In the Grand Palace of Constantinople, Mary of Antioch had already slept, and the sleeping palace was silent, and even a needle could be heard falling.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the palace, and the Queen Mother Regent Mary opened her eyes in displeasure, turned her head to look out the window, and the firelight reflected half of the sky, even in the palace, it could be faintly seen, and Mary sat up in a hurry.

"Someone! Come! What happened? "Mary called her attendants in aloud, and it was definitely not a good sign that such a thing would happen in the Emperor's absence.

"Your Majesty, someone has started a rebellion! Now it's coming towards Omiya! The little eunuch who served was already so frightened that his legs trembled, and as the queen mother's attendant, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Mary felt dizzy, it seemed that the sky was about to fall, where would anyone dare to be so bold when her husband was still there, she had never experienced such a thing, how did she know how to deal with it?

"Did any ministers come to the rescue?" Tears poured down Mary's face, how could she, a weak woman with a dead husband, be able to bear such a burden!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please move out of here, I'll lead the troops to resist! ”

The person who came turned out to be Alexios's close confidant eunuch Licinius, who was wearing iron armor and steel helmet at this time, who would have thought that this usually submissive eunuch leader would have more bloody courage than ordinary people at this time.

"Hmm! Then it's all up to you! ”

Mary, who was crying silently, could she have any idea at this time, and her husband's shade in the past had always allowed her to live carefree like a little flower in a greenhouse.

Who knew that Emperor Manuel was defeated by Mileo Sephalon, and soon died of depression, losing the protection of her husband's supernatural tree, and she and her son could not survive for a moment in this troubled world, and this day has come!

"You protect the Queen Mother, if something happens to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, don't come to see me!"

Li Sini's face was hideous, and his fierce eyes made all the little eunuchs who served the Queen Mother tremble, and no one dared to look at Li Sini's eyes.

Especially the sword in his hand is still dripping with blood, I'm afraid that someone has already been killed because he wanted to escape, who would want to be the second?

Seeing the Empress Dowager being escorted away, Li Sini sighed silently, although he was very wary of those great nobles who were plotting to rebel, but the sword of Damocles had only been established for less than a year, and it could not penetrate into the core of the nobles at all.

Therefore, although he sensed that there was an abnormality in the Imperial Forest Army, there was no conclusive evidence, and Licinius could only let these dark rats go unchecked, and he did not expect to taste such a bitter fruit so soon.

Then let's fight to the death!

It's better than falling into the hands of the rebels and being humiliated!

……

……

……

The sound of the battering ram made of giant wood hitting the palace gate made the soldiers guarding the giant gate behind them all frightened, but what made them even more afraid was the eunuch leader Li Sini who had a pair of ghostly eyes in the back.

Collecting the stragglers who fled all the way, Licinius gathered more than 500 people, and the steel sword in his hand had killed four deserters in a row, and the palace guards were forced by Licinius to follow him to guard here.

Fortunately, the rebels were making slow progress, their plans were launched in a hurry and were not too carefully designed, and the palace at night made these soldiers turn around, and finally found the palace gate, but it could not be opened.

Little Ducasse is also a ruthless man, since they are all betrayed, then don't have any scruples, directly transport the battering ram to the gate of the big palace and start to ram, the current court is like an unsuspecting lamb who can be slaughtered at will just when they open the palace gate.

"Archers ready, put!" The sound from behind the palace gate startled little Ducasse, there are still people in the palace who insist on guarding? Who has such guts!

Arrows rained down, and the darkness of the night made it impossible for the rebels to see, but the palace guards knew that the enemy was at the door, and all they had to do was open their bows and arrows.

Sharp arrows penetrated through his body, and several rebel warriors fell in a pool of blood and struggled, this is different from what he said, he shouldn't have robbed in the palace, why did he die so easily? The sound of hehehehe in the mouth was accompanied by blood foaming out.

Little Ducasse looked at the panicked rebel soldiers, his heart was annoyed, he didn't know that this time should be encouraged to give the soldiers hope, but instead stepped forward and cut down the two rebel soldiers who were stunned and immovable.

"Keep attacking! Whoever dares to fear the enemy, these two are role models! Little Ducasse's words woke up the rebel soldiers, and their eyes turned vicious when they looked at him, when had they been in the Guards of Constantinople!

But the rebel soldiers had no choice but to turn around and continue to push the battering ram to hit the palace gate, and the lime on the walls was all knocked down, as if the palace gate would collapse at any time, which added countless courage to the rebel soldiers.

"Take a ladder and climb in from the wall! The reward for opening the palace gate for me is 1,000 gold coins! Little Ducasse seemed to have enlightened himself, shouting and offering a reward to the soldiers, and such a rich reward was enough to make the rebel soldiers sell their lives.

"Kill! Kill it! Kill it! ”

The rebel soldiers all set up ladders, raised their knives and climbed to the wall, and for a moment the battle at the palace gate seemed to be about to end, and little Ducasse was excited, without Isaac's bastard, he could have achieved something himself!

"Shoot!"

In the courtyard of the palace behind, the lit torches illuminated the palace wall, and two hundred archers fired straight at the same time, and the arrows flew out again, and the scream of "oops" broke the dream of little Ducasse, and the death squad fell to the ground, and their bodies were shot like hedgehogs.

"Oops!" Little Ducasse angrily smashed his shield on the ground, the calm and composure of the past had long since disappeared, and he had just been like a bamboo, but now he was blocked by a palace gate, and his handsome face had been distorted.

A glimmer of fierceness flashed in the eyes of little Ducasse, the second group of soldiers who climbed the palace wall no longer dared to step forward as recklessly as before, they all leaned over and quietly poked their heads, the bad habit of the Royal Forest Army for many years of pampering and not being able to fight tough battles has been completely exposed.

If this situation continues, let alone tonight, and don't even think about attacking the palace tomorrow. Now the city defense of Constantinople was caught off guard by the sudden mutiny, and it was impossible to slow down.

But when the day comes, the enemy and the enemy are clear, and the Qinwang troops from various regions who have received the news will rush over and attack the Royal Forest Army together with the guards in the palace, and then there will be no place to die.

Little Ducasse was secretly ruthless in his heart, and if he had the opportunity to deal with this group of royal forest soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, he would definitely punish them, but now he could only continue to coax them into battle in various ways, forcing them to fight back, and he would die if he hit them back!
