Chapter 1331 Black Blade’s Disaster?
Malus Blackblade, who has been feeling terrible lately, is one of the few important legacies left by the Witch-King.
Kuran Blackhand, the right arm of the Witch King, Loxia Corrupted Heart, the leader of the God Blessed Evil Party, and Malus Blackblade, the Tyrant of Black Rock, are three of the few surviving Druchi leaders, each from Naggarond. , Carl Kalund and Hager Greif.
The Shadow King intended to break up the Druchi's behavior of dividing gathering areas into cities, but soon discovered that it was meaningless. As long as every Druchi showed their bloodthirsty and ruthless nature, they would soon be included in the group.
The result of breaking up is nothing more than making it more difficult to penetrate and control. One voice is always more beneficial than multiple voices.
Malus possesses the few remaining cold lizard fear knights of Druchi. These arrogant veterans are far more in line with the characteristics of Druchi than their new colleagues. They use poison to smear their bodies in exchange for strength, rather than riding at no cost. Take those inferior guys who have been transformed by the Temple of Ichi.
Logically speaking, Black Blade's life in Nagaryth is actually pretty good. Without Zakhan's influence, although his strength has declined a lot, his sophisticated methods and past prestige, coupled with the fact that the Phoenix King needs one person to control him Hagrid Grave's vast army.
Except for the lack of routine assassination of the Witch King and the lack of many interesting duels and bloody entertainment, Nagaryth is actually not much different from Black Rock.
For a hundred years, Malus has been consolidating his authority in Nagaryth, making the Phoenix King understand that the black blade still has important value.
The expedition commander discussed in the previous summit let Malus know that once he got through, as long as he went to the old world, what he wanted to do was beyond the control of the Phoenix King.
But now a piece of news leaked from the Dragon Palace makes Black Blade a little restless...
He was not afraid of the cowardly members of the Noble Council in Caledor, nor was he afraid of a Dragon Prince who lacked prestige and power, but behind those cowards were thousands of giant dragons and an even more terrifying Phoenix King.
A Druzi, covered in scars and with his face covered by a black helmet, approached the throne of the Dread Lord in a silent manner.
According to Druchi's custom, unfamiliar people must stay five meters away. This is the best way to prevent assassination.
And now this Druzi is only less than three meters away from Malus, which is enough to prove that he is deeply trusted by Black Blade.
"Who did it?"
Black Blade's tone was cold. He and Kuran deliberately protected a group of remnants of the Kane sect, believing that at a critical moment, these deadly killers could create some opportunities...
But this opportunity is not to use a bottle of useless black lotus to put into the Dragon Palace in order to poison a group of high-ranking officials who can cause an earthquake in Ulthuan.
The black-faced assassin shook his head, his tone as hoarse as a knife: "After strict interrogation, those who attempted to assassinate the Dragon Prince as a means of showing off quickly revealed the truth. Our intelligence network was unable to find the source of the bottle of black lotus."
Malus fell into deep thought and came up with a possibility: "A secret move that Malekith had arranged in Ulthuan?"
"There is a possibility that the evil spirit of the Witch King is still lingering in Druzi... The key now is that the royal court's attention has shifted to Nagaryth, and the Caledor Noble Council has also made some vague moves."
"It doesn't matter, the point is..."
"Prince Caledo has not issued any statement for the time being. It is not ruled out that he will choose to deal with it coldly in order to maintain control over Drucci."
While the lord and his staff were analyzing, a tall Druzi quickly came to the main hall without any notification.
Malus raised his hand and asked his staff to retreat into the shadows, and his expression returned to the calmness that controlled everything.
"Howell, what news do you bring."
"An order came from the royal court that the regent wants to see you, Malus."
Is it still inevitable... Malus clenched his fists, no matter what bad things happened, all the dirty water could be poured on Drucci!
We have obviously admitted defeat, but still!
Black Blade nodded slightly to show that he understood, and ordered Howell to go with him to Lothern, a city that was deeply feared by Druchi. Countless execution orders came from the sacred royal court, as well as the cold Phoenix King. .
On the fifth day after the assassination, after Lightspeed warned all those who knew about Caledor not to act without permission, the regent came to his loyal Lothern.
And arriving at the same time as him was Malus, who had death intentions.
In the eyes of Malus, it was impossible for Drachnir to stop the assassination so quickly. Imrik must have given instructions behind the scenes, and anyone suspicious would be executed immediately.
But it doesn't matter, as soon as the news of my death is returned to Nagaryth, a riot will begin immediately... Loxia will also understand that Imric's promise is just a joke, and he will not let us warmongers go.
Black Blade's gaze became more fierce, and Kane's Dimensional Sword was pressed tightly against the right side of the armor, as if he wanted to taste the blood in this glorious royal court.
Unexpectedly, Cohir did not ask Malus to disarm. The captain of the White Lion Guards just glanced at the two Druzi and led them forward without saying a word.
The regent did not receive Malus in the royal hall. It was still the same narrow office. When facing the two Druzi who came with murder weapons, there was no fear on his face.
Malus and Howell nodded slightly to greet the elf behind the desk, but their expressions did not show much respect.
"Your Highness the Regent."
Draconir nodded in response and motioned for Cohir to close the door. He wanted to talk to the two Druzi alone.
After the sound of the door closing tightly, there was a long silence. When Draknir stared at Malus, his eyes were calm and he seemed to be thinking about something.
With Malus's psychological quality, he would not be afraid of the gaze of a young prince. He returned the same gaze with a strong aura.
"This should be our first formal meeting, Malus Black Blade."
"If the battlefield is not formal, then it is the first formal meeting."
"Really." Draknir raised his eyebrows and spread his hands to invite the two to sit on the sofa next to him.
"I thought you would abandon your past identity and get to know me again."
"If that's the case, I wouldn't be here, Prince Caledor."
After Malus sat down, he held down Howell, who was trembling with Draknir's aura. This Asur boy was just exerting pressure, and his ancient temperament was full of the small office.
"Hehe, for our generation, this topic is too far away... It is not the responsibility of only one Phoenix King to completely end the division."
The regent stopped talking and chose to make some things clear: "You did not participate in the matter of the bottle of black lotus, am I right, Malus."
Malus narrowed his eyes and thought about how to respond. It is true that he looked down on this weak prince, but it does not mean that he really regarded Draknir as a person without means.
"What if I said I participated."
"Then I will kill you on the spot."
The killing intent in an instant made Malus subconsciously hold Cain's Dimension Sword, and his body tensed to resist.
But Draknir quickly regained his composure: "But you didn't. You are a smart person who knows how to endure. Even if you want to take advantage of the chaos to gain freedom, you won't do it at such a critical moment.
If I am found to have died from the black lotus, Druzil will be completely wiped out. This is not a good choice for you... When the Phoenix King always maintains a high degree of control over Ulthuan, you will not easily take action against the Dragon Court." (End of this chapter)
