As night fell, the ancient city of Nicaea seemed to be over for a while, and fell into a deep sleep like the citizens of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In reality, however, peace is far from coming. On the contrary, the fire that was surging in the earth was already about to erupt and consume everything in the city.

At this time, the storm on the sea had gradually subsided, and the sea outside the city of Nicaea was calm. The naval forces of the Kingdom of Nicaea are anchored in the harbor, and most of them have already rested in the barracks, but there are still troops on board at this time, such as the Kingdom's only ironclad ship [St. Mary]. Captain Prokhanov leisurely crossed his legs in his captain's cabin, enjoying the rare imported tobacco, and watching the calm sea and the faint lights of the city mingle, he also enjoyed a rare timidity. Although he had to abandon the Seljuk Turks after being ordered to hunt down General Merides, this in itself allowed the Kingdom of Nicaea to achieve its goals, so Plekhanov was not shocked. He can also be at ease again.

But more importantly, Plekhanov himself actually didn't bother to pay attention to the mess of Nicaea. At the beginning, he was the main battle faction of the new Roman Empire, and it was he who repelled the crusading navy that allowed the remnants of the new Roman Empire to survive, and Plekhanov was of course full of hope, but the actions of the nobles of the Kingdom of Nicaea eventually made him lose hope. Now he would rather waste his time like this, drink and smoke to pass the time, and he no longer has the original ideal......

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door outside the room. Who will be looking for you at this time?

"Please come in." Plekhanov didn't bother to get up, the door was not locked anyway.

And it was his first mate John who walked in from outside the door, the young man from a noble background, although Plekhanov did not like his identity, but he still liked this child very much in his heart. He hadn't been completely corrupted by aristocratic life, at least for now, and the heart of his fist was still beating in his chest. But Plekhanov also understood that many things could not be changed by one or two people, and even young men like John could not change the fact that Nicaea was becoming more and more decadent.

It is for this reason that Plekhanov's attitude towards John has always been a love of answers. More of a perfunctory one, and at this point John was seen in the captain's cabin. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. At such a time, how can such a "good child" appear here.

"Is there anything wrong, John?"

"It's a big deal, Captain!" I saw a nervous look on the young man's face, but his voice had just fallen, and he only listened-

"Boom!"

Red flames and black smoke intertwined, and the deafening explosion directly set off a raging fire tornado in the center of the city. The whole earth trembled, and even Plekhanov at sea could feel the power of the explosion.

Could it be that the arsenal was blown up? This was Plekhanov's first reaction, but he quickly dismissed the idea. That's absolutely impossible, that location is not an arsenal! The only thing that can be strong is-

Someone coup d'état!?

Plekhanov immediately reacted to what was going on, for the new Roman Empire, coups have never been strangers, from military mutiny to relatives meddling in politics, and then from cannibalism between royal families, this kind of thing is simply accustomed to it.

And everything that King Mikael has done in recent years provoked such an armed coup Plekhanov is not at all surprised, and it is at a time when such a country is in internal and external difficulties. But although he did not like the nobles, Plekhanov already knew that he could not remain indifferent.

"What the hell is going on, John?"

……

"Everything went well for the fourth team."

"The third and second teams have already exchanged fire with Nicaea! Note that the third and second teams have already exchanged fire with the Nicaeans! ”

"The first team has broken through the enemy army, and the first team has broken through the enemy defense zone!"

With a rapid radio signal, the dispatch army of the New Brad Kingdom has successfully entered the center of the city under the instigation of the rebels in the city of Nicaea. The small but elite troops broke through the loose defenses inside, and the Nicene army was simply vulnerable, not to mention the rebel army of the nobles among them.

And Duke Andrews, who was in charge, was mockingly looking into the distance, the Kingdom of Nicaea thought it could compete with them, but it had already been completely corrupted to the bone. And today the fate of this country will be completely ended.

"Your Royal Highness, what should we do now?" The purpose of the New Brad Kingdom this time is to assist the noble coup d'état to completely eradicate the threat of Mikael, and as the executor, Duke Andrews naturally needs him to command everything.

The composed-looking man took the communicator and immediately gave the order.

"Your troops continue to assault, take the hangar at all costs, and must not let the knights of the Nicaean move." Duke Andrews repeatedly stressed that they had only a limited number of men to be dispatched for this operation, and that it was impossible to use heavy weapons, so if the knights of the Kingdom who were effectively loyal to King Mikael were dispatched, the consequences would be unimaginable. But don't worry - the rebel nobles still have a small number of mecha troops, and for now, they have an absolute advantage.

"Understood!" On the other side of the radio, the commandos received the order and immediately took action.

For a time, Nicaea was also facing the same catastrophe as the city of Trebizond, but behind the seemingly coincidence was actually an inevitability. From the dissolution of the New Roman Empire, these things were already doomed, and no one could have allowed the Herod to make a comeback. The Turks in the east wanted to continue encroaching on Anatolia, and the Rastines in the west were even more concerned about the interests of the Balkans. The old empire should have rested in peace, people were thoroughly tired of it, and it should have withdrawn from the stage of history with interest. With the fall of Trabizon and the capitulation of Epirus and Achaia, the successors of the new Roman Empire have withdrawn from the stage of history, and it is only natural that Nicaea will be the last to do so.

"Stop them! Block them! ”

Already in a frenzy, the gendarmerie of Nicaea never expected that their city would suffer such a catastrophe, and the army was also alarmed, and the stragglers could only barely resist the rebels and enemy forces in the alleys.

"Captain, we can't stand it! Withdraw! ”

"Just kidding, do you think we're still running now? Resist first, wait for support! ”

The night sky is full of barrages, dazzling, but these things lurk deadly threats, just one stray bullet is enough to kill, when there are dangerous barrages everywhere, then there will be no safe place to speak.

The gendarmerie is only a paramilitary armed force, and even with fully automated weapons, it is impractical to compete with a well-trained army. More importantly, they also discovered that there were betrayers within Nicaea, who had been betrayed. At this moment, there is no other way but to wait for military support.

……

"Looks like they're finally getting started." Mikael listened to the explosions and gunshots outside the palace, but he seemed very calm, even though he already knew that those nobles would betray him, but he seemed confident and not very worried. In the palace, heavily armed guards guarded the place, and King Mikael's cronies were also by his side. For this operation, he had already prepared for it.

"They're ready to move, Your Majesty!"

So what should we do now? Do you want to start now? ”

The cronies around him all seem to be gearing up, and these henchmen should have been completely eradicated. At this point, they were ready to let the damned traitors and Nicaeans fall into their own trap.

But King Mikael waved his hand and said, "Don't act rashly yet, this is not the time for us to do it." How many people were sent by the New Brad Kingdom, even with the help of the Seljuks, we don't know how many of those rebellious nobles were. If we're not careful, we could end up in crisis. ”

"Yes!"

"How's the hangar?" Mikael asked, because the matter was urgent and confidential, so they hadn't greeted anyone from the army before, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about it. After all, if the rebels get hold of it, the mechs could pose a great threat.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Seljuks have promised that they will deal with it there, and there should be no matter." The attendants on the side replied that they had met with the Seljuk envoys before to learn that the nobles of the country had reached a secret agreement with the New Bullard Kingdom in an attempt to subvert them. And tonight's coup, they have all been deployed.

But King Mikael couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but be shocked and said angrily, "What ...... you say?" ”

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" The bewildered squires were stunned at once as they could not understand why their king was angry.

"How can you let the Seljuks deal with that kind of critical place?!" Mikael couldn't help but exclaim, although they were working with those Turks now, he couldn't fully trust the woman anyway. If he is not careful, he may be calculated, and he has to be cautious, but it is definitely too late now.

Come to think of it - now the rebels and the Rastines have their eyes on it.

……

"His Royal Highness the Duke, His Royal Highness the Duke, our department has arrived at the target area and requests instructions for the next step!"

Andrews, who was commanding all this outside the city, received a report from his own troops, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, the target area was the hangar where the Nicaean mechs were parked, and for him, as long as he captured it, it would mean that everything was over, and Mikael would have no chance to resist again.

But there was a slight silence on the other side for a moment, which immediately made Duke Andrews sense that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"Those people are here too!"

"Those people" refers to the noble rebels of Nicaea. At this time, in the city of Nicaea, outside the hangar of the mecha, the special forces and rebels of the New Brad Kingdom arrived here at the same time.

"Tsk—they're keen." Andrews, who wanted to control the situation in one fell swoop, sneered slightly, obviously the other party was not so stupid. But looking at it now, it's inevitable to have a bit of a rip-off.

"What to do, Your Highness the Duke?"

"Minimize conflict as much as possible." Immediately, Andrews gave the order, for the time being there is no need to push it to the opposite side, since the plan has not been fully achieved, then make a slight concession!

Originally, the enemy of both sides was Mikael, the king of Nicaea, but the two sides who had reached an agreement met at this time as if they were tense, and it didn't seem so pleasant. Duke Andrews can see the importance of the hangar, and the rebellious nobles also understand this, if it falls into the hands of the Rastins, I am afraid that the complete annexation of the Kingdom of Nicaea will become inevitable. They don't want to make wedding dresses for others.

The vigilant aristocratic armed forces aimed their weapons at the Rastins, and they even brought two T-shaped mechs, which were the personal armies of the nobles, although the weakened version was not as good as the military aircraft, but it was enough to make the people of the New Brad Kingdom feel intimidated.

Duke Andrews' avoidance of conflict is undoubtedly the right choice......

"Duke Andrews doesn't seem to have told us to be here before!" There was a displeased voice from the other side, and it was clear that the Nicene nobles were very unhappy with the Rastine's behavior of taking advantage of the fire.

But the New Bullards already have a way to deal with it, "We're just trying to prevent the unexpected...... If King Mikael is one step ahead, then it will not be good for everyone. ”

"Then please ask the friends of the New Brad Kingdom to go first! We're in charge of it now! The other party said unceremoniously, it seems that the control of the mecha hangar has reached the point where there will be no concession, although this makes the Rastin people very annoyed, but considering that the other party is still useful, they have to agree.

"Alright! His Royal Highness respects Your Excellency's choice. ”

After saying that, the Rastin people who led the team waved their hands, and the army that was originally outside the hangar withdrew, although the purpose was not fully achieved, but as long as it was not controlled by the king of Nicaea, this coup d'état could be safe.

Without any dragging of mud and water, these new Bullard troops immediately withdrew from here, neatly and without the slightest panic, and disappeared from the sight of the Nicaean rebels, which made these rabble breathe a sigh of relief.
