Mage? Spell Engineer!

Hinch's adjutant sent a signal to Richard, asking him to rush to the Veterans Club as soon as possible. But at first, Reuben did not tear his face off. The adjutant just said that the two sides had a conflict after drinking.

Not only Richard, but also other officers who were on good terms with Hench also came, thinking that they were just here to "support" Colonel Turtle. Then they broke in all the way until they saw an astonishing scene - Reuben put a gun to Hench's head.

The gun went off, but Reuben was the most seriously injured.

Under the horror of the gunshot, the others who held Colonel Turtle subconsciously withdrew their strength. They did not expect that the gun that was originally just a threat would explode, and Hench himself realized that he was not dead at the first time. He roared and broke free from his restraints and rushed towards Reuben.

The arm of the retired officer and instigator Reuben was bleeding like a column. He threw away the damn pistol. Its barrel was directly crushed by a supernatural force, causing the rapidly expanding gas and bullets to recoil into the filling pool and then hit the arm of the gunman.

Both sides wore almost the same clothes. In the midst of mutual astonishment, it was Hench who first screamed: "They want a coup!"

Swish, everyone drew their swords and sabers, and some even took out their guns to confront each other. At first, the officers were confused because they didn't necessarily know each other and wore similar clothes, but they soon distinguished the enemy from the enemy by whether they were drunk and had red faces.

In the stalemate, no one moved, only Richard was like walking into an empty space, holding up one hand to condense the magic light of deterrence, and walked straight to Hench: "Let's see who dares to move!"

He is a wizard! The people standing on Reuben's side were calmed down at the same time, seeing Richard pulling up his friend, holding his hand and surging healing magic.

"There are wizards among them, be careful!" The feeling of the accelerated healing of the ribs was not good, and Hench squeezed out these words from his teeth.

From the beginning, there were wizards who supported Reuben mixed in. Strictly speaking, he and Richard were once the same group close to the master of necromancy, and it can be foreseen that they will be promoted smoothly. However, there are always unexpected events, and necromancers are often unlucky. At this time, this military mage joined the "Veteran Officers Club" like many imperial spellcasters who could not make it.

They all came from the Royal School of Magic, and their characteristic was silent spellcasting. However, he could not do the state of raising his hand to prepare for the spell like Richard, at least that young man showed that, so he wisely mixed into the crowd and prepared silently and looked for opportunities.

Richard "carelessly treated Hench in public" was the best moment!

After making such a judgment, a ray of light immediately emerged from his hand, piercing through the left waist of the predecessor and rushing straight towards Richard. To everyone's surprise, the so-called brilliance of Richard's raised hand was not an offensive spell, but immediately spread into a blue barrier.

Richard himself did not bother to check what kind of attack the other party was, and he completely entrusted his and Hench's lives to Rorschach.

Yes, although Rorschach was not present, he was using the [Blue Light Barrier] from the spell cloud at this time.

The effect was really good! Richard was stunned and turned his hand to cancel the barrier. The mage's record was only to hurt one teammate. The innocent officer whose vital organs were severely hit wailed and rolled with Reuben, exposing the attacker to Richard.

What spells could this person use? The military mage guessed nervously, and at the same time wanted to dodge behind others again. Unfortunately, he was a little slow. The second gunshot in the room, Hinch's adjutant directly took the life of a spellcaster.

Taking this as a signal, the others wrestled together here. Richard originally wanted to continue casting spells, but he couldn't tell the enemy from the enemy. He saw that they were all almost unfamiliar officers, fighting with similar uniforms and the same fighting skills, and as long as someone pulled out a gun, he would immediately rush over to stop.

What was a bit weird and funny was that these people almost tacitly avoided Richard, and as a result, he and Hinch stood in the middle of the room, watching the others hugging each other in groups of three or two and rolling on the ground.

"How about you find a spell to stop them?" Hinch had already lit a candle for himself to suppress the pain and the impact of this strange picture.

Before they could make the next move, there was a large-scale noise on the street outside the window. At first, they could hear the scattered steps of many people, and then the sound of the footsteps on the ground began to be uniform. Everyone in the house could hear the pace of the army.

It seems that this place is just a stronghold. Reuben's mission is related to the big army flag - he has to force Hench to sign and stamp his handprint to pull him into the ranks. This is because Hench has been shaped into a human flag among young officers. He has been received and commended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Marshal in succession, and his popularity is extremely high under publicity.

At this time, in addition to the neat and terrifying footsteps in the dark, there is also a song that is almost roaring:

"Forward, the dragoons with unfailing flags!

"Forward, the imperial army with unfailing flags!

"Fasten your scabbards, arm yourself and prepare for battle!"

"No one blows the trumpet of danger, we must be men, stand up for justice for the country"

Reuben dragged his body, climbed to the window with his intact hands and feet, biting the blood-stained flag in his mouth, on which were the signatures of the "righteous men".

He arrived at his destination, lay on the window sill, waved the flag with his left hand and shouted: "Long live the empire!"

"Long--"

A riding boot kicked him hard in the face.

The girl Richard had known for one night appeared again, and she fell down from a higher floor. Libus also stepped on the window with her other foot, and then kicked again.

Poor Reuben was lying on his back with his head stepped on the floor, and Libus forced his way into the second floor of the club.

"He is your enemy, right?" Libus asked Richard.

". It doesn't matter. Why are you here? The imperial capital is in danger now, leave here with your mother."

"How to leave? The crisis cannot be resolved, there are dangers everywhere, and any action may kill me. But I still came." She patted Richard's broad chest muscles as if to ask for credit.

"Then I will escort you. As long as you return to the manor, the family's defense force will keep you safe."

Libus accepted the proposal, she looked out the window, her eyes flickered again, and then concluded: "This team is heading west of the city, we can avoid it."

However, Hench's face changed drastically, and he said an astonishing fact: "Tonight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return from the summer palace to govern the country and enter from the Saint Clare Arch in the west."

"Oh, so they obviously want to kidnap His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Libus nodded in understanding.

"Is this your prophecy?"

"Reasoning! Reasoning! Is it possible that your brain is useless?"

Hinch was too busy smoking: "From the information revealed by Reuben, this brave lady's reasoning is likely to be correct."

Richard was silent for a moment: "The family manor is in the suburbs, your mother is safe, so now the goal has changed."

He looked at Hench and Libus: "Out of military duty and loyalty to the empire, we must stop this disaster."

While Hench was still thinking, Libus blurted out: "We should find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."
