Chapter 520 Assassination

The smell of blood filled the room.

"Go easy, father!"

Garrett pulled out his sword, squatted down and raised his hand to touch Bruno's face, closing his open eyes.

When he stood up again, the expressions of sadness and anxiety on his face were gone, leaving only madness and determination.

Now, he is no longer His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Alduin VI, the king of the kingdom, and the lord to whom all nobles follow and are loyal.

"No one will ever control my will again, no one!"

He clenched his fist and glanced at the corpse at his feet, "Now, let me give the Wushan family the first big gift!"

Garrett chuckled twice, then opened the door, and the smell of blood from the corridor hit his nostrils.

But he didn't stop for a step and left the scene in a hurry.

Although he was the first heir to the kingdom, the throne became his after Bruno's death.

But this does not mean that Garrett dares to let the outside world know that he is the murderer of Bruno.

If news of killing the king or his own father spreads out, almost most nobles will not recognize his identity. At this time, as long as someone takes the lead, the kingdom will immediately be shaken.

But he was the last person to come to see the king, and the suspicion could not be removed.

Therefore, Bruno's death needs to be covered up.

"Your Highness!"

Outside the palace, the guards who saw Garrett coming out all saluted him.

"Um."

Garrett responded calmly and said as he walked: "The recent movements of the enemy country are ordinary. Stay on guard. If you find any trouble, notify them in time!"

The guards' expressions were solemn, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Garrett nodded and quickly left the scene.

I don't know how long it had passed, but a strange cold wind swept through the palace, forcing the guards on guard to use their fighting energy to relieve fatigue and cold.

"What the hell is the weather? In the past, the winter snow has long passed in January of the new year. This year is really abnormal!"

"Yeah, it's so cold, even colder than when it snows!"

"I wonder if it will be a sunny day tomorrow?"

The guards talked in low voices, and some raised their heads to look at the night sky, trying to judge tomorrow's weather based on the stars.

"What's that?"

Someone shouted in alarm.

Everyone looked over and saw a huge black shadow appearing in the sky above everyone. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was a dark cloud.

It's just that this black shadow seems to have a beginning and an end, and you can tell at a glance that it's not a dark cloud.

"Warcraft?"

"How can there be such a big monster?"

"No, Duke Ronin's dragon is that big!"

As long as it's a Warcraft, there are risks.

The captain of the guard team immediately shouted: "Go, inform Lord Broll and put the Griffin Knights on alert. I'll tell the leader!"

Just when they were about to take action, a black figure fell from the sky and landed directly in the courtyard.

"assassin!"

The guards in the yard reacted very quickly. They exclaimed and drew their swords one after another.

It's just that they were no match for the newcomer. Before they could make a move, their throats were cut open by a cold sharp blade and they fell into a pool of blood.

After dealing with the guards blocking the way, the assassin entered the palace in a flash.

"Quick, blow the horn!"

"There's an assassin!"

The captain of the guard shouted wildly, and the piercing sound of the horn broke the tranquility of the winter night.

Broll's residence was not far away, and he rushed over immediately after hearing the sound.

But when he just arrived outside the door, there was a roaring explosion, and the fierce fighting skills directly punched a huge hole in the wall on one side of the palace.

"not good!"

Brower's expression changed drastically, and he climbed up to the second floor through the hole.

But what he saw was Philemon who had lost half of his body, and the body lying on the ground.

"His Majesty!"

Brower rushed into Bruno's bedroom in panic, only to see a masked man in black coming out of it.

The sword in the assassin's hand was dripping with blood, but there was no movement in the room behind him.

"Damn it!"

Broll held a long sword and killed like crazy.

The assassin raised his sword to block, and blocked Broll's attack easily. Then he raised his leg and kicked the latter away, smashing several walls before barely stopping.

"Too strong!"

Broll was shocked in his heart. He had the strength of the late Meteor. Even if the Silver Moon Knight came, he could still fight, but the man in front of him was too powerful.

He is no match at all!

"Knight of the Sun?"

The assassin seemed to have no interest in Brower. He jumped out of the hole and saw a large number of knights gathered outside.

When the knights saw the assassin coming out, they immediately launched fighting skills to attack.

More than a dozen rays of fighting skill light illuminated the night sky with great momentum.

But the assassin only used one sword, and the red flames not only suppressed these fighting skills, but also severely damaged the knight on the ground with its remaining power.

"Stay!"

A loud shout came from a distance, and purple thunder was seen rushing towards the assassin.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness is here!"

All the guards were thankful that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was said to be the Knight of the Sun and would definitely be able to take down the assassin.

Unfortunately, the attack from a distance was easily received by the assassin, and then he stepped up into the air and disappeared into the high-altitude black clouds.

Immediately afterwards, the black cloud flew toward the sky at an extremely fast speed. By the time Garrett arrived at the palace, the man had already escaped.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

Garrett roared angrily, questioning.

No one dared to answer.

"Your Highness, come in!"

Broll's heavy voice came, and everyone was terrified.

Garrett reacted and flew over quickly, "How is my father?"

Broll was in a mess, with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

But the fear brought by reality has made him forget the pain.

"Your Majesty... is not well!"

"Damn it, how did you protect him!"

Garrett pushed angrily, and then walked inside, looking so panicked that people could not see any clues.

In fact, Broll did not dare to look at the other's expression, because he had fallen into endless self-blame.

Over the years, Philemon has been protecting Bruno closely, and he is another guarantee.

In the past, Silver Moon Knights were rare, and Sun Knights were even rarer, so Bruno's safety had never been a problem.

But now the situation outside has changed too much, and their security has not been upgraded, so His Majesty the King died in an assassination.

"No!"

Garrett's shrill voice rang out, making everyone's heart sink to the bottom, and they were all at a loss.

A seemingly absurd idea emerged in the minds of the knights outside-

The king... is dead?

Broll raised his legs that seemed to be filled with lead and walked into the familiar bedroom, just to see Garrett kneeling on the ground.

Bruno's cold body was lying in front of the crown prince.

The atmosphere was so solemn that it was difficult to breathe.

For a long time.

"Who is the assassin?"

Garrett slowly raised his head, his eyes were red, and his aura of the sun level was released without any scruples, which frightened Broll.

"He was masked, I didn't see his face."

Broll said in a deep voice: "But he is very strong. Not only was my full-strength sword easily blocked by him, but the huge force that burst out instantly smashed through several walls!"

He paused and said his guess: "I suspect that the opponent should be a Sun Knight!"

"Sun Knight?"

Garrett stood up, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth and said a name: "Rhonin!"

Ronin?

Broll's pupils shrank suddenly: "Impossible, Your Highness, this person is definitely not Ronin!"

"That's his subordinate Rydar!"

Garrett's voice was unquestionable, "Looking at the Kingdom of Oduin and the Kingdom of Tricia, how many Sun Knights are there? And the huge black shadow in the sky just now, if it's not his dragon, what is it?"

"This..."

Broll didn't know how to defend himself for a while, but his intuition told him that the assassin was neither Ronin nor Rydar.

"Go, go and invite my mother over!"

Garrett said in a deep voice: "Also, block the news, no one is allowed to leak this matter!"

Broll always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He could only carry out Garrett's orders with guilt towards His Majesty Bruno and self-blame for his own failure to fulfill his duty.

"The kingdom...is going to change!" he thought. (End of this chapter)
