The news of the riots in Dongyuan was successively conveyed to the Imperial Capital Public Security Office.
However, under the chaotic command, the twenty-one teams that were successively transferred from the neighborhoods near the imperial city were like mud cattle entering the sea, and a large number of troops were wasted in useless consumption.
However, due to the traffic congestion in the imperial capital tonight, the news from the front could not be immediately conveyed back to the headquarters of the security office. On the contrary, because there were too many counterinsurgency forces temporarily transferred from various places, the order in some neighborhoods became more and more out of control.
Without the support of the Wangcheng Guards, the security patrol team faced individual combat, and gradually became difficult to support alone.
When there was no news of the more than 20 patrol teams dispatched, the commander of the security station seemed to finally realize the strict mistake he had made.
And by this time, it's already too late!
According to later statistics, the original permanent population of the imperial capital has exceeded one million, and because it is a New Year's celebration, there are many foreign populations and tourists, as well as some caravans and caravans from all over the country who temporarily come to see the lively scene, local nobles, tourists, and so on.
In the period around the New Year, the population of the imperial capital is said to have gathered in more than two million - not counting the four acropolis around the capital of God.
And that night, the number of people who went out of their homes to see the excitement was more than 800,000 in just six blocks near the imperial city!
There are only a few thousand soldiers in the Imperial Capital Security Station!
After losing more than twenty patrols, the effective control of the city was completely lost!
Doomed, it's going to be a chaotic New Year's Eve!
Under the heavy snow, in the face of the crowded streets, even if the cavalry shouted and shouted as much as they could, and even picked up their horsewhips to wave them away, it was difficult to cross the crowded long streets.
In the face of dense crowds, the cavalry could not pick up their sabers and cut the way.
Here, it's the imperial capital!!
The guards around him had already seen that General Aker's face was getting more and more gloomy!
The road was full of crowded people, some of whom were running here from the direction of Dongyuan, and some of them had already heard about the riots in Dongyuan, so they instinctively ran to the west, trying to get away from the riot area. Others were unaware of the fact that they were still moving west with the crowd.
Without the policing patrols to maintain order, the entire neighborhood has become a mess.
At night, the fires in the Dongyuan area were already clearly visible, and the raging fire caused panic among the crowds on the streets, and the panic was still spreading.
With the arrival of the cavalry, trying to drive the crowd out of the way, a great chaos broke out!
"General, I can't get by, what should I do!"
The captain of the personal guard cavalry under his command looked nervous and in such a cold day, this sturdy cavalryman was covered with hot sweat, and the white gas spewed out of his mouth was steaming.
Aker's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He glanced coldly at the captain of the personal guard who had followed him for many years, and said coldly:
"Command, charge the queue! The striker opens the way! The one who stands in the way ・・・・・・ kill!"
Even on such a cold and snowy night, when these murderous words came out of Aker's mouth, the captain of the personal guard still felt a chill in his heart!
"General・・・・・・ "The captain of the guard could hear his voice trembling: "Here, but...... Imperial capital. ”
At the end, he swallowed a mouthful of spit.
Aker's eyes stared coldly at his subordinates: "Dongyuan riots! It is only less than a kilometer away from the palace! If the rebel party is on horseback, it will be possible to reach the palace city in ten minutes! If there is chaos, who can afford it!"
Aker's cruel eyes made everyone around him chill, and the captain of the guard shuddered for a moment, and finally made a military salute, turned his horse's head and ran to the front of the team in person, shouting loudly.
"Herald!Charge the queue!Charge the queue!All the knives are unsheathed!!The striker ・・・・・・ out of the way!!"
The last two words, almost popping out of my mouth with ice slag!
All Thor's Whip soldiers froze.
Although they were the most well-trained elite in the entire empire, this order was issued at this moment, and they were to wave their sabers at the people in the streets of the imperial capital・・・・・・ such an order・・・・・・
"The whole army is going forward!" Aker himself rode forward, his voice full of coldness and cruelty: "If you hesitate, die! Those who disobey military orders will die! Those who fall behind will die! Remember your identity! Military orders are like mountains!! The whole army will move forward!!"
As he spoke, Aker glared fiercely at the captain of his own guard.
This old courtier, who had followed him for nearly twenty years and was born in the Luo Lin family, finally spat at the mouth, pulled out his saber, roared, and rushed to the forefront of the team!
He roared wildly: "Cavalry forward, those who stand in the way are killed!!"
In the crowd, someone heard such a call sign, and quickly retreated like a tide. Get out of the way.
But after all, there are too many pedestrians on the street, and even if many people try their best to dodge, there is no room to dodge.
The captain of the guard roared, and rushed out of no more than ten meters, facing the crowded heads in front of him, he finally roared, and a shining fighting spirit burst out from the blade, and he swung it fiercely
When the Empire's most elite cavalry, armed to the teeth, swung their sharp sabers at the unarmed civilians, the end was already sealed!
The long street instantly became a Shura slaughter field!
As the cavalry charged, sharp sabers slashed into the soft flesh, miserable cries, pleadings, angry roars, desperate cries......
Resounded throughout the long street!
Pedestrians shouted frantically, retreated, ran, crowded, trampled on each other. More and more screams rang out.
The cavalry galloped on horseback, trampled on the flesh and blood with iron hooves, and crushed a road of flesh and blood!
Once the line of charge unfolds, it is like a body of steel crashing into flesh and blood!
The originally muddy snow gradually turned into an astonishing crimson color, and the armor and snow on the cavalry turned crimson......
Blood was dripping from the swords, beads of blood flowed down the blades, the faces of the cavalrymen were covered with blood, there were fragments of flesh and blood on their bodies and armor, and even the horses' hooves were all bloody!
The wails and screams behind him were endless, and every cavalryman had red eyes!
As they rushed through the short street of less than a mile, every cavalryman was bloodied with sabers, and every face was full of twists and madness! every pair of eyes were bloodshot.
After the bloody road rushed out, with the surge of people, the pedestrians on the streets in the distance had already fled one after another!
After rushing out of the long street, the eyes suddenly opened up, so that the cavalry who charged at the forefront finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but looking back behind them, the long street that had been dyed red with blood was deeply engraved in the hearts of every Thor's whip cavalry like a nightmare!
"Bastards! Bastards! You don't want to die!!"
The patrol of the police station that was originally following behind was completely shocked when the cavalry began to charge!
They couldn't believe what they saw: the Empire's own army, the most elite army that had piled up the tax money of the Empire's own people, actually slashed at its own people with sharp sabers!! and after the screaming began, the patrol completely collapsed!!
Shouts and angry yells were incessant, and even some of the patrol soldiers had angrily taken up their arms and rushed towards the cavalry at the back of the ranks, and some soldiers tried to rush up to stop the cavalry slaughter.
However, when faced with the elite Thor whip cavalry, these soldiers of the vigilante were clearly no match. The soldiers who rushed towards the iron hooves were quickly crushed, and the thin leather armor could not stop the sharp swords!
The unwilling vigilante patrol could only leave behind a string of angry curses and curses of despair.
The crowd had scattered and fled, and the cavalry of Thor's Whip rushed out of the long street, their hooves pounding on the ground and trampling mud and blood!
When there was nothing to stop the front, it seemed that the East Garden was not far away, and when it crossed the long street in front of it, it was already visible to the burning fire.
Aker suddenly gave the order and stopped the galloping cavalry ranks.
A hurried whistle sounded, and the marching ranks immediately stopped. Every cavalryman was panting and red-eyed, looking at their commander closely!
Aker had already ridden up from behind, his roar blown away by the cold wind of the night, but still clearly falling into the ears of the cavalrymen.
"All line up, change your yearning to the north!Target Imperial City Square!!"
Airplanes!!
This order suddenly made the faces of many officers change greatly!!
"Your Excellency!"
One lieutenant couldn't help but speak: "Aren't we going to Dongyuan!!"
"Dongyuan is handed over to the security office, we have a more important mission, defend the palace!!"
By this time, even the most innocent people realized that something was wrong tonight!!
Even if the riots in Dongyuan spread, there are still thousands of Red Feather Riders of the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial Palace! Even if the Red Feather Rider can't do it, there are still legendary court magicians in the Imperial Palace!
Looking at the Dongyuan rioters who were almost not far in front of them, they turned their horses around and headed north to the palace... ・・・
Would・・・・・・n't it be in vain to order everyone to wield their sabers and slash at the civilians to open the way・・・・・・
"Carry out the order!" Aker's cold voice was full of unquestionable flavor.
"My lord, I need a reasonable explanation!"
The adjutant general who had questioned it just now finally couldn't help but defend himself.
Even though Aker was the supreme commander of the Second Division, after all, this was the army of the Empire! Even if he had just given the order to rush at the civilians, it could barely be explained as a rush to quell the rebellion as much as possible.
But now・・・・・・ leaving the rioters close at hand, rushing to the palace with so many murderous cavalry????
It doesn't make sense anyway!!
"Military orders don't need to be explained!" Aker glared fiercely at the lieutenant.
"My lord!!" the adjutant general's face was already very ugly: "If you do this, it will be like...
A cold light flashed in Aker's eyes, and he suddenly burst out, the sharp blade shone with silver fighting energy, and with a brush, a human head flew into the sky! Blood sprayed in the cavity, and the corpse sitting on the horse shook a few times and fell to the ground!
"Who else has a problem!!"
Aker's face is hideous!
All the officers and soldiers of Thor's Whip were stunned by the sudden change in front of them!
Seeing that everyone was frightened, Aker simply raised his saber high and shouted:
"The Tulip Family, the Rollin Family, the Liszt Family, the Villa Family・・・・・・ the Ten Giants of the Empire jointly signed a joint election, Marcy Augustine, mediocre and ignorant of the imperial capital, is really a faint king, and now the ten giants have joined forces to depose the faint monarch and establish a new emperor together!!!!
Aker's roar drifted away in the cold wind, and anyone who heard this kind word couldn't help but shiver fiercely!!
Rebellion, rebellion!!
"Aker, you are a rebellion!!" an officer could not help but roar angrily, he drew his sword and pointed it at Aker and shouted: "You are a rebel and thief, everyone will be punished...... Ahh
Before he could finish speaking, the officer let out a scream, and a sword tip appeared on his chest!
He looked down at the tip of the sword on his chest in disbelief, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a colleague of his own, holding a long sword in his hand with a hideous face... ・・・
"I ...... You guys...... will be ...... Hang ......"
The officer fell from his horse with a bang.
Aker had already raised his long knife: "Where are the children of the Rollin family!!"
With his roar, there was a sudden response in the team.
Aker Rollin has been the commander of the 2nd Division of Thor's Whip for many years, and many of the 2nd Division are naturally his close confidants, and many of them are the children of the Rollin family he brought from Rollin's house!
The children of the Rollin family have always been extremely united, and their loyalty to the family is even more deep-rooted, and it is rarely shaken.
And the big event planned by Aker has already been precisely prepared, among the divisions, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments with the least number of descendants have been left in other blocks, and the Guards Cavalry Battalion and the two cavalry regiments with the largest number of children of his descendants and the Luo Lin family are following him at this moment! Up and down, almost seven adults are extremely loyal to him.
As for the few three adults, it would be better if they were simply coerced and together at this moment, if they were unwilling・・・・・・
Aker's eyes are full of murder!
"Depose the Emperor and set up a new Emperor!!" Aker roared.
Soon, countless sabers were raised below: "Depose the faint monarch and set up a new emperor!!"
"Depose the faint monarch and set up a new emperor !!"
"Depose the faint monarch and set up a new emperor !!"
"Depose the faint monarch and set up a new emperor !!"
Aker raised his saber higher: "Long live the Empire!! Long live the tulips!! Long live Rollin!!"
"Hooray!!"
"Long live the tulips!!"
"Long live the Empire!!"
"Long live the Lorraine!!"
There were also some wavering soldiers, and when they heard the name "Tulip", they remembered what Aker said about the "Ten Families Collaboration", and their hearts gradually hardened!
If this coup d'état was really set off by the Tulip family, then what ・・・・・・ have to worry about?
Besides, this throne ・・・・・・ originally belonged to the Tulip family, and the current royal family is simply a branch of the Tulip family.
Speaking of which, it's just a snatch for the throne within these wealthy families......
Also, too...... It's not treason, is it?
But if anyone can find a good reason for himself, it will be enough to remove the worries and guilt in his heart.
As more and more cavalrymen raised their sabers, the sneer on Aker's face grew stronger.
Finally, he threw another bombshell!
"Just now, everyone's hands are already stained with the blood of the people of the imperial capital! If you want to have nothing to do in the future, you can make a great contribution tonight, and the new emperor will naturally be exempted from the crime! If anyone is half-hearted, he is making a joke with the lives of himself and other brothers! Everyone will be punished!!"
As soon as these words came out, many people were even more chilled!
The massacre on Fang Cai Chang Street turned out to be ......
Vote for the name!!
When his saber swung at the crowd, he had already gotten on this thief ship and could not get off again!!
"All the troops are lined up, to the north!!"
"To the north!!"
"!! to the North"
Under the magic tower, although Clark's body stood there, it seemed to be like a shadow, and the figure gradually became transparent.
The Great Sword Master Kao's steps had already stepped on the steps, and his steps were very slow, very slow!
The Great Sword Master's forehead was already dripping with fine beads of sweat, but his gaze was getting sharper and colder!
Under the magic tower, it was as if the whole "world" was pressed on Kao's body - he had this feeling, as if what he was walking under his feet was not just a simple step, but a barrier to the world!
Finally, when he was about to step up the last step・・・・・・
It's as if there is some barrier, and it is crumbling!
This step seems to be eternal, and time is gradually frozen at this moment!
Clarke's face seemed to be frozen for an unknown amount of time, and the old mage suddenly raised his eyelids, and then he smiled.
There was a hint of relief and a hint of relief in the smile.
He nodded slowly and said softly, "Yes, what the Great Sword Master said is right. I am not a saint. ”
Kao said lightly: "With the power of mortals to control the holy power, why should the mage bother?"
Clark was silent, and then looked at Kao levelly: "If you have doubts in your heart, please ask for advice!"
"Please!" Kao seemed to look solemn as he slowly lowered his hands.
"What is the Holy Order?" Clark whispered.
Kao smiled: "Everything in the world has a law, and the reincarnation of heaven and earth has a law. In this world, people are like flowers, birds, fish, insects, mountains, rivers, even if it is a grain of sand and a piece of grass
and obey the rules of this world. ”
"So, man is a beast, a grain of sand or a grass?" asked Clarke.
Kao smiled faintly: "Everything is the same, whether it is the emperor or the Pope, whether it is pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps, in fact, the essence is the same." ”
Clark first nodded, then shook his head, and then frowned: "Everyone can say the truth, but if you can really believe it in your heart, it's not easy to talk about it." If you can't see through yourself, you can't see through the world, and you can't see through the rules. ”
Kao said lightly with a calm expression: "I have practiced swords for ten years, I have a small success at the age of twenty-three, I entered the advanced level at the age of twenty-eight, and I have not saved for five years after that. I just can't see through it!"
"How can you see through it?" Clarke's voice seemed to tremble a little, and the old mage's face became more and more transparent.
"How can you see through it?" said Kao, who smiled like a sword unsheathed.
Then, slowly, the only Sword Master of the Empire said the answer:
"Don't look!"
"No...... See?" Clark looked puzzled.
Kao glanced down at his feet, and after the two of them said this, he still hadn't landed on the steps yet, as if he was stepping on the eternity of time!
"The so-called not looking is to ・・・・・・ me step out, whether it is up or down, I only think in my heart that I am going to you! The so-called not looking is that my sword is pierced, whether it is a rock or a mountain in front of me, I just know that I want to stab this sword! The so-called not looking is a ......."
At the end, Kao's tone became calmer and calmer, and his voice became softer and softer: "Don't look at yourself, don't look at the world!"
Clark's body slammed!
The old mage's face became more and more complicated, and then he smiled, his smile bitter and meaningful.
"I spent a lifetime looking at the world, trying to find the essence of the so-called power・・・・・・ but I didn't expect that the real answer was ・・・・・・ not looking!"
Clark sighed softly, and then, suddenly, slowly, he stretched out his hands.
His thin fingertips, nails have fallen off, and the flesh of the fingertips is gradually peeling off, revealing the white bones of Sensen. The sleeves of his shirt fluttered and turned to ashes・・・・・・
His figure became more and more transparent, as if the next moment, it would be like snow in the sun, melting and dissipating.
"Before I die today, I can get the great sword master to solve the confusion in my heart, and I will die without regrets. Clarke's soft sigh finally fell.
Subsequently, his body began to disappear!
First his limbs, then his torso, all turned into light and dust and began to disperse.
It was as if the entire space was tearing apart and collapsing, but the look on Clark's face became more and more serene.
"Three-step Sacred Domain, Three-Step Sacred Domain! All my life, I have been pursuing a way to enter the Holy Domain, this three-step Sacred Domain given by the deceased, I have studied it for decades but have no clue, even with the help of its power, outside this world, but still indifferent. How ridiculous・・・・・・ but sad and sad. Clark said softly, as if it were for himself.
At the end, Clark suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Kao in front of him.
At this moment, his eyes were very strange, as if he had passed through an eternal distance of time and eternity, and finally landed on Kao's eyes.
"Great Sword Master...... After today, what will be the fortunes of the Empire?"
"I am a sword, what does the fortune of the country have to do with me. Kao shook his head.
"So...... What does the throne belong to?"
Kao sighed: "The left and right are just theirs, the mage has been obsessed with this mundane love all his life, no wonder he wanders outside the holy realm." ”
There was a hint of relief in Clark's eyes: "Not bad...... Left and right, it's just theirs. Whether it's tulips, or the royal family, or Augustine・・・・・・ it's all theirs. It's that I'm too obsessed, well, I'm too obsessed. ”
"Great Swordsman・・・・・・ Actually・・・・・・ I could have killed you. Clark's last voice remained: "The left and right are theirs, why should I cut off the only saint-level powerhouse of the human race for the sake of this vulgar feeling." ”
Clarke's body had disappeared to the point where there was not much left, and his head was gradually falling apart, and finally, pieces of white hair flew and the whole person disappeared.
Gently, the soles of Kao's feet finally landed on the steps!
As this step fell, Kao suddenly had a strange feeling, as if the barrier that had restricted him just now had completely disappeared.
This world is this world.
Clark disappeared in front of him, but he did not exist in this world, and he seemed to watch him disappear, disappearing into an unrelated place.
It seems to be close at hand, but it is eternal.
Bite!
With a crisp sound, two objects appeared in the air, and they landed lightly on the ground.
Kao bowed his head, bent down and picked it up in his hand.
These are two small badges.
"Three-step Sanctuary?" Kao sighed softly.
Master Clark, at the last minute, you finally saw through it. (To be continued)
