"Really?"

Prince Fairmode's expression showed a slight consternation and surprise, but he quickly calmed down, and he sneered:

"So what? Father, if you had made me the crown prince half a year ago, maybe I wouldn't have come this far today.

You have promised to establish a reserve three times and twice in the past, but you have been delaying this matter until now, and now that we have the victory, why should we pray for your approval?! My loyal knights, take down these rebels and thieves!

」

"Chain Lightning!"

"Defend Your Majesty! Defend Her Royal Highness and the Ministers!"

Suddenly, from outside the hall, there was an old angry roar and a shout of slaughter and the sound of weapons and armor staggering.

Then a dazzling flash of lightning rushed towards these knights of the palace guard who were holding long swords and were about to kill the enlightened nobles in the Aran Hall, although they were all wearing Mithril armor, their bodies were still trembling by the power of this six-ring spell, and it was difficult to move forward for the time being.

The princess Dorothea followed the sound in surprise and saw a white-haired old man in a mage robe and a group of palace guard knights who were also wearing silver armor pouring into the Aran Hall.

Viscount Hart still had some blood on his body, and after receiving the notice of the temporary change of plans, he led the knights of the palace guard loyal to the enlightened faction to lurk around the Aran Hall to prevent them from being prepared.

With just an order from Her Royal Highness, he could rush to the Aram Hall in time to control the situation.

"Fermod Ahlika! For the sake of the throne, you did not hesitate to collude with the hands of the dead to let those necromancers infiltrate the Dragon Sleep Treasury! Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"

Archmage Strachey fell to the ground, and immediately said with an angry expression, and this news immediately caused an uproar among the nobles and officials in the Aran Hall regardless of faction.

In the history of the Empire, necromancers have caused several disasters that have forced the Church and the Mage's Guild to issue a wanted arrest for this group. Even conservatives are deeply jealous of these terrible existences, and naturally they will not want to be involved with the hands of the dead.

Even the knights of the palace guard, who were loyal to Prince Fairmode, looked at each other and slowed down the pace of the attack after learning the news.

"So what, Archmage Strach, if I don't collude with the hands of the dead, you and the enlightened nobles who smell of copper will support me?

Wake up! Conservatives, this is a bloody struggle, and I am only making a deal with the hands of the dead, and as soon as we get the throne, history will be written by us!

Or do you have any other path to go now?"

Prince Fairmode saw that the people in his camp were shaken by Archmage Strach's words, and hurriedly shouted.

His heart sank, according to the estimation of Prince Fairmode, the palace guards should not react so quickly, otherwise he would not have rushed into the Aran Hall with only more than sixty knights of the palace guards loyal to him, to prevent the unexpected earthquake just now from dispersing the enlightened nobles who had gathered in advance with the help of the banquet.

This reality also made the hesitant knights of the palace guard react, indeed, when they followed Sharan Andy from his post to the Aran Hall tonight, there was no room for them to recover.

The conservative aristocrats who participated in the banquet on the side also silently stood on the side of Prince Fairmode.

Although they didn't know about the prince's collusion with the hands of the deceased, their family had been more or less involved in the prince's plan, and there was no way to get out of it.

With the support of these nobles, whose strength level is not much different from that of the palace guards, Prince Fairmode also has the confidence to confront the more powerful enlightened faction.

On the other side, Xia Lin, who was at the docks of Isaac Manor, received a summons from the princess Dorothea and immediately issued it

Begin to execute the order of the Jewel Capture Project.

A new army soldier who was armed in the Isaac Manor was divided into two lines in a squad platoon, one part followed the guidance of the officers among them, and quickly marched towards the predetermined defensive point to complete the blockade of the Longmian Palace, and the other part was to move towards the west gate of the Longmian Palace, preparing to enter the interior of the Longmian Palace to receive the royal daughter and others in the palace and complete the control of the Longmian Palace.

"This way!"

Lamber, the squad leader of the 2133 squad of the new army, held a detailed map of the eastern district, and kept checking the location of the infantry squad under his command, leading his soldiers and the mages and mercenaries of the chamber of commerce who were attached to their squad to march towards the predetermined 22nd point.

In order to achieve the strategic goal, Xia Lin selected the squad and platoon led by officers with a good sense of direction and memory, and who could read the map from nearly 100 squad and platoon level officers in advance, and arranged their defensive strongholds to a point far away from the starting position Isaac Manor.

The occupants of the Eastern District are basically some big nobles and officials, and they are all summoned to the Dragon Sleeping Palace tonight, and the Eastern District does not allow civilians to enter, and the streets seem to be very deserted, which also reduces the possibility of them being detected in advance.

Lamber led his subordinates through an alley, and when he was about to reach the twenty-second stronghold, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, judging from the scale of the sound, the owners of these footsteps were at least a dozen or more.

Is it a civilian? No, where did the commoners in the Eastern District where those noble lords lived?

"Stop! Let's take a closer look!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Lamber raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop, and after a while, a group of civilians dressed in ordinary clothes dragged their families into the alley where they were, their expressions full of panic.

"Stop, who are you! Why is it in the Eastern Side?"

Seeing that this group of strangely looking civilians was about to meet their new army soldiers, Lamber strode out of the alley where they were hiding to stop them from running, raised his rifle and aimed at the couple running at the front.

The soldiers behind him raised their rifles in the same way, and the knights and mercenaries in the team drew their swords and looked at the panicked civilians with fierce eyes.

"Big ...... My lord, we are just ordinary civilians! Please don't do it! Don't do it!"

Suddenly seeing so many heavily armed soldiers in front of him, the man in the couple hurriedly pulled his wife behind him and shouted in fear with his hands open to protect his wife.

"Be quiet! We're not patrolling the East Side, and if you answer my question honestly, then we won't do anything to you, now tell me, what are you civilians doing in the East Side?"

Lamber looked at the frightened faces of the man and his wife, feeling like some heinous person, frowned slightly and threw this awkward feeling out of his heart, and continued to repeat the question.

"Have we made it to the East End?"

"It's over, if you get caught by the guards of the Eastern District, I'm afraid you'll be whipped again!"

Hearing Lamber's words, the group of civilians immediately showed a look of surprise and worry, and after they talked to each other for a while, seeing that Lamber's group did not act excessively, a middle-aged man in the crowd mustered up his courage and stepped forward with a cowering and said:

"My lord, we were all in the Central District for tonight's New Year's celebration, but suddenly many city guards appeared at the festival, saying that they were going to enforce the curfew order of His Majesty the Emperor, and then they drove us and the vendors away without mercy.

We also came to the East Side because we couldn't see the road clearly in the confusion, so please forgive us for our offense with merciful adults!"
