The current emperor of the Holy Visby Empire, Joseph I, made a lot of contributions to unite the various political forces in the country and reduce differences. For example, when he was young, especially before the victory of the great Restoration War, his power and status
During the period of instability, he married multiple wives.
But for some unknown reason, His Majesty the Emperor did not have many heirs. There were only three sons and two daughters who could survive to adulthood. But today, when these people fell into coma together, it shocked everyone's hearts.
Nature is unparalleled.
It was at this time that the second prince, who usually liked to have fun and did not want to disturb others, suddenly appeared and became the leader of the group of guards and asked to discuss with the emperor whether the guards should be disbanded.
Of course, because His Majesty the Emperor suddenly fell into coma, it was impossible for anyone to come out to face the Imperial Guards to solve these problems. The Prime Minister originally tried to persuade the Imperial Guards to return to the barracks, but the second prince bit him to death. By this time, the Emperor and other members of the royal family had already
He was put under house arrest by these royalist officials and ordered the praetorian guards he gathered to attack the palace.
Fortunately, at this time, the palace also got rid of the chaos caused by the coma of His Majesty the Emperor. At the same time, the defenders, under the command of Prince Eugene, successfully blocked the rebels who tried to rush into the palace with the help of the city wall defense.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Eugene, the rebels should not be able to enter the palace for a while." Watching Lawrence bandage his wounds, the senior judge who just came out to investigate the current situation of the palace said to him
Said, "But the problem now is that the rebels' elite artillery and those powerful extraordinary beings are all concentrated near the palace. I'm worried that the defense over the palace won't last long."
"Shouldn't we remain neutral in this kind of political change?" Lawrence felt a little strange about the judge's words, because now listening to his words, it seemed that he supported the emperor's opposition to the second prince's coup.
"I think you were not on the ground just now, right? Because I haven't seen you just now." After listening to Lawrence's question, the senior judge looked at his face carefully and said with certainty. "It should be."
That’s it. Otherwise you wouldn’t ask this question.”
"Yes, I was just operating on the wounded in the underground medical room." Lawrence nodded slightly and said, "But what does this have to do with the inclination of the tribunal?"
"Of course it does matter, because the group of guards outside requested to take over our archives and question our personnel. This was an absolutely prohibited behavior in the treaty signed by this intelligent race back then."
"Not to mention that we have found a lot of evidence that the senior generals of the Guards are colluding with evil forces, and now at this critical time, their request to take over our archives seems very suspicious. According to the evidence of the remaining inquisitors, now
Based on the facts, it is speculated that the second prince is probably the person behind the senior officers involved."
"I see." Lawrence nodded. After all, the second prince is now likely to be involved in some conspiracy to betray the entire human race and even civilized races, so it is very normal for the Inquisition, as the guardian of civilization, to oppose him.
The reason why the rebels wanted to attack the Inquisition was for the same reason. As an emperor, he could legally be exempted from most crimes. But it definitely did not include any crimes of betraying the civilized world and taking refuge in other evil forces. Therefore, the second prince wanted to
If you want to achieve your goal and finally secure the throne, you must take advantage of the current chaos to enter the tribunal and destroy the evidence that you have committed such crimes.
"Besides, although as a judge I really shouldn't have political leanings, as a person I always have my own personal leanings." Looking at Lawrence's thoughtful expression, the senior judge said
Pointing to a building that was burning with flames in the distance, he said, "After all, my home has been set on fire by the guards under the Second Prince. If I hadn't taken my wife and children over before. Now I'm facing
It’s very possible that the damage is not just the loss of property at home.”
After finishing speaking, the inquisitor picked up the rifle from his side and walked towards the fighting position. Lawrence began to treat the wound of the next wounded person who had just been sent.
Just as Lawrence was dealing with the fifth wounded person, Yagoda suddenly came to the first aid point holding his waist. He had some clothes randomly wrapped around his waist, but there was still a lot of blood seeping out from his waist, staining it.
The red wound is covered with a bandage.
"Sit down quickly." Lawrence quickly arranged for his friend to sit down, and then untied the tattered clothes used to block the wound. After the last circle of clothes stained purple-black by the blood from the wound was untied,
A wound that was one palm long and two fingers wide at its deepest point appeared in front of Lawrence.
"Did the enemy attack the city wall?" Lawrence asked nervously, because the wound on Yagoda's waist was obviously cut by the enemy with some kind of sharp instrument during hand-to-hand combat.
"How is that possible?" Yagoda smiled heartily, "Since the rebels killed the grassroots commanders one by one, the other side has been unable to organize a decent attack for a long time, let alone attack the city wall.
. And their extraordinary beings cannot rush in under the defense of our superior extraordinary beings without the support of the army."
"As for my wound, it was purely caused when I went out for a surprise attack just now - hiss! Can you be gentler?" Yagoda suddenly took a breath of cold air, because at this time Lawrence took out several cotton swabs soaked in alcohol.
Holding it in his hand, he inserted the cotton swab into the wound and began to scrape it hard. He felt that it was not as painful as when he was cut just now.
"It's good to know that it hurts. It means there's no poison on the opponent's knife." Lawrence joked and said, "Also, did you say that you went out unexpectedly because of some mission? Of course, if it involves confidentiality, just treat it like me.
Didn’t ask.”
"Of course this is not a secret. We are mainly going to investigate the fighting situation at the palace." Yagoda said, raising his finger and pointing in the direction of the palace in the distance. At this time, the rebel shelling seemed much more ferocious than before.
So much so that a magic barrier had to be raised in the palace to deal with these attacks that did not come from extraordinary powers.
From his current position, Lawrence could clearly hear the thunderous explosion of artillery shells coming from the direction of the palace. At the same time, he could also see the shells flying directly towards the direction of the palace with flames.
But not all of these shells hit the palace. Except for some high-level extraordinary beings in the palace who intercepted some of the shells, many of the shells that hit the vital parts of the palace were halfway through the flight when they hit those one or two meters in diameter that suddenly appeared in the air.
The blue transparent energy barrier was then detonated to form fireworks in the air.
"What a smart defensive barrier." Lawrence muttered subconsciously after seeing this. Unlike the imagined defensive barrier that looked like an upside-down half-egg shell, this magical barrier could actually accurately move only the
A small piece at the front of the cannonball is deployed to block the flying cannonball. Although this is not technically difficult, it can greatly save energy.
"Of course the magic barrier in the palace is powerful, because it is controlled by the tower spirit of the royal family's magic tower." As an extraordinary person, Yagoda has very good ears, so naturally he heard Lawrence muttered. "But the problem is if the cannonball hits the palace
If there are too many, it will definitely not be able to handle it, and at that time it will be time to fully raise the magic defense barrier."
Before he could finish his words, a hemispherical barrier like a soap bubble glowing blue was raised from the palace, enveloping the entire palace. It seems that because the rebels' firepower reached a certain intensity, the palace was forced to
Take this energy-intensive comprehensive defense to deal with it.
