Chapter 164: Dreaming
After General McShuner's defeat in the First World War in the South, he was recalled to the imperial capital to report on his duties, and his position as commander was replaced by the empress's deliberate placement of his nephew Robert Hobion, who was the first to lead his army to the palace after sealing off the city gates.

Valudi is a huge city, except for the two main roads that the first emperor has always required when he built the city, the other areas are full of alleys and twists. In these alleys, dark shadows flew through the rooftops, rushing from different places to the path that the Grizzly Legion of the Southern City must pass, the main road that the original Varu Emperor called the Triumphant Road.
This triumphal road leads from the South Gate to the Imperial Palace, and the arterial road is wide enough to accommodate six carriages at the same time, and Momochi Yukishige and his ninja army are good at assassination, lurking, and sneak attacks, but they are not worth mentioning in front of the legion-level forces. However, of course, the purpose of the Grizzlies is not to destroy the Grizzly Legion, but to delay their progress and buy more time for Leo in the palace.
There is basically no way to dig traps on the triumphal avenue paved with bluestone slabs, but this is also difficult for the ninjas with all kinds of tricks and tricks. As Robert led his Grizzly Legion in a neat queue from the Triumphal Avenue to the palace, the soldiers were constantly pierced through their insteps and tumbled to the ground, and the marching queue was disrupted by the soldiers who were rolling in pain.
Robert, who was anxiously reprimanding the soldiers, was reminded by his cronies to look in the direction of the palace on Triumph Boulevard. It was found that on the avenue, thistles were scattered everywhere, although these were not quenched, but as long as someone stepped on it and turned to the ground, it would disrupt the marching formation of the grizzly legion.
"Damn, who the hell would dare to use such despicable means to stop me from going to the rescue!" Robert cursed hatefully, but in desperation he could only send a team of soldiers to clear the way in front and pick up the thistles scattered on the road in advance.
But how could the ninjas be so easy to let them destroy the thistles? Blowing arrows, shurikens, and crossbows from the flowers on both sides of the road, from the walls of several houses, from the towering bell towers, knocked the soldiers who cleared the wreckers to the ground.
"Damn it! Archers! Archers prepare!" Robert saw that the soldiers he had sent to clear the wrecker had fallen under the enemy's sneak attack, and he was furious and deployed the archers, and then sent a team of wreckers again, if those hateful sneak attackers dared to strike again, let them taste the taste of ten thousand arrows.
This time, the wreckers were trembling and cleared out a part of the thistle terrestris in front of them, and they were not attacked. Robert thought that it must be those who were hiding in the shadows, afraid of the threat of the archers, and did not dare to strike again, so he ordered the rear team to quickly follow the footsteps of the wreckers and speed up the pace.
But just as the archers were pulling their arrows loose, several smoke bombs were suddenly thrown from both sides of the road, and the thick white smoke quickly enveloped the ranks of archers, and under the shroud of smoke, those archers could not see the location of the sneak attackers at all, and they did not dare to release their arrows casually for fear of accidental injury.
The ninjas had no scruples, and once again countless hidden weapons shrouded the wreckers and the archers in the smoke, and when the smoke gradually cleared, Robert found that there were soldiers lying on the ground again.
"Your Excellency Legion Commander, we can't go on like this, these people clearly want to prevent us from supporting the Imperial Palace, if we spend time here, I'm afraid something will happen to the Queen's side. Robert's cronies stepped forward to warn him.
"Yes, you're right, you can't waste more time with these guys who only hide in the gutter and hurt people with hidden arrows, and immediately order the soldiers to force through, I don't believe that their hidden weapons will have more people than mine!" Robert didn't care about the lives of those ordinary soldiers at all, and forced his soldiers to force their way through the area covered with thistles, and the soldiers who stepped on the thistles were immediately driven to both sides of the road, clearing the way for the soldiers behind to pass.
Not to mention, Robert's stunned approach of not sparing the lives of soldiers just restrained the plan of a thousand lucky people, the ninjas are not good at attacking fortifications and frontal combat, even if all the hidden weapons they carry are used up, they can't hurt the fur of the Grizzly Legion. After Robert ignored them, the ninjas' little tricks were useless.
Even so, the ninja army dragged Robert's grizzly legion for a short while, and when Robert arrived at the gate of the palace where the city gate was smashed open, several other legions of the four major legions had also arrived at the palace. Ney, who was originally guarding at the gate of the palace, saw that the enemy army was strong, and hurriedly ordered Wu Jin to lead the Wei soldiers to withdraw into the palace and join Li Ao first.
In the palace, the old Emperor Gavin XII insisted on ordering Raymond to carry him to the queen's bedchamber, he wanted to see this vicious woman, this woman who wanted to plot his throne.
Everyone I met along the way, whether it was a chamberlain or a guard, saw the appearance of the old emperor, and they fell to the ground one after another, not daring to have the slightest disobedience, which made the old emperor's originally strong heart gradually let go, and most of them were still loyal to the imperial family.
"Your Royal Highness, what can we do now? Let's run away quickly!" Andrews was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was so anxious in front of the queen that he didn't care about any dignity and etiquette.
"Escape, where can you flee to? There is that Baron Leo in the north, Archduke William's territory in the south, and there is the eye of the Ministry of Supervision in the empire, even if you escape from the imperial capital, you can't escape the eyes of the Ministry of Supervision!" The queen's face was as pale as water, and she calmly looked at her palm, as if there was some treasure on her slender and beautiful fingernails.
"Well, then we can't wait for death like this? You must know that the Knights of Light have breached the gates of the palace, and if Cardinal Owen asks them to kill them, we will all die. "Andrews is not as calm as the Queen.
"No, His Majesty Owen can't wait for the internal strife in the Varu Empire, he won't let the Knights of Light attack us, you can rest assured of this. Now wait patiently for the arrival of the four legions. When the time comes, even if that kid from Raymond has wings, he won't be able to fly out of the palm of my hand! This empire is destined to be mine!" the queen's white palm slammed into her hands, as if she wanted to hold the entire empire in her hands.
"Dream!" From outside the palace, an old and frail but exceptionally determined voice came, which made the queen's face instantly pale and terrifying. (To be continued.) )
