Raise the sword sky

Chapter 649 Tortola Contract ([-])

The imperial palace, the residence of the king of a country, is resplendent and majestic. It is the center of politics and power in a country, but in the Huiyao Empire, only the first few items are in line, and the last item is empty talk, because in this country, the real power is only controlled by The Sanguang Council is in charge. The emperor is just a vacant position and changes every ten years. Naturally, he will not have any real power. However, the grandeur of the palace is real. After all, it is the theoretical residence of the head of the most powerful human country in the Tanris Continent. You still need to save face.

But at the moment the defense of the imperial palace is quite empty. It was originally the Emperor Xu, and now the new emperor has not yet been elected, and there is not even a master. The devil wants to attack the Sanguang Palace where the Sanguang Council is located instead of here, so naturally there is no need to be strict. More guards were added, so even the royal guards who were originally responsible for guarding here were transferred to participate in the battle. There is only a small team of dozens of people left here.

However, although the name of the Royal Guards sounds good, just like the emperor is a vain job, the Imperial Guards of the Glorious Empire are not composed of the most elite fighters like other countries, but a place where noble children earn their seniority. Any aristocratic children with a bit of pursuit would not want to waste their time here, so the quality of the royal guards is quite bad, of course the equipment is still top-notch, after all, they have money and status.

With the outbreak of the war, the city defense system was activated. Divine magic is not as good as arcane magic in attack, but it is extremely tough in defense. Layers of divine magic barriers immediately protected various important areas, including In the imperial palace, several large barriers covered the entire imperial palace like a glass cover, although there were no demons near the imperial palace or even in the entire inner city.

A group of Janissary soldiers boarded the highest platform in the palace to look at the distant battlefield. Although it was not clear before dawn, the fire that seemed to be able to burn everything already showed the intensity of the battle.

"It's such a pity that everyone is out there doing great work, but we can only stay in this damn place."

A soldier said angrily: "If I can participate in the war, I will definitely make military achievements, and then I won't have to be trapped here forever."

"Come on, Lal, it doesn't matter if you make military achievements. Don't forget that you are only the second son. Your old man's title will only be passed on to your brother, and your brother also joined the war. His strength is above yours. Sometimes the meritorious service will only be greater than yours."

Another person next to him smiled and said: "So just save yourself, isn't it better for us to watch the battle here safely? What's more, there may be some accidents for your elder brother. In a war of this scale, it is very difficult for a few dukes to die. It's normal, but when the time comes, there will be pie in the sky, and the right to inherit the title will fall on your head, wouldn't it be nice?"

"Tch, I'm not as unpursuing as you..."

These young noble children were chatting and laughing when they suddenly noticed that the enchantment light curtain outside the palace fluctuated, just like ripples suddenly appeared on the calm lake, and layers of energy eddies surged on the light curtain , as if something was pushing it.

"Not good! Friends want to force their way into the palace!"

Among this group of depraved nobles, there are also some who are not so bad, or there are always some relatively taller ones among the dwarfs, so they are still a little vigilant, so they immediately yelled loudly, but it's okay if he doesn't yell, After the call, the young nobles around were stunned for a moment, and then exploded.

"Are you kidding me? This is not a military important place. You can do whatever you want. Even the value of the treasures can't compare to the mansions of those nobles. Which guy has no brains to dare to come here?"

"Demons! The demons must be coming, everyone run for their lives—"

"The devil is not a fool, what are you doing here? I think it is very likely that someone wants to fish in troubled waters—"

"Why are you guys still in a daze? Go ahead and do it. Isn't this a feat brought to your doorstep!"

"Come on—come on—send the council a distress signal—"

All kinds of shouts rang out in an instant, some were heroic, some were cowardly, and some were crazy. Most of this group of noble children experienced this kind of thing for the first time.

There were not many people in the entire huge palace at this time. With the abdication of the previous emperor, even the servants in the palace were greatly reduced, leaving only the staff to maintain the minimum operation, which seemed empty. The guards soldiers were all kinds of things. Such shouts echoed in the palace, and there were even echoes.

This group of noble children and soldiers ran around like headless chickens in the empty palace. Some were ready to fight, while others were scared and hid or tried to escape. They calmed down and tried to ask for help. Surprised to find that all communication spells have been interfered.

"Damn it, which blind guy would be interested in this place."

They cursed and yelled, and from the beginning to the end, no one stood up to organize them to fight against the enemy. They may be well equipped and capable, but their organizational discipline is far worse.

The water-like fluctuations on the defensive barrier are still continuing. The barrier has not been destroyed, but people have passed through directly, and judging from the scale and duration of the fluctuations, there may be a lot of people coming.

A few of the more courageous Guards soldiers, spurred by a moment of intense passion, rushed forward with weapons in hand. However, when they ran to the large square in front of the palace and saw clearly who the visitor was, All that courage vanished in an instant.

"Evil... devil!"

Those who passed through the barrier and entered the palace area were all demons. Even if they hadn't seen them with their own eyes, they would immediately recognize their species when they saw these red-skinned and scaled creatures.

The hot-blooded imperial guards immediately faltered, dropped their weapons and fled in all directions with a shout. Unfortunately, they were one step too late, and a few extremely fast demons caught up with them in the next moment, and they were instantly doomed.

"We have finally come here, the palace of the Huiyao Empire."

A secret demon stood in front of the gate of the palace surrounded by them, and said in the devil's language: "Let's act quickly, the great blood master is still waiting for our good news."

Two more secret demons came up from both sides and said: "The entrance to the Land of Origin is inside the palace, so we still need a certain amount of time. The key is to block the news and prevent humans from being aware of our actions."

"With me here, even the legends won't know what's going on here, and there won't be any news leaking out."

An unusually hoarse voice sounded, speaking from a demon who looked very special. His withered body was very conspicuous among a crowd of muscular demons. This demon had a human-like body structure, but had no eyes. Instead, there were two groups of green flames, which were extremely strange.
