Great Nobleman

Under the frightened gaze of many palace guards.

The two bright light balls flew at extremely high speeds. When they approached the castle to a certain distance, they were blocked by an invisible barrier that suddenly appeared.

next moment.

The blazing light once again drives away the darkness of this land!

The extremely flaming aura also exploded towards the surroundings!

And wait for this to subside.

Brand discovered somewhat unexpectedly:

Although the barrier surrounding the white castle in the distance is very turbulent.

But his two sublime level dazzling wind bombs were indeed resisted!

Before he could think about it, several more sentry towers attacked their position.

After Catherine blocked these attacks and the elemental dust gradually dissipated.

Brand discovered that the other party's arrangement had changed:

Many palace guards are retreating away!

At the same time, a wave of magic power began to appear on the tall sentry tower at the top of the main building of the castle in the distance.

It was not obvious at first, but as time passed, this magic wave was getting stronger and stronger.

——This should be preparing some kind of powerful attack!

After noticing this situation.

Brand quickly gathered the wind elemental magic force field, and then injected magic power into the bracelet on his wrist.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible barrier like a water curtain enveloped him and Catherine.

Before the other party was ready to finish, they disappeared from everyone's sight and perception!

Because the target disappeared, the guards who controlled the castle's tower weapons had no choice but to temporarily stop charging the weapons.

The fluctuations in magic power also quickly calmed down.

…

Just before the thick wall outside Cardan's palace was attacked by Brand.

The old king of Cardan Kingdom, Ariel Maddox, was reviewing government affairs in the council hall of the palace.

Although the current chaotic situation in the Cardan Kingdom was caused by him.

But this is also a bitter and helpless choice.

The obvious situation is:

This internal strife and chaos will inevitably cause the national power of the Cardan Kingdom to decline significantly.

They need to rest and recuperate for many years before they can recover.

But even so, he had his reasons for doing so.

——The Bruns Empire above them is being targeted by an enemy of the same level, and their Cardan Kingdom has been involved!

With the top forces of the Human Alliance fighting each other, the Cardan royal family can only be regarded as a small boat in this huge storm.

If you are not careful, you will be completely overturned!

So nothing allowed him to have any more hesitation.

And even though he was prepared to pay such a price to confuse the situation.

But this plan is still hindered!

Looking at the information delivered by the Alliance in his hand.

Looking at the force named "Golden Opera House" highlighted on the intelligence.

Ariel couldn't help but frown.

——The rise of this force is too fast and too smooth!

After thinking for a while, Ariel finally decided to ignore this organization with an unknown background and continue the plan in another way.

Whether the Alliance will be exposed is still unknown.

Even if it has indeed been exposed, the Cardin royal family still has other secrets at its disposal.

Not to mention that these anti-royal civilian forces are easily induced.

In fact, the nobles are not monolithic.

The chaos during this period has made many nobles want to seek refuge with the royal family.

I believe that as long as the chaos is allowed to continue and be further strengthened.

More other nobles who feel the pressure will probably stand with their royal family!

After all, the civilians were targeting the entire wealthy and powerful class of Cardan Palace.

In this matter, Cardan's many nobles and the royal family are natural allies!

Just when Ariel was straightening things out, he took out a list and started to make the next plan.

Blazing white light projected from the window.

The ground suddenly began to tremble.

The guards of the Council Hall immediately entered a fighting stance, guarding the door of the Council Hall and the king.

Realizing this change, King Ariel quickly took out a crystal ball that could connect to the palace's magic circle.

After successfully connecting to the Kingdom's magic circle, he began to observe the current situation.

Among his observations:

The gates and barriers outside the palace were destroyed by a violent spell.

It was obvious: someone was attacking the palace.

After carefully observing the palace guards inside and around the castle, who were setting up defenses in an orderly manner.

The king collected the information in front of him, held the crystal ball in his hand, and, surrounded by his guards, stood up and walked towards his bedroom.

——His armor and weapons are stored there!

Having owned many inheritances from the Cardan Kingdom for so many years, he is not a mediocre person.

In addition, a frontal assault on Cardan's palace was obviously a foolish move.

Ariel is more inclined to think that there is someone lurking "inside", and both parties are cooperating to assassinate him, the king.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this may be to achieve some other purpose.

Think and move forward.

The darkness beyond the windowsill of the corridor was suddenly briefly expelled once again by the rays of the sun.

This time Ariel saw it clearly:

Two blazing white light balls hit the sentry tower near the gate area of ​​the outer wall.

Under the terrifying scorching heat, the two guard towers outside the castle turned into nothingness.

——This is a magic attack at the magister level!

At this time, through the window sill of the corridor.

Ariel's eyes focused on the scene in the distance.

——Two men in black robes were walking leisurely, walking out of the elemental dust area caused by the magic crossbow.

Without waiting for him to observe more.

Two bright balls of light shining with dazzling light shot towards the direction of the castle.

Saw this scene.

Ariel withdrew his gaze with disdain, and then continued walking in the direction of the dormitory.

Although the magister's sublimation spell is very powerful, the defense of this castle is not simple.

Not to mention that the materials used to build this castle are not on the same level as those randomly built sentry towers outside.

It is not easy for the opponent to really hit the castle!

The next moment was not unexpected:

The barrier guarding the Kadan Palace blocked these two sublimation spells.

After a burst of blazing light and another violent tremor on the ground, everything quickly calmed down.

——The castle's defensive barrier is safe and sound!

Although Kadan is only a mid-level human kingdom, it is not comparable to those empires at the top of the Human Alliance.

But after all, the Cardan royal family is also the largest powerful person in the kingdom, and they are also on good terms with the Bruns Empire.

After so many years of accumulation, they still have a lot of good stuff.

Under their continuous renovation, the defense of this castle is completely comparable to that of the noble castles of the Bruns Empire.

It was precisely because of this that Ariel thought that the opponent was not really planning to attack the palace from the front.

All the way to the dormitory, while putting on the armor with the help of the attendants.

Ariel is also connected to the palace's magic circle, and is always vigilant about the various movements of many people inside the castle.

At present, the people who attract attention outside have temporarily "retired".

So now it's time for the mole to take action.

——You want to break the formation protecting the palace first? Or directly assassinate him as the king? Or do both together?

Thinking of this, Ariel looked at the attendants beside him and the guards outside the dormitory.

After confirming that these people were all familiar faces who had signed a death contract with him and could not betray him.

Ariel realized that the opponent's target should be the palace's defensive formation.

Following this line of thinking, Ariel held the crystal ball in his hand and began to check the situation around the palace formation.

What surprised him was:

There was no one around the palace formation, and no one showed any signs of approaching it.

Just when Ariel was a little puzzled, the darkness outside the window was once again driven away by a bright light.

Because this time the area covered by the light was unexpectedly wide.

Ariel couldn't help but focus his attention outside the castle.

——I saw more than a dozen bright light balls scattered all around the castle, flying towards the castle.

In Ariel's shocked look.

They hit the defensive formation guarding the palace at the same moment!
