On the city wall, several generals who watched the movement of the enemy army in front of them frowned.

"Commander Tharis, they don't seem to be coming this way. Demos said, "Look, they're moving west." ”

"West. Tharis muttered, "Is it the city defense army in the Yinhuang military camp?"

At this time, the adjutant of the personal guard who had gone to contact the city defense army came back: "Commander, just now the Prime Minister Prince personally sent an order to let all the city defense troops go out of the city to face the battle. ”

"Oh!" Taris turned his head and said, "General Vane, didn't there still be some of the Silver Glory Army outside the city last night?"

Van said, "I have already brought all the soldiers from outside the city into the city in the morning. ”

Tharis pondered for a moment and said, "Since they don't attack the city, we have to send troops out." Fortunately, while they still have too many troops, we will work with the city defense army to eliminate these people. General Demos and Vann, go down and gather your troops. ”

Demos glanced at Vane.

Fan said: "Commander, I don't think it's good to gather troops to go out of the city to fight now." ”

"Huh?" said Taris in surprise, "Didn't you just ask me if I wanted to go out of the city to fight? ”

Van said: "I did think so before, but now I see the enemy troops outside the city, and I have doubts in my heart. There were no heavy troops in the enemy army at hand, and there were very few siege equipment, so how could such an army capture the royal capital? Governor Monica and Admiral Motoso were both war-hardened men, and they would not have been unaware that these light cavalry were not enough to storm the royal capital, and I suspect that they had deliberately lured us out of the city to fight, and set some trap. ”

"That's right. Demos echoed: "We will now lead our troops out, in case the enemy sends heavy troops from the other direction to storm the royal capital, if we can't return to the city, we will fall into a very passive situation, and even the royal capital will fall, then it will be bad." What's more, the Prime Minister's transfer of us to the royal city is obviously a good time, and the prince directly issued an order to fight the city defense garrison, but did not issue a combat order to us, which means that our task is to hold the royal capital without losing, so it is better for us to stay here. ”

Tharis thought for a moment and nodded, "You're right, we really can't go out of the city to fight. He thought to himself: "I almost forgot about this, the prince transferred the Yinhuang army to the royal capital mainly to target the guards, and the city defense garrison outside is to contain the enemy's attack, and buy time for us to hide a few armies in the provinces to surround them." ”

Prime Minister's Residence.

Zalberg asked, "Panotta, what's going on outside the city?"

Panotta came in from the door with an information briefing and said: "The city defense army has already left the camp to fight, and the two defenders we have arranged in the provinces around the royal capital are rushing to the battlefield, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour to an hour and a half to engage the enemy. ”

"Good. ”

"In addition, the troops we have moved to the south have also moved, and they will raid Shili in the area where Monica, Merlot, and Mutoso are located, cutting off their communication links with their own territory and completely cutting off their back routes. ”

Zalberg asked, "What about Tharis?"

Panotta said: "The Yinhuang army led by Taris remained in the royal capital and did not go out of the city to fight. ”

"Hmm. Zalberg said: "Compared to the war outside, the guards in the royal capital are more of a trouble, and a strong army must be used to suppress them and maintain stability in the city." However, it was not necessary to deal with a guard with all the strength of the Yinhuang army, and a force was sent out of the city to deal with Disman, lest too many people from his city defense army die. ”

"Yes, I'll go down and give the order. ”...,

"No, let Denzel give the order, you stay. Zalberg asked again, "Qiu Lin, how is Radat doing there?"

Qiu Lin said: "Prince, our Black Feather Battalion has firmly controlled the king's every move, no matter what the king wants to do, or what the guards do, the Black Feather Battalion can fully grasp it, and he will definitely not be able to escape from our palms." ”

At this time, Trossa led two people into the room: "Prince, the people in the city are now in a panic and confusion, and there are all kinds of worries and discussions. However, I have ordered me and the people of Panotta to spread public opinion in the city, and Monica's Southern Union Army is going to attack the royal capital and seize power. ”

Panotta said: "These people who are accustomed to the peaceful life in the royal capital are afraid of war, and the battle of the Dark Marquis left a deep shadow on them back then, and now whoever attacks the royal capital is their enemy." Soon these words will spread throughout the country, and when this war is over, you will surely be embraced, and the throne of King's Landing will be just around the corner. ”

......

In the streets and alleys, people in the city are talking about it.

"Hey, is there really a war, I just went to the city gate, and it's all under martial law?"

"Of course there was a war, didn't the whole city blow the alarm horn just now? ”

A middle-aged woman hugged the child and said in horror: "It's really terrible, how could there be another war in the royal capital? ”

"Even if there is a war here, the king is not safe, God bless the people outside will not slaughter the city, God bless, God bless......" A man wearing glasses and looking like a civilian man clasped his hands to his chest, chattering as if pleading.

"Oh!" an old lady next to her was visibly frightened: "You said something terrible. Slaughter the city! Will they do it? Do you think they will really do it?"

A middle-aged man wearing armor and looking like a retired soldier came out of the house and said: "This is perhaps, I heard that in the war, some cities are too fierce because of the resistance, and if the attacker is too damaged, they will slaughter the city after breaking through the city. ”

"Wouldn't slaughter the city, the royal capital here, it's St. Bikkai, they won't do such cruel things. ”

"Who knows?"

"Why are you even wearing your armor?" asked the middle-aged woman.

The retired soldier touched some of the old armor on his body: "I feel safe when I put it on." ”

Another person said: "By the way, who is attacking us now? ”

"This ...... I don't know, but I've heard that it seems to be the army of the South. The woman holding the child said.

The man with glasses said, "I know, it is the army from the south, and it is Monica, the governor of Quek Province, who has led troops to attack the royal capital. ”

Someone next to me asked, "How do you know?"

The bespectacled man said: "I work in the government, you don't know, there were some rumors in our house that the Governor of Monica had a rebellion and used various means to secretly control the forces of Quake and the surrounding provinces. Originally, I thought that rumors were just rumors, but I didn't expect the war to break out so suddenly. ”

A middle-aged man said: "Hey, you are too simple, the rumors circulating within the government are not only rumors, those powerful people are fighting for power and profit too much, there must be a reason for these words." ”

"yes. The man in glasses sighed and prayed nervously.

On the other side, Smith Merlin, hearing the commotion outside, came out of the house, saw Gordon hurrying over, and asked, "What happened, why is the street so noisy?"

Gordon said: "Leader, the southern army led by Monica is attacking the royal capital, and it seems that there is an operation on the Zalberg side." ”...,

"Monica, isn't that Archduke Monica, the governor of Querk?" Merlin wondered, "Why did he suddenly attack the royal capital?

Gordon said: "I don't know exactly what happened, but this large-scale attack on the royal capital city must be aimed at Zalberg. I have just sent someone to the Prime Minister's official residence to inquire, and I heard that the twin brothers returned to the royal capital last night. ”

Merlin thought for a moment and said, "It seems that our disturbance Jihua was unsuccessful, Monica's heart is on the king's side, and this time Zalberg is in trouble." ”

"Throne, what should I do?"

Mei Lin said: "I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a look, inquire about the situation, and you will report the situation here to the throne immediately." ”

“haode。 ”

"Peniel, let's go. Merlin pulled Peniel by the way, and the two of them left immediately.

Meanwhile, in the palace, Radat was pacing anxiously in his room, waiting for the situation outside. At this time, there was a shouting voice outside: "Zhanzhu, you can't go in, this is the place where Bixia stays." ”

"I came here to see him on the orders of Bixia. ”

"That's not going to work, give me zhanzhu!"

Radat heard this, walked out of the door, and saw that Halls was stopped by two guards from the Black Feather Battalion at the bottom of the stairs a few meters in front of the palace, he hurriedly walked over and shouted: "What are you doing? Lord Halls was summoned by me, and you dare to stop it?!"

The feather guards of the Black Feather Battalion stepped aside and did not speak.

Halls stepped forward and said, "Bixia, what's the matter with summoning me so urgently?"

Radat said: "I do have something to do, Brad is dead, you go out with me." ”

Halls was surprised, "Bixia is leaving the palace?"

"Yes, don't talk nonsense, come with me. Radat was about to leave with the guards and Halls, but the feathered guards of the Black Feather Battalion stopped in front again, and Radat said angrily, "What are you doing?"

The feather guard of the Black Feather Battalion said: "Bixia, there is a war outside the city now, and it will be dangerous for you to leave the palace now. ”

Radat said: "I know if it's dangerous or not, don't worry about you, get out of the way!"

The two feather guards of the Black Feather Battalion stood in front of them without moving: "I'm sorry Bixia, our duty is to protect you, and stopping you is also for your safety. ”

Radat's face darkened: "You are so bold that you dare to stand in my way." Guards!"

The men of the two groups of guards in front of the hall immediately stepped forward with swords on their shoulders.
