There are two large camps outside the city of Ridmar, the east and west, which are stationed the two ace knights of the Spanne Empire and the two infantry regiments attached to these two knights, and the cavalry regiment stationed in the western camp is called the "Scarlet Knights".

Although the traitors and assassins who were ordered by the major families in Ridmar City to kill each other flew back and forth, it did not have any impact on most of the civilians living in Ridmar City, nor on the two military camps outside the city.

The city of Ridmar is home to more than a million people, and a few hundred lives are just a drop in the ocean.

Tonight's camp in the west was as calm as ever, the sentries were on duty on the high watchtowers, and most of the soldiers in the camp were asleep as usual, except for a few patrols who were still patrolling around dutifully.

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, attracting the attention of the sentry on the watchtower: "What man?" Tell us who you are! ”

Two horses and horsemen appeared outside the gate of the camp, and one of the knights at the head raised his head and said in a loud voice: "I'm Emmanuel, I have an urgent military situation to inform General Brian, open the door quickly!" ”

"Deputy Commander?" The sentry couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this.

As the representative of the imperial prince's army, Emmanuel's position in the army is that of the deputy head of the Scarlet Knights stationed in the Western Battalion.

The sentry took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Deputy Commander, please show your token!" ”

As soon as the sentry finished speaking, the knight behind Emmanuel raised his hand, and an object flew out of the knight's hand, drew a very exaggerated high parabola in the air, and landed on the five-meter-high watchtower with unmistakable accuracy.

The sentry was startled, but picked up the object that had been thrown up, and it turned out to be an all-red token with an emblem dedicated to the Scarlet Knights.

The gate was quickly opened, and Emmanuel and the knights behind him galloped into the western camp and headed straight for the tent.

Moments later, Emmanuel met the current head of the Scarlet Knights, General Brian, in the tent.

General Brian, a veteran general in his forties, was a very calm and sophisticated man, and soon after being briefed, he met with Emmanuel.

"Your Excellency, Deputy Head of Regiment, what happened?"

In the military, it is common to refer to each other by rank, so no one here refers to Emmanuel as His Royal Highness. And if you really want to talk about it, the current Emmanuel is still a subordinate of General Brian.

Of course, due to Emmanuel's origins and the fact that he might ascend the throne tomorrow, General Bryan spoke in a very polite tone.

Emmanuel first gave a military salute to General Bryan in accordance with the usual military practice, and then said: "General, there is a rebellion in Ridmar City, please quickly lead the Scarlet Knights to send troops to quell the rebellion!" ”

"Rebellion?" General Bryan was shocked when he heard this, but he immediately calmed down, and his eyes looked at Emmanuel in front of him for a moment, faintly revealing a little hesitation: "Who is so bold that he dares to launch a rebellion at this time?" ”

Emmanuel said in a deep voice: "It was Prime Minister Paul and the second prince Julian who started the rebellion!" ”

General Bryan gasped, and instead of surprise, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

As a general defending the city of Ridmar, General Brian certainly couldn't be ignorant of the situation in Ridmar at this moment.

The upcoming emperor election meeting is a hot topic these days, and everyone knows that at this moment, the second prince Julian is the one who is in the limelight and has the highest hope of ascending the throne.

General Bryan was worried more than once that when Julian ascended the throne, the Scarlet Knights would be treated coldly or even split up because of Emmanuel as the deputy leader, but the general never expected that it was not Julian who gave him a big problem at this moment, but Emmanuel himself.

The purpose of Emmanuel's trip is obvious, the Grand Prince hopes to use the power of the Scarlet Knights to eliminate his political enemies, Prime Minister Paul and the second prince Julian, in one fell swoop, and ascend to the throne under the escort of the Scarlet Knights!

As for the excuse for the rebellion, it would be good to laugh, it was really a matter for Emmanuel, and it was not easy to make accusations and pour dirty water on the dead Prime Minister Paul and Julian?

By that time, it will naturally be that countless "loyal patriots" will jump out and stomp heavily on the corpses of these dead people, and provide countless "incriminating evidence" of Prime Minister Paul and Julian's rebellion.

It's just-

General Bryan let out a long breath and shook his head firmly: "Deputy Commander Emmanuel, I can't agree to your request. The army must not be involved in any political struggle, this is an iron law set by Charles the Great and King Lionheart, and I cannot break it. ”

Emmanuel's face showed an angry face: "General Brian! Do you just watch Prime Minister Paul and Julian cause chaos and bring disaster to tens of millions of people in the empire? ”

Brian's expression was equally resolute: "Your Excellency, Deputy Commander, you and I both know in our hearts what this so-called 'rebellion' is all about. So please go back, and the moment you ascend the throne as emperor, Brian will naturally offer his loyalty and plead to you, but not now. ”

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Emmanuel: "Brian, I suggest that you better agree to His Highness's request." ”

General Bryan was shocked, and looked at the person who had been silently following Emmanuel all this time who looked like a personal guard: "You, you are—"

The man behind Emmanuel stepped forward and took off the helmet on his head, revealing a face that Brian was all too familiar with.

This person is naturally the current Minister of War of the Spany Empire, the Marshal of the Empire, and the Lord of the Golden Lion Family, Duke Francis Lean.

The look of surprise on General Brian's face was indescribable: "Lord Marshal! How are you—"

Duke Lean interrupted General Brian's words: "Brian, tell me, are you more loyal to the empire than to your family and glory?" ”

General Brian subconsciously straightened up, saluted Duke Lean in front of him, and said loudly: "Of course! ”

In fact, this is also a very normal thing, whether it is this general Bryan or the general in charge of the East Battalion, if it is not absolutely loyal to the royal family, it is impossible to be sent to take charge of these two elite troops close to the city of Ridmar.

"Very well, then you can take a look at this." Duke Leanne had apparently anticipated Brian's reaction, and took something out of his bosom and handed it to the general.

Brian subconsciously took such a thing, and then his body shook again, and the whole person was so shocked that he involuntarily took two steps back: "This, this is-"

"This is the edict of His Majesty the former Emperor Charles XVI!" Duke Lean's eyes were fixed on General Brian: "Open it and see the contents inside." ”

A moment later, the sound of a military trumpet, which was extremely loud and loud, three long and two short, suddenly resounded throughout the entire Western Battalion.

In the ears of all the Scarlet Knights, there is only one meaning represented by such a military horn, that is, the whole army is urgently assembled!
