Volume 2: The Mercenary's Revenge Chapter Seventy-Six: The Empire (6) The whole city is under martial law
The imperial capital will be held every day, generally a small meeting on three days, a conference on seven days, Sass the Great will basically only attend the conference, and there is generally no major event, he sometimes even lazy to attend the conference, this poor people's riot is the largest domestic turmoil in the empire in recent years, which also alarmed the emperor who has lived in the underground palace for a long time, and it seems that he still attaches great importance to this matter.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if these untouchables are not disciplined, they will definitely cause a catastrophe in the future!"
At this time, the ministers at the court meeting began to argue with each other, basically two opinions, the first was to adopt a uniform and severe punishment for all the inhabitants of the slums, restricting their freedom of travel. The second is to set up a temporary investigation team to thoroughly investigate the cause of yesterday's unrest, arrest the party as soon as it is confirmed, and at the same time take gentle measures against the slums to try to calm their emotions.
These two plans have their own drawbacks, so they led to the formation of two groups of people with clear opinions at the court meeting, they quarreled with each other, and even did not hesitate to explode foul language, and the entire court became a noisy vegetable market at this time, filled with all kinds of scolding.
"Alright!" Emperor Sass groaned, "Tell the order, martial law in the whole city!"
"Your Majesty think twice! Once the whole city is imposed martial law, it will inevitably cause panic among the people, and then there will be endless troubles!!" the ministers below persuaded one after another.
"I have my own measure, Sik, you lead the patrol army to set up a guard post at the border between the slum and the commercial and aristocratic areas, and no one in any area is allowed to move across the area, and anyone who does not obey the order will be arrested. ”
"Obey!" Sick was extremely excited at the moment, this was a task personally assigned by the Emperor, and its importance could be imagined.
In a voice of doubt, the emperor ended the court meeting, although the underground ministers were very puzzled by the instructions of the Sass Great, but no one dared to be tough in person, and they all had to hold their breath back in their stomachs, and each led their own errands to the court meeting.
Clinters pulled Senier aside and asked sharply, "You did all this, why are you in such a hurry!"
"Prime Minister, I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"Don't be confused, you didn't instigate the poor people's riot on the outskirts last night. ”
"My Prime Minister, your imagination is too rich, and I, Senil, no matter how stupid I am, will not find those defenseless poor people to make trouble!
"It's not for you, I'm really afraid that the emperor will call your name on the spot when I meet today. ”
"Relax, you haven't done anything right now, what are you afraid of!"
"Now that the poor are rioting and the whole city is under martial law, I wonder if you can delay the plan. Klings asked.
"On the contrary, I'm thinking about moving forward!"
Nineil's words frightened Klings, at this critical moment of martial law in the whole city, you actually want to do this, aren't you looking for death?
"You're not kidding, you planned ahead, didn't you just get into their trap. ”
"Don't be afraid, Prime Minister, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, how can I harm you?" said Senier, looking around at the surroundings, "Since the Emperor has issued an order for martial law in the whole city, the patrol army will definitely send most of its troops to the borders of various regions, which will inevitably lead to the administrative district and the emperor."
With the city's guards empty, and the duel night finals in a few days, the eyes of everyone up and down the Imperial Capital will be attracted to that tournament, so it would not be the best time for us to go straight to the Imperial Garden. As soon as Senier spoke of his plan, his whole body became excited.
"Have you forgotten that there is an iron-blooded silver wolf army stationed next to the Imperial Garden? ”
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about this, you shouldn't know that the Silver Wolf Army has an unwritten rule!" said Zenier.
"What rules?"
"The Iron and Silver Wolf Army is directly under the jurisdiction of Sigeris, and all transfers and assignments must be made through his seal, and no other person's orders will be of any use. ”
"Isn't the Emperor's good?"
"That's right, no one can give orders, not even our high Sass Emperor. ”
"No wonder as long as the emperor doesn't ask about the Silver Wolf Army, any instructions will be read one word. "Klins has submitted many letters about the reorganization of the Iron and Silver Wolf Army, but all of them have been lost without exception, and it is only now that he understands what is at stake.
"Then how can you hide it from him?"
"It's very simple, he goes to see every duel night final, and we take advantage of this gap to implement the plan. Senier said confidently.
"What are your chances of the whole thing?"
"Less than forty percent. ”
"It's forty percent!!" Klings almost cried out, you talked there for a long time and planned to tell me that in the end it was not forty percent of the success rate, didn't you make it clear that you would pull me into the sea of swords and fire.
"This is already considered high, if it weren't for the emperor's martial law in the whole city to disperse our troops for us, it is estimated that there would be no twenty percent. Although Senir had a thorough plan, he had to admit that the current Henassas Empire was too powerful, and even if he wanted to collapse from within, it would be difficult.
"You can't lie dormant for a few more years, and then make plans when the time comes, and my Klin clan will definitely not be buried in my hands. ”
"Prime Minister, I think you are getting old, and your courage has become smaller, nothing in this world is 100% successful, once we miss a certain opportunity, it may not be able to wait for the next time for a lifetime, if you don't fight now, you won't have a chance to fight in the future." ”

Since Yi Tian escaped from the Thorn Forest last night, he immediately returned to the "Imperial Capital Night", and sure enough, the retinue of the noble children there was waiting for him, and they took advantage of the night to send Yi Tian back to the annex located in the administrative district. After that, Yi Tian learned that the patrol came to take over the scene in the second half of that night, and also verified the identity one by one.
The sunset is like blood, and the sunset will smear the bright red that seems to be so thick that it can't be dissolved, on what should be a colorful and noisy imperial capital. Large groups of birds are flying back to their nests, chirping in the air.
The sound of horses' hooves resounded through the streets, and dozens of horses in leather armor roamed the streets in great order, all in heavy armor and with long iron spears interspersed with bridles
The once bustling street market was now deserted, and after the imposition of martial law on the whole city, the entire imperial capital fell into a deathly silence after dark, and there was not a single one
People dare to venture out into the streets, and all that remains on the streets is the sound of horses' hooves echoing.
The whole city is divided into three areas, south, north, and west, according to the statistics of each exit from the city the day before yesterday, basically the poor people on the north and south sides go out of the city less, and the vast majority of those who go to the arena to watch the game are the poor people who belong to the west, so the west is also the top priority of martial law. In view of the current situation, the interim commander-in-chief of the patrol force, Sik, also made adjustments, and transferred half of his troops to the sentry posts facing the commercial area, and the number of people almost sealed the entrance and exit of the entire slum. It is precisely because of this paper decree that the people in the slum area are full of complaints, and the closure of the entrance and exit has deprived those who need to enter and exit on weekdays from the intersection, which has also caused them to lose their jobs to support their families, which is a complete desperate force for these poor people. From the day the road was closed, almost every few hours those posts were surrounded by the poor, and as soon as the previous post was reported, the next post was reported, and in just one day, Sick received dozens of reinforcement reports, which was half dead to death.
Just when the two sides were tense, the savior of the slum Verst finally reappeared after many days, under his appeasement, those increasingly angry slums stopped the siege, and then Versst walked out of the slum and talked directly to Sick for a long time, no one knew what they talked about, but it seemed that the result was very good, the next day Sick transferred part of the patrol, and opened two exits to the slum, of course, anyone who entered and exited here had to go through strict inspections before they could be allowed to pass, so that the implementation of the decree also indirectly made the relationship between the slum residents and the patrol greatly improvedAfter all, no pauper wants to be an enemy of the Empire, and as long as their lives can go on, they have no complaints even if they lose a part of their freedom.
Sass the Great has been living in the Imperial Garden for the past few days, he is very concerned about the matter of the poor people's riots, he originally thought that under his wise rule, the entire empire is moving in a good direction, but now everything has slapped himself in the face, he did not expect that there would be such a once-in-a-century riot in the place where his majesty ruled, which also made him feel a sense of crisis. On that day, the emperor not only issued a decree of martial law in the whole city, but also issued several dispatch orders, but due to the emperor's caution, he did not announce it in public in the court meeting, but secretly arranged for the envoys to enter the palace for interviews after the meeting, and including the military god Sigeris and his iron-blooded silver wolf infantry regiment.

"I've always had a question, which force are you going to use to carry out your plan?" asked Klings.
"Naturally, you can't choose people randomly, if you want to choose, choose the strongest. Speaking of this, Seniel smiled ghostly, "And the strongest is right next to me." ”
"Silver Wolf Army!" Clinters couldn't believe his ears, "Didn't you say it only listened to Sijger?"
"In the face of money, there is no absolute loyalty, as long as you have the money, even the Silver Wolf Army can become your personal mercenary. ”
"No wonder you're spending a lot of money on the military. ”
"As long as you do what I say, then everything will be under control. ”
Ever since he knew that the Silver Wolf Army would be involved, Klings's heart slowly fell, and it seemed that it was time to fight for his life.
