The tragedy that took place on the first day of the Mulin Festival at the military parade outside the White Rose City shocked the entire city, and the shock to the empire was only a matter of time and news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
There are about more than 100 families of Nanling nobles who live in White Rose City, accounting for one-third of the more than 300 nobles in the entire Nanling Range, but in this attack, only a handful of these more than 100 high-ranking nobles survived.
Although it will not be wiped out, but in a flash, more than 100 nobles have changed their flags, and the fact that the city is full of black yarn can't help but make people feel like the sky is falling apart and the emperor is dying.
The atmosphere of celebration came to an abrupt halt in an instant, and the streets were full of purple-robed Bauhinia officers and black-robed city lieutenants, while the white crows and the military military officers of the New Model Army wearing black flat hats were even going from house to house to door and arresting people everywhere.
The entire White Rose City is filled with a terrifying and gloomy mood, and now even the big families that are known for their prestige there have lost their backbones - that is really the loss of their backbones, and all the nobles who go to participate in the military parade, whether they are alive or dead, will not see people alive or dead!
"I'm sorry, but you are recuperating in the Duke's Palace, so you can't see anyone. β
Even if the family members of the nobles of all the families came to the Duke's Palace and cried and fainted at the door, they would only get a cold answer from the doorman and a locked gate.
And the atmosphere in the city also changes in half a day.
In the attack, the city lieutenant who was in charge of the parade defense almost suffered heavy losses. In particular, the commander at the highest level almost died cleanly, and even the only deputy captain who was in charge of dispatch outside was martyred because of the remnants of the sword of revenge blocking the parade troops.
What's more, even if they don't die, if there is such a big omission in the parade, they will inevitably be sent to the guillotine.
In this way, who should be responsible for the defense of White Rose City has caused a clear and secret battle between the two major forces of the Nanling Army and the New Model Army. The senior officers of the Southridge Regiment, which had lost the leadership of the "Crescent", almost lifted the table on the body of Lutz, the chief of the general staff of the New Model Army, at an emergency military meeting. However, immediately afterwards, a piece of news from the White Crow near the election officer poured cold water on their heads.
The White Crow Election Officer who broke into the military headquarters of Rose City of Whiterose took the order letter signed by Feldnan in his hand, rushed directly into the conference room in the hinterland of the heavily defended military headquarters, and slapped the order in front of the temporary commander of the Southridge Legion and the commander of the Knights of the Tooth Hunter, Kesim Mansdick.
"Notice! By the order of the Grand Duke, all officers of the Nanling Regiment and above the rank of centurion will be suspended from their posts and placed on probation from now on on suspicion of conspiracy to commit rebellion!"
"Why!" said Kesim Mansdick to his feet, kicking the chair overβthe table had already been overturned, "this could not have been Archduke Feldnan's orders. β
"Hmph...... It's not the Grand Duke's order, but whose order can it be......" Lutz, who had been punched in the face, got up from the ground, and things were going just as Evan Ian had told him, but it was a little too late, and while complaining in his heart, Luz stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth that had been scratched by his fist.
"You!" Kesim glared at Rutz, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by an angry shout from the Rook Elector-
"Shut up! The Grand Duke suspects that there are collaborators of the Sword of Vengeance within the Legion and among the nobles present that day, and we have just found out the secret letter and plan of your conspiracy to overthrow the Grand Duke and assassinate the Young Lord from the Archium of Bamboo Archibert's Mansion!"
"What......!" It wasn't until this that Kesim reacted, why did the Duke's Mansion detain all the nobles, whether they were dead or alive, he thought at first that it was just that Evan Ian didn't want him to gang up with the Nanling Immortals and slaughter the Nanling nobles to be exposed, but now it seems that this is just the beginning of a series of back-ups.
The record of the attack scene looks simply impeccable, no matter how you look at it, it is also in a fog, the Grand Duke quietly waits for changes, but the hot-blooded Nanling nobles, for the sake of blood feud and honor, fought to the death with the attackers who came to attack and kill the Grand Duke, and finally almost died together in the most glorious thing-
Except for the fact that this kind of thing "never happens in reality unless it is in a knightly novel", perfection is almost exciting.
But this doesn't fucking magic at all!
Even those nobles who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and do not practice martial arts, dare to play with the immortal species of the Sword of Vengeance?!
But even the slightest bit of a nobleman would not believe the rhetoric explained by the Duke's Palace, but what seemed to be such a thing did happen in front of everyone, and the only person who could prove that Ferdinand lied, Arut locked the door of the Tower of Fire as soon as he returned, and the other surviving nobles were placed under house arrest by the Duke in the name of protection and recuperation.
Originally, Kesim still hoped that Count Azibert would prove the fact that Evangel and Feldnan had murdered the Southridge nobles and carried out a brutal and shocking massacre, but now it seems that Evangel had already thought about what he should do if he didn't kill the Southridge nobles.
As mentioned earlier, by the time the officers of the Southridge Legion, who were stumped by the struggle for power, reacted, took Feldnan's order, kicked the white crow near the election officer, and had already piled up the secret letter of the "Crescent Moon" in front of Evanian.
And even if a few of them didn't have the extra heart to honestly burn all the secret letters in the aristocratic family's warehouse, they could not explain why they hoarded so many weapons and knives.
Because the backbone of the Lord is not there...... As soon as they heard that the patriarch was dead, how could the heirs of the various families, who had already immediately begun to fight openly and secretly for the position of the family, react to wipe their butts for the previous one?
......Seeing the secret letter in front of him, Kesim sat down on the stool in vain, knowing that everything was hopeless, and even if someone came forward at this time, claiming that the attack was premeditated under the plan of Feldnan and Evania, it was only considered a false accusation and ill-intentioned.
"Let's go, my lords. Putting on the shackles, the Nanling officer, who had just been beating people everywhere, left the conference room with his head down.
At the last moment of boarding the prisoner car, Kesim looked back and saw the emaciated, gray uniforms of the New Model Army torn everywhere in the brawl, lined up in rows, silently watching their miserable appearance.
There was no cheering, no excitement, and Kesim suddenly understood-
For the soldiers, this is a disgraceful victory, although there is no bloodshed, no fearless sacrifice, but just like these South Ridge officers are eager to prove themselves on the battlefield, these guys, civilian soldiers, are also eager to use the means of the battlefield to prove their worth from the South Ridge Corps.
To put it bluntly, the military is such a ridiculous and pathetic creature.
I am a god-man, and I have a dragon-slaying spear in my hand.
There are no dragons in the world.
