Chapter 144: National Martyrdom 3
Mars helped Quinn XIII to sit on the Iron Throne, his eyes suddenly glistened with tears, and he exclaimed softly: "Father, I'm sorry, I hurt you!"
Quinn XIII's face was as pale as paper, and he waved his hand slightly, asking Mars not to speak, and then he looked at the main hall and said weakly: "Goss...... Sarn ...... Sherwood ...... Edgar...... The four of you come forward, I have something to say!"
The four ministers looked at each other and immediately stepped forward, and Quinn XIII said slowly: "I am about to die...... You and others are important ministers of the kingdom, and I don't expect you to do anything, but...... I must ask you to ...... Be sure to assist Mars well and keep the Sunset Kingdom alive...... Go down, and I, the royal family, will not treat you badly......"
Speaking of this, Quinn XIII spat black blood from his mouth, and the pupils in his eyes suddenly dilated, obviously there was poison on the dagger, and the poison penetrated into the heart, which had completely destroyed his bodily functions.
"Father!"
Mars snorted softly, a little overwhelmed, this was the first time he had faced the death of a loved one, even if this loved one did not leave much memory for him, but when the burden of the kingdom was placed on his shoulders, Mars had forgiven in his heart.
Yes, no matter how cold-blooded Quinn XIII was, but in the end passed the throne to Mars, allowing Mars to inherit the throne legally, what complaints did Mars have to complain?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is gone, it's time to deal with state affairs!"
The former Prime Minister reminded in a low voice.
Mars was suddenly shocked in his heart, he was actually swayed by emotions, and almost missed a big thing, at this time, I am afraid that Queen Bella already knew what was happening in the hall.
Immediately, Mars immediately gave an order, "Du Wei listens to the order!"
"Your Majesty, the minister is here!" Du Wei's eyes flashed with excitement, he bet right, and then it was time to make a big move!
Mars immediately ordered: "Queen Bella plotted to assassinate Your Majesty, you follow me to arrest Queen Bella, Prime Minister Goss and the other three will temporarily return to the Privy Council to preside over the affairs of the government, and the other ministers will be temporarily detained in the dungeon, and the trial will be held after the overall situation is stable!"
Prime Minister Goss wanted to say something, but in the end he was ordered to go to the Privy Council under the escort of two knights of the Royal Knights, while more than 20 of his ministers were escorted to the dungeon by more than a dozen knights.
Although the ministers complained deeply, they seemed to be very cooperative at the moment.
Mars ignored it and immediately followed Du Wei towards the inner circle of the palace.
At the same time, Queen Bella's carriage had left the palace and was galloping towards the Rose Manor.
In the Rose Manor, after the eldest prince muse received the secret letter from Queen Bella, he was already ready to go, the flag was fluttering, and the Blood Sword Knights were no longer considered knights, but should be called the Blood Sword Legion, and more than 50,000 soldiers almost filled the empty space of the entire manor.
"Report, the queen's secret order has arrived!"
A palace guard galloped over, and then handed a secret letter to the muse, who opened the secret letter with a cold look in his eyes, and then tore it to shreds, and whispered, "Father, is this how you treat me?"
Immediately, he shouted loudly and said: "All the blood sword soldiers obey the order, the seventh prince Mars poisoned His Majesty and occupied the palace, if it is a man, he will kill me and avenge His Majesty!"
"Avenge Your Majesty!"
"Avenge Your Majesty!"
"Avenge Your Majesty!"
The Blood Sword Legion is not without blood-blooded soldiers, and when they heard that the king was poisoned, their eyes were bloody, and they wanted to immediately enter the palace and break Mars's body into pieces!
So, under the leadership of the eldest prince Muse, the Blood Sword Legion left the Rose Villa and marched towards the palace, with more than 50,000 soldiers dragging a long procession, making the morning of the royal capital of Sunset City stained with a touch of slaughter, and the people also rushed into the house and closed the door.
Queen Bella sat in the carriage, protected by hundreds of guards, she took out the secret letter from a wooden box, and ordered her cronies to deliver the letters, each of which she had to ponder for a moment, and seemed extremely methodical, but only she knew that her heart was not at peace, she knew what was going to happen next, so she needed to be as calm as possible.
With the departure of her cronies, a secret letter was taken to the residences of the major nobles who had already been bought, which she had prepared for a long time, in order to have such a day.
However, she hesitated when she picked up the last secret letter, which had a name on it, "His Holiness the Pope".
If the queen Bella in Sunset City is the most reluctant to contact, it is not a hostile nobleman, but the pope of the Temple of Light, although it is said that it is a divine gift of royal power, but three hundred years ago, when the royal family of Quinn regained the throne, it gradually distanced itself from the Temple of Light, although it was not openly hostile, but it has been competing in secret.
If she bows her head this time, then even if the Grand Prince Muse takes the throne in the future, it will be restrained by the Pope, and even the kingdom of Sunset City will become a kingdom controlled by the gods.
But Queen Bella was reluctant to take risks, after all, the Quake family didn't get it, and the Sunset Legion was at odds with the queen and the eldest prince, so she had to make a choice, but what she didn't expect was so fast.
"Amal, send this letter to the Temple of Light quickly!"
With that, Queen Bella leaned back on the carriage exhausted, and a young guard immediately took the secret letter and sped away.
Just after the eldest prince muse led the army out of the Rose Manor, Anderson rushed into the Rose Manor with nearly a thousand private troops cobbled together by the major families, and there were less than a hundred ordinary soldiers of the Blood Sword Legion who stayed behind in the Rose Manor, and they were crushed with one blow, and Anderson quickly found two middle-aged people tied to the torture rack in the dungeon.
After Anderson briefly explained the reason, Arbus and Frank immediately agreed, and their injuries were almost healed, so Muse did not think about letting them die.
So, Arbus went to the port with nearly a hundred ordinary soldiers, while Frank and Anderson chased after the Blood Sword Legion.
......
After Mars and Du Wei rushed into the inner palace, the inner palace guards basically surrendered without much resistance, and the queen had already fled the palace, and then, Mars ordered someone to take care of the body of Quinn XIII, he discussed with Du Wei for a while, and decided to take the knights of the royal knights to the periphery of the palace to ambush, after all, the palace is too big, and they only have two thousand knights and more than three hundred surrendered inner palace guards, which is not capable of defense at all.
Corridor of Light.
This is a corridor about 20 meters wide and nearly 100 meters long, guarded by knights of the Blood Sword Knights all year round, and hundreds of officials enter the palace from here.
It was also the main access to the palace, and Mars had ordered the other gates to be closed, so it was the only way to enter the palace.
Of course, the eldest prince muse can choose to attack the city, but that will give Mars a chance to sneak attack, so if the eldest prince doesn't want to be attacked by two thousand real knights, he can only choose to take the bright corridor and face Mars head-on.
As the minutes ticked by, Mars anxiously waited for the Grand Prince's muse's troops.
Soon, the ground began to tremble, and Mars knew that this was the shaking of the war horse stomping on the ground, which showed that there were more than three thousand knights in the Blood Sword Knights.
Du Wei lay on the ground, listened with his ear, and then said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the knights of the other party are more than five thousand." ”
"Five thousand?" Mars was shocked.
The strength of the Blood Sword Knights was originally above the Royal Knights, and now the knights are more than five thousand, how can this be fought?
Mars immediately ordered: "Set up three horse rejection stakes, all knights get on their horses, and all guards stealth on the roof, waiting for the opportunity to shoot!"
The three horse-rejecting stakes were quickly placed, and everyone was ready, and Mars took the lead, standing in the middle of the corridor of light, waiting for the arrival of the Blood Sword Knights.
Soon, a red line came in an instant, and the Blood Sword Knights Blood Sword Banner appeared first, and the Blood Sword Knights were red, surging towards the Corridor of Light like a flood.
When Mars saw this scene, he actually had a feeling of palpitations, but a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, it was time to fight!
