Chapter 587: A Critical Moment

The royal capital, which originally thought that it had the advantage, reversed the situation again with the rout of the local coalition army, which made the vast majority of people not come back to their senses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

How could the border army and the Medusa army, which obviously existed as reinforcements, stand on the opposite side of the enemy in an instant? This is not at all foreshadowing.

Moreover, didn't the border army always support Rhaega with a clear banner before? and made great contributions to Rhaega to the throne, how can you say that it is the opposite?

There are also rumors that the second prince Leighton, who has been shown to the public by Wren on the Western Front, has also entered the public eye again, which is the most shocking.

"What is Wren's idea, first supporting His Majesty Rhaegar and dealing with Leighton, and now he is in turn supporting Leighton and opposing His Majesty Rhaegar. ”

"That's not the point, we were originally biased towards His Highness Leighton, but we were forced by the situation to stand on Rhaeggar's side, and now it's time to choose again. ”

"Compared with His Royal Highness Leighton and His Majesty Rhaeggar, whether it is his wrist or personal charm, it is indeed His Royal Highness Leighton who is more suitable to be the emperor, right?"

The nobles in the royal capital have gathered more than once to discuss this issue, and after Rhaegar announced his accession to the throne three years ago, he has carried out a bloody crackdown on Leo and Leighton's faction, wantonly eliminating dissidents, and installing his cronies in key positions to fully control the royal capital.

But many of the nobles in the royal capital were centrists who survived the incident and continued to hold important positions.

Although they support Rhaegar on the surface, they are still skeptical of Rhaeggar's various decisions in the past three years, believing that they are not very appropriate.

Compared with the original Layton, his governing style was more in line with the interests of these nobles, but Layton was too busy to take care of himself at that time.

They can only swallow such thoughts back, where dare to mention it on the table, but now it is different, Layton is back strongly.

And this time it has received support from all sides, which is very different from the original situation, and everyone has reason to believe that the king may not be able to hold it!

"Speaking of rumors about His Majesty's bloodline, there have been rumors for a while before, but at that time Rhaegar was still in control. ”

"That's right, public opinion still has to have absolute power in your hands, and whoever dares to discuss this matter at that time is simply looking for death. ”

"Now the situation is different, and Rhaegar and the Emperor don't look like each other a little bit, maybe that rumor is true. ”

"It doesn't matter if he's true or not, anyway, as long as there is a legitimate slogan, even if we oppose him, we have a righteous name, we must make a decision!"

The nobles who are secretly negotiating have a tendency to move, a storm is brewing underground in the royal capital, and more and more suspicious elements are beginning to haunt the streets, which brings a lot of pressure to law and order, but the garrison has to deal with the invasion of elite legions, where can this be managed?

There are even people with ulterior motives who frequently spread all kinds of news in the streets and alleys of the royal capital, which makes the hearts of the people in the royal capital more and more unstable, and people are talking about it.

"A lot of things have happened in the royal capital in the past two days, many corpses of soldiers can be seen on the streets early in the morning, and fires have also broken out in the major weapons depots, who is responsible for this, is the security in the royal capital so bad? Speaking of which, it is forbidden to enter and exit, how did the assassins get in?"

"Look at this situation is not mixed in, but has been lurking in the royal capital for a long time, guess who is so able to forbear, when several princes competed for the throne in the royal capital, this force did not emerge, but now this situation has suddenly surfaced. ”

"It is definitely not any of the princes who can endure to this extent, they have already used this kind of means, why wait until today? I am afraid that the only ones who can do this level are those unwilling people left over from the previous dynasty, they have been dormant for many years. ”

"In the past, there was the Prime Minister Gomez who suppressed them, but since the death of Lord Gomez, the rebels of the previous dynasty have no leader, and they have gradually begun to move, speaking of which, Gomez's grandson Gatlin has not been seen for a long time, where has he gone?"

"Now is not the time to care about Gatling, this morning when I went to the castle tower to deliver food, I saw a lot of strange things outside the castle tower, I heard the soldiers say, it seems to be the Far Eastern Army through the cargo ship to transport siege weapons, I have never seen such a big guy......"

The citizens of the royal capital sighed as they discussed the various law and order incidents that had occurred recently, as well as the large siege weapons that had arrived outside the city.

Obviously, they were not optimistic that the garrison would be able to resist, and the king was facing unprecedented pressure, and no one could guarantee that the king would be able to hold on.

Even the citizens are aware of this, not to mention the many ministers of the Empire who are at the center of the Lionheart's Tower, who are once again fighting for each other.

"What are you talking about? Peacemaking? Do you know that this is a naked act of rebellion? We must fight to the end, and we must not give in!"

"But will our garrison really be able to sustain the attacks of those elite armies? ”

"We still have magic cannons, if they dare to attack the city, they will bomb them all, and the king will never be captured by that kind of guy!"

"Even if we have magic cannons, they also have countermeasures, Your Majesty, why didn't he come to the meeting today, it's such a critical time!"

The ministers were divided into two factions, the main battle faction and the main battle faction until the arrival of the Medusa army, the main battle faction still had the upper hand, believing that it had the advantage in all aspects.

However, with the rout of the local coalition forces, the voice of the Lord and the faction became louder and louder, and now the balance of forces between the two sides has changed fundamentally.

"Well, is this meeting like this again? Sure enough, after Lord Gomez is gone, there will be no backbone, and the discussion will be so difficult. ”

"And the recent rumors about Your Majesty...... Does it really make sense for us to persist like this? I really don't understand what we are still holding onto. ”

"I also have a sense of foreboding, whether it is His Majesty Rhaegar or His Royal Highness Leighton, it will still be the Empire after all, but if it is someone else'......"

After the meeting was dismissed, the ministers left the tower, a symbol of power, and avoided whispering to each other.

At the same time, in a dark, damp corner of the prison, the dim candlelight illuminates only a small area.

The man, who has been held here for nearly two months, was the first to get the latest news from the royal capital.

"Layton...... Rennes...... Far East...... Former...... With so many forces gathered in one place, can His Majesty Rhaegar be so calm? What is his reliance on......" Solo fell into thought, the empire has ushered in the most critical moment!
