Time quickly came to four days later, when Linton's enthronement ceremony came.
It was similar to the enthronement ceremony held in Yalan before. Because of the previous hosting experience, the preparations for this ceremony were much smoother. In just a few days, all aspects had been prepared.
Just like Linton's previous order, all countries and forces across the continent were invited by the Holy Empire of Elan to attend the ceremony, asking them to send people to come. Of course, most countries and forces also sent people.
Basically all the nobles in the empire were asked to return to the imperial capital to report on their duties, including of course the commanders of various legions. This included Esdeath, the commander of the third legion who was encircling and suppressing the rebels, and the commander of the seventh legion stationed around the imperial capital.
Gasan.
Also, the three commanders of the 4th, 5th, and 6th legions who had been ordered to stay in place were now all asked to return to the imperial capital to report on their duties and to be loyal to their new emperor.
During the previous rebellion, Linton did not order them to return to the imperial capital, which made them relieved at the time. However, what they did not expect was that Linton would directly usurp the throne and now officially proclaim himself emperor. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, they have to come back.
, otherwise we can only rebel on the spot.
Among them, the commanders of the fifth and sixth legions had no idea. After all, they had originally planned to show their loyalty to the imperial capital, and they had no intention of starting any rebellion. And Linton's becoming emperor was completely irrelevant to them.
What was expected was that they even felt that Linton was more suitable to be the emperor.
But the commander of the Fourth Army, Jory Bottom, is in a panic now. Yes, this Jory Bottom is actually the back-up man that the rebels have been waiting for.
According to the rebels' plan, a total of 200,000 troops from the First and Second Legions were pressed against the territory. The Imperial Capital would obviously send troops to deal with it immediately. As their back-up, the Fourth Legion would definitely be deployed to counter the rebellion. Whether it was
Whether they are sent to the north to suppress the rebellion, or whether they are stationed in the imperial capital, the Fourth Army can play a key role.
If they go to counter the rebellion, they can switch sides at the critical moment and directly defeat the counter-rebellion troops. When the three legions join forces to attack the imperial capital, great things can be accomplished. If they are allowed to defend the imperial capital, then let them directly attack the imperial capital at the critical moment.
To attack the city, this plan sounds absolutely perfect.
Jory Bottom was indeed convinced. On the one hand, he was indeed one of the generals promoted by the old emperor Wigley. The old emperor still had a favor for him. After learning that the leader of the other party was actually the eldest prince Damian,
When he did, he was naturally shaken.
On the other hand, even if he was thinking about himself, he felt that the success rate of the other party's plan was very high. Because after the new emperor came to the throne, Bottom's life was not easy. He really couldn't feel that the new emperor paid any attention to him.
In the previous wars, their Fourth Army had no share at all and had always just stayed at the station to guard the home.
Even the new woman named Esdeath could get a chance to attack the orcs. Butem felt that if his army went there, this woman would have nothing to do. Why didn't the new emperor give him this opportunity?
Now that this woman has become the commander of the Third Army, she is on an equal footing with him, which of course makes Bartem resentful. Think about the kind of promotion and regard that the old emperor Wigley had for him before, and then look at this new
The emperor ignored himself, so he naturally made his own choice.
However, the development of the situation was beyond his expectation. Not only did the Fourth Army not join the crusade, they did not even have the chance to go back to defend the Imperial Capital. From the beginning to the end, the Imperial Capital's order to him was to stay where he was.
Without receiving the transfer order, Bottom did not dare to act rashly. The incident with the First and Second Army Corps happened not long ago. If he moved casually, he would be directly exposed. Of course, he also knew that the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps were also stationed in place.
The commanders of the two legions are not one of his own. If he makes a move and the empire asks the two legions to surround him, he cannot fight one against two.
Bottom decided to wait for the opportunity. Anyway, the First and Second Legions were rebelling over there, so they had to deal with it. In his opinion, the opportunity would definitely come. However, everyone knew what happened next.
When I heard that the Third Army had directly defeated the rebels in one battle, Bartem was confused. This was a lie. How could such a thing happen? However, you have to believe it if you don’t believe it. It’s a fact. Bartem soon
After verifying the authenticity of the news,...he was immediately confused.
His rebellion ended before it even started, and Bartem fell into panic. Under the current situation, it was naturally impossible for him to jump out and rebel again. Not to mention whether he was willing, the people below him certainly were not willing either.
He did what he did. But if he doesn't jump out and do what he does, how can he get away with it? Although he and the people who contacted him are very secretive, and no one should notice it, he can't guarantee that the Imperial Capital won't know about it.
ah.
He actually suspected that the people in the imperial capital probably knew something, otherwise they wouldn't have ordered their legions to stay where they were. However, he was never caught, which made him feel a little relieved, and he didn't know.
Even though he got through it, the Imperial Capital is still investigating, at least it hasn't been exposed yet.
Then he received a notice that Linton had usurped the throne and wanted to ascend the throne, and asked all the legion commanders to go back and report their duties and swear allegiance to the new emperor.
When he received the announcement, he wondered if the Imperial Capital was trying to trick him into going back again. He was the commander of the army here. Although he could not guarantee 100% control over the army, he felt that the Imperial Capital would not dare to directly attack his military camp.
But after leaving the military camp, he was just an ordinary nobleman. Isn't this an arrest plan for him? Will he be arrested on the spot as soon as he returns?
But the other party's reasons were too good. If the new emperor ascends the throne, you can't go back and show loyalty to the new emperor. What do you mean? What's the difference between it and direct rebellion? He didn't know how to refuse this reason at all. He could only go back or stay on the spot.
Two options for rebellion.
Bartem struggled for a day, and finally prepared to salute and go back directly. Although he knew that he might be ruined if he went back this time, and if he rebelled in this situation, more people would die. Although he was a rebel, he
Those people under him are all his old subordinates, and he doesn't want to drag them to die with him.
While Bottom was scared here, another group of people was also planning something.
Yes, the recent series of events in the Holy Empire of Elan have made some surrounding countries start to take action.
As I said before, no one wants to see a powerful neighbor eyeing them. When the human race was still divided into three parts, this contradiction was not so obvious. After all, the three human empires fought hard against each other.
The surrounding countries benefited from this and lived a very good life.
But since the unification of the human empire, life has become increasingly difficult. Not only do we have to be wary of a powerful enemy at all times, but the diplomatic and resource benefits that the three empires previously brought to each other's attacks are of course gone now.
.
Looking at the increasingly powerful new human empire, the surrounding countries have long been eyeing it. When the new empire was first established, they wanted to do something. At that time, they also found Ignis, the strongest "Dragon Man" in the mainland,
They wanted to suppress the new saint-level Linton who had just emerged at that time. Unexpectedly, Ignis was directly killed by Linton, causing their plan to go bankrupt on the spot, and the matter had to be abandoned.
But they have been waiting for the opportunity. Their purpose is to contain and weaken the empire. It is best to restore the state of the previous three empires. For them, that is the best. At this point, they have already achieved
consensus.
However, from the establishment of the empire to the present, the development of the empire can be said to be smooth sailing. Although they have done a lot of dirty tricks secretly, it has not hindered the overall process at all. This makes them even more anxious, and they have been wondering how to contain it.
The development of a new empire.
It wasn't until this rebellion that they suddenly saw an opportunity.
Yes, the sudden rebellion of the First and Second Legions is a major event that shakes up the new empire. They were prepared to make a big fuss out of it from the beginning, and it would be best if the empire split directly.
Of course, they didn't help the rebels from the beginning, because the rebels were so powerful at the time, and it seemed like they could really destroy the empire. And they didn't want the rebels to win at all. If the rebels won all at once,
Aren't they still facing the same empire? They just changed the leader, which is not what they want.
What they wanted was for the empire to remain in chaos for a long time. So they decided to wait and see how the situation turned out. If the empire was frustrated, they would immediately send people to ask them if they needed any help, supplies, troops, etc.
Yes. If the rebels are frustrated, they will of course send people to fight. Even if they let you fight, it would be the best if the fight doesn't produce any results.
However, what they didn't expect was that the rebellion ended overnight. After a battle, the rebels were dispersed. This was really unexpected by everyone. They prepared many packages, but none of them were used.
superior.
Fortunately, although this rebellion could not keep the new empire in a state of chaos for a long time, it should have seriously damaged the vitality of the empire. On the surface, two legions were lost, the first legion and the second legion.
All legions are gone now, and several other legions seem to have some problems.
In short, this is the moment when the empire is weak, and they want to know the specific situation. At this time, news of Linton usurping the throne suddenly came, and they were asked to watch the ceremony. They came here at this time to explore the reality of the empire.
The task came.
