Hearing that I was leaving, Ferennoel rushed back from headquarters.

At this time, we were packing our bags, and the housekeeper was holding a large box containing the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

"You're leaving?" Ferlian Vinolle asked.

"Yes, the people above are in a hurry, and they don't even let go of my sick number." I nodded.

"I think most of those people are trying to drag you into the coup/d'état this troublesome thing, and you'd better not go back so soon." Ferlian Vinoel said without hesitation.

"But there's nothing I can do, can I?" I said helplessly, "I think that even if I had to lie here, they would have let me be carried back, and they would have ordered me to go back with the most critical apologetic order." ”

“。。。 Kimchi, remember, if you have difficulties, be sure to remember to contact me, whatever it is, I will help. Felianvinoer said sincerely.

"Okay, I will. If something happens, it's up to you then. I didn't hesitate to refuse, and said yes.

It must not be an easy matter to be able to break out in the Sacred City, this muddy water is definitely bottomless, and who knows what will happen after returning home.

The train that had just arrived here was carrying half of the Knights of the Unification and left first, and then there would be three special trains to carry the rest of the troops to Sanctuary City.

。

The effects of the coup/d'état in Sanctuary City unwittingly spread to the front lines of the Rhine Kingdom and the Cang Dynasty. Negotiations that had already begun were halted. The representatives of the Holy Kingdom could not continue to attend the talks, and the Rhine Kingdom and the Cang Dynasty returned their attention to the battlefield.

The Rhine Kingdom continued its conscription work and continued to send troops to the front. The Cang Dynasty, on the orders of Her Majesty the Empress, began to use their beast legions.

Although the air raids have been suspended, the expansion of the airport has not stopped, and the next air raid will be the largest in history.

Although the smell of gunpowder had reached the point of choking, the two sides still did not go to war until the result of the Sacred City Coup/Mutiny.

The Rhine Kingdom was unwilling to leave a handle on the Holy Kingdom, and the Cang Dynasty did not want its attack to force the Holy Kingdom to deal with it with all its might.

And the concerns of both sides have become the motivation to frame the other side.

There are constantly sabotage activities carried out by troops disguised as the other side, trying to get the other side to act first or make the other side the fuse for the start of the war.

As a result, the troops on the front line are under more pressure, and those commanders must be ready to deal with the unexpected at all times. The place between the front lines of both sides almost became a death zone.

The movement of any living creature will attract gunfire.

A train is slowly moving from the hinterland of the Rhine kingdom towards the front line. This is not an ordinary train, but a huge artillery, a gun the size of a train.

The infantry of this battalion came with it to escort it.

This is the crystallization of the technology of the Rhine Kingdom, the giant cannon Gagantel.

The caliber of the cannon reached a staggering 460 millimeters, and each shot required an hour's cooldown. A single cannon is powerful enough to destroy a town.

The departure of this devastating weapon seemed to indicate that the upper echelons of the Rhine Kingdom had run out of patience and would take the lead in attacking, even at the risk of any possible war.

More kingdoms' hidden powers are gathering.

In response to this, the Cang Dynasty had to start using their hole cards, and countless priests went to the front line. A huge altar is being erected there, and countless sacrificial objects are being prepared.

A mystical force from the East will stir the skies.

Even with the persuasion of the representatives of the Holy State, neither side relaxed its preparations for war, and at this time, it was just a flame away from detonating this explosive keg.

。

After the departure of Kimchi and the Knights of the Unification, the High Lighthouse Fortress continued its endless war.

The corpses of the mechoid soldiers of the South Loya Empire were almost all over the perimeter of the Second Circle of Defense, and there were even piled up in some places, but they were still attacking frantically.

The kingdoms of Rothsire and the Duchy of Gaul reassembled a large fleet consisting of ten dreadnoughts, twenty steam battleships, and dozens of ships of various types.

They traveled to the waters of the Sea of Silence to fight the fleets of the Southern Loya Empire, attacking their landing fleets and harassing their main fleet.

They also escorted a group of land forces to recapture the ports of their colonies as supply depots for the Combined Fleet.

At present, the Combined Fleet has successfully defeated a landing fleet, but this is only a drop in the ocean of the attacking forces of the South Loya Empire, and it has not played a decisive role.

Inevitably, news of a coup/d'état in Sanctuary City spread among the Holy Nation forces in the High Lighthouse Fortress, and the commanders of the Holy Nations forces split into several groups according to factions.

In order to prevent the absurdity of their own people from beating their own people, the command of the Kingdom of Rothil scattered the army of the Holy Kingdom.

This led to a decline in the combat effectiveness and morale of the Holy Army, increasing the pressure on the defensive line. But there is no way around it.

In order to defend the second defensive circle, Ferlian Vinolle even thought about using the secret power of the kingdom. But, obviously, even if the Supreme Lighthouse Fortress faced a total loss, there was no possibility of using those forces.

Because that is almost the foundation of the king's body, it will not be easily dispatched until the crisis moment of the kingdom's demise.

At present, the position can only be maintained through the rational allocation of troops.

。

The Duchy of Turin temporarily relied on the Kingdom of the Rhine and the Duchy of Teuton to establish a provisional government. The only daughter of the Duke of Turin, Margarita inherited the title of Duke.

As a duke who guarded the frontier during the imperial era, there are naturally things that have been passed down from generation to generation. To be able to hold on to their territory in the days after the empire is divided will naturally not be some idle people.

At this time, the hidden forces of the principality had been assembled.

It was a group of ancient alchemist families that had existed since before the Empire existed. They were defeated by the priests of the Cang Dynasty because of the enemy's surprise attack and numbers.

In order to be able to retake the land, they no longer guard each other as before, but work together. Use the ancient Iron Furnace City to build weapons of war.

This would be a huge drain on the remaining resources, and in the past, such an expensive weapon would not have been a prime choice, but this is no longer the time to do so.

The Iron Furnace City is also located in the Boundless Ruins Realm, which is a huge factory.

In the past, with the support of the Empire, it was possible to fully activate here, but it was not possible to rely on the principality alone.

Those alchemist families and the Duke jointly hold control of the core blast furnace. At this time, it was emitting red flames.

The core blast furnace is said to have been given to the first Duke of Turin by His Majesty the Emperor at the time of the founding of the Empire.

Because it uses mysterious power, it is an existence that is stronger than the blast furnace of the Holy Country's volcano, but it consumes a lot.

Those alchemical substances that had accumulated over hundreds of years were thrown into the blast furnace without hesitation. The flames consumed them, fusing them together and refining them into an alloy.

The forging is underway, and the alchemists of all the principalities are involved.

It was a creation called the Titan.

Before the Age of Steam, it was a giant weapon of war constructed of stone, wood, and alchemy cores.

In today's era of steam domination, its composition certainly evolves with the times.

This massive weapon takes a nation's strength and time to build, so it can't turn the tide of a major war. But in the local theater of war, it is the god who dominates the war.

A huge frame has been erected on the outskirts, waiting to be filled with flesh. It was also because of the decision of the Provisional Government of the Duchy of Turin to create the Titans that the Rhine Kingdom decided to launch a counteroffensive.

。

In the evening, Ludwig managed to arrange for the coupon/change of affairs that happened in Sanctuary City, and asked Mendraus, the captain of his personal guard, to drive to a place.

In a large manor outside the Sanctuary City, it is said to be the place where His Royal Highness the Spirit Seat resides. There are independent steam towers, farmland for growing fruits and vegetables, and a town built especially for the squires, guards, officials, and clergy.

It can be said to be a miniature city. As the Oriental proverb goes, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

After careful inspection at at least five checkpoints, Ludwig was finally able to drive to the Edmonton House, the residence of his sister Cecilia and his niece Hecehia.

This is a holiday estate built for himself by a former prince of the imperial era.

It was also heavily guarded, with patrols with police dogs everywhere and iron brackets of steam armor temporarily erected around it. They can be activated at any time to destroy the incoming enemy.

There were even barricades and infantry artillery positions equipped with heavy machine guns, which would not be able to break through the defenses of a regiment with ulterior motives in a short time, not to mention that at least three battalions of officers and soldiers in the vicinity were ready to support them at any time.

Lights also come out from time to time in the surrounding woods, which are patrols searching for anomalies in the forest.

A Leviathan type was quietly parked at the door of the mansion.

The door of the mansion had been sealed, and there were faint figures standing behind the windows. The interior of the mansion was also inhabited by guards as much as possible.

It can be said that there is total martial law.

This was obviously not something that Ludwig could arrange personally, indicating that the family had also sent its own forces.

It made him understand that the sudden uneasiness he felt after talking to Bishop Jeffrey was correct.

Some seem to have targeted Cecilia and Hecesia in this chaotic coup. It seems that he will have to send some more trusted guards to protect this place.

Maybe the other side will use those hidden powers, will they use them themselves?

Entering the mansion, a maid took him to the room where Cecilia lived.

He went up the stairs to the door, where the maid had retreated. He gathered his emotions and knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, who are you?" A childish voice came, it was Ludwig's niece, Hecehia.

"It's me, you Uncle Ludwig, open the door." He said softly.

The door opened, and Ludwig entered.
