The news that the imperial concubine Meryl was wise and brave, set up a plan and went to the battlefield in person, and captured the alliance team with her own hands, which soon spread throughout the imperial capital.

It is rumored that the imperial concubine set up a net to lead the cunning and despicable alliance thief into a trap, and then captured the other party alive with her own strength, which is simply mighty.

However, the reputation of the imperial concubine Meryl among the people has always been good, although the princess's behavior is quite absurd, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Meryl's various words and deeds that do not pay attention to majesty are more approachable. What's more, since she was in charge of the security of the imperial capital, the public security situation has improved significantly. In the past, the underworld forces that were rampant in the imperial capital were all swept away harshly and ruthlessly. Even the nobles of the imperial capital who acted as a protective umbrella fell several times!

In other words, the sheriff who dared to offend the anger of the public had already been solved overtly or covertly, but Meryl was a soft and hard character, on the one hand, with the connivance of the emperor, on the other hand, she had extraordinary strength, and she was really at home in the position of sheriff.

Now, Meryl has once again refreshed her own myth, and the alliance team that has caused countless headaches has finally been caught under Meryl's wisdom! Even the little princess who was kidnapped is safe and sound!

The whole thing is perfect, the only regret......

The imperial princess Rebecca was actually confirmed as treason!

This piece of news was jointly released by the Imperial Concubine Meryl and Master Feiyun, and there will be no fakes. It is hard to understand why this royal advisor, who had just done great things for the Empire, suddenly declared a mutiny, but since it had been done, it ...... Just accept the reality.

Unlike Meryl, Rebecca's reputation among the people is not very good, and her sordid background and Northland ancestry make it very difficult for most nationalist Empire people to accept. Although she is a real imperial princess, even though she has made great contributions to the empire regardless of her past suspicions.

Therefore, the news of Rebecca's defection did not make too many people feel anything, and after the initial surprise, everyone soon found all kinds of reasons to explain her actions. For example, the previous lobbying alliance was only a prelude to a conspiracy, and Rebecca had already betrayed her position when she left the empire for the Northlands - a conjecture that had received considerable support. Because the current situation is indeed that those countries in the north that have signed the contract have begun to move again, forcing the imperial front-line troops to have to transfer a group of troops back to defense.

Another theory is that Rebecca and Meryl's personal conflict led to the former's rebellion. The news of the discord between the two imperial concubines is not news in the imperial capital, so this conjecture is also reasonable.

The last one is the one closest to the truth: Rebecca was stodied by the Alliance thief Tongue Canlian. After all, Rebecca's reversal of position was after she was hijacked by alliance thieves, but not many people believed this rumor, because ...... No matter how you think about it, Rebecca has no reason to help the Freedom Alliance, a despicable and cowardly country, and there is still a blood factor in helping the Northland.

In any case, a war involving the entire imperial capital came to an end. The culprit alliance team, including their peerless genius captain Wang Wu, and several team members, were all imprisoned in a secret prison in the palace, waiting to be released.

In other words, if it is an ordinary criminal, it is natural to kill on the spot, but the value of this squad is different, they are the first alliance army to penetrate deep into the territory of the empire and cause serious damage since the start of the war, breaking the concept of many imperial people: this war will not threaten the empire itself. It has even led many in the empire to wonder if the Liberal Alliance is really as fragile as it is rumored?...,

Naturally, such a squad cannot be slaughtered casually, and must choose a suitable time and place to cooperate with a passionate patriotic propaganda campaign. At present, the Imperial Capital Guard is actively preparing, and a number of patriotic veterans will be invited to talk about the importance of patriotism and the greatness of sacrificing their lives for the country. At the same time, after the event, a large-scale fundraising event will be held, and everyone is welcome to actively contribute to the frontline fighters.

In fact, Meryl also suggested that the corpses of the executed members of the alliance team could be auctioned off in a grand manner, and there must be many nobles in the imperial capital who lost their beloved sons in the riots, eager to eat their flesh raw.

"Anyway, the kind of family with a single seedling, this time it is considered a failure, and it is a waste to keep a huge inheritance, so it is better to squeeze it out to enrich the treasury~"

Unfortunately, this proposal was eventually rejected because ......

"It's the profiteers of the Freedom Alliance who will do this! The Holy Empire doesn't engage in such crooked ways!"

“...... Hey, Elder, why do I think you're trying to take it for yourself?"

"Nonsense!"

"Let's just talk about it, don't be busy blowing your beard and staring, I'm a hero, a hero!"

In any case, because of the strong opposition of the royal elders, Meryl's genius idea eventually went down the drain. But Meryl is undoubtedly the most brilliant point in the entire war.

To this end, the Imperial Family held a small celebration in the palace to reward Meryl, a rebellious woman in the palace, and write off her old accounts. At the same time, the soldiers of the Guards who had contributed to the defense of the imperial capital were invited and received by members of the imperial family.

Lucky Simond is in the middle of this team. It's just that compared to the excitement of his teammates, he seems a little distracted.

You will be able to enter the inner sanctums of the palace and be received by members of the royal family...... This is the lifelong dream of many Empires, but Simmond is not happy.

As a survivor of the war after encountering the Alliance team, Symond received a Yellow Order for his bravery, which is quite a good result in the Imperial Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple medal hierarchy - because even Meryl, the core of the defense war, only got a Blue Medal, which is still a bonus to the status of the imperial princess.

A Yellow Order is almost equivalent to a hereditary title, and its value is immeasurable, and it is immeasurable for Simmond, who was born in a hereditary aristocracy. It's just that...... Pinching the medal in his hand, Simmond always felt a little heartache.

This medal was exchanged for the lives of more than a dozen teammates, and the black shadow that suddenly burst out of the sewer almost killed everyone in Simmond's team before he left. At that time, Simmond was so desperate that he almost killed himself!

Later, when she finally heard the good news of victory, the princess Meryl was clever enough to lead the alliance thieves into a trap and capture them in one fell swoop, and she was to be executed in a few days, which was considered to be avenging her teammates, but ......

Simmond faintly heard that the previous sacrifice was also the calculation of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess. The layout of the Imperial Princess, from the very beginning, was determined to have enough sacrifices to reduce the vigilance of the opponent, so as to lead the opponent into a trap.

In other words, Simmond was nothing more than cannon fodder!

As a soldier, it is really common to be cannon fodder, and if you don't have the consciousness of cannon fodder, don't join the army, which Simmond has long known, but whenever he thinks of the voices and smiles of those dead comrades, he feels sad.

The celebration was followed by a grand dinner, with exquisite dishes on the table, and even in times of war, the palace was well supplied with supplies - with two full-time senior dream builders in charge of the projections.

Having eaten nothing, Simmond hastily filled his stomach and wandered around as far as the palace allowed. ...,

Originally, it was just to distract himself, but he didn't want to, the structure of the Imperial Palace was complicated, and after going around twice, he couldn't find his way back at all. I was thinking about whether to shout for help, but I suddenly felt a tap on the shoulder.

Because this came down too suddenly, Simmond's whole body trembled, and he turned his head sharply, only to find that the person who was playing the prank behind him was Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess!

Simmond hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness." ”

"You're welcome~ Why did you come here?"

Simmond smiled wryly: "Lost." After saying that, he sighed involuntarily.

Meryl's eyes wandered, and she smiled smartly: "Why, you seem to be sad, are you remembering your comrades?"

Simmond was surprised when he was told about it, and then he thought of some of the rebellious thoughts he had had, and he couldn't help but panic.

"No, nothing, it's just...... I feel useless. ”

"It's useless? Do you know that at that time, there were six attacks at the entrance and exit of the sewers of the imperial capital, and the black shadow you encountered...... It's Wang Wu himself. ”

"Ahh

Simmond was really surprised, he didn't expect that he had actually fought the legendary demonic League thief, and ...... survived.

"It's amazing to be able to survive, even I almost broke in his hands...... That guy is not an opponent who can be won without sacrifice. ”

"Yes...... I understand. ”

Symond had mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say. Is Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine comforting him? That's really flattering.

"By the way, would you be interested in seeing him in person?"

Symond looked up puzzled and asked, "Myself?"

"Yes, Wang Wu himself is now locked up in the palace prison, do you want to see him?"

Simmond stammered.

Do you want to say if you want to...... Of course he really wanted to! He really wanted to eat the flesh raw! But what did Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine mean by saying this now?

"I'll take you to see him, don't you want to see it? ”

Simmond was a little embarrassed: "I want to think, but why did you choose me ......"

"You're lucky~ Okay, don't ink, since you want to see it, then follow me!"

As she spoke, Meryl took Simmond's hand. Mond felt his body light, and he was pulled forward.

"Emperor, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess!?"

"Oh, it's not like I'm cheating on you, what are you afraid of~"

Yes, don't be afraid, it's just to arrest you and send you to death, the emperor ** person, you should treat death as home, right?
