Chapter 1100: The heart of the upheaval
Latest URL: What?!
Hearing Orr's urgent voice, Ariel looked at the communication magic circle that was slowly being transmitted in front of her, and said with disbelief: "Both the royal capital and the palace are protected by the highest-level absolute defense wards. What is the opponent?" How did you get in?"
"Back to Her Majesty the Queen, I have just confirmed that the absolute defensive barriers of the palace and the royal capital are intact, and there are no signs of being attacked. I am also confused."
Orr's voice became more and more trembling as he continued: "I have sent all the generals from the Guards Corps and the Royal Guard to investigate the situation, but I haven't received any news yet!"
At this time, Ariel could clearly hear the faint cry of killing accompanying Orr's voice.
After being shocked, Ariel first thought of Lei Xiao who was fighting at sea.
However, when she used the skill of reciting words that were deeply engraved in her mind when signing the contract to contact the latter, there was a situation where she could not get through at all.
"Did something happen to the lord, too?"
Ariel's head buzzed, and her hands and feet suddenly felt cold, as if the sky had fallen.
This was her first reaction, and her mind went blank for a moment.
However, she soon realized that nothing could happen to the Lord, otherwise the contract would be automatically terminated.
"It seems that the other party has adopted some method to block the communication between me and the lord."
Thinking of this, Ariel felt relieved and forced herself to cheer up, trying to calm herself down again.
Since nothing happened to the lord, then during the lord's absence, I must go all out to help the lord reduce the pressure!
"Qing Orr, continue to investigate the news, I will be back soon."
Ariel's starry eyes flickered with determination, and she said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, things look very bad."
Seeing Ariel ordering the communication magician to close the magic circle, Wu immediately came over and said sternly: "Currently, the Kingdom of Grim has not started to attack. I will go back with your majesty."
"No, Uncle Wu, please continue to stay here. The Sunset Fortress cannot be without a powerful person at the national level. Maybe this is the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Ariel pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can just return to the capital alone."
"But Your Majesty, this is too dangerous."
Wu Canglao's voice was full of worry as he continued: "All this must be caused by the Black Abyss Brotherhood, but we are completely ignorant of the current situation."
"Don't worry, I still have two fifth-level alchemy puppets he left to protect me."
Ariel took out the teleportation scroll specially made by Jiang Lei, nodded to Wu Zhong and said, "If there is any news, be sure to inform me as soon as possible."
"Old minister, I understand."
Looking at Ariel's firm eyes, he saluted without supporting his chest and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will protect this sunset fortress to the death."
Hearing the sound, Ariel nodded slightly, and immediately activated Jiang Li's special teleportation scroll.
The lightness of weightlessness flashed by, and when Ariel's vision became clear again, she had already appeared in the King's Hall of the Lion Castle.
"Your Majesty, you are back. The lord can't be contacted!"
I saw the dusty Orr coming up to him, his resolute face full of urgency.
"I already know. Before the lord comes back, we must try to figure out the situation here."
Ariel looked at the empty King's Hall and immediately asked: "How is the current situation?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the old King has just received news, and it has been secretly protected by the members of the Shadow Squadron stationed in Wolong Fort."
Orr wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported succinctly: "All civil servants have also taken refuge in the underground chamber of the castle."
"That's great. My father and ministers are all fine."
Ariel let out a long breath, and immediately raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then what's going on with the shouts of death in the palace?"
"It's still unknown. None of the generals sent out to investigate the situation have returned..."
Before Al could finish his words, the door of the King's Hall was suddenly knocked open, and Qingshu, who had been promoted to the captain of the Lion Castle Guard, stumbled in.
Looking at Qingshu's extremely embarrassed appearance, Ariel and Al couldn't help but be stunned.
His face was covered in blood, his battle helmet was missing, and the dim plate armor was full of sword marks and dents. It was obvious that he had just experienced an extremely tragic battle.
As the door of the hall opened, the faint shouts of killing outside became clearer, making people feel uneasy.
"Captain Qingshu, what happened?"
Al immediately activated a healing scroll and began to heal Qingshu immediately.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Prime Minister, you will finally find out the true identity of the attacker in the palace."
Qingshu knelt down on the ground with his sword in his hand. While gasping for breath, he began to explain: "The one who launched the attack was one of our own!"
"What?!"
Ariel and Al looked at each other and didn't react for a moment.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Prime Minister, I can't tell you the specific situation. The enemy has already invaded the courtyard of the Lion Castle. Please take refuge immediately!"
Qingshu stood up forcefully and wanted to go out to fight again, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Ariel.
"Qing Aoer, please help Qingshu Qing to rest in the secret room first, and I'll go out and take a look."
Ariel waved her hand casually, and two fifth-level alchemy puppets that were completely black and exuded a vast aura appeared out of thin air, guarding Ariel on her left and right.
After Al respectfully accepted the order and left, Ariel flew out and soon arrived at the entrance of the castle.
Arriving outside through the secret passage of the castle, when Ariel was in the courtyard of the castle, she was immediately stunned by the sight in front of her.
Under the hazy moonlight, gunpowder smoke was everywhere in the courtyard, and the figures were looking longingly. The power of the spells and the cold light of the weapons complemented each other. It was obvious that a fierce battle was going on.
The rich smell of blood rushed towards him, and blood flowed along the gaps in the stone road, reflecting the corpses of the guards scattered in various directions.
Listening to the deafening shouts of killing, Ariel took further notice.
Just like what Aoki said, the enemy and we who are fighting to the death are indeed Guards Corps soldiers wearing the same silver armor.
It's just that the soldiers who were storming the courtyard all had strange golden eyes, and pairs of strange golden pupils flashed. Even if they were wrapped in fully enclosed battle helmets, they were extremely conspicuous.
"Your Majesty, what is going on?"
Al, who came later, looked at the scene in front of him and could hardly believe his eyes.
"The soldiers of the Guards are all noble children and retainers. Everyone is loyal. According to my guess, those golden-eyed soldiers should be under some kind of mental control."
Ariel's starry eyes were bright and she carefully observed the situation of the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield.
Although the strength is almost the same, the soldiers with golden eyes are obviously more powerful in combat, just like puppets who are not afraid of death and pain.
No, they are just puppets. Ariel saw with her own eyes a golden-eyed soldier with half of his head cut off, still rushing towards our soldiers, almost no different from the undead.
"But I have just checked that all the magic circles in the palace are still functioning normally and can block all mind control spells and illusions. How on earth did they control these soldiers?"
Orr's eyes were full of astonishment, and he murmured to himself: "And even the most powerful man cannot mentally control such a number of soldiers. This is simply incredible."
"Qing Orr, now is not the time to worry about these things. First, welcome the normal guards back to the Lion's Castle. With the barrier of the solid castle, it will at least buy us some time to investigate the cause of the matter, thereby avoiding unnecessary casualties, these are all soldiers loyal to me."
The crown on Ariel's forehead shone brightly, she nodded slightly and said, "Let's take action."
After that, the two fifth-level alchemy puppets beside Ariel crashed into the battle like heavy bombs. Wherever they went, all the golden-eyed soldiers who were attacking crazily were stunned or knocked down or fell to the ground, struggling to crawl. Can't get up.
"It's Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the Queen is back!"
Seeing Ariel's slender but majestic figure, the hard-fought Guards soldiers regained their confidence and began to retreat in an orderly manner into the Lion's Castle under Orr's command.
Not long after, under the tyrannical offensive of two powerful fifth-level alchemy puppets, the situation was quickly brought under control and our soldiers were about to evacuate.
Ariel suddenly realized something and became extremely nervous. She said to Al, "Qing Al, I leave this to you. I have more important things to do!"
After that, without waiting for Al's reply, Ariel left a few of the just-summoned fourth-level holy lion puppets to assist in defense, and then flew away with two fifth-level alchemy puppets.
The place Ariel went to was the magic tower closest to the Lion's Castle. Every magic tower in the Cold Flame Palace was the key to supporting the absolute defensive barrier.
Once a certain number of magic towers are destroyed, the huge palace will be completely exposed to the enemy's eyes, and the results can be imagined.
Sure enough, when the tired Ellie rushed to the vicinity of the Magic Tower, she found that the offensive here was even more fierce than that of the Lion's Castle.
There were flames everywhere around the towering magic tower, and shouts of death and screams came one after another.
"It turns out that the Lion's Castle was just a feint attack, and the opponent's goal was to destroy the absolute defense barrier!"
Ariel didn't think about anything else and immediately commanded the two alchemy puppets to join the battle.
However, just when Ariel had just solved the crisis in the magic tower and had not had time to wipe her sweat, she could see clearly while standing in the open space.
Other magic towers in the palace were also filled with smoke. Some of the tower spires had even collapsed, leaving only half of the towers emitting billowing smoke.
Seeing this scene, a biting chill immediately rushed down her spine and into Ariel's mind.
Facing such a large number of attacks, the young Queen of Cold Flames was at a loss, and for a moment she didn't know where to start.
But what is certain is that once the absolute defensive barrier is broken, external enemies will pour into the palace without any hindrance.
Once the palace falls completely, the morale of our soldiers everywhere will definitely plummet. By then, I'm afraid we will never have a chance to stand up again.
In other words, both the Cold Flame Kingdom and the lord are at a critical moment of life and death. If they make one wrong move, they will step into the endless abyss of darkness.
Ariel felt that her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and her mind went blank again.
Thinking about it carefully, I have been growing up under the protection of the Lord Lord. When did I ever encounter such a desperate situation alone?
"Even the birds in the greenhouse will one day fly into the sky, let alone me who is following the lord. I will never let the lord down!"
Ariel didn't panic for too long, but bit her lip and forced herself to calm down.
The lord once said that only by leaving all the rear to him can he safely explore the unknown sea of stars in this world.
And if I can't even go all out in the current desperate situation, how can I respond to the Lord's expectations?
What's more, the Lord is still fighting hard, how can he retreat here?
Ariel took a slow, deep breath and began to re-examine the current situation.
"By the way, there are many powerful cold flame puppets guarding the Lion King Palace. Sending the holy lions to various places to participate in the battle will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on our soldiers to the maximum extent!"
Thinking of this, Ariel did not hesitate, and then flew out with two alchemy puppets, rushing towards the miracle building in the center of the palace.
It didn't take long for Ariel's pale golden magic wings to vibrate and she arrived near the Lion King's Palace.
In the process, she discovered that the entire palace was in chaos, with the sounds of fierce fighting and the clash of weapons everywhere.
"Since the ancestor King of Heroes established the Lengyan Kingdom, the Lengyan Palace has never encountered any attack in history. I didn't expect that I would set this disgraceful record not long after my coronation."
Ariel frowned tightly and continued to move towards the Lion King's Palace. She shook her head helplessly and said in her heart: "If the Lengyan ancestors of the past generations saw such a scene, they would probably scold me to death, right?"
When Ariel's heart was full of mixed feelings, she had already arrived in front of the Lion King's Palace.
What surprised Ariel was that everything was fine here and there was no struggle.
"Her Majesty the Queen, you are here!"
Seeing Ariel's figure, the middle-aged guard captain who had been staying here immediately came forward and asked with an eager look on his face: "What happened in the palace?"
"The situation is urgent. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I will release all the cold flame holy lions to go to various parts of the palace, and tell the holy lions who the enemy is. Don't be idle, follow the holy lions to the nearest magic tower immediately. , you will understand everything when you get there.
Ariel nodded slightly, then walked to the door of the Lion King's Palace and summoned all 20 Cold Flame Holy Lions.
As if sensing the crisis within the palace, these holy lions had just appeared, shaking their heads and wagging their tails nervously, and they all roared and prepared for battle.
"Go and calm all this down. I will continue to think of ways to find out why the soldiers were controlled."
Ariel gently patted the leading holy lion puppet. The latter first whimpered in surrender, then exposed its fangs, and then ran towards the surrounding magic tower separately from the other holy lions.
As for the guards guarding here, they also left quickly with the holy lions.
After everything was arranged, just when Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, something strange happened again.
