"What did you say!?" The Lord of Dawn pushed the singer away from his arms and stood up suddenly.

The woman in pink silk with a looming carcass fell to the ground, obviously not lightly, but she didn't dare to let out a cry of pain.

The rest of the servants, servants, and jugglers also bowed their heads in fear, and the entire palace hall suddenly fell silent.

"Your Majesty......" The minister who reported swallowed his saliva, "Your Imperial Prime Minister has rebelled. ”

"Are you sure it's a rebellion, and not an attempt to play for the idiots out there?" Ampein didn't know for a moment whether to doubt his ears or if the clerk was too incompetent, and exaggerated the watchman's words tenfold.

It's not that he doesn't know the plans of the nobles from the outside world—but anyone who came back alive from Hermes has basically seen the destruction of the Knights of the Royal Capital, and the embarrassed appearance of him when he fled. It would be naïve to expect them to remain loyal to the royal family at this time.

It is normal for there to be abnormal movements, and it is normal for gangs to form factions, and the three major families of the royal capital are obviously their first choice. An Peiyin has long been wary of this, but he thinks that according to the temperament of the three old ministers, nine times out of ten, they will keep to themselves and keep their doors closed. After all, the king is still in his hands, and any behavior that annoys him is tantamount to self-defeat.

Unexpectedly, the first problem was actually the Quinn family.

Collusion with a foreign lord has already violated his majesty, perhaps the old earl just wants to leave a way back, or to assert his position...... But whatever the reason, there is no escaping punishment for such an offensive. It's like Otto Lossy, who didn't kill his childhood friend on the spot, which is enough restraint.

Can...... What does it mean to rebel?

Earl Quinn is in Glowing City, with neither a leader nor a soldier, relying only on the dozens of guards around him? Don't laugh at the big teeth, why did he rebel?

"Lord Earl, he did contact the nobles from other places, no, but he did not receive them privately, but sent out invitations!" The minister wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "He openly invited all the nobles to the mansion and persuaded them to surrender to the Quinn family!"

Ampein was dumbfounded, barely able to comprehend what he had heard.

This move can indeed be linked to rebellion, but the way is too unbelievable!

Instead of getting help from out-of-town nobles, they are making them loyal to Quinn - does Hoford really know what he's doing?

He has already become a dangerous ship that may capsize at any time, how could any nobles agree to this proposal! This is undoubtedly a two-sided enemy, and the Moan royal family will never tolerate such a serious provocation, and the stupidity of not seeing the situation clearly will only make those nobles sneer.

But then again, was the former prime minister such an arrogant person before?

After a long silence, Ampein spoke, "Pass my order and let the commander of the patrol, Sir Buckaf, lead the team to the Earl's Court to arrest Hofford Quinn and come to me." The rest of the people in the palace were put in prison for the time being, and if anyone stood in the way, they could be killed on the spot! I would like to see what else he could explain about this. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Troubled by this news, he lost the mood to have fun, and after driving everyone in the hall away, An Payin couldn't help but slump on the throne.

He didn't just want to have fun, but once the surroundings quieted down, the roar of heavenly fire would constantly echo in his ears.

The war of more than a month ago left an indelible impression on him.

Wrong...... It was not a war, but a one-sided massacre.

His army was simply powerless to fight back.

Whether knights or serfs, it makes no difference when facing the attack of the Grey Keep.

Upon returning to the royal capital, Ampein found that he no longer had the courage to confront Roland - the frustration caused by the fiasco was even heavier than his father's death.

Even more desperate, he knew that the Moya family had lost the entire Dawn Kingdom. What happens to offending a neighbor with great power? There is no doubt that sooner or later the other party will annex the territory he inherited from his father, and he will be helpless!

When he ascended the throne, he was full of ambition, and he wanted to govern the kingdom well, so that the people could live a stable life, and no longer have to worry about the threat of witches, evil beasts, and other alien species. As a result, after only one year on the throne, he was already dead-hearted, and had no interest in politics and commerce, and only waited for the enemy's army to overwhelm the border, and then hanged him on the city wall.

As soon as he thought of this, Ampein's hatred for the King of the Grey Keep grew stronger and stronger, and he longed to eat his flesh raw!

If it weren't for Roland Wimbledon, he would have gone down in history and become a generation of great men!

It's all the other party's fault - the new king of Greycastle has been bewitched by witches!

He slapped the armrest hard, and the fire in his heart could be said to have nowhere to vent.

When the Earl of Quinn is arrested, he must be given a good taste, what is the wrath of a king!

By the afternoon, however, his newly appointed minister had run into the palace in a panic.

"Your Majesty, Sir Bakaf is dead! Patrol...... The whole army is annihilated!"

"W-what!?" the Lord of Dawn grabbed the other man's collar in shock, "Did they plant a trap around the mansion?"

"Yes, the guards are hidden," replied the vizier hurriedly, "I saw it with my own eyes!" Bakaf first asked the Earl to come out, and when he refused, he went straight into the house and arrested him, but was soon killed by his guards. Not only that, but they burst out of the courtyard and tore themselves into the patrol that surrounded the mansion - the men were insane men with all kinds of weapons, boning knives, sticks, and even blue-brick and stone...... In less than half an hour, the team was scattered!"

"How many of them are there?"

"Probably...... Seven or eight. ”

"Bastard!" Anpein shook the other party to the ground, "Seven or eight people can be called Tibet? Even a merchant in Glow City can put together a dozen guards, are you scared stupid! And how did the patrol of one or two hundred people be broken up by seven or eight guards? Even if it was two hundred wild boars, they would not be defeated so quickly—are they not even as good as pigs in the hunting grounds!"

"Your Majesty, those people ...... It's not a human, it's a monster," the minister said with a sad face, "Most of the patrol can't even stop their moves, it shouldn't be the strength and speed that people have!"

Ampein's heart shuddered.

It seems that such a description has been seen somewhere.

Yes, he remembered that his father's killers, the two church witches who claimed to be pure, had shown him the horrific force of the Divine Punishment Army.

Don't...... Did Earl Quinn collude with the Church?

An uncontrollable anger suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart!

"Riesus!" shouted Ampein.

Outside the main hall, a knight soon walked in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Gather all the mercenaries in Glowlight City at once, bring heavy crossbows and rockets, and burn Earl Quinn's palace to the ground!" he yelled, "Whether they are humans or monsters, I want them all to turn to ashes!"

"But...... It's the inner city," the knight hesitated, "and if there is a fire, it will be difficult to contain." ”

"Shut up and do as I say!" Ampein roared hysterically, "if you can't burn him, you don't have to come back to me!"

Even the Divine Punishment Army could not have the slightest chance of winning in the face of a hundred times its own troops with heavy crossbows. Those who collude with the church have only one way to die!

......

The next day, the Lord of Dawn received another message from the Watchers that the mercenary group, which had been preparing all night, had not yet reached the Earl's Court.

While passing through the Rising Sun Avenue, the mercenary team was flanked by an acrobatic troupe.

He was sure that he had not misheard the minister's report.

A group of acrobatic troupe performers performing in the streets suddenly attack the mercenaries in action, who are caught off guard and suffer heavy losses. And the way those actors fight is exactly the same as that of Earl Quinn's "guards".

Only this time, instead of the variety of weapons in their hands, they were replaced by short swords, hammers, and wooden shields used by the patrols.
