At dawn, more than a dozen vigorous horses came galloping towards the gate of the imperial capital. The knights on the horses were all dressed in Guards uniforms, and each of them had a high military rank. These people entered the city gate, and there were several people who had been waiting at the guard station all night.
The senior generals of the military department were notified, and they quickly walked out of the resting room and rushed to the city gate passage to listen to the report of the visitor. Later, the generals took one of the knights with the highest military rank to the military headquarters and went to wait for them.
Reports from the royal family there.
"Is he one of our own?" The first thing the Crown Prince said when he opened his eyes after waiting all night at the military headquarters was, "Is Lieutenant General Glenns dead?"
"Yes, Your Highness, we can now preliminarily determine that they are our own people." The general led the officer who came back to report and said, "This is the officer who went to investigate. He brought back some reports."
"Say it!" The prince was anxious, but he still managed to maintain his dignity.
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, after we arrived, we immediately launched a meticulous investigation and found that this army is indeed our own army, Lieutenant General Glens's army." The tired officer finished his conclusion and adjusted himself.
Thoughts: "The official was sent to inspect the wounded and found that the wounded were all Chinese soldiers. Their moans, curses while being treated, shouts when they fainted, and their words in the coma were all in their hometown dialect.
The tone of voice is full of Welsh dialect."
"How are the other people's investigations going?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and then asked.
"The investigation by other officers also went very smoothly. We inspected logistics, ordnance, medical, and combat readiness, and found no abnormal phenomena. In addition, we also met some soldiers from the same hometown, and even soldiers from the imperial capital.
They were also entrusted to bring some letters and cash to their families." At this point, the officer remembered an important thing, "The chief has followed the order of the military department and confirmed the death of Lieutenant General Glenns.
Question, this is the sir’s report.”
"Is that so?" His Royal Highness took the report and asked while reading it, "How is the combat effectiveness of the troops?"
"Although most of the soldiers look tired and still bear the sorrow of the general's death for the country, their will to fight is still tenacious." The officer replied cautiously, "This is a troop capable of fighting."
"In this case, everyone should prepare to welcome this army into the city! Report to the emperor quickly." After reading the report, the prince breathed a sigh of relief and said to the generals of the military department: "You must make good arrangements and not make any mistakes.
Error."
The next morning, the troops returning from the front line arrived outside the Imperial City and temporarily stationed three miles away from the city wall. After going through some complicated procedures with the military and the royal family, a formal entry ceremony was held at noon.
When Sibia's army has appeared all over the country and the imperial capital has been effectively surrounded, it is very necessary to hold such a ceremony of reinforcements entering the city. On the one hand, it can show to all walks of life in the imperial capital that it is not alone, and on the other hand, it can
The death of Lieutenant General Glens was used to boost the morale of the defenders. The Lieutenant General was indeed dead, but the royal family and the military believed that after a series of appropriate publicity, his death could make people in the imperial capital and even the entire empire
People hate the Sibia Empire with all their heart.
Although time was short, the imperial capital was still well prepared. A red carpet was laid from the square in front of the palace to the city gate. Flags were fluttering on both sides of the road. Ten-step guards wearing mighty uniforms lined up neatly.
Under the banner, all the distinguished nobles lined up in front of the Palace Square to watch the ceremony. All the residents of the imperial capital, old and young, poured onto the streets and rooftops, looking forward to the return of the heroic troops under the noon sun.
Regarding Lieutenant General Glens, the current publicity only says that "after the victory of the war, he was seriously injured by the Sbia assassin." The extremely smart royal family has arranged everything in advance and is preparing to stage a show for the entire imperial capital.
Good show - they arranged a luxury carriage as a means of transport for the Lieutenant General in the team entering the city, and hid the coffin of Lieutenant General Glenns inside. They then found a stand-in and asked him to pretend to be the seriously injured Glenn when the troops entered the city.
Si, at the moment when he was about to get off the carriage, the double's "injury suddenly worsened", and then the crown prince "rushed to get on". The dying lieutenant general showed his loyalty for the last time, and the crown prince hugged the lieutenant general and cried...
All this will be heard by everyone through sound transmission magic. The people placed in the crowd of onlookers are responsible for inciting emotions and must make the crowd excited. The entire imperial capital shouts the slogan "Kill all the Sibia dog thieves".
By the way, the ministry will also send people carrying boxes to the streets to collect donations. The poor empire has had no donations from the public for three consecutive battles.
As for the troops entering the city, those who were seriously injured were not allowed to appear in the ceremony, so they were all arranged to get on the carriages. Individual seriously injured people and the logistics system had already entered the imperial capital through other city gates. Waiting for these "groups" outside the city gate
After the preparations for the "appearance" troops were completed, especially after putting on brand-new military uniforms and armor, continuous bells rang over the imperial capital, the closed city gates gradually opened, and the ceremony began!
Amidst the loud sound of the bugle, hundreds of leading cavalrymen stepped into the city gate first. These cavalrymen were all elite forward troops from the "Youshui Legion".
The people near the gate cheered loudly, and colorful ribbons and flower petals flew all over the sky.
Followed by several regiments of vanguard, assault infantry, pikemen, heavy infantry, and light infantry marching on foot, which dazzled the people on both sides of the street and roared until their throats were hoarse. Especially at the famous "Youshui Army Flag" and Glens.
After the Lieutenant General's carriage arrived, the scene was even more grand.
This "Lieutenant General Glens" was very conscientious. He waved his hands slowly and difficultly out of the car window. He had magical makeup skills, and his behavior was so lifelike that he did not arouse anyone's suspicion. Countless people were in tears.
With tears in my eyes, I saluted the military flag and saluted "Lieutenant General Glens" who looked extremely tired and pale... I almost shouted long live.
Small square teams passed by one after another, and at the end of the team was a continuous stream of baggage carriages. The carriages were not easy to control, so the gaps between the marches were relatively large and the speed was slower. In addition, there were "three or two" incidents.
"It was a small accident", so that all the troops in front arrived at the square in front of the palace, and behind them there was a long line of carriages waiting to enter the city gate.
However, this did not seem to affect the progress of the entire ceremony. The sound transmission magic performed by dozens of magicians had taken effect. Everyone in the imperial capital heard the voice coming from the square in front of the palace. It was the master of ceremonies announcing: "Zhan Wu
The defeated Lieutenant General Glens led his army back to the imperial capital - Lieutenant General Glens, please get out of the car and see His Majesty the Emperor!"
At this moment, the people around the Palace Square held their breath, preparing to witness Lieutenant General Glenns again, while the people in other places were listening attentively, because for them now, Lieutenant General Glenns was the only one who could
The hero who saved them, the hero's kind voice surpassed the sound of nature.
After a moment, there was no movement, and the master of ceremonies called again, "Lieutenant General Glens, please get out of the car and see His Majesty the Emperor!"
It was somewhat suspicious that the protagonist did not get off the carriage on such a formal occasion. People from all over the imperial capital talked among themselves, until another gentle voice sounded, the voice of His Majesty the Emperor, "Prince, Lieutenant Colonel Glens
You will be injured and have difficulty moving, please go and help me."
After hearing His Majesty the Emperor say this, the people suddenly realized, and many people sighed in their hearts: His Majesty the Emperor is really a kind and kind elder!
The prince accepted the order and stepped forward to help "Lieutenant General Glens". More than 100,000 people around the square saw the prince walking to the car door with a smile, a look of concern on his face and reaching out to help the lieutenant general, but the pair of hands represented infinite care.
He Renai's hand reached halfway but suddenly stopped. His Royal Highness's originally smiling face was replaced by a look of infinite horror - because His Highness suddenly discovered that the person sitting in the carriage waiting for his support was the real one.
Lieutenant General Glenns, although his eyes and demeanor are different from what I remember, he is indeed Lieutenant General Glenns!
Looking at His Royal Highness quietly, Lieutenant General Glens's eyes were not sharp, but as a general who had experienced life and death, the Lieutenant General already had a majesty that made His Highness suffocate. Under the gaze of more than 100,000 pairs of eyes
Then, the lieutenant general sighed softly, and a long sword emitting purple light slowly stretched out from the car door. The tip of the sword gently rested on the shoulder of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince's feet softened and he couldn't help but
Kneel down.
Just when everyone was astonished, there was a "crash" and the carriage broke open. A dozen people were wrapped in the fragments of the carriage and flew out, closely guarding the carriage.
"Rebellion and rebellion!"
As soon as this word popped into everyone's head, orders were heard from the team entering the city. The Youshui Army in the square in front of the palace immediately turned against them and surrounded the royal family and nobles in the square. In contrast, the people who were personally protecting the royal family
The Guards were inferior in numbers, and even less in quality.
On the street, the Guards responsible for maintaining order were still wearing gorgeous uniforms. How could they fight against the Youshui Army with complete armaments? Fortunately, these Youshui Army who suddenly rebelled were not in a hurry to kill people. They rushed in quickly and seized various places.
They completed the control from the main city gate to the Palace Square. The only bloodshed occurred at the main city gate. The Youshui Army swarmed out of the carriage and had a "small friction" with the defenders.
Take firm control.
"The Square troops are on standby!" Lieutenant General Glens, who was still sitting on the carriage, gave the order. "Anyone who dares to act rashly will be shot to death!"
"Follow your orders!" Nearly ten thousand people responded in a roar, pointing their sharp swords directly at the surrounded royal family and nobles. The hundreds of guards around the emperor were being aimed at by hundreds of hand crossbows, and their hearts were already cold.
This change came so suddenly. By the time the guards elsewhere got the news, the Youshui Army had already completed complete control of the palace square. The emperor, prince, prince, and ministers were all under its control. The generals who held the command
No one dares to make a move. Even if someone among them has the idea that "I can take advantage of this opportunity to ascend to the throne from power," they must first weigh their own weight.
But the people who were most shocked by this incident were the nearly one million people in the imperial capital. They could not believe that the hero in their hearts would kidnap the royal family and lead an army to rebel in front of everyone. If this was really the case, even if it was not possible
Lieutenant General Rensi was once a hero, but the people of the imperial capital could not forgive him, and the people of the empire could not tolerate him - especially in the current situation surrounded by foreign enemies, the rebellion was even less likely to be forgiven and sympathized with.
The people of Wales are generally upright, passionate, and extremely passionate about justice and fairness. There were many people who rebelled in the imperial capital in the past, but most of them died at the hands of the angry people. But in the hearts of the people, Glenn
Lieutenant General Sri Lanka, a hero, had no reason to do this, so they were waiting, waiting for the statements of both parties, and waiting for the moment when the truth would come to light.
After the initial panic passed, His Majesty the Emperor, who was protected by a wall of guards, calmed down. He knew that the current situation was quite critical, but no one on either side dared to take action first. Although the power struggle was dark and despicable, it was still
With nearly a million people watching on the spot, everyone still has to "present facts and reason."
However, since Lieutenant General Glens dares to take this step, it means that he has cards in his hand. As the weaker party, Emperor Wells must find out what cards the opponent has. No matter what, he must first get through this disaster.
Besides, even if Lieutenant General Glens has some cards in his hand, the worst he can do is pass the responsibility on to others...
"Lieutenant General Glenns, what are you kidding about?" His Majesty the Emperor calmed down his emotions and spoke. He used a sentence that did not seek merit, but sought no faults to stabilize his image as a kind and kind elder, and tried his best to make the people's hearts turn towards him, "Love
It is well known to everyone that your troops are brave, so why don't you show me the live drill?"
The sound transmission magic sent the emperor's words to everyone's ears, and everyone was waiting for Lieutenant General Glens' answer.
"Does His Majesty the Emperor think that I am practicing the troops?" Lieutenant General Glens replied calmly, pushing the prince in front of him, and walked forward under the protection of the guards, "His Majesty the Emperor saw me again, and again
When you see the Youshui Army led by me, do you feel like acupuncture in your heart?"
"How could it be? Aiqing is a great hero and a pillar of the empire. I am undoubtedly filled with joy when I see Aiqing." The emperor smiled slightly, "From what Aiqing said, it seems that she has some misunderstanding about me.
?Don’t worry, my dear, no matter what grievances you have, you can speak out and I will definitely make the decision for you.”
In the midst of a forest of guns and knives, Lieutenant General Glens escorted the prince closer and closer. The conversation with the emperor was also going on gently, but no one around him dared to be careless. Everyone knew the situation at hand. A careless move could lead to a bloodbath.
The ending of the Imperial Capital - But when I think about it, apart from this ending, there seems to be no other way to end it, right?
"Yes, the general set up this trap, but not without reason. Thank you Your Majesty for giving me the opportunity to accuse the general in front of the people of the city." About fifty steps away from the emperor, Lieutenant General Glenns stopped.
Footsteps, "Does His Majesty the Emperor want to hear it?"
"Of course, if you have any grievances, please tell me!" The emperor assessed the situation and felt that with tens of thousands of Guards in hand, everything would not be lost, but he had to delay the situation so that the Guards could have time to make arrangements.
"I, Glens, come from a military family. My family members have served the empire and the royal family for generations. They have fought on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives to serve the people without hesitation. They have succeeded me one after another. My family has never done anything to disgrace the empire. No matter who talks about it, I have to do it."
Praise for your loyalty and bravery!" Lieutenant General Glens handed the limp prince into the custody of his subordinates, and said fiercely with his sword, "Although I, Glens, lost the first battle, my desire to serve the country has never diminished, so I formed the Youshui Legion.
, together with the soldiers under my command, we resisted foreign enemies, slept in the open air, and endured hardships. Did I, Glens, and my Youshui Army do anything to disgrace the empire?"
"No!" From the square to the city gate, countless soldiers responded with tears in their eyes and hoarse and tragic voices, shocking and confusing the people.
"So today, why did I, Glens, risk the reputation of being rebellious and fight against the royal family? That's because, if I don't do this, many people will die." At this point, Glens said,
Jiang laughed sadly a few times and said, "Who can avoid death? But the way of death makes a big difference."
"My dear, you are thinking too much. Both the empire and I are reasonable!" The emperor responded: "Let's discuss the matter as it is. I will never let a treacherous villain go. My dear, you must not be suspicious of me!"
"In this case, please take a look at this person." Lieutenant General Glens waved his hand, and two soldiers brought a person from the carriage. The lieutenant general grabbed the person's hair, "Do you all know this person?
The youngest son of Prince Opie. On the eve of the war, this man came with dozens of assassins to assassinate him, but was captured alive by the general. This is strange, he should have been in the imperial capital prison, how did he get out?"
"Lieutenant General Glens! You must also know that the prince's son has many gangs, so it is not impossible to rescue him from prison!" A minister next to the emperor replied loudly, "The prince and the lieutenant general had a grudge, and the assassination should be
How can a lieutenant general anger the empire with his personal behavior? Put down your weapons quickly and don’t make a mistake!"
"Personal behavior?" Lieutenant General Glenns took out an order, "Then how do you explain this order? Why don't you have someone read it, where is the master of ceremonies?"
An officer of the Youshui Army grabbed the master of ceremonies and dragged him in front of Lieutenant General Glens. The shocked master of ceremonies took the order and stammered out the order. The people of the entire imperial capital clearly heard the order signed by several ministers in power.
An order was signed to arrest the entire family of Lieutenant General Glens for treason. As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, the entire imperial capital was already in an uproar.
"My dear, I'm really wronged. I didn't even know about this matter. Don't worry, my dear, I will definitely investigate this matter severely." The emperor is an emperor after all. After shirking responsibility, he used a concerned tone to attack Glenn's army.
, "I wonder where Aiqing's family is now? Are they safe?"
No matter how Lieutenant General Glenns answers, there will be flaws. The emperor can ask, how did you know about this?
Now that you know, why don't you come to me? Do you have other plans? Wait... When the people hear this, they will feel that Glens has long wanted to rebel, or at least his motives are not pure, and he is a dirty villain. The people of the empire have always been brave,
The folk customs are extremely fierce, and with the support of nearly a million people, the Youshui Legion is just a piece of cake.
"Your Majesty the Emperor has a good question. From ancient times to the present, famous generals with large armies have often been jealous and framed. This general understands this. Frankly speaking, I have been mentally prepared for this for a long time. I always have carriages and horses at home, and I tell my family to behave themselves.
...except myself, I will not let any family members hold important positions." Lieutenant General Glenns smiled bitterly, "This general often thinks that if he is the only one who is framed, then he escapes; if it is his family who is framed, then I
The general escaped with his family. If someone tries this trick, they are bound to fail."
"The general has said it." Someone next to the emperor replied loudly, "As a minister, it is natural to put the empire first in everything. If the general dares to lead the army to coerce the royal family over such a trivial matter, I am afraid the people of the empire will not agree!
"
"Your Excellency is right. To intimidate the royal family for such a trivial matter will of course be looked down upon by everyone!" Lieutenant General Glens replied resolutely, "Now, I will give you some rare remarks and keep them for safekeeping.
Everyone was very happy after listening to it!”
With a wave of his hand, an officer stepped forward, took out a magic crystal ball from the wooden box he was holding, and unlocked the restriction...
After a burst of noise, a clear, optimistic, and contagious voice sounded in the sky above the imperial capital.
"Glens, who was born into a military family, was punished by the empire for deserting before battle. However, he used his scheming to gather a group of ruffians who committed the same crime and formed the so-called Youshui Army, thereby threatening the empire and the
The royal family deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates. Through a series of insidious actions, they stole most of the command power of the northern defense zone. The empire has been secretly investigating him and his army. Now we have definite evidence to prove that they
It is directly related to this series of wars! Although it was his personal behavior, we still failed to investigate."
"So, if we want to end the war now, we have to punish this person. As far as I know, the Sibia army is at war with this person. Our two empires can work together to achieve the purpose of punishing this person and threatening him.
The Wells Empire is willing to provide all the conveniences within its power in order to achieve the goal of eliminating this bandit. As for how to do this, we can arrange the details separately. In other aspects, the Wells Empire also wants to compensate everyone. Everyone present
Have a share!"
"What's the specific amount? It's three million gold coins in cash. Everyone knows that the harvest of the Wells Empire in the past two years has not been very good. This amount is already the limit of cash. But on the other hand, we will do more
Considering, that is to compensate with slaves, the number is about 600,000. Don’t worry about our country’s ability to pay. Although we do not have a large number of idle slaves in the country, the source of slaves is very wide. Among other things, it is within the empire.
There are hundreds of thousands of those war madmen whose eyes light up when they hear about the war and who wish they could even donate their underwear. We have all recorded them, and they were the first batch of slaves escorted to Sbia!"
"In addition to the war compensation to the Sibia Empire, we will also allocate a batch of funds as subsidies to the injured Sibia soldiers, and the Sibia soldiers who participated in the battle will also have it. On the other hand, if Sibia
If Bia Jun feels the need to personally punish the Youshui Army, we will provide convenience. For every Youshui Army soldier you capture, we will reward you with a gold coin; for every Youshui Army soldier you kill, we will reward you with five silver coins.
.These prisoners do not need to be returned, they are directly regarded as slaves in the war compensation, two prisoners are deducted from one slave... By the way, the families of these Youshui Army are also part of the slaves..."
At this moment, the residents of the Imperial City, just like the "wounded soldiers" at that time, were all stunned and could not believe that this was true. However, the residents of the Imperial City were very familiar with this tone of voice... even the guards who protected the emperor.
Among them, many people looked at the pale royal family members with contempt.
The imperial capital with millions of people was completely silent at this moment, and no one spoke anymore.
"As I just said." After a long silence, Lieutenant General Glens said in a low voice: "If you want to kill one of me, I will escape; if you want to kill my family, I will escape with my family;
Even if you want to kill the most elite troops in the empire, I will lead my troops to escape...but now, you are forcing me to escape. If I escape, countless people in the empire will die!"
"So, Glens is back!" Tears fell, and the long sword in the lieutenant general's hand was gradually raised, "I, Glens, no longer have an emperor to be loyal to, and the Youshui Army no longer has an emperor to loyal to. Now we...
I will serve the people of Wales!"
When Lieutenant General Glens said this, the angry people of the imperial capital had already taken action. The first to be unlucky were the people collecting donations in the streets and alleys... (To be continued)
