Chapter 156, The Enthronement Ceremony

It's early in the morning again.

In the imperial capital, everyone was awakened by the sound of the bell.

Today is the official enthronement of Crown Prince Peter August!

All the nobles dressed in formal and splendid clothes marched solemnly into the palace to attend the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, and the commoners were allowed to enter the White Rock Square to wait for the completion of the emperor's enthronement ceremony, and then kneel down and cheer as usual.

A large number of soldiers of the Guard Army patrolled the streets to maintain order in the imperial capital.

The garrison that took over the defense of the imperial capital and the defense of the imperial palace was in good standing at the city walls and palace walls.

Unbelievers in the God of War, Lord of Light, and Emperor of Flame.

The creator god had no temples and no priests.

But the royal family of Auguste, who are of dragon blood, are all descendants of true dragons, and have always been able to receive the blessings of the divine dragon at the most important coronation ceremony!

Inside the magnificent hall.

As the crown prince in the first heir, Peter August has begun a ritual that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The blood of the Emperor drips onto the Divine Dragon's multicolored scales.

Call for the true dragon to descend on the palace!

Dragons live a long life, often sleeping in a light sleep for dozens or hundreds of years, Pete August completed the ritual of calling, communicating with the real dragon with his mind, and could not wake up the dragon for a while and a half to get a response.

Then.

The second prince, Nick August, finally appeared.

The hidden Royal Knights and Royal Guards also took to the streets from all over the city, killing the patrolling soldiers, and then quickly rushed to the main street in front of the palace to assemble.

Without waiting for the reaction of the garrison guarding the palace wall, they broke through the palace gate in one fell swoop.

and control the parapets throughout the palace.

Surrounded by the second prince Nick Auguste into the main hall.

"Nick, you shouldn't be here!"

Looking at his younger brother, who was surrounded by royal knights and royal guard officers, and completed the ceremony, Pete Auguste, who was waiting for the arrival of the real dragon, suddenly sank.

"You're ruining your last chance at survival!"

Hearing this, Nick sneered: "Pete, you always look like you're self-righteous.

It really makes me sick!"

"Nick Ogas, you are no longer a member of the royal family, and you cannot set foot in the palace without a summons. Bruce Medici stood up: "Because you plotted to kill the emperor, I will sentence you to death for the crime of killing the emperor!"

"Royal knights and janissaries, recognize who your allegiance is, and immediately drag out Nick Ogas, who plotted to kill the king, and execute him!"

However, the royal knights and royal guards were determined to follow the second prince.

Ignore the Prime Minister's words.

"Didn't you hear?"

Bruce Medici expected that these people would not abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and with a wave of his hand, the transcendents who were ambushed in the palace appeared with soldiers.

The nobles loyal to the crown prince drew their swords and sided with the new emperor and the prime minister.

The hall was suddenly tense!

Nick August, the second prince who conspired to kill the king, led his troops to break into the palace hall where the enthronement ceremony was held, and his intention to usurp the throne and establish himself was very obvious.

Peter August, who is about to become emperor, will not be merciful.

Both sides are doomed to life and death today!

The elder Gendry Bourbon, who had been silent all along, slowly walked to the side of his son, Henrithe Bourbon.

In the main hall, the nobles who did not immediately draw their swords and stood on the side of the crown prince, after hesitation, some chose orthodoxy, some chose fiefs and rights, and followed the Bourbon Grand Duke to support the second prince Nick Auguste.

The neutral wall-riders don't want to join either side.

was blocked by both sides of tacit understanding.

Don't let them go!

Today, all the nobles who enter the palace can only support the orthodox crown prince, or the usurping second prince.

Neutrality at both ends of the first rat is not allowed!

"His Royal Highness Pete, His Highness Nick, Prime Minister, Duke of Bourbon, we don't want to be swept into the whirlpool. ”

Hearing the words of the representative of the neutral aristocracy, Henrithe Bourbon snorted coldly: "No one has a choice of a third today.

You can only die of change.

Or win for the sake of perpetuating the honor of the generations!"

The first Emperor Adams August's song change had achieved a great advantage, reclaiming the realms and rights of the imperial realm and all the nobles in the middle.

And the nobles of the neutral faction, for the most part, are victims.

Since there is no third option.

For their own benefit, the honor passed down by their ancestors.

The neutrals can only take risks: "Your Highness Nick, I heard that you are willing to return the fiefs and rights that belong to us?"

Hearing the inquiry, Nick August felt the scales of victory.

I have already leaned towards oneself to a great extent!

"Of course, I will restore the empire to its original state and keep it prosperous!

Never damage the foundation!"

Hearing this, Peter August shook his head at his brother's stupidity, his face full of disappointment, to this day, the development of the empire has reached a bottleneck, and the nobility is the shackles that limit the empire from becoming stronger.

I can't even see this clearly.

For the sake of the throne, he also sacrificed all the achievements of his father's efforts.

It's simply turning back the clock on history!

If so.

The future of the empire will not be a little stronger, but more and more weak!

Everyone knows that the tide of the times is rolling in.

And the empire does not advance or retreat!

"On the heterotopic plane, everyone has understood the future as seen by the prophets, and after discussion, they are willing to make changes and concessions. Pete August coldly glanced at the profit-hungry nobleman and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to oppose your blood ancestors?"

Nick shook his head and sneered: "Now that the teleportation array of the heterotopic plane has been cut off, it's not up to you to say anything."

Don't talk nonsense, let's do it!"

"Kill!"

As soon as the second prince gave the order, Henrithe Bourbon immediately raised his sword and shouted, allowing the powerful royal knights and royal guards to charge.

In the face of a menacing and powerful enemy, the nobles on the side of the crown prince and the prime minister are full of apprehension.

Think that the strength on their side is not strong enough.

However.

A heaven-shattering dragon roar sounded, and the crystal dragon, which was shining all over the morning light, descended on the sky above the imperial capital.

Longwei horror!

It was so overwhelming that all civilians couldn't raise their heads.

In the palace hall, Pete, who presided over the ceremony, was blessed by the dragon's power, and controlled the dragon's power to press like a mountain against his younger brother who intended to usurp the throne, as well as the old Gendry Bourbon, Henrite Bourbon and other nobles.

"You have all forgotten one thing, I am an orthodox true dragon descendant!"

"The heir to the throne who has been protected by the dragons!"

"Any conspiracy to try to harm the Son of the True Dragon is doomed to be in vain!"

The royal knights and royal janissary officers whose strength had reached the golden rank were all unable to move under the dragon's might, and their faces were full of horror.

As the crystal dragon landed in mid-air.

A little girl with dragon horns, without putting away her wings and tail, flew into the ceremonial hall with sleepy eyes and a yawn.

He took the dragon-shaped crown and handed it directly to the top of Pete's head.

Don't look at the dragon as just a child's form.

As super immortals, their real age is definitely thousands of times that of ordinary people!

"No!"

Seeing the dragon lady appear, Nick August roared and took out a crystal, and then frantically entered the supernatural power.

"Peng~"

The crystal only bloomed for a second with a dazzling blue light.

The next moment it explodes!

Flying dust......

"Huh?"

The crystal dragon girl in a daze stopped the action of coronating Pete, and looked at Nick, who was evacuated by the crystal explosion and his extraordinary power.

The exploding crystals did not damage anyone.

Bruce Medici, who activated the magic protection scroll, shook his head, and said to the crystal dragon girl who stopped moving, "Your Majesty the dragon, please continue to complete the emperor's coronation ceremony." ”

The Crystal Dragon Girl retracted her gaze: "Oh. ”

"Huh......"

Before the crown was on Pete's head, she stopped moving, her brow furrowed, and she looked cute.

But the sleepy-eyed confusion on his face is no more.

exudes terrifying coercion.

"Boom~!!"

No one reacted, and they didn't understand what was going on, and a terrifying suction force appeared above the main hall.

A strange black hole vortex unleashes a ghostly light that envelops the dragon girl!

The Crystal Dragon Maiden came to her senses and unleashed all her strength, regaining her dragon form.

But I didn't expect it.

Under the shadow of the ghostly light, the crystal dragon could not return to its normal size, and turned into a pocket dragon the size of a human girl!

"Roar~!!"

"Quick!" "You guys give it to me!" "Take the opportunity to kill Pete August!"

Nick August, who fell to the ground weakly, used his last strength to roar and order.

Hearing this, the royal knight chief and other golden powerhouses immediately resisted the dragon's might, and roared with all their strength to attack the crown prince, prime minister and others next to the crystal dragon shrouded in ghostly light, understanding what the failure of usurpation would be.

They chose to fight to the death!

"Roar~!!"

The crystal dragon was resisting the strange ghost light and suction, and when he saw the Knight Commander and others of the Golden Rank rushing towards him, he immediately thought that they were going to attack him!

Immediately erupt in rage and spit hot dragon breath!

Boom ————

The bright light occupies everyone's sight.

Cause blindness!

After a while, when everyone's eyes returned to normal in the messy hall, they found that the royal knight chief and other gold-rank powerhouses who rushed towards the crown prince and the prime minister were all turned into charcoal.

And most of the crystal dragon's dragon breath sprayed onto the ghostly light!

Dragon Flame that burns the golden powerhouse.

It's just the aftermath of the high heat!

The suction of the strange black hole was hard to resist, and the ghost light trapped the crystal dragon, making it impossible to break free and leave.

The crown prince and the prime minister next to him tried their best.

The use of various magic scrolls in succession could not help the crystal dragon in the slightest.

Ultimately.

Under the ghostly light, the crystal dragon, which has become more and more miniaturized, roars unwillingly and is swallowed by the black hole!

"Guys, we still have a chance!"

Seeing that Crown Prince Pete had not been crowned and had lost the protection of the Crystal Dragon, Henrithe Bourbon immediately shouted at everyone, "Kill them!"

"Embrace His Royal Highness Nick as emperor!"

"Kill!"

At this point, the nobles who chose their interests to help the second prince usurp the throne have no way out.

To fail is to lose everything.

So.

They have to win!

"Kill~!!"

The bloody palace change has officially kicked off!

The emperor's residence, the court's place where ministers handled government affairs, became a battlefield where corpses and stumps roamed.

Although the royal knights of the gold rank and other strong men died from the dragon's breath.

But the Royal Knights and the Royal Praetorian Guard still have many silver-tier transcendents.

In the face of Martin Burns, Jackson Augas, Roderick Fox and others, who have experienced counterinsurgency and crusades, have rich combat experience, and have also studied in different planes, they are not left behind.

The strength of both sides is evenly matched!

A great battle broke out in the palace.

Imperial Territory Outside the Imperial Capital.

Receiving orders from Grand Duke Bruce Medici, the Eastern Frontier forces secretly assembled and quietly passed through the central part and entered the Imperial Domain.

Unexpectedly.

The southern troops set up an ambush on the road, and when they were about to reach the imperial capital, they also unknowingly stepped into a trap and were immediately attacked by a sudden onslaught!

As the second son of the Grand Duke of the East, Giovanni Medici was extremely talented in business.

Also proficient in military affairs!

It is very clear why they fell into the trap laid by the enemy......

It's an inner ghost!

Someone betrayed their whereabouts!

But.

Falling into the trap of the enemy, the generals and soldiers were caught off guard, and it was no longer possible to organize the soldiers to counterattack.

Enraged, Giovanni Medici could only flee in disarray.

To the west of the imperial capital.

Steven Castell, summoned by the Bourbons, and Reinaldo Reyes, summoned by Prime Minister Bruce Medici, have united and reached the west gate of the imperial capital.

The defenders who took over the protection of the West Gate and the walls were loyal to Crown Prince Pete Auguste because of the orders of Prime Minister Bruce Medici.

The gatekeeper recognized Reinaldo Reyes' banner.

They will also be let into the city.

But after discovering the banner of Steven Cassdeley, the commander of the West, immediately hesitated whether to open the door.

"Reinaldo Reyes, did you follow the Prime Minister's order to lead troops into the imperial capital?"

Hearing the officer at the city gate asking, Reinado replied loudly: "That's right!"

"Then are you loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Reinado nodded: "Of course!"

"Is Earl Steven Cassley coming to the imperial capital this time to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Steven chuckled and nodded: "Loyal to His Majesty the new Emperor Peter August!"

The officers guarding the gates weren't stupid enough to let Steven and Reinaldo into the city with their troops just because they didn't say a word.

"How do you prove it?"

"That's it. Steven slowly stepped forward as he pulled a letter from his bosom.

Seeing this, the officer immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered his subordinates, and said, "Please Earl Cessdeley put the letter on the basket, let me read it first......"

He wasn't done yet.

Unnoticed, Reinaldo Reyes immediately drew his bow and shot the officer at the head of the city to death.

Then he beat his horse with a halberd and galloped towards the city gate.

"Roar~!!"

The war horse is like a dragon, blessed by extraordinary power, and it is like a dragon leaping immediately, and it instantly takes the master to the top of the city.

Reinado was vindictive.

The officers and soldiers defending the city who found out that Shangguan had been killed were still panicked and did not react.

The halberd slaughtered the city walls!

Taking advantage of the time to speak, Steven also commanded the soldiers to attack the city with a ladder, and ordered the shield men to protect the wood and slam the door.

"Rush~" "Kill!" "Siege!"

The soldiers quickly climbed the western wall of the capital through a ladder, and then went on a killing spree after the invincible Reinado.

The shouts of killing and fighting soon resounded in the west of the city.

The halberd is like the scythe of death.

Under the leadership of Reinado, in the blink of an eye, he killed from the city wall to the city gate, and as soon as the halberd was raised, the city gate was opened without accident.

"Reinado, go to the palace right now!"

Steven Casdeley, who led the soldiers into the city, was in high spirits: "The future.......

will be in the palm of our hand!"

...... To be continued......
