Chapter 44: Reshuffle

"It's damn weather, it's really not good!" The royal guards standing outside Allen's Manor cursed, and although they stood under the eaves, the wind brought the rain in and wet the guards' shoes and pants.

"Alright, focus!" The captain of the guard gave a stern reprimand and told the guards to return to their posts.

"Captain, General Jupitt is here."

Hearing the announcement from the guards beside him, the captain of the royal guard immediately stood up. It didn't take long for a tall figure to appear in the rain, and then came in front of the captain of the guard in three steps and two steps.

"Hello General!" The captain of the guard immediately saluted.

Jupitt took off his cloak and shook off the rain on his body before he spoke: "Captain, don't be polite, how are things going?"

The captain of the guard immediately said respectfully: "General, don't worry, those slaves are still fighting in the manor, you listen, you can still hear the shouting and killing inside."

Jupitt listened quietly for a moment. Sure enough, as the captain of the guard said, the shouting and killing in the manor was intense, and it was the last moment of the battle.

Jubidian nodded and reminded: "Don't be careless, this mission is very important, it is an order personally issued by His Royal Highness, if there is any omission, we will all lose our heads!"

The captain of the guard immediately replied, "Yes!" I promise that I will not disappoint Your Highness. After the captain of the guard expressed his determination, he asked flatteringly, "General, didn't you bring your two-handed swordsman brigade?"

Jupitt frowned and said sharply: "You don't need to know what you shouldn't know!"

"Yes! My lord!" Seeing Jupitt's reprimand, the captain of the guard immediately retreated in panic.

Jupitt was the captain of a two-handed swordsman brigade in Charles II's elite troops. Naturally, he was a close general who was deeply trusted by Charles II. So he is not a nobleman though. But in terms of status, he is still too much higher than the captain of the guard.

And the question of the captain of the guard also touched on Jupit's pain. Fight with Moslian. It really hurt Charles II's vitality. Not to mention that there is not one in the regular army, just look at the most elite two-handed swordsman brigade, which has also suffered casualties. This is also the reason for Jupitt's heartache.

The two-handed swordsman is not a class that can be reorganized quickly, the two-handed swordsman is from the large and small nobles of the Anmuxi Kingdom, and only those nobles who are deeply influenced by swordsmanship have the ability to have time to train for a long time and master a variety of swordsmanship. Therefore, it will take at least three or five years to form a new two-handed swordsman brigade.

So Jupiter, who has now become the commander of the light pole, can only helplessly go to the royal guard to go around. He understood very well that Charles II would not have to wait long. As long as he can take command of the Royal Guard before Charles II abdicates, he will be able to regain his usefulness.

Just as Jupitt was thinking about his future, suddenly a bright light in the distance caught his attention. The light wasn't lightning, because it was from the bottom up, and it exploded in the sky at the end.

"Someone! Let's go see who's there!" Jupitt quickly gave the order. Tonight's events were too important to add any other variables, and Jupitt instinctively felt uneasy.

Sure enough, not long after that light rose into the sky, there was a commotion on the west side of Allen's manor.

The uneasiness in Jupitt's heart exploded, driving him to walk out of the room quickly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The captain of the guard came to Jupit's side and comforted: "The general is not impatient. It must be those slaves who want to escape, and it will be fine. ”

Jupitt glanced at the captain of the guard. Nervously pacing back and forth.

The next moment, one of the guards ignored the heavy rain and rushed towards Jupiter.

"Captain, those slaves have escaped!"

"What!" Jupitt shuddered when he heard this.

"How is that possible? Didn't I tell you to stay outside?" The captain of the guard was also taken aback, and immediately reprimanded angrily after reacting.

The guard felt the captain's anger and replied tremblingly, "Captain, that slave is too strong. In the blink of an eye, dozens of our brothers died at his hands. It's really unbeatable. The guard felt a palpitation as if he had just remembered the man.

"You're ......!" The captain of the guard wanted to curse again, but Jupit, who was on the side, burst out loud and interrupted the captain's words.

"Enough! Now is not the time to talk about that. In which direction did those slaves go?"

The guard trembled and said, "Xiang ...... To the west. ”

After a little thought, Jubitt immediately ordered: "Immediately lead the troops to the west gate, and they cannot be allowed to escape from Ammuxi." Also, most of these slaves are from Paris, and they must also take people to the South Gate, and they must not be allowed to escape! The rest of the people followed me after them!"

"That'...... Inside the manor? Would you like to confirm? The captain of the guard asked cautiously.

Jupitt let out a breath and said, "I can't control so much now, and it's the most important thing to control those slaves first." Jupitt knew that there was a man in that group of slaves called the Dragon Slayer, and if he was allowed to return to Paris, he would definitely pose a serious threat to Ammusi.

At the same time, after breaking through the defense line of the royal guards, Constance and the rest of the gladiators moved quickly through the city of Ammusi.

"Constance! What do we do now?" A slave asked breathlessly at Constance, who was walking ahead.

Constance stopped and looked at the gladiators, mostly scarred, with just over a dozen men left behind him. He said solemnly: "With our current strength alone, it is absolutely impossible to escape from Anmuxi City, so we need more strength."

"Is there anyone else going to help us?" One of the people next to him said suspiciously.

Constance shook his head, but without waiting for the people around him to bow their heads in disappointment, he quickly said, "What we can rely on is ourselves." What we need to do now is to free our companions who are trapped in the arena just like us. Only with the power of the people, then there is nothing to fear. ”

Everyone looked at Constance, and the tall figure seemed to release infinite brilliance. Looking at Constance's determined eyes. It was as if a surge of power poured out of the body. They desperately wanted to follow Constance.

"Constance, we believe in you, let's go!"

Constance looked at everyone with satisfaction, nodded heavily and said, "Go!"

The gladiators and the royal guards moved at the same time, and Allen's manor had no intention of calming down after the fighting had stopped.

"Lord Duke, we lost eighty-three people and wounded one hundred and five in this battle. At present, there are still 340 people who still have combat effectiveness. Leonardo reported as he stood beside Allen.

Alan nodded. After thinking for a while, he solemnly said to Leonardo: "Leo, immediately gather all the fighters who are still fighting and we are going to act."

Leonardo immediately clenched his fists and said, "Lord Duke, what is the goal?"

Alan raised his head, nodded his chin in the direction of the palace, and said with a smile: "Target, Charles II!"

While the city of Ammuxi was in turmoil, the royal palace of Charles II was as calm as a lake, without a trace of waves. Charles II was weak and could not hold on. It's been a long time since the break. But Prince Edward did not feel sleepy, and he did not know if he felt anything.

A faint light lit in Edward's room. The dim glow of the fire could only touch a small area around it. Once the light is far away, it disappears into the endless darkness. Edward stared at the glimmer of fire as if he were looking at hope.

A bright light flashed outside the window, but Edward didn't notice it, and he kept his eyes on the fire until a knock on the door woke him up.

Edward forced himself to compose, but instead of stopping, the knock on the door became more rapid. A trace of irritability rose in Edward's heart, and he suddenly opened the door and shouted in a low voice, "What's the matter?!"

The doorman's guards were startled by Edward's sudden opening of the door, and were about to kneel down and beg for mercy, but immediately remembered what they were about to say after hearing Edward's question.

"Your Royal Highness, General Jupiter sent someone back to report. The slaves had broken out of the royal guards, and were now fleeing in the city of Ammusi. ”

"What?! Damn, what the hell are they going to do!" Edward was stunned for a moment, then burst into anger and shouted loudly.

Seeing Edward's big reaction, the guard hurriedly continued: "Your Royal Highness, rest assured, General Jupitt has personally led people to chase after him. He sent people back to report that even if there was a slight movement in the city, he asked His Royal Highness not to worry too much. ”

"Jupitt, this piece of shit, can't do this thing well. I don't need to worry, things are so messed up that I don't need to worry. Edward cursed Jupitt as he walked restlessly back and forth around the room.

After walking back and forth a few times, Edward finally couldn't calm down and said, "Don't sleep, I'll go to the study."

The guard at the door immediately replied respectfully, and then helped Edward carry the lamp and led Edward into the study, and then arranged for the maids to light the stove and prepare hot coffee and snacks.

Edward walked into the study, where Charles II had spent most of his previous stay. Edward slowly made his way to a gilded chair behind his desk, stroking the smooth pear wood table. Remembering that Charles II dealt with the country's crises countless times here, making countless decisions that affected the lives and deaths of thousands of people. Edward suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if Charles II had given him strength.

Edward pulled out a book and flipped through it slowly, not reading a single word, but it was the only way he could distract himself. He was waiting for the last news, and only when the news arrived, he could sleep peacefully.

I don't know how long it took for Edward to wake up with a loud shout. The thunderstorm outside the window seemed to be a little lighter, and the thunder gradually subsided.

Edward walked to the window and looked out, dozens of torches were lit in the courtyard in front of the palace, and about two or three hundred people were approaching the palace.

Edward scolded secretly, this damn Jupiter really can't do things, how can he bring someone over directly, isn't it a big deal? I don't know why my father trusts him so much.

The light of the fire soon came to the palace, and Edward finally saw it clearly.

These people are not royal guards at all!

Alan kicked one of the guards guarding the palace gate out of the way. The guards who flew out upside down smashed directly at the main entrance of the palace.

Charles II's palace was not on guard at all, and Alan led his army to quickly kill the guards on the periphery of the palace before rushing straight into the palace.

"Leo! Arrest Charles II and Edward immediately!" As soon as Allen gave the order, the three hundred and forty soldiers behind him immediately took action, divided into small teams and began to search.

"Your Royal Highness, let's go!" One of the guards kicked open the door to the study, grabbed Edward's hand and dragged him out.

Edward hadn't reacted at this time, and asked in a daze, "What happened?" Who are those people?"

The guard dragged Edward and replied quickly, "Your Royal Highness, the Duke of Ouranos has rebelled, and he has taken the palace with his troops!"

"What!" Isn't Ouranos supposed to die? How...... How so? Edward couldn't figure out why Alan wasn't killed, where did his soldiers come from, and why he broke into the palace with his soldiers, did he really not want to live?

"Here it is! Edward is here!" Allen's soldiers had just gone up to the second floor when they saw Edward being dragged along. There was no need to identify him, Edward's ornate decoration had already revealed his identity.

The guards looked at Allen's soldiers, who heard the shouts coming, and hid Edward behind him and shouted, "Your Royal Highness, Prince, go away!"

But in the blink of an eye, before Edward could take a step, the guards in front of him who were protecting him were hacked to death by the sword, and he fell weakly.

"Don't kill me, I'm the prince of Ambush!" Edward didn't have the courage to turn around, he was afraid that if he turned his head, the blood-stained knight's sword would pierce his chest.

The soldiers stopped and did not kill themselves with ferocity, much to Edward's comfort. But the next moment, he was tied up by Wuhuada, and then dragged in front of Alan like a dead dog.

It's still the same study, but this person has changed.

Alan walked around the study casually twice, looking at the decoration, gorgeous and low-key, unique and not cluttered. Finally, he nodded, as if he had given a hint of affirmation to the Stuart royal family's study taste.

And Edward, who was tied up and thrown at his feet by five flowers in front of him, is the best irony.

Alan sat down on the chair that Edward had just made, looked at Edward who was lying on the ground in front of him and said softly: "Your Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Hearing this, Edward raised his head on the ground, his bound body restricting his movements, so that he could only look up at Alan with difficulty. A great sense of humiliation filled Edward's chest, as if it had driven away all the original fears.

Edward glared at Alan and said, "Ouranos, do you know what you're doing? You are treason! Your fate is death!"

Alan quietly listened to Edward's curses and threats, and then easily plucked out his ears and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, scold twice, I may not be able to hear your voice in the future."

Edward was shocked, what do you mean? Is he going to kill me? But I am a royal family, and the execution of a royal heir is a great matter, isn't he afraid that the nobles of the world will crusade against him? By the way, anyway, he dared to do such a thing, and he was not ready to retreat.

Edward suddenly fell silent, so much so that Alan raised an eyebrow, and he thought that Edward would keep scolding.

"Lord Duke, Charles II has brought it!" Leonardo's voice interrupted the thoughts of the two men in the study, and they both looked at each other.

And Charles II, who in Allen's impression is a wolf and eagle vision, an emperor with a heroic appearance. At this time, he was so weak that he was supported by two soldiers and dragged in front of Allen. (To be continued.) )
