The royal capital of Mitoras is the political and economic center of the inner world. There are rows of four- and five-story high-rise buildings with beautifully decorated buildings, wide roads, and dense population.
However, things have not been peaceful here recently, with thieves and thieves running rampant. Not long ago, refugees poured into the underground streets of the royal capital, and food was in short supply, causing a certain amount of chaos.
Many military policemen were distributing leaflets and newspapers on the street, and were answering questions from the onlookers.
The military has just announced that it has banned the royal government. People are panicked, the public security is inevitably a bit chaotic, and the people are very distrustful of the new military government.
In the evening, under the afterglow of the setting sun, Ren Ymir and others, Leviban and some people from Hanji's detachment came here and met with Captain Alvin.
"Is this the royal capital? It's really prosperous." Connie looked around and marveled.
"It's very good, but there are people who have a bad life everywhere." Jean looked at a child about 10 years old, and he snatched the briefcase of a middle-aged uncle and ran away.
The uncle chased him angrily.
Ren was silent in thought, and the group finally met Alvin, Hanji and the others.
The next step was for Historia to be crowned king. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the military originally planned to hold a coronation ceremony the day after tomorrow, but Ymir's proposal caused an uproar.
It turns out that Ymir holds the truth about the world outside the wall, and she also possesses the power of a giant, which is indeed very important. However, after all, she does not have any political capital or background, so it is difficult for her to make real demands to the military.
However, the current situation is very delicate. Ymir wants to reorganize the Central Gendarmerie and establish the Queen's Guard. For this, the people from the Survey Corps first expressed support, possibly out of guilt. His father killed the goddess's sister, and Allen made it clear
He said that he would do his best to help her, and so did the new recruits at the same time. As for Captain Alvin and Hanji, they did not express any objection to this. In fact, they acquiesced.
From the beginning, the gendarmerie and those stationed in the corps did not relent, including President Daris. In fact, they wanted a puppet queen. The poison of power was incurable. When they replaced the royal government, their ambitions inevitably expanded.
At night, in a conference room, military bosses gathered to discuss matters regarding the Queen's Guards.
At first, no one took this matter seriously, and many people even said that they would directly capture Ymir and torture him for information. But then something unexpected happened, and the local nobles spoke out.
In fact, what the military captured was only a few core nobles in the royal capital, but there were many local nobles and rural nobles in the inner world. Not only did they own territories and astonishing wealth, they also had considerable private armed forces.
In particular, the several marquis within the Wall of Rose are very powerful, such as the one in the southern territory. Commander Pixis would deliberately let him down when playing chess.
No one is willing to just withdraw from the center of power and be swept into the dust of history. After several representatives of local nobles came to the royal capital, they found that the situation was over. Currently, there is only one illegitimate daughter with a disgraceful status in the royal bloodline. Hope
Stella Reis.
A puppet queen may not be able to guarantee their interests, but the local nobles who have been comfortable for too long can't think of any good solutions for a while. They don't have the courage to engage in armed conflict. They can only hold their noses and accept the result.
But Ymir's proposal was tantamount to throwing a big stone into the newly calm water. It reminded the nobles and found an outlet. Since the queen has no power, then give her more power by establishing
The Queen's Guard maintains the influence of the noble line.
The local nobles may not be very supportive of Historia, who is the illegitimate daughter of the royal family. They just want to establish the Queen's Guard and use this armed force to speak out so that they will not be completely kicked out of the center of power, in order to protect themselves.
Benefit.
On the left side of the rectangular conference table, a big boss in military uniform said loudly: "Are you kidding me? We took so many risks to overthrow the decadent royal government, and now a bitch with a suspicious identity and ulterior motives actually jumped out to pick peaches!
Who does she think she is? Just a new recruit! She has concealed important information for many years, and now she is using it as a threat. Why does she want to rise to the top in one step?
Alvin, she is from the Survey Corps, you should have the responsibility and ability to deal with her!"
Neil Decker looked serious: "Unrestricted power is terrifying. The previous Central Military Police Corps, in the name of the king, acted lawlessly without any restrictions at all. Even if the Central Military Police Corps was reorganized and the Queen's Guard was established, it would never be possible.
No restrictions.
Alvin, that female soldier is from your Survey Corps, don’t you have anything to say?”
After pouring himself a cup of black tea, Alvin was very calm and said slowly: "The information she possesses is crucial, and she has the power of a giant. We cannot risk falling out with her and go to war with her.
If the fish is dead and the net is broken, we will lose the opportunity to understand the outside world.
Moreover, the current situation is that representatives of the nobility have taken the initiative to approach her, and the establishment of the Queen's Guard is no longer inevitable. The key is the form and nature of the reorganization of this new Central Military Police Regiment."
Pixis, commander of the southern region of the Garrison Corps, took a sip of wine, grunted, and breathed out: "I would like to remind you, don't think I said it harshly. We did not overthrow the royal government just to fight for power. The queen has certain powers.
It's not necessarily a bad thing.
Of course, you may be very dissatisfied with saying this, but currently, the representative of the nobles, Marquis Derek from the north of the Wall of Rose, has arrived. He contacted the female soldier named Ymir and expressed that the nobles are willing to fully support her in becoming the queen.
Captain of the Guard.
I have to explain that if Ymir, who has the power of giants, and the armed forces of the nobles unite, and in the name of supporting the queen, they can definitely fight a war with us that is enough to destroy this small inner world!"
Pixis's eyes were cold and his expression was cold: "I will never allow this to happen, and I also hope everyone can remember that this fragile world inside the wall can no longer withstand the torment!
Moreover, enemies such as the Armored Titan and Super Giant are still waiting outside, so I advise you to carefully consider the current situation and don’t just focus on the power in your own hands!”
Pixis is the same as Alvin, it's not that he doesn't love power, it's just that there are more important things in their hearts than this. For the commander, it is obviously the safety of all humans within the wall that is more important.
Daris, who was sitting in the main seat, adjusted the frame of the picture and moistened his throat: "Everyone, it is inevitable to reorganize the Central Military Police Regiment. Marquis Derek will arrive with Ymir in the near future. What we need to consider should be
Yes, how to limit this force."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and time passed by. About half an hour later, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a white gentleman's hat, a light blue dress, and a sexy moustache pushed open the door.
Entering, he greeted very politely: "Good evening, everyone. I'm Derek Bryan. Nice to meet you."
"You're welcome, Marquis Derek, please take a seat." Daris smiled.
Derek sat opposite the president, followed by the expressionless Ymir. Everyone had different reactions when they saw her. Alvin laughed gently, Pixis looked at her, and Nair...
Dirk frowned.
It wasn't until Marquis Derek came to Ymir to explain the situation that she realized that she was too naive and that the political struggle was far more complicated than she thought. Therefore, after confirming that the interests were temporarily aligned, she handed over this negotiation to
Let Derek handle it.
This is a wise move. She is not a politician. In many cases, alliances formed by interests are even more reliable than those established by friendship, at least until the interests change.
Marquis Derek talked to everyone very calmly. The nobles had been comfortable for too long and had long lost their blood. They were previously frightened and helpless. Some of the bolder ones were also afraid that they would be the ones who stood out and be killed by the military.
.
The appearance of Ymir was a complete surprise to the nobles. She not only held an important bargaining chip, but also had the power of a giant. After the nobles knew about it, their confidence increased, so they tried to push her out. Even if they failed, it would not be affected.
to oneself.
"I think it is not appropriate for her to serve as the captain of the Queen's Guards of the Central Military Police Regiment. She is just a new recruit and does not understand the relevant matters at all and has no experience in this area.
I believe that suitable talents should be selected from the military to fill this important position." A boss of the northern garrison said unceremoniously.
It must be said that the number of people in the military has expanded a lot now. He would not have dared to talk to a marquis like this before.
Derek smiled softly, very gracefully, not angry: "Isn't Kenny Ackerman still the captain of the anti-personnel suppression force? You know, that murderer is not even a soldier.
Why can't Ymir? She is a soldier, has the power of a giant, and is no worse than anyone else in strength. Moreover, she was a close friend of the queen during her training period, and has always taken care of our unfortunate queen. She is loyal and reliable, and she is also
Is there anyone more powerful and loyal than her?"
Many people present frowned, this Marquis Derek was obviously not a loser.
