The city of London, these days, the 5,000 Praetorian Guard recruits who have taken over the defense of the city of London, I don't know if it is because of their lack of experience, or because they have been instructed by someone, they have a very loose control of the city defense.

These days, there is a bit of a lot of traffic in and out of London, which makes the city appear with many strange male faces in the prime of life. Of course, they were all unarmed. Although the recruits of the Praetorian Guard seemed to be a little derelict in their duties, this red line was not crossed, that is, no one was allowed to bring weapons into the city.

In the basement of a dilapidated old house, there is still a group of people in black. What they were discussing:

"Hehe, Edward is really looking for death. He thought it would be safe to keep people from carrying weapons into the city? In fact, London is our old base, how can there be a shortage of weapons in the city? By the way, everyone should have enough weapons in their hands, right? ”

A group of men in black nodded one after another, and one of the men in black answered:

"That's enough, Boss Jones. However, the number of spears was somewhat insufficient. ”

The man in black, named Jones, who was sitting on the throne, thought for a moment and said:

"It's okay if the spear is insufficient, after all, we're fighting in the city, and the spear is too long to be used in street fighting, and it's better than a sword. Of course, if you're using a one-handed sword, it's best to have some shields. By the way, do you have enough shields? ”

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be much......"

"yes, we didn't think about preparing a shield before......"

……

"Forget it, let's act when the time comes. By the way, have all the people in everyone's hands entered the city? Bowman, you counted this, how is it? ”

The man in black named Bowman replied:

"Most of them have arrived, but only a hundred people can't get back in time because they are too far away from London, do you have to wait for them to arrive?"

"Only more than 100 people didn't come? That is, now there are more than 4,000 people? ”

"Yes!"

"It's about the same number...... By the way, I would like to tell you the good news, the two phalanx leaders who were bought by us have already revealed their willingness to cooperate with us. Even the commander of the First Phalanx, Jenas, has taken our money and is willing to remain neutral! ”

"Really? So, that is, there are 6000 people on our side, and only 1500 on the other side? Now it's a sure win! ”

"yes, yes!"

A group of men in black became excited......

It's just that they don't know that Jenas, the leader of the First Phalanx, is actually Edward's henchman. He promised to accept bribes from the men in black, and promised neutrality, which was actually Edward's behest. The purpose was to encourage the remnants of the Tudor dynasty to take risks.

Sure enough, the remnants of the Tudor dynasty were tempted......

The leader of the men in black named Jones thought for a moment and said:

"In the past few days, everyone has secretly distributed weapons, and the rusty sword has sharpened for me. Three days later, in the middle of the night, we launched the uprising on time. Remember, everyone gathered in the square of Westminster Abbey in the middle of the night with weapons. Then, get in formation and fight to the Tower of London's palace......"

"Wait...... Boss Jones, Westminster Abbey Abbey Square is in the west of the city, and the Tower of London is in the southeast of the city, a little far away......"

"Stupid? The enemy must have been heavily guarded near the palace. Only on the west side of Westminster Abbey Abbey will their defenses be more lax! Moreover, the area where Westminster Abbey is located is under the jurisdiction of the Basque Lordship that we have bought, and I can greet him and let him use his position to facilitate our concentration of people in the middle of the night! ”

"Boss Jones is wise!"

……

Three days later, in the evening, before midnight, the remnants of the Tudor dynasty could not sleep. Of course, they slept well during the day......

After it got dark, many people in black began to wait patiently for orders in various inconspicuous courtyards or basements, holding swords......

At this time, several major events also occurred in the Praetorian Guard guarding London......

"What are you doing? Want to rebel? I'm the commander of the new Praetorian Guard's third-party formation, so how dare you commit an offense? ”

In the garrison barracks of Westminster Abbey, several lieutenants had taken their phalanx commander hostage, a nobleman who looked dressed in a coquettish bag, the Basque lord who had been bribed by the Tudor remnants.

In fact, this guy is a second-generation straw bale, and he doesn't learn anything. Usually, his command of the army is also done through several adjutants. On the surface, several of his lieutenants were very obedient to him and had good abilities, which made him have the illusion that "these people obey me".

Then, after he issued the order to "leave anything happening near Westminster Abbey at night", his lieutenants got him under control. At the same time, several agents quietly left the barracks and headed for the Tower of London...... Apparently the news went to ......

Of course, for what happened at Westminster Abbey, the people of the third-party array did carry out the order and chose to ignore it. Why? Because to fight these rebels, we need to wait for them to gather. Otherwise, if you shoot too early, someone will hide, and it will be difficult to find. If those traitors take off their black clothes and throw away their swords, can you tell that he is a traitor?

As for the other bribed leader of the phalanx, Nick, the leader of the fifth phalanx, he was also controlled by the adjutants after giving the order "don't sleep tonight, there may be something to do". However, this guy is more capable than the Basque Country, and he has some subordinates in the army. So, to avoid suspicion from his cronies, Nick's lieutenants poured him a lot of liquor and made him look drunk. When Nick's cronies came to ask for verification, they saw Nick drunk and lying in bed......

"Didn't you say there was something big to do tonight? How do you get drunk yourself? Several of Nick's cronies walked away with puzzled faces. Of course, as they left, they didn't see the eyes of the adjutant who had seen them leave, as if they were looking at dead people......

……

"What? Launched in the middle of the night tonight? Why is it in such a hurry? The information is coming too slowly! Edward was also shocked when he received the information. At this time, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and it was only 3 hours before the enemy launched. But it can't be helped, because those Tudor remnants only sent someone to inform the two bribed captains this evening. At the same time, Edward's confidant Janus was also receiving the message. Of course, the message received by Jenas was - "Please stand by tonight". Moreover, Jenas was the last to receive the message. Because, the other party doesn't trust Jenas very much. Then, Janus also sent the news to the royal palace.

"Quick, send someone to inform General Chlicy in the camp west of the city!" Edward immediately ordered.

However, to send someone to the camp in the west outside London at night, you must ride over. But there was a curfew in the city of London, and if someone were to ride through the city on horseback, it would inevitably alarm the rebels. And if you take the waterway of the Thames, it seems too slow...... Finally, it was Janus, who was guarding the east gate, who quietly opened the east gate, sent people on horseback, and went around the east gate to the north of London, and then galloped all the way west to the camp west of the city to report the news......

But when the messenger arrived at the camp west of the city, it was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. At this time, the square of Westminster Abbey Cathedral was already full of black-clothed people carrying swords......
