In order to rescue the kingdom of Rothier, the Holy Kingdom sent a large army. The vanguard consisted of a combined Knights and a reinforced infantry division, followed by an additional Heavenly Punisher Brigade, eight Steam Armored Knights, ten Infantry Divisions, four Leviathan Type 1 Divisions, and six Steam Armoured Chariot Divisions.

And the steam airship fleet of the Holy Kingdom also began to prepare to set off and rush to support the fortress.

After learning that the enemy had air warships suspected to be more than 100 meters long, the bombing fleet was temporarily not dispatched.

The kingdom of Rothel also sent an additional twenty infantry divisions and ten brigades of steam armored knights, as well as corresponding supplies.

In order to show unity, the rest of the Middle-earth countries also sent some troops and supplies to support the kingdom of Rothir.

It can be said that Middle-earth gathered the largest military force that could be assembled in a short period of time to rush to the battle against the Southern Loya Empire.

The battle with the Cang Dynasty could only be handed over to the Rhine Kingdom. Fortunately, the latter's strongest ability is to fight a war of attrition and trench warfare.

If it weren't for the fact that the Rhine Kingdom happened to be distracted by the battles on the northern border and the battles at sea when the Cang Dynasty raided, it would definitely not have lost those lost territories.

Almost all adults in the Rhine Kingdom have received military training, and after a certain period of retraining, they can go to the front lines to fight.

The Rhine Kingdom is best equipped with an air force, which is not a steam airship, but a small warplane.

The kingdom has built a large number of airfields outside Frankfork, and hundreds of warplanes have arrived at the front line.

More fighters and pilots will come here in the future.

In the coming period, the air force of the Rhine Kingdom will continue to strike at the entire territory of the Cang Dynasty, focusing on the industrial system of the Cang Dynasty to weaken their war potential.

At first, the Cang Dynasty army had nothing to do with such an attack, but as they forced the craftsmen and technicians of the Duchy of Turin to develop it, the anti-aircraft machine gun was refitted.

An air raid and counter-air raid battle began.

Both sides have also begun to upgrade their weapons.

On the ground, the Rhine Kingdom began to gather an army group of thirty divisions to prepare for an all-out attack on the Cang Dynasty.

Countless artillery pieces and countless soldiers began to arrive at the forward positions one after another. The bridge across the river is also under emergency construction.

It can be said that now the whole of Middle-earth is in the midst of war.

。

Beneath Sanctuary City is a complex system of pipes, with intricate drainage pipes and steam pipes, forming a huge labyrinth here, and only the veteran plumbers have the direction of several main roads, and if you throw a person who is a complete stranger to this place here, you will not be able to get out until you die.

This complex situation has also helped some criminal organizations, but since most of the ground pipelines leading to the inner city are guarded, basically these pipelines will not affect the security situation in the inner city of Sanctuary City.

However, for the outer cities outside of those fortress fortress groups, these pipes are the passages for all kinds of gangs/gangs to fight for. This is their secret passage for smuggling, and it is also their territory.

The strength of a gang is measured by the number of pipes it has at its disposal and the accuracy of the map of the vast underground system.

For unknown reasons, the inner city is growing upward, with precise and rigorous planning and construction sequences, and in good order. Without attempts at expansion, and even in order to guarantee the environment of the communities where some privileged people lived, many engineering projects could not be carried out.

Many factories in the inner city are required to comply with environmental regulations, which also leads to a higher cost of living in the inner city.

Still, the environment is terrible. There is not a lot of smog, but there is no sunlight on the gray day. The rich and powerful nobles all had estates in the suburbs.

The outer city is much more barbaric, with only rough planning and frantic expansion to satisfy countless outsiders.

Many of the illegal buildings are built underground, or cling to the outer walls of the inner city, which is also a huge three-dimensional labyrinth for outsiders.

The environment here is also very bad, and the steam towers are likely to be next to residential buildings, and the small electric steam companies will not bother with environmental pollution.

Big industrial companies don't care about the names of these poor people either.

According to their vicious calculations, even if every person who dies because of their pollution goes to court and wins each case, the fine they pay is far less than the cost of environmental protection.

As a result, it becomes a fog city in the winter, and there are also local smog areas during the rest of the year.

So the breathing mask is almost a necessity here, almost the most important thing besides the house.

The rank of the breathing mask also became a status symbol, equivalent to the location of the area of residence.

People who don't know the knowledge call this the Sacred Cloud City, thinking that when they arrive here, they will be able to get the afterglow of the spirit lord sprinkled on the earthly glory. As everyone knows, this is the place that gave birth to their deaths.

For the pipeline system in the outer city, Sanctuary City also doesn't have that much regulatory power.

In order to avoid the occurrence of catastrophic accidents, some main roads and dangerous gas transmission pipelines are strictly guarded. As for the other pipes, they will turn a blind eye.

After all, a large part of the extra income of officials in the outer city comes from the so-called legal building rights. This can be regarded as a means for the high-level of Sanctuary City to appease those who stay in the hellish place of the outer city all year round.

Due to the early planning and arrangement of sewer pipes in the inner city, some pipes had to be staggered in order not to have to build large civil works, and these intersections formed many large spaces.

At this time, in a huge cross pipe, a group of people in waterproof suits are plotting something.

"According to the inside intelligence, in order to better reverse the battle situation of the Supreme Lighthouse Fortress, the Knights of the Holy Way have been secretly transported to Rothel by armored train, and three divisions of the Sanctuary garrison are also among them." One person said.

"In other words, the army of Sanctuary City that is now under the orders of the Council of the Apostles has reached a theoretical low?" One person asked.

"Yes, so to speak. Those troops have already boarded the train, and it is impossible to rush back in a short time. ”

"So, what about the Empty Court Patrol Fleet?"

"In order to deal with the air force of the South Loya Empire, most of them have been sent to the front. The remaining troops were only enough to maintain a surface. They can only sound the alarm, but it is impossible for the airborne army to stop us. ”

“。。。 So easily to make the guards around you so short of strength? It can't be a trap, right? A man asked cautiously.

"Among them are our allies, and those Holy Legions of the Holy See have been infiltrated by us." A man said confidently.

"Can those people be trusted? With all due respect, I am responsible for the ideological teaching of the low-level soldiers, and I do not know much about your part of the operational mission. One person asked.

"You can trust that they provide a lot of our money and intelligence. I can pledge with my life that they are a group of aspirants who can abandon all their own for the future of the Holy Kingdom. ”

"Since you say so, I believe them too. I don't have a problem here. ”

"I don't have a problem with it."

"So is my ministry."

The rest of the people also said that there was no problem with the rear of their representatives.

“。。。 Ladies and gentlemen, the time we have been waiting for has come for a long time to save the Holy Kingdom from the decaying Council of the Apostles. Today is the time! Let's take a gamble! Let's fight against the odds! All for the Holy Kingdom! ”

"All for the Holy Country!" Everyone said in unison.

After saying that, everyone quickly left the place, returned to their troops on the ground through different routes, and then followed their troops back to the stations of their respective departments.

Subsequently, all personnel began to act for a coup/d'état that was about to take place in the capital of the Holy Kingdom.

This undercurrent was soon spotted by Ludwig's eyes, who were unaware of their boss's relationship with the coup/coup organization, so they reported it after a careful investigation.

Ludwig immediately recruited the person in charge of helping his sister liaise with the coups.

"What's going on?" Ludwig asked.

"My lord, the coup/coup organization is in action. But it didn't inform us in the first place. The person in charge replied.

"What are they doing here!? Even if we start to act without notice? Ludwig said angrily.

"It looks like it's just the actions of some of them, and they're coming to report today." The person in charge bowed his head and replied.

In fact, there is also his negligence. At the recent meeting, he thought it was just an ordinary meeting, so he did not send his subordinates to observe.

And several of his subordinates acted without receiving orders and did not have time to stop it, so the current situation was created.

The coup/coup forces thought that Lord Ludwig had acquiesced in the operation, and began their mission.

As everyone knows, only now did they know about the beginning of the coup/d'état. This suggests that there are other people who are taking advantage of the coup.

Ludwig apparently quickly understood why it had gotten the way it was, but he didn't say anything, just looked at the person in charge in silence.

"Either way, no matter what." Ludwig regained his composure, "There must be something wrong with such a sudden start, you go and find out what is going on for me, can you do it?" ”

"Yes! Lord Ludwig, my subordinates will do their best! The person in charge replied loudly, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Okay, in addition, go and inform my people, don't act rashly, without my orders, those who act without permission are traitors, and they will be executed on the spot immediately." Ludwig said.

"Yes!"

The person in charge immediately left the office, gently closed the door with good sound insulation, and shouted to his subordinates:

"Everybody, I'm on standby! Get those blind people back and start the quest! ”
