"Huh?"

Yan Xiaoyi heard the voice, and a general with a big waist and a round body and heavy armor slowly walked from a distance, and with each step he took, the soldiers in front of him retreated to the left and right in unison, in order to make room for his strong body.

"Portman Milak?!! what are you doing here?" Yan Xiaoyi asked loudly after seeing the person coming clearly.

Portman Milak, the only member of the Left-Prime Mirak family who has a little military power, is also the younger brother of Left-Minister. At the beginning, in order to gain a certain right to speak in the army, Zuo Xiang took advantage of the opportunity of the expansion of the Blazing Empire to let Portman enter the army, and this matter was actually helped by Lance III in secret, so it went very smoothly.

Lance III's intention was obvious, he just didn't want to see the military general faction led by the Yan family dominate the army, so he deliberately placed Portman, who belonged to the Wenchen faction, to play a certain role in checking and balancing. Of course, correspondingly, he also selected a few of the descendants of several military generals to make them clerical positions, which in the eyes of Reims III is the so-called way of royal checks and balances.

It's a pity that Portman is too uncompetitive, and after several years in the army, instead of establishing a certain prestige in the army, he has also gained a bad reputation. The title of 'Careful Eye' Portman did not appear in vain, and during his years in the army, Portman ate Hesses, extorted extortions, and even did not do such things as deducting military salaries. Anyone who has a little criticism of his actions or who offends him a little is all made by him with the help of the power of the left minister, and life is worse than death.

If the soldiers of the Blazing Empire were both respectful and fearful of Yan Xiaoyi, then there was only disgust and fear left for Portman.

In the past, in the army, Yan Xiaoyi looked down on Portman, a waste who ate and waited for death, and Portman was naturally not on the right path with Yan Xiaoyi. However, usually taken by the prestige of the two brothers Yan Xiaotian and Yan Xiaoyi in the army, Portman really didn't dare to make any small moves. But since Yan Xiaotian and Yan Xiaoyi retired from the army, and Yan Mad took over as the general, Portman began to be arrogant.

Coupled with the recent defeat of the Blazing Empire and the Beasts, Lance III took this incident as an opportunity to divide part of the military power of the military faction and handed over this part of the military power to Portman, who belonged to the Wenchen family, after Portman suddenly felt that his waist could be straightened.

No, as soon as he received his eldest brother's order, Portman couldn't wait to run to Yan's house to demonstrate.

After hearing Yan Xiaoyi's questioning, Portman sneered and said, "Yan Xiaoyi, don't you want to know why there is an army surrounding your Yan family? I'm here to tell you why." ”

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, let it go!" Yan Xiaoyi glanced at Portman with disdain, and secretly said that the villain was proud.

Portman was enraged by Yan Xiaoyi's disdainful expression, and said angrily: "Yan Xiaoyi, don't be crazy, what have your Yan family done to be sorry for Your Majesty and sorry for the empire, it's better to say it yourself, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”

"Hmph, joke, my Yan family has been loyal to assist the kings of the past since the founding of the Blazing Empire, how to talk about being sorry Your Majesty, sorry for the Blazing Empire. Yan Xiaoyi said proudly.

"If you didn't do anything, then why did Your Majesty order to arrest everyone in your Yan family. Portman smirked.

Lance III ordered the arrest of the Yan family?

Yan Xiaoyi was completely confused, although Lance III had been dissatisfied with the Yan family, who held military power, since he succeeded to the throne, he couldn't do it directly against the Yan family.

What's more, in the past few years, in the face of Lance III's intervention in military affairs several times, and even the action of dividing part of the military power, the military general faction led by the Yan family has endured it. For what? It's not all about the Blazing Empire continuing to reign on the continent of Arad.

Who would have thought that years of forbearance would be exchanged for such a result now, and it would be absolutely nonsense to say that he was not angry.

However, Yan Xiaoyi, who has always been rough-hearted, was careful at this time, as long as Lance III didn't have a brain problem, he wouldn't choose to meet the Yan family. Because doing so would only greatly damage the vitality of the Blazing Empire, and the other four countries of the continent would reap the benefits. Then there is only one explanation for the current situation, that is, the left minister has defected and controlled the royal family led by Reims III.

Seeing Yan Xiaoyi standing at the gate of the Yan family in a daze, Portman waved his big hand and said, "Left and right, give me all the upper and lower people, and put all the people of the Yan family in prison." ”

When the soldiers heard this, you look at me, I look at me, and they didn't dare to step forward, although they were reserves, they knew everything about the prestige of the Yan family in the Blazing Empire's army.

Seeing this, Portman was furious: "Don't you give it to me quickly! Do you want to disobey His Majesty's order of the Emperor, and once again, arrest all the people in the Yan family, and those who violate the order will be punished by military law!"

At the mention of military law, the soldiers were obviously shaken, and they hesitated to move closer to Yan Xiaoyi.

Yan Xiaoyi took a deep breath and shouted: "I see which of you dares to come over, and if you take a step forward, I, Yan Xiaoyi, recognize you, but my knife can't be recognized." ”

As Yan Xiaoyi's words fell, the guards standing behind him also took out their weapons one after another, looking at the soldiers in front of them with a stern look, even if the number of these soldiers was ten times that of them, they did not change their faces at all.

Seeing Yan Xiaoyi take out his weapon, the soldiers also raised the spears in their hands, but even so, the soldiers still didn't dare to take a step forward.

For a while, the two sides confronted each other at this spacious gate.

......

At the same time, inside the palace.

Just as Yan Xiaoyi thought, the palace has indeed been controlled by Zuo Xiang.

The Praetorian Guards who originally guarded the palace were now all gone, replaced by groups of men in black with murderous aura.

In the main hall of the palace, Lance III looked at a middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair as if he were in water, the seat should have been sitting on him, but now he had to give it up for the sake of his life.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

There was a long silence between the two sides, and Lance III was the first to ask.

The middle-aged man smiled evilly and said, "Oh, my Imperial Majesty, don't put on a straight face, come and laugh, you must know that I am helping you clear the obstacles now." Haven't you always regarded the military general faction led by the Yan family as a thorn in the flesh, and now that I have worked tirelessly to help you get it done in one fell swoop, you have to thank me. ”

When Lance III heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, the affairs of my Blazing Empire can't be interfered with by an outsider, what do you want to do!"

The middle-aged man didn't answer, but just looked at the sunset outside the main hall with an evil face.

At this moment, a person who was very familiar to Lance III walked in from outside the main hall and bowed respectfully, oh don't make mistake, this salute is not to Lance III, but to the middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair.

"Lord Exo, the forbidden army in the palace has been solved by us, and the major families in the city have also been controlled by the army, what should we do next?

"You are doing well, Deske, and give the order to go down and start the erosion plan immediately. Oxer said.

"Yes. ”

Hearing this, Desk turned around and wanted to leave, but Lance III couldn't bear it anymore and asked sharply: "You stop me, Desk, you are the left minister of the empire, why do you want to collude with this unknown person, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of your Desco family?"

After hearing Lance III's reprimand, Zuo Xiangdeske did not turn around but stopped and said: "It is precisely because the ancestral teachings of my Deske family have hindered me that I killed those old immortals before I acted. So Your Majesty, you don't have to use the ancestral training to pressure me, because the current Deske family is up to me, not to mention that if I hadn't killed those old guys, how could I have incorporated the magic of those old guys' years of penance into my body with the help of Lord Oxer. Now I'm a real sixth-order Grand Magus!"

Desk's robe swayed suddenly, and a coercion mixed with the elements was released from his body.

Lance III was stunned by Deske's words, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and say, "Even then, your so-called erosion plan will not succeed. The Blazing Empire has always been the bloodline of my Lance family to be qualified as emperor, so no matter what you do, you can't change this fact. ”

"Heh......"

Deske smiled contemptuously and slowly walked out of the main hall.

"You!"

Lance III was furious with his unfazed attitude, and he was about to say something, when he heard Oxer sitting on the dragon chair say quietly: "My Majesty, you better save some effort and stay honest." Rest assured, our violent search and capture team has no interest in your so-called throne. As for the reinforcements you're looking forward to, I'm sorry, but that old guy from your royal family has been taken under our control, so it's impossible to have reinforcements to save you now. ”

Oxer's words made Lance III fall into an ice cellar, and the old ancestor was actually controlled?What is the origin of these people?Wait, he just said that the violent search group, isn't this the pagan organization that was hunted down by the Holy Order. No wonder the Old Ancestor would fall into their path in silence, how could it be so easy to be able to be the enemy of the Holy Order.

Thinking that now that the palace was controlled, the ancestors were also controlled, and even the only Yan family that could help them was surrounded by Deske's false orders from him, Lance III could no longer think of anyone who could save him and help the Blazing Empire survive this crisis.

"Could it be that the heavens are going to destroy my Blazing Empire?" muttered Lance III in despair in his heart.

......

Night is falling.

The other families in the Heavenly Fire City were also surrounded by the army sent by Zuo Xiang, although it was not clear what was going on, but the rulers of these families knew that I was afraid that the Blazing Flame Empire was about to change. For a while, these big families ordered their subordinates to close the door and secretly observe the further development of the situation.

At this moment, a small army of all-magicians crept out of a side door of the Blazing Academy, and after a few turns, it disappeared into the vast night.
