The royal capital has been hit hard, and the originally lively city has become extremely deserted at this moment.

Navarro had manipulated the old emperor to order the Imperial Knight Captain Pedro to lead his troops to the front line, and although Freya had ordered him to be transferred back, the front line would take about ten days to reach the royal capital at the earliest.

Until Pedro returns, President Rena will have to guard the palace with her grandfather's private soldiers.

The Academy of Magic will not interfere in royal matters.

What's more, after this battle, the Academy of Magic also suffered quite serious losses, not only the students were killed and injured, but even the teachers of the academy were not spared.

At this moment, if the academy is in any trouble, I am afraid that it can only mobilize the "giant god statue" left by the previous students in front of the academy.

The best way to reduce the population of the royal capital is to absorb the residents of some nearby villages and fill the population back.

But that's all for later.

The most important thing at the moment is to put Freya on the throne first.

"At present, the only people who can affect Freya's succession to the throne are the Duke of Feldman, the Duke of Martin, and the Duke of Milton."

"These three dukes have always been the leaders of other nobles and ministers, and they are also the three nobles with the largest number of private troops in the royal capital at present, as long as these three can agree, Freya can inherit the throne, and it will go smoothly."

President Rena analyzed.

Lin Xue, Freya, Maria, and President Rena are gathered in Freya's bedroom to discuss the plan.

Hearing Rena's analysis, Lin Xue said indifferently.

"Since you oppose it, wouldn't it be better to kill these three people directly? So that no one will object. ”

Rena shook her head and said.

"How can it be so easy, these three people manage many important official affairs of the empire, once the three of them are killed, I am afraid that the operation of the entire empire will also come to a standstill, not to mention that these three dukes currently have at least five thousand private soldiers, how do you kill them?"

Lin Xue pursed her lips.

Five thousand, isn't it a magical thing?

"I think Lin Xue's method is good."

At this moment, Maria suddenly interjected, and Rena asked in confusion.

"Why?"

"It's very simple, it will take ten days for the knights to reach the royal capital for a long distance, and in these ten days, the three dukes will definitely take action, and maybe there will be another big war in the royal capital."

"What's more, even if the chief knight rushes back, if there are three dukes who oppose Freya inheriting the throne, it will be very troublesome for Freya in the future."

"What Freya needs most now is deterrence."

Lin Xue nodded.

Maria was right, whether Freya succeeded to the throne or not, it would be a problem to have these three old fellows there.

It is better to directly deal with a group of people once and for all, and at the same time warn others, so as to achieve the effect of killing chickens and setting an example.

"And it is not necessary to kill all three dukes, as long as they mysteriously kill a duke in a way that they cannot understand, the purpose of deterrence can be achieved, after all, people will have fear of things that they cannot understand."

At this time, Maria suddenly looked at Lin Xue, and asked Lin Xue with slightly narrowed eyes.

"You should be able to do it, right?"

……

Lin Xue understood what Maria meant.

If Lin Xue came to the door and directly bombarded the other party, it would certainly be able to block everyone's mouths and make them afraid.

But Lin Xue can't be by Freya's side forever.

And killing a duke in a way they can't understand will instill fear in them.

Make the other party jealous.

What Freya needs most now is time.

As long as you cultivate your own henchmen, and then slowly replace the existing ministers and nobles, all problems can be solved.

Liuying walked on the empty streets of the royal capital with a suitcase.

At this moment, the inner gate of the royal capital is full of birds, and the city is a depressed scene, even if there are civilians in twos and threes, most of them are in a hurry, and they dare not stay on the street anymore.

After all, the current royal capital does not even have a single patrolling soldier.

The appearance of the flowing firefly did not attract anyone's attention at all.

After deliberation, among the three dukes, the Duke of Milton was finally chosen as the target of killing chickens and monkeys.

The Duke of Milton was in charge of the Imperial finances.

Killing him will allow Freya to regain control of the empire's wealth, and it will not have too much impact on the empire in a short period of time, causing the empire to be paralyzed.

After all, Freya is still very good at "spending money".

In order to silence other ministers and nobles of the empire, Rena and the others also listed dozens of crimes against Duke Milton.

At the same time, Lin Xue also volunteered to recommend herself, as the person in charge of the raid of the Duke of Milton's family property afterwards, and the most important thing is that Freya actually agreed.

This can make Lin Xuele bad.

Sure enough, the empress or something, the most loving!

As a duke, Milton naturally had his own mansion and was a very large estate.

There are many servants in the mansion, and the manor is extremely well guarded, and it is extremely difficult to kill them.

Of course, this is for everyone else.

Not far from the Duke of Milton's mansion, Hotaru found a large tree in a good position, and under the tree, Hotaru opened her suitcase, took out a sniper rifle with an exaggerated shape, and the length was even about to catch up with Hotaru's height, and put it on her back, and then slowly climbed up the tree.

Coming to a high branch, Firefly leaned on the trunk of the tree and set up a sniper rifle directly in the direction of Milton Manor.

It seems that the aristocracy has the habit of drinking afternoon tea.

According to intelligence, the Duke of Milton would drink a cup of afternoon tea in his garden every afternoon.

Lin Xue didn't understand this.

You said that if it is for the sake of elegance, it is a little bit of a mood for you to pretend to have an afternoon tea in the summer.

It's winter, aren't you sick drinking tea outside?

Not afraid of diarrhea after drinking?

At this moment, Milton was leisurely drinking tea in his garden, but he didn't know that danger had quietly arrived.

"The target is 2450 meters away, using a special 14.7 armor-piercing projectile, with a capacity of five rounds, small wind resistance, no line-of-sight blocking, the target is confirmed by the Duke of Milton, ready to kill."

In the quiet forest, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, the Duke of Milton, who was drinking tea, was directly hit through the head by a bullet, and a large blood mist was suddenly exploded, red and white sprinkled on the ground, and his body fell directly from the chair!

"Ahh

"Lord Duke!"

The frightened cries of the servants mingled with the shouts of the soldiers, and the garden was a chaotic scene.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After the Duke of Milton fell, Hotaru did not stop, and in order to ensure a kill, even if the opponent had been hit in the head, Hotaru still fired all five bullets out and hit the opponent.

After doing all this, Hotaru retracted her weapon, jumped straight down from the tree, retracted her suitcase, and turned around to leave.
