MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1428 everyone's thoughts
The fact that the empress and her party were able to leave smoothly was because Prince Behar did not try his best to save the emperor's life. Even if the guards around the emperor were wiped out, they would at most capture the empress alive. Right now, there is no time to kill the king.
But in fact, where the prince didn't care, things gradually became different from what he imagined.
The real reason why the prince's heavily armed soldiers could not catch up with the empress was because they didn't want to face the magician directly.
The Long Island matter may not have reached their ears yet, but there were also people they knew who had died in the hands of those who assassinated the magician in the first two waves. There are countless examples of broken families, and they certainly don't want to go through this, or bring such a miserable experience to their own family members.
The soldiers did not dare to push away or hurt the nobles who were running around and blocking their advance route. Even if the Shangguan issued an order, these nobles were not something they could touch or kill.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and supports offline reading.
If you really foolishly obey orders and do things that are not allowed. Regardless of whether or not the Empress was captured in the end, everyone knew very well that when the family members of the nobles who died suddenly asked for an explanation, they would be pushed out to silence those nobles.
In other words, the mess in front of them was a dead end for these soldiers.
Even if the nobles' life and death are ignored, and the force is pushed forward, the final result is only allowed to capture the empress, not to kill the emperor and ascend the throne. Then in the process of dealing with the aftermath, my group of people will inevitably become bargaining chips in negotiations and props to comfort people's hearts, or else they will be an explanation to the empress.
If the task fails, he will be reprimanded by the prince and even have other punishments. As for the inability to carry out the orders and the lack of training, of course there will be some excruciating drills afterwards.
…
Comparing the two, it seems that it would be better to let the task fail. At least he can save his life in the end, and he will live a little more miserable, at most he will be expelled. In a word, no one believed that the prince would protect himself.
Of course, the soldiers did not discuss or connect such things in advance, and everyone just stepped on the same pace with a tacit understanding, firmly maintaining the advancing formation. Even if some people don't understand at first, but after being slowed down by the people around them, they will understand.
To be able to enter the Guards Corps and serve as a guard for the children of the royal family, loyalty is the basic requirement, but shrewdness is the most basic quality. Even if they are only low-level soldiers, they can be non-commissioned officers after being released. Of course, no one is an idiot.
Compared with the small thoughts of the soldiers, the nobles have other ideas. They never thought about what it's like to watch a play and see being forced to act on stage, let alone those who lost their lives.
Especially those grand dukes who attended the meeting. You must know where they originally stood, but they were the closest to the beauty lamp.
If the magician didn't cast a spell to displace the beauty lamp, but exploded around them, even if he had magic props to save his life, what about the children he brought with him? Are they all safe and sound?
Even if there are life-saving magic props to defend themselves, it doesn't mean that these noble people are willing to be bombed! More importantly, they had no prior knowledge of such an arrangement. If the magician made the wrong choice, it is very likely that they will be sent away.
Almost all the nobles who stayed by the beauty lamp had expressions so dark that ink dripped out.
Except for the Archduke Frias, the father of Prince Thomas and a staunch supporter of Prince Behar. His expression was not annoyed that he was also calculated, but an expression of regret that things were not as expected.
Without asking, everyone can probably guess that Grand Duke Frias must be an insider, or even a planner! This made everyone even more angry.
Don't look at the fact that everyone is uniting to deal with the emperor now, the competition among nobles still exists. If the several grand dukes present were really killed by the bomb, they could all imagine what kind of framing would be done next. Then he engulfed all the nobles and raised the flag of rebellion against the emperor.
Don't think that by doing this, your own family can also benefit. If the successor is uncertain, or even who the successor is, it is possible for the family to weaken or even be wiped out in the following changes.
As for the little nobles who were injured or killed by the bombing, they hated both the Empress and Prince Behar at the moment. They wouldn't foolishly think that if the empress gave up their resistance, the corpse explosion wouldn't happen to them.
One counts as one, the protagonist of the struggle must be hated, and the person who set up the corpse explosion trap must be hated even more!
That's why Prince Behar's heroic bombing pushed many little nobles away from his camp. It means that these little nobles were not taken seriously by the prince from the very beginning. Even if it's all gone, he probably doesn't care.
But those nobles who were not counted as great nobles, who were not affected by the original beauty lamp, and of course were not harmed by the corpse explosion, did not continue to insist on standing in the prince's camp in their hearts. Because the words of a magician reminded them of one thing.
For them, the best emperor is a mediocre man. In this way, the emperor will not toss them all.
Slightly better, it is the kind of person who has no connections or no strength, just like the current Empress. In this way, everyone still has a way to isolate the emperor from the core of power.
But put a tyrant on the throne... expect the kid to change his character when he grows up? That kind of words are used to deceive others, not yourself.
You know, Prince Behar's current character is the result of the joint efforts of the nobles. But it seems that the effect is too much, and there is a phenomenon of backlash against oneself.
Because everyone trusted the host of the banquet, that is, Prince Behar, everyone came in gorgeous clothes without armed guards. However, the prince took the initiative to break the rules, only for his own purpose, completely disregarding the life and death of other people.
Comparing the actions of the Empress's side, they are mainly avoiding, knowing that this banquet hall is not a suitable place for fighting. So they didn't fight back from the beginning to the end, they just kept defending. This did not make the already messy situation in the banquet hall unmanageable.
The performance of the two parties made everyone's original position of supporting Prince Behar quietly shifted. Of course, it is impossible to switch to the empress camp, but everyone no longer trusts and supports Prince Behar so much.
It can be said that this banquet, on the surface, was a loss to the Empress. Let St. Alegria's deeds on the pillar of shame add one more thing. But in fact, the person who lost both face and reputation is probably the prince who covets the throne of the emperor.
All of this is actually not the calculation of a certain magician. He just happened suddenly, so he made the choice he would make according to his own habits. It's just that the concessions and evasions that were criticized in the past have produced unexpected results this time.
However, someone didn't realize what good he had done, and his full attention was still on the empress' retreat.
Of all the types of battles or wars, retreating is the hardest. How to reduce losses, but also to separate from the battlefield and block the pursuit of troops, it can be said that there is no standard answer, and we can only play by ear.
As soon as they left the big house, the queen's guard knights blew a dragon flute. It is a thin, pointed whistle capable of a high-frequency sound that only dragons or drakes can hear. At best, human beings feel that the ears are a little harsh and uncomfortable. This is to call the Legion of Dragoons to come to support.
At the same time, someone among the queen's guards fired a firework into the sky. In addition to calling for reinforcements, he also asked the people driving the carriage to come over as soon as possible.
The boarding and evacuation actions were very smooth, because no one seriously stopped them. This surprised Lin quite a bit, but also felt lucky. He is not a bloodthirsty person in nature. Although he has been in a daze until now, he will not feel guilty for taking his life, but it does not mean that he enjoys killing people. Killing people is not a pleasant thing.
The empress, who was brought out under the armpit, and her close friends were all thrown into the emperor's carriage by the tall and strong guard. Lin followed the car cheekily, and the guarding knights did not stop him. In a hurry, the knights also need the magical robes of the magician to become the shield of His Majesty the Emperor.
After getting into the car, Lin not only helped to carry and fix the body of Calamus, but also took good care of the Empress. Who knows if Prince Behar's people will suddenly have a convulsion, from a posing to a real killing.
There are many such things in the art of war that I know. First relax his vigilance, and then attack and kill him in one fell swoop.
If he stayed away from the Empress, he might not be able to save people in time like the corpse explosion just now~www.novelbuddy.com~ So Lin insisted on getting on the same carriage. Let this empress stay away from her eyelids, she can't feel at ease at all.
In the carriage, the deadly atmosphere was quickly broken, it was the guarding knights from outside. One of them patted the window of the emperor's imperial carriage and asked inside, "Your Majesty, the support of the dragoons has arrived. Do you want to leave first by flying dragon?"
Alegria was about to answer, but Lin pressed the other's hand and said, "Turn around, all go to the temple of the Church of the Three Holy Lights."
The empress didn't understand what someone meant at first, but when she followed Lin's fingers and looked over, Calamus' painful expression made her understand instantly. Then he ordered to the outside: "Turn to the Temple of Life and find the archbishop."
The Empress' orders have always been simple, clear, and unquestionable. Of course the guard knights have no objection.
Perhaps it would be a shame for a nobleman, even as an emperor, to seek refuge in the temple of the gods. But no one can guarantee the way back to the palace, so there is no other ambush.
Even returning to the palace from the air is not so safe. The empire's flying troops are not limited to dragoons. So in the name of saving people, switching to the temple is a very clever tactical transfer. At least give them more time to mobilize His Majesty's guards.
And on the carriage, the returning soulful empress looked at Calamus' painful expression. She didn't dare to look at a certain magician, so she just asked in a suppressed voice: "Just now, that was fake. My Lisa was just locked up in a place we don't know yet."
Lin thought for a while and said tactfully: "Just now it was the corpse explosion technique in the undead magic. I don't think the prince will specifically change the appearance of a corpse to look like Lisa to confuse us. With that little For the guy's reckless personality, he can't do such delicate operations. So..."
