The atmosphere in the royal capital is gradually approaching the freezing point, and the people don't know what happened, only that a few days ago, the inner city was closed, prohibiting any ordinary people from entering and leaving, but there were many aristocratic lords swaggering in, and there were shouts of killing when they got closer, and from time to time things wrapped in straw mats were transported outside the city.

The tavern was also very depressed, with only a few regulars, and most of the people were closed to avoid disaster.

"Is this going to change?"

"Shhhh

But it was the shopkeeper who took over the conversation, and he was also worried.

"After this generation of kings ascended the throne, our lives have been much better."

"yes, don't let anything happen."

"You guys should be careful, the defenders of the city have changed a lot of people recently, and there are often soldiers taking people on the street, I plan to close the store for a few days to avoid the limelight, you should also be careful"

A few regulars chimed in, but the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

In the black prison under the royal city, the sound of cursing was endless, and the old ministers led by the scholars of Shangluo University were all thrown into the black prison, and the old aristocratic forces entered the palace a few days ago and controlled the overall situation.

"You must be wondering why no one has come to save you until now."

"Even if you are locked up in it for the past two days, you have made some small moves, but it doesn't matter, they won't come"

The nobleman smiled even more happily.

"If the border empire presses the border, we will not send troops, then they will definitely give up the royal city to defend against foreign enemies on the border first"

"Who made you so upright, hahahaha"

Scholar Shangluo's face turned pale, and his whole person trembled with anger.

"You ...... Collusion with the Empire!! ”

The nobleman was unimpressed and dusted off his body.

"It's just taking advantage of each other, how do you say that?"

"Those who achieve great things are not informal"

"Okay, you can stay here in peace, rest assured, I won't kill you for the time being, until the border settles down, you old ministers are important bargaining chips"

As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned to Shang Luo.

"You sent the contact letter from Drifting Snow City, although we intercepted it, but it was in vain."

"This time, it is estimated that all the hidden piles planted in Drifting Snow City have been activated, should there be another funeral now? Your Royal Highness the dear princess should be crying, hahahaha."

As he spoke, his smile became brighter and brighter, and he strode out of the black prison, and the scholar of Shangluo University sat down on the ground, as if he had suddenly aged ten years old.

…..

The middle-aged man on the throne was in high spirits, and the plan to seize the door was really as easy as the one said, this iron country should be dominated by their aristocratic family after all.

"You have worked hard in the past few days, and now although we have taken the royal city, the outside is still in turmoil, I don't know what you think."

Before anyone else could speak, the nobleman who had made a good relationship in advance opened his mouth.

"Turmoil naturally comes from people, control money and food, and gather soldiers will naturally lead to stability"

As soon as the words came out, the faces of the other nobles changed, at first glance it sounded that it was aimed at the king's old ministry, and it was not for them to listen, but now the person on the high seat has a lot of power, and there is no other way out if he does not compromise?

Looking at the silent members of the aristocracy, the high seat nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems that all of you agree with this move, so we will ...... at a later date"

The door of the council hall was slammed open, causing an uproar, how could someone be so reckless at this important moment of discussing state affairs?

"Oh no, no! The army outside the city is overwhelmed! ”

The displeasure between the eyebrows of the middle-aged man on the high seat instantly turned into shock.

"Where is the army?"

"Drifting Snow City! It's the airship of Drifting Snow City!! ”

Drifting Snow City!?

As soon as the herald's words came out, there was an uproar, wasn't the city lord dead, and it was promised by this person on the high seat.

The middle-aged man also panicked, impossible, the one above would not deceive himself, and the hidden stakes buried in Drifting Snow City were all activated, how could he not be able to deal with a little city lord?

"Don't panic! Take back the drawbridge! Hold on to the gates! This city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you hold the gates..."

There was a loud bang, and even the floor of the council hall felt a violent vibration, and the defenders outside were visibly in a commotion.

After a while, another person stumbled in outside, covered in charred black.

"No... Oh no, city gates! The city gate was blown down, and the army of Drifting Snow City ..... drove straight in!! ”

The airship floating in front of the city gate, with green smoke still swirling on the muzzle, Leo looked at the chaotic defenders below, and sighed in his heart that this is the crushing of science and technology, and the progress of gunpowder has improved the long-range attack means by more than a notch.

It's a pity that the airship has a limited load and can only carry two guns, and they are still lightweight versions, and the city defense cannons can't be loaded anyway.

Another round of shelling directly knocked down a stone tower near the city tower, looking at the movement below, Leo felt that it was time and took the microphone.

"I am Leoklaw, Lord of Drifting Snow City, and I am on the orders of His Highness Franstuart, to purge the traitors!"

"No one has to put down their weapons quickly, and those who are not leaders are not to blame in the past, and they still want to resist stubbornly...... No mercy! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another cannonball hit the tower, and the tall tower fell with the smoke like a hammer in the hearts of the defenders.

The defenders put down their weapons one after another and lay on the ground, not daring to come out of the atmosphere, and the follow-up troops of Drifting Snow City quickly moved in and occupied various important places.

By the time Leo arrived at the main hall, it had already been suppressed, a group of nobles were lying on the ground shaking chaff, and the middle-aged man was also down from the throne at this time.

"What about the king?"

"Taken away by ....."

"Who is it?"

"I, I really don't know, they just sent someone to contact us and unilaterally told us the plan, such a big benefit, we really can't resist"

"I really don't know about the rest..."

Where is the middle-aged man still have the majesty just now, the whole person kept shaking, and was frightened by the shaking of the ground outside, and he seemed to tell what he knew.

Leo nodded and motioned for Bell to step forward, and the middle-aged man noticed something and kept shrinking back.

"Nope! No! You can't do this to me! Do you know who I am? I'm but...! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Bell greeted him with a punch, his voice stopped abruptly, and the middle-aged man was dragged out like a dead dog, and Leo turned to those who were lying on his stomach with a cold face.

There was a terrible scream outside, and the people inside knew what was going on, which was a deterrent, and in fact it was also very effective, and the few people who were kneeling even emitted a stench, and they turned out to be incontinent.

"I'm not interested in knowing who he is, I just know, traitors, all deserve to die"
