When the legendary mage sent Lorraine and the others away, the old emperor was standing in the main hall of the Mirror Palace silently watching the dark sky, and the intelligence officers had already reported to the nobles to confirm that they had joined forces with the Norman army and were deploying the army, and he did nothing but tell the royal general Battuso to be on guard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A feeling of exhaustion came over his body, the old emperor who used to be brave and good at fighting now has to admit that he is old, and he can't fight those bastards, although he has accepted his fate many years ago, but today there is really no room for maneuver.

He has long known the contradictions of various classes in the imperial capital, and the reform of magical industrialization has indeed spread to the whole empire, but it is the aristocracy who controls all of this, and the former landlord has not changed much to become a capitalist, but the people have changed from farming to factory workers, and there is often no salary at all.

He once wanted to implement a better wage system and improved production mode in the territory directly under the royal family, but he couldn't beat those nobles at all, because they could still get slaves who didn't want wages, and the production cost couldn't compare with the other party, and they had to bear the other party's crazy dumping and smashing plates, even if it was a threat of force, it could not be implemented because of the denial of the previous emperor, but the nobles unscrupulously vented their force, and finally the royal family lost its power completely.

The old squire walked over silently, holding the armor he had worn in his hand, "Is there any point in you still taking this thing?" The old emperor said with a wry smile to his attendant, who was also a brother.

"It's going to be a long battle after dawn, so it's safer to be prepared early." This was the old squire's answer, although the popularity of firearms had made these armors a little outdated, but the emperor's equipment was undoubtedly very good, even if it was a volley of guns at close range or even a small artillery attack at close range.

"But this is a political struggle, old man, belonging to our era creates loneliness, the ministers and nobles in front of the armor are not confident in themselves, if I really do this, it will undoubtedly give the other party a more suitable excuse to make trouble."

"But you have to be on guard, if those people really want to assassinate you, who else can stop them?"

"Do you believe General Battuso......?"

The old squire walked out of the darkness, his eyes revealing a certain insistence, "I fully believe in the loyalty and ability of General Battuso and the royal guards, but they have less than three thousand people, and your opponent has at least thirty thousand troops, and you have no other bargaining chips but your life, my Imperial Majesty." ”

The old emperor smiled bitterly, yes, after that bloody night in the imperial capital, the aristocratic faction was already a veritable open rebellion, but he did not have the ability to call on the royalist army, because the largest royalist army had disappeared under the attack of the giant god soldiers, and he had never regretted concentrating the army to use it as he did now, but it was directly erased by accident.

Although he can rely on the royal mage to leave the imperial capital, as soon as he leaves, it is estimated that those nobles will say all kinds of unfavorable news about the emperor and then never know where to launch a new emperor, and his third son Clovis and Hasil are very close, most of them are controlled by the other party.

Seeing that the emperor no longer contradicted himself, the old attendant stepped forward to put on his armor, "So it's better to be careful, if there is really an accident, I will accompany you to the end." ”

"Ha, it's worthy of an old bastard, don't be scared to pee your pants when the time comes."

"You too, my brother."

When the sun once again expelled the darkness and rose into the sky, the flags outside the Mirror Palace were like a sea, and there were Norman flags everywhere, and there were many noble flags mixed in them, scattered and dotted inside, which looked a bit nondescript from the sky.

On the contrary, although the royal army is not large in number, but they are neatly groomed, they are under the leadership of General Battuso, carefully guarding to prevent any accidents, and I don't know what's wrong, Pattuso feels that his eyelids are always jumping today, as an insider who knows the inside story of Princess Josephine's departure, he can understand the emperor's moves.

At the thought of Admiral Catherine, who had passed out in a coma, had left the imperial capital together, a warm current drifted through his heart, and he shook his head and saw that Hasil, a bastard, accompanied the third prince Clovis over, and he quickly stood firm and glared at each other.

Seeing that annoying general, Hasil suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and whispered to the prince beside him: "Remember what I told you, if you want to get more, do what I say, understand, Your Highness?" ”

"Okay...... "Host......" Clovis replied slightly, but the answer was too disturbing and too quiet for anyone to notice.

In addition to his eyes being a little dull, His Royal Highness Clovis, the former wolf of the imperial capital, was really dazzling today, showing a charming smile to show everyone what it means to be a prince of art, and today he also brought an armament that he had never carried before, a magic sword that he knew at a glance was a good thing, and a dagger and musket hidden in his waist.

As a royal general, Battuso is responsible for checking everyone's weapons safely, but this prince is the biological son of the old emperor, and he has not received any precautions about him, so he can only reluctantly take away the weapons of others, except for Clovis who walked in fully armed.

Soon, the Norman Emperor Winster? His Majesty Owen also came, as handsome and chic as the previous three princes, but the perennial control of the army and the practice of martial arts made his figure more erect, and the pale knight guards and beautiful female attendants around him looked nothing, but in Battuso's eyes, these two were dangerous characters, and the calluses on the hands of the knight guards and the pace could be seen to be definitely a battlefield warrior, as for the appearance of the female attendant, he thought that he was immune to beauty but only one thing, he smelled the smell of assassins.

The three of them were also taken away from their weapons, but this time he arranged for a small group of royal soldiers to escort them forward, both as guides and as surveillance, and it should be foolproof.

After that, they were all nobles or ministers or something, and even if they gave ten more of these pot-bellied wastes, Battuso could knock them over with one hand, so he didn't care, but I don't know why, these nobles seem to be using the same perfume today, and they smell a faint floral fragrance, as if it is a unique floral fragrance of the East.

When everyone gathered in front of the old emperor, the meeting officially began, although it was expected by the old emperor, but he was still surprised by the demands of these nobles - the emperor must surrender all the rights in his hands, and can only enjoy certain preferential treatment as a national symbol, and must appoint a cabinet with full authority to handle all matters of the empire and the alliance.

"You're trying to make me a pug from now on!? The descendants of the Sylvia Empress have never been so insulted! Of course, the old emperor could not accept such a roar and sprayed the representatives of the nobility opposite.

"But Your Majesty, what you have done is really worthy of the prestige of the empress, look at the situation of the country over the years - food shortage, lack of foreign exchange, backward science and technology, poverty of the people, coupled with repeated defeats in the army, our empire is about to end!"

The old emperor was said to be pale in the face, for various reasons, he did not admit his mistakes, and for a moment he was in a stalemate with the nobles, and turned his head to look at the Norman emperor.

"Don't look at my old man like this, we have always been hostile, I originally wanted to take advantage of it this time, and besides, you don't know if you can survive until the next sunrise, no one knows."

The whole hall became quiet because of the Norman Emperor's words, and suddenly Hasil shouted: "What are you waiting for! Do it! Before the others could react, the mercenaries of the Bolton family disguised as nobles had made a move, thinking that they were definitely not the opponents of the royal guards without weapons, but they didn't expect that the other party was all proficient in hand-to-hand combat!

"Stop them! Everyone stepped forward and sounded the alarm...... "When General Battuso, who had calmed down, was commanding, the sharp blade from the adjutant and the weapons of the team members around him were inserted into the general's body, and the unexpected heavy blow instantly drained his strength, and the general, who was half-kneeling on the ground, barely raised his head to look at the adjutant standing in front of him.

"Why ......?"

"Because the Bolton family is able to give us more, and our family ...... Sorry General. The adjutant's words made Battuso completely resigned, and he closed his eyes gently, and the last thought in the world was the picture of chatting with Catherine in the tavern, and then the knife flashed......

As the fighting slowly stopped, the army loyal to the old emperor was wiped out, leaving only a few frightened guards and old attendants to surround the old emperor with a blank face.

"Hasil, I am not surprised by your two-faced stabbing, but what I didn't expect is that you really colluded with outsiders, do you want to destroy this country?"

Facing the old emperor's questioning, Hasir smiled and waved his hand again, this time the soldiers were targeting their colleagues who belonged to the camp of the aristocratic faction! The only difference is that none of these people agree with the radical faction led by the Bolton family, in principle, they are all moderates who hope to reach a deal with the emperor, but unfortunately one accidentally allows the madman Hasil to find an opportunity and slaughter them in an instant.

"See? This is the bastard who was shot to death by the grief-stricken us after the nobles sent to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, what a good excuse, even the new emperor and I have chosen, come on, Clovis is standing there, wait for the seat under your father's ass to belong to you. ”

The old emperor sadly found that his third son was obeying the other party's orders like a dog at this time, and he was furious at the thought that he would definitely not be spared today, "You are delusional! Don't forget that Clovis is only the third prince, and he also has the crown prince and Juventus on top of him! ”

"So, I'll help you solve some troubles, Your Majesty." Hasir, who was smiling and talking, pulled Juventus, the second prince who was caught, from his subordinates? In Bretania, the gagged young man glared at the enemy, but was directly forced to kneel by the enemy.

"I think the new emperor had better have some taste of iron and blood, Your Majesty Clovis, please."

"Nope! You devil! You can't do this! Clovis, stop! ”

No one's words could make Clovis, who was confused in his eyes, stop, took the other party's long sword, and the expressionless Clovis stood in front of his brother, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds before the third prince raised his weapon high and cut off Juve's head without the slightest melancholy.

The old emperor watched his brothers kill each other but there was nothing he could do, he was no longer as majestic as an emperor, he had lost his past bravery under the wash of time, he was crying like a child at the moment, completely ignoring the death of the guards and the last call of the old attendant.

When he raised his head, the anger and despair in his eyes made people dare not look down, and the Norman Emperor with a joking mood finally became serious, because this was the minimum respect that the king had for another king who was about to die.

"I will curse you in the world after death, you can abuse this country with ecstaty, but Baron and Josephine and thousands of people who love St. Orlando will not let you go, the world is destined to burn, and you will perish!"

"Are these your last words? Your Majesty Clovis, do it. ”

On this day, the only remaining church bell rang in Elcarloen, the thirteenth bell meant the death of the royal family, and the bell of destruction finally rang, ignoring the fact that the crown prince had not yet been revoked, the former third prince Clovis? Bretania became the new emperor with the support of the aristocratic faction, Hasir? Brittania became Minister of War in the new government.

Regardless of the outcome, the shadow of Elcalon finally dissipated, and although the scenery in the sky was extremely bloody, the surviving Lorraine and his companions still had to go down, and the next stop would be the fiery Korsaland Peninsula.
