MTL - Age of Mysticism-Chapter 388 new emperor
Chapter 388 Xindi
The room fell silent.
Luke looked at the two women with a complicated relationship and didn't say anything. After all, this is a family matter of the Augustine family, and it is up to the two of them to decide how to handle it.
The pendulum clock in the corner of the room was ticking, giving Agatha not much time to think.
"As I said, I'm not interested in the throne! The only one who is capable of stabilizing the court and the empire after tonight is probably only you, the Queen. After all, the emperor himself once told the cabinet that during his training period, the state affairs will be controlled by the government." You are solely responsible. It's just that..." Agatha looked at Luke and said, "I hope you can convince Qing Kong that I can decide the... end of my father."
"Yes!" Luke replied very simply, he stood up and said: "The most important thing now is to enter the palace as soon as possible to quell this coup."
"The Imperial Secret Service is ready."
"Set off!"
Luke, Agatha, and Queen Christina walked out of the gate together, and the imperial agents outside lined up and waited for orders.
Christina held the sword of power and, as the queen of the empire, ordered the eldest princess Agatha and the governor of Raging City, Meteor, to quell the rebellion initiated by the eldest prince Fania and rescue the emperor Augustine who was trapped in the palace.
Queen Christina's sudden appearance greatly boosted the morale of the imperial spies, and the official order made the counter-insurgency operations famous.
At the same time, Meteor, the governor of Raging Waves City, publicly stood beside the eldest princess this time, smashing all the recent rumors to pieces. Meteor is "loyal" to the Eldest Princess, and has not defected to the Eldest Prince.
How to attack and attack the palace, a plan has already been drawn up and distributed to the commanders at all levels of the imperial spies. The order to attack was issued by Princess Agatha, and the spies immediately dispersed, and the battle broke out near the Rose Manor in a short time.
Another large number of magic flares were launched from the manor, and spies lurking in other parts of the city also took action. The originally quiet city was instantly filled with the sound of various explosions.
Colorful magic is shining in the night sky, and the snow is getting bigger and bigger.
Luke led the beautiful girl boiling team, and Agatha led the ace agents "Ravens" of the Secret Service to protect Queen Christina and march towards the palace.
The sudden outbreak of battle startled the eldest prince Fania, who had just entered the palace. He had already put on the emperor's uniform that had been ordered a long time ago, surrounded by ministers and nobles who supported him.
Seeing the magic beams concentrated near the Rose Manor, he knew that Agatha finally couldn't help but do it.
A messenger from the City Guard Corps hurried over: "Report to the First Prince..."
The close ministers around Fania reprimanded: "Call Your Majesty!"
"Report to Your Majesty!" The messenger immediately changed his words: "The task of intercepting that woman failed. The Governor of Raging Waves City, Meteorite, personally escorted her to break through our layers of obstacles, and escorted that woman into the imperial capital!"
Fania finally knew where Agatha had the confidence to launch an attack.
He didn't expect that the disappearing Meteor actually went to Snow City to personally **** Queen Christina back.
Now the situation is clear, who is loyal, who is traitor, and who is a fool, you can see clearly.
"Meteor, you will pay the price for deceiving me." Fania ordered: "At all costs, stop the rebels from attacking the palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fania looked at the officials and nobles behind her, and said confidently: "I will know who is loyal to me in the end! Today I am enthroned as the god-given emperor of the empire, and you will all be reused by me. Take the empire to new heights."
The ministers and nobles shouted together: "Your Majesty, please sit on the throne and bear the weight of the crown!"
In the front, the door of the palace's deliberation hall was pushed open, and the servants, maids, and bands of the palace were forced by the soldiers to line up on both sides with supplies for the enthronement celebration.
The other end facing the gate is the supreme throne.
The band played the sacred and solemn "To the Great Emperor", the servants spread the golden carpet, and the maids scattered gold leaf into the air. Fania stepped onto the red carpet and looked at the throne, walking step by step with the fanaticism of fulfilling her wish.
The butler excitedly came to the side of the throne first. He held a tray with both hands, which contained the crown, law code and scepter.
The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor begins.
Most of the royal knights and court guards were confined to their quarters by soldiers of the city garrison.
They were all very confused, whether they should be loyal to the old emperor who had never shown up, or wait for the new emperor to complete the enthronement ceremony and go to swear allegiance.
Knight Millscomb led nearly a hundred royal knights and court guards outside the emperor's bedroom.
He is dressed in richly decorated armor and stands with two hands leaning on a sword. He saw the brilliant magic signal in the sky outside, and heard the bursts of explosions. He knew that Fania had begun the enthronement ceremony to usurp the throne at this time, and Agatha was trying her best to stop it, but he couldn't do anything.
He had already conveyed the news of the coup to Emperor Augustine, but there was no news from the bedroom.
"I don't know what happened to Her Highness the Queen?"
Millscomb Knight couldn't help but think of Queen Christina's appearance. Since the news of the victory in the Snow City Battle reached the imperial capital, there has been no information about her. He knew that Fania would never let the queen go, but he couldn't do anything for her.
There was a thought that kept appearing in his mind, which was to put aside all responsibilities and honors and go to Snow City to protect the Queen.
But the Millscombe Knight finally chose to fulfill his oath.
Knight Millscombe closed his eyes, swept away all distracting thoughts, and was no longer affected by any external and inner influences.
It was as quiet as a statue.
Beside him, the royal knights and palace guards stood side by side motionless, protecting the emperor's bedroom behind him.
Oulu College St. Lun City Branch.
Qingkong stood on the highest and most pointed roof of the museum, looking towards the direction of the palace.
Fania's defense against Rose Manor is the top priority, and it is also the place where the fighting is most intensive. Fighting elsewhere in the city was sporadic, with no sign of approaching the palace.
The strength of the Bureau of Secret Intelligence is the Yin people. They are not opponents of the regular army in this kind of regular offensive and defensive warfare. Moreover, Fania mobilized many elite soldiers from the Northern Territory Legion into the City Guard Corps, all of whom were veterans with rich combat experience.
It is difficult to attack the palace in time only with the strength of the Bureau of Secrets.
At this moment, Jenny's figure appeared behind Qingkong: "Miss Qingkong, the secret technique you designed has been arranged."
The sheriff jumped up, and it turned into a black panther in a flash, facing the falling snow and roaring at the moon.
"I feel the power given to me by the World Tree through the moon. Tonight will be the night of killing. I... the mount of the great Moonlight Queen will accompany Her Majesty the Queen and smash this city to pieces!"
Qingkong ignored the sheriff who suddenly committed the second-year illness, and asked Jennifer: "Have the students been settled?"
"They are all settled, and the professors of the college and your moonlight knights will protect them." Jenferne said again: "Princess Daier asked me to tell: I hope you are all safe."
"We'll all be safe!"
Qingkong looked up at the moon in the night sky.
The dark clouds covering the sky cannot cover its moonlight. It is like a high hanging lamp, illuminating the city with silver light.
Now that you're ready, let's get started.
A beam of light shone on Qingkong's body from top to bottom, as if she had been covered with a gauze.
"Secret Words: Monsters Run Away in Dirty and Muddy Waters"
The moment the occult words were recited in the clear sky, the manhole covers of the sewers in the entire city were violently washed away by the rising sewage. Then the ground along the sewers cracked, and the sludge surged up as if it had life.
The rats in the sewer ran out in panic, and the gray dust spread along the road.
The sludge that came out gathered into small balls, and then gathered into a big mud ball. The gray dust light was absorbed by the big mud ball, and then grew limbs to become a slime.
In a short period of time, the streets of Shenglun City were occupied by countless mud monsters. They wander around in a daze, beating things on the street with their limp arms.
"Rule 1: Do not attack anyone in the room."
As the releaser of the secret technique, Qingkong whispered the rules, and her voice rang in the ears of every ooze regardless of the distance. Those mud monsters that wandered towards the house immediately stopped and turned to other places.
"Rule Two: Do not attack an injured person."
"Rule Three: Do not attack a downed person."
Clear Sky doesn’t want this secret technique to cause too many casualties to Shenglun City. These mud monsters only need to contain the strength of the city’s garrison army so that the imperial spies can attack the palace.
Mud monsters cannot understand overly complicated instructions. These three rules are enough for people who are attacked by mud monsters to have a high chance of saving their lives.
After issuing the three rules, Clear Sky jumped off the roof. Hei Panther, who had already gathered his strength to wait, jumped up at the same time, and firmly connected Qing Kong to his back. The black panther let out a roar, ran and jumped between houses and buildings, and rushed towards the palace.
The appearance of the mud monsters broke the stalemate in the battle in the city. When the soldiers of the city garrison were attacked by the mud monsters behind them, the imperial spies quickly attacked and formed multiple breakthroughs.
The battle extends to the palace.
A large number of mud monsters also appeared in the palace, and after causing a commotion, they were quickly culled and wiped out.
At this time, Fania finished reading his enthronement oath and sat on the throne. The court priest put the crown on him, put the code of law in his right hand, and the scepter in his left hand.
The ministers and nobles met with the new god-given emperor and swore allegiance.
There are still a lot of procedures to follow, but the news that the battle is spreading to the palace made Fania suspend the tedious rituals that followed.
He asked the officials and nobles to wait in the hall, and led the army to the emperor's bedroom.
As long as the old emperor is gone, everyone will have to recognize themselves as the new emperor.
The emperor's bedroom, the royal knights and court guards standing here make this place look extremely solemn.
Suddenly, a large number of sergeants rushed out from all sides, surrounding them layer by layer.
Knight Millscomb opened his eyes, looked at the soldiers who were several times larger than himself, and said, "His Royal Highness Fania, do you have to bear the charge of regicide and patricide?"
Fania came out under the protection of a group of soldiers wearing bear armor. He looked at Milcombe proudly, and said with a cold smile, "Uncle Milcombe, if Father is still alive, he will allow me to Get his throne in this way?
Father Huang has passed away.
Whatever your reason for withholding this sad news, I can forgive you if you step aside. You are still my respected royal chief knight, my swordsmanship teacher. "
Farnia wore a crown and was dressed in the attire of an imperial emperor, making Knight Milcombe frown.
"You are making a big mistake, Fania! His Majesty did not die, he just had to recuperate due to physical reasons.
Take off the attire that doesn't belong to you, and wait for His Majesty's ruling, that's what you should do. "
Fania laughed and said: "If the father is not dead, you should get out of the way. If I am guilty, he will also come to pronounce the sentence.
Millscomb, this is the final warning.
Be loyal to me, so you can live. "
"I am loyal to the only emperor of the empire, but you are not!"
Seeing Milcombe’s stubbornness, Fania decided against recruiting him. He took a step back and ordered: “Whoever kills Milcombe will be crowned Royal Chief Knight! Attack!”
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Soldiers of the city guard corps rushed towards Millscombe leading the royal knights and palace guards.
Millscomb held a sword in a fighting stance, and the burst of momentum caused the airflow to form a whirlwind around him, layers of buff states were released, and colorful glare lights shone on the armor.
"Knights, the time has come to be loyal to His Majesty! Long live the great Emperor of the Empire!"
"Long live the Great Imperial Emperor!"
The brilliance of magic illuminated the armor, and the knights and guards defending the emperor's palace let out the loudest cry.
The two armies collided, and the battle revolved around the emperor's palace.
No matter how brutal the killing outside was, there was still no sign of the door of the bedroom opening.
Outside the palace, the orderly line of defense of the city garrison was thrown into chaos after being attacked by the mud monsters. The soldiers didn't know what it was at all, so they could only fight passively.
But the imperial spies were told in advance how to deal with such a monster that everyone would attack.
You can be ignored by them if you enter the house or lie down, and you can ignore them if you have blood on your body.
With this kind of troublesome thing, all the spies of the empire blossomed, and the battle became more and more chaotic.
The City Guard Corps was at a loss for such a battle, and deployed troops everywhere to save the field.
When Fania led troops to besiege the emperor's bedroom, the guards in the palace were very empty.
A secret door opened from under a statue in the palace garden, and several figures came out from inside. They quickly eliminated the surrounding guards, and then set up a cordon.
After confirming safety, Luke, Agatha and Queen Christina came out of the tunnel.
Christina looked at the corpses on the ground, and at the same time heard the sound of fighting coming from the direction of the emperor's bedroom.
"There are no royal knights and palace guards here. They should not have sworn allegiance to Fania. The strongest force in Fania should be dealing with the Millscombe Knights. We need to persuade some of the royal knights and palace guards to help us."
Luke looked at the sky, reached out to catch a few snowflakes, and said, "Then hurry up!"
