“NightRaid!”

The court hall of the imperial palace, accompanied by a loud bang, was decorated with a golden dragon pattern, and the giant arch representing the authority of the royal family was broken by brute force. The entire gate is twisted and deformed from the middle, forming an irregular oval opening. The candles in the corridor outside the arch had all been extinguished due to the battle, and in the dark cave stood all the members of the Night Raider, Brand stood at the forefront, his ghostly dark red eyes swept across the court, and the murderous aura that had been wandering on the battlefield for many years forced Minister Earnest to take a few steps back

"Guard!"

Earnest shouted in horror. Seeing this, the four royal guards in the court immediately raised their shields to block the way to the emperor. Judging from their unhesitating movements, even with the notorious night attack in front of them, they would not forget their duty

"Thief! What are the guards doing! Earnest shouted around, but no one answered him except for the four Praetorian Guards. The next moment, the sound of glass breaking sounded in the air, and the red pupil holding Mura Yu fell from the sky, falling right between the four guards and Brand

"It seems that there are no more guards to maintain their combat effectiveness" The red-eyed scarlet eyes crossed the four guards, staring directly at the minister, like a wild wolf staring at its prey, "Target, Minister Earnest...... Ruin! ”

Murayu came out of the sheath like lightning, and before the royal guards could react, the red pupil jumped high, and the toes lightly touched the guard's shoulder, and rushed through the defense line formed by the guards, and when the red pupil was about to fall in front of Onest, the village rain was already waving in the air, and slashed off Ornest's head with a sound of breaking the air

Poof――

There was no sound of a sword entering flesh, no sound of being blocked by a hard object, and a black unidentified object emerged from Earnest's collar, enveloping the blade less than inches from Murayu's neck. The sharp imperial tool was like an ordinary machete slashing into a pile of cotton, without any result, and the sharp slash was easily defused

Seeing that the situation was not good, Red Hitomi wanted to pull back, but found that he couldn't pull out the village rain from the unknown object like black mud with his own strength, and the four guards behind him had already reacted, seeing this, Red Hitomi had to let go of his hands, turned over and jumped to avoid the sweep of the royal guard's halberd, and retreated to Brand's side.

"Haha! Do you think there are no guards here! Idiot! If you dare to assassinate the minister of the empire, I will confiscate your imperial tool! Earnest opened his arms and shouted frantically, but then he realized that the little emperor was still behind him, and he clenched his fist with one hand and coughed lightly, and his smug appearance changed back to the face of concern for the country and the people that he usually pretended

"Your Majesty, punish these thieves right here! Looking at the tragic situation outside, it is precisely because of this group of thieves that people are displaced, at this time, His Majesty's punishment of thieves will definitely let people see His Majesty's mercy and majesty, and the former emperor will definitely feel relieved because His Majesty protects the imperial capital...... Your Majesty? Earnest's tone was full of fanaticism, and he turned his head, hoping that the little emperor would still be the same as before, and that he would be able to do what he said with only a little encouragement. But today, Earnest strangely found that the little emperor was not angry, but only shocked in his eyes

"Why...... little emperor stood up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists, "Why, why are you"

"It's you?!" Leonay and Tazmi, who were behind Brand, were equally surprised to find that the emperor sitting on the dragon chair was the child they had seen that day

"This is really unexpected...... Leonay scratched the back of his head in annoyance, "no matter how you look at it, it feels very different from the image of a tyrant in your mind."

"Yes, I thought this was a bear child who didn't know anything about the world" Ma Yin pursed her lips, and the pumpkin in her hand was raised and lowered, "I really don't know what my foreign friends will look when they know that the oppressor they call is a child who is less than half their age"

"Why are you attacking at night?" The Little Emperor asked, "Why are you the ones who want to overthrow the Empire?!" ”

"You have seen the situation in this country, Your Majesty," argued Tazmi, "the poor reach out and no one helps, but the rich can take care of their lives as they please!" Iyeas, Sayo...... They all died because of it! If the country reaches such a point, it must be changed! ”

"Your Majesty! Don't believe their fallacies! Fear appeared in Ornest's tone, the Supreme Emperor Gu did not launch when he was attacked just now, which showed that in the little emperor's heart, his position was not as important as before, "Your Majesty! It was these thieves who made the imperial capital fall into flames! For the sake of the Emperor's capital and the future of the Empire, His Majesty must bring the wrath of punishment down on the thieves! Otherwise, where is the majesty of the royal family, if the emperor sees your indecisive appearance now, he will also be sad."

"Shut up! Minister Onester! Brand roared, raising his demon-ridden spear and pointing it at the minister, "It was you who slandered the emperor like you did now, which led to the arrest of the famous General Liva, right? It is because of slander that the people of the empire will be miserable! Once I was an Imperial soldier, if it wasn't for the persecution of the Empire that made me see the darkness, how could I have chosen to overthrow the Empire I served"

"I ......"

"You also saw Your Majesty, the war outside" Just as the little emperor was about to say something, the red pupil picked up Brand's words, "If this world is a world where everyone can live, and everyone can live a better life by their own efforts, how can anyone want to overthrow it." War leads to death, and everyone is trying to live! No one wants to die, but when it becomes a luxury to live like a normal person, resisting with your life is the only way"

"They must not be trusted, Your Majesty!" Earnest couldn't suppress his voice any longer, and turned to the little emperor and shouted, "These thieves are just shaking Your Majesty's will with groundless stories!" You must not fall for their tricks! ”

"I ......" The little emperor sat down on the dragon chair as if he had lost his strength, his hands covering his forehead, his voice trembling "I saw it, I heard it, but ...... How could an empire that had been inherited for thousands of years be destroyed in my hands...... This is a holy war, and it is impossible to turn back! ”

The red pupils also showed a resolute look on their faces. Indeed, at this point, it is no longer possible to solve the problem by negotiation, the fruits of victory are close at hand, the revolutionary army will never stop, and as long as the emperor is still there, the imperial army will not be able to be captured, it seems that the problem can only be solved by fighting

Isn't it your death or my death?

"No, you can turn back" Suddenly, another voice sounded from behind Brand and the others. They looked back and saw Qiuchen walking out of the dark corridor, dragging another figure in his hand, but looking at the fatal wound on the man's chest, this must be a corpse "There is still a chance to turn back, Your Majesty the Emperor...... Although only for the last time"

"Where have you been?" Ma Yin asked, pouting. Halfway through, she had just had a round with Hill and Brand when Autumn Dust was gone

Regarding Ma Yin's question, Qiuchen stretched out his finger and hissed to signal her to be quiet. Then he squinted his eyes at Chancellor Ornest

"Finally meet, Earnest ......"

Qiuchen smiled lightly, and threw the corpse in front of Minister Earnest with a wave of his hand, Earnest took a step back in fright, and almost tripped over the steps behind him, "You should know this person, Onester." These are the envoys of your so-called allegiance to the Empire, or in other words...... How long have you been working with these reincarnators? Well? What good did they promise you? Live forever? Still is...... The dragon chair behind you? Or both? ”
