On the broad avenue.
The three knights rushed towards Fang Yuan's motorcade.
He was quickly stopped by the Holy Light Knight.
"We are the Sixth Prince."
"The assassin is behind."
"Save me!"
The other party repeated what he just said.
Try to get help.
"Your Excellency."
"Sixth Prince?"
Inside the carriage.
Fang Yuan picked up a piece of information and opened it.
It records the life of the sixth prince of the Alpha Kingdom.
His background was not good.
Mother is just a maid.
But he is very talented and has become a high-level magic crystal warrior very early on.
He is also the honorary vice president of the Alchemist Association.
He has a transcendent talent as an alchemist.
At the age of sixteen, he traveled around various countries.
Created the famous Iron Hand mercenary group.
After returning to the royal capital, he gained the king's trust.
The territory was divided in the northeast, the front line against the Kingdom of Hastings.
In three years, they defeated Hasting's elite cavalry.
Three hundred miles of lost territory and six large cities were recovered.
He became a well-known wise prince in the Alpha Kingdom.
Because of his military exploits in the Northeast.
This gave the Sixth Prince the right to compete for the throne.
It had the full support of a duke.
half a year ago.
The sixth prince has returned to the royal capital and is managing his power.
Still winning people's hearts.
Rumor has it that among the honorary nobles in the royal capital, there are already many groups supporting the Sixth Prince.
On the surface, although the Sixth Prince's reputation is not in danger.
But secretly.
The strength of the sixth prince is even equal to that of the ninth prince who has the support of the king.
And the most important thing is what's behind the Sixth Prince.
Has the support of the nobles in the northeast.
This is definitely a huge advantage.
The front line between Alpha and Hastings.
It has the most elite knight corps in the kingdom.
Gaining their support means that the Sixth Prince has the possibility to overturn the table.
It's just this kind of seed contestant competing for the crown prince.
How could he be chased less than two hundred miles away from the royal capital?
on this bustling trade road.
There should not be a large number of patrol cavalry.
Fang Yuan read the information in his hand.
Questions popped into my mind.
And this time.
The cavalry chasing the Sixth Prince appeared outside.
There were a lot of them, more than thirty people.
Not only was he covered in heavy armor, he was also covered in a black robe.
See Fang Yuan’s team.
These people were so arrogant that they ignored them.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
The leader of the cavalry pointed his sword at Christian.
The next second.
A spear pierced his abdomen.
"You~"
Christian drew back his rifle.
Then he looked at the surrounding cavalry.
"This is the Earl's motorcade."
"Get out of here!"
The blow just now shocked the chasing cavalry.
They took a deep look at Fang Yuan's carriage.
Then left quickly.
Saw the pursuers leaving.
The sixth prince who survived showed a look of joy on his face.
Then he stepped forward.
"Look at your badges, they are from the border."
"I wonder which family it is?"
"Moulin Rouge!"
heard Christian's reply.
The sixth prince was obviously stunned for a moment.
Then he said with a normal expression.
"I see, thank you very much."
"I don't know if I can introduce you to the earl."
Christian shook his head.
"No."
"My master doesn't see guests."
Then the motorcade ignored the Sixth Prince and continued to leave.
After walking away.
Christian asked.
"Your Excellency, why don't we meet?"
Fang Yuan put down the information in his hand.
He said with a sneer.
"What's there to see?"
"It's just a carefully planned trap."
Christian was slightly startled when he heard this.
"Trap?"
"They just now?"
Fang Yuan nodded.
"The Sixth Prince is real."
"The hunt is fake."
"They have long recognized us."
"I came here this time to win over me."
"The Sixth Prince rose from the end."
"Always like to do little tricks."
"This man is a hero at heart."
"Too bad I'm not interested."
"Let's go."
"Go and meet Heidi."
"Discuss how to muddy the water in this royal capital."
"As commanded."
"Your Excellency the Prince."
"Zorro is dead."
After Fang Yuan left.
The cavalrymen just returned.
Appeared in front of the Sixth Prince.
Also carrying the body of the knight leader killed by Christian.
The knight named Zorro is the bodyguard of the sixth prince.
There is also an identity.
He is the leader of the Iron Hand Mercenary Group.
The strength has reached the level of a high-level magic crystal warrior.
A knight of this strength would be hard-pressed to die on the battlefield.
Let alone planning to complete such a small task.
But no one expected that the accident would come so quickly.
Just a meeting.
The right-hand man under the Sixth Prince was killed.
Looking at the dead Zorro.
The sixth prince's eyes were deep and showed no emotion.
"Bring Zorro back for burial."
someone asked next.
"Your Excellency."
"He killed Zorro, and we just let it go?"
The sixth prince looked over and found that he was Zorro's biological brother.
"Of course not."
"This person is a new lord who has just emerged from the border area."
"Count Efron of Moulin Rouge."
"It is said that the attacks of the Orc Kingdom were repelled twice."
"Efron deserves a lot of credit."
"It can even be said that without Efron, the nobles on the border will be defeated."
"We should test this kind of person and this kind of strength many times."
"Besides, you also saw the strength of the knights under his command just now."
'I'm afraid it will get to that point. '
Hear this.
Everyone was stunned.
"Is it a legend?"
The sixth prince nodded.
"Retreat your troops."
"Although our temptation failed this time, it was not without results."
"At least I know Efron is powerful."
"If a lord of this strength can help me during the martial arts tournament."
"The position of king must be mine."
Deep down in his heart, he was not ready to avenge Zorro.
A powerful lord like Fang Yuan.
As long as you take it, the storage position will be stable.
Just a high-level magic crystal warrior.
What does it matter if you die!
The royal capital of the Alpha Kingdom.
It was built three hundred years ago.
Rumor has it that it was at the end of the Yashen era.
The countries on the mainland are in turmoil.
Countless lives died.
The original ten most powerful countries in Middle-earth.
Basically they all died suddenly at the first opportunity.
Those who occasionally survived migrated away.
The entire Middle-earth has become a land of death and silence.
After a long time.
This dead place slowly began to show signs of life.
The capital of the Alpha Kingdom was built on the foundation of the former strongest country in Middle-earth.
After three hundred years of development.
A small mountain village at the beginning.
It has become a majestic city.
The place where the royal capital is located faces the river at its back.
In Jiangxinzhou, there is a defensive fortress.
On the front is a main road.
Highlands were dug out on both sides.
An absolute defensive advantage was formed.
To enter or exit the Royal Capital, you can only use the water gate on the front or the back.
On the whole, the royal capital is divided into inner and outer parts and the imperial city.
A total of three.
The innermost is the Throne of Thorns where King Alpha lives.
The inner city was stationed with iron guards, nobles loyal to the king, and houses purchased by nobles from various places.
The outer city is populated by ordinary civilians.
The entire city is well-structured and hierarchical.
At this time, the old King Kane announced a martial arts tournament.
There was an endless stream of knights entering and leaving the royal capital.
Except from the home country.
There were also a large number of samurai from other countries.
Of course, the most numerous ones are mercenary groups and business groups.
Fang Yuan's motorcade was at the city gate entering the city.
After the city defense troops guarding the city checked his seal.
He showed a flattering look.
"Your Excellency, please!"
Fang Yuan's convoy was released without checking.
asked a city guard behind him.
"Only an earl."
"There are not even one thousand counts in the inner city, but there are eight hundred."
"We are all the same as you, how can we eat."
The city guards guarded the city gate, and this business was what they ate.
In the royal capital, the earl was not a high official.
"Bah."
"Idiot."
"This is the Earl of the fief."
"Collected from the border!"
There is a completely different relationship between a landed earl and an honorary earl.
The latter was completely dependent on the royal family.
The title cannot be passed down and there is no territory.
Basically there are no subordinate troops.
But the actual powerful fiefdom count.
But it can support an army of tens of thousands.
If necessary, more soldiers can be exploded.
in status.
The former is naturally higher than the latter.
Similarly, the city guards did not dare to provoke the fiefdom count.
"Hiss, the Earl of the fief is also here to participate in the tournament."
“It’s really rare.”
"You will see each other again in the future."
"Stop talking nonsense, someone is here again."
After Fang Yuan's motorcade entered the royal capital.
He was quickly targeted.
Not someone else.
Heidi's subordinate.
When Fang Yuan was in front of the hotel.
Heidi's people gave him the news.
"Tell Heidi to come to me in the evening."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
At night.
Inside the hotel, there was silence.
As a powerful nobleman.
Fang Yuan can ask the commoners to go away and enjoy this hotel alone.
Room interior.
A dark eye rolled.
The entire hotel is under surveillance.
This is Heidi's strength.
Devil's Eye.
Can monitor the entire royal capital.
When Heidi first came to the royal capital.
Relying on the power of the Devil's Eye, the situation was quickly opened.
The secrets of each noble were known to him.
Even the royal family can't stop Heidi's prying eyes.
"Your Excellency."
"Information obtained so far."
"In the royal capital, the third prince failed to win over the duke."
"We have decided to take action."
"The time has not been set yet."
"But the third prince has already contacted his team."
"The other nine princes have the support of the king."
"At the same time, three dukes promised that as long as both parties comply with the agreement, they will be given a transcendent status."
"They will also support the Ninth Prince."
"In addition, the Sixth Prince is also very powerful in the royal capital."
"He is a staunch royalist."
"In private, I contacted various nobles and prepared to take advantage of the opportunity of the martial arts tournament."
"Kill a few competitors."
Fang Yuan looked at Heidi's information.
asked after a long time.
"So if we want to muddy the waters, who should we choose to assassinate?"
After Heidi heard it.
He replied without thinking.
"Third Prince."
"He has the greatest power."
"Once the third prince dies, the power supporting him will soon collapse."
"Most of these forces are against the Ninth Prince."
"If the other princes had their support."
"It will rise again soon, and the chaos in the royal capital will continue."
"Because in the next step, these forces that support the prince will unite to kill the ninth prince first."
"They are extremely afraid of the Ninth Prince who is similar to King Kane."
"These nobles, especially the local fiefdom nobles, will never allow the ninth prince to ascend the throne."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"How is the protective force around the third prince?"
"There are legendary level guardians and many alchemists."
"He takes his own safety very seriously."
"Hardly go out."
"But I attend banquets between nobles every day."
"The whereabouts are kept secret."
"But I have learned that today he will go to the Paul family's banquet in the inner city."
"The Paul family is the honorary ducal family of the royal capital."
"Although he does not have a fief, he controls the kingdom's finances."
"He is the treasurer of the kingdom."
"The third prince spent a lot of money to win over him."
"Recently, the king has held a martial arts tournament."
"The Paul family took the opportunity to make money, and the entire kingdom's finances recovered a lot."
"Won the King's favor."
"If the third prince can get the support of the Paul family."
"The chances of fighting for the throne can be increased by half."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan tapped his fingers slightly on the table.
"Assassinate him in Paul's family."
"This family must be the king's confidants."
"Die with them."
"The capital will immediately fall into chaos."
"Qingfeng!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"What help do you need to assassinate the third prince?"
"My strength has returned to the legendary primary level."
"He's just a prince, he doesn't need help."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"Go ahead."
"I hope to hear good news from you tonight."
inner city.
The Paul family home.
It is different from the banquet of the feudal nobles.
Honorary nobles do not have fiefdoms, and the land around the royal capital is very valuable.
It is almost impossible to build a manor in the city.
So the banquets are held at home.
In the inner city, the higher the title, the wider the house.
As Honorary Duke, Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The Paul family owns the most luxurious mansion.
Tonight's banquet.
Hundreds of nobles were invited to participate.
Of course, they are mostly foils.
The real distinguished guest is the third prince.
And there is only one purpose for entertaining each other.
The Paul family is also preparing for a showdown.
Been an honorary noble for a long time.
They are ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
Become a feudal noble.
Although he has contributed a lot to being in charge of the kingdom's finances.
But the old King Kane refused to entrust the land in his hands to them.
Now, Kane Sr. is lying in a hospital bed.
I have been unconscious for half a month.
At this time, the nobles had already begun to collude secretly.
The Paul family can survive until now.
They are already among the nobles, the most loyal to the old king.
But obviously, they can't handle the pressure now.
The banquet begins outside.
An endless stream of nobles entered the Paul family in carriages.
And at this moment.
Deep inside the Paul family mansion.
The third prince and Patriarch Paul were making the final bargaining chip.
"News from the palace."
"It is impossible for the old king to wake up."
"Now I rely on alchemy potions to survive."
"I haven't seen the old king for half a month."
Patriarch Paul revealed the most confidential information.
"The so-called martial arts tournament is just an attempt by the Ninth Prince to delay time."
"In seven days at the earliest, wait until the leader of the Iron Guard returns."
"The ninth prince can get the support of the Iron Guard."
"The Iron Guard collectively supports the Ninth Prince, and both the Imperial Guard and the City Defense Army will be afraid."
"The Ninth Prince can easily insert his own people and control the two legions."
"You won't stand a chance."
"As for the Dukes outside the city."
"They are just a bunch of losers."
"The Ninth Prince has captured the legions in the capital, and they will never dare to resist."
"I will just hand you over to the Ninth Prince obediently and recognize him as the new king."
The third prince took a deep breath.
"I didn't expect that Lao Jiu could actually get the support of the leader of the Iron Guard."
"Damn it, shouldn't he be dead?"
Then he looked at Patriarch Paul.
"In that case, why don't you support the Ninth Prince, but support me."
Patriarch Paul smiled lightly.
"When the Ninth Prince comes to power, he will have his own financial officer."
"I am an honorary noble and have no territory."
"You can only take your family to the border, or be reduced to a low-level noble."
"It was so cruel that my family wanted to give it a try."
The third prince nodded.
"What should I pay?"
"When you become a king, you become an earldom."
"Besides this information, what other support can I get?"
This is what the third prince is most concerned about.
"Among the honorary lords, there are thirteen powerful dukes who support me."
"At the same time, there are five thousand mercenaries in the capital who have awakened the magic crystal."
Hearing this, the third prince's eyes lit up.
This is indeed a force that is enough to turn the tables.
"Okay, I promise you."
"An earldom."
"What are the conditions for the other thirteen dukes?"
Patriarch Paul smiled slightly.
"You can see them tonight."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They all know it.
The situation in the royal capital will change because of their alliance.
Although the Ninth Prince is strong, he is still seven days old.
And within seven days.
As long as they are fast enough, they can destroy each other.
"Then Paul."
"I can't wait to see them."
"Please come to the banquet with me."
"There you will meet them."
And just when the two stood up and were about to leave.
In the shadows, a figure swayed.
Then a black figure suddenly appeared from the shadow.
When they don't notice.
The black figure suddenly took action.
Two short blades pierced their necks.
Immediately the head was cut off.
The third prince and the patriarch of the Paul family.
The most powerful nobles in the royal capital died together in a secret room.
Qingfeng, who succeeded in the assassination, swayed slightly.
Leave with two heads. And tonight is destined to be the beginning of chaos in the royal capital. (End of chapter)
