0545: The tide is over

Zhu Xiaoxiao was protected by countless people in the middle, and around her, there were at least thirty full-level summoners, and she sat in a spacious and luxurious hovercar, watching the battle outside from the window.

There are dozens of other hovercars around Zhu Xiaoxiao's hovering car, and there are several small hovering warships flying around in the sky, acting as air guards.

There were more than 3,000 people in their team, winding more than 1,000 meters on the narrow street, and Zhu Xiaoxiao was in the center, with more than 1,000 people in front and behind.

The people in front were clearing the ambush points on both sides, and some summoners were flying around each building, trying to ensure that Zhu Xiaoxiao could pass safely, while in the rear, some enemies were chasing after and harassing them.

There were battles before and after, but Zhu Xiaoxiao was well protected, and she was hardly attacked, which also showed that the emperor did have a hand of strength.

While fighting and quickly evacuating, the streets where they passed were riddled with holes, and the buildings on both sides were almost in ruins.

Hearing the sound of a knock on the window, Zhu Xiaoxiao slowly turned her head to look outside, and there was a heavily armed royal guard outside, and at her signal, a maid in the car rolled down the glass window.

There were two maids in the car, both of whom were Xiao Chen's personal bodyguards, aged between thirty and forty, and their ranks were also thirty.

The voices of the maid and the royal guard were very soft, and Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't have the heart to eavesdrop, she stroked the lightning rabbit sitting next to her for a while.

"Your Highness, Lord Xiao Chen is ......in front," the maid said.

"Huh? How did he get here? Zhu Xiaoxiao finally reacted, she hurriedly leaned forward and looked through the front window of the driver.

Since coming out of the palace, Zhu Xiaoxiao has been so worried, seeing that he finally reacted, the two loyal guards glanced at each other, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, Lord Xiao helped us knock out the ambush circle in front of us...... the maid said.

"According to the intelligence, the enemy has set up a total of five routes and more than twenty ambush points in the imperial capital, but since now, we have experienced three, Your Highness, are we choosing a new path?" The other maid said.

"This path was chosen by the emperor, and it can't be changed, right?" The former maid said.

"Of course you can't change ......it," Zhu Xiaoxiao observed a few times, sat down again, and said, "Don't look at the attack we are receiving now, it is very fierce, but there is not much damage at all, if it is to take other roads, it may not be." ”

"I really don't know how the Emperor is doing now?" The former maid said.

"He should be fighting, right?" Zhu Xiaoxiao looked back at the east.

To the east of the city, the military camp outside the imperial capital.

Tiganor stood in front of the window with his back hand, looking to the east, in the dark night, the scene of those battleships and shells exploding reflected in the dark night.

Because of the war, the lights in the east lit up half of the sky, and in the light of the explosion, some agile fighters, small combat ships, and some mechanical warriors and other armed forces loomed, and launched an extremely fierce frontal hand-to-hand encounter.

King Langya's troops were well prepared, the battleship team was strong, and the imperial capital was much weaker in comparison, plus some troops fled from the battle, some troops rebelled, and launched fierce attacks on the former friendly forces, many military camps were in a mess, and there was basically no strength to respond to the enemy.

Fortunately, the emperor had the foresight to transfer Tigano to the three guards in the east of the city, and with him sitting here, no one dared to make a rebellion.

Now, basically only these three guards of Tiganor can still hold their posts, resisting the fierce attack of the Eastern Army, delaying the enemy's offensive pace.

However, the current situation does not seem to be long for them.

Standing behind Tigano, he looked around with a fierce eye in case someone could injure him with a hidden arrow, and there were six royal guards guarding him around.

Behind them was a bustling war room, lined up in two large semi-circles of electronic instruments, where young men and women in military uniforms were busy.

It was these people who held the situation of the war in the eastern suburbs as a whole, and as the war progressed, the situation of the various squads was summarized to the staff headquarters on the other side.

Some of the operational staff officers gathered in front of a large screen to discuss the current state of the war.

"Jianmu, order eight rates and nine rates to prepare for a strategic retreat." Tiganor said suddenly.

"Yes, sir...... However, according to the intelligence, the prince's headquarters is still in the city, and it will take at least half an hour to get out of the city......" Jian Mu first agreed, and then hurriedly reminded.

"Deliver the order." Tiganor didn't mean to explain, he said in a stiff tone.

"Yes, sir." Jian Mu hurriedly bowed his head and replied, he knew Tigano's personality, once he made up his mind, he was afraid that it would not be so easy to change, and it was useless to persuade him at this time.

Besides, they are now in the barracks, and after more than ten days of barracks life, Jian Mu also understands the importance of military regulations, and the soldiers unconditionally obey the orders of their superiors.

Hearing the sound of Jian Mu leaving, Tigano couldn't help but sigh, but in order not to affect the morale of his subordinates, his sigh could only be heard by himself.

He didn't know what the corruption of the empire had become, but since he knew the true situation of the three guards under his department, Tigano had long been anxious in his heart.

In a huge Jiuzhou Empire, the royal family can control only three or five armies, each of which lacks personnel and equipment, morale is low, and rampant soldiers are rampant, and the combat effectiveness of this kind of army can be imagined.

If he is given another three or five months, Tiganor is confident that he will build the three guards into a strong army, but he has only been half a month since he received the order, and the increase in combat effectiveness is limited.

Now, it is already a rare thing that the Eastern Sanwei Department can withstand the pressure of death and launch an attack on the huge Eastern Army.

If half of the battle was lost, Tiganor could expect the entire army to collapse.

Therefore, in this situation, Digano can no longer take care of Zhu Xiaoxiao's safety, he only wants to take away the limited forces of the royal family safely, so as to have the power to protect himself in the next difficult years.

Politics has always been cruel, and Tigano knows this well, and can foresee that after King Langya enters the imperial capital, those opportunists and capitulators will spare no effort to automatically eliminate the royal family members in order to protect themselves or seek benefits.

Tigano is also in the royal family, although it is a big one, but it is also on the list of those who have been cleaned up.

Tiganor does not think about himself, but also for the safety of his family, so only by having a strong army in his hands can he make the opportunists jealous.

A few minutes later, the brightly lit base immediately boiled over, and the vanguard of the two guards moved first, one around the periphery of the imperial capital to the west, and the other passed directly through the imperial capital.

Zhu Xiaoxiao is nominally the first heir of the Jiuzhou Empire, her safety is the first priority, and Tigano knows that if he wants the officers below to obey him, he can't ignore it, so he sent half of his men to support Zhu Xiaoxiao.

The eastern army advanced slowly, slowly approaching with a crushing momentum, and Tigano waited for another ten minutes, and when the two guards had already moved half outward, he gave the order for the headquarters to evacuate.

As for the seventh rate of the battle with the Eastern Army, almost half of them were wiped out, and Tigano couldn't bear to give them the order to evacuate, and then, with the brigade, went around the city.

In the Imperial Capital, the tallest building in the city is the headquarters of the Summoners Guild.

As usual, the lights are lit day and night, and the people come and go, the only difference is that now, the building is surrounded by countless people, blocking people from passing and not allowing them to pass.

These were the troops of King Lang Yu who had infiltrated the imperial capital, and they stopped people in order to capture the imperial soldiers who had died in the course of the war.

However, the status of the Summoners Association is transcendent, and although the Eastern Army of King Langyu is domineering, it also has to give nine points of face, and there is no major conflict for the time being.

The people who entered and exited the Summoners Association building were only interrogated, but the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Palace Crystal Tower, which were also the three major resurrection points of the imperial capital, were infiltrated by the easterners, but whenever anyone came out, they were killed by the senior summoners who were waiting on the side, and many people did not have time to replenish the substitute death card and died tragically under the tower.

Needless to say, the crystal tower of the palace has long been infiltrated by King Langyu, and the palace is basically controlled by the Eastern Army, and the resurrected people are killed indiscriminately, and no one dares to say a word.

As for the Imperial Academy, some teachers and students are at war with the Easterners, and the fighting has spread to most of the Academy.

Twenty minutes after the battle began, an earth-shattering explosion rang out, and the Resurrection Crystal Tower of the Imperial Academy was blown up by the Easterners.

There weren't many easterners who infiltrated the Imperial Academy, and after being subjected to fierce attacks from the Academy's senior teachers and bodyguards, these people couldn't resist the pressure and detonated the Crystal.

The violent explosion blasted out a center of more than 200 meters, and the air waves rolled, and many people died here.

The entire school was alarmed, and countless frightened students, under the leadership of the teachers and leaders of the college, fled the school in a panic and ran to the west of the city.

Along the way, these teachers and students were ambushed and attacked by the easterners, and suffered heavy casualties.
