Chapter 357: War from within the city
Mass Empire.
The sky is blue and the sun is shining.
"Tsk, how do you feel like there are so few people......"
A man who went to work in a tavern in the inner city looked at the sparsely populated streets and muttered.
He didn't take the anomaly to heart.
After all, the city has not been in turmoil for hundreds of years, and I believe that it will be so calm in the future.
】
And for men, instead of thinking about it, it's better to think about what to eat for dinner tonight.
But when he was about to enter the inner city, he noticed that there were people in armor patrolling ahead.
The sun fell from the sky, shining on the shiny nail stomach, emitting a dazzling halo.
This armor style......
The man filtered quickly in his head, and during his time working at the tavern, he vaguely remembered that some of the guests had discussed such topics.
A stomach with rounded corners like this is usually worn by knights who guard the frontier.
The knights of the Empire, on the other hand, were more accustomed to using armor that looked extremely sharp.
It's just that how did these soldiers who were supposed to be on duty at the border get to the city, and it is still the most important capital.
Could it be that this year is the end of the five-year rotation period?
The man touched the back of his head, feeling a little puzzled for a while, and after thinking for a while, he didn't remember how long the rotation of border soldiers was.
But this does not affect him to go to the tavern to work to earn money, for himself to earn the next meal is the most important thing.
So he barely hesitated, and continued to walk forward.
But soon, a spear with a cold light was in front of him.
"Gollum ......"
The man stepped back cautiously, and at the same time his heart was in turmoil.
If it weren't for his quick reaction, he would have crashed into it.
He looked at the people who stood in his way, none other than the knights from the border.
"Knights, is there something going on?"
The man smiled humbly and flatteringly at the strong knight, and at the same time kept his eyes on the weapon in front of him, for fear that he would swing it directly in the next moment.
The tip of the weapon shone with a sharp chill, and he seemed to be able to smell the bloody smoke coming from the battlefield.
"This place has been cordoned off and civilians are not allowed to enter."
Beneath the heavy helmet, a muffled voice rang out.
His eyes looked at the man like an eagle staring at its prey, and the indifferent gaze made him feel goosebumps.
The man couldn't help but take a step back again, and at the same time raised his hands slightly, indicating that he had no malicious intent.
He crossed the figures of several knights and looked at the inner city behind them.
At this moment, there were few people inside, and even if there were, it was not those gorgeously dressed gentlemen and young ladies, but soldiers in heavy armor.
In the slit of the helmet was a pair of cold and nervous eyes.
Blockade?
After listening to the knight's warning, the man wondered what was going on.
Luckily, the tavern where I work is not on this street.
The man couldn't help but feel glad in his heart, and then retreated to find another way.
After his figure left, several knights glanced at each other, and then one continued to patrol, while others dragged several corpses out of a shadow.
They took off the armor from their bodies and replaced them with the sharper corners of the corpses.
"Fortunately, it wasn't discovered......"
"Hurry up, and change it before those people find out."
“……”
……
The man went around to another street, only to find that several knights were still blocking and even setting up barricades!
Only this time it was a soldier in the city.
The man continued to bypass the street without giving up and went to another road.
As a result, it was the same as the previous two times, it was still under lockdown, and all the barricades had been set up.
Could it be that the entire inner city is under lockdown?
What about your own work?
The man shook his head, and suddenly understood why the street was so deserted.
He gritted his teeth and finally gave up the detour.
Although I don't know what happened, my life is still at stake after all.
This hasn't happened for hundreds of years, but today it suddenly appeared, and something might be wrong.
As the man left, he seemed to hear a crisp voice.
The voice seemed to come from the sky, and he looked up a little blankly.
But there was nothing, but I don't know if it was his delusion, the sky seemed to be clearer than before.
But now was not the time to care, and the man saw a column of soldiers hurrying towards him.
The road trembled slightly, and the sound of horses' hooves was hurried in the distance.
The man quickly found a house and went in and hid.
Curled up behind a wall, feeling the constant tremors beneath him, he looked sideways at the street.
only to find that the column of soldiers just now was just an appetize.
Now it is marching towards the inner city in one phalanx after another.
A large number of soldiers entered the city?
The man felt his scalp tingle, and his hands and feet seemed to shake together with the trembling of the ground.
He glanced elsewhere and saw that there were many people like him poking their heads out and looking at the army marching through the street in a panic.
No one knows what this is all about.
Everyone was just nervously staying home, waiting for it to be over.
……
"That's your plan?"
"This is no longer an assassination, this is a rebellion!"
"Now there's panic in the city!"
Grand Duke Middleton saw that it had caused a huge impact on the city, and his eyes looked at the leader of the Knights on the opposite side with a somewhat gloomy gaze.
At this moment, they had gathered in front of the palace, and inside were the guards who were waiting for them.
"Grand Duke Middleton, is there a difference between an assassination and a rebellion?"
"Sometimes it's not the means that matters, it's the result that matters."
"And who told you it was a rebellion?"
The head of the Order smiled and looked at the other nobles.
A dozen knights behind him faced the palace and confronted the guards inside.
This is already the limit of what can be brought in, otherwise there would be a whole knight order behind him now.
"Alas, you all had the audacity to act against the monarch back then, but now you are so cowering in this matter."
The head of the knights sighed a little, and he didn't shy away from the things of the year at all.
"Head Charles, please shut up......"
Grand Duke Bruce said slowly, and several other nobles were already a little unhappy when they heard the head of the regiment talk about the events of the year on such an occasion.
"Although Archduke Middleton is a little anxious, your plan is indeed a little simple."
"Grand Duke Bruce, you must know that the simplest plan is the least likely to be flawed, especially the impromptu plan, no one would have expected all this."
Captain Charles was dressed in airtight silver-gray armor with shallow scratches one after another.
He grabbed a large sword in both hands and plunged it into the ground.
"Do you think anyone expected that now?"
Captain Charles's voice buzzed a little through the helmet, but it still didn't affect the smile in his words.
Archduke Middleton's face was not very good-looking.
The guards were indeed undetectable, and even Captain Charles's old rival Biggs did not anticipate it.
But at the same time, their own side was not prepared for anything, and everything came so suddenly.
Head Charles continued.
"If you make a very complicated plan like you did back then, but in the end it is the queen who comes out and intervenes......"
"Head Charles, I don't want to talk too much nonsense with you now, what's next?"
Grand Duke Middleton interrupted him with a heavy cough.
In his mind, this simple and crude method was extremely indecent and contrary to the image of the nobility.
"Well, the next step is underway, and it should be now."
Head Charles smiled, then pointed to the sky.
"Kacha!"
I heard a crisp sound that was clearly audible suddenly, as if it was the sound of glass breaking.
Is that...... The capital's great array has been temporarily cracked?!
Grand Duke Middleton's eyes moved slightly, feeling the mysterious factor that was reactivating around him, and he looked at Captain Charles.
"Next, you quickly ask your warlocks to set up a temporary space teleportation, and send my boys over to surround the palace."
"Then there's the army you've co-opted, and when you come, you'll first have to take control of the newspapers and prevent those annoying reporters from running around, and we'll need them to put an end to it."
"When the time comes, it will be announced to the public that we are the army that has come to suppress the rebellion, and the target of the suppression is the queen."
"The queen had bad intentions more than ten years ago, but thanks to the restrain of the nobles, she didn't let her ambitions succeed......"
"That's probably it, I'm sure you should make up more of these things than I do."
Commander Charles pulled out his bright silver sword, and then seemed to think of something, and said to the nobles and the others.
"Archduke Middleton, to be honest, I don't quite understand why the strength of the nobles obviously crushes the queen, but she can develop to such a point."
"With this kind of strength, it's good to crush the past in a dignified manner, why bother engaging in all kinds of complicated conspiracies and tricks, but in the end it is not satisfactory."
Head Charles shook his head, as if he couldn't understand what they had been doing.
"You don't understand, this is not a battlefield."
Grand Duke Bruce glanced at Archduke Middleton, who was about to smoke with anger, and could only answer helplessly for him.
"Now that there is a fight, treat it as a battlefield."
"And for me, this is the battlefield!"
The blue light gradually rose, and one figure after another appeared behind Captain Charles.
They slowly approached the palace, exuding a terrifying majesty.
……
When Biggs received the news and was rushing to the palace, he noticed a figure in front of him.
"Who are you!"
The man's dark green eyes exuded a cold aura, and the corners of his mouth cracked, revealing Bai Sen's teeth.
"Hello Your Excellency, I'm Stillkenberg Ornjochs."
"Unfortunately, you can't leave today."
……
"Your Royal Highness, good day."
"It's Your Excellency Charles, what's the matter with you bringing someone here?"
Yin Lizabeth looked at Captain Charles with blood stains in front of him, and said indifferently.
"With your wisdom, I don't need to explain much."
"Looks like I'm underestimating your madness."
She frowned slightly, and although she was surprised by this, her expression did not change much.
Even if the power she has accumulated is being purged.
"I'm not a nobleman, I'm just a man who came out of the battlefield."
"You haven't been on the battlefield, so you probably don't know that you don't know how to talk about benevolence and morality on the battlefield, and you won't maintain the so-called aristocratic elegance."
"All means are in the service of victory."
Head Charles gradually approached Yin Lizabeth, wanting to see her expression clearly at the moment.
But unfortunately there are no major changes.
"You lost, Your Highness."
"Do you know what your biggest weakness is?"
"Everything you do is supported by yourself, you are alone, and no one can inherit your power."
"As long as you die, no, or just disappear for a while, your power will naturally disintegrate."
Suddenly the surroundings lit up, the ornate decorations around them began to flicker, and another scene appeared.
It was an empty wilderness, silent and desolate.
In addition to the hard sharp stone, there is only one artificially excavated round stone platform.
Yin Lisa's white golden eyes rolled slightly.
"Spatial Surface Movement?"
With a slight wave of his hand, a huge force suddenly pressed downward.
Soon the surrounding scene stabilized in the room.
But at this moment, two other breaths suddenly appeared.
The two of them exuded a powerful aura, revealing their identity as Huiyue.
They looked at Yin Lizabeth with fear, and then stabilized the formation and fixed it in the wasteland.
If the queen is desperate, then the capital will definitely be destroyed.
So from all angles, the queen's disappearance in the capital is the best choice.
Captain Charles took a deep breath, and then the snow-white blade of his sword was aimed at the queen of the empire.
