Chapter 376 Chapter 374: Death of the Crown Prince (Two in One)
Time: Morning, June 28, 314 New Divine Calendar.
Location: Sara, Bosnia Province, Habsburg Empire.
This was a grand welcome ceremony. Starting from the semicircular gate of Sara City, colorful banners were hung with large golden characters writing a welcome to the visitors.
The stone-paved road was cleaned very carefully, and both sides were filled with people, led by noble gentlemen in suits and ties.
Walking along the main street, dense crowds of people stretched to the end of the sight. There were so many people that it seemed as if all the people in the city of Sara had gathered here.
On both sides, many people held up wooden signs or pulled banners with various welcome messages written on them.
It wasn't until a Spunk brand magic car drove from the end of the road that the cheers rang out like a tsunami.
Besides the driver, there were only two people in the car, a man and a woman, both dressed in fancy clothes.
The man was about forty years old, with neatly groomed black hair and two neatly trimmed mustaches on his lips that were slightly upturned.
He had a long and narrow face, sharp eyes, a faint smile at the corners of his lips, and a hat in his hand, which he would raise and wave from time to time.
Even when it reached the city gate, a middle-aged nobleman of obviously extraordinary status came to greet it, but the magic car did not stop, but only slowed down.
The man sat there arrogantly, smiling and nodding, with no intention of getting up.
His attitude made the visitor look unhappy, and his smile seemed forced.
However, next to the man, there was an elegant lady who was chatting with the visitor with a smile on her face.
This lady had the most popular fluffy curly hair, bright and innocent eyes, a generous smile and elegant manners.
Her smile made the visitor look much better.
However, the magic car did not stop, so they could only talk for a few words before crossing the city gate and entering the city of Sara.
Even here, the man just raised his hat and waved casually as a response.
Of course, he also had the qualifications to be arrogant. As the eldest son of Hohenzollern III and the crown prince of the Habsburg Empire, he was the man destined to inherit the imperial throne.
But just a few hundred meters after the magic car drove into the street, a black muzzle of a gun stretched out from the crowd.
Bang!
A gunshot seemed insignificant amid the cheers, but it was like a thunderclap, startling countless people.
Fortunately, this magic car has its own protection, and a circular shield is instantly erected to block the bullet.
But this is just the beginning!
The gunshot was like a signal. At that moment, countless gun barrels were extended. The lit magic patterns were inconspicuous in the sunlight, but the gunshots rang out one after another, crackling and continuous.
The magic shield only lasted for a moment before it was completely shattered.
However, the ring on the crown prince's finger lit up again, and a water-blue shield was erected again.
This shield was obviously water magic, and it had a significant effect in weakening the kinetic energy of the bullet. When the bullet entered it, its speed slowed down rapidly until it solidified in mid-air.
At this time, the driver reacted, stepped on the accelerator, and the car started to move forward.
The guards at the back also reacted, and countless royal knights began to rush forward. Many of them had space props on them, and they took out magic shields and were about to form a shield wall.
More of them targeted the assassins around them. Some threw javelins, some swung out their fighting spirit, and some leaped up and pounced down.
Of course, some people took out magical firearms and started sniping the assassins.
It’s not that they didn’t react quickly enough, it’s just that the incident happened too suddenly.
Moreover, this was a welcoming ceremony after all, and there were too many people. When the gunshots rang out, cheers turned into screams, and order turned into escape.
As a result, the scene became a complete mess.
Their movements were swift and their attacks were sharp, but at this moment when heads were moving around, not many of their attacks hit the assassins accurately, but a large number of people were injured by mistake.
Because of these people's accidental injuries, the scene became even more chaotic!
At this time, the real strong ones also came out.
A mighty flame of fighting spirit exploded, and a powerful natural disaster holding a knight's sword came from the air.
But he came quickly and left even faster!
A golden fist appeared in the air, three meters high, with the texture of the skin visible on it.
Then, the Scourge Knight was knocked out with a punch.
This is the Nine Ring Spell, Bigby's King Kong Fist.
On a tall building in the distance, a fourth-level wizard in a robe appeared.
He pointed his wand, and the fist changed direction, smashing down another berserker who was holding up his shield.
The combat power of the Scourge Mages has always been puzzling. It's not that they lack means, but that they have too many.
If they are well prepared, for example, if they have powerful enough magic scrolls, props, or have set up magic circles, then the combat power they show will be very impressive.
Even the legendary tiger whiskers can be touched.
Just like the one before him, with the superposition of various magical expertise and the preparation of spellcasting materials, the 'Bigby Diamond Fist' he used could even suppress the tempers of several fourth-level warriors at the same time.
But their fight is only a small part of the chaos.
An assassin appeared out of nowhere, with a short blade flashing with dark fighting spirit. With just one slash, the water-blue shield was torn open.
But the next second, a warrior covered in dark golden fighting spirit fell from the sky. He carried a tower shield as thick as a wall and blocked the black short blade.
The short blade slashed across the tower shield, as smooth as a knife cutting through butter, and directly cut a hole in it.
It's hard to imagine how sharp this short blade is. Unfortunately, it's still a little short and can't completely tear through the thick tower shield.
And the fourth-level warrior, carrying the tower shield, burst out with the muscles in his legs, took off, stepped forward, and ran wildly...
In just a moment, he faced the fourth-level assassin and escaped from the battlefield.
In the distance, a fighting spirit as strong as a hurricane cut through the air, as if it was going to completely cover the street.
A ball of icy light rose from the ground, as if it could freeze the space, and actually wrapped up the Dou Qi Slash.
boom!
A huge noise was heard, the ground shook three times, and dust fell quickly.
Someone actually fired a cannon from a distance. The person who fired the cannon must be a master. The cannonball was accurately aimed at the rear of the magic car.
Just as it was about to break into pieces, a sword light suddenly rose up, carrying with it an extremely sharp fighting spirit, and split the shell into two halves.
However, the shell, which was split into two halves, still exploded in mid-air.
Inside, countless fragments were flying everywhere, and the people and houses around were shot into sieves.
Amidst the crackling sounds, dust and blood mist mixed together, it was so miserable!
Only where the swordsman was, a magic barrier rose first, and then sword lights rose and fell, turning into sword shadows all over the sky, blocking all the fragments.
However, he did not dare to move, because in the distance, it seemed that there was another artillery shell aimed at this location.
Without him, the magic car seemed to have lost its last line of defense. The brick and stone ground suddenly cracked, and a figure jumped out of the soil.
In his hands were two exaggeratedly shaped magical guns, the muzzles of which were as thick as gun barrels. Lighted magic patterns were attached to the crystals, and two armor-piercing bullets as thick as a baby's arm were about to be fired out.
This kind of exclusive magic firearm is already a freak, and its power must be enormous.
But the recoil is extremely exaggerated. In fact, every trigger may be a one-shot deal. The bullet is fired and explodes.
But for the assassin, this one strike is enough!
Under the hood, the assassin's face was completely covered, only his scarlet eyes were filled with hatred, fanaticism and excitement.
At this time, in the magic car, the crown prince's face was extremely ugly, but he was still very calm.
On the side, the lady took out a diamond-shaped crystal pendant, as if it was about to be crushed in the next second.
At this moment, a roar was heard from the distant sky: "You are looking for death!"
The mere sound seemed to shake the heaven and earth. People who were in it felt as if they had been hit hard on the head. Those who were stronger could still keep their balance.
Those who are weaker will just hold their heads and scream in pain!
Then I saw that at the end of the sky, among the clouds, there seemed to be a blue sea surging.
The waves at the front seemed to have formed countless war horses, galloping wildly, like thousands of knights charging on the battlefield.
This is legendary!
How could the Crown Prince travel without the protection of a legendary master?!
But the next second, the clear sky suddenly darkened, and the power of the abyss filled with the smell of sulfur spread, turning into dark clouds, blocking the galloping war horses.
A terrifying figure slowly stood up from the shadows. He had six arms, each holding a long sword. The oppressive feeling came like an overwhelming force.
I don’t know who summoned a thrilling demon lord, the six-armed snake demon, from the bottomless abyss!
The next moment, the battle between the legendary strongman and the secondary demon lord broke out completely.
The sky was completely covered by the azure and pitch-black power. The two sides were entangled with each other, and their roars seemed to shake the heaven and earth.
At this moment, the assassin finally pulled the trigger!
The flames spurting out of the exaggerated gun barrel were as long as one meter, and countless shotgun shells were fired, covering the entire magic car.
The assassin was knocked to the ground by the powerful recoil. His arms were twisted irregularly and white bones were exposed.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and his eyes began to blur.
With this blow, he will die first as a sign of respect!
There was no doubt about the power of this attack. The aqua-blue shield was shattered directly. However, the crystal crushed by the lady raised a diamond-shaped crystal shield around it to block the remaining fragments.
With identities like theirs, who knows how many cards they have up their sleeves?
But at this moment, the crown prince seemed to sense something was wrong. He lowered his head slightly and suddenly found that there was a hole in his chest.
His eyes were full of disbelief, but when he turned his head to look, he found that his wife, the noble lady, had fallen down.
There was also a bloody hole on her forehead, and her eyes were wide open, with her eyes open even in death.
There were still small crushed crystals in her hands.
At this moment, he suddenly understood that there was a real master of firearms lying in ambush nearby.
His grasp of timing is impeccable!
Magic has its own rules. Unless it is specially designed, defensive magic must be cast one by one!
To put it simply, the crystal shield can only be activated after the aqua blue shield is broken, even if it is only a tiny bit, but it must follow this order.
Otherwise, the latter shield and the previous magic will conflict with each other, which may easily cause the spell to fail.
If you apply it to these sealed magics, it will lose its effect.
For the instant items in their hands, this is a very short gap.
But someone anticipated this gap and fired two shots in succession, sending bullets into their bodies after the aqua-blue shield shattered and before the crystal shield was put back up.
Then, they died!
The death was somewhat hasty, but that was the reality!
No matter how powerful you are or how many treasures you have, you may die if you are careless.
At this moment, someone in the chaotic crowd raised his head slightly.
As if to make a final confirmation, he quickly lowered his head, turned around again, and his appearance changed.
Originally, he had ordinary clothes, ordinary looks, and ordinary figure, the kind that would be invisible in a crowd.
But with just a turn, he turned into a thin nobleman wearing a top hat and gentleman's suit.
He was like an ordinary person who had strayed into a battlefield, fleeing in panic, diving into the alley nearby and running away.
No one cares about the lives of ordinary people, but the lives of nobles are still very valuable.
It’s not that no one noticed him, but because of the way he was dressed, everyone thought he was a local noble.
When they attacked, they more or less avoided him, and although he seemed to be in a panic, his steps were extremely agile, and he was always covered when his body flashed.
It was not until he disappeared in the chaotic battlefield that someone discovered the dead crown prince and princess.
"The Crown Prince is dead!"
"Archduke and Madame Franz are dead!"
The shrill howls spread across the noisy battlefield, as if possessing incredible magic. Even the most intense fighting was frozen at this moment.
Then, all eyes converged on the magic car, looking at the two people who had died.
At this moment, some people felt like the sky was falling. Their expressions changed from frozen to disbelief, then from disbelief to collapse, and finally to desperate madness in the collapse.
Of course, some people fell into great ecstasy, as if they had accomplished some unattainable mission, and their whole body was trembling.
The next moment, the battle broke out again!
The only difference from before was that one side chose to escape.
They are assassins. If they succeed in their attack, they will naturally flee thousands of miles away.
The other side was entangled and fighting desperately, not even caring about their own lives. Even if it meant exchanging injuries for injuries, they had to keep them completely.
These people, whether in public or in secret, are all carefully selected guards whose duty is to protect the safety of the crown prince.
But now, the crown prince is dead, and they are still alive?!
Without having to think too much, they knew what they were about to face.
The people spurned them, the cabinet condemned them, the royal family punished them, the history books condemned them, and even their own inner self-blame...
The moment the crown prince died, they were finished. Perhaps the only thing they could do was to avenge the crown prince and kill these assassins to alleviate some of their guilt.
At this moment, the madness they showed was not an act!
Even the legendary warrior in the sky has gone berserk.
The aqua-blue fighting spirit was overwhelming, as if it was crazy, setting off one terrifying tsunami after another, trying to tear the secondary demon lord, the six-armed snake demon, into pieces.
Of course, the six-armed snake demon is not easy to deal with.
The six arms held six abyss swords. The rich power of the abyss gathered and transformed into dark sword lights. They counterattacked madly, wanting to chop everything into pieces with the sword lights.
Their fight was so intense that it threatened to tear the sky apart. The violent collisions stretched out cracks like spider webs, which continued to spread.
From time to time, water-blue fighting spirit splashed down, or the abyss of sword light tore the earth apart.
The city of Nasala was like a painting. Wherever the aftermath passed, it either left deep ravines or was directly wiped out.
The specific number of casualties is simply impossible to calculate!
This is the horror of legend, a combat power that should not appear in the main material plane.
But no matter how fiercely they fought or how tragic the losses were, they could not cover up one thing.
Archduke Franz is dead!
The Crown Prince of the Empire, the next Imperial Majesty, the son of His Majesty Hohenzollern III, died here!
The chaos and impact caused by this are only partially revealed here.
…
Time: July 5, 314 New Divine Calendar.
Location: Duchy of Normandy, Flower Territory, Brussels, Lion Castle, second floor, in the study.
Luo Yi looked at the information in his hand, then at the information from various channels on the desk. His expression was ugly and nervous, but also somewhat strangely relieved.
Again, in a world with magic, messages can be transmitted very slowly or very quickly.
Everything depends on whether the news is important and whether it will receive enough attention!
The death of the crown prince was the most significant event. In just six or seven days, news of what happened in the southeast of the empire had reached him.
There was a message from the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group in Oakland City, an urgent letter from Baron Miller, news from Grand Duchess Aphra, and countless people in Siren Harbor talking about it...
By now, it is no longer just a matter of Sara City, even many of the follow-ups have been disclosed.
For example, the organizer of this assassination was actually a Serb active in the Balkan region.
Their leader is none other than Galino Princillin, who is already known as the 'Assassin King'.
He was a powerful magic gunman who created the chaos and shot the crown prince and his wife in the chaos.
Everyone believed that he was a Serb prince, the only legitimate heir to the former Kingdom of Bosnia, and had unparalleled appeal in the Balkan region.
Of course, in the final analysis, the 'Serb Renaissance Front' he led was just a small force. It was impossible for it to have legendary existences, let alone so many powerful natural disasters.
Therefore, almost everyone believes that there must be some powerful empire supporting this "Serb Renaissance Front".
For example, the Bonaparte Empire, or the Slavic Empire!
Update, update!
