Chapter 150: The New Emperor
There was silence in the room.
Luke looked at the two women who had a complicated relationship and didn't say anything. After all, this is a family matter of the Augustinian family, and it is up to the two of them to decide how to deal with it.
The pendulum clock in the corner of the room ticked and ticked, and there wasn't much time for Agatha to think about it.
"As I said, I'm not interested in the throne! The only person who has the ability to stabilize the situation in the palace and the empire after tonight is probably you, Her Royal Highness. After all, my father once said to the cabinet that during his recuperation, you would be fully responsible for the affairs of the country. It's just ......" Agatha looked at Luke and said, "I want you to convince Clear Sky, Father's ...... The ending, whether it is up to me to decide. ”
"Yes!" Luke replied very simply, he stood up and said: "The most important thing now is to enter the palace as soon as possible to quell this coup." ”
"The Imperial Intelligence Agency is ready."
"Let's go!"
Luke, Agatha, and Empress Christina walked out the gate together, and the Imperial agents outside lined up waiting for orders.
Armed with a sword of power, Christina, as the Empress of the Empire, orders the eldest princess Agatha and the Governor of Fury Waves Meteor to quell the rebellion of the Grand Prince Fania and rescue the Augustinian Emperor who is trapped in the palace.
The sudden appearance of Empress Christina greatly boosted the morale of the Imperial agents, and the official order made the counterinsurgency operation famous.
At the same time, the Governor of Angry Waves City, Meteor, openly stood by the eldest princess's side this time, shattering all kinds of rumors recently. Meteorite is "loyal" to the eldest princess, and has not defected to serve the eldest prince.
How to attack and storm the palace has long been planned and distributed to the commanders of all levels of the Imperial Secret Agents. The order to attack was given by the eldest princess Agatha, and the spies immediately dispersed, and soon the battle broke out near the Rose Manor.
A large number of magic flares were launched from the manor, and spies lurking in other parts of the city were also in action. The originally quiet city was instantly filled with all kinds of explosions.
Colorful magic shines in the night sky, and the snow falls heavier and heavier.
Luke led the Pretty Girl Boiling Squad, and Agatha led the "ravens", the ace agents of the Secret Service, to protect Queen Christina and march towards the palace.
The sudden outbreak of the battle startled the eldest prince Fania, who had just entered the palace, and he had already put on the emperor's gown, which had been ordered long ago, and was surrounded by ministers and nobles who supported him.
Seeing the magic beams concentrated near the Rose Manor, he knew that Agatha finally couldn't help but make a move.
A signal soldier of the city garrison regiment hurriedly ran over: "Return to the great prince......
The close ministers beside Fania reprimanded: "Call Your Majesty! ”
"Back to Your Majesty!" The signal soldier immediately changed his words: "The mission to intercept that woman failed, and the Governor of Angry Waves City, Meteor, personally escorted her through our layers of barriers, and has escorted that woman into the imperial capital!" ”
Fania finally knew where Agatha had the courage to attack.
He didn't expect that the vanishing meteorite would go to Snow City to personally escort Queen Christina back.
Now that the situation is clear, it is clear who is loyal, who is traitorous, and who is the grass on the wall.
"Meteor, you will pay for deceiving me." Fania ordered: "At all costs, stop the rebels from attacking the palace!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fania looked at the ministers and nobles behind him, and said confidently: "Finally, I know who is loyal to me!" Today I ascend the throne as the divine emperor of the empire, and you will all be reused by me, and together we will bring the empire to a new peak. ”
The courtiers and nobles chanted together: "Please take the throne of your majesty and bear the weight of the crown!" ”
Ahead, the door to the palace hall was pushed open, and the palace servants, maids, and bands were forced by the soldiers to line up on both sides with enthronement celebration supplies.
At the other end of the gate is the supreme throne.
The orchestra played the sacred and solemn "To the Great Emperor", the servants spread a golden carpet, and the maids scattered gold leaf into the air. Fania walked on the red carpet and looked at the throne, and walked over step by step with the frenzy in his eyes.
The butler excitedly walked to the throne first, holding the tray in both hands, which contained the crown, the code, and the scepter.
The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor begins.
Most of the royal knights and court guards were confined to their quarters by the soldiers of the City Garrison.
They were all very confused as to whether to be loyal to the old emperor who had never shown up, or to wait for the new emperor to complete the enthronement ceremony and go to take the oath of allegiance.
The Knight of Millscom, with nearly a hundred royal knights and court guards, stood guard outside the Emperor's bedchamber.
He was dressed in richly decorated armor and stood with his sword in his hands. He saw the brilliant magic signal in the sky outside, and heard the sound of explosions. He knew that Fania had begun the usurpation ceremony at this time, and Agatha was trying her best to stop it, and he could not do anything.
He had already conveyed the news of the coup to Augustine the Great, but nothing came out of the palace.
"I wonder how Her Royal Highness is doing?"
The Knight of Millscom couldn't help but think of Empress Christina's appearance, and since the news of the victory in the Battle of Snowland reached the Imperial Capital, there had been no news of her. He knew that Fania would never let the queen go, but he couldn't do anything for her.
There was once a thought that kept popping into his mind, that is, to give up all duties and honors and go to Snow City to protect the Queen.
However, the Millscomb Knight eventually chose to fulfill his oath.
Knight Millscomb closed his eyes and swept away all distractions, no longer under any external and inner influences.
It's as quiet as a statue.
Beside him, the royal knights and court guards stood motionless side by side, protecting the emperor's chambers behind him.
Oulu Academy, Saint-Lun Branch.
Standing on the highest and sharpest roof of the museum, Clear Sky looks out in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
Fania's defense of the Rose Manor is a top priority, and it is also where the fighting is most intense. Fighting in other parts of the city was scattered and showed no sign of approaching the palace.
The strength of the secret intelligence bureau is the yin people, this kind of regular offensive and defensive warfare, they are not the opponent of the regular army. Moreover, Fania has mobilized a lot of elites from the Northern Legion to be stuffed into the City Garrison Legion, and those are veterans with rich combat experience.
With the strength of the secret intelligence bureau alone, it is difficult to storm the palace in time.
At this time, Jenverny's figure appeared behind Clear Sky: "Miss Clear Sky, the secret technique you designed has been arranged. ”
The sheriff jumped up, and with a flick of his body he turned into a panther and roared at the moon at the falling snow.
"I feel the power that the World Tree has given me through the moon, and tonight will be the night of killing. I...... The mount of the great Queen of the Moonlight, who will accompany Her Majesty the Queen and smash the city to pieces! ”
Ignoring the sheriff who had suddenly committed the second illness, Sunny Sky asked Jenverny, "Are the students all settled?" ”
"It's all in place, and the professors of the academy and your moonlight knights will protect them." "Princess Dale told me that I hope you are all safe." ”
"We will all be safe!"
Clear Sky looks up at the moon in the night sky.
The dark clouds that covered the sky could not hide its moonlight. It is like a hanging lamp, shining with silver light on the city.
Now that you're ready, let's get started.
A beam of light shone on the clear sky from top to bottom, as if she was draped in a gauze garment.
"Secret Words: Monsters in Filthy and Troubled Waters"
At the moment when the clear sky finished chanting the words of the secret art, the manhole covers of the entire city's sewers were violently washed open by the gushing sewage. Then the ground cracked along the sewer, and the sludge came up as if it had come to life.
The rats in the sewers ran out in panic, and the gray dust spread along the road.
The sludge that comes out of it gathers into small balls, and then into a large ball of mud. The gray dust light is absorbed by the large mud ball, which grows limbs and becomes a mud monster.
In a short period of time, the streets of the city of St. Lun were overrun by countless mud monsters. They wander in a daze, whipping things down the street with their soft arms.
"Rule 1: Don't attack anyone in the room."
As the unleasher of the arcane arts, Clear Sky whispered the rules, her voice ringing in the ears of each mud monster regardless of distance. The mud monsters that wandered past the house immediately stopped and turned elsewhere.
"Rule two: Don't attack the wounded."
"Rule three: Don't attack people who have fallen to the ground."
Clear Sky didn't want this secret technique to cause too many casualties to Shenglun City, these mud monsters only needed to contain the power of the city's garrison legions, so that the imperial agents could storm the palace.
The mud monsters cannot understand overly complex instructions, and these three rules are enough for those who are attacked by the mud monsters to have a good chance of saving their lives.
After giving the three rules, Clear Sky jumps off the roof. The panther, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up at the same time and steadily picked up the clear sky on his back. The panther let out a roar and ran and jumped from house to house as it scurried in the direction of the palace.
The appearance of the mud monsters broke the deadlock in the city's fighting, and when the soldiers of the city garrison regiment were attacked by the mud monsters in the back, the Imperial agents quickly attacked to form a multi-point breakthrough.
The battle extended to the royal palace.
A large number of mud monsters also appeared in the palace, and after causing a commotion, they were quickly culled.
At this time, Fania sat down on the throne after reciting the oath of accession, and the court priest put the crown on him, placed the code in his right hand, and placed the scepter in his left hand.
The ministers and nobles met with the new Emperor of the Empire and swore allegiance.
There was still a lot of work to come, but the news of the battle spreading to the palace made Fania suspend the cumbersome rituals that followed.
He asked his ministers and nobles to wait in the main hall, and he himself led his army to the emperor's bedchamber.
As long as the old emperor is gone, everyone has to recognize themselves as the new emperor.
The emperor's dormitory, the royal knights and palace guards standing here, make this place extremely solemn.
Suddenly, a large number of sergeants rushed out from all sides, and surrounded them layer by layer.
Knight Millcomb opened his eyes, looked at the soldiers who were several times his size, and said, "Your Highness Fania, do you have to bear the charge of killing the king and killing your father?" ”
Fania walked out under the protection of a group of soldiers in bear armor, he looked at Millcomb haughtily, and said with a cold smile: "Uncle Millscom, if my father is still alive, will he allow me to obtain his throne in this way?"
My father has passed away.
Whatever your purpose for withholding this sad news, I can forgive you for your faults as long as you get out of the way. You are also my esteemed royal chief knight, my sword teacher. ”
Fania wore a crown and the Emperor's attire, which made the Millscom knight frown.
"You're making a big mistake, Fanya! His Majesty did not die, he only had to cultivate because of his health.
It is the right thing you should do to take off this outfit that does not belong to you and wait to receive His Majesty's ruling. ”
Fania smiled, "If your father hadn't died, you should get out of the way." If I am guilty, he will pronounce the sentence.
Millscom, this is a final warning.
Pledge your allegiance to me, and you will live. ”
"I'm loyal to the only emperor of the empire, but you're not!"
Seeing that Millscomb was stubborn, Fania gave up the idea of surrendering him, and he took a step back and ordered: "Whoever kills Millscom, he will be crowned the chief knight of the royal family!" Attack! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the City Garrison Legion rushed towards Millscom, leading the royal knights and court guards.
Milscomb took a fighting stance with his sword, and the burst of momentum caused the air currents to form a whirlwind around him, and layers of buffs were released, and the armor flashed with colorful lights.
"Knights, the time has come to be loyal to Your Majesty! Long live the Great Emperor! ”
"Long live the Great Emperor!"
The glow of magic illuminated the armor, and the knights and guards guarding the Emperor's chambers let out the loudest shouts.
The two armies collided together, and the battle revolved around the emperor's bedchamber.
And no matter how tragic the killing was outside, the door of the dormitory still showed no sign of opening.
Outside the palace, the orderly defensive line of the City Garrison Corps was thrown into disarray after being attacked by the mud monsters. The soldiers didn't know what it was, so they had to fight passively.
However, the Imperial agents were told in advance that they would deal with such a monster that everyone would attack.
They can be ignored when they enter the house or lie down, and if there is a little blood on them, they can be ignored.
With this kind of troublemaker, the Imperial agents all blossomed, and the battle became more and more chaotic.
The City Garrison Corps was at a loss for such a battle, and deployed troops everywhere to save the field.
When Fania led his troops to besiege the emperor's dormitory, the guards in the palace were very empty.
A secret door opens from under a statue in the palace garden, and several figures emerge from inside. They quickly eliminated the surrounding guards and set up a cordon.
Confirming safety, Luke, Agatha, and Queen Christina emerge from the tunnels.
Christina looked at the corpses on the ground and heard the sound of battle coming from the direction of the Emperor's bedchamber.
"There are no royal knights and palace guards here, and they probably haven't sworn allegiance to Fania yet. Fania's strongest forces are probably against the Knights of Millscom, and we need to convince some of the royal knights and court guards to help us. ”
Luke looked at the sky, reached out to catch a few snowflakes, and said, "Then hurry up!" ”
