Earl Ferreira supported the body of the nobleman in front of him, knelt down slowly, and made a dull sound, a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth, his throat moved, and more blood flowed out, called Rexi Ding's nobleman pulled out the dagger from his body, then pushed Ferreira away, flicked the sword flower to dry the blood on it, looked at King Croft with a sneer, and said, "Croft , you despicable usurper, you brought the kingdom back into the vortex of war, and you are no longer worthy to be the king of the Ramirez people!"

"You are a despicable rebellion!" Croft roared, and he pointed at himself, saying: "I have the blood of the Ramirez royal family in my body. I am the only legal ruler of the kingdom. What do you have?" Qualified to object!"

Just as Rexiding was about to answer the conversation, the noble who rushed over from behind him interrupted him, saying: "Rexiding, don't talk nonsense with this damned usurper, go ahead, kill him!"

"Yes, kill him! We want to avenge Prince Gaia!"

"Avenge for Gaia?" Croft sneered and said disdainfully, "Gaia died in my dungeon four years ago, why didn't you jump out to avenge him at that time?"

"Stop talking, go."

Rexiding did not answer, he rushed to Croft first, and stabbed the usurper with a poisonous snake-like sword, but the latter was already prepared, and was about to dodge, but the pampering for many years slowed him down. , still failed to dodge, and took Rexiding's sword abruptly. Then, Rexiding pushed him away violently, and the attacks of the two nobles who followed followed closely. Croft slashed across his waist heavily, and a sword directly opened a hole in his throat, and blood gushed out instantly. Croft clutched the wound on his throat in pain, stumbled back a few steps, and then Staggering and falling down the steps of his throne, Croft struggled to climb up to his throne, barely climbed two steps, and closed his eyes forever.

"Croft is dead! The usurper is dead!"

One minute later, cheers came from the main hall and echoed over the inner palace of Mesot. As the news of the king's death came out, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who heard the news stopped slowly and stood at the original place. overwhelmed.

And Rexiding and his accomplices strode out of the main hall with Croft's severed head in their hands. They stood outside the gate of the main hall, looking at the soldiers of the Imperial Army under the stairs, Rexiding He raised the usurper's head high and shouted loudly: "The usurper Croft is dead, there is no need to continue this war. Starting tomorrow, we will send troops to the Winsters outside the city. Messengers of peace, we must not pay our lives for the wrong war provoked by usurpers!"

After he finished speaking, the scene was silent for a long time, and when Rexiding began to beat drums in his heart, the imperial guards cheered loudly. They didn't have much loyalty to Croft, and they didn't want to be trapped to death in this city.

……

The next day, the news of the king's assassination swept across the city like a whirlwind. Residents were talking about the palace coup last night. Their eyes were full of uneasiness. Even a noble king would be assassinated and die. So what is the future of this country?
The haze of the king's assassination also covered up the contradiction between the native faction and the outsiders. No one paid attention to this ridiculous contradiction anymore. Both the native faction and the outsiders all flocked to the inner palace of Mesot and blocked outside the palace wall. , asking for a guarantee from the ruler, but the Rexiding party that launched the coup is arguing endlessly over who will be the ruler of the new kingdom, and has no time to take care of the lowly status of the civilians outside.

In the main hall of the Misotner Palace, the blood of yesterday's assassination had long been cleaned up. The nobles in the palace were summoned, and Residin personally presided over the discussion whether to choose a capable noble to inherit the throne or a surviving member of the royal family. , because it was Residing who stepped forward to assassinate the usurper Croft, most of the nobles chose to push him to the throne of king, but many people remained opposed.

While arguing endlessly in the venue, a nobleman suddenly rushed out of the crowd, rushed to Rexiding's body through the confusion, and before he could react, he stabbed Rexiding's heart with a sword, and pulled out forcefully. , blood spurted out from the wound, and quickly stained Rexiding's white robe red, the venue fell into panic instantly, and the soldiers who stayed inside immediately caught the murderer who had no intention of escaping.

The news of Rexiding's assassination came out again, which made the civilians gathered outside the inner palace of Misot even more panic. At this time, the bombardment of Winster's army outside the city began, and 28 fireballs with black tail flames fell on the ground. Flying at high speed in the air, tumbling and flying towards the city, like the end of the world, the moment the fireball appeared, a piercing warning bell rang over the entire city, and the civilians gathered outside the palace wall heard it, and they all did it in unison. They had the same reaction - turned around and ran away, screaming.

When the enemies outside the city are replaced with fireballs, the damage to the city will be even more serious. After the tumbling fireballs falling from the sky hit the buildings, they can not only penetrate the walls of the buildings like stone bullets, but also ignite the surrounding area. All combustibles, start a terrible fire.

Amid the whistling sound of piercing the air, a fireball with a black tail flame hit the high tower of a building head-on. In the next second, the tower collapsed, burying the fleeing civilians in the street below, and the terrified screams came suddenly It stopped and returned to calm, but the screams from other places soon came again, and the hustle and bustle resumed.

"Run! Run!"

On the chaotic streets, a large number of civilians were scrambling to run, with fireballs roaring down above their heads. These people were regretting why they could not stay at home and wanted to go to the inner palace of Mesot to join in the fun, but then, the fireballs fell and smashed Entering the crowd, smashing the civilians where it landed into a pulp, the fireball did not stop, but was bounced away by force, rolling out a bloody path in the crowd, and everyone who touched it along the way let out screams, The flames quickly spread throughout their bodies within just a few seconds of touching them, devouring human lives wantonly.

On the city wall, the soldiers have long been numb to this. They watched the firearms fly over their heads and flew into the city without any expression on their faces. Well, there are no mood swings.

Until the news of the assassination of the king and the assassination of Rexiding reached their ears successively.
