July 2, 8 a.m.

Countless newspapers and flags of the Church of Truth were loaded onto the train, and together with the newly trained monks of the Church of Truth, along the railway, they traveled along the railway to the cities and towns of the Romanov Kingdom, and at the same time, the troops stationed in the area around Mosk quickly gathered, and a solemn atmosphere gathered over the whole city, and the people realized that something seemed to be about to happen.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Christopher and Sarina, with the help of Jaylan and several other members of the Bloodline, flew to Petersburg.

At 10 o'clock, many cats suddenly appeared on the streets, and they walked through the streets and alleys in groups, heading straight for the noble manor on the outskirts.

At 11 o'clock, Edward and Bodlinov led several soldiers into a hotel and captured the monks of the Cult of Wisdom who were hiding inside.

At noon, Onufri, Ravl, Makarov and other generals came to the Kremlin.

"Onufrey, you lead the cavalry to block the southern Volga railway, suspend all trains, Lavl, you are in charge of the Kiev direction, Makarov, Goffman ...."

In the splendid Georgiev Hall, Katerina began to arrange the blockade line, she agreed with Mavi's idea, once the coup d'état was launched, many nobles would inevitably flee with their money, if it was only a nobleman, Katerina would not make a big move, but the assets they carried were the wealth belonging to the Romanov Kingdom, which must not be leaked.

In the event of a coup d'état in various places, Mosk's army had to block the main railroads and intercept the nobles who wanted to escape.

"Your Highness, what if the nobles flee from Petersburg or by sea?" Makarov asked, "There is no army near the royal capital. ”

"In terms of sea routes, I have asked Yakov and them to block the coastline, and there is no need to worry about the situation in the royal capital." Katerina said: "The nobles have five armies in their hands, and they will not flee easily, and Archbishop Henry will not allow them to flee until the situation is completely clear. ”

As the supreme commander of the five armies, Duke Yinvanovich, Duke Tbilisi and others are very important, if even they escape, then the Cult of Wisdom alone will not be able to fully control the army, so Archbishop Henry will use the family members of the aristocratic faction as a threat to force them to support the Cult of Wisdom.

Even if you want to evacuate, you have to wait until the winner is decided, not just choose to flee as soon as the coup begins.

"Your Highness, what about my father?" Goffman, who had never questioned Katerina's decision, asked: "The nobles of military merit have already chosen to support Your Highness, and you have promised to guarantee my father's safety..."

"The domestic railways are not closed to traffic, and there are still nearly two days before the start of the coup, so you can send someone to inform the military nobles and let them come to Mosk as soon as possible, they are safe here."

"Yes!"

"Everyone, in order to avoid accidental injury, after the coup broke out, order all soldiers to tie a red rope on their left arm, which is the symbol of the Church of Truth, if you encounter soldiers and nobles who are not tied with a red rope, do not hesitate to shoot immediately!"

"Yes!"

In the evening, Christopher, Sarina and others arrived in Petersburg, and with the help of cats, they successfully arrived at the manor where Duke Yovanovich lived.

The manor was empty, with only a handful of guards patrolling, and the interior of the villa was empty, and Duke Yovanovich sat alone in the drawing-room, with a bottle of spirits in his hand, and his face was covered with newly grown stubble, just like the one he had been so much earlier.

Geylan took Christopher and Sarina directly to land on the balcony of the villa, and when he heard the sound of the door opening behind him, Duke Yin Wanovich turned his head, his eyes swept over the faces of Sarina and several others, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?" ”

He knew Sarina and Christopher, who had joined the Church of Truth half a year ago, and the materials had long been placed on the desk of the aristocratic faction.

"Your Excellency, where is the abdication edict that Paul I intends to write?" Christopher asked directly, knowing that time was of the essence.

Duke Yovanovich pointed to the safe on the wall, and was about to say the code when he saw Geeran step forward and pull open the iron door with a tooth-aching twisted sound.

"Found it."

Jaylan took out the parchment paper stored in the safe, confirmed that it was stamped with the king's seal, and handed it to Sarina.

After getting the edict of abdication, Christopher did not leave immediately, if it was just for the edict of abdication, Ma Wei would not make a special trip to let him and Sarina run, just send Jaylan and them, let them come here in person, and have other purposes.

"Your Excellency, you must have read the contents of the abdication edict." Christopher sat down opposite Duke Yovanovich and said in a serious tone: "Paul I has committed suicide, and the current Paul I is just a puppet controlled by Archbishop Henry, you should make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Decision...."Duke Yinvanovich smiled helplessly: "Alexei, they were captured and taken to the Popon Kingdom, what decision do you want me to make?" ”

"Someone has already solved this for you, hasn't they?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean, Your Excellency knows in your heart." Christopher said, "Although Finn Drost has escaped, that doesn't mean that the Cult of Wisdom can completely control the aristocratic faction, and there are other beings who have come to you, right?" ”

“.... Is the Church of Truth in league with the Freedom Society? ”

Duke Yovanovich was both surprised and not surprised by this result, Finn Drost had been helping Katerina, and the Church of Truth was on its side... There are other forces that secretly help.

No matter how you look at it, the Church of Truth is the object of the Liberty Society's support and help, and it is likely to be some kind of alliance.

But....

Christopher replied in the negative: "The Liberty Society is our enemy, and we have never made an agreement with the Liberty Society. ”

Duke Yovanovich took a sip of wine, but he didn't speak, but in his heart he felt that Christopher was farting.

Not an alliance .... Why does the Freedom Society go to such lengths to help the Church of Truth?

It doesn't make sense at all.

"Father Mavi has long known about the existence of the forces behind the scenes, and we believe that they have reached some kind of agreement with Your Excellency and the noble faction in advance, including the request to rescue the family of the noble faction." "We are not interested in the specifics of the agreement, but I must remind you to never forget who you are and never to believe the sweet words of the enemy," Christopher said. ”

“.......”

Christopher stood up and walked to the balcony as he said, "If Your Excellency still has even the slightest backbone and blood, you should fight for the Romanov Kingdom, traitor.... It's not going to end well. ”

With their wings spread, Jaylan and the rest of the Bloodline took Christopher and Sarina into the sky and disappeared into the night.

Duke Yovanovich sat alone on the sofa, silently drinking, his eyes flickering.

After a long time, he sighed faintly.

"Where can I turn back now.....

........................................................

9 p.m., Saratov.

The rented temporary house was full of people.

Goncharov looked at the many figures in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Father Mavi has issued an encyclical ordering us to launch an armed coup d'état at 9 p.m. on July 3, and comrades from other cities will respond at the same time. ”

"Great!" Scottkin's eyes, who were standing in front of the crowd, lit up: "We've been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

"Among the secret police are the monks of the Cult of Wisdom, who have used magic to quell the riots of the past few days, and if we cannot defeat them, the coup will not succeed." Waison said with some concern.

"Magic that can control people's hearts is the biggest stumbling block on our revolutionary road, and Father Mavi has given me the strength to fight against the Cult of Wisdom..."

Goncharov rubbed the bard singing ring in his hand, bowed his chin and said, "Don't worry about the Cult of Wisdom, I'll take action." ”

After hearing that Goncharov was going to participate in the coup d'état, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively, and Scottkin said even more excitedly: "What should we do? Organizing the storming of municipal buildings by the population, as before? ”

"No, this is an organized coup d'état!"

Goncharov took a map of the city of Saratov, spread it out on the table, and pointed to the prison on the outskirts: "Many of our comrades are imprisoned here, and after the coup begins, we must rescue them as soon as possible, Scottkin, you are familiar with the surrounding terrain, I plan for you to lead the team, storm the prison, and rescue our comrades!" ”

"No problem! Leave it to me! ”

"Wyson, Novik.... You are the workers of the city, and before tomorrow night, I want you to bring the news of the coup d'état to every believer, tell them the specific time, and when the first shot is fired, everyone will immediately respond, actively mobilize the people, assemble, and take the municipal building! ”

"Understood!"

Goncharov took a deep breath, grasped his fist in his hand, and hammered the table: "Comrades, the rotten regime has come to an end!" Our time has come! ”

"We will do whatever it takes to regain what we have lost! Plant the banner that belongs to the truth at the highest point in Saratov! Tell everyone that Saratov's comrades are the bravest and most united! ”

"Truth comes first!"
