One day... one day... one day...

The camera turns again and the pace continues.

In the south, a certain place, a certain city, the smoke of gunpowder is rising!

"Report - Your Highness, Eastern Beiyun City has been broken! Thunder Legion's first army Broadsword battalion, the third division long spear battalion, and Legion's direct heavy cavalry battalion, a total of tens of thousands of thieves are heading here. Come on, we are expected to arrive under the city gate in the morning."

"Your Highness, there is an urgent message from Qusay City in the north... Clay and General Clay can't hold it anymore and need urgent support."

"The same is true of Western Ballory City. The Zichen Legion battle strength that was attacked is too strong. It is expected to last only one more day at most. The general will send someone to send a message back... They, they will swear together with the city.

Life or death!"

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

In the large hall, the tension was spreading in a panic. The threshold is neither high nor low, it seems that it is about to be collapsed by the messengers who turn one after another. One after another, the negative battle reports came one after another, like the shackles of the reins that were constantly tightened, making everyone in the hall breathless, and their expressions changed.

"Hehe, it's really being attacked from all directions, and it's a mess!" In the panicked atmosphere, only the gentle young man surrounded by everyone, his expression did not change, he laughed at himself and laughed indifferently. "Your Highness, the danger here can no longer be tolerated, you must retreat now!"

"Retreat? Where else can we retreat?" There are dozens of cities in total. Aside from the small towns that have no strategic defense value, only seven big cities are available. In addition to the cities that have been breached and are about to be breached, now only the big city of Manta is worthy of a battle. At this time, you asked me to withdraw, didn't you ask me to raise my hand to surrender?"

"But the bandit army is about to kill you. Your Highness, your status is noble, and you can't take risks!"

p>

"That's right, Your Highness. Why don't you evacuate to the rear town with your lords first. Contact reinforcements from all over the world. We will continue to stand here and fight to the death, never letting the thieves take a step forward!"

"That's a good idea. As long as you are safe, Your Highness, you can retain our hope of continuing to resist..."

"What a shit!" There were dissuasive voices. The Second Prince of the Empire, who has always shown himself in a gentle and elegant image, suddenly uttered foul language, frowning and looking at the dazed old nobles around him, his eyes narrowed, "As a commander, if you don't fight first, let your soldiers block you. Die. Even if I can survive, what face will I have in the future?"

"Uh..." "Needless to say. The crowd slowly and firmly pulled out the saber around the waist, and said solemnly, "Pass my order, let Klay and other generals leave the ruined city, and lead the soldiers under his command to return here immediately, and join me to defend the city wall of Manta!"

"Your Highness..."

"Shut up! As I said, you don't understand...implement military orders!"

"...Yes!"

Looking at the officers who gave the standard military salute with excitement, and then hurriedly led away, then turned to look at the worried old nobles. Second Prince shook the head, took his sword and strode out of the council chamber, surrounded by the guards in front of him. Decided to go to the city wall.

You don't understand...

The key to deciding the outcome of this battle, and even the ownership of the imperial power of the empire, is not at all the victory or defeat of this city at present. And in the distance, in the royal court of the capital city, in the Temple Federation, in someone's hands... So, just keep on supporting here, the longer the better...

...

...

The so-called smart person is the kind of guy who can see what the ordinary person can't see, and can think of things that the ordinary person can't think of.

So even though the situation is precarious, Second Prince is not panicking. Of course, then again. The Eldest Prince side, who has an absolute advantage, is naturally not to mention panic. on the contrary. They are in a very happy mood in the capital city. Because in their eyes, everything is already in Proficient.

So. Even if the outcome has not yet come out, they have already started to think about the future, and they have begun to enjoy the luscious fruits of victory in advance!

For example, before the Eldest Prince put on the crown, a small celebration ceremony was held in the capital... Well, it must be said that this is not simply trying to put on a winning posture, or act arrogantly, but As per the Imperial Family rules.

As mentioned earlier, Titus is an empire where kingship and theocracy are closely combined. If the new king wants to truly ascend the throne, he must go to Temple Federation in person, accept the coronation blessing ceremony of His Excellency the Pope, and put on the crown, so that he can be properly crowned as the king.

Today's ambitious empire, the Eldest Prince, follows exactly this process. To put it bluntly, that is to say, first celebrate in one's own home, then go to Temple Federation to receive the crown, and finally return, and then celebrate with the whole country and amnesty the world!

Well, the general process is like this. So——

A few days later, in the evening, outside the Imperial Family Theater in the capital.

The season is at the end of winter, and under the heavy snow, I believe it should be the last heavy snow this year, the majestic theater decorated with lights does not feel cold at all. The bonfires are burning, people are coming and going, greetings, horses neighing gently, the wheels screeching through the snow... and, without entering the theater, you can faintly hear the joyous music outside.

Extraordinarily warm, the atmosphere is very good, and the atmosphere of singing and dancing is peaceful!

"Yo, isn't this Hobart count, good evening, I heard that your family has been expanding a lot recently, and they have taken in several Business Group stores. Even the supplies sent to Temple Federation tonight. , your family are all involved...hehe, so we have to order soup for our little family."

"Marquis Primo? Little family, aren't we worth mentioning?"

"Ha, Hobert, don't make fun of me. Our family is not worth mentioning in front of you who have made good friends with His Royal Highness Eldest Prince. mentioning?"

"Your lord, you're too modest...and, hehe, there's no Lord Eldest Prince right now."

"Yo, look at my broken mouth. , just can't learn to speak. It's the king Your Majesty, the king Your Majesty! hehe...please!"

"Don't dare, sir, please!"

"haha, then Same invitation, same invitation—”

In the snow in front of the theater, two old nobles wearing velvet pointed hats and luxurious cloaks first waved their hands to invite each other, then looked at each other and laughed at each other. Together, they walked towards the theater door.

Scenes and dialogues like this are common in front of theaters.

To put it bluntly, that is, bustling, all for the benefit of the future!

After the Eldest Prince personally poisoned to death the old king and pursued the younger brother Second Prince, the forces of all parties in the previous capital city were naturally disintegrated and reshuffled. Among them, the forces that were close to the Eldest Prince, such as Hobert Count, rose up like a wild beast, swarmed up, and smashed the fruits of victory that belonged to the Second Prince's side. And nobles such as the Marquis of Primo, who were originally neutral, had to follow the trend to follow the forces of the Eldest Prince after seeing that the victory and defeat of the two sides had been divided, in order to gain some extra benefits for the family...

It's not surprising that things like this are just a matter of fly camp gougou. However, just as the two old nobles were about to walk into the entrance of the theater, there was a sudden neighing sound of horses at the intersection behind, faintly mixed with the light sound of swords and armor hitting the light, which made people look back in surprise.

As I said just now, this time and place is the banquet held by the Eldest Prince to celebrate his upcoming coronation. Given the current situation in the capital, the battallion cavalry guards should not appear in front of them. The tense atmosphere of the sword, the narrow wind and snow, and the galloping.

Obviously out of place.

But when everyone present saw the rear of the battallion cavalry, the family logo on the guarded luxury carriage couldn't help but suddenly realize,

"It turned out to be the Ogleir family. ...Oh, that's no wonder..."

"hmph, shameless villain, reap what you have sown!"

"Yes, I still remember that Winslyn boy first came in When Lord Sword God came under the door, it caused a sensation in the capital city, and even took advantage of the wind to rise up with the Ogleir family. That was arrogant. But now? Hehe... Having said that, everyone has heard of it. The gang of Assassin Martial Artist broke into the Ogleir family manor at night and wanted to kill, but there was a lot of noise..."

"I heard that this group of people should be going to kill the villain Winslyn. , to clear the door for Lord Sword God. It's a pity that it didn't work... Not to mention the character of this guy Winslyn, it's really good in terms of talent, after all, he was born in the Sword God lineage..."

" No matter how good he is, he can't escape death in the end. I think this Winslyn is in the capital, as long as he dares to step out of the city, he will definitely be surrounded by the expert Martial Artist who heard the news!"

"Yeah, I heard that the Imperial Family enshrined in the Royal Castle was also very dissatisfied with him. If it wasn't for the Eldest Prince, this Winslyn and this Ogleir family would have been destroyed several times..."

...

discuss spiritedly, the nobles who paused outside the theater for a while, watching the cavalry phalanx, luxurious carriage, or contempt, or taking pleasure in other people's misfortune . . . the sarcasm is varied and undisguised.

It is not surprising that such discordant scenes will appear. There are no secrets in the aristocratic circle. Regarding the matter that Winslyn coaxed Senior Brother Haita to leave the Imperial Sanatorium, and then set up an ambush to kill himself, although the Eldest Prince tried his best to cover it up, there was still a faint rumor in the upper-class aristocratic circle of the capital.

The status of Sword God Woodin is really detached in the Titus Empire. He has guarded the empire for most of his life and has even surpassed the boundaries of the imperial faction. Whether it is the Eldest Prince who is currently in power or the Second Prince who is losing power, there is no discount or deviation in the respect of this Guardian God.

As a result, everyone's senses of Winslyn who betrayed the sect and murdered the Senior Brother and his family were naturally not much better. Even now, the other party is considered to be his own person who 'abandoned the dark and cast the light'...

"Hey, he actually brought a gun... Are you going to bring weapons to the banquet?" The long spear tapped the snow, and an old nobleman in front of the theater couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, the corner of his mouth was slightly sarcastic.

"It's not just a gun, it's also injured. Hehe, it seems that this kid is not having an easy time recently."

"Forget it, today is a day of celebration, no need to Let's go."

"Please..."
