Chapter 39 Entering the Imperial Capital
Di Changli understood that this was a futile action, but he did not stop it. De Gretel led people to search, and he squatted down and carefully examined the bodies of the two assassins.
Both of them are wearing stacked armor, but the signs and graphics that can show the origin have been worn out, and no items can be found to prove their identity. They are as clean as if they had just been born from the mother's belly.
Stacked armor is naturally not something that can be made at the technological level of Phoenix Star. It is usually given the title of paladin before it is given to the temple. Obviously, the messenger behind these two assassins is undoubtedly a refiner.
Although the federal refiners put on the continent of Onola by the * group are generally maintained at about 500, and the total number of stacked armor provided is tens of thousands, and each refiner can more or less control some share. Now in the territory of the Delman Empire, the refiners who have the conditions and interests to assassinate an indigenous saint are naturally the heavenly generals of their own country. Of course, the biggest suspect is Marshal Fernando, but it is not ruled out that other forces will frame and fish in troubled waters.
Leve entered the imperial capital this time to take over the position of Princess Suanna. Everyone knows this matter. If something happened to her, Princess Suana's intention would naturally fail, allowing Fernando to take the opportunity to hold a good opportunity and add a little to push Prince Joonkais to the throne. Hold it. However, there are both advantages and disadvantages in everything. The benefits of Fernando doing so are obvious, but his unscrupulous way of doing things are bound to attract criticism and disgusting hatred. After all, he can even assassinate and murder a saint, the representative of the goddess of nature in the secular world, with such a low and vicious means. Naturally, the people in the camp of his hostile forces are in danger and will be more strongly opposed to her in the future.
Anyway, tonight's assassination has made the wind fluctuation of the battle for the throne of the Dedelman Empire more and more complicated. Di Changli frowned slightly, and his eyes sparkled with an uncertain light. Before departure, he had a general plan for the action after arriving at the imperial capital. After this assassination of Saint Leif, he strengthened his mind.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the saint Leif standing aside silently. Di Changli said to her two maids and several knights, "Take the body out. No one is allowed to come in without my instructions."
"Yes." The knights and the two maids were a little surprised, but the commander dared not disobey the order uneasily, dragged the two bodies out, and then guarded outside the tent.
"Saint Leif." Di Changli pondered for a moment and then said, "These two assassins came to you specially. You must also know something about the current situation?"
"Yes." Leif nodded calmly. She belonged to Princess Suanna's family, which was an indisputable fact, and said, "Thank you for your help."
Although she thanked her, Leif's expression was as plain as before. Di Changli could feel that she was not born indifferent, but unconsciously maintained a vigilance against everyone.
took a deep look at her, and Di Changli said indifferently, "You're welcome. Since you have been with me all the way, it is my responsibility to protect you. Besides, even if I don't take action, those two assassins may not endanger your life.
"I'm flattered." The color in Leif's beautiful eyes changed slightly, and she turned her head slightly, avoiding Di Changli's sharp eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts. As a saint, she learns a lot of things, including martial arts, but it is usually learned for self-defense. It is true that it is not a problem to deal with a few ordinary people. If you can deal with these two paladin-level assassins tonight, it is a little exaggerated anyway.
"Is it?" Di Changli smiled and his eyes were quite thought-provoking.
Leif suddenly felt a little nervous. Di Changli's eyes not only seemed to see through some of her secrets, but also contained an inexplicable and strange emotion, which was fierce, deep and dangerous, just like the underground molten slurry quietly under the thick and cold rocks.
What kind of emotion is this? Leif was very confused and uneasy, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only barely maintain a calm posture and silently face Di Changli. He can't help thinking in panic. Di Changli's strength is well known. If he pursues some of his secrets and even makes some embarrassing demands, how can he refuse to protect himself?
Fortunately, this situation that made Leif extremely nervous was not very long. Di Changli did not force her to say anything, let alone make any rude hints. He just looked at her silently for a while and finally left a sentence: "There should be nothing more tonight. Have a good rest."
When Di Changli turned around and left, Leif seemed to hear him sigh, and the sigh was so low that Leif doubted whether it was her own illusion.
Unexpected by Di Chang, Gretel returned in vain after searching outside for a while. Regarding the speculation about the origin of the two assassins, Gretel and Di Changli's judgment agreed, and they were a little worried. They carefully reminded Di Changli and asked them if they needed to take any countermeasures.
Di Changli did not say anything, but said that he was measured and would solve these things, so that Gretel did not have to worry and just did his duty well.
The calmness of the commander made Gretel feel at ease. He could sense that the commander did not seem to regard Marshal Fernando as an opponent of the same level. This made De Gretel have the same mentality as Brown, and felt that he was very lucky to be able to follow the leader.
On the next journey, Gretel fought with the knights in a twelve-point spirit and dared not slack off at all times, lest there be any unexpected situation that would happen again, causing the saint to be hurt. That is the guilt of death.
However, the last two days of the trip were very calm. Along the way, not even an eye-catching suspect was found. After looking at the tall and majestic wall of the imperial capital from afar, Gretel breathed a long sigh of relief and the highly tense nerves were finally relaxed.
When he entered the imperial capital, the temple had already sent personnel to wait at the gate to welcome Di Changli's group. The specifications and scale of the two cardinals, as many as hundreds of welcoming teams, took them to the temple lively.
Unexpectedly, not only Princess Suanna and the Pope greeted them outside the Temple of the Imperial City, but also Marshal Fernando lowered his figure and waited outside to meet them in person. As for the highest-level leaders of the Delman Empire, they were also basically present, including the three princes Flamenikes, Matthew Cais and JoĆ£okes. The luxurious array was so bright and dazzling that it almost filled the big square outside the temple. If it hadn't been for the lack of safety of His Majesty Neo III, I'm afraid he would have come here to show his demeanor.
The reason for the emergence of this unprecedented grandeur is really because Di Changli's current reputation in the Delman Empire is too high. Whether they think they are his enemies, allies or members of the center faction, they all feel that this historic victory has defeated the old enemy Monley Empire. Since the new god envoy, who has hidden the guardian god of the goddess of nature, has come to the imperial capital, it is undoubtedly a great pity if he does not see it at the first time.
I was lucky enough to witness this spectacular scene, and the citizens of the imperial capital were very excited to see so many noble bigwigs that they swore with tears in their eyes that this was definitely their happiest day.
In this regard, Bishop Brown, who followed Di Changli step by step, was extremely proud and raised his chest desperately so that his glorious image could be more prominent to facilitate the citizens of the imperial capital who cheered. At the same time, he praised the commander in his heart. No, he praised the vice marshal of the general. He never dreamed that he would have such a glorious moment.
After that, Bishop Brown was stunned.
Because when Marshal Fernando, the most noble general, led the crowd to drag out one person casually and stamped his feet to make the three shocks of the imperial capital, Di Changli suddenly made a behavior that shocked everyone's minds completely blank and completely fell into dementia.
