Chapter 470 The Death of Victor (Please Vote for Me!)
Gilad Illrus was sent to the Scar of the Holy Sword by His Majesty Victor a few years ago to receive training in the army.
But those who are truly informed understand that this is to keep him away from the political whirlpool of Alexis, to provide him with a kind of protection, and at the same time, it also allows him to control the extremely powerful Third Army. When he returns, it will be the day he receives the crown.
Prince Gilad has not appeared in public in Alyinx for a long time, and people are more familiar with the kind-hearted Princess Alleria.
Suddenly hearing that Prince Gilad was about to return to the royal capital, the people of Alyinx became excited.
"Have you heard? Prince Gilad is coming back!"
"Didn't he say that he has entered the territory of Yalinks and will enter the city soon? But why didn't he see the welcome ceremony?"
"It is said that he suddenly decided to come back without any notice before."
"Wait! Do you still remember the gossip from before?"
"You mean... Tang En is His Majesty's illegitimate son?"
"Don't you think this matter is closely related to the gossip?"
"When you say that, it's very possible!"
"Of course. Originally, Princess Alleria had renounced her right to inherit the crown, and now a potential competitor suddenly appeared. Who wouldn't be anxious? Are you in no hurry to let it fall on you? "
"Of course I'm not in a hurry. It's enough to give me royal status and let me enjoy life..."
"Could it be that His Majesty Victor suddenly fell seriously ill and knew that he didn't have much time left, so he summoned him to the royal capital to announce his inheritance?"
"Isn't this possibility too small? Didn't His Majesty Victor appear during the Glory Festival a while ago? He is so healthy. I haven't heard any special news from the palace recently."
"Maybe it involves royal secrets... Anyway, I still feel it's a bit strange that Prince Gilad suddenly came back."
Just overnight, almost all the streets in Alexis were discussing Prince Gilad, and the conversation in the tavern was completely dominated by this news.
Many people were eating hot pot and drinking wine, discussing with each other the purpose of Prince Gilad's return to Yalinks. However, when no one knew it, Prince Gilad had passed the secret The channel entered the palace.
"I haven't been back for several years...it still hasn't changed at all."
Touching the cold wall, a trace of nostalgia flashed across Gilad's face.
Next to Gilad, a man covered in a cloak chuckled and said, "Your Highness, I think now is not the time to remember the past. We should go see His Majesty Victor."
Gilad's eyes were dull for a moment, and then his eyes gradually became firm: "...You are right, Marcus, now is not the time to waste time, let's go."
In the study, Victor looked at the various news coming from his subordinates and smiled bitterly. He shook his head and murmured to himself: "My son... why are you so reckless... If you come back at this time, wouldn't you let people outside I believe that ridiculous statement even more..."
Victor was quite upset. Everything was obviously going well, but now everything was out of control because of this inexplicable rumor.
After the beast wave, Ellington was attacked by Fort Casparmi. If it was said that this was not under the command of the Qadir family, no one would believe it!
While Tang En was being restrained, Gilad hurriedly returned to Alexis. Behind all of this, there was the shadow of the Kadir family... and even the actions of the Spader family!
"They... finally couldn't sit still?"
Victor sighed and said to the empty corner beside him: "Master Clark, you will protect me, right?"
He had an ominous premonition in his heart that the Qadir family might have made the final decision to commit treason, and in order to achieve their goal, they might come to assassinate him.
"The City of Silver does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Prince Gilad's request for inheritance rights is not within the scope of our interference."
After a pause, the invisible Clark added: "But if you are assassinated, I will protect you."
Victor breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, this makes me feel more at ease."
Gene's disciple, Clark is a very powerful extraordinary magician. He is well-known in the Silver City for his expertise in arcane arts. With his protection, it is impossible for ordinary assassins to approach Victor.
"The prince is here."
As soon as Clark finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside: "No, Your Highness, you cannot go in without notification!"
"How presumptuous! But since I haven't come back for a few years, don't you think you'll take me as a prince seriously anymore!?"
With a "bang" sound, Gilad pushed open the study door and saw Victor sitting inside.
"Father."
"You guys go down."
Victor dismissed the guards, and then looked at Gilad with a complicated face: "Why did you choose to come back at this time? You should understand what impact coming back at this time will have."
Gilad strode forward and said loudly: "Father, if you don't want me to come back at this time, you should give me a reason to rest assured. However, from the letter you gave me, I didn't see that you Instead of expecting me, I am full of trust and expectation for that Tang En, which makes me have to wonder whether his surname is really Illrus."
"Ridiculous! How could I have an illegitimate child!"
Victor frowned and scolded: "It's just those people outside, how come you are also affected by such rumors? Gilad, my son, your heart is already messed up!"
“A rumor ceases to be a rumor when a hundred people believe it.”
Gilad said solemnly: "If you want me to return to the Scar of the Holy Sword, then establish the crown prince now."
Victor said patiently: "Don't be in a hurry to establish the crown prince. You are still too young. My crown belongs to you after all. Be patient. You need to be patient. My son! You have inherited the name of our greatest ancestor. You are destined to bring glory to this country!—Who is he?”
Victor noticed the cloaked man next to Gilad.
Marcus lifted his cloak and curtsied: "Salute to you, my lord, I am Marcus, the chief staff officer of His Highness the Prince."
"Staff? Is this how you assist Gilad?"
Victor scolded him mercilessly: "You won't stop him from this stupid behavior?"
"No, in fact, this is what I suggested to His Highness the Prince."
"What!?"
Victor was shocked: "Girard, you just followed this idiot's advice!?"
"Father, Marcus is not an idiot."
Gilad said coldly: "He can help me get everything!"
Victor was angry: "Everything? Including this kingdom?"
"Including this kingdom, Marcus, do it."
"As you wish, Your Highness the Prince..."
Marcus's eyes suddenly flashed with a deep light. As soon as Victor saw his eyes, strange power immediately tried to invade his mind, but was suddenly stopped by a barrier in Victor's sea of consciousness!
"Cultists dare to be so bold!"
There was a sudden sound of anger in the void. Master Clark completed the preparations for the spell almost instantly. The ferocious arcane energy gathered around Marcus and then exploded!
The arcane energy caused a terrible explosion in the narrow study. Almost instantly, the entire study was destroyed, and all the precious books were turned into ashes in the explosion of arcane energy!
"An extraordinary magician... dares to attack the great Marcus?"
Marcus stopped invading Victor's consciousness, and his extremely keen spirit immediately locked onto the location of Master Clark: "Get out and die!"
Master Clark groaned and was forced out of the invisible state. He tried to counter Marcus's strange spell, but was horrified to find that there was no trace of the opponent's spell casting process, and his huge willpower was devouring it crazily. Holding his soul!
"It's - damn - you're -"
Master Clark's brain turned into a ball of paste. He couldn't even complete the spell. He covered his head tightly and looked at Marcus in horror: "Snake! The snake is eating my brain - ah - Snakes—there are snakes everywhere—"
"Rest in peace, idiots of the City of Silver..."
Marcus Jiejie smiled. Marcus's eyes suddenly bulged, and the whites of his eyes were filled with blood. Just a moment later, an extremely powerful extraordinary magician died suddenly.
"Master Clark!"
Victor shouted sharply: "Girard! Who is he!?"
"He is not a human being," Gilad said calmly after a pause, "He is a messenger of God."
Messenger of God?
Victor subconsciously thought of Tang En, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Fart! There is only one divine envoy, but it's not him!"
"Marcus?"
Marcus smiled sinisterly and said: "Your Highness, there is a protective barrier in your father's consciousness. I am afraid that there is a strong person guarding him. I cannot break through this barrier without alarming the other party."
"It's so troublesome... I'm sorry, Father, I'm afraid I can't save your life."
Gilad pulled out a long sword filled with elemental light. He, who had turned completely black, walked up to Victor without hesitation and stabbed him with the sword!
There was a sudden "crackling" in the messy study. All the rings on Victor's fingers exploded into dust, and the amulet on his chest also exploded. Gilad's sword defeated at least four or five legendary level ones. Magic talisman for defense!
"my son……"
Victor watched the sword inherited from his ancestors defeat the layers of defenses. In addition to despair, he felt even more heartache: "Why is this happening..."
He knew that Gilad's strength far exceeded his own. Even the powerful Master Clark was killed by Marcus. He knew that he could not escape.
The ominous premonition finally became a reality.
"because."
Gilad pushed the sword unswervingly and slowly pierced Victor's chest, blood gurgled out, and he said: "The Lord God is supreme... He will give me everything! This country... and eternal life!"
"What a...stupid...idea..."
Victor closed his eyes reluctantly.
Queen Olena, who came in a hurry, saw the scene in the study and suddenly exclaimed: "Victor!!! Gilad!?"
"Take mother and go down."
Gilad wiped his hands and said calmly: "From today on, I am the king."
"I have the final say in the Illrus Empire."
Ellington, Tang En waved his hand and a ball of transparent flame purified the rich power of death and chaos. His face suddenly changed and he looked in the direction of Alex.
The magic mark on Victor's body disappeared!
At this time, a hoarse roar suddenly came from above the city wall - "Father!!!"
