Chapter 24 Paladin Krapol and the Disappearing Prince of Darkness!

"Well, I feel a little uncomfortable when I get up in the morning. Maybe I have a cold." Eulius said, "Let's get to business. Krapol, maybe I should tell you clearly that the sky still hates what you have done to offend him, and at the same time, I don't believe in your loyalty to him at all. You should also understand that the new king is a narrow-minded person, and he can even be cruel to his own brother and sister. Everyone knows that the one in Dilu County is the real princess, but His Majesty still claims that Princess Sophia has already died in the royal city. Krabol, although you have made great achievements in the war against Sier, it will make the sky more jealous of you..."

Clapore deliberately ignored the rude behavior of the lord in red to call the current king by his name. He found some faint black spots on Ellus' neck and other places, but Ellius himself did not seem to notice.

"Krapor," the cardinal stood still and tried to make himself look sincere and majestic. "Do you really think that what this country needs is a king who escapes from the royal city regardless of his father's safety and does the ugly thing as killing his brother?"

krapol narrowed his eyes slightly. Of course, he knew that he should pretend to be shocked or frightened at this time to make Euris feel that he had been guided by his words. But he didn't try to do that, because he knew that he was never good at acting. Besides, long before he came here, he knew what Ellus wanted to say.

Elyus was able to become a cardinal because only the cardinal or the pope was qualified to preside over the king's coronation ceremony, so it was necessary to elect a cardinal instead of the Marquis of Liêting and other high-ranking nobles who really supported Eurius. However, Euris was not willing to be a bridge that was demolished after being crossed the river. He dreamed of having the power that Saladi had before, so it became his top priority to win over Krapoor, who had a high reputation among the army and knights.

Of course, what he wants to target is not the current king's sky, but the Marquis of Lianting who gained more power by supporting and manipulating the sky. He wants all the nobles to understand that the Holy See still has the power to depose the king, so as to restore theocracy above the throne and thus over all nobles. .

"Your Excellency in red," Krabol lowered his head slightly. "The current situation is not a question of whether His Majesty the Sky is qualified to become king, but whether the country really needs a king, even if he is just a symbol to gather all the nobles."

"But there are more suitable candidates, aren't there?" Eulius whispered, "Prince Louis and Sophia are both in Dilu. Although Prince Louis is still young, he is also qualified to continue to the throne. Similarly, although there has never been a queen in the history of the kingdom, the law does not explicitly deny women's inheritance rights.

"Women have the right to inherit only if there is no male heir. Moreover, it is not easy to dethrone a king..." Krapol carefully pointed out this fact.

"That's what I want to say," Eurius touched his neck and felt itchy. "Maybe we can change the king without any procedure, can't we?"

Krapol suddenly raised his head. Although he understood Elyus's ambition, he still underestimated the means used by the cardinal to achieve his purpose.

If the king's sky dies, the power of the Marquis of Ting will naturally be greatly weakened. And Euris has become the only cardinal in the church. No matter who the next king is, he will consolidate his power by presiding over the canonization ceremony again. More importantly, because the sky has become a puppet of the Marquis of Lientin, Eulys can only start from Prince Louis, who is only a teenager, to control the royal family.

To some extent, this plan is feasible. The problem is that the current king is harmless. Unless someone accidentally stabbed a sword into his neck, he will naturally not die well.

Obviously, Ellus thought that Clapole would be the one who accidentally stabbed the sword into the king's neck.

"Krapol, what do you think?" Ellus stared at the paladin.

The paladin was not in a hurry to reply, but stared at the neck of Eurus in red: "Sir, your neck..."

"What's wrong with my neck?" Eulyus subconsciously touched the itching part of his neck. Something sticky touched his hand, and he put his hand in front of him in astonishment and found that it was his blood.

Krapor frowned and looked at Eurius. Somehow, scars began to crack from the cardinal's neck, and blood kept overflowing. The flesh and blood in the scar began to turn into a lymph node-like dark black, which quickly spread to the cardinal's whole body and turned him into an ugly and terrible monster in a moment.

Clapore had never encountered such a thing. He looked at Eulius in shock and tried to figure out what had happened to him. However, a fierce light with the smell of killing began to flash in Eurius' eyes...

*

At the foot of a mountain in the north of the Fair Kingdom.

Although the sky has finally cleared up, the showers that have lasted for several days still make the ground muddy.

A group of ragged refugees slowly moving forward in sorrow, helpless old people, crying babies, widows and orphans who have lost their loved ones. The Orcs' invasion has made them lose their homes, and no one is sure whether the front can really bring them hope.

Since the occurrence of the three northern counties, there has been almost no moment of calm here. First, the conflict between the local nobles and the chief executive sent by the royal city turned into a local armed infighting. Before long, the dark prince Parnqi passed through here with his rebels, and now, even the orcs in the cold windy hills have flooded into this muddy water.

At first, they also hoped to wait until the church and the royal family sent troops to save them, but as the villages on the land were destroyed by the barbaric orcs, the army of the kingdom did not even see a shadow.

They have been abandoned or forgotten.

They don't even know how long such a journey has passed. There are always people dying or falling along the way, and there are always new refugees joining their ranks.

Although the future is no longer visible, even ant-like life is unwilling to lie on the ground and wait for death. Although suffering from the grief of losing loved ones, living people still need to live. They don't need too many reasons to survive, just out of blind obedience to fate.

There was a sudden riot in the rear of the team.

"The orcs," someone shouted in horror, "the orcs are coming."

Everyone fled desperately, but even out of the struggle for life, they could not get rid of the pursuit of the orc army. The refugees who fell behind have become corpses under knives and axes, and the people in front of them have no chance to survive.

Despair infects everyone who no longer holds hope.

At this moment, a pleasant roar suddenly came from the distance. A giant bird with a blazing fire flew over and landed among the orc army with irresistible power. Its wings flapped, the flames rolled wildly, and many orcs immediately turned into scorched earth.

The ferocious and savage orcs tried to attack the firebird, but only turned into a corpse burned by flames in vain.

On the back of the giant bird, riding on a beautiful woman.

"His Royal Highness Sophia!" Someone guessed her identity and shouted excitedly, "It's Your Highness, Your Highness has come to save us."

At the same time, a cavalry circled the hill and quickly joined the regiment. This is the Wind Knights led by Boruid, who interspersed and fought between the Orcs, and soon made the Orc army that had been disrupted by * collapse.

The battle ended quickly, and almost no one escaped the Orc army.

For those refugees, being rescued in such a desperate situation, they can't help but kneel down to the noble princess.

However, there was not much joy on Princess Sophia's face. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, her heart was more sad and sighing.

While the Knights of the Wind cleaned up the battlefield and escorted the remaining refugees to a safe place, Sophia left first. She crossed several hills until she came to an earth city made of adobe and irregular stones.

Leaving*, she walked into Tucheng, and the rose knights led by Molly quickly greeted her and escorted her to the house used as a temporary command post.

In there, General Leot was staring at the map placed on the table.

"Haven't you found Panenqi yet?" Princess Sophia asked.

Leot shook his head indifferently.

Since entering the three northern counties, with the deterrence of * and the combat effectiveness of the Knights of the Wind, they have annihilated many orc corps. However, just as they were about to face the rebels led by the dark prince Parnqi, Paschi and his army suddenly disappeared.

"This kind of thing has been done once in the royal city." General Leot frowned, "However, the last time they just wanted to leave Grusidia and get out of the struggle of all sides, but this time it was different. Panqi has gained a foothold in Hoxhedon County, which has become his base, and he can never give up this territory just because of our arrival. Therefore, he must hide in the dark and peep at us, looking for the best time to attack us.

Because of *, even Panqi dared not fight directly with Princess Sophia and the soldiers she brought. Despite this, *after all, there is only one, and her army still needs to face the orcs wandering everywhere, and it is difficult to beware everywhere. If Panke takes a separate and annihilate guerrilla warfare, it will be a headache for both Sophia and Leot.

Their strength is limited and they can't consume too much in this battle.

The key point is that, just like half a year ago, Count Ainhuly could not understand how Panqi and his pirates left the royal city silently, although the lone wolf general Leot sent a lot of reconnaissance cavalry, still did not figure out where Panqi's army had moved.

The day before yesterday, Panqi's resistance was still under the surveillance of Leot. Overnight, the army of nearly 10,000 people seemed to have evaporated from the world and could not be found.

"Can't even find their whereabouts by the prophecy of the wind?" Sophia sighed.

"Obviously, the other party also has at least one mage who is good at interfering with prophecy and shielding magic reconnaissance." Leot gently tapped the table with his fingers as he thought, "I sent Emma and Wei Feng out, but this time, I doubt they can find out the specific location of Panqi's hiding place. And this map is not detailed enough to make too many speculations. After all, Panqi has been operating in this place for several months more than us.

"If only Meji were here. He has a star compass." Sophia thought for a moment, "Maybe I can pick him up. Yesterday, I heard from Xiaoxue that Meggie has gone to the Fog Girl Forest and can find him in two or three days at the speed of *."

"If there is a star compass, it will indeed be more beneficial to us. Although Panqi's hiding place should be a place that is not easy for us to think of, the place where thousands of people can hide must be limited. The star compass can help us judge and screen, and with the reconnaissance range of *, the probability of finding Parn will increase a lot. Leo looked up at Sophia, "However, there is one thing, I hope your Highness can make up your mind early."

"What's the matter?"

"Even if we can find Panke and his army and defeat them," Leot replied faintly. "As long as the dark prince doesn't die for a day, he will still be the thorn on our neck. He is so dangerous that people can never ignore him. And kill him..."

"Do you have to kill Tinwell?" Sophia's heart suddenly lickered. Panuwei's heart is hidden in Tinuweir's body. As long as Tinuweir is still alive, Panqi will never be injured.

"I understand," Sophia sighed gently, "actually, I have thought about this for a long time. Although I am a little hesitant, if I really get to that point, I will kill Tinuvir myself.

This is war. Personal emotions are nothing in this torrent that often leads to thousands of deaths...

After leaving Leot, Sophia thought for a moment and came to a simple private house nearby.

Liselle and the little fairy are all in here. Since dispersing with Meji, Liselle has nowhere to go and has to follow Sophia. And the little fairy has also been with Liselle.

Lisel saw Sophia come in and quickly stood up.

The little fairy also flew around the princess, looking quite boring. Although the little fairy doesn't like this kind of day with Liselle in a daze, as a little forest fairy, she hates the battlefields full of corpses. In fact, she already regretted not agreeing to go to New Asia to find Meggie with Liselle.

"I'll leave tonight and pick up Meggie." Sophia told Liselle.

Liselle's body trembled and soon showed a happy expression.

Sofia smiled and then looked at the little fairy: "Help me tell Meji that I need his help and let him wait for me there."

"Simple." The little fairy waved her magic wand and began to contact Meiji through conscious transmission.

After a while, the little fairy said "h" and seemed to be a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Sophia looked at her worriedly.

"No, it's nothing," the little fairy replied. "It's just that Meji told me that Alina was sick."

"Is Alina sick?"

"He said that Alina's body has been very weak recently and she often wants to vomit. He went to Drui, a woman from the Kyle village, but after the examination, the woman only said congratulations to him and left, which made him puzzled. He asked Alina, but Alina just blushed and didn't tell him anything, which made him depressed now. The little fairy's eyes are getting bigger and bigger, "Don't you think, it sounds a little like..."

Suffia was also stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "If it's true, maybe I shouldn't let Meggie leave her at this time."

"Aren't you angry?" The little fairy flew to Sophia and observed her carefully.

"Angry?" Sophia sighed, "Are you angry with Meji? It's useless for that guy to be angry with him, right? Moreover, sometimes he is really unpopular. As for being angry with Alicena... Well, I also know Alicena very well. Even if it's strange, I can only blame Meggie. Speaking of which, Alina refused to tell Meggie the truth, but I'm afraid it still has something to do with me. Unlike Emma or the Wind, Alina is just an ordinary woman with a more traditional thought.

Liselle looked at Sophia and the little fairy puzzledly and didn't understand what they were talking about.

"But you don't look very happy." The little fairy said.

"No, there is no such thing." Sophia slowly walked to the window and looked out of the window in silence.
