Chapter 1079 With absolute military force, is a sweep operation still difficult?
The seventh offering was temporarily unable to deal with Weikang.
Although this guy is big and fat, he is quite quick-witted.
"You should explain these things to Her Highness yourself. According to the law, a prince who commits a crime must go to the Imperial Clan Court to await punishment."
Viktor narrowed his eyes again and shouted sharply, "It seems you're determined to capture me today! What crime have I committed? These soul tools are merely for my research and analysis, and for improving the equipment of the guards! You keep slandering me!"
"Does the law stipulate that one cannot purchase soul tools for research? Does it restrict princes from researching soul tools?"
"Is it a crime simply because I, the prince, have money and bought a little more?"
The Seventh Offering glanced around the room and slowly raised his hand.
The soul-guided cannons that were aimed at the gate of the Weikang Mansion suddenly turned their attention to the titled Douluo.
In an instant, these titled Douluo felt unprecedented pressure.
Those dark, ominous cannon muzzles exuded a chilling and terrifying aura.
This made them wonder if they could really withstand the bombardment of these soul-guided cannons.
Viktor's eyes widened instantly, and the fat on his face trembled slightly, whether from fear or anger.
"Zhao Wei! How dare you! You dare point a weapon at a prince! Do you know what crime that is?!"
Vicon immediately activated the soul-guided shield hidden inside his clothes.
The seventh honorific, Zhao Wei, grinned, a hint of ferocity flashing across his wrinkled face.
"The Imperial City, with a princess as regent! How dare the eldest princess take it all! Fire!"
"Attack! They're not going to let us go today!"
The titled Douluos behind Wei Kang gritted their teeth and rushed forward.
Zhao Wei wasn't going to tolerate it. His purpose in coming today was to make an example of someone and deter others from wrongdoing.
The number of soul-guided cannons he brought was far greater than that of the other two elders, a total of fifteen soul-guided cannons, five of which were hidden in other locations, aimed at Viktor's mansion.
"Blood Axe" Zhao Wei is one of the honored figures of the Heavenly Soul Empire. He earned this title through sheer battle prowess.
Although he entered the Title Douluo realm relatively late and his cultivation level was not high, he made a name for himself by combining his killing intent with his martial soul, and he was even able to fight the Sixth Elder for about three hundred rounds.
With the artillery barrage over, Viktor immediately ran back to his residence and erected a soul-guided defensive barrier.
The noble families of the Heavenly Soul Empire are not very bright; they only care about money. But he is different. If he has a good soul tool, he will keep one for himself first, just like this joint soul tool defense array that covers most of the mansion.
The guards couldn't defeat so many Title Douluos, but their defenses were quite thick, so they could escape for a while.
Zhao Wei managed to stop three Title Douluos, but he couldn't stop the rest.
A firework exploded in the air, followed by the roar of a soul-guided cannon.
Faced with that soul-guided cannon, these titled Douluo dared not take it head-on.
However, they were equally unable to stop the massive number of soul-guided shells raining down on the Vicon mansion.
Viktor immediately went into his main courtyard, where he had prepared a secret passage in advance.
"Inform them to immediately begin war with Vina!"
"This prince cannot die here!"
While cursing, Vicon packed up some important storage soul tools, which he had prepared during his fight with Vina.
This was so that it would be convenient to start a war or evacuate at any time.
Unfortunately, today he belongs to the latter category.
He just couldn't understand why Vina dared to directly start a war with the three of them.
Isn't she afraid that the noble families behind her will directly disrupt Tian Dou City?
Moreover, the powerful and influential families have deep roots in the city, and their influence extends far beyond just Tiandou City!
More than two-thirds of the cities in the Heavenly Soul Empire are controlled by aristocratic families!
Under the protection of several guards, Viktor hurriedly entered the secret passage.
"Damn Vina! I don't know what's so good about that bitch! The emperor always has his eye on her! That emperor is so incompetent! He actually wants a woman to sit on the throne!"
Wei Kang's mouth was like a machine gun, constantly cursing.
He was venting his anger, completely unaware that several assassins behind him were staring at him, their eyes gradually turning ferocious.
The Tang Clan's development in Tian Dou City was seen by the aristocratic families as being subservient to Princess Vina, but some who were very close to the throne knew that Princess Vina and the Tang Clan were cooperating.
In reality, the cooperation between the Tang Clan and Princess Vina was only the surface-level outcome.
Ye Nanxiao's collaboration with Vina also included a team of mercenary hunters.
Vina had made this choice when she wanted to protect the life of the Heavenly Soul Emperor.
Since then, Ye Nanxiao has gathered a team of hunters from the vicinity.
It took a lot of effort to replace the identities of several assassins.
They only had one chance to act, so they never leaked any information to the outside world.
The time spent among a group of assassins was too short for these two hunter teams to even get a foothold in the operation.
However, in this hasty retreat, most of the assassins were released, and they happened to be guarding the house.
Because it requires sacrifices for Weikang, it also involves ranking based on qualifications.
These new little Karamis have no right to sacrifice themselves for Viktor first.
Upon learning of this, both hunter teams were completely baffled. They hadn't expected that Viktor had brainwashed his assassins so thoroughly.
Even those who rush in to be cannon fodder have to wait for seniority and qualifications.
However, they were also lucky this time; they didn't get to be cannon fodder and are now escorting Viktor as he escapes through the secret passage.
The group exchanged glances and a silent exchange of information.
"Shall we make our move now?"
"No, the secret passage is too complicated. Only the target knows about it. We need him to lead us out."
"What if someone is there to meet you when you walk out?"
"If we go back now, the secret passage entrance will most likely have collapsed!"
The two hunter teams consisted of eight people in total. Seven of them were inside the secret passage, while the remaining one was outside maintaining contact to provide backup.
Viktor was oblivious to the strange behavior of the assassins around him and continued to curse Vina.
As he continued his tirade, perhaps exhausted, he pointed at one of his men, whom he considered a death squad member, and said, "You, come and carry me on your back! I'm tired!"
The hunter nodded instinctively, then lowered his head, his feet trembling slightly as he signaled.
The latest novel is first published here!
He removed his weapon, and using this movement, quickly pressed a spot on his body before crouching down in front of Viktor with his back to him.
A colorless and odorless mist spread over his body.
Wei Kang lunged at him, cursing and swearing, continuing to hurl insults.
He, Wei Kang, was a master strategist; when had he ever encountered such humiliation?
As he continued cursing, one of the assassins in front of him suddenly asked, "Your Highness, this is the fork in the road. Which way do we go?"
"Go left and walk two hundred steps to find a hidden entrance. Go in, then at the next fork in the road, feel your way up to a cave entrance... Damn Vina."
Viktor cursed as he explained how to proceed through the secret passage.
He was completely unaware that he was being so "talkative".
The assassin walking in the middle kept recording the information that Wei Kang said, and occasionally chimed in with a few words according to Wei Kang's personality, so that Wei Kang would continue to speak.
Wei Kang felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, as if all the pent-up frustration in his chest was about to be released.
This feeling of exhilaration made him feel almost ethereal.
He kept talking, even revealing how many commoners' children he had abducted when he was a child and his current lack of virility.
"Your Highness, what is our greatest asset in dealing with Princess Vina this time?" A hunter, sensing the opportune moment, pressed on to Viktor's most crucial strategy.
Wei Kang immediately picked up the conversation, saying smugly, "My mother has already bribed a third of the ministers in the court, and the city's garrison commander in the neighboring Wu City has also been bribed. He can muster an army of 30,000! Plus, there are thousands of men I've secretly trained on the outskirts of the city..."
"If Vina complies, I...might spare her life! However, she will be a cripple with severed meridians for the rest of her life, forced to marry the most despicable gambler in the gambling den!"
Viktor's speech gradually became unclear and his meaning became ambiguous. Towards the end, he even began to refer to himself as an emperor.
Following Vicon's directions, the hunter team quickly emerged from the complex underground passage and crawled out into a dilapidated farmhouse on the outskirts of the city.
The lead hunter tested the extent of Vicon's unconsciousness, then took out a needle and pricked his neck.
"Just to be safe, this paralyzing poison is enough to give him nightmares until tomorrow night! Forget about the outpost and the army, get back to deliver the mission immediately!"
"clear!"
The team switched to stealth, stuffed Vicon into a sack, and quickly returned to Tiandou City.
Weikang, who was fast asleep and unaware that a nightmare was approaching, struggled to turn over, but failed.
The city of Tiandou was already bustling with activity.
Large numbers of guards and troops patrolled the city together, and noble families were kept in watchful eyes by the soul-guided cannons, not daring to make any rash moves.
On First Avenue, several houses were emitting black smoke.
Qi Mao, holding a blood-stained broadsword, coldly stared at the noble youths who had been bound by the Soul Lock.
Several charred remains lay among the ruins of nearby houses.
The barrel of the Soul Guidance Cannon faintly glowed red.
A horse-drawn carriage sped down the street toward the palace.
Sighs could be heard coming from inside the car.
"Her Highness the Princess has finally made her move!"
"It should have been done long ago! Those imperial parasites deserve to die!"
"But after tonight, who will be the master of the empire?"
These words startled everyone inside the carriage.
A middle-aged man with graying temples stared out the window and sighed softly.
He had not received any information about Princess Vina's sudden action.
Sweeping away so many powerful aristocratic families must be a huge undertaking. The intricate relationships involved mean that if not handled carefully, the dead could be rekindled.
But when the middle-aged man recalled the large number of soul-guided cannons he had seen, he suddenly felt that with absolute force, the sweeping operation didn't seem so difficult.
