Although he already had some guesses in his heart, when he really heard these words, he still set off a storm in his heart.

"Colonel, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course."

When he got this answer, his whole heart began to beat violently, as if it would jump out of his chest in the next second.

"Why me? I think you should be aware that I am not a selfless person. ”

"You want to hear the truth?"

"Yes."

Izuki nodded, but he didn't expect that what the other party said next made him a little crying and laughing.

"Because no one is available now. The Imperial Army has been rotting for too long, and guys like Lieutenant Nobi abound, all of them are guys who don't regret dying, and it's not easy for people like you. So, I think you can go for it. ”

"As for personal feelings, people are emotional animals after all, and everyone has times when they are affected by feelings, but I hope you can stick to your bottom line!"

When he got this answer, he felt a little unbelievable at first, and then the whole person relaxed.

He also didn't expect that the old guy opposite was so honest.

"How is it, Second Lieutenant Izuki, do you want to come with me?"

Minamoto stretched out his right hand, his eyes full of blazing light.

"Yes, Colonel!"

Izuki took a deep breath, then grabbed the hand.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of intensive gunfire, a great purge began at this moment.

It can be said that this operation was a blitzkrieg in the true sense of the word.

Gen Yoshio can be said to have been prepared for a long time, and has been planning for this operation for a long time, and at the same time, Izuki is not the only officer who responded to his call.

With the signal issued, many officers of the Third Army of the Empire acted at the same time, allowing Yoshio Gen to take control of the Third Army overnight, and at the same time completed a wave of purges!

But that's just the beginning.

The city where the Third Army of the Imperial Army was stationed, adjacent to the capital.

Before everyone could react, the Third Army Corps, which had occupied the railway station, rushed straight to the capital, and officially arrived at the capital railway station at ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.

The 1st Corps, which was in charge of the permanent capital, was attacked by the 3rd Corps before it even received the message.

At the same time, the most important thing is that within the First Army, there are also officers who responded to Minamoto Yoshio's call.

Under the cooperation of the two sides, the First Army, which was taken by surprise, collapsed in a very short time, and was completely defeated without even resisting.

During this period, the Emperor's Palace, where the news was received, could be described as chaos.

Yamamoto, who was furious, directly transferred all the Praetorian Guards in his palace to the area around the main hall and protected himself.

However, the Praetorian Guard was only a small number of people, and one or two thousand of them were up to the sky.

On the other hand, on the side of the Third Army and the First Army, even after the Great Purge, their number of troops is still very large, even if they pile up troops, they can pile up the Praetorian Guard.

And one thing that everyone knows, the general Central Praetorian Guard will only be worse than the local army's combat effectiveness, because it is completely a young master soldier.

On weekdays, the Imperial Army still has to undergo rigorous training, and this Praetorian Guard has long since become a place where a lot of second-generation officials have mixed qualifications.

On average, at least six out of ten Praetorian Guards have backgrounds.

And these sons and brothers paddle a water on weekdays, don't train or anything, and the top boss can only turn a blind eye, and occasionally His Majesty the Emperor asks, and it's better to say.

Anyway, after so many years, I have always come over like this, not to mention these young master soldiers, even the commander of the Praetorian Guard, I don't know how many times it has changed.

Throughout the history of the Empire, there has never been a time when they were really needed to go to war, or to defend against foreign enemies.

The Praetorian Guard was a completely flashy force that was used to show off the prestige of His Majesty the Emperor, and this was almost the consensus of the military.

The gates of the Emperor's palace were soon blasted open by cannons, trampling on the corpses of countless Praetorian Guards, and the soldiers of the 3rd and 10th Legions rushed into the palace with rifles.

However, they found that the palace was empty under the guard.

However, what is even more surprising is that the still alive Praetorian Guards are also very surprised by this, and even have a feeling of being deceived.

His Majesty the Emperor ordered them to defend the palace to the death, but His Majesty had already fled, so wouldn't it be meaningless for them to die so many brothers?

After confirming the news, Yoshio Minamoto quickly cleared his mind.

His Majesty the Emperor was definitely in this palace before, this is confirmed information, and after that, their army surrounded this palace, and under normal circumstances, the people inside could not get out.

Then, the answer is obvious, the other party is either still hiding somewhere in this palace, or there is a secret passage inside this palace, and their Emperor Majesty has escaped from the secret passage.

And Yoshio Minamoto is undoubtedly more inclined to the latter.

Because of this palace, there is really no place to hide people.

"Colonel, it's empty down here!"

Sure enough, he quickly came out of the wooden shirt to report that one part of the hall was empty.

"Lift!"

Hearing this, several soldiers around came up one after another to take a hand, and a pitch-black walkway leading to the underground soon appeared in front of everyone.

Needless to say, Minamoto Yoshio directly signaled to take a troop and chase down the tunnel to take a look, while Genyoshio himself took the remaining troops and occupied the Emperor's Palace.

Because the entire staircase leading to the underground was trapezoidal, they didn't know how many meters underground they were at this time, anyway, after going down the stairs for about ten minutes, the road in front of them was finally smooth.

After walking for about five or six minutes, an iron gate blocked their way.

"The door is locked from the other side." A soldier who confirmed the situation said.

In this regard, Mu Shirt directly chose to violently unlock the lock.

After blasting a gap in the gate, they chased down the underground passage, only to discover that the tunnel was actually connected to the capital's sewers.

This is a problem, the sewers in all directions are indeed a good place for people to flee for their lives, but not very friendly to the chasing party.

There is no way, at this time, the only option is to carry out a carpet search, and at the same time let one of the soldiers under his command turn back to the palace to report the situation.

On the other side, Yoshio Minamoto, who remained in the emperor's palace, was busy making follow-up arrangements.

This time, he contacted a group of like-minded officers to carry out the operation, and the main members of them were concentrated in the Third Army and the First Army.

However, in addition to these two legions, there is also the 10th Army Corps currently stationed on this island!

Having taken the means of a quick battle, capturing the capital as quickly as possible, and taking the Emperor's Palace, it was naturally impossible for them to have time to confirm the attitude of the 10th Army Corps.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain proper vigilance.

And just when Gen Yoshio was thinking this, one of the soldiers under the command of Izuki had already turned back down the tunnel and reported the situation below.

After listening to the report, Yoshio Minamoto quickly thought of what had just happened.

"In today's situation, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to escape, there is only one way to live, and that is to defect to the 10th Army Corps."

-------------------------------------

The muddy and rugged path made it impossible for vehicles to enter, and the horses' hooves trampled down, splashing directly into a cloud of muddy water.

Last night's heavy rain made this wild mountain road off the main road extremely muddy!

At this time, Yamamoto was embarrassed and fled frantically, and the constant gunshots behind him made him dare not relax at all.

"Yaga! You damned traitors!! ”

Until now, Yamamoto has been a little hard to believe that the troops under his command would mutinied, and he would actually fall into such a field!

Yamamoto, who managed to escape from the capital, was soon attacked by the rebels, and a group of personal soldiers who were responsible for protecting his safety died in the process of breaking out.

At this time, there was only one escort left by his side, and he was still more than halfway from reaching the city where the Tenth Army Corps was stationed.

Syllable!

At this moment, the gunshot rang out, and without waiting for Yamamoto's seven-by-eight reaction, a huge force came, and the whole person fell directly to the muddy ground.

And the war horse they had ridden earlier had now been shot into a sieve.

If the guards at that time were even a second slower, then his fate would be no different from those two war horses.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! How are you? ”

Although the impact was reduced a lot because of the muddy ground, even so, Yamamoto Seven by Eight was still smashed, and it only felt like the bones were about to fall apart.

However, he also knew in his heart that now was not the time to say this, and the most important thing now was to find a way to escape for his life.

As a result, he soon found that there was an extra pool of blood in front of him.

"Aragaki, you...... You've been shot! ”

The guard was visibly shot when he knocked down Yamamoto Shichi-8, and the blood that spilled from the opponent's body quickly soaked his clothes.

Originally, according to Aragaki's skills, it was not difficult to dodge the round of shooting just now, but in order to protect Yamamoto Seven by Eight, he chose to use his body to block those bullets.

At this time, several bullets had already injured his internal organs, and one of them had even hit his lungs, making it difficult for him to even breathe at this time.

Hearing Yamamoto's words of seven times eight, Aragaki opened his mouth to say something, but as a result, a mouthful of blood stood out with a wow.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer to them, Aragaki instantly became alert.
