At the same time that Cheruth and Gurney and the others were unexpectedly entangled in their encounters, the other roads that were divided into four ways from the arena at that time had already made breakthroughs.

With the six-star space system led by the arcane mage Terry, plus the elite personal guards of the Holy Maiden Jenny and Prince Garnes, Garnes and the others broke into the city effortlessly, and all of them were transferred to the royal city to assist Naris in attacking the city, thus guarding the empty Duke of Mana's Palace, and found the unconscious old Duke of Mana in a hidden room in the inner courtyard of the Duke's Palace.

As Garnes and Ceruss expected, in order to control the resources of the Mana family without attracting too much attention and suspicion, the previous impostor Eddes, after replacing the real Edus, did not do anything to harm the life of the old Duke of Mana, but used a curse potion to make the Duke of Mana unconscious, and then announced to the public that the Duke of Mana was seriously ill and could not be a director.

As the current six-star junior light mage of the Holy Maiden, although Jenny is not good at fighting, Jenny can be regarded as having considerable strength and experience in curing curses, although it is difficult to completely eradicate the curse in Old Mana's body in such a short period of time, but if it is just to relieve the curse state and make Old Duke Mana temporarily regain consciousness, it is not difficult for Jenny.

Soon, Garnes and his party, who had forcibly broken through the defenses of the Duke's Palace and broken into the back house, once again appeared in front of the private soldiers in the Duke's Palace who planned to gather people to besiege them, but this time, there was one more person among them who was famous in the Duke's Palace.

The revived old Mana soon learned from Garnes what had happened while he was unconscious, and that his son had most likely been assassinated by the Nolans who had joined forces with Prince Naris a month earlier. The angry old Duke of Mana, after being temporarily regained some physical functions by the Holy Maiden, immediately came to the gate of the inner courtyard of the Duke's Palace with the support of Garnes, and faced the Duke's palace and private soldiers who were quite surprised to see him suddenly "get better", Old Mana roared angrily.

"From now on, all orders given by Eddes before this are null and void! The Mana family will no longer provide any assistance to the traitor Naris! The Mana family will always be loyal to the legitimate royal family of Lorris! Quick, you all stop me, and then convey my orders to everyone as quickly as possible! As fast as possible! Everyone!!"

At the same time, Robert, who returned to the noble district of the kingdom with Garnes and others, also returned to the Duke of Luther's palace and learned the truth about the Duke of Luther's immobility.

It turned out that after the accident in the arena, the connection between the arena and the city of Alrant was almost severed, and Vincent and others took advantage of such a gap in the circulation of information to send people to the Duke Luther's palace to lie that they had captured Robert, the youngest son of the Duke of Luther, and asked him not to act rashly in today's chaos. Although Duke Luther did not believe in the other party's empty threats, he had no idea what was going on in the arena at the moment, only that there seemed to be a battle going on there, so out of prudence, Duke Luther finally succumbed to the other party's coercion and restrained all the forces of the Luther family and did not come out to support the royal family.

And now, Robert has returned home safely under the escort of his teachers and teammates, and the false threat is self-defeating, and the Duke of Luther, who feels that he has been played, has also made a decision almost at the same time as the Duke of Mana: to fully support the current royal family, and at the same time to attack the rebels led by Prince Naris and all the assassins who appear in the city of Arrant today.

The entire aristocratic district, which had remained almost neutral and silent in the midst of this chaos, soon boiled over, and the Mana family, who had at first supported Prince Naris, suddenly defected, and the Luthor family, who were on the sidelines, also issued a declaration of loyalty to the royal family. It could almost be said that the wind direction changed suddenly.

Immediately afterward, Garnes visited the Wiesenlitt family.

The Wisenlit family was already in chaos at this time, obviously they didn't remember communicating with Prince Naris about this rebellion, but after the incident, there were many people who spread rumors in the market in the name of the Wisenlitt family, and this feeling of being shot made this duke family, which was always far away from military politics and more important than business, in chaos.

Garnes brought the news that the Vincent Chamber of Commerce was pretending to be the Wisenlit family to fish in troubled waters, which finally solved the confusion of why their family's manpower would move around without them knowing, and at the same time, it also showed the group of merchants in the noble skin of the Wisenlit family that the royal family had accumulated a lot of victory chips. So after the Mana and Luthor families, the third duke family, the Wiesenlitt family, also declared their loyalty to the royal family.

Three of the four families have already expressed their positions, and the last Kaman family, who wants to protect their lives, finally can't sit still, and before Garnes comes to visit, the messenger of the Carman family has already met him halfway, and at the same time, he has also brought the private soldiers of the Carman family as a sincere expression of loyalty to Charles I.

In this way, thanks to the efforts of Garnes and Robert, the magnates of the kingdom, led by the four dukes, abandoned their neutrality and almost all joined the side of Charles I.

Soon, at the main gate of the royal city, the Mana Wizard Legion, which was still helping Prince Naris's troops against the magician troops of the Royal Guard, got a rumor from the family. These magicians only obeyed the orders of the impostor Eders from the beginning to aid Naris in the name of the Mana family, naturally everything is subject to the family orders and there is no loyalty to Naris, after getting the rumors, the Mana magician troops immediately withdrew from the battle, and then before Naris and his troops could react, these dozens of magicians from the Mana family turned their wands and launched a ruthless attack on the rebel troops who were still comrades.

The loss of more than half of the mage army was inexplicably an additional team of hostile mage, Prince Naris and his rebels were beaten to the ground before they even had time to [beep-] the dogs, and the battle situation that was originally able to compete with the counterattacking royal guards was instantly reversed, and in less than ten minutes, the rebels were driven out of the royal city, and then in the unwilling roar of Naris, they began to flee in the direction of Fort Guard.

The Royal Guard, who had finally won the battle to defend the royal city, reoccupied the main gate of the royal city and set up defenses, and at the same time, the Mana Wizard Army, who had defected, also sent family representatives to meet with the generals of the Royal Guard, explaining that the Mana family had decided to change the flag with the efforts of the prince Garnes, and finally made the Royal Guard, Charles I, who was waiting for news in the royal city, and the royal courtiers breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Charles really wants to call Garnes back now to ask what happened to Arlant all day today to make such a fuss, but at the moment, the riots have not subsided, the post station is still in full swing, and the rumors of Lloris and Solan in the market have not yet subsided, and now is obviously not the time for everyone to sit down and sort out the ins and outs and look forward to the sustainable development of the future by the way.

Therefore, Charles I decisively issued an edict to the king, the first brigade of the royal guard repaired and garrisoned on the spot to prevent other enemies from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, the second brigade and the magic company and part of the magician army pursued the Naris rebels for the main purpose of expulsion, and it was not related to temporarily ceding Fort Guard to the other side, but it was necessary to ensure that the other party was expelled from Alrant City, and it was best to temporarily establish a defensive line between Arrant City and Fort Guard.

The Stroke Magicians in the Wizard Unit were all drawn out, and they could fly to the Third Brigade of the Royal Guard to stop the battle with the Knights Templar, and arrest the culprit of the battle, Princess Secaria (Charles I had received information from Garnes that "Sekaria had been dropped" by the messenger of the Mana family), Duke Capa, and several of his lieutenants.

At the same time, the Imperial Intelligence Service and the security forces began to launch a full-scale public opinion counterattack, arresting those who continued to spread rumors on the streets, and spreading as soon as possible a set of rhetoric that had been polished by the royal court to ease the people's mood.

Even though the rebels had retreated, there was no room for relief for the Loris court to worry about one thing after another. However, for Helo and Grey Wind, who came to help temporarily, there was nothing to do with them on the royal city's side.

Xia Li and the others finally safely sent Sekaria whose soul was replaced into Edus's body to the edge of the royal city, and was discovered by Helo and Gray Wind to protect the group, and after checking Sekaria's state at this time, the virtuous wolf Herro said the answer they wanted to hear most in the expectant eyes of Xia Li and the others.

- Yes, fortunately, the time for soul replacement is not long, but the time can't be delayed for too long, and Sekaria's body must be retrieved quickly.

At this time, the rebels around the royal city had also retreated, and the wind mages belonging to the royal family were preparing to set off for the post station to issue an armistice. Sister Grey Wind, who couldn't wait to see her sister, volunteered, and although she was in beast form and didn't want to speak and expose herself, she secretly hinted at Herro, who understood, so she pretended to send Grey Wind out in the form of a dragon wolf, and asked her to go to a station to help Chelus quickly catch the imposter who had taken over Sekaria's body.

Grey Wind, who had been allowed, set off happily (something was wrong with the art style?), but only halfway through, Grey Wind, who had made contact with Cheruth through the contract, suddenly stopped, and then turned around and flew towards an alley near the inn with a strange and speechless expression, if you can recognize the wolf's face.

West of the city, the main entrance of the Wangcheng Station.

"Huh, why hasn't Chelus shown up yet?"

Floating with Raphael behind the Templar Knights' assault team, Nanoha couldn't help but feel confused and worried as she looked at the empty air behind the royal guards who were fighting fiercely with the Templars not far away.

Originally, they had agreed with Cheruth that after they broke through the encirclement and made contact with the Knights Templar within, their internal and external attacks would be carried out to recapture Sekaria's body. Now, the Templar Knights' assault team of nearly two hundred people gathered in the case of ensuring the defense of the post station in all directions has set out and engaged the royal guards for nearly five minutes, and from a distance, it seems that almost all the remaining forces around the impostor princess who stayed in the rear have been put into battle, and if you want to attack her from the rear, now is undoubtedly the best time. But the wolf girl's figure never appeared in mid-air, which made Raphael and Nanoha a little anxious, worried about whether something was going on with Cheruth.

"Please don't worry, maybe the two friends will continue to wait for a better opportunity, and they will not go all out until the other party's protective forces are completely relaxed. ”

The Captain of the Silver Second Squadron of the Knights of the Templars, who was beside Nanoha and Raphael, comforted that Zarco was not there at the moment, and the entire team was temporarily in charge of him and the Silver First Squadron Leader. The captain of the Silver No. 1 Squadron is now in charge of the overall defense at the post station, and the feint operation to cooperate with the "decapitation operation" of the girl named Cheruth is in charge of commanding and protecting the safety of Raphael and Nanoha by the way...... Once the two decided to rush out to see for themselves out of fear of their friends, while this was definitely a demonstration of the spirit of companionship that their Templars dear, it was not what he wanted to see as protectors.

Raphael was fine, but Nanoha was already eager to rush out to find Cheruth herself. However, the second squadron leader looked at the surrounding form of engagement, their current feint attack was quite successful in terms of results, and the assault of two hundred men immediately attracted nearly a thousand troops from the other side to gather on the narrow street in front of the post station, this kind of formation was not a weak little girl (Nanoha had not really shot yet) said that a breakthrough could be broken, so with the mercy that the Templar Knights should have, the second squadron leader spoke again.

"Now our team has suddenly launched a feint attack in their direction, and advanced a long distance before their troops can react, although it has achieved a good effect as a guide to the battle, but it has also made the princess guards in the rear feel nervous and ready for battle, so it is really not the best choice to make a move just now. Now that our team has been blocked, after a few minutes, the other side sees that our attack this time is over, and the guards in the rear will naturally relax their vigilance, and that is the best time, so what we need to do now is to make sure that we can attract the attention of a large number of enemies, and then ensure that we can safely withdraw to the station. ”

The squadron leader said very reasonably, Nanoha thought about the ghost elf character of Chelus, who would never eat without eating the loss, and finally nodded in agreement, and pressed the mood of rushing out to find someone.

However, just as they saw that they had attracted enough enemies, and the Templars were ready to begin to retreat to the post in an orderly manner, suddenly, from behind the royal guards, there were bursts of fierce shouts of killing. (To be continued.) )
