The palace gate was not far from the place where the ceremony was held. Although the five thousand city guards were still some distance away from the square, the movement had already alarmed the people in the square.
Richard was still on the stage just now, halfway through a bunch of oaths that might be punished by heaven, but now he had to stop and look in the direction of the palace gate.
"Don't panic!"
The Golden Palace Knights who noticed the unusual movement quickly surrounded the platform where Ren was standing. Fifty knight-level players and several Grand Knight-level Golden Palace Knight captains surrounded Renn in the middle of the high platform.
Richard also pulled out the Vulcan Sword loudly and protected Ren behind him.
Regardless of whether this protection is sincere or false, showing loyalty to the emperor is considered one of the basic operations at this time. Moreover, even if it is not to protect the king, it is still to protect the father-in-law.
Of course, anyone who thinks that Richard's behavior is that of a loyal minister must have been deceived by lard.
Richard took a position quickly, which was based on his own judgment. Through preliminary contact, Richard could at least judge a little bit.
This Majesty Ren should be an old bastard. This is the same kind of aura.
At this moment, facing the army that suddenly invaded the palace, no matter how calm the superiors are, if they encounter such an uncontrollable situation, they will be a little panicked.
But even at close range, Richard didn't see any panic in Ren's eyes, and he even felt like he was in control.
"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang..." The nobles below are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Although the literary style of the kingdom is now flourishing, the status of these knights and warriors is still higher than that of civil servants.
Since the time of Aragon, the Golden Dragon Kingdom has not strictly controlled the weapons in the palace. In addition to carrying crossbows and other things, the nobles and officials
Generally, weapons are carried casually. This not only shows the emphasis on armaments and the admiration of martial spirit, but also Aragorn's absolute trust in his own strength.
Anyway, Aragorn himself was the first master of the human race at the time. The sword masters of the orcs who were capable of slaying dragons were all killed by Aragorn.
For ordinary people, let alone a knight's sword, even if they brought a few crossbows, they would hardly pose any threat to Aragorn at that time. There was no need to worry about assassination at all.
Although the later kings did not have the strength of Aragorn, they generally had the strength of a great knight and would not be able to resist in the face of assassination.
Even if I am a little worried about my own safety, with Aragorn setting an example, I would not dare to strengthen weapons management for the following generations of kings. Wouldn't that make me look cowardly?
So at this time, almost all the nobles on the field have guys who can really fight.
Together with three or five attendants, they formed a simple formation, and they seemed to be loyal to Ren.
"Why should you be loyal to a treacherous villain like Ren!"
His Highness Ninth Prince, who had been watching the ceremony in the queue, suddenly stood out from the crowd. Xi, who was wearing a white robe with gold edges, had already donned an exquisite chainmail at some point, holding a long sword tightly in his hand.
The weapons in the hands of several attendants around him also obviously exceeded the standards of etiquette. This intention could not be more obvious.
After Shih Charman spoke out
Everyone in the square was shocked. Normally speaking like this, people would probably be gone.
But the situation at this time was obviously that His Highness Xi had the upper hand. He somehow mobilized an army into the palace city. There seemed to be no usable force around Renn except for the Knights of the Golden Palace.
Although the Knights of the Golden Palace are elite, their number is limited after all. The movement outside the palace gate is at least thousands of people.
The surrounding nobles are very realistic, and no one dares to stand up and show their support for Renne at this moment.
After hesitation, the nobles present decided to wait and see what would happen.
This has a lot to do with the fact that the leader of this palace upheaval is also named Charman.
If this palace upheaval was just something caused by a certain noble family or a certain leading general who was out of his mind, they would probably fight to the end for Ren.
But this is obviously a family matter of the Charman family. The Charman family does not have any orderly inheritance method.
Aragon formulated a rather cruel selection system for throne succession for the royal family.
As long as a prince of knight rank or above wants to sit in this position, he can fight for it and do whatever he wants without touching the bottom line.
In every battle for the throne, several members of the Charlemagne family must be sacrificed.
After experiencing several battles for the throne, these high-ranking nobles have learned well and will not intervene in the battles of the Charman family unless they have to.
Most of the people who are willing to act as pawns in the fight for the throne are middle- and lower-class nobles who want to give it a try, or who are manipulated by a certain prince.
This is also the difference between the semi-feudal and semi-feudal Golden Dragon Kingdom and some of the unified dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty.
The big nobles are qualified to sit on the fence. They have their own territory and soldiers. As long as they don't take sides, no matter who wins, they will not and dare not go to liquidation.
If it were placed in the ancient Celestial Dynasty, daring to sit on the wall would be a crime of sitting back and watching success or failure, and would be cut in half.
No matter who wins, the centrists will have nothing to gain and can be considered as forcing people to take sides.
Watching the nobles retreat, only dozens of Golden Palace knights were left around Ren, as well as Zebul and two vanguard knights led by Richard to guard him.
"Ren, the debt you owe to your eldest brother is due to be repaid today!"
Xi's voice actually trembled slightly, with an indescribable sense of pleasure.
"Ninth brother, after hearing you call me sixth brother for so many years, and your majesty for a few more years, I'm really not used to you suddenly calling me by my name."
"Stop talking nonsense! Today I will make you pay with blood!"
"I know that Ninth Brother, you have the best relationship with your eldest brother. He has always been the only brother in your eyes, not our other brothers.
However, my eldest brother broke the rules and was ordered to be killed by my father. What does that have to do with me?"
"You think I don't know? How did the eldest brother get in touch with the Dragon Knight of Zhenguo at that time, and who was instigating the eldest brother behind his back."
Everyone present pricked up their ears. This was the royal family member of the Charmain family. Even Richard was aroused.
"Okay, you said it was me who instigated the big brother, and you said I was the one operating from the middle. Where is the evidence?"
Ren was obviously confident in asking this question. If he could find out the truth about this matter, the old king should have killed Ren first.
With the old king's control over the kingdom and the Black Prison in hand, he didn't realize that this matter had much to do with Ren.
Now that Ren is the king himself and has an intelligence organization like Black Prison, what kind of evidence can Xizhen still find?
"snort"
Xi was obviously choked by these words and simply stopped talking about the topic.
The city guards were getting closer and closer, but Ren didn't look panicked at all.
"Ren, what I hate most is that you always look calm and don't seem to care about anything.
Are you still waiting for your First Flag Regiment? Do you think I don’t know they entered Miyagi City? The leader of the Flag Regiment is also one of mine, and the First Flag Regiment will not come."
There was pride and joy in Xi's words. He stared at Ren's face carefully, trying to find a trace of panic on his face.
It's a pity that he was disappointed,
Instead, Ren said boldly:
"That's it?"
"You think I don't know there is a problem with the First Flag Regiment. If he is not one of your people, how can I go back and mobilize the First Flag Regiment?
How could you take the bait?"
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Ren's face, which had always remained calm.
But Richard in front breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn, I thought I mistakenly identified the pretender as an old pervert. If I don't give him some confidence, Richard will have to think about how to run away...
