The year 526 of the Fire Calendar is destined to be a turbulent year for the Kingdom of Doguland.

First, the statue of the Sun King was toppled, and the belief in the sun was severed, and the old gods withdrew from the stage of history forever.

Then there is the earth-shattering battle of the Apocalypse, where the scorched earth is full of corpses and the population of the kingdom has plummeted by tens of millions.

Now at the 59th Plenary Session, the invincible regent was suddenly dismissed, the gods were bleeding, and the upheaval was only in the day.

After the plenary session, a purge of the court, led by Queen Laurel, began.

After a lapse of 6 years, the former Auxiliary Minister, now the "Right Hand of the King" Madara once again drafted an official letter to Her Majesty the Queen to impeach the regent, Chino Van Helsing, who had been dismissed.

The impeachment was received by Her Majesty the Queen, who ordered a thorough investigation of all irregularities committed during the Regent's reign.

The first to suffer were the Governor of the Moon-Seeking Province and the leader of the Hitch family, Jashan, and the Governors of the Grey Mist and Beacon Provinces.

In order to cover up their son's murder, these three people secretly traded with the regent, manipulated local policies, and flouted the legal code, and were ordered by Her Majesty the Queen to take off their posts and put them in prison.

In less than five days, all the irregularities committed during the reign of the three fallen governors were discovered, and they were executed in public at the execution ground.

The fall of the three governors was just the beginning.

Within a month, the ministers of the royal palace who had been close to Chino were dismissed one after another, imprisoned, exiled, and executed.

All the positions thus vacated were promoted directly by the queen from the localities, and most of the people at the top were people of outstanding ability and upright thinking.

These people have accumulated enough experience in the local area, and they are united in their efforts to oppose the Regent's distorted "maintenance" policy, and are willing to carry out a profound change.

Wenchen is like this, and the purge of the generals of the legion is not too much.

In the name of "there are rebel ministers inside, and they defend the king's side", Queen Laurel issued the "Qinwang Order" to the Janissary Legions of the Cardinal Province.

As the province where the royal city is located, the "Cardinal Province" has a total of 75 legions and a total of 600,000 Praetorian Guards, all of whom are elite, and control the safety of the entire kingdom.

King Qin's decree stipulates that the main headquarters of each army shall not move in the place where they are stationed, and the lieutenant general and the main general shall enter the palace and be ordered to be the king of Qin.

Anyone who refuses to serve the king for any reason will be punished for disobedience to the king's decree, and the "king's left hand" Lorna Fin Regnom will take the man herself.

Officers who can achieve the rank of general are not fools, and they can see early that this Qin Wang Ling has ulterior motives.

If nothing else, how can King Qin only produce generals and not lead troops?

King Qin, to put it nicely, isn't it just to drag people as hostages?

However, even if the generals of the forbidden army saw through it, there was nothing they could do about it.

What can they do?

Direct rebellion?

Not to mention whether the subordinates are willing to follow the rebellion, now that the situation in the palace is unknown, and the regent has not sent any signal, who dares to raise the anti-flag on his own initiative?

There was no news of Chino, and there was a "Banshee Legion of Mourners" led by Lorna as a deterrent by force, and the generals of the forbidden army had no power or intention to disobey, so they could only rush to the royal city one after another.

What awaits them will be house arrest for an unknown amount of time. ….

After lifting the actual military power of the generals of the forbidden army, Queen Laurel selected a group of people with shallow qualifications, low personal prestige, and easy control to serve as the generals of the forbidden army, and completed the control of 600,000 forbidden troops.

In this upheaval, every step was a thunderous blow to the regent's lineage, but strangely, in the face of the knife that kept cutting flesh and removing bones, Chino himself did not react.

From the middle of the red lotus season to the middle of the frost season, for two whole months, Chino never went out of the house, playing the piano at home all day long.

The sound of the piano lingered over the mansion from morning to night, dense, manic, magnificent as rain, like a storm sweeping in all directions.

I don't know how many ministers and generals with a difficult future came to ask for help, but none of them were able to enter the mansion, so they could only kneel outside the door and not know what to do.

Today, more than a dozen people came to the door, but because they didn't have Chino's permission, Niko had to stop them outside.

The people fell to their knees, their faces pale and their lips blistered with blood, and pleaded bitterly to Niko:

"Please, go and report to Chino-sama!"

"Our people are *** off one by one, and if Master Chino doesn't come forward, people will die!"

"You don't know what to do now, so please give me instructions and send a message! What does it mean to play the piano every day?!"

"A lot of people have changed their doors... But we are very loyal to Chino-sama, please don't let us down!"

...

The noisy voices came to her face, and when she saw everyone kneeling on the ground and crying one by one, Niko felt very uncomfortable.

She couldn't stand their pleading, so she could only say, "I'll go in and report again, but the adults can't come out, it's not for me to say..."

After speaking, Niko entered the mansion under the watchful eyes of everyone.

She came to the door of Chino's room, listened to the sound of the piano coming from inside, hesitated for a moment, and slammed the door with her knuckles: "My lord... Those people out there are about to collapse, don't you really come forward to say a few words?"

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the room fell into dead silence.

I don't know how long it took, but a low laugh came from inside the door: "Heh... Hehehe... Didn't they like to guess my mind by the sound of the piano?"

"Then let them guess what this sound means?"

Violent trebles suddenly rose and resounded through doors and walls, converging into a torrent of shocking torrents that tormented everyone's eardrums.

In Chino's frantic playing, all kinds of notes are mixed and anxious, and everything around seems to fall into a frenzied restlessness.

Unable to understand either the piano or Chino's words, Niko asked again, but the only responses were the manic notes.

She really had no choice but to go downstairs and go out and relay Chino's original words to the people kneeling outside the door.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

In the past, the "shadow king" sat behind the scenes and played the piano and listened to the government, and the notes played were very regular.

The recognition of lightness, the negation of dullness, the advance of the tone, the retreat of the downgrade... It is easy to find out the meaning of the melody that it wants to express.

But now, the sound of the piano coming from the mansion is only manic and chaotic, and it is difficult to even say whether this is "playing" or not, and the madness of its rhythm is more like someone smashing the keys all the way.

I don't know how long later, a minister had a look of fear in his eyes, and he looked at his companions around him, and found that everyone had the same look in their eyes.

Terrible thoughts arose in everyone's mind.

"Chino-sama... You can't go crazy, right?"
