame.
This huge dark form has no legs, and its lower body is supported by a vortex-like, constantly stirring energy field. Its upper body is a huge inverted triangle that is hundreds of meters high, and its two arms end with terrifying claws.
As for the head, since it was completely invisible, Yalusel had no idea what it looked like.
But what is certain is that if it appears in this state of dignity anywhere in the continent of Faerun, it will instantly scare the local residents to faint.
Just as she was feeling overwhelmed by what she saw, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
"Don't be afraid, Mother, it's me."
"Mother? You...you are..."
Yalusel seemed to understand something suddenly, and his mental state immediately became extremely excited. Not only was he no longer afraid, he almost shed tears.
Of course, the premise is that she can still control her tear glands to secrete tears.
