Time travel starts from Doupa

Chapter 1267 Assassination by the imperial court, what are the common people?
"Commander Leonard, your decision is very wise. Wait for another day... I won't treat you badly."

After glancing at Leonard appreciatively, Helen nodded slightly and said with a faint smile.

She knew that with Leonard, a smart man, she could control the main gate of the imperial city and the 500-strong palace warrior team stationed here.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is serious. Serving His Majesty is the mission of a court warrior." Leonard once again knelt down in front of Helen, and this time it was his direct allegiance.

Hearing that Leonard actually called himself "Your Majesty" instead of "His Royal Highness", Helen instantly understood that her father's time was really numbered.Otherwise, even if Leonard wanted to be loyal to him, he wouldn't dare to risk the displeasure of the world.

Thinking of this, Helen's originally slightly relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.

"Leave 500 people to assist the court warriors to guard the city gate, and the rest will follow me into the palace and occupy the city gate in all directions. No noise will be made along the way, and no swords will be drawn without an edict!"

Helen snorted coldly and ordered.Immediately, surrounded by a group of court magicians and senior knights, she took the lead and entered the imperial city first.And behind her, the billowing iron flow also entered the city, chilling and dull.

As soon as she entered the imperial city, Helen immediately ordered the Star Knights who followed her to form a team of 4000 people and 500 people to form eight teams to occupy the remaining eight gates in the imperial city, while only 500 people followed behind her. Plus a group of guard masters.

Immediately afterwards, Helen ordered all the palace guards and ceremony officials who were about to lead the way to get out of the way, and pulled out their horses and walked towards the place where her father was staying.At this moment, she no longer cared about the rule that members of the royal family must take a bath and change clothes when returning to the palace, so she just dressed in a military uniform and ran away with people all the way!

Passing through the main hall and corridors in front of the palace, and entering the interior of the palace, along the way, Helen only saw guards armed one by one, guarding the main gates of the palace extremely tightly. Compared with when Helen left, the number of guards increased. More than five times.

Moreover, these guards all looked dignified, with their hands on their weapons, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

This scene made Helen's heart tremble.

When did there have been so many palace guards?

You must know that the palace warrior group originally had only 3000 people, and nearly half of the casualties in the imperial capital rebellion, and no more than 2000 people could still perform their duties in the palace.

But now, Helen saw at least [-] palace guards just by looking at them!And she has only passed through five palace gates, and there are still seven palace gates to pass!
Even if she was not in the imperial capital, the court warriors recruited some new recruits, but there shouldn't be so many!

No, it's too wrong!
These guards are probably not a court warrior group at all!

Staring at these court warriors secretly and vigilantly, Helen suddenly discovered that behind a row of court warriors were actually carrying enchanted crossbows!

This is a big killer that can only be equipped by the field army, and it can pose a serious threat to the fourth-level high-level magician and the third-level intermediate knight.It is strictly forbidden for court warriors to equip these military enchanted weapons!

Around the entire imperial capital, the only regular army equipped with such weapons was the Royal Guards that were supposed to be stationed on the acropolis and city walls outside the imperial capital! !
ambush!It was definitely an ambush against her! !
Helen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but there was no expression on her pretty face.The more this time, the less she can panic.

Now that she has passed through the five palace gates, she must not turn back immediately, otherwise she will be besieged on a large scale.

But it's not right to continue going forward. If she goes any further, she will be completely surrounded by the Royal Guards.

"Who planned it..."

Somewhat in a dilemma, Helen bit her rosy lips, her mind was spinning, guessing the mastermind of this coup d'état.

First of all, the emperor Odysseus was ruled out. Based on her understanding of her father, her father might not be a wise emperor, but he was definitely a loving person.It is absolutely impossible for him to send heavy troops to assassinate his daughter.

Moreover, without her, the empire will collapse in an instant, and the emperor, who always puts the overall situation first, cannot fail to take this into consideration.

But besides the emperor, who else has the ability to manipulate all this?

Helen couldn't figure it out, her slender hands reached into her sleeves, holding a small blue magic scroll.

It was the teleportation scroll presented to her by the astral traveler Karazhan, which could instantly teleport her to any place she had been to.

In other words, even if Helen is trapped in a tight siege and desperate situation, she can rely on this teleportation scroll at any time to teleport back to the military camp in the Warren Province, which she has absolute control over.

In the province of Warren, there is her newly formed army of 50 troops. The Duke of John and the Sword Master of the Starry Sky, who have been instructed by Zhou Chen and have broken through the holy ranks, are also there. If there is any disagreement, she will immediately Can get away.

Moreover, in the palace, there are two masters above the holy rank, Mrs. Alice and Chief Lawrence.

Among the two, Mrs. Alice is definitely inclined to her, while Chief Lawrence has served three generations of emperors for nearly a hundred years, and his loyalty to the royal family is beyond doubt.With these two people present, it is impossible for too much chaos to occur in the palace.

Now that her life was guaranteed, Helen decided to move on. As a woman, she was very sentimental and worried that her father would be murdered by these thieves who participated in the coup d'état, so she had to see it with her own eyes!
So, after Helen hinted to the knights and mages around her to be vigilant, she led them all the way forward, passed through seven palace gates, and finally arrived at the palace where the emperor stayed.

Helen, who couldn't restrain her worry in her heart, immediately led people into the hall she was familiar with, and even the waiters outside wanted to report, but were stopped by her knights.

Although the court warriors and attendants around this hall were not Helen's people, even they vaguely knew that today they would attack this eldest princess who was known as the Pearl of the Empire.

However, without specific orders, none of them wanted to be the first bird, so Helen could only let Helen break into the hall.

As soon as she entered the hall, Helen immediately felt a strong smell of medicine filling the air.

The smell is very complex, with an unknown number of herbs used to reduce inflammation and death mixed in, as well as many alchemical magic potions with serious side effects. It makes people feel stuffy and even drowsy after smelling it.

The hall was silent and solemn, and in the distance, on the big bed surrounded by curtains in the middle, there seemed to be a figure lying there powerlessly.

Around the big bed, more than a dozen old scholars from the medical school and several court mages in red robes were standing silently on both sides, watching quietly.

Inside the curtain, besides the seriously ill emperor lying in bed, there was also a slender figure sitting on the head of the bed.She is the emperor's second wife, Helen's stepmother, the mother of little prince Charlie, Queen Mary.

At this moment, Queen Mary was holding a bowl of colorful magic soup and feeding it to the emperor lying on the bed.

And Helen couldn't care about the danger she had just felt at this moment. She was flustered and worried, and rushed to the side of the big bed, raised the curtain, and her eyes fell on the person on the bed.

Then, Helen's eyes became moist immediately...

The emperor of the empire, Odysseus VII, was lying quietly on the bed at this moment. His handsome face, which was very similar to Helen, was pale at the moment, only the brows were marked and his lips were black. Such an appearance was clearly a serious injury. In the body, life is not long.

"Father...I'm back..."

Helen couldn't hold back her tears, and said with a sob.

In any case, she never imagined that after only two months of separation, her handsome and strong father, who was infinitely awe-inspiring, was lying there almost unconsciously like a dying vegetable.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes were half-closed, his breath was slight, and a pair of slender and powerful hands were resting weakly on the side of the bed, obviously in a semi-comatose state.

"How long has father been like this...? Has the assassin been caught?"

Helen turned her head with tears in her eyes, and asked her stepmother seemingly unsuspecting.

However, before Queen Mary could speak at this moment, she cried out first, stretched out her arms, and embraced Helen, as if she wanted to hug Helen and cry for a while.

However, one of her hands was held by a knight beside Helen before she reached out, and twisted it!
"Clang!"

There was a crisp sound of metal touching the ground, and immediately, everyone turned their attention, and a strange atmosphere suddenly rose.

Because, what fell on the ground was a magic dagger emitting a faint blue light. Judging from the corrosive reaction between it and the ground, it was obviously very toxic.

"It really is you, Your Majesty the Queen."

Helen gently wiped away the tears from her face, and when she looked up again, her eyes were extremely determined! !

She talked about who was able to mobilize the Royal Guards, and she was able to keep a little secret. It turned out to be the emperor's closest wife and the owner of the palace other than the emperor-Queen Mary.

It all makes sense.

The morning before yesterday, Helen, who was rewarding the army in Valen province, suddenly received a secret letter from the imperial capital!

This letter was sent by a court magician himself, and the person who signed the letter was Lawrence, the court steward. There was also Lawrence's personal magic seal on the letter, which could not be faked.

And the content of the letter was frankly saying that the emperor had been assassinated and his life was not long, and asked her to go back quickly to take charge of the overall situation.

Helen, who saw the secret letter at the time, had no doubts other than worry and panic in her heart.She immediately left everything behind and hurried back to the imperial capital without hesitation.

She not only wanted to see her father for the last time, but also wanted to fight for the throne, and she was even more afraid that something would happen if she was not in the imperial capital... So she traveled day and night, marching three thousand miles in less than two days, and rushed back to the imperial capital.

But it now appears that she was deceived.

Queen Mary, who planned a coup, wanted to deceive her from the 50-strong army and murder her so that they could control the overall situation.

"Grandpa Lawrence, is he dead now, or has he always been with you?"

Helen looked at Queen Mary in front of her coldly, but she had a plan in her heart.Without Lawrence, it would have been impossible for Queen Mary to mobilize the army, let alone trick her back so easily.

Moreover, if she was not mistaken, Lawrence must have betrayed her and her father.

Because Lawrence is so strong that even the Sword Master of the Starry Sky admits that he can't see through it. Such a character cannot be killed, nor can he be coerced by Queen Mary.

Since Lawrence won't be coerced, they must be together!

"Hehe, as expected of Princess Helen, not only is she more beautiful than the goddess of beauty Venus, her wisdom is also not inferior to the legendary goddess of wisdom Athena. Hee hee, you are really the envy of us women..."

"Queen Mary", who had just failed in the assassination and was grabbed by the wrist by the guard knight beside Helen, smiled. The next moment, her whole body suddenly twisted, and her wrist became like a slippery sea snake, and she broke free in an instant. The powerful hands of the guarding knight are like iron tongs.

This moment made the knights and magicians around Princess Helen nervous.

You know, the knight who has just subdued the "Queen Mary" is called Kao Douglas. He is a senior knight with a strength of up to the fifth rank. He is a famous master in the Northern Army of the Empire. Although the trusted retainers are far away from the holy steps, they are enough to be called invincible among mortals.

However, even such a master can't control "Queen Mary"?What the hell did this queen do before?

Breaking free from the knight's big hand, the "Queen Mary" stepped back a few steps in a row, to a distance she thought was safe, and then pinched a few magic seals with her hands. Suddenly, billowing black mist enveloped her whole body .

After a few breaths, the black mist dissipated, and what appeared on the spot was a woman with dark blue skin, slender ears, and scantily clad clothes. How could she look like Queen Mary at all?
"Dark Elf?!"

Beside Helen, an old magician with white beard and hair said in shock.Wasn't the species of dark elves wiped out by the empire and the priests of the Olympus pantheon at the time during the "Seven Kings Rebellion" thousands of years ago?
The biggest reason for annihilating the dark elves at that time was because of the innate magic skill of every dark elf - dark transformation!

This is a spell that can turn a dark elf into any species, and this change is so subtle that even holy-level powerhouses cannot detect it.

The leader of the dark elves at that time intended to use this transformation technique to gradually replace the high-ranking officers and generals of the Dawn Empire with the Dark Elves, and finally even replaced several members of the royal family. Imperial power, to achieve the rise of the dark elves.

However, the dark elves took too big a step, and they were finally discovered by the gods and a domain-level magister in the imperial royal family, and then triggered a "death" that lasted for decades, and the goal was to exterminate the dark elves. Battle of Darkness!"
Unexpectedly, after thousands of years, the dark elves appeared again!
Hearing someone revealing his identity, the dark elf pretending to be Queen Mary sneered, and said, "Princess Helen, I am a dark elf, and today I will seek justice from the royal family of Chenxi on behalf of all the people on the mainland!!"

As soon as this remark came out, Helen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, looked at the dark blue dark elf in front of her, and said mockingly: "How innocent are the common people? They are being used as a fig leaf for rebellion all day long!" ?”
