"Come on! Kill all these traitors and enter the palace! Only in this way can we expel the regent princess and ensure the safety of His Majesty Assan V, the only legal heir of King Assan IV."
"Shut up! You are the traitors! You dare to kidnap the king in an attempt to launch a rebellion to overthrow the royal family's rule!"
"That's right! Queen Mother Phil Farrell has issued an order. Duke Shafa breaks into the palace without permission and kidnaps His Majesty Assan V. All his associates will commit treason."
"No! You are lying! This is all a conspiracy of the regent Princess Yalusel. She has taken control of the palace, and the Queen Mother is the one who is being held hostage."
"Duke Shafa has already said that the child in Princess Yalusel's belly belongs to Emperor Soth. They are plotting to kill His Majesty Assan V so that their heirs can ascend the throne."
"Stop talking nonsense to these traitors! Since they are stubborn, let them all die here!"
…
Accompanied by the sounds of quarreling, fighting, the sound of weapons clashing, and the painful groans of injuries, the entire streets around the palace had long since turned into a Shura field, with blood and corpses everywhere.
I am afraid that King Cormyr, who founded the Purple Dragon Legion, would never have imagined that this elite army, regarded as the mainstay of the royal family, would one day split into two camps to fight each other.
You must know that these soldiers and officers do not even have professional ranks, they are just ordinary people who have received some training.
They are a group of warriors with at least LV1 Purple Dragon Knight professional level.
If you count the skills that must be mastered in advance, most of them have a total professional level of at least LV5 or above.
This also means that the Purple Dragon Army followed a small but refined route. From officers to soldiers, there were only 2,340 people in total. They were all brought in after years of spending money. One or two hundred people died.
It will make kings of all ages feel distressed.
But now, the sword they swore to guard the royal family and protect the country has been slashed at their brothers and sisters.
Among them, the 1,500 men led by Duke Shafa obviously had an advantage in numbers.
But although the number of people on the other side is small, they can get support from arrows and spells on the towers on the palace wall behind them.
Therefore, the two sides actually fought evenly in a short period of time.
What's even worse is that it's late at night, and many nobles are taking the opportunity to eradicate political opponents, burning, killing, and looting. At a glance, the whole city is filled with flames that are soaring into the sky, and it is difficult to distinguish them even with the use of prophecy magic detection.
What is the situation outside?
Faced with such a chaotic situation, the smartest thing to do is to stick to the gate of the palace and wait until daybreak to figure out the situation before making a decision.
After all, Yalusel has the powerful backing of Zuo Si and the Empire. As long as he ensures his own safety, it doesn't matter even if he allows the royalists to seize the capital. At worst, they can just bring the army to fight back.
But this Iron Princess is obviously not the kind of person who will adopt conservative strategies honestly.
Because when she was still a young girl in her prime, she followed her father Assan IV across the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars to Seleman, and personally participated in the famous battle against the invasion of the nomadic army in the Endless Wilderness.
You must know that her role in this expedition was not to hide in the rear and shout for cheers, but to personally lead a team of cavalry into an enemy hundreds of times larger than herself, helping her father win the war.
It is precisely because he has a record at such an age that many people can brag about for a lifetime that Yalusel gradually becomes more and more obsessed with military and war, eager to win more victories to prove himself, and ignores
These two things are just a continuation of politics.
So after learning that Duke Shafa had led most of the Purple Dragon Knights to attack the palace, her first reaction was not to hide in a safe place, but to use transformation magic to reluctantly put on armor and appear on the city wall holding a sharp sword.
This kind of move, which can be called explosive no matter what time it is placed, immediately made the defenders and reinforcements surge in momentum.
Leaders like this who dare to go to the front line in person, or even personally lead the charge, can obviously win the trust and even admiration of soldiers more than leaders who hide in danger.
After all, they are really prepared to live and die with the soldiers.
This alone can throw off most rulers by dozens of blocks.
Why does Assan IV have such high prestige in the Kingdom of Cormyr?
One of the reasons is that every time he launched a general attack on the enemy during the war, he was always at the forefront of everyone, and then found the enemy's top commander, killed him and beheaded him.
Never be afraid!
Never back down!
How could such a heroic king not have a group of soldiers who were willing to follow him to the death?
Jalusel, who regards his father as his idol, obviously plans to follow suit.
Her random behavior made the royal mage Karadna feel dizzy and crazy. She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked in a low voice: "Damn you bastard! What the hell do you want to do?
?Do you know that you are now a pregnant woman who is about to give birth? Once something happens to you, the entire kingdom may become a river of blood!"
"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think."
Princess Iron curled her lips nonchalantly, narrowed her eyes and stared at the Purple Dragon Legion loyal to her outside the city wall, leaning against the city wall, using the cover of crossbows, muskets and magic to resist the enemy's attack.
The pungent smell of blood and the shouts of death made the warrior blood in her body begin to boil.
The most important thing is that it is night!
The power of darkness made Yalusel feel stronger than ever before.
As long as she is willing, she can even release magic that even high-level wizards can't match without any spells, materials or actions.
"This has nothing to do with whether you are fragile or not, but that you have done something extraordinary that is inconsistent with your current status, and you are taking unnecessary risks."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Karadne was obviously very angry at this irresponsible behavior.
You must know that there are almost two hundred guards using vibranium armor and weapons in the palace, as well as more than fifty battle mages. It is definitely enough to defend the palace from the rebels outside.
There is no need for Yalusel, who is the regent, to join in the fun.
What we should really do now is to stay with Phil Farrell and use the Queen Mother's prestige to suppress Assan V, who is being held hostage by the rebels.
"I know what you want to express.
But that would most likely mean serious damage to Susar and the entire kingdom.
Look at the fire in the distance, we must quickly put down the rebellion and restore everything to calm, otherwise the entire city will be burned to the ground.
Where is Shafa?
As the instigator of the rebellion, has he not shown up yet?"
Yalusel kept searching the chaotic streets with his eyes wide open, trying to find the other party.
Since becoming pregnant, she has acquired some kind of ability similar to dark vision, and can see farther and clearer than ordinary humans at night.
Karadna shook his head helplessly: "You should know that Shafa is a very cautious person. Unless the situation is very critical, he rarely joins the battle in person. I just wanted to confirm his identity through prophecy magic.
location, and the results were invariably disrupted.”
"You mean there's a powerful spellcaster at his side?"
Yalusel asked in an uncertain tone.
"have no idea.
Maybe it's the effect of a spell, or maybe it's a magic item.
From this point of view alone, the rebellion was by no means a temporary initiative, but sufficient preparations had been made in advance.
I even suspect that many nobles are involved.
Don't forget, there are always many people who oppose you in Parliament.
So the current situation is quite complex, and the problem may be much more serious than you think."
Karadne patiently explained.
Because with the appearance of Lord Yalusel, it was no longer possible for her to drive the regent princess back, which would cause a huge blow to the morale of the defenders and reinforcements.
In desperation, he could only order a few guards holding shields to follow closely.
But Yalusel didn't pay any attention to the tense nerves of the Royal Archmage, and said directly and non-stop: "In this case, why don't we open the city gate and take the initiative to attack and defeat these rebels in one fell swoop?"
"What? Are you crazy? We don't even know how many rebels are on the streets outside."
Karadne's eyes widened, as if she were looking at a madman with an abnormal brain.
"Because of this, I have to confirm it even more.
My father has emphasized to me more than once that you should never be intimidated by the number and momentum of your enemies.
Because the more powerful and invincible they appear, the weaker they tend to be internally.
Many times it only takes one swift and decisive attack to defeat it.
What's more, I also have a powerful guard that is almost invulnerable."
After saying that, Yalusel turned around and ordered to his guard captain: "Immediately tell everyone to ride on the dragon-blooded horses sent from the empire. In ten minutes, I will open the palace gate and rush out to attack the enemy.
