Absolute silence envelops Gransell, the capital city, under the glow of the sun gradually rising, but there is no peace that is unique to the early morning.
The martial arts convention that just ended a few days ago led to the spectator and tourist frenzy that made this metropolis with a population of 300,000 even more boiling and lively. However, what was supposed to be a continuous noisy scene was replaced by a void and quietness.
Except in the street, the occasional sound of footsteps of the secret agents almost as light as the falling of a silver needle.
Although the face is blocked by the mask, as long as it is an individual, they can easily see their fatigue. And in fact, after the fiasco of the Li Palace, there are not many people who can continue to participate in the battle-not to mention, most of the elite of the elite were brought to the ground by Colonel Richard.
"It seems that this is their last fight... After failing to hunt down the Guards and being tragically killed, all these mourning soldiers returned to the capital under the unified command of someone to give Colonel Richard's shameless plan. Be the last to buy time..." Hidden cleverly in the alley on the corner of the street, Heliga chose a new location while observing. He hadn't heard the news of the fall of Abel's palace, but at some point yesterday afternoon, when the king suddenly fell into martial law, Heliga understood what was going on.
"Nice work, Esther and the others..." Heliga couldn't help exclaiming in her heart. It is impossible to defeat the heavy guard of the Intelligence Ministry with that little force. The reason for the success of the action must be Yuli. Captain Ya and other members of the Guards can only create miracles with obsessions such as "saving the princess at all costs". After the palace is lost, the royal capital and the queen in the palace will inevitably become the next targets.
"I don't know what happened to Fei... If Estelle and the others successfully rescued the princess, Fei should also play with them. If you are lucky, maybe you can get a similar to me from the princess. It’s the same thing as the written proof... then there will be no scruples... Huh?"
Although there is no astonishing dynamic sensory ability like Fei, in such extremely quiet conditions, some voices full of disharmony can not escape Heliga's ears, "Did I misheard the sound of the force engine? "
"Crunch!" Just when Heliga was about to check again, she found that the city gate had been closed all night, but under the control of machinery and metal slings, she slowly lowered it
"How is this... Ah, no way..."
Heliga muttered to herself, listening to the gradual shouts and fragmentary gunfire, "They... are they coming here?"
-
"Has it started?" Standing on the highest point of the city, the queen facing Valyria Lake naturally couldn't see what was happening in the front of the city, but that didn't mean she couldn't hear the noise that had gradually become noisy. .
"Yeah... it's a farce." A male voice suddenly sounded in the space where the noble queen was alone. However, the queen herself did not show any strange expressions, just turned around and smiled: "Why do you see it, Mr. Lawrence?"
"Col. Richard's hard work over the past year has been crushed by your granddaughter and a few stinky hairy boys. Now he has come to the King City to rescue you with all the fighting power he can raise. You should be very happy, right?" I don't know whether it is ironic or admiration in his tone.
"Haha... you forgot that there are children of Mr. Cassius." Not only did the queen not interrupt her anger abruptly because of Lorence's rudeness, she added a cheerful sentence.
"Don't even deny it?" Lieutenant Lawrence raised his eyebrows, looking surprised at the Queen's reaction, "Although they made a lot of movement, it looks very lively, in fact, the plan is also very good... However, the ruler of a country was turned upside down by his own officers, and was even completely restrained for a time. In the end, it was even necessary for an immature little girl to bring a civil organization guerrilla to the rescue..." Lorenz did not continue. But the meaning is very clear. He is implying the queen-in this case, are you sitting on the throne? Don’t the neighboring countries have some ideas? Especially Ereponia, who has been staring at Liber all the time.
"Haha... I understand what you mean." The queen took a sip of black tea leisurely, "It's just that, to those children, I'm just a grandmother, or even a kind old woman. As such a Ordinary old women, why can't I express my joy normally about the fact that they are coming to rescue me soon?"
"Heh." Lorenz let out a sharp sneer. He hadn't expressed his emotions so strongly before anyway, "Wang-really interesting things. Things that are good for you and make you feel happy. You can be upright and frankly happy and happy; and in the face of some dirty tricks, you can use the excuse of'being a king and having to take care of the overall situation'..."
"..." The smile on the queen's face had a solidified meaning, and her tone of voice was no longer as kind and gentle as before, but it was a bit fierce. In Lorenz's mind, she was a bit "king" in this way.
"Mr. Lawrence, I don’t know what you’ve gone through, or what you’re referring to me, or what’s in this country... If so... I’m not qualified to ask for your forgiveness, just one thing, I think As a king, tell you."
"..." Lorenz dropped his face and was silent.
"The king...inhuman."
"...Hehe..." For some reason, Lorenz smiled this time, smiling very calmly, "That's right... Even if I have any hatred, it shouldn't be you or this country... But..." Lieutenant Lawrence stood up from the seat in the room, and slowly paced to the viewing platform where the queen was standing, looking at the sea of clouds and the newborn sun.
""Sura"...nor is it human. "

"Pound!" The wooden door of a family was violently knocked open in the Wangdu West Street area. Since hearing the sporadic gunshots that started early in the morning, the family that had been hiding in the house shiveringly, looked at it courageously, only to find that it was a spy who was wounded and embarrassed. Seeing that it was them, the family quickly settled down at that moment-of course, only that moment.
"Huh? Huh?" The timid child still didn't understand why the blood and minced but still sharp steel claws on the hands of the secret agents who had been protecting them were resting on their necks.
"How about! Shoot me if you have the ability! Otherwise, get out!" The secret agent grinned and looked at the three Kingdom Army soldiers who seemed at a loss.
The royal capital has become a battlefield.
