The fire first started in Nancheng District. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

While General Hermann and the Marquis of Habs were arguing with each other under the palace walls, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder was already resounding through the streets of the southern city.

Groups of scarlet knights galloped through the streets, startling countless sleeping crowds.

Countless pairs of frightened and surprised eyes looked out through the cracks in the windows or doors, and when they discovered that these knights who had entered the city late at night were actually heavily armed knights of the Scarlet Knights, anyone with the slightest insight chose to close the door and took out the self-defense weapons hidden deep in the treasury of their homes.

There are even some elderly people who have begun to worry deeply in their hearts - could it be that the bloody war caused by the throne thirty years ago is about to start again tonight?

Their guess wasn't wrong.

"Boom!" A strong fluctuation of fighting spirit came out, and the door of the mansion of Gallup, the undersecretary of the Sbanney Empire, was violently blasted open, and a team of at least a hundred cavalry rode in, and then held a cold and shining blade, and opened the door from room to room to open and search.

Of course, this action of the knights was not without resistance, and there were several resistances during the search, but after a few screams of fighting and magic and the collapse of several houses, all resistance was in vain, and nearly three hundred people up and down the entire mansion were driven like pigs and sheep to a clearing.

Nearly sixty years old, the Marquis of Gallup, who was already gray-sided, was so angry that his face was flushed, and he shouted at the group of blood-colored knights in front of him: "What are you doing here! I am the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, who was personally appointed by the former Emperor Charles XVI! You people will pay the price for trespassing on my mansion like this! ”

But the Marquis of Gallup had clearly miscalculated the situation, and on a night like this, the title and title were not a talisman that could save his life.

The leader of the knight squad glanced at the Marquis of Gallup in front of him expressionlessly, if it was on weekdays, the vice minister of foreign affairs could easily knock himself into the dust as long as he moved his mouth, but today the position between the two was completely reversed.

This made the squad leader suddenly gain a kind of pleasure, a thrill of being able to control the life and death of others.

The real name of this pleasure is power.

Take control of the life and death of others.

The team leader took a deep breath, enjoyed the feeling very happily, and then spat out a sentence from his mouth coldly.

"Kill them all, and leave no one behind."

"What?!" Marquis Gallup's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously roared: "How dare you—"

Marquis Gallup's words did not continue, because the captain of the Scarlet Knights in front of him, who was riding a tall horse, had already stretched out his riding spear and stabbed it heavily into the heart of the Marquis.

The cold light of the blade flickered in the night sky, each flickering represented the loss of a human life, and the earth-shattering screams resounded in every corner of the air but quickly stopped after a few moments.

There was no one left alive except the freshly baked corpses and this group of Scarlet Knights.

"Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs?" The squad leader sneered and looked condescendingly at the corpse of Marquis Gallup lying in a pool of blood: "Even if you are the Prime Minister, I will kill you as such!" ”

The knights quickly regrouped and drove out of the mansion gate in a very orderly manner. Before the knights left, dozens of torches were thrown into the mansion through the wall, and the flames soon flooded the mansion, and the blazing flames soared into the sky, reflecting the sky of several nearby neighborhoods in red.

Leo and the others, who were at the west gate of the outer city of the palace, saw this piece of fire.

"It's Nancheng District!" The face of the Marquis of Habs suddenly became a little ugly, as did General Herman.

Leo was stunned for a moment, but immediately remembered that the southern part of the city was the famous mansion area of Ridmar, where most of the imperial nobles and important state officials, such as the Marquis of Habs and General Hermann, were located.

So if a certain mansion catches fire in this place, it can only mean one thing - chaos is about to begin.

To make matters worse, due to the obstruction of the view at night and the distance between the West Gate and the southern part of the city, the people at the West Gate could not even determine which mansion the fire was burning from.

Fortunately, they will soon not have such troubles.

What happened to the Marquis of Gallup's family was obviously not unique to the night, and soon one mansion after another in the southern city was burning one after another.

The skyrocketing fire became more and more red, illuminating almost the entire sky on the basin.

The Snow Bear Family Mansion.

A full five hundred Scarlet Knights and dozens of cultivators and masters came to this imposing mansion under the leadership of General Brian.

The Scarlet Knights' strategy for tonight is actually very simple, which is to go door to door and destroy all the ministers who are on the side of Prime Minister Paul and the second prince Julian.

The targets of this purge did not include any of the ordinary people of Ridmar, and as one of the few troops in the Spanne Empire controlled by the Loyalists, the military discipline of the Scarlet Knights was not infallible, but at least they were not stupid enough to go against their fathers and villagers in their own capital.

Due to the distance, although General Bryan led the team all the way to the front, he did not arrive at the same time as the subordinates who were assigned to the other ministers' residences behind him.

But in any case, at least General Bryan had arrived here as fast as he could.

Just before nightfall, the mansion where Prime Minister Paul's family was located was still full of people, but now it was quiet without any lights, as if it had suddenly become a haunted mansion.

General Bryan raised his hand, and then pressed it down: "Attack!" ”

Several cultivators flashed out, the light of fighting energy and magic shining in the night, and then slammed into the gate.

With a loud bang, the door of the Ice Giant Bear family's mansion crashed to the ground in the dust.

"Rush in for me, no man, woman, young or old!" General Bryan drew the sword at his waist, his words murderous.

Five hundred knights rushed into the extremely vast mansion with swords in hand.

Moments later, news after message came back to General Brian.

"Report to the general, the main complex has been searched, and no one has been found!"

"Report to the General, the garden has been searched, and no one has been found!"

"Report to the general, the southwest corner complex has been searched, and no one has been found!"

"Report to the general, the northeast corner complex has been searched, and no one has been found!"

"Report to the general, the servants' quarters and stables have been searched, and no one has been found, not even a single horse!"

General Brian's face turned pale.

In tonight's plan, killing Prime Minister Paul and the second prince is undoubtedly the top priority, so General Brian, the supreme commander of the Scarlet Knights, personally led his five hundred elites here.

But it was clear that Prime Minister Paul had already gotten the news, and everyone in the entire Ice Bear Family Mansion had been cleaned, not even a single horse had been left.

General Bryan cursed a foul word, and then issued the next order: "The whole army is assembled, let's go to the palace!"

Unfortunately, this order of General Bryan seemed to be difficult to fulfill for a while, because he and his five hundred knights had just finished driving out of the mansion when a group of knights who were about the same number as them or maybe even more than them appeared in front of them, blocking the way of the group of Scarlet Knights.

General Brian's pupils shrank slightly, and he had already recognized the origin of the other knight from the opponent's armor: "Silver Wing Knights? ”

Obviously, this group of Silver Wing Knights did not appear at this time to catch up with these Scarlet Knights led by General Brian.
