Although the threat was gone, Count Fat Pig's expression was not at all relaxed, and in the end nothing could be figured out what was going on, and if this was what the so-called Salvation Army wanted, then there was no doubt that they succeeded.
On the bright side, at least there wasn't much loss on this side, except for Igor's severed hand, and five minor nobles were beheaded. By the way, almost all the guards in the entire palace will be killed.
...... Is that a good thing? Count Fat Pig was a little confused.
"Save ...... Save me....... β
Kicking away Igor's outstretched hand with his foot, Count Fat Pig was a little impressed by the tenacity of this old man's vitality, worthy of being able to lead the post of general with a half-dead old life.
With a wave of his hand, he asked the army that poured into the main hall to take care of the leader of the King's faction, who had lost too much blood and didn't know when he would die, and Count Fat Pig didn't have time to deal with this old thing that would only cause trouble.
The officer who had taken over the defense of the palace came over with a black face and made a report on the current situation of Count Fat Pig.
"There were 10 places that were attacked, including the gates, and a total of 3,500 soldiers were killed or wounded, and the civilian population has not yet had time to count them, but it is expected that the casualties will be lower than those of the army. The locations of the ten raid points were scattered throughout the royal capital, with important facilities and completely unimportant places...... In short, the purpose of the other side cannot be seen from the point of attack. β
What are the smoke bombs to conceal their true purpose, or are they all false accusations? There is so little information at hand that it is impossible to find out where to start even if you want to analyze it.
There is no way, I can only use a bit of stupid methods, check and search little by little.
"Have you ever checked the magic trap reaction?"
The officer nodded.
"Lord Simon, the chief court magician, has already checked and found no trace of magic. β
No trace of magic was found, so it would be fine to use only the usual search methods.
Just as Count Fat Pig breathed a sigh of relief, the officer answered.
"My men met the Duke of Osoreyama at the East Gate, and it seems that the Duke has also been attacked by the gangsters. β
Count Fat Pig dared to guarantee that if it weren't for the recent increase in his ability to bear, he would have cried the moment he heard the officer's words. It's not that I'm worried about Einstein's injury or anything like that, after all, it's a monster far beyond human imagination, and Count Fat Pig believes that even if the entire king is destroyed, Einstein will be intact.
He was worried that Einstein would be angry because he was provoked by an attack on the royal capital, which was very, very bad news for the country and for himself.
If the attack on the royal capital is only a follow-up to this recent series of bad things, once Einstein's criticism is added, it can undoubtedly easily push up the danger of these bad things several times. Especially for Count Fat Pig, who worked under Einstein, it was even more disastrous, and he didn't even have to use his brain to imagine what kind of reproach he would receive.
Just when Count Fat Pig thought this was the worst-case scenario, the officer continued.
"The Duke also told you to make sure to visit the Castle of Mount Osore in the evening, and it is said that the castle of Mount Fear was also attacked. β
This time, Count Fat Pig was crying without tears. Judging from what he saw with his own eyes, if it was only possible for Einstein to be attacked, the attack on the castle would be 100% angry, after all, there was Einstein's favorite owner, Miss Lucia.
Seriously, this time Count Fat Pig really didn't know what to do. Dissuade Einstein? Count Fat Pig asked himself if he had that ability.
As if on purpose, the officer waited until the Count of Fat Pig was almost in distress before he continued.
"The Duke also asked me to tell you to bring a copy of all the information related to the attackers to Mount Osore, and she will personally deal with these gangsters who offend Mount Fear. β
Hearing this, Count Fat Pig was stunned. Since the attacker was only seen as an enemy, can it be understood that Einstein was not angry with himself or Heberis because of this?
There was no better news than this, and although the Earl of Fat Pig did not cry with joy, it was not much worse.
The officer, who had no idea what he had done, was very considerate about the Fat Pig Count, who was not quite right at first glance.
"Is there any problem? β
Count Fat Pig patted the considerate officer on the shoulder, and spoke to him earnestly.
"I'm fine, but if you can finish it in one breath next time, I'll be better. β
When the officer had left, Count Fat Pig turned around and looked at the nobles who remained in the main hall of the meeting, and said in a deep voice.
"I think you've all understood after today's events that the nobles, the commoners, and the whole of Heberis are in danger of being identified. β
No one objected, because the nobles, although they were reluctant to admit it, were indeed very dangerous for them today, especially after they knew that the entire palace guards had been slaughtered by Dandrian alone, and they were no longer as confident as before. The aristocrats are arrogant, but that doesn't mean they're stupid enough to tell the difference between face and life is more important.
"I respect the royal family of Heberis, and I will never forget that it was the royal family that brought us the prosperity we have today, and I think you feel the same way as I am. β
The nobles didn't know what Count Fat Pig wanted to say, but in view of Count Fat Pig's increasing fame and status in recent times, both the king faction and the aristocratic faction could only choose to listen quietly to the speech of this mere count with the new faction.
"It is because of our love for our country and our loyalty to the royal family that we will do whatever it takes to protect the country until the next king ascends to the throne. β
It makes a lot of sense, but no one would be naΓ―ve enough to think that Count Fat Pig just wanted to show loyalty in front of everyone else.
Sure enough, Count Fat Pig quickly added a 'but'.
"You can't protect a country by moving your lips alone, and a country that is scattered can't resist an external threat. β
Perhaps sensing something, a few nobles looked surprised.
Count Fat Pig ignored the expressions of these people, and the foreshadowing was done, and then it was time to see the poor dagger.
"Therefore, I propose here that we, the nobles who are concerned about the country and the people, form a provisional government to govern the country on behalf of the royal family until the next king is officially crowned. (To be continued.) )
