Chapter 558 Chaos Luncheon
The guard's words shocked all the nobles present. They did not expect that the assassin was already so close to them.
Moreover, the guards outside the palace had not noticed the danger at all before, and it was only now that they rushed in to protect Gars.
The royal guards raised their shields in front of the new emperor, raised their heads, and nervously paid attention to the movement on the roof. Everyone looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
On the contrary, Garth, who was surrounded in the middle, looked quite calm. He frowned and asked, "How many assassins are here?"
"Only one person has been found for the time being, but I don't know if he has any accomplices." The guard who came to escort him replied.
"Is an assassin so scary to you?" A look of displeasure appeared on Garth's face.
"The King's Landing Tower is the strongest castle in the empire. Let alone one person, even if there are tens of thousands of troops outside, it will not be easy to break in. We are safe here. The Imperial Guardsmen should think carefully about how to catch the assassin. ”
The new emperor's words effectively eased the tense atmosphere in the hall. After being reminded like this, the nobles remembered that there was still a thick stone dome between them and the assassin.
Even if the people outside use axes to chop for a whole day, they can't even think of splitting the roof. And the archers will arrive in a while. If the assassin doesn't retreat, he will be shot into a sieve.
But not long after Gals finished speaking, the commotion outside the castle seemed to intensify.
"No, it's on fire! Put out the fire quickly!!!"
"No, that place is too high to reach. We have to wait for someone to move the ladder over. Let's protect His Majesty and leave first!"
Then another group of royal guards rushed in, pulled up Garth on the Bone Throne without any explanation, and quickly evacuated from the side door.
The remaining nobles in the hall were all confused at this time. They did not know what the situation was outside. Seeing that the new emperor had taken the lead in running away, most of them felt that a disaster was coming and immediately rushed out.
The crowd was pushing and shoving, mixed with shouts and curses. From time to time, some people fell to the ground and screamed. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Miss Rabbit was also ready to run away. Before running away, she grabbed another plate of dolphin meat pie, but when she turned around, she saw Li Yu standing there calmly, not in a hurry.
She felt confident in her heart instantly, and also slowed down her pace, and the two of them just hung at the back of the crowd.
The female lord tried her best to protect the meat pie on her chest, while wondering whether to order any other dishes. It was a rare occasion, and no one would notice her taking the opportunity to pack it in the chaos of the war.
Unfortunately, the chaos did not last too long. Perhaps because he couldn't stand the chaos in front of him, Essos took the initiative to stand up.
As the commander of the garrison and the head of the Godwin family, his words are still very useful.
Moreover, Essos set an example and quickly restored order to the panicked crowd.
When everyone exited the main hall, they discovered that the so-called fire was not big. It was located at the top of the King's Landing Tower and would be difficult to extinguish for a while.
As for the Wing Clan assassin, he had long since disappeared. Only those who rushed out first were lucky enough to see his leaving figure.
That guy seemed to have a pair of red wings, which looked like a ball of fire streaking across the sky.
Although many people have seen the Wing Clan warrior named Moen soaring in the sky a few days ago, it was only in the competition field after all.
Moreover, Ilea, the new champion at the time, was too strong. She seemed to have killed the annoying bastard who had acted arrogantly, uttered arrogant words, and murdered the Silver Knight without even breaking a sweat.
As a result, many people do not have a very clear understanding of the true strength of those wing tribes, especially what they can do with the help of those wings.
Until this time the King's Landing Tower was attacked. Not only was the palace set on fire (although only a little), but the new emperor was forced to flee in embarrassment. Then everyone else ran out in a swarm, causing many people to fall and get injured.
And from the beginning to the end, there was only one person on the opposite side who was able to achieve this level of success.
Everyone couldn't help but ask themselves a question in their hearts, what if the words of the former captain of the imperial guard were true? The next time they would come would not just be a lone assassin, but a large army.
The number does not need to be too large, as long as there are a few thousand people, no lord or town can resist their attack.
The stone fortress that the nobles of the Red Lion Empire were proud of looked more fragile than ever before under their wings.
In fact, just now, everyone agreed with the intelligence chief's statement.
That is because the number of those Wing Clan is too small. So far, only two have appeared, and one is in the Western Region. Most people have never seen it with their own eyes.
It’s hard to believe that such a small number of people can stir up such big waves.
But now, two wing tribesmen appeared one after another in Lionheart Castle alone. Coupled with Edward II's words before his death, many people's hearts were cast into a shadow.
And to say that the person in the worst mood is the new emperor of the empire, Gars.
A good coronation ceremony was first interrupted, then attacked by assassins, and a fire was set above the head, making it a mess.
Garth now had the desire to kill, and his expression was almost gloomy. He immediately ordered Essos to capture the assassin with red wings.
Although Essos agreed, he still reminded, "Your Majesty, that assassin has wings, and he has probably flown away from Lionheart Castle by now."
"Then send an order to the nearby lords, mobilize them, and cooperate with the arrest! I don't care what means you use, but you must catch that guy and bring him or his head to me. Otherwise, you guard Team Commander, don’t even think about doing it anymore,” Garth said fiercely.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
The new emperor then glared at Earl Clyde who was standing aside, "There's still you, let's go back to the fief for a while, and then come back when the limelight has passed."
Clyde's heart trembled when he heard this. Gars had just sat on the Bone Throne, and it was the time for employment. As a close confidant of Gars, he did not want to leave Lionheart Castle at this time.
I don’t know when I’ll be back again, and by then all the good work will probably be taken away.
But since Clyde had revealed such a big thing, he didn't dare to say anything at all. He lowered his head and said, "Okay, I'll pack my things and leave next month."
"Don't wait until next month, just today. You will leave Lionheart Castle today, and the people below can slowly pack up your things." Garth said coldly.
Clyde felt bitter in his heart. (End of chapter)
