The firelight was shining more and more intensely, and the two of them were not very aware of it, but they also began to feel that something was wrong.

Xavier put on his clothes and left Caroline in bed, while he went out to the balcony to see what was going on outside the Doge's Palace.

And as far as the eye could see, the entire city of Crete began to appear irregular fires, and it could be seen that fires were breaking out everywhere, which surprised Xavier.

No need to ask, something must have happened that is not right.

He hurriedly told Caroline to pack her things, and he himself took out his steel and silver swords, ready to deal with all potential enemies.

You must know that to protect the people you love, you can't just communicate with words, he and Viscount Wallace have learned the technique for so long, just to put what they have learned into practice at this moment.

As for the viscount himself, although he is also a little worried, Xavier believes that his strong strength can definitely bless him without worry, so the top priority is naturally to protect Caroline and himself.

Thinking like this, he immediately went to the governor, but found that the governor was busy and constantly commanding his men, anxious and unable to solve the problem.

"Go and put out the fire and stop the mob at once, or you will all die!" the governor no longer had his usual amiable appearance, threatening his men.

"But Lord Governor, we don't have any troops, most of them have been sent out to suppress other places," the subordinates said they could not do anything.

Because according to Vasiliki's establishment, to a large extent, there was a separation of military and political power, and the governor had extremely high jurisdiction over the capital city of Crete, but lacked the most important point, military power.

This is to avoid the arrogance of some people and become warlords, feudal towns and the like, but now, it just happens to hinder the governor himself.

According to his words, there was already a riot in the city, which Xavier did not expect, he thought that the riot would also happen elsewhere and would not appear in the capital.

But as the saying goes, a spark can start a prairie fire, there is injustice anywhere, as long as there is a slogan, a demagoguery, some people are willing to rebel against the rule of the Minoan Empire.

This was the case with the riots in the city, and the understaffed governor angrily pushed everything off the table, but to no avail.

He didn't know what to do, so he could only wait for the army outside the city to come back in time to support.

Damn, why is this happening, as soon as the garrison goes out to suppress it, there is a rebellion in the city?

There must be someone in the back commanding, I didn't find out anything, it was my problem

He blamed himself for a moment, calmed down a little, and after controlling the city of Crete for so many years, he believed that he must have a way.

But at this moment, a herald suddenly ran in, ran past Xavier, ran past the Governor's men, and ran directly in front of the Governor.

"What's the matter, so flustered?" said the Governor, who immediately shouted.

"Governor, there's a mob, a mob is coming!" the herald fell to his knees, seemingly helpless.

As it spoke, the voices of the rebels began to appear, raising their homemade swords or torches, as if to come to the Doge's palace to denounce the leader of the colonists here, the Governor.

The Governor, who had been calm for a while, suddenly collapsed to the ground, noticed Xavier, and hurriedly said to him

"Xavier, you're here, come here, listen to me"

He whispered in Xavier's ear, "In the Doge's Palace, there is a secret passage, please help take my daughter and escape from there"

"I don't have any promises, I can only ask you, it's just an old father's request to you"

"Can you do me a favor?"
