    "The falcon has left its nest." A guard hurried into the tower and said to the other five guards who were waiting in the tower.  The five people nodded, with determination in their eyes. They prepared the only dragon-killing crossbow. This kind of weapon was originally not allowed to be owned by private individuals. Even the Duke should not dream of getting one.  But just a week ago, a well-trained Coorg eagle carrying a dragon-killing crossbow landed in the square of Krislin Manor.  The Coorg Eagle is the national-level reserve force of the Atak Empire. At that time, the guards speculated who was interested in extending an olive branch to the Krislin family.

    Now, when the guards knew the entire action plan, they were no longer surprised. They also knew the mastermind of the conspiracy.  Facing the targets under the tower, the guards were determined to kill them one by one.  They have lost all retreat. If they advance, they may be killed. If they retreat, they will definitely die.  Duke Krislin had already secretly executed a group of guards who were unwilling to join the plan and complained in the past few days.  These included the personal bodyguard who had been protecting the Duke himself for several years.

    The Duke's methods made the guards feel unprecedented pressure. They could only do their jobs well.  Each high tower means a shooting stronghold. Now, there are at least five archers stationed in each high tower.  Among them, the young ones are in a state of excitement and their fingers on the strings are trembling, while the older ones are mourning the journey after tonight in their hearts.

    It is very likely that he died inexplicably from being trampled by horse hooves or stabbed to death with a dagger while walking.  After a plan like this succeeds, everyone who participated will often be purged; after it fails, their fate is, at best, hanging.

    ¡­This is a plot to kill the prince.

    Before Duke Krislin fell ill, he used all his means to build an elite infantry force, covertly and covertly, and recruited family knights that were far larger than those of other dukes.  When the news reached Duke Crislin, the Duke, who was already seriously ill, wrote decisively to his other brothers and sisters, asking them to send as many soldiers as possible.

    With such huge power, Duke Krislin saw no reason for this plan to fail.  The leader of this plan is his energetic son Claudette Crislin.  He is very talented. With the strength of his family and his own abilities, he obtained the position of commander of the "Zealous" Legion. During his reign, he worked diligently and defeated the Megtz Empire's troops many times on the border with his own strength.  , rarely fails.

    However, as the strength of the old family deteriorated and the aristocratic forces were reshuffled, Claudette's position could not last long.  Taking advantage of the "Lodan Gap" incident, he was quickly squeezed out and replaced by his deputy, an old soldier who was loyal to the royal family.  It was obvious that the power that the Christian family had cultivated in the military over the years would soon be eradicated.

    "We need the help of the eldest prince, I'm sorry, brother." Claudette sighed and returned to the banquet.  Hadawa promised that as long as Ralof is killed, once Hadawa ascends the throne, the Castin family and the Mork family will be finished.  The Krislin family will become the most powerful force after the royal family.

    Claudette does not expect to become a force "second only to the royal family". He believes that he and his family can consolidate their current power.

    ¡°The falcon has left the nest,¡± this secret order spread throughout the Christian mansion.  Three hundred guards, more than seventy archers, one hundred family knights, four hundred elite infantry, and more than two hundred and twenty other soldiers were all ready.

    It was late at night and everyone was drowsy or simply fell asleep.  Raloff and his fifty personal guards rested on chairs, alert to the surrounding disturbances.  He's been so nervous lately that he can't sleep at all.  Of course, the other guards would not go to sleep by themselves, putting the prince in danger, and chose to stay with the second prince.

    Leer and others have fallen asleep, and only Carngale and Roland are still awake. The former has no habit of sleeping and is tireless, while the latter likes to read religious texts in the quiet night.

    Some of the mercenaries slept, some did not.  People in Ailaide live a regular life, so they don't stay up late.  The Germans were careless, so they fell asleep without any worries.

    The Leitening mercenaries, Morphian mercenaries and orc mercenaries were only partially asleep.  Some of the remaining people picked up wine bottles and table knives and were still enjoying the food and wine.  The things provided by the Krislin family were so good. Even the chairs they sat on were covered with cotton from Bruce City, and the maids who accompanied the dancers were all beautiful and coquettish elves.  Although the dance program ended long ago, it did not prevent others from recalling the long tulle dresses they threw into the banquet when they exited the stage.

    Rarov has no intention of caring about girls. He has a beautiful and virtuous fianc¨¦e, which is one of the reasons. However, at present, he needs to worry about the constant attacks on Hadawa.  While he was fighting vampires, Hadawa was contacting the nobles;While he was fighting the spider, Hadawa was laying out his plan.  Rarov's own intelligence network had been cleared out long ago.  In a short period of time, it would be impossible for him to build his own intelligence network and detect Hadawa's movements.  Among his own trusted aristocrats, those who were the most determined, persistent and influential were quietly defeated in his absence.

    It can be said that due to wasting too much time, Larov's power has been limited to the personal guards he currently controls, as well as Lier and others, plus a group of mercenaries whose loyalty cannot be guaranteed.  Other nobles are well aware of Larov's current weakness, so more and more people are turning to Hadawa's side, and domestic forces are also leaning more towards the eldest prince.

    The most obvious part is the numerous murderous intentions laid by the eldest prince.  The soldiers entering the city had undoubtedly been bribed by Hadawa, and then the soldiers in black obviously wanted to kill him.  Hadava took advantage of Larov's mysterious disappearance and prepared a series of plans, hoping to completely defeat Larov before he regained his strength.

    It¡¯s worth thinking about.  So Larov put forward the advantages on his side. First of all, the generalissimo is relatively close to him, at least Larov will not be crushed by the regular army; secondly, Leer, Bert, Jesdan, Roland, and Ka  Engel, Vader, Shiro, Bastanay, Delante They are all people with outstanding combat capabilities. They can protect Larov's safety and at the same time ensure their loyalty; and then, how many sacrifices Spider will make  The bag of gems is enough for him to spend money to defeat an army of thousands of people. Hadawa must not be able to defeat an army yet; finally, he is now in Krislin Castle, very safe.

    In history, there are many examples of the use of force to obtain the throne, and princes who use this method have a strong and smooth rule after ascending the throne.  Their brothers were defeated and killed by the army, the history books were tampered with by the victors, and the voices of opposition weakened to an insignificant level over time, which all proved that it was an effective method.

    But this takes time

    Claudette walked over slowly at this time, not covering up the sound of his footsteps.  Ralof turned around and nodded to greet him.  The future leader of the Krislin family slowly sat next to him and handed over a bottle of wine.

    "Fifty-seven years, the same age as my father." Claudette said with a smile, "'Sword and Shield'."

    "'Sword and Shield'." Larov looked at the exquisite logo on the bottle, "it is indeed the most precious wine in the Atak Empire. Thank you for your hospitality." He understood how expensive and delicious this wine was, so  No more hesitation, pull out the cork from the bottle and taste the beautiful taste of this wine. It is like being in the aurora, like a rainbow flashing across your eyes.

    "The Crislin family." Claudette sighed deeply, "As you can see." He pointed to the flag at the top of the tower, which was already dilapidated. "It is about to enter destruction Alas, this is impossible.  Avoided."

    Rarov remained silent.

    He understands that the Krislin family now needs to retreat behind the scenes and hand over power to others.  In this way, they can at least continue their glory for several generations.  Otherwise, all people with the surname "Krislin" will be purged in the political struggle.

    The rise of the Mork family and the Castin family was simply accidental. Originally, the Haianfas family occupied a good position and could help the Krislin family sit firmly.  But when it was defeated by the "Meggets War Eagle" Corilsa Flas on a rainy night, the Mork family immediately sprang up.  It has transformed from a slightly better copper mining family into a group with a force that cannot be ignored, and it cooperates with the Castin family to eat away at the power of the Krislin family.

    "A knight family like yours should not be annihilated." Larov said in a low voice, "It should be immortal."

    "Thank you for your compliment." Claudette observed Larov, "Is the wine still acceptable?"

    "Very good." Ralof said, he felt like the things in front of him had a double image, "I feel drunk so quickly."

    "Of course, of course." Claudette stood up, "On the continent of Europa, the unique fruit of the Alps is enough to make an elephant sleep for two weeks. I think, even if you have the Atak Emperor Sword  It¡¯s difficult to protect one¡¯s body.¡±

    "" Larov raised his head and looked directly at Claudette, "So you were also sent by Hadawa."

    "He promised us glory and glory, I'm sorry, His Highness the Second Prince." Claudette raised his sword.

    From the seven surrounding towers, dozens of sharp arrows were shot at the people sleeping in the banquet, killing several people in an instant.  Fifty old guards rose up, some of them protected Larov, and some of them tried their best to break out.  The Leitening mercenaries suddenly broke out, and they began to attack their own people.  And Morphia hiredThe soldiers also began to fight with Larov's personal guards with javelins and swords.  The orcs wielded weapons ranging from large to dexterous, striking at their companions who had fought together during the day.

    This night is destined to be restless.
