Chapter 156 "I Am Dorne" "I Am Vulkan"

The mage, who has white hair on his temples and appears to be in his sixties, is slowly walking towards the end of the hall.

Sarui is the full name of this mage.

He has no surname and no family, but he is also one of the most powerful mages in the entire Terraira.

No one knows his actual age and history, and no one knows how he obtained the extremely powerful magic.

The only thing that is certain is that it was with the assistance of Sarui that Alandi Otundil was able to eliminate dissidents and consolidate his power inside and outside the capital, and finally became the Minister of State today.

Come to the throne room.

Sarui walked to the front of the throne and bent down to salute, and calmly glanced at the body of the baron that was split into half.

"A bunch of useless guys!" Alandi threw a crystal ball the size of a tennis ball onto the carpet, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice:

"Three thousand city defense troops...three thousand! An army built with a lot of money can't defeat two children and a group of untouchables??"

Following Alandi's words, the crystal ball that fell on the carpet began to emit a burst of light, and quickly generated a suspended magic screen similar to holographic technology, showing everyone in the hall an overlooking view of the east side of the royal capital city. .

The screen was replayed from the moment when Aoi first fired the armor-piercing arrow, until Dorn split the baron vertically into two pieces and the city defense army completely collapsed and surrendered.

When the magic screen dissipated, Alandi immediately asked loudly: "Sarui, what on earth are those two children!"

"The son of the Human Emperor." Salui replied without hesitation.

“…”

Hearing this, although all the Imperial Guards present remained standing still, there was no way of knowing what they were thinking in their hearts.

After all, their job is to protect the royal family.

It stands to reason that this group of forbidden troops should respond to the call of Dorne and Vulkan and immediately draw their swords to kill Elendi who is sitting on the throne and wearing the crown.

But they were the confidants single-handedly promoted by Ellandi, so on the surface they all looked indifferent.

"The Human Emperor...the Human Emperor again...ahhhh!! Why?! I am the chosen one to unify the regime. Why can he gain the support of the untouchables as soon as he appears! Why?!"

Elendi seemed to be touched by a heartache. She could no longer bear her resentment and anger, and roared like crazy.

Seeing this, Salui waved his hand, first shattering and dispersing the Baron's body, then slowly stepped forward, his pupils flashed with a dark purple light, and said in a deep voice:

"The prophecy comes from the elves, and they are not qualified to interfere with our internal affairs as humans.

And you, my friend, you are the orthodox one, don’t be affected by the rumors outside. "

At the same time as he heard these words, Alandi's pupils also flashed with a dark purple light, and then he calmed down, nodded with a slightly dull face, and continued to ask:

"Yes, I am the orthodox one, so what should I do to curb the riots of the untouchables, and...how to kill those two bastards of the Human Emperor."

"It's very simple." Salui bent down and approached Ellandi, his tone deep:

"You only need to set up a magic circle and sacrifice the 600,000 untouchables living in the east of the city, and you will gain the favor of the gods. With his assistance, securing the throne and killing the bastards will be easy problems. "

"Sacrifice 600,000 untouchables?"

Alandi was stunned, and his eyes were no longer as dazed and dull as before. He immediately raised his vigilance and questioned:

"Sarui, what do you mean by this? Why do you say this? Who is your god?"

"My friend, what do you mean by me?" Sarui distanced himself again and spread his hands to show that he did not have the slightest malice:

"This is a very simple conversion. Just imagine, you only need to willingly sacrifice 600,000 untouchables to get the blessing of the gods.

As for God...hehe, He is omnipotent and omniscient. You see, my extremely powerful magic comes from the gift of God.

Therefore, with the power given by the gods, any force will no longer be your opponent. The elves and dwarves will once again bow to the capital...call you the king!

So my friend, what do you think I mean by this? "

"Be king...be king..."

Alandi, who had regained some sense, instantly fell into self-desire.

He stood up and paced back and forth in front of the throne several times. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he looked at the commander of the imperial army standing on his right and ordered:

"The entire imperial army immediately sealed off the east side of the royal capital and cooperated with Archmage Sarui to prepare a magic circle to eliminate all the untouchables once and for all!"

After receiving the order, the commander of the imperial army hesitated for two seconds, and the expression on his face under the helmet was extremely tangled, but he still bent down to salute and responded respectfully:

"yes."

Then, the commander led several of his men out of the hall.

"hehe."

At this moment, Elendi sat back on the throne, completely unaware of the hesitation and entanglement of his trusted commander, and said to himself:

"God...ah...I haven't heard this word for a long time."

"My friend, feel with your heart and listen carefully, you will find that God has already noticed your existence."

Salui was still using words to influence Elendi. At the same time, he turned around and looked through the closed solid wood door to make some kind of observation, and "saw" that things were going as he expected. After that development, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

…

And this side of the air corridor away from the throne room;

"Commander." A general of the Imperial Guard lowered his voice and sighed:

"I think the minister has been completely driven crazy by that wizard. He actually said that 600,000 civilians should be sacrificed to God? This... This is really unreasonable."

"God? I don't believe in God. I only believe in the spirit of chivalry."

"It's true that I look down on the untouchables, but I don't want to kill them indiscriminately."

Two more Imperial Guards echoed.

"I say, have you all forgotten that the dark forces of Moyiduo are still expanding in the south? So we can't make the same mistake again. We should kill that wizard."

"Yes, the dark forces are the common enemy."

"Commander, order the arrest of that wizard!"

Witnessing the Minister of State being bewitched by Sarui, the Imperial Guards were highly united in their opinions.

"Capture? What can we use to capture him?" The commander shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "That old thing can dismember us with a wave of his hand. In my opinion, only the Elf Queen Tinas Loslien can defeat that old thing."

"Are we going to give up just like that?"

"How do we know if we don't try?"

"There are two great wizards in the palace. We can try to form an alliance with them."

The subordinates wanted to fight to the death.

"Everyone, I have never said I would give up." The commander explained: "The words of the wizards are not credible. Who knows if they are also in cahoots with that guy Sarui?

So everyone, what we have to do is to cooperate with Sarui first, gather troops to surround and block the east of the capital, and secretly remind the sons of the human emperor, so that they can help us to kill Sarui together."

Son of the human emperor?

This time, the subordinates did not raise any objections.

Because the playback screen presented by the magic screen shows that the two sons of the human emperor have extremely strong physical physiques and combat skills, it must be effective against Sarui who relies on magic.

——

…

A few hours later.

The area where the capital is located is already in the dim dusk stage.

The city is under martial law by tens of thousands of imperial guards in golden armor. All residents are not allowed to leave the buildings at will, and the eastern district of the city is even more crowded.

In addition to the blockade of the imperial guards, the eastern district of the city is also shrouded and isolated by a looming magic barrier.

Looking down from the sky above the eastern district of the city.

It can be clearly seen that the residents mobilized by Dorne and Vulcan have used all the existing resources to build fortifications to control the key roads and confront the imperial guards who obey the Minister of State.

In the northernmost part of the eastern district of the city, there is a large central square, which is divided into two by a magic barrier.

Inside the barrier, there are the rebels led by Leiroya and the Honor Warriors.

Outside the barrier, there are the elite troops directly under the commander of the imperial guards, and Sarui, who is wearing a white robe and gesturing with his hands, seemingly preparing to sacrifice the magic circle.

And in the underground tunnel system outside the barrier...

"Dorn." Aoi stood in front of Dorn and gave quick persuasion:

"We cannot be sure of the credibility of the words of the commander of the imperial guards. If everything he said is a lie, then you and your brother Vulkan will be surrounded, which will seriously affect the direction of the prophecy."

In front of Aoi was Dorn carrying a giant sword, Vulkan holding a giant hammer, and Thorjan and Pietro Bomir who followed him here.

The reason why the five people appeared here was because they had been reminded by the commander of the imperial guards not long ago that the Minister of State was going to sacrifice 600,000 residents in the east of the city.

And the elite imperial guards responsible for conveying the information also made it clear that the archmage Sarui would perform the sacrifice ceremony in the central square, and at that time, the commander of the imperial guards would fully cooperate with them to stop the operation of the ceremony.

Therefore, before the magic barrier rose, the five of them went to the sewer outside the east block of the city to wait.

But the elite imperial guards responsible for conveying the message did not explain too much, nor did they try to prove the truth of the words. After saying these, they left directly.

In addition, Aoi's intuition told him that the capital was filled with ominous atmosphere, so he tried his best to persuade Dorn not to rush to the central square.

"Of course I know." However, Dorn's pace remained the same, and he soon passed by Aoi:

"But I can't accept that I have the opportunity to prevent the tragedy from happening, but I choose to continue to wait and see because of worry, suspicion, fear and other emotions, causing endless troubles.

Besides, my brother and I will never ignore the lives and safety of 600,000 humans, elves, dwarves and all innocent residents in order to fulfill the so-called prophecy."

"Yes." Vulcan echoed in a deep voice.

"If it were me, I couldn't bear to watch people die without helping them." So did Thorjan.

"..." Pietro nodded silently, indicating his position.

Seeing this, Aoi had to stop persuading and quickly followed Dorn and continued:

"I am not only focused on the prophecy, Dorn, what I want to say is that the central square is likely to be a trap.

After all, no one knows where the white-robed wizard Salui came from, and how he obtained such powerful magical power."

"Whether it is a trap or not, my brothers and I must personally deal with that trickster."

Dorn said, seeing that they had come to the entrance to the edge of the square, he turned to Aoi, Thoryang, and Pietro and said bluntly:

"I know my words are hurtful, but the front is beyond the scope of what the three friends can handle, and I don't want you to die here.

For safety reasons, please wait here... Also, my words are not exhortations or advice, but orders."

As he spoke, Dorn and Vulkan stepped onto the stairs and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"These two young boys!"

Thorjan was very unhappy, but he could do nothing about it, because everything Dorn said was true.

Even if their individual strength was strong, they still belonged to the category of "ordinary people" and could not be as fearless as the Primarch who was surrounded by hundreds or thousands of people.

"..." Aoi had a complicated expression, perhaps worried that the situation deviated from the prophecy, or perhaps worried about other things.

——

…

The eastern edge of the central square.

On the empty street, only Dorn and Vulkan were walking slowly.

The elite guards who were responsible for guarding the square and ensuring the normal conduct of the sacrificial ceremony had long noticed the movements of the Primarch brothers.

But as the commander of the guards said, the elite guards did not take any attack or blocking actions.

In this way, the two of them easily and openly "sneaked" into the central square, and under the silent gaze of the elite guards, they walked straight towards Sarui, who was casting spells wholeheartedly.

During this period, the commander of the guards, whose helmet was decorated with red mane, also used gestures to command his subordinates to act according to the situation.

At this moment.

Dorn, who was only ten meters away from Sarui, held the giant sword tightly, his eyes solemn, and then burst out with speed and strength close to the limit of his body, and rushed straight to Sarui's back.

Vulkan also charged with all his strength, and launched a surprise attack with his brother one after the other.

Sizzle-!

The Storm Sword easily split Sarui in two.

Bang-Puchi! !

The Frost Hammer even smashed the two halves of Sarui's body.

"Kill the wizard!"

Seeing this, the commander of the Imperial Guards immediately drew his sword and led his subordinates to gather around and prepare to help the two Primarchs completely eliminate the threat.

However...

"Hehe, two little kids, you don't think my real target is that group of untouchables, do you?"

Sarui's low laughter echoed over the square.

Boom-boom-!

Before everyone could react to what was happening, the commander of the Imperial Guards and all the elite were enveloped by a dark purple magic light and quickly burned from the inside out.

"Ah...!"

"No...!"

The scream of severe pain was gone in an instant, and the commander of the Imperial Guards and all the elite were burned to death by the purple flames.

Then, Dorn and Vulcan found that the space where the square was located began to twist and distort, and the original capital building gradually changed to a dark purple wilderness desert.

At the same time, extremely bewitching words appeared in their ears. They only heard;

"You are just political sacrifices of the Emperor..."

"If he really loves you, how could he let you be in danger?"

"Child... your brother is jealous of your command ability, kill him... kill him..."

"The Emperor has never paid attention to you from beginning to end, he hates you! Silly children, throw yourself into the arms of Morido, join a warm and carefree family, and let us conquer the Emperor together."

These fragmented whispers were repeated continuously, continuously impacting the minds of Dorne and Vulkan, but among the many whispers, two sentences quickly prevailed:

"I am Dorne, the son of my father, and the brother of Vulkan... my elder brother!"

"I am Vulkan, the son of my father, and the most loyal brother and best friend of Dorne!"

These two sentences seemed to be... the mumbling of the two brothers?
