Chapter 601: The Second Day of the Heavenly Collapse (Twelve)
The current Prince's Mansion has become an "island" surrounded by many more. More than two hourglasses have passed, and the magic array protected outside the inner courtyard is already crumbling, and even General Bento was seriously injured and hid in the inner courtyard with the remnants of the army.
And Finn originally thought that the chance was slim to risk death, but there was a dreamlike process. When he led more than 300 people in the palace to rush to the prince's mansion, he was delighted to find that the prince Zacian had been trapped in the inner courtyard, and Lucien's operation was almost complete.
However, "good things are grinding", the magic array in the inner courtyard is like a demon turtle shell, it is very tough, and it can only be grinded slowly. Then General Bento arrived with thousands of city defense troops.
General Bento's more than 1,000 people were all from the headquarters of the city defense army, which can be described as a strong army, plus the hundreds of city defense troops who were already in the prince's mansion (the rest were killed or fled), the situation suddenly took a sharp turn. However, at this moment, Finn was in a hurry, and he shouted: "By the will of His Majesty, who would dare to stop the traitor Zashian?"
And at this time, this lie, which was full of holes, immediately exerted a forbidden spell-like effect.
The first is the interior of the city defense army. General Bento is indeed loyal, but the city defense military is the only army in the imperial capital that is at stake in the imperial capital, so the suspicious and suspicious Emperor Saren may be relieved to let General Bento monopolize the power? Obviously, the city defense army is surrounded by mountains and checks and balances with each other.
This is not much in normal times, after all, those mountains are all under the orders of Emperor Salen. However, at this time, the two princes killed each other, and that was an internal matter of the royal family, so why should we be involved in it? Moreover, if what Finn said was true, and he really had the will of Emperor Salen, wouldn't that be an inexplicable rebellion? It's just that Finn has no will, and when he succeeds to the throne, he can forge as many copies as he wants, who dares to question it? You General Bento are loyal, we admire it, and we don't object to it. But this is a matter of death. Why are you holding us back?
As a result, many of the officers of the city defense army left or avoided the battle, leaving only a few troops loyal to Bento. However, the situation did not deteriorate. At this point, the strength of both sides is nothing more than a balance. However, at this time, Finn's henchmen also arrived in a steady stream.
As soon as these were originally wall grasses appeared, they had to behave well in front of Finn. They are even more active than the demons like Lucien, they are really not afraid of life and death, and in the end, they rely on the large number of people to defeat General Bento.
It's sad. The original means of balancing the crown prince Zahian by the Emperor Saren became Chasian's talisman. Most of the ministers who supported Chahian were deposed from St. Louis, so there are not many officials in the current imperial capital who support Chasien. On the contrary, it was Fein, with the acquiescence of Emperor Salen, who made friends with officials in a big way, and there were many people in the imperial capital. And this time it was prepared against unprepared, and these bits and pieces accumulated together, and finally formed a crushing advantage.
......
Watching his subordinates' magic and fighting spirit come out together. Constantly attacking the magic array, Finn laughed wildly: "Hahaha-! Bento! If you can capture this traitor, this king will forgive you!"
"Phew!" Bento spat out a mouthful of bloodshot saliva, "Your Majesty's last order is to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the minister will not dare to disobey the order." Second Highness, do you have to kill each other?"
"Cut!" Finn scoffed. In the case of a great situation. He wouldn't have done such a boring battle of words.
And the crown prince Chacian is very unbearable. He snorted and wept, and cried, "Finn, will I not fight? Please. Father, why didn't anyone come to save me?"
As for the situation in Zashian, the imperial city is quite clear, and the distance is not far. There is also the monitoring of the main hub of the magic array. However, no one ...... came up with the idea of a rescue.
There are people in this world who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of righteousness. But the vast majority of people are very realistic and think about their own interests.
The Verona Empire has existed for more than 3,000 years. It is said that it is an empire, but that "one line" is only for Charlemagne, who founded the empire, and all of them are descendants of his Childish family. However, when it comes to each emperor, it is not always passed from father to son and son to grandchildren. There are so many palace fighting stories in it that I can't count them. So for the officials, whether it is Zacian or Finn, one of them is the emperor, and the civil officials can accept it. Especially when Saren the Great did not appoint an heir.
And there is also a question of checks and balances involved.
Imagine here: if an important minister favors which prince, indeed, with his influence, it will definitely tilt the heavens completely. But then, this important minister will definitely stand out. It is cool that he is alone, but the rights of the other important ministers will definitely be weakened, who willing?
If it's just that, it's at least an addiction. But then what about this important minister, who is so powerful that he even threatens the throne, and the other important ministers join forces to slander him, and over time, it will be difficult to kill the clan and destroy it. That's definitely addictive to death!
Therefore, all the influential ministers did not speak, and even if those middle and low-level officials did, it had no effect.
Standing on the wall of the imperial city, Prime Minister Warreni looked in the direction of the prince's mansion, and finally sighed: "Hey! Send an order to bring in all the officials outside the imperial city to pay homage to Your Majesty! There is also a closed palace ban, and the safety of the imperial city must be protected." ”
As soon as he said this, Zacian was completely abandoned......
"Whoa-la-la-la-la
In the earth-shattering sound of "Long live", the magic array was finally broken. The besiegers scrambled into the inner courtyard, and General Bento put up a final desperate resistance. However, they were outnumbered, and the last resistance was like a wave, and it was wiped out in a blink of an eye. With all the others killed, the henchmen escorted the last remaining Zashian and his two young sons to Fin. (To be continued......)
