Chapter 937: The Stinger of Discord

The next few days changed more quickly than anyone expected.

The people of the royal capital never imagined that they would see such a scene: the Quinn family, who had served the Moan royal family for hundreds of years, openly stood in opposition to Ampein Moya.

It wasn't a plot hatched in the dark, and there was no clan rivalry that civilians couldn't reach, it was all on the table - the Imperial Prime Minister of Radiant City stood directly in front of everyone, publicly proclaiming his ideals and goals, which in simple terms were to overthrow the rule of the incompetent tyrant and restore a bright future to the dawn.

In his speech, the Count gave examples of the city's decline over a year and the foolish tyranny of the new king, and described with precise data the inevitable decline of Dawn. Since no nobleman had ever told the people how the realm worked, and the speaker was the former prime minister who had been with the king for more than a decade, it was no surprise that the act caused a sensation. From the Chamber of Commerce auction hall to the Black Street Tavern, there is hardly anyone who does not talk about it.

"I said how hundreds of people starved to death in the slums last winter because of the reduction of farmland in the outer cities. ”

"Actually, there are more deaths out there. Your Majesty has no problem taking the land to expand the palace, but what if the Earl's food stock is gradually decreasing?"

"It's no wonder that food prices have been a lot higher lately. ”

"I heard that the peasants in the towns on the outskirts had been forcibly conscripted to fight. Now it is good, the army is in shambles, and few of the people who have been requisitioned will return. ”

"Isn't that the price of food going up?"

"Well, let's hope the Evil Moon doesn't starve us this year. ”

"What, you want to support Earl Quinn? He promised that if he could achieve his goal, Glow City would no longer have to worry about food, and everyone would be able to fill their stomachs in the future. ”

"Hey, I didn't say that!"

The Prime Minister's speech quickly spread throughout Glowlight City through such discussions.

If a significant portion of the population is skeptical of the propaganda, it is the conflict itself that attracts them to the matter in a sustained manner.

The great aristocratic family and the Moya royal family are in a-for-tat confrontation, how many times can you see such a grand occasion in your life?

For the public, they can only hear aristocratic rumors or boasts from the tavern that have been revised and exaggerated many times, and the feeling in the past few days is simply too exciting.

This is not a drama, but a real rebellion!

His Majesty was not indifferent, and several head-on battles broke out between the two sides, but all ended in the defeat of the royal family. Earl Quinn possessed more power than everyone could have imagined, and an impossibly powerful guard became his solid shield - not only in the case of a huge difference in numbers, his majesty's army was crushed, but his own number became more and more, from the initial dozen to the current forty or fifty.

Even more exciting, the Count unabashedly unveiled his plan: he would move his front five hundred paces a day towards the castle district until the Lord of Dawn abdicated the throne, surrendered the crown, or was ousted from the throne by him.

In other words, in a maximum of five days or so, the confrontation will be decided.

......

"Boom!"

Ampein smashed everything she could on her desk against the carpet until the delicate room was a mess. Even so, it couldn't ease the anger in his heart.

"Damn, damn it! When have I ever cut down the farmland in the outer city? Isn't that what my father told him to investigate? and how dare he blame me for the desolation of the suburban towns, which is clearly the work of Roland Wimbledon!" he said almost snarlingly, "it was his witch who killed the men, not me!"

"Your Majesty, please be ......angry," the minister and the chief knight advised, "and the most important thing now is to stop Hofford Quinn's advance, so that he can be discouraged—the nobles of the foreign land are watching you!"

I should have put them all in jail in the first place, Ampei thought with hatred, "How many more people do I have available at the moment?"

"The total number of knights, guards and mercenaries in the palace is fifteen hundred, and if the maids and servants are mobilized, it will be possible to increase the number by two thousand. The chief knight replied, "There are stone walls outside the castle area that can be guarded, and it doesn't take much training to kill the enemy, and although the walls are not as thick as the main walls, there is no problem standing on them." ”

It was originally his hole card against other lords - especially the palace guards, almost every one of them had the combat ability of a quasi-knight and was exceptionally well-equipped, and he began to train them before his father died. Only now, he had to throw them into the defense of the palace.

"Take out all the chests in the vault and tell those servants that if you kill a monster, you will be rewarded with a hundred golden dragons!" An Payin gritted his teeth, "If I can thwart the other party's rebellion, I will give him a title and a fief!

"Yes!"

The Church's Divine Punishment Warrior was not invulnerable, and he had confirmed this from the Pure, and even if those monsters were infinitely powerful, it was impossible to tear down the entire stone wall with their bare hands, right?

As for fighting more and more, it was just a trick on the part of Earl Quinn, who must have arranged the thugs a long time ago, and then disguised himself as an illusion of growing momentum.

No nobleman would have believed that such a fierce warrior was available everywhere in Glowing City, and only today did he emerge. And stupid civilians don't care even if they believe it, their ideas have no effect on the situation at all.

"Does that old fellow Hoford have the support of the other nobles?" Ampein looked at the minister.

The latter's face suddenly became a little ugly, "Uh, this ......"

"Say!"

"It is rumored that "Black Money" has begun to contact Earl Quinn, but the exact circumstances are not known for the time being-"

"These pervasive moths!" Ampein clenched his fists, "Father still uses their underground kennel as part of the market, and I should have raided their house sooner!"

However, he also knew that this sentence was just a vent of anger, the organizers of the "black money" were all wealthy merchants and magnates in Glow City, and their status was no less than that of the great nobles, and a large part of the wealth accumulated in the Moya family's treasury came from the pockets of these people.

"Besides, the Tokat family has openly come together with the Quinn family," the minister swallowed, "but please don't worry too much, Your Majesty, I've heard that the Rossi family has rejected Hofford Quinn's invitations on several occasions. ”

These are the three major families that my father is proud of...... Ampein sneered in his heart, now the two families have become thieves, and they move faster than those little nobles who are watching, and the reason why the last one does not dare to act is only because Otto Lossy is still in his hands.

But it might be a weapon for him.

"Send someone to tell Count Rossi that if he wants to prove his innocence, he will immediately come to the palace with the knights and servants of the domain. Ampein said coldly, "Otherwise...... I will not show mercy to the heirs of the rebellious family. ”

"I'll do it!" replied the minister.

Two hours later, the Lord of Dawn received news of Count Losi's pledge of allegiance, which calmed his anger a little—he had finally turned the tide on his side rather than the bad news that was flying around the sky.

Ampein didn't care much about the knights of the Rossi family, and most importantly, he knew that the younger generation of the three families were brothers and sisters, and if they knew that going against the king would cost the life of one of them, would they still keep pace with the rulers of the family?

This is undoubtedly a stinger that is difficult to remove.

Soon, the deadline announced by former Prime Minister Hoford Quinn -
