Chapter 66: Open Eyes
At noon, a deafening explosion shattered the peace order that had been so hard to maintain in the imperial capital, and at the same time announced the beginning of the general offensive of the revolutionary army. One? See?? Book w?ww look・1?k?a?n?s?h?u?? In the four directions of east, west, north and south, the revolutionary army stationed outside the city attacked the imperial capital at the same time.
The empire can drag on in the imperial capital, but the revolutionary army can't afford it. The defection of the border guards led to their successful raid to the imperial capital and caught the empire by surprise. When the empire reacts and transfers the troops from other regions back to the imperial capital, the number of the revolutionary army will inevitably not be surrounded and annihilated. The fierceness of the revolutionary army's offensive can be felt far from the city walls
The road was full of panicked residents, and after the imperial capital garrison that maintained order was also requisitioned to the city wall to defend against the attack of the revolutionary army, not many people were able to maintain normal order, and it became almost a subconscious idea for many people to flee home or escape to a safe place with their families. When it is inevitable to be drawn into war, the best thing to do is to stay away from the walls and streets that will become war zones, bullets and arrows do not care whether they are soldiers or civilians, they do not have eyes
Passing through the chaotic crowd, Qiu Chen headed straight for the palace. He had already reached out to Nero. She would rendezvous with him in the Imperial City and then attack the reincarnation stronghold together
Along the way, Qiuchen passed through the two walls of the city that were used to divide the city, and there would have been some soldiers standing guard in these places, but now, almost all of them are fighting the revolutionary army. General Bud and General Estes can guarantee that the two city walls will not be breached, but the rest of the place, not only the emperor, but also the revolutionary army also has the imperial envoy to participate in the war, and it has not experienced the baptism of war for many years, and it is difficult for the imperial capital city wall to stop the progress of the revolutionary army
There were only two guards at the gate of the Imperial City, and Qiu Chen easily passed through the gate with a slight impact on their consciousness. The battle was fierce, and some of the palace guards were also sent to places where the war was stalemate, after all, there was no city area, and no matter how good the palace defense was, it could not stop the attack of the revolutionary army
[Be careful! The space here is distorting! 】
Ai Wen, who had withdrawn from the countless noisy affairs, reminded in a loud voice. During this time, Ai Wen not only had to maintain information communication with Valhalla and other Heroic Spirits, but also was responsible for strengthening the world barrier to prevent the world barrier from almost breaking like the last time the reincarnation attacked the present world, causing her and Qiu Chen to barely speak a word
"Has the main god space already established a stable teleportation point here?" In the empty courtyard, Qiu Chen cautiously advanced. Compared to the last time I entered the palace, this time it was obviously much more empty, not only were the guards sent to the battlefield to fight the revolutionary army, but the servants who used to be everywhere were gone.
The floor was spotless, shiny, and it had never been a day since the last time it was cleaned. Some of the floors were half-wiped down and stopped, possibly suddenly forcibly evicted while they were doing their normal work. However, in terms of the way the reincarnators behaved, Qiu Chen really hoped that the servants were just driven away
[Chances are, the data flow is very disordered.] It's like throwing a smoke bomb, I can't see them clearly! Be careful, anyone can be a reincarnation! 】
"Then help me see it within your visibility," Qiu Chen put his finger to his ear, and through Ai Wen's communication, the battle situation of the Heroic Spirits everywhere reached his ears as if he was using radio communication, so that he could always know the situation on the battlefield, "For example, the two in front, what do you think, Ai Wen?" ”
[I think you can judge both of these with your eyes]
When he arrived at the atrium, Qiu Chen saw two people wearing guard clothes, but compared with the guards he had seen, they could only say that they had put on a guard's clothes, and they were not neatly dressed, let alone the palace, even a community security guard could not treat the uniforms on their bodies so perfunctorily
"This is the palace, it is forbidden for unrelated people to enter and exit at will" One of them stretched out his hand to block Qiuchen's way, "Leave immediately, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
"I just want to say, the momentum is very strong, but unfortunately, it's too fake" Qiu Chen stretched out his finger to the two of them "I know who you are, if you don't want to die, get out of the way, there's no need to die for a few exchange points, my target is not you"
At least not yet
Hearing Qiu Chen's words, the two took a few steps back in shock. Completely don't understand why a guy who is not a reincarnation person would know this. The next moment, they froze as if they had heard something. After a few seconds, after glancing at each other, they drew their weapons and rushed towards Qiu Chen
"Wealth is in danger! Kill him! ”
"You're on the left, I'm on the right, flanking him!"
Seeing this, Qiu Chen sighed, the ash messenger had already appeared in his hands, "If you have money, you must also have famous flowers...... I don't understand this truth, so you're just low-level reincarnators, guys who are used as cannon fodder......"
"Minister, how is the battle going" In the palace hall, the little emperor sat on the dragon chair with a scepter in his hand. At this time, only the little emperor and the minister were left in the court, which was originally full of personnel, and the former courtiers either defected to the revolutionary army, or were frightened by the attack of the revolutionary army and hid at home.
The little emperor's gaze swept over the empty court, when he first succeeded to the throne, it was full of talented civil and military generals, but after a few years, these people either resigned and went into hiding, or were executed for offending the minister, and it was he who gave the order to execute. And when there was nothing to do, a group of people who reported the peace of the world with the minister disappeared when the revolutionary army attacked
Have I really been deceived......
For the first time, such an idea popped into the little emperor's mind
Was I really deceived......
As soon as this idea appeared, it was like a maggot on his tarsal bone, and it lingered. It's like a voice whispering in his ear, repeating this sentence all the time, and such questions arise all the time
For a while, the voices of the people who had been exhorting the court all these years, and then the voices of the executed people before their deaths began to appear in the little emperor's mind one by one, and these words that he would not listen to again, and even forgot immediately after the other party finished speaking, recalled them clearly
I...... Was it really deceived by the minister......
"The situation is not good, Your Majesty," Minister Earnest clenched his fists and covered his mouth, coughing lightly, "The morale of the rebels is strong, and the morale of our army is shrinking sharply. The North and East Gates, which had been temporarily sealed with clay, had been breached by the Revolutionary Army and were now fighting for the gates, with General Estes leading his men to support from the West Gate. But it would be difficult for General Bud and General Estes to turn the tide alone."
The little emperor lowered his head and said nothing
Seeing this, Earnest changed his tone, "Your Majesty! The masses have only been stirred up by groundless rumors of revolution! But as long as Your Majesty can show your authority, these boring rebellions will come to an end! I have recruited a group of imperial envoys for Your Majesty who are willing to serve the country and can guard the palace for Your Majesty."
At the mention of the so-called imperial envoy, the corners of Minister Earnest's mouth hooked a cruel angle, but after less than a second, he changed his face to worry about the country and the people, and said to the little emperor in a serious tone
"In any case, the majesty of the emperor must be guaranteed. Your Majesty, as long as you show up on the battlefield to show your authority, the rebels will surely be defeated! Let's go, Your Majesty! The old ministers will prepare a celebration banquet for His Majesty in the palace and wait for His Majesty's triumphant return! Presumably, your parents who died in an accident will also be proud of Your Majesty's heroic appearance in quelling the rebellion! ”
The little emperor raised his head, his eyes were closed, his hands tightly grasped the armrest of the dragon chair, he took a deep breath, his mouth opened slightly, and spit out a word that made the minister's excited expression freeze on his face
“…… Nope."
