In the palace, the eldest prince raised his head again, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he couldn't accept such humiliation, the noise of the courtiers was no different from ridicule in his ears, and more importantly, the third prince would definitely die when he ascended the throne in the future, so it was better to let go of his hands and feet and fight to the death.

"Uncle Earnest, General Estes, Earl Midgard, I need your help, and in return, I have promised the three of them the establishment of a principality after becoming emperor."

The eldest prince said to the nearest three.

"Your Highness, I have always supported you." Earnest smiled, he didn't look down on the principality, only the entire empire counted.

"The principality doesn't have to, hand over the strongest opponent to me." Estes said casually, if he can fight with the great general Bude, then it is nothing to support the great prince.

"Your commitment is my direction." Jiang Yuan didn't trust the other party, so damn it, let's die.

"All it takes is one chance."

The eldest prince glanced at the third prince coldly, he would definitely not be restrained.

……

April 30, 1021 in the Imperial Calendar.

The turning point of the empire's real demise began.

Under the leadership of the Marquis of Chahatu, the southwestern aliens raised an army to attack the empire, and this marquis took up the name of supporting the great prince to ascend the throne, relying on his familiarity with the geography of the empire and many covert supports, and conquered the southwestern fortress county in only three days.

Slaughtered the city of fourteen, hundreds of thousands of dead, and blood flowed thousands of miles.

The emperor was furious and did not leave the palace for seven days.

The 2nd and 3rd Legions of the Central Army moved south to quell the rebellion, with the main generals being Estes and Najeshitan respectively, and the two combined armies advanced all the way.

On 12 May, the Combined Legion engaged the enemy in the Southwest Plain, and the First Battle was established, and the alien rebels were defeated and retreated back to the border.

On May 17, the Combined Legion invaded enemy territory, and the Second Army continued to burn and kill along the way, and the main general Estes caused the huge ice to fall from the sky, collapsing the capital of the foreign people in the southwest, slaughtering twenty-seven cities in succession, killing all the royal clans, and the rest of them collapsed into the jungle.

On 21 May, the commander of the Third Army, Najehitan, rebelled for some reason and attempted to join the Southern Rebellion, but Estes pursued him alone, and the two sides fought, Najehitan was defeated and fled, his lieutenant Emperor Gu was killed, and the Third Army was annexed.

On May 28, the emperor ordered the three princes to become crown princes, and the combined army expressed dissent, and Estes led his troops to break through the three princes' dukedoms, razing his wife's clan, and the five county towns began to take the initiative to provide grain and grass, recruiting more than 30,000 soldiers.

On June 5th, the Imperial General Bud was ordered by the Emperor to lead the First Army to the south, and the two most elite troops of the Empire fought each other, fighting fiercely for several days, with many dead, and the Great General Bude and Estes fought each other, regardless of victory or defeat.

On June 8, His Majesty died of illness, and the three princes changed the edict, violating the will of the first emperor, and led the troops to quell the rebellion.

The Fifth and Sixth Legions and the Eighth Legion fought on the outskirts of the imperial capital, the black wind surged, the heavenly fire fell, and three hours later, the more than 20,000 elites of the Eighth Legion were wiped out.

The secret garrison and assassination forces of the imperial capital ascended to the city to resist, and the leader Gozqi betrayed the empire, and the two special forces were defeated.

The imperial capital fell.

……

On the south side of the imperial capital, the city wall dozens of meters high collapsed, tens of thousands of soldiers attacked the city, quickly occupied the key streets, Jiang Yuan and the eldest prince rode in the front, behind thousands of elite horsemen.

"In my opinion, the Earl may become the third general of the Empire, and the safety of the Imperial Capital will depend on you." The eldest prince said with a smile, he was in a good mood at this time, the general Bude went south to quell the rebellion, and no one could stop him at this time.

"Thanks to His Highness's command." Jiang Yuan was not very interested in the pie drawn by the eldest prince.

"I will enter the palace, and the Count remembers to clear the obstacles."

"The minister knows."

The eldest prince went to the palace with thousands of cavalry, and Jiang Yuan summoned Le Su and handed the other party a note.

There were nearly a hundred names on it, led by the Imperial Treasurer and a duke, followed by several court counts.

"Kill them all."

Whether it is the old salt group or the enemies provoked when controlling the Fifth Legion, you can take this opportunity to clean up, and it will be more troublesome to find opportunities in the future, especially the financial officer, the other party has deep roots in the empire, and the best way is to destroy it physically.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured."

Since the lord did not mention it, after the man was killed, the gold, silver and jewelry were distributed according to the custom, the lord fifty percent, he twenty percent, and the rest were rewarded to his subordinates.

The war is spreading in the imperial capital, because the eldest prince has regarded the imperial throne as something in his pocket, and he is quite restrained after breaking the city, after all, no one wants to take over a mess.

Jiang Yuan acted alone, crossing more than a dozen streets and reaching the edge of the outer city, which was not an important location for the army to capture.

A strong bearded man with a strong body had been waiting for a long time, his muscles bulged hideously, his bare feet were full of green muscles, his eyes were fierce and fierce, and his face was full of impatience at this moment:

"Midgard, give me a reason why you know where to hide, otherwise I'm welcome, Estes's face is not good, and besides, I will truthfully report the matter of passing the letter to the right minister."

"Zhu Tian, do you know what this is?" Jiang Yuan bent his fingers, and a white silkworm crawled slowly on it.

"Something to say."

"Then I'll be relieved."

Jiang Yuan took out the long knife on his waist, and the insect puppet appeared, and countless black beetles flew out of the space inside the knife of the deceased's march, using more than 20,000 corpses as nutrients, and the number of beetles multiplied to a terrifying point.

It was like a black tornado rising from the ground, and the dense and noisy squeaking sound made people uncomfortable, and the tornado disappeared everywhere it passed, whether it was the building or the ground.

"Don't die too quickly, Zhu Tian."

"How dare you make trouble!?"

The black beetles in the sky turned into countless long swords and fell like a torrential rain, Zhu Tian swung his fist at the sky, his physical strength was the best in the Imperial Fist Temple, although it was slightly bulky, but the power of the secret technique Hundred Split Fist was quite good, and a string of sonic booms sounded.

The black long sword only left a few scars on Zhu Tian's body, but Jiang Yuan had already stopped, and Zhu Tian was about to mock, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his heart, and then the blood couldn't stop flowing from his mouth, and with a bang, his heavy body fell to the ground.

The black beetle will enter the body along the wound and eat the heart, Jiang Yuan didn't need to explain this to the other party, he stepped forward to finish it completely, and added a temporary puppet to the march of the dead.

The white silkworm crawled into Zhu Tian's head, and the phantom sound silkworm, as a first-class dangerous species, could reproduce the sound of the target.

And with Chelsea's continuous exploration, Jiang Yuan has locked the hiding place of the future little emperor, and on the night of the overturning of the imperial capital, as long as he can plant a seed of suspicion in the other party's heart, then the goal will be achieved.
