Chapter 288: Mutiny

As the saying goes: to gain great power, the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology. Da Liang's body has gone from having no magic talent at all to now officially entering the god-making project, because he has a top-level alchemy technology team and a large amount of capital investment.

At the God-Making Institute, Da Liang floats in a gravityless magic capsule, his thick magical ability flowing like a liquid in a transparent vessel. The gravity-free magic chamber is surrounded by more than a dozen high-level alchemists, and in front of them is a circular magic console, which is used to control the values in the gravityless magic energy cabin.

In the outer circle, there are dozens of alchemists around the workbench preparing the magic alchemy materials that they need for a while.

Nicole carefully watched the progress of each alchemist's work, and after making sure that everything was ready, she asked her assistants to push in the box containing the body of the world.

When the ban on the box is lifted, the box is unfolded. The majestic fire-based magical energy immediately rolled out like an explosion, and the alchemist, who had been prepared for a long time, simultaneously unfolded a magic array to block the fire-type magical energy riot. The red flames dissipated, and the flaming armored giant stood calmly in the middle of the chest.

At this time, Da Liang, the fire element magic energy in the elemental god stone, also became uncontrollably agitated after feeling the energy of the same origin. Red fire elementals poured out from the elemental stone on Da Liang's chest, forming a vortex and enveloping the Flame Lord.

If it is not stopped, the fusion of Da Liang and Annihilation is an irreversible process, because they are one in the first place. But Nicole had to do more with the Flame Lord, and she wouldn't let this happen.

When the fire-based magic energy in Da Liang's body was about to rush out of the gravityless magic energy cabin, the alchemists who controlled the magic energy cabin mobilized the magic energy in the magic energy cabin at the same time. Another larger vortex took shape on the periphery of the Flame Vortex, and it rotated in the opposite direction to the Flame Vortex, pulling the Flame Vortex to expand and open, but it could not break through the outer wall of the gravityless magic energy chamber.

The fire-based magical energy of Da Liang and the destruction of the world was controlled by the alchemists, and Nicole picked up a cup of mixed alchemy powder and sprinkled it into the space between the big light and the destruction of the world.

The golden powder was sprinkled and combined under Nicole's spell to form a magic circle several meters high and perpendicular to the ground. A thunderbolt poured into the magic array, and the magic circle that obtained the activation energy slowly rotated......

If you want to block the fusion of the world destroying and the Great Bright, it is not a simple project to seal the Flame Dominion into the Elemental Divine Stone. In addition, it is also necessary to open up a space for god-making projects in the Elemental Divine Stone, and establish contact with the outside world, so that the entire experimental process can be completed in the Elemental Divine Stone.

The work is complicated, and Da Liang will have to stay in the Great Tomb for several days to complete the sealing of the Flame Lord.

And outside, the whole of Marcellus seems to have changed overnight.

The officials sent by the Empire to investigate the Blackfire Company have not been seized because of the failure of the Marquis of Whitehead. Governor Marcellus was the supreme military governor of the province, and no one could move the imperial army in the province without his orders.

The head of the investigation team, the Marquis of Berek, had repeatedly issued orders from the Emperor to warn the Marquis of Whitehead, demanding that the Black Fire Company be immediately sealed, but the Governor had prevaricated on the grounds that the battle in front of Marcellus was scorching and the rear could no longer be unstable.

Looking at the airplanes over Blackfire Airlines, with hordes of outgoing fighters, Marquis Berek knew that the farce that had taken place in Saroyan had to be ended as soon as possible.

After conspiring with the Emperor again about the Marquis of Whitehead's non-cooperation, the Marquis of Berek finally obtained the temporary command of the 1st Division of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, and immediately broke into the garrison of the 1st Division of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment with the Emperor's order.

As the Emperor's personal soldier, the 1st Division of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment accompanied the Marquis of Whitehead to Saroyan to stabilize the situation and did not return to the imperial capital. Rather, as an army directly subordinate to the Emperor, it continued to be stationed in Saroyan, the purpose of which was, of course, to help the Emperor keep an eye on the governors of the provinces.

If necessary, the Royal Musketeers were also tasked with escorting the Doge back to the Empire.

It was an army that the governor of Marcellus could not influence in the land, and they were loyal only to the emperor. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor would not give orders to the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, but once the cavalry regiment was directly transferred, it meant that the Emperor had a great deal of distrust in Governor Marcellus.

After the Marquis of Berek entered the garrison of the 1st Division of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, he was in high spirits with the Emperor's order in hand. Originally, because of the outbreak of the Marcellus War, the emperor did not dare to move the Marquis of Whitehead easily. It is a great risk to hold the supreme commander accountable at a time when the war is uncertain.

Therefore, although the Marquis of Berek had long applied for the Royal Musketeers to seize the Black Fire Company, the Emperor never agreed.

This time the Marquess of Whitehead should not have met with the Socialists, and connived at the rapid development of the Socialists in Marcellus.

What is the slogan proposed by the Marcellus Socialist Party?

Freedom, self-reliance, self-reliance......

It's almost like being independent!

In the current situation of Marcellus, whatever the Marquis of Whitehead does, the emperor can endure, but this is the only thing that can never be tolerated.

The Emperor soon agreed to the Marquis de Berek's request to call up the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, which meant that the Marquis of Whitehead's tenure as Governor of Marcellus had arrived. As long as the Marquis of Berek found evidence that the Marquis of Whitehead colluded with speculative merchants to manipulate the war when he seized the Black Fire Company.

Then he will most likely be appointed governor of Marcellus on the spot.

As long as he leads the imperial army to win this war, he will definitely be promoted to the rank of grand duke, and the prestige he gains will also make the emperor dare not touch himself.

The Marquis of Berek summoned the officers of the 1st Division of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment to the division headquarters, where he was to announce the Emperor's orders in public. The Marquis of Whitehead, who got the news, also immediately rushed from the Governor's Palace to the station of the 1st Royal Musketeer Division.

After the "Marquis of Berek" entered the division headquarters, the Marquis of Whitehead walked in front of the Marquis of Berek, he looked at the group of musketeer officers waiting here, and said with the momentum of the governor: "What do you want to do?" You should know what the mobilization of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment meant for the whole of Marcellus. You're doing something beyond your authority, so get out of Marcellus before you make a big mistake. ”

With the Emperor's orders in his hands and the Emperor's personal army, the Marquis of Berek responded to the Marquis of Whitehead with great confidence: "Your Excellency the Governor...... You know what I'm here to do in Saroyan. The Blackfire Company supplies the Parliamentary Army with advanced weapons to the detriment of the Empire's interests.

As the Governor of Marcellus, you've not only failed to punish such companies as a threat to the Empire's security, but you've also blocked my investigation into them...... Your Majesty is already very dissatisfied with you.

Now you are still allowing the so-called Marcellus Socialist Party to propagate extremist rhetoric and allow it to grow and develop under your rule. You should know that you yourself are the nobles of the Empire, and the honor of the Whitehead family is given to you by the Empire! What exactly do you want to do? Do you know what you're doing! ”

In the face of the Marquis Berek's reprimand, the Marquis of Whitehead calmly walked to the main seat and sat down, and then said to everyone in the division headquarters: "Fellow soldiers of the Empire, you have been stationed in Saroyan for nearly two years. This is a window into the world, and you must know what is going on in the whole world.

Times have changed.

At a time when countries around the world are actively changing themselves to adapt to the new era, the empire still clings to the stubbornness and traditions of thousands of years.

The conservative aristocracy continued to have the privilege of controlling every aspect of the empire, not giving new ideas and commoners any chance to influence the empire. We dream of great empires, sleeping in the splendor created by our ancestors, ignoring that we are being eliminated by the times.

You are the most glorious musketeers of the Empire. Then let me ask, when you appear on the battlefield on a war horse, do you still have a chance to gallop? Is the fighting power of the Imperial army as strong as it was during the Hundred Years' War?

The Marcellus War exposed many, many problems for the Imperial Army. The troops transferred from the empire itself were clearly unable to keep up with the rhythm of the Marcellus garrison on the battlefield. We have good soldiers and good weapons, but a lot of aristocratic officers behave like idiots.

Many of them are your classmates in the military academy, think about the children of the nobility who have mixed qualifications in the military academy, do you want them to be your allies on the battlefield?

In the Hundred Years War, our ancestors won us the prestige of deterring the eastern countries for 200 years, but we were all defeated in less than a year.

The nations of the East have seen clearly our reality and the truth. In addition to the still brave soldiers and good weapons, our officer quality and our tactical thinking are all lagging behind this world in an all-round way. Are we fighting like this with the parliamentary army because of weapons?

Who are the Parliamentarians? To put it mildly, it's a group of farmers with short-term military training, and you can't beat a group of farmers, so do you put the reason down to weapons? The parliamentary army has planes, don't we have radars, anti-aircraft guns and missiles?

The most fundamental reason is ...... The aristocracy of the empire has decayed, and if we do not carry out a fundamental change, we will face an alliance of eastern nations that are already stronger than us when we finish the parliamentary army. The glory of the Hundred Years' War is no longer likely to be repeated, and the empire will eventually be obsolete by history. ”

Hearing this, the Marquis of Berek said angrily: "Whitehead, do you really want to rebel? All officers and men of the 1st Division of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment...... I have been appointed by His Majesty, and the First Division is under my command for the time being. I command that Whitehead be arrested immediately; seizure of all properties of the Black Fire Company; Arrest all Socialist Party members and those associated with the Socialist Party.

If there is resistance, it is allowed to kill first and report later! ”

"Yes!" The Emperor's appointment of the Marquis of Berek had already reached the 1st Division, so when the Marquis of Berek announced the order, all the officers of the 1st Division immediately received the order in a proper military posture.

At the same time, a squad of heavily armed musketeers rushed in from outside the division headquarters.

The Marquis of Berek, who thought he was in control of the situation, patted the Marquis of Whitehead on the shoulder with a smile and said, "I admit that some of what you just said is very reasonable, and some of the imperial nobles are no longer useful. But here is the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, and the officers here are all the sons of the nobility, they are all beneficiaries of the privileges of the nobility, and they will never overthrow their own class.

Whitehead, you will be taken back to the Imperial Capital to stand trial. I, on the other hand, will take over as Governor of Marcellus. Wait until I seize the Blackfire Company, get its wealth and factories, and make the fighter the exclusive weapon of the Imperial Army. Both the parliamentary armies and the eastern nations will submit to the iron heel of the Empire.

I will push the territory of the empire to new heights. ”

And just as the Marquis of Berek was taunting the Marquis of Whitehead, the commander of the 1st Division looked at the soldiers who rushed in, and found that something was wrong, and he reprimanded: "What part of you are! Who let you in! All out! Guard Company, Guard Company ......"

The division commander shouted loudly for the division headquarters guard company, but no soldiers of his own rushed in outside the door.

Looking at the muzzle pointing of these soldiers, the atmosphere in the division headquarters instantly became strange. After the division commander saw the nameplates of these soldiers, he shouted again: "Commander Reed James, what do you want to do, do you want to make a mutiny?" Remember the oath you swore that the Royal Musketeers were loyal only to the Emperor. ”

Reed stepped forward, he walked up behind the Marquis of Whitehead and said, "I am loyal to the Emperor, but if Your Majesty does something wrong, I will not blindly obey."

In Saroyan, I saw a lot of things that I couldn't see on the empire's own soil. Consider the Governor to be the cornerstone of the Empire, and he will lead the Empire to catch up with the development of the new era and restore the glory of the fallen Empire.

I believe that the Marquis will not betray the Empire, will not betray His Majesty...... Everything he did was so that the glory of Flamenck did not end in the hands of the rotten aristocracy.

I'm sorry, Marquis Berek and my colleagues, but I am now in charge of the 1st Royal Musketeer Division. ”

After Reed had finished speaking, a group of soldiers from the three regiments swarmed up, arrested the Marquis of Berek and all the officers, and escorted them to the governor's palace.

Reid remained in the 1st Division to take command of the army, while the Marquis of Whitehead hurried back to the Governor's House of Marcellus.

On the same day, news came out of the Governor's Palace of Marcellus that shocked the world.

The Marquis of Whitehead declared that all Imperial nobles in Marcellus no longer enjoyed any aristocratic privileges, and that they only enjoyed citizenship like ordinary Marcellians.

Then the Marquis of Whitehead asked people from all walks of life to set up a provisional council of Marcellus, and stated that he would resign after the formation of the new parliament, and he would also transfer all the executive and military powers of Marcellus to the parliament, and he would not hold any position in the new government.

At the same time, the Marquis of Whitehead called for a truce for the Parliamentarian forces. He also promised that after the armistice, Marcellus would immediately start democratic elections and establish the Duchy of Marcellus. Marcellus only had to admit that he was part of the Flominck Empire, and Marcellus would be completely governed by the Marcellians.

Marcellus will be truly free, self-reliant, and self-reliant.
