Chapter 167: Covering the sky with one hand

William approached step by step, and the guards in front of him escorted Norton I step by step, as if he were some kind of man-eating beast.

Even if he was as stupid as Norton I, he would not believe whatever William said when he led his troops into the palace.

"What are you doing?" William scolded, frowning.

Boom!

As soon as William finished speaking, one of the guards suddenly opened fire on him.

And William felt a slight numbness in his eyebrows when the other party was secretly aiming at him, and Huo Ran turned his head to look in the direction of the muzzle.

At this moment, the beastly intuition brought to him by the [High Vigilance] specialty, the high-speed reaction brought to him by the [Lightning Reflex] specialty, and his own solid swordsmanship were combined, and he saw that the sword light was like a rainbow, and William had already raised the knife in his hand in an instant, and the bullet flew towards him with a slash.

The soldiers of several other escort teams saw their companions shoot, and they also shot one after another, but they saw William's face was cold, and he stabbed several times in a row, and the knife was accurately slashed on the bullet, and the bullet clanged when the bullet and the blade clashed, and when the escort team emptied the bullet, William still did not have the slightest injury.

The dumbfounded escort soldier mechanically pulled the trigger, William sneered, hit the knife and slashed, a knife light slashed across the roof, and a boom was heard, and the roof on everyone's heads was broken by William's knife, and the rain poured down unscrupulously, but when it was poured on William's head, it made a sizzling sound, which instantly vaporized, forming a stream of steam.

As soon as William beckoned, a large number of steam condensed together, and the soldiers of the escort team couldn't help but open their mouths wide as they looked at the magical power of this devil fruit.

The next moment, the steam that vaguely condensed into a dragon shape had rushed towards the guards, and as soon as the high-temperature steam of hundreds of degrees touched the skin, the soldiers of the escort team let out a series of screams, and then the steam dragon suddenly exploded, and the steam explosion formed an impact mixed with a heat wave, directly rushing them to the ground, covering their bare skin, and moaning in a low voice.

Although William had already controlled the power, Norton I, who had been hiding behind the guards soldiers, was also affected by the shock of the steam explosion, and sat on the ground, with a few more red marks on his bare white skin burned by the high temperature steam, and the crown fell to the ground and rolled to William's feet.

William picked up the crown and walked towards Norton I in a playful manner, and after unceremoniously mentioning Norton I, who was covering his face and screaming, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that there are many of Reard's comrades in the escort. ”

William dragged a bewildered Norton I to the Morgan Pirates.

When he saw Harden staring at the embarrassed Norton I, he lightly raised the guards who were lying on the ground and groaned, and ordered: "These people are all fellow traitors, and they will be executed." ”

These people can run to protect Norton I in the chaos for the first time, they must be diehards, and William is not ready to leave these people alive at all.

Harden smirked, and walked to the guards lying on the ground with a knife, these people had severe skin burns, and their bodies were also affected by the explosion, and their brains were in a mess, and they were powerless to resist.

William had already looked at Aramis: "You take someone to 'protect' Your Majesty's safety." He accentuated his tone when he said the word "protection."

Aramis smiled slightly, revealing two tiger teeth, and nodded knowingly.

William looked at Edmund again: "You take someone to find His Majesty's family, and then send it to Aramis for 'protection'." ”

"Shi, Stolter," the panicked Norton I finally exclaimed, "what the hell do you want to do?"

"Please call me William, Your Majesty," William glanced at Norton I with a blank expression, "This rebellion is very involved, it can be characterized as a long-planned collective rebellion, and I can't guarantee how many nobles and officials are involved, so for now you can only be considered safe if you are under the protection of me and my people." ”

"This can't be!" said Norton in disbelief, not knowing whether to oppose William's claim that this was a long-planned mass rebellion, or to his claim that it was safe only to be under their protection.

"The director of the Liquor Smuggling Investigation Bureau has evidence of Realder's comrades in his hands," William grinned, with a bit of sarcasm, "Reald started a rebellion because he violated Prohibition and tried to evade the crime of instructing others to sell alcohol as the mastermind behind the underground alcohol trade, so of course, anyone who secretly hid alcohol at home can be counted as his comrades, and who is innocent needs to be slowly reviewed by me and my people in the following days." ”

……

It took several days for the riots in Kalmar to subside, and William was now in control of the entire palace, the gates of which were guarded by his men, and the sea routes outside the city were blocked by his pirate ships.

In the blink of an eye, the actual control of the entire city, as well as the representatives of the highest power of the state, was in William's hands, and the naval branch in charge of this sea area also turned a blind eye to the riots that had taken place here, on the grounds that it was more official and more official - this was a contradiction between the people of the Kingdom of Navia, and it was no longer within the responsibility of the navy to interfere.

The riot incident was also quickly characterized as a rebellion led by the former Home Secretary Reild, which was actually William did not lie, Reilder's group's behavior, if successful, he could naturally try his best to clear his name, but failed, and his private mobilization of troops to attack other ministers was undoubtedly a rebellion.

The people firmly believe in this statement, and the civilians who have suffered from the riots hate Reild as a gang of rebels and thieves.

William began to purge the leadership of the Kalmar City army from the beginning, until this time, the nobles of Kalmar City knew what real persecution was, and the investigation bureau in the Alcatio period was just a pediatric, if it wasn't for William's instructions, Chloe would have put people in prison for interrogation at most, and it was impossible to kill people.

But now, in the name of investigating traitors, William has changed the Liquor Smuggling Investigation Bureau to the National Security Bureau, and given that William's characterization of Reild is because he rebelled because he escaped the crime of mastering the underground liquor market, then any nobles who have participated in the liquor trade, in other words, nobles who have alcohol in their families, may be Reilder's comrades.

But how could there be no wine in the homes of the various nobles? Chloe had already been instructed by William and had enough evidence in the previous days, so whether Reild was in the same party or not was up to William.

So now, the nobles who cursed Alcatio day and night not long ago, and hated the chancellor of the exchequer to die quickly, now miss him immensely.

Because the man who replaced Arcatio is now more domineering, and in the city today, the man named William almost covers the sky with one hand.
