It was the 960th year of the Roland Empire calendar, June 12th, the summer festival day.
clear.
From very early on, the Imperial Capital’s Public Security Bureau had dispatched all its forces. However, what surprised Commander Sack, the chief of the Imperial Capital Public Security Bureau, was that early this morning, before it was dark, there were already people on the road.
Groups of Imperial Guardsmen.
These guards were obviously mobilized from the four acropolis around the imperial capital. They were brightly armored and fully armed. Everyone looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. This situation surprised Commander Sack: Although the imperial capital is like this
In the past few days, the increase in the foreign population has caused some chaos in public security, but after all, it is an annual festival celebration, so there seems to be no need to be so close to the enemy, right?
Commander Sack saw something amiss at a glance: these Guards were not wearing celebratory uniforms, but were completely ready for battle! All the infantry were wearing new armor that had just been replaced this summer.
There is a long sword hanging on it and a shield in hand.
The top officer of the Public Security Department stood on the street, frowning as he watched a group of Guardsmen pass by quickly. He was full of doubts and immediately returned to his office in the Public Security Department, and then called one of his subordinates and asked him to
Go to the military headquarters immediately and ask for instructions.
But soon, the bad news came back. Even the four teams of security station soldiers sent out by Commander Sack in the morning quickly sent reports, saying that the Guards were blocking the security station soldiers from patrolling.
As Sack was getting angry, a guy dressed as a Guards officer came in outside the Imperial City Public Security Bureau. He looked at the badge on his chest. He was a fifth-level knight and deputy commander-in-chief.
"Commander Sack!" This guy had an indifferent look on his face, and he broke into Commander Sack's office with two followers, and then read out an order loudly: "Special order from the headquarters: In order to maintain the security of the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital City Defense
All deployments, including public security, are temporarily under the control of the Guards. The Imperial City Public Security Bureau is temporarily under the control of the Guards, and everything is at the disposal of General Juncker of the Wang family's second division of the Guards Corps!"
After speaking, this guy put this military order on Commander Sack's desk.
General Junker of the Wang Family’s Second Division?
That guy Juncker's Wang Family's Second Division is responsible for the defense of the imperial capital! Why should he be in charge of our Public Security Department!
The thirty-nine-year-old Sack looked at the military order in front of him. It clearly had the signature of Count Raymond of the Rollin family, the deputy commander-in-chief of the headquarters, and also had the seal of the headquarters.
Sack suddenly felt a chill in his heart... Could something happen? The Guards had always been in charge of the outer city defense, and the Public Security Bureau was in charge of the inner city. This was an explicit order. But the Guards suddenly asked to take over with an order from the headquarters.
All powers of the Sheriff’s Office…
Commander Sark knew in his heart that even if the official document from the headquarters was true, it would be completely inappropriate with the legal procedures! To fully take over the imperial capital, His Majesty's order must be issued! But looking at the man in front of him with the risk in his eyes
The unfamiliar Guards officer, Commander Sack, noticed that the opponent's hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword. If he dared to refuse, I am afraid that the opponent would take action immediately!
Sack is very aware of his own strength. Although he has the title of a fourth-level knight, in the world, his strength is not even level three. He only relies entirely on the power of his family to grasp this high position in the Public Security Department. He can't help but feel
He looked outside the door and cursed in his mind that the guards under his command had neglected their duty! They let these guys in so casually! Although these guys had emergency military orders issued by the military, they should at least inform them!
"Okay..." Sak hesitated for a while, but in the end he still didn't dare to refuse. He hesitated: "I wonder how the military needs our Public Security Department's cooperation?"
"It's very simple." The unfamiliar officer released the hilt of his sword: "From now on, you will only be responsible for the area near the Magic Union in the east of the city. All other areas will be handed over to our Guards. And..." His face
There was a hint of a sinister smile on his face: "According to the military order of General Juncker, the security of the Imperial Capital has been chaotic recently. In order to ensure the safety of the Public Security Department and protect the safety of the Public Security Department and the imperial officials, I took an infantry squadron to guard the security.
Outside the department..."
Sack immediately got angry: "What! You are openly surrounding the Sheriff's Department! How brave! I want to talk to that bastard Juncker!"
"Sorry, this is a military order!" The unfamiliar officer sneered: "Commander Sark, please cooperate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several more soldiers wearing Guards armor rushed in from outside. The guards outside the door had already been beaten to the ground. Sack was shocked and angry, and violently slapped the case. Suddenly he saw outside the door.
The compound of the Public Security Department is already filled with Guards!
The officials and officers of the Public Security Department in other offices, facing these wolf-like Guards and these heavily armed guys, looked at the bright long swords in each other's hands, and all retreated to the room with interest.
inside.
"Are you going to rebel?" Sack sat down weakly in his chair.
"It's 'protection'." The officer said calmly: "As long as you don't cause trouble yourself, I will ensure your safety!"
Sack already regrets his behavior of sending out a large number of soldiers from the Public Security Department early this morning! Most of the soldiers from the Public Security Department were sent by Commander Sack to patrol around the Imperial City early in the morning. In this way, the empty security situation
All the offices were captured by the opponent, and there was no strength to resist at all.
"Okay." Sack nodded resignedly: "You just said that you would let my people patrol around the Magic Union, but now you have blocked all my people in the Public Security Bureau, how can I issue my orders?
!”
"It's very simple." The officer took out several blank orders from his arms and placed them in front of Sack: "Just give the order, and my people will send your order to your subordinates!"
Sack stared blankly at the blank orders in the form of the Sheriff's Department in front of him. He reached out and picked up a quill pen beside the table. His heart was so excited that he couldn't help but flick his wrist, and a drop of thick ink dripped on the snow-white surface.
On paper…
Most people didn't know what happened in the early morning. When the sun came out and pedestrians gradually began to appear on the street, everyone suddenly discovered that the soldiers from the Public Security Department who had been patrolling back and forth in the past were gone and replaced by a group of people.
A group of guardsmen, fully armed and full of murderous intent.
Each of these Guardsmen had a fierce and indifferent look on their face. They did not have the joy of a festival at all. Instead, they looked like they were about to go to war. Pedestrians on the road couldn't help but stay away from them when they saw them.
Then the news came: early in the morning, several city gates in the imperial capital were closed. The Guards issued a notice that the city gates were temporarily closed and no one was allowed to enter or exit. Some people questioned, but the other party only said that the ancient magic circle would be opened in the imperial capital today, so it was closed.
City Gate. At the same time, the 100-meter area around the city gate is designated as a restricted area, and no random people are allowed to approach.
Although these situations seem too weird, for ordinary people, the word "coup" has never been thought of. After all, the mainland has been at peace for hundreds of years, and the news that the magic circle will be opened on the festival day has long been circulated.
So although everyone was surprised, it did not cause any panic or commotion.
Until the morning, about 3,000 cavalry from the Guards Corps appeared outside the city. These cavalry were quickly divided into several squadrons and surrounded several city gates of the imperial capital.
Du Wei meditated for a night. Before that, he had completely filled the multicolored stone ring with magic power. After a night of meditation, Du Wei had recovered all the magic power. After getting up, he put it on under Mader's service.
After putting on the most luxurious dress, the Countess sent someone to send Du Wei a pair of brand new leather boots.
When Du Wei walked out of his small building, he had already noticed a trace of tension at home. The guards of the Luo Lin family were fully armed. The warriors wore light armor and carried short military crossbows with them. Three hundred Luo Lin family members
The guards all mounted their horses and waited at the entrance of the Earl's Palace.
Duwei's father, Earl Raymond, came out followed by the Alpha Guard Captain. The Earl was wearing a uniform of the military headquarters. The neat uniform was obviously carefully ironed, even the corners and collar were so neat.
The earl had sharp edges and corners. The earl wore long riding boots. Alpha personally led a black war horse. The earl put on a pair of white gloves, then glanced at his son and said lightly: "Let's go, let's go to the emperor now."
The central square of the city is the busiest place today, and there will be a viewing ceremony on the festival day starting at noon."
What is unusual is that for such a holiday celebration, the count did not take his wife with him. Instead, he left the countess at home on the pretext that she was unwell.
Du Wei followed his father and got on the horse. In public places like this festival celebration, in order to highlight the Luo Lin family's martial arts tradition, they did not ride in a carriage. Alpha arranged a fine white horse for Du Wei. Du Wei saw
He looked around and suddenly said: "Brother, aren't you going too?"
"Gabri... I asked him to stay at Mr. Lan Hai's house." The earl said lightly, then turned his horse's head and was about to set off, when he suddenly looked back at Du Wei: "I... and I were with him two days ago.
Do you understand what you said?"
"I think it's very clear." Du Wei's tone was also very calm, and then he asked: "Father, are you sure?"
"Nothing in the world is completely certain. As long as you are 70% sure, you have a good chance of winning." The Earl seemed to smile.
