Elite Mages’ Academy

The rebels have surrounded the capital city!

The moment Xiao Lin heard the news, Xiao Lin thought that Liang Taibai was joking with him, but the other party's bloodshot pupils and haggard anxious face made him understand that today is not April Fool's Day, and now is not the time to joke.

Xiao Lin got dressed as quickly as possible, and then followed Liang Taibai into the palace in a hurry.

"Didn't it mean that the rebels were still a month away from us during the day, and there were troops sent by the royal family to intercept them. How could they appear here now?"

"We are also working hard to investigate, but now is not the time to think about it." Liang Taibai sighed.

"How many troops are there in the capital?" Xiao Lin guessed something from Liang Taibai's expression.

"There are three thousand people left."

"Where are the rebels?"

"The details are not clear, but according to the rough estimate of the guards at the top of the city, the number is at least 20,000."

"Damn it!" Xiao Lin couldn't help but swear, even if defending the city is more beneficial than attacking the city, the difference in the number of people is too big.

Liang Taibai strode forward while continuing to tell even worse news: "The 3,000 people defending the city are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, because the main force was sent by the king to intercept the rebels not long ago. What exactly did they do, you know, they just left for a few days!" Even Liang Taibai, who was always gentle and polite, couldn't help cursing angrily, speaking with contempt for the combat effectiveness of the Principality's army.

Xiao Lin was slightly taken aback, then fell silent thoughtfully.

A quarter of an hour later, the two had already arrived at the palace directly. Although the capital had been under curfew for a long time, under the privilege of the special pass of the embassy of Shuguang College, the road was unimpeded, not to mention blocking, no one even dared to interrogate.

In the magnificent palace, Xiao Lin saw the king of the principality. Although the previous escort list included almost all of the king's children, the king himself was the only one excluded.

Originally, according to the military's plan, as a sign of sincerity in negotiating with the rebels, this unlucky king had just voted for a certificate, and Xiao Lin had heard from Liang Taibai that many senior officials of Shuguang College were dissatisfied with this king, not only Because Qiangwei's civil strife caused a lot of extra troubles to Shuguang College, and the relationship between Qiangwei and Shuguang has not been very good these years. Even when Shuguang proposed to build more resurrection towers in Qiangwei's territory two years ago, the king even The prevarication was also rejected.

Obviously, even without this incident, it would be difficult for Dawn Academy to tolerate this guy continuing to sit on the throne of the king, and this is the first time Xiao Lin saw this king who dared to oppose Dawn Academy after he came to the capital. Before the escort departed, they bypassed the king directly.

The king's sideburns were gray and his beard was sparse, and he looked very old, but in fact Xiao Lin knew from information that the king was only in his forties. He wears a crown on formal occasions, but it is not very luxurious. There are only eight rose-shaped red diamonds inlaid on the crown.

Inside the palace is a huge round table. The ministers sit near the round table, while the king sits high on the front steps overlooking the crowd. Of course, as the ambassadors of Shuguang Academy, Xiao Lin and Liang Taibai do not need to sit and be overlooked Instead, two additional stools were set up next to the throne, which were considered equal to the king.

Since the intensification of the civil strife, the ministers of the royal capital have been running and hiding a lot. Up to now, there are only seven or eight people in this palace. They are all waiting, but they are somewhat surprised by Xiao Lin's arrival. , but for them, what they need is a representative of Dawn Academy, and it doesn't matter who they are.

After Xiao Lin and Liang Taibai sat down, the temporary meeting officially started. First, a man who looked like a general in full armor stood up and reported the current situation.

"Shortly after nightfall, the automatic sentry tower at the East City Gate moved. Of course, the soldiers in charge of guarding the city thought something was wrong.

I went directly to check, and then there was a brief conflict... I happened to be nearby at the time, and then I found something was wrong. I turned on the searchlight funded by the Dawn Academy before, and then found that a large army was approaching, and it had basically formed an encirclement..."

Liang Taibai immediately asked questions, asking for a lot of information in detail, such as the number of enemies and their forces, including formations and equipment, etc., but because it was too hasty, the general didn't have much information, so he ran back immediately in shock Report this matter first and wait for the king's decision.

"It must be the rebels, don't think too much about it!" Some people were a little dissatisfied with Liang Taibai's doubts, but they couldn't express their emotions too clearly, so they turned to the king and said anxiously: "Your Highness, before the enemy has not yet Complete encirclement, plus the cover of night, please immediately organize troops to attack!"

"Yes! Please leave immediately! Only Your Highness must not be caught, otherwise our Qiangwei will have no future!"

"Your Highness, please leave immediately! There is almost no defensive force in the capital now, as long as we break out and join the army sent two days ago, we still have a chance!"

The ministers spoke earnestly, and they were all trying to persuade the king immediately, and they would cast an angry look at Liang Taibai as they spoke. Of course, they also knew that Shuguang College deliberately removed the king from the escort list, just to let him The king is dead.

The king waved his hand slightly to signal the ministers to be quiet, then turned his head to look at Liang Taibai, and asked slowly: "I wonder if you two have any suggestions and opinions on this?"

The king's old face was very calm, and he didn't panic at all because of the siege. He didn't know if he was pretending to be calm, or because he knew that he would die as an outcast of Dawn Academy, so he gave up on himself.

Xiao Lin secretly speculated, but no matter what the reason was, he definitely did not have any good impression of the king he met for the first time. This has nothing to do with Dawn Academy, this Principality, and the poor and hungry people in the Principality. It doesn't matter, just because the man sitting on the throne is Ibeya's biological grandfather!

Although Ibeya, a cute little loli, speaks true and false words, making it difficult to distinguish, but in terms of her life experience, Ibeya basically has no lies. It has been confirmed in various quiet investigations.

Ibeya is indeed a hybrid of humans and vampires. Her biological mother is the eldest princess of the Rose Principality, who is the daughter of the king in front of her. So Ibeya is naturally his granddaughter.

But Ibeya's childhood was very tragic. The blood of the Santa Croce family in her body made her doomed to go hand in hand with danger. His father was hunted to death because of this, and the Rose royal family never recognized her. After giving birth to Ibeya, the princess lost too much blood and died, and Ibeya lived with his uncle, that is, the old man. (To be continued.) Ps: Book friends, I am the cabbage of the end.
