Chapter Eighty-Five: Entering the Palace

Virgin reported the attack to the Hammers, and when Wrotz learned of it, he rushed to the palace to report the matter to the emperor. Dandong's betrayal was clearly revealed, and he asked that on the day the banquet began, the city would be full of troops to take Dandong down, and strike first to maintain the stability of the dynasty. He asked William to contact the church and the Holy See now, and then called on the monastery in the mountains near the city of Carlo to send monks to help suppress Danton.

He denounced Danton's actions, claiming that the great cause of the dynasty would be lost in his hands, William was the key to this turmoil, and the only person who could prevent Danton from causing a disaster was him, and he should not be emotional at this moment!

William was startled in the middle of the night, and after hearing these things, he felt like someone had poured cold water on him, and his mind suddenly sobered up. But he didn't say anything right away, he sat on the throne with puzzle in his eyes. After a long time, he said, "I really am." After that, there was no follow-up.

He stopped paying attention to Wrotz's words and began to look like a contemplative, his eyes fixed on the front, and he didn't know what to think in his head. No one dared to disturb him. The atmosphere froze, and a sense of suffocation filled the entire palace.

After a long time, William spoke again: "Call Munet." ”

Frotz felt that this time the emperor had finally opened his mind, and the arrival of Munet meant that His Majesty the emperor would no longer indulge Danton's behavior. Convicted according to dynastic law, the betrayer Danton should be sentenced to death, he would be sent to the gallows, even if he was the emperor's own brother, he could not escape punishment. is the worst outcome, William tried his best to keep Danton, then he also had to abolish Danton's title and take back his fiefdom. He will be reduced to a lowly inferiority.

Frotz would not let Danton have any chance to live, because he blamed Danton for the death of his brother Franco, and he suspected that Danton was the murderer, so he wanted to avenge his brother.

Hammer is a close minister of William's side, and if he wants to bring down William, he must deal with Hammer, but Danton can't come to Carrot City openly to cut off William's right-hand man, so he can only secretly deal with Hammer's unreachable Malen Province. He was sure that when Danton was secretly dealing with the forces of the Hammer family in Malen Province, he happened to run into Franco over there, so he killed him.

Just like the attack on Yansui Pass this time, this is completely their conspiracy, and this time it is even more above board!

Vrotz vowed in his heart that Danton's body would be broken into pieces.

Munett had a serious expression, holding a purple crystal ball in his hand, and walked towards the palace with a quick pace. He didn't even notice the people he met on the way, and when he walked through the dark corridor, he noticed that there were also a few people around him who were as hurried as him, and the expressions on their faces were full of solemnity.

They just looked at each other, and guessed in their hearts what they were here for late at night. There was no communication, and everyone followed into the palace in turn. Wrotz. Hammer and the Emperor have been waiting here for a long time.

William asked everyone to take their seats, everyone already knew the purpose of coming here, and William stopped talking nonsense, and went straight to the point and asked how to deal with it. He asked the nobles and ministers for their opinions. None of them spoke immediately, they looked at each other, and their eyes more or less turned to Wrotz.

Eventually, it was Vrotz who spoke, and he proposed that the city should be armed, and that a large number of dead soldiers should be placed in the palace just in case. The city gate is handed over to the major families and the two Holy Sees, and if there is a little trouble, they will immediately start to arrest the suspicious person. In addition, Munet added that on the day of the banquet, people entering the city should be restricted, and those who successfully enter the city should also do a good job of identity screening to ensure that the accident is minimized.

Wrotz smiled in the tense atmosphere of the evening, and then everyone showed how much they had contributed, bringing almost all the elite of the realm into the city, and they reorganized all their troops and named them the King's Army. The purpose is to maintain the security and peace of the dynasty, and refuse all betrayers to break this peace.

While everyone was rejoicing at the establishment of this mighty army, the king was the only one who was silent, and how could he be happy that this army was used against his brother, and that it was the army that had severed the bonds between them. William really hoped that Danton would turn around and not let the relationship between the two brothers break down like this.

Dandong did not know about this on the night when the king's army was formed, because the army entered the city quietly afterwards, and they did not give the Tieling spies a chance to get information.

The day after Kane rejected Heinie, Danton's army marched towards Karot City like a torrent of steel made of gold, silver, and black iron. The army marched mightily through the golden wheat fields and through the green forests. They numbered about a thousand and consisted of silver riders, vassals, free swordsmen, mages, wandering warlocks, and more.

The hot and dry wind blew through their faces, and with it a stream of heat remained in their armor, and the knights, clothed in their armor, were irritated by the heat, but no one complained. Soon, the mage group behind them cast a frost mage on them, and the weakened version of the frost mage brought a burst of refreshment to everyone.

There were many faces in the team that William didn't remember, only the middle-aged man surrounded by a team of various knights was the person he remembered. Kane, a handsome knight with a scar on his brow, saw the bloated Emperor and found that he was so different from the last time he was honored in Hammer that he almost didn't recognize His Majesty.

The short-haired Wrotz, who stood next to Kaiser Wilhelm, was familiar to Kane, with cruelty and intrigue in his eyes, Kane was no longer deceived by his previous appearance. Kane's killing of Franco didn't reveal anything, and when the team passed by, they all greeted Danton, and they didn't see anything wrong on the surface.

Kane was dressed in a snow-white cape, his hair delicately combed back, and his eyes were piercing, and he walked down the street, attracting the attention of a large number of young girls. Their fiery gazes were all ignored by Kane, who walked down the street with his head held high.

Kane was surrounded by adoring gazes, and Gray. Gory's gloomy gaze fell on Kane. He is still haunted by what happened last time, because Kane did not stop Virgin, which caused him to lose face in front of Danton.

"Don't be complacent, boy, I'll make you pay." Gray said bitterly in his heart.

Suddenly, Kane noticed that something was wrong, and the people of the city welcomed them. But secretly he noticed that something was wrong, there were more masked monks and homeless people than he had seen before when he had lived here. This is an anomaly, as monks generally live in monasteries deep in the mountains, and rarely come out to show their faces in the world, unless something major happens.

By the time the last winter swept through the city of Carrot, the damned homeless were almost dead, and there were hardly any survivors, but now there were so many homeless people hiding in the corners, which was not normal.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, William is not as defenseless to Dandong as the legend says, presumably many of those who hide in the crowd and in the shadows are William's killers, this trip is really breaking into the Longtan Tiger's Den.

Neros quietly accelerated behind Kane, and he whispered beside Kane: "I'm afraid it's a big trouble this time, I saw the Holy Sword Blessed Jaime over there in the Holy See. Sir Terry, where he exists, there must be Sanda. Sir Rohan. They were once known as the Holy See Gemini and were extremely difficult figures to deal with. ”

"I've also found a lot of anomalies, and this trip is even more dangerous than I thought."

"Did you see that scumbag guy?" Kane asked him in a low voice, referring to Talos, the current president of the Magical Society, the man whom Nelutes hated.

"I haven't found it for the time being, and I guess I'm hiding in the dark. I'm going to get this gutter rat out! ”

"Then be careful yourself, remember to find me if you have a situation, don't go on one." Kane snapped up to catch up with Danton and William's team.

At this time, the others dismounted and walked towards the area covered by the palace, and the horseman took care of the horses. The queen had been waiting here for a long time, and he took the little prince to greet the refreshed Dandong. Danton praised the beauty of the empress, and then followed William's family into the palace in a huge and luxurious double-decker carriage.

The glossy red lacquered carriage was trimmed with gold and made of precious wood and metal, and eight pure-blooded highland horses with uniform fur pulled through the black boulder gate.

After dismounting, William happily pulled Danton and strode towards the palace, and the little prince excitedly shook off the queen's hand and ran towards his father and uncle. The queen walked behind slowly, her eyebrows were full of sorrow, she didn't show the worry in her heart in front of Dandong just now, but the gloom at this moment was even denser, especially when she saw the little prince so close to Dandong.

Kane and the others were received by the Grand Governor of the Imperial Court, who placed the invited princes and Grand Knights in another hall. The splendid hall is carved with various artistic treasures, and the walls are hung with precious blankets, and it is not difficult to guess that it is from the cotton wool city, which has the "capital of woolen fabrics".

Soon, other local nobles from Carrot City appeared one after another, and they greeted each other, but no one came up to talk to the guests from Tieling. A strange circle was created in this way, and it was not difficult for the discerning person to see that the guests of Tieling were being isolated by everyone, and some of them were looking at them with playful expressions.

Kane stood not far from the mage group, and beside him were Nefrius and Tib, two mages, who were dressed very low-key today, and did not change into matching mage clothes, and the robes they wore were symbolized by their own strength. Kane noticed that someone in the group of nobles opposite him was staring at him with ill intentions, and when he looked up, he saw a red-haired man in armor who happened to have his head bowed.

Then the man walked into the crowd again, Kane didn't see his face, but remembered some of the features of his hair - he was a little bald on the top of his head, and he had very little hair.

"What's wrong with you? Did you notice something wrong? Neros asked, patting his arm.

"It's nothing, I just saw a strange man looking at us with an unkind gaze, it was a slightly bald man, wearing armor, and I felt that he was a little ill-intentioned." Kane replied.

Nelus thought for a while, and finally remembered something and said, "That guy should be Tridian, a bald knight raised by the Ranko family." He is the dude Feng Xi. Ranko's men. ”

"Lanko?" Kane whispered, his voice small, barely detectable, but still for Nelus to hear.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing." Kane replied.

After everyone arrived at the palace, the originally deserted palace became lively, but not everyone was eligible to enter the palace. Only those he designated to bring in were allowed to stay in the palace, while the others were on the periphery of the palace. The exits of the palace were heavily guarded, and no one could enter without a warrant, which was what William meant.

But even the soldiers and knights who remained outside were well treated, and William gave them another grand banquet outside, and there was an imperceptible smell of gunpowder in a joyous atmosphere, which everyone did not light up, but knew it.
