At the beginning of March 4830, Coro XVII died.

Before the death of the ruler of the Koro Empire, he was accompanied by only one prince, who was the eleventh prince of Koro XVII, the next heir to the throne.

The eleventh prince cried out in grief and fell to his knees beside the bed of Koro XVII.

An old minister knelt behind the eleventh prince with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "Your Majesty has gone, thrown into the arms of the goddess, and now, the eldest prince is in charge of the imperial capital, and there are fifty or sixty thousand soldiers under his command, and he has the heart of rebellion, the eleventh prince should inherit the throne as soon as possible, and all princes, princesses, officials and nobles should come to Shangri City to cry for His Majesty the great Koro XVII!"

The eleventh prince nodded sadly, and said in a clear manner: "Use the magic communication array to inform the court elders in the palace and ask them to surround the mansion of the eldest prince, temporarily detain him first, and wait for the extradition of the royal knights." ”

......

The news of the death of Coro XVII was soon transmitted back to the headquarters of the Bird Zhai Hall in Tveron City through the intelligence agency secretly set up by the Bird Hall in Shangri City, using a magic communication array.

Zach immediately found a hired magician and passed the news to the prince of the imperial capital.

Airplanes~~

A soft glow of magic lit up, attracting the attention of several old magicians.

"This is ......" An old magician's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly wrote the message on a piece of paper, and trotted all the way to the eldest prince, handing him the paper.

"What? My father died, and the eleventh prince succeeded to the throne!" the eldest prince was stunned at first, and then his face was full of sorrow, and he knelt on the ground and cried.

"The eldest prince, the eldest prince, now is not the time to cry to your majesty, since the eleventh prince has already made a move, we should take action first and control the palace in advance!" a staff member knelt beside the eldest prince and said hurriedly.

The eldest prince was stunned and nodded violently. Grabbing the staff member's arm, he said, "Yes, you're right!" Order the artillery to surround the palace and aim at the palace gate. And with five thousand soldiers, storm the palace and occupy it!"

......

Sonorous!sonorous!sonorous~~

Five thousand well-equipped soldiers quickly occupied the four gates of the palace, most of which were guarded. All of them have been collected by the eldest prince, and the occupation process is extremely fast.

Seventy-two large-caliber long-range artillery pieces, as well as four war giants, stood in front of the royal palace.

The palace gate is the only gate leading to the depths of this palace, and behind the high gate, the court elders are fully responsible.

On the city wall, more than a hundred court swordsmen, looking down on the army below with indifferent faces, they all knew it. Under the cover of the fire net of seventy-two terrifying artillery, except for the Earth Martial Sword Master, no one dared to guarantee that he would escape alive!

Thousands of years ago, personal force may have been powerful, but thousands of years later, long-range artillery, war giants, mechanical crossbows, mass-produced low-level magic scrolls, etc., have gradually formed sharp weapons to restrain swordsmen and magicians.

The empire is becoming more and more stable, and the royal power is centralized and supreme!

The two sides confronted each other, and neither of them made the first move.

The Imperial Capital's Court Elder Worship Regiment. They were forced to wait and see, because whoever became king was the same for them, and their only duty was to be loyal to the royal family.

However, there is that palace door. The eldest prince was also unable to lead his army to break in and control the guardian magic array of the imperial capital.

It is rumored that the imperial capital has a guardian magic array, which is the Koro I of the Koro Empire, and it is suspected that it was arranged by the powerhouse of the Holy Domain himself, and the power is huge. It is claimed that after all the recoveries, it is definitely no less than a demigod spell!

Therefore, the power of the court elder worship group is like the ruling office of the church, basically gathering the power of the highest peak level of the whole Koro, protecting the magic array of the imperial capital, as well as important books and classics, if the eldest prince fights with them, he can only lose both sides and be easily defeated by the army of the eleventh prince.

......

In the middle of March 4830, the southern army village officially declared its allegiance to the prince, and the west army village was in a wait-and-see state, guarding the west city gate, and the soldiers of the whole army were cowering in the barracks.

A few days later, the eldest prince gathered 300,000 troops, ambushed the vanguard of the Beida military village, killed more than 10,000 enemies in a battle, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers fled.

The eleventh prince ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne in Shangri City, known as Koro XVIII, gathering 830,000 people, known as a million army to conquer the rebellion of the eldest prince.

The southern forces were basically emptied, and most of the city guards were requisitioned in the northwest.

The country in the south of the Coro Empire is the Venetian Federal Empire, this country is indisputable, full of gold coins, and the military force is basically composed of hired mercenary groups, so the eleventh prince is relieved and bold to transfer two-thirds of the troops in the south.

The armies of several border defense lines of the Koro Empire have not made any changes, such as Marshal Muzi, the supreme commander of the Chekrav Defense Line, who announced that he was in a wait-and-see state, and it was not easy for anyone to come and borrow troops.

This is a death order issued by the kings of the past dynasties, and it is written in the law, unless the royal family is at a critical juncture of life and death, and the governor of the border area can lead the army to serve and quell the rebellion, otherwise, it is necessary to be vigilant and strictly guard the border, and must not be transferred out without authorization.

At the beginning of April 4830, the eldest prince was defeated in three battles, gave up and occupied four cities, and the eleventh prince's million-strong army won eight battles in ten battles, forming a four-sided encirclement, and the eldest prince's defense line was pierced with holes.

In the same month, the prefect of the Count of Edbele City announced that King Qin and Qing Jun were on the side, which simply and clearly meant: support the eldest prince and plot against Koro XVIII!

"He's rebelling! I'm the new king of the Koro Empire!" "Koro XVIII said with a sneer in the conquest camp: "From now on, remove Li Jun's hereditary earldom and territory, and make him a rebellious minister, and everyone in the world can kill him!"

Five thousand soldiers, armed with truckloads of weapons, huge armor, and more, set out from the city of Edberet and arrived at the border city of Dipont.

Under the "friendly" negotiation between Li Jun and the governor of the Dipont border city, 5,000 soldiers passed through the Dipont border city and arrived in the northwest inland region.

"Five thousand soldiers, what can he do!" said one of the senators under Koro XVIII with such sarcasm.

You must know that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Prince, under the attack of the army of Koro XVIII, are in a decadent defeat one after another, and the five thousand soldiers in this battle are at most just a wave.

"No! According to intelligence, the 5,000 soldiers were only equipped with light armor and light swords, and there were countless heavy vehicles, like an escort brigade. It's not like they're here to fight. A general said loudly.

"You mean, in those heavy carts, what is being held is Li Jun's beast tamer?" asked one of the animal tamers.

"Your Majesty, the general's worries must not be taken lightly. A few days ago, when that traitor Li Jun went to the Beast Tamers Association to report on his work, his one-handed beast taming and summoning skills were amazing, which made many beast taming masters and summoning masters worship......" The old beast tamer stroked his chest towards Koro XVIII, but was abruptly interrupted by the latter: "What are you afraid of? Even if he is the most powerful beast tamer and summoning master in my Koro Empire, can he not rely on his personal strength to fight against my million-strong army?"

......

Li Jun is powerless to resist the great imperial power, but the victory of a war is never the bravery of the army, the quality of the weapons, or the quality of the soldiers.

A good large rear environment. It is the most important factor in whether or not the final victory of the war can be achieved!

Starting from the northwest inland, the 5,000 troops marched south, the speed of the march became much slower because of the heavy chariots, and the towns along the way were heavily guarded and the gates were firmly closed.

"Sir, there is the largest iron mine in the entire northwest ahead, and I heard that in the warehouse of that iron mine, there is a mountain of fine iron. But the defense forces are ......"

"Alright, brave soldier, you don't have to worry about that. Li Jun patted the soldier's shoulder, and his mustache curled. The god raised the sacrificial scepter and chanted it a few times.

Burst~~

Suddenly, a large faint blood mist surged out quickly, spreading in the void.

Roar!

Roar......

Countless iron-horned rhinos, desert fire wolves, cloud-stepping demon leopards, and purple-veined demon bears roared out, and a hundred iron-backed earth dragons scanned the surroundings with hideous and violent faces.

"Heavenly ...... Oh my God, there are so many monsters!" exclaimed one of the soldiers. The entire forest was almost filled with countless demonic beasts.

"Praise the mighty Earl!" said a number of soldiers, their faces pale, leaning close to each other.

......

In front of the iron mine city wall, there was an open area, and more than 50 light and heavy artillery pieces were aimed at that open area.

More than 8,000 iron mine soldiers nervously held sharp weapons, opened mechanical crossbows, and stared at the situation ahead.

In a forest a mile away, countless deafening roars rang out, and the earth seemed to tremble.

"What's that sound, is it a beast tide?" said an iron ore soldier.

"Stupid soldier, this place is more than seven hundred kilometers away from the Monster Forest, where is the beast tide coming from?" A slightly chubby man who looked like a chief slapped him on the head angrily, but the wriggling sound in his throat did not hide from the iron mine soldier.

Creak!

Buzzing~~

Suddenly, a strange sound came, and all the soldiers subconsciously looked up and found that the entire blue sky was suddenly covered by a black shadow.

Is that...... The Flying Demon Rat Legion and the Phosphorus Hornet Legion!

Burst!

"Ah......h

"Shoot the arrows!"

Countless sharp arrows swirled out, colliding with the scale armor on the wasp's body, making a dull thumping sound.

Many of the wasps were shot down, swaying their bodies, shaking a few times, and then flying again.

One by one, the flying demon rats poked out their sharp claws, and with a snort, the swirling cyan wind knife easily tore through the armor of a swordsman officer and pulled out a bloody heart.

Roar!

Under the city, tens of thousands of purple-veined demon bears rode iron-horned rhinos and launched a fierce charge.

Boom! Boom!

The dense coverage of the fire network shrouded the way of the Warcraft army's charge, and one after another earth-based defensive magic was generated, turning into rock-colored shield armor to meet the roar of artillery fire.

A swarm of yellow phosphorus wasps with thorn flower seeds sprinkled over the artillery camp, and the seeds fell to the ground, took root in the soil, and after a few minutes, the shoots grew and began to grow.

Poof!poof......

Countless cylindrical weapons, aimed at the yellow phosphorus bee in the sky, ten spiraling flames, spraying more than 20 zhang high, are specially developed fierce flames and corrosive poisonous acids.

One by one, the yellow phosphorus bees turned into fireballs and fell, and after only a few convulsions on the ground, they were completely charred, and the bones were burned out, leaving only a layer of soft burnt skin. (To be continued.) )
