Chapter 315: Simba

When William and the others were still some distance away from the palace, they heard shouts and gunshots coming from there.

By the time William arrived, the shouts had gradually fallen, the palace gate was opened from the inside, and a group of soldiers rushed out of the palace gate, and Oliver behind William instructed the soldiers of the garrison to prepare to attack, but William raised his hand and told them to lower their guns.

Many of the soldiers who came out of the palace were still stained with blood, but at this time they seemed to be hostile, and when they saw William's appearance clearly, they even simply threw their weapons on the ground, and when the first person knelt down on one knee and cheered William's name, immediately all the soldiers knelt down, let go of the palace door, and cheered for William.

No matter how carefully Norton I and the nobles of Kalmar City were selected, they could only select a few obedient high-ranking officers or some middle-level generals, and still could not change the fact that the soldiers were composed of the bottom population.

These people may not have been William's most loyal supporters, but during the time of William's imprisonment, the rulers of the Kingdom of Navia acted perversely, and gradually corrupted the situation that William had finally improved in recent years, and because the nobles of the Kingdom of Navia in order to win over the support of the military, compared with the reign of William, they wisely relaxed some of the requirements for military discipline, and in order to show goodwill, they reduced the amount of training for low-level soldiers like Basco, so that they had more personal time, and they could even often leave the barracks to return home, or rest outside。

However, as a result, these soldiers from the bottom can clearly understand and see how their families and living environment have gradually deteriorated from the prosperity of William's reign.

If these soldiers were still living a semi-closed life in the barracks like during William's reign, maintaining a certain degree of isolation from society and reducing external influence, the impact and impact on them would not be so great, and with the deterrence of the navy and the world government hanging over their heads, they would probably still obey the orders of their superiors.

It's a pity that there is no if in reality, and because the strategy adopted by the nobles of the Navia Kingdom is to close the upper echelons, the officers who were successfully co-opted by them, without William's deterrence, dare to do things that they would never dare to do in the past, such as greedy for military salaries.

The low-level soldiers were receiving the salaries that began to shrink, and on the other hand, every time they went home, they looked at the families who were becoming more and more strapped and embarrassed, and listened to the gossip that the women of the surrounding families had to become Liuying, even if they were not supporters of William in the first place, they would be forced to become supporters of William in this environment.

When the square where the execution table was located rioted, and the news of the collective rebellion of the garrison barracks reached the palace one after another, the morale of the soldiers here had already begun to fluctuate, and when the news of William's release from prison and his march to the palace arrived, the situation was no longer under the control of the generals stationed here.

Those officers who stood on the side of the nobles and Norton I urged and commanded the soldiers to guard the palace, but they didn't know who fired the first shot, this shot was like a fuse, and the disgruntled soldiers seemed to have discussed it, and they all rose up in a group to attack, and the officers who had been co-opted by the nobles during this time, as well as the generals who had been airborne, turned against each other, and directly opened the palace gate to welcome William.

William did not plant anyone in the palace, and the soldiers spontaneously defected before he arrived, similar to the riots that took place in the square of the execution bench, which was an accident.

Ah Jin looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of him, and some extremely young soldiers even burst into tears when they cheered because of the warm scene in front of them, and his eyes fell to the direction of the palace again, and he whispered: "What a group of pigs, leaving the navy, these wastes are really nothing." ”

"Isn't that better?" William laughed.

Ah Jin thought for a moment, grinned, and nodded.

……

In the palace, when there was a shout of killing in front of the palace gate, the king of the kingdom of Navia, Norton I and his family, were sitting in the main hall mournfully, the queen kept wiping her tears, and Norton I was also red-eyed.

After William was arrested and imprisoned, Norton I really had the heart to cheer up, but he was limited to a series of factors such as lack of ability and lack of time, and finally fell into such a desperate situation.

He looked at his son, Norton II, who was supposed to be the prince of the country, and the boy who was only eleven years old was already crying and his eyes were swollen with tears, and his face was full of resentment and unwillingness.

Norton I choked up and said to his son, "Your mother and I are here to attract the attention of that rebellious servant of Morgan William, and you take the opportunity to get out of here." ”

He turned his head again and looked at an attendant standing silently next to him: "You take advantage of the chaos in the palace now, take the prince and leave quietly, even if you run out, don't make a noise, Morgan William's power in the East China Sea is too great." ”

After Norton I finished speaking, he got up and bowed to his attendants, he would never have been able to do such a move before being overtaken by William and suffering some "ordeals".

He looked sad and said in a sincere tone: "Norton II's life is entrusted to you, please take care of him." ”

After he finished speaking, he called Norton II again, and asked Norton II to kneel down and call his attendants "Godfather".

The middle-aged squire was startled and hurriedly avoided it, but Norton I repeatedly pleaded, and the king, who was a member of the world government, was so sincere that the squire, who had been instilled in loyalty to the monarch since childhood, was very moved, and finally agreed.

Although Norton II was reluctant, he knelt down under his father's order and recognized the honest middle-aged squire in front of him as his "godfather".

Norton I then immediately asked the attendants to take his son away, but Norton II refused to go, and the queen also cried and hugged Norton II, and the palace family of three was completely a scene of the end of the world.

Norton I was a little angry and pulled the mother and son apart, and said to Norton II seriously: "Child, be obedient, you have to live, don't let me and your queen mother die in vain, so that in the future, the throne of the Kingdom of Navia will be taken back from the hands of Morgan William, a rebellious minister and thief, before that, you must take care of yourself and ensure your own safety! You are the next rightful king of the Kingdom of Navia, even if you suffer setbacks now, you must be strong! Now leave with your godfather!"

After Norton I finished speaking, he glanced at the middle-aged squire, and the squire pulled Norton II, who was silently weeping without saying a word, and left.

Not long after the two people left, the gate of the palace was suddenly opened from the outside, and a group of ministers ran in in a panic, one of whom shouted as he ran: "Your Majesty, no, Morgan William has entered the palace." ”
